Mysteriously Missing.
AT TII15 foot of tlielioBton mountain
in. Henrpy county, Ark., dwells a
man named Mason. He Is over eighty
yeara old, mid his tall ilgure, white hair
aud patriarchal, nlrglve him an inde
scribable appearance. Ills house Is a
rough but comfortable log cabin, and
the few acres around It adbrd ample sub.
slstence. An excellent marksman, lie
has never abandoned the use of bis
trusty rllle,whlle the numerous deer and
hear skins within and without the cabin
bear ample testimony of skill uud suc
cess. With the exception of his wife he
lives entirely alone, llut his life has
not always been thus desolate. Only a
fow years ago three children brightened
his humble home, two boys, John and
David, and one daughter, Lizzie, who
was the pride of the old man's heart and
the light of his rude cabin. The sons
were light-hearted boys, given to drink
somewhat, but liked by everybody,whllo
Lizzie was a rare, wild wood blossom
lier soft blue eyes and flaxen hair play
ed sad havoc with the hearts of the
younger portion of the opposite sex In
all that section and many sought her
hnnd in marriage, the fortunate suitor
being a young man named Charles Mo
IClnley, rather dissipated, not worth a
dollar, yet handsome, very forest Apol
loIn short, Just the kind of a man to
win a young girl's hoart.
The Mason family were anything but
f pleiieed with her choice, and spared no
eflbrt to break oil the attachment the
lovers had for each other. Lizzie, how
ever, could not be moved. Entreaties
and threats were alike unavailing. The
former'gave her courage to plead for
Charley ; the latte made her cling the
closer to him. The young mRn was
also firm. I will never give up Lizzie,
lie said, with a big round oath, when
questioned on that point. Finding all
other efforts useless the Masons resorted
to more violent measures. John Mason
met Charles McKinley one day in the
forest and a desperate fight ensued, in
which both were badly cut and bruised,
but In whloh John was decidedly worst
ed. This stirred up additional bitterness
and for a time threatened to draw the
majority of the surrounding families
into the quarrel and disturb the peace of
the neighborhood. Lizzie sought to
pour oil on the troubled water, and her
gentle werds melted the hardened na
tures that evil passions had filled with
wrath. There was a reconciliation be
tween her lover and brother, and there
wus general rejoicing lu consequence,
when an event occurred which changed
amity Into distrust and suspicion.
The event was no less than the sudden
and mysterious disappearance of Charles
McKinley. He was last seen all ve, alone
in the forest beyond the mountains, and
M as on the trail of a herd of deer. The
most rigid search failed to discover him
or any trace of his whereabouts. He
had dropped out of sight and life as if
the earth had opened and swallowed him
up. All Borts of storieH wee rife. One
suld be was murdered, anotiier that he
had run away, still another that he was
purponoly hiding himself and would sud
denly return. But as time went on and
he neither came nor was board of the
suspicion that he had met with foul play
gained ground rapidly, growing into
certainty in the mlndd of very many
persons.
Of course John Mason was accused of
the murder, and though he etienuously
denied the charge, the evidenee against
him was strong enough to warrant his
apprehension. Once in the meshes of
law it seeitied as if a hundred circum
stances cme up, all crying trumpet
tongued, "Guilty I" Divers persons
had heard iaim threaten to kill Charles
McKinley; that young man bad him
self said that he did not oonakler his
life safe as long as John Mason remain
ed in the country. Eveu John's father
admitted reluctantly that his on had
declared hlslutentlon of rlddling-Charles
McKinley with buckshot, while David
corroborated the parent's statement.
Thus the colls of circumstantial evl
deuce closed tighter and tighter About
the young man, and beyond his bare
assertion there was nothing to be said la
refutation. The blow had fallen oa the
young girl with crushing effect. The
sudden disappearance of her lover, the
arrest of her brother on the charge of
murdering him, almost drove her in
sane. She however, shared the popular
oplniou that young McKinley had been
murdered, and that her brother was
guilty of the terrible crime. Urged for
a reason for her belief, she finally ad
mitted that it reeled on the slender
foundation of a dream. She added that
on the night succeeding the day upon
which Charles McKinley disappeared ,ln
a dream she saw her brother and him in
a violent quarrel. The ' men were in a
dark ravine ; there waa a mountain to
their right, and a deep, dense forest to
their left. She heard their words ; she
saw John strike McKinley with his
rifle, and fell him to the earth. That
blow was fatal. The young man never
spoke afterwards. John hid the body
In a dark cave In the mountains, and
there It still remained ! Tills dream
made a powerful Impression upon the
young girl, and though many were dis
posed to laugh at It, even while admit
ting it told tremendously againRt her
brother, nothing could shake her faith
and confidence in Us horrible reality I
She insisted that It wns true, though no
trace of the body could be found in any
of the numerous mountain caves after
most rigid search, and the vision rested
only upon her Individual statement.
But her fnlth gave ten-fold power; her
acts seemed to confirm her belief. From
that moment she was a changed woman.
Slowly she pined away, The color faded
from her cheeks, giving place to a
deathly pallor ; her Btep, once light and
elastic, became slow and languid ; her
eyes lost their tender glance and spark
led with an unearthly lustre; she utter
ed no complaint. Like the gentle girl
who loved the unfortunate Irish patriot,
Robert Emmet, she passed . to her
earthly grave, forgiving all, beloved by
every one, the victim of a sad broken
heart !
John Mason broke jail and fled to Tex
as, his brother David going Into exile
with him. This settled all doubts or
questions as to his guilt or Innocence
Flight was accepted by one and all as a
confession of guilt. Liberal rewards
were ofTered for the capture of the broth
ers, David being considered an accessory
to the crime, but neither were ever ap
prehended. From the Lone Star state
they went to Louisiana and in New Or
leans fell victims to that dread scourge,
yellow fever. Letters now in the fath
er's possession contain the most fervent
protestations of their Innocence ,oud sub
sequent events clearly exonerate them
from complicity In the taking off of
young McKinley. For years after,
when the main actors in this strange
episode slept in their graves miles apart ;
when interest In the scenes we have
just related had almost died away, or
was recalled with awe at the hunter's
winter fireside, the mystery surround
ing the disappearance of the young
man was brought to light I
A party of hunters, while chasing a
deer in an adjacent county, found his
remains in a cave in which the animal
they were pursuing had established his
lair. There was only a ghastly-looking
skeleton of a man, a rusty rllle, and,
rudely carved in the yielding rock upon
which it rested, these words :
" Lost, can't find my way out, Charles
McKinley."
That was all, but it told its own story.
It solved an enigma that had darkened
many lives. It cleared from the foul
stain of murder, though too late, John
Mason and his brother.
This was the life-history a record
which, by the way, is authentic and can
be verified by other living witnesses the
old man told us, one evening as we sat
beside the glowing tire in the big Are
place of his lonely cablu. The night-
wlud swept down the deep mountain
gorges with the roar of an angry sea,
the stars twinkled dimly overhead, the
howl of the wolf echoed illsmally far out
In the shadows of the woods, while the
darkness of night filled all space.
THE LAW OF TRESPASS.
A lawyer contributes the following.
What constitutes trespass is a ques
tion that arises continually, especially
among farmers and owners of smaller
tracts of real estate, and ideas concern
ing it are about as vague as they well
oau be. An Interesting article on the
laws governing this question appears In
the last quarterly report of the State
Board of Agriculture, which deserves to
be read by every farmer in the land, as
they are often called upon to face the
troubles arlskig out of such cases than
any other class of. men in the communi
ty. Trespass is defined as "any trans
gaesslon or otfence against the law of
nature, of Boclety, or of the .country in
which we live, whether it relate to a
man's person or property." This is its
widest meaning. Ordinarily, however,
it has reference only to an entrance on
the property of another without author
ity, and in doing damage while there,
whether much or little. The laws give
the owner exclusive control over his
property. Any infringement of his
right without his permission, or jus
titled legal authority therefore, consti
tutes a trespass. It does not need that
the land should be enclosed by fence.
The law supposes an imaginary en
closure, which answers every purpose,
and the simple act of passing it consti
tutes trespass, although no harm should
result to crops, cattle or aught else.
Even a person legally authorized to seize
certain goods on a man's premises dare
not break open doors for that purpose ;
If he does, his authority avails him
nothing, and he becomes a eommon
trespasser. Neither Is a person justified
in bo arranging spouts as to discharge
water on another man's land, even
though he never step off his own
grounds, nor permit filth to pass a
boundary Hue without due permlsion.
When a spout first discharges on a
man's own premises and the contents
then find their way to a neighbor's
premises, it does not constitute a tres
pass. Hunting and fishing, however,
constitute the most common annoying
sources of trespasses to which our
farmers are subjected. No matter that
neither grass nor grain are trampled
down, whether gates are left closed, liars
left up and no rails broken, the pursuit
of game on the lands of another with
out permission Is trespass. To even en
terati unclosed piece of wood, where
there are ho crops to be Injured, in pur.
suit of game, which may have taken
refuge there, Is a violation of law quite
as much as if a wheat field in ear had
been trampled down. In fishing as in
hunting, the ordinary ponds and
streams are the exclusive property of
those through whose lauds they flow or
in which they happen to be situated.
In the case of navigable streams, any
one may boat up and down them and
fish In them, but has no right to land
on the shore and do go.
A MATTER-OF-FACT ROMANCE-
NOW that " mysterious disappear
ances " appear to have set in with
unexampled severity, It will be of in
terest -to recall a very remarkable
Instance which made a great lmmpres
slon on the mind of Nathaniel Haw
thorne. A gentleman whom Mr. Haw
thorne names Wakefield, being happily
married and dwelling In London, one day
hit upon the idea that he would myste
riously disappear. There was, or at
least there Is, nothing peculiar in that.
Only Mr. Wakelleld determined that he
would not disappear further than the
next street. Accordingly he took lodg
ing In the street next adjoining that in
which his once happy home was situa
ted, and there, lost to sight though to
memory dear, dwelt for twenty years,
During that period, our authority says,
he beheld his home every day, and fre
quently the forlorn Mrs. Wakefield, but
was himself never recognized. After
this gap of twenty years in his matrimo
nial felicity, when his death was accept
ed as a certainty, when his estate had
been administered and his wife Ions re,
signed to her autumnal widowhood, he
one evenlne ouletlv knocked at the door.
walked in as if he had just arrived after
a day's absence in the city, and thence
forward lived a lovlngand home-staying
spouse. Tne advantages or this to no
graphical arrangement are obvious, at
least as iar asjvir. waKetlelcl was con
cerned. His propinquity would have
enabled him at any time to appear on
the scene, supposing his wife Lad been
less laittirui to Bis memory, ana been
disposed again to embark UDon matri
mony. Tn that extent he seems to have
bad his wife at a disadvantage, and on
the whole his conduct is not commenda
ble. But there Is one grain of comfort
to be derived from the story which we
should add, is not born of the fertile
brain that weaved the weird tale of
" The House with the Seven Gables,"
but was related as a matter-of-fact In a
contemporary newspaper. It goes to
prove, iu support of more modern and
notorious instances, that when gentle
men, and particularly married gentle
man, "mysteriously disappear," there
are alternatives to the acceptance of the
theory of robbery and murder. London
TO YOUNG MEN.
A LITTLE common sense and good
advice will not be wasted, hardly
out of place, even here. We do not
know who wrote it and here It is :
Young man if you contemplate a bus
iness career, you cannot look after your
habits too carefully. Your' aim in life
is to be successful, with bad habits it
is impossible to be successful or respected
Matters which seem of small moment
to you now may become in future the
turning-point in your career, either up
or down, as they have that of many a
man before you. In illustration of this
we print the following anecdote as re
lated in one of the most prominent New
York dallies :
Horace B. Clafiin, the most promi
nent and wealthy dry goods merchant
of New York, was alone in ids office
one afternoon when a young man, pale
and careworn, timidly knocked and en
tered. " Mr. Clafiin," said he, " I have
been unable to meet certain payments
because parties failed to do by me as they
agreed to do, and I would like to have
$10,000. I come to you becaue you have
been a friend to my father, to my moth
er and might be a friend to me."
" Come in," said Clafiin, "Come in
and have a glass of wine."
" No," said the young man, " I don't
drlnk.,j
" Have a cigar then ?"
" No. I never smoke."
"Well," said the joker, "I would
like to accommodate you, but I don't
think lean."
" Very well," said the young man as
he was about to leave the room. " I
thought perhaps you might Good-day
sir."
"Hold on," said Mr. Clallin, "you
don't drink 1"'
" No."
" Nor smoke, nor gamble nor any
thing of the kind V
No, sir I"
"Well," said Clallin, with tears in
ills eyes, " you shnll have it and three
times the amount if you wish. Your
father let me have $5000 once and aked
me the same questions. No thanks 1
owed it to you for your father" sake."
SUNDAY HEALING.,
WHAT GOD DOES IS FOR THE BEST.
M
RH. M-
, a lady of more than
ordinary Intelligence, lived many
years ago in Petersburg, Virginia. Bho
was a married woman, and the mother
of four children at the time of tho oc
currence of the Incident which I now
relate. The writer received the story
from her own lips before she was called
away from earth. She died at an ad
vanced age, having adorned iter Chris
tian profession by a life of exemplary
piety.
Martha, her eldest child, was a beauti
ful girl, at the time referred to being
about fourteen years of age. She was
her mother's Idol, though her mother
was unconscious of the fact. Handsome
in person, sweet in disposition, gentle
in her manners, and withal devotedly
attached to her mother, she occupied a
supreme plat in her affections. Just
as she was verging on womanhood she
was taken ill, and gradually from bad to
worse. The most assiduous care In the
way of nursing and the constant atten
tion of the skillful physician failed to
arrest the disease. The mother was
frantlo in her grief as it became ap
parent that Martha must die, Amldall,
the sweet girl was calm, patient, and
resigned. At last the death angel came
and released the wan and wasted suffer-,
er from the grasp of the disease,
The mother was positively lnconsolo
ble. Nothing could allay the bitter an
guish of her heart. She lost her appe
tite, refused to take her food, sleep de
serted her pillow, and gradually she
wasted away almost to a skeleton. Sbo
wept until she had no more tears to
weep. Her friends exhausted every de
vice to divert her mind from the painful
subject. Her pastor prayed, counselled,
aud admonished in vain. It seemed she
must waste away and die.
In this state of mind, late one night,
she fell asleep, with a few stray tear
drops on her shrivelled cheek. Her
sleep was fitful for awhile, and then she
fell into a profound slumber, and sleep
ing she dreamed. Suddenly, as she re
lated the vison to me, a bright and
beautiful ai gel, clothed In the habili
ments of light, appeared to her, and, in
a sweet and winning voice, tenderly
asked.
" Would you see Martha V"
Instantly she responded.
Yes ; above all things In the universe
I would see her." '
" Then follow me," said the heavenly
visitant.
She arose and followed her guide with
out a word of further inquiry. Present
ly a stately and magnificent . edifice
greeted her wondering and half-bewildering
gaze. The door of entrance was
open. She ascended the steps and en
tered the resounding hall, following
close behind the angel, not knowing
whither be would lead ber. Without
even casting a glance behind or saying
a word, suddenly the angel paused and
with his ethereal finger touched a
spring. Noiselessly a door swung wide
open and revealed the inmates to her as
tonished gaze. There was a throng of
excited revellers, in the midst of bac
chanalian excesses, flushed with wine,
and presenting a revolting scene of de
bauchery and worldly dissipation. The
angel pointed his white index finger at
the most conspicuous figure in the
group, the one who led the dance
and was most boisterous in the mirth
and festive glee, and the turning his eye
on the mother, said, '
" There is Martha, behold her."
The mother passionately exclaimed,
" No, no ! that is not Martha ! I was
raising her for God, and for his church,
and for Heaven. That is not Martha."
" So you thought," responded the an
gel in tenderest acceuts ; " but she was
yourjdol. You could deny her noth
ing. That i9 what she would have
been."
The door closed.
" Follow me," said the angel.
She followed with a palpitating heart.
Her mind was filled with anxious and
painful thought. The angel paused and
again touched a secret spring, and the
door flew open as if on golden hinges.
Before her enraptured eyes there was
displayed a vast multitude of the most
resplendid forms she had ever conceived
of in human mould. Brows of lustrous
beauty, faces radiant with supernal
light, voices sweetly modulated, and all
enrobed in spotless white. Not a trace
of sorrow was on any face. It was
Heaven, and the angel, pointed to the
brightest of the joyous and happy
throng, said, turning his glad eye on the
mother.
" There is Martha a.- she U."
The dreamer awoke, but awoke frout
that dream in unutterable ecstasy she
awoke praising God. And relating this
dream she said to the writer, "Dream
though it was, to me it wes an apoca
lypae. I brushed away iny tr4. My
heart was relieved of it mi row, and I
now believe, and I have lung bt-lieved,
that Martha's death wax liet for her
aud best for ber motbt-r.
