NEW BLOOMFIELD, PA. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY a. Il

he is dead," she continued, between her
sobs.
Search for whom ?" cried Victor.
Barbara explained.
Indeed IL Is dreadful that / should
have been compelled to do such an
awful thing" she concluded, "but 1
could not well avoid 1t. Oh, 1 hope he
Is not dead.'
Evidently all of Barbaras courage
and fortitude had deserted her. The
thought that she had slain human
being, wicked creature though he was,
was terrible to her.
And she could only be satisfied by
Victor's going in search of Varcor, to
ascertain his condition, accompanied by
one of the detectives.
The other detective remained in the
library, guarding Valasquez. He kept
his hand on his revolver while the viii
lain sat cursing in vain, wild anger.
Victor and his companion had been
gone but a minute or two when the
great clock in the apartment adjoining
the library began to strike. 1t contin-
ued till it slowly rang out twelve strokes.
1t was midnight.
Scarcely had the last stroke of the
clock echoed out when there appeared at
the door of the library a woman. She
was Withholding creature, with long,
black hair, and dark, blazing eyes, and
had come from some where out of the
darkness. She stood still for moment,
and then advanced to the side of Valas-
quez, who, beholding her, grew even
paler than he had been before.
The detective thought she was mad,
and rising to his feet regarded her
closely.
Henri Valasquez," she exclaimed,
CT have come to announce to you that
the hour of doom is at thand.-Concluded
next week.

Barber's Signs.

In Europe the usual sign used by bar
bers is not the striped pole, but it is
one or more brass discs or dish
es, suspended over the street. The
origin of the use of these different signs
is not perhaps generally known. Until
the time of Louis XIV, in France, and
of George H., in England, the offices
of barber and surgeon were united. The
sign then used was the streaked pole,
with the basin suspended from it. The
former was to represent bandaged
wound and the latter a basin into which
the blood flowed. The barber after their
separation from the surgical profession,
appropriated the sign, apparently with
out appreciating the joke they were
playing upon themselves.

was puzzled. He didn't know anything
of either Hebrew, Greek or Latin him
self, but he was native of Wales and
thought they wouldn't know the differ
ence If he gave them little Welsh ev-
cry time. So he made Scripture quo
tation in his first sermon to them, and
said: "This passage, brethren, has been
slightly altered In the translation. 1t is
only in the original Hebrew that you
can grasp Its full meaning. 1 will read
1t to you In Hebrew, so that you may
comprehend it more exactly" and he
gave them the passage in very good
Welsh. They liked it first rate, and
presently he gave them some Welsh as
Greek, and then some more as Latin.
Then he was going to give them the
Chaldaic version in Welsh, when he
saw Welshman sitting by the door,
almost bursting with suppressed laugh
ter. The preacher didn't let on, but in
stead of the Welsh quotation he was GO
ing to give, said in Welsh, "For good
ness" sake, my friend, don't say word
about this till / have chance to talk
with you" The Welshman never told
on him, and the congregation, COM
pletely deceived. called him to be their
pastor.

A Strange Freak.

Walter p. Worrall, gave himself up as
vagrant in a New York police court,
on the oath of last December, and was
committed to the House of Correction.
He was set to work there as cook, and
he continued at this until last Sunday,
when he grew tired of his employment
and wrote to his attorney to have him
released. When his attorney called he
was astonished to find that Worrall had
been in the institution such length of
time, and he could not give any excuse
for his strange freak. He is worth at
least $50, 900, and his family are highly
respectable.

The Battle for the Cedars.
BY PREssLY W. MORRIS.
CONTINUED.

A GREAT and terrible dread filled her
"A soul, but she could only lie still and
await the end.
At length the carriage stopped. The
driver jumped down and fastened his
horse to tree. Then he went to the side
of the carriage, and, raising the curtains,
lifted Barbara out. He hurried away
with her in his arms, while no sound
save his tread broke the stillnes of the
night.
Directly, Barbara saw, standing out
against the sky, tall building, and she
comprehended that it was the stone
mansion which was justly her inherit
ance.
The man continued on till he stood
directly beneath the shadow of the
building with his burden. 1t was at
the extreme end of the east wing, an
other unoccupied portion of the great
mansion, and there was no probability
that any person would trouble him.
He ascended some stone steps, and push
ed against door that opened at his
touch. He entered and groped through
hall and up stairway. After that,
he proceeded some distance along anoth-
er hall. He stopped before door that
he could feel but not see, and laid his
burden down upon the floor. He reached
his hand in his pocket, and drew out a
heavy, rusty iron key. By his sense
of touch he inserted this in a lock and
turned it.
A door sprang open, and a lighted
apartment was displayed TO view. Into
this Barbara Lindsey was carried. The
door was closed, and then she was
unbound and the gag taken from her
mouth.
"Oh, spare me !" she cried to the
man. Release me from this prison!"
But the cruel face of Varcor, the slave,
for it was he, showed no pity. Without
a word he turned away from the plead
ing girl. He went out of the door, and
shutting 1t again, locked it. The shoot
ing of the bolt was like aknell of despair
to Barbara.
The room in which she was shut was
to all appearances very similar to the
one in which Lionel Cashel had been
thrown, in its strength and prison-like

The Five Silver Donkeys.

THE following was related to me by
L the Minister of foreign power, at
the Court of st. James.
A very wealthy man of the Hebrew
faith, finding himself near his end, call
ed bis five sons to his bedside and pre-
sented each with silver donkey, equip
ped with panniers, and said: "There
was a merchant travelling from Basira
to Bagdad with cargo of silk, but as
this, however, was not sufficient to fill
more than one of the panniers, he
balanced the burden by filling the other
with stones. AS he was journeying he
was over taken by wayfarer who fell
into conversation with him, and in the
course of it remarked, What fool you
must be-"
Very probably" was the reply, "but
in what particular ?"
"Why," said the other, "don't you
see that, if you were to distribute your
silk equally between the two panniers
and throw away your stones, you would
diminish your ass burden by one
halfp"
6 Very true" rejoined the other, "I
thank you for your wise counsel" and
forthwith the silk merchant threw his
stones out on the road, and distributed
the cargo in equal portions between the
two panniers. AS, however, they con-
tinued their journey, the merchant
remarked, 4" You are a very clever and
discerning person, but how is it that
you are in such evil case? Your clothes
are soiled and thread-bare, and you have
scarcely shoe to your foot"
"The truth is" was the reply, 4" am
an unfortunate man."
"Are you an unfortunate man Then
will go back and pick up my stones,"
which he accordingly did, and replaced
the silkin stdtu quo. 1t happened that
when he arrived at Bagdad he found
that the Caliph was building a new
palace, but was brought to standstill
for want of stones. So the merchant
sold his stones for more than he got for
his silk and returned rejoicing. Now my
sons, in presenting you each with the
silver donkey, wish to impress upon
you this maxim, "Never take the advice
of an unfortunate man.

DRIVING ACCIDENT.
In Town and In the g Country


On Sunday while two sons of Jacob w.
driving near Mount Joy, on their return
from the colorcd campmecting, one of tho
bolts which connect the shafts with the
running gears of tho carriage came out
and let the crOss-piecc Of the shafts fall
against the horses legs. The horse kick
ed furiously, breaking the front portion Of
the vehicle, throwing the boys out, break
ing the arm of one of them and badly bruis'
ing the other about the head. Having
kicked himself loose from tho carriage,
the horse made no further demonstration
not even attempting to run off. The boys,
aged respectively II and Is years, were
taken home and their injuries werc attend
ed to by DIR. John X. Bowers.
Yesterday afternoon about four O'Clock
Us the four-hOrse team Of Martin D. Funk
was passing the corner of West King and
Prince streets, one of the horses fell and
being cntangled in the harness could moi
regain his feet. He was unhitched, and
whiic tho wagon was being pushed away
from him he commenced kicking and strik
ing 4 tremendous blow with his irOn-clat
hoof, he broke Off the tongue of the Wagon
close to the hounds. No other damage wa:
done.
This morning about half past tcnl 'clocl
rs Casper Weber, baker, who was servin.
customers in East King street, attempted
to get into his wagon, his horse started
suddenly and Mr.. Weber was thrown t.
the ground between the horse and TIN
wagon and was dragged for a short dis
tancc, receiving some cuts and bruises OF
legs and arms.
