ON Recent statues.

Any foreigner who intends writing his
impressions Of the United States should
not fail to notice our statues aud in the
case Of the two erected Fourth Of July 10
New England he should certainly find
room TO say something. At Newbury-
port the figure Of Garrison in bronze was
uncovered, and at Bridgeport that o.
Barnum. The ordinary foreigner would
have mental struggle to comprehend
why the two cities should select such
different subjectsfor memory and honor.
but nevertheless any schoolboy could
explain the whole matter, though we
doubt If the foreigner would be wiser
even with an explanation from our most
enlightened citizens.-Providence Jour

all the pursuers could do he sat there

Constable Strobe Of West Grove and
Officer Graceof KeDnett Square, thelead-

were mistaken. The tah timber was
completely cut down before Mitchell
budged, and then he carefully rode down
on the fallen tree and bolted far into the
forest. The hunters were dumfoHnded.
They expected to see him instantly killed

While we are telling snake stories the
following good one comes to us from the

Little Big Black mountain is a ginseng
region, and the Parker family are noted
as ''sengers." The girls 60 out barefooted

infested with rattlesnakes and copper
heads, and dig the ginseng, for which
they get good prices at the stores, from

But along Clover gap and up Rattle
snake creek there are numberless rep

10 years of age, strong, healthy locking
and handsome, but with a very deter

often takes her winchester.
She goes after ginseng barefooted and
often alone. The roots are gathered in
May and September, and during the
month Just passed she did a thriving
business. One day, however, she came
across q den of rattlesnakes. She had
only stones and sticks with which to
fight the desperate battle. Some Of the
snakes were larger than n mans arm
and few of them as large as the calf OF
a mans leg. For hours she fought them
as they hissed and writhed and ratified
around her. But the brave, determined
girl battled with them until she killed

among the crevices Of rocks and in the
dense underground. When she had
crushed the last one to be seen, she count

have used lactated food successfully
where everything else failed. They say
that this food has kept their children

recommended it tofriends, who have had
the same happy experience,
The principal element of mothers

Of lact ated food. With it is combined
the nutritious elements of the great
cereals, wheat and barley, aud the neces

lactated food a perfect and natural sub.

CHAPTER III.
THE HIDDEN TREASURE.

A4AA|
After few months of married life
there seemed tocome some sort of change
over Robert Macaire. He seemed to get
rather more restless than he had been
and now and again had manifested sud-
den fits of passion. These occasions had
generally been when he had been refused
the loan of money by old Beaumont.
Marie tried to avert such difficulties
by keeping her husband supplied with
pocket money from her own earnings,
but his needs grew greater as the time
wore on. Marie, too, had a private
trouble, which was also a joy, coming
on, and she did not feel strong enough
to work as hard as she would have
wished. And SO the time passed until
the spring came round. Then, as the
days heightened, Robert grew later and
later in his hours for coming home.
More than few times had Marie to
make excuses to her father, who now
began to have doubts as to the wisdom
of the marriage. Sometimes when Rob-
ert came in he was in quite jubilant
mood and laughed and chuckled softly
to himself, while she, despite her true
affection for him, was afraid to appear
to be awake. At other times he would
be moody in his manner, with kind of
sullen ferceness which made her heart
beat with fear.
Once she awoke suddenly. The hour
was late, and her husband was not by her
side. She rose quietly and stole to the
cottage door with careful footsteps lest
she should awaken her parents. For
awhile she stood at the doorway peering
out through chink to see if she could
thus get any tidings of her husband.
There was no sign of any one about.
While she stood thus she heard a sound
in her fathers room and slipped back
into the shadow.
The door opened softly, and her father
came out. He went to the corner of the
little hallway and took his spade. Then
it dawned on Marie that he was about
to hide the money which she knew that
he had received for some beasts the day
before.
He passed out of the door, which he
closed softly behind him. Marie went
to the door again and looked through
the crack. She saw her father before
her passing silently out between the
shadows, and then she almost screamed
out, for little way behind him, passing
along in the shadow, she saw the form of
another man logging his footsteps. She
could not be certain, but she feared that
she knew that form only too well.
With her brain in whirl and her
heart as cold as ice she threw her cloak
around her and followed them.

court inquiry, and inquiry meant dan.
ger danger not only to herself. but tc
her husband. N 4
So with sick heart she went about
her household work, fearing something
new and more dreadful than the last
ct every sound that smote on her ear.
That day seemed to be Of endless
length. All the time she was possessed
of an absorbing desire to get away by
herself, even for few minutes, but
each time she made the effort some hor.
rid fate seemed to thwart her purpose.
At one time it was her mother wanted
assistance. at another it was that she
had to prepare the dinner for her father
and her husband, then neighbor drop.
ped in to gossip, and she dared not try
to get rid of her lest an action SO unusual
on her part should invite suspicion.
# illdoers only knew at the first what
misery there is to one and all who come
in touch with their crime. there would
perhaps be less i'll done in the worldl 1t
is pert, and large Fart, too, of the
devils opportunity that the conse-
quences-re1not as well as immediate
Of Lis service arc not apparent at the
first.
Robert did not come to dinner, but a Lit.
tie later he trr-led up, and as something
had to be got ready for him there was an.
other rostponement Of Marie's purpose.
He was in excellent humor and laughed
and hummed tunes and sang songs in the
merriest of strains. Marie, with heart
in her breast as heavy as lead and
weighed down morally with the terrible
doubts as to the propriety of her action,
had to listen and even to join in the mer-
riment. It seemed to her that she had to
endure martyrdom and that all those
whom she loved were in conspiracy to
cause her pain.
At last the day wore away, but with
out single opportunity of her hiding
away the money. In despair she took;
the earliest opportunity of going to bed,
alleging that she was tired. To her hor-
ror Robert said that he was tired also. as
he had not slept we'll the night before
and so would also retire to bed.
When Robert said that he had not
Slept Well on Jn0 previous night, his Ia
ther-in-law gave a quick, suspicious
glance under his eyebrows. No one
noticed it but Marie, to whom it brought
unspeakable anguish, for she knew that
suspicion once aroused on the old mans
part must unfailingly lead to discovery.
She seemed almost to see into her IA
theirs mind and to read there the inten-
ton of changing the hiding place of the
money.
Thus she was hedged with danger on.
every side. If her father should seek at
once to make the change. he would make
the discovery of the robbery, and if
search was made the money would &C
tually be found on her. If her husband
should seek to steal this night the money
from the place where he believed it to be
before she could dispose of it, he would
most likely suspect some trick and take
action accordingly. The result would
be that he would either get the money or
she would have to denounce him, and
from either alternative, it is needless to
say, she shrank

CHAPTER ".
THE GENDARMES.

There was but little sleep in the cot
tage that night. The whole party, ex-
cept Nine. Beaumont, were each trying
to outwake the other. Robert wanted
an opportunity to dig up the hidden
money, SO also Beaumont, and each with
an entirely different motive, while poor
Marie, with increasing dread, wanted to
be rid of the money at any cost, for she
feared that Robert might at any mo-
ment find it in her pocket, from which
she had not dared to remove it lest he
should discover her in the act. Added
to all this pain was the anguish of COM
ing motherhood and the fear that the
very strain which she was now undergo
ing might imperil the life of her unborn
child.
Seeing that she was not sleeping, Rob
ert in his impotence flung himself moi
silly about, and by the sound he thus
made in his impatient anger deferred the
old man from venturing forth to seek the
safety of his money.
When the little household assembled
for breakfast, Nine. Beaumont could not
understand why the two men were so
cross and tired or why Marie, with
flushed cheeks and eyes dim with wake
fulness, was yet of such exceeding gayety.
The poor girl was trying, as many poor
woman has done before her time, to con-
ceal the anguish of her heart under a
mask of cheerfulness. At such time the
eyes Of men and women are often hap
PLY blind, and the poor hunted soul had
little rest under the shelter of their ig-
norance. Only the eyes of God and his
angels never fail to look through the
mask and see the fluttering soul beneath.
All that day the same state of things
continued. Not one of those interested
would relax from their endeavor. To-
ward the evening the farmer, getting
desperate, took his spade and casually
announced his intention of doing little
work in the field stretching up the hill
side. This was beyond the copse where
the money had been hidden, so Robert,
jumping to his feet with alacrity, pro-
posed in hearty tone to aid him in the
work.
Again poor Nine. Beaumont was mys-
tilted at the sudden wrath displayed by
her husband as he told his son-in-law
that he wanted NO assistance. She mild
" interfered and said:
"But, my dear, would it not be well
to let Robert assist you in the work?
You have had q hard week of it, and you
are not so young as you were"
To which he made reply: "a hard
week Of it, and hard year Of it too.
Robert is not too ready to aid in the
work, and am not younger than I ever
was Robert can stay where he is or go
to the wine shop as usual That seems
to be more his home now than my house
IS"
