as she ran swiftly after him, still leaning
against the gate post, and still looking
with that same strange expression on
his pale face, at the towers of Fernley
Court,
"Here, please. 1t isn't much, but it's
all I have to spare. Take 1t please"
He looked supposedly at her, and then
at the money.

He seemed amused at her eagcrness

watched her slim figure fitting away like
Esprit in the dust.
The next day Rose came into Bells

self to be under rare circumstances, her
gray eyes flashing, and her red lips part

She laid square monogrammed en-

"T'would be pity to have him drown
now!" growled Dick "Grcat heavens

Arthur, who had been watching the
boat and its occupant, threw off his coat
and his boots; and, before the detective
could lay hand on him, he had plunged
into the water, and was making with all
his might for the drowning man, Cary
could not swim, and when Arthur reached
him. he had come to. the surface the
second time. 1t required almost super
human strength to bring him in, but the
brave swimmer succeeded, and for a
moment Arthur lay painting and exhaust
ed beside the inanimate form he had
snatched from the water. A half an
hour later, the still unconscious young
man was borne to the college. Arthur,
forgetting that he was a prisoner, did all
in his power toward his enemy's rcstora-
ton. As they removed his coat, a large
Russia-leather pocket-book dropped to
the floor, and this Arthur took into his
own possession.
"You had better change your clothes
at once, Hoyt," a kind voice said, after
all had been done. Arthur turned and
saw the President.
'"All right, sir" said the young man,
presenting Carey's pocket-book. II was
afraid this might fall into improper
hands, sir. It seems very full of papers. "
II hope haven't wronged you, said
the President, with considerable feeling.
"Rather hope that you have, sir" said
Arthur, with smile; IF you have
wronged us, then we are innocent, you
know; but whatever the result, shall
always feel that you have acted accord
ing to'your best Judgment"
That evening, as Arthur, Dick and the
detective sat in their room, waiting for

was followed by the entrance Of the Pres

"Oficer,' he said, with trembling
voice, "you can go to the parlor, if you
please. These young men are not guilty,
therefore they require no guard"
II knew that afore," said the detective,
as he hastily left the room. !

4 Texan Desperate.

Bill Babb is p Texan of notoriety in
his own state. He is uneducated, bru-
tal bold, and ambitious. He began q
wild kind of frontier life ten years ago.
accumulated a great amount Of land
and cattle, gathered about him COM
pany Of desperadoes, and aspired to be
a despotic ruler in the neighborhood.
His reckiessness led the settlers for
years to submit to his rude government,
but recently the population increased,
and a few men presumed to dispute
Babb's authority. One of these was
Henry Vaughan, who opened a country
store in opposition to Babb's wishes,
and was killed by a party Of Babb's fol-
lowers. John Stull endeavored to bring
about an official investigation. Babb
realized that his party was in jeopardy,
and decided to make an example of
this rebel. Stull's house was fired in
the night, and three of the four inmates
murdered as they emerged. Mrs. Stull
escaped by hiding in bush, from
which she saw that Babb personally di-
rected the butchery. She subsequently
had him arrested. but a craven judge
released him on low bail. All this f.
nally reused the people, and they are
now hunting for Babb, meanwhile
hanging the members Of his gang as fast
as captured. -sr

a Periurer's Club.

Considerable excitement prevails in
New York City over the discovery that
there is in existence a club of men
whose sole object is to swear away life
and property wherever and whenever
they can. One Of the members will
trump up charge against some citizen,
and the other will swear black is white
for him. They have repeatedly had
men arrested, and in many instances
succeeded in having them sent up on
perjured evidence. A few days ago one
of them accused a prominent drv-goods
merchant of having assaulted HIM, and
several Of his fellows positively corro-
borated his story. They, however, gave
contradictory dates, and this fact led the
justices to investigate the whole affair.
Then the cat came out of the bag, and
one of them, being cornered, admitted
that the complainant and his witnesses
were members of the perjurer's club,
and that their object was. blackmail
They are Polish Jews, and one Of their
objects is to give perjured evidence for
such Of their creed as may get into
trouble. They tried to prove an alibi
in the case Of the Jewish incendi aries
who were recently sent to the, state
prison for life. ..-...e .s-..- ~.

Placing MOnnv in Colts.

In England, in 1876. twenty-one year.
lings were knocked down for $152,75O,
which, IN the two subsequent years, run
races amounting in value to $4,000.
The loss sustained by the purchasers,
leaving out of consideration interest
money and the expenses Of training,
was $62,75O. In 1877, twenty -one year
llngs were knocked down for $4,000,
ard the two-year- old races won by them
in 1873 were worth $4,000. Only one
of the twenty-one costly youngsters
Mr.. Swindelps Cadogan---is big with
promise. The others rank as common
place. The first favorite for the coming
Derby, Peter, was purchased as wear
ling for $1,750, and the third favorite,
Falmouth, was bought at the same age
for $500. The general average of the
gilded twenty one, it will be remember
ed, was trif1e over 81 900 each. Since
and inclusive Of the year 1881, the Der
by has been won nineteen times by pur-
chased yearlings, once by a purchased
two-year-old, and twenty-eight times by
yearlings bred by the gentlemen who
owned them when they started for the
blue ribbon on the course at EPSON.
Of the purchased yearliugs, Flying
Dutchman, Hermit and Seton sold for
$4,000 each; Surplice was included in
lot of horses sold by Lord George Bent
inck, Lord Lyon was rented from his
breeder, and Voltageur was knocked
down as two-year-old for $4,000. OF
the remaining fourteen purchased year
l'ngs, not one, excepting Galopin and
DOncaster, cost as much as $4,000. Lit
tie Wonder sold for 1926, and Andover
for $500. Musjd brought to his breed
er 81 600, and Macaroni $3.50. In the
autumn OF 1852 miserable, puny
brown fOal, akly foaled from it's dam,
was led into the ring at Barnby Moor,
upon the death of it's breeder, Mr.
Clark, 10y whom that ancient posting
house and hotel on the old North road
had long been kept. A ripple of
laughter ran round the yard when the
poor little mite was knocked down to

French and English.
Chambers, journal.

The fishermen on the coast of Sus-
sex and the opposite coast of France
often have occasion to change ciyilities
at sea. But how can they do SO, not
knowing each others language? Some
years ago we were told they got over
the difficulty without cost or trouble by
an exceedingly simple process. They
exchanged children. A Sussex man
took the son of Frenchman to board
for time in his family, and let the
Frenchman have his son In return. In
this accommodating way French fisher
boys learned English and English fisher
boys learned French. 1t was beauti-
ful arrangement throughout, for, be-
sides any advantage derived from linz

Beware of Spring.
Newark Advertiser.

The first sunshine of spring is deceit
full, and the draft of air pernicious.
One needs to be as carefully swathed in
flannel during the spring thaw as under
the permeatlng influence of an autumn
freeze. Changes Of temperature are
inslduous as they are sudden at this
season, and it behooves people with
lungs susceptible to atmospheric alter
nations to be most. careful indoors and
out; to wear garments appropriate TO
all seasons, never trusting to chance. A
needless person may throw upon over
taxed shoulders burden grevious to
be borne by inattention to these things
which only q perpetual consciousness of
facts could spare them. [ know an es-
Unable lady who, after three years of
constant care on the part Of friends,
terminated her frail life by a wilful de-
termination to take a sleigh-ride of a
few blocks. Her lungs, despite the
muffiing in rich fur, could not resist
the influx OF strong air; congestion en-
sued, and the home was broken. Life
is too brief and too precious for such
experiments; it Is aGod-given treasure,
which no one but coward and an idiot
will recklessly risk Or throw away.
Hence, it benOOves US to make the
most Of the immunities Of art and sci
ence which tend to prolong, to preserve,
or to embellish it, to so garnish the
temple in which the Creator has put
His soul to dwell, as to render it &C
Ceptable here or hereafter.

could distinguish was a promise to see
to Jamie, and when the old woman who
seemed to be nurse came up to admin
lister something, and in a half whisper
asked Edith to pray with them, he be-
gan to think he was in another world.
And it was another to him truly. Sure
ly she would never do that. But she
did. Kneeling upon the bare floor,
clasping her white hands, she sent up
such prayer for help and strength as
Arson Grey had never dreamed of

After that night Arson Grey knew
where his heart was, but for his life he
dared not approach Edith. She seemed
an 1mme asureable distance from such

her prayers as the one glimpse into

Not Symptoms, but the Disease.

It would seem to be truth appreciate by all.
and especially by professors of the healing art,
that to remove the disease, not to alleviate its
symptoms, should be the chief aim of medica-
ton. Yet in how many instances do we see this
truth admitted in theory, ignored in practice The
reason that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is sue
cessful in so many cases, with which remedies
previously tried were inadequate to cope. is attri-
butable to the fact that it is a medicine which
reaches and removes the causes Of the various
Ilialadies to which it. is adapted. Indigestion,
fever and ague, liver complaint, govt, rheuma
tsm, disorders of the bowels, urinary affections
rooted not by it. 1t goes to the fountain head 1t

endows the system with an amount of vigOr which

Pack in vessels which will impart no
impurities to the butter. Fill within
half an inch of the top. Place a thin
cloth wholly over the butter. Over that
pour cold brine as strong as can be made
Of hot water and the purest salt, or COW
er with a layer Of fine salt. The whole
process Of making the butter, from
drawing the milk to the placing of the
butter in packages, should be hurried,
as milk, cream and butter are going to
decay every moment when exposed to
the air, however pure it may be. Such
butter Is ready to keep or to sell. If to
be kept long before selling, surround
every package with coarse salt bv plac-
ing them in boxes prepared for the pur-
pose. This process keeps the butter
cool and hard, and free from sudden
changes of air. When all these things
are attended to promptly, and with as
much uniformity as is under the power
of man to control, there will be a near
approach to uniformity in color, rich
ness and purity. If the new beginner
follows these rules, and keeps doing
SO, he will soon command the highest
