1t set forth Hooper's necessity to
obtain funds further than those avail
able, and how he had taken from time
to time, showing Rand fictitious notes,
so that Rand had every reason to sup
pose the bank was making loans.
In short, he had made the entries
in perfect good faith, and then when
the stealing was made known he had
kept silence, remembering all the BEN
efits received. 1t was, of course, a
questionable thing for him to do, but
there was no doubling the nobility of
the mans character.
That night the judge started for
home. There the next day he laid the
confession before the governor and
his council, who took the preliminary
steps to release Rand.
That evening Ned Grant called, say
ing he had failed to find the Judge at
home, on previous evenings. He knew
enough of law TO appreciate some
things the judge told him.
"Now," said the judge, "this tangle
can be Strengthened out. You bring
Alice here two weeks from tonight,
and I'll try to change her views"
At last the night came. The judge
was decidedly nervous. The bell rang,
and in came Ned and Alice. He had
told her about the judge, and she
blushed prettily when he was intro
duccd.
After he had explained at some
length that his cavesdropping was
quite accidental he began to argue

with the judge for the last few days
and knew the whole story.
Ned stood near carefully watching
her, and as the door opened noiseless-
ly he saw John Rand waiting for
his daughter to look up and see him.

MODERN MEANING OF GUN.
The Word Is More often Applied to
the Great Engines
of Death.

1.-THE evolution of the word gun
forms an interesting study in up-to-
date etymology," remarked one of a
party of newspaper men, says the New
Orleans TimesDemocrat. "A dozen or
so years ago we all understood gun to
mean fowling piece-a shotgun as dis
tinguished from a rife or musket.
Heavy and light ordnance, in fact all
pieces Of artillery, without regard to
size, were known as cannon. That, Of
course, was where people made an eff
fort to speak English. Out in the
frontier the word gun was applied ex-
clusively to pistols.
Nowadays the nomenclature has
culiously changed. BY degrees the
good old word gun has become monop-
olized by the long, slim, murderous ma

A MISSIONARY HEN.
China, and She Laid Eggs for
the Hcathen.

Some ten years ago Capt. j. Clifford
Entwisle, now city clerk of Salem,
then master of a New York vessel sail
ing to China and Japan, brought home
from China little hen. lie named the
bird Koo-Koo, For the town whence
she came. He presented the hen to his
wife, and the bird gradually became a
pet of the house. She would lay her
eggs in the house.
Capt. and Mrs. Entwisle were in
terested in church and missionary
work. SO Mrs. Entwisle conceived the
idea of devoting the proceeds of the
eggs and chickens Of Koo-Koo to the
missionary cause, and for the seven
years little Koo-Koo lived all her
earnings went to convert Chinese
heathcns, and a good many dollars went
that way. The hen became as much of
"A pet as n eat or dog. She would lay
her egg and then go into the kitchen
and cluck until someone went and
found the egg; then she would fly up
on the window sill and peck at the win
dow as sign that she wished to go
outdoors.
Finally little Koo-Koo died, and was
stuffed and used as an ornament. Mrs.
Entwisle wrote very pretty little
story, founded on the history of Koo-
Koo, and sent it to be read to the chill
dren in the PARKWAY land whence came
the hen. There it took so well that it
was translated into Chinese and read
to the little Chinese children in their
own language. 1t was the story Of a
little hen called Koo-Koo, which under
took TO support one little Chinese girl
that she might be educated. 1t con-
tanned an account of a meeting Of the
children Of Koo-koo, quite numerous
tribe Of various ages.
After hearing that story read, Chi
nese boy painted picture of the meet
ing of Koo-Koo and her descendants
TO represent scene described by Mrs.
Entwisle. 1t represents the old hen
and three younger ones, with eight or
ten very small chicks. The picture is
made on sheet Of brown paper, and
the hens are almost life-siZe for Chi
nese hens. 1t was sent to the mission
airy headquarters in Boston first, and
yesterday was sent down to Mrs. Ent-
wisle by whom it is highly priced
