TIE MOTHER WANTS HER BOY.

There's homestead waiting for you, my boy,
In quaint, old-fashioned town;
The gray moss clings to the garden wall
And the dwelling is low and brown,
Buta vacant chair by the freside stands,
And never grace is said
But mother prays that her absent son
Soon may be homeward led,
For the mother wants her boy.
She trains the vines and tends the flowers,
For she says: my boy will come;
and I want the quiet, humble place
To be just the dear old home
That it seemed when he, gentle lad,
Used to pluck the orchards gold
And gather the roses and lilies tall,
Far more than his hands could hold,
And still want my boy"
How well she knows the very place
Where you played at bat and ball.
And the violet cap you wore at school
Still hangs on its hook in the hall
And when the twilight hour draws near
She steals adown the lane
To cosset the lambs you used to pet
And dream you are home again
For the mother wants her boy.
She is growing old and her eyes are dim
With watching day by day,
For the children nurtured at her breast
Have slipped from her arms away;
Alone and lonely she names the hours,
AS the dear ones come and go;
Their coming she calls "the time Of flowersl"
Their going "the hours Of snow!"
And ever she wants her boy.
Work on, toll on-giye strength and mind
To the task in your chosen place,
But never forget the dear old home
And the mothers loving face!
You may count you blessings score on score,
You may heap your golden gain;
But, remember, when her grave is made
Your coming will be in vain
tbs now she wants her bog.

which he had heard so much, would
have impressed CORTLAND; now he was
only interested in it on account of the
inconceivable position in which it left
Miss Sally. Had she anything to do
with this baleful cousins return-or
was she only to be helpless victim of
it?
A white, dazzling and bewildering
fash of lightning suddenly lit up the
room, the porch, the dripping ailantus
and the flooded street beyond. 1t was
followed presently by crash of thun-
der, with what seemed to be a second
fainter flash of lightning, or rather as
if the first flash had suddenly ignited
some infammable substance. With the
long reverberation of the thunder still
shaking the house, CORTLAND slipped
quickly out of the window and passed
down to the gate.
Ibid it strike anything, sah?" said the
startled negro, as CORTLAND returned.
Not that | can see, said his employer
shortly $50 inside and call Zoe and
her daughter from the cabin and bring
them in the hall. Stay till l come. CO.

st must have struck somewhere, sab,
shuah. Deh's a pow'ful smell of sulphur
right here" said the negro as he left the
room.
CORTLAND thought so too, but it was
a kind of sulphur that he had smelt
before-on the battle field! For, when
the door was closed behind his over
seer, he took the lamp to the opposite
wall and examined it carefully. There
was the distinct hole made by bullet
which had missed CatO's head at the
open window by an inch.

moonlight. A suppressed shout greeted
him and half a dozen mounted men.
masked and carrying rifles, rode down
towards him. But he remained quietly
waiting there and as the nearest ap-
preached him he made step forward
and cried: "Halt!'
The men pulled up sharply and me-
chanically at that ring of military i'm
periousness.

CORTLAND.

The man hesitated and looked inter.
negatively toward his fellows. 81 al
low you've got us there, con'nle," he
said at last with lazy insolenee of
conscious power, "but | don't mind tell
ing you that we're wanting a niger
about the size Of your Cato. We hain't
got anything agin you, cun'nle; we
don't want to interfere with y0ur prop
erty, and your ways but we don't cal
culate to have strangers interfere with
our ways and our customs. Trot out
your nigger-you no'th'n folks don't
call nm property you know-and
we'll clear off your land"
And may ask what you want of
Cato?' said CORTLAND, quietly.
ITO show him that all the federal
law in HI won't protect him when he
strikes white man. burst out one Of
the masked figures, riding forward.
Then you compel me to show you, {"
said CORTLAND, immovably, what any
federal citizen may do in defense of fed
eral law. For I'll kill the first man
that attempts to lay hands upon him on
my property. Some of you who have
already tried to assassinate him in cold
blood, in your own limits, have met
before in less di honorable warfare
than this, and they know | am able to
keep my word"
There was a moments silence: the
barrel of the revolver he was holding
by his side glistened for an instant in
the moonlight, but he did not move.
The two men rode up to the first speak
er and exchanged words. A light laugh
followed, and the first speaker turned
again to CORTLAND with a hooking
politenesS.
Very well, connie, if that's your
opinion and you allow we can't follow
our game over your property, why we
reckon we'll have to give way to those who
can. Sorry to have troubled yOu. Good
night"
He lifted his hat ironically, waved it
to his followers, and the next moment
the whole party were galloping furious
ly towards the high road.
For the first time that evening a nerv-
Gus sense Of apprehension passed over
CORTLAND. The impending of some I'M
known danger Is always more terrible
to brave man than the most over
whelming odds that he can see and
realize. He felt instinctively that they
had uttered no vague bravado to cover
up their defeat; there was still some
advantage on which they confidently
reckoned-but what? Was it only a
reference to the other party tracking
them through the woods, on which
their enemies now solely relied? He
regained Cato quickly; the white teeth
of the foolishly confident negro were
already flashing his imagined triumph
to his employer. Courtland's heart grew
sick as he saw it.

There was a moment of silence. Then
II was broken by a sudden gust that
swept through the columns Of the por-

leaves Of the ailantus began to rustic:
AN ominous pattering followed; the rain

rose and walked towards the open win

From the Atlantic to the lakes
The scenic Reading Railroad Route.


| Whether for business travel or for
pleasure touring there is no more de-
| hghtful route from East to West. or
| from West to East, than the :. Scenic
Lehigh Valley" line of the Reading
Railroad System. The road itself, It's
equipment, appointments and manage
ment are unexceptionable IN all respects.
| The trains are the finest that have ever
been placed upon the rails anywhere. A
| feature is the feet and powerful locomo-
tives, which are fueled exclusively with
hard anthracite coal, avoiding the smoke
and cinder nuisance. Pullman palace
parlor and sleeping cars are run on the
through trains. The coaches are more
than comfortable-they are luxurious,
and they always show plainly that am
pie attention is bestowed upon their ven
ti,ation, heating, and cleanliness. The
train and stalon employees ale notably
courteous and oDliging, furnishing re-
freshing contrast in this respect to the
officials OF some other roads, who appear
to fancy that their blue and brass con-
stitute them the publlc's masters instead
of its servants. A perfect system of
train running and an improvement upon
the block signal system ensure the ut
most attainably degree of speed,
promptitude and safety in the movement
of trains.
These are the essential and material
points of excellence consplcuously appa-
rent upon this excellent road. 1t is in
its aesthetic aspects, however that this
popular line of travel is most unique and
attractive. Probably nowhere in Amer
ica, certainly nowhere East of the Rocky
Mountains. is to be found such sublime
ly bewilderingly beautiful scenery as
that which has made the Lehigh Valley
a synonym for all that is grand and pic
turesque in nature. Through its entire
length runs the Lehigh Valley Division
of the Reading Railroad System, and
from the car windows of his smoothly
gliding train the traveller. unless he be
wholly callous and insensible to natures
loveliness, has his soul filed with de-
light by the glorious landscape panora-
ma which is unrolled before him Range
upon range OF lofty mountain peaks J;
smiling sunlit valleys deep, sombre ra-
vines; romantic glens. adown whose
sleeps fall sllvery cascades while al
way close beside the tracks, the swift
river rushes nolsily over its rocky bed.

"Complete Passenger Service" !"

Mr.. Fred L. Chase, of Phil
adelphia, the genial and popular
Travelling Passenger Agent of
the Chicago & Alton Railroad,
was in Chicago in February
and was met there by O.
S. Freeman of the RECORD, on his
return from Kansas City via the
Alton road. AS Mr.. Freeman was
then en- route to ST. Louis Mr..
Chase suggested that he go by the
C. &. A., and remarked that he
might be able to see some addi-
tional features of that system
worthy of commendation.
The excellent service which this
road claims to furnish is without
question the best running out of
the 'sCity by the Lake The cars
are models of completeness, and
the reclining chairs provided free
on night trains are luxuries of
which any road might well be
proud. The train service is com
plete and the time made is the very
best. The line is through fertile
section of country which must be
exceedingly attractive at any time
of year other than during the pre-
sent winter, and persons travelling
from Chicago to ST. Louis or Kan
sas City will do well to G by this
line.

valuable features this year. In addition

be made. Its ready-reference index and
other features make it so easy to use that
we wonder how any traveller can be with
out one. BY freely consulting it while

times the twenty-five cents it costs. All

Why We Advocate Mr.. Slater

Why We Advocate Mr.. Slater.
This paper advocates the eleva-
ton of Jno. J. Slater to the posi-
ton of Mayor of this City after
carefully investigating the wants
of the tax payers, believing it to be
the duty of the press to serve the
public regardless of private opln-
ion. A person having served one
term is only entitled to another
when he has proved himself for
the people and careful of their in
terests, not otherwise.
Those who have been running
things to suit themselves instead
of the tax payers are in favor of
our present Mayor, but Mr.. 5. does
not rely upon any clique or faction;
he is in league with none and leaves
the public to decide the issue.
Our present want seems to be a
man who is under no personal
pressure; one who can say No, when
the occasion demandsit.

Continued from First Page)

o'clock consent was given to Mr.. Vest to
conclude his remarks. He declared that 1t
was the policy of the republicans to have.
not compact continental republic, as the
fathers established, but to have a great
expansive territory acquiring government
extending to the islands of the ocean, and to
the uttermost parts OF the earth. He dis
sented from the views ascribed to Mr..
Gresham, the Secretary of State, and as
serted that the provisional government of
that de facto government had the rights
OF a de jure government SO far as other
nations were concerned. And he added that
any assault upon that de facto government
by armed forces of the United States would
be an act of war which could alone be
brought about by an act of Congress.
An Act of War.
Mr.. Vest declared in conclusion that, If
he had the power. he would withdraw every
shadow of United States authority from
the Hawaiian Islands and would leave the
opposing factions to settle the question of
sovereignty for themselves. For the United
States government to put the queen back
on her throne would be an act of war and
he did not believe that the President con-
templated any such thing
