Claude Lavelette, for it was he who
looked down from the top tier that
night, had fed to his cave in the noun
tains, and burying himself in the vol
umes of his well-selected library, had
taught himself to write.
Carefully filling out the lines of a
blank, he concealed it within his hunt
ing shirt, and, mounting his champing
charger, sped for the ball. His rangers
followed him in a hack, engaged for
the purpose, armed to the teeth.

CHAT Eh I've
For days the fragile girl lay at the
point Of death, but care and a strong
constitution restored her, and in few
months she was able to set up in an
easy chair aud aecieve presents.
During the time the Chief had spent
days, and even nights, at his drug.
store, looking oyer accounts with his
clerk, and at last he discovered that he
was ruined.
He had speculated largely in Roch-
ellie salts and dissipated his fortune.
He could look for no assistance from
the rest OF his tribe, who were at war
with the whites and pretty generally
hard up.
But the old man was proud. The
blood of many generations of Sioux
ran in his veins, and it was hard for
him to give up.
Influenced by his wife he had con-
sented to give grand party in honor
of his daughters recovery, and the in
yitations were out.
On the evening appointed tie guests
! arrived hand-psinted in full evening
dress, and the crash of music and the
hum of conversation mingled with the
breath Of prairie followers through the
halls of the stately mansion.

Ia Toncha Sappee leaned forward
out of his box and scalped fiddler.
Sic semper soprano, he said, throw
ing the scalp to the heroine of the epe-
ra, who blushed, smiled, and put it in
her bosom, as the house rang with ap-
plause at the daring act.
The chief laughed slightly and
bowed his acknowledgements, while
the sweet aria, Dimi nea castle IL Gao
vanna bella di 0err5 arose like the per-
fume and came down like the stick.
Entranced by the music, Ia Toncha

CHAPTER VI.

Claude Lavelette went into the drug
business with his father-in-law. He
found an immense quantity of salts on
hand, but he was equal to the emer-
gency. Having influence at Washing
ton, he got a contract to furnish the
Rochelle salts to the American army
IN the field. Wealth began to pour in
upon him, and In about an hour and q
half he had restored his fathers shat
tered fortune. The fate of the army
was never known.
One night the Chief and Claude were
conversing upon their altered affairs,
when Ia Toncha Sappee asked about
the gas bill.
1T was forgery said Claude with
a smile; and his father blessed him
and took him to his bosom, for he rec.
ognized prize in son-1n-law who
could get a government contract and
forge q signature.

8 CHAPTER IL.

s Claude Lavelette was the son of rich
butsrespectable parents, and, having
been educated at Harvard, had early
developed taste for savage life. His
father had fitted him out with few of
his companions, to whom he had given
the name of the Jack. Rabbit rangers,
and thus equipped, he had made his
way to the Far West, and wound up
on the prairies of Northern Montana.
He had met the beautiful Shung-
wau-cau at . church sociable in the
village Where she lived, and her beau
ty had fascinated him. Nor was the
young girl Indifferent to the manly
charms destined to effect such an inn
preston on her after life. But Ia
Tonchee Sappee would not allow the
young man to- call, and he and the
Jack Rabbits had sworn to take her,.
AS the old Chief passed up the street
Claude swung himself upon the bal
cony and clasped the girl to his heart.
sI heard it ALL he whispered. But
fear not. I'll scoop the old guy yet.
And with this terrible threat he es-
capped as the servants approached.

BETTER DAYS TO COME.

The heart may bend with weight Of wo,
= And all the world looks drear,
While DER its careworn paths we go
With nothing bright to cheer;
Yet in the bosom ever dwells,
Though all things else are dumb,
A low, sweet voice. that whispering tells
OF better days to come.
Though mortal ills may to us cling,
Ard foul wrong silence right
Within the soul be fostering
Some hurt it hides from sight;
Still. lit by celestial spark
That glows through deepest gloom,
Revealing to our yearning eyes
The better days to come.
There is no evil that can slay
The faith beyond the grave;
There is no might to bar its way
The spirit dare not brave;
And. come what will to stay its wings,
That seek better home.
Within its depths the sweet voice sings
OF deathless days to come. s-

MAKING MONEY OUT OF PAN
CAKES.

CAKES.
The Belfast (Me.) Journal tells how
an enterprising woman is making
money there: cit is not on that arti-
Gle of diet made by our grandmOthers
that we are to speak, but pancake Of
less digestible nature manufactured
at the Belfast shoe factory. Nothing
in the shape of leather is allowed to
60. to waste in that institution. Even
the shavings from the sole leather have
their use, and from them the pancakes
are made. These shavings are placed
upon table before the operatives,
who separate and carefully spread
them out within small casting with
paste, in layers, like raisins in box
first leather, then paste, and the whole
patted down compactly. When cake
is completed, it is about one foot in
length, four inches wide, and half an
inch in thickness. They are then laid
away to dry, and in three or four days
are ready for use, which is to be cut
up into inner heel lifts. Their manu-
facture is not very pleasant job, IS
the girls who make them are up to
their elbows in paste. When the fac
tory first started, this work was given
to Alma House at four cents per cake.
She became SO expert that she could
easily make 100 per day. Being an
enterprising woman, and seeing money
ahead, she closed contract with the
proprietors for the sole manufacture
at four cents apiece, and then hired
help. To-day she has an apartment of
the sale-room,a and employs six women
who turn out from 300 to 400 day.

A Grand Keunion--Specch by Gen. Grant.
Decatur, Ills, Oct. Fully twenty
thousand people are in Decatur to-day
in attendance upon the third annual re-
union, including Gen. Grants old regi-
ment, the 2lst Illinois, with other veter-
ans. A large procession escorted the
general to the fair grounds. Gen. Jesse
NJ. Moore welcomed the ex-president in
An eloquent address.
Gen. Grant then spoke as follows:
Gentlemen: / feel much at loss to
soy anything further than to extend my
thanks to all Of you for your very cor
dial reception accorded to me to-day and
accorded as understand it to be, by the
regiment command that has been said
has been so far and 80 much personal to
myself that it would be impossible for
me to say anything in regard. to it except
to deny it. Laughter. In regard to
some remarks that have been made by
the gentleman delivering tho welcoming
address and particularly all striving to
rival each other in prosperity in devel-
oping their relative sections and uphold
ing one common flag, one common instl-
tuition, that OF freedom, that relates to
all without regard to color, religion OF
nation. Cheers. Some way or other
that result is to work out, how don't
exactly see, but that it will be worked
out some wav, am perfectly confident
and the day will come. when we will hear
nothing about sections, but we will strive
to rival each other as good citizens in
upholding the common flag of our un,
ion.
Gen. Logan then spoke, after which
the veterans and the crowd of visitors
sat down to hard tack dinner.

FOREIGN CROPS AND MARKETS.

London, Oct. 5.-The Mark Lane Ex-
press says: During the past week
the weather has been mostly
for securing the remainder of the out.
standing grain. It must be two or three
months before the English wheats are
in condition favorable for thrashing.
This and the disappointing nature of the
yield have made holders confident of an
immediate future rise. The market
closed firm Friday with an advance OF l
shilling per quarter on Mondays rates.
The leading provincial markets were
very firm at the close, partly in conse-
quence of the demand for sowing, and
there was an advance in some in
stances of 2 shillings per quarter.
Trade, though firm at enhanced
rates was not active, though the actual
imports are similar. The larger millers,
aware of the large available extrenuous
supply, confine their operations to pres
ent needs. On Friday foreign old red
winters and fine whites advanced shil-
ling per quarter and other sorts pence
to 10 pence. Maize and round corn were
l shilling higher in the week, mixed
American closed at % shillings and
pence. English barley is in small sup.
ply and the demand nominal. Oats is in
fair demand and slightly dearer. Flour
advanced pence per sack and closed
firm. The sales of English wheat for the
past week were 1896 quarters at 40 shil.
lings per quarter, against 15, ,162 quarters
at AZ shillings and l pence per quarter
for the corresponding week Of last year
The imports to the United Kingdom 70,
the week ending September 25th were l.,
301, ,788 hundred weights Of wheat anG
230, TAG hundred weights of flour.

the Hon. Jno. b. Haskin, New York
Ny Dear Sir:-Your favor of the 18th

spread effort to make my name promi-
nent in that connection. think the
matter is more spontaneous than direct
ed: How deep It may be will be told
better in the future. It has arisen, no
doubt, from the fact that Gen. Grant is
apparently the candidate Of the
radicals, and probably my action
as the commander OF southern
military district may have had
its share. lam anxious that the conser-
vative element should triumph over
radicalism. I have no ambition to he

one else who can win be nominated. Ny

matter of curious embarrassment, hav-

which would have been thrown aside and

him not to appoint to Office any men who
had been removed, and to give me his
reasons, by mail, for removing the men.
He telegraphed in long reply, costing
the government $3.50, his response. I
telegraphed him that the reasons were
not sufficient; to send by mail other rea-
sons. He again telegraphed about the
same points, only not quite so long, cost
ing $3.50. He telegraphed that if he
could not have freedom to act, his use-
fulness would be destroyed, and that he
would have to be asked to be relieved.
| telegraphed him to revoke his order.
He asked johnson to relieve him, as no
one else could. That is the inner history
and spirit of his celebrated order No. 40.
This order resulted in the loss of many
lives. I know of cases and can give them.
His statement that the civil authorities
are supreme is truth admitted by all in
times of established peace; but I can
demonstrate that he did not subject the
military power to the civil, but that he
used his military power to overthrow the
civil"
