tured t. the edge of the pond, in winter
or summer, had generally been fellows,
as has been intimated before, who had
been told never to 60 near it.
And so it happened that the pres
ence of this dismal piece of water made
people unwilling that their children
should go into the woods, for fear that
they might wander to the pond. And,
as they did not wish to do themselves
what they had forbidden to their chill
dren, they took their own rural walks
in others directions, and the woods, thus
getting bad name throughout that
country, gradually became quite lonely
and deserted.
At the time of our story there lived in
the town of DanfOrd q man named Cur
tbs Blake, who was well known on ac-
count of peculiar personal character
istic. He had no arms. He had been
q soldier and had lost them both in
battle.
Curtis was strong, well-made man,
and as he had q very good pair OF legs
left to him after the misfortunes of war,
he used them in going errands' aud in
doing anything by which walking could
be made useful and profitable. But, as
there was not much employment of this
kind to be- had, he frequently found
himself with great deal of time-not
on his hands exactly-but which he
could not advantageously employ. Con-
sequently he used to ramble about q
good deal in a purposeless sort of way,
and one summer afternoon he rambled
into the Danford woods.
He found it very cool and pleasant
here, and he could not help thinking
what pity it was that the towns-peo-
pie could not make a resort of these
woods, which were so convenient to the
town and so delightful in every way.
But, of course, he knew it would never
do for families, or for any one, in fact,
to frequent the vicinity of such dam
gerous piece of water as the Black Pond.
And, thinking of the Black Pond, he
walked on until he came to it and stood
upon its edge, gazing thoug htfully out
upon its smooth and sOmber surface.

self, "I'd 60 to work and find out just
how deep this pond is. I'd have boat

In this matter he has taken a position
which is wholly untenable in law and is a
blunder In policy. Whether he will ST.
lently retreat or bllndly push on in his
mistaken course remains to be seen. But
If he should persist in doing the latter the
result Is likely to be a rupture of the arbi-
tration agreement between Spain and the
United States, to be followed by an inter
national dispute, which can only threaten
the friendly relations between the two
Powers

of the Baltimore and Ohio depot. Six ar
rests were made-four players, John John
son, the principal and proprietor of the
establs hment, and Marcus Bell, writer.
Marcus Bell pleaded guilty to-day, and
was given choice between $50 fine and
60 days.
John johnson was arraigned and plead
not guilty.

played pretty much every day since the

luck. lie narrated several of his transac-

he had dreamt of horses and bet on what
is known as "horse row." combination
of five numbers, and similar to the nu-
merous rows we'll known to policy play

"horse row." "schoolhouse row." and
Others almost innumerable. "Horse
row." he testified, consisted of the num-
bers 4.6 S-16-50.44, and that he had been
very successful by playing it.
The testimony showed conclusively that
John johnson, the proprietor, had nothing
to do with the gambling, and was proba-

carriage had been seized by legal process
and by authority, and larceny was not
proved, although many held the opinion
that the seizure had been q crime cleverly
shielded by an ingenious Interpretation
of the laws.
The jury retired at $50 this afternoon
and twice came into court unable 20 agree.
The charge made by Judge Cox to the
jury left little doubt that verdict would
be found before evening, and the counsel
were determined the case should be closed
