1t was all settled that there would ba a
grand migration of Old Englanders TO the
daughter-land in the coming spring, Hope
ran high that Blarnaby would secure the
nomination ut the national convention
shortly to be held-a mysterious operation
TO Elsie, who innocently wondered why, if
ii WAS really Il free country, everybody was
not allowed TO vote for anybody as preSi-
dent. There was not j ripple on the sur
face OF the placid parting between Lady
Ossuistone and her distinguished guest,
now also the arbiter OF goodly portion of
her fortune, in his capacity of millionaire
tinancer.
And so, with i prouder step than with
which he landed, the Hon. Dewitt NJ
Blarnaby STROBE up the gangway OF the
good ship Fortuna, bound for New York.

He did not know it until later. but in the

Blarnaby carried on board with him far

of the uoStrumS he was wont to buy. The
two or three bits of paper nesting there so
Snugly, ciuSt outside his heart, held the
charm. When the mind means business

telegram he got just as he stepped aboard
telling him his nomination was all put cer-
tain. There was the photograph of the
Countess of Ossulstone, in full court dress.
And there was the miSsive from Mrs.
Shicksper. How could any man thus en-
crossed think of mere physical trifles!
Blarnaby was moody, restless, unsocia-

the era of lightning speed, comfortless,
and risky, had taken the poetry out of
ocean travel He paced the decks by day
and prowled about the saloons most of the
nights, getting sleep when and where he
best could. His admiring fellow passen-
gers ascribed it all to politics. And, truly,
politics and love and the sea are alike at
least in this: they make men heave with
violent emotions which move onlookers to
sympathize with our strainings because
they enjoy their seeming righteousness.
Blarnaby had TO master the three.
Perhaps the little affair worried him the
most. A flea is harder to hunt than bear.
He tried hard to dismiss the Shicksper

dered their ways for time, and when
again they met, the old love revived, and
plans were laid which patience and perse-
verance were by and by to ripen. But
changes came, in circumstances and in am

career, better worth their waiting for than
the risks Of hasty marriage in a cramped
sphere. So he launched out into the larger
world, and she, distressing her own pru-

AN HEROIC DEED.
How Q Father Saved His Family from
tho Indians.

How Father Saved His Family from
tho Indians.
A gentleman passed through the citv
the other day on his way to Excelsior
Springs whose name three or four wears
ago was one of the most popular in the
daily press of that day, says the Kansas
City Times. It was Mr.. John II. Shy, of
Deming. N. NJ, whose deeds of heroism
in saving his wife and family from
massacre by q band Of savage Apaches
after a running fight of several miles
will ever make his name conspicuous
one in the history of the West. The
story is as follows:
Mr.. Shy had settled on ranch in
New Mexico with his wife and young
son, their place being seventeen miles
from any other settlement. The ranch
was attacked by rowing band of eight
cen Apaches, who sought to drive off the
stock. Mr.. Shy, who was we'll armed
and had plenty of ammunition, placed
his wife and child in place Of safety
within the house, and then opened fire,
which was returned. The fight was
waged for some time, till one of the In
dians succeeded IN crawling up to and
setting fire to the house.
This necessitated fight; so, sending
Mrs. Shy forward under the smoke of
the burning building, the husband and
father, carrying his young son under
his arm, made a dash for the cover of
some thick brush which was growing
near by.
An Indians bullet went through the
child's hip and lodged in the fathers
body, but the fight went on. Mr.. Shy
ran forward some distance and then,
dropping the child in the brush, would
face about, fire at the leading pursuer,
who would thus be brought to stand
still for time. Then another shot and
another stand, to gain time for Mrs
Shy, who was fleeing in the front, and
so on the day was spent The Indians
finally gave up the chase, which had
cost them no less than six warriors, and
the exhausted fugitives managed to
reach the city OF Deming with their
lives. The wounds received by both IA
ther and son were rapidly healed, and
now, when the hostiles are forever ex-
PEELED from or killed out of that neigh
borhood, there is no more fiourishing or
nappy family in New Mexico than that
If valorous John T. Shy.

NEW YoRK'S HOTEL HERMIT.
In the Midst OF Thousands Of His Fell

In the Midst OF Thousands OF His Fell
lows. Yet lie Never Speaks.
The census brought out the fact that
a man can live in New York hotel for
ten years and never speak to any man
or enter into any communication with
any one except as to the commonplace af-
airs of eating and drinking. This cham
pion hermit lives at the Grand Union
Hotel and is known as Bailey. That's all
that is known about him. There was
a statement printed that the census man
had skipped that hotel, and in writing
to the supervisor to say that the story
was untrue and that the enumer-
ator, with the assistance of the clerks,
had made every effort to secure the
proper information as to all permanent
residents in the house, the proprietor,
Mr.. Garrison, added that there was one
man called Bailey, who, to the best Of
his knowledge, had not spoken word
to o living soul since he first came to
live at the hotel, ten years ago, and
from whom It. had been impossible to
obtain any answers to the questions.
There has been a story told Of another
similar hermit who used to live at
large downtown hotel, but that one did
talk occasionally.

Origin Of tho Marine Band.

The origin of the National Marine
Band Mt Washington is most curious.
Nearly a hundred years ago, says the
New York World, n Yankee captain
kidnapped strolling troop of mu-

Naples and brought them to this coun-
try. From this handful of Italians the
band was developed. The descendants
of these stolen Italians are now among
the wealthiest people of Washington.
Some of them are prominent lawyers
and others have their names connected
with the best-known hotels and the

Curious Patents.

An inventor hos just patented a pa
per vest. Paper, as is well known is
II nOn-cOnductor Of heat, and the new
waisicoat is said to be an excellent
thing to wear when the thermOue-
ter is below zero. One of the most
singular of recent patents is rock.
ing chair washing machine. The
rocking-chair, which is placed in a
tub in which are water, soap and the
clothes to be washed, has rack on
its rockers provided with a grooved
roller. The washtub has projections
on its vertical ends, and allows of the
full play Of the rocker of the chair.
The result of this arrangement is the
mother of the family can rock hel
child to sleep in her arms and at the
same time be washing the family
linen.
