Bat at length the foe die eorered kla retreat, and one sunny af ternoon In May be waa rooted from his aiding place by the tidings that a band sf horsemen waa approaching to cap tore him. His only chance of eacape waa to reach the month of a little creek which emptied itself Into the Connecticut Elver Just above the entrance of the latter Into Long Island Sound. There be bad a boat stationed, with two faith ful attendants, hidden beneath the high banks of the creek. The distance from the farmhouse to the boat waa two miles of the usually traveled road. Bat a little path across taa farmer's orchard would bring him to tka road only a mile from the boat aad save a quarter's length of hla fearful ran for life. J oat where the narrow path from the arckard opened Into the road Hetty Marvin sat bleaching her household The long web of forty miles or which waa diligently spun and wwvea daring the long winter months, waa whitened In May and thus made ready for uae. The bualneaa of bleaching waa well aeanomlaed, being usually done by the younger daughters of the family, who were not old enough to spin or strong enough for the heavier work of the kitchen or the dairy. Tbe roll of linen waa taken by the farmer or hla stout "help" to a grassy plot beside a spring or meadow brook. There It waa thoroughly wetted and spread upon the green turf to take the boat beat of the sun by day and the dew by night. The little maiden who tended to It would alt near It. Thus eat Hetty Marvin, the young daughter of Governor Griswold's eooata, when her hunted friend sprang past her Into the road to eacape hla pur suers. Hetty was a timid child of about 12 years, yet thoughtful and wise beyond any of her elders. She vraa frightened by the headlong baste with which the Governor rushed across the meadow. Bat she quickly comprehend ed the scene and instantly quieted her faithful Towser. who, though a friend ef the family guest, thought It becom ing to bark loudly at his hurried foot steps. Her wise forethought arrested the Governor's notice and suggested a scheme te elude his pursuers. "Hetty," he said, "I am flying for my life, and unless I can reach my boat be fore I am overtaken I am a lost man. Tan see the road forks here. But you oat tell those who are chasing me that I have gone up the road to catch the anall wagon, which will soon be along, yea know. Then they will turn off the ether way." "Oh, cousin," said the little girl In an agony of distress, "I cannot tell a lie Indeed I cannot. Why did you tell which way you were going?" "Hetty, cttlld, sorely you would not betray me to my death? Hark! they are eomlng! I hear the click of their koreee' feet. Oh, Hetty, tell them I hare gone up the road Instead of down, aad heaven will bless yon." "Heaven never blesses those who apeak falsely. But I will not tall them which way you go, even If they kill me. Bo run aa quickly aa possible." "If s of no uae. Unless I can deceive them I am a dead man." "Cousin, cousin, hide under my web ef cloth. They'd never think of looking there for you. Come, get down aa quickly aa you can, and I'll cover yon and stand sprinkling my linen." Angry that their expected prey had escaped from the bouse where they hoped to secure him. the six mounted Tories, headed by a British officer, dashed along the road In awift pursuit. At eight of the girl In the meadow the leader of the party paused. "Child," he said sternly, "have you seen a man running hereabouts?" "Tea, sir," replied Hetty, trembling and flushing. "Which way did he go?" "I oromlsed not to telL sir." "But yon must or take the conse toences." "I said I wouldn't tell If you killed me." sobbed tbe frightened girl. "I'U have it oat of kerf' exclaimed the furious officer with an oath. "Let me speak to her," said his Tory guide. "I know the child, I believe. Isn't your name Hetty Marvin?" he asked pleasantly. "Yes, sir." "And this msn that ran by yon a few minutes ago Is your mother's cousin. Isn't her' "Yes. sir. be Is.". "Wellwe are friends of bis. What did he say to you when he came along?" "He told me that be waa fleeing for kla life." "Just so, Hetty; that waa very true. I hope be won't bare to fly far. Where was he going to bide? Too sea I could kelp him If I knew bis plana." Now.

"I could not teU a lie. air," was the tearful answer. "Hetty." again began tha smooth tongued1 Tory, "yon are a nice child. Everybody knows yon are a gtrl of truth. What did your cousin say when you told him you could not teU a false hood?" "He said he shouldn't think I'd betray him to his death?" "And you promised him that yoa wouldn't tell which way ha want If yon were killed for It?" "Tea, air." "That was brave; and I suppose he thanked you for It and ran down tbe road aa quickly as possible T" "I promised not to tell where he went, air." "Oh, yea, I forgot Well. teU us hli last words, and we won't trouble you any more." "His last words were, 'It's my only chance, child, and I'll get down aa you say.' " And, overcome with fright and the sense of her kinsman's danger should they rightly Interpret tbe language which ahe had reported, she sobbed aloud and hid her face from eight. Her tormentors did not stay longer to soothe or question her. They all Imme diately pushed rapidly on down to the river. Now, the Governor had arranged a signal with his boatman that a white cloth by day or a light by night dis played from the attic window of bit hiding place, which was Just visible at the mouth of the river, should Inform them If be were In trouble and put them on the alert to help him. As soon, therefore, as be started from his cousin's. It floated from the window to warn them. And when they saw the pursuing party dash madly down the road to the river and recognized tbe British uniform of the leaders they palled swiftly oat to see. The horse men reached the shore vjnly In season to see the boat with two men In It near ly oat of sight, and, supposing their destined prey had escaped, relinquished the pursuit. Meanwhile the victim lay safe and quiet where the shrewdness of the little cousin had hidden him until the time came for ber return for supper. Then be bade bcr go as usual to her home, telling ber. to ask her mother to place the signal lamp as soon as It grew dark In the window for the boatmen and send him some supper, with his valise, which. In the hurry of his departure, he had left behind. The signal bad recalled the boat, which after twilight had ventured in sight of the shore and farmhouse, and the Governor quietly made his way to the river In safety. When he rejoined his father In a secure home he named his Infant daughter, which hal been born In bis absence, Hetty Marvin, that be might be daily reminded of the little cousin whose truth and shrewdness saved hla life.

PHILADEJJ'HIA'S BEST ENTER TAINMENT. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. Never was the value of cleanliness more strikingly exemplified than in the success which has rewarded the ef forts of Benjamin F.

Sixteen years ago the variety theatre aas shunned hy women: to-day wo nen and children constitute 60 per :ent. of the patronage of his Phila lelphla house. No more enjoyable en .ertalnments are provided anywhere, ind the audiences that assemble In his playhouses Include the foremost peo ple of the city, as well aa the most dis .riminating theatre-goers.

That there is no whipping boy In 3ermany was evidenced tbe other day when tbe empress sent ber eldest son, tbe future emperor, from the table oh iccount of bis rudeness. The prince, It appears, was unmannerly to a young r brother, and the empress, turning to the French tutor; who on that occasion bad charge of tbe princes, said: "Monsieur, I beg that you will ask me to excuse his royal highness, th? prince." The tutor begged that the prince be excused, and that young gentleman was forced to leave tbe table without fin ishing bis meal. It Is well known that the royal boys of Germany have had to grin and bear many a sound flogging administered by tbe Imperial band, along with a vast deal of discipline from governors, tutors, etc. A different state of affairs this from tbe time when a boy was kept to be punished Instead of a prince. In Eng land such a youth was called the whip ping boy,- and a famous English artist W. A. Stacey, painted a portrait of Prince Edward, afterward Edward V7., trying to defend his whipping boy from a flogging which he himself deserved. In those days a prince who was t be a king was looked upon and treated as a person of great Importance. Hit person was held to be sacred, and so It would never have done -to pnnlsh him. If an English prince missed h'l lessons, was rude to his teachers, or committed any of the other naughty tricks common to saucy children his whipping boy was flogged. Cleveland Leader. Her Answer.

Where the Iaaane Find Welcome, Oood Treatment and Cure. Tbe little city of GheeL In Belgium, Is a resort for demented people. Ac cording to a legend that has bad, and even at the present day still has, much weight with the peasantry of Belgium, the city started as follows: Many centuries ago, on the site where Gheel now stands, an Insane father murdered his lovely young daughter. A shrine was erected to ber memory and was called "Saint Dymphna." Tbe belief arose that Saint Dymphna particularly favored the Insane, and did miraculous things for them; in conse quence, hundreds of insane people were yearly brought to her shrine that she might Intercede with God for their res toration. Oftentimes many of tbe unfortunates lingered around the shrine for months at a time, finally it became a permanent abiding place for many, and gradually a city came Into existence. It now has a population of about ten thousand, and at least every fourth resident Is Insane. The insane that come to them are not lodged In asylums; those not easily managed are taken care of In suburban cottages, and tbe mildly Insane board with the private families of the city. Very few of them are under restrictions of any nature, and they are met with everywhere In the city, walking about with entire freedom. The coming of an Insane boarder Into a Gheel family Is made a gala-day af fair. Every member of the fafily dresses for the occasion, the bouse is beautifully decorated, and a card, bear ing the word "welcome" In large, bright letters. Is placed In a conspicuous place. The head of the family Introduces the newcomer aa "friend" or "relative,1 and after a warm greeting there Is a banquet and a general good time. Next day the boarder goes to work with other members of tbe family, for to keep tbe Insane employed la a part of the treatment However, they are never compelled to work. Unmanage able patients are coaxed into doing what is thought best for them. Under no circumstances Is an Insane person irritated or dealt with harshly in the city of Gheel. Nor are tuey ever spoken of as being Insane or lunatics; they are called either "Innocents" or "friends." They are given an abundance of plain, substantial food, plenty of out door exercise, and are In every way treated In the most humane way. Aa a result the statistics show that at least 60 per cent of the patients go away eared, and the Incurables are almost in variably greatly benefited.

HOW TOM THUMB GOT HIS TITLE The Name Waa Given by Barilla and the "General" by Queen Victoria. The Countess Magrl, formerly Mrs. rom Thumb, in a paper in the Woman's Borne Companion, gives the following iccount of how the famous dwarf came ry his name: "In speaking of Mr. Stratton I have ased the name General Tom Thumb, 'or by that name the public best knew lira. -Perhaps a statement of bow he received bis title will be of interest a itory which even Mr. Barnum has neg ected to make known, but which Mr. Stratton himself told me. When Mr. Barnum first made his acquaintance tnd persuaded his parents to allow their child to travel It was thought a ;ood scheme to Introduce him to the public aa Tom Thumb.' So as Tom rhumb be was heralded by all the skill which made Barnum so famous, and by that name he was Introduced to Queen Victoria and many of the royal and a tied frequenters of St James. "On bis first visit he bad amused the )ueen by asking particularly after the Prince of Wales, and when he was the tecond time summoned to appear at the palace be was presented both to the Prince of Wales and to the Princess Royal, who afterward became Empress f Germany. -As he stood beside the shlldren his smallness was more no ticeable. Tbe Duke of Wellington was present and noticed this fact evidently with much interest as he said to some ne standing near, 'Their Royal Hlgh aesses are head and shoulders taller than Tom Thumb.' 'This remark,' the Greneral told me, 'was overheard by tbe )ueen, and turning to the Duke ahe laid. "General Tom Thumb." Bowing low to her majesty the Duke gave me the military salute, repeating the title, "General .Tom Thumb." Everybody trowed, and although I did not fully xmprehend then that her majesty's ilmple say-so could make It unchange able, I found that ever after thatTwas ul dressed as General.' "Mr. Stratton also said that be knew snough of the war history of the Duke f Wellington to be greatly Interested In blm, and to feel that an Introduction to this 'great fighter,' as he called, was worth more than a chat with this royal boy and girl."
