The Story Of Naomi
BY CLARENCE Il. PEARSON.

She had lived all her life in a log
cabin on the side of one of the Cum
berland mountains i'll eastern Tenn
essee. TO her the little towns III the
Sequachee Valley represented the
great centres of manufacture and
commerce. She had once visited
South Pittsburg, which was saiG to
have a population of something over
four thousand, and the strange and
wonderful things she saw there turn-
ished her with food for many days
Of reflection. Her daily life was OK
tremely meventful She kept house
for her father who was her sole sur.
viving relative and her only comp n +
ion. lie was n grave, transformations
man who pursue | his chosen oocupa-
ton quietly and mdustriously, hut
never tried to extend his business be-
yomd certain limits, and never adj
vertised. He was n mOOnShiner.
One day lGte IN August, party Of
mp, RS from Chattanooga came and
pitched their tents on II mountain
siIe not far from the little cabin.
The company consisted of . married
of thirty-fve or tlereabout, several
lively and exceedingly noisy young
people, who have nothing in particu-
lar to do with this story, and little
Dot, the baby, aged four. They dis
ported themselves very much after
the manner of campers in general,
exploring every nook and Granny of
the mountain, AMI singing, laughing
and shouting until they awakened the
echo - far miles around.
"iM"ell be powerful Soa'ce TINS
fall ct tits yer pack o yellin Icona-
tics do n't shove out soCn," runbled
Naomi's father one, day, "for low
they IL Skeer every Twin thing outen
the kentry."
One afternoon, when everyone
thought she was asleep III one OF the
tents, little Dot started on tour of
discovery. About the first object of
interest she found was long, slender,
graceful, golden brown creature with
beautiful, seal-brcwn markings. and
a queer little rattle on the tip OF its

tai. Its eyes Shone like diamonds,
AMI little Dot thought she had never
seen anything quite so lovely and at
tractlve IN her whole life.
Naomi came upon the child and
her new acquaintance at a very OPP
portule moment. The reptile irrita-
ted by the too close approach of the
little one had struck, fortunately bur-
ying its deadly fangs In the folds of
the brightly colore d dress instead of
the white, delicate flesh. Without a
moments hesitation, the girl caught
the squirnnn reptile by the neck so
close to TIE terrible, gaping jaws that
1t could not turn to bite her. 1t coil
eel so tightly around her arm as to
almost paralyzc it, but she held it in
a firm grasp, and taking stone in
her left hand, laid the ugly triangu-
lar head on a boulder and pounded it
to ShapcleSS mass. Then, contrary
to all precedant, she refrained from
fainting.
Little Dots parents were profuSe
in their expressions of gratitude, and
the rest Of ,he party were so loud in
their praises of her courage that at
first they made Naomi very uncom-
Portable. They came to the house
frequently and little Dot followed her
about Xix a shadow. 1t was very
easy to learn to love the beautiful
little creature whose life she had saw
ed, and to conceive strong friend
ship for the parents whose kindly
feeling toward their child'S preserver
was SO manifest.
About this time Naomis father
met with a Sc ious reverse in business.
Two strangers who were ostenSibly
prospecting for coal discovered the
! the cave where he kept all the tools
and implements Of his occupation and
carried them away. II ey also took
the owner before the Federal Court
to answer to the charge of violating
the United States revenue laws. In
:; few days, for justice is not always
leadenfooted, especially when deal
ing with illicit distillers, word came
back that the old man had been SEN
fenced to imprisonment for two years
And so it happened that Naomi
having nowhere else to go, accom-
PANEL her new friends to Chattanoc.

tain maid. At the end of that time
one would hardly have known her
indeed the mOOnShiner's daughter
scarcely knew herself. At last came
the day to which, in spite of herself
she had been looking forward for q
long time with secret dread. With
a sinking heart, she read the scrawl-
ing, ill-spelled epistle notifying hel
that her father was once more q
free man, and requesting her to re.
turn home at once. She knew that

she ought to be glad. She was glad
that the long, weary days of her
fathers Imprisonment were over, but
how could she return to the dull,
mOnOtonOus existence which she had
known before? She slept little and
wept much that night, for she had de-
cided after sharp struggle with her
inclinations that the path of duty
led her to the lone cabin on the
mountain. She thought how sadly
she should miss little Dot and her
parents to whose kindness she owed
so much !; and then with sharp
twinge of pain she thought of the
handsome, manly, young mechanic
who had sought her society so fire.
quently during the past few months.
He had made no spoken declaration
of love, but she was very sure that a
certain very important question had
trembled upon his lips at their last
meeting, and tfat only chance in
terruptiou had prevented its utter
ance. And she must leave the city
the next day without an opportunity
to bid him goodbye, for lie was a
way on visit and would not return
for nearly week.
One bright afternoon six weeks
later Naomi was far up on the side of
the mountain gathering nuts. Chanc-
ing to glance up from her work she
saw man standing on a high knoll a
few hundred yards below her fathers
cabin. His form looked strangely
familiar and she watched him curious
~. Presently clump Of bushes
near him seemed to emit little puff
of white smoke and simultaneously
the man threw up his hands and stag
gering forward fell to the ground.
A second or two later the report of
a rifle reached her ear. She turned
cold with horror as the awful truth
dawned upon her. A murder had
been committed and worse still she
felt eure that her own father was the
assassin. Probably the victim was
some providing revenue officer, and
yet the figure had been so like that
of some one she had known. A ter
ribIe thought arose in Ter mind--a
possibility that filled her with sicken-
ing fear, and she rushed down the
mountains steep side like some mad
creature. Needing no obstacle in her
wild haste she dashed on, tearing
through bushes, leaping over fallen
logs, dashing her feet against the
sharp stones, until breathless and
painting she arrived at the spot where
she had last seen the stranger. Mer-
ciful God, what a sight met her gaze!
There prone OF the ground lay her
handsome lover with the blood still
slowly oozing from wound in his
chest, and the terrible, CLASSY glare
of death IN his blue eyes. His feat
ures were distorted, his limbs were
drawn up, and in his right hand was

Poli,s WONDERLAND rheater.

The congress of stars that gave their
opening performances at the Wonder
land yesterday and last evening are
really an eminent combination Of ar
lists zenora and Foden, who head
the cast, are remarkable hand bal
ancers, and have no equals in America
In their line. They were imported
from Europe by Managers Keith and
Poll, and have no superiors. The five
Pardos are marvelously clever bicycle
trick riders, Gaping the climax when
they introduce their bicycle bear Kupp,
the only living animal ever taught to
ride bicycle. Watson and Hutchings
are exceedingly funny German com
iques. Alonzo Hatch is peculiarly in
teresting in his rendering Of ballads
with stereopticon illustrations, and the
singing by La Porte sisters charm
every nearer. The Murray brothers in
their musical speciality. Miss Myrtle
Tressider in her graceful dancing, Will
Hams and Adams in their black face
art, and Harry and May Odell in their
amusing comedy sketch, keep everybody
well entertained. The performance is
certainly a star entertainment.

Vice President Hall said yesterday.
THE Consolidated road has made no
attempts whatever to purchase an in
terest in the Bridgeport traction, the
Norwalk, the westport and saugatuck,
or the Stamford, or Stratford electric
lines, as declared in the articles. In
fact, we have made no bids for interest
in any electric lines in the state. We
shall not compromise with the electric
roads at all in our fight with them in
paralleling the state.
when we get ready to equip our line
with electricity we have number of
branch roads which will be used to
check competition from the electric lines
mentioned in the dispatches published
in New York"
Judge Hall said that the report had
apparently been sent out by some per-
son who wanted to boom the electric
roads.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Grand Opera House.

1t was very much in evidence last
night that the charming little actress
UIlie Akerstrom, still retains her pres
tige with the theater goers Of New
Haven. There was very large au-
dience present. The play was one Of
| Miss Akerstrom's late productions, Me
midas Woes" and she has evidently
made a study of the capabilities of the
individual members of her company,
has written part to suit each one to a
nicely and the results are most COM
plete and praiseworthy performance.
"Melinda's Woes" is an extremely fun
ny comedy, and Miss Akerstrom cannot
be too highly complimented for the
mastery manner in which she has
handled the elements at her command.
Her Interpretation of Melinda Gordon
was natural and thoroughly artistic,
Her song, IT Want to be an Actress, "
in which she gave limitations Of num-
Der of actors and actresses, made most
decided hit, and her beautiful dance,
ia Chromotope," received an ovation.
Miss Akerstrom has a most capable
company, who all gave careful attention
to the parts assigned them. There is
not room in this prescribed space to
enumerate the grand qualities Of each
individual, therefore it must suffice to
say that they gave a most pleasing per-
Torrance of one of the best comedies
we have had the good fortune to see.
Among those worthy of notice are j. K.
Applebee, jr., j. H. Slater Harry Burn
ham, Z. S. Shepard, Jules Van Cook,
Helen S. Judson, Susie Smith,
The repertoire for the rest Of the week
is tonight: A new emotional drama,
IA Beautiful Slave" and the famous
dance, La Chromotope;" Wednesday
matinee, new comedy, Pride Of the
Circus" and new song Under the
City Lights" illustrated by stereopticon;
Wednesday evening, THE Sultan's
Daughter" and the dance La Chrome
tope."
1t should be distinctly understood
that Sam Jacks Creole company, the
attraction at TIE Gfdnu opera mouse
Mach 81, 2and 49, is not a burlesque
show 1t includes a number Of the pref
tiest daughters of the sable race, but
the entertainment introduces a variety
of first class features, in which the spec
ialty talent of the artist is put to the
test, and in which sweet old southern
melodies and grotesque native dances
predominant. There is no vulgar exhi-
bition of the fair divine.
