The Experience Of Man With Hens
aud a Bookseller.

Last spring, because my wife was
all run down and the children needed
outdoor life, We hired little place in
the country. Among other incon-
veniences there was hen-house on
the place, which inspired my wife
with the notion to keep poultry. She
bought lot Of Shanghais and Brah-
mas, and one day as was going TO
the city, she asked me to get book
about raising chickens.
Because" she said, ut will be so
nice TO have our own broilers in Sep

That evening, on my way to the
ferry, l stopped at bookstore and
inquired for The Snare of the Fowl

The man looked about on his shelves
for while and then came back empty
handed.
I'm sorry said he, "but we're all
out Just at present of The Snare :"
Here's another book, though, as good,
if not better"
l looked at the little volume. 1t
was full OF pictures and plans and
receipts and calculations of profits,
but it was the title that took my
fancy-"How to Make Money With 4
Few Hens" by James Pennybacker

CHAPTER XII.
The Veil Is Lifted,

About fortnight from the time OF
their departure the two travellers
reached town in Southern Indiana,
which we will call Madison. They
had travelled leisurely, stopping at
several places on the way Crom-
well had not ventured upon a second
attempt upon the life of Robert Ray
mond. The first failure had left on
his mind an impression of fear, and
he resolved that he would not again
attempt open violence. If anything
was to be done, it should be by more
subtle and hidden ways.
As for Robert, his first feeling of
suspicion was entirely dissipated.
He accepted Cromwelrs explanation
in good faith, and thought little
more about the matter, but gave up
his time and thoughts to the new
scenes into which each successive
day brought him He had not got
to like Cromwell, nor was there any
chance that he would, but the two
did not interfere with each other,
but kept by themselves so far as it
could be done under the circum-
stances. On arriving in Madison, a
town of which Cromwell had form
erly known something, they went to
the Madison house, as the hotel was
called. and entered their names. The
next morning Cromwell went around
to the village drug store, kept by an
old acquaintance, formerly a fellow
clerk, named Leonard Grover.
"How do you do, Grover??' be said,
as he entered the shop.
Grover surveyed him scrg:iniz-
ingly
Don't you know me?" asked
Cromwell.
What! James Cromwell? How
came you out here? And where have
you been for some time9 Sit down

Sir John Evans says that mot
even the trained antiquary is proof
against the forger, and confesses that
not only has he himself purchased
forgeries, but has published accounts
of them as if they had been genuine
accounts which any amount of

abound in every department of

CHAPTER XIII.

James lfomWelI dld not remain
at the Madison hotel. but secured
board for himself and Robert at a
private house in the village where
the only other boarders were a gen.
tleman and his daughter. The latter
was about nineteen, passably pretty,
and fond of attention. Her name
was Clara Manton. Her father was
in i'll health, and for a year or two
had been out OF business. He was
possessed of about $1,000 well in
vested and the income Of this sum in
a place like Madison yielded him and
his daughter a very comfortable sup
port
when Clara Manton heard that
they were to have two fellow board
ers, and that one OF them was a
young man, she determined. as she
expressed it to her friend. Louisa
Bates, Ito set her cap for him"
Would you marry him?" inquired
Louisa OF her friend.
LAS to that, ! cant tell. | haven't

agreeable, for all | know. But even
If he is, am going to aatter him
up, and make him fall in love with

tion.

find out how Mr. Cromwell stands in
that way, first"
When James Cromwell hrst made
his appearance at Mrs Shelby's
table, Clara Manton, who sat oppos-
lite, fixed her black eyes upon his
face, and examined him attentively.
As James Cromwelrs personal ap-
pearance has previously been de-
scribed, it will readily be believed
that Clara was not fascinated with
the retreating forehead, ferret-like
eyes, notified complexion and in
significant features
He's horrid ugly" she said to
herself Il don't think | ever saw a
homelier man. The boy is much bet
ter looking. | wish he were the
young man. There'd be some salts.
faction in exercising my destinations
on him. However, beauty is only
skin deep, and if Mr.. Cromwell has
got money, don't know that | would
object to marrying him. What l
want is a nice home and an easy life. |"
Tn sitting down to the table, she
was introduced by Mrs Shelby.
"How do you like Madison, Mr..
CROMWELL" she said, with much
suavity.
Pretty well, thank you, said
Cromwell, rather awkwardly, for he
always felt uncomfortable in the So
ciety of ladies, particularly if they
were young, or in any way pretty or
attractive. 1t might have been q
vague idea of his own personal dis
advantages that produced this feel
ing. but it was partly because he had
had very limited opportunities of be-
coming acquainted or associatiAg
with the opposite sex.
al am glad you like US well enough
to establish yourself here, said the
young lady graciously. 81 hear you
have gone into business in the VII
lage, so that we may hope to have
you as permanent accession to our
village society"
Thank you, Miss Manton, said
James Cromwell, trying to think OF
something more to say, but not sue
ceeding.

AN ARIZONA WONDER
A Mining Expert Discovers Natural
Bridge of Chslcedony.


Bridge of Chalcedony.
A mining expert, sent to investigate
some Arizona properties for Denver
capitalists recently, returned and re-
ports the finding of a most remarka-
bic natural bridge formed by tree of
agatized wood, spanning a canon for
ty-fve feet in width. The tree has at
some remote time fallen, when it be-
came imbedded in the silt of some
great inland sea or mighty water over
flow. The silt became in time sand
stone, and the wood gradually passed
through the stages of naturalization
until it is now a wonderful tree OF
solid agate.
In after years water washed and ate
away the sandstone until a canon
forty-five feet in width has been
formed, the finty-like substance of the
agatized wood having resisted the
erosion of the water flow. Fully fifty
feet Of the tree rests on one side and
can be traced, but how far its other
end lies buried in the sandstone can
not be determined without blasting
away the rock.
The trunk visible above the canon
varies in size from four feet to three
feet in diameter Where the bark has
been broken and torn away the
characteristic colors of jasper and
agate are seen. To the naked eve the
wood is beautiful. Under a micro
scope or miners magnifying glass the
briliiancy of the colorings are clearly
brought out in all their wondrous

The news brought in by the scouts
did not demoralize Captain Hugh Beat

get out of Tennessee without fight,
and If it had to come there could be no

would be fatal TO remain about the light
