THE LOST OXL: llESTOUED.
BY PAUL PLUME.
The wind blew fuiiously, and the rain
fell in torrents, when a traveler, one uiglit
in July, was traversing a thickly-wooded
portion of the country in Missouri. He
had ridden all day, and night overtook
him aud found him lost in what appeared
an impenetrable forest. The vines and un
derbuilt grew so thickly that he was com
pelled to halt, and dismounting from his
beast, sheltered himself, as best he could,
from the storm. His servant, a young man
some eighteen years old, accompanied him,
and waR very much terrified at the situa
tiu in which he found himself, never hav
ing been outside the limits of a city until
Mr. Randolph had employed him to accom
pany him on his journey.
Journeys in those days were generally
made on horseback or stages, for railroads
had not then intersected all parts ot our
country as at the present day.
"John," said Mr. Randolph, "ire shall
have to remain here until daylight; there is
no possibility of finding our way in the
darkness."
"If we are on the right road," replied
John, "we must surely be near the cabin
we were told about at the blacksmith's
shop."
"I fear," replied Mr. Randolph, "we
have lost the road entirely. In fact I am
positive of it. We can do nothing but wait
until it becomes light enough for us to re
sume our way."
While Mr. Randolph was speaking the
wind lulled for a few moments, and there
came a ciy that caused John Glover to
start with terror. Mr. Randolph, who was
crouched beneath a tree, started to bis
feet and laid his hand on his pistol. Again
the cry broke forth, and Mr. Randolph
commanded John to soatch in the saddle
bag for a box of matches.
"It's some wild animal, I suppose," said
Glover, his teeth chattering with fright.
"No," replied Mr. Randolph, whose
practiced ear knew the cries of beasts too
well to be deceived, " 'tis a human voice,
and the cry is one of distress."
In a few moments Mr. Randolph had
lighted a pocket-lantern and was peering
about him with John Glover cautiously
standing in the rear. "Follow me," he
said to Glover, and immediately he pushed
his way among the bushes, where he lis
tened for a repetition of the cry. Once
again it came, and it seemed so. near to
him that he started backward and stood
perplexed. Just then a vivid Hash of light
ning lit up the forest, aud he saw some
thing white lying upon the ground, about
a dozen yards in his front,
Mr. Randolph darted forward and seized
the object, which proved, to his astonish
ment, to be a female child of some eighteen
months old, who was badly bitten in the
shoulder by some wild animal. He took
the little creature to his arms, and carried
her back to where the horses were tied.
If Mr. Randolph could have seen John
Glover's face he would have noticed that
it wore a perplexed look ; but it was dark,
and he could not observe the expression of
his man's countenance.
41 What are you going to do with it?" in
quired John.
"That thought was crossing my own
mind at the moment," replied Mr. Ran
dolph. "I can scarcely imagine. First
I must try and discover who has lost a child
in this part of the jcountry, and by that
means endeavor to find the parents of this
poor little creature."
"And suppose you can't find them ?" sug
gested John.
"Then I suppose I shall have to adopt
her as ray daughter," said Mr. Randolph.
"But you are not married," said John
Glover.
"And never am likely to be," responded
Mr. Randolph, upon whose mind came the
memory of one he loved who had passed
away from earth and left him a lonely man.
"We must not anticipate," he continued.
"To-morrow may'bring the parents of the
child to light."
When daylight came Mr. Randolph
found that be had wandered a good way
off the road, and the sun was well up ere
he gained the cabin at the edge of the for
est. It was inhabited by au old hunter by

uuipu n it cany welcome, auu was not long
in preparing breakfast.
"Well, I never heard of such a thing be
fore," said Stubbs, looking at the child
with curiosity. "There's noone living with
in twenty miles of this place, aad I can't im
agine how she came in the woods. Old
Bill Smoot's cabin is good twenty miles
from here, and Dan Neil is ten miles from
him, and that's all the people there are
this sifte the State line. Neither Bill or
Dan is married, and it's passing strange
where that young one came from."
"I wish you to take a ride through the
forest," said Mr. Randolph to Stubbs.
"Take the whole day to search for some
person claiming this child. I will remain
here until your return," and he placed a
piece of gold in the hunter's palm.
The sun's rays were slanti::g low among
the trees in the west wheu Bill Stubbs re
turned to his cabin.
"I'm afiaid you'll have to father that
young one," he exclaimed, addressidg Mr.
Randolph. "I've ridden nearly forty miles
to-day, aud can hear nothing of anybody
who has lost a child. Perhaps she's been
lost purposely."
Mr. Randolph looked serious. Such an
idea had not before occurred to him, but
ftom the moment he heard the words of
the old hnnter he mentally vowed that he
would adopt the child if ber parents were
not discovered.
Seventeen years later and Madge Ran
dolph, as the foundling was denominated,
had become the reigning belle of the town
of L .
Mr. Randolph had an occasion to make a
trip to the Stale of Durango, in Mexico,
and for that pnrpo.se joined a party of tra
ders who were starting from Independence.
All the men were well armed and had much
experience in Indian fighting ; so they felt
pretty much at ease on that score.
After two weeks travel beyond Smoky-'
hill Fork they came upon a camp of Sioux
Indians who had a white woman in bond
age. Several of the traders offered to pur
chase her freedom, but she was the wifeof
a chief who refused to listen to any pro
position involving her leaving him. The
poor creature seemed particularly desirous
of entering into conversation with her
countrymen, but the Indians rudely thrust
her back when she implored to be taken
back to civilized life.
That afternoon the Indians broke up
their camp and went away westward. The
traders had doubled theit offers to the
Indians, but they would not release their
captive. The same night when the traders
were in camp, they were suddenly aroused
by the sound of approaching horse hoofs
coming at a rapid gallop. A few minutes
later and the woman whose freedom they
had been trying to obtain, sprang from a
pony, exclaiming, "For heaven's sake, my
countrymen, do not give me up. I have
escaped, but they will soon be after me."
The traders instantly held a council.
The savages outnumbered them twenty to
one ; there was no hope of making a suc
cessful resistance.
"Some one must fly with the woman
back to Independence and there's not an
instant to be lost," criod several voices.
"Who'll do it?" asked the leader.
No one spoke ; the men all had goods
upon the train, and could not desert them.
"I have no property at risk," said Mr.
Randolph, after a few moments' reflection;
"my business is urgent, 'tis tiue, but I'll
take her back or perish in the attempt."
A few miuutes later, and Randolph and
the woman were flying as fast as horses
could take them back to Missouri.
Just before the break of day Ihe Tndians
appeared at the traders' camp and demand
ed the woman. They were assured she
was not present, neither did they know
where she was. It wis not until the sava
ges made a 6trict search of the wagons
that they were convinced they were on the
wrong rail ; but their disappointment was
so great that they made an attack upon the
traders. A smart fight revealed to them
that they would have to obtain reinforce
ments if they desired to capture the train,
so they withdrew and left the traders in
peace.
After two days' hard riding, Mr. Ran
dolph and the woman reached a post of
dragoon soldiers, and were given an es
cort, who saw them safely to Fort Lea vent
worth. The following is the story the
poor woman told Mr. Randolph :
"I was born tf respectable parents, my
father being a farmer in Western Missouri.
I was married at an early age, and, after
the birth of a daughter, my husband start
ed to go to Independance for the purpose
of entering into business, taking the child
and myself with him. And after traveling
some days we entered a great forest, and,
before we were aware of it, we found our
selves surrounded by a djzeri Indians, who
had crossed the line on a stealing expedi
tion. They shot my husband before my
eyes, and were going to kill my babe,
when I begged for its life. One of the
savages, who seemed to have some author-.
ity, prevented my child beiog murdered,
but refused to let. me have it, aud it was
left upon the ground to die, while they
harried away, bearing me off a captive.
The sufferings I have endured I would not
relate if I could. I was often tempted to
destroy myself, but the thought of regain
ing my freedom, and the hope that my

Such, in brief, was the history civen br
the woman, whose name was Baker.

interest to her narrative, and when she

"I shall never forget it while I live," she
contiuued. "Life has been a burden to me

since."
Mr. Randolph was satisfied that the
mother of his adopted daughter was before
him.
With some little circumlocution he gave
an account of bis adventure in the forest,
and stated the manner in which the infant
be found was dressed

to replace it. Experiments proved that
the iron work expanded a small fraction of
an inch to every degree of heat received.
It was noticed that the night and day tem
peraturo'diffeied by about 23 .decrees, and
it was thought this might be made to move
the bridge. In the morning one end ofthe
piece was bolted down securely and the
other end left free. In the heat of the sun
the iron expanded, and towards night the
free end was loosened. The contraction
then dragged the whole mass the other
way. for two days this experiment was
repeated, and the desired place reached.
The contraction and expansion of iron bars
hy fire heat has frequently been vised to
move heavy weights over short distances.
Broken walls and strained roofs and arch
es have been brought into place by simply
heating iron rods till they expand, then
taking in the slack by screws and nuts
and allowing contraction by cold to pull
the wall or roof into place.

In the centre of the yard a dry gotKls

and fright. Down behind the current
bushes were two ofthe neighboring boys,
skulking around with painted faces, cliicken
feathers in their hair, and bows in their
hands. while her hopeful son had on his
father's moccasin slippers, his cap turned
wrong side out upon his head, and an old
army gun in his hand. He was creeping
along with evident murderous intent to
ward the roosters behind the bushes.
"What on earth is the matter ?" cried
the alarmed lady.
"Sh ! sh !" said her hopeful, "don't you

Laying down his pen, the young man
came up the luug, winding stairs, aud ap

01 iue crew, pale and wan, a livid ghost
standing among the living.

This prisoner, just brought upon deck,
and the irons taken from his wrists, looked
nearly as pale and deathly as the young
yeoman from the depths of tho frigate.
Though he betrayed his feelings in no other
manner, he carried his head erect, Lit, step
was firm, and his well opened eyes were
fixed upon the gratings the worming, the
sheathed cat-o-nine-tails, and all the pre
parations for torture, without quailing, ir
not with calm indifference. He was a tall
fine looking man, between thirty and forty
years of age, who, it was easy to perceive,
only required that the rust and tarpaulin
gear of a seaman should be removed from
his person, to enable him to compete, in
outward appearance, with any officer on
board the ship.
But all that availed him nothing. While
under tho influence of auguadente the li
quor of the country he had met the com
modore 011 Uie beach, near Calao, and he
had said some things which gave great of
fense to that gentleman.
He was ordered on board immediately,
and he came off to tbe ship in the same boat
with the commodore. When they got on
board the crew were electrified by the vio
lent manner of the commodore, calling for
the master-at-arms, aud ordering that
Lewis should be put in double irons r.itd
confined iu the brig. The offender, who
was by this time partly sobered, took off
bis hat and tried to apologize; but the
commodore would hear nothing. Waiving
him aside, the latter cried in the most
wrat hful tones : "Get out of my sight, you
scoundrel ; I'll have you tried by a court
martial 1"
Every one present knew what that meant.
Trial by court-martial meant conviction
and terrible punishment. No common
saiior ever passed through the ordeal of a
court-martial unscathed. The trial was a
mere form; it meant that tho commodore
intended to punish Lewis for insulting him,
and Lewis knew that perfectly well.
Still every sailor about to be tried made
bis defense. He employed somebody to
write it for him, and that defense was al
ways ready at the trial. On the present
occasion, writing a defense was somewhat
delicate, if not a perilous matter. For the
commodore himself was the aggrieved par
ty, and the commodore was no lawyer.
Vested with absolute authority in the
squadron, he was not prepared to recog
nize the fact that the n ai who had insult
ed him was entitled to as impartial atrial
as if he had only insulted or otherwise in
jured the black cook.
It so happened also that the young sea
man whom Lewis engaged to write his de
fense had fallen under the eye of the Uni
ted States Consul at Valparaiso ; and when
LI v. nv I 1 rvt. j blllll bllC
! consul had warned the commodore that 1 he
i 1 . - r r 1 1 . 1
he entered the service at that port the
en nam ui me biiiii iiuiu vtniuii me vouhit
1 , 1 , , , , .
man nau oeeu tiisciiaigeo naa strongly
suspected him of mutinous designs.
"Im not afraid that he'll create a mutiny
in my ship," replied the commodore.
With such a prestige as this the young
writer of defenses bad come on board our
frigate.
Such as it was Lewis' defense was read
at the time. It took the. ground that, at
the time the offense was given, Lewis was
ashore on liberty, and that during the
1 ..
forty-eight hours accorded him he did not
than t,,e President of Peru himself. If,
therefore, Lewis insulted the commodore
during those forty-tight hours, it was not
as one of the crew of the frigate, but as a
nrivatc citizen of Callao.

recognized no such difference, and the

fense went on to say, the offense of which
Lewis had been gnilty was precisely the

mates on shore, common sailor like himself.

The sentence of the court-martial was
read : "one hundred and fifty lashes."
Not only the crew looked in each other'
fCSj junior officers gave a start
of surprise. The Doctor looked mcanintrl v
at the surgeon. It was evident that he
thought their services might be required
before this terrible inflict iou was completed.
The commodore spoke: "Befoi the
boatswain' senates commence their duty,"
said he, "I wish to say a woul to those who
write defenses for men on trial. Iu future,
they will be held accountable for the senti
ments they express in making up those
defenses. Let this be a warning to them."
By this time Barrett, the chief boat
swaiu's mate, had drawn his scourge from
his sheath, and was engaged in disentang
ling its tail. Every eye was fixed 01; 'lie
Sfiiooth white back of the prisoner, so soou
to be one mass of mangled, bleeding flesl:.
"Go on, boatswain's mate !" said ILa
captain.
Barret drew back his scourge and was
about to strike the first blow when the
captain, glancing toward the gangway, ou
the other side of the rugate, motioned to
the petty officer, and he dropped his arm,
looking surprised at the uuwouted inter
ruption. A midshipman stepped across the deck,
and the crew then rceived the cause of
this stay iu the proceedings.
A cholar of ordinary appearance had
come alongside in his canoe and mounted
the deck. As it was ccntimv i
1 - " j w auk i
, administer punishment in the presence of
j outsiders, the midshipman, in no pleasant
tone, oidered the intruder to make himself
scarce.
For answer the cholar fumbled in the
folds of his dress, and soon drew out a Set
ter which he handed to the midshipman.
The latter looked at the back ofthe Utter,
and saw that it was directed to the com
modore. It was, of course, given to him
at once.
The comm:dore broke the seal rather
impatiently, and commenced reading. He
had not read far before he looked up at the
prisoner. He read on. He started visibly,
and his features betrayed the utmost as
tonishment. Every one looked at the commodoic,
wondering at his agitation, and trying to
surmise what that lcl tor contained that the
commodore appeared ko deeply interested
in it.
Having finished i ending the letter, the
commodore said soinctiiing to the captain,
who gave a start of surprise, and ordered
Lewis to be released immediately.
As soon as Lewis had put on his shirt
and jacket, the captain took him into the
cabin, the commodore soon following after.
Of course the officers left uiou deck were
bursting with curiosity, and they were ob
served to talk earnestly among themselves.
After wailing an hour for further
developments, the crew saw somebody
emerge from the cabin in the dress of a
gentleman and as he passed over the side
with the captain and took his place in the
gig with the latter, it was thought that his
features very neatly resembled those of tho
culprit so recently stittchid out at tho
gangway with a fair prorated of being cut
nearly in two by the cat-o'-nine-tails. But
secrets come out at last on board ship.
The letter so opportunely received by the
commoduie was from a distinguished law
yer in London, n rming tho recipient
that George Lewis was hen to the title and
estates of an English lord his elder broth
er having cicd recently and that he was
legally entitled toau income or 10,000 per
annum.
But here arose a question with the cH,
alious commodore or the U. S. squadr. ..
If he had been insulted by a gentleman r
stead of a common sailor, and, there'
could not administer corporal puuishmc: :,
was it not necessary to the preservation oi
his honor to seek satisfaction iu some other
way according to the code, in Tact.
This subject was discussed very earnest
ly by the principal officers of the frigate.
and it might have led to something serious
, o n -.....
bad not the young fellow who w rote Lewtb's
defense written out his opinion on the
subject and sent it to the fiit lieutenant,
who showed it to the commodore himself.
He took the ground that as Lewis was a
common sailor, subject to maili.il law, aud
was uuder tho orders of the ctimuNloie,
when the offense was given, it was only an
insult fiom a common sailor, aud such it
would still have been though the sailer
were the Prince of Wales himself. And as
