"What is the offense with which Mr. Kyle i. chaff, d?" a. k 1 the Prophet, walking to the fruiit with an expression on ttis face such as it wore the morning when he charged the outlaws. "Ah!

"Oh, if you will insist on placing a gentfc man in an uiijb .usant].osition be fore his friend;, of course I can't object. The charge against Valentine Kyle is that of murder!" said Lawyer Bli->. "Muni r!" gasped tie- pe-pie, with a sliudc'i r. "Yes, for the murder, nearly 19 years ago, of his brother, Frederick Weldon. Therefore I arrest yon, Valentine Wel don. '' The lawyer advanced to lay his hand ou the h> artbroken man's shoulder, when a thundering "Hold!" stopped him. "Who asked mo to hold?" asked tho lawyer, I. > .i.ing anxiously about him. "It is I who ask you to hold!" Captain Brandon had washed the blood from his face; the scar down his cheek was p;iler than it hiul been since the day it was first made, and tho re maining eye burned with a light that struck awe to all who saw it. "Do you not know me?" "No!" "I am Frederick Weldou!" "Frederick Weldon!" came like an audible throb from the hearts of the people. ' 'Frederick, who was dead, but who still lives," said the Prophet. The inti use silence that followed was at length broken by tho sobs of tbo women and unchecked tears flowed fn m the eyes of strong men unused to weep ing. Valentine Weldon rallied by an effort of will and looked into the face of tho rutin who had clasped him in his arms, mid he saw the scar, from brow to chin, saw it its he did that night in tho long ago, when by the lightning's flash he stood over his prostrate brother. He could not realize that Frederick lived, even though his voice, the eyes and the perfect profile assured him. "Has the grave given up its dead?" ho managed to a.-L. "No, Valentine, but the time has come when the clouds should roll away from our lives. That this has not been done before is not my fault, as you shall see." "Oh! If yiu are Frederick Weldon, I should i- delighted," said Lawyer Bliss, putting the bundle of papers un der his arm an-1 dry washing; his lean hands. ' 'Do not interrupt me. I am now speak ing for the information of my kinsmen and friends here .. . i- bled." Captain Brandon, or Frederick Weldon, conduct ed his brother to a seat facing the people and continued: "My position can only be understood by telling you in as brief a way as pos sible my story since the sad night when last I saw my bnflher. " The captain hesitated, while a cough ing tuid a shuttling of feet told of the profound inti 'rest of the people. He went on: "Wlit a 1 returned to couscionsuc.-.' after the bb -v I found myself in a hos pital where Union troops v. ere being cared for, and my nurse told mo the place was Cincinnati.

"I met Henry Kyle as we neared the mountains, and having hoard evil re ports of him I was glad when he and his companion,'Robb, went.

From thep.rch before his door he can see a hundred mountain peaks cutting into thin air, like pinnacles, from which, when the sun is set tin g, cloud banners of crimson and gold sti 111 out against the blue depths of that glorious sky. The dark girdles of pines about the lower ran pes, the emcraU} expanse of mountain mead ows, the glistening crests of granite ridges, the courses of silvery streams, the glaciers spiritually white, the valley yellow with the harvest- and odorous with young vineyards all gladden the Fight ;uid lift the heart higher than the mountains and beyond the sunset clouds. There are herds on the hills attended by Valentine Kyle's old herders. There an- children shouting about the school house or playing by the river.

And on Sabbath days the rocks iunl ravines take up the sound of the lx-11 and tass it back and forth till it dies away in the hills, the music of a p. ace that must evqj remain. The Prophet still lives in the solitude of his eavo and finds his soul rest in the peace of the beautiful valley. But he is no longer a hermit. One© a week he comes to Weldon to preach, and, though at first his teachings startled the people, they have learned to look beneath his | eccentricities and see there the strong, 1 simple truths of his religion of nature | and humanity. At the foot of the loftiest cliff iii the Prophet's valley there are two graves marked by one stone and knitted to gether by a matting of vines and wild ; flowers. The stone bears the simple in | script ion, with the date of death added, j "Here lie Henry Kyle and Knshat, a ; Sioux maiden." The settlers often visit the valley. Frederick and Valentine go there every month, and as they stand by the graves Frederick says: "Your son died for me, my brother. 110 died for me!" THE END. A Four Legged Bird. The crested hoazin of British Gui ana, tlio only survivor of a race of birds which are known as fossils, is described in The Popular Science Nows. The hoazin inhabits the most secluded for ests of South America, and its survival beyond its congeners is doubtless owing to its retiring habits and the fact that it feeds on wild arum leaves, which gives its flesh a most offensive flavor, rendering it unfit for food. The chief peculiarity of the hoazin I consists in the fact that when it is hatched it possesses four well developed legs. The young birds leave the nest and climb about- like monkeys over the adjoining limbs and look more like tree toads than birds. The modification of the fore limbs be gins at once after hatching; the claws of the digits fall off ; the whole olawlike hand begins to flatten and become* 1 before full growth is reached not a ves tigo remains of its original character. Professor F. A. Lucas says of the ; hoazin, "The adult birds not only | have 110 claws upon their wings, but j their thumbs even are so poorly devel -1 oped that one would hardly suspect- that i in the nestlings we have the nearest ap | proach to a quadruped found among ex isting birds." One curious feature noticed with a nestling which had been upset in tho river was its power of rapid swimming and diving when pursued. Owing to this power the little creature managed to evade all efforts to secure it The j prolonged immersion which a nestling j will undergo, instinctively and voltui j tarily, or which an adult bird will on- I dure in an attempt to drown it seems quite remarkable. t French Bookbinders. French craftsmen of today, as far as j binding is concerned, fall naturally in- I to two classes, those who still repeat and adopt old models, and those who are Itent upon seeking soino new thing. Tho first consider that the right tradi tions of ornament have been given once and for all and need only be followed with ever increasing skill and technical perfection. The second feel that new departures are necessary if the art is to respond to modern needs. The conserva tives restrict their ornaments to the strictly traditional. Admitting no fur ther novelty than that which consists in fresh adaptations of the same "tools," the reformers will sooner get out of the lines hitherto recognized ns legitimate than continue to work in the well worn grooves. It is the old opposition between "les classiques" and "les jeunes, " often recurrent in the literary history of France, and permeating, as it would seem, the whole artistic life of the country in away that has no parallel here. Such a cleavage, well defined among jKiets and painters of the mo ment, is thus repeated in miniature in the humbler arts, greatly to their benefit and to that of the public as well.— Scribner's.

They are also em ployed in insurance offices and as de tectives. Their reputation is European iis well as American. Patience, tact, finesse and intuitive inspirations are pe culiarly feminine qualities, while in moral courage and endurance they aro second to none, and the waste or neglect of such valuable products is nothing less than a crime in jwlitical economy. The epigrammatic French expression, "Cherehez la femme," has a double sig nification, for, go where you will, where will you not find her? Progress of the World. What do you eat? What do yon wear? What do you smoke? What did your grandfather eat, wear and smoke?

"No doubt the most beautiful of all (he army bugle calls is taps, the call for lights out,"said the old soldier. "There are other calls that are stirring and some that are very musical, but none so beautiful as this. "I remember a time when we had settled down in camp for awhile, with all the routine of camp life, day after day, from reveille to taps, so that we came to look forward to our regular duties and to listen each day for the talis, fatigue, guard mount, hospital call, drill, dress parade, and so on through the day, to tattoo and taps at night.

If you are musical, you will enjoy nothing better than "a chime of bottle bells," which, while it may sound very difficult, is really veiy easily arranged. Your apparatus will consist of two chairs, two long poles or sticks and 18 bottles. Tho chairs must be placed the length of the stick apart, back to back; upon each stick place nine bottles sus pended by a string tied about the neck, with a loop big enough to slip ever the stick. Place one stick with er \ end resting on the seat of the chair the other resting on the top of th fc ck. For a hammer almost any stiok .1 do to beat with For quick tunes tv> sticks should bo used. If the bottles are all of the same shape and size, they can be tuned to produce all tho notes of the scale by pouring wa -1 ter into them. The more water the low er the note, or differently shaped bottles can be used to fill the places when the correct note cannot bo produced. It is not passible to tell just how much water to use, for it varies with the thickness of the glass. You may have as many bottles as you like and there may be two players, one on each side.—Philadelphia. Press. John Wilkes Booth.

Press. -—- —j A WOMAN'S CONTRIBUTE©*. on Sound Money. Mrs. Mary F. Henderson, of ton, wife of former Senator John B. H%l - has written a pamphlet on "S&utJl Money" which is worthy of wide circula tion for the clearness and cogency with which it discusses tho main issue of the campaign. Mrs. Henderson has disproved the common saying that "a woman can not understand flnanolal questions," as those extracts will show: A gold dollar has never had an equivocal or doubtful meming. It never will tUhre so long as it Is the standard money worth of tin. When for fifteen years Uncle Sam was forcod into buying all of the silver produced In our country for the mere sake of forcing a value upon it, and the value steadily declined on account of its always increasing abundance, have we not tried the experience long enough? The people understand the meaning of a bushel, a pint and a yard They merely measure the quantity or length of anything, without regard to value. The standard gold dollar does only the same thing. All we want is a money measure of permanent and fixed value, made of a metal whose market value is as near as possible the same If coined or melted, and that is all. In the treasury at Washington Is a bar made of Incorrosive metal which shows exactly to a hair tho longth of the yard which is adopted officially by the government of the United States. If at the start It had boen shorter or longer it would have been just as well. All we want is to know exactly what it is and what it will con tinue to be. If that yardstlok had been a long thermometer, tho mercury dancing up and down with the weather, Or Hke the stocks in Wall street, one can easily understand what would be its inconven ience in commerce. We do not want to bo bothered with two yardstioks, more than with two standard dollars, and es pecially with one of them ever ohaoglqg in value. We want but one stafilard dol lar, and wo want that to be made of the metal which, of everything on earth, is the most permunent in value. Gold is al most as permanent and Indestructible as eternity. It is used as a standard of value by all the civilized world Why should we select a poorer metal for the money standard of America? "Now, what tho dollar is worth in corn, hay, cloth, wages, depends Upon many things—bad crops, good crops, supply, de mand, quality, etc., etc. The dollar alone must be permanent and its meaning un derstood by all tho world All the gov ernment has to do with it is to weigh, with the most infinite care, the gold bul lion, and by placing its official stamp upon It declare that the coin honestly con tains so many grains. Here the responsi bility of the government ends. The fur ther use of that dollar, today in bread, to morrow in sugar, the next day in wages, is alono between you and me."—N. Y. World. • m "There can hardly bo a better rnle In any country fur tho legal than the market proportion. The presumption 111 such case Is that each metal fltdl Its true level according to Its Intrinsic utility iu the general system of tateaey' operation. "An long ax gold, either from Its Intrinsic superiority as a metal, from Its rarity, or from the prejudices of mankind, retains so considerable a pre-eiuinence in value over silver as it ha* lilthcrto had, a natural conse quence or this seems to be that Its condition will he more statleaary.
