I Held Prisoner. S

l ARBARA MARTIN sat In the.
w honeysuckle arbor, knitting. It
was only 9 o'clock In the morn
ing. Since the Conqueror as she called
her came, she had had no resource
gainst time except knitting and mis
sionary work, and even her charity-loving
heart could not find the shadow of
an excuse for making poor-calls tbl
morning.
- Moreover, Barbara loved charity
work, and hated knitting; and it was
this same hate that made her cling to It
so assiduously. If she had lived in the
Middle Ages, she would have provided
herself with aack-cloth and ashes.
It was June, and the odors of honey
suckles and roses were mingled with
those of ripening strawberries and pun
gent garden herbs. Pollen dusted bees
and Irldesceut butterflies flitted about
In the sunshlrte, and among the ten
drils of the g ipevlne above her head
was the half concealed nest of a wren.
Nothing was atrald of Barbara. Even
now one of the wrens was twittering
not three feet away from her clicking
needles.
But Barbara was In a disturbed
frame of mind this morning, and not
even conscious of her tiny friend's pres
ence. She could hear the Conqueror
bustling about In the kitchen her
kitchen now rattling dishes, opening
and shutting doors, whistling to the
canary bird, and now and then Indulg
ing in a snatch of high pitched, breezy
song. The Conqueror was a splendid
housekeeper, but she was so energetic,
and so strong-minded, and so capable.
She did all her housework, looked after
the poultry and flower garden, was
president of the missionary society, and
found plenty of time to visit and re
ceive calls. Barbara admired her vast
ly, but she could never quite under
stand bow one woman could accom
plish so much. Every morning her con
science made her offer to help with the
work, and every morning the Con
queror said that slow help waa a
bother.
And that Is why Barbara's mornings
were spent In the arbor, or out making
poor-calls.
For twenty-three years she had been
undisputed mistress, doing the work In
her quiet, prim, lady-like way, never
dreaming that the years would bring
any great change. She had been house
keeper for her father until he died.' and
afterwards for her brother. He had
Just passed his fortieth birthday, and
he her forty-third, when the Con
queror came.
Barbara was not combative, bat at
the end of a month she had gone to her
brother and asked for her share of the
-rty so that she might go and live
Hu IulaitotiMier have
-Jid, furthe. .wore, he had ad vac
the unnecessary argument that she was
getting too old to live by herself. She
had winced a little at this thrust; but It
was true, she told herself remorseless
ly; she was getting to be quite an old
woman. And yet her skin was still soft
and her cheeks had the same delicate
flush that made her a belle In the far
off days of her girlhood, and there was
not a single gray Intruder among all
the glossy brown hair that was coiled
and massed upon her head.
She was thinking of the future now.
trying to steel herself to do something
desperate; to go away, to seek employ
ment anything. If her brother would
not give up her share of the property
he would surely be able to earn a liv
ing somewhere.
"O, here you are, Miss Barbara 1 I've
looked for you everywhere," and Kate,
the Conqueror's sister, bustled into the
arbor and plumped herself down on the
seat. Kate was 18, very vivacious, and
very much in love with herself.
"O, Miss Barbara, have you heard the
news? The Rev. Percy Thompson,
missionary to China, Is coming to
Brldgewater and Is going to lecture to
the missionary society next week, and
Is coming here to stay. What do you
think of that? Oolng to stay here with
us a whole week."
Barbara arose quickly, then sat down
and began to ply her needles with des
perate energy.
"What do you mean, child?" she
gasped, in a voice that she Intended to
be calm. "How do you know?"
"Tour brother was at the station
when he got off the train this morning,
and he invited him here. I was In your
brother's office and saw him, and he's
Just splendid six feet high and more,
and carries himself like a regular sol
dier. Your brother told me to hurry
back and let you know be was coming."
She was silent for a few moments, with
a self-satisfied smile on her pretty face,
then burst out with: "I'm going to set
my cap at him. I'm Just sick and tired
of this poky place, and I always did
want to go to China and foreign coun
tries." "Child, child," remonstrated Barbara,
"he's more than twice your age."
"Only 45. I heard him tell your
brother so. That's Just the right age
In a man. And there's nobody here can
hold a candle to him. I don't believ
there are many real handsome women
In China; and, do you know. Miss Bar
bara, a clever girl can do almost any
thing with a man In a week.
- "Maybe he's married, child."
"No, he Isn't. He has a charming
noose. I saw the photo. And has a
man to cook and do his work. My sis
ter says I must look sharp, for he
awfully rich, even if he is a mission
ary." 8he was silent again for some
minutes, tapping her foot complacent
ly against the rustic work of the arbor.
Then she looked at Barbara with sud
den Interest. . '
"He said he used to live here when
be was a young man. Did you know
him. Miss Barbara?"
"He went to school with brother and
me," said Barbara, quietly. "He used
to live in that house across the street
I believe he was considered a very nice
young man then."
"I should think so." scornfully. "At
any rate, he's the finest man I ever
saw. But there they come now I" and
she harried away.
Barbara did not rise. But half as
hour later she was conscious that some
one had left the house and waa coming
directly toward the arbor. And she
rojf calml and gave him bar hand.
1 am glad to see yon, Percy," she
aid, cordially. "It has been a long
time since you were here"
"Tea, a long time;" and then Kate
bustled into the arbor and bore him off
to the garden.
The next few days Barbara saw very
little of him. Kate had him in charge
most of the time, making poor-calls,
wandering about the field and garden,
chatting of the delights of travel and
missionary work. But on the fifth day
Kate waa obliged to go to her dress
maker, to try on an elaborate costume
he was having made for the mission
ary meeting. While she was gone the
Rev. Percy Thompson found his way
across the lawn to the arbor where Bar
bara sat knitting. She greeted him
quietly, and made room far him.
"I have not seen as much of yon aa I
hoped he began, gravely, aa he sat
down.
"There's been so much going on," she
laid.
"Yes, I have been trying to get a
chance to speak with you alone, . but
this Is my first opportunity. Do you
remember onr last conversation before
Ileftr
She did not answer, bat her needles
began to click more rapidly.
"It was In this very arbor, yon re
member, twenty-five years ago. I asked
you to go away with me, 'and you said
that your father was growing old and
needed you, and that It would not be
right to leave him. Barbara, will you
go back with me now? Your father Is
dead, and your brother Is provided for.
No one needs you here."
The knitting work fell to the ground
nnbeeded, and a warm, rich color stole
Into her face. -
"But I am getting to be an old wom
an now, and you are In the prime of
life."
"Ah, Indeed r quizzically; "I am 45,
and you are' 43; Just the same difference
between us as there was twenty-five
years ago. Will you go back with me?"
But still her conscience made her de
mur. "Would not a younger woman make
you happier?"
"I want you, Barbara." said the grave
voice, growing earnest and tender. "I
wanted you twenty-five years ago. I
want you now. I shall always. Will
you go back with me?"
"Yes."
At the supper table that evening the
Rev. Percy Thompson looked across
at his host.
"I believe I have not yet told yon,
Richard, that Barbara Is going back
with me," he said, composedly.
"No? Yon don't mean It?" and Rich
ard Martin looked from one to the oth
er In Incredulous amazement. Then he
rose hastily and shook each of them
by the hand. "I don't suppose It will
be of any use to object," he said. Jocose
ly. "Barbara is of age, and knows her
own mind. But, really, Percy, I con
gratulate you. She Is a fine woman.
She Is a fine woman. If I do say it."
And from her side of the table Kate
looked across at Barbara and made a
grimace, and then went on calmly with
her meal. The Princess.
AFRICAN LOVE CHARM.
A new peril seems to threaten white
men in South Africa. They are In dan
ger of being cut into love charms and
used to increase the marriage rate
among the natives. The flesh of a
European Is considered by the black
inhabitants of Natal as a charm pow
erful enough to compel the love of any
unwilling maiden. When a young
black man loves a maiden and his love .
Is not reciprocated he goes to a wt-b
doctor and asks for a 1r hiteyrf
philters of a ml" encv having
rbeei. tried, a- " -n stiU re
maining oi . sing to love
her black suiw... h doctor, as
a last resort, prescri.. flesh of a
white man. v
Murders committed for the puoots-"
slon of the coveted white flesh, while
not common, occur from time to time.
News has ben received from Natal of
the hanging at Harding of a witch
doctor and his pupil for the murder of
a farmer named Kay. The farmer was
dragged from his bed at night, and
after being stabbed several times with
an assegai his throat was cut and his
body left on the veldt. Part of the dead
man's neck was cut away, and subse
quently found In the witch doctor's
bag, with other, "medicines." The
"head ' devil" in the murder was a
witch doctor named Umtantl. With
him was associated his pupil, Slbal
wenl. Slbalwenl had not yet taken his de
gree as a witch doctor, but was study
ing under Umtantl, who considered
him a promising puplL The two were
helped In the murder by two men, who
seem to have been simply employes of
Umtantl's college of medicine. These
two men received life sentences. When
Umtantl and his pupil were hanged
eighty native chiefs and headmen were
assembled In order that they might see
the execution and spread the news of
It abroad among the natives. The na
tives have had an Idea that when one
of them has been arrested- for a similar
crime he has not been killed, but sim
ply sent to some far-off place, where he
eventually died. The recent execution
was Intended as an object lesson. Re
cently a little child, which was stolen
from Hs parents in the Barberton dis
trict of Natal, Is supposed to have been
taken by the natives for the same pur
pose as that for which they murdered
Kay. Umtantl, the doctor, who was
something of a South African Charles
Peace, confessed to other murders
which had not been brought to light,
including the Chief Umshweshwe's
sister. Ills face Is In keeping with his
diameter crafty and cruel to a degree,
life pupil, Slbalwenl, also had a repuls
ive face, while the other two men,
Oomfl and Umbonwa, who received
life sentences, have a pleasanter ap
pearance. A police trooper, who discovered
Kay's body lying In the moonlight, was
so unnerved by the ghastly sight it
presented, with gaping wounds and
clad only tn a shirt, that he was unable
to sleep or eat for some time after, and
at lgbt awakened his comrades with

Barat of Spas it.
The time was May 30, 1879, between
0 and 7 o'clock p. m. The place was
Jackson County, Missouri, on the Mis
souri Central, between Lee's Summit
and Greenwood.
I was fireman and "Quiet Jack" was
engineer, says a writer in the Kansas
City Star. We called him "Quiet Jack"
because he never spoke unless It was
necessary In the line of duty. He was
sober, careful and brave, and was reck
oned as one of the safest men on the
road. .
On this particular day he was run
ning a special passenger train with a
good engine and three passenger cars,
aU fan. We bad stopped at Lee'i Sum
mit for supper, and moved out about
five minutes before 6 o'clock. Some
rain and hail were falling at the time,
but it soon ceased. We were on a
down grade and were pulling along at
a rapid rate, under a light pressure of
steam. We had passed Dr. Dnnnlng
ton'a house and the Elm Tree crossing.
1 saw Jack pnU the sand lever. Then
he opened the steam pipe, turning the
steam Into the somes tack, thus
creating a fierce draught through the
fire box. The Are began to glow like
the sun at noonday, and the coal melt
ed away Bke snow shoveled Into a
river. Jack then pulled the throttle
wide open, and the engine sprang for
ward like a hound let loose In sight of
a deer.
"Conscience, man!" said I, "are we
not going fast enough now?" Jack's
only answer was a Jerk of the head and
a glance backward and another tug at
the throttle.
I looked back, and there, not ovev
twenty rods behind us, I saw what
made my heart bound almost out of
my body, and drew an exclamation of
fear f mm my very soul.
A roaring, whirling tornado was fol
lowing us, tearing up the tracks anil
whirling rails, ties and earth high In
the air. And If It overtook us It would
set us off the track In an Instant, or,
railing in that would tear up the track
In front of us and leave us a heap of
turning, broken wreckage. The race
was fairly on. The- stake was 100
lives.
For the first seven seconds the roar
tag, writhing monster gained on us. I
rancled I could hear the hoarse, cruel
laugh of the demon of the storm, and
tee his huge arms and red hands as he
tore up the rails and ties and hurled
them toward us.
How fast one thinks at such times!
Each second seemed an hour to me
then. The race lasted fifteen seconds,'
but to Jack and me it seemed the half
f a day.
I seized the shovel, tore open the
Ire-box door, and began piling in the
xal, scattering it with a turn of the
movel over the surface of the fire, Jti3t
fast enough to make the best fire and
lot smother It.
At each push or pull of the mighty
inns that urged the drive wheels
irouml we felt a new Impulse given.
It seemed as If the engine was being
irged on by some almighty power to
till a greater rate of speed.
The first half of that quarter mile
ace was past. We could feel the
wreath of the monster as, not a rod be
ilnd the last car. It came roaring and
rearing on. Five seconds more and it
was two rods behind, and, oh, Joy, it
iwerved and left the track.

MOPE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD
Sollinm Bella for $3,2SO an Ounce
Other lush-Priced Metals.
"The majority of people, when asked
to name the most precious metals,
usually mention gold as first, platinum
as second, and silver as third," said the
proprietor of a large assay and refin
ing establishment In New York to the
writer recently. "If asked to name
others, some might add nickel and a
few aluminum to the list. Now, let us
see how near the truth they would be.
Gold is worth about S250 per pound
troy, platlutim $130. and silver about
$12. Nickel Is worth about 60 cents,
and pure aluminum from 00 cents tc
$2 to the pound troy.
"We will now compare these prlcei.
with those of the rarer and less well
known metals. To take them In al
phabetical order. Barium, th metal
which Dacy Isolated from Its ore,
baryta. In 1S0S. sells for $950 a pound
when it ts sold at all. Calcium Is
worth $1,800 a pound. Cirlum Is a
shmle higher; its cost Is $100 an ounce,
or $1,020 per pound. These begin to
look like fabulous prices, but they do
not reach the highest point, chromium
being $2,000. Cobalt falls to about half
th price of silver, while dldymlum, the
metal Isolated by Masander, is the
same price as calcium. Then comes
gallium, which is worth $3,250 an
ounce. With this metal the highest
price Is reached, and it may well be
called the rarest and roost precious of
metals.
"Gluclum Is worth $250 per ounce.
Indium $150, iridium $058 a pound, Jan
thnnlum $175, and lithium $160 per
ounce. Nldlum costs $128 per ounce,
osmium, palladium, platinum, potas
sium and rhodium being respectively
$040. $400, $130, $32 and $512 per
pound. Strontium costs $128 an ounce,
tantaum $144, tllurlum $0, thorium
$273 vandadium $320, yitrlum $144 and
zlnconlum $250 an ounce.
"Thus we see that the commonly re
ceived opinion as to what are the most
precious metals Is quite erroneous.
Barium Is more than four times aa val
uable as gold, and gallium more than
162 times as costly, while many of the
other metals mentioned are twice and
thrice as valuable. Aluminum, which
cost $8 and $9 a pound In 1800, Is now
produced as cheaply as are Iron, xlnc
lead and copper." Washington Star.

From the Brockton Times, Oct. 10, "99-1
Brockton's prosperity is so closely
allied to the prosperity of the shoe in
dustry that It will, no doubt, prove a
matter of Interest to a large number of
people to learn the actual average earn
ing capacity of each individual em
ployed In the making of the world
famed Brockton shoe. For illustration:
At the factory of the W. Lv
Douglass Shoe company the pay
roll for the week ending September 30,
excluding superintendent. foreman,
salesmen and all clerical help,
shows the average earnings of the em
ployes, large and small, to be $15.5 per
week. This was not an extraordinary
week. It was the customary pay rolL
The amount earned per week, how
ever, does not always tell the story of
prosperity. The number of weeks em
ployed each year Is the determining
factor In the wage earners' prosperity.
The Douglass factory has been closed
but one week this year, and that
for the usual summer stock taking, and
it will be closed but three days the lat
ter part of December. This would make
but nine days out of the year that the
factory is closed, which la surely as
steady work as the most Industrious
shoemaker could desire.
Owtng to increased business, another
addition Is to be made to the Douglass
factory. It will be 100 feet long, 40
feet wide, and five stories high. It
will be ready for occupancy early In De
cember. This addition increases the
capacity 25 per cent. The W. L. Doug
lass Shoe Company has the largest fac
tory in the world, producing an adver
tised line, t3.60 and $3.00 shoes.
Mr. Douglass says that the prospect
for successful business for Brockton
manufacturers was never so good as
now, and that collections are better
than for years.
Drive thy business .let not that drive
thee. Sloth makes all things difficult,
industry all easy.
Difficulties of thought, acceptance of
what is without full comprehension,

Tribute to a Window-Garden.
"Faculty," asNew Englanders call
it, Is a quality that generally exacts
admiration. The Washington Post
tells of an old colored man who recog
nised It even In the beauty of a win
dow garden.
The window was a mass of sweet
peas In bloom. The mistress of the
house was looking carefully at the
boxes and snipping off a few dead
leaves. The old man evidently per
ceived that she "knew how," but per
haps be wondered how so much loveli

A Romantlo Career.
The recent death tn Italy of Otoconia
Naretti ended a most romantic career.
The son of poor Italian parents, Naretti
learned the trade of a carpenter, and
went to Africa during his country's
early occupation of that continent.
There bta - trade stood him in good
stead. He attracted the attention of
Emperor John of Abyssinia, for whom
be built a throne, called the throne of
Solomon. It was a modest wooden af
fair, but It excited the admiration and
wander of the dusky King. Later for
Emperor Menelek he built a royal pal
ace, and was then made a sort of min
ister of public works. He married an
English woman, got rich, and lived in a
palace of his own.

Answered ilia Own letter.
A certain young railroad .man who
aas charge of a department in the au
diting branch of his company's busi
ness had occasion recently to dictate a
letter to the head of a corresponding
department of another road. There
was a point In dispute between the two
railroads involving money and this
yonng official had taken a stubborn
ground that the other official was to
tally at fault and advanced what
seemed to him unanswerable argu
ments to prove It A short time after
he had forwarded the letter he re
ceived a proposition from headquar
ters of the other railroads which he ac
cepted, and within a few days he be
came the head of the department with
which he bad been In dispute. The
Qrst letter he found on file ready to be
answered was hla own on the point In
question. There was only one thing to
do. lie Immediately dictated an an
swer to his own letter, refuting and re
pudiating Its argument, and wound up
by a heated Insinuation that the writer
of It was an unmitigated donkey. Of
course, the letter was addressed to him
self and signed by himself, but In his
enthusiasm for the Interests of his new
employer he did not mind a little thing
like that. Chicago News.

The seeds of the laughing plant of

fruits are produced In clusters and are
of a yellow color. The seed-pods are
soft and woolly In texture, and contain
two or three black seeds of the size of
a Brazilian bean. Their flavor Is a lit
tle like opium, and their taste is sweet;
the odor from them produces a sicken
ing sensation and is slightly offensive.
The seeds, when pulverised and taken
In small quantities, have a peculiar
effect upon man. He begins to laugh

Strategy of a Spendthrift.
A good story la told of a young man
who, besides being of the spendthrift
order, hs a mimic and can Imitate bis
father's voice to a sleety. Not long ago
the young man wanted, without delay,
some money to pay a bill, and he knew
that his father would treat his request
with cold contempt. Waiting till he
knew that his father would be away he
went to the telephone and rang up the
office, calling for the cashier. The cash
ier was forthcoming, and when he was
at the other end the young man imitat
ed his sire's voice:
"I say. Blank, If that scapegoat son
of mtne comes around and asks for
9100, don't give It to him. Only give
him $50."
The cashier promised that be wouio
fulfill the commands. Not long after
the son called at the office and demand
ed $100. He was refused by the con
scientious cashier, and, apparently in
anger, the young man contented him
self with the $50. When the. old man
reached the office there was a scene.
