the present needed local improve

this College Boarding Hall, that
tbo citizens of Mt. Union have built
private boardpig bouses and dwell

It is likeswiso a fact, frequontly
and publicly stated, that nnless the

end of last terra, with a reasonable
prospect of going ou regularly and
harmoniously to a speedy and sue
cessful completion so as (without
stopping) to secure generously, in
accordance with the plan of tho
Trustees, ample funds for the needed
additional buildings and improved
grounds aud consequent prompt

It is an obvious fact that the in
termil life of this college was nover
so healthful or vigorous as now.
The late Chief Justice Chase, acting
as otio of its trustees, understood
this vigor when ho expressed his
conviction that "Mount Union is
among the best, cheapest, and mo'tt
progressive of American Collogos,
rendering a thorough integral Chris-
tian education in any Uep.irtiuont
acceaaible to all. In nccord with
Ibis idea, tba Term just closod has

Tho sun was hitting iu a pile of

sixteen summers hal passed over
Annie U'lIhIi's dark-tresHud head;
she was a sweet, plump Irish I issie,
with docp. dark blue eyes, waving
black hair, and a full red month ;
nho inado n pretty jueture, standing I
it ii nearly seven o'clojk,'' with ttuo
t her searching ga.o acrosi tho vast
prairie ; she entered tho long, ozy
room of the caviu, an 1 sat d in on
a rude rorking chair, t ) a .s uit tho
coming of her father ; she did not
wait long, however a linn, quickstep
was hoard without, and the next in
stant n tall, rather haudsomo man
entered tho open door.
"Father," exclaimed tho girl,
! starting up from a plestnt revoiie,
' in which alio had faden, "what has
kept you so Into to-uight?
James Welsh gtvo his sunuy-eyod

in her sweet Irish voice j "pray,

' John Williams told me, yester

"No!'' said Annio fearlessly, "He

So, after bo bad finished his sup
por Juntos Welsh kUsod bis young
daughter, and started 1 1 bis uoarest
neighbors, some six miles below the
cabin home.
Annie busied herself clearing a
way thu supper dishes, aud making
the long loom tidyi sho lighted a
wax taper and eat dowu by tho ta
ble to read Nero, tbo house dog,
was lying at her feet, aud a largo,
spotted cat wits purring at her side:
tho old fashioned clock in tho corner
ticked dismally, aud slowly rang out
the hour of nine, ten, eleven, and
still her father did not come t a
great fear stole into tho girl's bravo
heart i she thought of the robbers,
uud her rosy face grow pale i ano
ther hour passed slowly away, and
the rlock laug out the hour of mid
night. ,S'ue started to her feet, dopping
the wiru novel on the floor t "Hero,"
she said, u liighteuod gl aiieo at thu
barred door, "I am going t meet
yonr master ; some Lartu has befall
en him i come 1" -
And takiug ft lighted lantern from
the shelf, she opened the door, and
passed out into tho warm, scented
night, the huge dog at her side t it
was a lovely star lit scene i tha long,
damp grass, aud the warm breeze,
full of spicy odors from the pine
forest, to the east-ward, but the
shadows hung heavy over the bound
loss prairie i away off. iu the dis
tance, Annie saw ths dim, feeble
light of a dark lantern.
'Come, Utro." sho said borsely i
and sho bounded over the damp
grass like a fawn.
She was witbiu seven feet of the
little group i she orept nearer, a
great fear at her noble young heart,
a loaded revolver eliuobed tightly in
oue firm band i ft man waa lying
senseless on the ground, and t'o
dark, murderous looking face were
bending over hits j sbt peered da-
PA, MAB0H 21,

"my fdtuor I sue g tspua "ray uojj

and with a quick bouud tha fat thful
dog sprang ou one of the men's
breast aud bore him to the ground
tbo other villain attempted to Uno,
but a sharp report, a tlasb of fire,
rang out on tho ntgbt air, ana tlio
saounlrel fell under the well nitnod
shot of Annio Welsh's revolver.
She bent over her father, and call
ed bis name, with a Ijw inaube
opened his eyes
"Aunto, ' La cj iculateJ, "u o w

"No father,'' said the girl i "I

Then a low growl was herd, and
turning around, they behold tho
faithful dog bleeding at their feet.
"lloro! poor Herol" sobbed An
nie i but the dog died ero she finish
ed sponking.
Tuey hurried him then and there,
and a jou auer returned to tuo c ibui

Jamas Welsh embtacol his bravo

"You httva saved my lifo, Annia,"
ho said, foudly i "how can I repay

"By taken tno away from this

o th) summer nnd winter passed
away, and tho next budding spring
James Welsh took his beuutiful
duughlcr to Louisiana, where they
lived iu splendor, in their sunny

They had just boon there threo
short sweet years, when sweet, blue
