And while Close slowly began his cal
culations, the squad under Sergt. Nc
Bride tramped out upon the dusty rcd
road, most of the men following as
though to see them around the bend.
while Lambert, vaguely troubled, and
feeling, somehow, that he ought to be
with his detachment even though his
superior officer called him back, stood
locking anxiously after them.
II thought you had twenty or so left
in your wallet, lieutenant" said Close.
'Just look, will you? You needn't be
in any hurry. Mcbride knows just what
to do. I'd change them clothes if was

Lambert had slipped his hand into his
breastpocket, then began searching the
others. All in vain; the little, fiat
pocketbook was gone; and now 1t
flashed across his mind that he must
have whisked it out with his handker-
chief, which he carried, after the West
Point fashion Of those days, in the
breast of his coat, just after he started
on the run back to camp. Even as he
began to tell of his loss the men came
springing down the bank and bursting
through the bushes in their haste to
reach their arms and equipments.
'What's up pow?" hailed Close, still
slowly writing and never moving from
his seat.
"Firing over near town, sir" called
a sergeant.
''That so?" asked the veteran, impcr-
turbably. Get 'em under arms, SER
geaut. Guess you'd better catch up
with Mcbride, lieutenant" said he to
Lambert, whose boyish face could not
but betray his excitement. Hold on Il
second" he shouted, for Lambert hal
darted at the word. SWAT, lieutenant"
shouted Burns, and. wondering, Lam
bert looked back. Close was holding
out the pen to him.
"Sign these, first off, will you?" said
he.

as soon as the shots were heard, Lam
bert led them a. double time.
"Put stop to anything they're at.
I'll be after you with the whole com
pany," Close had shouted after him.
The deputy marshal had disappeared.
"Mr. Parmelee somewhere ahead?''
painted the lieutenant to the sergeant
trotting by his side.
Somewhere behind, sir. He'll come
rallopin' in after we get there-per-
haps."
The road led into town from the
northeast. Lambert could see the rail-
way embankment and the old wooden
bridge before they rounded the turn
from which they came in sight of the
belfry and the roofs. Somebody had
begun to ring the bell, and there came
the sound of shouting with an OCCASION
al shrin yell. Then nor: shots, Il
short suffering fusillade, and more
shouts, suggestively derisivc and farther
away.
"What's going on, do you suppose"'
asked Lambert of his bulky second in
commands: and Mcbride, with one hand
steadying the absurd long sword then
worn by our sergeants, and the other
cla,nping his rife at the right shoulder,
puffingly answered:

Another minute of running brought
them to the outskirts of the struggling
town. Women and children corad BE-

PYNCHEONS WENT FOR HIM.
Trouble That Came to an Author Be-
cause of Name.

When Hawthorne was writing
"The House of the Seven Gables" he
selected "Pyncheon" as the name OF
one of his characters. 1t suited his
purposes, and whether he created il
or remembered it seemed to him to
make no difference, for he conceived
it to be as much his property for the
purpose intended as Smith or Jones
or Brown. He soon learned better.
Whether he knew it at the time or
not, New England was full of Pynch-
cons, and the book had hardly been
placed on sale when one of them
wrote him a very bitter letter COM
planning grievously of the injustice
done his worthy ancestor, Judge
Pyncheon.
Hawthorne Immediately sat down
and wrote Mr. Pyncheon a letter ex-
pressing regret, and assuring him
most positively that no disrespect to
the late lamented judge had been in
tended.
The letter had hardly been posted
when a missive arrived from another
of the PyncheOns even more wrath
full than the first. This, too, was po-
litely answered, and Hawthorne had
begun to hope that his troubles with
the Pyncheons were at an end. But,
in fact, they were only beginning, for
the first two PyncheOns were resi-
dents of almost the same neighbor-
hood. When the circulation of the
book increased the back counties be-
gan to be heard from, and host of
Pyncheons, great and small, old and
young, prominent and obscure, as
sailed the unfortunate writer for de-
flaming their ancestor.
In all, Hawthorne is said to have
answered letters from AZ of the
Pyncheons, and had serious thoughts
of publishing the correspondence in
book form.

The Oyster.

The sentiment which annually
greets the return of the oyster from
its summer vacation may not be of an
esthetic sort, but certainly it is as re-
mote as possible from mercenary con-
siderations of commerce. And yet
the oyster not only stands for a great
delicacy, but a great industry that
will in time be vastly greater. 1t is
shown by government statistics, for
instance, that of the 35,000,000 bush
els of oysters consumed throughout
the world each year, 30,000,000
bushels are supplied by the United
States and that the oyster fishery ex-
GELS any other fishery in Importance
Add to this that the industry is es-
pecially important in the states OF
New Jersey and Maryland-the lat
ter alone producing One-third of the
worlds crop-and it will be seen that
there are special reasons why Phila-
delphia should be cordial to the oys-
ter, and should greet its advent with
a degree of effusiveness not extended
to any other thing in the edible list
with the possible exception Of the
Thanksgiving turkey.-Philadelphia

To Study Plant Diseases.

An experiment station for what
had been called the "vivisection, of
plants" has been established by the
department of agriculture in Wash
ington. Somewhat similar stations
exist elsewhere, but it is said to be the
intention to make this more extensive
than any other. Valuable results
are expected from the study Of the
diseases Of plants, and it has long
been suggested that this may lead to
the employment Of "plant doctors"
just as now we have doctors for meh
and animals. ....

a tribe Of ,agrant bees, following
! The lead Of a near-sighted old queen
who had lost her bearings, swarmed
about Ilaswel's drug store at the COR
ner Of Sixteenth and Lawrence
streets, says the Denver Republican,
and for awhile had the corner all to
themselves. The unusual sight of
thousands Of honey bees buzzing
around one Of the busiest corners in
town soon attracted big crowd Of
people, who at first stood off mt a re-
spectful distance and looked on. The
queen lit on the tail gate of an ex-
press wagon, and it was curious to see
how quickly the bees swarmed around
her until they were piled up foot
deep, while hundreds of the insects
buzzed around overhead or lit OH the
horse, on the sidewalk and on the
clothing of the bystanders. When it
was found that the bees were pacif-
cally disposed the bystanders moved
closer, and some boys, holder than the
others, even picked up handfuls of the
bees and were not harmed.
Some one got a packing box from
the drug store, poured molasses in the
bottom Of it and placed it handy for
the bees, but they did not move into
the habitation provided. a big
policeman, seeing the crowd, saun-
tered up to find out what was the
trouble It was desirable in the in
terests of the public safety to get the
bees to move on, but he didn't know
how to go about it, 50 he had to re-
main on duty and wait for develop
ments.
Occasionally venturesome boy
would stir up the pile of bees just to
see the crowd scatter. The bees
would settle on passengers in the open
cars as they stopped just before cross
ing Sixteenth street, and then there
would, be a panic. Women on BIZ
cycles ran into the cloud of insects
before they were aware of their dan
ger, and, screeching at every revolu-
ton, they scorched down the street
frantic with fear, just because a few
dozen harmless bees were tickling
them on the face, neck or arms.
Where the swarm came from or
where they have set out to go was, of
course, a mystery Some farmer
around Wheatland or Littleton is
| probably the loser, and the owner of
the express wagon now has a swarm
of bees which he has no{use for, but
was forced to take home with him
because they took a fancy to his
wagon and would not leave it. A
young man who said he knew al
about bees attempted to shovel the
insects into a box with paper fan
They offered no resistance, but would
not stay in the box, and in the end The
expressman had to drive home with
a halo of bees encircling his head and
the wagon bed half full of bees

Case Of q successful Character De-
IinSltion from Handwriting.
In 1885, shortly after the Missouri,

organized, and before President Still
well had evolved any of the uumcr-
Gus railroad projects which have
since made him one Of the noted
American railroad promoters, his at

to send delineations Of character TO
those who forwarded him specimens
of their handwriting accompanied by
modest remittance. A friend of
President Stilwell suggested it would
be,interesting to est"Grapho's" abil-
Fities in character delincation. His
extensive ADVERTISING indicated he
must be doing a thriving business,
and Mr. StiIwell sent a specimen Of
his handwritingandthc small amount
prequred for delineation.
1t was several days before
"Grapho" replied, and when the de-
lineation was received President Still
well treated it as a joke, showed it to
few intimate friends, and laid it
away, probably forgetting all about
it in a short time
Doubtless he has recalled it fire.
quently since that time. One of his
friends to whom it was shown when
received, Mr. +. J. Dawson, at that
time secretary of the Missouri, Kan

other day that the delincation was
very much more in detail than those
received by others who had written to
"Grapho" at about the same time.

A Girl Who Carries in Her Optics
~ the Image of Doll.
Emma Byers, a 15-year-old girl,
who lives at No. 1923 Budd street,
Cincinnati, has in the pupil of each
eye the perfect image of fully
dressed doll This freak of nature
is ascribed to parental influence
Shortly before Emma's birth her
mother saw a number of dolls in the
window of a shop, and, being attract
ed by them, she stopped every time
any errand brought her that way and
spent some time looking at the play
things.
The doll baby images were visible
at Emma's birth and have remained
unchanged ever since Their pres
ence in her eyes seems to have not the
slightest effect upon her vision. Her
eges are particularly strong and have
heher given her any trouble They
have been examined by number.of
oculists, who have given long scien-
tifc descriptions of the phenomenon,
but make no effort to explain it.
ga defect in nature" is the best
explanation of why this girl, when
she looks at an object, has reflected
on the pupils of her eyes rot that OBJ
ject, but the image of a fully dressed
doll. Ever since she was born Emma
6Aas attracted much attention When
> She was a baby museum managers
tried to get her in their shows and
scientists sought 10 examine her eyes.
OF late she has not had SO much no
toriety
The defect in the eyes is not dis
agreement; indeed, it would not be
noticed by the casual observer, al
though clearly to be seen on careful
examination Emma is a pretty little
girl, rather proud of the attention she
attracts.-N. Y. World.
