1 In his boyhood days Jared Burton
\ had received burn on the foot, leav-
ing a bad scar This man exhibited
1 the scar. Jared Burton had been bitten
on the calf Of the leg by dog. Here
was the scar of the bite. He had once
been uear death by drowning. This
man told of the incident. He had been
in Chicago with his uncle for week:
he had fallen off the roof of barn; he
had been on.a jury in a lawsuit; he had
been robbed by a man on the highway.
All these things were told over without
4 q mistake, together with hundreds of
other incidents. 1t was public inves-
tigation, with everybody free to ask
questions, and it lasted four days.
i There were still some who carped after
j 1t was closed, but there was a complete
change of popular opinion, and Jared
Burton was complimented on all sides.
The mother and sister fully accepted
him, and he settled down into his place
unquestioned Three months had gone
| by, and the talk and wonder had all
died out when blind man came along
one day. He was known in various vii
lagos as sold Hanson" He sang
songs, told fortunes and performed
tricks and was well liked. Standing on
the public square with crowd around
him, he sang songs and then asked if
Jared Burton was among the spacta-
tors. Jared stepped forward, and the
old man took him by the hand. 1t was
his boast that, having once heard a
mans voice and shaken hands with
him, he could forever after identify
him by the feel of his palm.
"This is not Jared Burtonp' he ex-
claimed as he let the hand fall.
t'But it is" chorused dozen voices.
"But say it is not. 1t is not his
hand. Inever met this hand before. !"
.sYou will believe it is Jared Burton
when tell you so, won't your asked
Jared.
mo. You cannot deceive me on the
palm. You are stranger to me-"
There had been an investigation and
an acquittal, but yet the blind mans
words set people to thinking. especially
as Jared himself seemed to be greatly
| put out The whole question would
have been reopened again but that he
started off for Chicago next day on
what he claimed was matter of busi-
ness. He had close shave of it. He
hadn't been gone two hours when a
sheriff from a distant county came to
arrest him as one of gang Of land
stealers and counterfeiters. He was
followed but not overhauled. His real
name was Charles Wright. AS to what
became of the true Jared Burton no one
can say, but he doubtless met his death
/ in some way through falling into the
hands of the gang. He had papers
with him, but how they got him to talk
and give the incidents of his life can
not be understood 1t was curious
thing that another man should SO close
ly resemble him and should bear the
same scars, but it was fact not to be
got over The blind man and the sher-
iff declared the man to be cheeky i'm.

of proofs, but the question has not been

- 41'ls'.l... Fiji 3f t3t.'s
On the 18th day of September, 1867,
Jared Burton, single man of 30, liv-
ing in village in Iowa, started by rail
road for town 80 miles distant, and
he has not returned to his home and
relatives since. He was man in more
than comfortable circumstances. and
his mother and sister lived with him.
Boy and man, he had lived in the viii
lage for 20 years when he set out that
day on business matter. When sew
eral days had passed without his re-
turn or word from him, inquiries were
made. He had arrived at the town all
right. transacted his business and then
taken train on another road. It was
thought he had gone away in the COM
pany of stranger, but no one could be
sure of this. After ten days and still
no word he was advertised for and de-
tectives were employed to hunt him up.
The search was not given up for three
months. and then it was believed that
he was dead.
A year had gone by and the mystery
was still unsolved when one day Jared
Burton returned that is. he said he
was Jared Burton, and the question
of whether he was or not brings out
this story. On leaving the train he
met Squire Danforth and shook hands

I And they didn't, and between Miss
Irving and Hal things went along so
smoothly and the children learned so
rapidly, that Succonotchie speaks Of
it to this day.
Under such circumstances teaching
would to the average instructor have
been past time, but it was telling on
Miss Irving. Her little hands had be-
come pale and filmy.
One Saturday Hal brought a pony
over for Miss Irving to ride, saying
she needed the exercise. She replied:
why. Hal, l can't ride"
But you can learn" he answered.
That's what you tell me when I get
tangled up in my algebra
He led the pony at first, but finally
throwing the reins over it's neck, he
mounted his own horse, and rode slow
ly by her side. He swung himself
into the saddle with such grace, and
looked SO manly, that he attracted her
admiration. Heretofore she had
thought Of him as kind. Now it oc-
CURED to her she had never seen a
handsomer young man.
One Saturday when the March sun
shine was flinging through every in
terstice in the pine boughs little fluffy
golden plumes of light, and the air
was breathing balm, he took her fish
ing down on the Pinoshook.
The girl was too busy with the flow
ers to do much fishing, and Hal-he
was too busy watching her to do much
more. And they could not keep from
laughing and talking and being noisy
and happy. They were both aston
ished that the noon came so soon and
their string of fish was SO small, and
they were little confused, too. when
Halls mother commented on their nom
success.
A few days before the school was
to close, Miss Irving received a letter
from her mother telling her some rail-
road stock which her father had owned
had unexpectedly risen in value, and
she would not be compelled to teach
any more. A sudden JOY flooded her
heart at this prospect. Then she be-
gan to think how pleasantly the time
had passed in Succonotchie: how kind
all the people had been. and was there
ever such young man as Hal? She
had never seen stronger and finer
young man. Was it possible all these
people were going to drift out of her
life? Would she never see Hal any
more?
For some reason. she did not tell
the people she was not coming back

once more in his old haunts in AL

was then in Algeria, quarreled with
one Of his countrymen named Linares

police were quickly ON his track. but
he easily evaded them, and nothing
was heard of him until August 81
when he appeared at Marengo. Again
the police came on him and again he
escaped, after severely wounding two
OF his opponents. Soon afterward he
was seen at Cherchell and at Oran,

authorities, as he is an outlaw on

though they tried hard to capture him
their efforts were fruitless.

was on guard near his cell. Then he
burned the dead mans face so that no

''The sacking of the imperial palac-

! in a Bavarian paper, was thorough
and complete. The walls, even when
the Germans arrived, were nearly bare
| There was hardly enough furniture
left to fit cut the dwelling of the staff
Only very heavy things, such as big
looking glasses and screens were
there. Beds and bedding had to be
procured from elsewhere-not without
difficulty. Cupboards, boxes, drawers
were pulled open, broken and ransack-
ed. Barbarian work. Bronze statues
were thrown down to find the gold in
the interior. Sometimes it was found
sometimes not. Very often, in order to
simplify the work, the statues were
smashed. Objects too heavy to be car
ried away were broken and only the
valuable parts were carried off. The
Chinese are very fond of clocks and
watches ingeniously constructed so as
to make music. Some are heavily gild-
ed. In the imperial summer palace
were two big clocks (under glass; in
the apartments Of the empress. The
figures were on big sun, whose rays
were made of the best and heaviest
gold. Sun and clocks are still there,
but the golden rays were taken away.
Near the lotos lake of the imperial
palace in Pekin stands a small house
with sort of belfry, with clocks of
various dimensions. They were struck
by hammer and produced most
harmonious concert The big clocks
are still there, but the smaller ones are
all taken off. On the other shore of
the lotos lake was the private mansion
of the emperor, since the empress dow
ager kept him prisoned. The emper-
ors apartments consisted of three
rooms-reception room, bedroom and
llbrary-full of costly books bound in
the precious yellow silk, the privilege
of the imperial family. The emperor's
bed was here not bench, as usual in
China, but a real sleeping sofa, a
couch covered with dark brown, heavy
silk, which was torn off to the edge
of the couch. Everything pillaged!
Chairs, tables, benches were made of a
very hard, valuable dark brown wood,
adorned by wonderful carvings. They

American soldier as fighting man:
Il think if there had been no fight
ing all the foreign observers would
have gone back to their homes with a
very poor opinion of the efficiency of
the American troops. Luckily for
General Chaffee and his soldiers there
was fighting. When you see an Ameri-

The greatest city on the South
American continent is Buenos Ayres.
The population is believed to exceed
100000. 1t was officially estimated to
be over $4,000 at the close of 1899 and
the increase is calculated to be close
to 10000 year. Therefore, New York,
Chicago and Philadelphia are the only
cities in the United States which sur
pass the Argentine metropolis in the
number of inhabitants. There are
only about ten cities inhabited by
white men in all the world which are
bigger.
Size is not the only notable form of
development. The revenue of the city
is about $8,000,O00 year in gold. It's
