Lucia took advantage OF the accident
to get up and run like deer toward
the fort. Joe could have easily caught
her but for two reasons-first, he had
hurt leg: second, Lucia ran more
recklessly than he dared run, risking
fall at every step. She longed to cry
out, but dared not lose a second in re-
moving the handkerchief that gagged
her. She reached the fort and entered
the hole not ten seconds before Joe
pushed his larger body more slowly
through it. When he got inside he
saw Lucia standing beside one Of the
barrels of powder, the head Of which
had been removed, holding the lamp
of the lantern over the powder.
'Stop or drop the light"'
The man saw desperation In her eyes
and halted
"Come away" he said. "You will
kill yourself as we'll as me-"
Her only reply was to move the
light, holding it within few inches of
the powder, and give piercing shrek.
A sentry walking past In front Of the
magazine door heard the cry. at an
other time he would have called the
corporal of the guard. who would have
reported the matter, and the author
lied person would have come with the
key and opened the door, but for sew
eral days constant access to the am
munition had been necessary and the
door left unlocked. The sentry brought
his piece to a level and flung open the
door. There stood the colonel's daugh-
ter, white as ghost, holding lamp
over a powder barrel. Joe was glanc-
ing at her. trembling from head to
foot.
"Take him." said Lucia
The sentry brought his piece to his
shoulder and, looking along its muzzle,
gave the order Hands up!' Then Joe
was marched away to the guardhouse.
There were both CONSERVATION and
relief when it was known that Joe had
SO nearly succeeded in not only getting
away with the colonel's daughter, but
had very nearly led the Indians into
the magazine. In the morning the In
dians saw Joe's body hanging to ar
arm nailed to the flagstaff Since they
had expected him to lead them into the
magazine the night he had made the
attempt. seeing that he had failed anG

A TRYING MEAL.

The Fine Flavor Of the Jam Came
From Moving source.
In Mr.. Julian Hawthorne's "Haw-
thorne and His Circle" is the story OF
an experience which will doubtless be-
appreciated by many housekeepers
who have suffered similar agony. x n0t
from precisely the same cause.
One night during Mr.. Hawthorness
term as consul ut Liverpool his friend.
Mr.. Henry Bright. the water color
artist, came to an informal supper. and
Mrs. Hawthorne. in honor of her guest.
placed upon the table jar Of especial
ly fine raspberry jam.
Mr. Bright tasted the jam and at
once became enthusiastic. He had
never eaten any SO delicious. he de-
clared. There was peculiar tang
about 1t which surpassed his recollec-
tions Of any jam he had ever tasted
from boyhood up. He was still in the
midst Of his rhapsodies and still con-
suming their subject with enthusiasm
when Mrs. Hawthorne. who had taken
little Of the Jam upon her own plate,
made CHASTITY discovery. The cover
of the jam pot had evidently got ajar
in the closet, and an innumerable army
of almost microscopic ants had discov-
cred the treasure and plunged eagerly
into it.
What color the invading enemy may
have been before they became incore
porated with the Jam nobody knew. At
the time of the discovery they could
be distinguished only by their strug-
giles with the pervasive sickness. and
only then by the keenest eyes. and the
eyes of Henry Bright were among the
most nearsighted in England.
What was to be done! Mr. and Mrs.
Hawthorne stealthily exchanged zone
awful look.' and the question was set
tied. 1t was too late to recall the ants
devoured by thousands; It was clearly
one Of the cases where ignorance waa
bliss. Mr.. Bright accompanied hid
meal with a continual psalm" IN
praise of the exquisite flavor Of the
raspberry jam, and never to the day
of bis death did he discover the awful
secret Of that favor.

Hi. Self sacrincing Di.po.ition.

There isn't anything my boy Will

I'VE had leg Of lamb the other day
for dinner, and Willie ate till l thought
he'd burst, but when he went out to
play ten minutes afterward neigh
bor's boy told him they were going to
have roast goose for dinner at their
house and asked him to 60 and eat
with him. Willie didn't want to be
uncivil, so he went along. and just as
sure as I'm sitting here he pretended
he was hungry and ate more of that
roast goose than the other boy did"-

HEALTH RULES.

A clean and cheerful house makes a
happy home.
Rise early. retire early and fill your
day with work.
Frugality and sobriety form the best
elixir of longevity.
Cleanliness prevents rust; the best
cared for machines last the longest.
Water and bread maintain life: pure
air and sunshine are indispensable to
health.
Enough sleep repairs waste and
Strengthens: too much sleep softens
and enfeebles.
Cheerfulness makes love of life, and
love of life is half of health. On the
contrary, sadness and encouragement
hasten old age.
The mind is refreshed and invigorat-
ed by distractions and amusement, but
abuse OF them leads to dissipation and
dissipation to vice.
To be sensibly dressed is to give free.
dom to ones movements and enough
warmth to be protected from sudden
changes of temperature.

A Delicate Refusal.

Levassor, the well known French
comic singer. once took part in char
ity concert in Paris and after the per-
formance was invited by the promoters
to supper along with the rest Of the
performers. When all were seated II
table Leyassor found under his napkin
an Easter egg out Of which five pieces
Of gold dropped on its being broken.
"Ah. perceive you have got 70
know that I am fond OF boiled egg"
the comedian gayly remarked to his
entertainer, "but you are probably moi
aware that I only eat the white and
must therefore ask you to give the
yolk to the poor"

SCOTCH NAMES.
The Reason They Abound Among the
Creek and Cherokee Indians.

The Reason They Abound Among the
Creek and Cherokee Indiana.
The prevalence Of Scotch names with
the Creek and Cherokee Indians has at
various times been the source OF some
comment. Although other nations,
and, in fact, nearly every nation, Is
represented by the names borne by
these people these Scotch names are
far more numerous and have suffered
less change than those acquired from
any other nation. The names Of some
of these Scotch Indians are closely al
lied with the history of these two ma
tons for the past 100 years, and for
several generations such names as Nc
Intosh. McKellop, McCombs. Adir,
Mcqueen and McGillivary are register
ed on nearly all the treaties and Offi-
cial papers Of moment to either ma
tion. Men bearing these names today
are among the foremost Of the pro-
gressive Indians.
AS was stated, the origin Of these
Scotch names dates back over 100
years. At that time the Greek and
Cherokee Indians more especially bent
their efforts toward building up q ma
ton of physically perfect men, The
women were encouraged to mate only
with the strong. robust men of the
tribe, and IL weak man withstood the
taunts and gibes of his fellows and re-
mained there was little chance Of his
securing wife. In that way the life
of these people was almost Spartan.
While this sentiment was at its
height and the tribes were living in
Georgia. some time before the Revolu-
ton. regiment of Scotch highlanders
was quartered in the vicinity OF one
Of the principal villages OF the nations.
The Indian maidens looked with favor
on the burly men Of the north Of Scot
land. and number of marriages was
the result. When the regiment was or
dered back to England or to some 9th
er quarter OF the globe there were
some Of these Scotchmen who stayed
behind. and their names have thus
been fixed in the annals Of the Greek
nation. 1t is through the Creeks that
the Cherokees acquired their Scotch
names.-Okmulgee News.

The First Use ot Napkins.

A French writer who evidently was
conservative and did not welcome the
napkin kindly records with scorn:
"The napkin is placed under the
chin and fastened in the back. as If
one were going to be shaved. A person
told me that he wore his that way
that he might not soil his beautiful
frills."
1t was a difficult matter to tie the
two corners in the back. and it Is said
that thence originated our expression
for straitened circumstances. hard to
make both ends meet" This custom
led to the habit OF the table walters OF
carrying napkin on the left arm.

When all had been served and had

MENTIONED
in ORDERS S
tOriginal.1

Joe was his name, and no one at the
other. He was a half breed, who had
come to the post with information that
the Indians were preparing to rise.
and since his information had proved
correct he was trusted implicitly. The
Indians not only rose, but soon after
left the reservation and laid siege to
the fort. 1t was but two company
post, incapable OF a long defense
against the thousand Indians who en-
camped around it, and unless succor
arrived in time it would be taken and
the garrison massacred.
There was one person in the fort
who mistrusted Joe, and that was Lu-
ella, daughter of the commandant,
Major McGregor. She often caught
Joe casting longing eyes upon her. and
somehow she did not quite like their
expression She warned her father to
look out for the half breed, but as she
gave no reason and Joe had given In

that health, like happiness, did not ex-
