CHAPTER XII. Colonel Graham could not have been toueh over 60 years of ago, but he ordinarily looked to be 60, ami now that he was suffering from a very unnecessary loss of blood, added to great mental anxiety, he might have passed for 70 at least. His sickness called out a (treat Interest, and the people of the town and the officers of the Sea Hawk would have paid him every attention had ho permitted it Dinah's visit was soon noised abroad, and created no little comment; but, as many of the humbler people, and some of the well-to-do also, hed great faith in her curative skill, it was generally believed that Colonel Graham had summoned her to examine his case. Unlike the majority of his race, Othello was reticent, and though he was pretty woll subjected to thi pumping process, bo kept his own and his master's secrets; the latter had suddenly become very heavy, but, being naturally shrewd, ho core tno uuraon with a dim notion that it would turn out sooner or later to his advantage. His relationship to Dinah was not known outside themselves. The old woman called every man, white, black or red, "son, "and she was usually called granny." Col. Graham could not afford to remain pent up in his room. It was essential that he should be off, yet evident to the dootor and even himself that he would not be able to make the journey overland to Kew York, for at least two weeks. "I am very anxtons," he said to Dr. Hedges, the day after Dinah's visit, "to utilize my forced stay here by learning something of the aborigines. I have seen, here in your streets, Uncas, the Montauk chief, and his rarelv bet uliful Bister, Untilla; If they be fair specimens of the natives, they are a people to be envied." "They are hardly fair specimens," said the doctor, who was an authority on Indian matters. "Thy belong to tho royal race, and are descended from the great Wyandauch, with whom our first settlers my father was one of them made a treaty for the lands now held by the whites. A trip into the land of the Montanks would do you good; and if you desire to make it, I will see that they give you due care and a proper escort" "They are hospitable, then?" "Yes, sir; as all brave people are, no matter where you find them." "I thank you for your offer, and will start at once," said Graham. He was emphatically a man of action, and so well did he exert himself, that by the early afternoon of that day, ho was sitting on a horse, while his servant mounted on another, led an animal laden with their luggage. The young chief, TJncas, boing In town that day, was asked by Doctor Hedges to take charge of the colonel and his servant, and he did so with a readiness and grace that would have done credit to an accomplished courtier. Uncas on foot, and, with his long rifle thrown over his shoulder, strodo ahead, and he would have kept on, without a halt, had not Colonel Graham stopped In front of Squire Condit s House. The Colonel was not anxious to meet the Squire again, but on this occasion he could not avola it, lor that gentleman was standing in tbe road in front of his own bouse, and looked as it he wanted to be addressed. Approaching the Colonel,, and laying his hand on the horse's mane, the Squire said: "When you spoke to me last, you said there was something you wanted to get Balph Denham to do, when you would answer a question I asked." "I am aware of that" said the Colonel, haughtily. - "Well, I am ready." "But is Capt. Denham here?" "You know he is not." "Then it is impossible for you to fulfill your part of the condition, so with your permission we shall wait till he returns from New York." "But you may not be here then." "How do you know?" "I know but little about your past or present, unfortunately, and that little, I guess, is not in your favor. You do not wish to speak now. Go on, we shall meet again before you leave, depend on that" Squire Condit, with a Hushed face. turned toward his house, nnd the Colonel, followed by Othello, and pre ceded by the Montauk chief, rodo on. Why, Goodwill " said Sirs. Condit who, with her daughter Ellen, Lea Hedges, Valentino Dayton and the old Lieutenant, wa3 looking over the flower garden, now in a most charming bloom, "you look to be excited. Has anything wrong been done to you?" Mrs. Condit had never seen Colonel Graham until his recent visit, aud her husband, not caring to trouble her, or it may be with the belief that one can keep a secret better than two, had never j told her his suspicions and dislike of this man, nor hinted that he had ever received money from him for Ralph's care. Squire Condit bad a religious and also a manly hatred of falsehood, but being something of a lawyer he was inclined .tinn nH ,iiimn,. h h,i tho i iriii t nnrn, . ,uLm ;,iiti,, wih..t l tknmh uhf it ! .. - . 19 . . . .1 1 nave no avmnathv wiih nennla whose curiosity takes them in among i peaceful enough .cople if ihey ure let j alone.

No, it wasn't. The treaty with the i great vryauuuuun wu luir, niiu nas not been violated by Montauk or white man. I read it so often when 1 was a boy that I knew it by heart, with all the old spelling. Let me see; it begins: "Al'iiii, the anth, KS48. This present writing testilloth an agreement between the worshlp'll Theophilus Eaton, Esquire, Governor of tho Colony Sew Haven, and the worship 11 Edward Hopkins, Esquire, Governor of the Colony Connecticut, and their Astoyats on the one parte. And l'oggataont, Sachem of Munhausett, Wyan dauch, Sachem of Heuntacut, Mont iwetow of " Sqnire Gondii would have gone clear through the agreement hod not Valentine Dayton interrupted with the exclamation: "I declare, Squire, your memory is remarkable. Strange how those old Indian names get twisted round from the original." "Aye, and a pity it is. Now, I eould give yon some remarkable instances of the mutilation of native words; for instance, there's Corchake Miss Condit mercifully saved the young people from hearing the Squire airing his Indian vocabulary by leading him Into the house, on the plea of Wanting him to taste her new raspberry vinegar. And so, after all, the Squire was not pumped. In the meantime Colonel Graham followed Ua guide, nd when they bad

gone out of sight of the settlements the latter dropped back and said: "Here we are in the land of the Montuuks, to which I bid you welcome." "I thank you," replied Graham. " You have a beautiful land. How far does It estend to the eastward from hero?" "As far as the island extends." "And you cultivate the soil?" "The women do that," said the chief, proudly. "Of course, but you have flocks and herds?" "Some, but; the deer on the hills are our flocks, and the sword-fish in the sea ore our herds. " "You must lead a happy, independent life. How far is your settlement from here?" "Wo can reach it before the sun Is there," replied the chief, pointing his rifle half way down the western sky. Thoy wont on with more speed, and early in tho afternoon they oamo to a wooded elevation, from which they had a view to tho eastward of n nearly treeless valley, in which were many houses of logs and bark, nnd beyond which there stretched a great pond that looked as large as an old world lake. To the south a glimpse of the great ocean could be had, while to the'north there stroti'hed away the placid bluo waters of the Sound. "Does tho black woman, Dinah, live he?" asked Graham, as they descended to the valley. "You moan the. black priestess?" "Ah perhaps yos, I mean the black priestess. " "There is her house," said the chief, pointing to a cabin from the clay chimney of which the smoke was rising. "Bo you all like her?" "Some do. I do not, though once I did like her," said the ohief. "And why did you change? "Because she was the friend of Balph I'er ham." "Then you do not like Denham?" "1 hate him, and should he return and met me alone, 'blood will be spilled." "Why do you hate him?" Before replying, i noas loogeu liraham full in the face, and was satisfied j mat ne, too, nau no using ior ice sauor. ; "My sister likes him as she does her j "Oh, indeed. And you do not wish him to marry your slater?" "No. I wish he would marry Untilla; aud leave Lea Hedges to the man who loves her as he never can," " h, I seo,"said the colonel, on whom the light suddenly broke, and he regretted that he did not know of this before. Had he done so, he would have saved Fox whom he trusted with reluctance tho trouble of making away with Ralph Denham, for here was a man anxious for tho work, and amply able, with a little coaching, to carry it out. Uncas' house differed only In size from the houses of the rest of tho tribe; It was, in r nlity( a number of ordinary house?, connected by covered passage-ways. Some of the furniture had been procured from the whites, but the greater part from which It must not be In icrrea mat more was a great deal of i "."At?!!: welcom., aud, at the bidding of the former, a number of Indians appeared to take charge of the horses. One of the houses was set apart for the use of Graham, and a small one adjoining was given to his servant. Women appeared to cook venison and fluh before a great ilro that was built before the chief s house. Boing very weary, Graham lay 'down in n buckskin haiumool; after supper, aud Uncas, evidently glad to have his guest out of the way, shouldered his rifle and started, with the speed of a man who had an important object in view, for the eastward. After I'ncas had gone out of sight of the Montauk village, he sat down on a rock, first taking a careful survey of tho surrounding country. He had not been here very long when he heard the quick breathing and quicker steps of one running very fast. He did not look in the direction of tho sounds, but with his rifle across Ids knees he gazed steadily in the direction o? tho ocean, now lost to sight, for the first stars were gleaming In the east. "Uncas, I have come from the beacon hill," said a young Indian, suddenly stopping before the chief and addressing him in the musical language of the Hontauks, "The feet of Somonk," said tho chief, uro as tho wings of the oagle, Yes," replied Somonk, "but to me! tney aro all too slow whon they run to do tne bidding of my chief. "Did tho white men reach the shore? "They did. I saw them while yet the j do.'lining sun flashod on the headland I o- Montauk. iney came last ni-ni as was agreed? mat l Knew not, out the young chief gave me this paper, and told me to hand it to you. Uncas had been taught to read and write by an old clergyman named Bogert, who had taken a great Interest m tnc conversion of the polytheistic il ntauks. Striking a light with his Hint and steel, the young chief handed tho flambeau to Somonk and then oponed the pipor. i H was neither dated nor signed, but was written in a large clear hand, and read as follows: "The Captain of the Wa&dorer will evor look on Uncas, chief of the Montauks, as a friend who is very warm ir. hi9 heart.

Ho was pacing the deck, watohing tho Ashing eanoes of the Indians, and recalling a hundred happy days, spent with them on these bays, when Captain Fox, who had been issuing commands in a way that, showed ho was a very thorouKh sailor, joined him, and said: "I intended going up through the Sound, but as I do not know the channel, hardly care to risk It with this wind, and so will go outside. It will not make ten minutes' difference in the time." "I think 1 am familiar with every foot of the way up the Sound, and, if you permit me to net as pilot, I shall bo happy to serve you in that capacity," said Ralph. "And that you could do so belter than any man that ever traversed that route, 1 am as sure as that we are here; but I could not permit the Cnptaln of the Sea Hawk, that ha covered herself with glory, to ploy pilot for the Wanderer,

that has yet a reputation to make m these waters. No, with tho southeast wind aud tho open sea before us, we can make tho Narrows before tbe sun has set," said Capt. Fox, as he passed his arm through Ralph Dunham's, and began walking lack and forth, just as if they were the dearest friends in the world. On th part of one, at least, there was a feeling of regard that might in time grow into strong friendship; but on tho part, of the other there was an incnpaclty for everything that did not pander to his own avarice or feed his inordinate ambition. TO HE If NTINUEII. Foot Carpet-Cleaner, The poet Tennyson had his little i mishaps, just as less gifted mortals j do. One afternoon he called on some ! friends, learned that they were not ; nt home, and decided to leave a note. ! The housemaid took him to the i drawing-room, and gave him pen, i Ink and paper. When signing his name to his poI lite little missive, Tennyson, by a ; jerk of the elbow, overturned the ink-bottle; and great was his dismay at seeing a largo pool of ink spread nff rapidly over his friend's new wnlte Perslan carpet of matchless beauty. Horror-struck he rang the bell. Up ran the servant. "Do please help me:" cried the poet. It happened that the milkman had just left a can of frothing milk at the door, and the intelligent housemaid remembered in the nick of time that new milk, if thrown over wetink, would remove all traces of the despoiling fluid. Accordingly she overturned the jug upon the large black pool, and with house-flannel and cloths set about rubbing and scrubbing at the stain. Down went Tennyson on his bands and knees, rubbing and scrubbing with his little helpmeet. His agony of mind lest his old friend should knock at the door and suddenly ani pear on I he scene of disaster he often described in later days, declaring that it "reached th infinite." Hut with such a good-will did this strange couple work together that every trace of ink was removed. "Here is a 5-shilling piece, my good girl," cried the poet, "and God bless you!" With that he seized his hat and made for the door. Some weeks later an invitation to dine with his friends reached Tennyson. He went; and the carpet was in no way alluded to on either side. No Sentence. A French gentleman who visited imimaiia in A usiro-Hungary tens how he unconsciously posed as a native dignitary. He visited the police court of Zara, the capital of the country, one day to lake some sketches of the Dalmatian peasants who had been summoned from neighboring villages as witnesses iu a case that was being tried. Among others he sketched two tine-looking old women. Each wore cm her head a large, snow-white turban trimmed with red ribbons, and great braids of false hair tied with green ribbons. Their broad silver girdles were ornamented I with uncut jewels. They stood with tncir hands clasped, motionless, and apparently frightened about something, I could not tell what. Later the judge called nie to him, and told me that the two old peasants who had posed for me an hour, with such apparent good-will, had come to hint to make a complaint. They had solemnly related how "a in anhad kept them standing an hour, looking at them sternly and writing all the time, and finally that he had given them each a florin, but had not passed sentence on them. " The two poor old women had thought that I was a judge, and that while I was studying them to catch the expression of their faces and the pose of their heads, 1 was trying to read their hearts and discover if thero were any guilt on their consciences. What In Iran Made Of? This lcoks like a very singular, not to say foolish question, and yet some chemists are beginning to doubt whether iron is really a chemical element. They think that instead of being an elementary substance it may be a highly complex compound, and that eventually means may be fonnd of separating or isolating the bodies, or elements, of which iron is made up. Different substances are ordinarily combined either by simple intermixture, or oxygen and nitrogen are intermixed in the air, or by solution, or by chemical combination. Hut it lias of late 1 een suggested that there may be a fourth state of combination still more intimate than that which is implied by the usual expression, "chemical union." The combination of yet unrecognized elements which make what we call iron would be an example of this fourth stale. What this conception necessitates may be judged from the fact that it seems to do away with the atom as the smallest elementary particle of matter. In other words, it has been suggested that "atoms may be smashed." 'Smashing'' the atoms of iron would, according to this idea, be a method of discovering; the elementary subMaivcs that compose it. linker Aln'ayn l;mlrr Kiipi4i.ii.

A Horse's Fear. I once had a horse at home, born and bred on the place, so docile that whenever I required him I could go to him where the horses were at pasture, nnd though they all galloped off at my approach, he would calmly wait to be caught. Springing on his back I would go after the other horses, or gallop hoi04TTith only my baud on his neck to guiAnitun. I did not often ride him, as h was bIow and lazy, but with timid women and children ho was a favorite : he was also frequently used for farm work, in or out of harness, and I could shoot from bis back. In the peach season lie would roam about the plantation getting the fruit, of which lie was very fond, by tugging at the lower branches of tho trees and shakiug it down in showers. One intensely dark night I was riding home on this horse. I came through a road with a wire fence on each side, two miles in length, and when I had got nearly to the end of this road my horse suddenly stopped short, uttering a succession of loud terrified snorts. I conld see nothing but the intense blackness of the night before me, and tried to encourage him to go on. Touching him on the nock, I found his hair wet with the sudden profuse sweat of extreme fear. Tho whip made no impression on him. Ho continued to back away, his eyes apparently fixed 01 some object of horror just before him, while lie trembled in such a degree that I was shaken in the saddle. He attempted several times to wheel round and run away, but I was determined not to yield to him and continued the contest. Suddenly, when I was beginning to despair of getting home by that road, he sprang forward and reirularly charged the (to mo) invisible object before him, and another moiuen :, wt en ho had apparently passed it, taking the bit between his teeth, he almost flew over tbe ground, never pausing till he brought me to my own door. Whon I dismounted his terror seemed gone, hut he hung his head in a dejected manner, like a horse that has been ur.der the saddle all day. I have never witnessed another such incident of almost maddening fear. His terror and apprehension were like what wo can imagine a man experiencing at sight of a ghost in some dark, solitary place. Yet he did not forcibly curry do awny from it, as he might so easily havo done; but, finding himself maintained by a "nature superior to his own," lie preferred to face it. Tlie ineideot did not impress me very much at the moment, but when I came to reflect hat mv sight was mere blindness compared "with that of my horse, and it was not likely his imagination clothed any familiar natural object with fantastic terrors, it certainly did impress me very deeply, London Field. The Funny Old Clock Tower at Hei ne. From Geneva the tourist flitted to Berne. It is tho quaintest town wo have seen, and (dean aud pure besides. The air rushes through it like nn arrow. The rivers in this part of Europe nro swift, and limy blue. From Berne thero is a glorious view of mountains in the distance. The people here look like characters in German fairy stories, old, chull'y and funny. These' old Swiss towns have often a sort of patron saint in the shape of some animal, always connected with some romantic legend. Tho patron saint of Berne is my Lord Bear. Tho bears are the lions of Berne. Bruin is everywhere carved in wood, moulded in brass and iron, painted over doors nnd upon signs, and chiseled out of nmrble. The clcek-tot cr, or campanile, is a bear tower. Time out of mind 't has been one of tho wonders of Switzerland though it is grotesque rather than remarkable. Five minutes before each hour sirikes. a rooster perches upon the tover flaps his wings and crows. He is a:i uncommonly rheumatic looking rooster, and his voice hath an ancient wheeze, as though lie had a bad cold in his head. Xo wonder. He has been flapping his wings and crowing ever siireo before America was discovered. Three minute after the chicken circus fi star bear performance begins. A puppet gives n signal, and some liHle wooden bears, at the left of the cook,

march around in a circle, like the horses in a -ly jig dutchman. Then a wooden man, away up on top, strikes the hour upon a bell with a hammer, a little figure of Father Time inverts his hourglass, and all subside, ready to wind up for nex t time. There is nothing very pretty or wonderful in all this, but it is grotesque and funny, and it draws scores of children to see the performance every day. The Swiss expend all their surplus genius on clockwork. Ciiu in nali Com inercUt!. Silled by an Imaginary Cobra. Surgijon General Francis, of the Indian nwdieal service, reports the following cate: A drummer was suddenly aroused from his sleep by something creeping over one of his naked legs. Ho immediately jumped to the conclusion that it was a cobra, ojid his friends, collected by his outcrv, not unnaturally though?, so, too, and lie was treated accordingly. Incantations, such as are eustomtry among the natives on these occasions, were resorted to, and tho poor fellow was flagellated with twisted cloths on the arms nnd legs in view partly to ronse him, but principally to drive cut the evil influence 'spirit?) that for the time being hid got hold i f him. With the first light of dawn tho cause of the fright was discovered in the Minpe of a harmless lizard, which was lying crushed and half killed bv the side of the poor drummer. But it was ioo late.

The Argument Used

Ill

the makers of

II JJ

powders to induce the dealer to push them off on Royal consumers is that they cost less than Royal and afford

the dealer much more profit. But you, madam, are charged the same price for them as for the absolutely pure Royal, which is perfectly combined from the most highly refined and expensive materials. The lower cost of the others is caused by the cheap, impure materials used in them, and the haphazard way in which they are thrown together. Do you wish to pay the price of the Royal for an inferior baking powder, made from impure goods, of 27 per cent, less strength? If you buy the other powders, insist upon having a corresponding reduction in price.

Useful Books. If a scholar has iittlo money for books, he should expend It mostly for works of reference, and so get a dally return for his outgo. So seems to have thought a vounj: loan of whom an exchange tells a story. The airent for a new encyclopedia called upon the aforesaid young man and tegan to sot forth the great merits of the work. "Xo," said tho young man, "I don't need it I have an enclyelopedla already." "Which one is It?" inquired the canvasser. The young man conld not remember. Xeither could he toll who published It; but it was a fine work in many large volumes. "Do you ever use them?" asked tho agent "Certainly almost every day." "In what line?" ' Oh, I press my trousers with them. They aro splendid for that." Save ! by a Quick Iluir Cut. The usefulness of carrying a sharp jack-knife was shown the other day in a Lewistoii mill, when one of the young womeu's hair came tumblingdown asshe pasted a piece of heavy machinery and the ends of it caught in some slowly revolving cog-wheels, says the Lewlstcn Journal. The girl screamed, but did not have tho presence of mind to break away ut once before moro strands of hair wore cauclit and drutrged in. .She stood there holdlug out bur arms and screaming while her head was drawn nearer and nearer to tho fatal wheels. Then up came a man with a sharp lack-kuife. Ho compassed the hair of the girl within his left hand and held It firmly as ho might a rope, and with tbe ot her hand severed the fcalr close to the wheels. Won hi 00 Her Host According '.o ihe Western newspapers, the people of that part of the country are still taking lessons of their visiting cousins from the East. A yon nir lady from Boston was in Chicago, says the Tribune. "Come and sit around the fire, Emersonia," S.1I1I the uosplc.iblo relative. "There are physical limitations which will prevent mr doing that. Aunt Hachel," answered Miss Eiuersonia; "but with your permission I will sit in front of the lire." Cosmoiiolltan Sure Enougii. A Southern California newspaper rounds out a birth novice In its columns as follows: 'The child was the first Dutch infant born In tho San Luis Valley. Tbe notice is written by a Dane, put In type by a Mormon, tho proof is read by an American, the type placed in the 'form' by a German, and the paper Is printed by a Mexican. This affords an Interesting notion of the composite character of tho great American people of the far Southwest" Euough Acknmvledgeil. "The real reason why my wifo wants a divorce, Judge," protested tho defendant In the case, "Is that I couldn't bny her a new dress when sdio wauted It because I nad to pay some unexpected lodge assessments, and she " "Vou belong to a lodge, do you?" "Six of them, your Honor, and she knows ' "Tho divorce Is granted. Call tho next case." Chicago Tribune. Ai'emuinutlatllii;. Sir. lttirleigh and his little boy were taking a walk in the woods one day in October, says Harper's Young Peoplo, and boiran looking for chestnuts. The toy had poor luck, but presently observed with bulging eyes that his father had gathered a big double handful. A thought struck him. "I say, papa," ho said, "wouldn't vou like to carry your chestnuts 111 my pocket?" A "RCX DOWN" and " used-up" feeling u? the first warning that your liver isn't doing its work.

"German Syrup" I must say a word as to the efficacy of German Syrup. I have used it in my family for Bronchitis, the result of Colds, with most excellent success. I luive taken it myself for Throat Troubles, and hav : derived good results therefrom. I therefore recommend it to my neighbors as an excellent remedy in sucli cases. James T.
