Not yet, Oracle, do you find him. He
will be proved at last true hero WORTHY
of the honor of men.
The light-keeper watched Oracle as
she turned to go into the house, and he
sighed, and said sadly to his wife:
There's something On the lads mind
wife"
And the mothers anxious heart un-
derstood the fathers words. Both knew
too well what had come over the mind OF
their Percy, and that it depended on
Oracle alone whether that burden should
be lightened, or whether the future
should be harder and darker than the
past.
So weeks passed away, and at last
Oracle thought she had found her hero
in Mr.. Hopkins. She was not certain,
not even when he asked her one day to
become his wife and held in hand a
ring, which he asked if he might slip on
her finger to the seal of promised bond.
" Not yet, Mr.. Hopkins. Please don't
ask me tonight, F" said Oracle, and she
turned and went into the house.
She could not sleep. Few even in the
tower were to sleep, for the wind was
rising and blowing violently. Many
brave man was to meet his death that
night.
The light-keeper had hero's work to
do, for through some accident, the oil
was nearly all gone, and he must hold up
his weary arms and burned hands all
night that the torches might be a
guide to those who had met the storm at
sea.
There was work for Percy to do.
Strange that when at last Oracle sank
into troubled sleep, she should dream,
not of Mr.. Hopkins, with his gentle,
manly manners, and handsome face, but
OF the poor cripple Percy Smith.
Percy went down on the shore, and
waited for call of aid. In a little
while there was need enough for all the
assistance they could render. Not man
in the village was idle-the women stood
in groups on the shore, or working with
strong hand and will when there was
something to do. Among them was
Oracle watching with strained eyes two
figures far out On the water. She knew
them both, the lawyers son and Percy
Smith. Could they reach the shore
Both were tired, and the cripple, used as
he was to the water, could scarcely have
much strength left.
Fred. Hopkins was the first to give out.
Grace saw him sink, for a moment only,
and when he rose again Percy supported
him. After an agony of watching, the
two apparently lifeless, were drawn
ashore.
Then as the eastern sky turned red
with light, and the light-keeper and his
wife left their post and came down on
the shore.
Fred. Hopkins slowly came back to
consciousness, but all the care of the
tisher-wives, all the prayers and tears of
his parents brought no signs of life to
Percy Smith.
He had given his life for others. And
though both had proved themselves
worthy of honor, Oracle knew that Percy
was her hero.

A Monkey Story.

One of the hest monkey stories we
have seen is contained in London Nature.
A brave, active, intelligent terrier, be-
longing to lady, one day discovered a
monkey belonging to an itinerant organ
grinder, seated upon bank within the
grounds, and at once made dash for
him. The monkey, who was attired in
jacket and hat, awaited the onset with
such undisturbed tranquility that the
dog halted within a few feet of him to
reconnoiter. Both animals took long,
steady gaze at each other, but the dog
evidently was recovering from his sur
prise, and about to make spring for the
intruder. At this critical juncture the
monkey, who had remained perfectly
quiet hitherto, raised his paw and grace
fully saluted by lifting his hat. The eff
feet was magical; the dogs head and
tail dropped, and he sneaked off and en-
tered the house, refusing to leave it
until he was satisfied that his polite but
mysterious guest had departed. His
whole demeanor showed plainly that he
felt the monkey was somewhat Gun
canny," and not to be meddled with.

ATrnnouiI NERVOUS system

Can never be possessed by those whose
digestive and assimilative organs are In a
state OF chronic disorder. Weak stom-
achs make weak nerves. To restore vigor
and uuietude to the latter, the first must
be inyigorated and regulated. The ordina-
~ sedatiYes may trauquilize the nerves
for while, but they can never, ike
Hostetter's Stomach Btters, remove the
causes of nervous debility. That superb
invigorant and corrective of disordered
conditions OF the alimentary organs has
also the effect OF imparting tone to the
nerves The delicate tissues of which they
are constituted, when weakened in con-
sequence Of impoverishment of the blood,
resulting from imperfect digestion and
assimilation, draw strength from the fund
OF vitality developed in the system by the
Bitters, which imparts the required i'm
petus to the nutrltive functions Of the

gives tone and regularity to the secretive

earth, when thoroughly mixed with the

it rushes through these sluices, the gold,
on account of its gravity, falls in these

HE RESULT OF FREIGHT DIS
CRIMINATION.
The New Pipe Line to P"rkersburs,

The New Pipe Line to Parkersburg,
ParKersburg Sentinel.
On Thursday the West Virginia Trans
portation company commenced laying 3
pipe line from Volcano to Parkersburg.
The necessary right OF way has been
secured over the whole route, and the
laying OF the line will be pushed to an
early completion. This enterprise will
be Of great benefit to our people, as it will
cause an outlay of about sixty thousand
dollars in cash in our midst during this
GUNNER.
The determination on the part of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad TO force the
oil men TO pay exorbitant freight rates
on the transportation of their oil to
Parkersburg is the cause OF this new line,
and when 1t is completed it will forever
end the transportation Of oil over the
railroads to this place. Last winter when
the b. & q. advanced rates the oil men
used all possible endeayOrs TO secure q
reduction of rates to figure that would
be both fair and remuneTative to the
Railroad company, but all efforts in that
uTeCLlOl "tTS IT ulklcsh atIN IuS pAONNSCIs
Immediately began sending their oil to
market through the pipes to Bull Greek
and thence by witer.
When this line IS completed oil will be
delivered in Parkersburg for 40 cents
per barrel, or less, from Volcano, al
though before the line was COMMENCED the
producers were willing TO pay 65 cents.
Since the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
advanced rates over 35, 900 barrels have
been shipped by the pipe line. The oil
men are now Indifferent to any action
the Baltimore and Ohio road may take in
the matter, as they have cheaper, safer
and quicker rolte to market. They would
not pay more than 10 cents per barrel to
the railroad, and don't care TO ship at
that rate. The effort made 10 gouge the
oil men By the railroad has fallen far
short of the intention. The citizens OF
Volcano are full of enterprise and pluck,
and any subterfuge TO hold them down or
make them pay tribute always meets
with about the same measure OF success
that attended this effort by the railroad
company.
