ed over the change In their daughter,
who was bat a ghost Of her former
self.
At last a letter came from Jim, only
two or three blurred lines. and then
Glory seemed to change.
With almost return Of her old-time
brightness, she went about her house
hold duties until the twilight came, and
then, drawing a parent On either side
of her, Glory began, ha1f-timidly:
II want to ask you both to consent to
my marrying Jim as soon as he returns.
l want to care for this mangled and in
tured one and nurse him back to what
health remains for him; I promised
to be true to him, and meant it." and
she looked pleadingly at both parents.
"But, Glory dear, be can never sup
port you, and probably not himself"
interposed her mother.
mo, mamma, have thought Of that,
but 1t is no burden to care for those we
love, and / am strong and young, be-
sides our great and generous Govern

afraid to try and shall succeed" and
in the light Of the slowly rising moon
the upturned face was angelic in its
sweetness and purity.
II want to be married beneath the
old bullet-ridden fiag-my namesake,
you know-for you see your little Glory
has found something to do for her
country"
And so it was all settled, and when

T HE civil war had been over just
ten years when Glory Price was
- born.
They called her Glory because, when
her soldier father had, with awkward
tenderness, first taken the warm little
bundle into his one arm, he had glanced
up at the bullet-riddled flag that al
ways hung above the family mantel
and said softly: Margaret I nearly
gave my life for old glory and you
all but gave yours for baby; suppose
we call her little GloryY" and the
gentle mother had answered.: Gall
right, John; she shall be our little
Glory"
The neighbors had said II was silly
sort Of name; that Harriet or Susan or
even fancy name like Rose would
have gone beautifully with Price; but
they for their parts never knew o child
with such a fool name to come to any
good. and they one and all hoped that
she would be true to her name and not
come to an inglorious end; but 1t was
plainly evident they did not look for
any such a miracle and would be al
most disappointed If the united pre-
diction of the neighborhood should
prove untrue.
Notwithstanding the shadow of her
name little Glory thrived and grew so
sweet and winsome that even passing
strangers would stop to pat the crown
of golden curls and gaze into the per-
feet face.
Nothing pleased her childish fancy
more than to hear tales Of the uphold
ing of the old flag, and oftentimes with
shining eyes she would stroke the emp

who tho carlists Ara.

A number Of readers are curious to
know what is meant by the frequent
reference to the fear of "Carlist up
rising'' in Spain. At the death of
King Ferdinand of Spain, in 1883, his
8-year-old daughter, Isabella H., sue
ceeded to the throne, though Carlos,
Ferdinand's brother, claimed to be en-
titled to the honor under the salic law,
which provided that no kemale should
60 to the throne as long as any male
! descendant of the King was living.
This law. however, had been revoked
by Ferdinand, who had no children at
the time, but six months after his death
daughter was born. and she became
queen to the exclusion Of Carlos. The
latter's descendants, who are called
Carlists, have since persistently insist
ed that, by right of succession, the
throne belongs to them, and for over
so years Spain has been subject to Car
list uprisings, which have simply meant
number OF unsuccessful wars, the de-
struction of property, and general pub
lie unrest. The Carlists have found
their strength In what are caltf the
Basque provinces, dominated mostly
by the clergy, who believe in the divine
right of kings and OF kingly success
sion. The Inhabitants of the Basque
region are largely shepherds and farm
ers. They are good fighters, and have
been the main strength Of the Carlist
forces. A strong sentiment In favor Of
a republic exists in the cities, where
the people have been led to independ-
ent views by education, reading and
travel. 1t is unnecessary to say that be-
tween what are called the Republicans
and the Carlists there Is strong anti
pathy, for their aims are radically diff

New French Microphone.

A new microphone is being exhibited
before the French Academy of Sciences.
1t detects at great distance the ap-
proach of a ship. whether an armored
vessel or a torpedo boat. and gives its
warning with great clearness. 1t is to
be subjected to- tests at Cherbourg.
Some years ago Commander Banare
proposed an instrument which he called
a hydrophone and by which he was able
to hear at distance OF a mile or mile
and a half vibrations produced by q
screw OF a torpedo boat, or the more
regular beat of the screw of large bat
tleship. 1t consisted of ertight
box, the vibratory plate being inside
to prevent the pressure of the water
from acting upon 1t too directly. The
wires from the transmitter were carried
first to f1oat to make sure the trans
mittef would be continually immersed;
from the float the wires were carried to
a receiver on ship or on the shore.
Thus with two or three miles of wire
1t becomes possible to receive warning
of the spproach of a vessel from four
20 five miles distant.

der "what little girl like Glory Price
could ever do to serve her country"
"Be a true soldiers daughter" her
father would reply; "for some day the
union may need strong men and brave
women again, you know"
b The years came and went, bringing
with them a rare and perfect woman
hood, for the old soldiers daughter.
She was still Glory Price, for to one
after another she had said "No,"
scarcely realizing that her heart was
afioat with one who was serving under
the old fiag until she read that the bat
tleship Maine -Jim's ship-had been or
dered to Havana harbor to protect
&. American interests there. Unshed
tears trembled in the blue eyes at the
thought that perhaps she should not
see him again, and, startled at what
she read in her own heart, Glory flung
herself upon her little white bed in
an agony Of tears.
But Jim did come, Just to say good

homestead, Glory thought him the
handsomest and bravest looking man
she ever saw.

and then my reward will be the sweet

You will be true to me, will you not,

himself further, the strong man pas
sionately kissed the tear-stained face
and was gone.
She could not shake off the strange
forboding that would not leave her un-

Then came the horrible days of wait

Poison for Arrow Tins.

The following description of the maxi
ing of the preparation for the poisoning
OF arrows by q Piute warrior comes
from an authentic source:
First the Piute gathered more than
q dozen rattlesnakes' heads and put
them into an earthen jar. Then he
gathered q lot of big red ants whose
bite Is more poisonous than the sting of
the bumblebee. These ants he put into
the jar with the rattlesnakes' heads
and upon the whole he poured water
Then he sealed up the vessel tightly.
After that he dug hole, two feet deep,
In the ground, wherein he put some
large stones upon which he built a
roaring fire. When the interior of the
hole and the stones were red hot. he
made place In the bottom for the lar
and put 1t In. About 1t and upon It he
heaped the Goals and hot stones, and
then upon the top of the whole he built
another fierce fire which he kept burn
ing for twenty-four hours. After 1t
had gone out he dug out the pot, and,
standing some distance away from II.
he disengaged the top and let the
fumes escape, saying that If they had
struck his face they would have killed
him. The mass in the jar was then O
dark-brown paste.
In order to test the concoction the
Indian made cut in his leg just below
the ankle. Then, taking q stick, he
dipped 1t into the poison and touched
the running blood. 1t began Immediate
ly to sizzle, and the poison followed the
stream of blood up the leg until the
Indian scraped It off with his knife.
He declared that If he had allowed the
poison to reach the mouth of the wound
he would have been killed Instantly by
the virus. All of which seems reason
able enough.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
