"Why,- Simon," he said in . astonishment, "there fa) : nothing here but a blanket" "Thar hainif Well, Td ewar thar was a man ia it when it went deown." "Jack," said the young officer as torches were brought to the spot, "there are spies inourwoks." . . CHAFTKH IX. "1BES A TBarroar There was a moment's silence, broken at last by Simon. "By Jerusalem, ef that dosa't beat the Dateht" he ejaculated. "Whar ia the

nation has the critter gone off to, I'd like to know?" "That is what we would, all like to know, Simon," said the young commander. "Are you right sure you were not dreaming, and fired at a creature of your imagination?" "Dream in' Jerusalem; d'ye oall this a dream?" and Simon sailed the blanket aad held it before the face of the young Captain, ''mo, Simon, there ean be bo question of that being a reality," he answered. "Well, Csp'n, ef that's a reality, so wan the man that wore it." The blanket was examined and found to be a common gray blanket such as many of the American soldiers used in their camp. There was a hole in one corner, testifying that Simon's rifle had not entirely missed the mark. "Does anyone recognize this blanket?" asked our hero, holding it up in the light ofthetoreb. "Yah, meeatur, it vas mine," said a German, ooming forward and laying his hand on it. "It was?" asked the Captain, Then bow came it hare?" "Me oannotdell, Meestur Capdain. Me vas slsaping mit mine planket over top of mineseif, and aomepody coomes along voneetome nad shtaals it avay, nnd I vakas up all oold."

Griff, ef you'd study a Uttle on the matter ye'doome to the oonolugion that I'm not so far off in this matter as vou sre " "Wy did they fight the English with such determination?

He has lived out here ten miles away for years, I've shod horses for him all that time ' At this moment the discharge of a mus ket at the extreme north end of the fort attracted the attention of Cantain Alton and Hatohet. They ran to the spot and found the sentry to oe a green boy, who, half frightened out of his wits, stood on the parapet, an empty gun in his hand. "Did you fire that shot? the Captain asKea."Yes, xnx," was the answer. "At whom did you Are?" "Dinged ef I know," the frightened boy answered, trembling with unoont roll able fear. "I was jest a walUn' on my beat an i sees some un come out xrom the ground- " Unt from the ground? What do yon mean?' "I mean I saw some 'on seem to jest rise up out o' the ground down thar whar you are, toe stupta xeiiow repueu. i halted 'em, bnt they wouldn't answer, an' I biased away." "Did you hit?" "Dun know." "What became of the man at whom yon nreo?" "Dun know; saw some'un runnin' up the hill toward town." "Griff," said Hntohett nudging the Cantain with his elbow, "I'll jest bet ye a gill o' buttermilk agin two pickled jaybirds that it war them." Griffith paid no attention to the black smith, but asked the boy if he waa not asleep and dreamed tnatnesaw some one. "No, mr; I saw 'un," the boy stupidly declared, "I'd swear I saw 'un, "How many did you see?" "Two." "I told ye so, Griff," put in Hatchet. "What-direction did they go?" "Up toward town thst way, t'ae boy answered, pointing toward the Tillage. "I'll have the guard doubled here, said the commander, as they turned away. " Griff, le's go up to. that house." "Whioh?" - 'The one the boy pointed out. It's the very same house that deserter o' the Xenophon stays in. I believe he's into this." "Jack, yoa seem very persistent, especially since we've had such abundant proof of the honesty of both these men." "Well, Griff, I tell ye h's not nil right, an' ye'll see it," said the blacksmith. "I must go to headquarters first," said the commander, "and then I . will go with "Griff, I'U go right on there now and wait for you. I tell ye, Griff, we're on a hot trail, and 'twon't do to let the thing cool off in the least," ssid the blacksmith, hhi eyes shining with excitement in the unoaitain light of the torches, "I agree with you, yet I must go to headquarters and issne new orders at once. Perhaps a more experienced oommander would huve remained at headquarters during such stirring events, but Griffith's military experience did not extend back over a few months. He fourid Simon at headquarters. "Cap'n," said the Yankee in a whisper, "I believe it's them fellers who deserted the British man o' war what's do in' this." "Never mind now, Simon," the vexed officer answered, hastening to his desk. "Why does everybody seem to suspicion these men?" Despite all his pjsin common-sense reason the young commander found a vagus suspicion taking possession of himself. We oan not always control Our suspicions, much as we may desire to do so. His work finished, he left the house and hastened to where Jack Hatchet was waiting for him. Several of the most prominent of the villagers were grouped together not far from the house in whioh the two deserters were. "Look here. Griff, d'ye.see this?" asked Jack Hatohet, handing Captain Alton a long, sharp-pointed iron instrument. That's a rat-tail file, the best thing on earth to spike a gun." j "Where did yon get it?" asked the Captain, his face growing very pale. "Henry Small was standing here jist after that boy shot at the spy, and he saw that ar' mysterious gunner hurry up from a dark corntir an' slip in his house. Jest as he wenttbronsh the door this rat-tail file fell out of bis pocket, and Heniy picked it up." - "After ail, is he a traitor?" the pnnled Captain asked himself. CHAPTER X. sos Lovnjts a DAkr nun, "Griff," said Hatohet, in a Toice scarce above a whisper, and that trembled with excitement, "I tell ye we don't dar' put this off a minit longer. Let's go right in thar, bring 'em out 'n hang 'em. "No, no, Jack; yon are too violent." "Violent! Griff; thunder! don't they hang spies?" asked the blacksmith. "Yes; hat not antil they are thoroughly convinced they are spies. "My all,' Griff ain't ye thoroughly convinoed?" asked Jack, in astonishment. "I'd like to know bow much more ye want to convince ye that they are spies?" "They may be able to explain these mysteries, Jaok I don't think it prudent to deal summarily with men on mere suspicion." "Then, fur the Lord sake, what ye goin' to do? Jest let 'em take ns in an' cut our throats, an' not make a move to prevent em? , "No. It may be a good idea to question them on this matter, and if we find that they cannot make satisfactory answers to onr questions, put them under arrest." "Better pnt 'em under the ground, Griff. 'Twon't take no one to gnard 'em there," Fox a' moment the young commander was' silent, and then be laid hjshsnd on Jnok's shoulder and said: ''Did yon ever hear the story of the man who had a goose that laid a golden egg every day, Jack, and he killed the goose to get ail the eggs at once and found none? We mightao thit ourselves. If we should kill this mysterious gunner we know that the Xenopnon could blow us out of existenoe. Lot's put him under arrant and mke him sight the gun for ns. He has exhibited his skill, and if he refuses to strike the ship with solid shot or shell then it will be time enough to string him ap for non-performance of duty, or being a traitor or spy." The blacksmith and his companions assented, and with a guard armad with muskets, the Captain went to the door. He oould hear the two deserters talking In a low tone. He waited a moment faying to catch the drift of their conversation, but was unable to distinguish a single word they said. At last he rapped lightly. Evidently the men were very busily engaged for they did not hear him, and continued' their low, inaudible conversation, speaking bnt little above whispers. He rapped again, louder than before. The voices became silent and there was a confused rustling sound as if they were alarmed or annoyed at the interference. The Captain rapped still loader and after a moment's hushed whispering, footsteps were heard approaching the door. The door was opened by thefmysterious gunner himself, and his face betrayed evident confusion when he discovered the commander of the post confronting ' him with half a dozen armed men. "Oome in, Captain Alton," said the deserter, after a short but awkward silence. The Captain and two men stepped inside the house. "What do you want. Captain? I suppose you want to see ns?" "Yes, Hr, Burnett, I want to know what this is," and the young commander held np the file. The deserter of the Xenophon took it in his hand, and, after a glance at it, answered: It's a rat-tail Me." " Where did t com from?"

The deucrter was confused for a moment, and than answered: "I cui't tell, I am sure, shipmate." "WU, Hr. Burnett, I want to know how you oame with it?" By'lihis time Henry Dawes came for ward and stood by his comrade's side, and their faces expressed blank amazement, if not confusion. "Captain Alton, I must confess I'm oB my be win's; ean't ye give us the soundins? What d'ye moan?" "I mean I want to know how yoa oame to have Ibis rat-tail file in your possession?" "I never had it in my possession, Cap'n," "This man," pointing to Henry Small, the carpenter, "saw the file fall from your pookot." The deserter was, beyond doubt, greatly confuted, and, after a moment's hesitation, lie st ammered: "I If g gness, shipmate, ho was mistaken, I hope I may never reef another sail, Cap'it, ef I ever had that rat-tail tile in my hands." "But I tisw ye drap it," pnt in the carpenter. "Where?" " Je t as ye come in here the last time. " He waB too muoh confused and annoyed lo make any response. It was really needless to ask him If he had been out, for by his acta he admited ho hat. Henry Dawes exchanged glances with Burnett, .tnd it was easy for one to imag'ne that they taw f ;nilt expressed on their countenances. After a few moments of awkward silence, Burnett, who was the first x reoaver his self-possession, said: "I don't clearly see the lay o' the land, Oap'n, bnt if I do, it seems to me that yoa have oome to think somethin' jil o' ns." "Spies l ave been ruported in camp," "Aha! "four snsnicions urn arnncad

too, are thay, Capn? I was jest going to warn you.' . "I thank Tourwtrr saidTSanTain Alton. soolly, "but it seems from what I am able to gather lhat they wore detected trying lo spike the guns. They have been traced from tne guns to your door Where yon yourself were seen to drop the rattail file, the very thing above all others with which one might be expected to try to spike a gun. Dawes could be iss rained no longer. and pulling his'f orelook respectfully, ho said: "Be(;yer pardon, Cap'n, bnt d'ye think "I do not know, bnt for the present you will have to consent to being prisoners." "Tar an' 'onnds, Cap'n,"" ejaculated Dawes. " Ef ye've come to regard us as suspioiouH crafts jest take off yer embargo, an' we 11 weigh anchor and quit port." "I can't consent to that There is some suspicion Against you, and yon mast consent to be prisoners for a time at least." Dawos lost his temper at what hs re-garde-s bad faith on the part of his countrymen, and at the same time a lack of gratitude in requiting their service wnn imprisonment, am tne mistertons gunner was cooler, and by a few words of advise got his companion quieted. Can tain Alton disarmed the de83rters. left them under a strong guard, and then detailed fifty men to watch for the spies ontsidi). The remainder of the night passed in quiet The next day proved to be foggy, and disagreeable. No object could lie seen any distance away, aad it was impossible to see one-fourth the distance out of the bay. Of oourse tho man-of-war was not visible. The day passed drearily enough. Not a shot was fired from ship or shore, and one could half believe that the enemy had raised the siege and retired. I TO BE CONTINUED..! The Health. Eating onions and liorseradisli is claimed to relieve dropsical swellings. A teaspoonfal of wheat oharooal, taken immodiately after a meal, is an excellent non-medicinal remedy for heart-burn. One of the greatest causes of cholera infantum is technically known as "tyrotoxicon," which is a poison found in stale milk. Mothers should remember this. If people must eat fried food, thev should use vegetable oil in its preparation, and, were salt more often substituted for batter, dyspepsia, would be far less common. Ladies with delicate oomploxions and skins whioh barn easily in the hot ean, should wear red veils. Blue voils, which are usually worn, afford but.little protection. A mixture of toe and salt in propor tion of one to one-half, applied to the head frequently, gives instant relief in some eases cf acute headache. It should be tied up in a small linen cloth, lite a pad, and held as near as possible to.tbe seat of the pain. To removo foreign bodies from the throat, snob, as pieces of meat, etc., it has been found that a simple mode of relief is to blow forcibly into tho far. This excites powerful reflex action, during which the foreign body is oxpolled from the trachea. The best time to bathe is just before going to bed, as any danger of tkus catching coll is avoided, and the complexion is improved by keeping warm for several hours after leaving the bath. A co uple of pounds of bran pat into a thin bag and then in the bathtub is excellent for softening the skin. It should be left to soak in a small quantity of ''rater several hoars before being used. ! (Innltary Hints. Dry f urn we heat productive ' of throat and lung diseases, may be moistened by hanging a wet towel1 in front of the register, the lower edgs of the towel bnng allowed to dip' irJ a shallow vestiel of water. An excellent liniment for all kinds of sores, sprains, etc., is made thus: Tase one quart of spirits of wine, two ounces of laudanum, and one ounce each of oil of amber, pennyroyal, and spirits of hartshorn. Mix all together in a glass bottle. To purify greasy sinks and pipes, pour down a pailful of boiling ' water in which three or four pounds of washing soda have been dissolved. A good disinfectant is prepared in the same way using copperas. Copperas is a poison, and cannot be left about. For a very nice pomade for the hands, scrape off equal quantities of spermaceti and pure beeswax, cover with sweet oil anil simmer until it becomes liquid in a small china pot, cap or jar; add a few drops of rose water and mix it with the other ingredients, en well blended, take it from the fire and let it set firm in the oup in which it has been melted. Bub this well into your hands on retiring, and wear a pair of soft kid gloves. In the morning wash them with oatmeal or almond powder. It Wai Bess Job. Daring the Charleston earthquake, a few years book, some very funny and ridioulous tilings happened, as well as the more sorrowful ones, and one of the former I recall to mind just now. Just after the first shocks were over the negroes crowded the open squares and held impromptu prayer meetings, and one old deacon of the church offered up tho following prayer in all sincerity. After calling on the Lord to help them, etc., he ended his prayer by saying, "And do, good Lord, do help des people in de hour ob dar need, and do, good Lord, pleaso come your own self. Don't send your son, Jesus Christ, but come yourself. Dis am no time to fool wid ohilrnn." The Best Season. Jones What is the best season fox popping th.3 question? Smith I never knew that one season was any better than another. J. Well, the best time to propos is during an open winter. 8 -During an open winter! Why so? J.

The Weaker Sox Defended Against the Charge of Being- Vain, Weak, and Fickle Man nil a Monument of Constancy. O OE women! how eallantly they strngglo against the most fear ful odds. Our mason line accusers complain ithat women are vain, weak, and fickle. To the first charge I fear we must plead guilty. with this extenuating oircnmstance in our fa vor, it is Love who teaohes ns to adorn ourselves, that we may be pleasing to the eyes of him whose glance of approval or look of cool indifference can make one day sunny as June or bleak as v akota weather in January, xet, after all, for the pure, unadulterated article, vanity, allow mo, kind, friend, to inquire if i! has ever been your fortune, while traveling in a street-car, to have your attention attracted by tho glitter of the sunlight falling upon tho glossy, woll-groomed, extra-long beard of some happy-looking gentleman upon the opposite seat? If so, after watohing him as he gracefully strokes this hirsute miracle upon his manly chin, and noting the complacent pucker of Ins lips, the deep self-satisiaction in his eyes, especially should he also bo the possessor of a white and wellformed hand, upon which gleams a tine diamond ring. After studying his expression carefully, I say, you will conclude that, however vain woman may be. she has vet not absorbed for Her own peculiar use the cntirontoek of that innocent and amusing little weakness oalled vanity. For the second indictment, it had best be dismissed in a word. Of course we are weak, for human nature is weak, and since the early theologians, after grave consideration 'and due deliberation, have decided that woman can truly be considered the possessor of a soul, she can bt included m the general term human nature, although so eminent an authority as Tictor Hugo has summed her up in one terse sentence, "Woman is a perfected devil." Undoubtedly the great Frenchman intended this as an exquisite compliment, since a "perfected devil" would at least be a person whom no one could look upon with indifference. And in any case this need not frighten us too much, for, on the other hand, many eminent writers have described us as angels. The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes. But against the third charge, fickleness, I am ready to defend to the last oar ex, and will earnestly reply to any .writer who cares to repeat this accusation, giving illustration and instance, chapter and verse, for his proof in a definite, logical way. In the meantime let us contemplate for a little the inspiring spectacle of "Man as a Monument of Constancy." Behold him, how anchored and stable are his affections. Faithful as the sun to the earth, he ardently wooes the objeot of his devotion, until he ia quite sure of her, unless, in the meanwhile, some other woman, seemingly to him more attractive, should come upon tho field. If it chance that the newcomer proves to be a coquette, "tutored into coquetry through wrong," to misquote a well-known line in other words, made sadly cynical by previous unhappy experience with some perfidious man and should it chance, also, that this ' coquette manages to beat this model man of ours at his own tactics he will roar out as indignantly as though he had not himself left some faithful, true woman heart-broken at his sudden desertion of her to follow this glittering and misleading sprite. Just so naive, so ingenious in his consistent selfishness is this loud-talking champion of fidelity, man. Quite often, indeed, he is lacking enough in taot to go to the very woman he has deserted for sympathy in hia distress, when he finds himself in torn the deserted one. If men could but see how unconsciously cruel they are in this particular way, it would go far toward making them understand why a woman will manifest so many capricious changes of mood in the course of one biief hoar's interview. The Spartan boy who let the fox gnaw at his breast while he kept a firm, composed countenance had the same fine fiber of courage that the woman has morally who listens, fanning herself lazily and smiling pleasantly, while the one man of all the world to her, thi one to whom she has fiven all the love of her life, and who as known her for years.snd been from childhood her friend, escort, and comE union, without suspecting that she na any deeper feeling for him than frank, sisterly liking, while this man comes, I say, with radiant face to inform her, as a pleasant surprise, of his recent engagement to another woman "quite the dearest girl in the world, and yoa two are sure to be such great friends," he says. Does our poor little martyr cry out the next day, in a ballad full of bitterness, against all mankind? No; and in nine cases out of ten her own mother never knows of the pain that stabs her heart like a knife at these words of the man she loves. When, a few weeks later, she is ordered South for her health, people say she has danced too much, is fast losing her bloom. But suppose she rallies, and those strong natures that are most carjable of deen sufferine uuually do rally. A few years later, snomu some masculine of the would-be Byronio type already mentioned flutter, moth-like, too near her, dazzled by the lambent ptay of her wit which serves to hide bar heartache, fascinated by the changeful humor, that spirit whioh she mma.iM armor -against--the pity which harts a proud naturelike insult then, when she laughs at his protestations, what tirades will bo written against this "cold, brilliant woman without a heart," as they call her? So the farce goes on. Se grateful, oh, man; handicapped you may be in the race of life by many hindrances, yet with not one that can compare as aa ambition leveler with that dangerous, tremulous freight of the emotions which is ever pulling at a woman's heart, blinding and checking her intellect, and paralyzing her will, and against whioh the brains of a Caesar, the restless capacity for power of an Alexander, must prove unavailing.

Dan Remembered Him. "Traverner tells a good story in the Boston Post, apropos of the subject of memory in horses: "I happened to be ,he witness of an old scene the other day which, when recounted, may possibly amuse the reader. One of those hot infrequent, but I must confess usually fictitious necessities, had arisen whioh take me to a stable on this occasion to a largo establishment in the vicinity of Chardon street. It was about 5 o'clook in the afternoon and various people were starting for home, among them a man and woman who had a remarkably intelligent-looking 'gray borse. Just as he began to trot down the lane by which the stable is reached from the street, a Btout "party" (tho, I noticed, hod been watching the gray very intently, suddenly cried out in aloud voice : "Dan, don't you want a piece of cake?" The horse stopped short, pricked up his ears, looked around and uttered a faint whinny of recognition and assent; nor would he go on, until the stout man had come forward and explained his interference. It appeared that several years before he had brought the horse from Vermont, where he had owned him for some time, and as the beast was particularly docile he had taught him the true sense of the question the sudden asking of which brought the animal to a standstill. It is well known that horses never forget a person or place, and scarcely an event. No matter how much time has elapsed or how greatly the horse may have changed in disposition, one word from a former master will establish immediately the

The careful housewife, finding that the nursemaid had not come down, went up to her room and found the girl in bed, looking very queer and complaining of pain and violent siokness. On being asked what was the matter she explained that, having a bad oold, she had taken some patent medicine whioh had been recommended for the children. "How muoh did you take?" "Well, mum, I went by tho directions on the bottle and it said, 'Ten drops for an infant, thirty drops for an adult, and a tablespoonful for an emetic' I knew I wasn't an infant and I didn't know what an adult was, so I supposed I must be an emetic, and I took a tablespoonful and it have pretty nigh turned me inside oat."
