They have tleil." said the woman,
Willi a thankful hIrIi.
"Ves," said the mnn, "we are deliv
ered ntire more out of the hands of the
enemy."
"We must not unbar the door or the
lOuitters vet," Haiti the woman, anx
iously. "I will set supper by candle-
llellt." , ,
Then I.HItia realized what she had
not done before, that all the dayllnlit
was shut out of the house; that they
hud for liirlit only one tallow rnndle
and a low hearth lire. It was very cold
then, l.etltla began to shiver with cold
s well as fear.
Suddenly the woman turned to her
with motherly kindness and curiosity.
"Who Is this little damsel whom
you rescued, husband?" said she.
"She must speak for herself," replied
):i r husband, smiling.
"1 thought at lirst she was Neighbor
lAdam's Hioebe. but I see she Is not."
"What is your name, child?" asked
the woman, while the three little Rills
looked wnmleringly at the newcomer.
. "LetUlu Hopkins," replied 1-etltlu, in
a small, scared voice.
The others started.
"1 etltiu Hopkins, did you say?" said
th' woman, doubtfully.
"Yes, ma'am."
They all stored at her, then at one
another.
"It Is very strunge," said the woman,
finally, with a puzzled, hall'-alurmed
look, "t.etitla Hopkins Is my name."
"An.l it is mine, too," said the eldest
Bhl.
- Letltia gave a great Jump. There was
SoinetlihsK very strange about this.
T.ctitia Hopkins was her family nnnie.
Her grandmother, her father's mother,
had been l.etltla Hopkins, and she had
always heard that the name could be
traced buck in the same order for gen
erations, as the Hopklnses had Inter
married. She looked up, trembling, ut
the man who saved her from the In
dians. "Will you please tell me your name,
sir?" she said.
"John Hopkins." said the man, smil
ing kindly ut her.
"Captain John Hopkins," corrected
his wife.
l.etltla gasped. That settled It. rapt.
John Hopkins was her great-great-great-grandfather.
Hreut-aunt Veggy
had often told her about him. He nad
been n notable man In his day, among
the lirst set tiers, and many a story
concerning him had come down to his
descendants. A ipieer little miniuture
of him. in a little gilt frame, hung In
the best parlor, und Letitia had often
.looke". ut It. She had thought from the
first that there was something familiar
about the man's face, und now she
recognized the likeness to the jnln
lature. It seemed awful and Impossible, but
the little green door had led Into the
past, and l.etltla lloukius had visited
her great-great-great-gitimllatlier and
grandmother, her greut-great-giund-inother,
uml her two great-great-aunts.
l.etltla looked up in the faces, all
.Fttirlng wonilei ingiy ut her. und ull of
them hud thai famillur look, though
she 'had no miniuture of the others.
Suddenly Hie knew that it was it like
liess of her own luce which she recog
nized, ami it was as if she saw herself
in a live-fold looking glass. She felt
us If her head was turning round and
round, and presently her feet began to
follow the motion of her head, then
strong arms cuuuht her, or she would
have fallen.
When .Letltia came to herself again,
he was la a great feather-bed, ill the
'Unfinished loft of the log-house. The
wind blew in her face, a great star
Hhone in her eyes. She thought ut lirst
she was out of doors, then she heard
a kind but commanding voice repeat
ing: "Open your mouth," and stared
up wildly Into her great-great-great-Krandinother's
face, then around the
nrange little garret, lighted with a
wisp of rags In a pewter dish of tallow,
and the stars'shlning through the crack
In the logs. Not a bit of furniture was
there In the room, besides the bed nud
uu oak chest. Some queer-looking
garments hung about on pegs and
swung hi the draughts of the wind. It
" must have been snowing outside, for
little piles of snow were seutter-d hero
and there about the room.
' "Where am I "" Let I tin asked, fee
,1jly, but no sooner hud she opened her
mouth than her greut-grcat-great-gratulmother,
(ioodwife Hopkins, who
had been watching her chance, popped
In t In great pewter upoon full of some
horribly black and bitter medicine.
l.etltla nenrly choked.
"Swallow It." said Clnndwlfe Hop
kins. "Ynu swooned away, and it Is
.good physic It will soon make you
well."
' (Ioodwife Hopkins had n kind and
motherly way, but a way from which
there was no appeal.
l.etltla swallowed the bitter dose.
"Now, go to sleep," ordered Oood
tt'lfe Hopkins.
l.etltla went to sleep. There might
have been something quieting to the
nerves In the good physic.
She was awakened a little later by
her great-grent-grandmother, and her
two great-great-aunts coming to bed.
They were to sleep with her. There

before. There was not much room.
She had to turn herself about cross- j
wise, and then her toes stucK out lilt"
the Icy uir. unless she kept them well
covered up. Hut soon she fell asleep
again.
About midnight she was awakened
by wild cries in the woods outside, and
lay a minute numb with fright before
she remembered where she was. Then
she nudged her great-great-grand-innther
Letltia, who lay next her.
Whut's thut'.'"she whispered, fear

sleepily. Her great-great
aunt Phyllis, the youngest of them all.
laughed on the other side.
'.She's afraid of a catamount, said
she.
.( tltla could not go to sleep for a
long while, for the wild cries contin
ued, and she thought several times that
the catamount was scratching up the
walls of the house. When she did fall
asleep It w'us not for long, for the
tierce yells she had heard when she
hud lirst opened the green door sound
ed ugnin In her ears.
This time she did not need to wake
her great-great-grandmothcr. who sat
straight in bed at the lirst sound.
'Whnt's that?" Ix tltla whispered.
"Hush:" replied the other. "Injins!"
Moth the greut-great aunts were
awakf, they all listened, scarcely
breathing. The yells came again, but
fainter: then again, and fainter still.
Then they were heard no more. Letl
tla's great-great-grandmother settled
back in bed again.
"do to sleep now," said she, "they ve
gone away.
Hut Letltia was weeping with fright.
"I cun't go to sleep," she sobbed.
"I'm afraid they'll come ugaln."
'Very likely they will, replied the
other 1, tltla. coolly. "They come most
every night."
The little great-great-aunt Phyllis
again laughed.
"She can't go to sleep because she
heard Injuns," she tittered.
'Hush, said htr older sister; "she 11
get accustomed to them In time."
Hut poor Letltia slept no more till
four o'clock. Then she hud Just fallen
into a sweet doze when she was pulled
out of bed.
"Come, come," said the great-great-
great-griindniother, (ioodwife Hopkins,
we can have no lazy damsels here,
l.etltla found that her bedfellows
were up and dressed and downstairs.
She heard a. queer buzzing sound from
below, as t he stood on her bare feet on
he Icy Hour and gazed ubout hcr.dizzy
with sleep.
"Hasten and dress yourself. Bald
(Ioodwife Hopkins; "here are some of
Letltla's garments I have laid out for
you. Those which you wore here I
have put away In the chest. They are
too gay. and do not be tit a sober, Ood
feaiing damsel."
With that. C.oodwife Hopkins des
cended to the room below, and Letltia
dressed herself, it did not take her
long. Tliere was not much to put on
beside a coarse wool petticoat and a

llel'er Heell "I eiilllil n't rim IVi.ln III.
Juns in these," thought Letitlu miser
ably. When she got downstairs she dis
covered what the buzzing noise wus.
Her great-great-grandmother wus
spinning. Her greut-great-uunt C'un
dace was kitting, und little Phyllis was
scouring me Hearth. l.oodwlle Hop
kins WU.S preparing breakfast.
"do to the other wheel," said she to
Letltia, "und spin until the porridge is
lon-. We cu'K have no Idle hands
here."
Letltia looked helplessly at a spin
ning wheel In the corner, then at the
great-great-grandmother.
J-t uonr Know hrnvr she- faltered:
Then nil the great-grandmothers und
the aunts cried out with ustonishmetit.
"She doesn't know how to spin!" they
said to one another.
Letltia. felt dreadfully ashamed.
"You must haw been strangely
brought up." said (loodwll'e Hopkins.
"Well, take this stocking und mend the
toe. There will be Just, about time
enough for that before breukfust."
"1 don't know how to knit," stam
mered Letitlu.
Then there was nnother cry of as
tonishment, lloudwife Hopkins cast
about In her mind for another taslt for
this Ignorant guest.
"Kxpluln the doctrine of predestina
tion," she said, suddenly.
Letltia Jumped and stared at her with
scared eyes.
"Don't yon know what predestination
Is?" demanded Uoodwlfe Hopkins.
"No, ma'am!" half-sobbed Letitlu.
Her great-great-grandmother and
her great-great-aunts' made shocked
exclamations.
And her great-great-greal-grand-mother
looked at her with horror.
"You have been brought tin as one of
the heathen," said she. Then she pro
duced a small book, and Letltia wus
bidden to seat herself upon a stool and
learn the doctrine of predestination be
fore breakfast.
The kitchen was llphted only by one
tallow candle and the firelight, for It
was still far from dawn. Letltia drew
her little stool close to the hearth, and
bent anxiously over the flre-llt page.
She committed to memory easily, and
repeated the text like a frightened par
rot when she was called upon.
"The child has good parts, though sie
Is woefully Ignorant," (Ioodwife Hop
kins said aside to her husband. "I
shall bo my care to Instruct her."

THK COAL TKADK. Hani and soft
coal share with sugar the distinction
of being the only markets lu better
shape today than a year ago. Uy this
It Is not meant, says the Philadelphia
Stockholder, that prices uloue are high
er, but that the basis is more Intrinsic
ally sound. There is almost u complete
dearth of news regarding anthracite.
The New York Mureau of Statistics is
quiet iy workiiiMT. but its achievements
are closely guarded, and even the com
panies themselves know only III a gen
eral way what Is going on. As long us
they continue to receive good profits
they will be content with the present
order if things, luike navigation will
open the latter part of the month, and
It will find the trade In better shape us
far as prices and supplies are concerned
than before for many years. This may
be also said of other western distribut
ing points. Steam sixes of anthracite
coal have hud a little setback, owing to
radical changes in the soft coal market,
Incident to the adoption of the agree
ment April 1. Among other things
there was a very heavy soft coal stock
ing movement Just before coal wus ad
vanced. I' M II
MI NINO IN 1KS.-I. According to the
statistics gathered by The Knglneer
lng and Mining Journal in Its annual
supplement. "Mineral Industry." the
total product of the mines of the I'nlted
States in 1 amounted In value to
I:,8,CS!l,r10."i an Increase of $N4,2:!6.fo:l
over the output of 1X94. The gold mines'
or the country yielded 2,2aM2 tine
ounces, valued at $46,830,200 represent
ing an Increase In value over the pro
duct of the previous year of $7,068.9!t3,
and placing the I'nlted States once
more In the lead of gold-producing
countries. Tliere was a decrease In the
quantity of silver mined as compared
with 194 to the amount of 3,D1.640
ounces the product of 1X95 having been
4ii.:i.:i.::5 ounces, valued at 10.254.296.
The coal production reached a total of
196.:t43.000 short tons putting this
cntmtry very near Oreat Britain, and
showing a gain of 26.46S.000 tons over
1594. The most gratifying exhibit, how
ever. Is that made by the Iron Industry.
"The pig Iron production was the high
est on record, amounting to 9.446,:t08
long tons. Here again the I'nlted States
takes first position as a producer, hav
ing made about 1,900.000 tons more thun
(Ireat Krttnin. Its nearest competitor,
and about :!.0ft,000 tons more than tier
many, which stands third. This amount
of pig iron valued at fl08.832.M2. was the
greatest amount ever made in one year
in any country In the' world."

TO our patrons:
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many Ml
rons that they will this year hold to their usual custom
of inillinj; STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, ant)
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers aro
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Wash bur n-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling haa
placed Wnshburn-Crwsby Co.'s flour far above othoV
brands.
