the tears welled up instead. They were
as quickly dried and he said, "You see,

But Mrs. Packard sat as IL she were

and all the mother love asserted itself
as she clasped the stalwart lad in her
arms and kissed him passionately.
"Oh, my boy, my all. how can I let you
so? What will mother do without
you:"
"How old arc you, my man." asked
the examining physician Of Horace,
later in the day?
Seventeen, Sir" responded the boy,
promptly.
"Um! UNI" was the suggestive ex.
clamation. This was followed by more
questions. II see, I sec," said the old
doctor. "Why didn't you add a year to
1t; that's what lots Of them do. You'd
have stood a better chance IL you had"
Horace stretched himself to his full
height, and the physician continued. 81
don't need to ask you If you are strong,
for your physique speaks for itself, but
your age certainly stands in the way.
Do you think you would be able to

For reply Horace placed five chairs
in a row, leaped ove each in turn, then
faced around, and vaulted over the en-
tire group with n bound.

ton, but said, Something of IN atll-

When %truc-heartcd men in North and
South met and understood each other,
there was real enmity between
them. A certain virginian lived near
the field of Mechanicsvillc, where Nc
Clellan fought one of his severe battles
in the summer of 1863. THIS man went
out to the field after the Northern
troops had retired from 1t, and noticed
a little fellow lying, wounded, in the
hot sun AS he looked pityingly at the
boy, the young fellow gained courage
to make a request:
"Neighbor, won't you get me a drink
of water? I'm very thirsty"
"Of course l WILL" said the man, and
he brought the water.
The little fellow was encouraged by
this, and lie asked again:
won't you get me taken to the hos
pital? I'm badly wounded
well, now, my boy" said the man,
eff 1 get you taken care of, and you are
well enough to go home again, are you
coming down here to fight me and my
folks once more? How about that:"
1t was n hard test for a wounded
prisoner, but the boy stood 1t. He look
ed his captor firmly in the eye, and
said:
''Tlat I would. my friend.'

"For Gods sake, James Fisk, for the
sake of the love you once professed to

sending my boy to the war. What is q
paltry six hundred dollars to you?
Foreclose the mortgage tomorrow,
turn us in the street, but don't influence
my child to sacrifice himself ON the
altar of love for me-"
For an instant the woman thought
that she caught a glimpse of feeling in
the cold eyes, but it passed as quickly

"Mrs. Packard" responded the me.
tallic voice with staccato-like precis.
ion, business is business. You are too

The woman gave him q swift sad
look, her lips opened as If to speak, then
she turned and left the office. That
night the Hon. James Fisk was sud-
denly called to Join the great majority
where no proxy could take his place.
He had evidently not left the Office
since his interview with Mrs. Packard.

CHAPTER V.
When Yolande reaches home she finds
the household in wild distress. Lights
flash to and fro, anxious faces greet her
on every side.
"Oh. Yolande," cries Enid tearfully,
.'how glad l am that YOU have come! We
have just sent for you. Papa is so i'll.
DIR. Dcanc has been with him for the last
hour. He has had n fit"
Mr.. Mcrvyn is indeed very i'll. For long
weeks after the %cventful ball does Yo-
lande watch, and nurse, and tend him
with Il love and devotion that few would
have credited her with posscssing-few at
least who had judged her as Dcnzil Char
teris had-from the frivolous, gay exterior
she usually showed to the outer world.
One afternoon Yolande leaves him sit
ting on the lawn in his easy chair, a pile of
newspapers beside him. and the faithful

ing for n walk-a walk through the shady
lanes and past the ripcning corn ficlds-a
walk for which she has longed for many
days, aud is at last able to accomplish.
1t is all so tranquil, md lovely, and
still. that a sense of deep restful delight
cnfolds the girl as finally. with half-closed
eyes. she leans against the trunk of n
beech tree. her hands claspcd above her
head, her whole attitude expressive of
thorough Incidence and enjoyment.
All at once she opens her eyes and looks
up. to meet the fierce, reluctant admira-
ton of another pair. that are taking in
every line of the beautiful figure in its in
dolcMt grace, every tint of the sweet. fair
face that is now flushed to crimson us she
springs to her feet and confronts the in

SHAD.
So Well Protected Tha Only a Shark
Can Crush It.

So Well Protected That Only a Shark
a Crush It.
Few persons know that there are
more than 500 species of shad, chiefly
in the waters of North and South
America, Asia and Africa, but the most
interesting of all of these is the mailed
shad (callichthys callicthys) of South
American waters. 1t is covered on
both sides with a double row of thick
plates, and the head is also hard and
bony. On account of this coat-of-mail
the fish has the strangest appearance
of all of the shad species. Only ich-
thyologists would recognize it as a
shad at all, and most people would
think 1t was some strange creature that
had survived from prehistoric times. 1t
plays havoc with the other fish, being
so well protected from their attacks
that only a shark, with it's powerful
jaws, can crush it. The mailed shad
sometimes grows to an enormous size,
and makes a brave struggle for life
when it is hooked. Only lately a Ger
man naturalist, Herr P. Matte, has
succeeded in catching one alive in a
wire net and taking it to Europe alive,
where it swims around in its own tank
in the Berlin aquarium. An attempt
is now being made to get some spawn
of this fish SO as to raise them for
various %aquariums. 1t is o a good
fish for food, being tough and dry,
unlike the juicy specimens of the spe-
cies that are found in the Norta river
or the Susquehanna.

with results most disastrous to the
cause they had so close at heart.
For one night they seemed to be
masters of the situation, but the next
morning the Spaniards, aroused for
once out OF their usual state Of arro-
CANT indifference and naughty uncon-
Germ by the potentialities of this most
unexpected and surprising obstacle in
the smooth and somewhat sluggish cur
rent of their official existence, mustered
force sufficient to quell the insurrec-
ton and restore at least a semblance
of security to their own positions. The
failure of the movement so long
planned and hoped for plunged the
Philippines into worse difficulties than
they had before even dreamed of. In
Spanish eyes after that disastrous fias-
co every native was a mutineer at
heart, and no man of Philippine birth
was so humble or SO Insignificant as
to escape the blighting breath of JUS
picion. Arrests were made by the
wholesale. Honest farmers who had no
thoughts above or beyond their daily
toll and the success or failure of their
crops were classed in the same cate

GIRLS AS HIGHWAY ROBBERS.

Four Pretty italian Women with Muir
der and Robbery in Their Record.
A few weeks ago a brigand band,
consisting of four exceedingly pretty
young women, was arrested near Bene-
vento, in an Italian province. The
blushing bandits were accused of
having committed a series of crimes,
including one murder, three attempted
assassinations, several cases of wound
ing and a very long list of robberies.
This, however, is by no means the only
case on record of women who have
embarked in brigandage, for early in
the present century a gang of female
robbers infested the roads on the out
skirts of Milan, and became a verita-
BILE terror to all travellers in the dis
trict. They were accustomed to garb
themselves as men, several of them 60
ing to the length of assuming boards
and whiskers to more effectually com
plete their disguise. For some years
their outrages went unchecked, but at
length one of the gang turned traitress
in order to capture the enormous re-
ward offered by the Italian govern
ment. The gentle marauders were
then tried and executed, the woman
who had betrayed them being stabbed
soon afterward by a relative OF one of
the "brigandesses'-for in Italy an in
former rarely lives long to enjoy the
blood money. Even England has not
been free from lady highway robbers.
In the reign of Charles ii. there was a
virago named Mol Skinders, who held
up travellers on the York o a and
despoiled them of their valuables un-
der the old threat of You none or
your life!" Spain can also boast of
having possessed female bandeleros.
Toward the end of the last century
travellers on the Madrid road were con-
stantly assaulted by a gang of hand
some-looking youths, who, with many
polite words and yelled threats, robbed
them OF whatever goods they carried.
Eventually the gang in question was
captured, and it then transpired that
the youths were in reality young
women of muscular tendencies and &C
tually aristocratic birth, but, weary Of
the dull round of patrician life, the
young ladies had run away from their
homes and taken tt the "road."-Tit-
Bits.

ties of the situation to yield to their
natural impulses. Many of the men di-
rectly concerned in the mutiny were
taken to Manila, and there suffered
the death penalty at the hands Of their
own whilom comrades in rms. Others
were less mercifully dealt with, as
torture in its most agonizing and ex-
circulating form was decreed for them
before death was allowed to end their
misery.
Five of the VOWS are substantially as
follows:
II will die slowly by the most
hideous torture, before I will divulge
anything that l know, learn or c~onjec-
ture about this very exalted and honor
able union"
Ill will execute at any cost to
myself and others, Immediately, un-
questioningly and exactly, all orders
received by me which are accompan-
led by the sacred and secret word"
I'LL will cherish active and I'M

personally assist to slaughter, at once
and without mercy or distinction, all
foreigners within reach OF my re-
venge."

my life lasts, and should l forget or
disobey them in the least part I will
expect and most rightfully suffer the
most horrible DEATH"

Ruskin's Gift.

During the proceedings of the re-
cent conference of the Library asso-
citation in England a characteristic
story Of John Ruskin was told In con-
nection with the subject Of village H.
braries. A library for the laborers' OF
a lake country village had been estab-
lished. and just before the opening Mr..
Ruskin was asked to inspect it. He
cordially consented, and upon leaving
expressed his admiration of the ar
rangements, and promised to SEN a
present, which came in the form of a
sumptuous set of SCOTS novels. The
wife of the founder thought the edi-
ton much too splendid for the purpose
and at the earliest opportunity told
the donor so. Madam" said Ruskin,
If the money the books cost had been
spent in floral decorations or wines
for a dinner, nothing would have been
said against it, but because it has been
laid out for the enjoyment of the
simple villagers it is thought e~xtrava-
CANT"

AMERICANS HAD TO LEAVE.
yaquis Spared Their Lives, But Nothing
Else.

John Rogers, a Denver ~prospector,
who went into the Yaqui gold country
of Sonora a year ago, has reached Ell
Paso, Texas, from the northeast branch
Of the Yaqui river, where he and Peter
Burgess have been working the claim
of Quailey Brothers of Chicago. He
tells a thrilling tale of his experience
with the Indians and counts himself
fortunate that he escaped with his
life. A few days ago a band of forty
Indians, all armed with Winchesters
and old-fashioned Mexican weapons,
appeared at the Quailey claim and rob-
bed the two miners of everything they
possessed, including their arms and
ammunition, and ordered them to leave
the country Immediately, if they wish
ed to preserve their lives. When the
Indians appeared Rogers and Burgess
were at work at the bottom of 4 forty
foot shaft which they had sunk. They
were told to come out, and then the
braves filled a portion of the shaft
with loose dirt and stones. The mine
is sixty miles from the nearest camp
or town, and the two Americans were
