CHAPTER II.
JACK HAWKINS.

Mr.. Miles family consisted of his
wife, two sons ard daughter, who
went by the name of ''Pinkcy." Mrs.
Miles was gOod-natured, mOtherly
dame, who was at home only with cows
and poultry.
The sons were robust young men
who had inherited their fathers consti-
tuition and their mothers good nature
Each. to use his own expression, was
| as strong as an OK"
There is no more beautiful specimen
of Gods handiwOrk than the hardy
sons of the soil whom we find in the
rural districts. 1t is these same farm
ers' sons of the soil who not only fur
nish the muscle of our country, but the
largest amount of brains.
1t is these robust farm lads who
make our Legislators, our Governors
and Presidents. We ask the reader

The morning after Walter Brown

was aroused at early dawn by John
Miles nudging him in the side, saying:
ut is about time farm men were up.
We must git out and feed"
''You mean go to breakfast?' asked
Walter, rubbing his eyes sleepily. and
contrasting this. early rising with the
pleasant morning nap he was permitted
to take in the city.

tone of some contempt. '.D'ye 'spose
we people in the country do nothin'
but eat. No, sir, we must git out an
feed the hogs, horses. cattle and sheep
afore breakfast. Wen be late about it;
l assure you," added John, rather
snappishly. ''Ben's been gone for an
hour or more"
Walter crawled from the warm bed
shivering with cold-for the first au-
tumn frost had fallen during the night
wishing that he could have got half
an hour more sleep.
Seeing that John regarded him some
what CONTEMPORARY, he hurried on
the farmer costume. and went out.
There was haying cattle. measuring
and carrying to each horse his rations
of oats, feeding the green fodder to
the sheep in the pasture, of which
Walter had his due share assigned him.
He felt little timid as the cattle
with long sharp horns ran after him,
while scattering the hay, but his de-
termined will Overcame his terror, and
he got through the feeding with credit
to himself.
Breakfast was announced, and he ac-
companied the boys to the rear yard.
where there was a well, some wash
basins and a towel hanging on the out
side wall.
This was strange place for one to
perform his morning ablutions and ar
range his toilet, but he found it not I'M
pleasant, and supposed it was health |
inspiring. They drew the cold. spark

ceeded to wash his face, head and

Walter followed their example and

on the outside wall. by and with which |

FARMER THREATENED WITH DEATH FOR
PROTECTING HIS PROPERTY.
Two years ago Andrew Behrendt leased his
three farms near Chiiiecothe, No., and went to
Arkansas. A month since he learned that his
property was being badly managed, and return
ing he found affairs as represented, and at once
commenced suit for damages. Soon after the
suits were instituted Mr.. Behrendt was notified
that unless they were Withdrawn he would be
severely dealt with. Last Saturday night Beh-
rendt and his family were awakened by voices
around his house. Going to a window he dis
covered the house surrounded by a mob OF
masked men, who demanded Ambulance, or
that he come out before they burned the house.
Benrendt refused to comply, whereupon the
mob burst open the door. One of the mob car
ried half-inch rope fifty feet in length. A
moose was made and the rope placed around
Behrendts neck. He and his family pleaded
for their lives. The mob finally released him,
with warning that it he did not leave the
country within ten days they would kill him.
Saturday evening Behrendt arrived at Chilli
cothe and made complaints to the proper au-
thorities, who at once issued warrants for eight
or ten members OF the mob, who were recog-
nized by the injured man.

AN EX-WALL STREET BROKER THINKS IT CAP.
ABLE OF GREAT POSSIBILITIES.
Charles Dawborn, formerly Wall street
broker, now Spiritualist lecturer and mem.
Der OF the association now in session in Louis
willie, KY, said Saturday: 81 am inclined to be
sceptical. For eighteen months sat alone for
an hour in my darkened room and underwent
wonderful experiences with powers could not
explain, but was not convinced. My arm would
grow cold and move involuntarily. One day
sat in my office with my arm on the table when
strange feeling came over it, and my hand
wrote OF itself: you are being robbed 1t was
so. Later was in the lumber business. My
hand wrote one day at Quebec: Go TO Mon
treal.' went, and led by an irresistible in.
fluence demanded that cargo of lumber we
lad ready to start be branded again. 1t was q
risk of 80, $40 damage for delay il nothing was
wrong. The lumber had been branded one
grade too high all around, and saved my COM
pany S2O.OGO, and the government official, who
had been bribed by the mill-o wners, had to pay
the expenses. Spiritualisin is a science, not a
religion, and l believe it has great possible
ties"
Mr.. Dawborn's belief that spiritualism is a
science antagonizes many mediums and other
believers. He created a sensation last night by
attacking from the rostrum the frauds and in-
consstencies of alleged spiritua.ists.
