CHATTER XII.

The disappearance of Lncy Ransom
did not long remain secret it rang
through the town and was accompanied
by all sorts of rumors. Some thought
she had elopeA but the prevailing opin-
ION was, that she had been tempted into
fatal error, and then in the frenzy Of re-
morse and shame, had destroyed herself,
in order to hide her disgrace from the
world. Slight hints were now recalled
by many of the poor girls acquain-
lance - hints of love, unrequited and
hopeless-of base and unfeeling treachery
of remediless sorrow, appealing to the
deepest sympathy, and not the less because
her heart found utterance in rude and
homely phrases. The idea of self destruc-
ton gained the more currency because no
one had seen the least trace of the girl
after the twilight of the preceding night,
and it was deemed improbable that she
couId have made her way on foot the
whole distance to the railway-station
without being seen by some one. And
when it was reported that a boy had
found shawl not far from the dam, the
public became so much aroused that it
was determined to make Thorough search.
The pond and canal were dragged. and
the bank of the river carefully explored
for miles below the town. The search
was kept up far into the night, the lead
ers being provided with pitch-pi torch
es. at every bend, or eddy, or sand-bar,
or fallen tree, where it might be supposed
that drifting body would be stopped.
the boldest breathed faster, and started
at the first glimpse of white stone or a
peeled and bleached poplar trunk, or other
similar object, fearing it might prove to
be what they expected, yet dreaded to see.
But it was in vain. Lucy, whether alive
or dead, was not to be found. Her grand
mother hobbled down to the village,
moaning piteously; but she could get
little consolation. least of all from Mrs.
Kinloch. This incident made a lasting
impression. The village boys, who re-
membered the search with shuddering
horror, avoided the river. and even Hugh
found means to persuade Mildred to give
no the pleasant road on its bank and take
the hill district for their afternoon rides.
Meanwhile the time for the trial Of the
eiectment suit was rapidly approaching.
and it was di6icult to say whether plain
tiff or defendant showed the more signs Of
anxiety. Mr.. Hardwick's life seemed to
be bound up in the shop; it was dear to
him in the memory of long years of cheer
full labor it was his pride as well as his
slA=and1ence lie had grown old By its

who depends for his bread on his dirty
work, and who, if he had only his own,
would have to leave even the hovel he
works in" 1t was fearful to see how
these contemptuous words were Missed out
by the Infatuated woman.
Mildred was courageous, but she had
not passed through the discipline that had
developed her step-mother's faculties. So
she burst into tears, saying, amid her sobs,
that Mark was allowed by all who knew
him, TO be young man of promise ; that,
for herself, she didn't care how much coal
dust he been through-Mat would wash
off; that, at any rate, she loved him, and
would never marry anybody else.
Mrs. Kinloch began to consider. Anger
had whirled her away once a second
explosion might create an irreparable
breach between them.
Don't lay up what 1 have said, Mil
dred," she urged, in a mild voice. "If
l object to your choice, it is because am
proud of you and want you to look high.
You can marry whom you choose; no
rank or station need be considered above
yon. Come, don't cry, dear !"
But Mildred refused to be soothed. She
could not sympathize with the tropical
nature, that smiled like sunshine at one
moment, and the next burst into the fury
Of tornado. She pushed off the be-
seeching hand, turned from the offered
endearments, and with Redeemed, tear
stained face, left the room.
Hugh presently passed through the hall.

DEATH OF A NOTED INDIAN CmEF.-An
Indian Chief called Okemos, died lately,
near Lansing, Michigan. He was suppo-
sed to be over one hundred years old. He
was in the wars of 1892. both for and
against Wayne and st. Clair at different
times. He had sabre cut clear across
his back, made by one of Mad Anthony
Wayns's troopers. At Fl. Meigs he re-
ceived wounds which left holes in his skull
into which three fingers could be laid.
The Lansing Republican, in speaking Of
his death, says;
A few months since. we travelled with
the old Chief from Holley Station to st.
Johns, and when asked for his ticket,
0kemos stuck a "pass" at the conductor.
who asked him ifhe was an editor. "No."
said 0kemos, with grest dignity, drawing
his blanket slowly about him, and straight
tening himself with q look Of disgust,
"Me big Chief-plenty fight once l' And
so, upon the strength of having made a
great fight on both sides, Okemos rode on
an American railroad, owned by john
Bull-free !
OF late years the favorite weapons Of
the old Chief have been the knife and
fork. the use Of which was one of his
more natural accomplishments. How one
mortal hide could be made to contain all
that he would swallow when invited to
dine is a problem to which the reel-in-
the-battle is not a cipher. His rule was
to stop when the fodder gave out.

RELICS OF THE PILGRIM FATHERs.-
Colonel Schouler, the editor of the Bos-
ton Atlas and Bee, visited Plymouth
Rock on the 22d of December, the ami
versary of the landing of the Pilgrims.
He saw there, in Pilgrim Hall. the barrel
Of the gun with which the celebrated In
dian Chief, King Philip. was shot, Theirs
is the sword. the old iron pot, and the tin
platters of Miles Standish. There is q
model Of the MayfOsrsr. There is a copy
Of Elliot's Indian Bible. There are por-
traits of the Winslows, and the large
picture by Sargent of The Landing Of
the Pilgrims" and there is a smaller one,
and one which, to rs, is more true to his
tory and more true to art. though It COW
ers less canvas, Of the landing Of the Pill
grims from the small boat, upon the rock.
In an ante-room, off from the main hall,
in glass case. is the original charter Of
the Plymouth Colony, granted by Oliver
Cromwell. The corner of the parchment
on which the name of the Protector L"
was inscribed had been torn of, doubtless
by some unprincipled collector of auto
graphs. He will never dare show it, for
then the thief would be discovered. The
torn corner has been pisced out by a paper
substitute. on which is written, in imita-
ton of the original, the name of Crom-
we'll. In front of the hall the upper
part of the Rock is placed, surrounded
aud guarded by an iron railing. Between
the railing on iron plates are the names
of the Pilgrims whose feet had hallowed
and immortalized the inanimate ground

There is singular suit on the docket
in the Court of Common Pleas in this
County, the like of which we do not re-

the absurdity of which is without paral-

years ago for breaking into and robbing
the house Of Joel Estabrook. one of our
most respectable citizens. Mace has serv.
