years ago in New York, when he and

this way:
Through all this dreadful case this
struggle for what should be to her many
thousand times dearer than life, has a
veil mantled that beautiful face? Has
one tear rolled down those cheeks? Has
there been single blush on that face?
Not tear! Not blush!" He shook his
fist at ngersoll as he said this.
'Do you state that as fact?" asked
the infidel

"Then l tell you it is untrue.
Consider yourself challenged,

and displeasure.
"Well, then, he must not look at me
when he says untruths," said Ingersoll,

UNWELCOME GUESTS.
A Highly Conventional Social Visit by a
Party of Indians.

Some years ago three young men were
camping in the Sierra Nevada noun
tains, killing deer, fishing and cooking
delectable food. One day it happened
that one of them had twisted his ankle,
and the others went hunting without
him. AS he could not move about he
was naturally somewhat bored, and aft
er reading awhile in the shade of tree
be fell asleep Thus he tells what fol-
lowed.
woke up with a start and the feel
ing that something was about to hap
pen. Something had happened Fifteen
Indians sat in a half circle about me,
waiting for me to stir
They had fixed upon me their 10 pairs
of black, beady eyes, and not one of
them moved muscle. All of them had
guns, and, what was more important,
each had presumably two sound legs,
whereas was handicapped by my lame
ness.
looked at them, and they continued
looking at me. A lightning express Of
speculation ran through my head. 1 re-
membered that the deputy sheriff of the
nearest settlement had lately shot an
Indian by accident and that the tribe
had sworn to have his scalp. Did 1 look
like the deputy sheriff? Was it my scalp
they wanted?
Their eyes never wandered, but mine
did, for could not help glancing at my
gun, at least Is feet away, and at the
spot where a big Indian sat composedly
on my cartridges. Finally one buck
made remark.
"Fishhook?" said he
NO." said l. "No fishhook." ="
Silence again for Is minutes Then
another indicated by glance a piece of
venison hung up in tree and grunted
his approval of it. l nodded, and he
rose, sOlemnl ly took it down and laid it
on the ground beside him.
A little, boyish fellow, with eyes
more restless than those of the others,
removed his gaze from me to q greasy
piece of red flannel beside me, with
which one of our men had been clean
ing his gun. took it up and held it
out to him, and he accepted it with out
ward composure and, 1 have no doubt,
inward rapture. Then we had another
period of silent reflection, and they
rose, stalked solemnly away to their
horses tethered i'll neighboring grove
and rode off. They had made me
highly conventional social visit. -

"Miracle Face" on a Tombstone,

In the Oak Hill cemetery, at Stony
Brook, N Y, large tombstone of
notified italian marble bears remark
able portrait of an average sized human
face. The picture is not the work of
sculptor, nor has it been craven with
the marble cutters chisel 1t is nat
ural production, the outlines of the face
being formed by peculiar grouping of
the clouded veins and dark spots char
acteristic of first class imported stone.
The remarkable popularity of this par
ticular stone has been known for two or
three years, and throughout the length
and breadth of Long Island it is re-
ferred to rs "the miracle face" Stand
ing near, as one would in reading an
epitaph or inspecting the grain and pol
ish of such a memorial shaft, the out
lines of the face cannot be traced, but
ut distance of from 30 to so feet it is
as plain as though done with an artists
brush, the grouping of the spots, veins
and wavy lines combining to make not
only fair resemblance to face, but
complete portrait, including hair, eyes,
nose, cheeks, mouth, chin, etc. Its out
lines are clearest, of course, when the
shadows and light play properly upon
1t, but at the distance mentioned, and
in the proper direction, the portrait is
plainly visible at all times. The face is
on the back of the stone, and the eyes
are so set as to appear to be looking
down upon the grave of the person to
whose memory the shaft was erected. -
