Jane's resolution to avenge the murder
of Jacob Lynn was by no means a fleet
ing impulse. The difficulties that seemed
to present themselves even at first sight
In no wise daunted her. nor was she
afraid of the discovery that might be the
outcome of her researches, for nothing
eould be more cruel than the suspense
that was torturing her, no certainty more
hateful than the suspicion which at pres
ent she was obliged to feel. By an In
tinct stronger than any evidence of ac
tual fact she was persuaded that he had
died because of her; and none other than
Stephen Prinsep knowing the persecution
she had endured at his hands. It seemed
only too clear wherein lay the motive for
the crime, and that he had been the mur
derer she could not doubt.
That he had sinned for her sake count
ed nothing in his favor; It seemed instead
to add to the blackness of the crime by
making her iu a way a participator in It.
Had it not been so she might have felt
less bound to disinter the truth.
From first to last it had been her own
fault hers only; or so it seemed now.
She had meant all for the best, but she
thought with bitterness that had she been
Well-iutentioned, things might have turn
ed out better. Her father's words re
curred to her that the consequence re
mained when the actual fault was dead
or forgotten, and the aphorism seemed
the wiser that sho herself had proved it
true.
Having decided that it was her duty to
bring the murderer to justice, however It
might pain herself and she knew that it
would be less painful to suffer in his
tead than betray Stephen Prlnsep she
lost no time in putting her resolve Into ex
ecution. Her first move was to visit the spot
where Jacob Lynn had been found dead;
and having managed to evade her moth
er's companionship, she set out alone.
But on arrival she found a small group
of people assembled there, curiously ex
amining the ground; for the interest ex
cited by the murder had been wide
spread. Sh. MflMtl ou quickly, and a few min
utes' walk brought her on to the parade
ground. Hesitating for a moment whether
to return later, or to relinquish her pur
pose for that day, her glance happened to
fall upon the end house of the married
men's barracks, and she remembered that
the woman who lived there had been ill,
and she had meant for some time to go
and see her.
Crossing the parade ground, the
thought struck her that if Jacob Lynn
was accompanied on the afternoon be was
murdered, the inmates of that end house
would be the most likely to know of it.
It was perhaps a fortunate coincidence
that had brought her here.
The woman was at home, and well
enough to be pleased to see a visitor. She
was lying back in a straw easy-chair on
the veranda, and, seeing Jane approach
ing, tried to move to meet her.
"Don't get up, Mrs. Phillips, You are
not able to do so, 1 am sure. I did not
expect you would be out of bed."
"I have been sitting out of doors for
Jie last week. 1 was sitting here the very
day Lynn went to his death. It gave me
auch a shock that I was thrown back
more than a bit. If it hadn't been for
him I should have been well by this time
not that it was his fault, poor fellow."
Jane had flushed at the unexpected men
tion of the very inline she was anxious to
Introduce. lint she was too confused to
take advantage of it. However, Mrs.
Phillips required no encouragement to
continue a conversation, and went on
briskly:
They would have had me up at the In
quest, no doubt, but I was that upset X
couldn't have answered a question they
asked me. And, besides, what I knew
there were others knew as well as I."
"Yon mean." asked Jane, nervously, for
fcer role of amateur detective was emi
nently distasteful to her, "you mean yon
only saw him pass alone?"
"That's all. I saw the khidmatgtr pass
the man who found him, you know. I
aaw no one else go by that ffrtemoon, ex
ceptI had forgotten that somebody
passed in gray clothes. I couldn't see
whe he was, but he must have atruak
cms toward the hospital, for his nam
didn't come out at the inquest.
"Very likely. The two roads branch off
at once. You did not happen to see who
ft was?"
"No; I never thought of It till now. I
Just saw that he was tall and wore a
(ray suit. And after all It didn't matter,
M he had nothing to do with it?"
"2'o, of course not," agreed Jane, ris
ing. "I am very glad you are better, Mrs.
Phillips. My mother will be glad, too.
She has been talking about coming to see
ron ever since she tirst heard yon were
llL"
Returning by the way she had come,
this time there was no one passing along
by the short cut. and she stood in the
Besetted compound, wondering what good
he had done by coming there. If there
had been anything to lead to a discovery,
K would have been found before this.
Bat evidence seemed to crop tip without
her Tolition. Moving her foot restlessly
against the broken stump of a tree an
outstanding twig broke, and, as It fell
way, she saw something wedged in be
tween the roots. She stooped and loosen
ed it. It was a mother-of pearl button
attached to n piece of smooth gray cloth,
such as might have been torn from
gentleman's short gaiter.
rutinnoi PrinseD wore such short gaiters
the knew; but then so many others in the
regiment wore them, too, that nnlesa ahe
toold actually fit the piece she held in her
hand Into the part from which it had been
torn, nothing could be proved.
That, of course, was impossible, and be
ing so. all her discoveries were useless.
Bhe had distressed herself to no purpose,
and the end was as far away as ever.
With the button tightly clasped In he?
band, she watted slowly home, thinking
over what she already guessed, and what
atill remained to be conjectured. Bhe re
membered stories she had read of fathers
who had sacrificed their own aona to a
sense of justice, and wives who had given
up their husbands, forgetting their lora
for the sinner in their loathing for the
atns that had been committed; but aha
was no heroine, and aha felt rollers that

mystery of JacobLynn'a death mfght re
main a mystery to all time.
For several days after this ahe re
mained Inactive. Too troubled to dare
to give herself leisure to think, ahe spent
most of her time in reading; and by a
curious coincidence, in one of the books
with which ahe had chosen to distract
her thoughts was an account of a woman
tracing out the detaila of a crime and
eventually discovering the murderer. By
means of a disguise she had entered a
house that was otherwise effectually
closed against her, and so possessed her
self of the necessary proofs. Armed wtrh
these, the rest had been easy; no further
obstacles prevented her from gratifying
the revenge which had urged her on.
Jane let the book fall Into her lap. It
floated vaguely across her mind that. If
so much had been already done by a wo
man, surely ahe might have done more.
It was from no ignoble motive she wished
to bring the murderer to justice, but from
a feeling of duty stronger than her In
clination. It was while undecided, still
doubtful of her own powers, and whether
It would be right to use them so, that
Major Larron called.
He came ostensibly to bring her a num
ber of the regimental paper. The th
Hussars had always formerly had a pub
lication of the sort, but latterly from
various causes It had fallen Into disuse,
and Its revival was only resolved upon
a month before. This was the first num
ber. "A boy was just coming out of the
frintlng-room with a bundle of them as
passed: I thought yon would like to
see one," he explained, in excuse for his
somewhat early visit.
"You are alwaya very kind In thinking
of me," she answered, soberly.
"More because I cannot help myself
man rrom any encouragement I receive.
Jane's short upper lip, usually so mo
bile and tremulously aweet. settled Itself
into an expression of obstinate determi
nation. His friendship, alwaya patent,
yet never demonstratively so, she valued
highly; but she had no intention of drift
ing into any closer relations. To avoid
meeting his gaze she began cutting th
leaves of the paper he had given into hei
hands.
"Don't misunderstand me," he went on,
with a grave inipresslveness In harmony
with his dark, earnest eyes. "I don't re
quire encouragement or thanks. I only
want yon to rrn.t In me, and believe that
In no other position could I be happier ot
prouder than I am now as your slave."
"I thought the days of slavery we if
aver" trying to smile.
"Compulsory slavery, no doubt; but It
is of my own free will I would render the
labor of my hands and brain; and I
would not be emancipated if I could."
She did not reply. Looking up cau
tiously to see the effect of his words, he
saw that she was frowning, more as
though vexed than confused by what he
had said. He had spoken deliberately,
and not from impulse as it had appeared,
thinking that it was time to press his
suit upon her attention.
Everything comes to him who waits:
; but it was possible to wait too long, too
pauenny. ranence might be mistaken
for weakness of purpose or want of spirit,
faults not easily forgiven by a woman.
So he had thouaht: but discovering hi.
j mistake, he hastened to rectify it. No
j woman wooed in such a humor as that
. Jane'a restless frown portended was ever
j won, even though so skill sd a diplomatist
aa himself should be the wooer.
"I am boring you; I can see it," he
' said, laughing pleasantly. "Men in love
are alwaya prone to discuss their own
feeling to the exclusion of other snb
I jects of livelier Interest; but I won't
j transgress again, I promise. Have you
j heard that Miss Knollya has again re
fused to be Mrs. UreyT"
"Is that the last piece of station gos
sip?" laughing, too.
"The very last. He Is his own betrayer
this time. I fancy even his persistence
la becoming exhausted; he was almost
' rude in his abruptness to the Colonel at
mesa last night."
j "Why?"
"He has taken It Into his head that it
' Is his rivalry he has to fear; and" slow
ly "I sm not sure but that he is right,
t No woman, unleaa she had some mors
favored lover, could be Indifferent to such
untiring devotion. What do you think,
Iiss Knox?"
I "I have not sufficiently considered the
subject for my opinion to be of any value,
I am afraid," she answered, coldly.
I A minute later the Indifference she had
I assumed vanished from her face, and an
j expression of horror and contempt took
its place as her eyes fell upon something
I on the paper in her lap.
"Oh, how could he how could be!" she
cried, vehemently, and rising hastily, as
though to put away a frightful thought.
ahe went over to the window at th
further end of the room.
The paper had fluttered to the ground,
and Barry Larron, picking it up imme
diately, let his glance travel swiftly over
the exposed page. Only one item of any
possible interest was among the mass of
regimental matter; and even that at first
sight seemed incapable of having caused
such evident agitation.
"Colonel Prinsep, with his usual gener
osity and thoughtful perception of a feel
ing now general that some monument
should be erected to the memory of
Trooper Lynn, has expressed his inten
tion of providing a cross bearing the date
and circumstance of his death, and testi
fying to the universal regret felt by the
regiment at his mysterious and untimely
end."
Turning sharply, Jane saw that Maior
Larron held the paper in his hand, saw
i perceived that he had already read the
'paragraph which had excited her indig
oarion." ; "Is It true?" she asked, clasping her
sands impressively, forgetting that she
was making clear her suspicions, in the
uncontrollable repulsion she felt at the
thought that the murderer should be the
one to raise a memorial over his own vie
tim.
I Like a lightning flash, as she spoke, the
ase revealed itself to Major Larron, and
for an instant he waa horrified, having
no room In his mind for anything save
the one thought that Stephen Prinsep, his
I Colonel, was considered capable of the
dastardly crime of Having intentionally
or otherwise killed a trooper In the regi
ment. He was about to hotly refute the
I imputation when a second thought struck
' him, that perhaps this might be turned
to his advantage, and he restrained him
self.
h IWhr ihtnJ4Jtt.nflt .ba, r Wfcat
could bi more natural than that the Col.
onel should present a monument as there
was no regimental subscription?" he
added, guardedly.
He folded up the paper and laid it
quietly on one aide. In his own mind he
decided that he had behaved generously
In the matter In not having by word or
glance done anything to strengthen her
belief in the Colonel's guilt. That he
ahould put himself out of the way to de
fend him was not to be expected. Yet he
hoped that she would not introduce the
subject again, for he felt himself unable
even to simulate credulity. Indeed, a
feeling of camaraderie which he himself
would have stigmatized as a weakness,
and on this account hesitated to ac
knowledge, made him absolutely angry
with her for supposing such a thing.
Not until he had left the house did the
thought strike him that there might hav
been some method In the madness.

OAK FORESTS OF AMERICA.
Sapid Disappearance of Wood, that
Were Once tne Nation'. Pride.
The magnificent oak forests north or
the Ohio river, In the central part of
the Northern States, have largely dis
appeared. Within the last five years
there has been an Increasing demand
for oak in spite of business depression,
more especially for such timber as goes
Into house finishing, including plain
and quarter-sawed oak and white oak.
The duration of the Wisconsin red oak
supply Is now pretty plainly indicated,
and in the meantime remnants of In
diana, Oh'.o, Michigan and southern Illi
nois oak will hare disappeared, except
In small farm holdings, and the great
bulk of the supply will thereafter come
from south of the Ohio. Of course,
there is oak in all the Southern States,
but the alluvial bottom lands must fur
nish the great bulk of the timber, and
aa Kentucky and Tennessee and West
Virginia are partly denuded, the main
supply will soon be derived from the
lower Mississippi and Its tributaries.
If the finest area of oak timber In the
world, namely, that north of the Ohio
river, has been stripped while the
country's population and Industries
were comparatively small, how long
will the remaining supply last when the
needs are measured by our future pop
ulation and Industrial development?
Walnut Is gone; cherry, birch and ma
ple will not last many years, and there
fore the demand for oak will be much
greater and will rapidly Increase. It
must be remembered, too, that oak
lands are good for agriculture after
the timber Is cut, and for this reason
the denudation will go on with greater
rapidity than on the lands less valua
ble for tillage. When the tide of emi
gration sets strongly toward the allu
vial areas of the lower Mississippi and
Its tributaries the hardwood forests will
melt rapidly away before the attacks of
the farmer. It Is for this reason that
large holdings of southern oak and oth
er bard woods are now being secured
In the South. After a few years oppor
tunities for such investments on a large
scale will be gone forever.
Death of a Vagabond.
Together they limped Into the little
shelter for animals In East One Hun
dred and Second street. It was a ques
tion which was the more ragged and
disreputable, the dog or the tramp. In
one respect the tramp had the best of
It. He limped with only two legs, and
his companion was lame In three.
They stood there In the little office
llde by side, both looking at the man
who sat behind the desk, making en
tries in a book.
"Say, mister," said the tramp, "what
can you do for me frien' here?"
"What is the matter with him?"
"If you can discover anything that
ain't the trouble with 'lm, you're aa
artist. Me frien's suffering with pre
mature baldness, one eye's gone, and he
got locomotor stacks. He ain't no Beau
BrnmmeL mister, but he's the squarest

can fix him up we'll pay ye some day.
"If yer can't," and almost unconsci
ously the tramp lowered his voice, "I
wont yer to send Mm over the bay by
the smoothest road yer got."
The superintendent examined the dog
gently, and then told the wanderer that
there was no hope. The weary little
waif had outlived his usefulness and
was better dead.
Without a word the tramp handed
j the frayed rope to the superintendent,
and when the official led the poor dog
into the room from which no canine
traveler ever returns, he followed.
"Good-by, pard," he said, reaching
out his hand. His friend solemnly
raised his one sound paw, and they
! shook hands silently and reverently,
' as old friends do who are about to part
for a long time.
Then the tramp walked alone out Into
the street New York Press.

One early morning In June, 1873, thi
writer saw a kingly Arab entering an
outlying street of biout, Egypt, at the
head of a small caravan of camels. His
attendants followed with a firm and self-
reliant step and swing which told of the
Wide free life of the desert. The humps

Lrimea and a limited district around Con
Itantlnople. The animal has been in use
tor centuries In Tuscany and its use la
low rapidly increasing in Australia, in
R-hich region he is extensively bred. No
ininial can supply his place in the coun
ties named. Kailroads alone will even
niaily render his use as a common car
rier unnecessary. The camel is to Asiatic
ud the African what the dog is to the
Esquimaux, the reindeer to the Laplander,
the vessel to the seaman and the locomo
tive to the American and European.
The most recent extension of the use of
.he camel is found in Australia. These
iniinals were first taken there by the
Burke and Wells party in 1862. Besides
the importations from Asia, there are now
leveral breeding stations In Australia.
There are many Afghan and European
:a rrying companies there using nothing
tut camels, conveying passengers and
,'rcight from one part of the interior to
mother. These camels carry from 400
o 1,000 pounds. In some cases Europesns
lave learned to act as camel drivers, but
jhe Afghans understand and manage
the animals better. The distances made
y some of the riding camels in Australia
lave been remarkable. A very fast camel
lelonging to Sir Thomas Elder, a heavy
mporter of these animals, carried a doc
tor and the Afghan rider over 300 miles

The Camel's Orlsln.
The story of a German philosopher who
evolved a camel from his iuuer con
iciousness" is not strictly iu harmony
rith the requirements ot exsct science,
two things have adapted themselves to
the desert, the date palm and the camel,
ind both are essential to any picture of
t, and one who has seen and used "the
ihip of the desert" in Africa ought to be
ible to tell of it with some accuracy, for
ts story is full of interest.
Considered historically and geologically,1
lie camel of the Great Indian, African
ind Bactrian deserts is not a product
if the old world, but the earliest evidence
if bis ancestors is to be found in Amer
ca, and the new world still contains the
reater number of species of the family,
n such as the llama, the alpaca, the
manaco and their relatives. The Asiatic
ind African camels are merely the sur
'iving Oriental members of a family
rholly American in origin, but stranded
n a remote section of the old world, where
hey have survived the competition of
lewer and higher typea in virtue of some
ipecial adaptations to their peculiar hab-'
tat, their desert resisting qualities. Over

wntinents csniels and their allies once

lerce competition of higher ruminants'

is a group, antedate the development of
lorned or antlered ruminants, and they
till possess in full canine and Incisor

lltered in shape in all the higher and
ater ruminants. The giraffe, too, another
remnant of an earlier age, shows in his

low common to the rumiiants. The un
tainly and shambling camel is simply a
ipecialized and adapted desert variation
Irom the common ancestor of the horse;

lttle avail upon a sandy desert. His
feet sink into the yielding sands and he
luickly tires of travel, while the drome
lary, with his pecultsrly padded sole,
takes a loose, shambling trot and seems
tasily to accomplish a hundred miles a
lay for a week together, bearing a load
iqual to the weight of two riders. On
.ills snd rocks the camel is not so useful,
tat on the open, sandy deserts he is a
naster with which no other animal can
tompete.
Camels, then, are really surviving speci
nens of the raw material from which,
y natural and sexual selection, the higher
ruminants in diverging lines have been
dowly evolved during innumerable ages.

Personal Experience.
At an earlier period In the writer's IT
when he had more money than sense, he
saw fit to spend aom. months in the desert
regions of Egypt, Syria and Northern
Arabia, and he will never cease to wonder
why any sane man will voluntarily sub
ject himself to the discomforts and annoy
ances of caravan journeys, with their
flies, fleas and filth, both animal and hu
man. The dark blue skies of the long,
cloudless days, and the marvelous moon
light and starlight of the nights are almost
everything he recalls with pleasure con
cerning Syrian journeying. Over the hot
and desolate sands, especially at any dis
tance in the interior, the camel is the only
means of transportation.. On the borders
of the deserts the ass, the quadrupedal
variety, not the Arab, is in common use.
'I'here can be little doubt that the pa
tience with which Job is credited was
wholly derived from imitating that quality
in his six thousand camels. Many a time
have we seen a camel patiently carry his
ueary load till he was just ready to die
with exhaustion, and then fall. Too often
he fell to die, when a little delay was
caused to transfer his load and to take
off his skin. A halt of this kind under

We hsv. never seen a camel carry morn
than half a ton, and that not for a great
distance, but he will carry from 500 to
600 pounds fifty miles in a day, and for
many successive days. A friend tells ut
that he once saw a camel rise from tht
ground with a load weighing 1,300 pounds.
Good riding camels will go one hundred
miles a day for ten or twelve days in
succession and not seem to mind it. Cam
els have made forced journeys of
8v miles In twenty-four hours. Cam
els, like horses, will bring from $75 to
f 1,000 apiece. Their food upon a jour
ney Is very simple. They crop almost any
dry herbage, and especially delight in a
diet of thistles. On long journeys they
are often fed a dough or coarse bread
made of meal and beans, and seem to be
satisfied with three or four pounds of it
for a meal. The camel will go from three
to five days without drinking, his stomach"
storing up water and supplying it as hi
digestion needs It.
An American Experiment.
In 1853 Congress appropriated $30,000;
for the purchase of camels to be used iu
carrying army freight in the arid regions
of Teaas and the Southwest. Animals'
were purchased in Asia Minor and Egypt
and brought to Indianola, Texas. An in
quiry at the War Department as to the
result of this experiment brings the fol
lowing answer:
"It was demonstrated, after several
years' trial by the quartermaster's depart
ment, that the camels fe-Khased under
authority of law went adapted for
military transportation, and the entire
herd was sold at anction on March 8
1868." DUANE DOTV.
A $SO,6bo Apple Tree.
An expensive apple tree stands on the
Albert Smith farm In South Strabane
Township, near Washington, Pa. It
has cost Its owner over $45,000. In 18S7,
when the Smith pool-gushers com
menced to break the oil market and
ruin speculators, the company which
held the lease on the Smith farm de
cided to locate a well near the boundary
line of the Cameron and Smith prop
erties.
The owner of the land objected to the
location, claiming that If made on the
spot chosen a favorite apple tree would
have to be cut down. The manager ot
the drilling company, believing that the
location was a promising one, decided
to gain his end and get even with the
troublesome landowner at the earns
time.
He had the timbers hauled a few feet,

to how the earnings of the railways
were affected by the war of the rebel.
Hon.
Since that time the changes of names

general as to make It difficult to get
iceurate statistics. With respect, how
ever, to the Illinois CentralL official fig
ares taken from the report of the Rail
road and Warehouse Commission for
1804 are Interesting and complete.
That report "hows the gross receipts

In the Mississippi Valley, this railroad
rarned $8,841,786, while In four years

That the business of the railway was
rreatly stimulated by the war Is shown
y the sudden drop In earnings during

The method followed in these hunts Is
for the farmers and their help to spread

ouls have gone over It. Millions more will

The prophets and apostles, too.
Pursued this road while here below.
We therefore will, without dlsmav,
Btill walk in Christ, the good old way.
First, this road of the text Is the King I
ttghway. In the diligence you dash on ovei
the Bernard pass of the Alps, mile aftei
Bile, and there Is not so much as a pebble to

road built and supported by Governmental
luthority. Well, my Lord the King decided
lo build a highway from earth to heaven. It
mould span all the ehaams of human
eretoheduess; it should tunnel all the
nountaina of earthly dlffloultyi It should be
side enough and strong enough to hold
Ifty thousand millions of the human raoe,
S so many of them should ever be born; It
ihou'.d be blasted out of the "rock of ages"

iross snd be lifted amid ths shout

he King sent His Son to build that road. Hs
rat head and hand and heart to It, and after
me roaa was completed waved His blistered
land over the way, crying, "It Is finished!''.
Hapoleon paid 15.000,000 francs for the builds
kig of the Blmplon road that his eannoq
night go over for the devastation of Italy,
lut our King at a great expense has built sj
toad for a different purpose, that the ban
ters of heavenly dominion might comedown
ver It. Being a King's highway, of eouraS
t is well boilt. Bridge, splendidly arched
ud buttressed have given way and crushed
the passengers who attempted to eroas them.
But Christ the King would but Id no suck
thing as that. The work done. Re mount!
she chariot of Bis love, and multitude
nount with Him. and He drives on and ns
lie steep of heaven amid the plaudits of gas)
tng worlda. The work Is done wU done
f lortously done magnificently dona.
Still further, this road spoken of Is a cleat
road. Many a fine road has become mlrj
ud foul be aus. it bas not been properly
lared for, but my text says ths unclean shall
not walk on this one. Room on either aids
:o throw away your sins. Indeed, if yoa.
rant to carry them along yon are not on th
right road. That bridge will break, thoss
tverhanging rooks will fall, ths night will
some down leaving yon at the mercy of th
nountaln bandits, and at the very next turn
f the road you will perish. But If yon art
really on this clean road of which I havl
seen speaking, then yoa will stop ever an4
soon to wash in the water that stands in thi
Wsln of the eternal rook.
Aye, at almost every step ef the Journey
rou will be crying out: "Create within ml
s clean heart.' It yon have no sueh asnlran
ations as that, it proves that yon have mis
taken your way, and It yoa will only lool

yon may read upon it the words, "There 1st

road. "The wayfaring men. though fooli

will not get on at all. Christ says "Come t

glorious destiny.
Still further, this road to heaven Is a saN
