all sorts OF lodges to pull the wool over

OF rheumatism. 1t Is practically impos-

procure his discharge from the service
with a pension attachment. He got out of
the service all right by going over the side

Here was defiance, revolt, instruction
and riot-and yet somehow Mrs. Kilpatrick
and Flora felt relieved when the explosion
came. Aunt Candace was very much in
earnest. but 1t needed something Of the
Kind to rouse mother and daughter from
the stupor of helpless grief They began
to move about and set things to rights and
In a little while all their faculties came
back to them. The house girl returned
with cold water and towel, and Aunt

With that Aunt Candace waddled out into
the Kitchen. where she busted herself max

wood bark which Plato had been sent after
To those in the house Plato seemed to be
making a good long stay at the branch, but
Plato was doing the best he could. He had
so much confidence In his mammy's skill
and experience, and was so anxious in be-
half of his young master. that he took
pains in selecting the trees from which he
was to chop the bark. And then he was
very particular to the quality of the
bark; and, in order that there might be no
mistake about 1t, he Clipped OF a larger
supply than was necessary. This took time
and so when he was ready to start back to
the big house he heard his nanny calling
him. and there was a certain vital emphasis
In her remarks that caused him to return

so noble a tongue as his could not be
spoken by mean-spirited race. Lecturing
before the members of the Anglo-Russian
Literary Society at the Imperial Institute,
Mr.. Alexander Kinloch expressed scarcely
less admiration of the Slavonic language.
Apart from the Russians claim to possess
one Of the most musical tongues In Europe,
Mr.. Kinloch declared that the gramma teal
system was remarkable for Its precision.
and that the declensions and Infections
made the sentences rlore readable than
those of German. Mr.. Kinloch's views ap-
peared to be shared by all the other speak
ers. MIR. Marchant asserted that Russian
was a key to the other Siavonic languages,
one of which. Bulgarian, he regarded as

Scolding and domineering, Aunt Candacs
went ahead with her brewing. and. in q
little while, had a crock OF dogwood bark
tea ready. as well q red oak bark
poultice. Her remedies were simple, but
she had the greatest faith in them. She
applied the poultice to the wound on the
shattered collarbone. and compelled Jack
to drink tumblerful Of the dogwood bark
tea. The dose was heroic one. and bitter
In proportion To certain extent both
remedies were efi1cacious. The poultice was
a cooling astringent, and the tea allayed
the fever-for somewhere in the dogwood
tree. between root and blossom, there lies
the active principle Of quinine. Jack fell
into a deep sleep. from which he was
aroused by one of those remarkable events
that could have occurred in no country but
the American republic.
III.
When Plato started back to the house
from the spring branch, where he had
been chipping the red oak and dogwood
bark. he was in such hurry that he
forgot his ak, and when he wanted it
again a few hours afterward he hunted
all over the yard for it until he suddenly
remembered that he had left it where he
had been chopping the bark. He started
after 1t, but as he was going down the
spring branch he heard a clatter in the
road to the left, and, looking in that direc-
ton, saw two federal cavalrymen galloping
by.
"Ah-yi?' he exclaimed, as If by that
means he could find vent for surprise, and
slipped behind tree. The day was raw
and drizziy. and there was no movement
on the plantation. The negroes were in
their cabins. the horses were in their
stables, the mules we're standing quietly
under the long shed in the lot, and even
the sheep that were in the ginhouse pasture
were huddled together under shelter, nib
bling at pile Of waste cotton seed The
riders were couriers, and Plato, observing
them, saw that they did not pursue the
