KY t;)IiE I- CAMPKKI.U It was a great, old, rambling houe tuidiy in neitl of repair and it stixsl hi the midst of a little grove of giant pine and wide spreading lieeches that threw over it an uncanny and iiiiwhoh-sntne shadow. lU-yond it the fu-hU Htreteh ed away to the wood in a rough and rather dreary picturcsiuenes8 that was often changed to a scene of the w ildcst beauty when the nuKtn burst out from a mass of tawny clouds and let a flood of liquid silver down over the stumps and crags and the wild-waving arms of uprooted pines and on to the forest running dow n to a mystical linxcand distance in the valicy. The house was occupied by the team ster and the young man from the city and his family. The teamster bad la-en in bed aud asleep for two hours past. He always slept soundly and rarely stirred exevpt at intervals when, with a convulsive but unconscious move ment, be would raise himself in bed, turn a half-somersault and land on his other side to the imminent risk of the old-fashioned cord bedstead on which he reposed. The young man and his wife had also retired and were just composing t'.ieia aclves for sleep when a knock sounded tin the door that fairly shtaik the house, followed by a masculine bellow of ''Hel lo ! there!" "It's Emily," growled the j-oung man getting out of tied. "I wonder what the devil's up now." The knock was repeated and the M low sounded again. ".Say, are you all dead in there ?'' "No, I'm coming," yelled the young man in reply a-" he .-truck a light and opened the door. Two women pushed into the house without ceremony. One wasa tall gaunt specimen of humanity with an eagle nose, sharp t-yes and a mouth like an inverted U that closed in bard and tense lines under the bouutiful sprout ing of an incipient moustache. She was masculine by nature, and iier training had taught her to swear like a triKtpcr and bold her own with any man. Tiie other women was small and shriveled up, with a look of vacancy in her eyes that had come from years of sizing on the bare walls of her cabin on which was depicted no dream or hojie for the future. "Is Dell home?" asked the tall wo man. "Yes he is in lied," answered the young man. "Well, they want him to go out for Jim and Mary Carlield Ikt kin's lievti shot and they want him to go after them." "Who, tiarfU-ld ?" iieried the young mail. "Oh, Dell I see. How did it happen?" lloth women started to tell the story, but the masculine voice of the tall one, Emily, drowned the other ouL "They sent him over to the ostofllee this eveuin' just afore dusk. He didn't want to go ami took a gun along and don't know how to use it more'n a baby. He hain't liecii to any houses and they've hunted all over for hint and hain't found him yiL He's shot himself, that's what he's done." "He'd be scairt to death, anyway, by this time," chimed in the other women seeing her opportunity. "You know he hain't bright." "Oil, he may turn tip all right yet," stt id the young man cheerfully, "I'll see what IX-1I says." He went up stairs to the teamster's room and rapjied on the door. "What's wanted ?" growled a coarse voice on tiie other side. "Dell, they say Ciarfield Itex kill has shof himself, and Emily and Mrs. Dag hoii have come to get you to go after Jim and Mary. They haven't found CSarfleld as yet, but feel confident that he has either shot himself or died of fright, and they want the relatives notified." A volley of strange oaths came back through the keyhole. "Tell them," growled the teamster, "that if they want the rest of the family shot I'll get up." The lied squeaked as the teamster rolled to a new position, aud the young man descended the stairs to break the refusal as gently as possible. "How far is it to where Jim is work ing?" he asked. " 'Bout seven miles," answered Em ily. "Yes? Well, IK-11 thinks it's most too far to go until they are sure (Jar field is dead." Emily rose from her chair, walked to the stair door aud threw it ojten with a bang. "Dell !" Her voice surged up the stairway and thundered into the room beyond. "Well, what is it?" "He you a goin' fer Jim and Mary ?" Xo answer. "You forgit about when your father and mother died, don't yer?" bawled the woman. "Hut Ciarfield haiu't dead yet," growled back the teamster. "How do you know he hain't dead? That hain't what ails ye ! Yer afraid Jim Deegan I'll catch ye and lick ye again ; that's what's the matter with yer. He wasn't afraid of ye, was lie? Didn't run from ye, did he? Laid ye out like a little man, didn't he d ye V The lied squeaked savagely and un holy muttering fell through the regist ESTABLISHED 1827. er, but the teamster ventured no reply. Emily turned away and wtt down again letting her head drop moodily on her hands. You had letter rest here awhile," said tiie young man aoffy. "My wife will make you a cup of tea, and I'll alip over to see if they have found t!ar fiel.L Outside the moon was shining bright ly, the air hung hazy in the distance, but was cold enough wiihal that the young man buttoned up his coat and stepjatl out briskly. His course led him through a stretch of woods by a large farm, on by a grove of beech and maples, aud past the iaker meeting house and school gleaming a brilliant white in the 'moonlight. Another farm house and then thelteckiu home stead, where all was light a;id excite ment with the wailing of women drift ing tiut on the nighL The young man understood the signs so well that he stopped not to inquire, but hastened on. A long curve in the road, a dm from the hill down into the valley and there on a bridge spanning a turbulent j little stream was a crowd of a dozen j men. A large, burly blacksmith, the appa- rent leader of tiie crowd, was address ing the men : "Now, boys," he was saying, "we've bin over the hull road, and inter all the n leaders and we hain't found him yiL Now the next thing is to tackle these woods. We'll all spread out and go right through them and back again, and if we don't find Mm we'll know the reason why. First we'll all holler agin." The yell that followed was enough to wake the dead, but elicited no re sponse. Then a youth shot oil" an old musket he had purloined for the oc casion and got kicked by it into the creek for his pains. In the general laugh that followed the party separat ed aud the young man found himself iu the wake of two itieu whom heat last recognized w ith a start. They were both Dutchmen, one a burly broad-shouldered six-footer, a (junker and happy in the recent ac quirement of his second wife. The other was small, slim and wiry, qtiick-tciiiH.-rvd and mad.y jealous of the other for marrying the woman ou whom he had liecn wont to liestow no small degree of afTi-ctitm of iiis own. The conjunct ion was ominous. The big man's name was (Seorgc, the other's Augustus. They pushed through the bushes in silence for a time, not notu-ing the young man in the rear, and then the little man opened the ball : "I subbose yoj feel lK-ttygood now days, Meester Illone ?" ' "Don't meester me," growled the big man, "call me Sdiorge, plain Khorge." "I'laiti Shorge, yah ; tain plain you vere veil you vas courlin' Katrina! New clothes, new lioots, smelliii' salts on your hair, shust like von big turkey cock! Plain Shorgt; bah tain !" "Thee hadt as fair a show as I," re turned the (Quaker stiflly. "Me a fair show? Yat aboudt all tier lies you told? Toldt her I had ! von vife living yet in th-r old country, von vife alretty in dis dot I vas " "I only toldt her tier truth !" thun dered the (Quaker, turning squarely upon the other. "Dor truth?" screamed Augustus. "iVr truth' You lie!" With a mighty bound the little fel low sprang upon the Quaker and clutch ed him by the throat. Together they writhed to and fro and then just as the young man was hast ening forward an awful howl arose upon the air, a gun was discharged under the feet of the combatants, a dark form rose suddenly from the I ground lietween them, forcing them apart as it dashed away and full into the arms of the young man, who was thrown to the ground with something he knew not what in his grasp. "It's him," yelled the Quaker. "It's CJarfiel.lt !" The young man kicked and swore anil finally succeeded in rolling over andgetting to his feet, still retaining his hold on the hapless and frantic Ct ir field. "What the devil is the matter with hiiii, anyway?" grumbled the young man, as the two Dutchmen came up. "Yy, can't thee see he's a!ni st scairt himself crazy," said the Quaker. "Yah, ve know all altoudt it, don't ve, Meester Illone?" cried the little Dutchman insultingly. The big (j biker reached out and caught the other by the coat collar, lifted him from the ground and held him at arm's length. "( Jus, veil I saidt I told herder truth I meant vat I said. Veil I tell thee now dot if thee ever speaks mit me again I vill break every bone mit thy body I means dot, too ! Now go !" And with that he raised him a kick that sent the unlucky Augustus into a heap of dead brush, from which he emerged and slunk away a wiser and a meeker man. Then the big Quaker turned to the trembling boy : "Vat for vere thee hiding Garfield?" "I was afraid they'd lick me," blub bered the boy. He was about 1, with a vacant expression about his eyes that bespoke but a weak mind, with a face illumined now by abject terror. "Dot's vot I tought. Hut never thee mindt," he went on kindly; "dey von't lick thee now." The others now began to arrive on the scene, foremost among whom was the boy's father, a tall, hard-featured and red-haired farmer. When the situation was explained to him he started angrily toward his son. "Hidin', was ye? he cried; "I'll hide ye," and he raised a heavy stick above his head. Now the big Quaker had not long been a member of that sect and at times rase superior to his relig on, which allowed biiu not the priv ilege of an oath. He stepped between the father and the son. "No you don't, bj- tani ! You got von fool in thy family alretty, hain't it vy you wane to maKe anoiner oi thyself?" The other glared at him savagely, but there was something in the big Quaker's solid poise that caused him to lower his stick aud turn away. A call was then sounded aud when i rARCII 25. 181)0. all the searchers had arrived the man-h homeward wait taken up. When they part til with Hcakin aud bis hoy the Quaker remark'-d significantly : "Thee hadt U tter forgit to lick bt boy, Heckin. If I should hear about it I might forgot vonce more I was a Quaker." The young man scpura'ed from the others and returned home. As he opened the d.air and entered the larg? old fashioned kitchen he was snrpri-M-d to find the teamster sitting iu sullen silence by the stove, while Emily was delivering a homily to the others for his bcnefiL "Mrs. Hcakin sez I never knew sich a trial, and Iji-st told her that if it was anything worse than when they fetched Dan'l home I'd like to know 1l Found him layin' dead in a field, 'way in the night, right in the middle of winter, anil snow on the ground a foot deep. Trial, tiniphj she don't know what a trial is. Hev they .ouii-1 his body yit ?" "Yes," returned the young man "we found him hiding in the woods. His father had evidently promised him a thrashing ami he was afraid to return home. He's all right." Emily received the news w ilh a blank stare of amazement, but the teamster burst into a loud aud malicious laugh. "Just like the darned fool," he grow I cd. "I knew it would turn out that way. And he laughed again. Now Emily could not appreciate his lack of delicacy, but in her own way it afl'it teil her just the same. Her stupor of amueiuent and disapxintmc lit de veloped suddenly hit phenomenal energy. "Laughm' at it, are ye?" she scream ed, and the next instance there was a cyclone of calico in the airla-aring toward the teamster. The stove around which they were sitting was an old-fashioned wood stove with the oven on the top and con siderable space la-tweeii it and the Hoor. Not I icing in a pisition to jump over the stove or get around it the teamster dived under it. His chair thrown back by the abrupt and forceful departure tripp-d Emily up, who fell to the fioor and clutched frantically at the teamster's legs that Were just disappearing under the stove. "Take her oil'," yelled the teamster. "Laugh again, will ye?1' hissed the woman. "For heaven's sake !" cried the young man, -'get out of that! If that stove should fall on you it would kill you both." "Sarve him right if it did," gasjed the woman panting for breath, but hanging fast to the man's heels. "II 1," yelled the teamster kicking still more vigorou-Iy and finally re gaining his HU rty by leaving a p:ir of socks in Emily's bands. Once on his feet again he dashed barefooted and bareheaded out of doors a moment later the stable d'Hirsshtit with a bang and the stamping and racket that fol lowed told plainly that he was taking his own satisfaction out of the horses. The other women sprang to Emily's assistants and heljed her to her feet. "Where's my hat and shawl?" she panted. "Hadn't you Is.-tter sit down a few moments liefore you start? a -iked the young man's wife sothii!g1y. "Not a ininiiit will I stay in this house or ever come in it agin. I've bin insulted enough.

"Shr.il we go to lsl now?" asked the young man some time later. "Can we sleep with that going on overhead?" returned his wife. The young man listened. The lied above was squaking and creaking as if some devil or torment was seeking in vain for repose. The case was hope less, they fixed themselves as cozily as possible in their chairs, took up their favorite books and prepared to await the dawn. Gas Fram Saw last. The not uninteresting distincton is claimed for the town of iK-seronto, iu Canada, where there are several ex tensive lumber mills, of being partially lighted by gas made from sawdust. I n carrying out this plan, as stated, the sawdust is charged in retorts which are heated by wood fire, the gas from the retorts passing into a series of coils, an 1 thence into the purifiers, which are similar to those used for coal gas. Lime is the principal purifying agent employed, and when it passes out of the retorts the gas possesses an odor much less: disagreeable than that of ordinary lighting gas, and resemble somewhat that of the smoke frm a fire of green wood or leaves. The works in use are small, turning out daily about nineteen thousand cubic feet of gas for the production of which 'jjantity some two tons of sawdust are required, and a man and boy furnish all the labor that is needed for the purpose.

A Hog Orchsstra. During the reign of Louis XL of France there was attached to his court Abbot de Haigne, a man of consider able wit. The nbl;ot was somewhat musically intrlintsl, and dvlighted the court with invent ions -of odd musical iiistrum tiits. Ot.c- risy the King, afur having enjoyed a hearty laugh over one of these curious t-Pitii:ii.tts, and desiring to hatlle this musical genius, commanded him to produce harmon ious sounds from the cries of lugs. This seemed an impossibility to the king, and he prepared himself to enjoy i the discomfiture of theabUif. Much to his surprise, however, the ablxd readily agreed to produce them. All he required was a sum of money, upon the receipt of which he declared he woui-1 invent the most sttrpt i.-ingthing ever heard in the way of musical ntrocity. He scoured the country and secured a large mii:iler of hogs, trying their voices as to pitch and quality, and fin ally, having fully satisfied himself, he arranged the animals in a sort of a pavilion richly decorated. The day of the trial arrived, and the king and his court entered the pavillic.n prepared for something, but greatly in doubt r.s to the success of the abbot w ith the hogs. However, there were the lu gs, suie enough, and much to the surprise and delight of the king they commenced tt) cry harmoniously and in good tunc, rendering an air that was fairly recog nized. The abbot had bttangtil a series of stops that were connected w ith the hogs, and iqsoti pt;!!ing one t f them tiut caused a spike to prick the hog it connected witii, making him squeal his note. The rest was easy, from pulling out the different stops lie pro duced the tune. UmduI l'tM.. Which. "Was Right. A senator of the I'nited States, a man who has Ihh-ii in public life for many years, and who has never lcen regard ed as of a ha-ty or Itelligerent temper, sometimes narrates to his friends an incident that amuses them by its t:u likeness to anything they would have expected from him. He was traveling on a (Jerman rail way, anil was one of three' persons who were locked in a small compartment, which had two windows. At one of the windows sat the Se n ator, while at the other sat a big nius tuched, "warlike" man, apparently some member of the resident nobility. The American had his window open, and was gazing at the landscape and sniffing the air, when all at once the man with the soldierly mustache rose, stepped forward, and without a word of apology, put down the window. The Senator was astonished, of course; but wdiat could he say? There are some kinds of insolence which it is hard to know how to deal with. However, the Aniercian statesman rose to the occasion. Instead" of undo ing what the (Jerman had done, he stepped to that geullemau's seat aud put his window up. Whether this was in all respects a proper thing to do, is a point as to which opinions may differ. One thing is certain; it was now the second man's turn to be astonished. His mouth re mained shut, and his window remain ed open. Waxiiiiffun 'oxf. Cores for a Cold.

An Awfil Fnaay Story was related by Sinythe at the club the other night. When the laughter had suicided some one said: "Sniythe, I never saw a man change as you have during the post year. A few months ago, you were the most taciturn man imaginable; now you are the life of the party. How is it?" "My dear fellow." replied Sniythe, "a year ago, I wa a sick man.
