A Prehistoric Cemetery.


Workmen terracing King hill, an old
landmark of northwestern Missouri,
which is to be converted into a resi-
dence suburb Of St. Joseph, have un-
earthed prehistoric cemetery. The
remains of a race of dwarfs, not allied
with any tribe known to have inhab-
tied this territory, and unaccounted for
by Indian legendary, repose on the
summit of King hill. A feature re-
markable in itself and especially
marked in connection with the DWARF
ish remnants of prehistoric man found
in this summit is the discovery Of
human bones, evidently those OF
giant, probably more than seven feet
tall and big boned. Low, fat heads
with small intelligence and marked
animal propensities, characterized this
people. Heavy jaws and strong, we'll
preserved teeth carry the records Of
their lives forward. Brutes, human
but inhumane, self-reliant, they are
savages of a lower order than any we
know today. Yet they honored their
Dead Shells such as are found on the
banks of many inland streams, plen-
tiful ON the sandbars of the Missouri,
overlooked by King hill, and stones OF
unusual hues, worthless in the COM
mercial marts OF. today, the playthings
of children, were deposited in the
graves-Chicago Record.

CHAPTER III.
An Unexpected Visitor.


It was the afternoon OF the same
day. The sun was lower in the west,
but the heat had not yet lessened, and
all the blinds in the spacious mansion
of Springfield were closed. The ex-
tensive estate had, as yet, been spared
the devastation of war. 1t was in the
immediate vicinity of one of the prin-
cipal stations in the South
and owed it to this circumstance alone
that, for the present at least, it could
afford it's inmates absolute safety.
A pleasant dusk pervaded the sit
ting-room, whose doors opened upon
the wide terrace. The glazing sunlight
in the garden outside could not find
it's way into the apartment, whose
doorways were protected by blinds and
curtains; and little fountain, whose
jet rose amid circle of tropical
plants, diffused it's COOL glittering
drops through the sultry atmosphere
A young girl of perhaps eighteen
was half reclining in a rocking chair.
Her little head with it's wealth of dark
hair was flung YEARLY back, her eyes
were closed, and the long black lashes
formed sharp contrast to the pretty
but somewhat pallid face. Her thin
white dress, which, though intended

Honor Paid TO Tories.

The first member of the board of
aldermen who wants to pull the tail
out of the British lion might do so
by changing the names of some of
New York's streets. The board of
aldermen have the power Of changing
the names of streets at their own
sweet will. This being the case, it
seems strange that the men most
prominent as Tories or Royalists at
the time Of the revolution are honor
ed by having some of the principal
thoroughfares of the city named after
them.
Oliver Delaney was arrested by the
liberty boys as traitor, yet we have
four streets recalling and perpetuating.

streets, which ran through the Delan-

streets, both complimentary to two
members of the family, who were
traitors to the cause of liberty. Will

an ancestor of Thomas Frances Bay
ard. Bayard and Hester streets, which
stfll remain such, were named after
him snd his daughter. Thomas Bar
clay, traitor who fed to Nova Scotia
to escape Imprisonment and execution,
was clergyman of Trinity church, the
hotbed of Toryism, and Barclay street
still bears his name. Lindley Murray,
the Tory grammarian, has his name
perpetuated in Murray street. John
Moore was deputy collector of GUS

of the atrocities practiced by English

Rivington. It was due to him that
hundreds Of patriots died of starva-

jails and cellars of the North Dutch
church in Nassau street, and in other
and worse prisons on the Hudson
river side at Eleventh street.
Peter Warren was a brother-in-1aw
of Rivington and fully as strong in his
hatred and denunciation of patriots.
He'was honored by having Warren
street named after him.
Robinson and Clarkson streets were
named after two noted Tories. Rob.

Tho young officer seemed to have
expected this refusal. He advanced 8

formal tone used heretofore.

hitting me even an explanation. The
outbreak of hostilities prevented my

weeks. What is the use Of this herce
haste? Why should the wedding take
place beside my fathers sick-bed 49,
Because 1t is your fathers last wish
and will, as you know from his own
lips. He wants to know that you will
be safe and sheltered In husbands
arms when danger assails us, and he
has my promise that ! will protect you
and his property to my last breath y
las soon as it becomes yours i
don't doubt IT.
Edwards brows contracted angrily.
A dark frown shadowed his face.
what does that mean, Florence? Do
you doubt my love? You know that
it is bestowed on you alone, not your
estates, which, In the storms Of war,
may be destroyed. like SO many which
have already been ruined. You must
trust me-, I shall certainly not sac
rifice you to any principle, as others
have DONE"
The allusion was distinct enough.
Florence's head dropped, but her tone
betrayed rising indignation; as she re-
piled:
WAS I sacrificed? You say so, and
so does my father, but I have never
heard it from Williams lips, and you
were always his enemy. cannot I'M
derstand his giving up the struggle so
quickly, not even making an attempt
to change my views, and sometimes
fear"
She did not finish the sentence, but
her eyes, which rested with unmistak-
able suspicion on her cousins features,
expressed the thought which she did
not utter in words. But there was no
change in his countenance, and the an
swer was equall.' unmoved and cold.
Surely, you read the letter in which
he broke with your father? Was not
that plain enough? He knew the price
that would enable him to possess you.
1t would have cost him only a single
word to call you his; yet, instead, he
delivered political lecture on manly
honor, duty, conviction and the rest of
the set phrases. Well, he followed his
conviction and-gave you up"
The young girls pale face began to
flush, and her lips were closely COM
pressed. This was the goad which had
conquered her resistance, forced her
into the new bond; it produced its eff
feet now.
eyes, he gave me up" she repeated,
bitterly. "Well-I have given him
up, too"
"And cannot you yet shake off the
memory? You have been candid with
me, Florence, cruelty candid. l was
forced to hear from your lips that that
other still held the first place in your
heart, that only tilial duty won your
consent to my suit. Be it so! l will
venture the risk, even with this state
ment. I will cope with this arrogant
German, who does not know what
love is, who has never felt the full
pulse of genuine passion. For me, no
price is too high for the prize of pos
sessing you. I would overthrow all
that stood between us, were it even
what held highest. Resist as you
may, shall yet win you-you and
your love-
There was really touch of genuine
passion in the words, and the ardent
gaze which rested on the young girl
proved that Edward Harrison was not
playing mere game of calculation.
Florence INTERESTINGLY left the hand he
had seized in his clasp. She was half
unconsciously under the thrall of this
man, whom she feared, for whom no
voice in her heart pleaded, yet who
exerted an almost demoniacal power
over her.
