Markers for Graves of Revolutionary

Markers for Graves of Revolutionary Soldiers.
 Having been asked by various Alabama D A. R. where these can be secured it
 may be well to give some information on the subject through this column.
 For years the Society D. A. R. has felt
 the need af a marker and two States. at least. have presented what they consid- cred very appropriate designs for these.
 At the twelfth Continental Congress a
 delegate from Pennsylvania showed one
 which the State conference. at it's ses-
 sion last October, thought worthy of or
 fcial recognition and adoption and strong
 iy recommended H to the Congress. Cir
 culars had been distributed. previous to
 the Congress setting forth the approprt-
 ateness of the design. but when 1t was
 exhibited it really provoked some ridicuie
 and laughter and strange to telr' most
 of it came from Pennsyfvania woman.
 Four or five years ago New York state
 brought out a marker and asked the
 Conarees to adopt 1t, but no definite ac-
 ton was taken and this year when Penn
 syiyania appeared New York-represented
 bv Miss Forsyth--carne forward again
 and urged the claims of her marker.
 It was late Saturday night of the Con
 eress and the women were very tired ana not in the humor for business ana the srnarker'' matter was tabled and the ID. A. R. Society Is still without one Of her own.

"'Tis most likely. Bid them to
come in and find Earl de Wick"
The men were about an hour making
their search, and during this interval
Lady Jevery had been summoned. and
Anthony Lynn had received the slim
ulating drug on which he relied. But
he was very i'll, and Lady Jevery, who
adored her nephew, was weeping and
full of anxious terror. Matilda vainly
assured her Stephen was safe.
At this point the sheriff re-entered
the room. He was in vile temper,
and did not scruple to exercise it.
The man has gone" he said to An
thony Lynn; land | believe you know
all about the affair. You are none of
Cromwelrs friend. Many people be-
side me say that of you"

The sheriff turned to his attend.

You hear the traitor" he cried.
You heard Anthony Lynn turn his
back on himself! | knew him always
for black heart and a double tongue.
We must have a warrant for him, and
that at once"

ing old man, with superhuman
scorn, as his clay-like face suddenly
famed into its last color. Warrant!
warrant! Oliver Cromwell has no war
rant to fit my name. | go now on the
warrant of the King of kings. NATL
da! Stephen! | am going to my dear
lord-to my dear King-to my dear
Cod" and as strong man shakes off
a useless garment, so Anthony Lynn
dropped his body, and in that moment
his spirit flew away further than
thought could follow it,
What a villain!" cried the sheriff
VILLAIN, in your face" answered
Matilda passionately. Out of the
presence of holy death! You are not
fit to stand by his dead body! Go, on
this instant! Sure, if you do not.
there are those who will make YOU"
With these words she cried out for
her servants in voice full of horror
and grief, and the first person to an
swer her cry was Cymlin Swaffham.
Matilda went to his side, chung to his
arm, pointed to the dead man on the
hearth and the domineering figure of
the sheriff above it, and cried, Gym
lin, Cymlin, send him away! Oh.
twas most numerically done!"
Sir" said Cymlin, you exceed your
warrant. Have you arrested Stephen
de Wick?"
The man has run, Mr.. Swaffham,
and madame there knows it,"

Matilda. If the house has been

mirror with the utmost satisfaction.
She was her brothers double; quite

carriage, face and manner.
Matilda walked quickly through the
garden, and without molestation she
arrived at the three oaks. Yupon
Slade was already there. For nearly
an hour Matilda walked up and down
the road, keeping we'll within call of
her companion. But about nine
o'clock the sound of horse coming
at an easy gallop was heard, and Yu-
pom was softly called. He was at Ma
tilda's side as the rider came near

calling pleasantly, Miles Watson, a

The voice was familiar and kind,

canny Crows Cause DAMAGE.

, In Victoria, B. c., the owners Of
slate roofs near the water front have
been having much trouble because the
states were continually breaking and
falling from their roofs and then the
buildings were damaged by leaks. A
man was recently given the job of
investigating and worked in vain I'M
til one day he accidentally heard
something fall on roof and this ex.
planned the trouble. 1t seems that
great flocks of crows dig clans on
the beach at low tide and when one
caught a bivalve he flew high in tho
air with it and droppee it on to a
slate roof, which smashe.. the shell
and a piece of slate. Then the crow
flew down and sucked up the opened
clam.

thought 1t best to obey quietly, where
he could not resist. When Yupon had
bound him securely, Matilda took the
lantern, and drawing from her girdle
the sharp hunting knife, she cut open
the leathern mail bag and turned the
light upon it's contents. The small
private letters she hardly noticed. but
there were three ominous looking pa
pers closed with large red seals, and
these she instantly seized They were
all directed to the sheriff of Ely, and
she felt sure they were the authority
for Stephens arrest. She took posses
sion of the whole three, babe Yupon
set loose the horse, and leaving the
other contents of the rifled mail bag
on the grass by the side of the bound
carrier, she slipped away into the
shadows and darkness of de Wick
chase.
There was still fire on her hearth.
and she pushed the dying logs to-
gether, and lit candle by their blaze.
The. she opened one of the letters.
1t was a warrant for the arrest of
Squire Mason. The next opened was
warrant for the arrest of Lord Fred
erick Blythe; but the third was, truly
enough, the warrant for the arrest of
stephen de Wick, for treason against
| the Commonwealth and conspiracy
against the life of the Protector. She
drew her mouth tightly, and tore the
whole three warrants across, and
threw them into the flames. VIII IN

die and went to bed.
Matilda's plan had, however, been
too hastily formed and carried out to
admit of a thorough consideration, and
in her hurry of rif1ing the mail, it had
not occurred to her that one of those
small, unimportant looking letters
might also be for the sheriff This in
fact was the case. When daylight
brought rescue to the bound carrier
the rejected letters were gathered up
and one of them was a letter of in
structions regarding the three war
rants to be served 1t directed the
sheriff to take Mason and Blythe tc
Ely for trial, but to bring Stephen de-
Wick to the Tower of London.
The sheriff was in a passion of dis
appointment, and hastily securing {

1t was Della who, about the moor
hour, came flying into her lady's pres

ways-but disapproval tempered
with regret-so that men might not
suspect my opposition. The king was
even then sending to de Wick for
money, and | was supposed to supply
It on the de Wick silver and valuables.
In reality, the Earl sent these things
to my care, and he himself gave the
gold. 1hen there came a time when
de Wick was bare, and the king still
wanted money. And the Earl prom
ised to borrow from me one thousand
pounds, in consideration Of letters

tess de Wick in her own right, If her
brother Stephen had no heirs of his
body. Here are the papers relating to
your succession. and here are those
relating to my trust in the matter of
the de Wick silver and valuables."
Thus Matilda virtually became mis-
tress of her old home. Anthony was
seldom seen, but Stephen de Wick
, came and went, and brought with him
men whose names were not spoken,
and whose business meant much more
than the packs of cards which ap-
peared to be all they care for In
fact, Matilda was soon neck deep in
Prince Rupert's plot, and there was no
doubt in her mind that the month of
May would end the life of Oliver Crom-
well, and bring the king to his throne
and the de Wicks to their earldom.
She was sitting, one afternoon, talk
ing to Stephen, when a servant en-
tered. "My lady" he said, here has
come a man with letter, which he
will deliver to none but you" Matilda
ordered the messenger to her presence
at once. Hastily she glanced over the
lines, until she came to the discovery
of the plot.

to the roof of the house to watch
which road he took. In about a guar

One afternoon while the Bennings

while beautiful, was gusty, with &C.

edging up to grab it when the loser
of it turned his back, joined in a shout
when the bill flew into the air. The
wind took the $40 note almost to the
roof of the stand, and then it began to
descend slowly in eccentric curves.
Forty hands were wildly elevated to
grab the bill when it came down with

black man, deliberately rugged out,
strolled up to the squirming crowd
just as the bill got within reach. and,
calmly raising his hand, he annexed
the fluttering bill between his index

his vest pocket with broad grin. The
cutlery against him by the disappointed
ones was loud.
