AN
OLD GOVERNESS'S TALE
FOLJiDED CN FACT.
by iris-i jin.iK K.
I ni-vf r take Ion? in dressing,

and
per

might yet have to rui'lVr in the world.
1 believe I have rather a light step; at
all events I was om e told so. 'ertainly
1 did not intend to come into the parlor
stealthily or prvinglv; in fact, I never
thought of its occupants at all. On en
tering, what was mv amazement to see
standing at the window Lieutenant
Augustus and my Zillah! He was em
bracing in plain English, kissing her.
-Now, I am no prude in such things;
I have oftentimes known a harmless
father-like or brother-like embrace be
tween two. who, quite certain of each
other's feelings, gave and received the
same in all frank affection and simplic
ity. Hut generally I am very particular;
more so than most women. I often
used to think that, were I a man, I
would wi-.h. in the swpi t day of mv be
trothal, to know for certain that mine
was the first lover's kiss ever pressed
on the dear lips which I then sealed as
whi Mv my own!
Hut in this case, at one glance, even
if I had not caught the sillv phrase,
"My angel!" the same I heard in the
wood (ah. that wood! j I or anv one
would have detected the truth. It came
upon Me like a thunderbolt; but know
iti:' Zillah'.i disposition. I had just wit
eie .ugh to glide back unseen, and re-enter.
ta,king loudly at the door. I'pon
which I found t he lieutenant tapping
his boots carelessly, and ZiH.ih shrink
ing into a corner like a frightened hare.
He went off verv soon he said, to an
engagement at H.-liast. and we started
for our rtouble. I noticed that Zillah
walked alongside of Caroline, as if she
could not approach or look at me.
I know not whether I was most
shocked at my poor girl, or puzzled to
think what "possible attraction this
young man could find in such a mere
chilrt so plain and nw kward-loooking
too. That he could be "in love" with
her, even in the lowest sense of that
phrase, seemed all but an impossibility,
and if not in love, what possible pur
pose coul I he have in wooing or want
ing to marry her? for I was simjilp
enough to suppose that all wo'.ing must
necessarily be in earnest.
Half-bewildered with conjectures,
fears and doubts as to w hat course 1
must pursue, did I walk on beside Ma
tii.i.i. who. haing quarreled with her
sisler. kept ( lose to me. She went chat
tel i-.g on about some misdoings of Car
oline. At 1 .si ;ny attention was caught
bv hearing Zillah's name.

in.iii-imif-ly.
I lia.n!:y "knew wiu tlifT I was ri;Lt or

"I yon know," she added in a sly
whisper, "Carry says we shall all he

luiin l it out. and told it to brother Au
gustus and to r.io."
"Told what?'' said I. forgetful that I
Mas prying into a family secret, and
st mig into curiosity by the mention of
An Justus.
" That Zillah will then be very rich,
as her fat her left her all he had; a:id
uncle Henry was a trreat nabob, because
he marri-d an Indian princess and got
all her money. Now. you see,"' she con
tinued with a cunning smile, shocking
on that young fare, "we must be very
civil to "Zillah, and or" course she will
give us all her money. Eh, you under
stand?"' I stood atrhast. In a moment all
came clear upon me; the secret of Mr.
Sutherland's guardianship of his letter
to me intercepted of the money lately
sent of Mr. I.e I'oer's anxiety concern
ing his niece's life, and his desire to
keep her hidden from the world, lest
she might come to a knowledge of her
position. The whole was a tissue of
crimes. And. deepest crime of all! I
now guessed why Lieutenant Augustus
wished, unknown to his father, to en
trap her still childish affections, marry
her, and secure all to himself.
I never knew much of the world and
its wickedness; I believed all men were
like my father or Mr. Sutherland. This
discovery for the time quite dizzied my
faculties. I have not the slightest rec
ollection of anything more that passed
on that sea-side walk, except that, com
ing in at the door of the cottage, I
beard Zillah say in anxious tones,
"What ails Miss'Pryor, I wonder?" I
had wisdom enough to answer, "Noth
ing, my dears!"' and sent them all to
bed.
"Shall you be long after us?" asked
Zillah, who, as I aid, was my chamber
companion. "An hour or two," I replied, turning
away.
I went and sat alone in the little, par
lor, trying to collect my thoughts. To
anv governess the discovery of a clan
dtstine and unworthy love-affair among
her pupils would be inost painful, but
niv discoveries were all horror together.
'Ihe more I thought it over, the more
my agnized pity for Zillah overcame
mv grief for herdeceitfulness. Love is
alwavs so weak, and girlish love at fif
teen such a fascinating dream. AVhat
ever I thought of the lieutenant, be was
verv attractive to most people, lie was,
besides, the first young man Zillah had
ever made acquaintance with, and the
first human being except myself who
had treated her with kindness. Hut
w hat opportunities could they have had
to become lovers? I recollected Zillah's
wanderings, evening after evening, in
the grounds of the deserted estate. She
must have met him there. Poor girl!
I could well imagine what it must be to
bo wooed under the glamour of summer
twilight and lieautiful solitude. Xo
wonder Zillah's heart was stolen away!
Thinking of this now. 1 feel I am
w rong in saying "heart"" of what at best
could have been mere "fancy."' Wom
en's natures are different; but some
women have been gravely, mournfully,
fatally in earnest, even at sixteen.
However, in earnest or not. she must
be snatched from this marriage at all
risks. There could be no doubt of that.
Hut to whom should I apply for aid?
Not to Mr. IjC Poer certainly. The
poor orphan seemed treniblinar between
the grasp of either villain, father and

EBENSBUIIG, PA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, ISS5.
determined to write and explain all to
Mr. Sutherland.
How well I remember that hour! The
little parlor quite still and quiet, except
for the taint sound of the waves rolling
in; for it was rather a wild night, and
our small one-storied cottage stood by
itself in a solitary part of the beach.
IIow well I reniemiier niysidt! sitting
with the pen in my hand, uncertain
how to begin: for I felt awkward, nev
er having written to him since I was a
child.
At first I almost forgot what I had to
write about. While musing, I was
startled by a noise like the opening of
a Window. Now, as I explained, our
house w as all one flat, and we could
easily step from any window to the
beach. In considerable alarm I hurried
into Ziilah's ikiii. There, bv the dim
nigiit-ligiit. I s,:w her
bed wa.-j empty.
She had apparently dressed herself for
I saw none of her clothes and crept out
at the w indow. Terrified inexpressibly,
I was about, to follow her. when I saw
the flutter of a shawl outside, and heard
her voice speaking.
"Xo, cousin no, dear cousin! Don't
ask me. I can't go away with von to
night. It would be very wrong when
Miss Pryor knows nothing about it. If
she had found us out or threatened, and
we were obliged to run away " (Im
mediately I saw that, w ith a girl of Zil
lah's tierce obstinacy, discovery would
lie most dangerous. I put out the light
and kept quite still).
"I can't, indeed I can't,"' pursued Zil
lah's voice, in answer to some urging
wh'eh was inaudible; adding, with a
childish laugh. "Y'ou know. Cousin Au
gustus, it would never do for me to go
and be married in a cotton dressing
gown; and Miss Pryor keeps all niv best
clothes. Dear Miss Pryor! I would
much rather have told her, only you say
she would be so much the more sur
prised and pleased when I came back
married. And you are quite sure that
she shall always live with us, and never
leiuiii in x oi lvsni re again .
Her words, so childish, so unconscious
of t lie wrong she was doing, perfectly
startled me. All mv romantic notions
ot girlish passion following its own wild
will were put to flight. Here was a
mere child led away bv the dazzle of a
new toy to the bunk of a preciriice
Mie evidently knew no more of love and
marriage than a baby!
For a little time longer, the wicked
lover I cannot call him suitor, urged
his suit, playing with her simplicity in
a manner that he must inwardly have
laughed at ail the time. He lured her
to matrimony by puerile pet names
such as "My angel" by idle rhapsodies
and promises of line houses and
clothes.
"I don't mind these things at all "
said poor Zillah, innocently; "I would
not go with you, onlv von av that when
I am married I shall have 'notion" to
lo and you will n.-ver sc old rue, ami I
shall have Miss Pryor alwavs near rne.
Promise!"
Here was a pause, ,,til the child's
simple voice was heard again: "I don't
like that, cousin. I won't kiss you
agam. Miss Pryor once said we ought
never to kiss anybody unless wo love
them very m'ucii.""
"And don't you love me. mv adorable
creature?"
"I I'm not quite sure; sometimes I
love you and sometimes not; but I sup
pose I shall always when we are mar
ried." "That blissful dav must be verv
foon,"' said the lieutenant; and 'I
thought I heard him trying to suppress
a yawn. "L-t us settle it at once mv
dear, for it grows lato. If vou will not
come to-night, let nns have" the happi
ness, the en tiro felicity, of fetching you
to-niorrow."
"Xo, no," Zillah answered; "Miss
Pryor w ill want me to help her to pack.
W e leave this day week: let me si ay till
the night before, then come for me,'smd
I 11 have my best frock on. ami we can
be married in time to meet them all be
fore the boat sails the next day."
In other circumstances I should have
smiled at this child's idea of marriage
but now the crisis was far too real and
awful: and the more her ignorance
lightened her ow n error, the more it in
creased the crime of that bad man who
was about to ruin her peace forever.
A little he tried to reverse her plan
and make the marriage earlier, but Zd
Iah was too steady. In the obstinacy
of her character in the little influence
which, lover as he was. he seemed to
have over her I found her safeguard
past and present. It would just"allov
me to save her in the only w ay she
could be saved.
I listened till I heard her sav good
live to her cousin, creep back into the
dark room through the open window,
and fasten it securely as before. Then
I stole away to the parlor, and support
ed by the strong excitement of the mo
ment, wrote my letter to Mr. Suther
land. There would be in the six davs just
time for the arrival of an answer, fir
himself. I hft everything to him,
merely stating the facts, knowing he,
would do right. At midnight I went to
bed. Zillah was fast asleep. As I lay
awake, hour after lronr. I thanked
Heaven that the poor child, deluded as
she has been, knew nothing of what
love w as in its reality. She was at least
spared that sorrow. ;
During all the week I contrived to
keep Zillah as near me as was possible,
consistent with the necessity of not
awaking hrr suspicions. This was the
more practicable, as she seemed to
cling to me with an unwonted and even
painful tenderness. The other girls
crumbled sadly at our departure; but
luckily all had been definitely ar
ranged by their father, who had" even,
strange to say, given me money for the
journey. He bad likewise gracefully
apologized for being ! Mged to let us
women-kind travel alone, a..: he had
himself some business engagem nts,
while his son had lately rejoined n"
regiment. I really think the deceiving
and deceived father fully credited the
latter fact. Certainly they were a
worthy pair!
I made all my plans secure, and
screwed up my courage as well as I
could; but I own on the evening previ
ous to our journey the evening which,
from several attesting proofs, I knew
was still fixed for the elopement I be
gan to feel a good deal alarmed. Of
Air. Sutherland there was notidings. At
twilight I saw plainly that the sole
hope must lie in my own presence of
mind, my influence over Zillah, and my
appeal to her sense of honor and affec
tion. I sent the children early to led,
saying I had letters to write, and pre
pared myself for whatever was to bap
Ien. Xow many may think me foolish,
and at times I thought myself so like
wise, for not going to Zillah and telling
her all I had discovered; but I knew
her character better than that. The
idea of being betrayed, waylaid, con
trolled, would drive her fierce Eastern
nature into the very commission of the
madness she contemplated. In every
thing I must trust to the impulse of the
moment and to the result of her sud
denly discovering her own position and
the villainous plans laid against hr.
Xever in my life do I remember a
mcire anxious hour than that I spent
sitting in the dark by the parlor win
dow; whence, myself unseen. I could
see all that passed without the house;
for it was a lovely night, the moon
high up over the Lough, and making
visible the Antrim hills. I think in all
momenta of great peril one grows quiet:
MAKES FREE. AND ALL ARE SLAVES BESIDE.'
so did I.
At eleven there was a sound of w heels
on the beach, and the shadow of a man
passed the window. I looked out. It
was the most unromantic and common
place elopement with an heiress; he
was merely going to take her away on
an outside car. There was no one with
him but the carman, who was left
whistling contentedly on the shore.
The moment had come; with the en
ergy of desperation. I put off the shawl
in which J had wrapped myself in case
I had to follow the child", for follow
her I had determined to do, were it
necessary. (Quietly, and with as ordi
nary a manner as I could assume. I
walked into Zillah's room.
She was just stepping from the win
dow on to the beach. She had on her
best frock and shawl, poor innocent!
with her favorite white bonnet, that I
had lately trimmed for her, carefully
tied up in a kerchief.
1 touched her shoulder. "Zillah,
where are you going?"
She started and screamed.
"Tell me; I must know!"' I repeated,
holding her fast by the arm. while Au
gustus rather roughly pulled her by the
other.
"Cousin, you hurt me!" she cried,
and instinctiyely drew back. Then for
the first time the lieutenant saw me.
I have often noticed that cunning and
deceitful people small villains, not
great ones are always cowards. Mr.
Augustus drew back as if he had been
shot. I took no notice of him, but still
appealed to Zillah.
"Tell me, my child, the plain truth,
as you always do where were you go
ing?"" She stammered out: "I was going
to to P.elfast to bo married."
"Married to your cousin?"
She hung her head and murmured:
Yes."
At this frank confession the bride
groom interposed. He perhaps was all
the braver for reflecting that he had
only women to deal with. lie leaped
in at the chamber-window, and angrily
asked me by what right I interfered.
"I will tell yon," said I, "if you have
enough gentlemanly feeling to'leave my
apartment, and will speak with me in
the open air."
lie retreated, I bolted the window,
and still keeping a firm hold on the
trembling girl, met him outside the
front door. It certainly was the oddest
place for such a scene; but I did not
wish to admit him inside the house.
"Xow. Miss Pryor," said he impera
tively, but still politely a Lp Poer could
not lie otherwise "will you be so kind
as to relinquish that young lady, who
has confided herself to'my care, and in
tends honoring me with her hand?"
"Is that true, Zil'ah? Do you love
this man, and voluntarily intend to
marry him?"
"Yes. if you will let me. Miss Pryor.
He told me you would be so pleased.
He promises always to be kind to me,
and never let me" work. Piease don't
be angry with me, dear Miss Pryor!
Oh, do let rne marry my cousin!"
"Listen to me a few minutes. Zillah."
said I. "and you shall choose." And
then I told her in as few words as I
could, what her position was how that
it had L-een concealed from her that she
was an heiress, and how bv ni?T,':'"'
her, her cousin Augustus wv
master over all her wealth,
worldly was she. that I
think theV5-
herself hardly understood me; but ty.e
lieutenant was furious.
"It is all a lie an infamous cheat!"
he cried. "Don't believe it. Zillah!
Don't lo frightened, little fool! I
promised to marry you, and, by Heav
en! marry you I will!"
"Lieutenant Le Poer," said I very
quietly, "that may not be quite so easy
as you think. However, I do not pre
vent you, as indeed I have no right; I
only ask my dear child Zillah here to
grant me one favor, as for the sake of
my love to her"' (here Zillah sobbed)
"I doubt not she will: namely, that she
should do as every other young woman
of common sense and delicacy would
do, and wait until to-morrow, to ask
the consent of one who will then prob
ably be here, if he is not already ar
rivedher guardian, Mr. Andrew Suth
erland."' Lieutenant Augustus burst out with
an oath, probably very mild in the
mess-room, but very shocking here to
two women's ears. Zillah crept farther
from him and nearer to me.
"I'll not be cheated so!" stormed lie.
"Come, child, you'll trust your cousin?
You'll come away to-night?" and he
tried to lift her on the car, which had
approached the Irish driver evidently
much enjoying the scene.
"Xo, cousin; not to-night," said the
girl, resisting. "I'd rather wait and
have Miss Pryor with me, anil proper
bridemaids. and a wedding-dress, and
all that that is, if I marry you at all,
which I wont unless Missl'ryor thinks
yon w ill be kind to rne. So good-bye
till to-morrow, cousin."
He was so enraged by this time that
he tried forcibly to drag her on the car.
Hut I wound my arms round my dear
child's waist and shrieked for help.
"Faith, sir." said the sturdy Irish
man, interfering, half in amusement,
half in indignation, "ye'd betther lave
the women alone. I'd rather not med
dle with an abduction."
So Zillah was set free from the lieu
tenant's grasp, for, as I said before, a
scoundrel is often a great coward. I
drew the trembling and terrified girl
into the house he following with a
storm of oaths and threaten ings. At
last I forcibly shut the door upon him,
and bolted him out. Whether this in
dignity was too much for the valorous
soldier, or whether he felt sure that all
chance was over, I know not; but when
I looked out ten minutes after the coast
was clear. I took my erring, wronged,
yet still more wronged than erring
child into my bosom, and thanked
Heaven she was saved.
The next morning Mr. Sutherland ar
rived. .'ter this night's events I have little
to s;t , or rather I .refer to say but lit
tle, of what passed during the remain
der of th;.. "ummor. We all traveled
to Engiainf" her. going round by
Yorkshire in oi.. r to leave Mr. Le
Poer's daughters s their own home.
This was Mr. SutluV. id's kind plan,
that the two girls might lit. .'rcpt in ig
norance of the w hole affair, a. ' espec
ially of their father's ill-deeds. . W hat
they suspected I know not; they -,-ere
merely told that it was the desire of
Zillah's guardian to take her and het
governess home with him.
So we parted at Halifax and I never
eaw any of the fnmily again. I had no
scruples about thus (putting them. a I
found out from Mr. Siberian,! t J
had been engaged solely m governess
to his war 1, a.id that he? had himself
paid my salary in advance: the whole
of whic.1i, in some w ay or other had
been intercepted by Mr. Le Poer. The
money of course w as gone; but he had
written to nie with each remittance,
and thus I had lost his letters. That
was hard!
. I also.foirud out, with great joy and
comfort, that' my Zillah was truly Zil
lah Le Poer her father's legitimate
daughter and heiress. All I had been
led to lielieve was a cruel and wicked
lie. The whole history of her father
and mother was one of these family
tragedies, only too frequent, which, the
actors in them being dead, are best for
gotten. I shall not revive the tale.
In late autumn Mr. Sutherland sailed
for India. He-fore he quitted England
he made me sole guardian in his stead
over Zillah Le Poer, assiguing for her a
SI.50 and
handsome maintenance. He said he
hoped we should all live happily togeth
er she, my mother and I until he
came back. He spent a short time with
us all at his country seat a time
w hich, looking back upon, seems in its
eight davs like eight separate years.
I ought to speak of Zillah, the un
moved center of so many convolving
fates. She remained still and silent as
ever dull, grieved, humiliated. I told
her gradually and gently the whole
truth, and explained from how much
she had been saved. She seemed grate
ful and penitent- it was clear that her
heart had never been touched by love;
she was yet a mere child. The only
evidence of womanly shame she gave
was in keeping entirely emt of her
guardian's way; nor did betake much
notice of her except in reproaching him
self to me with being neglectful of his
charge; but he had so thoroughly trust
ed in the girl's uncle as being her best
protector.
The only remark he ever made on Zil
lah's personal self was that she had
beautiful eyes, adding, with a half sigh,
"that he liked dark Oriental eyes."
One day his mother told me something
w hich explained this. She said he had
been engaged to a young lady in India,
who on the eve of their marriage had
died. He had never cared much for
woman's society since, and his mother
thought would probably never ruarrv.
After his departure I learned the whole
story. My heart bled over every pang
he had suffered; he was so good and
noble a man. And w hen I knew about
his indifference to all women, I felt the
more grateful for the trust he showed
in me. by making me Zillah's guard
ian in his absence, and wishing rne to
write to him regularly of her welfare.
The lust words he said were asking me
to go ainl see his mother eften: and
then he bade God bless rne, and called
me "his dear friend." He was very
kind always!
We had a quiet winter, for my health
was not good I being often delicate in
winter time. My mother and Zillah
took care of me, and I was very grate
ful for their love. I got well at last as
the springtime advanced, and went on
in my old ways.
There are sometimes long pauses in
one's life deep rests or sleeps of years
in which month after month and season
after season, lloat on each the same;
during w hich the soul lies either quiet
or torpid, as may be. Thus, without
any trouble, joy or change, we lived for
several years my mother, Zillah Le-l'oe-r
and I. One morning I found,
with a curious surprise, but without
any of" the horror which most women
are supposed to feel at that fact, that I
was thirty years old!
We discovered by the same reckoning
that Zillah was just nineteen. 1 re
member she put her laughing face be
side mine in the glass. There was a
great difference truly. I do not mean
the difference in her from me. for I
never compared that, but in her former
self. She had grown up into a woman,
and, as that glass told me. and my own
eyes told me. a very striking woman
too. I was little of a judge in beauty
myself; still I knew well that every
body we met thought her handsome.
Likewis-', she had Ki'own up beautiful
in mind as well as in body. I was very
proud of my dear child.
Tiernber this day, when she
: thirty. I remem
'ud friend in
Hi'liiiiiiiHi'M. tcc.-., "-ise, and
suit us each a magnificent Sin..;!- far
too magnificent it was for a little bonv
like me, but it became Zillah splendid
ly. She tucked me under her arm as if
Iliad liecn a little girl, and walked me
up ami tlown the room; for she w as of a
cheerful, gay temper now just the one
to make an old heart young again, to
flash upon a worn spirit with the
brightness of its own long-past morn
ing. I recollect thinking thus at the time
I wish I had thought so oltener! Hut
it matters little; I only chronicle this
day, as being the first when Zillah un
consciously put herself on a level with
me, becomiiigtheiieeforward a woman,
and my equal no longer a mere, pet
and a child.
About this time I may as well just
state the fact to comfort "other maidens
of thirty years' standing I received an
offer of marriage, the first I had ever
had. He who asked me was a gentle
man of my own age, an old acquaint
ance, though never a very intimate
friend. I examined myself well, with
great humility and regret, for he was
an excellent man; hut I found 1 could
not marry him. It was very strange
that he should ask me, I thought. My
mother, proud and pleased first, be
cause I had the honor of a proposal:
secondly, that it was refused, and she
kept her child still would have it that
the circumstance was not strange at all.
She said many women were handsomer
and more attractive at thirty than they
had ever been in their lives. My poof,
fond, deluded and deluding mother, in
whose sight even I was fair! That
night I was foolish enough to look long
into the glass, at my quiet little face,
and my pale, gray-blue eyes not tlark
like Zillah's foolish enough to count
narrowly the white threads that were
coming one by one into my hair. This
trouble I mean the offer of marriage
I did not quite get over for many
weeks, even months.
The following year of my life there
befell me a great "pang. f this, a CTief
never to tie forgotten, a loss never to
be restored I cannot even now say
more than is implied in three words
my mother died! After that Zillah and
I lived together alone for twelve
months or more.
There are some scenes In our life
landscape scenes I mean that we re
member very clearly; one strikes mo
now. A quiet, soft "May day; the hedg
es just in their first green, the horse
chestnuts white with flowers; the long,
silent country lanes swept through by a
traveling carriage, in which two wom
en, equally silent, sat Zillah Le Poer
and 1.
It was the month before her coming
of age, and she was going to meet her
guardian, who had just returned from
India.
Mrs. Sutherland had received a letter
from Southampton, and immediately
sent for us into the country to meet her
son. In r "beloved Andrew ." I merely
repeat the words as I remeinle-r Zillah's
doing, while she laughed at the ugly
name. 1 never thought it ugly.
When we had really started, how ever,
Zillah ceased laughing, and lecanie
rrave, probably at the recollection of
lat humiliating circumstance which
firi t brought her acquainted with her
gua -dian.- Hut despite this ill-omened
beginning, her youth had blossomed in
to great perfection. As she sat there
before mi, fair in person, well cultured
in mind, and pure and virgin in heart

SONG OF THE CHILDREN.

In the .tladdlng Crowd.
Nw York H.-raJl.
A few steps from the corner of Broad
way in Ann street there frequently arises
above the rumble ot wheels and the tramp
of feet the son of children :
Kliitf William was Kinn Jinuei' sua.
And tiiw.n a royal race he run :
I'pon his breast he wore n star.
Which was called the life of war.
Go choose your eat. go choose your west,
Oo choose the nn that you love best.
And if lie not there go take her part.
And choos the next one to your heart:
Then embrace your bride and kis. her sweet
l'.ise and stand uion your feet.
King William was. etc., etc.
When people hear It they Instinctively
stop and listen. He they ever bo busy,
they can spare a fevc seconds to hear thasn
words, w hich recall to them, crea In that
dingy, bustlintt highway, juvenile days
when their own hands clasped sweet
heart's palms, and their own young feet
kept time to tha same jingling rhyme,
and sweetest of all when their own
childish lips touched those of the dearest
girl on the block. The singers on Ann
street are not of the same class as were
those playmates they remember, but the
soni? is the same, and It's the song that
awakens the memory. Theso singers are
rasped, ami, it must be confessed, rnud
bespattered news ffirls. There are no boys
In the ring they would scorn such pas
time. Ulithely ran the Bong, "King William,
was Kin -Tames' son," the other day.
Several brokers who can count their mil
lions crossed from the Astor lIoue on
their way lunchirg, and, stopping,
smiled, as they wouldn't have missed
that iht and that song for a thousand
big cold dollars. John T. Raymond, the
comedian, who was passing, stopped, and,
leaning against the telegraph pole,
watched the little rinij with a pleased but
dreamy look that might have come awy
back from the pavements of B'iflnio forty
odd years ago. His hand went to his
troupers pocket and seemed about to
couio out with a handful of something,
but he didn't interrupt the songr, A heavy
waion turned the corner, and, forging
past, two others, ran close to the sidewalk.
There was a shriek of pain, then others
of horror. Men crowded around the spot,
and a centleman In a Prince Albert coat
tore off his kid gloves and lifted a llttlo
sufferer from the gutter. Black mud and
dirty water ruined the -o0 diagonal coat,
but he held the little he;cd close to him
for all that. Then a policemen catnej
then there came the rolling sound ot a
press on the opposite aide of the street,
and the little singers ran like mad for the
preenman's counter ; then an ambulance.
Into which the slender little form was
lifted, one arm hanging limp and nsoless,
with the stain of blood upon the dress
sleeve, and then the cro vj rushed away,
the wagons rattled, and the little singers
darted everywhere with the evening
papers.

TOM. EALLARD WOLVES.
The iryt'ild OI,'aprlng of Vliijr Iran
Ago S4U1 Found !n I'etiuf)l
aanla Wmiilt,
A Mif'Ju (Pa.) County correspondent ef
the Chiea.io Hera'. i Writes; Now mi l then
hunters in tbe i onds of this and rt'l'otn
inc counties of Pennsylvania come across
wdd, wolllshlookito; do,rs in isolated
mountain regions, nut the brutes have
always managed to disa; pear so quickly
among the rocks, on l ein discovered,
that none have ever been killed. They
are aupposed, with good reason, to be de
sceudauts of a wolf and a mongrel dog,
which were bred toother in Isx. Wolvea
were beeo?nlmt w nrre in the region sixty
years nc, but a few lingered In the woods,
and were a ore.it nuisance to the farmers,
making frequent raids on their fcheep pas
tures. In le., one wolf in particular mads
great Inroads on the farmers' sheep, and
defied all efforts to capture it. There was
a superstition among the pioneers of ths
region that there were such thlnirs as
"werewolves,"' wolves that bore charmed
lives, and possessed the powor of rooming
about withont leaving any trail by which
they could be followed.
Tom Ballard was a famous hunter of
that day. He was entreated by the fa
mrs who bad bean losers by the raMs ol
the mysterious wolf, to hunt it down tf ths
thing wera possrble, although many be
lieved It was a w ere wolf. Ballard started
out in the sprini of i?3 with !.!s do-s and
gun for the purpose of kUHna ti e wolf.
Ha roamed the wildest parts of the woods
for several days but could find no tr;ice of
the animal. At the end of the lift Ji day
he came to a crevice tn the nk n the
southern e dge of a hill, known as Mount
Plsgah. There was no outward evi lence
that it wae a wolf's den, but be reo!Tei
toentt-r the cave and find out. He crawl
ed In on his hnni and knees nnd found
two wolf whelps a week or two oi l. Ha
wrapped them up in his blanket an4
quickly withdrew from the cave. He did
not meet the oil wolf, and started for
home with the two young ones He
placed them In his wood house. Three
nights later he heard a groat noise In the
yard. Looking ont he shw aa e!d woli
tTylng to get into the wood hnu.. It was
the mother of the whelps. Ball.irl shot
her. She was an unusually large one, and
as no more raids were made on the sheep
pasturesof the region It w as believed that
she was the one that had given tl.eui so
much trouble.
The whelps grew r.p in captivity. They
were both females. In 1 Ballard sold
one of them. The next ye ar the other one
was bred to a numcr-l dog. She gva
birth to a litter of whelps resembling rhelr
mother. After becoming a mother thss
wolf, whk h had never been fierce, changed
to a most ferocious animal, and no one
dared to go near her. Her offsp rings
early developed wild and vicious charao
teristics, and 1t was thought 1 est to kill
the w hole family. ne night before the
decision was carried Into effect the wolf
nnd her half-grown hybrid wheljs took to
the woods. They were followed, and the
mother and one or two of the young ones
were killed. The ethers craped e-n 1
have LreI amon the rocks ever since.
