CHAPTER xxx.-continued.

At dawn they were in a narrow
gorge among the hills, dark and
gloomy hole, yet q peculiarly safe spot
in which to hide, having steep, rocky
Lodges on either side, with sufficient
grass for the horses. Leaving Murphy
bound, Hampton clambereJ up the
front Of the rock to where he was
able to look out. All was Silent and
his heart sank as he surveyed the
brown sterile hills stretching to the
horizon, having merely narrow gulches
of rock and sand between, the sheer
nakedness OF the picture unrelieved
by green shrub or any living thing.
Then. almost despairing, he slid back,
stretched himself out amid the soft
grass, and sank into the slumber of ex-
haustiOn, his conscious memory the
incoherent babbling of his insane
companion
He awoke shortly after noon, feeling
refreshed and renewed in both body
and mind. Murphy was sleeping when
he first turned to look at him, but he
awoke in season to be fed, and &C.
copied the proffered food with all the
apparent delight Of a child. While he
rested, their remaining pacS-animal
had strayed, and Hampton was com

Then he carefully hoisted Murphy into
Pace and bound his feet beneath the
animals belly.
1t VAS already becoming dusk when
they swept down into a little nest of
green trees and grass. 1t appeared so
suddenly and was such an unexpected
oasis amid that surrounding wilder
ness, that Hampton gave vent to
sudden exclamation of delight But
that was all Instantly he perceived
numerous dark forms leaping from
out the shr1bbery, and he wheeled his
horses to the left, flashing them into a
rapid run 1t was all over in q mo-
ment-a suffering OF rifles, a wild
medley of cries, a glimpse of savage
figures, and the two were tearing
down tie rocks. the din of pursuit

evidently all on foot. yet Hampton con-
tinued to press his mount at swift
pace, taking turn after turn about the
sharp hills. confident that the hard
earth would leave no trace of their

CIGAR STRIKE ARISES.
New Rule Introduced at kilfeather's
 Causes Trouble.

The introduction of new rule at the cigar factory of J, P. Kilfeather. was the signal yesterday, for a strike amongst the employees, who seemed to resent the new method introduced by the proprietor into his factory.
 The trouble, it is stated, is owing to the introduction of a system of ac- counting for the amount of material given the cigar makers and the amount of cigars made therefrom, to determine the loss of material in process of manu- facture into cigars.
 The union men claim that no such accounting should be made. This new system is not used in other shops about the city, but it is understood that it will be introduced generally very soon. The union embraces members in all the cigar factories of the city, and the vote was to support the men in Kill feathers factory in their stand for the old method.
 So far no action has been taken at any of the other factories. Although several of the manufacturers think that the rule is in no way hardship on the men. and that the method is only being introduced for the purpose of finding out the loss sustained in the process of the manufacture of the ci- gars. This the proprietors aver they are entitled to do without in any way causing any hardship to their employ ees. It was stated that the method works well in many factories where it has been introduced. It is generally thought that the strike will be amica- ply settled within a very short time

MYSTERY CLEARED UP.
Body Found in Sound Identified as

Her husband who made the Identification said that his wife disappeared on Nov 15, that she had been nervous and Respondent and that she must have committed suicide
 Derby. Feb 2o--The Identification of Mrs. Brower's body at Mattituck clears up a singular disappearance Mrs. Brewer on Nov. 18th was calling upon MT. and Mrs. W. B. Brown and was expecting her husband who was coming to tea. Mrs. Brewer walked out of the room apparently to get a drink of water and was not seen again. Search was begun almost immediately as her husband came in a few minutes after Mrs. Brewer left the room. The next day the Naugatuck river near by was dragged. The supposition is that the freshet of last week carried the body down to the Sound and 1t drifted across to the Long Island shore. Mrs Brewer evidently went out the house and jumped into the river.

HENRY'S SHOE BUCKLES.
Exhibition Showing Advance Made in Shoe Ornamcntation in a Century.

An interesting illustration of the evo- lution of dress footwear from the revo- lutionary period to the present day is shown in the display in the window of the Sorosis Shoe Co. Sl4 Chapel street, of a pair of shoe buckles worn on pumps by the illustrious patriot. Pat rick Henry. Nothing could better H. lustrate the ornate decoration affected by the men of that notable time, and this fact serves, in connection with their historic association. to attract the attention of scores of shoppers who pass the store hourly.
 The buckles are of handsomely chas- ed gold. and the leather uppers on which they are mounted are exceed ingly well preserved They are set with many large brilliants, and resem- ble in shape shoe buckles worn on women's shoes at the present time
 The popular interest surrounding these buckles, coupled with the attrac- tive display of Sorosis Footwear, make the window of the Sorosis Shoe Co. well worth few moments inspection.

MANY TROUBLES EXPLAINED

A Hartford paper published some time ago d suburban dispatch which told a tragio-comic story of some far mer's sons who found in an attic some serious looking pills of etephantine pro- portions which had belonged to one of their grandfathers. The young men were pinochle friends and they pro- ceeded forthwith upon the decidedly gamey venture of pledging themselves 10 swallowing one of the pills every time they lost game One poor fell low was decidedly off his luck on the evening in question and the results of his self-imposed martyrdom were noth- ing If not terrible.

Who appeared before the doc ters,' so-termed. on the ordinance com mittee of the board of aldermen last evening in behalf of a bill to prevent the distribution of patent medicines about the city from house to house, known of the incident mentioned above, there is little reason to think that they would have neglected to make use or it in their eloquent appeals As it was, however, there was some fairly spon- tantous utterances shared in by at least two members of the university faculty, the health officer of the town, two or three doctors. and goodly delegation from the Mothers club. After the hear ing on pills the committee switched off to hearing on building laws with such a showing of versatility as only experts of great ability in the ordinance busl- ness can be hoped to possess.
 But first for the pills. Everybody has known of their harmful results for some time. thanks to the excellent work and the combined efforts of many magazines that have been short of copy of late months. But even their articles have been mild in comparison with some of the statements made last even ing in aldermanic chamber. One en- thusiasist fearlessly spoke of pills that kill instanter. Another indignantly spoke of samples of face beautfiers left at the doors, evidently imbued with the idea that the children of the city are made so beautiful by atmospheric con ditions that for them to tamper with what good looks nature has given them Is nothing short of criminal. Facts about morphine. and chloral, alcoho, and other "dopes" were juggled from tongue to tongue in truly surprising i manner.
