When the subject was referred to her

possible, find him on the morrow and IN

00E had never known any other
iii name than Crooksie Peters, though
SSS there was Il rumor atloat in the
tenements that he had once been called
Jerome, or Gerald-they had forgotten
just which. What did it matter anyway?
Croolisie was far more appropriate, for
the only straight thing al, ut him was
the pair of little white pine crutches.
His memories of home We're q
There was Il misty outline of a big, red
faced man, who stumbled in late. and
went to sleep in the broken rocking chair,
with his mouth wide open. There was a
woman, too. Crooksie was more afraid
of her. She had eyes that burned you,
somehow, and straight. black hair, with
gray in it. Nance. people called her.
Once the man went away. but the WON
an stayed at home, and kept the door
locked and the old rickety bed against
it, too. One day, just at evening twi-
light-that interval of lull before the
noises of the night began, two horses
came down the narrow street and stop
ped at Crooksie's door. The windows
in the court We're raised and grimy faces
peered out.
Crooksie didn't know just what hap
pened: but there was loud talking, and
then the door gave in, and two men car
ried Nance, kicking and screaming, down
the stairs and drove away. And Jake
Bollinas had sat until dark on the curb
ing singing over and over, in n drowsy
monotone. "Crooksie's Nance has gone in
the patrol wagon! Crooksie's Nance has
gone in the patrol wagon"
All this was long ago when Crooksie
was only a child. He was nearly - now.
Other tenements had opened their doors
to him, and there had been a great deal
to do. There were babies to mind, and
serrands to so. and ever so many other
things besides. AS for Nance, he had
never seen her again.

sold papers and was authority on the

The big doctor laid him suddenly
down and walked away, but the pretty
lady knelt beside the little bed and took
Crooksie's hands in both of hers. Hot
tears We're binding her, but to a woman
it falls-this duty of taking the pilgrims
half way to heaven.
Dear little man," she said, "thore are
all sorts of heroes; big ones and little
ones, white ones and black ones; yes,
dear-and crooked ones. too"
AN do they put crooked ones out
where the grass an the birds is?" was
the eager question.
"Yes."
"And will they give 'em howers-vilets
an perrywinklcs an pinks!"
The little voice was growing very weak.
"Yes, DEAR" said the lady, land the
backs are all good in the land where the
heroes go, and the legs will all grow
strong"
a happy smile glowed for a moment
on the little face. and Crooksie gave a
long, contented sigh. IF Jakie-could
.only-know," he said.

a pair of tiny idle crutches and kissed a
little sleeper. Some one had placed a

Down a Mountain slope.

The descent from the easiest pass
across the Blue Ridge mountains there
abouts. known as Smokers gap, to the
Shenandoah river. is long and steady.
AZ regular intervals a little elevation
of solid earth. also known as Il brake,
has been banked up across the road
| to keep it from being washed away by
the heavy rains. n ferry. propelled by
the river current, carries the stage
coach across the Shenandoah, which
! ilows ut the foot Of the mountain.
One day the coach. we'll loaded with
passengers and their baggage, had at
tanned Il fair speal when an accident to
the harness occurred. The driver could
no turn the vehicle against the high
banks Oh either side ithout upsetting
it and perhaps manning its occupants.
There was nothing to do but to keep
the horses on their feet and guide
them"
Every time he reached one of the
mounds across the road he had to eXer.
else the greatest skill in steering over
it squarely, but by GOODNESS and pre-
sence of mind he brought his load safe
ly. although Mt Il tremendous speed,
down the mountain. From long eNpe-
rience he knew where it was possible
to drive into the river without getting
beyond his depth, and, as he boldly
plunged his team into the stream ar
effective brake upon its speed began to
operate. 1t soon came to n ssandstill
and the terror-stricken passengers
drew u long breath once more. Row
boats came out after them, the harness
and brakes were repaired and the
journey resumed.

One More Eulogy.

Lieut.. a. w. Thomson says. in the In
dependent, that when the Civil War was
practically over, he was sent from the
camp at Lincolnton to Charlotte, n. G,
under Il flag of truce. He entered the
town, and was conducted to Gen. Ech-
OILS headquarters in a large upper room,
evidently a schoolroom.

fine. portly gentleman. seated at a table.

CHANGING around, / saw sixteen OF
eighteen gentlemen. all, with one or two
exceptions, in military uniform. Col.
Morgan came up to me, shook hands and
said:
II believe you and 1 are not entire
strangers"
He had been our prisoner a year or so
before. While we chatted, Il gentleman
in Il civilian gray suit turned to address
Gen. Echols. The cold stare of a glass
eye caught my attention, and the features
were somewhat familiar.
"Ah, Jefferson Davis! Are you here,
pressed to the wall?" was my first
thought. His face was far more pleas.

A dispatch was handed to Gen. Echols,
who read and reread it with an earnest,

paper to Mr.. Davis, who read it slowly.
and then handed it back.

erous enemy"
1t was the news of President Lincoln's
assassination.

And the sculptured forms Of the men i

How Flags Wear out.

1t costs money to fly even two small
flags every day in the year. The two
small mes on the east and west fronts
of the Capitol, each about three yards
long, which is small for such an i'm.
mense structure as the Capitol, fray out
SO fast that 1t costs one hundred dollar
a year to replace them. They are
darned every day, and on windy days
probably two OF three times. Even
with all the economies, one hundred
dollars worth Of fine wool floats of into
the air in such fine particles that never
a trace Of it can be found even at the
foot Of the two 1agstafs.

GIVEN MORE FREEDOM.
pinos In Transferred to n Private
Residence I'm Manila.

Manila, April 22.-Aguinaldo has
been removed from the Malacanang
palace to private residence, SO So
lano street. The guard placed over
him has been modified. Gen. MacAr-
thur says the effect of Aguinaldo's adj
dress to the Filipinos will undoubted-
ly be beneficial. Aguinaldo composed
his address without assistance. The
original draft was in Tagalog. 1t was
afterward translated into Spanish. 1t
is believed Aguinaldo is sincerely de-
sirous of peace. He is not an educated
man, but is possessed of considerable
character and improves on acquaint-
ance. Agluinaldo is not anxious to visit
the United States, and 1t is considered
best that he should remain here pend
ing the completion of the work of paci-
fication.
The insurgent prisoners at Olongapo
will be returned to Manila. Many pris-
oners are released daily in exchange
for guns surrendered. Gen. Trias, who
surrendered March Is at San Francis

in securing the surrender of outstand-
ing insurgents. Russian, Fabella, Cos

CAPT. RIPLEY ACQUITTED.
Jury Finds Him Not Guilty of Being
in n Conspiracy to Assassi- (
nate GOebe1.

Frankfort, Ky. April 22.-The jury
in the case of Capt. Garnett Ripley,
charged with being in a conspiracy
which resulted in the assassina ton
of William Goebel, Saturday rendered
a verdict of not guilty, after being out
only a short time.
The defendant was Immediately sur
rounded by friends and congratulated.
Although the jury was out two
hours, most of the time was taken up
in discussing the case in the jury room.
Only two ballots were taken. On the
first ballot ten jurors voted mot
guilty" and two voted guilty" The
two who voted guilty said they be-
lieved the evidence showed him con-
nected with the conspiracy, but when
they learned that either life impris-
onment sentence or the death SEN
tence must be imposed and that a
shorter sentence would not be inn
posed, they came over and voted with
the majority for an acquittal.
The verdict in the Ripley case is gen.
orally approved, though it was sur
prise, as it was generally predicted
there would be hung jury. Capt.
Ripley is the fourth one of the alleged
Goebel suspects to be tried.

Cleveland, o. April ga special
to the Leader from Kendallville, Ind.
says: The home of John Andigo, an
Amish farmer, was entered Saturday
night by three men, who secured
$4,000, after burning the old mans
ears, nose and fingers with lighted
matches. A 19-year-old daughter of
Andigo was insulted and when her
father refused to give up his money
as readily as demanded, she was
dragged down to the floor by her hair
by one of the robbers. The mother,
who had seen her husbands torture
and her daughters indignities. told
the robbers that if they would de-
sist she would give up the money.
She led the way to the cellar, where
in an old cupboard the savings of
years, $4,000, was handed over to
the robbers. The men forced their
way into the house with revolvers
in their hands.
