PART V.
A WEIRD SECRET.

And now, as though the battered war
rjor had not suffered enough from For
tunes Bullets, further injury befell
him. Walking-a strange, rueful figure
enough--towards horse, the man sud-
denly felt under his left foot the sharp
stab of steel. Bending to see the cause
of this further reverse, the cry on his
lips died unuttered, and he stood struck
dumb with astonishment. There, lying
by the blood that dripped from deep
cut in his heel, was the handle of
strange weapon, which the soldier had
seen for the first time on the previous
day. and noted observantly. main

Farmer van Trier, though he was a

little man took it i'll when to his portal

ii gaunt, black-eyed, grizzled and tat

this devilish image, he tried rubbing
his eyes. But the unclad man proved

truth; il was greatly swollen, and there
could be no mistake as so the severity
of the cash upon his heel. Finally,when
the promise of gold ducats had been re-
peated, Van Trier consented TO do what
was desired of him. Breakfast was

To Editor of xale Expositor.
Dear Sir:-In recent issue of your
paper / nOtice an item under the head
ing of "Our Testimonies" which drew
my attention as being very unfair and
misleading to the farmers. This is the
only ease where the Mccormick people
have had any chance to say anything
and they sounded their trumpet when
they got the chance. | do not under
stand how those gentlemen could wit.
hess the test when the machines were
not together in the field, as any good
farmer knows the machines DsMst be in
the same field tGgether to make test
of il, and where we met them in the
field they had to draw their machines
out in every case and the farmer set
tied for the Champion. In those testi-
monies they forget to tell the farmers
of the number of Mccormick machines
that were drawn back in this territory
and replaced with Champions. ] am
prepared to prove that there were
three replaced at Peck, one at INLAY
City, one at New Haven, one at La
peer, one at Bad Axe, and in the field
trial at Ubly they had to draw their
machine out and the farmer settled for
the Champion. These are only few
of the cases am prepared to state to
farmers If necessary. 1 do not wish to
take up any more Of your valuable
space and will await your reply.
Yours respectfully, III. u. McCabe.

in this vicinity was on Saturday last.
About 400 D. m. the clouds began to
look threatening and soon heavens s
artillery began to boom. Fires could
be noticed in all directions in the
country, and later reports were
brought in that Mike Dunn's barn was
struck and burned to the ground. A

struck and burned to the ground.

and Was Drowned.
About two o'clock on Wednesday
afternoon the rumor spread like wild
fire through the village that the little
son and only child of Mr.. and Mrs. b..
McNulty was drowned in the open
cistern. The rumor was quickly con-
firmed and the shocking and cruel &C
cident which takes away a bright and
promising child was quickly explained.
The little fellow had been washed and
dressed by his mother after dinner and
ran out to play with playmate
named Cunningham while his mother
went up stairs to get pin to fasten
back his dress. Coming down he was
not seen and she began calling him.
Meanwhile the playmate had run
down to his father at the creek and
told him he had heard splash in the
cistern. Mr.. G. came directly up and
with others began stirring the water
with u stick when Il pitchfork was
brought and the lifeless body of little
Russell was soon brought to the sur
face and tenderly lifted out. Medical
help was quickly summoned and ev'
erything possible was done to resusci
tate him but the cruel water had done
its work too well and there was no life
in the little body to bring back to the
heart broken and despairing parents
He was the apple of their eye and q
favorite with all. Only four summers
had passed oyer him. He had not
