GOALS OF FIRE.
Tney were Heapsd Upon John Lecch's
Head by the Duke of Athole.

An eccentric Duke of Athole, in
1850, for no apparent reason, closed
to tourists a lovely glen on his estate.
Indignant letters, cOndemning his ac-
ton, thereupon appeared in the naws-
papers, and John Leech portrayed the
! old Duke in Punch as a Scotch Dog in
the Manger." The decision was soon
reversed-whether or not as a result
of the newspaper war does not matter,
but subsequently events proved that
the Duke bore the daring ~caricaturist
no malice.
Soon after the drawing had appear
ed, Leech, sketch-book in hand, was
wandering about the Athole estate,
when a hOrseman approached, attend
ed by a groom.
"What is your name" asked the
rider, "and what are you doing here:?"
81 am an artist" said the intruder,
"and my name is Leech.
Not John Leech?"
ayes, John"
The artist felt SURE that he WAS
about to receive a sharp reprimand for
having held a noble Duke up to ridi-
Guile, and mildly said hat he would
not intrude farther, but would return
to his inn.
"No, SIR" said the stranger. "no inn
for you tonight. You must dine and
sleep at my house. l am the Duke of
Athole."
Then the Duke told the servant to
dismOunt, insisted that Leech should
take his place, and the two rode off to-
gether.
The road to the castle lay through a
rough country, and eliminated in a
narrow and broken path, with a cliff
on one side and a precipice on the
other. The artist hesitated.
HAS he brought me here to break
my neck?" thought he. Then he tim
idly advanced, and reached the Duke.
who had stopped for him at a point
where the path was still more danger

Are you the man, sir, who has
maligned me in Punch!" inquired the
Duke, fiercely.

Then the Dukes affected i~erceness
melted into the jovial manner said TO
be peculiar to him. and the two rode
off pleasantly together. At the castle
Leech was assigned a room, and ther,
he waited, hour after hour. for dinner
to be announced. Finally, FEARING
that he had missed the summons, he
rang the bell and n servant appeared.
Il am afraid" said the artist, that
l did not hear the dinner-bell. Is din

Leech.

GIddy Girls Newest Fad.

The girls have a new fad now. 1t
is called the photographic plaque"
Like all fads, it has swept the homes
of the young women like wildfirc, and
has occasiOned no end Of sharp COM
ment by members of the sterner sex
who have been mulcted of dimes.
The autographs plaque is an ingeH-
iOus device of a china firing concern,
and its purpose is financial gain for
this establishment. Pieces of card
board, 10x10 inches in size, are distri-
buted where they are likely TO meet
with a favorable reception. These
pieces of card contains a circle in the
center a reserved space large enough
for a reproduced photograph. From
the circumference of this circle
extend lines to a larger circle, like
spokes in a wheel from the hub to the
tire. The spaces between these lines
are for autographs. There are fifty
such places, and it has been declared
the popular thing for a girl to get the
fifty autographs of fifty of her male
friends written within them. An
unwritten law in this fad DEGREES
that each autograph writer must pro-
duce a dime with his signature.
When all the spaces are full and each
name paid for the girl has s., and
this s., if sent to a certain place with
the card aid a photograph of the
owner, will secure a china plaque
with the picture and autographs
reproduced and fired. 1t is a great
scheme for the girls who have little
or nothing to do, and greatly in
demand.

A NIGHT WHEN ALL WAS PEACE.
NJ. Quad's Story of a War Incident In the
Shenandoah Valley.

1t was q bright moonlight night il
October. The persimmon trees along
the roadside were heavy with fruit
just being touched by the first frosts,
and now and then we caught the
pattering footsteps of coon or 'possum
on the dry leaves under the forest
trees.
There was war in the beautiful Shen-
andoah Valley-bitter war, with rough
riders scouting the country TO burn
and piIlage and add still further bur-
home. We knew this, and yet as we
road softly along the highway growing
up to grass, and heard the songs of the
crickets and the cries of the whippoor-
will, there was no bitterness in n
mans heart. 1t was a night so calm
and gentle that one forgot his enemies
and remembered only his friends.
There was only n corporal's guard of
us-an escort for the mail-rider. As
we came to the east and west road and
halted a moment to listen to the bark
ing of a Watchdog affair of, there sud-
denly came TO our ears the clatter of a

We drew back into the shadow. dressed
our line, and every man unslung his
carbine.
Fire at his horse if he refuses to
halt" whispered the Corporal and the
next minute he had cried Halt" to
the stranger.
The unknown pulled up so suddenly
that his horse reared, wheeled about;
and fell down. Three OF us were off
our horses in a thrice, and while two
advanced upon the stranger the third
caught his steed as it struggled up.
"it's a woman" exclaimed one of the
men who had placed his hand upon
her shoulder before he detected her
sex.
So it was. Sh, moved out of the
shadow cast by the branches of a road

light. We drew nearer and looked up
on her with wonder and admiration.
She was was not a woman, but a girl
of %, handsome of face and trim of fig
ure, and she looked from man to man
and uttered never a word. She had
been within our lines; she was riding
towards those of Fitzhugh Lee. 4

out doubt.
And for what seemed five long min
utes no one spoke. The soft. white
moonlight seemed to compel silence;
the song of the crickets were songs of
peace; in the thickets the whippoOr-
will swelled her breast and lovingly
called her mate. At length the Cor
poral slowly swung himself out of
his saddle. He was a brOnzed-faced
old fighter of many battles. He mo-
toned TO the man holding her horse
and the animal was led nearer. Then
he knelt and held out his big, sum
burned hand for her dainty foot. She
placed it there and vaulted to her seat

heads. and with q nod of her head she
was off to the west to find a clear
road to the enemy's lines.

l whispered as we rode on in silence.

piled as he uncovered his head. TO

lBlaine's Successor.

john Watson Foster was born in
Pike county, Indiana, March 2, 1885.
He was graduated at the Indiana
State University in 1855, and after
one year at Harvard law school was
admitted TO the bar and began prac-
tice in Evansville. He entered the
national service in 1861 as major of
the 18th Indiana infantry. After the
capture of Fort Donelson he was pro-
NOTED to lieutenant-colonel, and sub
sequently was made colonel of the
Goth Indiana mounted infantry.
Later he was appointed colonel of the
l|6th Indiana regiment. During his
entire service he was connected with
the Western armies of Grant and
Sherman. He was commander of the
advance brigade of cavalry in Burn

Journal, and in 1869 was appointed
postmaster of that city. He was sent
as United States minister to Mexico
by President Grant in 1873, and reap
pointed by President Hayes in 1880.
In March OF that year he was trans
ferred to Russia, and held that mis-

resigned to attend to private bust
ness. On his return to this country
Col. Foster. established himself in
practice in. international cases in
Washington, ID. c., acting as consul
for foreign legations before courts of

President Arthur appointed him min
lister TO Spain, and he served from
February, 1888, till March, 1885, when
he resigned and returned TO the
United States, having negotiated an
important commercial treaty with
the Spanish government. This treaty
ELECTED general discussion and was
strongly opposed in the senate. That
body failed TO confirm it, and it was
afterward withdrawn by President
Cleveland for reconsideration. Some
weeks later Gen. Foster was
