THE SINNERS CHANCE.
~~~~>~~N~~~N.


A story which comes from the Con-
temporary Review has bearing con-
siderably broader than the mere facts
of the case; for the negro who IS the
central figure was possessed of a
quality not infrequent in white Of
tenders. too-the ability to magnify
the mote in his neighbours eye until
the whole community forgets that he
has beam in his own.
He had stolen the proceeds of a col
benefit of the minister, and the church
had decided to try him. The meeting
was crowded. The preacher presided
After statement of the charges, the
accused man had chance to be heard.
He went forward and took the place
of the preacher on the platform

Then he started one of the powerful

One Way Round.

An old man who sells produce in the
towns near Lowell, Massachusetts, has
his share of the best kind of wit-the
unexpected. Not long ago, according to
writer in the Lowell Citizen, he de-
livered a pair of dressed chickens to
one of his customers. She was in the
kitchen when he brought them in, and,
woman-like, shivered a little when she
saw the headless fowls. r
81 should think you'd simply hate to
cut off the heads of those innocent
chickens" she exclaimed, involuntar-
lily.
81 do" replied the old man, "and so
I never do 1t. / manage to get round
It."
"How?" the housewife demanded,
with eager interest. '4The heads Of
these chickens are gone"
"Oh, yes" said the old man, cheer
fully. II chopped the chickens off,"

menced when the sharp crack OF more
than dozen we'll aimed rifles scattered
their enemies like autumn leaves. The
athletic pioneers dashed down those
nearest them and ran toward the fort
under heavy shower of balls.
Andrew and Ebony, who had been
stationed at the gate for that purpose,
opened it in haste, and the brave men
threw themselves in, bleeding from few
slight wounds, and painting with exer.
ton.
''Well done, my gallant boys." cried
the captain. as he precipitately entered
the block-house. THAT fire was a lev

Fleming

asked Mr. Aston.
Captain Boone colored, and seemed
panied and embarrassed.
"Yes, we've seen him! we've seen
him" exclaimed Logston, emphatically.
And then, as if to divert his thoughts
from the subject, he trod on Vesuvius'
tail, putting him into towering passion
and making him more than ever anxious
to worry Andrew and Ebony.
THE fact of the case is" said Boone,
seriously, that our friend Logston be-
lieves he has made discovery. Captain
Du Quesne and Monsieur lie Bland are
the same"
THE same" cried Aston, turning
pale.
"Identially the same" returned Joel,
with a scowl.

claimed. What do you think, Captain

latter
"And you, Mr.. Fleming?" resumed AL.
ston."
I'll venture to make the assertion
that if Du Quesne were to die this very
moment there wouldn't be such a man
as lie Bland on the face of the earth"
a dark frown passed over the usually
placid face of Mr.. Aston. IF this is
indeed true" he said at length, ''this
very hand shall punish the perfidy of the
villain"
"Pervidin' don't get my eyes on him
fust" muttered Joel, while Vesuvius
growled in concert, and Andrew and
Ebony withdrew to the further part of
the Fort, influenced by the most prudent
motives.
Boone remarked that it was certain
Du Quesne, notwithstanding all the va
porings of Girty, had no cannon, and
therefore he should not think of surren-
dering, as he was of the opinion that
they could not take the place without
ordnance.

CHAPTER yyvr

Captain Boone stationed his men In
the block-house tc command q view of
the parties, and where they could cover
them with their rifles.
IF they lay hands on us and attempt
to detain us, fire, and we'll willingly in
cur the risk of being hit. And mark
me, remember Girty and Du Qdesnev'
said the pioneer, when, with his two
companions, Fleming and Logston, he
Awas ready to leave the fort.
Il think it would be WELL" said Joel,
for each of us to conceal some kind of
a weapon under our hunting frocks. I've
an idea that we shall feel the need on
'em afore we get back"
"It is well thought Of" replied Boone
sour hunting knives will answer thu
purpose
Enjoning it upon the men to observe
well their instructions, the gates were
opened and the three men passed o''1
and their friends who remained watched
their footsteps with intense interest
They were met within the specified dis
lance by numerous party. among
whom were three Frenchmen, Girty. Nc
Kee and several chiefs.
THAT does not agree with my notions
of friendly and honorable treaty" said
Reynolds, who. with his rifle at loop
hole. was observing all that was trans
piring. There are too many there:
they mean no good; keep sharp look
OUT
A discussion of considerable length
now ensued: and so far as those at the
station could judge by appearance, ev-
erything was going on in the most
amicable manner. But Reynolds did not
relax his vigilance; ne declared that on
this occasion he would not be deceived
by Indian cunning and French Implicitly:
and the settlers being left under his
command he ordered every man to cover
with their rifles the bodies of those near
est the captain and his associates and
not to take their eyes for single mo-
ment from the sights.
The wisdom of this advice was soor
apparent. The good humor of the
Frenchmen and the principal warriors
seemed to increase. Innis Mckee drew
near to Reynolds and looked eagerly
forth.
'They will shake hands soon," she
said. "and that will be the signal for
seizing them"
Innis stood pale and anxious at a
loophole; for she had at that instant
caught view of the form of her father.
and he was very near Captain Boone.
Reynolds quickly perceived her agita-
ton and guessed the cause.
Don't fire at McKee," he said, in q
low voice to his comrades.
II thank you very much! exclaimed
Innis; ''for know he does not deserve
mercy at your hands,"
sThe service you have rendered rs,
fair Innis, justly entities you to consid.

dent of the Mormon church. who
plead guilty of unlawful CO.
habitation and was fined $500.
1t was his forty-third child. born
to his fifth wife that brought this
weak vengeance upon the old
rascals head. In Colorado he
would go to the penitentiary for
ten years for such crime: Enough
genuine Americans should go into
Utah to make it the same there

Such utterances display very
narrow conception of right. BE
it remembered that Joseph Smith
was one of those who emigrated
to Utah when it was virgin desert.
He and his associates built an
empire there in order to ENJOY
religious liberty. The religion is
peculiar one, involving the Po-
lygamous relation. No one can
doubt that he is married accord
ing to the law of his church to
all these women. Then the gov
ernment stepped in and made
prohibition in such cases. He was
supposed to put away four out
of FIVE women to whom he had
sworn fidelity. He did not do it.
He has lived with, and supported
them and now pays the fine
assessed. His course is one
thousand times more admirable
than half hundred men who re-
side in Colorado, live Intermit-
emily with twice as many women
and escape prosecution through
concealing the facts. For our
SELF we do not favor polygamy.
Women, like whiskey and other
good but dangerous things, are to
be taken in moderation only.
But Mr.. Smith and this editor are
very different people. He ac-
uuired his title to FIVE women
before the government saw mt
to interfere with his industry.
Now he refuses to shake them at
the governments orders. Who
can righteously question his
action? Might it not be well in
this age of red light districts in all
our cities, of proposed trial mar
riages by the ultra respectable OF
the east, of open and fragrant
sexual immortality among practic-
ally every class everywhere. to
permit those who marry more
