"You must know that Gen. Green
and the marquis are in South Carolina,
and I have no doubt you would be
pleased to see Lee once more. He shook
your hand very warmly the last time
he met you, am told.'
An oath escaped the angry colonePs
lips, and he glanced for moment at
the scar which the wound Lee had
made had left on his hand, but he turn
ed abruptly and ordered the troops to
form Oh the right and he dashed down
the lawn.
A shout and the sound Of firearms
drew the attention of Mrs. Slocumb to
the long avenue that led to the house.
A cry escaped her at the sight, for
there was her husband, followed by
two of her neighbors, pursuing on
horseback a band Of five tories whom
Tarleton had sent to scour the country.
On and on they came, and it was evil
dent that the pursuers were too busy
to have noticed the army Of Tarleton.
Broad swords and various kinds of
weapons were flashing in the air. and it
was plain that the enraged Slocumb
saw nothing but the tories he was pur-
suing. Could nothing be done? Would
they run into the very heart of the
camp? Mrs Slocumb tried to scream
and warn her husband, but not sound
could she make. One Of the tories had
just fallen, when she saw her hus-
bands horse suddenly stop and swerve
to one side. What was the cause?
Sambo, the slave whom Mrs. Slo-
cumb had dispatched, as soon as Tarle-
ton had come, to warn her husband,
had started promptly on his Grand,
but the bright coats Of the British had
so charmed him that he had fingered
about the place, and when the sound
of the guns was heard Sambo had gone
only as far as the hedgerow that lined
the avenue Discretion became the
better part of valor then, and the negro
in his fear had craWled beneath it Cor

beheld his master approaching he had
mustered enough courage to crawl

A Lesson that Was Practical.

Miss II. was lately taking a railway
journey. A sauve old gentleman sit
ting opposite to her presently bent for
ward and said, with gentle reproof:
Excuse me, but do you think it wise
when there are so many thieves about,
to carry your pocket-book so consqic.

AS he spoke, he pointed to her purse,
which was projecting slightly from her
pocket. Miss H., considering the stran-
ger rather officious, thrust the porte
momnaie down into her pocket, and
thanked him with stiff reserve, per-
haps trifie scornfully. At the next
station the old gentleman got out. AS
he did so he turned to his pretty visa
Wis with a polite bow and the mis-
chievous indulgence of his years:
"Allow me to restore your pocket.

Chicago Times-Herald: For many
years James Aram resided and pros
pered in the pretty village Of Delavan,
Wis. He was not what might be term
ed a rich man at his death, few
weeks ago. He had taken part in most
of the enterprises calculated to adj
vance the interests of his town. 1t Is
apparent that he wanted to live in the
thoughts Of the people after he mad
crossed the river, for he generously re-
membered several Of the churches and
the cemetery association and then di-
rected that $4,000 be used in building
a home for superannuated Methodist
ministers and their families, to be To-
Gated at Delavan. That was to be in
memory Of his father and mother. He
did not stop there, but left another
$4,000 to be used in establishing a
public library and reading-room. These
be monuments that are monuments.
They are none the less valuable, none
the less priced, because the man whose
memory will be preserved by them
builded them himself. Fortunate, in
deed, is the village or city that has q

the high rail fences, soldiers in bright
uniforms were moving here and there.
Before entering the house the British
colonel called some Of his officers and
gave sharp orders for securing the
country within the neighborhood Of
ten or fifteen miles. .
This sharp command was not lost
upon Mrs. Slocumb, nor was she slow
to act upon it herself, as we soon shall
see. But for the present, trying to sti-
fe her fears, she determined to make
the best of the situation and avert all
the danger possible by providing for
the comfort of Tarleton and his men,
and accordingly she had dinner soon

good for such a cruel and bloodthlrsty

LOYAL TO COUNTRY.

One warm morning in the spring of
1850 Mrs. SlOcumb was sitting on the
broad piazza about her home on a large
plantation in South Carolina. Her hus-
band and many of his neighbors were
with Sumter, fighting for the strug-
Cling colonies, but on this beautiful
morning there were almost no signs of
war to be seen. AS yet this plantation
had not been molested, and as Mrs.
Slocumb glanced at her little child
playing near her, or spoke to her sister,
who was her companion, or addressed
a word to the servants, there was no
alarm manifest. But in a moment the
entire scene was changed.
'There come some soldiers" said her
sister, pointing toward an officer and
twenty troopers, who turned out of the
highway and entered the yard.
Mrs. Slocumb made no reply, al
though her face became pale, and there
was tightening Of the lips as she
watched the men. Her fears were not
allayed when she became satisfied that
the leader was none other than the
L
set body, dressed in a gorgeous scarlet
uniform, the ford face and cruel ex-
preston, proclaimed the approaching
officer only too we'll. But the mistress
gave no sign Of fear as she arose to lis
ten to the words Of the leader, who soon
drew his horse to a halt before her.
Raising his cap and bowling to his
horses neck, he said: "Have 1 the
pleasure Of addressing the mistress Of
this plantation"
at is my husbands"
Sand is he here?"
"He is not"
"He is no rebel, is hep"
mo, sir. He is a soldier in the army
Of his country and fighting her inyad-
ers."
Gle must be rebel and no friend of
his country If he fights against his
king"
"Only slaves have masters here" re-
piled the undaunted woman.
Tarleton's face flushed, but he made
no reply, and, turning to one of his
companions, gave orders for camp to
be made in the orchard near by. Soon
the LOO men in his command had
pitched their tents, and the peaceful
plantation took on the garb of war.
Returning to the piazza and again
bowling low the British colonel said:
Necessity compels his majesty's troops
to occupy your place for time, and I
will have to make my quarters in your
house; that is, if it will not be too
great an inconvenience to you"
"My family consists at present of
only myself, my child and sister, be-
sides the servants, and we must obey
your orders"
In less than an hour the entire place
was transformed. The white tents
covered the lawn, horses were tied to

A genius in Rochester, N. Y, mas dis.
covered, or thinks he has, the cause Of
the hard times. He says it is bicycles.
There are 10000 bicycles in that city
Of 100000 inhabitants. This wiseacre
estimates their cost at $2,1OG,O0O, and
that the owners do not earn any more
wages because they possess the wheels,
and therefore concludes that the bulk
of the owners economize in the matter
Of food, boots and shoes, clothing,
shaves, drinks, street car rides, liver
les, and so on. That genius thinks that
the wheel, which has afforded so much
pleasure and brought rosy cheeks to
heretofore pale faces in such large
numbers, is destined to Keep on main
tanning hard times. That genius will
bring up in madhouse if he does not
throw over that peculiar phase of the
bicycle question. His friends should
present him with bicycle and set him
to riding it. That will be the sureSt
way to divert him from suicide or an
insane asylum. What the world wants
on the bicycle question is information
that will lead to the extinction of the
ScOrcher So.

man as Tarleton soon was known to


be.
When the colonel and his staff were
summoned to the dining-room they sat
down to table which fairly. groaned
beneath the good things heaped upon
it. 1t was such a dinner as only the
South Carolina matrons knew how to
prepare, and the men soon became jo-

a captain, eff this is the way we are to
be treated. l suppose when this little
war is over all this country will be di-
vided among the soldiers. Eth, col
onel?"
"Undoubtedly the officers will occupy
large portions Of the country" replied
Tarleton.
"Yes, l know just how much they
will each occupy" said Mrs. Slocumb,
unable to maintain silence longer.
"And how much will that be, mad
ann" inquired Tarleton, bowling low.
''Six feet two"
The colonel's face again flushed with
anger, as he replied: Excuse me,
but 1 shall endeavor to have this very
plantation made over to me as a ducal
seat.'
81 have husband, whom you seem
to forget, and 1 can assure you he is
not the man to allow even the king
himself to have a quiet seat on his
ground"
But the conversation suddenly was
interrupted by the sounds of firing.
"Some struggling scout running
away" said one of the men, not quite
willing to leave the table.
"No, sir. There are rifles there, and
a good many Of them, too," said Tarle-
ton, rising quickly and running to the
piazza, an example which all, including
Mrs. Slocumb, at once followed. She
was trembling now, for she felt assur-
ed that she could explain the cause Of
the commotion.
"May ask, madam" said Tarleton,
turning to her as soon as he had given
his orders for the action of his troops,
whether any of Washington's forces
are in this neighborhood or nOt?"
