They Knew Ma,

The train had stopped for a few min
utes at a station out on the plains, and
two or three barefooted girls and boys
had their backs against the depot and
their fingers in their mouths, while
they stared at the passengers. Sudden
ly boy of about ten years dashed
around the corner of the station and
called to his brother and sister: You,
Joey! Ma says if you an Maggie don't
come right straight home she'll-sheu
well, l forgit what, but she'll do it, sure,
for you know what ma is when she gifts

vealed to me what seemed to be some
kind of wooden door, rudeiy painted
to represent the surrounding stone
walls. But there was no sign of bolt,
latch or hinge. If this was a door it
must close with a spring lock which
was on the other side. But then how
was it opened? Rapping upon the wood
produced a hollow sound. Undoubted-
lv there was some kind of apartment
behind it.
What was it used for, and where did
it lead to? Was there a passage way
behind the door leading to the walled
up cellar under my bedroom? This
was probable, as the door was in the
wall nearest the main building.
Some one had gone through the door
on the night of my arrival, and, startled
by the pistol shot at my reflection, had
allowed it to slam.
Standing before the place and reason
ing thus to myself, / noticed a small
hole between two stones at about the
height of my chest. Resting one hand
down to examine it more closely.
Immediately there was binding
flash right in my eyes, a hot flame al
most burning my cheek, a loud report
then total darkness. The candle was
shattered in my hand. There was the
smell of burnt powder, and my lungs
told me of the smoke which filed the
cellar. Half stunned, 1 groped about
for the stairway, but it was some time
before located it and assembled
The soft, pure air outside partly re-
vived me, and managed to drag myself
across the yard to the main building and
so to my room. On the first occasion,
terror had lent aeetness to my feet; now
they seemed weighted with lead. A
numbed Indifference to my surround
ings was over me. / was heavy-head-
ed and drowsy, SO much SO that l fell
asleep.

brought me to standing position. a
glance at my watch told me it was
past nine o'clock, and that | had slept
two hours. When / put back my coat
for the purpose of replacing the watcl
in my vest pocket. a rustling of paper
attracted my attention.
This brought to my mind the piece [

lar and hastily thrust into my coat
pocket. / took it out and examined it.
Among the securities lost by the bank
in the robbery was batch of Morgan
county refunding bonds. There had
been 100 of them issued, each of 81 900
denomination, and the bank had pur-
chased the entire issue.
The paper picked up in the cook
house cellar, and which now held in
my hand, was one of thoss 81 600 bonds.

COnsn Marriages.

The results of consanguineous mar
riages have been differently regarded
by various authors of note. Esquirol
attributed to them predisposition to
insanity among the descendants.
Meniere asserts that in the majority of
cases deaf mutes owe their infirmity
to the ties of relationship between their
parents. Lucas thinks that these mar
risges are a cause of degeneration in
the human race, producing mental dull
ness, brutality, insanity, inpotency, etc.
Liebreich states that consanguinity is
frequently the cause of pigmentary
retinitis among the descendants. Ray
maud ranks it among the conditions
which may produce albinism. On the
other hand, some authorities have eX-
plicitly declared themselves in favor of
such marriages, and assert that they
are not at all injurious, and that gen.
era!ly they give good results. In the
face of such extreme opinions it is per-
haps not astonishing that there are to
be found names of equally high repute
among those who affirm that these mar
riages are productive of both good and
evil results, depending on whether or
rot any constitutional disease affects
either party.-N. Y. Tribune.

Several years ago, when the famous
old siren whistle was blown so fre-
quently at the river mouth-no, not by
the river mouth-a certain East end
family owned a COW. She was just an
ordinary cow in all respects, save one
The siren whistle had a remarkable eff
feet upon her. Every blessed time the
whistle started in to wall and moan
that COW started UP vigorous series of
moos. And the most curious feature
about it was that the cows vocal ef-
fort ran up and down the scale in a
fairly close imitation of the whistle.
"Too-oo-oooo-ooo!" would go to the
siren. "Moo-oo-oooo-ooo!" would go to
the COW. But there was always wild
crescendo shricx at the end of the 81
rcp's efforts that no cOw-no matter
how accomplished-cou hope to rival.
And this COW, being a sensible and rath-
er rhlegmatic animal, didn't attempt
it. Sut her efforts within reasonable
limits never failed to arouse the hilari
Gus atte7tion of the ueighbors, and
frequently caused nstghbors to pause
by the fence and listeu openmouthed
tothe astonishing performance.-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

CHAPTER XIV.

How did the bond which was stolen
from the Safety Security company
over a year ago get into the eel
longing to a former employe of the
bank? Who could have dropped it
there, and where were the rest? Was
a. trap laid for me?
Sonptag, Skinner, Jackson, the I'M
explained and curious relation between
these three, the walled-up cellar, the
underground passage undoubtedly lead
ing to it, and so safely guarded-what
could it all mean? Was it possible
that my old house was the receptacle of
the stolen property, and Sonntag,
Skinner, even Jackson, the gang, or
portion of it, had perpetrated the rob-
berry?
If this was true, then there was an
attempt being made to furnish some
proof which would throw conviction
upon me.
Was this the mystery which sur
rounded me? Single-handed, how could
l hope to cope successfully with it?
Jake Hunsicker and his wife were to
be depended upon as far as their judg-
ment and ability went. 1 thought of Mr..
Morley, who, being a trustee of the
bank, would naturally be interested in
the affair. But that gentleman's own
evident troubles, and the unwillingness
to add a greater load to the already
overburdened man, turned me from the
idea of aid from that direction.
There was another one, and the
thought had no sooner come into my
head than | proceeded to follow it up.
Stealing cautiously from the house,
| went out to the barn and saddled the
horse, mounted, and was soon tearing
down the Sidington road.

CHAPTER NIII.-CoNTINUED.

My old nurse insisted on my remain
Ing at her house for dinner, and left
me seated on the porch while she went
inside to prepare the meal.
From my seat | could see the station
far down the hill, through the trees.
Two men were moving about on the
platform, but the distance was too
great to allow distinction of anything
but their forms.
Remembering then that my field
glass had been left here at Sarah's
house on the morning of my arrival,
called in to have her bring it to me,
which she did.
Taking the glass from the case I ad-
3usted it to my eye and then turned it
toward the station.
My sight had not deceived me even
TN the momentary glimpse of the face
at the window.
The face was Horace Jackson's, and
there the fellow was now, standing on
the edge of the pla atform, speaking most
earnestly, judging by the vehement
gestures, to the station agent.

tiles, and was seized with a trembling
fit. My knees smote together, and my
hand shook so that the flame of the
candle was nearly extinguished.
The return of my fear, however, made
me all the more resolved to go on. l
gritted my teeth, and, advancing my
pistol in readiness, slowly began the
descent. Not a sound greeted my ears
save that made by my own footsteps
After reaching the bottom step l held
the candle aloof and gazed expectantly
around.
The room was about 90 feet square;
the fiat stones with which it was paved
and the surrounding walls were Shiny
with moisture, and here and there re-
fected back the light of the candle
That was all. No human being was in
sight, not a sign Of one having been
here.
At my feet a part of the stone pave
ment had been removed and plank in
serted. Lying near the edge of the
plank was paper with some printing
on the outside, like that on bond or
deed. I stepped down upon the plank,
and again noticed that one end
sank under my weight. Stoop-
ing down to pick up the paper,
my ears were again assaiIed by the sol
emn admonition seeming to come from
the opposite side of the cellar: AN
other step means death. Pause before
you take it,"
Grabbing the paper, I quickly re-
sumed an upright position, and, hold
ing the candle above me, gazed intent
ly in the direction of the voice. There
was nothing but the walls around me-
With cautious tread took the forbid
den step.
Back, for your life! Back, for your
life." The words were hurled at me
in fiercer tones than before.
/ advanced another step, and still
lived. Waiting a few moments, with at
tcntion strained to fix the spot whence
the voice sounded, and being given no
further warning, l began by the light
of the candle to search the place close
ly with my eyes. Where could the voice
have come from? No possible hiding
place appeared; nothing but the bare
walls.
Moving the candle about, it struck me
that there was a space in the wall op-
posite which did not reflect back the
light, which did not have over it the
dank green ooze. WheD | approached
nearer, two cracks running parallel
perpendicularly, and about two feet
apart, became apparent. Iran my hand
over the intervening space, and found
it smooth. A close examination re-

IT CANNOT BE.

1t cannot be that He who made
This wondrous world for our delight,
Designed tnat all it's charms should fade.
And pass forever from our sight;
That all shall wither and decay,
And know on earth no life but this,
With only one finite survey
or all its beauty and its bliss.
IT cannot be that all the years
or toll and care and grief we live
Shall find no recompense but tears,
No sweet return that earth can give;
That all that leads us to aspire
And struggle onward to achieve,
With every unattained desire,
Was given only to deceive.
It cannot be that after all
The mighty conquests of the mind
Our thoughts shall pass beyond recall.
And leave no record here behind:
That all our dreams of love and fame,
And hopes that time has swept away,
All that enthralled this mortal fame,
Shall not return some other day.
1t cannot be that all the ties
or kindred souls and loving hearts
Are broken when this body dies,
And the immortal mind departs:
That no serener light shall break
At last upon our mortal eyes,
To guide us as our footsteps make
The pilgrimage of Paradise.
