the men shook their dice; the scamp
student took up his book, but even
Horace seemed not to absorb his un-
divided attention; a mountebank at
tempted several tricks, but failed to
amuse his spectators. The candles,
burning low began to drip, and the
servant silently replaced them. Be
meath lowering brows the master of
the boar moodily regarded the young
girl, whose face seemed cold and dis
dainful in the Pickering light The
plaisant addressed q remark to her,
but she did not answer and silently
he watched the shadow on the floor
Of the chandelier swinging to and fro
like q waving sword.
"Will you have something more, good
foolT said the insinuating and unex-
pected voice of the host at the plai-
SAINTS elbow.
Nothing"
"You were right not to draw" con-
tinued the boniface, with q sharp look.
"What could jester do with the
blade? I'll warrant you do not know
how to use it?'
Nay" answered the fool, 81 know
how to use 1t not--and save my neck"
Mine host nodded approvingly. "Ha,
merry fellow" he said. "Come, drink
again. Twill make you Sleep"
81 have better medicine than that"
retorted the Jester and yawned.
"Ah, WEAKNESS. I'll warrant you'll
rest like log" he added as he moved
away.
At that some one who had been lis
tening laughed, but the fool did not
look up. a great clock began to strike
with harsh clangor, and Jacqueline
suddenly arose. At the same time the
minstrel, stretching his arms. strolled
to the door and out into the open air.
Good night, mistress" said the
harsh voice of the master of the boar,
as his glittering eyes dwelt upon her
graceful figure.
The girl responded coldly and, amid
a hush from the company, made her
way to the stairs, which she slowly
mounted, preceded by the lad who had
waited upon them and followed by the
Jester.
At the end of the passage the guide
Of jestress and fool paused before a
door. "Your room, Mistress" he said
"And yonder is yours, Master Jester"
Then, placing the candle on stand
and vouchsafing no further words, he
shuffled off insthe darkness, leaving the
two standing there.
"Lock your door this night, Jacque-
line," whispered the fool.
"You submit overeasily to an af-
front" was her scornful retort, turn
ing upon the Jester.
"Perhaps." he replied phlegmatically.

The bolt shot sharply into place, fas-
tening the door. No other response
would she make. and the Jester, after
waiting in vain for her to speak, turn
ed and made his way to his own cham
Der, adjoining hers.
Weary as the young girl was, she
did not retire at once, but, going to the
window, threw wide open the blinds.
Bright shone the moon, and, leaning
forth. she gaZed upon clearing and for

Beliefs Ahout WRYea

The Persians believe that the waves
Of the Persian gulf are caused by air
entering caves which have subterra-
mean outlets under the ocean. One of
the most curious beliefs Of all-one
closely akin to a certain ancient orien-
tai hell belief-is that of the south sea
islanders. According to their notion,
the rolling Of the sea Is caused by a
thunder god" In old times this
thunder god" killed the chief deity of
the islands and was confined under the
ocean as punishment. His rolling
with rage causes the waves.

Around The Town.
BY OBSERVER.

DSr~N-~S' @@~~'
If Observer were asked to point out the
three worst evils in Camden he wouldfirst
cite attention to the unclean condition of
closets and stables. A stroll down some
OF our streets and alleys, on the premises
of good citizens, reveals state of unsan-
itary conditions that are "tough, (" to say
the least of it. Under a noon days sun
one can see typhoid fever vapor. The
marshalhaspersistently made complaint,
but some people wait to be prodded with
a sharp stick to make them move.
The nextevili is the boldness with which
hogs lay around under ones very door
step, wallow in the alleys and carry their
slime and filth around with impunity.
1t occurs to Observer that while The city
council is tightening down on the chill
dren about roaming on the streets and
passing ordinances against boys playing
ball on the highways, it might do some
thing above the petty style of government
and go after the hogs.
Next to the hogs, almost In their class,
is our bunch OF cussers. OF all towns for
boisterous and filthy language, Camden
is near the limit. Men, not to speak of
the unthinking boys, sit around in their
laziness, claiming a moderate degree of
responsibility, and cuss their neighbors,
cuss few vulgar Jokes, cuss because
they have not manhood enough to talk
better, and they do not care whether la
dies dislike it or not. 1t is strange how
level. They have talked indecently so
long that to be reproved for using foul
language in the presence or hearing of
women would be regarded as joke.
Yes, sir; they would call you a preacher.
And a preacher to them would be like an
angel. But they will continue to cuss.
The long spell of inactivity in the lodge
OF Knights of Pythias was broken in an
enthusiastic meeting at their castle hall
Monday night Several applications for
reinstatement have been filed and indi-
cations point to the reception of petitions
for at least half dozen new members on
next Monday night. Sidney L. Peeler
has been elected delegate to the grand
lodge at Knoxville which meets in May.
....
This man, Ike Wilson, is a good mar
shall. Observer believes he is the best
one Camden ever had. He is doing his
duty, so far as we can see, but he has
some hard customers to deal with. He
looks after the streets, the lights and en-
deavors to impress upon violators of the
health ordinances the necessity Of doing
their duty as citizens. Few seem to take
cognizance, however.
With the minor exceptions of being the
target. for shotgun in the hands of
woman, letting another female snap
pistol in his face, being assaulted as
''whitecap" and getting arrested while
on his way home with prisoner, Sheriff
McCord captured the Henderson County

religion. Miss Frances Wakley. of this
city, built a funeral pyre of papers and
books of her cult, lighted it and per-

For four months Miss Wakley, who
was % years old, had been a member

which teaches the near approach of the
millennium. She had been fasting and

nourishment being a little rice. From

Her mother and a neighbor heard
groans and rushed to the young wom-

beneath and about her books and pa

were blazing. The neighbor seized a
blanket and attempted to beat out the
flames. The girl waved her away.

Troop of United States Cavalry Are
Treated to q Rare Days Sport
Indians P~redicament Causes
Soldiers to Use Guns.

The daily march of a troop of cavalry,
en- route across the great Navajo reser-
walton in western New Mexico, had just
begun one bright fall morning, a few
years ago, when Man-ton-to, a Navajo
warrior, came riding furiously towards
the moving column and, forcing his
horse to the side OF the officer in COM
mand, began hurriedly to addres him.
Man-tOn-to had spent some years In
captivity in his boyhOod days, as a peon
in a hamlet on the Rio Grande, and had
acquired a fair speaking knowledge OF
the Spanish language, with which speech
the officer was fortunately we'll &C
quainted.
The lair of q great grizzly bear, the In
dian fastened to say, had been discov-
cred in a little valley not far away, and
a number of warriors, armed with bows
and spears. were on their way to attack
the creature. He had come, he contin-
ued. to invite the soldiers to witness the
sport.
The officer promptly accepted the in
vitation and, directing his men to follow,
fastened after the Indian. 4 short ride

simultaneously the eyes disappeared
and the dogs bounded INTO the darkness
of the cave. Grabbing up a blazing pine
knot, the hunters, with their guns in
hand and hatchots in belts, followed.
At an angle in a wall they found a
marrow passage leading into another
cave, and their flaming pine knots
brought a retreating bean into view.
They were in a bears den, probably the
home of the one that they had been fol-
lowing all day. Urging on their dogs,
they entered the second cave, and there
saw four bears. One OF them, a big male,
was facing them, showing his teeth and
growing threateninSly at the dogs,
Which were springing at him. Behind
him was the mother bear and two cubs,
probably five or six months old.
Calling off the dogs for a clear aim,
the men each let go one barrel Of their
buckshot at the bears head. He rose on
his hind legs and sprang upon the near
est dog and tore it to pieces, but While
he was doing 50 the hunters killed the
brave brute with heir hatchets- A
single shot Killed the mother pear, and
as her young tried to escape they, too:
were finished and the carnage, which
lasted not to exceed five minutes, ended
with four dead bears n one dead dog
and it had all taken place by the light OF
the burning pine-knot, which had beer
dropped to the floor of the cave when
they saw the bear.
After a thorough search as a matter OF
pre2aution. the hunters returned to the
outer chamber OF the ave and went tC
sleep by the fire.
On the following morning they go'
their bearings and went away. but re
turned in the afternoon and secured TIT
carcasses of the bears, which the,
shipped down the Delaware and UlsteI
road TO New York. The station scale:
showed that the largest OF the bear!
weighed more than 800 pounds.
