He knew what his fathers grief would
be, if harm came to him. And he had
brought Ally into the peril, too.

covered his face with his hands. 81 most

Ally nodded. He softly stole out of
the wood, Cecil close behind.
They heard the hammers ringing, but
the window must have been screened in
some way, for the only sign of light was
through the gaps in the walls.
They ran. Their feet made no sound
on the soft ground.
They ran and ran; past the sycamore,
down the clear space, until their breath
failed them and Ally gasped: 81 reckon
we're all right now; L can't see the
house.
They rested a few moments before they
went on.
One danger had only given place to
another. To Cecil there was no trace of
road, but Ally's woodlands eye
marked kind of band running through
the woods where there were no trees or
trees OF smaller growth.
More than once they were obliged to
leave even this poor trail, because the
water had overhowed the road at every
depression.
On these occasions Ally carefully noted
in which direction they turned. $50 to

to the old curduroy.''
They tramped on and on, so tired now
that they were past talking. After q
long time Ally stopped. The moon rode
high in the heavens. he could see down
the road.
He leaned forward. ''There were two
roads here once,' he muttered. ''I

Then he suddenly pulled Cecil into the
shadow of the trees.
"Do you hear?" he whispered.
"They re after u.s. gasped Cecil.
What they both heard distinctly was

The negroes of the South believe that the
green heron and the kingfsher influence
luck in fishing. One of their sayings is
"When de kingfisher and de fiy-up-de-
creek green heron) says how'd 'ye-do,
de fish gwine ter say good-by." Which
means that you will have no luck when
you go fishing if you see a green heron
and kingfisher.
In migrating the green heron rises to o
great height usually far above the reach
of human vision; but late in the night
when everything was very still haye
heard his cultural croak dropping as II
from among the stars. Its method of
feeding is TO creep slyly upon its victim,
whether fish or frog, aud strike it with

dollar and was crawling along on the
sand beside a brook. The bird struck
the little fellow several times and was
apparently much surprised that the blows
had no effect. With ludicrous agility it
hoped around the diminutive creature
waRging its head and stretching its long
neck until it looked like dancing inter-
rogation point. Meantime the little tur-
tie very deliberately scrambled into the
water and escaped.
When in fight the green heron is q
most comical-looking bird, especially
when frightened or angry. 1t stretches
out its neck, bangles its long legs awk-
wardly behind 1t and flaps its wings with
ludicrous stateliness. When on its mi
gratory flight, however, it doubles up its
neck and rests Its head on its back, so
that its beak is barely visible from be-
low.
On small brook in Kentucky saw a
green heron overcome hen hawk that
attacked it. The hawk struck down
from a pine tree, intending to take its
prey unawares; but the heron was quite
ready for her, and, thrusting upon its
beak, caught the hawk fairly up it.
That one fierce stab was sufficient. The
bold assailant was glad to retire with his
wound. MAURICE THOMPSON.

TIE Board of Supervisors were tend cred the resignation of Clerk J L. B. Alexander yesterday, and unanimously refused to accept the same, the members expressing full confidence in Mir. Alex ander and satisfaction with his work. The offering of the resignation was caused by the fact that during the elec- ton Mir. Alexander has been prominent in his opposition to the reelection of c. R. flakes as Q member of the Board. He did so simply in the interest of good government, and now that the fight is won, desires to retire from an office in which he thought he might be personally objectionable to at least ene of the mem bers of the Board. Mir. Alexander is a careful and correct official and, being himself heavy taxpayer, has shown in many ways, especially during the last year, that he has the interests of the County at heart.

THE stand the farmers have taken in the East in organizing political par ties is one that is to be regretted, in the interest of free American institutions. No particular sect or class, or guild of society or labor can combine in politics without introducing a selfish and mar row motive. Instead of government by and for the people they seek to make it government directed by themselves, for their own especial benefit. Such an idea is against pure Republication as it is against justice. The laws of the land should be made by tlle people as q whole, not by representatives of the farmers, nor of blacksIniths, nor of any particular trade or occupation. The platforms of all parties that seek supremacy should be bised upon ideas of general equity, on broad principles of political economy and rlot upon desire to individually benefit the members of any especial organization.

TIE people of Nebraska seem to have walked up to the value of the beet-sugar industry. The success of the experi- ment in the manufacture of beet sugar at Grand Island has caused other places to endeavor to secure the establishment of similar factories. The business promises to grow into great proportions, and of course it will be stimulated by the sugar bounty which ii provided for by the Mckinley bill.
