He smiled and nodded ~excitedly. He understood now.
Next, being unarned, she felt the need Of some sort Of
weapon. So she drew the shape Of a rife In the dust,
then produced four rupees, all she had. The shepherd
gurgled delightedly, ran into the hut, and returned with a
rife of modern make and a belt Of cartridges. with q
gesture he signifei that II was useless to him because be

wondering how it came into the possession OF this poverty

Ward Retracts CHARGES.

Ernest Watts, counsel for the Home
for Destitute Colored Children, Philadel-
phia, was informed by Vice Chancellor
Backes, in the Court of Chancery, We'd
nesday, that if he would allow the mem
bers of the board of managers of the in
stitution to arrive at an understanding
with Mrs. Rosha Thompson, of Penber-
ton, there would be no use for the court
or lawyers to;regain possession of Mary
Frances Scott, the 17-year-old colored
girl. Is
Miss Scott was bound out by the home
to the Thompson family, with the un-
derstanding that she would be properly
cared for and sent to school. Becoming
angry at one time, she notified the
managers that she was not allowed to
pursue her studies, but she later retract-
ed the assertion, and said the treatment
of the Thompsons was all right and that
she wanted to live with them. Habeas
corpus proceedings, however, were in
stituted by the managers of the home to
regain the custody of the girl.

KuSer'S Home Burned.

The beautiful residence of John l..
kuser, on the road from Bordentown to
was destroyed by fire early
on Thursday morning. The loss, in
Guiding costly furniture, rugs, a collec-
ton of rare antiques and a ZOO pipe
organ, is estimated at 100000.
The fire started at about two O'Clock in
the morning and is supposed to have
been caused by crossed electric wires.
Mrs. Kuser, who has been in ill health
had to be carried from the house to a
nearby farmhouse occupied IA lodge at
the entrance to the estate. The Their
mometer at the time was close to the
zero mark, making the removal of Mrs.
kuser particularly hazardous.
The flames were first discovered by
Mr.. kuser, who Immediately aroused
the household, including Mrs. Kuser,
their seven-year-old son Walter, and five
servants. The fire spread so rapidly that
the occupants of the house had scarcely
reached places of safety before the whole
building was in flames.
The insurance carried by Mr.. Kuser
was SS5, 900, SO that his actual loss, apart
from the destruction of antiques which
are irreparable, will be at least 500, 900.
The ground surrounding the Kuser
home, which is known as Fern Brook,
has made the estate famous for miles
around. In the evergreen covers hun
dreds of game and song birds make
their home. In the warmth of the thick
shelter thus afforded many of the birds
remain all winter instead of migrating
southwark. Elsewhere in the estate
where the brook widens into a large
pond, are flock of wild geese and wild
/ ducks.
The only thing of any value saved
was painting of Hubert, the little sor
of Mr.. and Mrs. Kuser, who died 8
couple of years ago. This painting, the
work of Stanley Todd, of New York
was the most highly priced in their col
lection. The Kusers had been gather
ing art works for score of years. Theil
collection embraced many fine relics O
| the Joseph Bonaparte estate at Borden
town. Not even the personal jewelry o
Mrs. kuSer was saved.
| The Kusers and their servants hurried
to the home of Mrs. Kuser's brother
William A. Dunn, who lives nearby.
The Citizens chemical engine from
BordentowF responded to the alarm, bu
the house was in ashes when it arrives
there.
