The sailor was awakened by a draught on his hand. The draught came from the opening in the window. He was, as many of his" class are, a light sleeper. Be lay qnietiy listening, xne storm naa ex. vended its fury, but the wind was still high. Above the sound of the storm he heard a peculiar sound against the siae or tne noase. The sailor eat bolt upright in bed, The noisu continaed. The sailor slipped softlv oat of the bed. walked across the room,: and felt in his pocket for thai weanon be relied upon, i nen fie donned his clothes. As he was doing this a gnst blew in the room. Stooping, the sailor w.as joss ante to discern a figure at the window. The intruder was feeline his way cautiously. The distance between the Vindow and the bed! was not mora than three feet. The man was well in the zoom: he was feeling the side of the bed when the sailor's hand clutched his throat. There was a smothered Bound as the sailor pressed the intruder back on the pad silently. At first the sailor was resolved to throttle the robber. Then as he relaxed his grasp, the intruder said, in husky tones, "For God's sake let me "Who are" you?" "Take your hands from my throat," "I'd serve yon right to end your life hew. Stealing in upon a traveler to murder him." "I am no thief. I am the landlord's "A likely story. I'll call your father np, and you can tell him how yon came fa on me."For uods sake, listen. I am voweraee l bear no arms. A am a sailor an honest sailor." "God save the mark!" "I tell you I have just escsped shipwreck. I am fust come from Harblehaatl m auaemint nt m fnnlish ficht hot I'm bo mere to blame " What! fio you were on the "Eliza- And wrecked before. Now the officers are hunting me. .1 can prove I am not in the wrong; hut if my father knnwaX am heis,.J. will alrooat ViU ane.I've cost him trouble and money. I thought to steal in this is my own bed and room sleep a while, and be off early before anyone woke." Stoplet me feel your hand. Tie true. This is no base liar after all." "I tell yon I've been away from home sour months four years it seems." "Come let's have a look at you." The sailor held a tinder box in his hand. A flame illuminated the room, and in the brief period the light fell upon the intruders face the sailor scanned him from head to foot. I know von you were anions the first to stave in the casks of mm. Here, lie down, and in the morning go like a man to your father " Jl dare not" "'Well, lie down, and go to sleep. " -The landlord's son east himself, just as he was, on the bed. The sailor disrobed ones more and laid down beside him and fell aBleap the second time. He was awakened later he had no idea what time it was by creaking stairs. He removed the cover, stoonea noiselessly oat of bed, and, as he donned his olothea a second time, listened intently. A Ufa of danger had sharpened senses naturally acute. Yes, there could be no doubt about it. Somebody was ascending the stairs stealthily. The sailor felt his weapon, and moved back to the" bench. The door was opened slowly; then in the darkness the sailor thought a man's figure was dimly outlined. She stature was that of the landlord. Now another step was heard on the stairs. In the darkness the sailor was unable to perceive the movements of the figure until suddenly he became sensible of the presence of some one near at hand. Then the sailor realized that he was unable to prevent a terrible, a monstrous crime. The figure hovering between him and the bed stooped. At a venture the sailor aimed his pistol at the figure, fired, and then bounding past the man he find at, he sprang across the bed, darted through the window, and falling on a plank placed against the house (placed there by the landlord's son), slid to the ground and disappeared in the darkness. When the report of. the pistol was heard, Griacle Meade was approaching the door with a light. The sudden fright caused Grisxle to drop the light, which was extinguished. When the landlord, who had been flung headlong to the floor by the sailer, regained his feet, be cursed hja wife for letting the light fall, stumbled against her in the dark, then hastened down stairs for a -fresh light, and speedily returned to the bedroom. Grizzle Meade w8 wringing her hands in tenor, and crying, "We are undone wo am undone, Daniel." "Pease bo quiet," her husband comsaanded, as he approached the bed and held the light over it. Grizzle's eyes were on his every movement. Suddenly he put a hand over his face and staggered back, Grizzle seized the light from his trembling hand and looked at the man on the bad. As she looked her frame seemed to be rigid, the blood receded from her line- bar faaa crew aahan-ttrav as she stared stonily down on the face now veiled fosexer with the awful shadow of She onened her mouth, but no issued from her lips. Then she turned slowly, her body seemingly as rigid asstone turned, with horror dilating her eyes, and stared awe-stricken at her nusbend, cowering, groveling on the floor, with the knife in his hand. Then, with a cry that sounded like that of a wild animal. Grizzle Meade fell in a heap bsedde her husband. CHAPTKB IU, XSJ BVXb DATS. The early dawn saw Grizzle Meade moving .briskly about the house. The landlord of Globe Inn was gulping a glass of liquor, when the glass was wrenobed from his hand. "What! Do you want to put the ropes found our necks that yon must fly to the liquor? Must I find wits for both? If you had not been so cowardly you would have made sure." "slave done, Grizzle. It is the hand of God. How eonld we know ha was there bow came he back?" "You'll drink no more till all is over, or we will hang. Hang! Do you hear that, Partial Msadet Will ws bslp matters by

babbling? I have washed and dressed

him. No hand shall touch him." Her husband shook his head. "Fool! I see our way dear. Listen! We will say it was the bullet. The boy came home, and we put him to bed. Are you listening, Diytiel Mesde ? Then the drunken sailor fought him in tne mgnt, snot film, ana nea.' The landlord looked at his wife with lack luster eroa. "Bouse, man, and leave liquor alone, unless you want to hme ." "I promise, but we might as well le done with it. "You would think differently an' the rope were ibout your neck. It is not above understanding, Tho wound in his head will satisfy all. Now, then, away speed ye, ana tell now our ooy s neen murde ed. we must alarm onr neign bore and tho authorities. Away now. Daniel Meade repeated the story his wife nut in his mouth reluctantly. As he repeated it he regained something nee tne assurance that characterized nis dealinns with the world. The announcement of the murder created a prof und sensation. The elements of a great mystery a mystery that seemed impenetrable were recognized by the intelligent, while the uneducated regarded the event as additional proof that supernatural agencies were daily demonstrated in the affairs of mankind. The authorities, on the other hand, oalmly noted: first, that the poor boy who had twice escaped death at sea in a miraculous manner, came home to be murdered by a drunken, quarrelsome sailor; second, that the murderer effected his escape easily and in a manner that would have suggested itself to the dullest oomprenension; inira, was tne aumonties owed it to themselves to capture, convict, and hang tho murderer speedily. The news spread fast and far. Great crowds thronged the Globe Inn to view the rema ns. The marshal of Salem was notified by William Ayers, Daniel Meade's creditor, to postpone the collection of fits debt for the present. Such a proceedins at that time would have made Mr. Ayers very unpopular, and he was look ing forward to political preferment. The authorities viewed the remains, made due note of the testimony submitted by the grief-stricken parents, Marshal Hobbs, Giles Ellis, and Ezra Easly, and accorded due prominence to the statements made by the marshal and Ellis in the record. Scarcely any note was maae ox ine sworn statement jazra Easty made. Ezra was only an apprentice to John Ijee, Thus the remains of the innkeeper's son-were committed to their last restiag place with much ceremony and publie manuestauons or concern. Contrary to the expectations of the landlord, the notoriety given Globe Inn was the means of re-establishing the custom the inn enjoyed in its best days. William Ayers, Meade's creditor, was paid promptly a week after the funeral. Principal and interest on the sum of one hundred and fifty pounds was paid on the nail. There were many who expressed' 2 ' . t 1 , " J . I .... . . surprise at tne auuiiy, ui xaniei aieaae to meet this and other obligations, but as the custom grew, and Globe Inn flourished, the thoughtful held their .peace, and rejoiced in the prosperity of a man sorely tried. On the morning the murder was made known, Ezra Easty, apprentice to John Lee, one of the most respectable citizens of Salem, overheard portions of a conversation between his master and mistress and their daughter that made a profound impression upon him. Ezra was not where he should have been when he heard the conversation. His master thought-he was in the shop indeed, had sent him there. The shop was a considerable distance from the house, but Ezra, whose curiosity always' easily aroused) was then aflnme; made an exouse to return to the house, and hearing loud words in the beat room, glued his ear to the door, holding the outer door in the narrow passage leading to the shop conveniently open. As soon as ho could contrive.iiJ he made an excuse to leave the shop shortly after his master entered it. John Lee's manner as he looked at his apprentice that morning was peculiar, or perhaps the apprentice felt guilty. Ezra's purpose was to speak to the maid servant, Ann Bigger, who seemed equally anxious' to place a distance be tween herself and the house. Thev en countered each other at the end of the shop opposite the house. -Ufi,;Bzr! tou neara mom, oot" "I conld not help hearing. If people' talk so loud one might hear them half jtfgcrosB the lot." Tjuoh sharp things as Master Lee said." "But did not his own daughter answer him promptly?" "Aye, and so did the mistress speak out boldly. I did not think it was in her." 'Who, think you, Ezra, is all this quar rel id cr over? I was setting the milk. and was fearful the mistress would come on me every minute, so I dare not remain longer. "That ia plain. Heard ye no name?" "I have told you. J was. fearful of the mistress." "I heard plenty more than master or mistress wonld like me to know. John Lee had best net make such an ado an a man stops a few -hours late with his friends." 1 , 'What did yen hear? I have mv own suspicions, but first tell me what you know." 'Woll, then," Ezra answered with a bickward glaaoe, it iz plain tome all this talk is about Martin Lee, John Lee's brother, who must have done some dread-. ful tning, i"Ave. that is clear, else Janet wonld not defend him so warmly. She was ever talking oi ner unoie ana wnen ne comes home how it will bo this way or that way. 'Tis likely she remembers him when she was a child; all the presents she-places store by are her TJnole Martin's. But what terrible thing has this brother done to set his own flesh and blood against him?" "That is plain, too." said Ezra. Then he coined a lie solely to make the maid servant think he was much wiser than he really was. "Master is, as you know, proud of his good name." And so is mistress, ror mat matter aye. and Janet thinks sne Is as good as Bvee." So it is not much wonder John Lee is angry becanst of the disgrace his brother may bring on the Lees. I heard enough. I make bold that this brother is in trouble, and has written or sent to his brother to help him. Janet was hot to help her uncle in his strait, and I heard " here Ezra Easty looked around him and whispered, " Ann, I heard John Lee say his brother should never darken his door until the matter was cleared up. But it is best we say nothing for the present. Mayhap this will prove something. There are strange rumors going." "Yes, and we must take heed, Ezra." "What! Art not afaid?" "Ism and so are yon. There's none living are not afraid of witches. Why, an a witch were to come now." Ezra Started, then blushed, "Ann, it'is.not well to invite them." "Pooh! 1 but did it to try yon." "Why, what can a man do more than a woman if the witches are at hand. There! I must be going master will miss me." "Say not a word of ihis, Ezra we will speak of it again," said Ann Bigger, as she hastened into the house. When they separated Ann Bigger could scarcely restrain the inclination to run to her sister, who lived near by, to inform her -of the mysterious quarrel she had overheard. It was later in the -lay when she availed herself of the first opportunity to vlsH her married sister, and retailed all, and much more than she had heard. The air of New England at that time was full ef strange rumors. The evil one, it was said, was lying in wait in every imaginable shape, ready to pounce upon weak humanity. When Ann Bigger's sister listened to the story Ann related, she instaatly assumed Martin Lee had incurred the ill-will and fear of bit brother by making a compact with (he devil. "It is all plain to me, Ann. This Martin Lee we have heard of has oome back with the devil's art, and has cast a spell on Dorothea and her daughter. John Lee will see his brother burned for the good of his fellows rather than bear him near." "I never thought it could be like that. An that be so why, I'll not tarry in the house lonaerjest I be bew' tolled like iny mistress. "Tughl Have yon no lar. Say your

prayers three times a day. If you eat a crust when you get up, or before you go out." "A crust! I'll eat half a loaf if it will keep the evil ono off." "There are many ways of spiting witches besides having a clear consoienoe, else there'd be nons froo from them. But you are sure Martin Lee has returned?". "As good as sure Ezra Easty agrees with me. He heard all, and he says " "Then oome to me to-morrow, and keep your ears and. eyes open. We'll see what is at tho bottom of this," When Ann Bigger's sister was alone she did not permit muoh time to elapse before she shared her secret with a neighbor, Aud this was the way the trouble began that imperiled the lives of the Lees,

CHAPTER IT. A BAUD LOVEB. "And so," Giles Ellis said, musinglr, "Martin Loo has returned. Art quite sure this i (rue?" he atfkod his cousin. Now, th's cousin was thtr neighbor with whom Ann Bigger's sister shared her secret before the day was over. It was now evening, and Giles had called to sea his cousin's husband upon a business matter. "Strange," continued Giles, "that John Lee has not mode his brother's return known. He is not a man to keep seorets." " They i..ay have good reaion to be silent. I have always heard Martin Lee was of a headstrong nature." "And so is John Lee, as all well know. He was never known to turn, once his foot was well set on the road. B& your meaning " "Ought to be plain to a man as keenwitted as Giles Ellis," "Do you think Martin Lee is not a welcome visitor that it is as well hs keeps indoors? Is that not it?" "God preserve us!" his cousin exclaimed. "You take the words out of my mouth." "There is no mistake Martin Lee you are sure has returned? "Nay, I said not so." And then Giles Ellis' cousin told him how the news came to her if she added to it she was, as most people ore, unconsoious of it. Upon hearing this Giles Ellis smiled, but it was not the smile which made people think they wronged him when they suspected a mau with such keen blaok eyes, so closely set in his head; for his was, at best, a sinister face. "This is worth pondering over," he said to himself when he was alone. He was walking toward John Lee's house rapidly, when a sound attracted his attention. He 'had a quick ear and eye. There was light enough to see the lamb that was crossing a field near him, Giles Ellis looked savagely at the lamb, then, costing a swift glance around him, ran toward it. As he ran he produced a keenbladed knife. The lamb avoided him it ran into a corner, but Giles grasps I it and drew it toward him, saying between his set teeth: "Now, then, John Winslow, this, too, will show thee what I can do to repay the man who bears witness against me." His teeth gleamed. The smile on Giles Ellis' face was sardonic as he turned the lamb's face up to him roughly and held its nock over his left knee while he slashed its throat. The lamb straightened its legs out as the blood spurted from the great wound. Giles Ellis rose, on 3, looking down at the dying animal, said: "And had I a score here I would serve them the some way as I did thy fine horse, Master Winslow. Blame that, too, 03 the witohes," he- added, scornfully, as he thrust the knife-blade into the soft earth repeatedly. Then wiping it carefully ou the grass, he replaced it in his pocket and returned to the path. He was walking away from the field where the lamb lay, when he paused suddenly, stood still, and. listened. Then he vented n terrible oath, darted to a clump of undergrowth, and there, in a depression in the earth, beheld a man crouching. ITU HE UONTIMOED.J . How He Saved His $9,000. Father Malone had just nut the fin ishing touches to one of his excellent sermons, when bis housekeeper an nounced that a conple of individuals were awaiting in the adjoining room to have the nuptial knot tied. The task is always a pleasiug one to Jbfe revere encer. So, running a TiraSn' ftTfew times through his hair and assuming bis most pleasant smile, he proceeded to perform the ceremony." On reaching tho waiting-room, however, (here was surprise in store for him. There sat John MoQraw and his good wife Sophie no one else. "We oome to bo njimed," quoth John. I "Married, you say! Why, you must be crazy, John McGrawi This is not a matter to joke about." 1 Joke, your nverencel 1 ain t no funny man, and you ought to know it by this time. We want td be married, and no mistake about it." ! "Then, where is the ladj?" "Lady! There she isn pointing to his wife. I By this time Father Malone had con cluded beyond all doubt he had a couple of lunatics on his hands, aud just as he was about to distatch a mes senger for a policeman, HcG-raw explained : i "Father, perhaps you didn't hear about it, but Sophie has eing going back on me, au' all I could sav to her, she must hate a divorce. Well, yer honor, she got it, bad luck to her, and it cost like the excuse me, father but it made me hot, especially considering that the uourt gave her ssa.tHK) alimony -nine t-h-o-u-s-a-n-d dollars, father; think of that. Why, it would ruin me twice over. So I says to Sophie, aez I, 'Can't this little matter be arranged ? you and I, Sophie dear, have lived together for twelve years and surely yer notgoin' to desert me now?' With that she burst into tears, and so we agreed to get married again. It isn't the $9,000 I care about, 'father, but it nearly broke my heart to think I would hare to live without her." And here Mr. McGraw sobbed softly and continued to sob while the priest examined the marriage license, which was 19 due form. Nothing further re mained but to unite the divorced couple. By becoming a party to the arrangement the lady released her $9,000 claims on her husband's estate, and John was proportionately happy. The parties were married in St. Louis some twelve years ago, whenMrs. McGraw was a blushing girl of seventeen. She obtained her divorce a few day ago in the District Court on tho ground of her husband's extreme cruelty. Denver News. Definitions ef Bible Terms. A gerah was a cent. A cab was three pints.

A STORY ABOUT DAUDKT.

How tlio Famous French Writer Beg-aa His Cart er tn Paris, The following incidents in the career of Aipnonse Daudet are related by tt. H. Boyeseu, who enjoys the privilege of a personal acquaintance with the dis tinguished French author, 'iiiey will be of i special interest to the readers of Daudet's new novel, "Port Tarascon," now being published iu Harper's Mag:aiine: "Alehouse IJaudet, a little delicate man, with dark beard parted at the chin, heavy ringlets like a lion's mane surrounding his head, soft dreamy eyes and extremely robust chest such he is. When a boy "his father failed, and for some time Alphonso lived with him in penary at Lyons. But an elder brothor procured a position ia a glass store in Parts, and Alphonse went to live with him. They took the cheapest lodgings in the city, tor monuy was exceedingly scarce. "In fact, Daudet traveled to Paris in a freight car, wearing a pair of rubber boots, inside of which were neither slippers nor stockings. The journey lasted two days, aud the boy did not taste food during the whole time. Finally when Paris was reached he was nearly frozen as woll as starved. There they dwelt, far up in the attic of a building bix stories in height. "But neither of the brothers lost heart. Both had an abounding faith that the youuger possessed genius. One day a stray volume of Daudot's poems found its way jjto the Tuileries. Tho Empress Eugenie was delighted with it, and exclaimed to her brother-in-law: 'Can't you do something for the boy who wrote these?' The Duke replied: 'We can do everything for him if Your Majesty so desires.' 'Then find out about him and of assistance,' she cried. "The next day Alphonse looked down from his antic window in surprise to see a great carriage, bearing the royal coat of arms, stop before the door. In a moment a huge, impressive, dignified, liveried lackey came ponderously creatine ud stairs, " As ho knocked heavily npon the door Daudet reeled forward half in a faint, wnat could it mean? What would happen? Nothing, the lackey said, except the Duke seat his card to M, Daudet, who would please call upon the Duke one week from that day. "Ah, what preparations were made for that visit ! Surely Daudet could not go to the palace in rags and tatters, so he searched the clothing stores of all Paris, trying to hire a dross suit, but owing to his peculiar physique none could De found. After many trials ne succeeded iu getting hold of a tailor who made him a suit on the strength of the Duke's card for Daudet had no money to pay fdr it and on the appointed day he went to the palace. A score of others were present, but he waited his turn, and it came. He was ushered in to where the Duke sat. '" 'Can you write?' 'Yes, sir,' replied .Daudet, 'Very good; I want a Secretary, Pay, 5,000 francs. Good morning.' The boy was nearly overcome. He had never imagined that any one was paid that much a year about $1,000. But he suddenly remembered that he differed in politics from the Duke, and drawing himself up, an nounced the fact. Instead of being deeply moved by this heroic course, the Duke said : 'Oh, go get your hair out ; I don't care anything about your political belief.'" A Fish-Hawk's Met. The nests of birds always interest us. The skill with which the oriole attaches his swinging house to the branches of the elm is ever a source of admiration. In what odd places, too, are nests sometimes found ! An old coat hung across a fence to serve as a scarecrow attracts the smaller birds, and that which was an occasion of terror to the crows becomes' "a cosy' residence" for a pair of wrens or sparrows. Last summer, while cruising along the coast of Maine, writes a correspondent we saw a fish-hawk's nest in a very unexpected place. We were running through what is oalled on the charts, the Fox Island Thoroughfare, and were headed to the westward, making for North Haven. Just before we reached this place our attention was called to a "spindle" on the starboard. This "spindle" is a strong rod of iron with a circular, concave iron disc at the top, and is placed there to mark a dangerous ledge. It rises out of the water to a height of perhaps twenty feet. The slightly hollowed disc that surmounted the rod contained . large nest constructed of coarse sticks aad twigs, end ou the edge, calmly secure in its domain, two fish-hawks were perched, waiting for their finny prey. Here, a mile from shore, safe above the reach of angry billows, they had built their heme. It is interesting toi think of them when the sea was lashed to fury and the storm raged upon the deep, dwelling there between the sea and the sky These birds usually nest in tall trees on cliffs in places not to be reached by man without much difficulty, but instinct had led this pair to choose a home amid the waves, a home suited to the ivild and wary nature that lores solitude so well.
