ROMANCE OF TIE MOUNTAINS.

The Story of Fugitive Pirate aud
Disappearance of His Daughter.
The death Of Mrs, Jennie Hoar at her
mountain cottage back of Jumonville
removes one Of the most romantic char.
acters that ever dwelt in the mountains
Of Fayette County, Pennsylvania, She
was born where she died, and her sor-
rowfully romantic life covered n term
of 90 years.
Seventy years ago says the Pittsburg
Dispatch, there came to the county
named from Massachusetts Il young
man named James Hoar, son Of II prom
inent citizen Of Boston, educated Mt
one Of the leading Eastern colleges. Be
yond this nothing could be learned of
his life, He secured work rs day la
borer ut the old Wharton furnace, Ev-
erything about this stranger bespoke
the gentleman Of culture This fact,
added to the mystery Of his life, led to
the conclusion that he had left Massa-
chusetts for reasons which he did not
care to divulge, one day rs he was
handling large piece Of metal 1t fell
and broke his leg, He was taken to the
home Of Benjamin Bronson. Bronson
had daughter named Jennie, Il typi-
cal country girl, When Hoar was taken
to her home her spare time was devoted
to the care of the new arrival. After
the patient was able to be about his
attentions to Jennie became apparent,
and quiet country wedding followed.
They took up their abode in little log
house about mile east of Dunbar, A
household Of children came to their fire.

cal woodsman, and many stories Of his
prowess as an athlete are still told.
The tranquility Of the little mountain
home was broken by the appearance Of
n Southern planter named lie Clair, lie

gether they secured quarters at Ioar's
cabin. The latter had daughter, lie
Clair pretended to have become enam-
ored Of the fair-huired mountain girl.
The secret of his pretended love was
kept from his wife, and when the lie
Glars left she disappeared What be-
came Of her is still mystery, and 1t Is
believed that she was kidnapped by the
lie Clairs end taken South. The brok-
en- hearted mother never recovered
from the loss and from that time life
for her was one long sorrow James
Hoar died at the age of SO. 1t is now
known that his connection with some
of the Cape Cod pirates drove him into
this mountain exile. He was cousin
of Senator Hoar Of Massachusetts. Jen-
ME Hoar made a livelihood after the
death Of her husband by selling roots
and herbs.

Mr.. Kipling Wearied Her.

A capital story is being told of Rud-
yard Kipling and little Miss Dorothy
Drew, Mr.. Gladstone's granddaughter.
During the noyelist's stay in Wiltshire
this summer he met little Dorothy at a
country house, and being very fond of
children, took her about the grounds
and told her stories. After a time Mrs.
Drew, fearing that Mr.. Kipling must
have had enough of the child's society,
called her and said: Now, Dorothy,
hope you have been a good child and
have not been wearying Mr.. Kipling."
"Oh, not bit, MOTHER" replied the
celebrity. "but you've no idea how Mr.
Kipling has been Wearying me-"

his people.
Early the next morning he was told
that man, looking like tramp, wish

Doctor Holmes Thoroughness.

Young people must not be deceived
by the apparent ease and freshness,
and If you please, slap-dash, Of DR..
Holmes lighter papers, or by the abs2-
lutte fuency with which his verses run,
writes Edward Everett Hale, in Re.
view Of Reviews. He never insulted
anybody by sending slap-dash work to
the press, and that is one reason-as |
believe Horace said before newly
you and l always like to read what he
did send to the press. Nobody knows
what good things he has left out and
nobody ever read anything Of his for
which he had not done the best he
could do before he submitted It for pub
LEGATION. If a duty was to be done, he
did it. If u ballad was to be written for
the Old South Meeting House, he wrote
1t. But he took his time for writing IL,
and he did not say it was finished be-
fore 1t was finished. That is the reason
why his work will stand.
