meadow, in which here and there tufts of
lone, rank crass grew.
Here he drew rein, struck, callous soldier
though he was, at the magnificent sight
which met his eyes. And he saw his whole
reciinent of the First Prussian Dragoons
ride past him northeastwards. Each man of
it calm, erect in his saddle, they rode as if
on parade along the front ol the enemy, who
fired upon thera. The fiith squadron rode
first, then the third, then the first. And
then onlr, and not till then, did the situa
tion, ana the whole purpose of ihe move
ment become clear to every one. For
scarcely had the last squadron become ex
tricated from the difficult ground when the
word "front" rang out, followed immedi
ately by "gallop." When this word
"front" was civen. Avantaguer Non-com-miWoned
Officer Von Konheim was right
be 'ore his squadron.
The French stood amazed. Their
skirmishers ran back or threw themselves
on the ground. Their rear ranks crowded
together into groups. Hotter and hotter be
came the rapid firing; more incessant the
growl of the mitrailleuse. Trumpet calls
blared over the field, and then dust and
smoke and fire lapped this crack regiment
round as it charged an army.
When the signal "Front" was eiven,
Avantagcur Von llonheiin was right before
his squadroii. He galloped furiously, with
teeth set and finiers clenched on his sword.
He saw Count Wesdehlen riding immedi
ately on his left; he saw several hies in the
first squad already missing; he saw the
trumpeter riding on the Count's right, his
face very white, his hand with the bugle in
St swaying to the ever accelerating gallop.
And there, right in front their red trousers
seen very clearly amid patches of rank
jrrren grass interminable masses of the
French infantry, kneeling, stooping, rally
ing into squares, throwing themselves on
their faces, but always, always, as it seemed,
pouring into that dauntless advance a mur
derous lusilade.
At about 50 paces from the bayonets Con-
heim felt an abominable shock in his left
ankle. He looked down and saw his loot
hanging loosely, and his heel where his toe
should have been. A moment afterward he
was among the enemy, slashing right and
left indiscriminately but till borne on
ward, onward, in the irresistible impetus
of this death ride onward to the purpose
assigned. Before that purpose was reached,
strange glimpses of the battle peered in upon
him, starting out of the smoke, and disap
pearing into it as suddenly again. Tight
ened wnite faces of boys, betraying neither
tear nor rage, hut astonishment simply,
as with almost a mechanical action
of the drill-ground, they thrust up at
him with their bayonets as he rode upon
them. Then the grim, browned face ot a
veteran, who showed his gums as he re
ceived the German's point in his heart; the
plunging of screaming, disabled-horses; the
slim figure of a French officer, who turned
suddenly with a venomous smile and
snapped a revolver; then, amidst dust and
smoke, wounded men crawling on hands ani
knees out oi the press a hundred impres
sions effaced as soon as seen, in that ever
thickening pall oi battle through which he
was borne onward, ever onward, to the
endl
His sword wasjjbroken now, though he
did not know, and bis mare's limping gal
lop told him that she was wounded. He
seemed to be separated from his companions;
but as he rode blindly on ward, ever onward,
he seemed, though teeing fewer of the en
emy in front of him, to be getting every
moment more and more into a horrible rifle
fire. A shot irom the right grazed his left
wrist, and tore the reins from his hands.
He grasped at them with his right hand,
but at the same moment bis mare sank down
on her haunches. Another stunning abom
inable blow struck him above the knee,
seeming to paralyze the leg, and immedi
ately afterward before his staring eyes n
crowd ot bayonets bristled. Delenseless in
the lace of death Vou Ronheim closed his
eyes. But at a sympathetic touch of a
gloved hand he looked up and saw a pro
tective arm raised and a French officer
looking into his face sympathetically. This
French officer was a nil, handsome, aqui-line-fe.itured
man, who stood unruffled and
unstained his mustache waxed as if for a
social unction; his white glove: fitting his
small hands perfectly. This exquisite in
battle looked at his nelpless foe admiringlv.
And smiling a little he said to him, speak
ing in German.
"Well, my brave fellow, vonr ride has
cometoanend.it seems." Von Ronheim
stared at the speaker stupidly.
"When one's weapon's gone, one's cour
age goes, too," he said, bluntly.
"Oh," says the Frenchman, still smiling.
"I am not so sure of that." The only
weapon which he carried was a small walk
ing cane.
"But let us see to our wounds," he went
on. and bent over the fallen man tenderly.
"Oh!" he said, looking at the wound above
the knee. "We do not bleed like this tor
nothing. We have an artery touched here,
I perceive."
"Leave me to die," groaned Ronheim.
"On the contrary, my brave fellow." said
the Frenchman He knelt as he spoke, and.
drawing bandages from his pocket, bound
them with a practiced surgeon's hands so
firmly above and below the wound as to
check the atal flnw. "Sir, I thank you,"
says I'onheim. "But you had best leave
me to die." The Frenchman rose from his
task.
"On the contrary, my friend, while that
bandage is about your knee I leave you to
live! To live and to do yet braver deeds"
le bowed low and drew off his men, smiling
jdeasautlv: "to live and to do yet braver
deeds."
TART II THE DBAMA.
"MtAVKK DEEDS."
"To live and do j et braver deeds."
These words, spoken by this unknown
Frenchman, and sounding like a voice from
heaven sent to assuage horrors, clung to
Von Bonheim's ears. They struck him
with the strength of a presentiment. Pro
phetic, indeed, they were to prove ! For it
came to pass that affr Von Bonheim bad
beenljing where he fell, listening totliecver
dccrcasiiig sounds of the tljing battle, staring
up at the sky, uuiib had already begun to
grow tender nun tUe colors of evening, won
dering wbether any ot his fellow companions
had escaped from the forlorn hope, he sud
denly heard a voico lioarso with agony calling
to lnm leccb.ncly so help. A voice that
he knew, too! lie raised himself, painfully
leaning on his two hanils, and lookedacross this
Golgotha, in nhicli di:ig men and liorser
fetnisgliti, in the d:r cti'ra from which this
voice came. And there, about 12 paces from
him. lie s a Young ni'm haic head raised
above tie dead body of ahorse, litis stricken
soldier had lo-t his helmet in the melee, and
lus pale, agonized lce aurt closely-crnpDed yel
low hair tl'oue out clearly in a sudden shaft of
sunset. Ronhciui recognized this face in an in
stant as the tac.- of Von Trocksow, an ensign of
Lis own retrimciit: and faint as he lumselt had
become, lie dr.'gged himself slouly, painfully,
to that fated spot, where the voices of duty and
pity combined in that hoar-c cry for "Help!"
summoned !nm like a trumpet call.
As, breathing licavil. he reached at last his
superior ofli cr'f: side, Itonlicim unconsciously
became mriivcd in the tragic me-hes of the
drama to which the flunks and tnry and carn
age of the aftci 10011. the shouting of the cap
tains, and the thunder of charging horses, had
been but the prologue. For, as bending over
VonTrosckow, who lay still with eyes closed,
aud liaTinc hold at the same ttmo of both the
wounded man's arms above the wrists, which
had been shattered as Iionbeim stooped thug,
trying with one hand by pressure to stop the
flow of Mood, which he knew now was arterial,
and seeking with the other for a handkerchief
to serve as a bandage, something slipped down
from under Ensign von Trosckow's sleeve, and
came acatnst the huge hand which was check
ing his life's flow like a ring of ice.
At this moment Honhcim had with his free
hand found a handkerchief in his officers
breast. But that strange chill which his other
hand had felt stayed the motion of mercy. He
looked at the cause of it And there, lying
close against his own hand, there, clasped on
the wrist of his wounded superior officer, he
saw a thin silver bracelet. This bracelet had
an Inscription on it. The inscription was
"Ho: God keep yon." It was the bracelet
w!.ich he had given to Rose on the night of
betrothal.
r.onhoitu'n heart became like ice. Under
this shock, deadlier than any to he received in
battle, he stnlencd like a man turned to stone.
Ills dead eyes remained fixed on the bracelet,
but uow the -man to whose help ne had hur
ried began to moan feebly: "Quick, Bonheim,
quick, or I die. Those accursed cbassepots
have shattered both wrists."
Bonheim answered hoarsely. "You hare a
bit of a bracelet here in the way. Ensign
Shall I remove ltr" But the other cried, in ft
kind of petnlant wail., "No, no! It was a
parting gttt a parting gift from the
girl I have loved . . . and ruined. Bon
heim looked about him for a weapon. With
the dreadful Inconsistency of hate, he did not
loosen his saving pressure above the seducers
wrist, even while he sought means to make an
end of him. Bat wronged and wronger were
both unarmed. No dead, still in cold hands
faithfully clasping sword and bayonet used so
well, lay within reach. These two actors In
this drama were apart the would-be avenger
saved only from bleeding to death by the
bandage bound by an enemy above his knee
his destined victim, with two wrists shattered,
dying from want of a bandage. They wore
both silent, breathing heavily. And above
them in the cloudless heaven the cold stars
shone down.
But -now tho ensign, on the very vergo of
fainting, beean to moan once more. "Bind np
my wrists, good Bonheim; bind up my wrists.
Yon have a handkerchief there. Why do yon
sit s aring to see me bleed to death?" Ho had
opened his eyes by this time, and from their
blue depths, now rapidly dimming, piteous en
treaty spoke. Hate was for a moment disarmed
by this glance of the dying.
Mechanically Ronheim tied the handkerchief
tightly, with the strength, strange to tell, which
his ery hate inspired, above one of the shat
tered wrists. Then he let it fall without a word.
Bowed over his unsuspecting enemy, he eyed
him fixedly. But from Von Trosckow's other
wrist the bright blood welled ont; and the En
sign, seeing this, seeing also that there was no
other bandage procurable to stay the fatal
flow, felt that hope had fled, and prepared to
face death fearlessly liko tho brave soldier that
he was.
"R .uheim." he said faintly, "you have done
nil that may be aone for nicintbe way of help.
Bur, as there is but one bandace. you have only
been able to bind one wrist. And I am dying
as quickly as possible from the other. There
remains but ono other thing for you to do, my
fine fellow: for, being tough, and well bound
up. it Is clear to me that you will survive. Take
this silver bracelet from my wrist, and see that
it is .nt torn v mother with my dying charge
He pansed for a moment, struggling with the
growing faictness.
".My dying charge." he went on. "to my
mother is. that the girl whose name is on this
bracelet shall be treated by her as if she were
my widow. I have wronged her. But I prom
ised to make her my wife. My mother is rich.
I am her only son. So you see that she will see
that my dying wish is carried out. Do you un
derstand me. Ronheim?"
Von Ronheim, his eyes still fixed upon his
dying enemy, bowed his head.
"And you undertake this mission, a you are
a true soldier?"
Again Von Ronheim bowed his head. But
his eyes no longer sought his enemy's. They
looked out across the battlefield, away toward
a tender glow on the sky-line; a faint streak
shining from behind the everlasting hills which
showed where the footsteps of that day of
death had died. And. as his small pig-like etes
met the litrht. they dilated, seeming to see some
pleasant picture in the afterglow! Some shin
ing vision of dead haopy days!
"Did you love this Boe Sucner. Ensign?" he
suddenly b'urted out gruffly.
Von Trnsckow, who bad elosed his eyes, an
swered faintly:
"Have I not said that she was to have been
my wife?"
'And did this baggage really love you?"
"Did she not give me this bracelet as a
pledger'
"And you would really marry her if you re
covered?" "Have I not sworn it by all that is most sa
cred? I speak as a dying man. You know,
Ronheim, as well as I do, that I am bleeding to
death for want of a bandage."
Ronheim was silent fur a moment. He
seemed to be thinking. And as he thought
there came upon his thick lips a smile of sin
gular sweetness and innocence, the smile or a
little child. And as this smile, brightening
ever before some vision ot boyhood which, each
moment made clearer, crew. crew, till it trans
figured the plain face, he quietly undid that
bandace which an enemy's pitying bands had
bound so skilltully above his woundGd knee.
His life-blood burst from the artery. But
without a thought of it, with the last strength
of a strong life, a strength to which hate no
longer ministered, in a minute be had bound
the saving linen, stained deeply alreadv with
his own blood, above that other's shattered
wrist, from which the last of a rival's life was
ebbing. Forgiveness strongerthan hate bound
this ligament close. The death flow was stajed.
Trosckow opened bis eyes wearily.
"What now?" he asked. His voice seemed
stroneer atready. as if that other life, seir
sacrificed. puUed already in his exhausted
veins. "What now?" he asked.
"It Is, Ensign." answered Ronheim bluntly,
"that I have found another bandage.'
"God be thanked!'' cried Trosckow as his
eyes lit upon his salvation.
""And as." went on Ronheim. "it seems that
mine has slipped, aud that there is such a
devil's own pool of my blood here as will short
ly send me about my business, it seems that It
is my turn now to make a confession . . and
exact a promise." . . . He motioned silence,
faintly readinc growing suspicion of what had
really happened in the other's tense face.
Confession first. Ensijn. Rose Sucher was
my sweetheart. I had hoped to be happv with
her. you see. I gave her that bracelet, com
mitting ber to God. It seems she has preferred
vour protection. 1 do not blame her. I never
did. I never could. Rose always had her own
wav."
He smiled again faintly that simple child's
smile. But the other read in It the whole
history of this hero's devotion saw how bis
own life had been saved.
"Wretch that I am!" he cried, and tried to
raise one shattered hand to tear the bandage
from the other. But Ronheim, content, saw
that to do this was beyond the other's power.
"You have promised for her, Ensigu." be
said; "and I know that you will keep your
word. I give my life gladly that Rose may be
an honest woman, few ear once more that if
you live jou will make her your wife."
With tears floodinc his eyes the other prom
ised. And then these two soldiers lay quietly
side by side on that darkened field of battle,
while above them the stars shone out splendid
ly, innumerable rejoicing eyes, viewing with
exultation the tranquil close of this drama of
Hate. They lay side by side for some space,
looking at each other as true friends look at
other who are soon for a long space to be
paited. Then, when Ronheim's lile was al
most ebbed, hurried steps were heard ap
proaching, aud a relief party came up. A Ger
man suigeon, a rough, red-bearded man, whose
skilful, tender hands bad been reddened
in the service of mercy, looked at Ronheim
first. He shrugged bis shoulders, and spat ex
pressively. The devil," he said, looking at the ground
red with that self-sacrificing blood "we are
too late here." Rut he burned with a bandage
nevertheless. But Ronheim, now at bis last
gasp, refused the service.
"I am past your aid, sir," he said. "Butthero
is Ensicnvon Trosckow, of my regiment, whom
I have looked to, who will repay your care and
mine. Ensign vou Trosckow has something to
live for."
He fixed a lone, steady look upon his rival
and died.
There came across the silent battlefield the
mellowed sound of distant voices slnginz "The
Watch by the Rhine." All lhat remained of
the First Prussian Regiment of Dragoon
Guards were marching back to Vionville. the
nearest place with water. Pall Mall Gazette.

BKA.ULT, Scotland, September 11.
This is the month of silence among the birds
of Scotland. You see all manner of them
here and there flying lazily close 'to .the
earth, or ruminatingly poised upon swaying
boughs as it overcome with' pensiveness and
melancholy. The consciousness of this
autumnal silence of the songsters comes
upon you suddenly as vou tramp by hedge
aud field along these grand old Scottish
ways. You turn aside with an impulse
to discover in the forest if it be a
seeming or a reality. Leaping a wall which
separates you from a coppice already tinted
with the first delicate penciling1 of the
frost, and plunging among the .brush
and brambles at its edge, you find a ragged
hollow. This can be clearly traced, straight
as an arrow, for a long distance. There is a
wonderful fascination in this bramble
covered swail. You pother about it for a
little, and find it paved with huge stones.
More digging discloses solid walls set be
neath the rubbish at its sides. You have
discovered an oid Soman road. The 'sea
itself hardly broke the line of this stout old
arterv, along which once surged the iron
blood of Home. Stern Agricola rode at the
head of bis legions past the very spot on
which you nre standing. Almost ceaseless
tides of warriors swept over this road to
lions Grampus, that 10,000 slain and stark
Caledonian barbarians might form an im
passable wall to the mist-wreathed moun
tains beyond.
Eighteen hundred years have passed since
jealous Domitian recalled to Borne -this in
vincible leader of steel-mailed slaughterers,
and the glowing peu of Tacitus told the sur
passing bravery of the skin-clad Northmen
who fell beneath his onslaughts; but as you
linger upon the old Boman Boad, dreaming
until the sun is almost level with the .far
mountain tops, flaming their blue heather
marvelously, countless wraiths pass and re
pass in oldeu battle array. Then that 'it is
the nineteenth and
NOT THE FIRST CENTURY
upon which is shining is recalled to.you by
the face ot a keenly observant but solemn
collie dog breaking between some clumps ot
golden broom above your head. He has
been minding a flock of sheep, grazing yon
der on the brae-side; and he has stepped
aside for a moment to interrupt your vagar
ous fancies about Agricola and all the other
grim old leliows of his blood-letting time.
and to study your intentions and possibly
examine your credentials. Ton beg bis
pardon for the trespass; leap the wall to the
highway again; gaze back down the valley
upon a score of red-roofed hamlets; push
forward to the wayside inn where you are to
tarry; and, between the walls ot its huge
chamber, you march in dreams from the
Seveu Hills to the Grampians, with mailed
hosts and forest spears, along that old
Boman road throughout the livelong night.
Nature wears other aspects than those of
sunshine and gladness in Scotland. The
rain falls as though tumbled upon vou by
mischievous elves who have watched for
your unwary coming; and the fog and mist
flap abont the mountains and slap the face
of the glens and valleys like a ship's Un
stayed sails pounding its deck in a storm.
But you find a sovereignty of elation and
exaltation in wandering alone among the
scenic glories of any land; even in Scotland
through a mist thick as Strathgiass por
ridge. A good staff or stick, a stout pair
of legs, a receptive mind, and above alia
cheery and sympathetic heart, whatever
your luck, are the regal companions for
such loiterings. Nature never fails to ap
pear to single devotees at her myriad doors
and windows, ever shut to noisy crowds,
with radiant welcomings. How witching
the morning is, half disclosing the wondrous
charms of valley, haugb, loch, river, glen
and mountain!.
At times'.scarcely can your hand be seen
before you for the strange eddies, curlings
and fantastic convolutions of the fog. There
is your road, centurieskold and as hard as
Scotch wit, beneath your feet. You cannot
mistake that. What is to the right or left,
or before, only your fancy, quickened by
the morning's awakening life, intensified by
near and far mysterious sounds, can locate
and divine.
TRAMPING THROUGH BAIN.
Tramp, tramp, tramp, bravely as you
may, these grow into consciousness so "im
perative of recognition, that, that despite
yourself, ever and again you stop to listen,
listen. Drip, drip, drip, from the leaves
of the hedges into water basins of rock, the
great drops striking like silver pellets upon
swinging glass; until the very chimes of
the fairies are rung in your ears beside the
road Not.a rod away, but invisible, rivu
lets of the night's making wimple from
rocks to pools, irom the staccato of tenor
trills to the barytone minors of stately
psalms.
Over your head the restless abrasion of
boughs whispers that the leaves from their
very weight of fog cups, sigh and moan as
if impatient of their sunless prisoning.
Making your way is some times like push
ing through impalpable banks of snow. But
before the crackle and flame of the old inn
fire place, in the nresence of scones white as
a dove's wing, bacon crisp and brown, an
omelet as yellow as a frost-painted beech
leaf, a jug of cream sweet as a nut kernel, a
fragraut brewing of tea in the delph pot
under the "cosey," and a gnidwife bustling
about in a sort of cheery frenzy to make you
welcome, you have reason to be glad of "the
blood-tingle to be fonnd iu doing a half
dozen miles, before breakfast; through a
genuine Scotch log.
It you tramp in Scotland you- cannot
avoid the humidity, nor can 'you Jail to ob
serve one ol the curious effects upon Scotch
people themselves. They are lejther-whplly
indifferent to its influence or seem to possess
a sort ot liking lor it, from lapg syne com
panionship. A fish poacher will cast his
hook in contentedness all daylong'through
a steady drizzle. All sorts of peasant folk
aloog the roadside pursue their regular vo
cations in pelting showers, as' if utterly un
conscious of the drenching element. Ex
cursion and picnic p.irties set forth for a
day's outing in a pouring rain with the
same enthusiasm us on a clear morning.
You will see as many fine ladies shopping
in Princess street, Eiiinbur::, on a ratny day
as on a clear one. The indifference to the mist
and rain may have become
A NATIONAL CHARACTERISTIC
through the universal use by Scottish peo
ple of woolen clothing, so perfect iq quality
aud comfortable in texture as to protect
the body from the ill-effect of sudden change
in temperature and the chill of evaporating
moisture. But you can not account 'for the
apparent actual liking of mist and drizzle,
drizzle and mist, save on the theory that
endless companionship with .anything as
expaserating as intermittent fog, sua and
drizzle, in time, gives the habitol liking,-if
not indeed ol love. That the Scotch lore

proof. "Dear Auld Reekie" (old Foggy,
or Smoky,) is not only the pridetul appella

Edinburgh, oneol the most interesting cities
of the world, but it is the love-name of all
old Scotia itself. Any dti.ij jn .the year 'or
in Scotland you will be caught in a .shower
or swirled in a fog every day -of the year
you will meet groups of sooiety .ladies or
business men gathered at crossings or Dear
important building entrances, cheery as
larks on a June morning in their exchange
of courtesies or gossip, while tiny rills of
rain are merrily coursing from toeir -ears,
chins and noses, or setting along tolerav
tive vertebra the sequeitered and spongy-
shades of waist-bands, fiip-pockets and
kilted skirts. While about George Square
at Glasgow, the old Iron steeple, Dumfries,
the picturesque lauding place at Oban, and
along High street o in Waterloo place,
Edinburgh, you will see scores of people
standing idly in the rain: , as though they
bad come out of irksome and confining
habitations for an invigorating sup, literally
sun nf thin sort of fresh air.
Perhaps it is the wizard witchery of
Scott, as poet and novelist, perhaps the ra
diant romance of all Scottish Borderland,
but you never tire of tender Tweed-vale
and its sweetly flowing stream. You are
not the first to feel this. The old monks
loved the valley and dotted the Tweed-side
with splendid monasteries. Their grazing
lands were the richest; their cattle the finest;
their grain of the plumpest kernel; their
iruit the sweetest; in all Britain.
ORCHARDS ON THE TWEED.
Tradition has it that the fine old apple
orchards still standing here all ot them on
the Tweed's north banks, and many of them
as wonderfnl in their fruitage as in that
marvelous Vale of Apples where once dwelt
Gabriel and Evangeline at the edge of Minas
Basin were planted by these cowled and
sandaled folk. Thatmnst have been hun
dreds of years ago. But these rare old trees
are big, gnarled and gray enough for that.
Little hamlets have grown up within and
about these ancient orchards. Weavers'
villages they once were. The clack of
the dusty loom is now still; but they
are quaint old nests housing quaint
old folk, who have ripened and mel
lowed in these sunny places along the
Tweed until they fit into their .orchard en
vironment as the orchards themselves blend
with the restful landscape. If yon have
wandered up and down the Tweed, perhaps
of all these brae-side nests you have found
GattonsiJe, by Melrose, the dreamiest aod
quaintest. Leaving the glorious abbey to
your right you saunter along a shadowy
road overarched with Scotch firs and beeches,
cool and tragrant. On the one side is
ancient St. Cuthbert's and a moss-grown
mill and dam. Tiny fields, with tidily
stooked grain, rise in patches of yellow,
gray and green on the other. At the end of
the vista now and then flashes the blue of
the Tweed. Then an old suspension. bride;
is crossed. Above and below, anglers stand
waist deep iu the river, and a few cars are
taking gravel from its shining bed.
A SILENT HAMLET.
A little farther on groups of old peasant
women, pausing now and then to bless the
Covenanters or boil a new bree from an old
scandal, are cutting thistles and weeds with
sickles at the waterside. These brambles
will be dried to help piece out the meager
fuel in the near winter days. At the
village edge the road ends; or rather blends
into a score of century-beaten rjaths; for
Gattonside has no street Each of its
thatched houses, as if with a touch of
Scotch obstinacy, sets its face toward its
own liking; but all have the Tweed and its
songs just below them; and every one has
its orchard inclosed with a yellow or white
sinuous wall. Huge as oaks are these
knotted old apple trees, but their well
pruned branches are bending even to the
cottage roofs with such loads of "rosy
cbeekit" apples, that their scarlet blends
witn the green foliage
If men live in the village your keen
est gaze cannot find them. It is.shopless,
save where in one little window "sweeties"
of ancient maKe and flavor are exposed. It
is kirkless, and nought bnt the sonud of the
old abbey bell from a mile away at Melrose
disturbs the wondrous quiet of the place.
All doors are open to all in Scotland, and
you can peer into this cottage and that. The
incarnation ol sweetness and cleanliness, but
no human is beheld. Here is an old school
house deserted and silent An orchard was
its playground but a few sheep are grazing
among its tender grasses now. Unconsciously
vou have begun to tiptoe through the ham
let, for it seems as though even a footfall
might break the spell of silence and repose;
and you pass on to reach the rough, red
road that leads to the primeval forest be
yond. But no, here is such a quaint old
cottage that you halt again. Something
like an arched front from which rises a
huge chimney arrests your attention. On
either side of the chimney is a tiny pane of
glass
You peep into one and see the oddest ingle
nook in all Scotland. A huge arch sustain
ing the bowed wall of the cottage and the
chimney above encloses a cavernons fire
place. At each side of this a settle of stone
is built in the bow beneath the arch. The
panes of glass are little outlooks from this
peasant fortalice of a snuggery. Oppos'ite
the one into which you are peering an old,
old woman is asleep. She has bean knitting
and looking and dreaming nut through the
apple boughs across the sunlit valley. Her
white old face is as white as her white old
"mutch" cap. She had knit to the middle
of her needle, and then fallen asleep. But
her thin old hands hold the needles upright
and clenched, as though duty lasted beyond
consciousness; and her cat has come to the
opposite settle to stare at the silent face, as
if doubtful of the meaning when the click
ing needles stopped. This is the only soul
you have found in Gattonside among the
apple orchards and their sunshine by the
Tweed. Edgar L. AV axeman.

NEW IDEAS ADVAKCED BY A CHIEF
How to EconomIcaIlj Kan a Department
and Encourage Discipline.
-J
GOSSIP GATHERED IN ENGINE HOUSES
In no State in the Union can there be
found a better or more enthusiastic volun
teer fire service than in Pennsylvania. New
York State alone can be considered a com
petitor for these honors. Tbe old volunteer
departments ot New York City and Phila
delphia excelled the world in their time, and
now the lesser departments, throughout the
two States keep up the reputation made by
those two cities in the olden times, as was
made manifest at the recent Wntertown, N.
Y., and Chester, Pa., State conventions.
The State Firemen's Convention at Ches
ter was a grand success, and highly credit
able to the fire service of Pennsylvania. The
parade was a magnificent affair, and the
conduct oi the firemen was excellent. The
Chester firemen were thoroughly alive and
much enthused in the convention. The
hospitable manner in which they entertained
the visitors was such as to command un
limited praise all along tbe line. The
Philadelphia and Brooklyn "Veteran Asso
ciation attracted universal attention. It was
one of the largest firemen's parades ever wit
nessed in Pennsylvania. The business pro
ceedings of the association were good, al
though not np to that of some of the other
State associations, who pay more attention
to business too much so, perhaps and less
to the pleasure programme of their annual
conventions than the Pennsylvania Associa
tion. Columbus, O., some time ago authorized
the issuing of $15,000 bonds to purchase new
engines, build new fire stations for its, fire
department, and otherwise increase the de
partment's efficiency. The issuing ot these
bonds has been stoppe" by some errors on
the part of tbe municipal authorities, and
the delay will prevent the erection
of the new stations until next spring.
Chief Heinmiller said recently, in connec
tion with the proposed reorganization of
that department, that the most important
change would be in establishing a' general
fire headquarters. "My ides," said he, "is
to have the headquarters conducted on the
same plau as is tne system in the regular
army. All the supplies tor the department
should be kept at the headquarters, with a
man there in charge, whose duty it would
be to issue tbem tbe same as the regular
army issues Sustenance, arms and accoutre
ments. It would be a great saving to the
city, as each fire captain would strive to
have his company tbe most economical of
any in the service.

has ordered that the theater aisles and lobbys
behind the seats usually occupied by standers
on admission tickets, be kept open and free for
immediate egress in case of emergency. A
wise idea. There bas long been a law in that
city to tbat effect, but it has never been en
forced. The Friendship Hose Company, of Collins
vilie, has reorganized for the ensuing year with
tbe following officers: Captain, Georce Brash
car; First Lieutenant, Thomas Courtnev; Sec

now in a most flourishing condition and is one

time ago. The .Major Chief is well fixed as far
as this world's goods are concerned, and a
happier go-lucky sort of a person never ex
isted. Collections of old Ore service relics are
now a popular fad, especially among tbe vet
eran associations, nearly all of them having a
collection. The largest individual collection In
tbe country, and perhaps the very largest of
all collections, is lhat or William T. King, of
ongiDe 5, Cambridge, Mass.. which consists of
over 2,000 pieces, including 600 hat fronts, 200
belts and one or more pieces of almost every
conceivable article ever connected with the
fire service. His collection of photographs ot
different builds of steam fire engines, 61 in
number, bas no equal.

BEATING THE RECORD. '
THE MAYOR'S OFFICE RECEIPTS EXCEED
THE ESTIMATES.
More Moner Turned Ir.tu the City Treamry
Than in Any Prevloae Year The First
Police District In Front, m Usual.
The monthly report of the Mayor's office
shows a total of $7,698 53 received. From
the beginning of the fiscal year, eight
months ago, the jrayor's office receipts have
averaged about $6,500 per inonth'?'so that
with the September business, the total foots
up $53,279 26. 'When the appropriation
ordinance was passed for tbe current year
the receipts of the Mayor's office were esti
mated at $50,000. At that time the
Mayor received the cash for ped
dlers', pawnbrokers' and amusement licenses,
but after Mayor Gourley went into office he
decided tbat tbe issuing of these licenses
was more properlv the business ol tbe De
partment of Public Safety, and he turned
them over to Chief Brown. This cut off a
considerable income to the Mayor's office,
but notwithstanding this, the receipts of the
office for eight months of the year have
already surpassed the anticipated income
$3,279 26, and there are four months to
come. If the remaining four months aver
age as well as the past eight, and there is
every reason to believe that they will, the
Mayor's receipts will reach $78,000 for the
year, more than 50 per cent above what was
expected with the licenses included. The
receipts of the Mayor's office last year were
only $48,000, including the income from
pawnbrokers, peddlers and amusement li
censes. The principal portion of the Mayor's re
ceipts come irom the First Police district.
Police Magistrate Gripp turned in $2,31393;
Magistrate McKenna, $1,703 85, making a
total or $4,017 78 from the First district. In
the Second district Magistrate Hyndman
turned in $1,261 55 and Magistrate Leslie
$932 50, or a total of $2,194 05 from the Sec
ond district. In the Third district Magis
trate Succop turned iu $1,486 70.
The total number of arrests during Sep
tember was 2,085, of which 1,332 were in the
First district. 400 in the Second and 753 in
the Third. Of these 770 paid lines, 324 were
sent to jail, 286 to the workhouse, 671 dis
charged, 24 sent to court for trial, 3 sent to
Reform School, 3 to hospital, 2 to Poor
Farm and 2 held over.

JUDGE FETTERMAJTS BEREAVEMENT.
He Loses a Llitle Black DIare That Was
a Character In Her Way.
Judge Fetterman's famous little black
mare is dead. She was as noted iu her way
as Dick Turpin's "Black Bess," and in
sober earnest performed journeys very
nearly equal to that from Londou to York.
Had the Judge's mare been gifted as was
the prophet's donkeyvin olden time, she
could have contributed some rare political
literature that is likely to go into oblivion,
tales of how soniecouibinations were formed
during the last two decades.
Last spring something went wrong with
her toot, and though the Judge had her
under medical care, she grew thinner from
day to day, and suffered intense pain. Last
Saturday the Jndge tooc home some cholro
form, with intent to inflict a paiuless death
the next morning, but in the morning the
little mare was lound lying dead in her
stall. She was well stricken in years, but-
up to the time she got hurt was as spirited
as a colt.
HOT EVEN A CBUST.
Judge White Recognizes a Good Excuse
From an Absent Witness.
A sad case of destitution was developed
in the Criminal Court yesterday when
Bessie Cohen was called up to answer a
process that had been served upon her.
Mrs. Cohen had been subpoenaed as a wit
ness in a case and failed to appear in court,
at the appointed time.
When asked yesterday why she had ab
sented herself from court Mrs. Cohen,
tbrough Interpreter Lnty, replied that she
was trying to secure some food, and that for
six days there had not been even a crust rU
bread in her bouse for her children. This
statement was so touching that Judge White
immediately ordered the release of the
woman from custody.

AMERICANMRON WORKS.
The Well-Known Interests of
Messrs, Jones & Laughlin.
MR.MICHAELH.5MITHTALKS
The American Iron Works, owned by
Messrs. Jones & Laughlin, is probably one
of the most prominent and best known in
dustries of its kind in this section of the
country. It is with the engineer of this im
mense works and his somewhat remarkable
experience that the following sketch has to
do.
Mr. Michael H. Smith is now, and has
been for the past 20 years, a resident of old
original Brownstowo, Jiving at No. 2822
Harkins street, between Jane and Mary
streets, Southside. In an interview with
the writer, among otber things, Mr. Smith
said: "For some time I had been troubled
with catarrh, at least that is what everyone
said was tbe matter with me.
Mr. Michael H. Smith. tSZl Markint Street,
Boulhside, rxlUburg. JPa.
"It came oil gradually from colds, I think
I Brat noticed it In my bead. My nostrils would
clog up, first one side then the otber. I bad a
dull, heavy pain over my eyes and through tbe
temples. My bead and throat would fill up so
with a tongh yellow phlegm tbat I could hardly
breathe. I would have to get up at night and
hawk and raise to clear it.
"As my trouble grew worse my appetite
failed me. I had no relish for anything. No
kind of food seemed to agree with me. My
rest was broken. I was unable to sleep or do
anything else. I would have to get up at nigbt
and walk the floor to relieve my mind. 1 wonld
have severe pains in my stomach and it would
'swell up and feel as If there was a heavy weight
ot iron inside it. Palpitation of tbe heart set
In. I would feel weak and dizzr.
"Why didn't 1 try to find relief 1" I did. I
tried almost everything X ever heard of, and
went to a number ot physicians, bnt with all
kept growing gradually worse, until finally I
was compelled to give up my work and remain
at home. 1 was unable to do anything. I had
been In this condition, away from my work,
abont seven weeks, when, after reading inthe
paper ot a case similar to my own that bad been
treated and cured by Drs. Copeland & Blair, I
decided to call on them irlthout delay, and try
once more for relief from my suffering. I did
so, and finding theif charges so very reason
able began their treatment at once. Rather
to my surprise 1 began to improve
almost from ihe first. My bead and throat be
came clear. My appetite returned. I have no
more trouble with my stomach. I sleep soundly
now and rise refreshed. In short, all my symp
toms generally disappeared. I have returned to
my old job again and do my work without
trouble. lama different man entirely from what
1 was, and 1 owe my recovery to the skilltul
treatment of Drs. Copeland and Blair.
Mr. Smith lives, as stated, at Mo. 2S22 Har
kin" street, where this statement can be readily
verified.
BEWARE OF IMITATORS.
Drs. Copeland and Blair, the Originators,
Still at the Head.
A short time since the attention of the public
was called to the remarkablo success Drs. Cope
land fc Blair were having In tbe treatment of
catarrh and all its various complications.
Althougn imitators of their methods of treat
ment and mode of advertising have sprung up
in various sections of the City, their feeble
efforts have met with no success. Drs. Cope
land and Blair still remain at the bead, and
their success is unabated. Dr. W. H. Copeland
Is personally in charge of bis extensive practice.
To his skillful treatment aud close attention to
tbe various changes In the cases under his care
are due the wonderful results reached.
