Ia The legend Of the Cherokee rose is
thus told by a writer in the Hartford
Post: A young Indian chief Of the
Seminole tribe was taken prisoner by
his enemies, the Cherokees, and DOOM
ed to torture, but fell so seriously Ill
that 1t became necessary to walt for
his restoration to health before COM
mitting him to the fire. AS he lay
prostrated by disease in the cabin Of
the Cherokee warrior, the daughter Of
the latter, young, dark-faced maid.
was his nurse. She fell in love with
the young chieftain, and, wishing to
save his life, urged him to escape. But
he would not do so unless she would
flee with him. She consented. Before
they had gone far, impelled by regret
at leaving home, she asked permission
Of her lover to return for the purpose
of bearing away some memento Of 1t.
So retracing her footsteps, she broke
a sprig from the white rose which
climbed up the poles of her fathers
tent, and, preserving 1t during her
flight through the wilderness, planted
1t by the door Of her new home in the
land Of the Seminoles. And from that
day this beautiful flower has always
been known throughout the southern
states by the name Of the Cherokee
rose

HUNTING WILD CATTLE.
North Carolina Herd That Became
Troublesome Had to be Killed.

Troublesome F1ad 10 Do NiilSos
For several days hunt for wild cat
tie has been in progress within ten
miles of Fayetteville. A number of
years ago Major j. B. Broadfoot turn
ed several COWS loose on a stretch of
land he owned between Carvey's creek
and Cross creek, says the Fayetteville
Observer.
There they have been ever since, null
tiplying and growing wilder with each
generation, until now the herd num-
bers fully a hundred. all wild as re.
bras. These animals ranged for dis
tance of seven miles between two
creeks and along their banks 10 or IL
miles.
Finding it almost impossible to catch
any of them, and hearing that certain
parties were hunting them with rifles,
Major Broadfoot decided to take a
hand in the matter himself, and en-
listed the services of ]. A. Radcliffe, a
crack rifle shot. So for the last sew
eral days, accompanied by a pilot, a
man in the neighborhood, who knows
the wild cattle and their range, Mr..
Ratcliffe has been having real sport.
So far he has been able to get with
in rifle range Of six Of the animals, and
he has brought them all to the ground.
One Of them, a great bull, after being
shot twice, made dash for Mr.. Rat
cliffe, and 1t took three more bullets
in the head before the animal drop
ped at the hunters feet. The pilot,
Sam Elliott, estimates the number of
these wild animals at 100. having him.

A Wise Indiana Hen.-A hen will
not hatch an egg laid by a hawk, ac-
cording to Chris Summit of Stines-
vile, this county, says a Bloomington
Ind, dispatch to the New York World
He tried the experiment, he said, and
failed.
One day recently, Mr.. Summit was
out shooting crows on his farm, and
while returning home saw hawk sit
ting on her nest. He shot it, and al
so dislodged the nest, with an egg ir
it almost ready to hatch.
Mrs. Summit placed the egg under
"A sitting hen. In short time she
heard the hen shouting notes Of warn
ing to her brood. and at the same time
pecking at something in the nest
On investigation Mrs. Summit found
the hawks egg pecked into mincemeat
Mr.. Summit concluded that the hens
instinct warned her not to nurse birG
that might prey upon her brood.

more telling crash with his heavy boot.
AS he did so, the small table came
sailing through the air, striking him
fairly In the face! And being but pre-
cariously balanced on one foot, he went
down with a crash that shook the
whole building.
The Cyclone scrambled to his feet
in a half -dazed way, to find himself
looking down the muzzle Of pistol
held in a hand which was firm as a
rock
Now you make tracks out Of this
camp just as lively as you know how,
or you're going to get into serious
trouble" said the little man In a tone
which sounded as though he meant
exactly what he said.
"Hurrah for Buckskin Sam!" shout
ed the bystanders' in lusty chorus.
And at the sound Of the magic name,
the Cyclone from Salt River turned
pale and dashed out through the door
way as IL Satan himself was in hot
pursuit.-Clyde Scott Chase, in Los
Angeles Times.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Old Mans Side Of it.

Mrs. Fairburn and the Captain
came into the room. The Governor
saluted them graciously. The visit
was, of course, a surprise. They were
neighbors, in the sense Of living near
but they were far apart socially. In
a moment the Governor had forgotten
the existence of the dashing creature
upstairs in the library The Yankee
who has done wrong may never re-
form, but he is ever on the lookout
for an opportunity to do so. 1t Is hard
wholly to corrupt the blood Of the Pill
grim Fathers. 1t may sometimes be
harsh but never entirely dishonest
So the woman upstairs was ignored
which was surely honest, and the Car
petbagger smiled upon the widow. He
was not without a sense of poetry and
he fancied that she brought with he1
the fragrance of the perfumed dews
dripping from the blossoms.
Good evening, Mrs. Fairburn and
Captain" was the way he welcom-
ed them-not much in words, but his
eyes showed a warmer greeting. "Si'
down, won't you?"
Il thank you," said Mrs. Fairburn
"but my mission is one Of exceeding
sadness"
She sank into a chair. The Gov
ernor knew what she meant; but ne
bowed and said interrogatively: "Ah?
"Of course you know" she began
that this afternoon old Mr.. Rey-
nolds-"
Yes, I know" the Governor broke
in. Il know-bad, bad. l hope yor
don't think l had anything to do with
it." He gave her a searching look
wondering if she did. But she pu,
him at ease when frankly she added:
"Oh, surely not, Governor"
Thank you," he remarked with g
sigh. Il have already waived all law
in the matter. and I'm going straight
to the bottom of it myself"
II am glad to hear that. Mr.. Rey-
nolds, you know, is one of the oldest
and most highly respected"
Yes, l know" he broke in, "and
give you my word that he shall have
full justice-law or no law"
The Captain" had sat down stiffiy
on straight back chair, looking
straight before him as a military mar
should. He paid no attention to the
conversation of these civilians. The
arrest Of an old man could not inter.
est him, unless it involved a court.
martial.
Governor" said Mrs. Fairburr
there is something higher than the
mere forms of law. Above all law
stands the sublime figure-Justice."
But like her twin sister, Truth, sht
| is sometimes obscured by the darl
fogs of ignorance and malice" th'
Governor replied, and the widow gave
him look in which there was no sec
tional prejudice-the look of a woman
whose admiration was rising.
At this point the boy spoke up
Governor, has my commission go
here YETI" He did not look around.
| "Ah, your commission-from Wash
ington. No, not quite" And thel
speaking to Mrs Fairburn the Gov
ernor added: II have sent for OLE
Mr.. Reynolds, and have ordered hin
brought here. / want to hear his sid'
of the story"
II am so glad, Governor. And what
ever he tells you. you may rely upoi
as the whole truth"
| Nellie jumped in at the door, slam
med it after her. and then, opening /
wide enough to peep through, criet
out: Go back. don't you come IL

Is significant, because for the first
time he saw slavery on a large scale.
1.-TWO things were remarkable to me
in this journey; first in regard to my
entertainment. When l ate, drank and
lodged free of cost with people who
lived in ease on the hard labor Of their
slaves l felt uneasy; and as my mind
was inward to the Lord found this
uneasiness return upon me at times
through the whole visit. Where the
masters bore a good share Of the bur-
den and lived frugally so that their
servants were well provided for and
their labor moderate 1 felt more easy,
but where they lived in a more costly
way and laid heavy burdens on their
slaves my exercise was often great
and I frequently had conversation In
private concerning 1t. Secondly, this
trade Of importing slaves from their
native country being much encouraged
amongst them and the white people
and their children so generally living
without much labor was frequently the
subject of my serious thoughts. saw
in these southern provinces so many
vices and corruptions increased by this
trade and this way Of life that 1t ap-
peared to me as a dark gloominess
hanging over the land, and though now
many willingly run into it yet in future
posterity. I express 1t as 1t hath ap-
peared to me, not once or twice but as
matter fixed on my mind" On his
return from this journey he wrote
down his observations on slavery and
published them in a pamphlet which
