"Friend lwla," said Hlnnk, "where,
have thee and our iiirntl been and
where bound?"
"1 want to get out of here at once,"
said Whetaell, "and Long Anna Is of
the aaraa opinion. Thin country'a be
wltohed, and Long Arnia and I are
nearly reared to denth. "
"Friend Lewis, thee mnat not tell
each fttoriea to tne," aaid old Ella".
"Thee knowa I am thy friend, and I
hare on Ted thee when a price waa on
thy head, I know thon art a man of
conrago, and friend Jonathan Untea,
whom eoma call Long Anna, fenra
nothing on earth, and I'm fearful noth
ing anywhere else, and yet thou fullest
ma that he and thee are wared eren al
tnoat onto death. Shame on thee ao to
declare before thy friend, who loea ye
both aa he were thy fntherl"
"No, no, Elina,"anid Whetzell, drop
ping into the (junker apeech. "I tell
thee no lie. We are scared. Yeaterdny
afternoon we were In hiding about a
mile from Dunknrd creek, and in the
evening we built n flrn nnder the bnnk
very carefully, and we got annin black
rocks to prop up a little kettle and put
them beside the flrn rnther than in it,
and the black rocka took fire and darned
fiercely, with a filthy smoke and a
bright light, and Long Arma anid tha
devil would como if wn staid, and we
grabbed our kettle nnd poured nut tlin
wuter and made our wy bar, leaving
the black rocka to burn. "
Eliaa Bin k waa much ftatwariteil. tie
did not tell Whetaell wliut the black
rocka were, but he found nut exactly
where the men had mndn their flro, and
when they went away he gave them
each new Ezra Knglo rifle, a knife
and a tomahawk, with four pouudt of
powder ana a lupply of lend.
Then he hunted up their camping
ground, fooud tha "black rocka" and
opened coal bank into one of the river
billa, and thia coal bauk ia atill In ei

absolutely free from slat and burua

Tha Ber.n Boersen -Courier tells
bout German's invention of paper
anirt trout which ia Intended to an
peal to tha large number of continental
Germane who wear dickies. The shirt
front baa paper oollar polish and la in
aevan layers. Aa each layer ia torn off
it reveals another white, glistening
front. Thus from one paper dicky tha
wearer may evolve a clean paper shirt
front for every day in tha week. The
dicky is made to button to any kind of
shirt It cocts but 80 pfennig, or about
' T cent; consequently tha expense of
clean front ia but a cent day. In view
of the prevalence of the dicky habit in
Germany the inventor haa taken steps
to manufacture hia compound shirt
fronts In large quantities.

the teeth on edge are particularly to be

Of Milton's three wives and hla rela
tions with tliem enough haa been writ
ten. It was hard thing to be Milton's
wife or Milton's daughter. He was
stern, he was austere, he was self cen
tered: his impeccable strength waa pur
chased by sublime and monotonous
egoism, which is the name they give to
selfishness in poets. Very chill must
have been the life of his girls in that
Puritan house, reading to the lnwrapied
riirituii father from Intiguugcs they did
not understand and taking down from
his lips poetry they understood still less.
Milton found them undutlful. Poor lit
tle "uiidutiftil" daughters! Fathers hnd
terrible conceptions of duty in those
days. Did any one ever want to know
Miltonr Did any one ever not want to
know Hhnkesnenref Doubtless there are
renders of the Exeter Hall class who
would have yearned for the godly com
pany of the "great Christian poet."
But, on tint whole, how thankful one
should be that Hhnkespearn was not
Christian poet!" Academy.
