to sons to m oanvent and reared in ignoranoe of her father's oceopation. Wolfgang passionately loved his wife, and the promise was faithfully

carried out. The infant was taken to

France, and there was carefully nur

tured and reared m one of the most celebrated convents. She grew to maidenhood in that favored land endowed with, a glorious beauty and a gentle, loving disposition that was at the same time the wonder and admiration of her associates. At the age of IT she was taken from .the convent, and, through the influence of a friend of her father, a home was secured for her, for a time, in the family of a wealthy nobleman in her native county. She was n reputed heiress, and suitors flocked about her, attracted by her wonderful beauty, her guileless manners and her fabulous riches. At stated intervals, clothed in splended attire," Wolfgang visited his child, lavishing upon her all the love of hih barbarous nature. For his chiW nothing was too good, and he poured ont his gold in unstinted measure. And she deserved it nil. Though clothed in magnificent array and endowed by heaven with an almost unearthly loveliness of face and form, her heart was kept unspotted from the world. She succored the poor and the needy, and the fame of her goodness went through the land. The stern old robber chief, hearing the laudations lavished upon his child, grew still more proud and fond of her, and guarded from her knowledge with sedulous care the secret of his dreadful occupation. And she worshiped him. Seeing her father only at long intervals, and' encouraged by him in the dispensation of her charities, enjoying his society only when he was in his best and gentlest moods, the Lady Christobel grew to woanhood, believing him to be the best and greatest of men. She went about doing good. Emulating the example of the gentle Nazarene, she left the crowded city and went into

the brways and forgotten places.

In this manner, quite unknown to

Wolfgang, she unconsciously made her wav to St. Qnentvn's.

The hamlet then, as now, was but a

collection of rude huts the abode of

still ruder people. None knew her to

be the daughter of their terrible chief,

and she labored among them, teaching

them and .otherwise endeavoring to

alleviate the distress she saw on every

side. Wolfgang himself, with some of

his most valued followers, was away on a journey, when his daughter came to

St. Quentvn's. So there was' none to

oppose her in her work for the salra

tion of souls. It was at this time that

she caused the bell to be rung in the old monastry ; the bell whtcli, since the awful tragedy enacted there a little later, has never ceased to send out its solemn warning whenever there is to

be any severe storm upon the sea. It wai there, hijrh upon that rocky-

headland, in the very shadow of the

ruined monastery a ruin almost as (Treat then as now, that the beacon fires

were lighted by the wreckers to entice

the ships upon the sunken rocks

The Lady Christobel saw with horror what the real occupation of the people

was, by the frantic hurrying too and fro, the many anxious eyes turned seaward, and, above all, the low half-muttered words which inadvertantly escaped their lips whenever a ship's

sails showed themselves in sight.

To turn them from the wickedness of their ways, she strove with mind and soul; but it was with a sick heart that she discovered the lawless wreckers acknowledged a superior authority in

the conimancta of their ferocious chief,

a betasr to her, terrible and dread.

There came, at this time, one of those

ssdden, unaccountable . hurricanes,

which, sweeping the sea, hurl ships

and people into nothingness in the

twinkling of an eye.

She saw preparations going on on the

shore that boded no good for any ves

sel left afloat by the storm, and she do-

tennined that so far as lay in her power

she would succor the helpless. Might settled sullenly over the troubled waters. The wreckers begun to more

quickly to and fro on the beach, and,

f adder than all, there pealed out over

the sea the sound of the minute gun the signal of a ship in distress. Once, twice, "thrice, the thunderous gun cent its message upon the air. From her small retreat the Lady Christobel peered dimly over the brood, expanse of shore, and saw the glancing torches of the wreckers ss they engaged in council on the beach. "Light up the beacon fires, " roared a strangely-familiar voice, in the commanding tone of one accustomed to authority. "Light the great fire on St. Qnentyn's Point' The girl shook as if with on ague fit "It cannot cannot be," she cried with white lips. A wrecker's wife stood staring out rough the darkness, every muscle strained to its utmost tension with the excitement of the moment. "It is alone," she laughed, clasping her hands tightly together. "Look, my lady, how beautifully they are burning." Christobel shook her arm roughly. "For the love of God, wonjan," she exclaimed, in a voice of agony, go you among those wretched men, and tell them I forbid it It is murder they are trying to do.. The wrecker's wife cowered before the blazing eyes of the girl. 1 dare not" she said, "it would avail nothing, for they have higher orders than yours." "Oh, pitying heaven !" cried Christobel, "then will we go, and scatter the burning brands ourselves? Away away, there is no time to lose in idle words." "I cannot, I cannot !" Christobel threw hastily a long black wrap abont her figure, and seized a

wooden vessel, used among the humble people, for carrying water, "But I command you," she cried, "bear me, woman, the daughter of Wolfgang, must be obeyed." The woman shuddered. "But I must not go, my life would to the forfeit Do you not know, my Lady, that it is the groat Wolfgang himself, who orders the lighting of the beacon fires. To extinguish them, is to to guilty of treason." At the mention of her father's name, the girl sank, as if she had been struck to the heart. "There is but one Wolfgang, woman," she said, in a hollow voice. "It cannot be Wyndert Wolfgang iy father." The wrecker's wife bowed low before her.

"He is our chief, my Lady," she said

suoaaniy, with wua to esrik upon her knees.

But dhristobel did not heed her. She sat motionless a dumb, frozen horror seeming to chain her to her seat "My father, Wolfgang, the chief of the wreokers at St. Qnentyn's Point," she said over and over again, in a terrible monotone, more dreadful to her hearer than the wildest shrieks could have been. "My father a robber a wrecker a murderer! Oh, Thon God of my mother 1 who lettest me hear this thing and livel" "Pardon me, my Lady," sobbed the still kneeling woman, as she clutched the hem of OhristobBi's robe. "It is a terrible mistake: I did not mean to tell." The young girl shook the woman's hand from her garments. Her large blue eyes shone with an unearthly luster, and her white face gleamed like a star from the masses of yellow hair that floated unconfined about her head. "I go to the sacrifice," she breathed, in an almost inaudible tone. "Oh, mother in heaven, be thou my guide and my stay !" A minute later and. she had stepped over the threshold, and disappeared in the fast-increasing darkness. Hastily making her way to St. Qnentyn's Point, she reached that place just

m time to see the faggots ignited by one of the torchlifthts. The men orily

stopped long enough to see that it would burn, and then went on their way to execute some further order of their

chief. Wolfgang himself was now upon the beach, doling out liquor to his chosen followers, and watchini? with a prac

ticed eye theylong, lance-like tongues of flame that rlow began to leap up in the

darkness of the night.

"Pile on more fnel, my men," he

cried, as another roar from the ship's gun came rolling over the water. "Pile up those faggots higher. Oh, but it is a brave light those sailors shall have to go to bed by!" he shouted, as the streaming fires soon threw in plain relief the strange fantastio shadows of the

wreckers on the shore.

He threw a glance in the direction of

the old monastery. Again he roared;

this time m anger: "Light the great fire on St. Quen tyn's Point!"

"It was done, my chief," said a voice

at his side. I myself lit the faggots with my torch." "Then, by my beard!" cried Wolfgang, haughtily, "it was not well done. There is not the ghost of a spark there, as you can see for yourself." "Strange!" muttered his lieutenant, hurrying away. "I never saw a better prospect for a fire than when I was there, a few minutes ago." v Taking a comrade, he hurried to the voint. What was his surprise to find the embers extinguished, and the faggots carefully scattered, far and wide. Hastily rearranging them, he again ignited the dry wood, and watching it until it burned up clear and bright, he returned and reported the circumstance to his chief. Wolfgang listened with a lowering brow. While they were still watching the flames that had now begun to start rip from St Quintyn's Point, they were both astonished to see them go out. Wolfgang swore a terrible oath, as he beheld the extinguishment of the most prominent beacon fire. 4 "Ho, there!" he shouted, hoarsely; "a traitor tampers with the signal lights. Go, you, my faithful men, and mete him out the doom he has courted and which he richly deserves." At different points the fires were as suddenly and mysteriously quenched. Wolfgang strode along the beach, exciting the wreckers to immediate action. Four of his most trusty followers were secretly to Bteal up to St. Qnentyn's Point, and after replenishing the fire, was to retire cautiously into the thickets, and upon the 'first motion of the unknown enemy to destroy the flames, they were to rush upon him and kill him with their cut1 lasses. Foaming with rage and vexation the chief paced the sands, waiting for the cry which he knew would herald the success of his lieutenant in carrying out the scheme. He had not long to wait They had purposely used a large bundle of pine

knots the third time, and a blazing pile

soon threw its hery tongues far up in

the inky sky, lighting the old nion-

ostery with a weired enect. Betii-incr into the dense shadows, they

watched ior their prey. Soon a slim, dark figure, with a large wooden vessel in its hands, approached, and, throwing the contents of the same quickly on the blazing mass, proceeded to scatter the smoking brards.

Then there was a rush, a single.

awful shriek, and the cry of "Oh, my father 1" pealed out on tho night air, high above the roar of the sea and the sound of the breakers beating on the shore.

The wretched father recognized that

terribie death-cry.

In the traitor slain by the waninc firo

he found his child, the Lady Christobel. Limp, ' motionless and white, she lay

upon the wet earth, the blood oozing

irom a gaping wound m the neck in

streams that oongealca beside her.

"My child, my child I" groaned Wolf

While he stood lavishing his insane

caresses upon tho dead face of his

daughter, the great bell at St Qnen

tyn's commenced to toll. As its meas

ured stroke fell slowly and mournfully on his ear, it seemed to him that it was

ho accusing voice of lus murdered

daughter.

With a mod cry, he smote hio breast

with his hands.

"Let mo die," he said, in a voice so

hoarse and o'aoked that his followers did not recoguizeit.

I have killed an angel; let me die!"

and, with a terrible, bound, he leaped from the headland into the sea.

Through all that night, and for days

and nights to come, St. Quentyn's boll tolled slowly, sadly solemnly tolled

the funeral knell of the fair yonng

Christobel The wreckers, listening

to its awful sound, grew Aapertitsous and afraid, and gradually abandoned their hamlet, seeking other haunts, and it was only when wrecking, as a business, was given up, that the boll coased tolling continuously. But, regularly, on the approach of a great storm, it still sends out its warning voice.

Though covered with rust, and with

no opportunity for lawless hands to .Mfti $fpiir-ra were persons

still tolls, as in the days when I heard the tale for tho first time from the lips of my grand sire. A long silence followed the conclusion of the old coast-guard's story. Tho sea still thundered its mighty voice in my ears, and the wind tore madly around the dilapidated town, making its time-worn walls tremble in the blast It seemed as if I again beheld the rusty, weather-worn bell swinging slowly to and fro in the ruined tower at St. Qnentyn's, sending out its boIenih, unearthly protest to the winds the wavea and the storms. Chicago Ledger. The Death of Itebiu Hood. All accounts affirm that Robin Hood lived to a very old age, and at last died by treachery. He hod a cousin, who was the pioresa of a nunnery called Kirklees, and when he was aged and infirm, and suffering from an attack of disease, he went to her to be bled. Bobin was very sick when ho reached the gate of the nunnery, where ho was met by his cousin. Little thinking of treachery, he suffered her to conduct him to a room and open a vein in Ids arm. There he was left bleeding. The door of the room wai locked, and the window was too high above ground to admit of jumping out He remained in this state until the next day at noon, when he thought to blow a blast on his horn. It was a quavering and feeble sound. Little John whs lingering about, waiting to see his beloved master. When he heard the mornful blast he sprang up and hurried to the nunnery. He broke locks and dashed open doors until he reached the room where Kobin lay dying. He fell on his knees and begged to be allowed to burn Kirklees Hall and all the nunnery; but Bobin said : "No, I never hurt a woman in my Kfo, nor a man in company with a woman, and I will not allow such a thing to be done now. But string my bow for me, and give mo it aud a brood arrow, which I will shoot from the window, and where that arrow falls there let my grave be dug. Lay a green sod under my head and another at my feet; and lay my bent bow by my side, for it has always made sweet music for me." This request was complied with by Little John. The arrow that Bobin shot fell under a tree, and there the bold chief wai buried. His death was probably near .the year 1300. Some worthy historians have doubted whether such a man as Robin Hood ever lived, and have classed the stories of his exploits among the myths of the past. It is hardly probable, however, that this is the correct theory. The safer and more reasonable conclusion would seem to be that Robin Hood really reigned in the forests as represented, but that many of the stories about him have been exaggerated by the ballad singers and early writers iu England. Maurice Thompson, in St Alch olas. Tho King of Asps. A new snake, called the eohis carinata, which is the first specimen ol its race seen in England, and of which we have no specimen here, is attracting crowds to the Begont's Pork, London. It is about a foot and a half long, and the color is dingy gray. It is the deadliest of created things, for it carries in its tiny head the secret of destroying life with the sudden rapidity of light

ning and the concentrated agony of all poisons. This king of the asps is more dangerous than the cobra or the korait, for it does not turn and run like the one, or flash into concealment like the other, bnt with fearless pluck gives fight, and pitches its eighteen inches of length against any comer. A stroke of a stick will break it in two, jir a stone will smash it, but such is its venomous malignity that it will challenge attack by every device in its power, Btaking its own life on the mere chance of its adversary coming within the little circle of its reach. The radius of that circle is twelve inches, but within it at any point lies certain death, and in the bare hope of hand or foot trespassing within its reach the echis throws ite body into a figure-of-eight coil, and, attracting attention by rubbing its loops together, which, from the roughness of the scales (hence the epithet carinata), makes a rustling sound, erects ito head in the center and awaits attack. No one having once encountered this terrible little creature can ever forget its truculent aspect when aroused; its eagerly aggressive air; its restless coils,

which, in constant motion one over another and rustling ominously all the

time, bring it nearer and nearer to the

object of its fury; its eye, melignont

even beyond those of other vipers, and

then the inconceivable rapidity of its steoke. Tho echis does not wait to

strike until it is within striking distance, but vents its malice in repeatedly darting at nothing, hoping to aggravate its antagonist into coming to closer quarters, or more probably as a mere expression of its own incontrollablo vieiousness.

Tho right to issue money and control the yolnme thereof belongs to the people, therefore we demand the abolition of all banks of issue and the substitution of legal tender currency in lien ot bank currency, the volume to be strictly regulated by Consresa. 2. We favor the unrestricted coinage of gold and silver. 3. We are opposed to all refunding of the interest-bearing national debt which places it beyond the power of the- Government to liar at will, and we demand that said debt be pall as rapidly as possible. i. We demand a graduated income tax whereby capital Bhall bear its just share ot the ptiblic burden. 6. All men have a natural right to a portion of the soil, and, as the use of the soil is indispensable to life, the right of all men to the soil is sajred as life itself; all pubiio land granted to corporations and forfeited by reason ot nonperformance of the conditions of said grants should be immediately reclaimed by the Government, and all public lands should by held for homes by actual settlers. a. The Patent law should bo so amended lis to protect in ventors, give the people the ben eats to be derived, and prevent the formation of monopolies which rob the inventor and the people. 7. We favor civil-service reform, and to that end hold tbat all public officials, as far as practicable, including tho President and Vice President, sha' J be elected by a direct vote of thet people. 8. We favor a low tariff and a revision of the present turiff laws, to be adjusted in the interest of labor and not in the interest ot monopolies. 9. We demand the abolition of the Railroad Commisstcn and tho passage of laws regulating railroad and telegraph charges npon an equitable basis and the establishment ot a postal telegraph system. 10. For the purpose of protecting tho people from liitr&Hsitiir and tedious liiifratlon in courts

The manufacture and sale of Intoxicating liquors as a beverage should be prohibited, and tho will of the peoplo as expressed at the nonpartisan election of June 37, 1882, be respected and carried out, and we arraign the present executive of the State for permitting the will of the people to be overthrown. 15. The claims of the bondholders have been regarded by the party in power as more sacred than the claims of the soldiers of the Union. We declare such distinctions to be humiliating and wrong, and we demand tbat Congress shall Immediately pass such laws as will place the soldiers upon an equal footing with the bondholders. We also favor the passage of a law by tho State Legislature ex mpting pension money and the homesteads purchased therewith from execution and attachment 16. We point to the acts of our last Congress in renewing national-bank charters, in reducing bank taxes $12,000,000 per annum, and to their failure to reclaim forfeited land grants: also, to the escape of the star-route thieves, some of whom confessed their guilt, and to the development of fraud in the Treasury Department, as exposed by tho Hon. F. H. Uurob. as evidence of the unprecedented corruption of the party in power, and to show tbat pubiio moneys and pubiio interests cannot longer safely be intrusted to their hands. The Hon. J. B.

Tho Republicans of Pennsylvania most heartily Indorse the wle and conservative administration of President Arthur, and bilievo his adiiUnistrntivc policy has, under the circumstances, done much to secure tho pres ut happy and prosperous condition of tho country, and thus w,. recognize in him a faithful and worthy supporter ot our lamented martyr. President James A. GarAeld. . Wehenrlily approve of the provision made by the Republicans In Congress for giving tho patriot soldiers of the lato war a preference according to qualifications for positions uuder the Government. Soldiers and sailors, their widows and orphans have a first claim on the care, protection and gratitude of tho American people. 7.

That tne Bepubllcan party is unequivocally committed to the economical administration of the affairs of the commonwealth, the abolition of all taxes not required for the necessities of the State Government; that all laws t prevent fraud and waste should be rigidly enforced and faithful care given to the multifarious interests intrusted to the State Department of the Government. 10. That the Republican party of Pennsylvania hereby pledges itself to secure the passage of such legislat 1m as will tend to a reform of the government of the State and its municipalities, and more particularly pledges itself to provide for cities such reform charters as will correct existing abuses and promote good and economical government. it. That the Democratic party in the Legislature of Pennsylvania is responsible for retarding the legitimate and necessary business of the Legislature, causing the tailing of an extra session at an expense of more than $200,000, and preventing a fair and just apportionment of the State and Congressional, Legislative and Judicial districts, and we hereby heartily commend the action of the Republican Senate on these measures. WHEnKAS, It is the sense of the convention that the freest and fullest expression of Republican sentiment should be encourged and sought in primary meetings, wbloh are the fountain of party action and source of popular rule, and that this object be promoted by holding primaries for the election of delegates to the convention throughout the State as far as practicable, on some convenient day not remote from the convention; therefore, Jiesolved, That the State Committee be Instructed to inquire Into the expediency of fixing a uniform day throughout the State for holding primaries for the election of delegates to State conventions.

Over 000 reports have been received by the Commissioner of the General Land Office from thirty special agents engaged to the investigation of fraudulent land entries up to July 1. In many of these cases supplemental reports have been called for, covering points which are not sufficiently speoinc to warrant official action. About 25J reports have shown sufficient evidence of fraud to lustily the Land Office In sumioarily canoeling the entries. The records show without exception that the fraudulent entries, whether homestead or pre-emption, cover the full area of laud allowed by law .namely, 160 acres. The land already restored to the public domain upon the reports of these agents aggregates about i,0 Q acres. A great deal is located in rich valleys, and is held by the Government at double the minimum urice 2.50
