Nonsense. Haven't we''-
This is not the place to discuss prob
lens for which only our commanding
general Is responsible. Interrupted the
president LET the prisoner leave the
court.
Maynard was led away. and the court
proceeded to consider a verdict. There
was little time spent ON it, for there
was but one thing to do. and that was
tomake it guilty Of the charge and
guilty of the specification. Then be-
gan a discussion Of the punishment.
One Of the members stated that il was
personally known to him for fact that
the accused had one year before visited
Chattanooga as spy, when the place
was held by the Confederates. had been
captured, tried, condemned and SEN
fenced to be hanged; that Jacob Slack,
boy who was now serving as his or
derly, had been with him; that he had
contrived 20 get news of Maynard's con-
dition to Missouri Slack, his sister, at
Jasper, Tenn. that she had gone to
Chattanooga, had entered his Jail, had
exchanged clothes with the prisoner and
thus effected his escape; that he had
been concealed and afterward helped
through the lines by a Miss Fain. whom
he had married on reaching the Union
lines

cluded, could one whose life had been
saved by women carry ont o sentence

should suffer?''
The speaker knew nothing OF the re-
lations existing between Maynard and
Fitz Hugh 1t is impossible to know
what might have been the effect had he
possessed this knowledge The court
acted only ON tho information commu-
nicated by the officer who told the story
OF Maynard's experience as a spy. and
the main facts in this were known
throughout the army. The circum-

CHAPTER XXI.

AlllIAkN PROBLEM.
The events attending the capture and
escape of Caroline Fitz Hugh and the
dismissal of Colonel Maynard from the
service all happened in such quick sue
cession that Jakey Slack was not aware
OF what was taking place until after it
was all over. tft must be confessed that
Maynard had not treated his most de-
voted adhereatwith the consideration
he merited. Eur it is the way of people
who are rising TO eminence TO gradual
ly leave eff familiarity with tlroso for
merly most intimate with them.
Maynard had treated Jakey with
mock Difference, but had not thought of
leaning upon him for advice or strength,
much less comfort, and during the rag

that, though whole army condemned

hand. took that of Jakey, and, drawing
the boy toward him, folded him in his
arms. Thus do those who have been do
prived OF their greatness go back for
sympathy to those from whom they have
farthest departed.
Maynard held the boy against his
breast while he gave way to convulsiye
sobs such as arc unusual i'm man and

under an intense grief is relaxed and
suffering permitted to get control. Mel
ther spoke. Jakey's presence reminded
Maynard the more koenly of those he
loved. His mind had been upon his wife
and child. Jakey's coming brought also
Souri's image and the trials and tri-
umphs which he and Jakey and Souri,
had once passed together. and trials
and triumphs borne in company weld

Australian Facts Furnished by a News
paper Sent to Shenandoah Man.
In connection with the reports and dis
customs concerning the recent discovery
of gold in Australia, the HERALD, through
the courtesy of Justice John G Davis of
town, is able to CLEAN some facts from
The Age, newspaper published at Mel
bourne, Aust1 AHA. This paper states
that the Londonderry gold mine at Cool
gardie, recently purchased from the dis
coverers for e650, 900, cannot be exhausted
of its golden stone in whole generation
of mining operations. The Earl of Fingall,
who went from Coolgardie to London to
float the mine assured the shareholders
that the reef where now exposed would
go 5000 ounces to the ton, and that after
IL had been sunk for 20 feet t. would then,
though not so rich, yield 900 ounces to the
ton. In another item the paper says that
at an operation in Coolgardie known as
Mount Burgess 26S tons of ore were
crushed and yielded 577 ounces of retorted
gold. In another mine called the st.
George North, a fresh reef, two feet thick,
of solid quartz was struck. 1t showed
free gold and assayed at 8 ounces. Judg-
ing from these reports Australia is as
great gold country as ever.

troubled in a number of ways. In every
case whenever [ felt the slightest indis
position, l used the compound, and found
relief
zone thing noticeable in the Arctic
region was that the cold weather made
us all exceedingly nervous. We became
irritable and cross. Our nerves were all
unstrung, and naturally it affected our
health. / talked the matter over with
some of the others, and made up my
mind that possibly the celery compound
would be beneficial, for l knew that it
was used for nervous disorders at home
Well, sir, we tried it, and l must say that
it helped every one of us.
when the long night of six months
came on and we were in darkness, we
found that the effects were very depress
ing. Imagine, if Iyou can, living for six
months in darkness such as occurs here
every night, and you can readily under
stand how we were situated. 1t is won
der that some of us did not go mad We
had not very much to divert our atten
tion, and the effect was something like
solitary confinement in dark cell.

for dozen ills such as person is liable
to have at any time, and especially in
that desolate country. 1t has always
helped me, and l should be pleased to
have more of it should go north again.
81 do not know of any one thing that l
can say more of than Paine's celery com
pound. 1t certainly is great medicine,
and l am an advocate of it."

When I was selected by Lieut.. Peary to
accompany him on his trip to the Arctic
regions to try and find way to the north
pole" says Mr.. James W. Davidson, in
The Fourth Estate, ''it was partly because
Of my strong, healthy constitution, and
his belief that could endure the fatigue
and danger incident to the trip. I had
been associated with him as his business
manager on his lecturing tour, and was
on terms of the greatest intimacy with
him.
when the ship Folcon left New York
on her trip northwards it had among the
stores several cases of Paine's celery
compound. The reputation of that med
icine was well established, so that it was
the most natural thing in the world that
the members of the party, and they COM
prised men from nearly every walk in
life, from common sailors to men of
science, should desire to use it.
"The record of our perilous trip to
Camp Anniversary is too well known to
need repetition. Once in camp we nat
urally took an inventory of our posses.
sions, and l was exceedingly glad to find
Paine's celery compound. The medicine
chest was open to all, and we were free to
take from it what we thought advisable,
I, in company with several Others, Sc
lected some of the compound, taking a
bottle of it to my cabin, knowing that it
would be handy when wanted. Nor was
mistaken, for the excessive cold weather
soon had its effects, and l began to be
