Every scholar in Miss Putnam's
school pricked up their ears at the
sound OF those heavy footsteps in the
entry, sure that a committee had
come to visit the school. Miss Put
nam thought so, too.
A queer kind OF uncertain knock
came presently at the door, and Miss
Putnam opened it.
Instead OF seeing Deacon Harper's
pleasant rosy face, however, she
looked down on the wicked eyes OF
Mr.. Johuson's old horned sheep, the
terror OF all the children, and some @:
the older people, too, VIXEN he was at
large.
The remnants OF a poke about his
neck showed he had broken out OF his
pasture up the road, and he chad come
into the schoolhouse entry to get
away from the hot sun.
Miss Putnam stepped boldly up to
drive him out, but he was. not afraid,
and dashins at her, knocked her over.
Quick as a flash she Jumped up,
slipped through the half-open door,
and two OF the larger girls coming to.
help, they managed to shut it in his
face. Then they LETT him to himself,
and school went on rs usual.
The noon recess came in about an
hour, and new trouble arose. Only
about half dozen OF the twenty
scholars brought their dinner; the rest
usually went home for theirs. How
were they to get out and go home?
The old sheep had lain himself down
in the shade just before the outside
door, and not one OF the scholars
dared 60 by him. There were no boys
in school that summer only small
ones.
"Perhaps some one will come along
that can help US" said Miss Putnam.
So they began to watch for help to
come: But the schoolhouse was on a
side road quite a little distance from
the highway, and as only q few fami-

schoolhouse, there was very little
travel on it.
"There's q cloud OF Dust" cried
Freddie Rogers watching the main
road. "And oh! two men in wagon!'
They all began to shout and wave
their hands out OF the window, but
the men had no idea what was wanted.
Johnny Brown burst into tears as
the team drove out OF sight. "Im so
huugry!" he said.
Don't cry" said Fan Elliot, "and
you may have a cookie out OF my
pail"
Johnny took it, and smiled through
his tears.
In all the houses, all the people were
wondering why the children didn't
come nome to dinner.
One o'clock came. "Please don't
begin school," pleaded the scholars.
"We're so hungry"
Just then down the road came Mr..
johnson, looking for his stray sheep.
"Here you are!" he said. "Well,
we'll, if you haven't gone to keeping
jail, you rascal! Come out, children,
and 60 home to your dinners. II:
take care OF this old scamp!"

A Syrian John L.

Josef Maloof, q 7-year old Syrian
child, was brought to Agent B;lrkley,
OF the Gerry society at the Tombs
police court this morning by his
mother, a beautiful woman, whom
the Syrian interpreter said, was known
to be woman OF title in her own
land. She asked to have the child
committed, rs she was unable to pro,
vide for it.
Josef. who is q remarkable sturdy
youngster, caused q sensation in the
court room. He wore q red calico
blouse. of which he seemed to be i'm
mensely proud.
AS soon as he was brought before
Justice Mcmahon he rolled his sleeves
up and volunteered in broken English
to knock out any man in the crowd
for 5 cents. While his moth
or was anxiously awaiting
the Justices decision in his case, young
josef despatched Agent Barley,
Roundsman Campbell and Chief Clerk
Knapp in one round each. Mr.. Knapp
the small boy handled with such
science that he wns deprived OF his
breath for go seconds.
Agent Barley Immediately christ
ened him the Syrian John l.. The
child handled his fists with remarkable
skill, and was rewarded with a score
of pennies for his three successful
bouts. Justice Mcmahon would not
commit the child, however, as Mrs.
Maloof already has two children in
the Gerry society's charge.
They left the court room together,
the mother sobbing her heart out, and
the child chuckling over his prize
money, which he held tightly clasped
in his small right fist.

Sometimes our mother would give

thing OF the kind. Here is an &C.

herself, in a letter to her sister:

proach or fear,") 1.-The effect was real

theater, lighted by q lamp from the
top looked very pretty"
This may have been the play OF

manuscript is unhappily lost. can re-
call but one passage:

A NOVEL. CASE.
New Trial Ordered in the RObb
Case In Charleston.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Nov. 22.-Thc ST.
preme court of the State has ordered a
new trial in the suit over the estate of
Wm. Robb, for many years prominent
business man of Charleston. The case
raises the question whether a childless
unmarried man of alleged illegitimate
birth can have any legal heir.
Mr.. Robb was Scotchman and came
to this city many years ago. He died i'll
1885. leaving property valued at nearly
S150,000. Mrs. Jean Robb Muir, of
Woodcross, Utah, claimed the estate as
Robb's sister. Her claim was contested
by the State, to which the estate was de-
clared escheated on double ground First,
that Robb was an illegitimate child and
could have no heirs. and, second, that
when he bequeathed, as in his will, he
meant his lawful relation, and as he had
none his unlawful relations could not
take it. Mrs. Muir was non-suited be-
cause she was not able to conclusively
prove the marriage of Robb's father and
mother. and because the court held that
there was no competent testimony to
show who were the persons referred to
in the will.
The higher court now reverses the de-
cision and orders new trial. The case
is novel one and raised points new, not
only in this State, but in this country.

DR.. Karl Won Ruck has returned to the
city from his business trip embracing
several of the largest cities in the West
and Northwest. The Doctor has spent
a couple of weeks advertising his SAM
tarium particularly and Asheville in gen.
eral. While away he talked with many
eminent physicians in Chicago, Cincin-
natl, St. Louis. Columbus and Toledo,
and believes that. Judging from the as
surances given him, Ashevillc will have a
large number OF winter visitors from
those points. He says he found every
where a prejudice against Asheville
created by the very unusual winter Of
two years ago. He did all in his power
to dissipate these preiudices, and, he
thinks. successfully. On the train by
which he returned to Asheville were six
patients who will spend the winter here
The Doctor only regrets that he had not
more time to devote to his advertising
trip, He says Asheville will have a good
winter patronage.
The WinyahI sanitarium. under Drs
Won Ruck and Amber, will be opened the
latter part of this week.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22,-President elect
Cleveland left town today in search of
much needed rest. Since the election he
has been fairly overrun with callers and
the volume OF his correspondence has
been something enormous. The Presi-
dent-clect's appearance today indicated
fatigue. In speaking Of the necessity of
relief from the anncyarces which are his
daily lot at home he said:

grateful at the thousands Of letters of
congratulations which have received

and from every quarter of the land. 1t

one OF them. These good friends Of
course will not expect any replies to
their communications, for that would be
utterly out Of the question and the most
thatI can do is to say through the press
that am not unmindful of their kind
ness.
MANY of the callers whom have
been obliged to receive would not,
think, have encroached upon my time il

me to talk about Offices. it seems to me,
have been little inconsiderate, certainly
premature. desire to give as much
publicity as possible to the statement
that dc not propose to consider appli-

that subject.

obtain an opportunity to present their
applications orally and those who bur-
den me at this time with written appli-
cations cannot possibly do any thing

chances of success.

Upon being asked how long he ex.

Piled:
"As to that am not certain. ex-
pect, however, to be absent about two
weeks and when return. unless | am
somewhat relieved from the unnecessary
demands upon my time, shall shut up
my house in the city and find some
quicter place to spend the winter. Ger

the place selected bv President-elect

Was This Suicide a Confession of
Guilt?

LONDON, Nov. 22.-The death of Baron
DeRenich, who was one of the men COM
promised in the Panama scandal, has
caused considerable discussion here and
stories are ahoat that, rather than stand
prosecution, he committed suicide.
Those stories find credence in many quar-
tiers. This morning it was said that his
death was caused by cerebral excitement
brought on by the discovery that papers
showing that he wascompromised in the
canal scandal had been stolen from him.
His family refused to allow an autopsy
to be held and this is taken as a contir-
nation of the suicide theory, though his
family give as their reason for refusing,
that to allow an autopsy is contrary to
the Jewish religion. Baron DeRenich
leaves fortune of $15,000,000.
