There was no need for Arthur to ask any questions, when he was roused in the middle of the second night after Uncle Plan's departure. He realized at once what was required of him, and the heaviness of sleep instantly vanished, leaving him keenly wide-awake. Step ping softly from his bed, he quickly dressed, while the old negro gathered together every tiling belonging to his "lil marse," and placed the things in a corn sack that he had brought for that purpose. "Is that yo' book, honey?"' ho whis pered, noticing the volume of fairy tales lying on tho bed. "Yes. that is ray own precious book, that tho beautiful lady pave me; but don't put it in tho bag, Uncle Phin; I want to carry it myself." Then the thoughtful little fellow, sinco ho could not bid Cynthia good-bye, and feared sho might feel hurt If he went away without a word, begged his companion to wait just a minute, while he wrote her a note. Ho wrote It by the bright moonlight, on a bit ot brown paper, with the stump of a lead pencil, so that it was not a very elegant production, but it answered its purpose, and was tenderly cherished for many a day by the little girl who received it tho next morning. In it, in a big, scrawling, boy ish band, was written: "Dear Cynthia: I have been so much trotfble here, specially to Aunt Nancy and Dick, that I am goinft away with Uncle Fin, to find another home. I love you dearly, and sometimes I hope 1 shall Come back and see you. Good-bye, from "Your loving oousin, Arthur." Although the old negro was In a hur ry to be off, he waited patiently while Arthur slowly wrote this note To him writing was oru> of the most mysteritn* and difficult of arts; and, gazing admir ingly at tho young penman, ha stir mured to himself: "What a fine lilly gen'l'man him be, to bo shuah. Iltm only ten year ole; but sottin' dar an er wrltin' liko ho was a hundred." When tho note was finished it was pinned to tho pillow of the cot bed; and, with a lingering look at tho placo that had sheltered him for a year, tho child stepped out and softly closed tho door. Then, clasping his precious book tightly under his arm, and trustingly following tho old negro, Arthur started on the wonderful journey that was to change tho whole course of his lifo, though he was still ignorantof thoir destination. When they were safoly behind tho barn, out of sight and hearing of the house, Uncle Thin stopped and said: "Dero's only ono t'ing trubblin* dis yeah 010 woolly head. Will you tell, honey, fer shuah, what way do ribbui ober yander is a runnin'?" "Which, tho Allegheny? Why south, of course," answerod Arthur, wondering at the question. "Dat's what I 'lowed it done!" ox claimed tho old man. "I knowed it didn' run yeast, kase dat ar' way do sun rise, an' X knowed it didn' run wes\ kaso dat ar' way him a settin'; but I wasn' rightly shuah liira didn' run to do norf. I was figgorin' all do time dough on hiin runnin' to do soul, an' now wo'll git back to ole Virginny easy an' 6artin." "To Virginia!'' cried Arthur, in dis may. "Aro wo going to try and go way to Virginia, Uncle Phin?" "Ob coso we Is, honey. Wo's or gwino to Virginny, an' Dalecourt, an' yo gran'paw, an' de 111 010 cabin by do magnole troo. Wo is gwino to go 'omo shuah 'nough, honoy." "But how aro wo over going to travel so far?" "You'll seo, honey. You'll seo d'reck ly," chuckled the other. "I'se got a great s'prise In sto' fer you. Hyar's do kerrldgo a waitln' on us now, an' Mista Bailas is gwino dribo us to do kyars." They were now on tho road, at some distance from tho house, and as Uncle Phin spoke, Arthur saw drawn up to ono sido in the shadow of a clump of trees Braco Bar low's team and leaning against tho light wagon tho young man himself. "Oh, Brace!" ho cried, springing for ward the moment ho saw who it was. "I'm so glad! I didn't want to go away without seeing you again. Are you really going with us?" "I wish I could go with you all the way, my boy, and seo you safe to your jour ney's end, but you know I can't leave my old mother. So lam only going to glvo you a lift for a little way and seo that you get a good start. Jump in quick now, for we've got a long drivo ahead of us and I must be back by day light." As tho spirited horses dashed away over tho moonlit road with Arthur TIIK SPIRITED HOUSES X>AS!!KD AWAY OVER THE MOONLIT «OA 11. nestled between Brace and Uncle Phin on tho single seat of tho wagon, tho boy learned bow it hap pened that his friend had boon induced to aid them in their flight. Undo Phin had gone directly to him two nights be fore, and roused his indignation by de scribing the unhappy lifo his young charge was loading, and how much he suffered at the bands of Mrs. Dustin and her children. Tin n ho told Hraoo of Dalecourt, and gave him to understand that Colonel Dalo was ready to receive his grandson with open arms, whenever bo should go to him. Tho kind-hearted young follow, enter taining a sincere regard for tho llttlo chap who had recently rendered him so great a service, readily agreed to a plan that promised so much of good to the boy, anil willingly consented to assist him and Undo Phin to make a start on their journey. 110 devoted two whole days to tho task of preparing for It, and did so much more tlian Undo Phin had dared ask or hope for, as to win the old man's everlasting gratitude anil render the first stage of thoir journey compara tively easy. For some time Arthur enjoyed the exciting night ride over tho steep mountain roads, across deep valleys, and through forests, all haOiaul tu t.h« i/luriuus. unclouded moon BUTLER, PA., JULY 39, light. Ito did not asjk wtiither bo was being taken. Nestled warmly botween his two best friends, ho felt perfectly safe and happy. lie knew that they would do what was best for him, and tho very mystery and uncertainty attending this part of tho journey had lent it a fascination. At length his weary head nodded, tho heavy eyelids closed, and, sound asleep, ha was unconscious of his surroundings until tho horses stopped and ho attepke to find himself being lifted from tiie wagon. There was a gleatn of moonlit water in his oyes, and as he dimly realized that he was on the bank of a river, strong arras boro him into the cabin of a queer-looking crafk that lay moored to tho forest trees, lloro tho boy was gently laid down and was vaguely con scious that Braco Harlow vas bidding him good-bye, when tho sleepy eyelids apain closed and the child passed on into dreamland. Tho young man stood looking at the sleeping boy for a full minute. As he did so he said, softly: "Dear little chap! I hate to have you ro away and to think 1 may never see you again. Hut I sup po£o It's the best thing to be done or I wouldn't have lifted a hand to help it along. I only hope it will come out all right, and that you'll have a happier life in the place you're going to than you ever could have bad here. God bless you." It was a benediction as well as tho farewell of one bravo soul to another. As ho uttered it the young man slipped a bank bill between two pages of tho book the boy had clasped so closely, but which hail now fallen from his hands. "It's little enough," ho said to him self, as he turned away, "but it's all I've got, and may be it will help him out of a fix some time." Then he went out to assist Undo Phin, who was casting off tho fastenings of the boat and prepar ing to push it from the shore. In another minute tho olumsy little craft had swung clear of tho bank and was moving slowly down stream, in tho shadow of the great trees that grew to the water's edge. Hrace Barlow watched it until it beeamo a part of the shadows, and he could no longer dis tinguish the white-headed flguro bend ing over the long sweep, that was made bo do duty as a steering oar, or rudder. Then ho again mounted the seat of his light wagon, and started on his long homeward drive, feeling more lonely than he had over felt in all his lifo. -1 The craft on which the old man and the sleeping boy were now slowly :driftingdown tho broad, moonlit stream, ;was a tiny house-boat, such as are com mon on all American rivers. It had floated down, empty and ownerless, with the high waters of tho preceding spring, and had stranded, and had been left by tbc receding flnnd, nt tho point whero Uncle Phin discovered it somo weeks before. It was a small, flat-bot- (THERE CAME A CRASH AND A •ilOf K THAT FLUNG HIM VIOLENTLY I TO THE FLOOR . tomed scow, on which was built a low 'house, ten foet long and si& wide. This , house contained but a single room; and [beyond It, at either end, the deck of the ;scow projected about four feet. At each fond of the house was a door, and on 'each side a square hole or window that fclosed with a wooden shatter. ' At tho stern was a steering , oar, as has been stated. It hung 'on a swivel and its long handle iprojected up over the end of the roof, on ' which tho steersman stood. From each 'side of tho roof hung a long, heavy 'sweep, hy means of which the craft jmight be slowly propelled, or turned in 'any desired dirocticn. When not in (use, the lower ends of these could be lifted from the water by ropes attached ,to thoir blades, and fastened to the sides of tho house. A rude ladder reached from each of tho little end decks to tho top of thereof. The whole affair was strong and is good condition; but rough and unpainted. ! When It came down with the flood and stranded on the river bank, It contained :nothing in tho Bhape of furniture save a [couple of rude bunks built against the [sides, the same number of rough (benches, and several shelves put up fliere and there In convenient corners, j Uncle Pliin had not thought of inak 'ing use of this stranded craft, when he j first found It among the trees that he ! was marking to bo cut down for tiro [wood. Ho slept in it ono night, and , merely regarded It as a convenient shel 'ter that ho could occupy wlien working In that distant and lonely place. When, (however, ho and Arthur conceived the s idcaof running away, and he made up Ills mind that if they did, it must bo to {travel in the direction of Dalecourt, a vision of tho llttlo old house-boat crossed his mind. j If it could only bo got into tho water, and should prove to bo tight and sound, 'how easy and pleasant it would bo to 'float down the river on it. Whenever they had gone as far as they saw lit by ! water, they could probably sell the boat for enough money to meet their ox .penaes on tho rest r> 1 the journey. It ,soeined a fine scheme, and Undo Phin hastened to lay It before Braco Barlow and ask his advice concerning it. The young man listened to It with jgreat Interest, and th«n they drove V> take a loOk at tho stranded craft. J After a careful examination Bruce said 'that, with a little calking of its seams, the boat could bo mado tight and river worthy, and that Undo I'hln's plan 'seemed to him a first-class one. Ho furthermore offered his own labor, and 'the uso of his team, to help prepare tho craft, for Its voy»#e. and get it onco more 'afloat. i This offer was most gladly accepted, 'and the two succeeding days had been Uusy for both men and horses. 11 ]was found necessary to make several trips back and forth between Braco Har row's house and the "Ark," ns he called the boat. There tbey calked her open seams, and smeared them thickly with 'pitch. They constructed a rudo track, ot straight, young tree trunks, from the' Imat to the water into which, aided by rollers, long levers tknd the horses, they 'ttn&lly succeedod-Jn launching her. 1 1 A ftftr this they hadthe sweeps to inako, i»nd. as they had no stove, Uncle I'hin ibuUy» ru<lo flfo-placc In tho, middle of TTJIS ho did by forcing a square of large : rocks, Ailing it with small stones and '.covering the whole with a thick layer of 'earth. Th«y filled the "bunks with sweet fresh straw and made pillows of two tlour sacks stuffed with the same matori- J. Draco Harlow covered one of these bunks with a ooarse sheet and a blanket drawn from his own slender stock of household goods. Uncle T*hin had his own bedding, that consisted of a thin old artuy blanket and a tattered comfort er. He also had an axe, that was the only piece of valuable property that he possessed. Then Hrace Harlow bought several cooking utensils, a few dishes and a small supply of provisions, to which he added potatoes and a dozen eggs from his own little farm. When all this had been accomplished the two men surveyed their work with great satisfaction, and nothing but his duty to bis mother prevented Hrace Harlow from joining the party and mak ing the voyage down the river with them. From information furnished by I'ncle Phin the young man gained an idea that tho greater part of their journey was to lie performed by water, and that Dale court was somewhere in West Virginia, within a few miles of the point to which tho ark could be navigated. This was also Uncle Phin's idea when he learned that, tho river on which his craft was launched flowed into tho Ohio, which in turn washed one of the borders of West Virginia. This now name meant nothing to him. There had been but one Virginia when ho left it, and even of its extent he had not tho slightest conception. 110 imagined that, once within the borders of the State, it would be a simple matter to discover and reach his old home. All he knew of travel ing and distances was, that when ho followed his younp mistress to New York, the journey occupied less than two days, and that the ono from New York to the oil country had been accom plished in about tho same space of time. So now, while he was well aware that a boat, drifting with the current, would not travel quite as fast as a train of cars, he did not for a moment doubt that two or three weeks, or a month at the very most, would see them safely established between tho stately magnolias of Dale court. Ilad ho known that between the placo whore they must leave their boat and their destination, thoro stretched a weary distance of nearly five hundred miles, much of which was across rugged mountain ranges, it is probable that even his stout heart would have Shrunk from so great an undertaking. But ho had no knowledge of this; and, as happily ignorant of what was before them as was his beloved "lil marse," now sleeping so peace fully on his bed of straw, the old man floated contentedly over the gleaming waters, and recalled bright pictures of the dear old home he hoped so soon to see. The night was far advanced, he was . worn out with tho fatiguing labor of the preceding two days, there was no sound to disturb him, and so, after awhile, his head sunk low over tho steering oar, and ere long ho, too, was fast asleep. Thus, with no wakeful eye to de termine her course, the ark drifted on through tho night; now in deep shadows of great hills or dark forests; then across long stretches of silvery moonlight; herecaughtby an eddy and turned slowly round and round; thero held for u mo ment on the point of some glistening sandbar, from which she would slowly swing off and again move ahead. While the occupants of the boat still slept tho moonlight paled before the rosy dawn of a new day, and at lost a mischievous boam from the round, red sun, just peeping over tho Eastern hills, found its way into the little cabin, and shone full across Arthur's eyes. In a moment the boy was wide-awake and gazing upon his strange surroundings with tho utmost bewilderment. He heard no sound, perceived no motion, and had not the faintest idea that he was on a boat. Ho only wondered whose this strange house was, where It was, and what bad become of Uncle Phin, of whom be could seo no sign. Ho almost expected to hear his Aunt Nancy's harsh voice calling him. Then thoevents of the preceding night came slowly back to him; and, with a thrill of joy, ho remembered that ho was far from her dreaded presenso and had actually started on a journey toward his own dear mother's beautiful home. But he must get up and find oat whore he was, and what bad become of Braco Barlow and Undo Phin. At tho very moment he stepped from his straw filled bunk, thero came a crash, and a 5' A SMALL FLAT-BOTTO.UKO SCOW UN WJIICH WAS lirlLT A SMALL HOI'MK. shock that flung him to the floor. At the same Instant ho heard a frightened pry and a loud splash. Regaining his foot he sprang to ono of tlx- little doors, and looking out saw nobody. Then he ran to tho othor with the same result. 110 was evidently alone on some sort of a boat, which at that moment was drifting beneath a great iron bridge. Continual m.rl ictek'. Half Underatood.

A case of jaundice dae to movable kidney has recently been reported by Dr. White, a physician to Guy's hospi tal, London, which throws somo light upon the fact long ago observed that jaundice aj«l gallstones occur much more frequently in women than in men, and especially lit women who are ad dicted to tight lacing. In I)r. White's case the right kidney was movable, aad he believed the jaundice to be produced by the pressure of the kidney upon the gall duct. In his account of the case Dr. White quotes Landau as saying that jaundice is more common in women with movable right 'kidney than in others. That the right kidney is fre quently movable in women who aro ad dicted to tight lacing Is, we think, fully established by the statistics which we have collected and published upon this subject. Wo found mobility of the right kidney in nearly one-third of the adult women who had been addicted to tight lacing, in two hundred women who were carefully examined upon this point. It is not surprising that so much mischief results frota tho common prac tice of wearing tho clothing tight about tho waist; the only marvel is that still greater mischief does not follow this pernicious practice. Tho kidney is displaced and rendered movablo In oon sequenco of compression of tho liver, ■which would doubtless suffer far mow than it does HS tho result of abuse, were it not for the remarkable recuper ative property possessed by this inter esting organ. A German experimenter has shown that tho experiments of Von Meiste* and Fouflk have shown that tho liver repnWl^os, portions have been removed. In animals three quarters of tho liver has been removed without causing death, aud complete regeneration of the part removed was found to have taken place within thir ty-six days after removal. <3ood Health.
