dozen carbines were leveled at him, and
he was 8 prisoner in an instant. Ken
ton was too far away to hear what was
said, but we can relate it. Reube Par
ker no sooner found himself in the hands
OF the enemy than he asked for the cap
tain in command and said:
"I don't deny bein a scout, and yo'

with a pass signed by Gineral Jackson.

THAT'S what I mean"
"And where is he?"
Round yere sumwhar, I reckon. II
yo'll beat up the bushes purity lively,

"I,u have the locality searched, Of
course, said the captain after a long,
hard look at Reube, "but it strik.s
me you are a mighty mean man to give
your comrade away"

II drawled Reube, 'sand mebbe I'd bet

CHAPTER XIV.

Ike Bakers wife mace her way to
the Percy mansion to find everything in
confusion. Every neighbor had fed,
and such friends as remained were ex-
~aggerating the results Of Jackson's de-
feat and retreat. Reports were brought
In by this one and that one that Jack
son himself intended to burn the town
and leave only desolation behind him
as he fell back. AS a consequence,
though brave enough during the early
part of the day, night came to find Ma
rian and her mother full of alarm. This
was added to by Mrs. Baxter's appear
-ance. Her errand appeared to be to give
information of the servants who had
fled in terror, and in this way she
gained admission to the presence Of the
ladies, though as she left the kitchen
Uncle Ben shook his head and muttered
to himself:

folks tall, an I can't a-bear to hev 'em
around. / know dat man OBJ ners, an de
two ob'em together hain't wort shucks!!"
The Percys had heard a rumor that
several of the guards had been killed
or captured at Kernstown, but had no
reliable information. Mrs. Baxter gave
the number and their names. The last
name on her list was that Of Royal Ken
ton, and she added the information that
it was believed by all thu surviving
guards that Kenton was to be held re-
sponsible.

Marian as a look Of pain and surprise
came to he1 face. HE braved danger

"Everybody's cheerin and shakin

Wyle a lift, as she thought. and salts
fed for the time being she asked if she
could be of assistance during the alb
sence of the servants, adding that near
" the entire colored population of the
town had fed, and that most of them
would probably be picked up by the
Federals and sent north. Under the
circumstances her offer was eagerly ac-
copied, and she had gained the point she
was seeking. While Marian and her
mother were nervous and upset over the
situation, they had no thought of flight.

metal, than does the ploughman OF the
Mississippi valley for weeks steady
toll, laboring from SUNRISE to night.
The miner, worker in wood, fence
rider,n and even cowboy" is paid
more than he who turns the sod and
harvests the grain. Indeed, white
man who follows this as business
land many thousands do, earns less
money in a year than the contract
laborers of the Hawaiian Islands.
To substantiste my proposition L
will throw all plantations in Mime
sofa, Iowa, Missouri, West Texas,
Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas and
Colorado into one, and from 1t draw
one wheat farm carrying ten regular
laborers at what is termed twenty-five
dollars per month with board (Which
is above an average). Presumlng the
crop to be Spring wheat, three men
start to work (average) first OF March.
Carrying the crop through, harvest
ing, breaking and sowing again In the
Autumn, will close the years work
(average) about the 18th OF September.
Each man has had his board, slept in
the barn, and is in possession OF what
is left of Sl62 so. The ground frozen,
work is over for the Winter, two of
the ten men are selected to do the
chores about the barn-yard during the
Winter months, for which they re-
ceive board only, and the others are
discharged. The men retained have
a chance of getting through with
small saving; but the others have not.
With the latter, tens, hundreds and
thousands of men were discharged
from the plantations in every county
in that whole territory, and there Is
no work to be had. The Winter is
coming on. They break in swarms for
Topeka, Kansas City, st. Louis, Chi
cago, St. Paul and Denver.
Here some find employment, but
the greater number do not and lie
around cheap boarding-houses and sa
looms until the opening of spring
again, when they return to the fields,
without money, and after an almost
hard existence OF four or
five months. Thus, evening up, the
Chinaman of the Hawaiian Islands
has had the advantage by long odds.
He has worked nearly the whole time,
but he has had the most delightful eli
mate of earth for his labors; he has
not experienced the bitter GOODNESS of
a thermometer degrees to SO degrees
below zero; he has not shivered in the |
rain and sleet and suffered for the need |
of comfortable clothing; and, last, by
application to his work he has saved |
his money. And when the former |
was at his hardest task the heat was |
far more oppressive than the China
man had experienced here at any time |
during the year.
The climatic ranges are rs follows: !
