This compressed portion of air, by its elasticity, springs out, and thus the force travels through the air, producing what is called a wave of sound.

CHAPTER XXII Continued. The people of Sag Harbor were never surprised at seeing utnaa. sue was in the habit of appearing suddenly on the one street that then constituted tho town, and disappearing as mysteriously as she came. The citizens who claimed to bo above superstition were very sure that "Dinah was not herself," meaning thereby not that she was some else, but that her mind was affected. In those clays every one supposed to be out of mental balance was said to be mad; but the word has, fortunately, become much more limited in 'its significance, and now it is applied only to dogs and people who lose their tempers. But the majority of the people in and about Sag Harbor were superstitious, like the people of every other little town, and in this respect the world has not changed much, and they were sure that Dinah possessed supernatural powers. Had she been white they would have called her "a witch," and it might have gone hard with her; . but being black, she was looked upon as a sort of weird pagan priestess, gifted with a wonderful power of looking Into the future. She derived no little income from telling fortunes; as she knew every one, and was a remarkably shrewd reader of human nature, her success as a seeress was not to be wondered at. Untilla, so graceful, beautiful, and consistent, was a favorite with every one. In the cabins of the Usherman, as well as In the more pretentious dwellings of the rich, she had a home, and was always received as an honored guest. Like Dinah, whom, of course, she in no way resembled, her coming aud going, though always a matter of interest, was never one of surprise. So, now, as they hastened, side by side, to the town, they had no fear that their coming would create a sensation. There were two places where they conld get information about Lieutenant Hedges and Valentine Dayton; one. and the most certain, was Doctor Hedges' bouse, and the other was Squire Condit's. But Dinah did not like Doetor Hedges; he had sneered at her skill as a dispenser of medicine, and she retorted by saying that she never liked to undertake the cure of a case till it had baffled her white brother's skill. Squire Condit's was the nearer of tho two houses, and seeing a light burning there when they had reached the gate, it decided them to go in. Before entering the house they heard Squire Condit talking in loud, exoited tones, while his daughter Ellen and his wife tried to soothe him with milder accents. "It's an outrage, a high-handed outrase!" shouted the Squire. "Think of It, wile; think of it, Ellen; this man Fox, without any writ or order, but with the high hand that we should ex pect to - see only in a pirate, dares to send his subordinates ashore, and to seise the Governor's poit-rider and carry him a prisoner on board their ship." "But, father," said Ellen, "did not Mr. Frenauld say that this post-rider was an Impostor, and that he had tho authority I to arrest mou 'Yes, Ellen, he did say so; but the fellow mistook power for authority. Martial law has not been declared in this province, and so no man can be ar rested without due process of law, and on a complaint made by one or more respectable citizens. The post-rider should have been brought before me for examination and committed, if sus picious, to await furthi r examination. 17 her maiesty s ships aie to be trans formed into prisons, and her officers into lawless tyrants, then the sooner they get out of these waters tho better it will " The knocking of Untilla at the door stopped the squire in the midst of a speech that promised to be treasonable If he continued.' I Great was the surpriso of the enuiro I ana nis amiaDie iamny at seeing intilla and ' her dusky companion. They were always made welcome, but their presence at this particular time caused the sturdy host additional uneasiness. juiKe ail the very old people ol her race, Dinah was inclined to be garrulous, but to-night she fully appreciated the Importance of coming dliectly to the point After getting the sauire to examine the room in which they were and the rooms adjoining, and the outside of the house, to make sure that what she was about to communicate could nob be overheard by ears for which it was not Intended, she made them gather about her, and then told i'alph Dehham's story, or rather, the story of his extraordinary adventure. During the narrative the sauire now and then stopped her to offer an objec tion or to express incredulity; and at such . times T'ntilla assured him of the perfect accuracy of everything the old woman was saying. Ealph Deuham was as dear to the squire as if he were his own son; and it can be said that Mrs. Condit and Ellen felt towards him as if he did sustain that relation to tho family. Naturally enough they could hardly credit Dinah's remargaDie story, even though In tilla indorsed it. nt when- Dinah told where Ralph then was, and spoke of his anxiety to get in communication with his officers. all the squire's doubts vanished. Ihe wildest excitement fills the town. and extends to the adjoining Islands," said Squire Condit. raisin his hands and feeling, as he let them fall heavily by his side, that his exclamation did not exactly express what was on his nrnd. It did not take him long to get cooled down, and on occasions the squire could be as cool as an iceberg. Something must be done, and that at once; let us see what it shall be." This looked like an invitation for the others to take part In the consultation that was then going on, but Squire ondlt made all the motions, and declared thorn carried, without waiting for the others to give an opinion. in this conference it wa deoided that Dinah and Untilla should at once go back to tho Captain, carrying with them additional arms and a complete disguise; and, after assuming this disguise, he was to make his way with all speed to the Squire's house, and take possession of his own old room, where he must await further developments. In tne meantime the squiro would lind either Lieutenant Hedges or Valentino Dayton, and bring them to the house. Ihe instant this sohemo was dooldoa on, all who were to take an active part In its execution started off. Untilla and Dinah went back to where they had left lialph Denham. and tho Squire made straight for Dr. Hedges' house, where he exerted to find either the Lieutenant or Valentine Davton. He was about to enter through the gate that opened on a garden path leading up to the house, when hin attention was arrested by hearing voices inside, where there was dense shrubbery. Believln? that Sag Harbor was at this time in a state of war, and Impressed with the belief that it v. as fair to lake ! very advantage, looking to one's safoty and the saiecy or one a lrieuas, tne Squire drew near on tip-toe and stopped to listen. One of the sneakers vrat Doctor Btdftaj of that there could be no nit i

take, and the other was, the Squlri thought, Captain Fox; on the lattet point he was soon decided "And so she refused the jewels," paid Fox; "Well, there is no accounting foi women's Ways." "I'll account for her ways. Heretofore I have been the kindest - and most indulgent parent on Long Island, and 1 fondly believed that Lea was in every way worthy of my conlidenee "Heautlful girls are apt to have whims," interrupted Fox, with a low lauh that impressed the Squiro as bavins something fiendish about It. "I urn only sorry that you told her who the unfortunate donor was " "Hut 1 insist that I did not tell her, Why, the moment, she saw them and she didn't slop to glvo thorn a second glance she turned away hor head and said 'Captain Fox sent them.' I tried to impress her with their value and beauty; but bless you, she al 1 no more heed to them than if they woro so many of those shells the Indians ninke wampum of. Oh, sho Is stiir-ncoked, but 1 am determined, and I'll warrant me she'll soon be g'ad to do as I say." And tho Doctor stamped his feet on tho grolind to Rive emphasis to hh words; ordinarily ho was the most mildmannered of men, but to-night he was evidently aagry and bound to have his own way. "If sho could be induced to come on board again with you and nny othor friends that you choose to bring along, I think I coul I convince her that 1 nru all I claim tu bo, and that I atn not unworthy of hor regard," said l'ost. "Oh, sho does not doubt you; that ain't it: tut she's got this Denham in her head, and as it's only a fancy, ol course she'll soon get over it." "She'd get over It soon enough if I could convince hor of what I know. " "What is that, Captain?" asked the Doctor, enge:ly. "That this Ualph Denham, unknown to your brother, tho Lieutenant, and to your nephew, Mr. Dayton, has been in direct communication with the noted Captain Kidd." "What!" exclaimed the Doctor. The Squire on hearing this -had to bite his lips and shake himself, so much did he yearn to shout at the top of his voice: "That Is a hideous, a monstrous lie!" Captain Fox repeated his statement in substantia, and continued: "I came here to Witch Debhnm, and it was through my iniluenco that he went on my ship to New York; and it is through my influence that he is now a prisoner with his life in danger and his ship under my orders." Here was a most Ingenious presentation of the actual truth put in such a way for it deceived as to mako it a lie. "You astound me!" said tho Doctor, grasping his hat with both hands to keep his hair from throwing it o f. "Say nothing about this for the present If what I told you became generally known It would Inteifere with my plans," said Fox. "Oh, of course not. I know what the Interests of her most gracious majesty's service requite, and if. there is a more loyal man than myself, I don't know him, and I won't except Squiro Condit." "Squire Condit has neither your intellect nor your brooding. Pardon me for saying so, but I think Squiro Conalt is very much of a conceit I ass." Squire Condit bit his lips again, and mentally Invoked heaven to help him in restraining his temper, which threat ened to break loose and run away with him. "Squire Condit means to do right," said Doctor Hedges, still feoling tome warmth for his old friend, "but I often notice that those who bavo anything to do with the administration of law become contracted, and perhaps a bit arbitrary in their methods. It is most natural for men who have the power to incarcerate lawbreakers to desire to incarcerate every man, woman, and child that does not happen to agree with them. " "No doubt you are right. But beforo I go on board, where, by tho way, I should have remained but for my anxiety to gee you, 1 wish to know if you cannot mako up a little party, and como on board to lunch to-morrow, and bring Miss Lea with you; she will surely aocord me that favor. " "I pledge you my word of honor as a gentleman and a practicing physician, that Lea and myself, with, perhaps, Mrs. Hedges and some other friends, will give you a call to-morrow. Which shall it be, morning or afternoon?" asked the Dootor. "Afternoon if It suits you as well." "It will suit ino belter." "Then we'll sav to-morrow afternoon at :!. I will seo that a boat is on tho shore awaiting your order. " C'apt. Fox ehook hands with tho Doctor, who returned the pressure with much warmth, and then loi't. He passed so close to tho Squiro that the latter, without taking a step, could have knocked him down with tho stout hickory stick which he grasped. ( apt. Fox went toward tho bay, and when he was out of hearing the squire rose and entered Dr. Hedges' garden. Tho Doctor was in the act of closing the front door, for the family had gone to bed long since, when the squire startled him by giving a double rap with his stick on the strong onk panels. Dr. He dges opened tho door, and, shading the candle with his hand, he let the light fall on the visitor's faoe. The instant ho reoogni.ed the squiro he called out: "What! you, Squire Condit, roaming round at this hour of night?" The Squire confessed his identity, also that he was roaming round then, and hinted that he had no expectations of sleep that night. "Bless me. Squire, Is there any more bad news?" "Lots more news, and it's of the same kind that hitB been coming In all day. But my business here is to find your brother, the lieutenant, or Valentine," said the 'Squire, speaking with great precision, lest the doetor might road his secret. "They are very busy on board the Sea Hawk to-night," said tho doctor. "Any idea of what they are doing?" "Yes; in accordance with Captain Fox's orders they are taking all the ammunition out of tho Ken Hawk, ond sending it on board the Wanderer." "How can I get on board at onee?" "Don't know, Squiro, unlets you swim," replied the doctor, who began to think his neighbor a" little cracked. "Then," said tho Squire, "I'll go on board If I have to swim." TO HE COSTlNI Etl.

Says Bill Arp in the Atlanta Constitution; I know a young man who was poor and smart, and a friend sent him to one of those schools up North, ami ho stayed two years and came back as a mining engineer and a bridge builder, and last year he planned and built a cotton factory and is getting a huge salary. What a grand opening there is in this region for boys who have a mechanical genius, or nave a fancy for minerals or for mining. How many college bovs are there in this State who can tell what kind of native timber will bear the heaviest burdens, or whv you take white oak for one part of a wagon and ash for another, or what timber will last longest under water and what out of water. How many know sandstone from limestone or iron from manganese. How many know how to cut a rafter or a brace without a pattern. How many know which turns the fastest, the top of the wheel or the bottom as the wagon moves along the ground. How many know how steel ia made and how a -snake can climb a tree. How many know that a horse gets up beforo and a cow behind, and the cow eats grass from her and the horse to him. How many know that a surveyor's mark never gets any higher from the ground or what tree bears fruit without bloom. Two Old Sayings. The expression, ''putting one's Iftot in it" is by no means elegant, but so expressive that, sometimes, nothing else can take its place. It has an amusing historical origin. When the title to land it- disputed in uinctostan two holes are dug in the ground, and one leg of each of the lawyers of the rival claimants is buried therein. In this awkward position the dusky legal champions fall to arguing, and the one who tires first losses his dint's case. Thus in a very humiliating sense, lioth the losing litigant and the defeated lawyer have "put a foot in it." The expression "topsy-turvy" also originated in an odd way. When turf is used for fuel, It is laid out to dry with the right side down. Thus arose the pnrase, "top-siae tun-wise," pro nounced "topsy-turvy," and meaning A Xloo Xurae. Parents who are in tho habit of putting their young children out to nurse will do well to ponder over the following case recently tried in a police court at Paris: From the testimony it ap pears tnat a nurse woman was in tne habit of giving a baby in her charge an artificially healthy complexion by cruelly painting the Infantile face with cosmetics. The child progressed so nicely that its weight increased in an astonlsnlner manner, owing, it is said, to some shot which the nurse placed in the baby's clothes. Finally the cruel fraud was detected, and tho woman re ceived two ye'ars' imprisonment. Electric Light Bug. With the Introduction of arc lights iu the South have come numerous tuns of more or less dangerous species. Oue lu particular that Is worthy of notice has been termed tho olectrlc-ilebt bug. It Is about an Inch and a half low?, and from a sixteenth to a quarter lu thickness, and seems to consist wholly of Irrs and wines. Thny have hitherto been considered harmless but now It Is believed they bito or sting with direful results. Electrical Uevlew. Regularity. Regularity in feeding and caring for poultry is very essential to success. Kindness, also, will find a reward. Never allow your fowls to be frightened by any unnecessary noise or bluster. Fright or worry will surely decrease the amount of eggs hens will lay and retard tho growth of young fowls. FtcctH Arc Insolent. Oliver Wendell Holmes it was who said that "Absolute, peremptory facts are bullies, and those who keep company with them are apt to get a bullying habit of mind. Scientific knowledge even in the modest men has mingled with it something which parlakes of insolence." OlTPID is never pictured as anything but a little Iwihv, because love never lives to grow old. WHEN children are compelled to go to church too much, they quit going ifter they marry. I Lost My Hearing' hud, an u titf tot ovar rr.

Only One Chence. It is customary to say that the circus oi to-day is the same as the one of twenty years ago, but it isn't; it isn't as good. The old-time circus had only one ring, and you could see all that was going on without doing violence to your eyes. But with three rings you miss hull' the fun. While you are looking at the athletes in blue tights in one ring, the athletes in red tight 1 1n another ring are sure to break the world's record, aud you hate yourself because you didn't see them do it. You go away from the show with a mist of tears in your eyes and a great gnawing pain at your heart, and you wish, oh, you wish that you could see a one-ring circus again before you die. But you will never see it in this world, gentle reader, unless an extra session of Congress is called in July. Washington News. In Borneo. Charles Hose, an explorer, recently made a trip tip the Ilaram River- in Borneo, and noted several strange customs practiced by the natives. One night he slept in a native house, and, upon awakening, was surprised to find a the head of his bed a large tx, which proved to be a coffin. On inquiry ho learned that the coffin contained the mortal remains of the chief's lute wife. He found that it was the custom of these savages to keep a corpse in the house for three mouths before burying it.

Joseph Schiesser has invented a steam sledge on which he thinks he will lie able to reach the North Pole. The sledge is arranged with a number of steam arms, and these arms, when se t in motion by the small petroleum engine on the sledge, propel the machine forward. The sledge is also provided with a small cabin for the voyagers, and a large tank to contain the petroleum used for fuel. SchioBer thinks that he has solved the problem of polar exploration, and, having some property, intends to devote it to the purpose of getting farther north than white man has ever before gone.
