Dorr? You have brought me only Eve
boxes. Where is the sixth? It Is abso-
lutely essential that no one on my list
should be neglected.
"Your highness may rest assured that
four orders will be implicitly obeyed,"
replied the jeweler. "If NJ. Norm will
kindly acquaint me with the name and
address Of the person for whom the box
is destined it shall he delivered to him

If any one endowed with the peculiar
faculties of Asmodeus had penetrated
some ten evenings later into the small
room forming the back shop and private
sanctum of the well known jeweler Of
the Rue de la Paix he would have been
enlightened as to certain supplementary
adiuncts to the ordinary business carried
ON by NJ. Dorr. He would have seen
that estimable tradesman seated at a
table on which were lying six gold snuff
boxes bearing suspicious resemblance
to those recently purchased by his high
ness the pasha, and carefully polishing
each in turn with silk handkerchief.
"They all come back to me again,
every one of them," muttsxed M. Dorr
with self satisfied chuckle, while deli
cately removing q speck Of dust from
the last of the half dozen. "No one eveI
keeps them long, for snuff boxes arr

Renwick, land as cunning as a fox CT

Instinct is the lowest form of rea-

does not accomplish his work by in

were mechanics he inherits from them

There being no response to these re-

in their ashes, like human passions;

their posts, watchful as the stars and as

a cHERoKEE ROMANCE.


How . Wealthy Penn<yiv mia Curl Won an
Indian Chief
On prominent eminence in the prai-
rie overlooking the town of Tahleouah
has been a solitary grave for sixteen
years It contained the remains of
Mary Downing. the wife of fulfil blood
Cherokee Chief, Lewis Downing. At the
time of her death the place was her
home, and it was her dying rsquest that
she should be buried ON the summit of
the hill Since then the property has
passed into strange hands and the grave
has been in the midst of corn field
The present owner, gentleman from
Georgia, hearing that she was Chiefs
wife, thought it was due her to rest in 8
more sacred place. So her remains were
exhumed and taken to the Tahiequah
cemetery. Her maiden name was Mary
Aver. She was born in Bethlehem, Pa.
was highly educated and accomplished
and a woman of wealth. She had very
romantic ideas and her infaeuation for
Indians was extreme In 1865 Chief
Lewis Downing was sent to Washington
on business for the Cnerokees- Though
a full-blood, he spoke English quite
we'll While at Washington he had oc-
casion to visit Bethlehem, and acci-
dentally met Miss Aver. who fell des-
perately in love with him The Chick
fingered longer in Bethlehem than ha
had intended, not being 'able to
tear himself away from the charms
of SO fair lady, and ere his de-
parture had won her consent to be
his bride and share a place in his
wigwam- 1t was agreed between the
two that she would follow him tes
the Territory, and be married at the
capital She required six months tn
dispose of her property and convert her
valuables into cash Chief Downilg re-
turned to his nation. and with him it
proved ''out OF sight out OF mind" Tho
ardor of his love for Miss Aver soon
cooled, and he wrote her Withdrawing
his engagement
She, after reading his letter, remarked
that sit took two to make a contract
and two to break it" and so wrote him.
Before this letter reached the Chief he
had married dusky maiden of his own
tribe. Miss Aver having gotten every
thing in readiness started for the Terrf9
tory. According to contract she arrived
at Tahlequah. and on hearing of his
marriage made up her mind to make
her home among his people. devoting
her life to their advancement Years
elapsed and the Chiefs wife died Miss
Aver being still single. he renewed his
broken vows and was again accepted
They were married and went to the
home she had built The life she had
long dreamed of was realized, but not
long was she permitted to I'LL his house
with light and love ere death claimed
her. On her deathbed she tlld the
Chief that on the third evening afte$
| her burial she would return to him -
her home But he. inheriting the SUI
! perstition of his race, closed she house
after the funeral and returned to his
home, about thirty miles distant, ou
| Grand river. 1t is said that on the
third night after her burial lights were
seen moving from window to Windows

daythat she reappeared on that night

CHAPTER VIII.

WAR AND PHILOSOPHY.
Ariel having departed on his mission
to Fort Oswcgo, the little army under
Selwyn began its march, confident that
tho enemy would not recover from their
surprise in time to harrass its retreat,
although the commander had no doubt
that they would follow as soon as they
could collect their demoralized allies.
Cautiously feeling their way, with the
Mohawks in the rear to guard against
surprise, they reached tho Blackwater
river at the close of the second days
march. at the point where Marden ran
the Indian blockade; but there was no
trace of the enemy. They had probably

the force recently rcpulsed. Sclwyn
decided 20 place the river between
him and the foe, and at once ordered
the construction Of RATS to convey
them across, a task easily accomplished
by the rangers, who cut the trees in uni
form lengths with their axes and bound
them together with wild grape-yines
When night closed the entire force was
encamped on the opposite shore.

said Renwick, lighting his pipe at the
nre where supper was being prepared,
although 1 don't think they will get
here before tomorrow evening"

replied Selwyn, land we must be pre

must be hauled up en- the bank for
breasrworks and more added to them. It
must be done at daybreak."

They Stand Equality with ThehF
Medical brethren
A wonderful change in respect to-
female labor has rapidly developed
within the last half century. A vast
number of the common schools have
passed into the hands of women. with
a manifest gain to the cause of educse
ton. as well as to that of the sex
Women fill clerkships in almost every
department of industry. AT least as
many women as men stand behind
counters They have largely taken
possession of the lighter forms of labor
introduced by the utilizing of cleo
tricity.
The foundation of colleges for womeH
and the opening to them of some of tho
older colleges have prepared the way
for their introduction into the various
professions We already have success

and especially doctors
Some of our female doctors stand On
an equality with their medical brethren

the part of young women now gradual

The natural instincts of women are in
this direction 1t is this that makes
them SO much at home in the sick

itary hospitals The field for them 10
broad and rempnerative They need to
accompany the foreign missionary ev-
erywhere. They are best suited to
minister to their own sex and to chill
dren generally.
But they must prepare themselves
most thoroughly for the work, adding
to the discipline of the college the full
est mastery OF medicine that can be fur
nished by frst-class medical schools
They can not rely upon any feeling OF
gallantEy here. 1t must be seen that
| they are the equals of their brothers
Further, we are sorry to say that il l.
not infrequently the case that members
of the medical profession are At present
unequal to their responsibilities 1t has
been too easy to get medical diplomas
School has competed against school, to
the injury of the profession and the
peril of the sick Our best medical
schools recognize and derlore this con-
dition of things, and are doing what
they can to improve it
We say. therefore, TO young ladies,
that the field is open to them with the
