that resembled an alligator very much.

Of his comrades.
In the meantime Molly and Ruth
had reached the door without being
seen, and Mistress Pidged peeked out
cautiously. The guard had left his
post to help lead the horses to the
front Of the church, Most of them
had been taken, but Duke was still
standing under the tree. ,-7r.-
The two sisters darted down the
steps, climbed up on stone fence,
united Duke and mounted, but had
gone only few yards when they en-
countered two men.
'Stopp cried one Of them, seizing
the bride. Molly bent over Duke
and sspatted him gently on the neck.
Then she raised her whip and brought
it down with all her might on his
flank. He reared wildly, and, with a
furious plunge that would have un-
seated less skillful rider than Molly;
he freed himself from his csptor,
dashed across the green, and, with
ears laid fiat against his neck and his
tail streaming out like white
banner, he darted like an arrow up the
road. -
2 Ruth was partly thrown from the
pillion, but Molly's strong arm was
around her, and her calm voice sound
ed reassuringly: Z is.i
Pull yourself up the pillion! Never
fear! can hold you;' and even in
that mad fight the little girl was able
to draw herself up to q secure position
AS they reached the top of the long
hill Molly drew reign and looked
back. A few mounted men had
started in pursuit, but Duke was too
feet for them and they turned back.
oh, my brave Duke said Molly;
may you always carry your rider as
swiftly from danger as you have car
ried is to-dayF l pa7t 21jeera .
Duke bore them swiftly up the old
road to Caanan parish, and as soon as
they reached home safely the alarm
was given by the ringing of bells and
the firing of.guns, and Eseveral of the
men started at once for Middlesex.
But they were too latel The prisoners
had been carried across the Sound,
and from thence they were sent to the

of peace, she stood on balcony with |

An Electric Storm.

Dubuque, Ia, has been treated to a
great electrical storm, which was not at
tended by loss of life, though telegraph
and telephone instruments were burned
out and some damage was done to prop
erty. 1t is quite probable that the cleo
tric wires helped to protect the people
from storm of unusual violence. The
great balls Of fire that are reported to
have exploded, doing no damage, have
been observed before. Sometimes they
are harmless, but more frequently they
kill. AS many as eight men have been
killed at one stroke, and so instantane-
onsly that their dead bodies have re-
mained in the attitude of life.-New Or.

A Needle in the Bone.

A dispatch from British Columbia says
that Miss Kelly, of New Westminster,
imagined she broke her leg by sudden
movement Of the limb. Doctors were
called in and could discover no break,
but decided to open an abscsss which
had developed near the supposed break.
On an incision being made a large sized
darning needle was found, the point Of
which penetrated the bone. The needle
was removed and the young lady is rap
idly recoveEing. She has been lame
since childhood, and it is supposed the
needle entered her foot then and gradu-
ally worked up to where it was found.

the custom has besn traced to the scene

time. Away back nearly a hundred
years in the Claws Calendaria, mention

Jessie Brown.

Are we to have no idols in these later
days of cruel research and fact? The
real story of Jessie Brown of Lucknow
has come to.light. In 1858 a clever
lady, who is still living, was engaged in
journalistic work in Paris, and one of
her duties was to write a monthly let
ter TO a certain daily paper about In
dian affairs, which letter was supposed
by the ingenious readers Of that paper
to come direct from Calcutta, as it was
dated from that city. The letter was
always considerably written up" in
order to suit rhe French taste for high
favored narratives, and when the time
came to relate the circumstances at
tending the relief of Lucknow the clever
lady in question evolved the story of
Jessie Brown ald the bagpipes entirely
out of her own imagination, well know
ing that it would be just the sort of an
episode to delight her readers. She
was quite right, for it was copied into
half the papers in France, and having
been translated, appeared in either
Galignani or a Jersey journal, where
upon it was printed in the Times and
went all around the British press.
kilograms did not then pass between
India and Eng and every hour, and by
the time the romance of Jessie Brown
was denounced as nonsense by those
who had been at Lucknow, it was uni
versally accented as truth, and l rather
fancy that a picture was painted de-
picting the scene. Numerous women
have been pointed out as the original
Of the nonresident Jessie Brown, and
in Scotland it would even now be
scarcely prudent to deny the truth of
the story, although it is clearly one Of
the mock pearls of Indian history.

A correspondent of the Scientific
american, writing from California,
gives interesting observations upon the
occurrence of butterflies at elevations
much above any noted in Europe. II
is something remarkable that these
creatures of summer day can fly SO
far, aud can bear such degree of cold
as they do in crossing our mountain
ranges.
Last summer, while on a peak OF the
Sierra Nevada Mountains, at an alti-
tude of thirteen thousand feet, / saw
butterflies sailing leisurely about in the
air above me, with no more ado than ii
it had been low}and garden. That
was above the line Of perpetual snow.
In climbing that peak / had passed
over snow ten feet deep. At another
time, in the summer of 1877, | saw but
terflies at an altitude of eleven thous-
and feet, on a mountain of British Co
lumbia, near the southeastern frontier
of Alaska.
There was pass, although a high
one, on the mountain, and the butter
flies were going through it to the east
aud seemed TO be migrating Although
they we're not so high as those seen on
the Sierra Nevada, yet in latitude so
fer north it was more surprising to see
them practically almost under the
arctic circle.
The butterflies we're several thousand
feet above the line Of perpetual snow.
As l said, they seemed 10 be crossing
the mountain, all going in the same di.
rection.
Those on the Sierra Nevada, on the
other hand, appeared to be flying about
for their own pleasure, not going any

Seattle's Indian Princess.

One of the peculiar features of Seattle
Washington State) life is the number OF
Indians seen on the street, dressed, not
in the proverbial blanket, but in cast-off
clothes of the whites. The tribes around
there are Siwashes, and one cannot i'm
agine their having an ounce of the des-
perate, brave blood that seems TO belong
to the Indian race. These Siwashes are
very small and drag themselves slowly
around the street, barefooted, dressed in
dirty rags, carrying baskets of CLAIMS to
sell and other baskets to fill with any
scraps of food they may pick off the
street or out of the garbage barrels.
They seem to be utterly degraded and
the flats on which they live are fine fields
for home missionaries.
The principal character among these
Indians is the Princess Angelina, and old
woman whose face in a mass Of wrinkles
and who is ugly in the extreme. 1t is
said that about the middle of this cen
fury she and her husband, who has since
died, tramped from the western part of
this State through almost impenetrable
forests to warn the people in this village
las it then was) that the In1ians were CO.
ing to attack them This heroic act was
the means of saving the town, and since
then Angelina has been part of it. She
is the daughter of the old chief, Seattle,
for whom the city is named and to whose
memory the pioneers ofthe city have lately
erected a handsome monument at Port
Blakeley, where he was buried in 1866.
The old chief would have great Gauss
TO be proud of his namesake, which,
from population of 5000 in 1880, has
risen to be city of A, 600, doubling it,

| 1t is generally known that in 1914
Captain John Smith, of Pocahontas fame,
made trip to what is now Gardiner,
Me-, but there was an incident that &C
Cured during that visit that is known by
very few people, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch. The Cabassas were presided over
by chief, having headquarters at what
4 Is now Gardiner, known as Cabassa, who
had daughter named Schools, famed
among her tribe for her beauty and
grace. She was, unfortunately, smitten
ut once with the gallant Captain, who
was, by the way, the first white man to
visit these parts, and who was received
with great cordially. Smith had with
him a lieutenant named Hunt, who was
Of rather a quarclsome disposition and
prone to mutiny. When the time came
for the party of whites to depart, Hunts
nutinous spirit showed itself, and with a
small party of followers he left Smith,
going in an opposite direction. His
party took with them as captives several
Of the tribe of Cabassas.
The chief considering the whites one
party, by great mistake followed Cap
tain Smiths loyal band, which camped
that night about four miles from the
present location Of Gardiner, in an east
srly direction. Schools thinking to warn
The Captain hurried on before the party
Of enraged Indians, but arrived too late,
for as she arrived at the camp the first
solley of arrows was delivered.
Thinking to save Smith, she fed to
him, threw her arms about his neck, and
| in that position received an arrow in the
breast that caused instant death. The
chief was palsied at the accident, and
ordered hostilities to be ceased. This al
lowed Smith an opportunity to explain
that it was the other party that had per-
petrated the kidnapping.
After sorrowful return and the burial
Of Schools near the Randolph church,
the party of red men went in search of
Hunt. He was overtaken near Norridge-
wock and his band exterminated to a
man. Captain Smith had the martyred
Schools to thank for his life; for the ar
row that had reached her heart was
meant for him. The grave of Schools is
unmarked; in fact, its exact location is
unknown.
