Secret Service (Original.] A few years after the closo of the civil war I visited my comrade, Cap tain Collins, lie had lieeu married, while 1 had remained a bachelor. While waiting for dinner we talked over old times. "Women are the worst enemies we have to meet In war," I said. "If I were a general, I'd have a corps of wo men to defeat the schemes of women of the opposite side. Men are no match for them." "Klnsey," Collins protested, "you were always a woman hater. The stories of how southern women carried informa tion are all rubbish. I never saw nor heard c ' any of it. I married a south ern girl. "I exi»ei cod it,"l went on."lt was in the early summer of lSt52. I was then a second lieutenant of caval ry and on duty at Pulaski, Tenn., with a picket guard on one of the turnpikes leading northward. We were stationed some five miles out of town on a crest, so that I could look either back to town or up the pike. Of course I had orders to let no one go through except those who had passes. Well, one morning, looking back to l'uiaski, I saw a wag on coming loaded with furniture, and when It reached me I noticed that a woman, a very pretty young woman, was driving it. The major wus In com mand of that part of the picket line aud happened to be at our post at the time. " 'l'm going no'th,' said the lady. 'l'm tired of this war country. I'm a no'thr *n woman anyway, and I'm going to Join my friends in Ohio." " 'Let me see your pass,' said the ma jor. " 'Haven't any pass; didn't know I'd have to got one.' •* "You can't goon without a pass.' "I was standing directly behind the major, and the woman was looking right over him to me. She was little more than a girl, and I sympathized With her. I didn't see any reason why ten miles should be added to the Jour ney of a northern woman trying to get out of the south. I gave her the wink And, suddenly pushing forward, threw my arms around her neck and kissed her, exclaiming: "'Why, Alice, who would ever have thought of meeting you here?" "She twigged at once and received my caress without making any fuss. Then I turned and introduce my cousin, Al ice Wartleld. This fixed matters. The major not only passed her through, but gave me permission to accompany her some distance up the pike. I rode by her, she thanking me with the sweetest of words and the most honeyed smiles for saving her the trouble of going back for her pass. I asked her at what point In Ohio her people lived, but she said she'd never been there herself and didn't seem to know much about it. She explained this by saying that she'd lived in the south ever since she was ten years old. "Well, we were riding through a wood when I heard a clattering of the hoofs of many horses. We become accustom ed to noticing small things In war, and I couldn't understand how the coming cavalry—for such It must be—made no din of sabers. Our men always wore sabers, but the southerners didn't. Sud denly I saw between the trees a Con federate flag coming. I was about to turn when the girl In the wagon whip ped out a revolver and called on me to throw up my hands. I was too late anyway, for the coiners were right on me, so I obeyed her order. "When the troopers came up, It turned out that General John Morgan, the cel ebrated Confederate partisan loader, was In command. IT<* took off his hat to the girl in the wagon, with whom be was evidently well acquainted. ~ 'For heaven's sake,' he exclaimed, •what are you doing with all that fur niture?' "The girl laughed. 'I tried hard to get a pass to come out to meet you, but the Yanks were too smart for me, BO I played the northern woman trying to go home. This gentleman helped me through by owning me for his cousin. But, general, there's a Yankee wagon train at Pulaski, and I've taken all this trouble to come out and tell you. There's a small guard, and you can easily capture the whole kit.' " *Oeneral,' I said, 'take me south, please, somewhere, anywhere, where I'll not see my comrades again. I'd rather goto Libby than meet one of 'em.' "The general laughed, but I was obliged togo with him back to Pulaski. The girl left her household effects in a farmyard on the road and, mounting a horse, rode back with us, guying mo pleasantly all the way. "That was the way John Morgan came to know of the wagon train lieing at Pulaski He drove off the guard and after helping himself to what supplies •he wanted burned the rest." "By Jove!" exclaimed Collins. "She was a plucky girl, wasn't she?" "Yes, and there were plenty more of the same sort in tfie south. I have of ten wondered if the girl ever inarriid. Her husband might expect to wake up any night with the cold muzzle of a revolver on his temple." At that moment Mrs. Collins entered, and her husband rose, as I did also, to "Introduce me. I started, and Mrs. Col lins looked at me scrutinlzingly. She "was the girl who had trieked me. "Colonel Klnsey, my dear, has been telling me a cock and a E»ull story about"— "It's ali true," she said. "I was the woman, and I've n<*ver forgotten the gentleman's kindness. I never told you the story for fear of Incurring your prejudice, but now that It's all out I will admit I have a Confederntc medal for the secret service work I did on that occasion " ALVKED TOWNSEND A C urloii* rticnomenon. A singular phenomenon occurs on the borders of tlie Itcd sea at a place called Nakous, where intermittent un derground sounds have been heard for an unknown nuiuber of centuries. It Is situated at ul»ont half a mile's dis tance from the shore, whence a long reach of aaiuls ascends rapidly to a height of 900 feet. This reach Is about eighty feet wide and resembles an am phitheater. being walled in by low rocks, 'i he sounds coming up from the ground at this place recur at Intervals of about an hour. They at first resem ble a low murmur, but ere long there Is heard a loud knocking somewhat like the strokes of a bell and which at the end of about live minutes becomes so strong as to agitate the sand. The explanation of this curious phe noinenon given by the Arabs Is that there is a convent under the ground here, and that these sounds are those of the bell which the monks ring for prayers. So they call It Nakous, which means n bell. The Arabs atlirm that the noise so frightens their camels when they hear it as to render them furious Philosophers attribute the sound to suppressed volcanic Jietion - probably to the bubbling of gas or va pors underground. Newcastle (Eng land) Chronicle. WAGE EARNERS AT THE FAIR Prominent Men Planning to Help Workers See the Great Exposition. Wage earners of America are to see the World's Fair by tens of thousands under the auspices of the National Civ ic Federation. A new bureau of the Federation has Just been established at St. Louis upon the World's Fair grounds. Back of the movement are G rover Cleveland, Oavid 11. Francis Andrew Curnegie, Cornelius N. Bliss and others, l'laus are making to have a vast number of the wage earners of the I'nited States see the World's Fair, the most lorious spectacle of the age anil the most Inlliientlal factor In the education of the American citizen. The bureau is in charge of Miss Ger trude Becks, secretary uf the Fed era tlou's welfare department, of which Mr. 11. 11. Vreelaiul, head of the street railway system of Nc.v York city, Is chairman. The bureau headquarters is In tiie east end of the I'alace of '.trans portation, on the ground tloor. The Im position management i;> in hearty ac cord with this movement on the part of the 1 'edcration t » iu.luce the large manufacturers and other employers of labor to provide ways and means for the wage earners of America to visit the Exposition. President Francis is displaying personal interest In the uu dertaklug by affording the Federation every facility for the consummation of its efforts, and in this connection he has directed Theodore Hardee, assist ant to the secretary, to co-operate with Miss Heikf and Ralph M. Easley, chairman of the Federation's executive council. In every possible way. The Exposition management has also equipped tills bureau with clerical as sistance and a full supply of World'B Fair literature.

It will also indicate the objects of special interest to various craftsmen in their particular lines, so that they may devote as much time as possible to the objects of peculiar Interest to them. These and many oth er efforts will be made to help all wage earners to enjoy the benefits of this great Exposition comfortably and nt an expense within their means. A Costly Hrtort. "When Chief Justice Chase, a man of great abilities and marked characterls tics, was presiding In one of the coun ty courts of Vermont," said a lawyer of the state, "an appeal case from a Justice's court came up before him, eo small and contemptible In its origin that he ordered it stricken from the docket. The case was where a turkey had trespassed upon the garden of a neighbor and got shot for his depreda tions. The owner brought suit tore cover damages and, falling before the Justice, had appealed the case. Judge Chase was angry and when he ordered the case from the docket said: " 'The lawyer who consented to ap peal this case ought to be thrown from the window of the courtroom. Why didn't he have the case referred to some of the honest neighbors for set tlement?' " 'Because, your fconor,' rotortod tho attorney, getting hot under the collar, 'it was our intention not to let honest people have anything to do with it' "True, this was a neat retort, but it cost the lawyer Juat an even SSO for contempt of court." Ancient Chinee? Musical Instruments The ancient Chinese believed that music was of divine origin and that It was a gift from the gods toman. An cient Chinese Instruments ore of very neat workmanship. There is a small violin called ur-heen, which is made of dark wood, the head covered with snakeskin. It is not ornamented with any carved or inlaid designs, but it is beautifully made, aud the wood 1b pol lshed very smooth. There are only two silken strings, tuned in fifths and played on with a horsehair bow. A three string E>anJo, also covered with snakcsklus, has a long neck, the top of which, where the strings are fastened, being carved to represent a bat. There is also a very lngenkms mouth organ called ti-tsu. The body is made of wood, and In it are Inserted seventeen pipes. The noteß are made by stop ping the holes In the pipes with the fingers. The Chinese are very fond of drums, which they call kou. The oldest drums were of baked clay, with a skin head fastened on with nails Instead of braced cords, which made it Impossible to tune them as modern drums are tuned. The variations of tone were regulated only by the force of the blow. In«ratl< udr. A congressman from a northern state was complaining to a colleague of the political nonactlvlty of a num ber of his constituents whom he had been Influential in placing in public offices. "There Is no use talking," he said, "this civil service business Is a hum bug. I named four or five fellows for good Jobs, and as soon as they got warm In their seats they snapped their lingers at me. They felt that they were protected by the civil service and made up their minds to lay down and not do any work." "That's nothing to u fellow that I had appointed," said the other man, who hailed from one of the western states. "He was worse than any of your fellows." "Why, what did he do?" inquired the northerner. "Do?" was the Indignant reply. "Why, as soon as he got his place he joined the church, and now he Is use less as far as our political organlza tion Is concerned." A Scotch Sehool Story- I>r. Kerr, a Scotch minister, tells this story of his visit to a village school: "The lesson was one giving an account of a clever dog which had reaeiwd a child from drowning. It was said that the dog was caressed by the par ents of the child. I asked what was the meaning of caressed, and the an swer came at once, 'Made of fond led.' | On referring to the list of words at the top of the lesson I found the ex planation given was 'made of, fondled.' Wishing to find out if any child in the class had got a glimmering of the meaning. I went from top to bottom and got from every child nothing but 'made of fond led,' pronounced as four words, to which they attached no meaning whatever. The teacher was surprised that i was not satisfied with 1 the Intelligence of the teachiaz. * THE OTHER MAN [Copyright, 1903, by C. n. Lewis.] One dark night, while Grant's linos were Investing Petersburg. a Federal force captured a Confederate outpost, and 110 sooner were the prisoners brought In than one of them proved to be the double of a private In a New York regiment. The name of the Confederate was Waketleld, while that of the Federal was Thomas. The former belonged to a Louisiana regiment. When placed side by side they seemed to be twin brothers. Each was about twenty-two years old; each was about live feet live Inches high; each weigtuxl 140 pounds. Their eyes and hair were of the same color, and even their voices were the same except that the southerner had a little more drawl. The pair were as much aßtonlshed ns the officers and Burgeons who were called to look thein over. lou will not be surprised that advan tage was taken of this curious coinci dent to send Thomas into the Confeder ate lines. As a preparatory step lie was given a week in which to pump Wakefield. The prisoner did not know the object, and, being of a garrulous disposition, he was ready to talk on any subject. Thomas got from him his family history complete, then the name of the town from which the man hail ed, with incidents of people and streets; then the names of his officers and com rades, with incidents of campaigning. The Federal had been an actor before enlisting and had cultivated a wonder ful memory. When he had stored up a thousand different things In his mind he bought the uniform worn by the Confederate and was ready to set out on his mission. One night Thomas was taken down to the front und mnde a bolt for It. In other words, It was made to appear that one of the Confederate prisoners was making n dash for liberty, and the picket opened a sharp lire, but took care not to aim at the running man. On reaching the Confederate lines Thomas was sent to the headquarters of General Mahone. The general seem ed a bit suspicious, and Thomas, play ing the part of Wakefield, asked that his captain be sent for. It was a cou ple of hours before the oillcer arrived, and the general at once said to him: "Captain, this man who has come Into our lines tonight claims to be a member of your company. Is he or is he not?" "He certainly is, sir," was the prompt reply. "What's his name?" "John Wakefield, sir." That settled it. After three or four days and under pretense of visiting a cousin In a Vir ginia regiment Thomas covered the front and had a look at guns and forti fications. When he returned to camp, calculating to take the iirst opportunity to escape, he was at once put under arrest. It appeared that Wakefield and some of his comrades had raided a store of a lot of eatables, and the proprietor had ascertained their names and now demanded their punishment. When the merchant and Thomas were brought face to face the latter declared that Thomas was not the man be represented himself to be. Why he should have made such a declaration la a puzzle, but he seemed to !>•• guid*"d by intuition. He was ridiculed and laughed at, but he stuck to his assertion and even denounced Thomas to Gener al Mahone. As stated after the war, the genera) had felt doubts of Thomas from the first, which may again be set down to the sense of intuition. The name of the merchant who had been despoiled was £a unders, and he was of un implacable tmtnro Bolus put on his mettle by the sneers and ridicule, he determined to prove his case at ail costs As the accuser ho had the general ask hundreds of ques tions. He knew the town and the peo ple from which Thomas as Wakefield claimed to hall and in the course of the day had trapped him a dozen times over. As an offset all the officers and privates of the company asserted that Thomas was Wakefield and that there was no room to doubt. He went at it and related every Incident of camp life for a year past and told of things which It seemed impossible for a stranger to know. General Mahone was clearly puzzled over the ea.se and took two duys to think It over. At the end of that time Thomas was escorted back to find a soldier in Federal uniform in the gener al's tent, and there were also two .•lvll tans In waiting- It was a little surpriso for the spy. The man In Federal uni form claimed to have known Thomas as a Federal soldier under the name of Brown, and the two civilians claimed that he hud never been a resident of their town. Thomas realized that the pinch had come, and he braced himself to make a fight for his life. General Mahone treated him In the fairest manner, and, acting as his own counsel, lie went at It and soon had the supposed Federal sol dier all twisted up and out of the run ning. Then he tackled the civilians, and they proved to be as easy game. In stead of being cornered up he cornered his accusers, and It was so well done that he was complimented by the gen eral. When the case had been conclud ed, Mahone leaned back and looked at the prisoner for a long minute and then said: "Wakefield, everything is In your fa vor, and I am going to dismiss tho charges." There Is no doubt that in time the Im position would have been exposed and that he would have ended his life on the gallows, but one night during a ter rible thunderstorm, with a row going on between the pickets at the same time, he made a bolt and fortunately reached the Federal lines In safety.

LEATHER AT WORLD'S FAIR. Cool Nights and Delightful Indian Summer to Bo Expected at St. Louis. ! Usually the warmest month of the j year, July proved to be one of the most pleasant of the World's Fair season, j the average temperature being l nights, nnd September and Octo ber are the most delightful months of the year. It is that period known as Indian summer, when the foliage and birds linger to challenge the coming winter. Nowhere i>n the American con tinent is there a spot more delightful than the World's Fair city, a garden of blooming flowers and spraying foun tains. St. Louis, like all cities, experienced several hot days during July, but her highest temperature recorded was !>:? degrees against it I degrees registered by the thermometer at Chicago. On the same day the mercury rose to 00 degrees in Philadelphia, and scores wf heat prostrations were reported from New York and Boston. The relative humidity shows St. j Louis to about normal. Assuming absolutely no moisture in the ntmos- j phere to be zero and absolute wetness to be 100, the relative humidities for July, taken from the records of more than twenty years, Boston shows 70.0, New York 72.2, Philadelphia Cincin nati 04.6, Chicago 00.9 and St. Louis j 60.3. The same degree of heat in two ; {.'luces, with different degrees of hu- ' midlty, would cause It to seem the j hotter at the point of greater density. St. Lonis may therefore rightly claim j to be a summer resort this summer, positively one of the most comfortable | jid delightful places on the map. How «o Make Borax Wntfr.
