do so. Under the huge mass of roots
and earth they played happily enough
at making believe 1t was a cave, and
cynthia was radiant with delight over
the beautiful time they were having
For a little while Arthur experienced
the novel feeling of being perfectly
happy. Then, all OF sudden, a shower
OF earth and gravel came rafting down
on them from above, and with it came

at nobody in particular, but 1t happened
to strike Dick on the cheek and
make a slight cut, from which the
blood flowed. Thereupon the big boy
ran crying home to his mother and told
her that Arthur had struck him with
stick, in proof Of which he showed his
bloody face Then Mrs Dustin, who al
ways acted upon the impulse of the mo-
ment,. took down the apple switch from
over the mantel-piece, and gave her
nephew a whipping which, she said,
would be a lesson to him. Poor little
Cynthia tried to explain how it had all
happened, but her mother had no time
to listen and only told her and the
other children TO come away from tho
bad boy and not go near him again that
day.
Some days after this, when all the
others had gone on fishing expedition,
upon which they had refused to let
Arthur and Cynthia accompany them
the boy proposed beautiful plan to his
little cousin. He remembered his fairy
tales his own dear mother used to read
to him and now he said:
LET US make bolieve we are prince
and princess, Cynthia, and go out into
the world in search of adventures"
Cynthia had not the remotest idea of
what was meant by adventures" but
she was willing to agree to any thing
that Arthur might propose

CHAPTER II.

GALLANT RESCUE AND ITS UNJUST REWARD
Besides Uncle Phin Arthur had an
other friend. This was Brace Barlow,
a torpedo-man, whose business 1t was
to shoot oil wells, but who had worked
for Mr.. John Dustin when Arthur first
came there to live. He and the lonely boy
had taken a great liking to each other.
Now, as the latter walked along the
road toward the place where Uncle
Phin was at work, thinking intently OF
his own griefs and trials, he was aroused
by CHEEKY: "Halloo! Arthur, boy!' be-
hind him. Turning quickly he saw his
friend, the torpedo-man, driving light
wagon and laughing at him.
'Fraid you're getting old and deaf,
Arthur" said Brace Barlow. Gould

"Oh, Bracc!" cried the boy, forgetting

"Well, / don't know why not" was
the reply. "I'm only going out few
miles TO shoot a we'll and il you aren't
afraid of ofnitro-glycerine guess you can

or course, Arthur was not afraid, and
would not have ACKNOWLEDGED it even II
he had been. So he clambered into the
wagon beside his friend, and rode away,
as cheerfuliy as though there were not
nearly two hundred pounds OF. the dead

the little trembnng Unlng down IN the
soft grass on the other side.
Next they found a yellow butterfly
whose pretty wings were all tangled in
a spiders web. OF course, they set him
free, and had the pleasure Of seeing him
flutter joyously away. Arthur said these
were beautiful adventures, and both the
children looked eagerly forward to find

quavering plantation melodies. His
singing was always accompanied by a
slow rocking motion of the body, and
finally the blue, tear-swollen eyes
would close, and the boy would drop off
into sleep full Of beautiful dreams in
which he always saw his own dear ia
ther and mother. Then Uncle Phin's
frosted head would droop lower and
lower, until he too was asleep and
dreaming Of his long-ago cabin home
under the magnolia trees OF old Vir-
ginia. Thus these two would comfort
each other until morning.
Now, choking with a sense of injustice
and wrong at tho hands OF his Aunt
Nancy, little Prince Dusty fed across
the fields in search of this friend. He
was filledwith the determination to beg
Uncle Phin to take him away from that
hated place, TO some other whore they
might live happily together for always
and always.

THE TEMPTATION

to go out of doors in rough weather is not
strong, but we are, many of US, compelled
to face rough weather frequently. Dis
eases which arise from chill are peculiar
to 40 season OF the year. This is true,
thereto there should be in the closet of
every household what? Not an unmedi-
Gated stimulent. absolutely devoid of any
thing but an excitive action, but tonic
combining, in the effective form of an in
vigorant and an Alternative, the quality of
defence against changes of weather. Hos.
letters Stomach Bitters has three or four
properties that no other article of its class
possesses. Not only does it relieve the
complaints which it eventually cures. it
fortifies the system against the bad effects
of changes of temperature, fatally and too
often shown in the deadly form of ssla
grippe;" it produces radical change in
the weakened condition of system pecu-
liarly liable to be attacked by it. and it
tends to provide against the danger result
ing from an impoverished condition of the
blood and disordered state of the liver or
bowels.

BOY SHOT.
Leyland Graham, little son of John G.
Graham, had narrow escape from death
on Sunday night. The little fellow with
some of his companions, was engaged in dis
tributing valentines. They came up to the
door of Mr.. Engletield, when they heard the
remark, "shoot the dog" and the report of
pistol was heard.
The boy uttered a cry and was taken
into the house. 1t was discovered that the
ball struck the top of the skull, making an
ugly wound. Drs Brickford and Simmons
were summoned and reported that the ball
had glanced and that the wound was not
fatal one. Marshal Brown has taken thu
case in hand. He thinks it the carelesss
use of firearms by hoodlums, but is very
much in the dark.
The Englefeld family claim they did not
hear the shot.
