There 1ros that Joe, and nobody else,
stuck up In q little boa outside tent"
to nee the Spotted Wild Boy" Yes, it
was Joe Louden! Think you Mr.. Arp
could forget that face, those crooked
eyebrows? Had Eskew tested the rec
ognition? Had he spoken with the
outcast? Had he not! Aye, but with
such peculiar result that the battle OF
words among the sages began with
true onset Of the regulars, for, accord
ing to Eskew,s narrative, when he had
delivered grimly at the boy this charge,
II know you-you're Joe Louden" the
extraordinary reply had been maoe
promptly and without change of coun-
tenance, Positively no free seats"
whats the matter with you" Mr..
ARD whirled upon Uncle Joe Davey'
who was enjoying himself by repeating
at intervals the unreasonable words,
Couldn't of ben Joe" without any
explanation. "Why couldn't it?' shout
ed Eskew. "It was! Do you think my
ewes are as fur gone as yours? saw
him, tell you. What's more, that boy
Joe III turn up here again some day.
You'll see II he don't. He's a SEED OF
trouble and iniquity, and anything OF
that kind Is sure to come back to Ca
naan"
Mr.. Arp stuck to his predictio'. for
several months. Then he tegan TO
wayer and evade. By the end OF the
second year following its lirst utter
ance he had formed the habit OF deny
ing that he had ever made 1t at all and,
finally having come to believe with all
bis heart that the prophecy had been
deliberately foisted upon him and put
In his mouth by Squire Bnckalew, be-
came so sore upon the subject that
even the hardest dared not refer to it
in his presence.
Eskew's story Of the ticket seller was
the only news Of Joe Louden that came
to Canaan during seven years. Anoth-
er citizen Of the town encountered the
wanderer, however, but under circum-
stances so susceptible to misconception
that in moment Of illumination he de-
cided to let the matter rest in a golden
isilence. This was Mr.. Bantry, and the
cause Of his silence was the fact that
his meeting with Joe occurred in the
STRAW Cellar" tough New York re-
SORT in which neither Of them should
have been.

CHAPTER VII.

"HE passing Of Joseph from
Canaan was complete. it was
an eyanishment for which there
L was neither sackcloth nor sur
prise, and, though there came nc news
of him, 1t cannot be said that Canaan
did not hear Of him, for surely 1t
could hear itself talk. The death Of
Jonas Tabor and young Louden's crime
and fight melted high doings in the
National House windows. Many days
the sages fingered with the broken
meats of morsels left over from the
banquet Of gossip.
Very little of Joseph's adventures
and occupations during the time Of his
wandering is revealed to US; he always
had an unwilling memory for pain and
was not afterward wont to speak Of
those years which cut the hard lines
in. bis face. The first account of him
to reach Canaan came as directly to
the windows of the National House as
Mr.. Arp, Fastening thither from the
station, satchel in hand, could bring 1t.
This was on September morning
two years after the flight, and Eskew,
it appears, had been to the state fair
and had beheld many things strangely
affirming his constant testimony that
this unhappy world increaseth in sin;
strangest Of all, his meeting with our
vagrant scalawag Of Canaan. "Not a
blame bit Of doubt about it." declared
Eskew to the Incredulous conclave.
There was that Joe, and nobody else,
stuck up in little box outside tent
at the fair grounds and sellin' tickets

BABY's ECZEMA GREW WORSE.

Heve H1m-But Cuticura Remedies
a Speedy, Permanent Cure.

Eczema appeared when our baby
was three months old. We applied to
several doctors and hospitals, each of
which gave US something different
every time, but nothing brought relief.
At last, one of our friends recommend
ed to US Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment. A few days afterwards i'm
provement could be noted Since then
we have used nothing but Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now
the baby is six months old and is quite
cured. All that we used was one cake
OF Cuticura Soap and two boxes Cuti-
cura Ointment, costing in all $1.25, c.

William Stearns Davis. the author OF
"A Friend of Caesar" has in press a
new romance which will be published
under the title "A Victor Of Salamis. :"
In his earlier book Mr.. Davis recon-
structed the social life Of Rome; in the
new volume he tells tale Of love and
adventure IN early German days.
George Eliot spent many of her early
years on the ancestral estate Of +. A.
Newdegate. d. L., of Arbury Park,
NuneatOn, where her father, brother
and nephew served as land agent. In
view of this fact Mr.. Newdegate will
erect a monument cut from stone quar-
ried on the "Hollows Farm" 1t will
be pillar with suitable inscription.
The recent appointment of II. G.
Wells as justice of the peace for
Folkestone recalls the fact that Robert
Burns was gauger and Sir Walter
Scott was a sheriff. Thomas Hardy is
said to be more pleased at being known
as justice Of the peace for Dorset than
as the author of Tess" Congressman,
Senators, members of Parliament, am
basSadOrs, members Of the American
cabinet and of the British ministry
have in recent years figured in the
publishers list, which includes, as we'll,
the names of Queen Victoria and Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Another new language, called the
Language Of Digit" is being discussed
as a universally intellifible means Of
nations holding converse with each 9th
er. The new language is the outcome
of sixty years pathological study on
the part of the inventor, who unfortu-
nately died before it was introduced to
the world. The one thing which COM
mends it to favor, especially among
young students, is that it has no gram
mar. Number, person, gender and
tense are abolished. Nominatives may
go as they please quite regardless Of
verbs, and parsing is no longer STUN
bling block to expression.
John Reed SCOTS new novel, "Bea-
trix of Clare" soon to be published,
presents Richard the Third in a new
aspect-nOt a hunchback, not ugly, nor
supremacy evil, but a man of boundless
ambition INSCRIPTIONS determination
and extraordinary ability, no worse
and some better than the majority Of
kings and princes of his time. Mr..
Scott says that it has been many years
since he was first persuaded that Rich
ard the Third was a vastly different
character from that presented by the
Tudor falsifcations. A new historical
work based on documentary evidence is
to be published showing that the popu-
lar belief in the bad character of Rich
ard is a mistaken one. But as Mr..
Scott's manuscript has been in the
hands of his publisher for some time
it is claimed that he received no in
spiration from the conclusions Of the
historian.

Connor,s Double Poem.

A poem in which by reading the lines
in a certain manner meaning the re-
verse of the apparent one can be given
is preserved as the work of the Irish
rebel squire, Arthur Connor, the friend
of Lord Edward Fitzgerald. At first
sight the lines seem a conventional
Royalist tribute, but if the first line
Of the second verse be read after the
first line of the first verse, and so on,
the poem becomes a very different
thing:
The pomp of Courts, and pride of Kings,
l prize above all earthly things;
l love my country, but the King,
Above all men his praise | sing;
The Royal banners are display'd,
And may success the standard aid.
