"Von wi.l not forget me, O-Suba?

impatiently; and the young man left,
catching a glance as he closed the gar

t'ne day, a few months after Kam
yei's departure, his mother called at
the c..t:.i'.', and after relating a pitiful
t.Ce of bad harvests, poverty and debt,
said that her husband, who was in fee
ble health, would be sent to prison If
she C.U..1 imt obtain eighty riyos, and
she begged 0-uba, as her son's be

Niya in vain urged her aunt to apply
portion ot her little fortune to the
tanner s relief. Her relatives were
obdurate, and the old woman was going
away sadly, when the younger girl
sprang up, thrust her feet Into her
san. la. s and hurried after the Visitor,
overtaking her before she reached the
k'ate.
"When umst you have the money?"
she sa d.
"Wiiiiin three daya, N'iya."
'You shall have it." said the elrl:
and escapinir from the thanks and
essings of the old woman, she re
turned to the house. Mie threw ber-

W.ih many bows they led him into
an unoccupied room, and when food
and drink were placed before him he
was left alone. lie was soon waited on
by another girl, who inquired If he
wanted anything more, and Kampei
was astounded to recognize in the new
comer N'iya but not the Xiya in quitt
attire, with downcast looks, whom he
left behind at Morioka. She bad gay
clothes; ber hair was adorned with large
gold headed plus and her face pow
dered. N'iya drew back in confusion on see
ing Kampei; then, collecting herseir,
she advanced, and, pretending not to
recognize him. said: A gentleman or
the army of chastisement U welcome to
the Chaya. We are thankful that be
deigns to honor our humble house by
stopping here."
Kampei's face was grave as he asked:
"How ia this. N'iya? Has misfortune
overtaken your family that O-Suba and
your aunt have permitted you to be
come a menial in a tea bouse?"
The girl hung ber head, but did not
answer. Had be been merely scornful
at ber loss of caste, she could lie defi
ant; but he was evidently sorry for ber.
'Why have you done this, N'iya?"
the young man continued reproach
fully. Tou were not in poverty; you
were happy; why, then, did you leave
borne ror such an occupation as this?"
N'iya looked at the mats silently.
Her lip quivered, the blush that
mounted from her throat to her fore
head faded away, pursued by a deadly
paleness, and ber limbs trembled so
much that she dropped on tbe ground
and hid ber face in ber broad sleeves.
An old man entered from the veran
da, and, after bowing to Kampei, des
cried the motionless girl, with her head
leaning against a partition.
Howl" he cried, angrily, moping
in this way with tbe house full of
guests troublesome fellows, too, like
those sanurai, who curse and threaten
if they are delayed but one moment.
Up this instant, 1 say. or I shall use
my whip on your shoulder's!"
N'iya seemed glad to escape from
Kampei's questions, and she withdrew,
followed by tbe master of the house.
Drawing the tobacco stand toward
him Kampei filled and lit bis pipe, and
while smokeing puzzled himself in en
deavoring to explain Niya"s presence
there. The singing in the adjoining
chamber grew more boisterous, and
sometimes Kampei heard the clash of
swords, tbe voices of the frightened
attendants, and the entreaties ot the
proprietor. It all jarred on the young
man's feelings, and were it possible be
would have left the place. Bat there
were only miserable villages between
the chaya and Morioka, and, apart
from his fatigue, the way was lonely
and dangerous on account of robbers.
He strolled to the back of tbe Inn,
and purssnd a little nagged path to
ward a rustic summer house erected on
an artiStslal moucd..-A sUght railing
en either side divided the path from
the garden, where tbe summer chrysan
themums, the peonies and pinks were
bursting into bloom, while the camella,
azalea and primrose gave forth their
expiring strength in a few delicate
now era. Some late violets peeped tim
idly from the shadow ot a huge rock;
around tbe lattice work of tbe summer
house vine tendrils struggled with
dainty clematis, and cherry blossoms,
from which the house was named,
bloomed in gay profusion everywhere.
Sitting there In the silence of the
evening, tbe sort landscape spread out
beneath him the odor oc the garden
mounting to the arbor, Kampei almost
forgot his recent annoyance and in
dulged in pleasant dreams of the fu
ture. Dusk was advancing, when be
was startled by seeing N'iya, who had
approached noiselessly, standing in the
doorway. Mie uttered a little scream
on finding the summer boose occupied,
and was about to go away, when Kam
pei recalled ber and desired ber In a
harsh voice to sit down. She obeyed.
the blood meanwhile mounting lndign-
nantly to her forehead; and when Kam
pei looked severely at her she hastily
brushed away the traces of recent tears
and said defiantly:
"Frown not thus, good Kampei; I

only N'iya. Are not my parents dead?
And who, then, win a are 10 reprove

O-Suba forget the wretched NTiya, who
will never return to her home."
She rose to her feet while speading
and was about to leave, when Kampei
airaln stopped her and said sorrowfully:
You nave cnosen a mean caning
that vour parents would have rejected
as vulgar and disgraceful; their spirits
are displeased, and you can no more
visit their tombs or pray before the
god shelf with a peaceful mind. There

nause. "get away, you low creaturei

He turned away from ber with a
eesture ot anger. Mie ciaspea ner
hands to her side anu siaggerea against,
the frail woodwork, making the whole
structure tremble; then, looking at nun
ildly. she uttered a heartbroken cry
and rushed down tbe patb. past tbe
house and across tbe broad road.
Kampei followed tbe girl with his
eves. and. wnen ne saw ner cumo tue

the river flowing slowly beyond, he
muttered to himself:
'The death of a dog Is good enough
for one with so mean a soull"
But better thoughts quickly came.

and her clothing buoyed her for some
moments. She did not struggle, out
kept her band thrust into tbe sleeves of
ber robe. She sank again In the smooth
current, and as ber face became buried
her fortitude deserted her. and she
threw ud her arms with a stifled shriek
Tbe bubbles that marked the spot
where she sank were almost gone when
KaniDei reached the bank, divested of
his sandals and outer garments. He
sprang into tbe stream, and succeeded
in seizing the drowning girl, who,
Uiough nearly insensib'e, grasped him
tiirhtiv about the neck, hindering his
movements. Kampei, finding the place
shallow, out his feet upon the ground.
but to his terror they sank into deep
mud, and lie felt the water gradually
rising uuon him. He strained every
muscle, but tbe water still mounted
until ther were both covered. A roar
as of thunder fil'ed bis ears, but be
managed to preserve some coolness. By
a violent effort he loosened N'iya':
frantic embrace, and, still grasping her
clothing, struggled out of tbe mud ana
gained a firm foothold, exhausted and

falling over his shoulder in a thick
mass and floating on the stream.
Tbe incident bad been observed trom i
tbe chaya, aud a number of men now
stood on the bank, by whose aid the
wo were soon placed in safety. When
Kampei had seen the girl restored to
animation and given in charge ot tbe
female servants, be was forced to join
the other guests, by whom he was
clapped on the shoulders and praised as
a hero.
He slept soundly until awoke by the
harsh sound of tbe shutters being moved
in their grooves and by tbe sunlight
pouring in through the semi-transpar
ent screen. Being desirous of avoiding
N'iya he did not wait for breakfast, but
set out at once.
Kamiiel was overjoyed on reach Inrf
home to find bis parents well and
happy, their only trouble since bis de
parture having been that caused by tbe
avarice of their landlord. He was
pained to bear of (J-Suba's unfeeling
woids on the occasion of bis mother's
visit to the cottage, and tbe old lady's
story made it evident that tbe subse
quent sending of the money was chiefly
due to N'iya's intercession. Then it
occurred to him that tbe girl's present
position might be owing to a quarrel
with her relative on this very subject.
and tbe Idea made hlin remorseful.
Finally he was Informed that, despite
her engagement to him, O Suba bad
during his absence found another lover,
a European trader at one of the ports,
wim tiair aud beard golden as the
tresses of the sun goddess, aud that
there were rumors of their approaching
marriage.
His thought turned to poor Niya,
neglected by her relatives, insulted by
hiui, and lett to battle a'one with a
world that is so cruel to the weak.
Kampei long lay awake that night.
aud the result cf his meditations was
made known to his parents when be
sprang from bis mat soon after day
break. Tne old c juule approved of bis
proposals, and went to the veranda to
say farewell, and to wat:h him fondly
as he walked with a light step towards
the b.ghway, tying under his chin as
he went bis conical broad brimmed
straw hat. Before be had gone far his
father called him back. "Take my
purse, son," be said; "chaya keepers
are very hard to deal with unless they
see the money bag in your hand. 1 ou
HI und in this the gold pieces you
brought home yesterday."
The sun was still high in the heavens
when Kampei stopped at the "Chaya of
tbe Verdant Cherry Blossom," and,
after exchanging salutations with the
proprietor, begged to see tbe girl Niya.
She was brought into his presence,
looking pale and alarmed, and casting
timid glances at the young man from
under ner loo iasres. Mer bands
played nervousiy with ber fobe and she
looked about anxiously tor a place as
far as possible from Kampei.
'A iva, be said, "I am not angry
with you, but I want to know why you
left home."
A faint cry was her only reply.
"Had I any connection with it I.
Kampei?"
The girl wrung her bands and turned
ber face away, looking distressed, with
out, however, uttering a word.
ould you like to come home again.
little N'iya?" he weut on la an encour
aging voice.
1 ah, yah! you are too fast, young
sir!" broke in the master, who was sit
ting ou the veranda smoking, and lis
tening to Kampei. "You are too fast.
She is mine for two years. 1 have the
agreement signed by herself, with her
receipt for the money."
Money!'' cried Kampei. "She has
sold herself, then. But," he continued
more calmly, "I am willing to pay you
back again. See," aud saying this be
drew out bis purse, showing to tbe
master of the bouse a number of gold
coins. "How much was it, I pray you,
good sir?"
"Kighty riyos,, the host replied.
"Eighty riyos," echoed Kampei, a
light dawning upon him.
"Vtby," the host went on angrily,
that is the very purse in which 1 gave
the girl the money, and yet you pretend
n t to know that she is bound to me!
What is the meanlngjof this decite?"
Kampei recoiled. AH was now plain
to him. To save bis parents from ruin.
his father probably from death, this
poor girl, tenderly reared, sold herself
into virtual slavery, where exhausting
labor, ill treatment, even stripes, would
be ber lot! And be had almost allowed
her to drown herself when driven mad
by his taunts! i'oor N'iya! And she
did this for was it for his parents or
for him? The question made him
thoughtful.
Meanwhile N iya, ber forehead pressed
against the partition, sobbed. The
moment she longed for bad arrived.
Kampei now knew why she was there.
knew that it was for his sake she left
ber dear village, l et she was fright
ened. What business had she to inter
fere in the affairs of grown people?
What did she know of the great world
that she should face it so lightly?
Above everything there was Kampei
only a few feet from her, looking at
her most intensely she knew it with'
out turning around; she felt bis gaze
pierce ber there was Kampei and what
should she do?
Kampei rose, moved to N iya's side
and whispered: Vas it for my sake
you did this. N'iya?"
"Why should I do it for you?" she
replied, evasively.
'N'iya," he said, looking sharply at
her. "I am no longer afllanced to
O-Suba; she loves a fair haired for
eigner, and is about to marry him."
She turned quickly, ber cheeks glow
mg, ber eyes sparkling through tears
like the sun through mist, and in me
happy smile that lit up ber face Kam
pei read ber secret.
"Then you love me!" be cried; and
N'iya's smile add blush said 1 es."
"You did not consult the girl's rela
Uvea," said the young man, turning to
the host.
"She told me she had none," etam
mered the other, alarmed for me legal
ity of his agreement.
'Destroy the indenture, and receive
back your money, good sir, I beg.'
said Kampei.
Tbe tea bouse keeper agreed, and.
while the two men drank a cup to
gether be confided to Kampei that be
was not sorry to cancel toe oargatn, as
the girl did not suit. "She mopid too
much." be said; "she had some bidden
grief tbe cause of which." he added.
with a smile, i can now oivine."
O-Suba and her husband left Morioka
and went to live in one of tbe open
ports; and Kampei anil N'iya after their
M.nUJwl in. in. -it

three- children, whom their relatives
combine to ruin by indulgence; and tbe

Tremendous Appetite off ho Inhabi
tants oftue Arctic Region.
TThen we were at John Howland bay.
a month ago, on the Arctic coast, I was
visiting on tbe Hunter, where tbe sail
ors were scraping off me pieces of the
gum aJhering to the butt ends of the
whalebone. Tbe natives stood by, and
as the long shavings were rolled off
gathered them all up. eating what they
could bold, and storing the rest away
in their canoes. I tasted of the stuff
out of curiosity's sake, but dropped it
as soon as I could. Tbe flavor is about
as I would imagine a rotten raw peanut
to be. For a iiteady diet, I should hes
itate between that and faitb, but tbe
natives all evidently relished it exceed
ingly, aud they chewed by the bour, as
a schoolgirl would a piece of gum.
I lie greatest least X have seen the
natives have was about two weeks ago.
when several whalers were lying at
anchor under East cape, on me Asiatic
shore. A whale was raised at tbe
southward, working rapidly up along
the shore. Twenty-live or thirty whale
boats were immediately lowered, and
the gauntlet was to much for me whale.
He was soon captured and alongside tbe
Lucretia to be cut in. Seven canoe
loads of natives came off to claim their
share ot the whale, which custom has
d-lined as me 0ns, flukes (the tail), and
all the lean they can cut off. The
whale was a very large one, making in
the vicinitv of 140 barrels of oil, and
producing about 2,500 poundsjof whale
bone, bene i there was a great amount
of lean. How tbe natives did work to
save thisl To me tbe whole scene was
most amusing. Work was begun about
8 o'clock and finished soon after mid
night, but the sun set only to rise in
an bour or two, so it was daylight all
the time. The orhcers of the ship were
giving their orders, the donkey engine
was pulling away turning the windlass.
which rattled lide a dozen heavy log
chains. Twenty or thirty natives were
yelling like fiends. Huge sheets of
blubber were being hauled in at the
gangway.
Everything was excitement and noise.
The sea all about tbe ship was red with
blood, and natives were crawling all
along the whale's carcass, holding big
sheath knives in their teeth, cutting off
piece of meat when opportunity
offered, and jabbering away like so
many monkeys. Y ben they were
through witb the skeleton, it seemed
as if Uiey could not have removed any
more meat even wim a piece of sand
paper. All their canoes were loaded
down as full as they could carry wUh
.hit , -. - . . rtvr

The First Run on a Bank.
The extravagant luxury of me court
of Charles II, combined witb its utter
want of principle and Incapacity to
carry on tbe memorable contest witn
Holland, produced the first run upon
bankers that ever was made. Tbe
Government had suffered a succession
of humiliating disasters. Tbe extrava
gance of the court had dissipated all
the means that Farliament bad bud
plied for tbe purpose of carrying on of
fensive hostilities. It was finally de
termined to wage only defensive war.
but even for that me vast resources of
England were found insufficient. The
Dutch insulted tbe British Court, sail
ed up the Thames, took Sheerness, and
carried tbeir ravages to Chatham. Tbe
blaze of the burning ships was seen m
London, it was rumored that a foreign
army had landed at Oravesend, and
military meu seriously proposed to
abandon the Tower.
The people accustomed to the secure
re gn of Cromwell, were in consterna
tion. The moneyed portion ot the com
munity were seized with a panic. The
country was in danger; London itself
might be Invaded. hat security was
there then tor the money advanced to
the Crown? The people flocked to
their debtors and demanded their de
posits. London now wituessej tbe first
run upon the bankers!
The fears of tbe people, however.
proved groundless, for the goldsmiths.
as the bankers were then called, met all
demands that were made upon them.
Confidence was restored by royal proc
lamation mat the demands on the ex
chequer should be made as usual, and
the tun collapsed.

Their Tool 1
P. J. Jennings, an east side engineer
and machinist, tells an Interesting story
about his dealings with a burglar. He
was sitting in his office one day a few
months ago when two men entered
witb a design they wanted made of
steel. He took the Job and tnraed it
out according t order. The men
came next day. and after chatting
pleasantly about the boodle aldermen
and other matters of popular Interest in
the city, paid their bill and went away.
Several other designs were brought
him by tbe two men, and be got to
know mem quite well. He did not
learn their business, however, but it
13 such a common thing to deal with
men whom one knows only by sight,
that Mr. Jennings never bothered bis
bead about it.
But he found out who the men were
after all.
One day they called to have him
make half a dozen eight inch steel
screws. He promised them for 5
o'clock, but the men did not come.
He did not see them the uext day or
the next. On tbe third day one of
Finkerton's detectives dropped in upon
blm in the afternoon, carrying a hand
satchel. He opened it and threw a lot
of curiously shaped pieces of steel on
me table,
'Were these made in your shop, Mr.
Jennings?" casually remarked tbe de
tective. "Yes, that's our work."
Who did you make them forr"
'Now you've got me it's more than
I can tell. I uever bad any reason tc
Inquire, and the men didn't bother
about telling nie."
"But you are sure you made that
steel work here?"
"Yes, oh yes; I'm sure enough of
that."
Two days later Mr. Jennings was
subpoenaed by the prosecution as a
witness agalu3t two men who had at
tempted to crack the safe in a bank in
Ellenville, Ulster county. lie met a
Harlem machinist aud an iron worker
from down town at the court house in
Kingston. Finkerton's men opened
wide their eyes when be took the
pieces of steel that each bad shaped,
and, putting them together, showed
taem what a perfect sectional jimmy
they made.
A Girl's Gratitude.
"Minnie, I have come to take yon
home with me."
"No, Laura, I have no claim upon
you. Surely in this great world then
is something for me to do to teach oi
sew."
"But, Minnie, dear, we have been
like sisters ever since our school days;
you are too young to live alone. Come
and brighten my father's life and
mine." And after much pleading
Minnie consented to go.
Poor little giril She bad buried ber
Utlshed everything that wealth could
bny on his lovely daughter, had died
and left ber a penniless orphan, alone
to fight the battle of life.
Laura Uoodwln, who bad been her
chosen friend at school, had come to
comfort Minnie in her grief and
brought her father's cordial Invitation
to make bis house her permanent
abode. He bad been widowed himself
and could sympathize with the young
girl's sorrow for loss, aud readily sec
onded bis daughter's generous impulse.
And soon after Minnie's adveut into
the family there came another change.
Laura, the stately beauty, found that;
her heart bad wandered from tbe borne
boundary to rest upon another love
offered and accepted. Her lover was
a gentleman iu every way calculated
to make her happy a true, good man,
and Mr. Goodwin gave a willing con
sent to her marriage.
It wanted but a month of Laura's
wedding day. when one afternoon as
the girls were sitting in the parlor
waiting the summons to dinner a
heavy fall overhead startled both. Mr.
Goodwin's library, which was directly
above them, was evidently the room
whence the noise came; and, after a
moment of silent coirsternation, the
two ran swiftly upstairs. The friend
and father lay upon the floor, where be
bad fallen after leaving his chair,
struck down with paralysis, insensible.
The appointed wsdding-day was
over, when one morning Laura beck
oned Minnie from tbe invalid's room
and took ber Into her own chamber.
Her face was pale, but resolute, ber
eyes full of suppressed pain as she
said, "Minnie, will you do a painful
task forme?"
"You know that I will do anything
for you, Laura."
"Then you will see Herbert for me
and tell him this: Doctor Holmes said
to-day that my father would never re
gain the use of his lower limits. His
mind is now clear, and he can use his
irnis and bauds; but from the lower
limbs tbe power to move is gone for
life. He will be crippled, almost help
less; and I. his child, can never leave
him I"
"I will not tell Herbert, Laura, nor
must you break your engagement. You
will not hesitate to leave your father
in my care. My bauds will minister
to him as tenderly as jours; my feet
shall All the place of bis; my"
"Stopl this must not be," said Mr.
Goodwin. "1 cannot consent to bind
! your youth to my infirmity, your ac
; tlvity to my helplessness.''
; "You would keep Laura?"
"She is my child; her own love keeps
. her."
I "Her lovel" The child's pleading
face was gone, and she stood erect be

"Her love calls her to Herbert as truly
as mine Oh, spare me," she cried,
covering her hot blushes with ber hands.
, "Do not force me to tear away from

and she crept close to the bedside to
whisper, "that as Laura loves Her

A BLIND MAN OX MEMORY.
The Sightless Pupil PowrAim One
Vital Advantage Over His Com
panions. As partial compensation, In the midst
of his many discouragements, me sight
less pupil possesses one vital advantage
over his companions. His memory,
accustomed to seize and assimilate defi
nitions and miscellaneous information
at a single bearing, acquires both a
marvelous alertness and a pbenominal
retentive capacity which enable him to
master certain branches of study with
singular ease and rapidity. Deprived
of books and without any very ready
and reliable method of making notes,
be obtains a habit, often envied by the
seeing, of appropriating instantaneously
anything addressed to bis intellect
through bis hearing. Hence tbe pro
verbially good memory of tha blind
person. Ii is mind is his memorandum
book, always at band aud always open.
"To the present writer, who never
remembers having a lesson in anything
read over to him more than twice,
nothing is more strange and more
amusing than a room full of school
children, with fingers crammed in their
ears, buzzing over a lesson of three
pages for the fifteenth time. Equally
incomprehensible is it to see a man
making a note of a single address, or a
lady referring to a shopping list. Such
observations force one to the conclusion
that tbe art of writing, invaluable as it
is, has been disastrous to the human
memory. People have grown so to
rely on a piece of white paper covered
with black scratches, that if this be lost
or misplaced, they are reduced almost
to the condition of creatures without
intellect.
"So marked is the advantage of the
blind iu this respect as almost to atone
for their extra difficulties in others;
that is, tbe sightless pupil will acquire
scientific aad philosophical studies with
a rapidity which twill counterbalance
the greater amount of time demanded
by his less facile methods of writing out
exercises in linguistic and ciphering in
mathematical branches; so that in tak
ing the regular course at academy or
university, be will require, all in all,
neither more time nor more labor than
the average student.
"Of not less value in after life is this
extraordinarily trained and developed
memory. It enables the blind to derive
from lectures, conversation and general
reading ten times the benefit of others;
on whose mind a simple mention of
facts and thoughts make little or no
impression.
"Thus the law of compensation Is
seen working in all things, making
good on one band, approximately at
least, what is wanting on the other;
not by the special interference of Provi
dence or other power with natural con
ditions and processes, for the benefit of
the individual, as many claim, but
through me inevitable sequence of
enuxr na -t?t5-ot,by wriieh uubd fend
faculties become, through unusual
training, abnormally developed and
their value radically enhanced."
The Willow's Iaiij;IH-.
In the winter of 1804, while a por
tion of my regiment, the New York
Twenty-fifth Cavalry, was at Pleasant
Valley, Md., to obtain a remount,
word was received by the post com
mander that a Confederate scout
named William Baxter but who was
known to us as "Billy Bowlegs," was
on a visit to his mother who lived be
tween tbe l'otomac at that point and a
village in Virginia called Uuiontown.
There were a number of Colonel
Kane's "Bucktails" scouting for the
Federals and making Pleasant Valley
their headquarters, and as I bad been
detailed on several occasions for scout
Ber vice, aud had made a good record I
was instructed to seleet five men and
cross tbe river and secure "Billy" dead
or alive. The fact that he was at home
was fully established, and the location
of the farm house was known to two
of the men who accompanied me. We
were ferried across the Potomac one
evening at dusk just where the long
highway bridge had been burned and
then we had a walk of about eleveu
miles to make.
Although "Billy Bowlegs" wa3 a
fearless man and a handy shot, we
didn't figure that It needed five men to
capture him. The country between
the river and Uuioutown was then
overrun with bushwhackers aud guer
rillas, aud we anticipated more or less
trouble with them.
The scout had been twice captured
by the Federals, aud be was described .
to us as of blender build, medium
height, fair complexion and dark eyes.
Enough was known about his nerve to
know that he would not be taken alive
if he had any show to fight, and there
fore as we approached the house about
midnight from across a field we were
anxiously wondering how we should
get at him. If we knocked at the
door he would be alarmed and have
time to arm himself. If we broke in
we might and probably should find him
In bed. It was a still, clear night.
rather cold, and we bung about for
half an bour before adopting a plan.
,Then we decided to break in the doors.
Two of us went to the front and two
to the back door, while the fifth man
stood ready to receive the scout in case
be dropped from a second-story win
dow supposed to be in his bed-room.
We crept slowly up, and at a signal
both doors were burst . Xo, they
weren't! Xelther of them gave an
inch under the pressure, and in res
ponse to the efforts we made a woman's
voice called out:
. "Who is it, and what's wanted?"
"Open the door or we'll break it
down!"
"Wait one minute!"
She struck a light, and we heard her
moving about, and in a couple of min
utes the front door opened and a gray-
haired woman ot 45 stood there with a
candle in her hand.
"Union soldiers, eh? Come right
in," she said smiling as if glad to see
us.
I posted three of the men around the
house and entered with me other, and
as soon as I was inside, 1 said:
"Madam, we have come for your son.
We know he is here. We shall take
him dead or alive."
"Oh, you have come for BUly, have
you I" exclaimed a girl about Is years
of age who came running down stairs
at that moment. -Excuse me, gen
tiemen, for not being fully dressed, but
you see you didn't send us any word,
She laughed in a merry way. while
me mother smiled good-naturedly. She
bad on a neat fitting calio dress, a
ribbon at her throat, and except that
ber hair looked "tumbled" she looked
as well prepared as if she expected our
coming.
"Yes, Jennie, they want Billy," said
the mother as she placed the candle on
a stand.
"And we are bound to take him,
dead or alive!" I added in a loud voice,
suspecting the scout was within hear
ing. 'Oh, how sorry!" laughed the girl.
"If brother Billy had only known you
were coming! But he didn't, you see,
and so he went away at dark. He'll
never forgive himself never."
"We must search the house," I
said.
"Oh, certainly. Mammy, you light
another candle and I'll show the gen
tlemen ; around. Perhaps the sight of
Billy's old clothes will do 'em good.
Well, sir, we hunted that bouse
from attic to cellar, and all we found
was an old suit of Billy's clothes. The
scout had skipped, and the best I could
do was to aiologize to mother and
daughter, accept a midnight luncheon
at the hands of the latter, and take the
back track for the river. I'll own up,
too, that I was "dead gone" on Jennie
before I left, and that I said to her, as
I squeezed her hand at parting:
"When the war is over I am coming
to ask you to be my wife."
"And and I'll say say y-e s," she
whispered iu my ear.
We got back to the ferry soon after
daylight and there met a Union farmer
living neighbor to the widow. When
he beard what we bad been up to he
asked:
"Was the widder all alone?"
"Xo; her daughter Jennie was
there."
Daughter Jenniel Describe her."
"Good looking girl of medium height,
black eyes and hair, and a sweet talker.
I'm going back to marry ber after the
war is over. "
"Bet you a farm you don't! That
ar' gal Jennie was nobody else but
that ar' scout, Billy Bowlegs! He jist
jumped into some of his mammy's, and
you pig heads couldn't see through it!"
He was right. I met Billy In Har
per's Ferry after the war, and he
wanted to know if I bad taken out tbe
marriage license yet.
Za.lkl.l the
Ileal Autocrat of tbe
Turks.
A study of Turkish superstition
might help to explain much that is
mysterious in the news telegraphed
daily from Stamboul to the newspapers
of the Giaour. Notwithstanding flie
progress the Turks have made of late
years in the arts of civilization, Zad
kiel is supreme king over the length
and breadth of the Ottoman empire.
From the highest to the lowest, all are
a prey to the devoutest superstition.
The office of munedjim baaui. or court
astrologer, still exists. Its present oc
cupant, Hadji Tahir Effendi, was un
til 1S77 president of the council of ed
ucation, and during the short exist
ence of the Turkish parliament, nine
years ago, was created a senator. His
duties are not ot a very complex kind,
but they have an important bearing on
political and Suciul movumontn. For
every action of the sultan and his min
isters he has to calculate the most
propitious day, hour and eveu minute;
and he publishes annually an almanac
in which, for the benefit of the whole
Mohammedan population, the days are
specified on which it is best to have the
hair cut r the nails trimmed, buy
houses, lands or slaves, to undertake a
journey, aud even to do nothing. Next
to the koran no work is more widely
studied among the subjects f the pa
dlshah, aud It is very doubtful whether
even the great evangel of the prophet
is more scrupulously obeyed.
Much UiHt is inexplicable in diploma
tic negotiations at Stamboul might be
accounted for If it were found that the
proverbial Ill-luck of Sundays, Tues
days and Saturdays had not been duly
couside ed, or that proper attention
was not paid to the seven evil days in
every lunar mouth, ox to the unlucky
character of the month of Safer, the
second month in the Arabic calendar.
Xo Turk would be bold enough to en
ter a new house or undertake a journey
of these unpropituous days when the
slieytaus or devils are abroad, much
less consider seriously a question of
politics. It goes without saying that
the average Turk thoroughly Indorses
the pathological eccentricities of the
peculiar people and the cosmic
heresies of Mr. John Hampden. In
severe cases of sickness the services of
the hakim are dispensed with, aud the
prayers of a sheikh or holy man are re
quisitioned. As for the globular shape
of the earth and its alleged revolutions.
the intelligent Mohammedan laughs
such follies to scorn. The disappear
ance of the sun at night Is accounted
for by the periodical retirement of that
pious luminary for prayer aud religious
reflection.
Day ol' I he Week at Manilla.
Although the Philippine Islands He
near to the Asiatic coast it was by
Spaniards who sailed eastward from
America that thev were settled. Did
they revise their calendar when they
crossed tbe magic tine aud strike out a
day to keep themselves abreast of tbe
times? N'o such thing; the Spanish
dons of that day were a proud and uery
folk, and if their calendar did not agree
with the times then so much the worse
for the times. Anyhow, the fact re
mains that when they arrived at the
Manilla or Philippine Islands they still
reckoned by the calendar which had
beeu taken from Spain to America,
and from America by them on tbeir
voyage. They were, of course, a day
in arrear; but as tlure not then any
important settlemer ts of civilized na
tions thereabouts with whom the date
could be compared the date was not
noticed; the reckoning took firm bold,
and, in consequence, the inhabitants of
Manilla keep plodding along one day
behind all their immediate neighbors.
A Sign That Worked Both Way
"I'm not tbe least superstitious,"
said a lady in the street car to her es
cort, "but there is one sign that I ve
never known to fall. If I see the i ew
moon over my left shoulder I'm just as
sure to have bad luck as can be, and if
I see It over my right shoulder 1 always
hava gojd luck."
"That is very remarkable."
"Isn't it. Now last month I saw the
moon over my left shoulder, and the
very next day 1 went out riding on
Dolly and she threw me. Wasn't that
awful luck?"
"It was, indeed. Did you ever know
it to work the other way?"
"Certainly I have. I saw the moon
over my right shoulder this month, and
the other day when 1 was out riming,
and the horse overturned the carriage.
I didn't eveu get hurt, although I
m'ght have been killfd. Oh, I'm sure i'
never falls.
