CHAPTER VI.
NIGHT IN THE WOODS (concluded): DICK
AND JOAN.
The horses had by this time finished the
small store Of proyender, and fully breathed
from their fatigues. At Dicks command the
fire was snothered in snow; and while his
men got once more YEARLY to saddle, he him
self, remembering, somewhat late. true wood
land caution, chose a tall oak and Dimbly
clambered to the topmost fork. Hence he
could look far abroad ON the moon-lit and
snow-payen forest. On the southwest, dark
against the horizon stood those upland, healthy
quarters where he and Joanna had met with
the terrifying misadventure OF the leper. And
there his eye was caught by spot of ruddy
brightness no bigger than a needles eye.
He blamed himself sharply for his previous
neglect. Were that, as it appeared to be, tho
shining Of Sir Daniels campfire he should
long ago have seen and marched for il; above
all, lie should, for no consideration, have an
nounced his neighborhoOd by lighting q
fire Of his own. But now he must no longer
squander valuable hours. The direct way
TO the uplands was about two miles in
length; but il was crossed by n very deep, pre-
cipitous dingie, impossible TO mounted men /;
and Tor the sake Of speed, 1t seemed to DICK
advisable to desert the horses and attempt the
adventure on foot.
Ten men were left to guard the horses sig
nails were agreed upon by which they could
communicate in case Of need; and Dick set

ingham walking stoutly by his side.
The men had freed themselves OF heavy
armour, and left behind tlcir ances; and they
now marched with u very good spirit in the
frozen snow, and under the eXhiarating lusire
Of the moon. The descent into the dngle,
where q stream strained sobbing through the
snow and ice, was effected with silence and
order; and on tho further side, being then
within a short half mile 81 where Dick had
seen the glimmer Of the fire. the party halted
TO breathe before the attack
IN tlic vast silence q the wood, the highest
sounds were audible from far; and Alicia, who
was keen Of hearing held up her finger warn
ingiy and stopped % listen. All followed her
example hut besides the groana OF the chOScd
broo', in the dinele clio o behind, and the bark
ing Of fox at q distance Of many miles among
the forest. 20 Dicks acutcst hearkening not a
breath was audible.
Bat yet, for sure, heard the clash OF har-
noes" whispered Alicia.

afraid Of that young lady than Of ten stout
warriors, 81 wonld not hint ye were mistaken
but Il might well have come from either Of the

"Ah! lion driver! said the feeble voice.
s'Sbe is farther on. Ride-ride fast''
And then the poor young lady tainted once
again.
One of Dicks men carried flask of some
strong cordial, and with this Dick succeeded
In reyiving consciousness. Then he took
Joanna's friend upon his saddle bow, and once
more pushed toward the forest.
"Why do you take me?" said the girl. eye

'Nay, Mistress Risingham," replied Dick.
''Shoreby is full of blood and drunkenness and
riot Here ye are safe; content ye."

TARIFF BILL OF THE BARoNs.
A Vote Can't be Reached Before the
Middle of September


Middle of September.
WASHINGTON, July 3I.-Every republi-
can senator has seen the tariff bill which
Messrs. Allison, Aldrich and Hiscock have
been so secretly preparing, and almost
every senator, after careful examination of
it, has made some amendatory suggestions
The three senator's who framed the bill are
now trying to work as many of their sug-
gestions as possible into it. The Pacific
coast senators have been peculiarly fortu-
nate in getting their suggestions adopted.
They have seized the occasion to get some
favors that are not secured TO them in the
present tariff
1--WE get all we want" said one of them
to-day
Mr.. Plumb Of Kansas has succeeded in
getting the cut in sugar duties reduced one
fifth, or to 40 per cent, the classification
remaining the same as at present.
THE DUTIES ON RICE
The rice classification is to remain the
same as at present, the duties being cut so
per cent.
The bill will probably be in shape by
Saturday or Sunday, and will probably be
reported to the full committee on Monday
Mr. Allison says the full committee will
report it by the end of next week to the
senate but the democrats of the committee
say that this is impracticable, that it
cannot be considered section by section
than two weeks, and probably not IN three
weeks They say Mr.. Allison will be for
tunate if he gets the bill into the senate by
Sept l. The shortest period estimated for
debate in the senate would then bring the
vote on Sept. Is.

two stops The President went on board
the Susquehanna Thursday night and did
not leave her except to fish, until last night
at llo'clock. These stories about his visits
TO various places on the route are untrue.
He did not take meal Off the yacht, and
there whs no one in the party at any time

and had splendid time all through. The

the matter. The senator may 60 on and

Mr.. Cockrell--l have no doubt of it, and

Florida has compelled to be brought out in
this discussion.
Mr.. Call protest against your saying

those papers.
Mr.. Cockrell-The papers were sent to
the senate In response 70 q resolution offered
by the Senator from Florida, on which the
amendment is based
In conclusion, Mr.. Cockrell said that the
proposed appropriation would be simply an
absolute waste of so much money and
might complicate the United States govern
ment in troubles from which it might not
easily extricate itself.
Tho bill went over until tomorrow with
out action on Mr. Calls amendment, and
the senate, at $50 o'clock, adjourned.

made by John Grass, Long Dog, Mad Be ar

anxious to have the councils end. They say
that they have crops up Cannon Ball river
to look after and that it will do no good to
keep them longer"
