A HONEYMOON STORY.
'we fkm. oit, v wire and I.
We efit our hnneyinirfin at Pt. P.rid
pi'tn anjier-Marp, and ax a natnral. conse-
(juence we "joarrvleJ. My marriavre with
f t.V'ia Ikjhson wa not !ookel on with
much favor by the greater part of my re-
lalion. We IJluinleils aie, tnowt of u,
j prnud of our family and auctktors. We
j I.iim to be the direvt deceiidanl8 of the
llluiniell who aerenaded Cour de Lion
i out.ii.le his prison window. With the
exception of thin incident, I never could
find out that iuy ancentors had dmtiu
uishe 1 themselves in any way ; but my
aunt Matilda, ho had ai led & guardi
an to nie siuee uiy father's death, never
lst an oj'portunity of impressing nxui
tne that we Blundells were second to
none in point of blood and dexeent. I
eannte now the air of con ious pride
and self-s-atisfuetion with which she al
ways ppoke of " the Family" (always
with; a capital F), si?ttIeJ any vexed
question of etiquette by quoting whatever
had been from tima irnm.juiorUl the cus
om oft',)-! JS.aa IjIU .th r.-trl li liu

It was, therefore, a shook of no ordina
ry kind when I announced my intention
of marrying t'elia Dohson.
The Dobsons were in trade. That wa
enough more than enoUKh, for aunt
Mat. Id . bhe wept, the entreated, t-he
iuiploreil me not to u!ly the 'lory of the
Blundell escutcheon by allying myself
with o te who probably could not enu
merate her ancestors for further back
than a jaltry century.
Cut her expolulationa were all in vain"
I mi my own master. I was head over
heels in love with Celia, and I consider
td that I wa-s on the whole, the bent
jiit-eof h-t would 1 likely to add to
my happinoNi ; and, hatini; informed
aunt Matilda that I intruded to pha
t myaelf on tills CHvaoion, and further add
j ed that it was an honor to the l'.lundelis j

ar wedding tn.k plaee in May a
j pnnerl iajly tmhii ky iimiith but we
i Uith of us aeortied Mich stita-olition.
i 1
j ' ur ori.nal intention had liet-n to Fpetnl
! a firti.i;!.t of our hotieynKxin in I'ari
i and the rviiiaium; fortnight in Ixindon ;
i but Hnii,e short time l-efore our ei.ling
J day Mat (it w I n, Cclia's creat-um le
j and toll tiher, rouft r.ecls take it into
j hia head to oiT-r us the loan of his villa
i at St. r.r:.J,cts-super-Mare. I at t;rt
i for refusine t ith thanka, but Celia's
j inotl-.er, whether from the fact that she
had exjKvUtions from uncle Matthew
and was afraid of otfeDdiiis him, or from
an idea that it was the fashionable thing
to do, pre axed Celia to accept; and I I
as far too happy to care very aich
where I went, no long as Celia went with
me.
So to St. Bridgets wc went. I mnt My
the weather was mont unkind to us. The
first two days of our stay at Montenotte
las Mr. Dobeon had culled his villa) were
days of continual rain, utterly precluding
any idea of leaving the house ; and w hen
the third day came and there was still
no sign of a clear, I lepan to rrprvt that
I had given up our Paris arrangement ko
easily.
The house was comfortable enou;h ,
but to me, who have always Let n to a
mild extent a follower of the esthetic
school, the style of furniture was depress
ingly ugly. The royal blue repp cur
tains of the drawing-room, and the corner
brackets covered with emerald green
velvet, and trimmed with macrame lace,
ttet my teeth on edge. The walls were
spattered with plates, most ot them of
absolutely worthless china, and Mr. Dob
son's artistic j roclivities wVre further evi
denced by a badly-modeled alabaster
Cupid and IVyche. under a glass shade in
the middle of a large mahotrany table and
an undoubted (!) Carlo I'olci Holy Fami
ly which hnng over the fire-place, care
fully shrouded from view by a red mo
reen curtain. As I look back to that
room in my mind's eye, I consider that I
had some excase for feeling out of teui
jkt !
I do not think I should have been so
much aggravated by my surroundings, if
I could have, so to speak," let oil steam,"
by expressing my horror of them to Cel
ia. I'.iit she a p .eared quite satisfied, even
deiighted, with everything; and I ask
any married man if there is anything
more trying to mortal fibre than to see
the, wife of your boeoin calmly, placidly
giHHl-tempered, when you yourself are
seething with fupprersed ill-humor?
I made one attempt to improve matters
tiy suggesting that it might lie a g)od
plan if we were to put away in some box
the white crochet antimacassars with
which the drawing-room was plentifully
adorned until we were going away. But
Celia IooVed puzr.ied.
" What a funny idea, Iick ?'' she said.'
" Why should you want to do that?"
"They will get so dirty, you know," I
prevaricated feebly.
" Iut you st a iid Imy, they w ill wash
beautifully ! Uncle Matt would never
have left them here if he did not wish us
to use them."
I saw she wao hopelessly contented and
walked away to the window with my ir.
ritation driven inwards and therefore,
like a rash under the same circumstan
ces, much more dangerous.
Whatever poets may say, May is not a
pleasant month, esjiecially by the sea
side. As I looked out now, I saw be
oreiiieadull gray world. Heavy gray
cloui'.s overhead, heaving, gray exparsj
-of sea below. The tide was out, and to
right and left, stretching aw ay as far as I
could see, a long reach of sandy shore
pleasant enontrh, doubtleev, in summer
time, but njw looking drearily uninter
esting, as the waves broke on it with a
monotonous, melancholy swinh.
A cold northwesterly wind was driving
the rain against the windows, and the
trees bowed and swayed and flung op
theii arms, as though mourning for the
early fate of their beautiful young leaves,
which the wind was recklessly tearing
lrom the parent rtetn, and strewing on
the ground.
" Xo going out for us again to-day, as
far as I can see," I said gloomily.
Celia sighed sympathetically.
" It is too bad, isn't it?" she 6ad. "Ami
I had set my heart on a ride with you
Dick! Wasn't it kind in Uncle Matt to
Somerset
SOMERSET, PA., AVE DX E SD AT,
send down hi two horses for us? I do
love riding ; don't you, Dick?"
She walked over to the window and
ltieil her hand caressingly through my
arm ; but I was longing for a plausible
grievance, and the fact of not being able
to find one made me twice as irritable its
liefore.
As she seemed to exnect an answer, I
said, wiih that particular "dumpy"
sound in my vo:cc which is so discourag
ing to an interlocutor :
" Oh, I like riding well enough when
1 have good horses."
" Well, I urn sure I.'ncie Matt's " she
began, but I cut her nlmiL
"Your Uncle Malt's b rses are a couple
of old sciews. I went to look at them in
the stable yesterday."
She looked vaguely bewildered at my
tone of voice.
Why, what is the matter w ill you,
Dick? Has anything annoyed you ?
Here was uiy opportunity.
" Anything annoyed me "V I burst out.
" Isn't it enough to annoy any fellow to
be cooped up iu a confounded hole like
this, with nothing but that beastly sea
and sand to look at outside, and a room
like this to live in?"
Celia looked hurt and indignant, and I
say the glimmer of coming tears in her
eyes.
" What is the matter with the room?"
6he asked. " I am sure I see nothing to
grumble at I do not think I ever looked
in a nicer room than it is!"
" Very likely. But. my d.-ar Celia," I
continued, with a patronizing tone w hich
tiiunt have been infinitely harder to bear
than even my simple bad temper" My
dear Celia, 1 am afraid you have slid a
great de-.il to learn in the matter of artis
tic taste." And I looked around the room
with an expretatiou of 'lofty contempt.
" lh, as far a artistic taste goes, l 'i k,
I am sure you are wrong, for Uncle Ma'.t
is evtr so artistic. Why, he draws and
paints himself!"
" I have no doubt he is a second Ktij h
!, I sneered, tmt lie iI.k-j not know
ho to choose hi car ts an i curtains !
Look at that anil sh.-k the folds of
bole repp savrgely ; "and that!" and I
kii ked viciously at one uf the blue
which, with a yellow (lower as yet un
known to laitanists, mtandcrcd over the
carpet in profusion. " 1 you mean to
ay you do not . the awful vulgarity of
it? I'.ut, returning once more to theen
ragingly patMiiii ng ti no. "yon are a
I'-iundell now, my dear Celia, and you
mut just try to forget everything you
ever learned as a IMoii as fast as ever
yotf can."
Ce'ia tired up w ith an unexpectedness
' which took nie aback.
"If you are going to say nasty things
about my family, Dick, I shall ci i tainly
not stay to listen to you. If you think
fo little of the Dobsons, I woader you
married one of them! And as to forget
ting all I ever learned as a iKibson "
By this time the angry tears were run
ning down her cheeks. "There is one
thing I was taught which I should lie
very sorry to forget, though it seems to
have been left out of your education, and
that is gratitude."
My heart and my conscience both
smote me at those words. I said noth
ing, and she turned from the window
and resumed her work w ith feverish en
ergy. I could see by the agitated way
in which the needle was stuck into the
material and then smipptd out tigain
that her feelings were very considerably
milled.
I made one or two attempts at starting
a new topic of conversation, but was met
with chilling monosyllables. At last I
said:
"Celia, dear, I am sorry if I offended
you just now. I should not have been so
cross if my digestion had not been upset
by being shut up for nearly three days
without exercise, and eating too much
wedding cake."
I tried to finish my sentence with a
semi jtcose expression. But I got no an
swering smile from Celia.
"It would be much belter to saddle
the right horse, Dick," she said sternly,
"and say that your temper got the better
of you. We IVibsons may be a very in
ferior, vulgar race, but thank goodness
we have not got the Iilundell temper!"
"Oh, very well !" I said, shortly. " I
see you wish to quarrel so I shall leave
you to yourselt to recover your temjier,
Iobson or Blundeil. whichever it may
be!" And I walked out of the room,
slamming the door after me, and feeling
half sorry and half glad that Celia had
scorned the olive branch of reconcilia
tion I had held out to her.
I now had a fairly plausible grievance
at least I thought I had and I thrust
my arms into my mackintosh and took
mr umbrella out of the stand with a
grim satisfaction in the thought that my
going out in weather like that driven
out into it by my w ife's obstinate refusal
to make friends I should probably
catch a bad cold. All the dramatic pos
sibilities of this imaginary cold flitted
before my mind's eye in pleasing succes
sionchills to the liver pleurisy rheu
matic fever. " IVrhajis she will be sorry
then !" I muttered to myself as I shut the
hail-door behind me, and walked osten
tatiously under the drawing-room win
dows, whistling as I went, and striving
to impart to my features a perfectly un
concerned, amiable expression. I thought
I heard a tap at the window, and my
name called, but I would not look up,
and strode on with as much dignity as I
could command.
Once out of view of the windows, I
paused to consider in w hich direction I
should go to look for the pleurisy and
rheumatism which were to bring my er
ring wife to a sense of her misdoings.
I might either go down to t'.ie sands,
which, as far as I could see, outlined the
coast under the dark, -overhanging cliUs,
or I might follow the main road which
passed through the struggling village on
into the country beyond. We had come
by it the night of our arrival at St. Bridg
ets, and I had a vague remembrance of
somewhat monotonous, and undulating
downs. But just at this moment the rel
ative merits of inland and coast scenery
interested me comparatively little. " I'll
toss up," I said to myself. "Heads the
road tails the sands."
Heads it was, so ofT I set along the
road. I passed through the village and
walked on for some distance, mentally
anathematizing Matthew 7lon for
having decoyed we into such a dead
alive place. Nothing could be more de
pressingly common-place than this well
kept road, with its close-cropped downs
ESTABLISHED 1827.
on each side, sad its telegraph poles re
curring at regular intervals. But any
great wealth of scenery would have been
thrown away upon um just then, for all
my faculties were employed in a hand-to-hand
encounter with the elements.
The wind seemed to take a malicious
pleasure iu trying to tangle mo up in my
macintosh by driving the flapping tails in
bettveen uiy legs, and by getting under
the ca8 and whirling it over my head
and about my earsiu a most bewildering
fashion. Then, ho sooner had I reduced
the cape to comparative submission than
a strougergust than before lilted my hut
off uiy head and. tent it spinning along
the road iu front of me.
I know no tune when a man looks
more thorough!? ridiculous thau when
he U in pursuit of i ruaaway haL With
that lieudisii delight it waits tiutil you
have actually stooped to pick it up, and
then how aggravalingly it bouiuld and
skims along lor a few more paces, only
to repeat the same process, until some
kindly eddy carries it into a corner froiu
which it cannot escajie.
No less than three times did the wind
play me this nasty trick, and at lost, in
desperation I drew out my silk handker
chief and tied it securely over the refrac
tory head-gear and under my chin, pain
fully conscious of what my appuarance
must be, and devoutly thankful that by
no poswibility could Celia see lue from
the villia winuoars. With such a get-up
dignity was incompatible, and I hud
come to the conclusion that a mixture of
dignity and injured innocence was the
most fitting attitude for me to adopt to
wards her.
I was now able to look about w ith tol
erable comfort. I was going up a slight
incline in the road. Ou each side of me
were the varying, undulating downs, but
certainly the road was considerably nar
rower than that upon which I had ret
out to walk n lun leaving the vil
lage, and the telegraph loies, which I
had then noticed, were no conspicuous
by tiieir aiseuc. 1 was puzzled to ac
count for this at first, but then remem
bering the chant after uiy hat, I came to
the conclusion that in the excitement of
one of them I must have strayed otf the
main road on to a side one.
I w as all the U tter pleased. I was sure
to meet som-Minn, or lo pass some cottage
here I could ask my way home, and, in
the meantime, tlie uncertainty as to.inv
n hen-abouts gave just that dement of
interest to my walk that had Int-n want
ing before.
Altogether, I felt in better spirits. I
had walked off my bud teinpei to a g reat
extent, and begun to think that perhaps,
after all, 1 had been a triile unreasona
ble and rude to Ceiia. A feeling of re
morse at having loft her all alone inliie
stupid little villa took ostssion of me,
and I would have turned straight back
by the way I had come to seek for rec
onciliation, if a sudden bent of the road
had notbronghfr-me unexpectedly in
view of the sea.
I must have been walking in some
thing of a riug, and also must have been
gradually ascending since I left the vil
lage, for now I found myself on the top
of one of the c lilfs overlooking the sands.
The road here took a sudden dip, and
apparently led down to the shore by a
series of rather steep zigzag-t.
It would nowr, it seemed to me, be
much shorter to make my way home by
the shore. At any rate there w.ts a cot
tage a little way down Ihe hill, and I
could find out there which was iuy best
way to get back to St. Bridgets.
I was pleased tosee, as I looked around,
that on all sides there were the signs of a
clear up on the par of the weather. The
wind seemed to have goneiound tosome
more favorable point, for though still
blowing hard, it did not now bring with
it the driving showers of rain. The clouds
out to windward were I lifting, and there
was even every now and then a watery
gleam of sunshine. The fresh salt smell
of the seaweed, which was wafted up to
me w here I was standing, was invigorat
ing, aad the occassional scream of a sea
gull a -i it dipped up and down on an in
coming wave had a peculiar charm of its
own which I could not help being con
scious of.
I hurried down to the little cottage.
The door was ajar. I knocked, but no an
swer. So I pushed it upon and saw seated
lieforethe (ire an old woman, who ap
parently did not hear my entrance, for
she went on with her kitting without ev
en turning her head.
"Good evening ma'am," I said.
Still no sitn that she heard nie. I
walked over to her and gently touched
her arm. She started roun I then,
and her bojl of. woisttd jun i td elf her
lap and rolled on the l!oor. I picked il
up for her.
"Can you tell me which is the nearest
way to. St. Bridgets?" 1 asked.
" Kh ? " sue answered, putting her hand
to her ear.
" Which is the shortest way to St.
Bridgets? " I leiterated loundly.
" Aye! thee must speak louder if thee
wants me to hear. I'm an old 'ooman
ninety-one come Miclnelmas and I'm
deaf these twenty years and more. Xay.!
Nay !" as. I made another equally fruit
less attempt to make myself heard ; " if
there's auicht thee wants to knowtbee'd
best go dow n the shore.' Bill, he's there
and a fine lad he is, though 1 say it as
shouldn't, being his mother. I'm an old
'ooman, I am ninety-one come Mich
:elmasand "
I did not wait for further reminiscences.
I saw it was hopeless to elicit further in
formation from her, and set oir to the
shore, trusting to find "Bill" and to
get mere lucid directions from him as to
my best way home.
I had not walked far along the sand
w hen I came upon "the fine lad," a gray
haired man of about fifty, who was at
w ork repairing a boat that was hauled up
on the shore.
" Whereabouts is"St. Bridgets, and can
you kindly tell me the best way to get to
it? I asked him.
He stopped in his work and looked up
at nie from under the brim of his " sou'
wester." "Aye, aye, sir! I can tell you riht
enough. St. Bridget lies just around
that poin of land as you sees beyond you
there."
" Thank you," I said "Then of conn?,
it w ill lie much quicker for me to walk
along the sands than to go back by the
road by which I came down past your
cottage." .
"Not a bit of it, sir!" You will just
have to go back tho way you came."
AUGUST 7, 18S9.
" But, my good man, that point of land
'in't lie more than five hundred yards
off, and if St. Bridgets is only a little the
other side of it, it must take me a shorter
time to go this way than to return ail
that long way by the road."
" For all that, sir. it is by the road vou
mait go. I see you're a stranger here, sir,
or you wouldn't talk so calm of walking
to St. Bridgets over the Witches' Sands,
the awfullest quicksands along the coast.
The Lord help you, for no one else could
if you get into those sands! "
" Quicksands ! " I said with a gasp, as I
thought that only for my chance meet
ing with this man I should, in all proba
bility, have wi I ked on unconsciously to
an awful doom. " IK) they lie between us
and the point?"
" Yes sir."
I looked along the level sands. The
rain had quite Mopped. The sun was
low down on the horizon, and the wet
sand was gleaming in the setting rays.
Here and there the retreating tide had
left pools of water behind it, and in these
I could see the letlectioii of the iale yel
low band of light, in the middle of which
the Bun was sinking to rest. To my eyes
it all seemed one long even stretch, with
nothing to tell of the treacherous sands
which were waiting to swallow up the
unwary traveler.
" Ah, sir! you might look a long while
afore you'd see the Witches' Sands," said
Biil, interpreting my puzzled expression.
" There's but one mark you can steer by
Heaven's danger signals, I calls them.
IV you see, sir, a white mark there dow n
the face of the rock, about one hundred
yards this side of the point, an 1 another
mark the same aU.ut WO and 50 yards
along from where you are standing
now. Well, you're safe enough so long
asyou don't get inside either of them.
They're some sort of while mossas grows
down the ci ill, and only for tliein there's
many a one would have lost his life.
There's some of them foolhardy chaps as
d n 't seem happy unless they're putting
their precious lives in danger, without
givin a thought to the mother or wife that
is mav'.ie dei-rndin' uieii them, as has
climlied the w hole way along the face of
theclilf. round to St. Bri.lgests. But you
see, sir. t!ie cliir hangs over a giant bit,
and 'tis nasly shaley sluir, as gives no
grip for hands and feet, and if it gives
way under you down you go, straight
on to the quicksands, and then nothin;
but a miracle could save you."
" Well," I said, "it is most fortunate I
met you here, for I should most certa:nly
have tried to find iny way across the
sands. It is a great shame the author
ities do not put up a notice board to
warn jieople of their danger."
"Aye, sir! there was a warning board
np al! through the summer, but the first
s.r.-i in the winter carried lt away ; and
you st, sir, it's only once in a way as
visitors comes here afore June or July;
so I suppose as how they thought it
wasn't worth while to put It up so soon
like. And so-4-"
He stopped short and shaded his eyes
from the dazzle of the setting sun.
"Good heavens!" hetjaculuted. "What
is that? Can you see, sir? My sight is
not as good as it was. Is that anybody
ridin round the pint?"
A sudden, sickening presentiment came
over me. My heart gave a Isttind, and
then seemed to stand still. I shaded my
eves, too, ami gazeo out to the point.
'nelook was enough. I sprang for
ward with a scream. "Stop! Stop!" I
shouted.
For in that one glance I had recognized
beyond doubt the outline of Uncle Matt's
ewe-necked mare, silhouettedawith pain
ful distinctness against the pale yellow of
the sky, and riding her slowly in ourdi
rection a lady w ho could be no other
than Celia.
The concentrated agony qf years seem
ed to be all crowded into that moment of
time. "Man!" I cried, clutching Bill by
the shoulder, "that is my wife!" My
wife, I tell you? Then, letting him go, I
waved my arms wildiy. " Go back ! go
back!" I called.
The wind blew the words down my
throat. And still I could see Celia slow ly
but surely approaching the white mark
" Heaven's danger signal."
With no distinct idea of w hat I meant
to do, I was beginning to run towards
the advancing rider, still waving my
arms as though to push her back from
her awful fate. Bill caught me by the
sleeve.
" What are you doin', sir? You won't
save her that way. If she sees you at all
she'll more likely think you are beckon
ing her on than telling her t) go back.
There's only one tiling you can do, sir.
Kunfiryour life till you get within a
couple of yards of the white mark near
est us then take to 'he lock", the way I
was telling you just now, and mayhap
mayhap you'll get across in time.
I heard no more. I had torn off my
coat and hut and was flying along to
wards the w bite mark at racking speed.
It did not take roe long to reach the
spot where I must leave the sands for
the rocks. Before lieginning my jierlious
climb, I cast one hasty glance in Celia's
direction. Was I already too late? No !
thank God! A hysterical sob of joy arose
in my throat as I saw that some whim of
the moment had induced her to stop in
her onward way, in order to try to oblige
her horse to walk into the sea. I had
just time to see that the horse was restive
and kept backing away from the advanc
ing waves into which she was evidently
bent on urging it, and then my whole en
ergies of mind and body to lie concentra
ted f.n the difficulty of making my way
along the shaley face of the cli If
Rising straight np from the sand for
about twenty feet was a sheer, smooth
slab of rock, which afforded alsolu!e!y
no foothold, but above this came the
strata of shale along which I w as scramb
ling as best I could. The overhanging
cliff above me looked as though it were
longing to fall over and push me down
dow n on to the horrible, hungry sands
below. The shale cut my bandsand broke
away from under my feet at each step,
and all the time there was the haunting
fear that I should be too late; that be
fore I should have got up to the sec
ond white mark, the sands would have
swallowed up my darling forever. I re
membered our quarrel with a sort of dull
distant pain. Oh, if I could be in time !
How could I endure to sr through life
never knowing whether she had forgiven
my hasty words, or whether she had gone
to her awful death still smarting under
their injustice.
I could only have been about ten min
xie
utes, but it seemed to me to lc hours
before I at lost reached the irtrsy
white mark, which showed me I had
come to the edge of the quicksand. It
was only as I crosed it and scrambled
down to the shore below that I dared to
see if my worst fears had been realized.
How can I describe the revulsion of
feeling when, as my feet touched the
sand, I heard Celia's laugh, and liking
up saw her on the ewe-knecked mare
within a yard of me?
Why, you silly boy ! "shexc'aimtH!,
" what ever made vou came that way? I
have been waiting here for t he last three j
minutes, expecting every second to see i
you como tumbling down. You ought ;
to take better care of yonrself, now you j
are a steady married man." j
I could say nothing. I staggered like a i
drunken man. For three minutes si
had leen standing there within a fe
yards of certain destruction ! It made j
me dizzy and faint to think of the nar- i
row cess of her escape.
At last I managed to say hourc!y,as I !
too!; hor horsc'v head and turned it home-
wards :
" How did you come here ? "
" Why, can't you sec ?" she said, puz
zled at my manner and n:y while, scared
face. When you left me in that very uii
gallant way this morning. I had to find
some amusement for myself, so I h id tho
mare saddled an.! came out for a h'.t.o j
ride on the san-l-i."
"Oh! may da. ling' my ilar!;n,' ' can
you ever forgive me?" I cried, br.kenlv.
And then, by degrtcs, 1 toll her of the
horrible danger that had threatened her,
of my agony, and of my almost desjir
ing climb along the clitf.
Her face paled. " My poor Do k ' " she
said, a she laid her hand on my shoul
der, . " And to think how cross I was to
you ! "
"Cross!" I exclaimed. "No w inder,
when I " But she stopped nie gent

"Ion't let us L!k of it any more, Di.-b.

ed away a few tears, " it was really

had quarrelled, we should have gone out
riding together, und should isjlh of us
ha-e got into the quicksands."
" Well," I returned. " the next quarrel
might not be so provide ntinl. We won't

And, in spite of the " Blundell tem

The Prisoner or Forton.
From tile ?nnny ITonr.
Th of you w ho have h u! grandfath

prisoners of war when they were cruis

heard, I do not doubt, of t ie prison of
Forton in England. It was in this prison
that the American prisoner, taken at sea
were kept. And a very bar 1 time they
had of it until Franklin was at la.-t able
to arrange thit they should be exchang-
ed for prisoners taken by Jcncs and oth
ers from English ships.
One of the prisoners in Forton, w ho
remained there eight.en tut nlhsonnre,
was Captain I-ee. of Marbiel.ead. The

The whole experience was as great a
wonder to Captain lae us if the stranger
had been atl angel sent froi l heaven, as
in a certain sense he was. Heaven is
very apt to send as its mtssengers the
persons w ho have been moved by kind
ness done to them.
It proved afterwards that the myster

General Burgoyne. He also had been a
prisoner of war. While he was at Cam

under the immediate charge of Colonel

When Burgoyne was ex hai g-d he hud
promised Colonel I.ee, for whose kind

would render any service in his power to
the prisoner at Forton. Coir nel Lee had
intrusted to him the 75 guin-as which he
had delivered to Captain lore, and it was
he who hud whispered the valuable
countersign to him.
Strategy and Tactics.
A battle does not consist, us many im
agine, in a grand r.dvance of victorious
lines of attacU, sweeping everything be
fore them, or the helter-skelter flight of
the unfortunate defeated. The historian
must so present it in his descriptions, the
artist in his paintings. Evei the writer
of an otlicial account must 1 uiit himself
to the presentation tf such moments as
demand special treatment, or to such ep
isodes as involve important and int lnu t
ive tactical movements. All those events
w hich are less striking, whidi pass more
quietly, but which, nevertheless, con
tribute to the final result, cannot lie re
produced without to) much expansion.
Those im idents which no a count of the
battle, olhi'ial or unoilicial, takes any
note i f the thous ind and one events ob
served only by the participants, the in
numerable cases in which the direction
and control of a'lairs glido out of the
h;;nds of the olii -ers these are the little
drojis of water that make the mighty
ocean of battle and determine victory or
defeat.
He Heard About Hia Crave.
" Do you know my grave was dug in
this tow n during the war f r me to le
buried in?" said a gentle nan in mr
olhce last Thursday.
" No, sir; we never met you liefore."
" Well, it was. My name is Crane,
and I was sergeant in company G. One

in a hospital in Marietta, and heard Ihe
doctor say to a man who entered the
room : " How many graves i,re you hav

'Well dig one about a fot longer
than the nsual length, for that tall ser
geant w ill lie dead by morn ng,' and the
insi ructions were carried out, but you see
I did not till the grave."
" No, you don't livik like t resurrected

In !) the whole number of emigrants
from Ienmark to the United States was
only a little over W.ooo, including Ice
landers ; but since then the total has
been about doubled, and among the new
settlers are many Icelanders also, though
their most numerous colony is in Mani
toba. Earl DurTerin succeeded in bring
ing them to Canada by strong induce
ments, and on our side an eir.irt was
made in 1S7I5 to direct a stream of im
migration from Iceland to Alaska, though
without suci-ess. But, under leaders of
their own, they have established a col
ony in Dakota, one in southwestern Min
nesota and there is a settlement at ( ireeii
Bay. Altogether they number as yet
only a few thousands ;n loth this roun

stirred up among ltiv.ui ilitring the last

and from the days of Eric the lU-d, the
father of Leif Ericsson, who landed on

years before that of Columbia, the Ice

Scandinavian jnople for their home lov

These immigrants from Iceland come
from a region where they never have
seen a rtal tree, a road or a plough, and
yet it is remarkable how scam they adapt
themselves to their new surroundings.

If more of the farmers and business
men throughout the country knew the
value of and the adv. intageg of having
first-class driving horses there would I
more of this kind found in the hands of
those who till the soil for a living. The
unalloyed pleasure of being able to puil
the reins over a horse that is w ell trained
and well adapted to road purpose ought
to hi incentive enough to make farmers
want to possess something line in this
line, but the pleasure atforded in this
connection is but a small Jiart of the con
sideration. Incitie9 and businysw cen
tres the distance from one jioint to anoth
er is often designated by ttie number of
miuutes it takes to travel it. Thus a res
idence is from three to five minutes' from
a railroad station or a street car line,
meaning thut it takes so many minutes
to walk to the station or street cars. If
farmers reckoned the distance they live
from their market, pOsto!!i.:e", churches,
etc., they then might appreciate more
nearly the value of horses that travel
well. A horse that will travel ten miles
while another travels im. six, will plui-e
his owner just as near his objective
points, reckoning in this way, as the
owner of the slower nag, although then
mav be a dilft-rernv of four miles be
tween them. This lieing true the ad
vantage of having the better clas of
horses is apparent. hmiftUU Ourur
