day, weary woman leaned back In
her chair, and pressed her fingers
against the eyes that refused longer to
see the stitches in the shop work over
which she had toiled from day-b1eak
till now four o'clock in the afternoon.
From the street far below her, a
voice had only that moment scared
upward, calling, "Strawberr- ees ripe,

And, as if by magic, her thoughts
turning backward he'd carried her to
Depdene, the home of her youth, and
to certain lovely June day in her
sixteenth year, when she had stood in
the strawberry pasture on the Blessing
Farm, with the red berries pertaining
the air, and said the words which sew
cred her fate from that of Maurice
Blessing, and made her life what it
was on this day, almost hopeless and
ceaseless struggle for bread won al

How it all rose up before her! The
green pasture sloping upward to the
darker green woods, whose tops seemed
to touch the deep blue sky, sloping
downward to the gray stone wall,
with the cold spring leaping out
through a wooden trough among its
lower stones.
And below the wsll-"the thirty acre
moving" spread out like an immense
emerald velvet carpet, with the two
story cream colored house lifting its
piazzaed front at the extreme end Just
where the shaded lane began, and led
from the Blessing farm out into the
village road.
"She, the poor orphan girl, had been

by one publisher after another, was

Chapter I. The first time George
and Mary met at Mrs. Dixon's garden
party at Putney. An old gentleman
was fishing. All she said was: "He
doesn't seem to be catching any fish,
George only answered: True happi-
ness lies in anticipation" She thought
he must have an original mind. and
secretly loved him. Chapter III. Their
next meeting was at the same place
under the same circumstances. The
same old gentleman was fishing. He
doesn't seem to be catching any fish,"
said George, True happiness lies in
anticipation" said Mary. What an
original mind" thought George, and
he fell in love with her. They are
now married.

pssperado,s Death.

Moses Silk has been killed at Fort
Spunky, in the Indian Territory. Silk
was drunk and was firing revolver
unfortunately, when Sheriff Taylor
attempted to take the weapon, but Silk
threw him down and threatened to kill
him. Taylor rose and walked away,
but returned presently and shot Silk in
back, and, as the latter turned, shot
him again in the breast. Silk staggered
and seemed blinded, as he fred at a
Choctaw Indian, who was seated on
stump, eating lunch. snd taking no
part in the affray. The Indian was
shot through the hat. He leveled his
shotgun at Silk and fred both barrels
loaded with bird shot, into his
stomach.
Silk now walked up to Taylor and
said:
"Taylor, you have killed me, but I
want to make friends before I die"
AS he spoke he seized the sheriff,
and attempted to kill him as he held
him in his arms. He drew one Of the
sheriff's pistols from his belt, and shot
the officer once, when two of Taylor's
friends came to his aid, and lodged two
balls in the side of his assailant. Silk
oosened his hold, walked backward q
few steps, and exclaiming, "You have
killed me this time, sure, fell on the
ground, and died without a struggle.
He had been shot six times. and was
literally riddled with lead. Silk was
one Of the most noted despAradoes in
the Indian nation, and had long been a
terror to the people Of Fort Spunky-a
little village on the line OF the new
railroad. He is credited with having
killed five men and with having been
accessory to numberless murders.

~ the death OF Loco the royal family
Of Mangas Colorado haa;become extinct,
and the Apache nation is virtually with
out legitimate leader. Mangas Colo
rado (ssRed SIeevesDl was the greatest
chief the nation. ever had. He exacted
tribute from the White Mountain, Gila,
Sierra Madre, Mescalero, Tonto, Coy
otero, Miembres, Jornada and JicarilIa
tribes. and was able. in his war with the
California column under General Jas.
III. Carleton, to collect 1000 warriors
together in one day by means OF signal
smokes, as he did at Apache pass. He
was captured in 1866 by Major William
MeCleave, now of the Eighth cavalry,
at Red Dog canon, Arizona, and shot.
He left two sons-Chee and Chosito-
but in their minority the success
sion fell to his brother Oochise. In the
meantime General Carleton had con-
quered the nation. and divided il by
tribes, placing each uponEa different res
rvation. Cochise remained in Arizona,
while Loco, his first cousin, was re-
moved to Fort Tnlerosa, New Mexico.
Here he devoted himselfto Iove-making
and to poker-which latter accomplish
ment he acquired from an officer in the
Eighth cavalry land popuIarized himself
with his tribe. In 1875 Chez was
fatally stabbed By brother Apache.
and in 1857 Chosito was killed while the
nation was on one of its annual izEin
drunks. This left Loco in absolute
power in New Mexico, and when, two
months later, Cochise died of consump-
ton on the Gila, he was duly acknowl-
edged as the head Of the entire nation.
Up to this time he had been such
lover of women, peace and
draw-poker that the older braves looked
on him with ilI-concealed contempt, and
it was during these years that be won the
soubriquet Loco" which is Mexican
word signifying fool" ALI raids were
conducted by Victoria, while Loco
played penny ante on the reservation.
On the death of Cochise, how
ever, he showed the nation that
he was Loco only in name,
and that he could organize and lead
scalping party with as much skill as he
could draw to bob-tail flush. From
that day forward he gave both the
United States troops and the authoTi-
ties Of Sonora and chihuahua, Mexico,
an immense deal Of trouble, and his
death is a blessing to the entire region.
Loco was about five feet seven inches
in height, and weighed 23O pounds. He
had an immense head, was slightly
bow-legged, and was possessed of an
open, intelligent and agreeable coun-
tenance. His manner was courteous
and dignided, and he was quite fond
of joke. Once, being given a burn
ing glass, he amused himself the entire
day by drawing the suns rays to TO-
Gus on the backs Of his wives Is they
sat at work, and was immensely tickled
at their sudden gymnastics and howls.
On another occasion, suspecting his
mother-in-law Of using his cigarette
tobacco for snuff, he loaded it with
cayenne pepper, and the old lsdynearly
sneeged her head off. while Loco rolled
on the ground in an agony of mirth.
Scattered as they are, it is no longer
possible now for the Apaches to elect
head, and as the royal succession has
expired, they viii probably go to pieces
as nation, which win be an excellent
thing for the entire frontier.-N York

A Vienna correspondent gives an in
teresting account Of the insurgents Ii
the southern provinces Of Anstria-the
Herzegovinians and Crivoscians. The
writer says: Itappears that the SO called
insurgents are really savages, and their
barbarian is well illustrated BY some
instances which have come to my
knowledge. A Orivoscian prisoner
wounded and in an emsgiIted
condition. was lying
trate on the ground and begging fol
water. A young soldier ran to a well
and brought him some, and as the. in
surgent seemed too weak TO sit up and
drink, he supported him with one hand
and held the cup to his lips with the
other. The picture of the Good Sa-
maritan, you will say. Well, it changed
soon enough. Apparently too feeble 60
move the Crivoscian managed to get at
his dagger, hidden in the folds Of his
belt, and while he was drinking
stabbed the soldier near the heart. The
poor young fellow died that same
night. Such instances OF barbarous
warfare occursdaily. We cannot there
fore be surprised to hear that the
troops, when they do catch an in
surgent, hang him before listening
to what he may have to say
for himself. But catching him is not
an easy matter, as the CriYoscians and
Herzegovinians hide behind The enor-
nous boulders of rock scattered every
where upon their mountains, and from
safe height fire upon the soldiers in
the narrow pass below. The troops
Immediately receive orders to climb to
where they must suppose the enemy
lies hidden. While climbing the noun
tain the poor soldiers afford excellent
targets for the insurgents aim, and as
soon as they are close enough to fire il

such rapidity that the soldiers must
give up pursuing them almost imme
diately.

Austrian army. The sixth was pardoned

Opinions of LandLeasuers.

CHICAGO, May 7.-The leading members of the Irish American club and members of the Land League deprecate the act of the assas. sination of Lord Cavendish and Under Sec retary Burke, and say it will be an irrepara- ble injury to the Irish cause.
 NEW YORK, May 7.--Various branches of the Land League held largely attended meet lngs tonight at which prominent speakers denounced the assassination of Cavendish and Burke as foul deed asserting that it was not the deed of the Land League or any people connected with it or nationalists, claiming Irish landlords as the authors of the act arguing that if the Irish people wanted to murder anyone they would have done away with Forster, who they claimed was the greatest living tyrant Ireland ever saw. Res olutions were adopted condemning the as. sass1nation of Cavendlsh and Burke in the most emphatic language, expressing deep re- gret that such foul murder had been com mitted more particularly as it had been &C., cepted almost as fact that the question of British tyranny toward Ireland had been set tied and that peace and plenty was about to dawn upon that down trodden people.
 PHILADELPHIA Penn, May "A number of Land Leagues held special meetings to- night and adopted resolutions condemning the assassination of Lord Cavendish and Un der Secretary Burke and disclaining for the cause any responsibility for them.
 LOWELL, Mass, May 7.-The Irish Land League at their meeting discussed the assas- sination in Dublin. A resolution offered for the appointment of committee to draft res olutions condemnatory of the foul deed was opposed on the ground that further par ticulars should be awaited. The resolution was defeated by vote of 43 to 36, where upon Humphrey O'Sullivan, president of the league, resigned. John Warren was elected president. Those favoring the resolution will withdraw from the league. The most intelligent Irishmen in the city are outspoken in condemnation of the murder and deplore it's probable effect
