door was ajar, and as he peered into
the dusky place he saw, first, familiar
things that had been associated with
him for so years, picture, an oakea
settee and the two old tankards, which
the girl beside him HAD kept brightly
polished to while away her time. Aft
erward, in the lane of light, he saw
bowl and plate with some crumbs
of bread upon it. The shadow across
the hearth was the fugitive treasurer.
His clothes were torn and his shoes
were broken. His narrow face, with
the growth of a weeks beard, was
hidden on his arm, and his clerkly
hands lay out on the floor where he
had stretched them in the expectation
of sleep. He slept securely; their
voices did not disturb him.
"Do you know who he is?"
Nancy Garry rowed over last night
an told me about man that had been
stealin' money; he'd been tracked
down this way an the sheriff was fol-
lerin' him"

knew him. 1 told him he could lay
down on the floor of the room, an
fetched him bread an milk-good milk
an said you wouldn't be home till
next day. He didn't know this was
your house, an he asked me if / was
your daughter" She pointed to the
key in the lock. "The shutters was
fastened on the outside. From what
Nancy Garry said, 1 reckon the
sheriff. be down the road about sun
up or little after. I'll signal him
from our side and-tnere's the mort
gage. He'll give $500 for him."
Her eyes danced; the bosom of her
dress rose and fell with her quick
breathing. Maverick looked through
the door at the treasurer.
Its Haines, amt 2" whispered the
girl. She shook his sleeve impatiently.
Il thought you'd be glad"
He kept hold of her hand and drew
her out on the porch. He had treated
her like a child, and she had fattered
him with an indulgent domination that
is shown to the very young and the
very old.
"Ain't you glad?" she persisted. eff
Nancy Garry'd caught him you'd be
glad"
Maybe; but not to trap him in our
own house, if he's a hundred times

CONVERTED THE OLD BELL.
Priests Explanation to Presby.
terinn of How 1t Became
Truly COnsecrated.

For many years Father Boyle was
one of the most prominent and popular
Catholic clergymen in Washington,
where he had a great reputation as
wit. Many of his most intimate friends
were Protestants and members of the
Protestant clergy. A few months be-
fore his death he erected missionary
chapel down by the navy yard and
bought at a junk shop an old bell which
had been discarded by one of the Pres
byterian churches. He sent the bell to
foundry in Georgetown and had sew
eral inches of metal pared off the rim.
Having thus got rid of a crack the
harsh and discordant tones of the bell
became short and sweet. Meeting a
Presbyterian parson not long after,
Father Boyle called his attention to
the change and the latter could scarce
ly believe it was the same bell. What
in the world did you do with that bell 2"
inquired the Presbyterian pastor, "to
cause such change in the tone?" "We
blessed it and blessed it until we got
the Presbyterian devil out of it," re.
torted Father Boyle, 'and then j.
sounded all right"

STRANGE BIRD SCHOOL.
In Some Parts of Germany BuIIfinches
Are Taught to Sing Sweet Music
by Machinery,

The story of the German bullfnch
is a very sad one. In its native
state it has a funny little chirrup,
something like that of the English
sparrow. 1t lives in the mountains,
and there are strict laws against
catching them or keeping them in
cages. But many persons break
these laws, and all over the empire
are places where the bullfinch is
trained to sing wonderful music. A
finely educated bird can sing from
six to twelve notes with perfect
sweetness and as smoothly as the
best human voice. Just after the
it is taken into a dark room, and
there it must stay until it is perfect
ly trained. 1t receives but little food,
and is by the darkness and hunger
made very lonely and nervous, so
that when at length it hears the
very much impressed and listens with
all its might.
The instrument is run by machin-
cry, and the air is played over and
over again, and there is no other
sound in the darkened chamber.
After awhile the Lonesome bird seems
to awake, the vocal chords tremble,
and faint sound comes from the lit
tie creature. At first it is but weak
and feeble imitation, but again and
again it tries the theme until at last
it pours forth all its soul in a clear
and perfect strain. And when this
given air is learned it must try an
other. until sometimes four or five
melodies are firmly fixed upon the
brain or memory of the young bull
finch.

CARRY WAR DISPATCHES.
when and Where Carrier Pigeons
Are Used, and What They Are
Capable of Doing.

"The New Popularity of the Car
rier Pigeon" is the title of an arti-
Gle by George Ethelbert Walsh, which
appears in ST. Nicholas.
Both in war and peace the carrier
pigeon has won new laurels in the
past year, and its popularity as a
well-bred pet and domestic messen-
ger has become as great as its use
fitness as carrier of war dispatches
where telegraph and telephone lines
are not ablished. That so inno-
cent creature as the dove-like car
rier should be selected for important
war purposes, and taken into the
service for furthering the bloody con-
f1lcts of modern armies seems out of
keeping with the aims of nature and
an abuse of mans power. The pigeon
is eminently a peactloving bird and
its nature is so different from that
of the screaming eagle and falcon
that as an emblem of war it should
be total failure. Nevertheless, the
tindd bird has served armies in times
of need ard is cultivated for its prac-
teal war usefulness to an extent
never dreamed of for either the fall
con or eagle. In a sense it is the war
bird of the day.
The pigeon post at Durham, in
South Africa, was the beginning of
the pigeon experiments conducted in
recent campaigns between the Eng
fish and Beers, and scores of mes
sages were carried from one part of
the English army to another by
means of the birds. Col. Hassard, of
the Royal engineers, staff officer
at the Cape, had made life study of
the carrier-pigeons, and before the
war broke out he had established pi-
geon posts between most of the be-
leaguered cities. From Ladysmith,
Kimberley and Mafeking pigeons
early in the sieges regularly brought
messages from the English soldiers
cooped up in the towns. Sir George
Whites first message from Ladysmith
was carried by a pigeon, and this
means of communicating with the
outside world continued until the
number of birds N the city was ey-
hausted.
1t was only short time before the
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1901-07-04

where, and army posts support large
made to protect those in private lofts.
AS a great military camp, Europe
looks upon the carrier-pigeon as
menace to the country if not held
under strict military control. In Ger
many, for instance, every pigeon
raised by private breeders must be
registered, and the pigeon cannot be
taken out of the country or sold with
out permission from the military au-
thorities. In the event of war, the
German authorities reserve the right
to claim and take possession of every
carrier-pigeon in the land. In addi-
ton to this, every fortress and camp
on German soil has its pigeon serv-
ice, and over $4,000 is appropriated
annually for the support of this serv-
ice. There are upwards of 10000 pi-
geons belonging to the war depart
ment, and every bird is carefully
trained and tested.
The United States military and
naval authorities have approved of
the pigeons as aids to the regular
telegraphic means of communication,
and there are several posts estab-
lished in the west and along the At
lantic coast. But on the whole this
country depends more upon private
breeders for its supply of carrier-pi-
geons than upon the birds already in
the service of the army or navy. Our
great distance by sea from all other
powerful nations makes it unneces-
sary TO arrange for the services of
carrier-pigeons as the European coun-
tries have done. There is little chance
of any foreign army invading this
country and destroying the railroad
and telegraph lines connecting the
big cities. Pigeon breeding and train
ing have therefore been carried on
in the United States more in the in
terests of peace and pleasure. There
are hundreds of enthusiastic owners
in every state of the union. and prob
ably in no country has the work of
rearing the birds been attended to
with greater intelligence and sue
cess.

outbreak of the war in South Africa
that the English government had de-
cided to establish a service of carrier
pigeons. In the navy, pigeon posts
were recognized means of carrying
information as early as 1896, and
there are over a thousand birds re-
corded on the books of the royal
navy. The first naval lott was at
Portsmouth and now there are two
Others. In the English army the
posts have been confined almost ex-
clusively to the Cape, where the ma
ture of tie country makes the hom-
ing-pigeon service of more value than
in England.
The development of the war hon.
ing-pigeon service throughout Eu-
rope has been more rapid than else

The various features for which the Lacka--

voluntarily impressed upon the notice of
the passenger, who realizes the luxury of
hotel or club appointment in the electric

possible by the use OF anthracite coal, avoid

consciousness of being always on time
which comforts force an ease of mind and
body most favorable to the enjoyment of
the unsurpassed scenery through which its

This appears TO have been the Con-
necticut motto. An old lady told Mr..
LOSING, the historian, that her father
was at the battle and assisted in
hosting the flag. He described it to
her. The ground was blue with one
corner quartered by the red cross of
St. George, in one section of which was
a pine tree.
On July is, 1875, standard was pre-
sented to Washington bearing the
motto IAN Appeal to Heaven" On Oc-
tober 20, 1775, a plan was suggested
