And, catching up a copuple of pails,
he hurried ilciwn to the Clear . Water.
Soon returning, he set the brimming

throbbing still with a fierce, deep glow,
and then stooping, stroked with signi fi

'Come, Dingley, it's your turn to tell

'personal appearance, yet .who, never

.Dingley indolently, setretched his

'We had gained the top of a long rise.
and for a moment we all stopped and
looked back. We saw that it was sun
set, and our leader pointed at some
thing that caught his attention.
'The son, sinking like a great ball of
fire behind au immense pine,_ shot' a
long ray of crimson light into the Val

bloody finger pointed at the grave we
had so lately made, and, turning our
face, we agair plunged into the woods,

her face in her bound hands, and we
could see that 'the poor girl was suffer

'We had all aimed, and were waiting
for the signal, when we saw old Club

didn't wait for any signal • another sec

'We lined our men bar perfection, for

around the fire, and - Sadie set'hetween
us and him; but he didn't git off, I can
tell *twenty angry men had got hint

three of ud.set down on his hack' and

tried to co I fort Sadie in their rough

'When-Itcome morning, the question
arose as ter how we should dispose of
the ferocious old cannibal that we'd
captured, and whose eyes showed what
he would have deaf) with 'us if he could
have the Power, for they looked like .
the eyes of a powerless moccasin snake.
'After we'd talked for 'quite a spell,

our 'leader cut some twigs, 'shuffled
them, and passed 'em around, and I got
the-longest one. At the same time I
got an idea that might have been

Then every branch' , was lopped off

The Way of Jt
A farmer was once told the t his tur
nip field had been robbed, and that the
robbery had been committed by a poor,
inoffensive man, of the Mune of Palmer,
who, Many people' of the/village said,
had taken away a wagon*ad of turnips.
Farmer Brown, much exasperated _at
the loss of his turnips, determined to
prosecute poor Palmer z with all the se
verity of the law. With' 'this intention
he went to Molly Sanders, the washer.
woman, who bad been busy in spread
ing the report, to know the whole truth;
but Molly denied ever haying said any
thing about a wagon icunl of turnips: It
was but a cart.load that had been taken
and Dame Hodson; the huckster, bad
told her so, ever and over again. The
farmer hearing this, went to Dame
Hodson, who Said that Molly Saunders
was always. making things worse than
they really were ;. that Palmer had ta
ken only a wheelbarrow full of turnips,
and that she had her account from Jen
kins, the tailor. Away went the farmer
to Jenkins, the tailor. who stoutly de
nied the account - altogether. He had
only told Dame Hodson that Palmer had
pulled up several turnips, but how
.manyhe could not tell, for that he did
not see himself, but, was
_told by Toil
Slack.. the plowman. Farmer Brown
next questioned Tom Slack, who in his
turn declared he had never said a word
about seeing

turnips; .he only said ballad heard say
that Barnes, the bather. was the person
who bad told him about it. The farmer
