BENTON, LA. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER o. 1892.

Harley bowed his head, folded his
arms. and leaned against the door
which he had closed.
"Poor little babyl Little woman,
may God care for you! See, she
breathes slower Don't die, Allie! Don't
die, my babyl"
The man lifted the pillow up and car
ried the little form to the light. He
bent closely over it; he put his ear next
to the baby's lips. Then flash of sun
shine fell upon the little ones face, and
when 1T faded it took with it the life Of
the child.
"Allie-is dead!" Eli laid the pillow
back in the crib and held his wife close
to him while she sobbed.
ELI, when you get ready come back
to the Jail. Pm not the man to take
you there. Your trial is on for to-mor-
row." said Harley, as he laid his hand
upon the latch.

Harley" came softly from the grief
stricken mans lips.
Harley went out and explained the
situation to his men, and they rode
away without the prisoner.

moonshiner was called, Eli Bargy en-
teged the courtroom. His form trem

thing without that was not free. The
whippoorwin in the magnolia tree was
free, but its notes came to the moon
sinners ear like knells of despair. The
sobbing of the wind and the whisper RS
of the rustling leaves brought to him
the sad murmurs of woe. How his
hands clinched the bars, and how fro m
the depths of his bosom came his words:
"Allie, Allie, my little baby! Are you
better, worse, dying?"
And the voices of the night came to
him out of the dark shadows without
and sobbed: .a
Dying, dying, dying"
| The man started as though struck with
a bullet. He sank upon his knees
bowed his head in his hands and wept
like child.
"Allie, my baby-my babyr' came
from his lips.
Then he started to his feet; his hands
gripped the bars. They were firm; he
could not move them. Dying, dying,
dyingw again came the whispering
voices of the night. And when the
agony of the whippoorwills notes fol
lowed, a superhuman strength from
some unseen power was forced into the
mans muscles and-the bars were sent
away from the sockets like weak
weeds. Freedom was before him-and
Allie, his baby.
The next morning when the jaile1
made his rounds he found that the
moonshiner had escaped. The alarm
was quickly given and posse of mer

At a sugar mill on the island of Bar
BADGES the men in attendance were
shortening sail, when native boy, who
did not let go soon enough, was carried
aloft by the great forty-fve-foot sail.
He fortunately had all his wits about
him and managed to get his feet around
a bar of the sail and to hold on to the
one above. in this position he was car
ried around, the mill revolving with in
creased rapidity, as the man whose duty
it was to feed it had rushed out at the
first alarm. A cry was raised to choke
the rollers with cane and thus stop the
mill, and this was done at the imminent
risk of breaking some of the machinery
and SO releasing the sails altogether;
but, after six complete revolutions, the
mill was stopped fairly ehoked by the
bundles of cane thrust into its jaws,
leaving the sail, to which the boy still

YOUR UNCLE ISAAC.
The Man who Profits by the Misfortune
of Others.

VI ObueEbs
In all proba bility the majority Of the
persons who will read this sketch
have never seen the inside of pawn
brokers' shop, and sincerely trust that
they never will be obliged to call on
their ''uncle" The business of pawn
brolxing dates back a great many years,
and it is generally believed that the
pawn-broking insignia of three balls
was derived from the armorial bearings
of the &C lebrated family of the Medici,
who were the richest of the early
pawnbrokers While it is an undisputed
fact that many power ty-stricken men
and women patronize pawnshops nova
days, as in the pa st, because OF the most
dire necessity, yet it is equally true
that such establishments are as often
sought by the criminal classes and by
extravagant men who have been on
debauch, who soak" their jewelry or
unnecessary wearing apparel for enough
money to enable them to prolong their
spree. 1t may not be generally known
but it is fact that the pawnbrokers in
this city are compelled by law to daily
send list to police headquar ters OF
every article placed in pawn together
| with the names, residences and descrip-
ton of the individuals who have
pawned anything. BY this method
stolen articles are frequently traced
and recovered and clews obtained that
lead to the arrest of the thieves. Pawn
brokers' rates of interest are simply
enormous, but they accumulate any
quantity of practically valueless stuff
and hence don't make money as rapidly
as many people believe they do.-De

full Brilliancy.
A remarkable popularity about these
temporary stars is their usually sud-
den appearance. In all the we'll
authenticated cases the stars have
blazed out with startling rapidity
Such were the brilliant stars of 1879
and 1904; and in later years, those OF
1865 in Corona Bo realis, and of 1875 in
Cygnus Tycho Brahe's star OF 1874
made its appearance near the star
Kappa Cassiopeie, the faintest of the
four stars forming the well-known
square in Cassiopeia's Chair. 1t ap-
pears to have been first noticed by
Cornelius Gemma, on November 9 of
that year, and it seems to have blazed
out very suddenly, as he states that it
was not visible on the preceding even
ing in clear sky. The attention OF
Tycho Brahe, whose name is
generally associated with the
star, seems to have been first
attracted to it on November II. When
first seen, it surpassed Jupiter and
rivaled Venus in brightness, and was
visible at noondayl At this brilliancy,
however, it did not long remain, but
gradually diminished in luster, and in
March, 1874, had completely disap-
peared, at least to the naked eye. Its
curious changes are thus described:
"As it decreased in size, SO it varied in
color: at first its light was white and
extremely bright; it then became yei
lowish, afterward of ruddy color, and
finished with a pale livil color. ii
