"I.ill, I.ill! run to the door quick!
There's some one coming down the
road."
Dill i'enlield blurted to her feet with
alacrity, thus ruthlessly destroying nil
the bright visions which had built
themselves up arotytd tho glowing
logs in the deep chimney.
"How much is it for a foot-passen
ger?" said she, calling up the narrow,
wooden stairway.
"Hut it isn't a foot-passenger," irri
tably retorted Delia, with her mouth
full of hair-pins. "It's old Miss Merrv
deer, with her donkey-cart. Ten cents."
It waa a stormy March sunset, red
and threatening along the west, with
a frozen breath of icicles in the air,
and black masses of cloud pile- 1 over
head, through which old Miss Merry
deer's cart seemed to advance.
I.ill I'enlield stood >n the toll-house
porch, looking with surprised eyes at
the gaunt, old woman, who sat on a
heap of cut branches and whipped up
a phlegmatic donkey in front of tier.
"Oh, you're always ready enough to
•top," satirically remarked Id Miss
Merrvdeer, as the donkey came to a
dc.-ui halt in front of the toll-bar
"Now, then, young woman (to I.ill)
why ain't I to be allowed to go on ?"
"Ten cents, please," said I.ill, timid
ly holding out her hand, with all that
she had ever re.nl. dreamed or heard
about witches coming kick into tier
mind at the sight of the yellow, old
face, with its fringe of white elf-locks,
the red cloak and the nose that was
hooked like a bird of prey.
"Ten cents!" shrilly repeated old Miss
Merrydeer. "And what for, I should
like to know ?"
"It's the toll-gate, please." explained
I.ill. wishing more than ever that her
cousin would come down stairs.
"I don't know anything aliout toll
gates," said Miss Merrydeer. "Stand
aside and let me go through! The
road was here long afore they built
the toll-gate. It's swindling that's
what it is. fiet up. Neddy!"
She settled herself back among the
green spruce boughs and protruding
roots with an air of determination,
and chirruped to her drowsy steed, as
if the meant to ride roughshod over all
opposition; but just here Delia I'enlield
came running down stairs and swung
Uie bar back into its place.
"Ten cents, Miss Merrydeer," said
■tie, "or you can't pass. That's the
law."
Miss Merrydeer uttered a curious
grunt of dissatisfaction.
"If it's law, it ain't justice," said
she, fumbling in the picket of her tat
tered old coat a garment wliii h had
evidently been rut down from a niau's
ulster. "There, as true as you live,
that there dime has fell out and got
lost in the woods!"
"That's nonsense," said Delia, tartly
"Ten cents—and do hurry. I can't
stand here in this wind all night."
"Hut I hain't got it," bluntly spike
out the old crone. "I.emmo pa-s!"
"Not without the ten cents," said
Delia, resolutely. "I've pa's orders,
and I must stick to'em. If you haven't
got the money you must go around by
the mill road."
"Hut that's four miles further," said
the old woman, despairingly. "And
Neddy's deal tired, and so am I. And
H's growin' colder every minute, and
these March winds is hard on my rheu
matics."
"You should have thought of that
kefore," said Delia, indifferently.
"Delia, why don't you let her pass?"
whispered I.ill. "She's so old and—"
"Old?" pettishly repeated Delia.
•Why, she's the worst old harpy in the
country. We always have just this
wrangle every time she goes through
the gate."
And she bolted the bar with osten
tatious noise. Old Miss Merrydeer was
■lowly and reluctantly turning the
donkey's drooping heal around, when
LUI herself came to the rescue.
"Stop a minute. Miss Merrydeer,"
said she. "Here is a ten-cent piece.
It seems such a pity for y>u and the
por old donkey to go so far around
this bitter cold night. And and you
can pay mo tho next time you come
tlds way."
"KhV" said Miss Merrydeer, shrilly,
"Who are you?"
"I'm I.ill," saiil the girl. "Mr. I'en
lield 's niece, from Omaha."
"All!" s iid tho old woman. "Well,
: whoever you be, you've done a kind
j and a merciful deed this night. And
I you'll get your reward b>r it, too. j
! Shall I toll v iur fortune?" once more i
| stopping the donkey as he was half
! way through the toll-gate, to Delia
i I'enfield's infinite disgust. "Oh, yes, j
; I've a charm. We that live in the
• woods Din 1 out many a spell that other
folks know nothing of. Well, here it
j is. Three flood (lifts for you. There's
| a lover coining; there's a gift of money
coming, and there's a clear conscience i
to go to bisl upon this night, (lood-by
- good-by."
And the donkey trotted away over
the frozen road, his hoofs ringing like
muffled bells, while Delia adjustisl the
bars with a laugh, and both girls ran
hurriedly bark to the glow and shelter
of the llrepl lee.
"Is she crazy ?" said I.ill, earnestly.
"Not half HO erazy as you were to
listen to her," said Delia. "It's old
Miss Merrydeer. Kvrry one knows ,
her. Mm gets roots and herbs from
the woods and boils them into drinks,
ami dries them, to dose people with.
There are families around here that
would rather have old Miss Merrydeer
in sickness than any doctor In town.
And she's a nurse, too; and some
think that she sees and bears more
than other people."
"How old is she?"
"A hundred at least," said Delia.
"Now let us make haste and get tin
tea ready, for pa will be half frozen
when he comes."
"1 wonder if my Three (imal (lifts
will come true?" said I.ill, laughing.
"(>h, undoubtedly!" Delia answered,
with the most markisl satire.
lint Delia I'enlield herself was stir. ;
prised, aliout a week subsequently,
wln-n a letter arrived for I.ill from
"the lad she left behind her."
"What do you think. I.ill? be
wrote. "I am coming Mast. I am
coming to the very same part of tho
country where you are. lioyou know
the old Med Mill? Well, Uriel Halj
has lioiiglit it. and we are to run it in
partnership. And when we have saved
a little money Oriel is coining back
West for the girl he is engaged to
and I—well, I.ill. you know the rest.
It may lie several years first, but we .
must lie patient! For the present, '
dear, it will lie enough for me to be
near you."
"There's the lover!" cried Delia, as
I.ill sat radiantly dreaming over the
letter. "And the clear conscience we'll (
take for granted. Now, if old Witch
Merrydeer would only supply the (
money, I should really ledieve in her."
"I guess." said .feborain Haw ley, the
hired man. who had conie in at this
moment with a pot of glue to warm
over the kitchen stove, "that old Miss
Merrydeer won't supply many more
things in this world. She's at death's
door with pneuinony. That's w hat I've
heerd."
"Is she, poor old thing?" said Ih-lia,
carelessly. "Take care, Jeboratn;don't
spill that glue"'
"She's got a lawyer's elerk there, ,v
tn akin' of her will!" chuckled Jebor
ain. "He's to take out his pay in four
I Kittles of Ague Sprure-Cure and a
gallon of riot-beer. Hut law! there
ain't no use she'll never die! She'll
lly up on a broomstick some day, or
disnp|ie ir in a llash of lightning."
The next day, however, came a tat
tered little messenger to the toll-house
a bright eyisl, colored lad.
"Old Miss Merrydeer wants to see
the young woman as she give the
Three Hood (lifts to." said he, rolling
his coffee-colored eyeballs around. "I'm
II iw Iter de way. Might off. please!"
I.ill looked at l> lia in amazement.
"Shall I go?" nil she. "Oh, surely
I ought!"
"It's a lonely spot," said Delia "up
in the wood*, with not a neighbor's
house in sight, Jdwirani had I letter
follow you at a little distance. Old
Witch Merrydeer may turn you into a
wlutrt dove or a red fawn, for all that
I know!
She laughed, but there was a certain
vein of seriousness that underlay all
her mirth; so I.iU started out in the
gray March afternoon, with little flur
ries of snow pricking her cheek like
frozen needles ever and anon, and the
rimy-froet crackling underneath her
! feet, while, some few paces tiehind.
trudged Jeboratn, charged to look as
little as possible like an escort.
"For nolxMly knows," said Delia,
I "what the old witch may take offense
i at."
Itut, to confess the truth. I-iil was
almost frightened when she entered
the little nnr-storicd cabin, one side
of which was alt awry with the force
| of many aw inter's tempest, in whose
low-colled apartment old Miss Merry,
doer lay dying.
"Is It my bonny girl?" hlio Hiiid, lift
ing her glance to the newcomer's facie '
"Yes, it's she as gave me the dimi' '
Out of her own pocket she gave it to
me. Everyone else turned their hacks 1
upon me, and laughed to see the old
witch go by. No one ever gave inn '
anything before but sneers and curses.
For what good to anybody was old i
Witch Mcrrydcer? Hut she took pity j
on me, Lord love her! And I prom- i
ised her Three (loud Oifts. I've made
her my heiress, that's what I've done, ,
t'oine here, pretty one, and put your
hand in mine."
Hut even as I.ill Anally touched her
warm palm to the old crone's fast pur
pling hand, she gave a quick little
gasp, turned over and died.
I,ill closed her eyes, tii-d up the jwor
old toothless jaws with her own scent
cd |M*cket handkerchief, crossed the i '
hands on the pulseless breast, and j
went home again, leaving Jelsiram to j
do what he could for the watchers and
attendant.-. And as she walked s!m
carried the strange, aromatic odors of ,
pine and birch, and dried pennyroyal
bunches in her dross, curious rometie '
bram es ol old Miss Mcrrydcer.
They buried Imr on the mountain- j
side in a quaint little graveyard, where i
the cows grazed at will, picking tli-ir4
way among the moss-grown tomb
stones, and where the fence had long ,
ago fallen to ruins; and people laughed j
at the idea of I.ill I'entield being con
stituted leire-s of the dead woman's
estate.
"tih. y--s; the will is all right and i
tight enough," said l'ncle I'eritlehl.
"Hut, arter all, what disss it amount,
to? An old hovel, crammed chuck
full of yarbs and roots, twenty gallons '
o' root-beer, four dozen bottles of ague j
cure that never yet cured anylssly, and
four acres of land with the stones so
close together oti't that even the slns-p

'Taint much of a fortun', accordin' to ;

"lint she meant kindly toward me, |
jsMir tiling!" said Lill. softly. "And
all la-cause I gave lor a dime."
The next afternoon, however, l'ncle
I'enlield came back from town with a
(teaming face.
"I.'Hik here, Lill," said he. "You've
got the fortun' arter all. What d'ye i
think? • >ld Witch Merry deer had eight
hundred dollars in the savings bank.
And it's alt yours. 1 declare I never
would have liellved there was that
much money to lie made out of riots ,
and yarbs!"
"Eight hundred dollars!" criisl Delia,
springing to her feet. "Then Lill ran
marry Tom t'atcsby after all. when he j
comes East."
For to three simple people eight bun- j
dreil dollars signified a fortune.
So this gentle-nat tired heroine in- J
herited the Three (osl Lifts after all. ,
Tom f'ateaby came East and set up in j
life as a miller, with Lill as the house
hold helm. And of course they lived i
happy ever after. Who ever heard of j
a pair of true lovers that did other

The l'opesc Indians.
A gentleman of Montreal, Canada* |
on a fishing excursion in the northern
part of the province of New Hruns- j
wick, discovered a small trile of In
dians calling themselves lVq>csc. The
narrator desoriliex them as differing in
important respects from the typical In
dian, yet veritable Indians. I'pon in- j
quiry of the chief, a man of line War- i
ing. it was found that a tradition had
been handed down from father to son
that they originally came from the j
coast of Maine; that in ancient tiuu-s j
a rolonv of white men canto from over j
the seas to their former home and dur- :
ing their stay intermarried with the |
young girls of the trilie. Ilenee the
difference between them and other
trilies of Indians.
As singuar testimony to their tradi
tion, the chief brought from his tent a
sword of English make, on the worn
scabbard of which was legibly in
scribed the letter "I\" and, a more cu
rious relic still, an ancient tattered
English praycr-lmok. Though no ono
of the trilie could read it, yet it had
been sacredly guarded. Upon the
narrator's return to Montreal ho im
mediately instituted inquiries and soon
was eonvineed that these were the de
scendnnts of the noted I'opharn colony
of ltio7-ft, that the sword was none
other than the sword of their progeni
tor, the Illustrious I'opharn, and the
prayer-lmok was one in use by that
Colony. Evidently the tribal name

An Odd Method of Defense.
Oddest of all defensive methods is
that of snapping off the tall. The
hUnd-worm. or slow-worm. Is a little'
snake-likn lizard common in the old
world. When alarmed it contracts Its
muscles in such manner and degree as
to break its tail off at a considerable
distance from the end. But how cAn
this aid It? The detached tail then
dances about very lively, holding the
attention of the offender, while the
li/Ant himself slinks away. And for
a considerable time the tail retains its
capability of (wisting and jumping
every time It in struck. The lizard will
then grow another tail, no as to lie
prepared for another ml vent ore. There
are other llzanla which have a similar
power, though in leas degree.

Cold waves, so called, a name for
which we are indebted to recent mete
orological science, do not appear to
move in some Instances much faster
than a railroad express train. They
vary, however, In their rate of motion.
Where do they come from? It is not
easy to say. It might In- found, if one
could travel at express speed from the
mountains of Montana, and the frozen
regions farther north, that the cold
continued all the way to Eastern
Alaska, and on to I'ehriug strait, with
even a greater degree „1 intensity. In
fact, the coldest region is probably the

The Washington esejrrespondent of
The Philadelphia Ui"ir<t says: If ynu
jump into the Delaware ami, at the
imminent rink of your own life, nave
the life of another, the secretary of the
treasury will give you a medal. If
your risk was "extra hazardous" or
your servicen particularly ilihtiri
you will get a gold mesial; if your r k *
was of a lower degree it will be silver.
When the life-saving serviee wan re-or- %
gani7.ee] under its present efficient chief,
Sumner J. Kimball, congress establish
ed these rewards. They were then
willed the brat-class and the second
class medals, and were given only for
the actual saving of life at the actus
risk of life. I'eople who had saved
life at the risk of life objected, however,
to receiving a second-class medal for
what they deemed lirst-class ser\ ice.
Due spirited young lady returned the
silver second-class medal sent to her.
She wanted the b< st or none, and it
now rep'iscs on ;t- velvet be<l in Mr.
Kimball's office safely. It was found,
too, that men often snvd life at a risk
of projaTty or of limb not tantamount
to a risk of life, but de-erving of some ,
recognition. It was thought, f• r in
stance, that the master of a laden ves
sel who delayed his voyage to save a
wrecked crew at gr< at personal expense
| and Inconvenience deserved a medal
equally with the man who simply
inoisteii'd his clothes in the surf. So
congress, to m<st these: suggestions,
changed the natmw of the medals to
I "gold medal" and "silver medal," and
made the provisions of award so
j comprehensive as to take in all life*
i -avers at ri-k. The terms of award
1 arc, however, not loots. This it evi
. dent from the fact that while many
1 aj>p)i< ations are recieved i through "my
! congressman," of course), few medals
are issued in a year; sometimes as few
as four or five, and never more than a
' v..re. Theaf pl;< ations, whh h must !e
