some moments before the monster was

ODE Wir1r7irlG
Of Belinda
By RHODA OGDEN.

L WAS one of those early April DAYS
when the soft air blew up the valley,
stirring and swelling the young buds
on the trees. You could almost see'the
grass grow. and, if you listened, you
could surely hear the frogs, even while
the sun shone, piping loud and shrill
by the river. DIR. Lea, coming back
from q long round of visits among the
miners of Dry Branch, felt this spring
air stir the young blood in his veins.
The red birds from the beeches on the
hill called Co him Belinda, Belinda"
while the water as ii rippled over the
stones below echoed softly: Belinda"
As he came around the turn of the road
he saw the Belinda of his thoughts
standing by the gate, and feeling ir-
resistibly drawn he turned towards
her.
"Give me some of those violets. Miss
Belinda" he said, beseechingly. put.
ting out his hand toward the bunch
she had just been gathering.
''What do you want them FORE" she
asked, teasingly, holding them behind
her.
Because they are yours" he said.
simply.
Nonsense, do you want everything
that belongs 60 me?" and she opened
her black eyes in feigned surprise.
"You know l do" he replied, seri-
ously.
''You are so in earnest, you can never
take joke" she said with an injured
air.
This is no joking matter to me-" he
answered, and tried to take her hand
that was resting now on the gate, but
she quickly snatched IL away, saying
saucily: 'Some day perhaps you may,
when you do something to make me
look mp TO you. AS II is now / don't
have TO lift my eyes TO YOU" and she
looked mischievously straight into his.
She regretted her words almost as
soon as she had said them, when she
saw the hurt expression on his face.
But she did not speak-and after
moment of silence he turned away.
"You are in an impossible mood this
evening and am only doing my cause
harm. Until tonight then" and
waving his hat to her, he sprang up the
hill toward struggling row of miners

houses, and was soon lost to sight be-
hind the tall paw-paw bushes. Belinda
leaning idly against the gate, gazed
thoughtfully at his retreating figure.
She repeated to herself again and
again that he was too young and mex
perienced, she wanted a man who had
fought hard battles and won great vic
tories. She recognized his fine Quail
ties, his talents and their possibilities,
but she wanted to see them tested; his
boyishness provoked her, while the
nobility of his character she did not
fully appreciate. She shrugged her
pretty shoulders as she thought, with
something between a smile and a sigh.
that DIR. Lea would be back, like the
''moth round the candle" that very
night.
Ever since that day six months be-
fore when DR.. Lea had come as her ia
theirs assistant, she had known he
would fall an easy prey to her or her
sisters. There was Serena, engaged at
sixteen to one, married at twenty To
another. Belinda ended her reverie
with almost wish that the next would
prove of harder heart, it would at least
be more exciting, and life at Dry
Branch needed all the exhilaration one
could give it. She turned reluctantly
from the gate and the charming view
down the valley and walked slowly to-

PENETRATING AMMUNITION.
West Point Gun Was Loaded with
Ham Sandwiches and Made
an Impression

At West Point, among SO many young
men full of health and animal spirits,
it is inevitable that there should be
plenty of jokes afoot, even to the ex-
tent of pranks constituting breach of
discipline. A favorite form OF mis-
chief consists in tampering with the
gun. Once, at least, according to II.
Irving Hancock, the reveille gun was
loaded with a peculiar kind of ammuni-
tion, says Youths Companion.
When the sentry comes in from
guard-duty at night, he finds coffee and
sandwiches in the tentiwhich serves as
cadet guard-house. AS it is not easy to
gauge his appetite, there is generally a
liberal supply Of the sandwiches.
An officer and a member of the board
of visitors were walking one morning
before reveille. The officer was dilat-
ing upon the wonderful air at West
Point. Suddenly the reveille gun was
fired, and both gentlemen began to
sniff.
Marvellous ARP" said the visitor. ''I
should call it peculiar"
at does seem strange" admitted the
officer.
at smells hke-like - like fried
hami"
Precisely. But who is cooking il ?''
1t was too early for breakfast in any
of the houses at the officers quarters,
and besides, the odor seemed to come
from the plain.
This must be looked into!" NUT
tered the officer. Suppose we take 9
walk over the plain"
A fragment of scorched ham was
found in the grass, then a piece of bad.
ly made toast, then more ham and
more toast.
A trail of fried ham and toast ex.
tended for an eighth of mile. Some
cadet had loaded the gun with sand
witches, rammed them down under
newspaper wadding, and awaited the
event. No one ever discovered who that
frolicsome cadet was.

ONSLAUGHT BY STRIKERS. !
Kept .. G. n. Co. Employees From
Working at oIiphant, Pa.-Depu-
ties Warned Back.

Scranton, Pa, May 21.-Fifteen
hundred mine workers at Oliphant
yesterday morning made tie first seri-
began in the Lackawanna valley.
Their onslaught was directed against
the Grassy Island washery of the
D. & H. Co., in the northern part of
the town. The approaches were
blockaded to such an extent that Dis
trict Superintendent Sarge and num-
Der of foremen from the company's
nearby mines found it impossible to
make their way through the lines and
were forced to retreat down the rail-
road tracks with boots, cat-calls and
some flying missiles following then.
A Hungarian wom~- jumped in among
the fOremen and snatching the hat
from the head of one hurled it into
muddy pool, yelling wildly as she
did SO. Her action almost precipitat-
ed trouble, and only through the de-
termined efforts of some of the strike
leaders was she dragged away and
made to keep quiet. While this dem
onstration was going on six armed
deputies, who had come up from the
washery, were warned not to ap-
proach too near and warned that they
had better go back to the washery.
AS no company official was present to
direct their movements they acted on
the suggestion and retreated to the
washery.
Superintendent Sarge and his fore
men came, to Scranton and consulted
with Superintendent Rose. The COM
pany offcials say they are determin-
ed to operate the washery and the
Oliphant strikers say they are just
as determined that it shall not be op.
Grated.
