Miss Dsly was down at the spring place.
1t was an area of soft turf q few yards
square, worn by footpaths, lying in basin
between two hills. The branch ran through
1t and kept the grass green and tender, and
the spring, which bubbled cold and de-
icious at the foot of giant planetree, con-
tributed its largess to this end. little
square of wet earth just below the spring
was almost constantly marked by hoof-
pats.
An expert rider, swinging downward
from his seat, could easily grasp the long
handled gourd that hung from the trees
brown bole and refresh himself and his
horse at the same time.
Dely bad spread the long breadths of
cotton sheeting, which had just come
from her loom, on the grass to bleach, and
seemed now to be studying the footprints.
Her eyes wandered from them to the
farmhouse on the hill, and again to the
mountain which lifted its blue shoulder
above the crest of the nearest hill.
''It do pintedly seem like ma gifts wus-
ser and wusser the hull time. amt he'd
a mite of peace all summer" said Dely,
addressing the footprints.

kind that had been done up to that time
that it was sought by the agents of many
of the royal houses of Europe. The price
was placed at $4,000 francs, but no buyers
came forward and it remained in the
hands OF the dealers.
One of the greatest admirers of tie clock
was the then Archduke Macmillan,
brother of the Emperor of Austria, but as
he had no money was unable to make even
an offer. But every time he visited Paris
he spent hours in admiration of it. 1t was
still in Paris when he sailed for Mexico to
become Emperor in 1864.
AS Emperor of Mexico, Macmillan was
able to bestow many favors, and was
showe-ed with presents from those who
wanted chance to become rich in the
New World. Among those was a French
nobleman whose finances hao reached
low state, and who desired good position
from Macmillan. He consulted Napoleon
III, who, knowing the Mexican Emperor's
admiration for the clock, suggested that if
he took it to him as a present he could
have anything he asked for.
The nobleman went to all his friends and
relatives and raised 10000 francs which he
induced the dealer to take for the clock.
But this left him almost without funds, so
that he was compelled to start to Mexico
in sailing vessel that consumed many
months on the VOYAGE. The day he
arrived in the City of Mexico he heard that
Macmillan had been shot in Queretaro.
The event caused bitter enmity against
all sympathizers of royalty, so the noble
man was compelled to get out of the coun-
try with his clock as quickly as possible.
He reached Acapulco after a most exciting
journey over the mountains, and paid
every sou he had to the captain of a small
vessel for passage to San Francisco.
Arriving here "broke" he sought to sell
the clock, and after telling his story found
a purchaser in F. L. A. Phoebe, proni-
nent French banker here at the time, and

A NEW ACCUsER FOR HEALY.
Captain Healy's Friends Seem to Be
Confident That He Will Come
Out Unscathed.

"Captain Healy seems to have the cinch
on this whole outfit, remarked one of the
favored few admitted in room S3 of the
United States Appraisers building during
the sessions of the court of inquiry at
present investigating the charges against
the veteran navigator.
"When the investigation opened" con-
tinued the officer, "all persons connected
with the case were strictly charged not to
reveal a word of what took place during
the sessions OF the court. By consent of
counsel on both sides it was agreed that
absolutely nothing-not even the names of
the witnesses-should be given out for
publication. This agreement was In the
nature of formal compact, and all con-
cerned were reminded that a point of
honor was involved in the matter of strict
compliance with its terms.
'Our side, at least. has kept its plighted
word. We have not revealed any of the
proceedings of the investigation; we have
refused to be interviewed; we have refused
to give even our names for publication.
But every morning what do we see? Long
articles in some of the papers preceded by
headlines and abounding in pointed shafts
of ridicule directed at the prosecution.
We find ourselves, the younger officers of
the fleet, held up to the execration of the
public as q crowd of ignorant, immoral
and utterly incompetent boys, engaged in
foul and traitorous conspiracy against
our lawful superior.
"But that is not all. The reports of the
investigation are very complete; that is,
nothing of Importance is omitted; but
everything is represented in a manner
favorable TO the captain. The old man
was we'll hauled over the Goals the other
day for talking to reporters, and I guess
he deserved it. Lieutenant Reynolds was
obliged to remind him that his honor as
an officer and a gentleman demanded that
he remain silent and divulge nothing of
what might take place during the inquiry.
''As for poor Daniels and the rest of us.
they call us the 'triumvirate, and strongly
hint that we are conspiring to ruin the
captain, that we have no status in the
cabin boys. We are called q gang of in

captain cleared of the charges against him
by fair means or by foul.
.sOur side has kept its word long enough.
and for one am going to ask that we be
released from further obligations of se-
crccy. The Healy side of the case has
been before the public long enough, and it
is time for us to have show. When DIR.
Sharp comes his testimony will knock the
Healy side into cooked hat. He knows
things that the other witnesses knew but
were afraid to tell. He is independent of

for the clock is not known
Mr.. Phoebe put the clock in the parlors
of his residence on Stockton street, and it
remained there until after he committed
suici e in 1876, when it was turned over to
NJ. Thellar, to whom it had been left in
the will. MIR. Thellar found it an elephant

Copies of the depositions in the matter
OF the estate of James A. Bradley are being
sent on to Minneapolis, where another
phase of the contest over his estate is
going on.
Bradley left will. devising his property
to heirs-at-law, just as if he had died in
testate. He made no bequests, but an
nounced that his heirs should each have
his or her legal share, and yet the will was
contested. The reason for this was that at
the time he drew the will, Bradley made
deeds for 100000 worth of property in
Minneapolis, transferring the same to
various charities IN North Carolina. The
heirs want these deeds set aside, on the
ground that the old man was not of sound
mind when be made them. The will was
made at the same time, and so to give
color to the suit to set aside the deeds, and
to be consistent, the will was contested.
The contest of the will came before

will was broken. Now the suit to set aside
the deeds will 20 on in the case.

Alec found Miss Dely sitting on the steps

delabra is about four feet high and repre-

figure seated at the base. These figures are
also representative of music.
The workmanship on the whole group
is of the highest order, and was surely
done by some master. The style of the

third and Forty-first infantries and the Third
Cavalry, and lost an arm at the battle of Ope-
