I scattered some seeds one winter morn A simple handful on top ot tho snow; My heart t its light with a bit of song, And u quiet faith that the seed would grow. The scoffers laughed, as scoffers will O, tliclr breath's more blighting than na ture's cold I They said my sowing would come to naught Ju harvest could spring from a frozen mould. My hope was bright, for I knew beneath Its mantles of snow tho earth was warm. And a yielding soil could catch tho germ Of a future flower and a fragrant form. I waited long, for the season dragged ; But courage nnd sunlight. conquer all, And an April blessing came at last, And showed me a lion er from the rootlet smal'. AndOl the sweetness that filled Its cup. And warm, soft tlntt of Its petals rare!- More precious than any garden held Was this dear reward of my loving care. I nnd my lesson 1 ere: Some hcaits ' Seem barren, nnd frozen, and covered with snow j Drop a seed of love fur the soil beneath; Somo flower may blossom, and thrive, and grow. Jackson of Chicago. I have been employed by the Groat Improvement and Reclaim Company of Mobilo.to explore and map certain lands In Florida lying well down in the edge of Hie great Cypress .Swamp. The company had purchased no.uly 1,000, 0U0 acres of wild land In the location 1 havu mentltmeil, and It was necessary for some one to visit it and walk over inofct of the ground before It could be put In the market as contemplated. I had been on thegtoimd three weeks, having two men with mo when the ad ventuie happened which I am about to relate. One morning .he three of lis left our camp beside one of the lakes of the upper St. John's for a tramp, Intending to return by evening. While I made notes nnd kept the topography, the men noted tho varieties of the wood, nature of tho soil, and other details of interest. On three different occasions we hail en countered whlto men In the dense and lonely forest, and knew from their looks and sunotmdlngs that they were rene gades from civilization. Twice we had stumbled upon the rude camps occupied by negroes and they were a lough look ing lot. Wo bad traveled a distance of perhaps three miles when I was stung on tho back of the right hand by an insect re sembllnsa hornet, although much larg er. In fifteen mlnutesthe pain brought mo to a halt, and tuy baud was swollen like a puff ball. After a consultation, It was decided that I should return to camp, and the men should rmsh on bv compafs and cot cr n certain area, and come In toward night. Before I had covered the distance to camp I was near screaming out with pain, and my arm was puffed up with poison. There was a remedy In the medicine chest, but it was a full hour before the pain was relieved. Then I began to feel sleepy, and I bunked down and waa soon fast asleep. At about noon, after a nap of two hours, I was awakened by the sound f a human voice. "Say, you I" I opened my eyes to dud a white ren egade standing over me, holding one of my revolvers in his hand. "Git UDl'-' 1 sat up. All our goods In camp had been packed up and taken away. The man who confronted me was tha wick edest looking fellow we had seen in the swamps. His hair and whiskers were so long and unkempt that little of his face but his ugly black eyes and yellow teeth could be seen. Ills clothing was part cloth and part skins, and it was plain that he had avoided civilization for years. "Git up and come," he growled. "Who are you and what do you want?" I demanded as I reached my feet. "Walk!" be commanded pointing to the wett. At that moment a third actor appear ed. It was a woman tail, gaunt, ferocious, and dressed In the same non descript costume as the man. She came out of the Jungle lo the west and as soon as near enough to make her words understood, she said: "If be won't move, down blm and tie his hands and feet. We, kin tota two sich as him." She bad the other revolver In 'her band and X noticed that they both had bunting knives. I was unarmed, still wf Horn the effects bt tha poisonous stiog, ina entirely 1a taeif power. Tie woman struck Into the jungle, I fol lowed, and the man brought up the rear. After a walk of about a quarter of a mile wo reached the bank of the lake. Tied to a tree by a rawhide rope was a floating cabin. The foundation was a rough-made scow, and the upper works, as they are termed, consisted of a long, narrow and stoutly made hut of logs. There was a chimney of mud and slicks, from which smoke issued, and two per sons were ou tho bank to receive us. Ono was a boy of twelve or thirteen and "the other a girl two or three years older. Tbev looked more Ilka wild animals than human beings, and tallred .in a language so strange that I could not understand a word. "Go' atiead," said the man, as I. halt' ed on the bank; and I followed the woman aboard of the scow and' Into the cabin. It was a libtiso In which there was but one room, with tho bides of cattle thrown over the wild Southern moss for beds. There was no stove, but a sort of Are place made of stones, with two or three kettles on tha hearth as kitchen furniture. All our camp equipage had .been re moved to the cabin and my Winchester rifle stood In the corner. As this was a new Are ami, I did not believe they knew how to use It, but my revolvers were Colt's old pattern, and loaded with powder aud used percussion caps. "Sot thar," said the woman as she pointed to a corner. I went over and sat down on the bed. It was not the comer where my rifle stood, but it was not more than ten feet away. The woman then, said something to tho children In their own mongrel dialect, and both of them sat down fac ing me, Aud only three or four feet away. Then man and wife cast off the rope, seized long poles, and presently the boat moved slowly down the lake to the north. The lake appeared to be about three miles wide by five long, and was shut In the dense forest. The views I had through the open door and the chinks between the logs showed me that the craft was kept near the shore. While the people seemed In no hurry to get down the lake, they kept the. scow moving at a fair pare until wo we're about three miles from the place where we had embarked. A landing was then made In the mouth of a creek, and tho scow was vtithely hid den from sight of any one on the lake. Hunters aud tourists, and even small pleasure tttciuicrs come up frolm the main river as far as this lake. It was mtd-afleruoou when the boat was made fast. The pain and swelling had now entirely departed frour.,tny hand and arm, and the helpless fueling which had come over mo when first cap tured had given way to a determination to help myself out of the scrape. If I could get hold of my rifle, I would bo a match for the wholn four of them. I counted them as four, because the boy and girl had hunting knives, and would surely take part in any scrimmage brought on. Their looks nnd actions proved this. They maintained their places directly In front of me, and their eyes never left me for a second. They held their knives as If they expected an attempt to escape, and meant to cut autl thrust if I tiled it. While the boat was moving there was no show for me. A score of alligators, some of monstrous size, followed us In procession, and I had but to look upon the lake to realize that It was full of these fierce reptiles. One who jumped or fell overboard would be seized as soon as he struck the water. Not a word was addressed to me un til the boat was tied up. .Then the man came In, took a single-barrelled rifle from tinder the other bed, and after a few hurried words with the woman out side, jumped ashore and disappeared. When he had gone the woman entered, Hunted a pine, sending the boy outside to watcb, she sat down In his place, with the revolver ou her lap. She had a face which betrayed the mind of a beast. " (fell, what are you going to do with me?" I asked after awhile. "Feed you to the alligators," she re plied. "Where has your husband gone?" "To kill the other two men." "What do you want to murder us for? We have in no way Injured you." -A " "We was whipped and druv out of the settlements, and we want revenge," she growled. 1 '! "Hut we had nothing to' do with It," I protested Iu a firm tone. "Can't help that. You caiue poach ing an our claim," she answered. "But we'll go away." "I, guess you won't. We never let any get away to tell on Ms." I said nothing further, but I by no means looked upon myself as a dead man. If worst came to worst I would glye them a fight. I could not move then, with knife and bullet ready tor me, and deemed It wiser to settle back and bide ray time. The man- had been gone about half an hour when the faint -"report of a rifle came to' us through' the tree', The woman had been listening for it, and as It came she gave a start and cried out: "There goes one of 'em." . "Who?' I asked. "One of your partners. Dan has dropped him for sure." There was such a fiendish, blood thirsty look on her face that I was ap- ' palled, and the tame expression, to a , certain degree, rested on the faces of I the children. Like dogs, tbey licked I their chops In anticipation ofablooay feast. In about half an hour the man I appeared. He bad a bundle of clothing in one Irani and two rifles and a revolv er in tha other, " "Git one?" the woman asked, as he erue aboard the ugJ7 craft. "Yji," ."Didn't git them both?" "No. The other got away. I'll git theother to-morrow," l"e replied. ;."Glt'much?" rtLotj." He had In his hand the suit of clothes rfle and revolver belonging to ono df nty ruen George Sheen, -of Mobile. Tliere.were blood-stains on tbeclothlilir. and as tie unrolled the bundle I saw a bullet hole through the vest. He had killed the man and then stripped liitn stark naked. Yes, he had boots, socks, hat, collar, everything. The other man was Robert Jackson, of Chicago, who had worked with me for years. He had not "got" him. Why? Jacksoh was well armed and a bravo man. ' If he bad been present, at the shooting" of aneen ,bo would not have run awav, $iecn had Xn old-fashioned rffle'j Jack.-; s.on no,d.a .Winchester. H4 Would "in ,t'um have'kllled "the ouitawi The' two men mnsUiavo been'separate'd, and 'the ounaw must, uave amuusiicd Sheen. ' Leaving tho children to watch'me. the mari and woman now cast the scow loose and poled her about 300 feet from shore. The sun was getting well down ; and our side of the lake was In a deep shadow. When the scow had been an chored by a stone, the pair inspected the personal property nnd counted the money taken from the victim. The outlaw then washed the blood from-hts hands. ' mien mey entered tne cabin, or house, the woman produced some cold meat and hoccakc, and threw hunks to each one.Incluillrig myself. It was only after the provisions had disappeared, I eating mine with the rest, that the man addressed me. "Seeycre stranger," he said; "what brought you up here?" "Looking over lands," I replied. "Uml Who be you?" I told him. "Didn't count on seeln' Black Dan, I reckon?" he sneered. ;"Nb." "Triilchls unfortunlt fur you. I've killed every land hunter who ever sot fut on my claim, and I'll keep klllln sure." "We didn't come here to disturb or annoy you," "It's 'just the same thing. I'm down oil all the human race fur the way I've been used, and I'll kill whenever I cau get the chance. I've dropped one of your fellers. To-morrow I'll drop tiie other, and tbeh take kcer of you. . Git over thar ami lay down." "Over thar"1 was tho far corner, and entirely out of 'the reach ofniy'Win- .Chester. When I bunked- down In mv corner the gun was removed eutlrelv. auto thadamilv lay down Iu ueh a man ner as to hem me Iu. Forlhe. first three or four hours they were like cats, start Ing up at the slightest move, but toward midnight I was satisfied that all were asleep. I could not reach the firearms without stepping over their bodies, and they knew that any effort on my part to loosen a log would arouse them. About midnight, after a long and cautious effort I sat up. It was a star light night, nnJ as there was no door to the cabin, 1 could see out. I was fully determined to make an effort lo escape, but when I came to canvass the chances, I had to abandon the Idea. The alligators were constantly about us, often rearing up to paw at the logs, and unless I could get hold of the lire arras and begin the fight, I should be wiped out In any effort I made. I think I slept for an hour or two, and what aroused mo I cannot tell. I was still sitting, and as I looked out upon the night I saw a human figure draw Itself up on the bows of the boat. I at first supposed It was one of the family, but a moment s observation convinced me lo the contrary. This figure moved cautiously, as If desiring Its presence unknown, and was along thue In reach Ing the door. It then leaned against the logs and made a long survey of the Interior, and finally sank out of sight. My heart was heating like a trlp-lia:u-mer, and I could not fathom the mys tery. Was It an Indian or another out law? Moving so cautiously, what ob ject, nan no. in yiewr liad I once thought of Jackson, 1 should not have dared to hope he had come to my res cue through that water; nnd, too, I could not have believed he.knew of my whereabouts. From, the time I first caught sight of tho figure to daylicht was probably an hour and a half, but it seemed to me as If I lived five years. I had no hopes that the man was' a friend, and yet I could not look for a ne enemy. Per haps, after all, it was only one of the refugee negroes, of w hom scores were hiding- In the swamps, who had made his way to the scow in hopes to lay hands on provisions or clothing. I kept my eyes on the spot where I had last seen him, and, as he did not reap pear, I began to feel that he had slipped back Into the water, and returned to the shore. Did. you ever watch the coming of daylight when you felt that with It might come some life or death transac tion? The first signs came from the birds. Then alar up the lake came the cries of water fowl. A fox or some other animal stood on the shore near where we had tied up the night before and barked In an angry voice. The stars paled and drifted out of sight, and the Interior of the cabin begau to light up until I could distinguish the forms of the sleepers. I Hi ere was the strange man friend or enemy? As if in response to my query he suddenly rose up, stepped noiselessly Inside the door, and next in sunt a revolver began to crack and a voice shouted at me: "Keep down, Colontljhng the floor!'' j J rolled over on my face and I heard yells, screams and groans. , It was al! over in thirty seconds, and tome one ! cllad "All right. Colonel f r 's ipr d the varxalnts out."' I sprang up to find Jacftson standing In the center of the cabin, and on the floor lay rjutlaVr, wife anil" children, ill' dcAd. It was as I bad argued the day-J previous. The two men had separated In the woods SbceU toTcturn directly to cauip and Jackson to hunt for game for supper. 1lio outlaw1 had alnbuslied Sheen and killed him.., and Jackso'n had heard the report of the gun and become suspicious". He hurried to camp to Arid me gone aud everything taken and had traced us to the lake. , , , ..

When we bad burled our. comrade we made a close search of the floating cabin and found indisputable proof, of the murder of Ave or six persons. Jin an old wooden bucket were two gold and three silver watches, several pocket-knives, half a dozen rings anil $323 In gold.sllver and greenbacks.i As none of these ar ticles could be traced back to their own ers.'and as vengeance had overtaken the murderers, we felt no hesitation In tak ing possession of everything for the benefit of Sheen's widow. The last act was to set Are. to the scow and push It out Into the lake. It was as merciful to consign the bodies to the flames as to see the alligators fight over them. Such human 'wolves did not deserve burial. FLATTERINO PROSPECTS. A Dakota farmer recently called at the ofllce of the local paper, "How are crops looking out In your neighborhood?" asked the editor.- "Poor, very poor."- "What'sthe raatterwlth the wheal?''' "Oh, fust It was dry weather and then It was to wet and the other day a ball storm lilt It. .1 don't count on moru'u a quarter of a crop." "How are other things?"' "Purty poor. Flax ainU dolu' much, the frost took nil the com and the bugs have 'bout-ct up the pcrtaterS.'1 "Well, that Is bad I ant very sorry to hear It.!' " The farmer went out and the editor grasped a pencil and wrote: -''We -received -a pleasant 'call from farmer Snoozenberrv.of Wayback tow n 'ship, Thursday afternoon, -who dropped In to renew his subscription. Mr. 8. brought very flattering reports of tho crops and was particularly enthusiastic about the wheat, which he says Is acttt ally booiuins- He remarked that he would not bu afraid to guarantee every man In his township at least i0 bushels to the acre. Wa would challenge any other section of the territory o make as good a showing ns this. He was very earnest In what he said on the subject, and communicated his enthusiasm tn every one. With only about half acrop In tho other wheat-growing countries and a European war a Irlually assured wc ccrlalnlv have great cause for re joicing." THE OLD CAMEL STORY. It is quite a number of cars .since this old camel story trotted along the sands of time, so as the circus season is approaching, it has been suggested that it be started agln. This is how it happened. Abou Ben Eli McGutin, being full ot years, died, leaylng lo his three sons his soventeen camels, for the simple reason that he could not take them along w Ith him. The will, duly attested, raid the eldest was to have one-half, the second son one-third and the youngest one ninth of the seventeen camcla. The boys were a little perplexed at this, as It seemed to Involve the cutting up of a camel, and camels were worth three dollars a day on the Sahara that season. But the boys, if not first-class mathe maticians, had level heads aud did not go to law to prove the old man insane, but went instead lo the good old Cadi Hassan O'Donohiie, who had taken a medal at mathematics at the Ann Arbor University. "Bojs," said the good Cadi reproach fully, "you should not bother me with these little matters. Ask me a harder one." But seeing that they were troubled, the benevolent old man asked the hostler to trot out bis own dilapidated old camel, which had seen Its lest traveling with Barnum. riacing the aged brute with the seventeen camels the bovs bad brought along, he said; "There are eighteen camels. I shall now give you half the eighteen, which Is nine. How does tbat strike you?" "It hits where I l!ve;"ttld the eldest, who was slangy, but witbal pleased at geitlng half of eighteen rather than half of seventeen. "The next bov shall have one-third of eighteen, which is six. Are you there, Moriarlty?" "You, bet," says the boy. "The next will have one ninth of e.iuhteen, which is two," and so tbe third collared his two animals. Thus two and six and nine made seventeen, and atill wis the good Cadi's aged ani mal left unscathed. Tbe people mar veled, as the Cadi had given each more than the will called for, which is ratber unusual in. courts nf law. And tbey said one to another, "That's what it is to be good at fjeurcs."
