THE SCRAUTON TBIBUNE-TnURSDAT BIORNTNO. OCTOBER 10, 183.

PART I.
"It looks as If It mlsht rain this after
noon," remarked the lieutenant of ar
tillery. "o It does." the Infantry captain as
sented'. He glanced casually at the sky.
AVhen his eyes had lowered to the
green-shadowed landscape before him.
he said fretfully: "l wish those fellows
out yonder would quit pelting at us.
They've been at It sine; noon."
At the edge of a grove of maples,
across wide fields, there occasionally
appeared little puffs of smoke of a dull
hue In this gloom of sky which ex
pressed an Impending rain. The long
wave of blue and steel in the field
moved uneasily at the eternal barking
Sharpshooter.
of the faraway sharpshooters, and the
men, leaning upon their rifles, stared at
the grove of maples. Once a private
turned to borrow some tobacco from a
comrade In the rear rank, but, with his
hand still stretched out, he continued
to twist his head and glance at the
distant trees. He was afraid the enemy
would shoot him at a time when he was
not looking.
.Suddenly the artillery officer said:
"See what's coming!"
Along the rear of the brigade of In
fantry a column of cavalry was sweep
ing at a hard gallop. A lieutenant rid
ing some yards to the right of the col
umn bawled furiously at the four troop
ers Just at the rear of the colors. They
had lost distance and made a little gap,
but at the shouts of the lieutenant,
they urged their horses forward. The
bugler, careering along behind the cap
tain of the troop, fought and tugged
like a wrestler to keep his frantic ati'l
mal from bolting far ahead of the col
umn. On the springy turf the Innumerable
hoofs thundered in a swift storm of
sound. In the brown faces of the troop
ers, their eyes were set like bits of
fiash'ing steel.
The long line of the Infantry regi
ments standing at ease underwent a
sudden movement at the rush of the
passing squadron. The foot soldiers
turned their heads to gaze at the tor
rent of horses and men.
The yellow folds of the flag fluttered
hack in silken shuddering waves, as if
It were a reluctant thing. Occasionally
a giant spring of the charger would rear
the firm and steady figure of a soldier
suddenly head and shoulders above his
comrades. Over the noise of the scud
ding hoofs could be heard the creaking
of leather trappings, the jingle and
clank of steel and the tense low-toned
commands or appeals of the men to
their horses. And the horses were mad
with the headlong sweep of this move
ment. Powerful underjaws bended back
and straigtened so that the bits were
clamped as rigidly as vises upon the
teeth, and glistening necks arched In
desperate resistance to the hands at
the bridles. Swinging their heads in
rage at the granite laws of their lives
which bended even their angers and
their ardors to chosen directions and
chosen faces, their flight was as a flight
of harnessed demons.
The captain's bay kept Its pace at the
head of the squadron with the lithe
hounds of a thoroughbred, and this
horse was proud as a chief at the roar
ing trample of his fellows behind him.
The captain's glance was calmly upon
the grove of maples from whence the
sharpshooters of the enemy had been
picking at the blue line. He seemed
to be reflecting. He stolidly rose and
fell with the plunges of his horse In all
the Indifference of a deacon's figure
seated plumply In church. And it oc
curred to many of the watching infan
try to wonder why this officer could re
main imperturbable and reflective when
his squadron was thundering and
swarming behind him like the rushing
of a flood.
The column swung In a sabre-curve
toward a toreak In a fence and dashed
Into a roadway. Once a little plank
nrldre was encountered, and the sound
of the hoofs upon it was like the long
Toll of many drums. .An old captain In
the Infantry turned to his first lieuten
ant and made a remark which was a
compound of bitter disparagement of
cavalry In general and soldierly admir
ation of this particular troop.
Suddenly the bugle sounded and the
column halted with a Jolting upheaval
amid sharp, .brief cries. A moment
later the men had tumbled from their
horses and carbines In hand were run
ning In a swarm towards the grove of
maples. Jn the road, one of every four
of the troopers were standing with
braced legs and pulling and hauling at
the bridles of four frenzied horses.
The captain was running awkwardly
In his boots. He held his sabre low so
that the point often threatened to catch
In the turf. His yellow hair ruffled out
from under his faded cap. "Go In hard
now,", he roared In a voice of hoarse
fury. Hia face was violently red.
The troopers threw themselves upon
the grove like wolves upon a great anl-

mal. Along the whole front of wood
there was the dry crackling of musket
ry, with bitter, swift flashes and smoke
that writhed like stung phantoms. The
troopers yelled shrilly and spanged bul
lets low into the foliage.
For a moment, when near the woods,
the line almost halted. The men strug
gled and fought for a time like swim
mers encountering a powerful current.
Then with a supreme effort they went
on again. They dashed madly at the
grove, whose foliage from the high light
of the Held was as Inscrutable as a wall.
Then suddenly each detail of the calm
trees became apparent and with a few
more frantic leaps the men were in the
cool gloom of the woods. There was a
heavy odor as from burnt puper. Wisps
of grey smoke wound upward. The
men halted and, grlmey, perspiring and
putting, they searched the recesses of
the woods with eager, tierce glances.
iFlgures could be seen flitting afar off.
A dozen carbines rattled at them In an
angry volley.
iDurlng this pause, the captain strode
along the line, his fuce lit with a broad
smile of contentment. "When he sends
this crowd to do anything, I guess he'll
Sind we do it pretty sharp," he said to
the grinning lieutenant. '
"Say, they didn't stand that rush a
minute, did they," said the subaltern.
Both officers were profoundly dusty In
their uniforms, and their faces were
Boiled like those of two urchins. .
Out In the grass behind them were
three tumbled and silent forms.
Presently the line moved forward
again. The men went from tree to tree
like hunters stalking game. Some at
the left of the line fired occasionally
and those at the right gazed curiously in
that direction. The, men still breathed
4ieavlly from their scramble across the
Held.
Of a sudden a trooper halted and said:
"Hello there's a house!" Everyone
paused. The men turned to look at
their leader.
The captain stretched his neck and
swung his head from side to side. "Hy
George, it is a house!" he said.
Through the wealth of leaves there
vaguely loomed the form of a large,
white house. These troopers, brown
faced from the many days of campaign
ing, each feature of them telling of their
placid confidence and courage, were
stopped albruptly by the appearance of
t'hiis house. There was some subtle sug
gestionsome tale of an unknown thing
which watched them from they knew
not what part of It.
A rail fence girted a wide lawn of
tangled grass. Seven pinea stood along
a driveway which led from two distant
posts of a vanished gate. The blue
clothed troopers moved forward until
they stood at the fence peering over It.
The captain put one 'hand on the tap
rail and seemed to be about to climb the
fence when suddenly he hesitated and
said In a low voice: "Watson, what do
you think of It?"
The lieutenant stared at the house.
'Oerned if I know," he replied.
The captain pondered. It happened
that the whole eompany'had turned a
iraze of profound awe and doubt upon
this edifice which confronted them. The
men were very silent.
At last the captain swore and said:
"We are certainly a pack of fools.
Derned old deserted house halting a
company of Union cavalry and making
us gape like babies."
"Yes, but there's something some
thing " insisted the subtaltern in a
half stammer.
"Well. If there's. 'something some
thing' In there, I'll get it out," said the
captain. "Send Sharpe clean around
to the other side with about twelve
men, so we will sure bag your 'some
thi'ng something' and I'll take a few
of the boys and find out what's in the
d d old thing."
He chose the nearest eight men for
his "storming party," as the lieutenant
called It. After he had waited some
minutes for the others to get Into posi
tion, he said "enme ahead" to his eight
men and climbed the fence.
The brighter light of the tangled lawn
made him suddenly feel tremendously
apparent and he. wondered If there
could be some mystic thing In the house
l ike a Flight of Harnessed Demons.
which was regarding this approach.
His men trudged silently at his back.
They stared at the windows and lost
themselves In deep speculations as to
the probability of there feeing, perhaps,
eyes behind the blinds malignant eyes,
piercing eyes,
Suddenly, a corporal In the party gave
vent to a startled exclamation, and half
threw his carblpe Into nsition. The
captain turned quickly and the cor
poral said: "I saw an arm move the
blinds. An arm with a grey sleeve!"
"Don't 'be a fool, Jones, now," said the
captain sharply.
"I swear t' "began the corporal, but
the captadn silenced him.
When they arrived at the front of the
house, the troopers paused, while the
captain went softly up the front steps.
He stood before the large front door
and Btudled It. Some crickets chirped
In the long grass and the nearest pine
could be heard in its endless sighs. One
of the privates moved uneasily and his
foot crunched the gravel. Suddenly
the captain wore angrily and kicked
the door with a loud crash. It flew
open.

KEWS OF OTR INDUSTRIES.
Happenings of Interest to the Stopel
Trades and Particularly to the Trade
in Iron, steel and Anthracite Coal.
It was stated on Tuesday that the
Reading Coal and Iron company will,
today, advance t'he price for coal at
tide water on an average of 15 cents
per ton.
The audited account of the Reading
railroad lecelvers for the month of Au
gust shows a balance for the .Railroad
company of $7tH.ia, and a balance for
the Coal and iron company of Jll'5,773.
The freight .traffic of the Lehigh Val
ley on the 'New iloston branch Is rapid
ly on the increase. A little over a year
ago one crew handled all the freight
t raffle. 'At present .there are three
crews working on the route from Ha
zleton to the Schuylkill region, two by
day and one by night.
The Hazle mines lireaker, Which has
been Idle since Jan. 25 last, will resume
operations on Tuesday of next week,
and nearly S00 men and boys will again
find steady employment. During the
long idlneas the breaker has been en
tirely remodelled and, the old machin
ery has been replaced with that of the
most modern -type, making It the most
complete breaker in the region.
We notice in the statement of coal
transported over the Reading for the
week ended .Saturday, Oct. 6, that ship
ments aggregated 321,116 tons, an in
crease over the corresponding week last
year of 85.940 tons. This, If continued
throughout a year, would mean a total
of Hi.68.0L'S tons. So far this year the
Reaing has transported 11,026,187 tons,
against 10,009,095 tons for the same pe
riod last year, an Increase of 967,101
tons.
A bid of 35 was made for Acetylene
Light stock on the floor of the Philadel
phia Stock Exchange Tuesday, but no
sales were effected. That price was bid
by several brokers throughout the day.
As the stock has not yet been allotted
subscribers are not at all certain what
they will receive. One capitalist of
prominence Is reported to have sub
scribed for 1.000 shares of the stock and
other subscriptions for large blocks are
said to have been made. In the last few
days a large number of orders for the
light have been received, sufficient to
keep the company busy for a long time
to come. The stock will be listed on the
Philadelphia Exchange as soon as the
requirements can be complied with.
KEPT PROMISES ARE BEST.
From Rralns.
Advertising, to be made of any virtue
whatever, must be hacked up by fulfilling
the promises which you make therein.
You may for a moment attract quite a
crowd by a particular advertisement, but
If the promises which you make are not
carrlcl out, and If you have misrepre
sented any part of your business this is
sure to react upon you In the future, and
the loss In the long run Is much greater
than the gain which you have made tem
porarily. The only way to successfully
advertise is to do so with all honesty and
truth.
Not Answered. -
From the Toledo Wade.
"Why," asked .the philosopher, "why is
it that a. man the noblest created object
why ts it that a man should have such
doubts of his ability to win a woman's af

R. V. Pierce,
Chief Consulting
Physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surg

of Indigestion, Dyspcosta and Liver Com
plaint could be cured" permanently if the
right treatment were given. In support of
his belief that he bad discovered an altera
tive extract which he called " Golden Med
ical Discovery," that would cure these dis
eases, he collected from all parts of the
country the evidence of those who had
used his medicine, and he has asked the
public to investigate for themselves, as he
would be glad to furnish the names and
addresses of thousands of people who have
used Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery. All interested should send for a little
medical treatise on Dyspepsia, Chronic Di

Constipation and Piles, published by the
World's Dispensary Medical Association,

THE WORLD OF BUSINESS
STOCKS AND BONDS.
New York. Oct. (.As of late Chicago
Gas was the feature of the railway and
miscellaneous speculation. The stock fell
from tiiSfc to 65 on renewed pressure
from bearish sources, but later rallied
sharply to tWatis'i, when 'the bears at
tempted to cover their recent sales. Sugir
and Distilling and Cattle Feeding were In
fairly good request at a somewhat higher
range, tiugar got up to IDS', and Distill
ing to 24. The last named was bought
on rumors -that the company had made
an important deal with outside Interests.
In railway stocks there was a disposition
to cover short interests. The anthracite
coalers were hither on the advance in
tidewater rales. Lackawanna sold up to
1704 and Reading to 21. It was reported
that the Reading reorganisation plan will
be issued shortly, but bankers usually
well informed stated that no new develop
ments in the quarter referred 1o can be
exipected until the coal trade is on a firmer
basis. The Improvement in the railway
list ramsed from Si, to U4 per cent., the
Grangers and coalers leading. The net
changes In the active list shows gains of
Hal1 per cent. The total sales were 214.
807 shares.

Mr. W illiam Thornton, of 127 W. Market
Street, Kxpluin How and
Why Ho Did It.
From the Elmira Gazette.
Old age has many Infirmities, none of
which are moro prevalent than kidney dis
orders. Have you ever noticed how tho
old people complain of backache, lame
back, and general listlessness? And there
are many other symptoms of which they
do not speak, such as bloating of the limbs,
painful and Infrequent urination or excess
Iveness of the urinary discharge. Most
people think they are too old to find relief
and cure, but this is not so. No better ev
idence than the following, which comes
from an Elmira citizen, who has been
cured of a very severe case at 77 years of
age. Mr. William Thornton, of 127 West
Market street, speaks of his case In this
way: "I am 77 years old. I Imve been
aftllcted with thut dreadful complaint
(kidney disease) for over ten years, muk
InK my old age a burden. 1 was so bud as
to be forced to carry a belt at all times,
and, when my suffering became beyond
endurance, I would put on the belt, draw
ing it tightly around me and buckle It,
thus bringing an extreme pressure over
the kidneys; this, undoubtedly, forced the
urine out, a function which the kidneys
themselves had become too diseased to
perform. My condition 1 put down to a
strain 1 received. I began taking Doan's
Kidney Fills, I was much surprised, as
tho ailment was so severe and so long
standing, while I had tried many remedies
without any relief whatever. The pain I
have experienced at times from straining
In my efforts to discharge the urine was
simply awful. I have done away with tho
use of my leather belt, and the pain has
all gone, and I recommend Doan's Kidney
Fills to all afflicted with kidney and
urinary disorders."

A COMMENDABLE ACTION.
Prom the Troy Press.
The action of the great Catholic univer
sity lit Washington in opening lu doors to
female students Is a slgniticant sign of the
times. In the religious and educational
world woman Is ctcadlly advancing in au
thority and Influence. The great theolo
gians ) ml educators of the country recog
nize the fact that brotherhood of man
must Include the sisterhood of woman,
anil this Is hIho true of the really pro
gressive .politicians and newspapers. We
cungrntulate the Catholic university upon
its great stride forward.
