CHAPTER XVIII.

Chester Sewall started with alright
at sight of the white haggard counte-
nance that looked out at him from
the mirror when he turned up the gas
in his room. Even the lips were
bloodless and the eyes dilated, as if
by horror. Confronting that CHASTITY
reflection. he raised his hand to throw
back the hair that, matted with per-
spiration, chung TO his brow. There
was blood upon the palm.
He staggered backward and sat
down, faint, shuddering, covering.
The feeling still haunted him that
there was an invisible presence just
behind his shoulder, and, hurriedly
shifting his chair SO that he could sit
with his back ~squarely against the
wall, he cast a fearsome glance about
him.. He was alone. The door locked,
the window shade drawn down, the
gas burning brightly-what folly to
be unnamed by a silly superstition!
Bah! He would think Of it no more.
That which was done was done and
could not be undone. lie had not in
tended it, and, since fate had so or
dered it, let fate assume the response

now would be TO destroy the evidences
of his involuntary crime. He dragged
from his pocket the handkerchief with
which he had wiped what blood he
could from his fingers and thrust it
among the glowing Goals in Johns
stove. The overcoat pocket in which
he had concealed that ensanguined
hand was stained with blood. He cut
it out and burned it also. Then he
very carefully washed his hands and
poured the redeemed water slowly
among the ashes in the bottom of the
stove.
Not until now did he observe on his
table a letter that had arrived during
his absence. 1t was from John La
than, written at st. Louis and dated
three days before. In il the writer
said:

Indians Who Work.

Muscatine Journal: Hoary tradi-
ton has it that the noble red man,
as poets like to call the American In
dian, has a unconquerable aversion
TO work equal If not superior to that
instances where the white man has
come in contact with his red brother
experience has strengthened the ira
dition. But the working Indian has at
last been discovered. 1t is stated that
the Burlington road in extending it's
lines across the Crow reservation in
Wyoming has been obliged to con-
tract with the Indians for the latter
to do all the grading, hauling and 9TH
er unskilled labor. Not only are the
Indians willing to work, but they de-
mand the pick and the shovel with
the same insistency their savage an
cestors displayed in bargaining for
glass beads and iron hatchets. They
made 1t a condition of the grant Of
right of way across their reservation
that they should have the labor, and
they pointed to irrigating works
which they had constructed for them
selves as tangible proof of their abil-
ity TO do the grading for the railroad.
Although provided with homes and
rations on the reservation they are
anxious to work. 1t may be said that
II Is the exception which proves the
rule, but at any rate the working
Indian is a pleasant proof that at
tempts to c~ivilize HIM have not been
entirely barren of results.

CHAPTER XVII.

There was trouble that evening in
the Hall household also. Early in the
afternoon, while Addie was out, a tel.
egram arrived for her, and Mrs. Hall
opening it, had the good news to com
municate to her daughter, upon heI
return, that John was coming home
The business that took him away had
been happily concluded, and he would
reach New York on the morrow, the
dispatch having been sent while he
was en- route.
The girls position, in view of that
intelligence, suddenly became decid.
eddy embarrassing. While she felt
that she never, no, never, could for
give john" she could not bring her
self to reveal to her mother the for
tuitous discovery of his shameful inn
morality and utter untrustworthiness
which she had made. She would give
him up; would Danish him forever,
and never hear another word from his
false lips. That, of course, was set
tied, but her pride forbade her o
Tossing that the man she had loved so
well and of whom she had been SC
proud, was unworthy Of her love. But,
by a strange ~perversity of humor
seemingly, the old lady appeared to
be more favorably disposed toward
John than she had ever been before.
Il am real glad he is coming back"
she said, for | find that L have sort
of got in the habit of trusting that
young man and liking to see him
around. OF course he will receive
your note the minute he gets home,

Two Titled English Girls Pony Farm

London Leader: 1t Is Kent, the
garden of England, that boasts a
novel farm run by women Here the
wild, shaggy little pony that, with
long, tangled name and flowing tail,
scampers about in the boisterous
winds over the rocky wilds of Shetland
finds a second home, where his coat
is carefully brushed down and his
hayward locks combed and crimped
according to the civilized neatness
that rules the modern world. Not
that the pony minds il, in fact he
seems to enjoy colonizing in this cor
ner of England, and most dutifully
appreciates his new quarters, with it's
plentiful pasture, good stables and
kind mistresses, to whom he is ever a
pet.
Starting with one single Shetland
pony the Ladies Eestella and Doro-
thea Hope, the wner of this unique
farm. took up the breeding of these
ponies as a hobby, and hen went on
business, and at the same time a big
success. Country life appealed much
more to their taste than did the rush
of town, and besides this these two
sisters of the present Lord Chamber
lain had already had considerable ex-
perience with animals, and no pursuit
could have been found more to their
liking than this of pony farming-the
fancy for pretty little Shetland ponies
making the farming still more inter
esting. And SO the Edenbridge under.
taking grows and prospers.

GOLD IN A COFFEE POT.
Missouri Farmer Found IL IN Cree

Missouri Farmer Found IL In Creek
on Ills Place.
st. Louis Post-Dispatch: Abner
Wilson, a farmer who resides near
Jatan, was SEEMING for minnows in a
little creek which runs through his
place, when his net caught some OBJ
struction in the bottom of the creek,
He reached down and removed the OBJ.
~stacle, when his hand came in contact
with an old coffee pot. He threw II
up On the bank, when 1t burst oper
and a pile of gold scattered itself over
the ground. Wilson's eyes bulged out
and for a few moments he imagined
he had been dreaming, but when h,
went out on the bank there was the
bright metal, cold and shining. Th'
gold was all in S., $40 and $50 pieces
and all bore the date of 1857 OF priol
to that time.
a count showed that there was $67'
in the pot. So far there is no clew a
to who is the rightful owner. 1t i
supposed that the gold was sunk II
the creek prior to the war, and date
on the coins lend color to the theory
Mr.. Wilson says he is willing TO Civ
up the property to anyone who ca
show a title to it.

Rev. Mr.. sheIdon's Complaint.

For the last three years q large
number of prominent daily newspa-
pers have printed falsehoods about
my books, my daily habits, my fam.
lily life, my church and my parish in
general, says Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon
in the Outlook. / have never, except
once, TO a reporter from my own home
paper, been interviewed for publica.
ton in a daily newspaper, and yet
scores of supposed interviews have
been published in daily papers. One
large New York daily a few weeks ago
published two letters purporting to
come from me, and signed my name
to them. | never wrote such letters,
and ever made the statements at
tributcd to me. Yet these letters
were reprinted in papers all over the
country and in religious weeklies, and,
with two exceptions, none of the edi-
tors asked me whether the statements
were really mine or not. A prominent
religious paper sent a correspondent
to Topeka to write up" everything
connected with the Topeka Capital
the week / was asked to take the edi-
torship of it. He sent to his paper
several pages of matter, including
several columns of Interviews and
accounts of my personal habits and
family life, nearly all Of which might
without any reservation be character.
lied as falsehoods of the most serious
character. When the statements made
about my church or my daily life or
the conduct of the paper were not ac-
tually lies, they were so grossly ex.
a%ggerated as to be absolutely mis-
leading.

CHICAGO ANARCHIST RIOT
Police and Reds Have a Collision
Mrs, Lucy Parsons and
Others Arrested.

Chicago, Aug. Am ANARCHIST riot
occurred yesterday afternoon at the
corner of Twelfth and Halstead
streets, In which twenty-five people
were bruised In a struggle with forty
five police summoned to quell the dis
turbance. Five persons were arrest
ed, among them being Mrs. Lucy Par.
sons, widow of Albert X. Parsons,
who was executed November IL, 1887,
in Chicago, for aiding and abetting
the bomb throwing in the Haymarket
riot. She was charged with d~isorderly
conduct, o%bstructing the street and
resisting an officer. Her bail was fixed
at $1,100.
The others arrested were:
Paul Nadree, charged with distrib-
uting incendiary literature. Bail was
fixed at 1900.
Clement Pfeutzner, charged with
assault, disorderly conduct and OBJ.
structing the streets.
Herman Goodman, charged with dis.
tributing incendiary literature. Bail
fixed at $4,000.
Abraham E~delstadt, charged with
disorderly conduct, ~obstructing the
streets and resisting an officer. Re
leased on 81, 100 bail.
A mass meeting had been called at
West Side Turner hall, at which
speeches were to be made by Mrs
Parsons and others on the topic, THE
Execution of the King of Italy"
The call concluded: "Workmen,
come in crowds and show that the
feeling of brotherhood is strong
among YOU"
Mrs. Parsons was on her way to the
hall when, feeling i'll from the intense
heat, she stepped into n shaded door
way to rest. Soon n crowd formed,
and a police officer, pushing through
the throng, caught n glimpse Of Mrs,
Parsons. Thinking she was making
an anarchistic speech, he endeavoreG
to dispense the crowd. His efforts
were in vain, and the officer sent iE
G. call for reinforcements. Additional
officers arrived, and Immediately q
general fight was precipitated. Fists
end clubs were used and the officers
finding themselves being worsted
sent in n riot call. The number OF
police was increased to forty-five, and
they rushed into the throng. Mrs
Parsons was seized. 1t is claimed she
resisted arrest and her associates
fought for her. Bricks were thrown
clubs were welded and a fierce ,strug,
gle ensued before the crowd was final
ly dispersed.
Clement Pfuetzner, II of those ar
rested, vas badly cut in the hand. A
number of children in the crowd were
knocked down in the melee and theI
trampled upon, but none were injured
seriously. In all twenty-five persons
were badly beaten and bruised.
After the affray numerous small
cards were found on the street and il
the vicinity containing two verses o
poetry, urging the workingmen to b.
free, to throw off the yoke of bond
age and fight for liberty and to la,
down their lives, if necessary, to over
throw the government and attain free
dom.
A large quantity of literature advo
eating anarchy and a book containing
the names and addresses of severa
hundred anarchist sympathizers werI
secured by the police.

T. SMITH. FARMER AND HERO
Wonderful Feat OF This Modern Will
liam Tell.

indianapolis Press: Probably no
Schiller will arise to immortalize Il.
Smith, but he has done a deed of
which William Tell himself might
nave been proud. The nero of this
modern tale of a fathers nerve and
daring Is a plain American farmer,
living near Sheboygan, Wis. And his
name is Smith-plain L. Smith, The
dispatches do not even state what the
initial letter stands for, but the nat
ural presumption is that il is Thomas,
for most of the Smiths hat are not
Johns are Thomases.
Smith was working in a field near
his home, when he saw a tremendous
eagle swoop down where his children
were grouped at play, snatch up his
little daughter of 3 years in it's talons
and start off upward. Fortunately,
his rife was near at hand. There was
no time for debate or fear-and yet,
only those that have seen a darling
child in imminent danger of death
can understand what the swoop of
the eagle meant to matter-of-fact II.
Smith. William Tell had time for
thought, breathing space to measure
risks and screw his courage to the
sticking point. L. Smith had none.
Each second meant more to him than
any month in all his life that had
gone before.
His decision was instantaneous, his
action was as quick as thought, his
nerves were nerves of steel, his eye
as unerring as that of the fell bird he
must defeat. None knew better than
he the risk he ran of killing his child;
none knew better than he the slight
chance of killing a swift-fying bird
with n single bullet. Did he forget
how to measure distance, how to
measure the velocity of bird and ball,
and allow for both? Did his mind
grow confused or his eye misty? Not
n bit of il. On this one supreme oc-
c~asion, eye and mind, nerve and heart
all were true to his great purpose,
and the leaden hall sped on its mis-
sion of rescue. Bird and child tum-
bled to the ground together, and,
while the little one was unhurt, the
eagle, measuring more than six feet
In sweep of wings, was dead. Il.
Smith probably cares little what the
world may think of his deed, or
whether It ever knows of 1t. His child
Is safe and he is content.

Virtues of the Despiscd cabbag,

Virtues Of the Despiscd Cabbage
Kansas City Journal: Even the de-
spised cabbage has it's virtues. When
young and tender il is full of phos-
pilates needed for enriching the
blood. The proper way to cook it in
order to preserve these properties is
to boil it only fifteen minutes, then
drain and transfer to another vessel,
previously heated, add butter, cover
closely and allow it to finish cooking
by it's w steam on the back of the
stove or over a double boiler. When
served, the addition of cream makes
a dainty and delicate dish.
Cabbage so cooked is said to feed
the blood and overcome the impuri-
ties that disfigure the complexion. In.
deed, by judicious diet, almost every
one can acquire n pure and smooth
skin.
