Ah! lfyuu knew. If you but knew,
Hi.w I bad listened fr your tread.

If vou knew that my thoughts, each day.
Defied the mandates of my will.
And from IU guidance stole away.
To cluster fondly round you still;
That in my sleep you bold the key
That opens to my sweetest drearu;
That you were oftener with me.
Than all their angel band, it seems.
Would yon be glad if you had read
My letter wrong? My fooling you
Was in the sharp things I bad said;
And not the sweet ones; If you knew?
Would you be surer to forgel.
In knowing I was fond and true?
Or would you be more cruel yet.
Or kinder, gentler, if you knew?
The unattained Is always rare.
The gained not always; does it puy
For what it costs, that with no care.
We trifle human trust away?
Yet since I cannot tell nules
The years should prove your heart ontroe.
Just m hich I nient, you can but guess.

WHAT THE CAP HELD.
The. night had cloned in about an
hour. A keen wind had rLteu to wet
ward on the Thames, lieating up gusti
ly against the strong flood tide. Hard
by Ixmdon bridge a auiall fckitT could
le dimly aeeu nearing the headlight at
Quee iihilbe stairs.
At the foot of these etairs stood a
man in a pilot cap, peering down
stream. His face expressed a contra
dictory look of the hunter and the
hunted. It was as though a sense of
intense fascination and dread had been
simultaneously roused. From his point
of view one could see the broad back of
a man who worked at a pair of sculls
and bevoud, in the boot', stern, the
eager uplifted face of a girL
The girl, who was steering, sudden
ly uttered a cry.
"What's up. Sue?" said the man at
sculls.
Look, look, Martin! It's Andrew
Mawle."
4 What?" The other cast a quick
glance over his shoulder.
At this moment Mawle crouched
down and dropped into a boat along
side the stairs. The tide carried him
out into the darkutass.
"Step ashore, Sue. I'll not lose him
to-night."
She stepped lightly on to the lowest
frtair that the tide had left uncovered.
Catching at the chain, she leaned for
ward over the water and whispered.
'You'll be wanting dad's help, won't
you'. '
"Yes, at ebb tide."
"Where?"
"The two red lights."
The girl nodded, and then, having
watched Martin's boat glide into the
shadows where the other boat had van
ished, she began to ascend the steps.
At the top of Q'leenhithe stairs there
a narrow roadway. On one side
13
stands a row of small houses at right
angles to the river, and oc the other
side there is a low wall. Over this wall
ies the diminutive djck or harbar of
Oieenhithe.
The g'rl unlocked the door of the
house nearest the riverside. She found
herself in a cozy little room where
the fire was burning cheerfully. She
locked the door and then sat down be-
ide the hearth without removing her
hat or cloak. She sat for awhile look
ing anxiously iuto the fire. Presently
6he glanced at the case clock and start
ed up.
Why, it's near ebb tide. I won
der" said she, stepping to the window
and staring out, "where's father?"
An impulse entered Sue's bead. by
not go and meet Martin t.anwrigni
at the two red lights in her rather s
plaoe?
She stood hesitating, even shrinking
back from the window, as the project
began to take clearer shape in her
brain, and a scared look came into her
dark eyes. Rut she quickly mastered
her fears and, having wrapped a wool
en scarf about her neck, as leas cum-
iiersome than her cloak, she went out
into the night
Her father's boat was moored along
side the stairs. She quickly loosened
the rope, and with a twist or two of the
sculls she had the skitr out in mui
st rea in. The two red lights marked
the pot where a vessel had been re-
.i t y sunk.
"Sue!"
She looked round, recognizing Mar
n's voice, and under the glimmer of
the two red lamps she saw his boat
ying against a barge hard by. She
glided alongside, and he stepped Into
her boat.
"Yes, Martin," she said, "it's me."
She then hastened to explain why
she had resolved to come. "Have I
acted right?" she asked. "I'm ready
to face any dauger. Tell me what', to
be done."
Martin had sunk down iu the stern.
He held a dark lantern in his hand.
and while Sue Lawson still spoke he
threw a flash from it upon the girl's
face. He thought at that moment that
he bad never seen a braver.
Yes. I'll tell you what', to be

to capture Andrew Mawle at ebb tide."
"To-night?" Sue whimpered eager
ly."
In ten minutes' time," was the re
ply. "I've discovered his hiding place
and"
"Where?"
"I'm going to steer there now," said
Martin. "Keep your place at the
sculls."
'Are you ready?" said Sue.
"Heady!"
The boat began to more quietly up
stream.
The girl was fully aware that the
expedition upon which she bad now
embarked, in response to a word from
Cart wright, was one fraught with con-
silerable danger. The very thought
of Andrew Mawle bad more than once
roused in her the most serious inquiet
ude. While the man was still a clerk
at Sherwood's bank, where Sue Law-
son had lately lived in the manager',
service, his dark, evil eye had frequent
omer
SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY,
ly excited in her woman's nature
sense of inexplicable repulsion.
She was no coward, but the reool
lection of Mawle's face one night the
face of one pursuing and pursued in a
crowded, lamplit street had caused her
to run homeward, with terror at her
heart, as hurriedly as though there had
been no one to defend her within sight
or call.
Upon that very same night, as she
had reason to remember, Sherwood's
bank bad been robbed. A box con
tainiug a large sum in notes and gold
had disappeared from Sherwood's
strong room. No doubt existed that
Andrew Mawle, who had failed to re
port himself at the bank since the
affair happened, was the sole culprit.
A big reward had been offered for his
arrest.
For some days past Sue had known
that Martin was on the man's track.
But she had shrunk instinctively from
taking any part iu the pursuit. Her
terror of him had increased. It was
only her passionate love for Martin
Cartwright that had given her the
courage of which she had such desper
ate need to-night.
They were now gliding iuto the
black shadow under the archway of a
huge bridge. When fairly on the oth
er side, Cartwright said: "Sue, we will
now turn about. . Easy, Sue. Now,
mind, be ready to unship the moment
I give the word."
The boat was moving upon an al
most motionless tide and soon drop
ped down stream under another arch
of the same bridge. Then Cartwright
whispered:
"Now."
The sculls were instantly unshipped.
and by the light of his lantern Cart
wright contrived to steer alongside the
masonry. Next moment he had seiz
ed a rope dangling against the side and
was standing up, with the boat station
ary beneath him.
"Catch hold. Sue. I'm going up
hand over hand on to a ledge in the
ironside overhead. That's where that
precious box is stowed. Steady. Now
give me three minutes, and the thing's
done."
He left her uo time for possible
vacillation. There was no choice but
for her to grasp the rope with a desper
ate grip as he began to ascend.
A few moments of intense anxiety
followed. Sue Lawson felt the rope
go slack. Martin bad hoisted himself
up, and she concluded that he was
perched safely on the iron girders.
But no sound reached her fr m over
head. "
She was on the point of whispering,
Is all well?" when a cry, as thougli
some one bad received a keen tap.
caught her ear. Next moment soir.-
thing fell heavily beside the boat. The
water was splashed up upon her hands
and face.
The first thought that came into the
girl's head was about the box. It had
dropped out of Cartwright'. hand and
had fallen into the river, but next mo
ment she became aware that some one
was struggling in the water within a
yard of the boat Had Martin Cart
wright lost his foothold and tumbled
lietween the beams into the Thames?
In an instant she bad let go her bold
upon the rope and had seized the lant
ern lying in the stern ready at hand.
She cast a searching light into the
river in the direction iu which she had
heard the splash. Nothing crossed
the circle of light.
And now the tide had turned. The
boat was drifting. She bent eagerly
over the stern, still searching. A sense
of dread lest Cartwright should be
Carried away, carried beyond reach of
her aid, had taken a hold upon her.
She had opened her lips to utter bis
name. But of a sudden the light fell
distinctly upon the face of a man, his
head uncovered, vigorously breasting
the ebb tide. She uttered a stilled, cry
and the lantern which she still held
over the water fell from her hand.
It was the face of Andrew Mawle.
Sue Lawson'. boat had drifted al
most within touch of Q'jeenhithe stair,
upon the increasing ebb tide before the
girl had fully recovered from her sense
of overmastering stupefictiou. It now
crossed her thoughts to go and secure
her father's aid in the rescue of Martin
Cartwright from his perilous position.
As she landed the girl looked back.
dreading she might find Andrew
Mawle at her heels. She peered down
down into the dark river on all
sides but he was nowhere to be seen.
At this moment a stalwart figure
with a lantern appeareu at me ueau oi
the stairs.
"Why, girl! What's to do?"
"Father! Martin needs you. Coaia."
It was not until she bad seated her
self in the stern of their boat, her fath
er at the scut's, that she could find
breath to tell him everything.
They bad brought the boat along
side, at last, under the dark arch, j
Lawson had found the rop? still dang
ling against the walL This rope was
fixed to one of the iron girders, and
the ascent by this means was mere
child', play to a man like Sue', father,
accustomed to riverside work.
Sue watched him intently as he
went up with the handle of the lan
tern between bis teeth, bul she spoke
no word. Presently her father's shad
ow fell upon her.
'Steady there!" and he looked
down between the girders "I'm a
couiin aboard."
"Isn't," she asked falteringly, "isn't
Martin there!"
"Steady girl steady! There aiu't
nobody up here."
Sue clutched at the rope with which
she was holding the boat against the
ebbing water under the archs-clutched
at it with a frantic grip. Then she
raised her face, and the lantern in her
father, hand showed upon it a wild
look of despair.
"Father, he has murdered him.
Andrew Mawle has murdered him up
there where you are kneeling now."
Days went by. No : idings of Martin
Cartwright came to the little house at
Queenshithe stairs, and Sue, no less
than her father, began to regard his
disappearance as a mystery that would
never be solved. But one night, while
Sue sat brooding over the hearth, her
father burst in upon her.
"Sue, I've found him. Comealong-
er me.
Some boats lengths below the bridg
ESTABLISHED
Lawson indicated a great barge toward
which he instructed the girl to steer.
Presently Sue found herself shivering
over the galley fire on board, while her
father helped to make the boat fast.
"Sue, my girl," said he, pointing to
the barge cabin, "step aft and go be
low. There! There ain't nothin to be
afeered on, nothin at all."
Still shivering, for Andrew Mawle's
face was haunting her mind's eye, she
hesitatingly obeyed. The cabin was
lighted by an oil lamp, and when she
reached the last step on the ladder she
looked about A man was lying in the
berth on the larboard side. She went
noiselessly forward and peered down
into the face.
"Martin! Can it 1?"
He lay with closed eyes and a face so
worn and pale that she almost doubt
ed if he lived. Cartwright, however,
soon recovered, and one day, while
still aboard the barge, he related how
the bargee, dropping down stream in
his boat, had heard bis groans and had
hastened to his rescue. He had re
ceived a serious stab from Andrew
Mawle which had almost deprived
him of his life.
"Did you discover the box?" Sue
asked.
"No, nothing," said Cartwright,
nothing except Mawle's cap. I must
have knocked it off his head during
our struggle on those iron girders.
There it is."
He pointed while speaking to a pilot
cap which hung from a eg against
the cabiu wall. She took it down and
turned it over iu her hand.
"Is that all?"
But suddenly she started and stared
at the cap w ith wide open eyes.
"Martin, there's something in the
crown. It feels like shall I look. '
Scarcely waiting for his reply, she
broke the thread that bound the inner
lining, and next moment she drew
forth a flat, circular packet Upon
opening this packet a number of bank
notes tumbled out
'Here's luck!" exclaimed the girl.
"You will get the reward yet"
The pilot cap found ujion closer
investigation to contain the bulk of the
stolen property, and Cartwright was
recompensed beyond the wildest
dreams. Some months afterward.
when Sue had become his wife, he was
engaged as head porter at Sherwood's
bank. As for the missing Andrew
Mawle, nothing mere was heard of
him, and everything pointed to the
surmise that he had gone silently out

STFDV OF THELES.-siXs IX THESfX
DAV .SCHOOL.
While every family is a little empire,
every lather a monarch, and no au
thority so alwolute as that of a parent;
every household Is also a church and
every father should be a prophet and
priest No house should be without
its altar to God, and no family without
its band of worshipers, but knowing
there are many families to whom this
sacred character does not belong;
where the immortal soul has no train
ing fur the fellowshipofsaiutson earth,
and the felicities of still higher asso
ciates in heaven. How importaut it is
then, that the time spent inthestudy
of the lesson iu the Sunday-school in
all departments, should be to influence
life and train for eternity. The true
and noble things iu life and iu every
department of action, is to reveal and
interpret the things of God to man.
The work done upon the human soul
is immortal.
The principal thing iu the study of
the lesson in the Sunday-school is the
application. The teacher, the chief
factor, should before taking up the
study of the lesson, pray God's Holy
spirit, the teacher in the things of God,
to consecrate his heart iu the taking
up of the lesson aud to give him light
iu the application of it, to the good of
each individual.
It is a grand thing to have good
books for our work. There are lescn
leaves, histories and commentaries,
prepared with care and learning. No
teacher can afford to be without them,
but they should not all be taken in the
school-room. Carry the material in
them iu a heart glowing with love to
Christ The design of the lesson book
is to render efficient help iu the prepa
ration of the lesson, and not as a me
chanical aid when you come to study
it in Sunday-school. Let those around
you see, aqd make them feel that you
are master of the sanation. In a bible
or normal class, as it were, have a
different teacher for each Sabbath.
Let each one come prepared to teach,
the leader being c'loeen after the class
has assembled. With this experieuee
there will 1 no trouble to secure pro
ficient teachers, when they are needeL
The lesson shu!d be studied iu a con
versational manner.
Each one expressing his own views
on the subject Teachers and members
should by all means carry their bibles
with them to the S. S. and study the
lesson iu connection with them. Often
only fragments of scripture is display
ed on the lesson leaf. In teaching
junior pupils, do not follow the ques
tions too cloM-ly, change the form, or
frame new ones. Reach out in all di
rections for suggestions from the schol
ars, r.xplain only what requires ex
planation. Awaken the Interest of
scholars by illustration of the truth
and endeavor to aid them to form the
habit of acquiring know ledge by thiuk
ing and searching for themselves.
The more we search, the more the val
ue the truth and the deeper will be the
impression. It clothes teachers with
fresh power, if they come before their
classes feeling they have something to
communicate that has cost them the
labor of search. A prepared mind and
a full heart will demand attention.
Afford pupils apportunity to ask ques
tions on the lesson and be ready to
elucidate any parts that may not be
understood by them.
Always aim to make the lesson
effective, so the scholars will go away
impressed and with a desire to live
the truth, or longing that Christ might
be theirs.
Every portion of the lesson implies
to this present life, although the sur
roundings may be for the Old World.
The principles are as true for us to-day
as then. To discover and realize these,
they must be studied uni.il th" jewels
of truth, covered by the dust of circum
stances are found and glow aud sparkle
again. The study of the lesson in the
Primary Department is uo doubt of the
irreatcst importance. Some one has
said, "Blessed be the hand that pre
nares a pleasure for a child, for there
is no saying when and where it may
again bloom forth." A teacher of ex

LIEUT. XUPP WAS VEEY COOL.
He Walked out of Libby Prisoa With
out a Q liver.
Lieutenant Kupp, of the Eighty-
eighth Pennsylvania Volunteers, was
captured, with many of his regiment,
at Gettysburg. He was known as a
Pennsylvania Dutchman, and he came
from llerks county, in that State,
where (ierman coloul-ts -ttIed nearly
two centuries ago and where their d -si-eudants
cling to the old customs an l
the mother tongue even uuto this day.
As it was summer at the time of iet-
tysburg, the men captured ia that hat
tie were iu light attire, and the long
march dowu to Iliehmoud aud the
wear aud tear ou their thin blouses ri-
duced them to rags, and this Pennsyl
vania lieutenant seemed to be the most
rairired of all.
Kupp was considerably over six feet
in height, lank, long limbed and in
clined to be round sluldereL He
was about 24 years old, and the gray
eyes, long, dark hair, and fure-covered
f.K-e gave him the appearance of a
North Carolina mountaineer. His
comrades jokingly called him "the tar
heel," but he took it good naturedly.
The resemblauce was much in his
favor w hen he made up his mind to
leave Libby, and, to use his own lan- j
guage, "make a bee line for find's
laud," as the prisoners called the
North.
The two subjects that engrossed the
minds of tiie men were exchange and
escape. Nearly every day the report
spread that the exchange cartel bad
been resumed, and that the men were
to lie sent North under a flag of truce
within twenty-f.Mir hours. On such
occasions groups of excited meu would
rjs'.i through the six divisions of the
lark, dreary old warehouse, shouting
frantically:
"Pack up! Pack up! All exchanged.'
Hurrah for God's land!"'
Constant disappointment failed to
les--en these rumors, nor did it weaken
tie hoje3 of the men who heard them.
Perhaps Kupp was an exception, for
he never got excited, was never stirred
from his stolid beari-ig by the cry of
Pack up!" "I have nothing to pack,"
he would say with a grim smile, and
without raising his eyes from the bit
f yellow bone he was trying to carve
nto a crucifix with a broken jack-
knife.
Plans for escape were daring and in
numerable. Nearly all were impracti

were at this time digging in the dark
ness the great tunnel through which
subsequently 11') men escaped.
"When I get giod and ready I'm
going to light out."
This Kupp would say to the men un
folding their schemes about him, but
as he refused to tdi how he proposed
getting away he was laughed at and
left to his bone carving.
Just before Christmas the Confeder
e authorities, who had refused to re
ceive supplies for the prisoners from
the United States Government permit
ted friends iu the North to send down
a little food and clothing under a flag
oftrure. Uniforms were contraband,
so that all the clothes that came
through were of the citizen style and
material.
Lieutenant Kupp receiver! a huge
lox, full of hams sausages, preserves,
heese aud other gd things from the
old farm, but neitner the memory of
pist hunger nor fear of the future pre
vented his inviting the men who had
no boxes to help themselves. Of all
the things iu the big box the one that
moett delighted Kupp's soul was a suit
of butternut olothes, evidently of home
manufacture, even to the cloth.
The lieutenant soon "shucked" his
blue rags and donned the new suit
Thus attired be strode up and down
the "upper Potomac room," a hunk of
bread iu one hand aud a chunk of ham
in the other, while bis laughing com
panions demanded to know when he
left "North Ca liny."
"Hit don't mattah we'en I left," re
sponded Kupp, with an inimitable
mountaineer drawl, "the thing that's
a bother! n me now is we'en an' how
Ize gwine ter git back."
As old soldier will remember, the
uniforms of the Confederates were any

had received the clothing from home,
it was noticed that Kupp, who was

When Kupp came Into the upper
Chickamauga room, the guard was
forming to go. Seizing the hand of
Captain Maas, of his own regiment,
who s!od near-by, the lieutenant
whispered:
"Good-bye, EI; I'm going to make a
break for God's !auL"
As this was the first intimation Cap
tain Maas had had of his friend's pur
pose, he was too much astounded to
make a reply. The next instant Kupp

He kept safely to the rear until the

desk inside of a railing. Hearing the
shuffling of feet on the floor, Turner
looked up aud demanded:

angrily from the desk.

so cussed particular," drawled Kupp,
as, obeying the direction indicated by
Turner's extended hand, he made for
the door.
Kupp saluted the guard, who ex
changed winks with him as he tossed
out to freedom.
Once beyoud the g iard a mao of ordi
nary nerve would have started otf with
all speed, nor halted until Libby was
far behind and even the steeples of
Richmond out of sight; but Kupp was
not an ordinary man. Standing before
the entrance to the prison, t'ae lieuten
ant shouted in to Turner:
"Say, mistah , Lev ye any objections

Of course, Turner made no response,
but the guard continued down his post
aud laughed, as if be thought the tall
man in butternuts a very funny fel
low. Meantime the news of Kupp's escape
hail spread among his late associates.
The excitement was all the greater
from the fact that it had to be suppress
ed. Instead of glass there were iron
bars in the front windows. Prisoners
were not permitted to come within
two feet of these bars. Of course, all
knew the order, and that Captain For
syth, of the Oue Hundretb Ohio, had
been killed a few days before for un
intentionally violating it. yet the meu
forgot all about this in their anxiety to
see Kupp have.
The lieutenant had evidently made
up bis mind to gratify his comrades
behind the liars. Across Carey street
from the prisou there was a vacant lot
Kupp walked to the edge of the lot, sat
town on a log, and, taking out his
broken jackknife, began to w hittle and
to signal the men in his old room to
