 Luke asked his guide several moro ques- tions in regard to the wounded men and Lillie, but Blacl1hawk seemed to have sud- denly grown morose, and either answered by negative grunts or sullen silence.
 For some strange, incomprehensible req son, Colonel Mason found himself nervous and trembling It seemed as if the vail of the past was about to be lifted, and he was to gaze upon what he had so longed to see. Could it be, oh /! was it possible that that dark mystery would soon be explaineda
 They ran two or three narrow escapes from small parties of thieves and army vandals. who were proving about the battle-tield numbering the wounded and robbing the slain.
 "Dar am de cahin," Blackhawk at last said, pointing through the woods to light which shone like star.
 They spurred their horses on and in a few sss.raents were at the door of the lonely g in ill the forest. Colonel Mason dis mounted and, followed by Blackhawk, went toward the miserable hut.

A PLEASANT SURPRISE.
A Story Showing That Appearances Arc
 Very Frequently Deceptive.

A Story Showing That Appearances Arc
 Very Frequently Deceptive.
 The apparel does not always proclaim the man; in other words, appearances are often deceptive. A friend told Ed K. Pritchard, the ubiquitous manipulator of the Arkan- saw Travellers Kaleidoscope, recently the following story, which aptly illustrates the point:
 ''I was once," he said, lon board an English man-of-war, during an extended cruise to the Mediterranean. Among the officers in command was little fellow, a Second Lieutenant, I think, who was what we to-day would call a bowling dude. He was extremely dandified in his dress, al ways carried light cane when on deck, and wore an eye-glass with all the hauteur and grace of the typical English swell. More over, he was considered martinet by the men under him, not one of whom seemed to either like or respect him, even as a su- perior.
 ''One day, when the weather was fine and we were running along before favorable wind, the engines scarcely working, the cry rang out: Man overboardr Our little dan dy, as we had come to call the officer, was pacing the deck, jauntily swinging his cane, and now and then issuing orders to the men when the alarm was given. Quick as thought he rushed to the sid. VI Vu0 VcSS0A 4IOm whence laO come the cry, and in an instant had plunged into the water to the rescue. Boats were lowered as quickly as possible, and in a short time both rescuer and rescued were back on board ship, where the gallant little Lieutenant was heartily applauded for his courage and his promptness in risking his own life to save that of fellow creature He took it all very coolly, however, barely acknowledging the congratulations and words of praise which every body now seemed so anxious to bestow.
 "1t was afterwards learned that he had often distinguished himself in like manner during his career in the navy, and had won medals enough in recognition for his ser vices to have covered his breast, had he seen fit to have made a display of them. He was splendid swimmer and a fine all round athlete, and was, besides, as cool and courageous ill times of danger as he ap- peared to be when taking hls afternoon promenade on the quarterback; but :,s ..sVe judged him by his dress and manners, one would have pronounced him an insufferable snob, bowling little swell possessing nej. ther brains, muscle nor courage"

 Road Under the Circumstances.

A Notice Which Shouldn't Have Been
 Read Undcr the Circumstances.
 According to the Boston Transcript, a story that goes back to the meetin' house in Wrentham is one of a worthy man named Habbakuk P, a resident of the town, and faithful attendant upon worship, who had been blessed with four wives, one after another. Habbakuk was rigidly orthodox, as his name scene to demand, and was al ways in his pew. on the Sabbath He sat there in his conspicuous pew, with Mo- by his side, and on the first Sunday morning after their marriage. It was a balmy June day, and the zephyrs from the open window toyed playfully with the brides white satin bonnet ribbons and the groom's silken locks There was stranger in the pulpit who had exchanged for the day with the venerable Mir. F--, the pastor of the church. After reading a few Scripture passages the stranger proceeded to read notice which as follows:
 'Mr. Habbakuk P- desires the prayers of the congregation that the death of his wife may be sanctified to him for his spirit ual good"
 Then, when the congregation was be- tween stupefaction and explosion, the clergyman went on with the services at a rapid rate. He was at a loss to know why the congregation seemed to be throughout the remainder o. the services on the point of laughter, but at dinner Mrs. F-, the pastors wife, explained to him that Hab balkuk P sat three rows from the front in the broad aisle with his brand new wife and he had read an old notice that Mr. F- had probably been using for Q book mark ever since the death of wife No. 8

GAMBLING TRAVELLERS.
An Elaboration Whose Truth and Justic

An Elaboration Whose Truth and Justice
 Is Self f-Evident.
 An Omaha traveller addresses his con- rades through the Merchant Traveller as follows: It IS with deep regret that I see the habit of card playing getting a firm hold on the travelling men, and this habit is often lndulged in at 8 sacrifice of time which should be devoted to business. I will give one instance and who of us but have seen this repeated many times overt fcw days ago the writer was sitting in the hotel of a Nebraska town engaged in writing when number of travelling men entered. Having just arrived in the town, they had hardly had time to.register when one of the number proposed they have game of high five. and four-handed game was at once made up. This was three o'clock in che afternoon. l left there at eleven o'clock that night and the game was still on, they having stopped only long enough to eat supper, and not one of them had been out to call on his customers. Now, boys, will leave it to your impartial judg- ment. Is it right to thus spend the time that should be devoted to business. Is that what we draw our salaries for9 The firms we represent expect that we will spend our time in trying to make sales, and not in card playing, and just in the proportion that we made our services valuable to our firms, we expect to receive higher salaries. This can be accomplished only by giving our time and study to our business. So, from a financial standpoint, we can not afford to play cards, and while we may not all have the same religious views, let us have re- spect for the Sabbath, and not spend the fay in card playing. It is needless to say we could give the names of good many salesmen who have taken their own lives after losing their own and some of the firm's money at the card table, and this was not done in gambling den, but in game with other travelling men who should have been their friends. There is also another view to take of this matter, which is of far greater importance than the loss of time and money. Card playing is but another of the many traps which the devil has set to catch the souls of men, and can we afford to sacrifice our immortal souls through this indulgence of habiti Fellow travellers, is it not time tS cali haiti Brace up!

 The voice was also heard by the wounded man and praying girl.
 "Father!" said Albert, starting up and leaning on his elbow
 "Father!" cried Lillie, spring gng to her feet. Then, for the first time, Colonel Mason's presence was discovered. "Oh, Luke-Luke-Luke! she cried, flinging her arms about his neck. MT. Neff en- tered, and, for moment, stood gazing in amaZement
 Wall, declar, what do t all meant" he finally gasped
 Explanations were soon made and Mr. Neff told how that he had come near to Pittsburg Landing hoping to see his son, and that he learned that he was wounded and got some very nice soldiers to show him to the place. Upon examination of Albert 8 wound Luke was soon satisfied that it was not necessarily fatal. But it was evident that Colonel Morgan was dying, and could live but few hours at most He was still strong, however, and told them that he was shot on the second day when the fighting was almost over. He had fallen back sev- eral hu2dred rods from the enemy and was riding along ridge when a single rif1e-shot rang out from the bushes on his left and he 4cll ploICSu III tuS pTSaSG Dy a DulleC.

 "Unless whata" asked the Colonel.
 ''The other one be living"
 ''Of whom are you tallzinga What other one do you mean, Colonel Morgana" Luke asked, knowing full well that the man had not long to live, and that whatever he had to say must be said immediately
 'I once had child two years older than Jasper. But when an infant-a mere in. fant-the child was stolen from me-" He broke down and wept, as recollections of his loss came to the dying man. "Ah! if could but know that he was alive, and had been trained to be an honorable man, I could die happy"
 "Massa Morgan, kin tole ye," said Blackhawk, at this moment stepping for ward. The words of the dying man had melted the stony heart of the African.
 "Who are you" asked MT. Morgan, gag. ing at the negro as if he had never seen him before.

ENTERING IN,

The church was dim and silent With the hush before the prayer; Only the solemn trembling or the organ stirred the air. Without, the sweet still sunshine; Within the holy calm, Where priest and people waited For the swelling of tho psalm. Slowly the door swung open, And little baby girl, Brown-eyed, with brown hair falling In many wavy curl, With soft cheeks flushing hotly, Sly glances downward thrown, And small hands clasped before her Stood in the aisle alone; Stood half-abashed, half-frightened, Unknowing where to go. While like wind-rocked flower Her form swayed to and fro; And the changing color fiuttered In the little troubled face, As from side to side she waverod With Q mute, imploring grace. It was but for Q moment;
 What wonder that we smiled By such a strange, sweet picture From holy thoughts beguiled! Up then rose some one softly, And many an eye grew dim, As through the tender silence He bore the child with him. And I, wondered, losing The sermon and the prayer, If when some time enter The many mansions fair, And stand abashed and drooping In the portals golden glow, Our God will send an angel To show me where to go!

CHAPTER XVIII.

CoNCLUsIoN.
 A solitary tallow candle dlmly lighted the dingy apartment, bringing only into partial relief the objects within. At the rear of the cabin, half concealed by the titful shadows, were two miserable couches, on each of which lay a dark form. \ female knelt at one while another sat upon a stool near by, her face buried in her hands Leaning against the wall was a sabre in it's Scabbard.
 The footsteps of the Colonel and his at tendant were unheard, and he had reached the center of the room unperceived. A low, earnest prayer was belng offered up by the Girlish form kneeling at the couch. The awful solemnity of the occasion awed even the. man who had grown accustomed to death and carnage, The voice he heard was of the being whom he loved, and had loved since his boyhood days. She was the angel who had visited his dreams and whose prayers for his safety had seemed more in- vulnerable than armor of steel. She was uttering prayer for dying man, Colonel Morgan, the fiery Southerner, while his daughtN sat by his side weeping. Some how Luke dared not break that awful silence.
 The sound of horses feet were heard without, then of some one slo wly dismount- ing.
 Thar, boys, I'm all right now. I thank ee fur comin' wi me, An! dear me, it list pears like these war times ar' gwine t kill every body" said a weak voice from without, which Luke recognized as MT. Jordan Neff, Lilies father. It was the same dyspeptic, pessimistic voice Luke had

THE LAST JEWISH KING,
Judean Rulers from the Rirth of Chris
 to tho Destruction of Jerusalem.

Judean Rulers from tho Birth of Christ
 to tho Destruction of Jerusalem.
 In the year B. C., the year which modern chronologers believe to have been that of the birth of Christ, Herod the Great, the last ruler but two who ever bore the title of King of the Jews, died. Judea had been conquered by Pompey the Great, and made Roman province, in the year 63 B. c. This conQueror had made Hyrca- nus, high priest of Jerusalem, Ethnarch of the province, but, after the overthrow of Pompey, AS B. C., Julius Caesar made Antipater governor of Judea with the title of Procurator. The son of the latter, Herod, succeeded him, and, through the favor of Mark Antony, was made King of Judea by decree of the Roman Senate, 40 B. c. When Herod dled, his kingdom was divided among his sons, Archelaus, Philip and Herod Antipas, each having the title of tetrarch. Archelaus ruled Judea, and, subsequently, received from the Elm peror Augustus the title of Ethnarch, and was promised the royal dignity if he reigned successfully, but he never really had the title of King. h A. D. 6 he was banished the kingdom by Augustus, and Judea was again attached to the Roman province of Syria, and was ruled by Roman procurators. Pontius Pilate was one of these, who was appointed about the year 26, and served ten years
 In A. D. Al, Herod Agrippa l., e grandson of Herod the Great, was installed in the kingdom of his grandfather by the Roman Emperor Claudius, and re- ceived the title of King. In A he died, and a Roman procurator again held rule until 5, when Rerod Agrippa II. received a part of the kingdom, including Judea and the kingly title. Tho condition of tho coun- try at that time was deplorable. heRoman Emperors had their statues erected in the temple, demanding divine honors for them, thus continually outraging the religious sentiment of the people. The imperial ofa- cers grew rich by taxing the people; the kingly court initiated that of Rom~ in all.li. centiousness; and disorder, lawlessness and faction ruled in civil affairs. Death to the Romans became the cry of an insurgent party that daily grew stronger among the people. King Agrippa vainly endeavored tofepress the instruction, and warned the people that to attempt g war against the Romans was only to bring upon themselves certain destruction. When war broke out he sided with the Roman forces- The in- surgents seized and fortified Jerusalem, and organized Q general uprising. Two ar- mics were sent against them by the Romans. The war lasted several years. In 69 Jeru- salem was besieged. Famine and pesti- lence consumed the inhabitants, but they refused to surrender. In September, 70, the last defense of the city was taken, its surviving inhabitants were all slaughtered, sold into slavery, or carried to Rome to per ish in fights with wild beasts. A million of Jews perished in this war, which erased the name of Judea from the list of the king doms of the earth. There were no Jewish kings after that time-Chicago Inter Ocean
