way that indicated that Mrs. Grimsted's nights
were filed with something else than music.
Jasmin had anticipated the opportunity that
now presented itself, though it had come sooner
than she had hoped for. All the stables were
occupied by the troopers horses, and stable
guard stood around bright fire built in front
of them. But her own favorite saddle mare had
been roaming around and back of the house
during the day, and was still there. Jasmin
had slipped out in the darkness, found her,
and catching her by the name had brought her
to the back porch without attracting the notice
of Barnards men in the front yard. With
equal noiseesSness she and Aunt Merry had
sadded and bridled the animal, and removing
their shoes they stole back to watch the in
mates of the sitting room. The portly Mrs.
Sutton's nerves were VIGOROUSLY uncertain in
emergencies, she had been allowed to sink
into the siumber of the just and fat. They
watched Grimsted struggle with his drowsiness
and finally yield to it, recover and yield again,
and then when he gave himself over to it un-
reservedly they stole into the room as noise
lessly as spirits, lifted the sleeping Gannaway
in their stout arms. and bore him to the door.
He began to arouse as the cold air struck him.
A sharp pinch from Jasmin awakened his senses
so that he comprehended her order TO get into
the saddle, and did SO with the assistance OF the
women after several attempts. Replacing her
shoes, Jasmin led the mare through a long
arbOr OF Srape-VineS down 10 the emu OF the
garden Enclosure, laid down the fence between
that and the orchard, and Gannaway who was
by this time thoroughly awake, understood her
directions to follow the shadow of the trees
until the end of the orchard would put him
past all likelihood of discovery from those in
front of the house. The mares hoOfs fell noise
Iessly on the matted grass i'll the orchard as she
moved away, and Jasmin, after watching him
for an instant, ran back through the arbor to
the porch where Aunt Merry was waiting
"One O. those Yankee sojers hez been stan'in'
theh by the smoke-house a-watchin' yo' the
hull time, Missey," said Aunt Merry, in q
whisper as Jasmin came back to the porch.
A." At fust / th0t he was smellin' round for
hams an shoulders, but he haint gone a-nigh
the do O. the smoke house"
As Jasmin looked the man began to move
away, and she recognized the form and port of
Charles Barnard.
She and Aunt Merry again removed their
shoes and fastened to their rooms. They had
reached them when a movement of
Grimsteds left-hand sent his saber and re-
volver ringing and Gathering Oh the solid
hearthstone He awakened instantly, and
sprang up with terrible apprehension When
his eyes opened the first thing they sought was
Gannaways pallet-and it was empty.
Grimsted snatched up his revolver, and run
ming to the door fired it, calling out at the same
time to the guards that the prisoner mad es-
capped.

Get Ready.
boston Herald.1

Some alarm is expressed by the editor of
Charleston rs. CO. newspaper lest the final con-
fagration, which, according to scriptural pre-
dictions is destined to consume the world, is
on the point of taking place. Within the past
year what is known as natural gas" which
was formerly regarded merely as q curiosity,
has come into very general use for illuminating
and other purposes in Pennsylvania. Gas wells
are being bored in every direction, and mains
are being laid to convey the fluid through the
towns. Already disasters have occurred. Wells
in the neighborhood of Murraysville caught fire
the other day, and great destruction of life and
property resulted. Such little affairs may not
be of very much Importance in themselves but
do they not suggest the possibility of disaster
infinitely worse? Suppose that the great reser-
voirs of gas which are believed to exist in the
bowels of the earth should become ignited.
Might not the sea be dried up, the mountains
hurled from their foundations and the very
earth blown 10 fragments-converted, so to
speak, into decillions of incendiary rockets for
extending the confagratiOn 70 the rest of the
universe? 1t is awful to think that the final
destruction of the world might be caused by
the imprudence of a single human being who
chose to bore his gas well particularly deep.
No modern EratOStratuS would care to set the
earth on fire in order to obtain for himself i'm
mortality. 4 man in California is said to have
committed suicide a few years ago because he
feared that he was destined, if he lived, TO
bring about the ultimate catastrophe. He had
discovered an agent that would transform
water into fire, and, having tried it on wells
and ponds, he WAS so Impressed with the
dreadful consequences that would ensue if he
should be tempted to try it on the ocean or TO
impart the secret to others, through whose in
sanity or careleSsneSs this destructive agent
might reach the ocean, that he killed himself
ut once in order that the terrible secret might
die with him.

Protecting Their Rights.

PROBABLY no concern in the country has adj
hered more strictly to the determination to
achieve success by the liberal use Of printers
ink than has the Brown Chemical Company Of
Baltimore, Md. Starting business about five
years ago they have expended over S, 800, GOO
in the preparation and circulation of printed
matter, more than half Of which has been paid
for newspaper advertising. All this has been
done TO make known the virtues Of their cele-
brated Browns Iron Bitters.
As might be expected, very large sales have
resulted from this enormous outlay. In fact,
Browns Iron Bitters IS about as staple in many
drug stores as is -four at the corner grocery.
Like all good things, Browns Iron Btters has
been largely initiated. There are INSCRIPTIONS
manufacturers who cater to just this sort Of
trade, and some dealers are 50 lacking in prin-
ciple, that because greater profit can be made
on fraudulent than on genuine medicines, they
are willing to dclude the public by pushing off
Iron Tonic Bitters, and other Tonic Medicines,
i'll place of the genuine Browns Iron Bitters,
which is undoubtedly one of the purest and
best medicines known. These frauds have been
practiced 50 extensively, that he Company,
finding all other means inadequate, have at last
determined to try q little cold law to put stop
to them. Suits for heavy damages have there
fore been commenced against Frederick Stearns
& ca. Detroit, Mich, who are known as the
Non-Secret AIedi;c;ma- Manufacturers for selling
Iron Tonic Bitters against 5TCyCT ras- Z Co.
of st. Louis, Wholesale Druggists, for selling
Browns Iron Tonic, prepared by c. J. Lincoln,
Little Rock. Ark, and against Jas. A. Dickin-
son, druggist in Baltimore, for selling Iron
Tonic Bitters with his name upon the label,
which medicine was made by kOshland, Hol-
lander & Co, of that city, and also claimed as
an imitation. We wish the Brown Chemical
Company every success in these suits, it is
high time those who have pluck enough to
carry largo enterprises such rs theirs to success
should be protected from those who live not by
their own genius and effort, bat by copyiDga1d

standard and valuable by others.
