Caldwell ;i; There was such excitement in Four Corners as had not lieen known in that small settlement for many a day. The quail on the Cornish estate were protected by the game laws from April to September and by Dawson, the gamekeeper, at all times, yet one May morning found Dan O'Connor In the Cornish preserves with a brace of quail at his l»elt, whereupon Dawson, summoning the sheriff from Windsor Bend, had promptly arrested O'Connor and jailed him. Such a thing had never happened be fore iu the history of Four Corners, and public feeling ran high. A crowd had gathered at the one store the place boasted, and their muttered threats finally merged Into open detiauce. "I heerd that Dawson had kinder got his eye on a couple more o' the bOys," hinted old man Pierson. A ruffianly looking fellow leaning against the counter looked up with a heavy scowl. "He'd better look out the bays don't got their eyes on him first," he growled savagely. "A few birds more or less ain't noth in* to make a fuss ovor nohow," put In a tall, lank fellow behind the stove. "He's got to look fer u little shoot- In'," mumbled old man Pierson, The hard facet! fellow against the counter straightened up and moved slowly toward the door. "He might's wVg "HIST, MISS MOIT.Y, HIS? !" PAIS 4 VOI"JS. *vell look for It; It's comln* to him," he said menacingly as he slouched heavily from the room. The rougher element of Four Corners were used to depending upon their rifles to eke out an existence, meager enough at best, and in the lifetime of old Mr. Cornish, the former owner of the greut estate, their' depredations had been practically unchecked, but now a new order of things prevailed. Old Mr. Cor nish was dead, and the villagers re garded the sou who had succeeded him witii suspicion and the gamekeeper ho had appointed with sullen hatred. Tlie villagers were not alone In their disapproval of Dawson. "You are making a mistake In ap pointing him," the doctor's daughter, had declared, her brown ejus resting ou the tall young man beside her. '"I don't see why," Hobert Cornish had returned stubbornly. "Something lias to be done to preserve the game. These fellows are a lawless set, shoot' i;i? in season and out and ruining the preserves. Besides'Vhls voice rung de terminedly—"lt is my property." "Yes," she admitted, "and yet they have so little it doesn't seem quite fair they should have no rights." "But I'm willing they should do a certain amount of hunting," he pro tested, "only they must observe the game laws, and also roulizta that it is my property, not theirs." "Do they know you will allow them a certain amount of game?" . Jtohert Cornish shook his head. "Not yet. Dawson advised cutting them off short until they learn to realize the es tate Is private property. When they understand shooting Is a privilege, not a right, they will give less trouble." Molly shook her head doubtfully. "I know them better than you do," she said. "They are lawless and Ig norant, l>ut there Is more good tu thorn than you believe, and Dawson isn't the man to deal with them. I wish you would talk to them your self," she went on. There was a brief silenee. "I will—lf you wish," he said impul sively. "I will randa, wandered down Into the moonlit garden, ltobert Co.rnish would be back that night, but of course It was no yague hope of meeting him that bright ened her eyes or led her through the gate into the road, made light as day by the full moon overhead. "Hist, Miss Molly, hist!" said a voice close at her ear. She started violently aa u small, un kempt figure crept through the hedge and stopped short in her path. •'Don't go on, iniss," said the boy, with much excitement. "Don't! They are waitin' fer Dawson below, an' maybe they might do ye some harm." "Waiting? For what? To shoot him?" usked the girl breathlessly. "Yes, miss. The wagon has gone to Windsor Bend to meet him, an' when It comes back —well, they're waitin', miss, down In the hollow." "But it isn't Dawson the wagon has gone to meet," said Molly in a horri fied whisper. "It Is Mr. Cornish." "I guess It won't make no difference to them, miss, whether It's Dawson or the master himself. They're bent on blood." The boy darted through the hedge, leaving the girl, white and horrified, ill the middle of the road. For a mo ment she stood as if stunned. Then her inind leaped riotously to the chance of escape. "If I can reach the Windsor road through the cross path," she thought desperately, "I may be in time." She turned through a broken gap In the hedge.

In some of the southern counties of England queer superstitions are cur rent about eating blackberries after day. The country people say that on Michaelmas eve tho old gentleman "plants his cloven foot" on all the blackberries as yet uugathered. After this date, Sept. 2M, it is unlucky to pick or eat the fruit. The date upon which the devil puts his foot down against blackberry eating varies in dif ferent districts. In some it is as late at Oct. 10, by which time one would naturally suppose there were no black berries left to stamp out. But the story of his prohibition is told in many places. Great misfortune, sickness or death will surely follow disobedience to his orders. But why his Satanic maj esty should concern himself so partic ularly about blackberries when so many greater matters might be said to claim his attention, none of the stories states. It may be that he considers black bert lea too healthy and wishes to limit the consumption. BURKEKHIbb BATTLE TENSE FEELING QF THE PATRIOTS BEFORE THE GREAT EVENT. Watchtiiar the Brit lull Shipa That Were Trrmluf With Iledeoata. DrlnkluK Tea In Secret In a Gar ret—The Story of an Eyewltneaa. My great grandmother, Parnell Brooks, whose midden name was Boylstou. In the year 1820 sold her homestead, on which now stands Bunker Hill monument, to the city of Boston for $.">,000. At the time of the battle of that name she was a little girl of seven and a half years living with her parents, Itichard and Farnell Boylston, In the old homestead resi dence, which then stood on the very spot where the monument now stands. She retained to the end of her day* a most vivid recollection Of events there, especially on the U;ry and night pre ceding that memorable battle, tho vari ous Incidents of which she never tired of telling and retelling. Asuearly as I can, I shall give these_ little items as she used to relate them, as follows: "My father, Richard Boylston, was the grandson of the celebrated Dr. Zabdiel Boylston of Brookllne, who was the first to Introduce (in 17'_' l) vac cination into the civilized world and which he did against great opposition, precedlug Dr. Edward Jenuer's fur ther development of the practice in England by about fifty years. At tho above date, during the epidemic of smallpox in Boston, Dr. Boylstou in oculated 28om, were a chest of tea, a teakettle, teacups, saucers, etc., carefully covered with a heap of tlax. Every afternoon my mother would retire to this garret with any guest sho might have to brew and drink a cup of that forbid den lieverage. How often had I been told to stay near the door and play, but to run quickly and tell my moth er If I saw any one coiglog up the hill! "For (lays out in the harlur mother ami the servants had l>een watchinp and discussing the t>iu' ships wbkli were anchored there. Tliere were no many and M> different from the little fisliinu and harlnjr Ixiats I had been accustomed to S there. "I was too youna to fully under stand exactly what it all meant, l>ut I had a vague idea that something aw ful was going to happen. "The day before the battle, June 10, we children, my brother Hlehard. sis ter Ann and myself, had been playing in the newly gathered hay which the farm hands had left In little cocks ready for carting to the barn. Thes«? we had on fit to scatter mostly in nil directions. "My father, returning for uiidday dinner, looked very serious, and we thought him exceedingly cross, for he commanded that we should rake up every particle of the hny into cocks again immediately. "At dinner there was much talk of war and the Hritish, and the ships were watched closer than ever. They neeined now to f»e teeming wltti con stantly moving red coated men. At; supper the family talked with hated breath, and afterward father went back to the village, which mother did not seem to like him to do aiul was very unusual for hint. We were not ptlt to bed at the usual time. They seemed to forget us. nnd we huddled around mother as she talked anxiously with neighbors who had called *o see father. "At 10 o'clock, when father returned, he said orders had l>eon Issued to Colo nel Prcseott to fortify Bunker 11111, as every evidence showed the British were intending to land. Our callers departed, and we retired. "It muftt have l>een nearly midnight when the whole household was aroused by terrible knocking at our doors and the tramping of horses in the yard, father, hastily throwing up his .win dow, demanded who was there. The answer was: 'General rutnam. Get the women and children out of the house as quickly ss possible* We are fortifying the hill and must have the house.' "Instantly candles were lighted and ail was excitement and for some time confusion. Some big chests were feot flown from the garret, howover, nnd Clothing, silver, Jewelry, everything nt hand promiscuously flung In, my father assuring us that we probably should never pgatn look upon anything left behind, " 1- llorses Were quickly hitched to tho carriage nnd others to a big farm wagon. Mather and we children— Ann clinging to her pet kitten and I hogging my dear old dog Bose, both crying for we knew not what—were put Into the carriage. Hie women servants and chests ipto the wagon, and away tve went down the bill among hundreds of men now moving up from all direc tions.

Supporters of Edwin S. Stuart, th« Republican nominee for governor, and his colleagues on the.state ticket, hart had gratifying reports from two and* of the state this week. First from Allegheny county cams the newa that the leaders of the CitV zens Party, the local reform organi zation which succeeded in electing George W. Guthrie mayor of Pitta burg, have decided to support the an | tire Republican state ticket. They pro I pose to confine their independent po I litlcal operations to local affairs. In the state campaign they will vote th« full Republican ticket from Stuart down, and also for all of the Republl can candidates for congress. While State Chairman Wesley B Andrews has been getting gratifying reports from all of the Republicaß county chairmen in the interior conn ties, the state committee leaving the management of the canvass In the counties of Allegheny and Philadel phia to the local organiatlons. he has not got better news from anywhert than he has received from both thess counties. In Philadelphia, where former Mayot Stuart is best known, a strong mor» mcnt has been started in his interest among the members of the City Party. Leaders in that party have formed as organization with the Tiew to votinf for the Republican state nominees and for Republican nominees for coa gress. The chairman of the movement wat one of the most artlve - men upon th« stump for Berry and the fusion ticket last fall He was counted upon by tht Emory managers to accompany theii candidate for governor on his tour ol the state. Llncolnite Campaign Chair man Gable was chagrined a few day» ago when he learned that this gifted spellbinder Is going to speak for Ed win S. Stuart this fall. His name It George W. Sturmer.
