"Ami now,' said tlie Governor, gazinsa'jroad
on t!ie .ild-up store
Of the sheave that dotted the clearing, und
covered the meadows o'er,
" 'Tis meet tliaf we render praises botanic of
this yield of grain; ' ,
'Tis meet tliat the Lord of the harvest he
tlinnkcd for his sun and rain.
'And ihereT.ire, I, William Bradford, (by
the grace of God to-day,.
And the fninehiiie or thisgjod jieojilo), G v
crnor of riytnouth. sny "r
Thro virtue of vested pntver ye shall gath
er with one accord, . .
And hold in the mnnih of N'ovemW, tli.mka
giviiij; unto the Lord.
"He hath granted us teneo and plenty-, mid
the Uirt we've sought so long:
He hath thwarted t'.ie wily av.ie. and kept
him from doing us wronjr;
And unto our Feat the Sachem shall lx
hidden that he may know
We worship his owu Great r-pirit who muk
cth the harvest grow.
"So shon'dar your matchlocks, maMcrs
there is hunting of all deirrees;
And fiV wnien, take your taqtV, and scour
for ?fiil the sens;
And niaidni ' and dames of Plymouth, your
delicate crafts eniplcy.
To honor our First Tliank.-sgivin, and make
it a Feast of Joy !
"We fail of the fruits and dainties so i-We
to our hand in Devon;
Ah, they are the lightest loses we stilTrr
for the sake of heaven !
Bat see, in our open clearing, how iro'den
the melons lie;
Enrich them wil'.i sweeis'and s)ices, and
give us the pumpkin pie."
So bravely the prepj rations went on for the
Autumn Feast; .
The deer and the bear were alaiuililered;
wild jiarue frora the greatest to least
Was heaped in the Colony cabins; brown
home-brew served for wine,
And the plum and grape of the forest, f .r
orange and peach and pine.
At lenrth came the ray appointed; the snow
hail begun to fall,
But the clang from the rneeting-hou-'-c liel-
fry rang merrily out for all,
And summoned the folk of Plymouth, wh
liastened Willi glad accord
To listo"n to Eider Brewster as he fervently
thanked the Lord. -
In his se?t s.tt Governor Bradford; ir-irn,
mat mm and maidens fair;
Miles Siaiid'sV and" all'liTa soldiers, wiih
corselet and sword, were there;
And nobbing and tears and gladness had
each in its turn the sway;
For the grave of the sweet K we Standi.th
o'eishudowed Thanksgiving Pay, .
And when Mesasoit, the Sat he:o, sat down
with his hundred braves,
And atcof the varied riohe of gardens and
woikIs aud waves.
And looked on the granaried harvest with
a blow on his brawny chest, .
lit; muttered. "The good Great Sp r.t loves
His while children the Ik-si!" - . .. .
Aud then, as the Feast
iiukd, with
gravely nflkial air,
The Gofcrnordreve his broadsword out from
its mahliard there,
And smiting the trencher near him, he cried
In heroic way,
nail! I'ie of tht Tuiupkin ! I dub the
Prince of Tiiankgiving Day!"
Wide Awakf.
THU KKEPEU'S PACGHTER.
A lighthouse on a rocky coast
Outside, thunder, lightning, wind
and rain, and great black waves
lashing up against the rocks at the
foot ol" the tower. Inside a winding
flight of fctaira leading to an octagon-
haped room containing the plain
est furniture. The occupants, a girl
of eighteen, tall and lithe, with black
hair hanging in massive braids to
her waist, and luminous gray eyes
under btraight black eyebrows.
Her dress of gray water-proof cloth
was short and 6cant and hung in
wet folds about her limbs : aud
strangest of all girdles, a coil of rope
encircled her waist and trailed one
end on the . floor.. Bv her side a
boy of fourteen years, with his blue
blouse ojien at the throat, ana a ta-
ded plush cap on his dark curls.
These two were bending over a man
who lay in all bis magnificent
ength on the floor, a picturesque
looking man, witb fair hair clinging
in dripning masses to his forhead ;
a curling golden beard and a white
firm throat, and one might be it-
uaded that the closed lids with
their long fringes covered a pair of
steel blue eyes.
"Beckon he s a coner, l.iz,"said
he bor. ns he paused in his vigor
ous rubbing of the man's hands.
The girl was forcing some liquor
from a tin cup between the blue
lips and did not answer directly ;
but when her patient gave tne uuni-
est possible sieh. she exclaimed
joyfully; 'iSee, Neddie, he breathes!
Aow work last," whereupon tney
both fell to rubbing him at a great
rate.
When Allen Mclntvrc opened his
eyes he looked about him confused-
y. The odd little room, tne gin
with the black braids, the boy look
ing 60 like her' that one would at
once recognize the relationship, the
drenched condition of all three, and
the strange languor that through all
his frame what did it mean ? He
closed his eyes wearily, and then
the boy spoke up in this bluff fash
ion : . '
'Vou came near going under,
cap'n, but Lizzie pulled you out"
Then Mclntyre remmembered all,
and languidly "raised himself into a
sitting jtosture.
"It is too wild a night to be afloat
in a little craft like that," said the
girl, making a "gesture seaward,
where a tiny boat had broken np
before. ,
"It was fair when I left the shore,"
replied the man. "I ventured furtl -er
then I intended. Then the wind
went down, and 1 could only drift
until the storm arose. I have a rec
ollection of a fierce rush of w'md
and wave that upset my boat, and a
blow on my head, probably from
some part "of the boat as I went
over."
Ym.h paid the bov there came a
flash of lightening, and Lizzie and I j
looking out saw the boat capsize.
So Lizzie caught ft rope ana ran,
and I after her. We're used to that
sort of thing eh, L5::zie?" Lizzie
nodded and the boy continued,
animatedly: "You see, my father
oilier:
SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAYNOVEMBER 30, 1881.
keeps the lijrht. but he is sick or
gone to the mainland;-and-we've
pulled out more thifYt one fellow
i more than half lead. Who"
"Never mind that, Neddie, inter
rupted hid sister, ' gently, and the
unspoken reproof in her voice had
the cfi'ect of making the lad look
shamefaced as lie went hack to the
first part of his etorr.
'VeIl. sir. we ran down the slope
I at the 'side of the cliff out there
where the waves were tearing ip
like KyXX) wild horses. ' And every
time it lightened we could see you
bobbins around out there like a
piece ot cork. , We were nfraid of
vour striking acainst the ledges,
Lizzie fastened one endoftheropo
umurid her' waist, and I held the
oiher while she went straight in
and htruck out for vou.
".Mclntyre uttered a low exclama
tion and turned liia ht;ad from Jseu
die to Neddie's sister. The boy
wagged his head proudly.
An, haul tie w iui gleaming eye,
"thitl's nothing fir our Liz to do ! She
caught vou and I pulled you both
in. But j'ou re., monstrous heavy
I thought we d never get you up
StNifi."
Mclntyre laughed as he rose rath
er doubtfully to his feet
'"1 tU;l a trille shaky,", he eaid,;
and then. "It U easy to see that
you are brother and sister. I am
Allen Mclntyre,; at your service,
Mis. Lizzie, and he bowed in a
fasliion that gave the lie to hiit dec
laration of hhukiness.- ."Of course I
realize that you and your gallant
brother here have rendered me a
great service one for which you
shall not go unrewarded, although I
can never hope to fully recompense
you."
Lizzie raised her he;id haughtily
"Sir, such work as we have done
to-night we do not for wages. If
vou it-el strong enough I will walk
with you to the house. I think the
storm is passing over. We live a
quarter of a mile from the light
Oar accommodations are plain
enough, but there is no other house
on the island.
Oh, I am ar good as ever, now "
said Mclntyre: hut will vou leave
this hoy here all alone?"
She smiled.
' "Ned is not afraid and he can
tend the light as well as I."
"Very well, I will go with you."
lie waved a smiling adieu to the
hoy, and followed his guide down
the narrow stairway.
Two davf later t small boat put
out from the isl ir.d, which when it
returned, brought Melntyre's lug
gage, .
Lizzie fatht r, who was laid up
with an attac!; of rheumatism, had
taken a fancy to the young man,
who expressed a desire to spend a
few weeks there at any price they
may charge. Captain Clyde straight
way ordered Neddie off in hia new
boat to the mainland for the gentle
man's traps. The youngster obeyed
this order with alacrity, for the
good humored ease of the stranger,
together with the appreciation of
"our Liz," had wrought favorably
on our Neddie. Even the maiden
aunt, who kept house, smiled frosti
ly at the prospect of this pleasant
ad lition to their family.
Mclntyre, who had been wander
ing about three or four hundred
miles from home in search of a quiet
place to spend the summer, congrat
ulated himwlf on having drifted to
the very place.
"Although it was an expensive
style of drifting," lie remarked, with
a smile, as he enclosed a bank note
in an envelope, to lie sent to the
owncroftbe little boat which had
slipped out into the waves abreast
of the light house.
A week later, as he sauntered
shoreward there came to his ear a
wildly sweet strain of melody. As
he listened in amazement, for he
had teen no musical instrument
about the place, he began to realize
that it was' part of Straps' artist
waltzes that he heard a strain that
he often whistled. ' He stepped
round the junting of the cliff, and
there leaning against the granite
wall, was Lizzie her chin dropped
carelessly, on a little red violin, as
she drew the bow across the strings.
"You whistle'd that the other day,"
shft faltered, "and I liked it so much
it haunted me all the time."
He stepped forward.
"Why, Lizzie, is it possible j'ou
play like that without notes?"
"I don't play much, now," she
said, drawing her dark brows over
her eyes. "A party of ladies and
gentlemen came here to visit the
lighthouse once and overheard me
playing. I heard one of .the ladies
sjiy : 'The idea . of a girl with a fid
dle!" So I thought may be it
didn't look welL"
"Not look well, indeed 1" and he
laughed. in merry scorn. "Why,
child, did you ever hear of Camilla
Urso?"
"No."
. "Well, she is a lady, and she
makes the most exquisite music on
a violin, and ; thousands of people
go to hear her. Why Camilla Urso
hirself would listen with pleasure to
your mnaic, Lizzie." said Mclntyre,
cxtravugautly. 'Who taught you
how to play ?"
''No one." - This violin belongs to
my father, and he learned me how
to tune it I pick up tunes that I
hear, but' I never heard anything
halt so beautiful as the tunes I hear
yon sing and whistle."
Mclntvre smiled : his repertoire
of music consisted of 6natehes of
operas, waltzes, redowas, and Ger
man airs; which were dimly asso
ciated in his mind with nights of
brilliant gayety; and ho wondered
dreamily how this pure minded
healthy souled girl would look upon
the elegant dissipation carriea on
by the set of which he was a favor
ite. ' A " sudden clow warmed his
heart as he thought that not one of
the fine ladies, who had swung lan
guidly through the mazes of that
very waltz of the great composer's
could have rescued him so bravely
Irom the jaws of death as Lizzie had
Lizzie who stood there so quietly,
with her little violin hanging from
her breast, and her fingers straying
lovingly over the strings. ;
"Tell me about Camilla Urso,"
she said, presently. "Did you ever
hear her play?" " '
mi
KST-AJBLISHED, 1827.
"Yes, indeed ? I havo a paper in
my trunk containing a little sketch
of her life, which you ma v read for
yourself, and which can tell you
better than I cani of her great tal
ent." 1 i '
For a moment Lizzie's eyes met his
own, a look of fehutnc and distress
gathered in therh.
"Mr. Mclntyne, that will be of no
use I cannot read."
"Liz2ie!" llct violin slipped from
her grasp and would have fallen to
the ground had riot Mclntyre
caught it, and she covered her face
with both bands., ' -
"But. Lizzie' persisted her com
panion, in some perplexity, I df not
understand. There are good public
schools in the city, and surely your
father must have known that it was
his duty to cive a girl like you an
education, to say nothing of Neddie,
who is growing Uj such a splendid
voung fellow."
It ia very kind of vou to say
such things oi .Neddie and me, we
. a i Si a
are common people, and ours is a
common life. Neddie did spend
twojeara with our uncle who lived
in New York State. He went to
school there. But father doesn't
think much of book learning Aunt
Jane never had time to help me,
and Neddie is too restless to kecD
still long enough, I suppose." She
continued quaintly. "You who
live out in the world look at these
things in a different ' way; but I
know of many who are just where I
am. Uhv, there s a whole lamily
on that island," pointing to a tinv
speck away to the eastward, "who
cannot read or write." Once in three
months, perhaps, they go to the
mainland. I scarcely ever go. I
suppose l sh;ui always live here,
and I am contented, I think," and
a look of doubt gathered in her eyes;
"At least I was. But lately I have
wished so much that I could read
and write, and had books for it is
so lonely here in the winter."
"Well, dear child " said the
youngman gently, "this gives me
the privilege of paying my debts,
doesn't it?" ' f
Your debts ?" echoed Lizzie, in
surprise.
' Certainly, Uid vou not fash me
out of the water a week ago? Well.
now, you will, put your six feet of
driftwood to some service. I will
teach you to read and to write."
After that Mclntyre proved the
most faithful of teacheis, and his
pupil made steady progress with
her lessons. Neither was the violin
any longer in disgrace. Lizze play
ed to attentive ears while learning a
deeper lesson than either at first
realized. Mclntyre was the farstto
wake up. He -was a man of the
world, and understood himself, or
thought he did thoroughly. Ao
eordingly he parted ono morning
for a stroll along the beach to think
over iL.:. 2-. .'.'J
"As the caso now stands" he eo-
iloquized, as he lit a cigar, and
threw the match away, "it is cither
Lizzie or the world ; and . I confess
the world has charms for me."
His gaze wandered absently over
the swelling waves, and lingered on
far oif sail that dipped and rose,
ipped again, until it Bank below
the horizon. Ilia lips curled invol-
untarilv as he thought of the dele-
ito ladies in his get, and how
wretched they would make the poor
girl's life in their own high bred
fashion. No but would they,
though?"
A famt amused look lingered on
is face as he recalled Lizzie's rather
tately carriage and dignity that re
eemed her lrom being common
place. He laughed out
"It would bo fun to see her among
all those peacocks. Poor Lizzie!
What shame that she has been ne
glected ! If she had received half the
advantages of any one of my ac
quaintances she would have sur-
assed them all. YV ell, well, it is
high time I returned home. I have
been here six weeks. Yes, I will go
away to morrow and forget her, as
she will forget me."
So saying, Mclntyre threw awav
le end of his cigar, and started

coming driectlv upon th object of

and frOj drawing primitive music
from her violin. She wore a scar
let jacket over her gray dress, and a
white hankerchiet tied under her
chin. His heart throbbed faster
at the sight of her.
Fool !" he muttered, "to think I
could leave her. Now 4hcn my
man,
'It's all for love, and the world
well lost'"
Lizzie greeted his approach with
a smile, but plaved to thecmseof
the strain before she spoke It was
a iittlo German air that he had
taught her.
"Is that right?" she queried, as
she finished.
"I cannot tell you."
Then, meeting her look of aston
ishment with her own earnest gaze,
he said :
"Lizzie, will you care very much
when I go away from here?"
Her eyes dropped, the red blood
dyed her cheek and ' brow for a
moment and then faded away, leaV'
ing her quite pale.
"I think it will be well for you to
go, she said.
"And why, Lizzie, will you tell
me ?" You need not fear to tell me
anything," he added as she hesita
ted. She looked away from him, and her
voice was almost inaudible as she
answered :
"Because because Ob, I cannot
tell you ! You know " .
"I have thought of going, Lizzie;
but I have realized to-dav that I
cannot leave you ever again, dear."
He put one arm around her, but
she drew away from himt trembling
from head to foot
"Don't Mr. Mclntvre ! 1 want to
rember you kindly, and I cannot ifl
you use euch language to me."
"For heaven sake !" he cried, irt
astonishment, tell me, have I said
anything wrong to you? Is it wrong
to love you ? If that is a sin, then I
am the greatest of tinners."
"I do not forget that you are a
gentleman, and I a poor, ignorant
girl, who knows only what you
taught her." ' -
"But lizzie, I
ask you to be my f
wife, and you have not answered
me. I do not boast when I say my
suit would not be rejected in most
e rir e , . - . , .
lumiiies oi nign standing where i
am known." '
"Ah, that is the idea," she ex
claimed, hastily; "if as you say,
you do care for me" she stammer
ed a little over the words, "you
would soon gror weary of my stu
pid ways. I should shame you
every day of your life, and your
grand friends would wonder at
your choice, and I should die of
homesickness." '
"With me, Lizzie?"
"Yes even with you !" smiling and
blushing as she met his eyes.
lie laughed he was bo euro of
winning her and kissed her mouth.
"Well, sweetheart, I will live
here, then, and turn keener of the
light after your father. Will that
suit you ?"
Dor.'t deceive yourself. Mr Mc
lntyre. We would not be happy
together, and think how terrible it
would be bound together forever."
He laughed exultantly and with a
great deal of amusement
"Faith ! I think it would be
a mighty pleasant thing. . Come
Lizzie, you can deny me no longer.
Do you not see that your own hap
piness depends upon your answer?
Now kiss me, dear, and tell me that
you will take the life you were so
brave to Save into vour owu keep
ing." . -
He drew her gently toward him,
but she faced him suddenly, with
great tears trembling on her long
lashes.
"Do you think it cost me noth
ing to refuse you you who have
made. my" life so beautiful these few
short weeks?. I am rudo and igno
rant such a wife would burden
and disgust you in time. It is lor
your good that I refuse to accept
what seeras like a heaven to me."
And then, swift as a' deer, she
flew along tha shore, leaving Mcln
tyre to struggle between anger,
amusement and wounded self-love.
All that day he tried to speak to
lizzie alone, but she gave him no
oportuiuty. At last in every des
peration, "ha tapped at the' door of
her father's room. Captain Clyde
was again . suffering with rheuma
tism, and the young man lound

hovering about him.
."Captain Clyde" said Mclntyre,
as he blocked toe doorway with his
hroad Bhotldera to prevent Lizzie
from escaping..,"! wish tosay'a
few words to your daughter in your
presence, since she refuses to grant
mc that privilrgo elsewhere."
"Say on, my la.i, she would be
proud to hear whatever you have to
say to her."
"Well, Lizzie, I will go away
from here to morrow, and stay as
long a you bid me. When the
time ia up I will return to claim
you for my wife." You shall see
that this is no idle, passing fancy."
His eyes grave and sad, rested "on
the girl's flushed face, and the bluff
captain's ryes widened in amaze
ment "Speak out, gal," he commanded.
"Have you anything to say to this
young man, who wooes you like a
gentleman ? Shall he come or no ?"
And Lizzie answered with down
cast eyes : "If he cotnes one year
from this time, and still cares for
me, I will be ready."
"And is that all. Lizzie?" he
said, stepping toward her witli out
stretched arms.
"No, I'll be bound r said the old
man, with a sly twinkle in his eyes.
"When I went courting, my girl
used to kiss me." And reaching
over he gave lizzie a pushthat sent
her into the" arms of her lover;
whereupon they all laughed, and
Lizzie, after kissing Mclntyre, shylv
slipped from the room.
'

A Fatal Drenm.
At the foot of one of the promon
tories of the Sierra Madre, near the
town of Hidalgo, in the northeastern
part of Mexico, dwells a man named
Agnagetti. - He is over eighty years
of age, and his tall figure, white hair
and patriarchal air gives him an in
describable appearance. With the
exception of his wife, he lives en
tirely alone in his cozy log cabin,
subsisting, for the most: part, upon
the proceeds from wild animal skins.
But his lifo has not always . been
thus entirely desolate.
Only a few yeara ago three child
ren brightened their humble home
two boys, Gabriel and Ernst, and
one daughter, Julia, a raro wild wood
blossom. Her large black eyes and
luxurient tresses, coupled with a
captivating manner., that ever car
ried sunshino and happiness with it,
won the heart- of many of the oppo
site sex in that section the lortu
nate suitor, however, being a young
man named Antoihe betacci, a very
forest Apollo: in factthe very sort to
win a young girl's heart The Ag
nagetta family, were anything but
pleased with their daughter's choice,
; and spared no means to break off
trie attachment the lovers had lor
each other. Entreaties and threats
were alike unavailing on Julia ; the
former giving her courage to plead
for Antoine. the latter making her
ding closer to him. "I will never
give up Julia," Antoine was used to
sav when questioned on the mat
ter. i ' :
When they foiled all efforts use
less, the lauuly resorted .to more
violent measures. Gabriel A gnaget-
ta met Antoino one day m' tne for
est, and a desperate fight ensued,
m which both were badly cut and
bruised, but in which Gabriel was
decidedly worsted. This event
stirred up additional bitterness, and
for a time threatened to draw oth
ers into the quarrel, and eventually
result fatally.
Julia hought to pour oil on the
troubled waters, and her gentle
words melted the. hardened natures
that evil passions had filled with
wrath. There was a reconciliation be
tween her brother and lover, and a
general rejoicing in consequence re
sulted, when an event occurred
which changed amity into distrust
and suspicion. This was no less an
event than the sudden and mysteri
ous disappearance of Antoine Set
taci. ;
He was last seen alive in the for
est Ksyond the mountains on the
tratk for game, the most rigid
search failed to discover him or any
traces of his whereabouts.- He had
dropped out of sight and life as if
the earth had opened and swallow
ed him ';p. All sorts of stories were
rife. Or j said that he had run away,
still another that he was purposely
hiding himself and would soon re
turn. Bat time went on,- and he
neither came nor was heard of. The
suspicion that he had met with foul
play gained ground rapidly, grow
ing into certainty in the .minds of
very many persons. Ot course tia
briel Agnagetti was accused of the
murder, and though he strenuously
denied the charge, the evidence was
strong enough to warraut bis appre
hension. Once in the meshes of the
law, it seemed as if a hundred cir
cumstances came up, all crying
trumpet-tongued, 'guilty.' Various
persons had heard him threaten to
kill Antoine; that voung man him
self said that he did not consider
his life safe so long as Gabriel Agna
getti remained in tbc neighborhood.
Even Gabriel s father admitted re
luctantly tht his eon had declared
his intention of riddling Antoine
with buckshot, while Ernesto cor
roborated the parent's statement.
The coils of circumstantial evidence
closed tighter about the young man
and beyond his own assertion there
was nothing to be said in refutation.
The blow had iallen on Julia wita
crushing effect The sudden disap
pearance of her lover, the arrest ot
her brothar 011 the charge oi mur
dering him almost drove her insane.
She, however, shared the popular
belief that Antoine had been mur
dered, and that her brother was
guilty of the terrible crime. Urged
for her reason tor her beiiet, she to
nally admitted that it rested upon
the slender foundation of a dream.
She added that on the night follow
ing the day upon . which Antoine
had disappeared she had a dream
in which she saw her brother and
Antoine engaged in a violent quar
rel. The men were in a dark ravine;
there was a mountain to the right
and a deep, dense forest to the left
She heard their words; she saw Ga
briel strike Antoine with the butt
end of bis rifle and fell him to the
cartd. That blow was fatal. An
toine never spoke afterward. Ga
briel hid the body in a dark cave
in the woods, and there it still re
mained. This dream made a pow
erful impression on the young girl,
and though many were disposed to
laugh at it, it told tremendously
against her brother, and nothing
could shake her faith and confidence
in its horrible reality. She insisted
that it was true, though no traces of
the body could be found in . any ol
the numerous mountain caves after
most rigid search, and the vision
rested only on her individual state
ment But her faith gave it untold
powers; her acts seemed to confirm
her belief. From that moment she
was a chauged woman, slowly she
pined awav. The color faded from
her cheeks, giving place to a death
like pallor: her step, once light and
elastic, became slow and languid ;
her eyes had lost their tender glance
and sparkled rith an unearthly
luster. She uttered no complaint
Like the girl who loved the unfortu
nato Robert Emmet, she passed to
her early grave forgiving all, beloved
by every one, the victim of a broken
heart
Shortly before her death Gabriel
Agnagetta broke jail and lied to
Texas, his brother Ernesto going
into exile with him. This settled
all doubt as to his gniltor innocence.
Flight was accepted by all as a con
fession of guilt Liberal rewards
were offered for tho capture of the
brothers, Ernesto being considered
an accessory to the crkne,but neither
was ever aprchended. .

escaped arrest and fled the city. He
i was subsequently captured and lodg
ed in iaiL One morning he was
found dead in his cell with bis throat
cut from ear to ear.
He had found a piece of a soda
water bottle in the comer of his cell,
and with it ended, as was afterward
discovered, a life blackened with
crime and profligacy. Gabriel died
from the effects of his wound, and
Ernesto two days later fell a victim
to that dreadful scourge, yellow fe
ver. Years later, when the main actors
in this strange episode slept in their
quiet graves miles apart when in
terest in the scenes we have related
had almost died away or was recall
ed with eye to the hunter's fireside
the mystery surrounding the dis
appearance of young Antoine was
brought to light recently, while a
party of hunters were pursuing some
game many miles from Hidalgo,
they found the re mains of the un
fortunate man in a cave in which
the animal they were pursuing had
established its lair. There was only
the ghastly looking skeleton of a
man, a rust rifle , and rudely carv
ed in the yielded rock upon which
it rested were these words : "Lost ;
can't find my wav out Antoine
SettaccL" That was all, but it told
its own story. It solved an enigma
that dad darkened many lives. It
cleared from the foufstain of mur
der, though too late, Gabriel Agna
getti and his brother.
This is the life history a record
which by the way, is authentic, and

The Way Women Bom a Pillow.
Among the recent inventions is a
pillow holder. It is explained that
the pillow holder is for the purpose
of holding a pillow whil s the pillow
case is being put on. V' tru?t this
new invention will no come into
general use, as there ie no sight
more beautiful to the eyes ol man
than to see a woman bol ' a pillow
in her teeth-while shegei y n nip-
ulates the nulow case ot . it. e
do not say that a woman is beautiful
with her mouth full of pillows. No
one can ever accuse us of saying
that, but there is something home
like and old fashioned about it that
cannot be replaced by any invention.
YV e know that certain over lastidi-
ous women have long clamored lor
some new method of putting on a
pillow case, but these people have
either lost their teeth, or the new
ones they have bought do not grasp
the situation. They have tried sev
eral new methods, such as blowing a
pillow case up and trying to get the
pillow in before the wind got out,
and have tried to get a pillow in by
rolling up the pillow case until the
bottom i." reached, and then placing
the pillow on ono end and gently
unrolling the pillow case, but all
these schemes have their drawbacks.
The old style of chewing one end of
the pillow, and holding it.the way a
retriever dog holds a duck, till the
pillow case is on, and then spanking
a pillow a couple of times on each
side is the best, and it gives thc wo
man s jaws about the only rest they
get during the day. If any inven
tion drives this old custom away
from us, and we no more see the
matrons of the land with their hair
full of feathers and their mouth full
of striped bed ticking, we shall feel
that one of the dearest of our insti
tutions has been ruthlessly torn
from us, that the fabric of onr na
tional sunremacv ha received a sad
blow, and that our liliertien are in
danger.

There occurred at Martinsburg,
! Va., in the summer of l-SCt, one ot
j those fitrargo duels that sometimes
! take place in battle, and which make
i a lasting impression upon the mind
! of the looker on. It was on the lSth
of September, the da? before Early
j and Phil fousht their first pitched
battle A force of caTalry and in
jfantry had that morning tn sent
j to capture the Frst brigade of Aver
i ill's division at Martinsburg and tare
i Sheridan's right Had the move
ment been successful, the Lmon
position atBerryville would have
been rendered somewhat precarious.
But the troops which had been en
trusted with the. safety of the point
were no none guards : they Knew
the value of the prize contended for,
and were prepared to make the rebs
pay dearly for every inch of ground
they gained. The charging and
counter-charging were disgustingly
frequent, and many were the deed
of personal daring that transpired as
the tide of battle surged from .street
to street and out upon the open
field.
About the middle of the afternoon
there came a lull in the struggle, a
if each side had stopped "to pant a
little" before making son Sual and
desperate struggle to crush its ad
versary. It was during this inter
val of "comparative quiet and inac
tivity that the duel referred to took
lace. In front, and a little to the
eft, of the Union line there was an
elevation where once, at the begin
ning of the war, perhaps, there had
stood a goodly growth of forest
treet , which had been cut down and
hauled away. The stumps were
still standing and afforded good
ehelter'to skirmishers. A squad of
cavalry belonging to a Pennsylvania
regiment was sent to occupy this
eminence as a sort of flank guard to
the Union line. The rebel sharp
shooters at once opened fire upon
them and soon made the position
untenable for the Union squad,
which then moved further off to get
out of raagedeaving behind them one
of their comrades, whose hone had
been wounded by the sharpshooters.
The Yank seemed to be in no hurry
to leave his unfortunate horse, and
was leisurely removing the saddle,
bridle, etc., when he noticed a rebel
cavalryman approaching with the
evident intention of making him
prisoner. It was about this stage of
the game that the attention of those
of us upon the left was called to
witness what was transpiring.
The Yank took shelter behind a
tump, and at once opened fire.
His nrst shot killed the reb s horse,
and then he, too, got behind a
stump. The two men were not more
than 200 yards apart, and each of
them seemed to realize that he must
conquor or die. The Yank placed
his hat on top the stump, and im
mediately the reb shot it off. Neith
er of them could expect to get away
until the other was either killed .or
badly wounded. Neither could ex
pect "to kill or cripple his adversary
unless he should make what w s
called a close shot, for both men
were careful not to expose any more
of their person than was absolutely
necessary while taking aim. They
fired perhaps a half dozen shots
apiece, when the reb resorted to a
ruse. He remained quiet and inac
tive for some moments, carefully
concealing every part of his body
from the view of his opponent The
Union soldier began to suspect that
his last shot hod done its work, and
growing inquisitive no graauauy

well. His Sharpe's carbine was al
ready in position, and when the
Yank had exposed his head and
?art of his chest the Johnnie fired,
he shot took effect in the Union
soldier's cheek, and he fell back

reb go to him, lift him up in sitting
posture, and help to bathe the ugly
wound; then, when he had render
ed his fallen foe all possible assist
