CHAPTER XVII.
IN THE TOLLS.

Milton is one of the wealthicst and
most beautiful, and yet, in parts, one Of
the lonelcst suburbs of Boston.
Among its wooded hills and valleys,
one feels lost in the deep country,
while it seems S,arsl~ TO beiievc that
great city throbs almost within gun
shot of its silent retreats.
For miles around the lofty "Bluc
Hill," crested with its solitary stone
tower, commands an unimpcdcd pros
pcct OF hill and dale, of dense forest
and sunny pasture, of winding river
and glimmcring lake.
The district is the very flower of
Massachusetts, and yet much Of it's OK
tent is known only to the adventurous
sportsman and tho wandering herd.
Enter it's cmbowered confines, and
you are as practically lost to the world
as though you had hidden yourself
i'll the recesscs of the tracklcss,
primeval forest.

DUELiNG FOR LIFE.
"A Thrilling Incident in the Career o.
Junius Brutus Booth.

At Cincinnati the other night an Indian
chief in Captain Jack Crawford's Wild
West show went on spree, and converted
mock duel scene with the pale face scout
into a genuine fight. He was disarmed of
his knife with great difficulty by the Cap
tain, who received number of injuries.
Colonel c.. j. Osborn, of ST. Louis, says the
New York Graphic, IS reminded by this III
cident of scene which he witnessed in Ed
mund Deans theater IN Rochester, n. Y,
away back ID 1910 or 1S4l. Junlus Brutus
Booth, the greatest actor then in the world,
was playing Richard III. Booth entered into
this character with more vigor than he
showed in other parts, and that is saying q
great deal, for Booths identity was always
lost in his approximations. 1t is not neces-
sary to recall Booths eccentricities any fur
Their than to explain his remarkable con-
duct that evening The leading man VINO
played Richmond was splendid spec
linen of physical manhood, and well
for him that he was an unusually
expert swordsman. Every body no.
ticed that Booth in his earlier acts
of the tragedy was unusually tempestuous.
At last 1t came to the battle scene in the
last act. Richard and Richmond met on
Bosworth fed. The sword duel commenced
with the heavy short swords Of the drama,
and the audience shouted with enthusiasm,
SO vigorous was the onslaught The usual
time for Richard to receive his mortal
thrust had passed. but the warriors still
fought on Booth wore the expression of a
fury, and the audience gradually under
stood that Richmond was defending him.
self Booth was in a frenzy, He was the
cruel, revengeful Richard. Five minutes
of this terrible work continued. Richmond
was fighting for his life. Gradually he
backed from the stage, closely pressed by
his transported antagonist, only to reappear
still backing across the stage and parrying
the crazed actors deadly thrusts, and then
again on the stage, still defending himself.
Slowly he drew to the footlights, when sud
denly he leaped into the orchestra pit and
dropped through the little door from which
the musicians emerge. Booth, with sword
in hand, dashed after him, but the fright
ened Richmond succeeded in escaping to the
street. The excitement in the audience was
intense. Richmonds workmanship alone
saved his life.

the hillside.

the hillside
This was kept up till the head or right OF
the sidelong line reached the frowning
cross that stood at the summit OF the hoiy
hill. There the march was changed and
each penitente Frustrated himself at the
foot of the cross, and keeping up his
mournful chorus to the weird notes OF the
music far behind, dragged himself near
enough to touch and kiss the upright beam,
then followed in like way by those behind,
who passed and kissed the cross and took
position about it. Thus each came on; the
faltering bearers of the great heavy crosses
toward the end of the line, were encour-
aged by chanted songs and spurred on by
cruel blows upon their poor bleeding backs
and loins, until the summit was reached
by ell. Then down PROSTATE each one
fell, and, crossing and mourning and
chanting an incoherent prayer, up they
arose. to burst forth into the widest wall
that ever echoed amid the stony hills and
sandy wales of that wild land. This was
the moment when the supreme act of wor-
ship had come, this was the signal note;
now Christ's crucifxion was about to be
commemorated, and quickly, but silently,
who had sunk faint upon the ground at
tho foot Of the upright cross, was seized
and scourged, spit upon, and wetted with
the sailed vinegar SALTY vinagre) and
lifted unresisting and bound to the cross,
when, with louder groans and weirder
notes, the group at the foot fell forward.
Then all was still.
The watchers came forth determined to
see if indeed the wretch was dead or dy-
ing. They were quickly seen and met by
half dozen pententes who cried in hur-
ried tones: ''Go off; this is holy ground;
you are infidels; go, leave US with our
people and our God" The head Of the
wretch fell forward on his breast; the
kneeling group around the cross rose up,
and amid mournful songs cut the cords
and took down the limp and mangled body,
not dead this time, but purified. Some
times they die under this torture.

A Georgia Negro Whose Black Skin Eas
Turned White in Places.

A Georgia Negro Whose Black Skin Eas
Turned White in Places.
One Of the passengers of the Central in
coming train yesterday, says the Augusta
(Ga) Chronicle, was Greene Howell, of Mid
vile, Ga.
Greene has a double claim on the title of
colored, for he is full-blooded negro, but is
turning white in great patches-a color
which natural philosophy tells Us is blend
ing of all colors Greene was questioned as
to the strange freak Of nature wrought in
his skin. There are two patches of white
on each ear. His lips are turning a pale color,
about that of the average Caucasian skin.
Beneath the folds of his flannel shirt could
be seen the evidence of changing color. His
hands, further than several small patches
of brown, are as pale as those of any white
and at a moments glance can be seen to be
different from the bleaching of the leper.
Greene is quite an intelligent fellow. He
is a successful planter and talks freely OF
his strange case. He is about thirty five
years of age and of medium height. His
face and hair bear out his story that there
is no mixed blood in his veins. He says
that at the close Of the war he had two small
blotches on each hand, which remained
without change until four years ago last
April. when the skin on his hands began to
turn pale red and then white.
While at work blowing in the fields in
summer he says the Precipitation from his
hands would be red, as II tinctured with
blood. Further than from the evidence Of
his eyes he was unaware through any SEN
sation Of the change which has been going
on. There mas been no itch or smart, and
several doctors whom he has consulted
have assured him that the variegated skin
is entirely healthy. They all confess that
they are puzzled by his case. Greene says
his body is almost white, and his feet are
turning. he says his father was what is
known as '.tender man'-that is, be
would blister under hot sun. Greene also
