CHAPTER XIII.
ONE MELVIN FEARED.

Turner knew that Melvin was not
going to Beckett's Mill. He was as
well assured Of that fact as he would
have been had Melvin told him SO. He
knew, on the contrary, that he was 60
ing to Hi jenkins place. Why he was
going he did not know further than
that he knew the new stranger had
something to do with 1t.
The important information possessed
by little coterie at ,Beckett's Mill
concerning Melvin had not reached
Jonathan Turner. In fact, and for a
wonder, 1t had not spread beyond the
few persons to whom Sam Morgan had
related 1t that night at Hicks store
The reason 1t had not spread, and the
only reason doubtless, was attributable
to Hicks. With an eye single to bust
ness he had seen likely chance to
turn few honest dollars OILY IL they
would all keep quiet and patiently
await the development Of events. TAX
ing the others fully into his confidence,
he had said:
"If that feller's done somethin dret-
full for which he has to hide out from
the law-which, of course, he has, or
he wouldn't "a said so-why, 1t STAINS

They oil saw the wisdom Of Hicks
plan and readily agreed to 1t, and for
awhile they kept sacredly to their
agreement. The temptation to talk
was great, 1t must be admitted. but

HISTORIC STONES MUTILATED.
The New Mason and Dixon Markers
Will BE of Cast-ITon.

CARLISLE, Pa, June S--The mOnu-
ments of the Mason and Dixon boundary
line between Pennsylvania and Maryland
have suffered severely from the attacks Of
vandaIs, and they Will soon be replaced
with cast-irCn markers.
Rapid progress is now being made on
the relocation of the line. The eastern
portion was originally marked by stone
monuments at equal distances Of one
mile. Many of these stones have been re-
moved or destroyed. The western portion,
owing to the great difficulty at that time
in the region traversed by the line. was
marked by wooden posts. cut on the spot
and secured in place by mounds OF earth
or stone piled around them These posts
have disappeared, but some Of the mounds
remain Many have been destroyed by
cultivation Of the ground 1t is be
Hsved- though, that enough of them can
he recovered TO enable the relocation OF
the boundary with precision.
The Pennsylvania Legislature has ap-
prOpTiaJed $500 to reset and repair the
boundary monuments and the Maryland

ACKNOWLEDGMENT in many instances by the
existing war, and whose Christian work
has been seriously interrupted. We are
deeply panied by the intelligence brought
to Us by pastors from South Africa that
ministers Of the Reformed Church. not
bearing arms, have been imprisoned and
exiled because of their loyalty to their
congregations and to their country. and
that women and children have been i'm
DriSOned and kept in camp without proper
shelter or any provision for furnishing
food. We realize that war under any cir
cumStances IS terrible, but our appeal is
to the Christians Of the churches Of Great
Britain, that such treatment Of helpless
women and children and of the ministers
of Jesus Christ IS in opposition to the
teachings Of our Saviour, and we there
fore enter our earnest protest and urge
our English brethren that these evils be
remedied- Furthermore. We cannot but
express the earnest hone that England

nation, may see her way TO arbfTrate the
existing differences, and thus peace and
prosperity come to that desolate land

THE PAY OF AN ARMY CAPTAIN.
An Important Ruling by the Comp

Robert J. TraceweH. Comptroller CT the

Paymaster General of the United States
Army. wherein he makes the request that
the former reconsider his decision of
May ,, 1891, in the claim Of IT. Brookmau

first lieutenant to captain and assistant
surgeon.
Mr.. TraCewefI declined to modify his
decision. saying that ali captains and as
siStant surgeons commissioned under the
act of March 2. 1893 are commissioned by
the President whether by original ap-
pointment or by an appointment or pro
motion by seniority. The rank of captain

whether commissioned before or after

Mr. TraceweII said shat if it be held
that the provision in the act of February
,, 1871, applied only to those assistant sur
seous who came originally into the ser
vice as captains and not to those who be
came captains by promotion. as insisted
by the War department, there is no pro-
