This information filled Mrs. Hatha

dence in lobe she FASTENED to consult
with him as to the course of action
which, under the existing circumstances,
seemed wisest.

1t seemed to be the only course left

low Jake, another household servant,
and thoroughly instructed him in the
part he was to perform. Then lobe,
with no thought of the miscarrying of
his plan, left the mansion for his self
imposed trip to the cutter.
Early the next afternoon Jake, with
a small lantern snugly hid under his
coarse jacket, left the house and en-
tered the woods to the west of the plan
tation, intending to work his way
slowly around TO the vicinity of the
fort, and the moment he discovered any
suspicious movement on the part of the
enemy hasten back to the sandy point,
in readiness to give, at the proper hour,
the warning signal to the vessels down

The Seven Rests In Disease.

Mention is made by Professor Hilton,
in his lectures on REST and Pain of
the seven varieties of the former obtain
able in the treatment of disease-name-
ly: Mental rest, bodily rest, combi-
nation of those two, as in that most per-
feet state of rest called sleep; organic
rest, as evidenced in the avoidance of
exertion in cardiac diseases; of talking,
in affections of the respiratory tract,
and in limiting, so far as possible, the
act of deglutition IN affections of the
alimentary tract by the substitution Of
enemata: local rest, as secured by
change in the position of body OF limb,
the use of pillows, cushions, ETC.; di-
etetic rest, by avoiding the too frequent
use of food and drink; lastly, medicinal
rest, in tho relief Of spasm by inhala-
tions and the not too frequent admins
tration Of medicines to the prejudice of
nutrients or stimulants. Professor Hill
ton lays it down as rule that, by a
consideration of the manner in which
these principles of rest may be best ap-
piled in each special case of disease, are
relief and comfort to be brought to the
sufferer and diseased action arrested.

MISS SCHULTZ-LANDER

MISS SCHULTZ-LANDER. about her toilets
and her beaux, and those Of US who adj
NIT remembering the time of her birth
will be catalogued as back numbers and
irreverently classified among the old TO-
gies.
Just at present, however, we are more
interested in Miss Ruth's governess, Miss
Jenny Schultz-Lander of Mansfield, o.,
whose appointment is a matter of legiti
mate interest to thousands of mothers
throughout the land. Miss Schultz Ian
der is young lady of German birth and
parentage, who came to America little
more than year and half ago and has
been teaching modern languages in Mans
field with considerable success. She is
beautiful, accomplished and well read
and speaks English, German, French and
Italian with fiuency and precision. 1t is
to her knowledge of languages that her
engagement by Mrs. Cleveland is princi-
pally due.
Miss Schultz Lander's hyphenated
name is a result of her mothers second
marriage. Her father name was Schultz,
and after his death, when her mother
married Herr Lander, the four children
of the first union added their stepfather's
name to their own patronymic. Miss
Jenny was born i'll Bonn about % years
ago and received most of her education
in that old university town, She had
also the advantage of two Years in a
French convent at Nillingcn, in Baden.
where she acquired her mastery Of French
and other languages.
There is said to be II romance behind
the coming of the Lander family to
America. in which ii young man from
Mansfield. who was Il student at Bonn,
plays leading part. He boarded with
the family during his student days and
fell in love with Miss Jenny, who re-
turned his affection. 1t twas not hard for
him to persuade the family of his sweet
heart that they could do better here than
at home, and they crossed the ocean.
His parents, however, were opposed to
his marrying Il foreigner, and he was
sent abroad once more, while Miss Jenny
l~n~o;",1lv devoted herself to teaching.

a deep sigh. Ralph will not land, for

Ralph's expedishun.
Hilda's heart grew heavy as she lis
tened, and all the horror of the coming
struggle rose before her. But not once
did that courageous heart waver. That
signal should be given.
But who should give it? A picket of
the enemy was at that moment stand
ing before each door. None of the serv-
ants, even if they could be trusted with
SO grave charge, could pass out of the
entrances.
"Oh, Ralph" cried Hilda to her
w p
you must not come up the bay tonight.
That signal must be given!'
She dare not go to her mother; she
dare not lose any time; she would go
then herself. Her plan had already
formed in her quick mind.
Diminishing Aunt Hannah with the
stern command to tell her story to no
one else, she ran quickly to her own
room. With eager hands she wrapped
up in the folds of huge cloak a Ian
tern, and tying stout cord around the
bundle succeeded in lowering it unno-
tlced from the window to the ground.
Then the short, stout dress she wore
was changed for most delicate silk;
her shoes were laid aside for the dainti-
est of slippers, and few minutes later,
clad in faultless evening dress, she
passed down the broad stairway to the
lower hall.
The sentry was pacing up and down
before the door in the track of light
that shone from the lamp in the hall,
and Hilda, throwing light covering
over her head, advanced toward him.
He was a young man of prepossessing
appearance, and at the vision of lowell
ness before him he paused and gave a
respectful salute.
MY evening dress in honor of your
coming, good sir, is not complete she
said. with charming frankness, with
out some of those dainty roses at the end
of the veranda. Will YOU pluck Il hand
full for me, or may pass out and pick
them for myself" and with breathless
anxiety she awaited his answer.
The sentry hesitated. He could not
leave his post. and he had orders to let
no one pass in or out. but this young
lady in evening dress, a tiny slipper

skirt and suggesting hose of snowy

20 God, make Ralph see the light!''

20 God, make Ralph see the light"
she cried.
Again and again the warning rays
flashed far out into the night, but no
returning light from the cutters showed
that they had been seen.
But there were other eyes neverthe-
less that did see that light upon that
point. Up at the fort that signal was
observed, and great yell OF batfied rage
arose from the watchers as they saw the
CLEAN that thwarted their purpose.
Those cavalrymen, too, dashing now
down upon the beach, beheld the Ian
tern rays and spurred their horses for
ward to reach and arrest the fair maid
that waved it. Back some rods, crouch
ing now in their ambuscade, was also a
body of men who beheld that flashing
light. They can discern, moreover, the
dark form that so persistently repeats
the signal which battles all their hopes,
and score of men are instantly detail
ed to advance and arrest the bold in
truder.
The keen ears of Hilda detected their
approaching tread, and she recognized
her danger.
80 God" she prays again, make
Ralph see the light ere they can reach
me!''
Then she swings the lantern frantic
ally above her head, and away down
the bay there CLEANS light in answer.
The signal is seen! Ralph and his men
are saved!
But what is that? The click of mus
kets is heard, and the voice of the Of
ficer of the detailed corps rings out in
anger, Take aim, fret
The lantern drops from the maiden s
nerveless hand. She draws her cloak
around her and silently bows her head
to her fate.
The next instant Il score of rifles blaze
forth their deadly contents, and she
falls dark and life less mass upon the
sand.
To the honor of the Confederate SOL
diers it should be said that they did not
suspect at whom they aimed their dead
ly fire. They thought only of the foe
that had thwarted their plans. When
they bent over fair Hilda's lifeless
form, and by the light of her own Ian
tern saw whom it was they had slain,
there was not an eye in all that COM
pany that could withhold the tear; not
a man but would have cheerfully given
his life to save her.
The squad of cavalry had now ar
rived, and with brief and 1egretful eX-
plantations they gently raised her up
and bore her sadly back to the home she
had so recently left, to the widowed and
now childless mother.
AS they laid her down upon her own
couch at the stricken mothers bidding,
it was the youthful soldier who had al
lowed her to leave the mansion that took
with reverent hand from her BOSOM,
where they were still lying, one of the
roses, which she had promised to give
him on her return. AS he held it up to
the light he saw on its snowy petals
few drops of her lifeblood. From that
hour he sacredly preserved the rose as
a memorial of the sad tragedy his in
discretion had caused.
Three days later Lieutenant Gasque,
under flag of truce, was permitted to
stand beside the widowed mother as she
buried her dead. Just as the sun was
setting they followed the ifeless form
of Hilda out to the family burying place
and laid her to rest beneath the live

There is u long, low, narrow, sandy
point running out and nearly cutting in
two one of the smaller bays on our
southern scaboard. Follow the shore
to the west ana south from this point,
and it soon rises into rocky bluffs or ele-
waited headlands. Follow it TO the west
and north, and it curves i1regularly for
a few miles and then becomes the left
bank of a considerable river.
From the extreme end of the sandy
point one has an uninterrupted view up
or down the bay, and signal light dis

A set of chessmen is usually an ineXpen-
sive thing, but it may cost as much as a
grand piano. OF course one may get small
set of ordinary lockwood chessmen for a
few dollars, finer set of lockwood and
ebony for SIP or SIS, and a set of Staunton
chessmen of the best African ivory, large
size, for SIS. And these are all plain sets.
If you indulge in fancy carving and have
your set made to order from a special de
sign and finely mounted, it may cost any
where from 500 to $500. For really eX-
pensive set, however the enthusiast usu-
ally chooses the precious metals, and there
is absolutely no limit to the cost.
