might have offered, met with a hearty
affirmative response, and they started
to carry it out with military expedition
and promptness. They were engaged in
this work when a horSeman was dlscov-
cred sweeping down the hill on the trail
made by the wagons, and while he was
yet a mile away he was recognized as St.
Armand.
The young ladies, when they saw him
before had named him the handsome
hunter;' but on the men the young out
law had made anything but a favorable
impression.
st. Armand was soon up. The treat
ment of the men was cold, though they
seemed to brighten up when st. Armand
told them he was only going to remain till
his horse had fed and rested Watching
his chance, he succeeded in finding Jen-
ME Greyson alone. and full of the ruling
motive of his mission, he approached her
and said:
Jennie Greyson, didn't you expect to
see me again?"
Il did not think about YOU" she said,
surprised into Il brusqueness that resem'
bled his own.
you did not?'
L surely ulu not.
II have thought of nothing but you
since last l saw you" he said, with a
forward step, while his dark eyes burned
into her face.
''You might be better employed"
II don't think so. But do not go away
there is something l want to say to
you"
WHAT" Jennie's beautiful face was
very pale, but she had no dread for this
man.
II love you, and l want you to love me-.
will take you north. to Fort Nelson,
and my father will"
Without waiting for him to finish this
astonishing declaration, Jennie Greyson
turned and with flashing eyes and COM
pressed lips was about to walk away.
ST. Armand, still impulsiye, reached
out his hand and sought to detain her,
but in the act he found himself seized
by the shoulders and hurled to the earth
by power far superior to his own.
Looking up. he saw tall Ned Costello
bending over him with a dangerous glow
in his gray eyes, and he heard Ned Cos
tillO say:
eff you don't double your distance and
single your freedom, by this and by that
I'll lay you over my knee"
st. Armand had physical courage-rath-
err the courage of a carnivorous animal;
he threw his hand on his pistol aud was
in the act of drawing the weapon, when
Mike Costello dropped on him, took away
his belt, and told him if he did not leave
the settlement at once that he would
make it hot for him.
The actors in this scene were its only
observers. st. Armand saw that the
young men meant what they said; and he
also saw that he had Numbered, and that
it was now too late to make amends.

"How should l know"
Il should like you to go to the place
where the Greyson par. has settled,
said the captain, after a pause.
"When?"
"At once"
"And what would you have me do
there?''
Learn all about the plans, hopes and
daily habits of the people. They think
YOU are mountain hunter?'
Yes"
'And you told me that Gen. Greyson
treated you as if he was suspicious"
He impressed me in that way" said
st. Armand frankly.
II know the man well, and | am sure
that he would rather see his daughter
dead than your wife, even if she loved
you; and being girl of taste you must
have attracted her fancy
Thank you"
"Oh! | am sure of it. But if you do
as | say. you can carry her off like a
knight of old, and she will love you all
the more for your GOODNESS and daring
Il don't object to adventure, Captain;
that is what l came for; but the truth is,
| do not fancy playing fox. Now, if we
could make a dash and carry off the girl,
that would be just in my line
But if you knew what a bad, wicked
man this Gen. Greyson is you would not
hesitate to get him out of the road
you amaze me-
Il tell you the truth"
but what has he dOne?'
''He killed his own son. He is a fuSi-
tive from justice as much as the great
est thief in our band. His hands are red
with innocent blood. Why else should he
leave civilization and bring that beautiful
girl into the Wilderness"
.. st. Armand was young, unreasoning
and impetuous. He had conceived the
greatest admiration for the courage and
prowess of Captain Richmond. He could
see no reason for his lying, so he implicit
ly trusted him.
Richmond saw the impression he had
made, and with Satanic cunning he fol
lowed it up, telling the young man what
he should do and say, and when he should
return with his report.
Fired with the Importance of his new
mission, st. Armand shook the captains
hand, and refining back his horse he wait
ed till the cavalcade had ridden on some
distance. Then he wheeled toward the
west.

authorities suspect a stranger who was
in that village for several days, but who
cannot be found. The safe of Louis A.

was cracked by dynamite. The work was
evidently done by an expert.

The people of Appleton and vicinity
have gone wild over a get-rich-quicN
scheme which has been worked through
that section for months past. Early sub
scribers are drawing big dividends and
this has led to rush on the part of
every one having a little money to invest
and get rich quick, Weekly dividends Of
20 per cent are paid and some OF the
investors have already drawn out more
money than they put in. This fact has
led to others taking all their savings and
putting them in the pool. Others have
mortgaged their homes for the same pur-
pose. Up to the present time it is said
that 100000 has been taken out of Out
agamie County by the promoters of the

Brewer Shoots stepsons.

John Holmes. who recently eloped with
Mrs Walters of Appleton, owner of The
biggest brewery in the Fox river valley,
shot and seriously wounded his three
stepsons, Henry, George and Martin
Walters. The shooting occurred near
the brewery just before the supper hour
and was caused by quarrel concerning
money matters. The trouble between the
men is due to the division of the estate
left to the present Mrs. Holmes by her
first husband. The Walter estate is val
ued at about S120,O00 but since the mar
riage of the widow the children and rela-
tives have taken active steps to prevent
Holmes from getting the bulk of the
money.

WEDDINGS IN BRITTANY.
Solemnity of Marriage Service in
Northwestern France

From the Woman's Home Companion.
Woman is held in great honor in this
part of the French republic, and marriages
have a solemnity that they possess in few
other places. II is difficult to trace the
history of the custom that gives the tailor
such high rank at the wedding as the
Britons accord him. He is the marshal for
the groom, and If he be gifted in the art Of
making rhyme he may be asked to partici-
pate in the comedy Of formally wooing the
bride by reciting stilted Verse in her pres
ence. He wears a red hose on his right
leg and A purple one on the left when he
makes this journey. while from the end Of
his wand suspended two little embroid-
cred hearts.
When the nuptials are celebrated bread
and wine are blessed and exchanged with
the groom by the brides parents. The
wedding follows Immediately. and the
bride barricades her house preparatory to
receiving the groom. The lover arrives ac-
companied by bagpipers. who play in front
of the house while the mock parley con-
tinues. He makes formal demand for his
wife and her relatives bring forward her
Meantime the smell of the viands which
are being prepared for the feast floats on
the air. OF course, the aged woman Is pO-
litely set aside. Perhaps babe may be
the next response to his importantly. He
must not lose his temper or insult the one
who presents the infant, but with rather
eXaggerate ted praise he returns the child.
A widow and married woman are per
haps the next to lie offered. and II is not
until he has refused them all that the bride
Is brought out, dressed and ready for the
ceremony.

italian Marriage Customs.
ms Home Companion.

From the Woman's Home Companion.
No maiden can witness the marriage Of
an Italian woman. no matter how intimate
she has been as a friend. but matrons ac-
company her to the church Neither can a
girl enter the house of her lover; and SO
emphatic is this rule that it is considered
necessary for a woman to pass by the house
of her lover in such a public way that all
can be satisfied that she does not enter it.
The lover gives presents according to the
season-cake at Easter. rosebuds at the
feast Of st. Marks and almond-paste at
Christmas. In addition to bonbons and con-
feetionery the groom sends the future bride
all the jewelry he can afford. especially
fnger-rings. Sunday is the only lucky day
in the week for weddings. as all others have
some ominous meaning. If the wedding is
on Monday insanity is threatened; Thurs
DAY is witches day; Tuesday wedding will
bring great suffering, etc. In Venice the
bridegroom must furnish the gondolas for
the marriage procession. four candles for
the mass and plenty of coppers for the
Swarming beggars.

MAGNETISM OF MISERY.
Men Haunt Scenes That Revive Mem
cries of Pain.


From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Every storm, earthquake or disaster of
any kind brings out a curious phase of hui
man nature. Many of those who have seen
their houses destroyed or their nearest rel
atives killed return as soon as possible to
the scenes of devastation. In som, in
stances this is explained by the fact that
there are more opportunities of earning a
livelihood among old neighbors than among
new surroundings In numerous cases,
however, no such business reason operates
as an inducement. The magnet is senti-
ment not money. AS some mourners de-
vote every holiday to visiting graves, so a
large fraction of the homeless and be-
reaved go back to spend the remainder Of
their days in the genes that recall calam-
ity and agony.
1t was so after the great London fire. it
was SO after the Lisbon earthquake. it was
so after the yellow fever swept Philadel-
fire, the Mississippi floods. Charleston,
Johnstown and other catastrophes confirm
the old experience. Apparently the desire
to gain new pleasures is not more Keen
than the wish to revive the memory of old
pain. Our late storm has destroyed much
property and a number of lives; but We
will see. people choosing homes in sight
of the telegraph pole from which the fatal
live wire dangled, or the flooded stream
in which the only son was drowned.

May Marriage Superstitions.

From the London Chronicle.
Is the superstition as TO Nay marriages
responsible for the meeting of the annual
parliaments of the religious world in this
month? Certainly at this season the clergy
are SO free from matrimonial engagements
that they can arrange for a week I'm town
on the strength of the fees for the many
marriages they are called upon TO perform
In April. Whatever the origin, the popular
aversion TO being married in Nav Is pro-
nounced and the more remarkable since
this is the merry month" and the lovers
month" In the Roman Catholic Church
the belief is connected with the worship Of
the Virgin, to whom May is sacred. Ever
since the marriage of Mary. Queen of Scots
to Boutwell,. on May Il. 1J57, the month
has been regarded matrimOniany UNI
lucky in Scotland. But the superstition is
prehistoric, for pagan Rome cherished the
same prejudice against May marriages.

Too Much Punctuation.
From the London Chronicle.

Mr. Bernard Shaw viii have the SYM
pathy of writers-and we should think of
compositors-in his protest against the use
of the apostrophe. He has himself dropped
it out of "aint," don't and shouldn't
but not out of ''he'll-before he wrote his
protest in the Author. But why all these
inverted commas. the silly trick of pep
pering pages with these uncouth baciiii?'
You will find none of these baciili in the
Bible. Take this passage, chosen at ran
dom! Now Jesus knew that they were
DESTROYS to ask Him, and said unto them
Do We inquire among yourselves of that 1
said, A little while, and We shall not see
me; and again little while and We shall
see me? The modern compositor would set
that passage between two brackets of in
verified commas. for it is a quote within a
quote. But 1t is beautifully clear as it
stands And among all Biblical rnisunder-
standings, no one we think has been misled
by the absence of an inverted comma.

CARE OF ROSES.
Patience and Skill Required to Com
bat Enemies of Flowers.


From the Pilgrim.
Happy the rose grower who gathers roses
unmarried by worm and blight, with foliage
perfect in form and color; but with the
June roses this is almost an mpossibility.
Rose bugs, SlugS and caterpillar; rose
thrips. blight and mildew conspire to make
the life of the rose grower one of ceaseless
activity and constant vigilance. The sim
plest all around preventive measure lies in
of the plants, that the air and sunshine
may have free access to every part of TIE
bush, and the application of water from
hose and syringe with sufficient force to
dislodge the insects that may infest the
plant. care being taken to reach every part
OF the plant. especially the under side of
the leaves.
The small green worms which draw the
leaves together with a slight net cannot be
removed in this way. the most effectuai
method of destroying them being to go
over the bushes, pinching the leaves be-
tween the thumb and finger. or more agree
ably. with spring clothespin. The spiraes.
too, will need this attention. In some varie-
ties, as the biilardi. the leaves on the lips
of the branches will be found drawn to-
gether over the blossom buds, and the buds
completely destroyed. In varieties giving
but single crop of flowers during the
summer this is quite a serious matter and
should have prompt attention. For the de-
struction of rose bugs, shSwering the plants
with the Paris green solution is the most
effectual remedy, using one teaSpoOnful to
four gallons of water. 1t must be used
promptly as these are of all rose pests the
most unsightly and destructive. eating the
full-blown roses and quickly destroying the
blossoms Of an entire bed.
