A curious, sleofy old yllligo U Adling- tune, In tho course of my r.mib'.lugs in tho old disused burial ground I found nn old stone, and on it I rend the words: UAIUiAIU COKIiWALL. Dons 1C20. Dun lflSO. aob CO teari. IawUiIIv executed lor witchcralt. I ii nuired of several pernons ns to the hibtnry of this woman. Finally I fountl an old woman who told me tho story Old Birbara was triod.conrkmued, and l.augtil, protisling Inucceiico to Hie last. The litilcmouty lonnd iu btr possession was used to bny that gravestone; nnd to this day if ouy one v.tre bold etior.gh to go to bcr ijravej.t midnight on the same day of tlio ear on which sho was hanged r.nd tay: 'Ii.irb.iru, I bt-lieve yon were innocent," nt tho same time stretching out a baud over Ibo gravo, sbo would appear to him nnd place iu his hand n talihtnaii. Tbfs inllsman would bring good for- tuno ns long ns ho relaiiied it, but nt some limn iu hit life tho witch would re turn to claim htr own. f found mysill utmost unconsciously wandering back through thenld burial ground to tho witch's grave. Carelessly pj uicing nt tho inscription, I was snr pried lo find that veiy day was the 200th nunivers.iryol her death. The world nni wild nnd weird that night when I stole forlh'frotn tho village. Climbing tho low stone wall, I made my way to that dark, dreary corner where thenld witch reposed. By and lv the village clock tolled 12. Mechanically I strovo to spetl the word I had been told, but my lips refused to form t sdnuU. Still I Mood, iu that auful, black.! Icuce, chilled will, fear, until with n misbty iffort I reached out my arm over the grave atid grasped a hand. It was only for nn instant not Hint, for it was jerked away Ir, n twinkling but long enough to feel how wiirm nud Velvety it wag, nnd bow very small. I cleared tho old wall nt n bound nnd was out on tho moonlit road, walking toward town. The touch of ilioss fingers thrilled mo ns with nn eleclrio shock. Gradual ly tho consciousness forced itself upon me that I held s imetbiug in aiy clenched bauds a ringlet with a flislung stone. On reacbiug my room at the little inn I sat down nud cxamiued tho ring. It was curiously carved and massive. The setting wis composed of severul small colored stones set iu it circle about a largo diamond, the name iuside, "Bar bara." Fortune smiled upon ma from that night. Two years of busy life bad passed nud old Batbara'u tulUuiau vas still un reclaimed, Do you believe In love nt first sight? Well, if the first nppearnnce of Waller man's sister had not conquered mt the touch of hir baud wneu ebe ncl c .rued her brother's friend would huw enal.ived mo forever. Never I nd u touch so thrilled ma since since I Ltdd (be Mitch's haud in the' graveyard. The stnie peculiar shook passed through me and ilie memory of that spectral uighl oame over me liken Huh. The end a,m nbont llirough my risk ing Iheyouug lady if she believed in ghosts, 'I suppose I sbonld," said she, laugh, lug. "ooiiilditiug Uiy" experience." I I implored mi explanation, and the rt- ' Uted the fcIlowloE story: "It was about two years ago when n party of twirls, just homo from eobool, wero vldttltifi n friend down In tho ooun try. Ouo of Ibo glrln had heard n foolish' story about n wilcVa grnvc, nud sotno nousenso nbont her nnnunl nppearntice autl n talisman, nlid when I expressed my Incredulity they braved me to put It to the test. What is tho matter? Tho place? A Hllle town called Adllngtuno. 1 Foolishly I oocepled lh,Ir challenge, nud received a. terrible flight. I carried out tho instructions, and stratched my arm over her grave. It wn so dark I could see nothing, but some one Mclzad my band. 1 win to bonumbed with fear that I could not cry out, but could only fly through the lontly graveyard to where uy trtmblitiR cotupahioiiB were awaiting me In the field. It was a, foolish adven ture, for I felt ill, aud it coat me a valu able ring which waa left me by uiy poor Aunt Uatbara. 'For, her little name- sake,' she s.tld, when she cent It ncrcta Ibo sen to me. Yon ste, tho ring was a little lir;o for my fluger, nud was pulled effby-by " 'By mo," I interrupted, Inking the lost ring from my pocket. It wa time tor Barbara (I forgot lo say lhat was htr nau c) to bo aturlled now, I told my atory, nud. tinaliy, uoi only cUtrcd to return the ring bat lo give myself iulo the bargain. Sho took both. LOTTIE. When Lotlio Gtov, having the oholce hetweeu sleady, seuslble Gbarlis Handel nnd nil erralio brother Jim, choso (he Litter, ra iny poopl e thought sLo uiujt have Inheti leave of her senses, and when, contrary to all prophecies, he Battled down to tho farm nud quito forsook the tavern, tho general nm.uk was that of courso it couldn't List long Lottie seemed hapjvy; children came cud throve, nnd after nwhilslho cooluesi that had existed betweeu the two brothers passed away, nnd the baolielor doctor took the uucla's part iu the little household. When the eldest boy was nearly 10 ye-irs old, and Ihero were two lllllo girls besides of 7 nud 3, ns well as A baby, James Handel ouo morning declared his intoullon of btijiug a certain piece cf ground that adjoined hiu !nrm, the price of l ich was S2.C00. He had tho money in the haul: iu town, and that day be declared ho would draw it and sctlU the nfl'iir. With Ibis iulenlion ho set out on horseback soon niter breakfast. When evening came and the tea, which hnd waited fur him nn hnnr, was over, and tbn sun was setting, Mrs, Handel grew very scjious. When her children wero all asleep she went down into her kitchen, nud sittiug upon the door slll hid her face In her bauds. Suddenly n voice critu in her onr: "Why, Lottie, is anything the mallei?" And, looking up, sho saw her brother- in-law, Charles Il-indel, leaning over the gilo. And to her eyes be looked very pile himself. "Jim id not bomo yet " she said. "It is ns though" she began, nnd stopped. "If ho lay dead in that room thtro I sup pose I should feel just so!' "There's nothing the matter with Jim," siid his brother. "I saw him few bnurs ago. Perhaps, though, it would uot be quite sjfe to-night with so much money nbcut bim. I'll go nud hunt him Up." Then Dr. Ilaudtl went nwny nnd Lot' tie sat down again. When the gray dawu broke bhe sat upon tho threshold still, and knew that her forebodings had been true. Her husband's horse hud been found fastened iu the wood, nnd there wero footsteps on tho soft ground that seemed to indicate n slruggle. No ono doubled that he would bo found murdered in the 'woods near by: hut though saarch was tusne.it was a year before some one, felling trees nt some distauco from tho spot wherd James Handel's horse hsd been tied, found n dead body covered with leaves and quito unrecognizable. Public opiulon, however, decided that it was all llmt remained of James llandtl nud as such it was buried. Lottie wore her widow's cap nnd as sumed n willow's rights over her pioptr ty. Handel hod never ceastd to lovo Lottie, no kuew also what no one eUe kuow that her married life had been ft disjppniulment. Vox, as the yo.tri went by, Charlei began to leel n hepet that Lottie cared something for him n last. She had been n widow ten yearn; surely there was nothing wrong in his telling her his heart nt once. One evening ho went ont to the old farm with a purpose iu his heart. Ho fouud Lotlio alone. The boys and their sister had gone to singing school togeth er, lie told her tbat he loved her uud bad always loTcd her, nnd asked her to be his wife. And, rather by looks than words, he teamed that, however it bad been in the past, her heart was his at last. Th en he sat beside her, and his arm lay about her waist, and her head upon his shoulder. Then came a tapping upon tho window pano. She arose and opened the door, nnd saw the form of a man leaning up against tbo door. She started back with n shriek, for be walked past her iuto tho room, nml she saw that it was her hus band Jim Handel. His hair was iron gray and bis lace was bloated. He stag, gered nud hlspe?ch uas think, but she kuew him, and sa did bis btother Char ls nt once. All he said was ; "Well, hero I am agiiu,'' ' Then he spread himself upon the lounge nod went to sleep. His wife nud brother locked nt him with bUuched. trrrnr-Kltirkeii Inct-s. At lant the woman In rued tovard tbe man. "Guod-by," he said, "find help us both," Afterward, when the boys, nnd girls came home, tbe mother told them tbe etraugnnevn tbat there father bad re turned. A peep at tb face on thslcnDgo did not enosurngo them to hopo much from his return. The next morning Jim Handel was dead. He never told of his adventures. A year niter there was nqniet wedding in the old farm house. Tho patient physician'j loye at last mot with IU re ward. MAN OF AHDNDBED. At twenty-ono I woko one morning and found myself on board n steamer, with $1 in my pocket, on my way lo Vera Cruz to tuka charge of a large gold mine at SO, COO a year. Wneu I got to tho mines they gave me a warm reception, nud I carry the marks of a shot in my eye, in my nose, nnd my bicast, from the mountain bandits. Soon afterward I started with sixteen men nnd some Mexicans to engace in placer mining on Soapberry Creek, in the Apnehu couulry Not n week passed iu which we wero uot attacked by tho mtudcrous redskins, who some times charged up to tho very walls of our bluck-housc. Alter working six months we started for tbo City of Mexico with SiOO.000 In in gold, Just before reaching the plain I saw by ray glass that we were pursued by a largo body of braves, eager for scalps nud plunder. I set my men in defile nnd wnilod. Before long the Apache brayes iu their wnr-goar, np proacued in Indian file. We held our lire until Ihey wero within n hundred feet, and then delivered n :nur1crous volley. At first the lino recoiled llko a wounded suake, but tbe next moment we heard tho ApacLo war-whoop. The braves urged forward their horses with reckless conr.igo, and almost before we could empty our second barrels tho red meals were surging arouud us and thrusting their spears ut us among the rocks. It less time tbnn it takes to tell it, wo hnd each fired a dozen shots or more, and scarce ono missed its aim. Thtro was soon n rampart of redskins. coyered with the crimson dew of battle, lying before ns. As soon as their assault wavered, onr men charged through tbo moke, nnd emptied a score more of saddles. For the first time in my Ufa I saw the Apaches retreat without carryiug off their dead, which is a point nf honor with them. But some of our men, seiz ing the riderless horses, pursued them half n mile or more. I was brought to ft halt by a startling incident. Suddenly ouo of the retreat- lug Indians turned bis horse and rode toward us. I was ou tbe point of shoot ing him when, to my surprise, I saw nn Apache turn und hnrl n tomahawk at tho fugitive. I changed my aim and sent n bullet idIo the second mark. The in serter was soon surrounded by onr men, nud our surprise was redoubled by flnd- iug that osr ciptive was a white womau, and that sho carried ou Ibo saddle before her a child ol 10 years of ago or more. We asked her if Ihero were any other whito prisoners amoug the Indians. She ohook her head, nnd falling on her knees, began pouring forth thanks to the Virgin nnd ourselvas for her deliver nuco. Our prisoner turned out to be lb9 diughter of n Mexican governor, who had been carried oft by tbe Apaches in n famous raid many years before and made tbe wife of cue of their chiefs, who was killed during the fight. But her daugh ter fcr tbo child turned ont to be n girl u hat ft wonderful crefdure she was! Sho might as well be called nature's dar ling, The child of the mountain, the river and tbe desert, she hnd the grace or the floating cloud nnd tbo charm of the fawn disappearing iu the leafy covert. By the way, what n stickler my wife is for faiklon bow eagerly she adopts the lattst ripple in dress or nuunerl This summer, ut S inttogo, Bhe had her hair bleuobed, Well, my wife is no other than this child of nature. THE SCHOOL MASTER MARRIED UC COELE'S SISTER. Knew Dick Mcflorkle! well, I swat! The ornary lillle Thugl Au lie's got n ranch on the Pecos, yo'i say, nn' popu lar among Ibe cowboys. Great Gosh! I knowd iiim when he was a flop-mouthed boy, He was n terror, I tell yon. We was nt school together, me an' him. Popular then? Well, no, not eneugh to spile him. Why, wo boys just despised htm. Wo ustcr.get np iu the night to hate bim. You see it war Ibis way: Tbo school master wanted to marry his sister Dick's slsltr. Dick was rt freckled-faced nnd codfish-eyed ping nn' lie never kuow'd his letsons, hut he wasn't .licked au' thumped, norjimmed up against tbe wall, nor batted on tbe head with n frame of nn old slate. The schoolmaster wanted to marry hU sister "He was let sit with all tbe big girb, an' 'go out' ns often as he wanted to. Tbe little spike-haired cur conld come late and fat nuts and champ apples in school hours without one word of re proof,, nn' when ho spilled ink ou the floor bo didn't git ft belt on the ear with n McGnfY' third reader. Oh, no. The schoolmaster wanted to marry his sister. "How we hated that young hoodluml We tried to lower Urn in tbe master's estimation by putting up jobs on him. Wo were guilly of dead loads of villainy and injustice iu our attempts to make tbe teacher turn on him, but it was nl- ways a cold day ior us, nnd wo never succeeded, fur tbe schoolmaster wanted to marry bis sister. We couldn't see why tbe schoolmaster sbonld take levenge ou our tender hides, aud why we shnuld wear welts nud sears while the Ignorant liondwcript, Mo- Corkle, would put nn airs over us, nu' would wander tinging down the lane with all bis imperfection on his red bead, au' bring back tn thn master the tono.li sapliues tbat were worn ont on tbe jwkets of tin rett of us. He never got a whack. Tho schoolmaster wanted to marry his sister. "I left tho school to help in camp on n cattle round-up, nn' it was about three months before I came back. Tbe first tl iug 1 siw when I got back to school was tbo master wbalin' daylights outcn McCorklo with the cover of nn atlas. When he had used them tip nnd broko the rnlcr, ho spit on bis hands, caught Dick by the ears, and pouuded his head against tbo map nf Asia. Then l o pulled two handfnls of hair out of his bead, nnd sent bim to sit down by the window with tho broken pain whero the snow was coming in. ' 1 could hardly believe ray eyes.
