James U PKyricsoT. A STORY FROM LIFE. But It Is Less Interesting On That Account. BY MIW. CLARA J. lEXTON. Look at that cow. A pretty fix she's iu! Did you ever see such an idiot?" And the words were followed by a loud laugh. Attracted by this evidence of amuse ment, the other loungers on the wharf turned about and watched the cow with a grateful Interest. In her explorations along the pier the creature had come upon a discarded salt-barrel, and had licked up the salt still clinging to its edges. Had she been content with this, no barm would have resulted, but in the eagerness of her appetite for the salt, she puhed her head further and farth er inside the barrel, until her horns be came fastened there. Held thus, as in a vise, she made frantic but unavailing efforts to free herself, and in so doing floundered blindly about the wharf. The loungers watched her without goina; to her relief, and at last, in her aimless struggles, she plunged head long into the water. Thereupon the heartless spectators broke out iuioi'.'lls of delight. Outcries were unusual in this peace ful village, and in a moment the occu pants of the stores in the neighborhoikl of the wharf were rushing pell-mell to the river. "It's the Widow Howell's cow," cried one of the throng, as tbe poor beast, self-blind folded, w;ut swim ming madly around in a circle. "Here, bossie, bossier' called another hoping to lure her towards the shore Several other voices took up this cry, but the commotion served only to ter rify the creature, for," with a sudden plunge, she turned aliout and liegan swimming vigorously down stream. "She'll never stop until she reaches the lake," cried a dozen voices. At this juncture a boy, carrying a basket of eggs, rushed through the crowd to the edge of the wharf. He seemed to take in the situation at a glance. In a' moment his basket was on the grouud and his ragged clothes were on top of it. "What are u going to do?" ex claimed a tall fellow ou the ei'ge of the crowd. For answer there was a splash in the water, and then a tow head arose above the surface aud steered ofT in the di rection of the cow. The crowd watch ed breathlessly. This slender boy had done what not a man among them had either cared or dared to do. The river was wide at this point, but the boy struck out in a bee-line, aud was able, after some minutes of strong and swift swimming, to head on the animal by catching hold of the barrel. He then swam around her, caught hold of her tail and steered her towards the wharf again, amid the cheers of the crowd. "Throw me a club," he shouted, when within speakiug distance. This was done, and the boy climbed onto the cow's back with the club ia his hand. IUisiug it aloft, he brought it down upon the barrel with a few vigorous blows, shivering the wood, and in another moment the liberated jow was shore, running with all her might towards home, aud the boy was drawing on his clothes. "Are vou the Widow Howell's boy?" said a voice over his shoulder. "No, sir," was thequick answer, and, looking up at tbe tall, fine-looking man, the boy weut on by way of ex planation; "she hasn't any boys. I'm Pete Noble's boy, and my name is Harry." "Well, Harry," said the gentleman, you're just the sort of boy I need. How would you like to go to the city to live?" Harry gave a little gap of pleasure, but did not auswer immediately. All his short life he had been longing to see the city. Tube sure.it was only five miles away, but it might as well have been five hundred. Here, them was his opportunity. "Well, sir, I'd like to go," he said, "but I haven't any clothes but these." "No matter about the clothes," said his new friend, "they're for sale in the city. I want a boy to stay in my rooms at the hotel and answer the telephone, and sometimes go on errands. You'll have $10 a month aud your bwd and lodging. If you want to go, aud your folks are williug I don't want a ruu- away boy meet me at the 5 o'clock train." 'My folks will be willing," said Harry. "I haven't any but my latuer, and he wants me to get something to do." "All right; here's my card; you may want to tell your father to whom you have hirtd yourself." The slip of pasteboard passed from the delicate white hand to the hard, sunburned one, and the two parted. Harry, with his basket on his arm, went on slowly, lost in admiration of the finely engraved script on the card. "Jerome K. Umtgomery," be said to bimself. "I wonder what father willthiDkof that for a regular swell uame?" When, a few Lours later, he followed his new employer into the railway coach, be aaid to himself: "Harry, you're ia luck." For three happy months he contin ued to think so, but one sad night iu iSoveaiber, all the joy wis swept out of Somerset SOMERSET, PA., hrslife. He was awakened from a sound midnight sleep by voices in the ad joining room, and before he could warn the speakers of his waking, he had heard bis employer unfold to a visitor a plot to ruin financially a man who was apparently one of his best friends. Harry slept no more that night; be had now but ore overwhelming thought, to save this man from ruin, without betraying his always kind em ployer. One day, six weeks later, as Mr. Montgomery was coming out of the counting-room of a largo hardware fctore, where he had been holding a business interview, be passed near a man who was unpacking a box of caster "cas .j" that is, the part that goes into the furniture, aud to which the easier proper is fitted. Mr. Montgomery saw that they were the cases belonging to the patent caxter invented by his friend Leypoldt. He fetopped and took one up, and then examined one of tbe caster stems lying near. A dark frown settled upon his brow. "Some one has warned him; some one has warned him," he said to him self over aud over again. The penalty for wrongfully affixing the word "patented" upon any article i very great. Leypoldt, the inventor of this particular caster stem, had, in his ignorance of this law, placed the stamp upon the unpatented "case." Mr. Montgomery knew of this infringe ment of the law, but, to gratify an old grudge, he had allowed Leypoldt to remain in error, intending, when a large lot of the casters was thrown upon tbe market, to inform the gov ernment cf the wrong marking and thus briug financial ruin upon his old friend. A dastardly plot, indeed, but now Mr. Montgomery held in his hand in dubitable evidence of its failure, for the word "patented" was on the caster "stem" where it belcnged, aud not where it was first placrd, on the caster case." Still holding tbe stem in his hand, Mr. Montgomery turned his steps tow ards his hotel, wondering the while who could have informed Leypoldt of his danger. 'I have told no one but Jones," he said to himself, "and he left for Hono lulu within an hour after I told him. He would not have written to Leypoldt although wc were all college boys together, he is one of the miud-your- own-busineas-whatever-happi:s sort cf men. At this point iu his reverie, he enter ed his own cosy library, and the first object that met his eye was the open book that Harry had been reading be fore going out upon an errand. "Ah," he exclaimed, with a growl of rage; "I have it; that little pau per was lying awake, and has be trayed me! If I had him here, I'd thrash him within an inch of his life." Harry, however, did not return for nearly an hour, and by that time his employer had fully decided that he was the culprit, and that he must be dealt with iu the most summary manner. As soon as he had heard the result of Harry's errand, therefore, Mr. Mont gomery turned upon him a stem face and said: "Harry; how dared you tell Leypoldt of his error in marking his caster case?" Harry started, and Lis face grew white, but without a moment's hesita tion, he said : "Because I thought I ought to, sir." Mr. Montgomery started to his feet. "Thought you ought to defame and scandalize me?" he roared. Harry ojiened his mouth to speak, but Mr. Montgomery threw out his band with a commanding gesture, "i3top," he said, "I will not hear a word; there can be to excuse for such an act. Now," and he took out his check-book and turned to bis desk, "go pack your truuk while I write a check for your month's wages, which will be due in a dsy or two. I order you to leave this bouse inside of five minutes." These were harsh words, and as Harry threw bis clothes into bis little trunk, he thought fiat he should never forgive or forget them. A few moments later his truuk was in the hotel baggage-room, aud he was standing on the hotel steps, holding Mr. Montgomery's check in his fingers, an l looking vag lely out upa the hur rying throug. He folded his check aud put it away in his purse, and, as he was buttoning up his outer coat, the hotel door swung open behind him, and a familiar voice said: "Well, Harry, out for another run?" "Oh, Mr. Leypoldt," sobbed Harry, "I didn't think you'd give me away ; you said you never would," aud be hid his swimming eyes on Mr. Leypoldt's coat-sleeve. The man looked down upon him in puzzled silence, and then a light broke over his face. "What has he done to you, Harry?" be said. "Discharged me," said Harry, forc ing back the tears and holding his head erect. "Nothing could suit me better," ex claimed Mr. Leypoldt. "I have long wanted you, but, of course, I would not take you from Mr. Montgomery." Harry's face flushed. "But you see," hestammered, and then be looked down silently. "Oh, yes, I see," said Mr. Leypoldt, laughing; "of course, you've no use for a man who amid, as you say, 'give you away,' but the truth is that I have never exchanged a word with Mr.' Montgom ery about the patent caster." "Oh," exclaimed Harry, "then I have betrayed him, aterall." "Yes," said Mr. Leypoldt, "that's the way things often go in this world people with the best Intentions often do, before they kno' it, the very things they have vowed not to do." "But," said Harry, looking bewilder ed, "if you have never spoken to Mr. Montgomery about it, I can't see how he found it all out no straight, or how you knew so quick that I had quarreled with him." "Well," said Mr. leypoldt, "when he saw the markings changed on the casters, be know someone had warned me. iiw discovery 01 you was omii a lucky guess. When you first told me ESTABLISH:!) 1827. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 17. 1897. of my infringement of the law, iu spite of your precaution, I susfiected Mont gomery, for he has an old grudge against me, something I am not at all to blame for, and when you met me with that accusation that I had 'given you away,' I was confirmed in my sus picions; but, never mind; some day, when his wrath is cooled, I'll show him how you befriended me without betraying him, and I'm sure he'll be grateful to you .'or having saved him from doing a dishonorable thing." t Harry is to day superintendent of a large furniture factory, and Mr. Mont gomery, now an old man, is his stead fast friend. No words have ever passed between them concerning the "patent caster," but at every possible opportunity the latter says fervently: "You're a trump, Harry," and Harry understands, and is satisfied. So Sad. They were both Spiritualists, aud it is hardly necessary to add that they were not commouplace, for, being Spiritualists, how could they possibly be commonplace? No! They met, this He and She (it sounds like the speakers in a dialogue joke, but this is no joking, laughing matter. It's serious,) at a seance. Have you ever seaneed, auy of you fellows?

After the seance was over and the spirit of Daniel Webster had vouch safed to the faithful this soul terrifying communication: "I seen a lot of things when I was alive," and various other equiilly mysterious manifesta tions had preieuted themselves, this he and she fell Into conversation. They had never met before, but as they gazed iuto each other's eyes they recog nized right away that each was the other's Afiioitv! "My Affinity!" he cried. "Mine!" she murmured aud fell into his arms. "You are married, of course?" he then said. "No," she whsspered, hesitatingly. "Nor I," he reluctantly admitted. "Then we must part!" They could not lo'e, th'jse twin souls, because there was nothing to prevent it, and what is the good of being affini ties if you dou't have to strive against Fate?

Much has been written of Indian up risings and outrages, but there is a story to be told on the other sl le which often shows not only justice in the In dian action but the most violent out rage on the part of the white settlers In provoking it. Here is a tali told by Scout Allison, an employe of the gov ernment In the West, that throws some light on Indian atrairs: Mold was discovered in the Black Hills in 1371, an l regardless of Indian ownership, white men from ail parts of the United States rushed to the hills iu eaer search of the precious metal. The luiiian.i entered a strong protest and appealed to the United States authori ties to expel the miners from their reservation. Many were driven out by troops, but in spite of all opposition the spring of lS7tj found the new gold fields literally alive with white men and mines giving up gold at the rate of thousands of dollars per day, while every trail leading to the Butck Hills across the reservation became a public highway over which supplies were hauled into the mines. One of the principal routes to the Black Hills was over the Bad Ili7er trail, through the very heart of the great Sioux reserva tion in South Dakota. Fort Pierre at the mouth of Bad River was the start ing point and base of supplies. Thirty five miles above Fort Pierre was situat ed the Cheyenne River Iudiau agency, on the west bank of the Missouri river, around which were clustered about 5,000 friendly Indians. Sixty-five miles below Fort Pierre the Lower Brule agency was located, also ou the west bank of the Missouri, where about 2, 50J friendly Sioux received their ra tions. Indians passing from one agen cy to the other frequently camj in con tact with miners and wagn trains on th3 Bad River trail, but the Indians, being inclined to peaceful m Hhods, and hoping that the government would eveutually protect them in their rights, avoided contact as much as possible, waiting their opportunity and crossing the trail where no white man was visible. About the middle of April, H7t5, seven lodges of Minnikanyeju Sioux, who hail beeu visiting at the Lower Brule agency, were on their way home to the Cheyenne River reservation, when one of their number, a young warrior, was taken violently ill and died while they wer-enea:nped on the bank of the Bad river. Following the usual Indian custom in such cases, the body of the dead warrior was washed and painted as if for a festival, dressed in his finest sav age attire and then wrapped in a new woolen blanket, his old mother having first brought bis bow and arrows and placed them tenderly by his side. Then the blanket and dressed deer skins were carefully wrapped around the body and fastened wi:h leather thongs. Lastly, the finest and biggest buffalo robe in camp is wrapped with the fur inside around the dead warrior and securely fastened with a long stout lariat. Four forked posts were then set upright in tbe ground on a little mound a few rods north of the Black Hills trail, ou which a scuff .Id was erected about eight fett from the ground. On this scaffold the body was placed secure from burrowing animals, and after the usual funeral rites tbe grief-stricken friends went sorrowing to theii homes at the Cheyenne agency. The mourning red men had been gone perhaps not more than six hours when a party of gold hunters, fourteen in number, with a span of mules and a wagon to haul their supplies, came to the place where the dead warrior was laid to rest The whites saw tbe Indian grave; the first one they had ever seeu. and the last and only one they ever saw. They turned the mules out of tbe beaten track and drove to the little mound and halted by the side of the scaffold. They walked round aud round the strange object, looking up and examin ing it from every side. At length one of them said: "Say, boys, that looks like a good robe around that redskin; somebody bring an axe from the wagon and we'll see how they fix up a dead iujen, any way." The axe is brought, and in a moment the posts are cut through and the scaflold, with its grue some tenant, falls to the ground. The lariat is loosened, ar.d two men (?) seize the end of the robe and unwind it from the body. It Is, indeed, a good robe. They shake it in the wind aud then throw it into their wagon. "We'll have use for that robe," they say. The removal of the robe brought to view the dressed deerskius. "Just what we want," they said, "to make whip lashes," and tbe deerskins followed the buffalo robe Into the wagon. And then the blanket, which was a brand new one. It wouldn't uo to leave that. Bo Into the wagon it went to keep com pany with the rest of the funeral fur niture. Next their attention is given to the almost naked body of the dead warrior. One of tbem seizes the bow and arrows. "I'll keep them for my little boy," said be. ADotherakes the bear claw neck lace. He will take that home for bis wife. Aud thus the body is entirely de nuded. The moccasins are taken by one, the silver armlets by another, the garters, with little bells attached to them, are taken by another, and, spurn ing the naked body with their feet, they go on their way rejoicing at their rich find. It portends good luck when they reach the Hills. , About noon the following day the little band of Indians reached their homes, where they imparted the sad news of the death of the young brave to his friends and relatives. Among the latter was a brother, who, after learning the exact locality of the grave, mounted his hor?e, saying that he would go and look upon the silent form of his brother aud weep for him. Be fore sunset he was drawing near the little mound, but saw no scaffold stand ing there, and wondered if be bad mis taken bis directions. No, there is some thing there, and he rides closer to soe what it Is. One brief glance at the ru ins and he knows the whole story. The posts with the marks of the axe, and the poles which formed the scaffold are there. The tracks of the wagon and the mules show plainly in the soft earth, and all an mud are the footprints of white men. But where Is the dead warrior? Scattered about are frag ments of the skeleton stripped of the flesh, and down yonder by the river is a score of coyotes, snarling and fight ing over something which looks v ry much like a portion of the dead In dian's body. The wolves and coyotes had finished th; work which the white vandals bad begun. No tear started from the eye of the dead warrior's brother as he sat there on bis pony and contemplated the scene, but giving utterauee to that sav age growl which no white rntn can imitate or describe, be turned bis horse's hetd toward his home tn i t'ew away with the spetd of a frightened deer.

Here !s e good story from the "Recol- eclioc?of Aubrey de Vere:" A young man wa tried for murder, having kill ed a member of a rival faction in a faction fight. The judge, reluctant to sentence him to death on account of his youth, turned to him and said: "Is then anyone in Court who can speak as to your character?" The youth loiked roualthi Curt, then said sadly: "There is no man here my lord, that I know." At that my grandfather chanced to walk into the grand jury gallery. He saw at once bow matters stood. He called out, "You are a queer boy that don't know a friend when you see him!" The boy was quick-witted: be an swered: "Ob, then, it is myself that is proud to see your Honor here this day!" "Well," said tbe Judge, 'ir Vere, since you know the boy, will you tell us what yoy know of hi.u."' "I will, my lord," said my grandfather, "and what I can tell you is this that from tbe very first day that ever I saw him to this mijutc I never knew anything that was not go-nL" The old tenaat ended his tale by striking his bands to gether and exclaiming: "Aud he bad never clapped his eye upon the boy till this minute!"

A dispatch from Berlin tells of a young German who has just attempted to take ten thousand kis.ses in ten hours from his sweetheart's lips, his ambition, of course, being to establish a kissing record. In spite of the some what hampering condition of witnesses and scorers, a record of two thousand "smacks" for the first hour and one thousand for the second hour was es tablished, when suddenly the youth collapsed, his lips became paralyzed and he fell in a faint.

Teddy, like all otht-r bojs, loved fruit; and when he left bis English school to visit his father's home iu tbe island of Ceylon, jut outside the town f Kan- dy, be was charmed with the tropical fruit, the delicious inaugosteeu, fresh cocoanuts, soft and creamy as a custard; bananas r'.pe?:d on the tree, and a great many others. Oue morning he was filled with dis may to find the orchards nea-ly bare, the boughs strlpred, and no footprints, no noises the night before, though there must have been a hundred or so of the rogues to d s much damage in a few hours. Hastening to ctll his father, he met his el ler bmther and showed him the ruiu of the fruit-trees. Richard looked grave enough, for this meant a very serious loss to them; but when TedJy repeated for the third time: "Dick, who d you suppose Old all this uiie'iief?" tie answered with a smile: "Why, ghosts, to be sure." "But, you kuow, ghosts can't rob or chards and devour fruit You are only trying to fool me as if I were a baby?" exclaimed Teddy indignantly. "O lr Ceylon ghosts rob orchards, as you see." 'Nonsense," said his father in a dis pleased tone as be joined the boys, "I will not have you talk such stuff to Ted dy, Dick." "But who did it, father?" asked Ted dy eagerly". "Tiie flying lemurs. You never heard of them in E iglaud, but we kuow too much of thvm here," aud he pa-vk'd on. "Iok at your Latin dictionary, Ted dy," said Dick: "It is the same thing." Teddy did look aud found that lemur, or lemure, m?ans ghost. He was very uiuc'.i puzzled, bit he would ask no more questious. Ho resolved to watch that uight himself; one part of the or chard had not been touched. After every one elie had gone to sleep he sat watching, and was suddenly startled by seeing a great many shad owy forms passing silently over the grass towards the fruit trees. They seemed to spring into the air and hurl themselves upon the trunks, then with lon, flying leap rlat through the air to the next tree. There seemed at Ieaat two or three hundred in the flock, and it was :Ul so noiseless that he was fright ened an 1 cried aloud for bis father. The alarm wjs quickly given, and the men ran to the orchards, attacking the marauders with guns and clubs, killing a good many and at last driv ing them off. These lemurs are a family of tropical animals of the division of four-handed or foot-ban id creatures, and are very like the monkeys, to whic'i they are a":iu, except., that thsir hiiul legs are much longer than their foreleg. They have sharp muzzles, like foxes, and us ually not always have long tails. Ah they delight tolivoin trees, eatirg fruit or birds' eggs and insects, it is a convenience to them to have a piece of fl.-s'u lengtheuel from tlu fore legs to the hind .? -like the flying squimls which t'.kes i'ae place of w4ngs and helps liiem to throw themselves into the air quite a di.-tan?e from one tree to another. Th y canuot rea'iy rise from the earth au 1 lly, but they can climb and jump much better on account of this appendage, and with their sharp claws they hold on to the lark and strip the fruit off. They go in large flocks and do an im-men-e amount of mischief. There is one kind of lemur, called a loris, that climbs iuto a tree without a sound, and swiftly and silently captures the birds, which never dream that hu enemy is near. Tne uext day Teddy wrote to an English schoolmate: "Our orchards have alt been robbed and the fruit devoured. Can you guess who did it? Ghosts! You will not be lieve this, but I am telling the truth. Perhaps if you ask our Latin teacher he may help you to guess this rid lie." Islands Samed For Dogs. Dozens, some say scores, of islands, of greater or less dimensions, are known as "Little Dogs," "Dog Islands," "Big Dogs," etc. An island in the Thames, now a part of London, is called the "Isle of Dogs." Three lofty, rocky isl ands near St. Tb.oi.ias, Virgin Islands, are known as "The Great Dog," "George Dog," and the "West Dog." There are "Dog Inlands" in the Ma layan Archipelago; off the coast of Maine; on the const of Franklin county Florida, aud another iu the Serawati, Group. Ou the coa.-t of Kamschatka there is an island know u as "The Island of Talk ing Dogs." Tne curious story tnmiiect ed with this spot of land and the oue that gives it the name it bears is this, accordiug to an Asiatic legend: The first inhabitants of the Far North did not employ dogs, but drew their walrus-rib sleds themselves. Af ter ages had elapsed men made an at tempt to use the dogs of that region whic'j. by the way, talked just as men do as beasts of burden. The talking dogsT however, argued the case with their would I masters, and were not long in proving that they had enough to do to catch game for themselves and the children of men. But tbe men soon learned the use of the bow and arrow and the spear, thus ruining the occupation of the talking dogs. Again an attempt was made to Larnessthem to sleds, but they rebell ed, and all swam out of the islaud, afterwards known as "The Island of the Talking Dogs." Here the game was srce, and the dogs soou turned canuibals, and by the end of the first winter there were only seven left Some humane Kamschat kans volunteered to row out to the Isl and, and bringoff the remnant of the dog colony. But the dgs refused to leave their barren island, saying: "What people are you? We have never seen you before." For thb untruth Chami, the dog go,!, took their voices 4 away from them and until this day they have been the dumb s-.rvants of man. Sweet ForetfoJness.

Renew au old orchard by plowing in the fall and applying a top dressing f barnyard manure, giving each tne about two big wagouloads. Iu fact, spread it over the entire surface four iuches deep, aud you w.-jll be astonished at the results. Your t.'ees will take on a new lease of life, make a (rood growth, with healthy dark green foliage in the place of the sickly light greeu of pre vious years. You will get large crops of excellent fruit. TLe (rouble with Mt old orchards is that they are hide bound in grass and starved to death fur want of foiod. From recent experiments it appears that a meadow will yield aliout four times as much feed in bulk if made into bay as it will if pastured. But, as it is well known that the young tender gru ot the ofteucropp.'d pasture is more nu tritious than tbe older and tougher hay, it was found by a careful test that the advantage in nutrients, digestibility and freedom from cost o' harvesting, housiug and feeding of pi atured fields, will uearly lilance the greater yield of hay fields, except on vtry high-priitd lauds.

Betrayed By a I&real. Some very interesting stories aliont post oilice robbers enliven the pages of the atinu.il report of Joteoh L. Bristow, tbe fourth assistant postmaster general.

The members of the gang robbed banks and post ottlees so frequently as to keep tbe people in a constant state of ex citement. A detail from the inspectors' force was directed to co-operate with an agent of the Missouri Pacilie railroad company and tbe state authorities to find the rub bers. The inspectors found that twenty five or thirty crooks would assemble at Hanover at oue time. Several were ar rested and all are now serving seutence. Not a post office robbery was reported for months after these arrests in tbe territory in which the gang operated, though these) had averaged Previously two a wwk.
