A Fortunate statute.

MARsmALLTowN, Iowa, June 12.-The
county attorney has decided that the
back bounty claims due many volunteers
from this county can not be collected,
being barred by the statute of limita-

bounty was authorized by the county
board, as decided by the State Supreme
Court in 1878 in a similar case. This

A REvsncEFuL MONKEY.


How He Got Even with n Troublesome
r4H Cociatoo.
Avery amusing story is told Of mon
key and cockatoo In the geological
gardens In Washington. One day tho
cage OF the cockatoo was put on top Of
tho cage Of very intelligent monkey,
who is great favorite with visitors.
The monkey, undisturbed by the pres
once OF his gorgeous neighbor, went fly
ing about, as usual, most actively. In
the course Of his movements his tail
went through the top OF his cage and
lay against the side Of Miss Cockatoo's
cage. She Immediately caught 1t with
beak and claws, and tho poor monkey
screamed and struggled TO free himself.
When he did at last free himself the
hair was torn from his tail, and for
some days no suffered. The cockatoo
was moved across the aisle, and tho
monkey seemed TO understand who was
responsible for his hurt.
Somebody had given the monkey q
small piece of mirror, which no great
ly enjoyed, while at the Same time no
was greatly puzzled at the sudden ap-
pearance Of neighbor who was evi-
IDENTIFY OF his own race, but whom he
could not coax out from his peculiar
hiding-placc. Ono day, as he held the
mirror, ray OF sunlight struck 1t and
blinded him for minute. The refleo-
tion danced about from place TO place,

the coclsatoo's cage, who gave a fright
ened scream as It struck her eyes, for It

had learned TO direct Its rays, and for
over half an hour the cockatoo was
chased from sido to side and from top to
bottom OF her cage by the binding fash,
the monkey evidently enjoying her
fright. He could not bo diverted until
. passing cloud made the bit OF mirror
useless as 0 means OF torture, and the
monkey found himself again confronted
by the queer neighbor whom ho could

bands Of Indians roamed the woods as

CHAPTER vi

VOLUNTEERS 10 THE RESCUE.
Sir William johnson, having decided
to proceed with all despatch to Albany
TO confer with the authorities on the
subject Of relieving the fort at Oswego,
returned to his home the next morning
to make preparations for journey
which, in those days, was long and per-
ilons, and only TO be made on horseback.
Before leaving his nephew, however, he
gave him much sound advice on tho fol-
ly Of wasting his time in study whom
the times demanded men Of action In
arms or politics. lie had no doubt, he
said, that ho could easily obtain for his
young relative a civil appointment un-
der the provincial government, or
commission In the British army-the
former being In his mind preferable as
1t afforded opportunities Of lucrative
prefement Selwyn promised to give
the matter thoughtful consideration and
TO devote more attention TO public
affairs, with which tho baronet had to
content himself, and departed with the
belief that his nephew would soon real
ize the value of his prudent counsels.
No sooner had the sound OF his horses
hoofs died away in the distance than
Selwyn summoned tho Indian boy and
began TO interrogate him about his
master, the condition OF the fort, and
the military aspect on the frontier. The
conversation would have been attended
with much difficulty II the answers were
conveyed in the mute language Of signs,
Of which Selwyn was ignorant, but
Ariel had learned to write with the aid
OF Jabe's wife and his own quick per-
ception.
Selwyn asked his questions in French,
and was surprised to find the answers
written in English, in a style at once
simple and graphic.
"You arc skillful with the pen, Ariel"
remarked Selwyn, when he had read the
narrative Of the voyage on the river;
'but what think you of Marden's
chances Of success in this dangerous
venture?"
The boy shook his head mournfully.

protection" continued he, "and 40

dition Of the fort and tho danger which
