NOTE. If common iron be produced from
these ores. then the excessive amount OF
silica Is compensated for by the lime and the
abundance of manganese present. provided
the manganese be allowed to do duty as II
dux when smelling the ores A better plan
might be To mix the ores with limestone and
hematite In quantities sufficient to save the
manganese and reduce the large amount of
phosphOrous. producing thereby a silico-
ferro-manganase pig. In IRON silica, sui
phur and phosphoric acid these ores closely
resemble some of the qualities of calcined

Iy and kept regular trysts with Ialr EIea-
ner. But some teIltale evidence reached
the ears of Seett, and the daring Romeo
was sent away TO prisen at Fort Lafayette,
New York haTbor. He was released from
Lafayette in June and Immediately entered
the southern sesEice.
Williams was the son of prominent
Typographical engineer of the regular
army, was a descendant of the Custises
and Martha Washington, and therefore
relative of Mrs. Robert D. Lee.
The service performed for the south by
Williams before his advent as a spy
had won him @ place on the staff of Gen.
Bragg ia Tennessee, where, also, his cousin.
Lieut.. Peter, another scion of the Custis
branch, was on duty.
WhSn the mysterious pair came before
Col Baird at Fort Granger that evening
their forged documents had the desired
effect, Baird was volunteer colonel and
not very particular as to forms. There
we're many discrepancies patent to any
soldier on cIose inspection. Besides, they
were not written on the printed blanks
customary in the army. To account for
their general condition the strangers stated
that they had been surprised by Confed-
crates on their way, that their orderlies
and baggage had been lost IN the skirnish
and that two citizens overcoats which
were strapped on their saddle bags had
been obtained az substitutes for the ones
lost. They inspected Fort Granger min
utely, and after borrowing fifty dollars of
Col Baird to help them on their journey
rode off in the darkness toward Nashville.
While they were passing out of the fort
the commander of the Union cavalry under
Baird, Col. L. D. Watkins, rode in from
the outposts, and catching glimpse of the
strangers as they crossed the light of a
camp fire he suspected something, and
went at once to Baird for explanation.
Baird answered according to his belief that
the men were inspecting officers on duty.
Watkins said promptly: There must be
some mistake. l recognize one Of them as
an old army officer, now in the Confederate
service" With these words he started, fol-
lowed by his single orderly, to oveTtake
the strangers. On coming up to them he
politely stated that Col Baird wished to
see them further, and after some hesitation
they returned, acting as though they had
every confidence in themselves and those
about them. They were armed and might
have fought of these two enemies easily.
Col. Watkins escorted the pair TO his own
camp, nearer to the scene of encounter

A Tinker's Story.

Peter DAILY, a wandering tinker, sat
! mending an old wash boiler in front of a
| tenement house on F9rty-eighth street
near Eleventh avenue, singing merrily
away as he filed up the holes with solder.
Peter was in talkative mood, and a
few minutes conversation disclosed the
fact that the tinker has history.
He served ten years In the British army
and has seen some hard service under the
hot sun of India. His father was tinker
before him in county Antrim, Ireland,
where Pete was born, and he learned to
use the soldering iron almost as soon as he
learned 30 walk
From the British army Peter went to
Australia, and from there he wandered
over half Europe, carrying his little fur
mace and kit of tools, and working bis way
as he went. De can shout Boilers to
mend" in a half dozen different languages,
and speaks German as well as any good
subject of the kaiser But he says there is
a reason for that. In EttLe town in Ger
many he received a wound frun bright
pair of blue eyes that was worse than any
Ee had received In the army, ''aaA which, H."
Peter says, will never get well" But he
doesn't care much about thGt part Of it,
for the little German maiden consented to
90 with him and take care Of the wound.
So Pete took her along as his wife, and
says she is doing her best to keep the
wound freSh-
His wandertngs are done now, however,
and every night he goes home to the fat
where he lives On the west side, where the
smiling face Of his Gretehen and their
three sturdy ro41es OF children are await
ing his return SrfH Pe8s likes to talk
about the old times, when he was ''sojer
bye" and many an hour does he while
away telling the neighbors of his advent
