but when Trueman ran toward her she
sat up. glanced at him, and screamed
again.
Are you hurt?'' asked he, and she,

Trueman stepped over to the wagon
and saw that the whiffle-tree had
broken and had released one of the
traces.

he.

That little wave of hair that had
loOsed itself from it's fellow locks was
so ravishing, What an inspiriting
thought that he could be of real service
to such a beautiful girl. If he could
be sure that she was fond of flowers.
He took the rope and with the help
of his now truly valuable feather dus-
ter. he fashioned a new end TO the
whif1e-tree and slipped the traces end
over the handle. While he worked al
il and she watched him with an admir-
ing interest, for he was singularly def
with his hands. he suddenly said:

the other night if you were fond OF
flowers"

he out SO late on so cool a night with
such inadequate clothing?
There, that'H last until you get

climbed into the wagon. He stubbed
his bare toe on the step and the pair
was eXcruciating for a moment, but his

in the lane that led to the graveyard.
BY some lucky chance the cemetery
gate was open, and, with final hurl-
ing of the inocuOus feather buster and
a VOllev of small stones almost as
harmless, he drove the bovine marpIots
into the graveyard, closed the gate Sc
curely and retraced his steps to the
highway.

in the garments of the night season
still South HanafOrd society would not
have received him in such habiliments.
But fortune favored him, inasmuch
as il was 10 O'Clock and all HanafOrd
was asleep. All Hanaford? No. there
was one who was not yet asleep. One
who was driving toward him in COW
cred buggy. Who could there be pro-
flaming the little end of the Sabbath in
this fashion? 1t looked like the Hard
ing team. Well, he wasn't afraid Of
old Nelson Harding. And besides there
was no place TO hide. He was on a
perfectly open, treeless, level stretch Of
road.
As he walked boldly along, using the
feather buster as a cane. something
about the harness broke and the horse
walking half way out of the shafts
stopped as quarter century's harden

she was distinctly pleasant and lively

or Mrs Henry Sedgwick'S parlOr on the
afternoon that the sewing society was
TO meet there, and before they could
be removed the amount of damage that
they had inflicted could not have been
rivaled by their old ancestor, the bull
who invaded a china shop; and that
was not tenth of the unusual exploits
to their creditor discredit.
No fence out of barbed wire could
resist their seductive horns, and as
George Goodwin did not believe i'll wire
fences, the two oxen used their spare
time in finding out new ways to escape
from the five-acre lot in which they
were confined and where the pasturage
was sweet and the water abundant. A
love for mischief is not generally set
down among an oX'S characteristics
but the Goodwin oxen were as mis-
chievOuS as monkeys. Indeed Sam
Moneypenny had averred that he had
heard them chuckling with delight
when they ate up the last stalk of his
prize evergreen corn.
Goodwin had been begged and order
ed to tie the beasts uD when his man
was through using them, but Goodwin,
although he owned the farm on which
the cattle were pastured, himself lived
over in Canton. and as out of sight Is
out of mind with most people, he did

HO VOW Is ACCUSED.
Chinese Consul in San Francisco
Bitterly Attacked.

San Francisco, July 2S.-This afternoon
the Oriental and Occidental Press, the
only Chinese paper published in English
will contain bitter attack upon Ho Vow,
the local consul general accusing him of
having wheedle, $4,000 out of the Six
companies and also of having prosecuted
and caused the Imprisonment in China of
the relatives of a local Chinaman because
the latter, who is editor of the Chinese
World, the organ in this city of the New
Reform party, had published articles
which the consul general considered to be
seditious.
1t is alleged in connection with the first
charge that IIo Vow induced the mer-
chants of the Six Companies to contribute
the sum of 5000 for the purpose of re
imbursing the Chinese minister at Wash
ingtOn for the expense and trObule en-
tailed in negotiating with the treasury
department with reference to the deporta-
ton of merchants and others not included
in the exclusion act when, as d matter of
fact, that official had nothing whatever
TO do with the matter. it being passed
upon by the courts.

His Estimate of His Men.
The colonel described the way his men
go into tight in the following way.
Ihey like nothing better than a chance
10 charge a rebel trench, and they prefer
open ground While the men do not draw
unnecessary ire, have never seen sin
gle member of the Ninth hesitate You
saw this morning what utter Indifference
tney displayed 10 the IRE in front. Il
would not be well for them 10 remember
and repeat such tactics if they ever get
into real battle
Colonel LiScum paused rzfecrivaIy-
while We who listened were lost in admir-
alton The old colonel was so soldierIy
so handsome, SO filled with enthusiasm
when he talked about his men. one could
felt when their leader was being carried
down stream. We did not wonder that
they had forgotten themselves and the
tlre in front until he was once more upon
his feet Suddenly Colonel LiScum stated.
There Is something irresistible IN the.
way American soldiers do business. They
take matters in their own hands, charge
and cheer. Take all there is 10 IT, And
they Ike It immensely. They are always
good natured for d couple Of days after
a fight.
And just now the eyes Of the world are
straining TO learn how these same feI-
lows, VINO took the trenches at Bambam
under Liscum last November, acted in
the terrible crush of numbers at Tieu
Tsin- And when the story Of that night
comes home ii will be found that the
men of the Ninth acted like Americans
and soldiers, all, and old Colonel IIscum
was with his beloved boys, where he has
always been.

ness Of the fallen infantry leaders vast

One-sided. Come with me and l viii show

ing a wounded Filipino prisoner was
placed The insurrectO was hardly more

The prisoner watched every movement OF

There was the unutteraDle horror OF
