Lord Crewe once, on the occasion of
some charitable entertainment, leaned
UP against a corridor wall, fast asleep,
with his hat in his hand. Some wild
young men started dropping coppers and
half crowns into the hat until the. .chink-

ing to follow him as he disappeared
down the highway, having a dim sus-
picion of the state of affairs. when Ike
knocked at her window and was admit
ted. In less than minute he had re-
lated what he saw outside, and she had
told him of Uncle Ben taking the gun.
"Whar's he un bound fur?" queried
Ike.
Dunno, but sunthin' 8 happened sum-
wharf Yo' must foller him!''
HAS that Yankee bin ye.e?''
.'No, but the gals hearn news, fur
shore! Reckon he un may be lyin out
around yere sunawhar, a1d the nigger's
takin out stuff to him! Git right arter
he un, Ike, and if yo' find the Yankee
go'n tell Captain Wyle and hev him
cum with his critter company
''I'll do bette1'n that" grimly 1e-
Piled the man as he stepped ont into
the night. IF find that Yankee around
yere, I'll put bullet into him fust and
tell Captain Wyle next!''
Uncle Ben had only few hundred
yards the start, and the man on his
trail soon lessened the distance until he
could hear the old mans footsteps and
make out shadowy form through the
darkness. There seemed nothing more
certain than that he would follow on
and uncover the hiding place Of the fu-
gitives. For nearly three-quarters of a
mile the slave messenger had but one
idea-to return to Steve Brayton as fast
as possible. He was hurrying along
when sudden thought flashed through
his brain, and he instinctively stepped
aside and halted to listen.
sHow do know but what dat wom-
an dun heard me git de gun an is fol-
lerin me?" he whispered to himself.
She'd do it! She's powerful wicked,
she am! An mebbe some mo- of dem
gorillas am waitin long yere to grab me
an giY me anodder whippin."
He was listening as well as whisper
ing, and after a mi, lte he heard the
sounds of footsteps coming down the
road. He drew back into the deeper
shadow of the high bank, dropped his
bundles, and taking firm grip Of his
gun he mentally resolved to make
fight for it if he was overhauled by the
same crowd as before. A few seconds
later he realized that only one person
was approaching. The footballs were
too heavy for woman. He had just
decided this point when a man loomed
up in the darkness before him and halt
ed almost within arms length to NUT
ter:
''Drat my hide, but has that ole mig
ger left the road an Civ me the slip? 1
heard he un only mint ago. but him's
dun gone now
1t was Ike Baxter of course. He stood
peering and listening for half a minute
and then growled:
II orter hev run he un right down
an made him show me the way! Now
the cussed Yankee may git away from
me! No, he won't though! I'll hunt
over every foot Of this country but what
I'll find him an hev his scalp!''
Uncle Ben did not recognize the man
at all, as it had been many months
since he had heard Ike Baxter's voice.
It was instantly plain to him. however,
that the man was determined enemy
and was seeking Royal Kenton's life.
Ike took three or four steps forward and
stopped again to listen. Noiselessly
and with such a feeling as he had never
experienced before Uncle Ben dubbed
his gun, took one silent step forward

The Couch n Necessity.

There are times when so many of the
things that distract us could be straight
ened out and the way be made clear, If
only one had n long, comfortable couch on
whose soft bosom he could throw himself,
boots and brains, stretch his weary frame,
unmindful OF Tides and tapestry, close his
tired eyes, relax the tension of his muscles
and give his harassed mind chance. &
Ten minutes Of this soothing narcotic,
when the head throbs, the soul yearns for
endless dreamless, eternal rest, would mako
the vision clear, the nerves steady, the
heart light and the star of hope shine again.
There is no doubt that the longing to
die is mistaken for the need of nap. In
stead of the Immortality of the soul bust
ness, men and workingmen want regular
and systematic doses of DOING. And, aft
er a mossy bank in the shade of an old oak
that succeeding seasons have converted into
tenement of song birds, there is nothing
that can approach n big sofa or a low, long
couch placed in the corner, where tired ma
ture can turn her face to the wall and sleep
and doze AWAY the gloom, New York

Protection In the Scriptures.

fourth verse:
And when they were como TO Capernaum

ute?' 'tif 10 f
He saith, "Yes." And when he was come
into the house Jesus prevented him, saying,
"Wbat thinkest thou, Simon? or whom do
the kings of the earth take custom or tribute
--of their own children or of strangers?"
Peter saith unto him, "Of strangers"
Jesus saith unto him. "Then are the children
free"
Thus did Jesus determine in favor of
protection. Only by the taking of Gus
toms duties OF tribute from the strangers
were sthe children free" The inference
is that the direct taxation incidental to
free trade or "a tariff fcr revenue only"
