MY SWEETHEART.

Her height Perhaps you'd deem her taylr-
To be exatt just five feet seven;
Her arching feet are not too small;
Her cleaning eyes are bits Of Heaven.
Slim are her hands, Yet not too wee
could not fancy useless fingers:
Her hands are all that hands should be,
And own touch whose memory fingers
The hue that lights her oval cheeks
Recalls the pink that tints cherry;
Upon her chin dimple speaks
A disposition blithe and merry.
Her laughter ripples like brook:
Its Sound heart of stone would soften;
Though sweetness shines in every look.
Her laugh is never loud nor often.
Though golden locks have won renown
With bards, never heed their raving;
The girl love hath locks Of brown,
Not tightly curled. but gently waving
Her mouth? Perhaps you'd term it large
Is firmly nodded, full ard curving;
Her quiet lips are Cupids charge,
But in the cause of truth answering.
Though little of her neck Is seen,
That little is both smooth and slightly:
And fair as marble in it's sheen,
Above her bodice cleaning whitley.
Her nose is just the proper size,
Without trace of upward turning,
Her shell-like ears are wee and wise,
The tongue of scandal ever spurning
In mirth and woe her voice is low,
Her calm demeanor never f1uttered;
Her every accent seems to go
Straight to ones heart as soon as uttered.
She meier coquettes Us others do
Her tender heart would never let her.
Where does she dwell? would I knewl

CHAPTER Y.

|
On Friday morning a tired and dusty
traveller in miserable Tennessee
wagon was driven up to the rugged
activity in Henderson county now
known as Fort Surges. 1t was then
Wild overgrown region and all the
traveller and the negro who drove him
could see sticking out of the brush
half mile up the rocks was the un-
painted roof of small frame house.
| The traveller got out, stamped his feet
as if he was cramped by long riding,
gave the negro two-dollar bill and
began climbing the rocky bank
1t was Laport.
He sat down on the doorstep of the
house somewhat winded by the climb
and looked about him. The prospect to
the east and north was open revealing
what appeared to be a desolate wilder
ness of rocks and forests, with here
and there the blue peaks of the distant
mountains showing between. While
he sat there, the door opened; man
whom he did not recognize appeared
and spoke to him Familiarity.
''Come inside, professor-you can
rest yourself much better indoors"
He looked at the speaker. 1t was
Kent, but save for something in the
tone of his voice, Laport did not know
him. He appeared broader and heavier
and older
He considerably assisted Laport to
rise, saying: 1--WE been waiting break
fast for you. You may dismiss further
anxiety. Your troubles are ended. You
must be hungry after your long ride"
Once inside the house, Widespread
table presented itself and the men sat
down.
''Let u.s." said Kent, ''avoid the
usual formalities Explanations will
prepare the way to rest. You are
naturally amazed at what has taken
place and anxious to know the motives
of my action. I will proceed at once
to relieve your mind and replenish
your system. Let me advise you to
drink coffee-it is necessary prophy-
Tactic in this place."
He called to o servant who came in
from the one other apartment and
brought the meal. Laport looked on
with expectancy and was silent, while
Kent both ate and talked.

Perhaps drop of stimulant?"
"No," said Laport. my curiosity to
hear what you have to say is too great
to permit me to eat. Proceed
"There are two orders of men, Mr..
LaPort," said Kent. "One order deals
with ideas, the other with events.
They are incompatible, but supple

sary that we show ourselves here. You
are to preserve the mir Of the father

At the largest of the houses the party
drew up and asked for drink of wa
ter of a man at the door While it was
being served Laport remained in the
road-the rest drew up chatteringly at
the door and managed adroitly to tell
the man how they had been disap-
pointed in their ride and were hurry
ing back to Shirleyville. Some ques-
tions were also asked about better
roads; and then, with flippant jests,
some coin was flung to the man and
they started off again. 1t was now
half-past three o'clock and ride of
half an hour brought them to an inter-
secting and evidently not much travelled
road. eve turn SOUTH" said Laport's
companion. "The rest go on to Shir-
leyville. Do you understand? There
is no telegraph on our route"
The moment they were in the new
road she said: II shall have to ask you
to make the best time you can for the
next five miles, until we come to an
other highway. Your horse has good
gait-let him have his head"
She then struck her animal and La
port followed her. The pace was
painful one, for he no longer had the
suppleness of youth. But determination
supplied him with endurance, and they
rode at rapid pace through an unin-
hahited tract, and he was much re-
lieved whea they turned once more into
. well-traveled road that ran in a west
crly direction, and his companion said:
''You can take it easy now. Well
walk our horses here and let them dry.
We are safe. If you are pursued the
scent will lead to Shirleyville.'
She drew up by his side as she spoke.
II can now tell you," she said, ''what
your route will be. We shall stop for
the night at a hotel in Charlotte. tits

which the landlord will cal y because I
have already cashed the two which
Mr.. Kent got you to sign, and the land
lord knows they are good. There is a
branch railroad running from Char
lotte to Penkanky- thirty miles west.
We shall succeed in the morning in
getting off with our horses on trip to
the Penkanky glen. The horses will
go on to Brankenford, where they will
be taken care of, they having been OBJ
tanned there. At the Penlzanky house
we give out that we are going to stop
with friend in town and leave the
hotel in the evening. You will then
have to walk three miles to reach a
trunk line railroad. If we catch an
express train we shall most likely be
in Wheeling just six hours ahead of a
dispatch"
''But if we do not?" asked Laport
with considerably Lore curiosity than
apprehension.
''In that case we shall have to de-
pend on the discrepancy between the
description and the appearance. The
probability is that the pursuit will be
thrown off at Shirleyville. There is
no means of knowing that we left the
party until the pursuers reach the
party. They will then have to retrace
their steps. The landlord at Charlotte
will tell them that he has been receiv-
ing your checks before the date of the
escape, and saw you sign one with his
own eyes. twill take some time after

fore taking that train"
"Ah," said Laport, with relief.
"And you go on alone" added the
woman.
"Yes?" said Laport, inquiringlyl
"You reach Cincinnati and go to the
Columbia hotel, an obscure place. You
will look on the register for Bernard
Biddle. He's your old friend. He will
get you over into Kentucky that night.
On Friday morning at ten o'clock you
will be at the rendezvous appointed
by Mr.. Kent. will myself join YOU
three days later. Once at that point
you are absolutely safe from pursuit.
Laport looked at her. 81 do not quite

you arrive there" replied his compan.

''Women!' quickly replied a spirited

you mean to say we are inferior to the

His kind of advertising is usually on

ANENT our criticisms of the
Democrats personal and political
course last week that learned jour
nal contained the following:
"THE REPUBLICAN this week
reminds us of spoiled child. The
longer it is INDUCED in its tantrums
the more disposed it is to impose
upon good nature. "A word to the
wise is sufficient But more
anon. ,"
No doubt our learned contempt
rary punched itself in the ribs and
laughed because of its extreme
smartness.
1t did not refute our statements
in a single instance, but we expect
that in its issue this week it will
pour out upon us wrathful execra-
tions, but continue to serve two
gods - Cleveland and German,
which leads us to ask: Is this not
hypocrisy?

A Word to Business Men.

We are not given to criticising
the ways by which our merchants
advertise their goods. We get a fair
share of the advertising of the town
and try to give value received for
every dollar spent with us. But we
do intend to stand up for newspaper
advertising against all other classes.
For instance, we will ask one of our
merchants a reasonable price for an
advertisements say four inches square
to be inserted for fifty-two weeks,
and one that will be read by five
thousand people weekly-and by
people who purchase goods. You
won't take the cad" because you
claim the price is entirely too high.
