about yard square. In it he built a
fire and heaped it way up, so that,
after it had burned for an hour and
been cleaned out, that pit was pretty
near as hot as Tophet. Then it was
ready for business. We put the head,
skin and ali, on the bottom, with
plenty Of those sugary yams alongside.
Over the top we put some oak planks
we borrowed from neighboring
farmhouse, and covered them over
with earth. You can imagine how per-

ready-made oven.

Gen. Pat Cleburne, of Arkansas; Gen.

to say all responded, for, let me tell
you, the federals had swept the coun-
try almost bare, and it had been

several weeks. Our table was made
of three oak planks held up by
crotched tree branches; our dining
room was the scrub oak grove where
we had pitched our camp, with the
wild birds singing and chirping in the
leaves; the fresh smell of the earth
was In the air, and what more did we
want?
"The cows head was served on hot
oak plank for a trencher, with the

BY WAY OF THANKS.
What Monroe Once Did for General
Lafayette.

That Lafayette's services to this
country are still held in cherished
memory is shown by the great value
placed on relics of the generous
Frenchman. The marquis's chaise, in
good preservation, has just been
placed in the Memorial Hall at Gin
cinnati. But America once had an op-
portunity to express her thanks in a
more practical and satisfactory form
than by giving ovations or collecting
souvenirs. Mr.. Murat Halstead, in an
article in the Cosmopolitan, gives an
account of how James Monroe did the
good turn which the marquis's SER
vices deserved.
Lafayette, favorite at court, a gay
young soldier married at the age of
16, was an officer at the garrison of
Metz when the impulse came on him
to seek adventure In America. He
came without leave, without the con-
government. He was an enthusiast
for humanity and liberty. What he
did for America every schoolboy
knows.
Later, when the war was over, the
marquis and his family were back in
France. James Monroe, American
minister, arrived in Paris just after
the fall of Robespierre. The news
was brought to him that Madame La
fayette was in prison, and that all
efforts for her release had failed.
Monroe was placed in a delicate po-
sition, between his official station and
his sense of his country's obligation.
In his report of the affair he declares
that he is prepared to "go beyond the
line of official reserve" to save the
lady. Behind those dull lines of re-
port there is story full of interest.
Monroe was not a man to weigh
consequences when he bore in mind
how much his nation owed to Lafay-
ette. An extremity was threatening
and he CROSSED the line"
Learning that Madame Lafayette
was soon TO be led to the guillotine.
he sent his wife to La Force prison
| in the official carriage of the legation.
The trappings announced to every one
the dignity of the American minister.
| then the only representative In Paris
of any Of the nations of the earth.
Mrs. Monroe played her part with
charming audacity. She did not go as
a suppliant, but in state. demanding
| admittance.
Madame Lafayette. expecting every
moment a summons to the scaffold
was told that the wife of the Ameri.
can minister wished to see her. Feel.
ing the hope of rescue. the poor wo-
man fell sobbing at Mrs. Monroe's
feet. The wife of the minister raised
cheer. Then she announced In tone
which was heard by the officials that
she would call the next day. When
that time came, however. 1t was not
necessary to keep her promise. Mad
ame Lafayette had been released.
She hastened Immediately to the
house of the Monroes to express her
! gratitude for their timely aid.

HORSE THIEF SENT
 BACK ID BENSON
Herrara, Old Offender Caught With the Goods on at
 Fairbank,
Special to Review0

TOMBSTONE, Aug. 22.-Augustin Herrara, alias Albert Allen, was brought up from Benson and placed in the County Jail and will be held to await the action of the October grand jury on a charge of grand larceny. Herras is the Mexican who on Satur- day at Benson stole a horse, saddle and bridle belonging to George Smith and started toward the Mexican line. The theft was noticed several hours after Herras had gone and the sheriffs office here notified. Under Sheriff Hopkins telephoned to Deputy William Bennett at Fairbank to look out for the Mexican. He had just fin ished describing the outfit to Bennett, when the Mexican rode up to the front of the store at Fairbank. He was placed under arrest by Bennett and was held there until Ranger Porter Mcdonald and Deputy Sheriff Ned White arrived to bring him up here. White and Mcdonald had started out to intercept the Mexican before he was caught by Bennett. On Monday Deputy Sheriff White took Herras down to Benson and he was given an examination before Judge Chesdilene and held to await the action of the grand jury.
 Herras is an old offender and the sheriffs office here had a warrant for him for the stealing of horse from this city a few weeks ago from another Mexican named Gabriel Finn bres. It is also believed that he has had a hand in 8 number of eases where horses have been stolen during the past six months and an investiga' tion is being made of them. When the grand jury meets Herras is very liable to find himself up against some two or three indictments of grand larceny.
 During the past few months there has been more horses stolen in the county than for a number of years. In a number of instances these horses have been taken from one part of the county to the other and then turned loose, while in other cases no trace of the horse or thief has ever been found. There are now two Mex jeans held in the County Jail to an swer the charges of horse stealing, the other being Padilla. who was arrested few weeks since on the charge of stealing a horse from William Black burn.

USED BIBLE AS CIPHER.
A Verse From Solomon Told of Mar
 riage Engagement.

v
 riage Engagement.
 When she left her home in the small town to come to New York to take up a special course of study her pet sis ter was fast reaching the crisis of love affair." The pet sister was a most winsome young lady and had long kept & goodly train of suitors assigning. Was this affair to be the grand affair? The older sister hoped so, for she liked the young man cordially-thought he was just the sort to make a proper brother-in-law.
 But the weeks passed, and not bit of definite news about the progress of the affair did the older sister receive in her city boarding house. She be- came anxious. Louise, she thought, must not go on recklessly trifling in such important matters.
 Then one night about 10 o'clock, just as she was going to bed. came a tele- gram. The servant brought it up. The elder sister was country girl enough to be thoroughly frightened by the pale manila, black linked envelope. How ominous it looked! At length she gathered courage to open it This is what she read:
 Solomon six three. LOUISE.
 Solomon six three, Whatever in the world. Oh. why, yes. stupid. 1t of course meant the Song of Solomon, sixth chapter. third verse. But-ard her cheeks flushed with shame-she had no Bible!
 There was a great scurrying about the boarding house to find a copy of the sacred book. The girls were rout- ed out in vain. On all sides the cry arose. Who's got Bible?' Just think of the sister trying to sleep that night without knowing what that verse was! It would have been just like a woman to lie down to pleasant dreams, content to know that she could satisfy her GU riosity in the morning-nOt!
 The landlady, good soul came to the rescue. She was no heather. She had Bible. Cp to her room with it flew the sister and shut the door. Such a turning over of pages by eager, nerv- Ous fingers! Solomon six three. She found it, and then she cried "Hurrah!' and laughed. for the verse was:
 I am my beloveds, and my beloved Is mine.
