Private Mark Maynard is sent by Cen
eral Thomas from the Union camps IN
central Tennessee scouting toward Chat-
tanooga and barely escapes capture by
Confederates through the cunning OF
native girl-Souri Slack. He gets o sult
of citizens clothes at Slack's, and Jakey
Slack, lad of l3, goes with him to help
disguise his character. Souri, gives Mark
a silk handkerchief rs memento.
Mark and the boy beg supper and lodg-
ing at the house of Mrs. Fain, Southern
woman married to a Northern man, who
is absent in the Union lines. Captain
Fitz Hugh, c. S. A., sultor OF Laura
Fain's, drops in and suspects that the
strangers may be Union spies; but Laura
wards off investigation, and the travellers
resume their journey undisturbed.
Mark reaches Chattanooga, is captured
and condemned as spy.
Jakey sends Souri's silk handkerchief
home by friendly Negroes and Souri, takes
a hint, hastens to Chattanooga and helps
Mark to escape Jail.
Mark reaches the Fains' house ana Is
protected by Laura. ,
The remaining chapters show how
Laura decides between Captain Fitz Hugh
and Mark, compelling the Confederate
to shield his Yankee rival. Mark travels
toward the Union lines with Mrs. Fam
and Laura, is recaptured and again spared
by Captain Fitz Hugh, marries his 1air
protector, reaches the Union camp with
valuable information about the enemy
and is rewarded for his exploit by ap..
pointment as an officer on the staf OF
General Thomas.

tagious diseases that afflict the country,
1t is believed that many cases of fever
and other serious ailments can be con.
tracted by q floating germ coming in
contact with the abradcd skin. Once
snugly lodged in this most congenial
dwelling-place, the germ multiplies
with amazing rapidity, and soon over,
runs the entire system. Therefore,
whenever there is q bruise or scratch,
or any injury of this sort, germicidal
applications should be at once resorted
to. Some physicians recommend the
use of courtplaster, but this is rank
poison to so many people that its gen.
eral use can scarcely be commended

sand of them in the United States
with about SJ00,OUO,000 Of assets, one

The general plan upon which these
building or loan associations are CON
Quoted is that each member sub
scribes for a certain number Of shares,
on which he pays 81 per month. He
borrows money with which to buy a
farm or home from the association,
and pays the interest and Il small in

words, the rent more than pays for
the place. This is cheaper, too, than
a savings bank loln, for, while the
interest may be fraction higher, the
mortgage is obliged to be constantly
lessening the amount of his loan,
whereas If one bor"ows of savings

not one chance in ten he would make
the small payments that the co-opera-
tive system provides for.
This system of cooperative payment
of mortgages in small installments, Is
within the reach of every farm family,
ought to be generally known. The
facts about it are now available in
great detail in TIL special report on
building and loan associations just
published by the United States COM

of all the cooperative banks, and then
describes in detail how they are oper-

the different states regarding them.
We would by all means urge every or

and others to write to their congress
men and senators at Washington, OBJ

special committee to investigate it and

pleased to help any organization with
