A JAIL ON FIRE,

Friday night about 10:30 o'clock the Blount county jail at Oneonto caught on fire, and when discovered was burning fiercely. Two persons were sleeping in the low CT cells, while the sheriff, who is also the jailer, was sleeping in an adjoin- ing house. Mir. NJ. N. Fogel, agent Tor fire exiinguisher, was in the hotel near by, and when he heard of the fire went to work on it with his extinguisher, and in short time had the fire under control. A part of the wood work burned, ana the damage would have been much greater had it not been for the work of Mr. Fogel.

CHAPTER X.
A VERY MYSTERIOUS PERSON.
Far in a wilderness obscure
The lonely mansion lay.


GOLDSMITH.
The danger which the Of revolutions Is
posed that Of attempting them before the principles
which they proceed and the advantages result from them
sufficiently undeFstOod-THOMAs PAINE
Two miles from the home of Nathaniel Stone, and
in the densest part of wood, was an odd looking
structure known as "The Hermitage" Four walls
of rude masonry enclosed a court. At one end two
rooms were psrtitioned off and rooted; outside the
opposite wall were sheds for a COW and horse. In
the court stood cluster of old trees which gave in
viting shade in the summer. Outside was cleared
space for garden. Vines clambered all over the
walls, SO that their age could net be guessed from
the appearance Of the material; and how long The
Hermitage had stood there no one knew. Some
body discovered it one day during the Revolution,
but it might have been there since the Deluge.
Here lived entirely alone man of near middle
age, of average stature, erect, and in excellent
health His face was intellectual and benevolent;
but the experienced observer would have noted in
the mans bearing the quiet air Of long used to
reticence and solitude An expert reader of faces

might also have traced in the soltarys vlsags the
signs of some old sorrow borne with fortitude and
rifted by far-off hope. He was known as "The
Hermit, although his evident good health cleared
him at once of all suspicion that he was an anchorte
of the sanity order
This mysterious being visited Worcester at inter
walls to purchase supplies but he never loered nor
engaged in conversation, and he always hsstened
back to The Hermitage. 1t was remarked, however,
that the supplies he purchased were such as would
be provided only by man disposed to live well.
People had long INDUCED in much speculation as to
who and what he was. Some were certain for
time that he was a fugitive from justice who had
committed elsewhere some awful crime and they
we're chsgrined as the years went by and officer
came to seek the strocious criminal and carry him
away.
But the general opinion was that he was another
DIR. Fsustus, who, having bartered his soul to the
devil, practiced in his seclusion ungodly art
1t never occurred to the foolish people that in their
pompous and highly respectable fellow citizen, Isaac
StilWel, they had nearer at hand one who had really
sold himself to Satan, and, through the Courts and
the forms Of law, was prscticing species OF magic
much more to be dreaded by common folk than any
In which DIR. Faustus is reputed to have been an
adept That he wore beard, and that he did not
even do his hair up with string, but left it free,
were by no trivial circumstances against the
Hermit. The reader must often have been struck
with the singular fact that, without exception all
the heroes of the Revolution have in their portraits
distinguished look. The mystery Vanishes when
we remember that in those days rigid custom re-
quired every mothers son of them to be shaved as
clean as an Indian. Even modest moustsche
would have been sufficiently peculiar to have given
just ground for suspicion but had there been police
men in those days, they would surely have run In
man with full beard and held him as Suspect
while they advertised for a crime to fit him to. The
Hermit wore not only full beard, but long one;
and popular suspicion ran riot about him, so %

"Your refusal last night was"
"Sydney Stone, you are no SON of mine" inter

mob, but came out like honest loyal citizen. And
now, want you to colectyour belongings and leave

disown you"
And the old man trembed with passion
"SoP" answered Sydney. "You scorned to be re-
leased by the manhood Of your son and of your
neghbors but your proud spirit did not prevent you
from gladly accepting your release through the char
ity of the scoundrels who make paupers Of you and
yours also disown g0Cy. Where has your manhood

Right willingly Co. for those friends Of yours will
never allow me to be anything but pauper here.
But must get rid Of the stock on the place. Some
of your kind Worcester acQuaintaDces will seize 1t
l leave it here for you. / am going"
And Sydney started to the house. The old man
followed him, and entered just as Mrs. Stone, in
tears, was pleading with her boy to stay.
"He shall not stay here single hour. am mas.
ter here"
"Hardly, 1 fear, Nathaniel" said Mrs. Stone.
"You are out of jail, but the landlord and your
creditors are masters here. Save us! Yonder comes
the sheriff again."
And in half an hour Nathaniel Stone was again on
his way to Worcester JAIL arrested for another debt
A lawyer having witnessed the reception given the
old man by the leading citizens had reasoned that
now, while the enthusiasm over the old soldiers
conduct at its height, was the time to strike and
to get his claim paid off by the leading citizens.
The prisoner himself fully expected the same de-
nouement, and 80 took his second arrest quite
lightly. Aasl Cicero remarked "Nothing dries
quicker than tear" He was mistaken. A tear is
eternal as compared with this sort Of "eading citi
zen" ebullition. Nathaniel Stone went to jail, and
stayed there. No second purse was made up to pay
his second debt. No lawyer stood second time In
a public place to make a complimentary speech to
him. This time no carriage was got ready to bear
him in triumph home.
Mrs. Stones emotions were distressingly conflict
ing. AS wife, she grieVed over her husbands re-
incarceration; as mother, she rejoiced over 1t as
the plan of kind ProVideDce for keeping her son
by her side.
Sydney went back to the work his father had so
hsrshly interrupted. With one reflection he could
console himself now His conscience could rest
easy he could do nothing to release his father. But
his manhood reVoted at the sycophancy the old
Revoutionist's conduct had revealed. Nathaniel
