attacked New Haven, Coniu,
and aet a price on tha head of
Qovernor Grlewold tha latter fled to the
towa of Lyme, where his cousin, Mrs.
Mar rtn, bid him for some' daya In a
farmhouse. 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

"Why didn't yon do aa be told yon,
then, when I asked yon where ha had

"I could not teU a lie. air," was the
tearful answer.
"Hetty." again began tha smooth

signal with his boatman that a white

How Princes Are Punished.
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

A STRANGE CITY.
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."

about nine years so that I could not do my work. For three months I could
not sit up long enough to have my bed made. I had five different doctors, and
all said there was no help for me. My trouble was change of life. I suffered
with ulceration of the womb, pain in sides, kidney and stomach trouble, back
ache headache, and dizziness. I am well and strong, and feel like a new
person. My recovery is a perfect surprise to everybody that knew me. 1 owe
all to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I would not 3o without
