whom we all loved. Opposite sat her sister,
Miss Arlington, tall and dark-eyed, veri-
table New England woman, though New
York was the state of her nativity. Then
there were Miss Roland, music teacher, DR..
Roy our rising young physician, Miss Dean
teacher in one of the public schools, and
Molly Richards, school girl from st. Marys
Institute.
We were all rather proud of DR.. Roy, but
Molly called him conceited, and lost no OPP
portunity to discount his opinions.
Our latest acquisition was the Rev. Mr..
Otis, the new rector of st. PauPs church,
who would not bring his family from Boston
till spring. He was rather small, very grave
and dignitied and we all felt it difficult to get
acquainted with him.
Fanny's appearance among us caused no
little stir as she came in to serve at dinner
that first evening Mrs. Peck had said to
some of us that she had engaged new table
girl but we were entirely unprepared for
such a splendid vision Even the minister
forgot his usual abstraction and his eyes fol-
lowed her questioningly as they might follow
the flight of some brilliant bird which he was
unable to classify.
After the gentlemen were gone and we had
returned to the parlor some one rallied Mrs.
Peck on her acquisition, and the lady laugh
ingly admitted that she had been as sur
prised as any of US, for when she had last
seen the child she was prim little maid in
dark dress and white apron After that
the red tea gown was cruelty interdicted at
meal times, but Fanny was girl of resources
no,
to us.
Fanny" said Miss Arlington one day,
''you need some Bingham work aprons, 50
that you can save your white aprons to
wear in the dining room. Ask your mother
to get you some, when you go home"
Fanny said eyes maam'' and presently
went down street returning soon with a
package.
When her workswas done she retired to
corner, turned herSehair facing the wall, and
sat down to her work.
From the parlor we heard the click of her
scissors, but when Miss Arlington went out
staring at the wall.
'sWhat are you making, Fanny? Cannot
help your" asked Miss Arlington. ssNo,
ma am, answered Fanny. ST can do it my
own SELF
Fanny had decided genius in designing
her costumes, and at the same time she paid
us the compliment of copying any article Of
dress that struck her fancy.
few evenings later Miss Dean came in
from concert to find Fanny patiently posing
before the table on which lay her Bible, held
open by one finger adorned with huge brass
ring. Her yellow apron-wings stood up stif1y
and on her head rested navy blue bonnet
the exact counterpart of the one that gave
just the right finish to Miss Deans pretty new
suit.
On the evening of st. Valentines Day, as
Miss Dean came in from school, she found
Miss Arlington alone in the parlor, and so sat
down for a few minutes. ''Do you want to

for never saw soldier who was not ready
to protect the helpless.
1t was certainly child's voice heard, and
from direction where the enemy was ex-
pected. The cry was repeated, but did not
allow the impulse of humanity to lead me at
once to the rescue. It might be ruse of the
enemy to throw us off our guard
Again the cry was repeated, this time
nearer than before, so near, indeed, that I
could distinctly hear the sobbing of the
youngster, and the breaking of the dry twigs
under the little feet, as it helplessly CROPPED
about in the darkness, still calling out for
''Maum-ah!
Telling my men to stand ready, cooked
revolver, and without regard to the color or
sex of the little one, called out:
''Hold up, sonny, I'll help YOU

eyes, a sort Of one.''

eyes,
sob, fo de Lawd's sake, don you hurt me.
Don you hurt mer'
I had by this time stumbled on the child in
the darkness. I reached down and found it
was mite of thing, bare-headed and bare
legged, with only one cotton garment on. I
took it up in my arms, stilling its piteous
appeals not to be injured.
When I got behind tree, set my insg-
nificant burden down. struck match, and by
by the momentary CLEAN caught sight of
little negro, that looked to be all eyes and
the eyes all whites. I asked the child his
name, and as we could make nothing else of
the reply we decided it was "Goliah,' and so
We christened him on the spot
Having cooked rations in my haversack. I
gave Goliah something to eat, fixed up bed
for him with saddle blanket at the foot of
the tree, and within few minutes he was
asleep, but still sobbing.
When we were relieved at daylight. Goliah
was still asleep. He could not have been
more than six. He was as black as ebony,
needed washing very much, and was as bow
legged as pair of callipers. But the most
surprising thing about this youngster was
that his wool was an ashy red, like bunch of
fine iron wire badly rusted
AS it would not do to abandon the young
ster, council was held, and it was decided
to take him with US. l fed him again and I
must confess his appetite was so out of all
proportion to his little body, as to make it
seem phenomenal. One of the men tried to
explain it by saying: 81 reckon that ar little
nig's holler clear down to his toes
perehed the child before me on the sad
die, where he chung like a monkey, and when
l rode into our camp on the right of the line
before Vicksburg, created as much sensa-
ton as if 1 had brought the news of the sur
render of the city.
Soldiers are very fond of pets. They have
particular liking for dogs; eats will do if
nothing else can be had, and pet pigs, with
double use in view, were often great favorites.
We held a council of the officers in my COM
mand, and it was solemnly voted that Goliah
should be our regimental pet.
From the coat and trousers of dead SER
geant, we made Goliah uniform, not for
getting the chevrons, in which he took great
pride. A tailor in the command took charge
of the clothes, and he was placed inside dead

though there is no frost there. and SO
they never felt the cold. I shall never
forget how these and the other children were

with strips of bark for night dress, and then
their parents scooped over them the hot sand
1t was really very curious to see the black
heads sticking over the earth after the young
sters had gone to sleep. Irata and Tube in
sisted on my trying this sort of bed, and I
believe it restored me to health. Tube helped
her mother crush corn and pumpkin seeds in
rude stone mortar during the day, and when
not doing this she played with clay doll that
mad strip of cottonwood bark about its waist
ana daubs of red ochre on its face, and it was
as real and precious to her as is the wax doll
with the blond wig, to the child of civilization.
lrata could throw spear with wonderful
dexterity, and he was sklful in making nets
to catch birds and fish. These are the only
Indians in America who knew nothing about
the use of the bow
staid with the Moiaves three months, and
the children were in many respects like those
OF my own lace. I feel that owe my life to
lrata and his sister and since then I have
tried to show my gratitude. l will say ]

of them ever told lie.

see my valeNtines?" she asked, and exhibited
bag of marshmallows which one of her girls
had given her and tiny photograph of two
of her boys.
Fanny, who was spreading the table, looked
in from the doorway and mentally took notes.
An hour or two later she danced into Mrs.
Peck's room hugging close in her arms an
enormous wax doll.
"Why Fanny Lindsey" cried Miss Alling-
ton. s'Where did you get that great doIl?"
"It's valentine" declared Fanny, 81 Just
walked into the post office and said: Are
there any letter for Miss Francis H. Lindsey
and the man he gived me this
''But who sent it Fanny" still questioned
Mrs. Peck, ''and where is the wrapper?'
"Maybe my brother did, Idon't know. ANY,
way 1 am perfectly lighted" laughed Fanny.
Miss Arlington left Fanny rocking her baby
in a low chair by the fire and went first to the
post Office where she was assured no such
package had been received and then to the
leading fancy store where she found that
Fanny had bought the doll saying that her
mother would call and pay for it. AS Miss
Arlington climbed the hill her wrath rose
higher and higher till she confronted the Gull
prit still rocking and singing dreamily before
the fire. ''You bad wicked girl" she cried,
little out of breath, "what did you mean to
tell such dreadful story? have found out
all about it,
Fanny SMILED and wiped her eyes.

tines well as other folks. 1t did come from

The last sentence rose to scream.

A Charming Story of Child Life
Among the Savages.
How a Motave Boy and Girl saved the
Life of Miner stricken with Fever
Their Home and Pastimes.

lat the beginning of these sketches of child
life among the savages, it may be well to state
that their author, Captain Thomas E. Godfrey
is known to all his friends, which means every
boy and girl within miles of Valley Stream
Long Island, as Captain Tom" Captain
Godfrey is from Maine, and like many of his
neighbors in that part of Long Island he has
been a sailor, and as such visited every mari
time country in the world. When a young
man, he ran away from his ship in San Fran
cisco, to hunt gold, and so made the acquain-
lance Of many of the Pacific Coast Indian
tribes. Although confirmed bachelor, the
Captain has always been great favorite with
boys and girls of whom he is very fond, and
these sketches are written for their instruc-
ton and amusement.

two never did know who his master was, and
so long as he was fed and had place to
sleep, he was the personifcation of childish
happiness.
His cunning ways endeared him to the men,
who come to regard him as mascot.
In the game assault my regiment took part,
and supposed if we gave Sergeant Goliah
thought, that he was back in camp.
We were repulsed with severe loss, but
carried back with us our dead and wounded
A strong soldier laid down near the colors
the inanimate form of child who had fol-
lowed us to his death. We wrapped him up
in blanket, he looked to be asleep, and
buried him in line with our dead. We never
had another pet in our regiment.

you lebe me so?''
1t was about two O'Clock of dark, rainy
morning in May, 1868. I had command of a
picket post not far from the Big Black River,
beyond which lay Vicksburg, towards which
we had been making for days, and varying
the marches with many a hard fight.
The day before we had had severe battle
at Big Black Bridge. AS we came on, the
white women and children, and thousands of
negroes of all ages and both sexes, fed before
us from the many plantations along the line
of march.
Poor people, they were in sore alarm,
though there was no reason to be afraid of US,

she took her doll with her and next morning
saw lt7clothed i'll a dainty white baby dress
with crocheted sack and bonnet of brightest
orange wool.
Fanny" said Miss Arlington, one evening,
go up to my room and bring my thimble.
You may light the gas TO see.'' Fanny went,
and just then in came Molly Richards, with an
animated account of the first meeting of their
tennis club, and few minutes later Mr.. Otis
came in to say thathe should present his first
class for confirmation to the bishop the next
evening, and to invite Mrs. Peck to attend the
services.
In the midst of their conversation came
that sound we knew so well and we sprang to
our feet. s'Who is illp' cried the amazed
rector. Some one said Fanny" and led by
; Mrs. Peck and the minister, we hurried up
stairs. We no longer needed Fanny's cries,
orguided by the cloud of smoke which issued
from the minister's room we pressed to the
scene of disaster. The gas was turned high,
and the window draperies had caught fire
and were blazing to the ceiling, while a part
of the shade falling had set fire to the carpet.
The minister sprang to chair, tore down the
blazing curtain, Miss Arlington brought a
heavy rug and between them they had
smothered the flame before any one thought
to look for the cause of the mischief.
There she stood, with tears running down
her cheeks and to our own horror we saw
that she was fully arrayed in the minister's
vestments. His surplice was trampled and
twisted about her feet, his stole hung jauntily
over her shoulders, her pink bow was loos-
ened and stood upright on her woody braids,
her eyes were rolled up in utter despair.
For one dreadful instant we stared speech
less, then with another howl this clerical ap-
partition sprang by US, dived under our de-
tanning hands and fled down the hall till she
reached the haven Of her own room.
1t was the last tableaux; the curtain
dropped and we never saw the gay little act
ress again.
She had tormented us all, but in spite Of
her pranks we had enjoyed her, and never
ceased to regret the loss of our Fanny.

''Would you think, Tommy, that fist
would be cruel enough to fish for other
fishes?'
'Why not, mother, he has got to make a
living?"
but why does he not catch worms and
bugs and snails and live on sea-weeds. in
stead of catching little fishes?"'Z<
"HoW does he catch them, mother, and
what is his name? 1 never heard of such
fish"
'One thing at time. There are manv
Things, Tommy, that you know now, that you

thing to say, as many girls and boys do. when

Ii they don't inquire and read, and use their

did not learn before

and devour other fish,"
Eyes, Tommy, but this fish that I was
about to tell you of, is fisherman. and doe,
not chase fishes, but catches them as yor
do"
What, does he go out with fish-pole

pretty nearly! He is called the Lophim
or Fishing Frog, or by some the Frog Fish

with Its mouth wide open. On the front of

you would call them, being long fex-

end in silvery ornament like the
cracker on the whip. Then, as he lies there
almost invisible in the mud. he sees with bis

along, like boy going to school and looking
In the windows to find goodies"
Mamma, does he go to a school of fishes?"
Tommy, you must listen; when the little
fish sees this silvery bait dangling in the
water, he thinks it must be something GOOD
to eat, and says to himself, @ here is a
chance to get my dinner cheaply' So he
plays about it awhile, as the Lophius or
Ioafer as we had better call him, watches
the little fellow through half-shut eyes. Then
the little fish PUSHES at the bait and tries to
swallow it, when Frog Fish jumps forward
and catches the little fish in his big mouth
and devours him, while the mud stirred up at
tle bottom spreads in yellow cloud through
the water and hides the murder. -
