Uncle Ellis Fables.

AS two iackais and fox were trav-
cling in company they came upon a
dead chicken lying on the ground, and
at once there was a quarrel between
the jackals as to which should have
the prize They finally settled it by
dividing the chicken between them,
leaving the fox entirely out of the af-
fair. An owl who had observed the
proceedings asked the fox:
but where do you come into this
ching, Mr.. Reynard?'
"Oh, take my share in natural phil
osophy," replied the fox. Firstly,
that chicken was killed and placed
here for an object. Secondly, the body
was poisoned, and thirdly, there go
those jackals tumbling about and max
ing their last kicks.
MORAL:
And l may say further" observed
Reynard, as he scratched his ear with
his paw, that when you are offered
something for nothing it's a good idea
to let somebody else sample it first"

Women Not cowardIv.

When cowardice is described as
leading feminine attribute somebody
makes a huge mistake. Women do
the most daring things on record
take chances which would appal
man. They may jump at the sight or
mere mention of a harmless mouse,
but they court death several times
year: It is one of the traits which
makes feminine nature so puzzling.
have known women who were timid
to a degree, under ordinary circum-
stnaces, come forth as heroines under
the pressure of occasion. A woman
who shudders at the sight of a small
cut from which blood oozes will often
exhibit a marvellous courage in a
shocking accident. 1t is beautiful to
think that dependence can be placed
upon the sex n times of need.-Cleve

south Africa potato market. In 1891
he disobeyed the neutrality proclama-
ton OF President Brand and served
with the Transvaal beers under
Joubert against the British. He fought
at Laing's Mex and was one of the
fifty daring volunteers who climbed
Majuba hill and caused the famous
defeat of the English force entrenched
on top. He still treasures the kilt of
a highlander soldier whom he shot in
this action.
The next time De Wet appears he is
a member of the Free State volksraad
He was no orator, but his intense
hatred OF the British led him to make
bitter speeches in the discussion of
any English question. 1t is said he
even objected to an Englishman teach
ing English in a certain college. Dur
ing the years he was in congress he
did his best to undermine British in
fluence, and thus gained considerable
standing among his Dutch fellow-citi-
zens. In 1896 his anti-British speeches
were largely responsible for the cleo
ton of Steyn as president, instead of
Fraser, the English candidate. The
Jameson raid into the Transvaal had
lately been choked by the quick, strong
hand of Joubert, and De Wit success
fully argued from this that the only
way to keep the Free State independ-
ent was to elect Dutch president and
from an alliance with the Transvaal.
In one speech during the campaign, he
is reported to have said: TX zal min
bloed zien stert voor TX cen Engel-
schman zien president" & will see my
blood flow before I will see an English
man Dresidentl.
During the early part OF the recent
war little was heard of De Wit, al
though he did good work around Lady
smith and Kimberly and helped cap
ture 1000 British at Nicholson's Mex
But soon after the enemy took the Free
State capital, he sent a chill along the
British spine from Bloemfontein to
London by capturing Broadwood' S
brigade, the royal Irish rifles and the
Northum berland fusiliers This was
one of his greatest exploits. He first
trapped Broadwood and five cannon.
Two days later he visited Dewetsdorp
and learned that the rifles and fusiliers
had passed through the town three
hours before. His army was twenty
miles away, the five cannon still

The fact was. the gallant captain
was wearing of domestic bliss-the
expedition proposed was rather to re
lieve his own monotony than to please
his wife. She was satisfied. She was
by his side in moment. her arms
clasped around his neck. her lovely,
child-1ike face raised to his.
81 shall like it beyond everything"
she said. 'Violet told me all about it.
How kind you are to me, Lyster
How they misjudged you; how dearly
dearly they would love you. if they
knew you!"
He accepted her devotion something
after the fashion of sultan quite ac-
customed to it.

said, laying her head upon his breast,

His light tone somewhat Jared upon
her. She forgot it in moment. Her
beautiful, earnest eyes were raised to
his.
'"The die is cast now" she said ~

world for you, Lyster. You are ali
the world to me-
He smiled very benignly, and went
on with his reading.
No remorse came to him as he saw
her so happy in her innocent love, al
though the time was coming, he knew
when she must find out how wasted it
had all been.
"Shall we go out this morning?"
she said. "You almost promised to
take me to the Tower"

I'VE must make the most of this
week, Sybil. I shall be on duty next.

Think about you," she replied,
cheerfully "You shall see, Lyster,
that I am quite fitted to be a soldier
wife. I shall always meet you with
smiles"

The night was falling round them,
dark and still; they had walked
through GIynn Woods, and the high
road lay before them. She forgot how
late it was-forgot that she was far
from home and everything else, save
that with her whole heart she loved
the man by her side
Let him answer for it when all men
shall be judged-for the persuasions,
the entreaties, the passionate caresses,
the burning words that led her astray
that made her deaf to the voice OF
her own heart-forgetful of every
thing save him!
He won her at last-he bewildered
her with his love and his prayers.
There at the turn of the road, he show
ed her a chaise waiting for them. A
drive ofsixteen miles would bring them
to Nolesworth-the busiest junction
far or near. There they could take
the train for London, and be married

if she liked, tomorrow to Glynn.

Weeping as though her girlish heart

landers. Two days later he cut the
railroad by which Roberts got supplies
for his army. Next day he tore up the
railroad for miles, and when a con-
struction train came down to repair it
he captured the train and the fourth
Derbyshlre regiment which guarded it.
Then, at Rhenoster river, he blew up
three railroad culverts and got another
construction train. From there he
marched seventy miles and fought the
enemy near Winburg. After the battle
he retreated sixty miles, and then
when the British had surrounded him
ard thought they surely had him, he
made sudden forced march between
Generals Hunter and Rumble and got
away Three days later the British

ard again escaped. Two days later
his little force had got together again,
and marching to Coningspruit it cap
tured a supply train and 100 highland
ers and cut the railroad and telegraph
lines between the British and Pretoria
Two weeks later he crossed the Vaal
river and fought General Methuen.
A few days later he was again cutting

"They Had Been Married in ST. Pan

Was it chance that led the squire to
stay out so late that EVENING" most
unusual thing for him-and gave to
Irene a book that beguiled time so
quickly for her that for the moment
she forgot the sister so seldom out of
her thoughts? Believing Sybil to be
in her own room, she did not disturb
herself until the squire's loud ring at
the outer door startled her. His
first inquiry, as usual, was for Sybil,
and the elder sister told him she had
been in her room some time.
81 am determined to start to-mor-
row." said the squire. II met Char
ley Neville about five minutes ago;
he was coming home from Moles-
worth; and he tells me he saw Cap
tain Ayrton tonight, driving in a
chaise He must be going to Ling,
for Charley says he had a lady with
him"
To the last day Of her life Irene
could never account for the impulse
that made her leave the squire and go
at once to her sisters room.
She wrapped once at the door-there
was no answer. She went init was
quite empty! By the light Of the
taper in her hand, she saw that no one
had disturbed it that night.
"Sybil!" she said, gently.
Then waited for an answer.
None came save the tapping of the
ivy-leaves blown against the window.
She looked round the pretty white
chamber-there was no trace of her
sisters presence. She opened the
dressing-room door-no Sybil greeted
her
Then a cold horror fell upon Irene
Jocelyn as she stood in the lonely
ehamber-a cold, awful terror that
made her heart beat wildly, and
clinched her hands in fear.
"Merciful powers!" she cried. cam

There was no sign Of disarray. The
toilet-table, with it's pretty jewel-case,
was untouched.
'Sybil!" she cried again, her voice
weak with dismay. And again the
tapping of ivy was the only sound.
She walked back to the drawing-room
with steady steps. The squire looked
up with a smile as she entered and
then cried out as he saw her face

laid her hand upon his arm.

He answered never a word, but took
the taper from her hand and went
straight to her room. No she was not
there. Loving voices called her, low

said the squire. And they went to-

cold dead weight on both, yet neither
dare put it into words. The moon
shone out clear and bright while
father and daughter trod the green
path where her light steps would stray
no more.
Carefully they looked that there was
no sign of her. Once when a moon

CYCLING SEASON BEGINS.
Systematic Movement to be Made To-
 ward Better Roads

| Systematic Movement to be Made To-
 ward Better Roads. | Now that spring is so near the wheel men are ready to take advantage of every day of cycling weather and roads. Much of the time many of the roads are in fairly good condition, Those who have tried the path toward Derby report that the stretch known as Moore's hole, while much improved as erwise, the sand being of considerable depth and of disagreed ble consisten- cy There is, however, a much worse spot at the foot of the short hill just this side of the graded portion. At the bottom of the pitch the sand is over six inches in depth, insuring with unfailing accuracy that each wheelman who rides down that hill sail receive is fall at the bottom unless he approaches it with the greatest caution.
 The cycle path has been damaged by teamsters. who have driven over it. This seems to be an added evidence that it is better to make the roadway first class and then it will be all right for either teams or cycling.
 A meeting of the wheelmen of the as- sociated towns was held last Friday ev- ening at the Board of Trade rooms in Ansonia, and was largely attended, sev- eral being present from Seymour A proposition was made to offer the sum of $500 to the town of Seymour if it would secure state aid in improving the west side Ansonfa road and an effort to secure that amount is meeting with success.
 A motion was made and carried for the organization of good roads clubs to comprise the five towns. Then a motion was made to the effect that a committee of three be appointed to draft bylaws and a plan of organiza- tion. It was also carried. The com mittee appointed by the chair consists of William Bowen of Ansonia, w. B. Swan of Seymour, and T. B. Minor of Derby. It will report at the next meet ing. The committee to nominate off, cers and report later consists of J. M Emerson, T. B. Minor and Frank E. Chamberlin of Seymour
 It would seem that such an organiza- tion might be very efficient, and as the dues do not exceed one dollar per year 1t is confidently expected that several hundred members will be secured.-Sey- mour Record
