A Chinese Generals Strategy.

A very amusing story is told Of the
manner in which the Chinese comman-
der in Turkistan reconquered that
county from the Son of Heaven, On
the death of the famous Akalik Gnazi
sovereign to Turkistan, the Chinese Gov
ernment wrote to their general to raise
an army and go forth and conqner.-
The general replied that he could do
nothing without arms and money,
whereupon the Chinese Government
sent their general good round sum of
money and o number of European rifles
of the most improved manufacture, but
at the same time the general was eau
toned that If his troops lost or spoiled
these arms he would have to replace
them at his own expense. Whereupon
the Chinese General locked away the
rifles in the public arsenals, and armed
his troops with spears, sticks and bows
and arrows. Having thus disposed of
the new weapons the general turned his
thoughts toward the money. This he
divided into two parts-the one he sent
to a relative in Shanghai with instruc--
tions to invest it in the bank of the for
eign devils for his account. The other
half the general distributed among his
country's foes, provided their villages
were quietly surrendered. A series of
victories was then reported to Pekin,.
along with demand for more money

"To what, then do you attribute Mr..
Drlscoll's death ="
To poison. A careful examination
Of the organs revealed the presence Of
q fatal quantity of prussic acid, which
must have entered the stomach during
life as was clearly shown by its inflamed
condition."
AS suddenly as the belief in Volney
Kendall's guilt had sprung into being,
a new suspicion flashed on the minds of
all.
1t was true, then, that Seth Driscoll,
with rnin staring him in the face, and
his wards money to account for, had
taken his own life. And the shot
that must have been fired by Jonas
Wenlock on discovering his uncle's
dead body, and the evidence of suicide
afforded, most likely by the phial which
had contained the deadly draught. He
had thus hoped to secure the insurance
money, which would have been forfeit
ed by death self-inlicted. True, there
was no direct evidence of all this, but
none the less did every one believe it.
Everything seems cleared up but
the tracks and the pistol, +" said the coro-
ner when the doctor had concluded.
"And these it is my place to explain
Mr., Kendall having declined to do so,
out of delicacy toward myself" Inter-
rupted Kate Dunseth, fastening for
ward from whence she and Volney had
been holding an earnest colloquy for
the past five minutes.
My guardian had forbidden Mr..
Kendall the house; and the latter sent
me message requesting a secret inter-
view in the garden. The message mis-
carried-perhaps intercepted-and Vol
ney, Mr.. Kendall 1 mean-not finding
me at the place appointed, in returning
over the wall, accidentally left fall the
pistol which he carried for protection in
case of encountering o certain person
who was his deadly foe, and who always
went armed "-Here she cast wither-
ing glance at Jonas Wenlock who was
careful not to meet it.
The verdict of the jury was that the
deceased had come to his death from
poison administered by his own hand I;
and Volney Kendall went forth free
man. Kate Dunseth's fortune was ir-
retrievably lost, but it was not for that
that Volney had sought her love; and
he was q prouder man, the day he led
to the altar, at the thought that she
could have no doubt now that it was
herself and not her wealth that he had
wooed.
Jonas Wenlock never sued for the in
surance money.

An Adventure in the Southwest.

NTHEN 1 was quite young, my faith
w Fer went as a missionary to the
Indians who lived in what was known
as the Red River district. We made the
voyage down the river from st. Joseph,
Mo-, in two canoes, which were drawn
upon the shore for us to sleep in at night,
q bright fire being kindled in front of
them to keep off prowling animals.
In this way our little party consisting
of my father, mother, one older sister,
myself, and two boatmen journeyed to
the mission station. The station was
long, low, double building of logs, al
ready occupied by another missionary
named Mccoy. He had lived, until our
family came, without any other COM
panion but half breed Indian called
Tony.
Supplies were sent to this lonely spot
by the Board of Missions and other
friends from the States. These were
brought down the river in canoes, and
hauled up to the station on a rude sled
by yoke of stout oxen.
One day my father and Mccoy had
gone to the river for load of supplies
1t was days journey to the landing
and back. Tony had gone with them
No one was left at home but mother and
us two girls.
The day passed very pleasantly
Toward noon, as we were watching
mother about her work, my sister sud-
denly clapped her hands and cried out,
ooh, what a big dogl"
We turned to the door and my moth
er uttered cry of terror, for in the door
way there stood, not dog, but large
black bear.
He was probably drawn by the smell
of the sugar and molasses, for bears are
very fond of sweets. We were greatly
frightened, and could not leave the cab
in, because the animal was between us
and the door.
If we could have got to the ladder and
up the loft we might have escaped that
way but the barrels were in front of
the ladder, and SO was Bruin. There
was really no way of escape, so my
mother drew us two children close to
her, and took refuge behind the great
packing box, where she had been at
work, thus putting slight barrier 'be-
tween us and our unwelcome visitor
A barrel of crackers was open, and
we found out then that bears like crack
ers, for that fellow soon upset the barrel
and munched as many as he pleased,
while we looked helplessly on, and saw
our luxuries disappear.
But he was anxious to get at the sugar

paw and scratch at the sugar barrel,
which was not open, and which stoutly
resisted his efforts.
He grew angry, and, with fierce
growl, gave it a smashing blow with
his huge paw, and lifted his foot for an
other, when report from rifle sound
ed In our ears, and we heard the ping
of ball, just as Mr.. Bruin rolled,
huge, woolly heap, on the floor. The
sound of horses feet followed, and, as
my mother hurried out from her refuge,
our deliverer stood in the wide doorway.
He was stalwart Indian, with long
black hair streaming half yard down
his back, and scarlet blanket wrapped
around his strong limbs. We children
were almost as much afraid of him as of
the bear. But all the Indians who came
to the mission were friendly, and my
mother knew this one. He was Cher

means "The Running Wind"

My mother told him we were not hurt
and thanked him for shooting the bear,
in words which he could understand.
He he Bear much good meatl''
said Ma.shoon-tire. C Bear want eatee
up you. Now you eatee up bear.''
AT my mothers request he dragged
the huge carcass outside the door; but
when she told him it was his bear as lie
had shot it, he emphatically refused to
claim it.
My mother then gathered up pail
full of the scattered crackers and gave
them to Ma. shoon.tire, who, when he
learned their use, seemed to be as delight
ed with them as the bear had been. He
filled his capacious hunting pouch at his
side with them, and then began to ex-
anime the goods which my mother had
been taking out of the box when she
was interrupted by his bearship.
Among other things there were two or
three little cotton pocket handkerckifs,
printed with figures of cats and dogs
and large A-B-C's in bright red. They
had been sent to us children, but the
great Cherokee chief was so delighted
with them that my mother, grateful to
him for saving her from a great danger
gave him two of them.
He took them in great glee from my
sisters hand, tied one in his streaming
black hair, and the other to the end of
his rifle barrel and said, Sc Little papoose
makee Ma.shoon-tire fine Ma-shoon-
tire makee little papoose fine Big much
heap fine!" And taking from his
pouch long string of brilliant beads,
made of various colored glass, he threw
them over her neck, pleasing her al
most as much as the gay little handker-
chiefs had pleased him.
Then he went out to the bear and cut
the claws from one of his fore paws as a
trophy.
Having done this he bounded upon
his pony and rode gaily away, his hand
kerchief pennons fiuttering in the wind
and leaving our enemy slain upon the
ground.

gentle "good night" into loving hearts,
as members of family separate and re-

hasty words and thoughtless acts, en-

the day, are forever blotted out by its
benign influence. Small token, Indeed,

up the sum of a happy home. 1t is one

acres, they who live there are indeed
wealthy beyond mathematical calcula-

around the happy home. How much

their weary body in the care of divine
goodness, smoothing their over-taxed
minds to the living realities of beautiful

A Pathway of Flowers.

Stella was bright and handsome

Stella was welcomed everywhere, "was
such good company" and her plain little
sister Lucy, was cast quite in the shade
when she was present.
But Lucy was humble and did not
mind. She admired her pretty sister
along with the rest, and never thought
OF having any talents of her own. SO she
quietly sang the baby to sleep-he al

then she laid him down and mended
