DOWN IN THE WELL. BY. ELWOOD BURKE.
"Itell ye -what, Runnel Nehemiah Barton, big man as ye think ye'sef, we're mighty smale potatoes in my
opinion. With all yer riches, ye oaght

yer pride'll have a fall one of these days, mark my words, ef it don't, an'
it'll humble ye to the dust!" Mrs. Hannah Eldridge tossed
head with a scornfnl sniff as she stooped sneaking and resumed her
ironing.
The subject of her tirade, Colonel
Nehemiah Barton he was the com'
mender of a regiment of militia dropped the paper he 'was reading with 'a gasp-of astonishment, and stared over
his spectacles at his housekeeper and maid-of-all-work in speechless wonder
aft her audacity.
Finally he found speech, enunciating
his words with alow and ponderous dia-
tinctness.
"Hannah El'ridfte," he said, "bow

nah, and before the Colonel could form
ulaie a suitable reply continued: "You knew this, aa' yet ye let her go tew ther work 'us in her old age, when er littlo oat ur your plenty would ha'
helped her along toward her grave in
comfort."
"Bat. Hanner," began the Colonel,
protefltingly
"Dim't Hanner me," was the sharp
retort. "I've been here in this house
gohv' on seventeen years, aid doorin'
all thet time I never knowed ye ter do
er kind or generous deed."
Tho Colonel could stand no more,
and with a load sniff of rage he sprang
to his feet. I's no use argifyin' wither woman.
he cried savagely, and seizing his hat he jammed it down on his ears and
strode from the room.
Hannah Eldridge laughed scornfully.
and con tinned her ironing.
She had nearly finished when the kitchen door opened softly, and a girl
with the irate Colonel's features repro
duced and softened in her round face,
sparkling with life and color, stole into the roonvand slipping np behind the
unconscious Hannah pressed her little
brown bands over the woman's eyes.
"Qums?" cried tho girl, and her
merry laugh rippled out and filled the
"Ob, it's yon, torment ! said Hannah,
semoving the warm hands and drawing
the girl around in front of her. "Where
lunry ben ?" Down in the orchard."
She said this very demurely, bat her
face flushed, and she dropped her eyes.
Hannah's sharp eyes detected the
girl's illy-concealed embarrassment and
she nodiled her head knowingly.
''Elsie Barton," she said, "ye needn't try tar (receive me. What wuz je doin'
in ther orchard?" "Hunting summer harries." "Anybody help ye, eh?'
"Willie Spence happened to be going
along the road and he very kindly vol-
unteered to shake the big tree for me.
Ton know, Hannah, that I'm not strong
enough to" explained Elsie.
"i'e needn't say no more," said Han
nab, interrupting her; "I know." "Knew what, Hannah?"
"That Willie Spencer lbtes you, and that yon love hint. I spoke tew yer father 'bout it this morhin'." "Oh, Hannah J" cried the girl. "How oonhiyoa?'' "I did it for the best, pet lamb. IVe seed hit agoin' on for some time, so I sorter hinted around to him this mornin' ter see how he'd take it." "And what did he say?" interrupted the girl eagerly. "He blustered orful, an' I know he'll never consent. He's plumb sot on marryin' ye ter Squire Dave Peters, nn'" "The old miser !" cried Elsie, passionately. "I'd die before I would be his wife! Why, he's old enough to be my grandfather 1" That's what I told yer father," continued Hannah, "but he wouldn't listen to Bo reason." "Oh, dear!" moaned the girl despairingly. "What shall I do? I've a mind to do as Willie wants me to run away and marry in spite of father. After the knot is tied he can't pat us apart"
'Dont never do nuthin so foolish.
cautioned Hanna. "He'd cut ye off
without a penny, an' though Willie
Spencer er likely enuff boy, he's got
nuthin' tew start life with.
We could work together, and some
day
"That'd take too long," cried Hannah,
nententiouslv. "Your father hits er
plenty, and by rights itll all come ter
yon some day, but he's powerful stub
born when he makes np his mind tew be
an'ye'd better not anger him."
"Bat" began Elsie.
"Leave it all ter me, pet lamb. Ef
any mortal soul kin turn him from his
stubborn ways I kin do it, and ye can rest easy that Fll do the best I cun for
je."
Ob, thank you, Hannah! cried
Elsie impulsively. "Yon are always
good to me."
She threw her arms around the faith
ful woman's neck and kissed the thin
lips. t
Hannah's eyes moistened, and she
passed her hand softly over the girl's
brown curls.
I couldn't love ye better, pet lamb,
if ye was my own," she said. "I've
ben er mother tew ye, an' I'll so con-
tinner. Harry ye tew the old Squire ?
Not much they shan't!"
She returned Elsie's kiss, and then,
turninur awav. began preparations for
dinner.
The meal was finally ready, and the
table was laid. She went out on the porch and blew several loud blasts
from the big tin horn which hung from
the rafters.
This was a signal for Colonel Nehe
miah, but fifteen minutes passed and
he did not put in an appearance.
Hannah sounded a second alarm, and
stood on the porch, shading, her eyes
with her hand and looking out toward
the "far field," where the Colonel was
supposed to be.
She could not see him, and again she
raised the horn to her lips.
"I know he's thar," she said, musing
ly, "for I. seed him goin' thet-er-way. Mebbe he's fell down in er fit"
She threw her apron over her head
to shield it from the sun, and passing through the track garden at the rear of the house, bent her steps toward the
"far field."
She walked through the enclosure,
and finding no traces of the Colonel,
was about returning to the house when
-she heard a faint cry which seemed to
come from the bowels of the earth.
She bent her head and listened. The
cry was repeated
"Help!"
He's fell down the old well !" cried
Hannah, and turtfing sharply to the right, she ran toward a little clump of
trees in one corner of the field, '
In the center of this' miniature grove
was an old well which had been dug to
water stock.
It was loosely covered with boards,
but they were old and rotten, and when
Hannah drew nearer, she saw that the
covering was broken and displaced.
Hullo, Knnnel!" she cried, bending
over the welL
"Hanner !" was the Colonel's faint
answer.
Throw me er rope. Git er ladder.
Ban for help, I'm drown in'!"
"Ain't water enuff for, that Kimnei.
How did ye fall in?"
"Walkra' across -plank broke. Help
me out."
"Hez it cooled ye off eny, Knnnel?"
"Yes. Git me out. I'm near chilled
tew ther bone."
"Look here, Kunnel !" cried Hannah
and she smiled triumphantly, "I've got ye right where I've been wantin' ter git ye. Nobody knows that yer here, aa' unless ye promise ter let Elsie
marry Willie spencer an set 'em up with ther Oak Farm, ye air likely ter stay here. Ef ye'U promise I'll let ye out. If ye don't I'll kiver ther well
again, an' let ye stay thar."
The imprisoned man, up to hia neck
in water, stormed, raved, threatened.
begged, and prayed. Hannah remained
obdurate.
Finally she began to lay the broken
clanks back across the well. The
frightend Colonel begged her to desist
"Git me out Hanner!" he said, "an'
IH promise." "Promise aow!" "Yes!"
"Ye'll let Elsie and Willie Spencer
marry an' giv' 'em ther Oak Farm ?
"Yes!" "I never knowed ye ter break
promsie, Kunnel,' an' now I'll help ye

hurriedly acquainted them with the ac

deacon.
"Ye took an on fair edvantage uv me,
Hanner," he said as he clambered out,
"bnt I'll stand by my promise. Eliae,

giv' ye a deed ov ther Oak Farm ther day yer married."
"Thank you, father!" cried the de
lighted girl. "You have made me very happy !

square ; it is called the Square of the Gun. The huge piece of oidnance that gives its name to the place is vefy
like one of the cannon which stood behind the Horse Guards; Clustered
around it are a group of weary-looking
men. They are murderers; sate tor the time being from the law safe
(generally) even from tho avenger ol blood ; the place is sanctuary. Under the shadow, or withiu the touch of this gun the murderer even the traitor is safe. Let him once leave this refuge, if only for a few yards, and the criminal will fall into the hands of the law, or the Clutch ol the avenger of blood.
For in Persia the murderer has not
so much to fear the laws of his country
as the vengeance, legal or otherwise,
of his victim's relatives. Blood has a price, and that price must be paid, or the criminal must be prepared to shed
his Own. The price iB fixed at bo much
for a freed man, another price for a woman, another for a slave. Nominally, and according to tlie religious law,
even the hairs of a man's head have a price (in camels) if extracted by vio
lence. So much for a tooth, so much
for an eye, so much for each drop of
blood ; finally, so much for a life. And,
if the guilty person can not pay the
price, then his own life is at the mercy of the victim's relatives. Such is the
law. Within the last twenty years we have known the case of a Mussulman
who sent a regular account in this
form to a European:
To fifteen hairs from l ho beard of Rcloli.

ranst

(-oni or mgn priest.
But it is a point of honor with the
relatives of a murdered man not to take
money, if possible, but to exact their
right Hence arise "blood-feuds.
These are principally observed in the
south of Persia. There, where every
man is armed to the teeth, blood-feuds
are common. "I must leave you here;
sahib," exclaims your guide, quite as a
matter of course, "I have a blood-feud with the next village, and my life is
not safe beyond thin point" Letter
From Persia.

under the fond impression that he is
making me think he is a judge. There is an old story of a man who went into a store and asked for the best cigar the dealer had. He was handed a 10 cent cigar. That didn't satisfy him, he wanted a more expensive one. lie Was
shown several.ronging 15, 20, 25, and 50
cents apiece, but he always pretended
they were not good enough, although any of them was as. excellent article,' the most expensive being so only on
account of its brand and perhaps its
perfume or some little matter of the
kind. At last the store-keeper became
annoyed and wearied, so he determined to settle the matter. 'I have a cigar
here which I seldom Bell, because I
have only one box left; they are $1 a cigar and are very cheap.
'Why didn.t you bring 'em out be
fore?' said the customer. Accordingly the dealer handed him one of his 5-cent cigars, pocketed the $1 and the man went away perfectly satisfied. I don't think that it is an exaggerated case. I know that in nine cases out of ten
where people ask for a very expensive
cigar it is only because they happen to be flush of money and want to brag of
the big price they have paid for their
smoke."

The sight of the Goddess of Liberty standing there night and day, bathing her feet in the rippling sea, will be a good thing.
