A Brief md Quiet Chapter from the
Story of His Varied Life.
II don't think I was ever much
scared" said retired burglar, accord
ing to the Norfolk Sun, '"but I have
been as much scared by slight, little
things, that were of no real account as
by anything else. For instance, by the
scratching of rat, starting up sudden
ly and running around in the wall. I
was never more disturbed than 1 was
once by the absolute stiffness of a room
that I was in. It was dead and oppres-
sive; and I couldn't account for it.
II swung my lamp around and saw
the usual things that you might expect
to see in such room-it was dining
room-including clock on the mantel.
1t was a pendulum clock. one of the
kind that has little clear space in the
lower part of the glass front, through
which you can see the pendulum as it
swings back and forth. The lamp
simply swept across the face of the
clock, as it swung around, and an in
slant later I realized that I had seen no
pendulum swinging back and forth be-
hind that clear space. 1t wastnt swing
ing. The clock had stopped
II set my lamp on the shelf, and
opened the door of the clock and started
up the pendulum, and then heard the
regular ticking of the clock. And that
was all wanted. Butt what a relief it
was to hear it. I could sort the spoons
now with a cheerful spirit"

STATES WITH INDIAN NAMES.
Seventeen of the Forty-Five Given
Aboriginal Applications.

Seventeen OF the Forty-Five Given
Aboriginal Applications.
Our state got it's name before the rev..
olution, or it would have been named
Oglethorpe, says the Atlanta Constitu-
ton. After the revolution was over
and peace was made, it was proposed
to change it's name. but it did not carry.
Several of the states had been named
for kings and queens, and they were
not changed. Since then most of the
new states have been named for Indian
tribes, and that is about all the poor
Indian got as he moved toward the set
ting sun. He left his name behind him.
Seventeen of the new states have Indian
names, and it is O curious fact that only
one state bears the name of any great
man Of our country, and that is the state
of Washington. One other state chose
the name of Franklin, and kept it for
some time, but for some reason it did
not stick, and was changed to Tennes-
see. But the great man has "a counties
named for him in "a different states. I
don't see why some Of the new states
that came in after the revolution were
not named for Adams and jefferson
and Monroe and Madison and Patrick
Henry and other fathers Of liberty, But
suppose that even these great men had
their enemies in congress, and they COM
promised on the Indians. Partisan poll
tics had much to do whit.

MAKING BRICKS WITH OIL
Found to BE Cheaper and Better Than
Any Other Fuel.

Found to BE Cheaper and Better Than
Any Other Fuel.
An experiment. of considerable In
terest to brick manufacturersa and deal
ers has been tried in brickyard in New
York state, fuel oil being used instead
of wood or coal oil to burn a kiln of
bricks. Fuel oil is the product left after
crude petroleum has been refined. 1t
has been used for some time as fuel for
engines and furnaces, but it's adapta-
bility for the more delicate operation
Of bt. ming pottery or bricks is a recent
discovery. The success of the expert
ment, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch, is
likely to reduce the cost of brick max
ing in considerable degree. Forced
draught is an important factor in the
system, and by it the heat from the
burner can be directed at a uniform
temperature toward any part of the
arch of the kiln. The oil runs in pipes
around the base cS the kiln and feeds
directly from the burner in the arch in
the interior. The forced draught "feeds
in with the oil, and by the turning of
valve the heat can be regulated at any
point within the arch. :.
It is claimed that the use of oil is
much cheaper than that of either coal
or wood for brick burning. The cost of
burning 1000 bricks with wood at five
dollars a cord is so cents; the cost where
coal is rsed is so cents; with oil the cost
is 3S cents. In burning bricks with wood
IL men are required every "a hours: if
oil is used two men can do the work.
The new method is quicker, completing
the burning of the Kiln in six days, in
stead of seven or eight, as formerly, and
the bricks are better, because with the
forced air draught the temperature of
the kiln is entirely under control.

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAP



William, sixth Earl of Douglas, in
crossing his estates, chances upon a
beautltul lady, one Of the retinue OF
The French ambassador. who is on his
Way to Edinburgh. The young earl
loses his heart to the fair lady, and, on
the point of promising to go with her
to the court Of the Scottish king, he is
torcib-y carried away, under cover Of a
heavy storm, by Malise McKim, the
Douglas armorer, and Abbott William
Douglas, who think the lady a witch.
On the following day, at the great re
view of 10000 Douglas retainers, the
earl again meets the Lady Sybilla, and
at once makes her the Queen OF
Beauty. Sholto McKim, son of the ar
mOrer, distinguishes himself in arch
cry and is made captain of the castle
guard. Sholto falls in love with Maud
LINDSAY, maid OF honor to the earl S
sister, and, on the first night Of his
stewardship. proves his valor by
Wcunding a. huge animal which has
frightened the young ladies. The next
day the French ambassador is suspi-
ciously i'll, but Lady Sybilla, accom-
panied by the three Douglas cousins,
rides away to witness the second days
tourney in the precincts of the castle
Of Thrieve. winning on the way the
coveted promise from William to ac-
company her to Edinburgh. Sholto's
archer guards protect the castle halls,
wound servant Of the Ere CmbaS-
sador and keep Maud Lindsey and her
charge imprisoned by mistake all day.
On the third day the Douglas cousins
enter the lists, as also the French am
bassadOr, who foully casts his spear at
The young Earl Of Douglas and wounds
him. In the combat that follows Sholto
shows such bravery that he is knighted.
ON the return to the castle Maud
Lindsay playfully bids farewell to the
ShOlto Of old and only appeases his
subsequent wrath by assuming q loving
penitence.
James. earl Of Avondale; Sir Alexan-
der Livingston, the guardian of the
kings person: Sir William Crichton,
chancellor of the realm, and Marshal de
Retz, the ambassador of France. begin
to plot against the earl of Douglas.
Through the aid Of Lady Sybiila, the
niece of De Retz. William. with a small
following, including Sholto. is induced
TO visit the Castle Crichton, where en-
emies entertain him royalty
The young earl falls deeper into love
with Sybilla, and she, in turn, overcome
by his sincerity and complete confidence
in her, confesses her love for him, and
then urges him to return home with all
speed. Marshall. de Retz takes Sybilla
TO Edinburgh and William accepts the
invitation of The young king of Scot
land to visit the court, in the hope Of
meeting his lady love. The king and
the two Douglas brothers become great
friends, but even the king cannot ward
off the calamity about to fall on the
Douglas. At a banquet a huge boar's
head is brought in, a sign Of treachery,
and in spite of the brave attempts Of
ShOlto to protect his master, the earl
and his brother, charged with treason,
are arrested and put in dungeons.

CHAPTER XXX.
THE LION AT BAY.

The morning had broken broad and
clear from the east when the door of
the prison house was opened, and SEN
eschal appeared. He saluted the broth
ers and in a shaking voice summoned
them to come forth and be tried for the
offenses of treason and rebellion against
the king and his ministers.
Wili9m of Douglas waved a hand to
him, but answered nothing to the sum-
mons. He wasted no words upon one
who merely did as he was hidden. All
night the brothers had sat looking out
on the city humming sleeplessly be-
meath them till the light slowly dawned

him underneath the tower, I, Malise

child in my arms, even as I did from
under the pine trees at Loeb Roam"
And as he spoke the strain of the rope
and its swaying over the window-sill
proclaimed that the mighty form of the
master-armorer was even then on its
way upward toward the dungeon of his
chief
The earl went to the window and
