 Then it was that one man led away another, who tottered as he walked, and who groaned at every step.
 Gottieb's bullet had inflicted a wound in the tory's shoulder, and blood had been shed in defense of tho Yankee powder.
 Long before daylight half a dozen neighbors whom the boy could trust were concealed in the house; but ths enemy did not come back.
 When morning came more patriots gathered to the rescue, and before long Jonas Whitton's house had the . appearance of little fort.
 Later in the day party of tories made their appearance, but the fear less men who met and defied them caused them to beat a hasty and in. glorious retreat.
 Gottlieb saved the patriot powder by his heroism, and when it entered Fort Stanwix under guard the brave little garrison threw their hats in the air and gave three hearty cheers foi the boy hero of the Mohawk valley.
 It was by acts like these, many oi which have never been recorded, that the colonies achieved their merited in. dependence.

 Hello, there, boy!" cried 8 rough voice. "You know now that we want to come in. Why don't you open the door?"

 The men laughed together.

 ''She is a careful dame. Martha is!'' was the derisive retort. ''She does we'll to go away from home with a lot of Yankee powder in the cellar. The trail leads to this very house, and there can be no mistake. Don't you intend to let us in, boy?"
 "No."
 A moments silence followed Gott- 1ieb's firm reply; then a heavy hand struck the door a powerful blow. The boy knew the strength of the heavy hinges and thick blanks; yet the men could in a little while batter down the door and overpower him.
 T know you are tories, who don't like Jonas Whitton,' said Gottlieb. "l have been told not to let any strange people into the house till my folks come back"
 'But you will let us in, Gottieb,' , laughed the tory who did the talking for the big, brawny fellow in rough homespun. "If you won't open the door and don't want it to fall on you stand aside. We are going to have the rebel powder"
 You charge the door at your peril, answered the boy, raising the rifle tc his shoulder.
 "Ha! What have you got in you1 hands. boy:''

ssThe last familiar phase that always leads to some sort of an attack with my husband is when he, as mild man as over paid bills or dismissed tipsy cooks, began to-excuse me, Miss Elm ly-but to curse things. Then I knew John was ill, and the crisis came when he got into perfectly towering rage with the end of palm leaf that ticlled his nose while he sat reading his Sunday paper. I apologized for racling headache developed I lightly suggested the hot weather, a touch of possible malaria and invited the doe tor in to tea.
 "Well, the long and short of it was John spent four days in bed, and I bundled of the children and covered myself with glory trying to keep my lord in spirits, and at the same time in his room. We never once let on it was measles; that would have hurt his dignity, SO the doctor and I talked on basis of incipient typhoid, brought on by Cuba and overwork, and alarmed him into obedience, while I kept up his courage by wondering at his superb constitution. Poor Jack, he was scared into fits at the sight of his temperature, for, manlke, once persuaded he is ill, be glooms over the future, and could easily have given him serious set. back by watching him with pained anxious eyes, by tiptoeing around the room. tickling his poor pulse, pleading with him to eat, flushing all nomral, fa- miliar sounds, and begging him every ten minutes to tell me how he felt.
 Treatment of that sort drives a man either in a rage, out of his bed, or puts him into alternate nervous chil1s and fevers of sheer fright. The proper nursing for one's husband is to make his sick room look cheerful and agreeable, walk around as if there was nothing to be afraid of and speak in a pleasant, buoyant tone of voice. Gloat over his splendid resistive pow CTS when he gets down in the mouth, for no man likes his constitution to be impugned any more than his honesty or his courage, and by proving to him that, though it suffers terrible strains, it comes out always ahead, you can tiatter and stimulate him to his great benefit. When the time comes sor the nasty dose allow him to dedicate it with all the naughty words in his vocabulary. It helps him, he thinks, and then, when it goes down with whoop and a gurgle and more language and facial contortions, as- sure him you don't see how he does it, that being a woman you would faint over the ordeal, and then he lies back,

feeling himself strong, even in his weakness.
 ''As to feeding a sick husband, I don't think there is a bigger mistake than to poster him with requests as to what he would like, to vail at his loss of appetite and to get up un- tempting invalid dishes. Men are so- ciable creatures, and if John is taking any solid food at all I dine and lunch and tea and breakfast with him. If eat with him he doesn't feel as if he were being dieted, and, to tell you the truth. barring a few really injurious things that the doctor may put on the menu expurgatorious, always feed my sick man on the best and most various the market can afford. We've had some really jolly meals on the counterpane.
 ''The last and most precious sacri- flee wife can make to her ill or con- valescing lord is to yield her point in argument. Now, don't mean high and noble fortitude when he grows absurdly angry over some foolish trif1e, or 8 pained Christian silence when he contradicts or stiffens him. self to refuse his medicine. That att titude irritates, but mean when he takes some strange but harmless mo- tion in his head, contrive if possible to let him have his way, and when any, thing must be talked over yield to him the rich and rare delight of accepting his view. Yield slowly, for he will want to thoroughly enjoy the sweets of victory, but yield nevertheless, and in after days you can resume your old, original, obstinate position, and he won't contest it with you.'' "It's pity" remarked Miss Emily Lonely, as tho lunch gong roared through the hall, that you couldn't give some of that really sensible ad- vice of yours to our little friend out there moping SO tearfully under the lawn tent"
 ''Oh, she will find it out by and by," assured Mrs. J. NJ. Bliss, rising with hungry alacrity. There is no school for sharpening woman's wits like join. ing the big class in matrimony.''- Globe-Democrat
