Now, having done this, had he used his heels, he would have saved himself, for he was of the build for swift running; whereas sailors are bad runners, though de- cent dancers. But his chivalrous courage, not disdaining flight, for the honorable reason that it never thought of flight, held him rooted, with nostrils quivering and gleaming eyes.
 Thompson of the bushy whiskers, gathered himself off the road, and rubbing the bridge of his nose, looked with a cast in his eye at the gentleman in the cloak.
 'We want no bloodshed," exclaimed that worthy. "Thompson, Jenkins, here, three of you make his hands fast and bring him along"
 This was an order not to be disobeyed under pain of whipping; willing backs must not be bloodily plowed for boyish obstinacy. So they went with a rush; the dust scared in 8 cloud as from under the heels of @ flying horse. It was wild fight, mad resist ance, with the hardhitting which the age of Mendoza and the slogster Crabbe made free with. But sudden blow must end the unfair contest. Down went Cuthbert like a snuff sellers Scotchman under the lurch of a drunken man. In moment his hands were bound; but his legs declining to exert them selves, he was hoisted on to the shoulders of a couple of stout seamen and the party pro- ceeded smartly up the hill toward the gorge that led to the sea.

Admiration of Physical Streneth.

Au"lrdIAOu oI InySicaI SCTenSCns
 We like to hear about the feats of man who is physically unconquerable, simply because in the breast of every man is inn planted desire to be endowed with tre- mendous physical strength. This wish is not the wish of the brute or bully in our nature. It is, rather, the offspring of the sentiment of justice and chivalry in man. Is there any man who has not wished for the strength of giant whenever he has been insulted by party of blackguards or has seen woman exposed to insult2
 When man is riding with a woman in public conveyance, and some drunken rufians come in and begin to use profane and indecent language, the first thought that occurs to him is, "I wish I were as strong as Sullivan at this particular mo- ment." But being merely man of ordi- nary size and strength, he is compelled to stomach the insult, lest, by interfering, he might make bad matters worse. 1 once saw strong man vanquish and eject a party of six such rufhans, and I felt like nominating him for president of the United States. We admire the strongest man in the world, not because he is a pugilist, but because he is so superbly strong-because he realizes our ideal of physical manhood, and because he has it in his power to do the deeds of courage and knightly prowess which we all yearn to do, but cannot because we are weddings. 70. s.

THE WATERBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT. WEDNESDAY, MAY
Democratic Success Assured.

Though Republican journals and polt- ticians try to make themselves believe that the Democratic party is in bad way on the eve of the presidential campaign, the turmoil and trouble really seem to be on their side The Ohio convention left an impression on the public of doubt and danger. There was surfeit of protesta- tion. There was 8 suspicion that things were not as the resolutions seemed to make them. There were differences that the convention could smile on Senator Sherman, and, like the cruel Duke of Clos ter, murder while it smiled There was at least mental reservation in the matter of presenting 8 presidential candidate that shows state of division and jealousy and f1ightiness of purpose.
 While charging all sins and cowardice in connection with the tariff question on the Democrats, the Republican leaders display tendency to abandon that issue and fall back on the animosities of the war. They do not have much luck ill at- tacking the administration. They are constantly confronted with their sneering predictions that the material and moral interests of the country would go to pieces under Democratic rule and with the practical refutation of their dreadful fore bodings. A year ago they insisted that under no circumstances could the Demo- crats nominate anybody else than MT. Cleveland for president in 1888. They glorified in the idea that there was only one man for the Democracy, and that he was not in accord with all factions of the Democratic party. Now they feel not less confident of MT. Cleveland's renomination, but they have discovered that he is for midable and do not like the prospect as well as they did twelve months since. Even in Ohio, the home of favorite son Sherman, the underlying opinion of man aging Republicans seems to be that they can do no better than to take up the man who was beaten in 1884. The Republican bosses are doing nothing in Ohio to con- mend them to the people, and their repre- sentatives in congress are simply playing an obstructive policy that will not culti- vate popular sympathy for their candi- dates for president and vice president, whoever they may be. There is great strength in the demonstration of the Democratic party for the affairs of gov ernment, and Democratic unity and ao tivity will give the party of the people another national victory this year, either with Cleveland or some other leader.- Cincinnati Enquirer.

Women and Pets.

From the pristine days of Eden, when Mother Eve toyed with the serpent, through the magnifcence of Cleopatra's time, when fair ladies amused themselves with the gambols of coal black slaves, to these periods of feminacy, when silver headed canes, lap dogs and overcoated poodles are all the rage. pets have been deemed necessity.
 can understand the fascination of a canary bird, with it's heaven tending trills, of hook nosed parrot, with his deep damnation friEs, of a superb mastiff, magnificent Newfoundland, lawn like greyhound, or of a quick witted black and tan. but what unique faculty it is which permits an otherwise sensible woman to fondly cuddle. to caress and to select as her constant companion lap dog. a poodle, spaniel. pug. I utterly fail to comprehend.

FORGED APART
By W. CLARK RUSSELL.
Aestaor of the ttWrecf of tue Grosrenor,n
 "A Suito,'s S,Ueetheart,' Etc.

"Standw shouted youthful voice, "in the kmgs name! Thompson, here is toe-and- heeler for us He'll make the complement, and no more sweethearts to break our heads with frying pans"
 The word "Standl" though very forc;.ly delivered, produced no effect on Cushbert. who could scarcely credit, indeed, that ii was meant for him; and he was passing or when a young man in a cloak stepped in front of him.
 "Now, my bantam, turn about! You're wanted"
 "Do you address mew exclaimed Cuthbert so much amazed that he looked behind him, half persuaded that there must be some one there for whom the accost was intended
 You or the man in the moon, my hearty; whoever is the nearest"
 Suffer me to pass you, sir"
 "Now, this is too bad, ]" cried the young fel- low, in a mock voice of consolation. "Oaths we are used to, but politeness in a son of a quid is fit for nothing but to get lush on tick with. Stand, tell you! Damn it, don't you understand kings Englishr' for Cuth- bert was pushing past.
 "Make way for me. You are overstepping your duty, or laboring under an error."
 "Ay, ay, we always do that. Thompson, give him sheer to port. We'll argue as we walk"
 A bushy- -whiskered fellow approached Cuthbert, who sprang back a yard before the outstretched arm
 "Touch me at your peril" he shouted.
 "Come, come, take it coolly, man. All the argufcation in the world I'll do no good The sarvice wants ye, so give us your hand upon it!' With bound the bushy-whiskered man grasped Cuthbert's arm.
 The three pinioned men looked on with a dull interest; the sailors turned their tobacco junks unconcernedly, glancing back at the town or up at the moon, muttering over the wet pull before them.
 Cuthbert had one of those nervous systems which, ill fury, make steel of the hand and steam engines of the muscles His white fist sped, like snow flake on a rush of wind right into the bend of the man Thompson's brow, and a pigtan wriggled in the dust, and pair of boots tried to hit the moon.

CHAPTER VI.
THE STRANGFIELDS.

Hard by an open space of yard, rudely railed, stood a house of wood a fair-sjzed house, and strong as an oak-built hull
 The yard that adjoined this house was shipwright's yard, and often as the tar cal dron belched it's smoky stench in the midst of it, the fumes could never kill the sweet favored smells that filled the air around from the white deals and shavings of the pine, and the blocks of red-hearted oak and teak from India.
 And now even at this stagnant season, when the Frenchman's and the Yankees love of small sweet pickings was so voracious, that the art of the British coasting trade was a plucky coquetting with wind and haven, even now in this yard were the skeletons of two vessels-a lugger and a schooner-to be finished, equipped, and afloat by August, under the signed contract of Michael Strang- field, who wanted neither pen nor witness to make his word binding
 On this evening of Cuthberts impressment, the master shipwright sat in the parlor of his wooden home, filling the room with the mist of navy tobacco. In this matter of the pipe his flesh was weak.
 Mir. Strangfield sat in a high-backed arm chair near the table, and opposite to him was his wife
 Both of them were busy; the one with his pipe and a design on paper of the hull of the schooner-a skeleton yet in the yard-and the other with knitting needles.
 On the table, at MT. Strangfeld's elbow, was big horn Bible.
 "I believe" said he, in a slow, hard voice, withdrawing his pipe, and speaking slightly through his nose to retain the flavor of the tobacco, 'sthat the lines here laid down be those thatn give MT. Wainwright the speed he looks for" He eyed the paper earnestly. | And as he said this he laid down the draw ing, and looked at his wife through a pair of 1 thick-rimmed spefacles.
 ! The spectacles of those days were disfigure- ments, as all persons know who are familiar with old prints and paintings. l But neither the irresistible enlargement ot Mir. Strangfeld's eyes, nor the goblin circles

The Party of Sectionalism.

The Republican party for nearly quar- ter of century has been the party of sectionalism. It has beat the drums and footed the horns to call '1oyal" north to vote against ''disloyal" south; it has waved the bloody shirt, and it has con tinued to canonize every politician, large and small, who has aught to say to the discredit of the south.--Atlanta Constitu- tiOn

"Jenny, ,Uiu yo,s ans'oer me or notS"
 The girl refused to speak. Then Mir. Strangfield repeated his question, and her lips turned pale, as under the pressure and torment of a thousand words which they would not part to deliver, and one most tear full wildered, pleading look she cast around Her father watched her steadily, and with an ever-deepening shadow on his face. Her want of speech was want of honesty, he thought. and his mouth took a sullen curve.

Latest Wheat. Deal.

Tuesday morning Jim Porter and
his brother Ned. colored men of un-
desirable reputation, were arrested
aud taken before Squire Brown,
charged with stealing wheat from
Brinkman's elevator. They were dis
covered about eight O'Clock the even
ing before, sacking up the wheat and
getting it ready for transportation.
Some 80 or 40 bushels were found in
their possession, and it has been
learned that they already sold one
load of wheat to the Ellinwood mills,
on Thanksgiving day. The case
against the fellows was set for Wed
nesday, but owing to the fact that
other business occupied the court was
again postponed.
