An Ancient Work Of Art.

A painting of the infant Jesus in the
possession of New York family has a
curious history. 1t was sold to mem
Der of the family many years ago, and
the merchant declared his belief that il
was Guido Rene, although he was toe
honest to certify to the fact. Years
later the purchaser saw in print shop
an engraving of Madonna and Child
and recognized reproduction Of part
of his picture. He turned the picture
over to a cleaner of oil paintings, and
the latter, on taking off the frame, dis
covered part of the canvas doubled
upon itself. Spreading out the whole
canvas, he began to scrape at the point
where, according to the engraving, the
Madonna should be. In due time he
was rewarded, for the Madonna's face
appeared, and the painting was plainly
the original of the engraving. The Lat
ter was labeled as from Guido Rene.

CHAPTER XIIL-CoNTINUED.
The obsequious major in command,
gorgeous in new uniform, moved by
his side with an exaggerated Difference
all the more notable from his usual
self-importance. But very grave and
stern were the veterans set lips, as he
turned often to the aid beside him, in
structing entries in the book he bore.
But out of the grave, firm face the
eyes CLEANED pityingly and surprised
along that long and hideous line; and
more than once they fingered long
and painfully upon some object more
pleading than its neighbor, in the suf-
'fering stamped upon bent frame and
worn face. Once the veteran turned
abruptly to the aid, cutting in mid
flow some unheard comment of the
prison commandant, with the quick,
impulsive speech:
my God! captain, we have both been
somewhat in the front; | have heard of
the horrors of war; but never have
seen them until nowr'
Behind the general strobe tall, SOL
dierly man, wrapped in long cloak,
but wearing neither plume nor rank
marks on his hat. As the inspection
halted in front of Evans squad, this
man moved nearer, and, saluting, said
loud and clearly;
THE McHenry prisoners we saw in
Baltimore Sunday, sir"
Then, fixing his gaze full upon Evans,
he forced his attention, and, opening
his cloak as though to readjust it, dis
played his full figure A hot flush rose

in contemptuous whisper. Better ex-
anime his papers carefully. He is one
of those detective fellows"
By his lantern the young officer read
Evans extended pass half aloud:
Please permit bearer to board and
leave all trains, at any point, for public
service. ALLAN PINKERToN.' I'm! that's
all right. Let me see your railroad
pass"
For a single second Evan felt his heart
up in his throat and chill creep down
his spine. The next, his presence Of
mind came promptly to the front, and
he drawled, insolently:
81 am not a soldier. Don't ride on
passes. We buy our tickets" And,
pocketing his permit, the rebel coolly
sauntered past the guard, and loudly
demanded at the window a ticket for
Washington.
"Insolent young guy, that" Fitzhugh
consoled the wrathful sub. What
causes this unusual care?
"a prisoner escaped. We got one Of
them but the other fellow cut. We are
to search every train. Say, Pinkerton,
he called suddenly, 81 impress you into
service to search this train with us"
The red eye Of a locomotive peered
around the curve, as it pulled up to the
station and stopped. The soldiers, de-
ployed along the platform, sprang
aboard every car, Evan calling to the
heutenant's squad:
He'd never hide in the baggage,
greenies. Search the frst-class." And
he entered a Pullman sleeper, search
ing for himself.

70 the young scouts face, and the prison
languor, already beginning to creep into
his eyes, was burned out of them by the
glow of angry contempt that met the
others stare. With one quick step in
front of his line. he folded his arms and
cried
80, tbs you come to taunt us, Peyton
Fitzhughl Here, boys" He turned to
the line, pointing straight at the tall
spy. "Be men once more! Give one
:groan for that Virginia deserter!"
Electrified by his voice and mien,
catching the full force of his taunt,
those worn, listless men, i'll, starved
and broken in body as they were, re-
membered they were soldiers still.
Turning with one impulse upon the spy,
they gave one hearty, kissing groan of
contempt But the object of their
wrath, standing cold and unmoved,
changed neither pose nor feature; and
his voice rang out firm and clear as he
answered:

ex-Premier's Residence.
MADRID, June 20.-A large dynamite
bomb was exploded at midnight few
feet from the house OF Canovas del Ca
prilla, ex-premier. The explosion was
heard throughout the city. The imme-
diate district was shaken as by an
earthquake. Three policemen ran to
the spot and found the dismembered
a man crawling down the street on bic
hands and knees. When arrested he
refused to say what he knew of the ex-
plosion, but complained that he was
severely wounded. One of his legs was
broken, his scalp was torn, and his face
covered with blood. He was taken to
the police station and identified as one
of three men who were seen standing
near Canovas' house just before the ex-
plosion. Many houses in the neighbor-
hood were badly damaged. Windows
were shattered and walls sprung, but
none OF the occupants were injured.
The news of the explosion spread
throughout the city before o'clock. All
the cabinet ministers and conspicuous
deputies called upon Conovas at once to
congratulate him on his escape. 1t was
reported at 12 80 that man with a
petard under his coat was arrested near

Bad weather Checks the Attendance.
Many Interesting Features.
CHICAGO, June 20.--The day opened
hot, but with fieecy clouds and a good
breeze which made getting about in the
fair grounds quite uncomfortable. Peo-
Pile began pouring into the grounds
early, an unusually large proportion of
them giving evidence Of being visitors
from outside the city, taking their hrHt
view. BY 10 O'Clock 1t WAS estimated
that 35 900 to 40 900 had passed the
turnstiles, and Chief Tucker of the
bureau of admissions was of the opinion
that nearly 100000 would be the days
record.
About noon the weather changed and
in a short time rain was coming down in
torrents, and the prospects for big at
tendance we're ruined. The weather
continued stormy the remainder OF the
afternoon and evening.
The big Ferris wheel will be dedicated
tomorrow with appropriate ceremonies.
The exposition authorities have set
apart October 20tn to oath for big re-
union OF war veterans, both conieder-
ates and union. Grand Army poate will
make efforts to bring al old soldiers to

the world's fair was dedicated with sim
pie ceremonies today. The Iowa state
band furnished the music for the oc-
caeion.
Oregon is one of the states that will
receive daily shipments of fruit and
vegetables in season. Tho frat ship
ment of strawberries arrived today and
came out crisp and fresh as the day
they were picked. Oregon inaugurated
today daily telegraphic statement of
crop prospects and conditions in the
state, and it proved quite an interesting
feature.
In the -four tests made today in the
Agricultural building Oregon -four Yves
found to be superior for whitenessa and
amount OF gluten.
Canada outstripped the competition
in the June exhibit Of cheese. There
were 1877 exhibits, mostly factory

enough to win medals or diplomas, l26
of them being OF Canadian manufacture.
Thirty-one Canadian lots scored higher
than any from the United States, rang.
