Tnr BASDITOFT1IE AI.I.EU IlT-XItsJ
TbeCstvcra In the Rock a, the Home
of the Banditti.
The taunting aad exultant shout of
tho departino; robber, rungm the ears
oftbe dazed and bewildered traveller
like the mirthless mockery of a de
mon. Imperfectly recovered from
the treacherous blow bo suddenly and
so skillfully dealt by the outlaw, he
yet realized that he was a ruined
man; in niomeuts of emergency the
mind works rapidly and while the
physical still quivered with weakness,
the mental was scheming to revenge
the loss, the blow and more especial
ly the treachery, that had in a few
moments so entirely changed the des
tiny and the disposition oftbe victim.
From a careless, genial-minded man,
whose life though full of ups and
downs, had as yet Vaown no great
sorrow or overwhelming, disappoint
ment, he was almost instantaneous
ly transformed into a moody, revenge
ful being who would etop at nothing
to carry out the plans to which be
from that moment devoted bis life.
There on the ruouauin's side, tho
most impressible of the visible forms
of nature, which but a few moments
before bad been to hi in a scene of
beauty, -that all unconsiouuly to Lira
was an elevating and refiining influ
ence. In the early, cheerful morning
which man's rapacity and guilt had
as by a wizard's blastiog touch chang
ed to the leaden cheerless hue of
ileak December. The positive good
and the better possibilities of hi na-
oflf were by the subtle alchemy
of ev il changed to the worst phases
if human, passion, to which the Ti
rer'a rarc is quietude. He deeply
swore to revenge himself upon Lew
is and bis whole gang, not merely to
have them imp:isoned or killed, that,
to bis swelling rr.ge would have been
too tame, too commonplace. But te
mot, worry, harass, disappoint and
i.iailv destroy when be bad made
tbeir lives a burden and a curse.
Ilia horse seemed to realize that
some great misfortune had befallen
bis rider. All me springiness was
oiiQ from bis walk, and instead of
the proudly arched neck and coquet
sb cbainpiog, it was with a bowed
head and a funeral pace, with which
10 descended the mountain with hi
uetamorpbosed rider. Returning to
tbe tavern where he passed tne night
oefure, he carelessly told them what
aad happened, speaking of it lightly
s one of tbe ordinary incidents or
adventures in a traveller's lL'c, and
merely necessitating a return to bis
western borne and making -another
beginning. Nothing very unusual in
that, in a H astern man 3 experience.
lie onered nis borse lor sale saying
ue could no longer keep him and
that te regretted being compelled to
jart with ins borse more than tbe
loss of his money. The people of
course were both loud and profuse in
expressions of sympathy which he
received very coollv, having fully
convinced himself that they were all
more or less implicated, and for that
eason be pretended to treat bis loss
) lightly. While talking of bis plans,
now loo? it would take him to re
turn borne and what be would do
when he got there, ho was inwardly
demoting them all to tbe infernal dei
ties as beiug connected either active
ly or passively with the robiiers.
The Landlord hospitably insisted
ou his feteppiug wiib Li in tor a duj
or two, to recover from the shock
and to give him a better chance to
sell bis borse. Od pretence that the
rest and care the animal would re
ceive would enhance bis value, but
really in the hope of learning some
thing of the robbers, he consented to
stay and was most kindly treated by
every one. All were, or seemed
anxious to atone in some degree by
by their kindness for the misfortune
be bad met with. Of course the
news soon spread through the sparse
ly settled neighborhood and many
called to condole with tbe stranger.
The robbers and tbeir Chief were tbe
staple, which for purposes of his, own
tbe traveller encouraged and the con
versation confined to that -channel.
Whether be learned anything suita
ble to bis purpose or not, tbe stran
ger gave no sign, but often reverted
to tbe size of tbe robbers, their com
plexions, tc, calling attention to his
own and instituUDc;omparisons with
present and absent persons. That
be was of a florid complexion and
had light colored hair was particu
larly noted and often afterwards men
tioned when this and other robberies
were spokenof. . On leaving, he bade
all good bye and thanked them for
their friendly interest in one never
again likely to travel that way or be
seen'by. tbem, "
And so be passed away and his
adventure was added to the store
ESTABLISHED, 18 2
PA., "WEDNESDAY,
of local incidents that formed the
topics of conversation around the
cabin firesides, for tbe Newspaper for
these people, was not They were
yet ignorant of that mighty, omnipres
ent power that now penetrates palace,
hut, wilderness, that, banijhes loneli
ness and ignorance, shortens journeys,
litrhleus the frlom of! prisous and
lengthens human life ror what is
equivaluut, condenses knowledge and
experience and enables 'the men of
the present to live through and real
ize cvcles of a slower existence, in
moments. Increases the enjoyments,
lessens the labors, enlarges tne
hearts, sympathies and imaginations,
it almost places man beyond the evils
of mortality. And all without one
single draw-back and at a trifling
cost. What the wealth and power
of the Ceasar's could not command
or compass, is at the disposal of the
poorest and humblest, Oh blessed age,
Age of wonders.
When this incident had been dis
cussed sufficiently to Want tbe inter
est and people were getting anxious
for something uew, Lewis and his
ganj 3 were gone to seek aewer and
fresher pastures A ripple of inter
est was excited by the arrival of a
stranger from east ot the mountains,
who annouueed bis intention of "stay
ing round for a while."; He was si
lent, rather gruff and unsocial, very
dark complexioned and many thought
he had been a sailor. He was a
handy sort of a fellow, fell into tbe
way of doing odd-job3 about the tav
ern and was gradually installed as
hostler, occasional bar-keeper etc.
He talked but little iiruself and ap
peared inattentive to the talk around
him; a close observer would have said
tbe inattention was feigned. Wben
strangers arrived, if the conversation
did not turn upon robbers, be manag
ed by almost imperceptible mean3 to
lead it into that channel. Against
courts, iudges, lawyers 'and all con
nected, he seemed greatly embittered
and it was generally agreed he had
at some time suffered great wrong
frofn them. One night in particular
when the house was full of travellers
and numbers from the neighborhood
had dropped in, some of whom were
strongly suspected of being connected
with the robbers. He asked the
Landlord if "the man that rode the
bis iron gray was not" a sherifT?"
Saying that if he was he might curry
bis own horse for he would not touch
him. This merely confirmed tbe gen
eral impression. On another occa
sion when many of these same neigh
bors were present, some one proposed
forming themselves into a company
to catch Lewis and bis gang and get
the rewards. After discussing the
matter for some time, they asked him
if he would not join tbem He in
dignantly refused, and became greatly
excited, said if bo knew. where to find
Lewis he would warn him, and more
to tbe same purpose. ., That Lawyers
and Judges were worse than be was
and robbed more peaple etc, etc.
Trout-fishing that favorite country
sport in which every boy was an ex
pert, had great attractions for the
sombre stranger. His ill uc3e.8S
passed into a neighborhood proverb.
But his interest in the sport and his
demotion to it were unabated. , That
the robbers bad returned to tbeir
mountain fastness was proved to the
people in more ways than one. Our
silent friend if he made any discover
ies kept them to himself. 1 hat the Rob
bcr Chief was fully tir-ire of tbii man's
existence and peculiarities will not
be doubted for a moment when bis
certain aud speedy means of acquir
ing information, are .recalled, lie
bad even been urged to admit him in
to tbe criminal circle, but refused,
saying he could give no reason for it.
but had a most unaccountable fear
of thfs man whom he bad never seen.
For during his not unfreqnent visits
to the neighborhood, Dolph, tho only
lame he gave, was invaribly absent.
Of late, too his best laid schemes were
thwarted when success seemed cer-
ain. Tho temper of the Bandit chief
was becoming, irritable and soured;
his popularity and influence with his
band were waning, their finances
usually flourishing, were running low;
the thief as well as nonester men
found that evils came in troops and
blessings singly. , ,
The acute reader will readily have
discerned that tbe silent and seeming
ly unobservant stranger was playing
a part and will doubtless have identi
fied him with tbe victim to tbe stra
tegic and mimetic talent of the Rob
ber Captain. Immediately npon his
return to the locality, he bad devoted
himself to making discoveries, and
by patient pertinacity bad succeeded
in identifying tbe different members
of the band, in tracking tbem to their
stronghold and familiarizing himself
with minute ana apparently inning
details that would'have escaped the
attention of a less patient and deter
mined investigator. By the aid of a
small but powerful field-glass or a
pocket telescope, he bad at a distance
watched their movements, studied
their pecriliarities so that he felt con
fident of being able to penetrate any
ordinary dissruise. After discovering
the entrance of their Cavern he from
a distance carefully noted their mari
ner of entrance and exit, and flattered
himself that long security and immu
nity and confidence in the inaccessi
bility of their natural fortress of rock
had -rendered tbem careless. On
rnearer approach and more careful
scrutiny h8 found be as m error In
that regard and did injustice to tbe
generalship of Lewis. The nearer
be approached the entrance, tbe more
carefully be screened himself from
observation in tbe branches of trees.
T'was well for him that he used such
great circumspection or his purpose
would have been defeated and tbe
endsof justice frusjated for years.
The seeming carelessness of tbe rob
bers was discovered to bo confidence
in their well-tried and .very' effective
arrangements for protecting them
selves from assault or observation.

cessible only from the top of the rock
of which the robwrs never seemed
to think or care about Where the
smoke escaped, sound might .escape
and if be could only over bear them
and thwart tbeir plans, sow distrust,

punishment would be begun, their
misery and onhappiness assured.

covery be followed by a cruel death.
Securing a long and good rope, and
making himself some strong adjusta
ble hooks be sou eh t out a place of
ascent to tbe top of the rock, after a
long patient and dangerous search.
Tbe hideous, deadly rattlesnake
seemed to be in league with the ruf
fians below and swarming in the
clefts and crevices, made his task
an arduous, and to a less determined
man an impos3iblo one. Nourished
by the greatful beat ascending from
the outlaw's fires, they were differ
ent and more dangerous than the
usually , sluggish snakes in other
places in the mountatis. Other dan
gers and difficulties had to be over
come before be could begin to test
tbe different places be had selected
for listening to their ordinary brutal
and blasphemous talk, and the clear
commanding tones of the leader as he
detailed tbe task and defined the du
ties of each one. He soon learned
enough to enable him to defeat some
well-laid and most promising schemes
and thenceforward had little difficul
ty in hearing all he cared to bear.
The captain gave bis orders in a
louder, fiercer tone. Tbe men growl
ed about him and quarreled with
each other. Distrust hatred, malice
and all uncharitableness were at work
in their hearts. Every evil passion
was at work, gnawing like a serpent 9
tooth, and each separate one bad be
come a demon to lash, goad and
courge the wretches who formerly
had prided in their possession. Tbeir
small but villainous community from
a self satisfied, exultant, purse pioud
one was fast becoming, dissatisfied
cowardly and utterly miserable. Tbe
self complacency of villainous success
was succeeded by as near an approach
to remorse as they werecapable of teel
ing.Superst'tion, that imperfect resem
blance to tbe conscience cf the upright
was lambing them with its shadowy
terrors, fearful from their very indis
tinctness. Sleep instead of being a
pleasant release and a sweet restorer
became a constant and far from light
punishment for tbeir former
crimes. If only honest men could
realize ever so faintly, the constant
and increasing torment of their lives
dishonest gain would have no charms
for them forever.
After numberless failures, to the
thieves, utterly nnaccoutabl, and
why?h tbey were disposed to credit

two of the gang noexpectedly en
countered a man with several hund
red dollars in specie, of which they
robbed him and in hot haste made
their way to tbe cavern, fearing pur
suit, recapture, tbey scarce knew
what, so timid were they becoming.
This unexpected success cast a flood of
sunshine over tbe den, and they boast
fully asserted that their luck had
cba nged, all would go right again.
They enng, danced and shouted de
claring that the 'Mexicans," as they
called the silver, would bring good
luct "to the Minions of the Moon."
Dolph from his crevice in the rock
heard and inwardly raged at their
reioicmsrs. He beard tbe captains
voice 8a ing: "Let the sack lie
there boys, until tbe others come, then
we'll divide the swag, and have a
roaring carouse to night . But well
drink good luck' and plenty of it, to
these gay boys. So come on my
hearties." Instinctively . divining
that they would leave that room or
part of tne cave to drink, and in all
probability the successful ones would
tell the whole story over their cops,
be resolved to cheat tbem out of
their "Swair" or perish in the at

A Darin Experiment.
, Paul JJoynton 19 the name of a
daring individual, who is to be drop
ped into tbe ocean, 200 miles from
the land. He is now at Atlantic
City, N. J., where be is under an en
gagement wi'.h the Camden and At
lantic Railroad Company, to take
charge of the life guard establishment
there. He is an intelligent young
man of about twenty-seven, of aver
age size and . well developed. Tbe
Merriman life-saving suit in which
he will make his hazardous experi
ment,' consists of pantaloons and
boots and a jacket with a hood at
tached. Seven small tubes with
mouthpieces, are constructed with
air chambers in different portions of
the dres3. The hood, as it becomes
inflated, is drawn tightly over tbe
face, leaving the eyes, nose and
mouth , visible, and making a
perfect air pillow for tbe head, which
is not only comfortable, but also
serves to keep tbe face constantly
above tbe waves without the slight
est exertion. C. S. Merriman, of
New York, the patentee of the dress,
has offered $500 to Mr. Boy ri tin to
make a sea veyage in bis suit ia order
to demonstrate to the public its tner
its aa a life preserver. He has ac
cepted the proposal, and on or about
the 25tb of December he will be ear
ried from New York by an outward
bound steamer to a distance not less
than 200 miles from land, when he
will be dropped and left to tbe mercy
of the waves until he shall meet with
some passing vessel. He' will carry
with him in a rubber , bag sufficient
rations, consisting of dried meats,
etc., for one week, as well as a good
vnantity : of fresh water. He will
also carry signal lights and flags,
with a sectional staff twelve feet
long for raising them, all of which
are to be stowed away iu tbe unlim
ited portals oftbe rubber bag, which
is about two feet square, and is of
little or no inconvenience, Btrapped to
and floated at the side of the swim
mer. This feat may be considered
by many as deliberately challenging
death, but Mr. Boynton is very san
guine of success, aod even says that
he would willingly allow bimseU to
be left a thousand miles oat if neces
sary, without the slightest fear re
garding his safe recovery. '

A City Ball by Han.
History affords numerous instances
of the foundation of cities by single
individuals, and tbe beautifying and
enlargement of portions of the same
through the munificence vf others;
but nowhere, as we believe, is it re
corded that anv ne man from his
private fortune has ever attempted
tbe actual construction of a complete
town. All -Aha more remarkable,
therefore, is the enterprise which for
some five years past has been quietly
pursued by Mr. A. T. Stewart, a gen
tleman of whose immense wealth no
accurate information has ever been
made public. Tbe high rates of tax
ation and the subsequent exhorbitant
n uts incident to ownership and oocu-
p ition of dwellings in New York
city, have been the means of virtual
ly banishing a large number of per
sons doing business therein, whose
moderate incomes forbid tbe neces
sary expenditure, to the adjacent
suburban districts, ljence arose a
great demand for cheap homes,, and
as a result, village after village has
sprung into existence in Long Island,
ew Jersey, and in tact at every
point wilhip a radius of forty miles
of the metropolis.
- Mr. Stewart, in view of this con
stant exodus of the city population,
conceived the unique idea of building
a model suburban city where com
fortable homes, provided with all
modern improvements, could be ob
tained at a moderate outlay. Accor
dingly, he purchased a plot of land,
tea thousand acres in extent and em
bracing that portion of Long Island
known as Hempstead Plains. This
is in a compact tract, of about ten
miles in length by one mile in width,
and nearly a perfect parallelogram in
shape. Surveying and staking out
tbe new city followed close upon the
acquisition of the groaad, and the
first work taken in hand was the mak
ing of the streets and avenues, with
pavements, sewers, culverts and con
duits, for blocks of buildings yet to
be erected. Simultaneous with lay
ing tbe foundations of tbe houses,
was the commeocemunt of gas and
water works, aod of a railroad con
necting the city with New York.
Unlike the usual course adopted in
projecting new towns in the vicinity
of the metropolis, no lots were adver
tised; nor has aay attempt been made
to dispose of the property, as it is
tbe inrention to treat the city as a
single house, finishing it first, and
Belling it subsequently. Tbe New
zork bun aptly describes tbe enter
prise as a uew eity Bpringing-up, with
no Mayor or Council, no assessments
for street improvements, no taxes for
water or gas, no entangling alliances
or issuing of bonds to secure railroad,
transportaion, no scrambling or grum
bling to secure immigrants. : .
AO aamirauiyi sept noiei, snuaiea
in the middle of a fine garden plot,
together with some forty houses are
thus far complete. Tbe latjer are lo
cated in lots of 200x200 feet and pro
vided with outhouses and handsome
ly laid out grounds. They reut from
$250 to $S00 per year on three-year
leases, and contain every convenience
found in the "best city dwellings.
Work upon this remarkable town, to
which the name of Garden City has
been given, is rapidly-progressing,
and we understand that tbe advan
tages offered are meeting with a wide
popular appreciation.
' brlvlstc Wat British.
In one of the little villages in Win
chester county lived an . old fellow
somewhat fond ot his toddy, and
hanging around the bar rooms of the
village taverns to bear the gossip,
and occasionally indulge, and some
times to excess, of which be was ai-
tprward verv much ashamed. He
went by the name ot "Old Sam,"
and wa3 really a very entertaining
old personage. He bad seen Gen
eral Washington, and was, according
to his own story, the cause of the
British evacuating the city.
"Come, Sam," some village lounger
would say, "tell as about your driv
ing the British out of New Yotk."
"Well, now, 'squire, I don't exact
ly say that I did do it, but 1 will
give ypu the facts, and yon caa
draw your own conclusions. Y'ou
see, the fact was I knew the British
were in New Y'ork, and 1 knew, and
weullfelt that they had been there
quite long enough, and lor one I was
determined that they should be there
no longer. One night, after we bad
been talking about it some time, be
fore going to bed, 1 said to our folks,
'I shall ride to the city to-morrow
morning, and bo there before day
break; and I shall go armed.' I went
right out to the stable, with a lan
tern, three hours before daylight,
saddled our old white mare, put two
pistols in the holster of the saddle,
and took my father's sword that be
carried at Bunker ITill, and I got into
New York sarly in the morning, aad
the British had left!" .
"Do you mean to say they bad
evacuated the city?". '
"I mean U say they had retreated
gone run away! NowI don't
mean to say the British knew I was
coming, but I do say that it looked
verv much like it."

A writer in a Boston paper says
The changes in - womau's gait are
more mysterious than the trans
formations in her garments. One
year she walks a queen, stately and
graceful; the next she fnsk3 along
playfully like a spring Iamb or a play
ful kitten. Tsow sbe beuds forward,
lets her limp bands drop from tbe
wrists, and wriggles as if she wished
to advertise the fact that her boots
are tight, a thing which is totally un
necessary ; again, as at present, sne
throws her shoulders back and goes
bravely forward with long steps.
The next change must almost inevi
tablv tend to show languishing move
ments. No other stvle of locomotion
will be possible with the narrow
skirta which are to be worn.

Tbe glass tubes, as received, are
about a yard looa. A bov nicks
them with a bard steel knife, and
breaks them into the lengths requir
ed. The bores, which are flat, are
compared, by means of a lens, with
those of ten stardard sizes, and the
tubes assorted accordingly. They
are then passed to the blow-pipe ta
ble. Each glass blower has a foot
bellows, and uses an oil lamr. Melt
ing the glass at one end of the tub,
he blows it into a bulb by pressing
the sides of a boiiow India rubber
ball attached to the other, proportion-
log the size of his bulb to the bore of
the tube, and ascertaining the size
by using a pair of callipers. While
tbe bulb is yet hot, the tube is inver
ted in mercury, which, as the bulb
cools, rises and partly fills it The
tube is then withdrawn and a short
India-rubber tube attached to its open
end. Into this mercury is poured ;
that in the bulb is boiled to- xpelthe
air, which rises up through the m?r-
cury In tbe India-rubber tube, and an
atmosphere. of the vapor of mercury
now fills the glass tube and bulb. As
this condenses, tbe mercurv in the
India-rubber tube takes its place,
when this tube, with any mercury
remaining in it, is relumed, lue
bulb is now warmed, ana the open
end of tbe glass tube hermetically
sealed.
Tbe bulb and a ..ortion of the tube
are immersed in melting ice, and tbe
height cf the mercury marked; tbey
are then transferred to a bath at sixty-two
degrees Fabr., and tbe height
marked; next to a bath at ninety-two
degrees Fabr, and the height again
marked. The lengths of the three
spaces of thirty degress each are now
carefully measured. If they are ex
actly equal, tha bore of the tube is
assumed to be uniform, and tbe de
grees lam 011 on tue -urass scaie 01
the thermometer are all made of tbe
same length. If tbe spaces of thirty
degrees each are not found to be ex
actly equal, then, by means of an in
genious dividing engine, the degrees
on the scale are made to increase in
length as the caliber of tbe tube di
minishes., When the plate bios been
divided, and the figures and letters
punched, it is passed, literally, be
tween rollers, to remove the burr left
by the tools. Were it rolled length
wise, the accuracy 01 toe dividing
would be impaired. The plate is

At fbe departure of the 9 o'clock

th Oil City Derrick, to avoid 11 is

The replies they receive are often
impudent and sometimes amusing;
the destination of many are in such
diverse direction, , notwithstanding

Standing by the door the other night,
tbe replies to the brakeman s ques
tion were quite amusing. Some mut
tered replies quite difficult to under
stand, but which might be understood
to be points down the river. Some
informed tbe brakeman it was none
of bis business. One gentleman
snapped out that be was rroing to
that warm place. The brakeman
said the train for Titusville bad gone.
Another told the inquirer to go to
the infernal regions himself. One
lady said she was going to the abiding
place of angels. She was informed
that that was a through train for
Pittsburgh and did'nt stop at small
stations. Tbey had so few pajjSen
geis for that point it did not pay. A
bystander asked if she had her ticket.
She left, saying she"had,brrt didn't

Tbe Farmer's Friend gives tbe
following incident of American nobil-
Mrs. Florida White, well known ia
the fashionable world forty years
ago, was one of tbe most beautiful,
accomplished, and attractive women
of ber day. She wa3 tbe daughter
of General Adair, and her husband
was Joseph M. White, the second
delegate sent to Congress from the
Territory of Florida
Highly educated, full of genius,
and wi:h the bearing of queen, ber
society wascourted bv the most ele
vated circles ia Washinirton. New
York acd Boston. She was a bril
liant conversationalist, ready and
effective at repartee, and a sincere
warm hearted gentlo woman of the
most gracious and generous impulse.
On one of her visits to Rome she
was presented to the Pope.
"Kneel, my daughter," said he, aa
she stood erect in her imperial grace
before him. MA1' kneel to me except
the daughters of sovereigns."
'I am a princess in my own right,
your holiness," she replied.
"How can that be, arbr-ri you are
an American oorn .
"In my country the people are
sovereigns, and I am a daughter of
the people."
The Pope smiling- a gracious as
sent, rejoined :
"Then receive an old man s bless

Tne Pilgrim and tha Knight.
In a noble castle, there once resid
ed a very rich knight. . He expended
much money in beautifying and
adorning bis residence, but be gave
very little to the poor. A weary pil
grim came to the castlo and asked
for a night's lodging. The knight
haughtily refused bint and said :
"This castie is not an ion."
Tbe pilgrim replied : "Permit me
to ft two questions, and then 1 will
depart"
" L pon this condition, speak, re
plied the knight; "I will readily an
swer yon." .
- Tbe pijirrira tben said to him :
"Wbo dwelt in. this castle before
you ?" .
"My father," replied the kaiht.
"And wbo will dwell here after
you y stiil a.-ked the pilgrim.
The knight said : "With gods will
bit boo." " "
" Well," said I be pilgrim, "ii each
dwells but a time in the castle, and
in time must depart and make way
for another, what are you here oth
erwise thau as guests? The castle,
then, is truly an inn. Why, then,
spend so much money adorning a
dwelling which rou will occupy but
a short time? Be charitable, for he
that bath pity upon the poor lendeth
to tbe Lord, and that which be hath
given, be will pay him again."
Tbe knight took these words to
heart. He gave the pilgrim shelter
for the night, ad was ever afterward
more charitable to the poor.
"See her pallid countenance," the
article begins, and feelingly adds,
"but a short time ago the picture of
ruddy health, tbe envy of the school,
and tbe pride of the household. She
was alwayB welcomed by her school
mates, for ber little form and pleasing
disposition carried cheerfulness into
their ranks. Dilligent, punctual, and
exemplary, obedient and graceful at
home, she won the hearts of all.
But, alas! we are sorrowed. Those'
rosy chicks and ruddy lips are
blanched with consumption. Tbe
voice once so enchanting in laugh
and song is feeble, husky, and sup
p'flnted by a hollow cough. Let ua
approach ber ccucb gently and take

of the passionless grasp. The band
