tiful The birds were holding carni-
val all around. and the distant ring Of
the moving machine sounded In the
still. clear air. Early In the morning
II little figure crept from the little red
house on the terrace and across the
brook, and Jackie bounded gaily from
his bed under the lea of the wall and
rushed after. barking in eestatie Joy
at the prospect OF an early morning
walk. But the poor little woman, on
the border of the wood was forced to
turn and with tears streaming down
her face and choking voice bid him
go back and be on guard. Accustomed
to obedience he dropped to the ground
and watched her out of sight with
wistful, loving eyes.
Deep into the recesses of the maple
grove Sarah slowly and painfully crept
till at last she reached a little glade
bordered by a primeval forest. carpet

shaded with canopy of maple leaves
and above them the bluest of skies
Maiden hair and sweet modest or
chids grew all around, and above, In
a leafy branch, pair Of hermit
thrushes were caroling their love
song.
In this sylvan solitude she sat
down and wound her head In her
apron, that she might not hear the
sound of distant shot, and there she
moaned and sobbed all day long.
The sun was sinking in glowing
splendor behind the western hills
The pools in the little brook were inky
black and cool. quiet shadow en-

The tender, frail wind flower

A welcoming eye of gold.
And straight within my breast

And the spell of deep unrest,

JACKIE.

Far distant from the city's roar and
strife there winds little valley, and
through il murmuring river flows.
A shallow brook leaps down the West
ern hills and joins it in its race TO a
greater river. Beside the brook. on
rolling fern-fringed terrace, is perch
ed little red house, old and time
stained and battered. Behind the
house Is semi-circle of tree-crowned
hills, which protect it from all save
southern winds. A narrow. grass
grown country road passes by in front,
crosses the little brook over low
plank bridge, and climbs the hills be
yond.
Brilliant peonies, larkspur and yell
low lilies make the little terrace bril-
liant, and the heavy breath of thou
sand lilacs floats in at the open win
dow this cloudless day in June.
ON the doorstep sits wan and de-
jected little figure, and wonders va
guely why nature should be so beauti-
full and she should be so sad. The
brook sings merrily to her as it
splashes down the slope, but she sees
no beauty in flowers or music in the
purling stream.
Here in this quiet spot Jacob Wheel
den lives for many years, and supplied
his frugal needs by tilling his meager
acres. His wife, Mariana, had died
years and years ago. and his house
and himself had been cared for by
Sarah Ludlow, whom the childless cou-
pie had taken from the poorhouse.

puny frame, but she had done her fee
BILE best to care for Jacob and had sue

lection and fidelity the idol of both.

Jackie guarded the place in the in
frequent absences of Jacob and Sarah,
and his joyous noisy bark welcomed
them home. No roaming woodchuck
or cunning fox dared enter his domain.
He kept the cows, the hens and the
sheep in perfect order, and his playful
gnmbols were the solace of Jacobs
resting time and his presence relief

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1895-08-30

There Is probably no truth in the an
rouncement that Captain General Campos,
governor of Cuba and commander-in-chief
of the Spanish troops Row on that much
disturbed island, wrote anything to the
effect that Spain had lost her grip on what
has been termed 1.-The fairest jewel in her
crown" But. unless the indications are all
misleading, Captain General Campos might
honestly have done precisely what he is
said to have done, for most of the undoc-
tored news from Cuba is now favorable to
the insurgents The unadulterated facts
are, of course, not easily to be procured,
but even the information which leaks out
through Spanish sources can hardly do
otherwise than encourage those who are
doing the most and the best they possibly
can to achieve independence for themselves
and their fellow-residents of an island that
has been systematically plundered by Spain
from the time when Cuba first fell into
greedy Spanish hands. 1t Is absurd for the
Spanish press to insist that the revolt
really amounts to nothing, for if that were
the case, then Spain would never have ex-
pended up to this time more than twenty
millions of dollars in a succession of tn
deavors to crush the revolutionary party,
nor would preparations continue to trans
port large number of additional soldiers
to the field of operations. OF course, it IS
barely possible that by force of arms
Spain may for the present prevent sue
cessful organization of the Cuban republic
but the time seems not far away when
Spain will have to admit that it will be
cheaper and more polite to let Cuba go
than to insist upon retaining possession.

not propose to be trifled with. He has
discovered at great cost the criminal char
acter and general worthlessness of many
in whom he once had confidence, so now
he warns the high authorities that If their
nominees are careless and perform their
duties perfunctorily, or only just as far as
they feel obliged to, or If they represent the
interests of favored persons from selfish
motives, and are unduly lenient and in
hueneed by their private feelings, I'VE will
certainly hold the guilty responsible, pun
ishment being specially provided by stat
ute for such an offense-that of improperly
recommending persons for Office In this
land Of civilization there is also punish
ment for the same offense. but our superior
wisdom provides that the people, who foot
the bills. shall be punished and not the
schemers who procure or enjoy the offices
and their emoluments.
