the amount Of time given and energy
expended, and care taken for these
friendless little ones by the lacy
managers. Under the very wise oil
rection of the President OF the board.
Mrs. DIR. j. c. Hupp, all
the interests OF the Home are
carefully and closely watched. The
comfort of the children Is looked after
every day, and household goods ana
supplies zealously guarded and the ex-
penditure OF money is most 1udiclousiY
made. 1t is well to take thought OF
the constant anxiety, and perpetual
planning all this requires. The many
demands made on their time and pa
thence by worthy and unworthy apple
ants, and the wise Determinations nee
essary to enable the managers TO De truly
charitable in real sense and not 10
permit the funds committed to their
trust to be applied to undeserVing per-
sons. cannot but be- burden some
times hard to bear; but which Is cheer
fully borne by these Christian women
for the sake OF Him who said, "lnas.
much as We did it unto the least OF these
little ones We did 1t unto me-" And
this blessed work for these sad and suf-
fering innocent little one has Its own
reward. Could all OF the supporters OF
the Home see the effect OF kind words,
suitable food and clothing, cleanliness,
and educational and religious nurture
upon these little ones, many or whom
have never known such attentions,
they would be delighted with the re-
suits of their benevolence. To bring
comfort to little frozen bodies, food to
little mouths that are hungry, and cause
a smile OF gratitude and satisfaction to
play ever little faces formerly showing
nothing but distress, sorrow and suffer
ing, has reward far beyond the outlay.
If, as il is said, man who causes
blade Of grass to grow where formerly
there was none, is to be called public
benefactor, much more is he who
saves young life from almost certain
ruin, and makes it a blessing. 1t is
with sincere regret that are obliged to
chronicle the death Of one OF the
Homes most liberal supporters, Mr..
Jacob Wise. He was deeply interested
in the cause Of the helpless. THE
memory OF the just is blessed"

doned. Indeed he had barely time to
check an exclamation from the negro
before the dull gallop Of households in
the open ahead Of them was plain to
both of them. 1t was a second party of
their pursuers, mounted, who had evil
IDENTIFY been sent to prevent their final
egress from the woods, while those they
had just evaded were no doubt slowly
and silently following them on foot.
They were to be caught between two
fires.
What is there to the left of us?'
whispered CORTLAND, quickly.
''De swamp"
CORTLAND set his teeth together His
dull-witted companion had evidently
walked them both into the trap.
Nevertheless, his resolve was quickly
made. lie could already see through
the thinning fringe of timber the fig
ures of the mounted men in the moon
light.
This should be the boundary line of
the plantation? This field beside us is
ours?' he said, interrogatively.
YES" returned the negro, ''but de
quarters is mile furder."

was a mere black silhouette, broken
only by bright, silver openings and
gaps along its surface that indicated
the moonlit field beyond. At first
CORTLAND saw nothing else. Then he
was struck by the fact that these OPEN
ings became successfully and regularly
eclipsed as with the passing of some
opaque objects behind them. 1t was a
file Of men on the O'her side of the
fence, keeping in its shelter as they
crossed the field towards his house.
Roughly calculating from the passing
dissertations, there must have been
twelve or fifteen in all.
He could no longer doubt their COM
bined intentions, nor hesitate how to
meet it. He must at once make for the
quarters with Cato, even if he had to
cross that open field before them. He
knew that they would avoid injuring
him personally, in the fear of possible
federal and political complications, and
he resolved to use that fear to insure
Cato's safety. Placing his hands on
the negros shoulder, he showed him
forward, falling into flock step" so
close behind him that it became i'm
impossible for the most expert marks
man to fire at one without imperiling
the others life. When half way across
the field he noticed that the shadows
seen through the openings of the fence
had paused. The ambushed men had
evidently seen the double apparition,
understood it, and, as he expected,
dared not fire. He reached the other
side with Cato in safety, but not before
he saw the fateful shadows again mov-
ing, and this time the other way.
They were evidently intending to
follow the fugitives But once within
the woods CORTLAND knew that his
chances were equal. He breathed more
freely. Cato, not less agitated, had
even regained something of his former
emotional combativeness, which Court
land had checked. Although far from
confident of his henchman's prowess in
an emergency, the prospect of getting
him safe into the quarters seemed
brighter
1t was necessary also to trust to his
superior woodcraft and knowledge of
the locality, and CORTLAND, still walk
ing between him and his pursuers and
covering his retreat, allowed him to
lead the way. 1t lay over ground that
was beginning to slope gently; the I'M
derbrush was presently exchanged for
springy moss; the character of the
trees changed; the black trunks of cy-
presses made the gloom thicker. Trail
ing vines and parasites brushed their
faces, current of damp air seemed to
flow just above the soil, in which their
lower limbs moved sluggiShly as
through running water AS yet there
was no indication of pursuit. But
CORTLAND felt that it was not aban-

MORE PENNIES IN THE SLOT.
A New Machine Which Gives the humble,
of Spectacles.


A use of the automatic box or penny
in-the-slot craze has been made by a
London optician. He keeps stand at
railway stations and other public
places, so constructed that a penny
dropped in lights up the inside of sort
OF stereoscope-like arrangement where
a page of type can be read through va.
rious numbered glasses, which are
changed by turning a knob. When one
strikes glass that enables him to read
the type comfortably he notes the num-
Der, which corresponds to the sort of
spectacles he wants.
At the side of the machine banp a
number of order blanks, in which he
only needs to fill in that number, with
his name and address, and to send a
2s. 6d.-sixty cents-postal note to get
apair OF glasses by return of post. The
order-blank can be posted or dropped in
a locked receptacle on the machine.
More people get their eyes tested than
order glasses, no doubt But they nav
their pennies for that privilege, and the
light is covered up just as soon as they
step off the platform, consequently the
machine pays It's way, besides being a
good advertisement for the proprietor's
wares.-Jeweler's Circular.

tween the little hillocks. To cross the
open field and gain the fringe of woods
on the other side was the nearest way
to the quarters, but for the moment
was the most exposed course; to follow
the hedge to the bottom Of the field and
the boundary fence and then cross at
right angles, in its shadow, would be
safer, but they would lose valuable
time. Believing that Cato's vengeful
assailant was still lowering near with
his comrades, CORTLAND cast quick
glance down the shadowY line of Usage
hedge beside them. Suddenly Cato
grasped his arm and pointed in the
same direction, where the boundary
fence he had noticed "a barrier of
rough palings-crossed the field. With
