EREBUS:
A Story Of the Wisconsin Fires.
BY MAX MARTINGALE.

Captain John Graham was smiling
in an Enthusiastically contemptuous
manner, as he stood in the door of
his great mill, that pleasant Sep
tcmber afternoon, and looked down
into the pale face of the young ply
sician who sat upon half-dressed
log beside him. And when he no.
ted the flush of pain which, for a
moment, drove the paleness from
that face, his features assumed a
more sarcastic expression, as he
spoke:
"Don't be fool, young man! If
you mast reflect and pout over this
matter, let your presumption in
coming to me on such an errand be
the subject Of your thoughts and
action"
"Captain Graham, you are unjust!
Am l child, that you should ad-
dress me thus?" The flush on the
young mans face did not diminish
while he thus replied, "What would
you have said if l had not come to
you and frankly avowed the rcla-
tions existing between your daught-
er and myself, while ! asked your
sanction Of our marriage at some
future day? You would have rated
me coward-as one totally unwor-
thy true woman's lovc-and right
ly. too. Still You are pleased to
call me presumptuous in the other
event."
81 am, sir. You exhibit an as
tonishing degree of assurance when
you come to me, asking my daught-
er's hand" was the frowning an
swer. "Young man, do you forget
that Helen is an only child? that it
has been the aim of all my past toll
to secure for her every luxury and
every benefit which wealth could
command? and, loving her as 1 do
anxious for her best interest as /
am-do you dream that I could see
her wed a poor man?"
The young man had sprung from
the log ere his companion ceased
speaking; but he waited for the fin
ishing, his handsome face aglow
with the indignant fire that ragged
within, and palms so tightly clench-
ed that crimson spots rose from he
meath the finger nails.
Captain Graham" and the ply
sician spoke in very low and Ia
bored tone, as though struggling to
subdue his emotion, "you are a
gray-haired man, and past the prime
of life, which tact enables you to
insult those less fortunate than your
self, without tie fear of retaliation,
even if the insulted were inclined
to reply in that strain. You have
insulted me repeatedly, but the time
will come when you will be glad to
seek my pardon. l did not demand
that your child should share my
present lite and home. lam aware,
sir, that my practice is not yet full
and well established-that, for the
time, my profession hardly more
than enables me to maintain a live
lihdod; but this is growing young

SIGN OF

AS the sign denotes, it is tru-
ly a Hat Store, both for Ladies
and Gents. Every person who
visits Independence is familiar
with Turner's Millinery and Fur
nishing Goods Store. Last spring
they added to their stock in the
shape of Gents Hats and Fur
nishing Goods, making it truly
a Hat Store. We say it land
without boasting), that we have
as large and as fine an assort-
ment as can be found in any
store of our class of goods west
of Chicago.
TO the Ladies (as usuaD, we
solicit a share of your patronage.
To the Gents-remember it is
truly, surely, and the only Hat
Store in the city. Our Facility
and Experience for purchasing
stock is second to none; expen-
ses small +; consequently our
prices we guarantee.

Lies Echoes.

1.-The echoes of our lives are ever coming back
upon u.s.
"There's the Echo Rock" said
Marsham, and as he spoke, he sent
a merry laugh across the meadows
that lay between us and the eleva-
ton.
"Not tone lost" said we.
"Send that laugh over again, Mar
sham"
Again, at our word, went his
ringing voice, cleaving the still air
like the tones of bell.
"The imitation is perfect" said
we. "Let us try this echo with a
different sound"
We sent a strong, CHEEKY shout
over the dreamy meadows, which
was echoed back from afar, and re-
echoed from the gray rocks which
lifted their heads above us.
Then the young man uttered 4
cry as Of one in suffering, and the
cry came back, only a sadder in
tone.
He then uttered some harsh Ian
guage, and the harsh language was
repeated in the fierce impulses of
sound.
"Sing, Marsham," said one of the
company.
Marsham's clear voice sent forth
tuneful cadence, full of emphasis
and expression, and echo took up
the strains, mingling them in such
harmony that it seemed like one
glad heart singing to another.
"What singular phenomenon"
remarked several.
'Let it be our instructor" said
the Judge.
"Will you point the moral?" we
asked.
eyes. First, as the echo speaks
to us, SO the world will speak. II
we speak to it cheerfully it will re-
ply in as cheerful a tone; if we ad-
dress it angrily, it will reply in an
ger; if there is hope, confidence
and good will in our voices, it will
answer hopefully in good will and
confidence.
"Second, the echoes Of our Hves
are ecer coming back mpon u.s. Is
it not, then, of vital moment in
what voices our lives speak? The
echoes that come to us from the
outside world are of small account
to those that come from our inner
life, to which we must listen when
alone by ourselves. These voices
do not die-memory is continually
sending them forth, awakening ech-
oes that fill our minds with gladness
or regret. These echoes are not
such unsubstantial things as come
back from the hills yonder. No, no,
my young friends!
"Third, if we live in cheerful
obedience to the will of Providence
we shall speak to the world cheer
fully, and it will answer us back in
a cheerful tone; we shall seek the
good of our neighbor, and our
neighbor's voice will be pleasant to
our ears.
"And, lastly, let us so live that
the echoes of our lives will be for
ever sweet.

Recently, in Alton, ILL.,, a man
while under the influence of dream
nearly killed his wife. Edward
Halkins, brakesman on the Chica-
60, Alton & St. Louis railroad, who
was newly married, had been doing
extra work, taking a sick friends
train in addition to his own, and so
had no sleep for forty-eight hours.
Naturally he was very tired when
he went home, and after going to
bed he soon fell asleep. The dream
he had, and its almost tragic termi-
nation, is thus described by an AL
ton newspaper:
"Again his foot was on his native
platform, and he heard the warming
toot Of the whistle for brakes. The
shadowy train bore swiftly on; the
telegraph poles fitted past, and the
whole country fled by like pano-
rama mounted ON sheet-lightning
rollers. In his dream he heard afar
off another roar, and swinging out
by the ratings, he saw another
train coming with lightning speed
around a curve. Both trains were
crowded with passengers; in anoth-
er moment they would rush together,
and from the piles Of ruin a cry Of
agony would shiver to the tingling
stars from the pallid lips of the
MANNED and dying. The engineer
had seen their danger, for at that
moment, in his dream, he heard the
whistle calling for brakes. With
the strength Of desperation he grip
ped the brake and whirled it round
there was a scream Of pain, and
Ed woke to find himself sitting up
in bed and holding his wife by the
ears, having almost twisted her
head off: That's how EDS wife
came to wear red flannel round her
throat and complain of a wry neck.
Gas mental, like physical diseas-
es, are contagious. We may conf
IDENTIFY expect sad increase Of
mortality among brakesmen's wives
occasioned by husbands decapita-
ting them under the impression that
they are brakes. 1t is likely that
brakesmen may find it difficult to
get married until after they have at
tanned oonductorships."

Not quite a month had passed
away since Captain Graham SO
coldly interviewed the young disci-
pie of Esculapias. October, with
it's golden brown and azure haze,
had come across the landscape, hill
and vale, meadow and woodland;-
and for many weeks the "wipdows
of heaven" had refused to open upon
the dry earth with cooling rains
The blue veil of Indian summer, us
it hung over the fields and woods OF
Northern Wisconsin, was noted as
it gradually merged into clouds Of
heavy, gray smoke, resting motion
less and dark in the air, and slowly
augmenting in proportions. The
halfsuffocating taint of burning
wood grew more and more percept-
ible as the days went by; and final
ly, the smoke-clouds hung thick and
wavering above the country, and
over Peshtigo in particular.
Still, no special alarm was ex-
pcrienced among the people, al
though the tinder-like forest nearly
sarrQNndad their homes. Annual
