sharply in the direction of Harmony.
Pursued and pursuers were drawing
close to this point. Guys attention
was taken up by those behind and
Pettibone and his companions had
eyes for no one but the young man
in front. Thus it happened large
contingent of mounted men squirting
swiftly along the Harmony road,
failed to capture the notice of those
on the other trail
Realization was brought suddenly
home to the Concordians by a ter
rife yell from the Harmonyites. Pet
tibone and his friends drew rein,
panic-stricken, and whirled to flee.
Capt. Blue was coming at the head
of his Invincibles, q score at least,
and the sun shimmered upon the pol
ished gun barrels that lay across
their saddles.
Guy was between two fires. AS it
made little difference to him which
way he went, he kept straight on.
He saw at least half dozen of the
Invincibles raise their guns to their
shoulders. Instantly he threw up
his hand.
Dent shoot!" he cried, thinking
the weapons were aimed at him.
I'm unarmed!"
AT that precise juncture report
came from behind him and bullet
sang past his ear. He turned in his
saddle to launch threat and warn
ing at Pettibone and his men and.
just as he did so, a spiteful volley
leaped from the muzzles of the
leveled guns ahead.
Guy felt sharp sting in his side
as though a knife-point had pricked
him.
stop shooting!" he cried again,
and the quivering impotence of his
voice amazed him. stop shooting or
you'll kill somebody" He had in
tended to make the shout lusty
one but it was scarcely more than a
whisper.
Everything in his line of vision be-
gan to reel. The horsemen in front
became tangled in maze. He raised
himself in his stirrups, pressed both
hands over the burning spot in his
side and then pitched headforemost
from his saddle.

MUST PICK THE BONE.
The Old Slave Refused to BE Turned
Adrift After Working His
Life Away.

AS is we'll known, slavery existed in
a small way in Massachusetts, in the
early days. Slaves were often freed
by will at the death of their master,
and not infrequently aged and UNI
healthy servants We're released in or
der to save the expense of their main
tenance. The unfortunate freedmen
then became charge on the town.
So frequent did such cases become that
the general court of 1904 passed an
act which prohibited the freeing of
servants, except upon giving bonds to
save the public from future charges.
The historian of Maiden cites an in
cident, says Youths Companion.
One of the old esquires of Maiden
had slave who had been in his fam
lily until he was about 70 years of age
Perceiving that there was not much
more work left in the old man. his
owner sent for him one day and adj
dressed him in pompous fashion.
"You have been faithful servant to
me, and my father before me, he said.
81 have long been thinking what l
should do to reward you for your serv-
ices, and l have decided to give you
your freedom. You are your own mas
ter; you are your own man.
But the old negro shook his grizzly
head, and with sly glance which
showed that he saw through his mas
ter's intentions, quietly replied:
''No, no, massa; you eat de meat,
and now you must pick de bone"

spy's Valuable Services.

Miss Major Pauline Cushman was.
one of the best known federal scouts
and spies and rendered most excellent
service to the government. She was
an actress at the beginning of hostili-
ties. and while playing at Louisville
she was arrested by the federal
authorities because it was believed
that she was in the employ of the
south This little woman vehemently
denied, and to prove her loyalty
took an appointment in the secret
service After short trial in work
which required discretion and tact she
was assigned to Gen. Rosecrans.
Time AMI time again she visited the
enemy's lines and made herself famil-
lar with the roads in Southern states.
Miss Major Cushman was made a
prisoner twice, but managed to es'
cape without telling any of the secrets
intrusted to her by the federal gov
ernment. Juat after Nashville was
taken she was captured while max
ing trip near that city. Again she
! managed to escape, only to be recap
| tured the following morning. They
searched her this time and found in
her garters papers which proved con-
ciuSively that she was a spy.
Arrangements were being made to
hang her when the Union forces
marched into the town and took pos
session. In the war department there

As Viewed In Washington.
President ROosevelt'S recent utter

ances on the Monroe doctrine in his
message to congress were written with
the Venezuelan matter in view and
probably for the purpose of indicat-
ing to Germany and Great Britain how
far this government was willing they
should proceed in the collection OF
the moneys which they are claiming
from Venezuela. 1t is presumed,
therefore, that President Roosevelt is
ready to meet any emergency which
may arise in the future.
It is regarded as significant that the
great naval maneuvers under Admiral
Dewey which are now going forward
around the island of Porto Rico were
conceived after Great Britain and
Germany had formally announced
their purpose to send hostile fleets to
the Venezuelan coast.
This government is we'll prepared
for contingencies. The Navy Depart
| ment could on short notice send into
those waters fleet far stronger than
the combined naval forces of Ger
many and Great Britain, but no wal
ship will be sent if it can be avoided

whose claims are to be enforced by
the ultimatum against Venezuela are,
according to the New York Tribunc's
correspondent in London, railway and
Larbor improvement companies. Some
of these companies complain of de
faults of interest guaranteed by the
Venezuelan government. and another
corporation, which took up an issue
OF bonds. claims that considerable
amount OF unpaid interest is due 1t.
The German claims are larger IN
amount and more varied in their ma
ture and the responsibility of the Ven
ezuelan government for the redemp-
| ton of the obligations is less obvious
! in certain sections OF the account.
The precautions taken by the Unit
ed States in ordering a strong fleet to
the Venezuelan coast do not escape
| attention. 1t is considered sign
| that the Washington authorities are
on their guard against the taking OF
too drastic measures on the par'
either of Germany OF England for the
collection of a debt from weak
power distracted with revolution.
