A Voluntary Target. James Collis was a gunner of the.Six-ty-slxth. Regiment In the Afghan war of 18550. During the retreat from Maiwand the troops toiled on through the black night, the Afghans coutluunlly charging upon them. The gnnnors were frequently obliged to nnMnibcr the gufls and stand to them to check the furious assaults, which they did as coolly as If at drill on Woolwich Common. Many of the guns had been turned into temporary ambulances, and wre loaded with wounded and dying men. Collis had all day bttu carrying water -to the wounded through the sharpest of the deadly firing, anu came op to his gun just as a hot fire opened upon it from two sides. With one glance he saw that unless this fire could be diverted, there was no possibility of saving the lives of the wounded men. Collis was unwounded, and borrowing, a rifle, he deliberately opened fire on the enemy, making himself the target for their guns. There he stood, until be had fired thirty-two rounds, the bullets falling thick and fast around him, but not a hair of his head was harmed. The tired horses made an extra effort, the gun thundered out of range, the ranks closed up and the weary march "went on. Youth's Companion. Tourist Kxcnraione.

CHAPTER HI (Continued.) Mistress Lelantl rose and went to the

window under pretense ot looking for the momentarily expected coach. By the

time she turned away her slight discomfiture had disappeared. "Are you sure, love, that all things are in readiness? No time must be lost when Cato oace arrives. 'Tis not yet an hour to sunrise. The laggard should ah, hero he comes!" All was now hnrry and bustle. Boxes and small trunks were brought out and towed away in the capacious family coach. Grnntley flew back and forth, fetching numerous parcels. George and Captain Lancaster exchanged last words with Mistress Salome and Desire, and Francis Leland directed the maids and men in disposing of nil the baggage. Then the three travelers said a final good-bye and took their places within the swaying vehicle, followed by Mr. Lelnnd, who was to accompany them as far as the Charlestbwn ferry. Grantley jumped up beside Cato, who cracked his whip and started off his pranoiue steeds. The young men waved tbeir hats, a white handkerchief fluttered back from the coach window, and Desire had taken a farewell glimpse of the place where Gilbert Merrldale lay, still too weak to rise from his bed.

Owinj to circumstances which he had

been far from foreseeing, Archibald Ale

PhcBdris had been nnnbli) to keep his tryst with Delight Leland on the night of

April 10. At the moment of starting for

Boston he had beon detained at henuiiuar

tors and afterward ordered to join the

re-enforcements tinder Lord Percy, who

went to the succor of the hapless company sent to capture the stores at Concord.

Later he had been detailed to special duty, and some time passed before be had opportunity to send any message to his impatient sweetheart. Those were not happy days for Delight. Her training from babyhood had been

that of a God-fearing, Puritan home. Her

conscience, thus tenderly instructed, con

tinunlly upbraided her for the duplicity of

her conduct, rshc did not dare to openly break off with David Townscnd, lest suspicion be awakened and her father take forcible means to curtail her personal liberty. She knew well that he was capable

of resorting to extreme measures in the maintenance of the rigbt. Her own in

heritance of his strong will and Inflexible

determination kept her true to a purpose

which many girls would have abandoned as hopeless from the outset. Her visit during the winter to "the

break; also permit them to return before the set of sun on the same day. Mistress Desire Leland has permission to remain outside the Briti: h lines if it so suit her convenience. The party will traTel in a coach, lowWheeled, with green body and yellow running gear, drawn by a pair t.f young chestnut mares. (Signed) M. T. LOHTNG, Protest Marshal. This imposing paper was carefully scrutinized by the sentinels at Charlestown Ferry, bnt Francis Leland was too well known to render any further formalities necessary. "Be sure to be here at sunset," his wife whispered at parting. "Bring an officer with yon In case there be any trouble about the admission of the other girls." She did not quite understand his odd little smile, as he assured her of the certainty of his presence, but there was no time to ask its explanation. Cato had already driven an to the flat ferryboat, and it was being pushed off. " Tis small use to tell a woman things she wishes not to believe. Best let her find them out herself. My excellent wife reckons without counting on my brother Timothy when she speaks of bringing bis other daughters back with' her to-night. He is made ot stiffer stuff than I. She will be abler than I deem her if she can get his consent to parting with one of his girls. If I do not widely miss my guess, she'll not see them for many a long day after this." The look of amusement left his face as he retraced his steps homeward. The gravity of the situation, which he could no longer deny, pressed heavily upon his kindly, easy-going nature. Strife and war and discomfort of any sort was most nnwelcome to him. He longed for the day when he could shake from his feet the sands ot this refractory new country and settle down again in quiet, steady-going old England. Mistress Salome's face, on the contrary, grew brighter with each mile passed. Now that the moment ot discussing her projects with her sister-in-law drew near, her enthusiasm increased. Wholly nbwrbed in her own thoughts, she noticed little of all that her son was watching with the greatest interest the tents, the nondescript dress, the roughly made defeuses, the huddled crowds of provincial who thronged the roads and regarded with illconcealed disfavor' the dashing equipage of a royalist. Everywhere were signs of the abandonment, in a large measure, ot the peaceful occupations of the season. Desire saw and heard nothing going on around her. She still clasped Gilbert's hand and felt bis arm about her as they bade each other farewell. He thought it was but for the day, and there was no deep sadness on bis handsome face only regret that for a few hours he must forego the sight and presence of his beloved one. But to her more sensitive consciousness had come at the last moment a strange, terrifying presentiment thr t their parting meant much more than this. She bad then given no voice to this dread fear; now it overmastered her. She shra ik into he farthest corner of the coach, and was so silent that at length Mistress Salome reached over and took the small, c jld fingers in her warm palm. "Grieve not so sorely, sweetheart. SimSPt to-night will bring you to bis side again," she murmured. "I know not, dear aunt, whether your words will happen true or not," was her low reply. "My heart misgives me that many a weary hour lies between now and our meeting." "Nay, now, my love. Shake off these naughty fears. 'Tis unlike your bonny. Si i'-iit !!! .' I would not have your moth- . .H"e ... -.i grave. She will have poor respeci (o- the care we have taken of 3W-'

camp of the Philistines," as Aunt Rachel always called the household of Francis Leland, giving her chance for a continuance oJ her acquaintance with Archibald McPheadris, had resulted in a perversion of her usually clear judgment. Seping everything from that time on through the eyes o her infatuation for his handsome self, st-.e felt no longer bound by duty to her country, her parents or the manly young ; over to whom Bhe was promised. "It would be a sin to marry Dave when I do not love him. Archie says so," she whispered to her accusing inner self. "Then tell him frankly that yon cannot be his wife," came in prompt answer. But with all her daring she had not the moral courage to do this, and so she continued to allow Dave's visits, perplexing him rind irritating herself by a waywardness and perversity never before exhibited. Poor Dave excused her unaccountable behavior in every way but the right one, which would have been long in suggesting itself to his noble mind, and the days passed with no sort of comfort to cither of them I'rom the time of her recall from Boston, early in March, to the battle of Lexington. During that infamous assault, Dave was wounded severely, and lay for days at death'it door. Just as seldom as she could manage, and no oftener, she stood for a few minutes by his bedside, little imagining with what different feelings her sister wan ministering to her lover injured on the same fatal day. Her conduct at this time could not pass unobserved by both families, but no apparent notice of it was token. One morning, about the first of May, a peddle: made his appearance at the kitchen door of the Leland house. Pack-peddlers were not unusual visitors in those days. Their visits were generally hailed with rejoicing by the feminine portion of the family, as they always brought with them i.rticles ot greater value and beauty than cinld be bought at the village stores. This raid-forenoon call was no exception to the rule. Dolly, who was paring potatoes on the shady doorstep ns he came slowly along the well-trodden walk, hastened to bring out a chair, placing it for him under the big elm tree quite near, before she ran to call her mother and sisters. "Come down, girls, there's a pock-rcd-dler here!" she shouted up the stairway. Sylvia alone responded. "Where is Delight?" asked Dolly, her blnck eyes sparkling at sight of the opening pack. 'Shi is in the garden." "I saw her down in the orchard just now," answered Sylvia, who had caught a gliripse of the arriving peddler and hurried back to the house. "I'll bring her," cried Dolly, racing off across the yard. By the time she returned, accompanied by Delight, the peddler had taken his wares to the kitchen mid strewn floor and table with them. Silks and laces, hosiery and linen, buttons, thread, tape, ribbon, handkerchiefs, taffeta, jtnuzc, velvet and all sorts of other goods Iny about in tempting profusion. Delight, mindful of a brood gold pipce givpn her by her uncle Frnncis which her hasty departure from Boston had given her nn chance to spend, and eager to own some bit ot fresh adornment for the time of her next meeting with Archie, did not so much as glance at the peddler. Her whole attention was given to the examination of a bit of beautiful lace. "Se?, mother, how exquisitely fine! I've not soeu handsomer in the Boston shops. How think you? Will I not do well to use a part of Uncle Francis' gift for its ourchase?"

"Lit mo crave your attention w -hisj piece, which is for more elegant u 'i - j sign," interpolated the nddler. L e.igatl

hastily dropped the card around which

toe web-like fabric was wrapped.

"Allow me," murmured the peddler,

stooniuE with a gnllitnt air to pick it up.

"If yon will step to the window you will be better able to discover the true quality

of the thread."

Without wailing for her reply he strodo

to the open window at the fr-.rthpst end

of thp room, followed by Delight, trout bling in every limb. Fur she had recog nized the mellow", pleasant voice us Ar

chie's. There was no opportunity for a

word lo puss between them, but she felt him adroitly slip another card of lac e into her hand as she pretended to he closely examining the piece he offered to sliow

her. He then at once turned back to the

table. "The pattern yot: holt Is of the same

oiinliiy a short, length. How much

would you wish of it?"

"II hardly ktioa," said Delight, her

eves lixed upon the lace; "yon '.snow bpHt

mother. 'Twill bo needed for the neck and

Bleevcs of my lilac lutestring."

Before Mistress Leland could reply, the smooth-speaking peddler was ready

with a smiling suggestion.

"If your daughter might fetch her

gown or, perhaps she has full liberty to take the lace away to measure if she

prefer "

Delight, instantly taking this, hint, was out of the room and half way up the stairway before his sentence was ended. Ho

lost no time after her departure in opening

a box nud bringing out a string of gold

bends, which he curried directly to Syl

via. An observer of the scene would have noticed that ho kept closer watch of that

briirht-cyed maiden than even of Delight,

From none of the ethers had he the least

fear of detection, but something in her

keen glances made him doubtful, and he

determined to prevent Her joining nor sis

tor. Her careless inspection of the beads confirmed his surmise, and when she sal J

to her mother thai: she would fetch her

dimity spencer to be measured for some laco he felt sure that his ruse bad been

discovered. (To be continued.) DIAMONDS.

If They Are Genuine They Will Stand a Severe Test.

"When in doubt as to tho genuine

ness of a diamond," said a leading dealer in precious stones In Xew York to the writer receutly, "there can be only one really reliable way by which the expert or the amateur judge can determine the quality of the article, and that Is to test its hardness by

holding It against a rapidly revolving

grinding stone from five to ten minutes. Then If thu least niatk appears upon the diamond it Is not a real stone, for if It were a diamond, so far from any mark being produced upon it, it would be liiely on the other hand to make a deep impression on the grindstone. The same test may also be made with emery paper, or on an emery wheel, neither of which, although harder than a grindstone, will make any Impression upou a geuuino diamond. "This Is a goot'i thing for one to remember in these days of manufactured diamonds. The paste article Is now made with such care that It Boniotlmes tests the skill of the expert to distinguish the genuine from the bogus, but If the grindstone is brought into play there can be no room for doubt. Soma people think that if they rub a stone against glass and It makes u deep Impression it is a diamond. But nearly all paste diamonds will scratch glass,' and tbo imitations of sapphires, rubies and emeralds will do the same. "Just to illustrate how hard a diamond Is I will tell you of an experiment that I made last year with a piece of Brazilian bort. The stone had a radiated internal structure, and It was kept on a polishing wheel made of hard Iron with a diameter of one foot for seven and one-half hours a day for nine months. During that time the wheel turned at the rate of 2,600 to 8,000 revolutions per minute, giving three feet of traveling surface to the stone. Tho total distance traversed was 170,000 miles, or about seven times the circumference of the globe, but the result wai the polishing of only about one square centimeter of thci surface. With nu ordinary diamond fully a hundred, times as much would bave been accomplished. So if the man wants to sell a real diamond and he knows that It is genuine he will not be afraid to have if tested on a grindstone." Washington Star.

Going Home from the Ball. The laws of chaperonage are very strict and are strictly observed in New York. A young girl at a New York dance must report to the u.atrou under whose wing she goes between tho dances and at supper, and must defer to her wishes about going home. Moreover, she Is never allowed to go homo alone, eveu in her own carriage; sho must always bo attended by parent or maid. It would there bo considered the height of impropriety for a young1 girl to go homo from any entertainment and unlock tho door for herself after the rest of the family had gone to bed.

As the satisfactory outcome of experiments which bave been In progress for some time past at the French Government match factories at Paulin, the object of which has been to produce a luclfer match without the employment of phosphorus, a match has been invented which, It is believed, will meet every requirement needed, while at the same time Its manufacture, from the absence of phosphorus In its composition, will not Induce that terrible necrosis of which the world has lately heard so much. No Information Is given as to the price at which the new match can be placed on the market, and unfortunately cost has a great deal more to do with the adoption of any new thing than the consideration of any beuelit which may accrue to makers or consumers; but It may be presumed that the new match will compete in price favorably with the old oue.

Prof. Torvald Kohl, of the Odder Observatory, Denmark, reports that when the huge sunspot of September last was crossing the solar meridian, magnificent auroral lights Hashed across the heavens, trtiil tho electric bells In the great telegraph station at Frederlca rang without any visible cause. The telegraphic service in Denmark was disturbed for hours during the auroral display. Prof. Kohl thinks that the agency of the sun in producing the phenomena was evident. Similar exhibitions of "wireless telegraphy" between the sun nnd the earth have been noted In the past. An Important Decision. A notable decision was rendered recently in the Circuit Court of the United States for the Northern District of California, making permanent an injunction obtalued by the California Fig Syrup Company restraining the defendant parties "from making, using or selling any liquid laxative medicine marked with the name 'Syrup of Figs,' or 'Fig Syrnp,' or any colorable imitation of the same." The decision also protects the California Fig Syrup Company against imitation of their wrappers, boxes and symbolical designs used in connection with their famous laxa tive. The decision is of the greatest value, not only to manufacturers of proprietary articles, but to the public generally, ss il affirms that the valuable reputation ac quired by an article of merit will be pro teeted by the courts, and that the party who builds the reputation by extensive and legitimate advertising is entitled to the full fruits of bis enterprise.

Kcromno for the Hair. A woman recently nsserted that the One appearance of her hair wns entirely due to a persistent and thorough treatment with the familiar kerosene of the corner grocery commerce. It was applied regularly once a fortnight In the following way: A little was poured Into a saucer and rubbed with the fingers luto the roots of the bair. The application was slow and thorough, the gentle massage of the roots with tho finger tips being needed to open the pores for the absorption of the oil. The treatment was usually made at vght, and the hair afterward tied up In a silk handkerchief. The silk handkerchief Is recommended by hair dressers as useful in retaining the natural electricity of the hair. By noon of the following day the odor of the kersosene bad disappeared, aud In another twelve hours the oilinesfc that followed Its use had also gone. The effect of this treatment on the hair was promptly noticeable, the falling out stopped, and some new short hairs were found all over the bead. As the kerosene application was continued the hair became thick and smooth. When, after several mouths, It wa finally discontinued, abundant glossy locks replaced tbe dry and lusterless bair the former condition still existing, though no kerosene had been used for several years.

WOMAN'S DEVOTiOCJ

TO

HOME duties to many women seetu more important than health. No matter how ill they feel, they drag themselves through the daily tasks and pile up trouble.

This is heroic but a penalty has to be r

paid. A woman in New Matamoras, Ohio, Mrs. Isabel. Bradfield, tells in the following letter how she fought with disease of the feminine organs until finally forced to take to her bed. She says:

Dear Mrs. Pinkham I feel it my duty to write to you to tell you that I have taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and think there is no medicine in the world like it I suffered for nine years, and sometimes for twelve weeks at time I could not stand on my feet I had female troubles of

all kinds; backache, and headache all the time. Seven different doctors treated me. Some said

I would have to go to the hospital and have an operation performed. Bnt on I

how thankful I am that I did not, that

I tried your Vegetable Compound instead. I cannot say too much in its praise, nor thank you enough for what it has done for me. I want you to publish this in all the papers

for the good of other

Sufferers. "

The wives , and mothers of America, are given to overwork. Let them be wise in time and at the first indication of female trouble write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., forheradvice. This

advice Is promptly given without charge. ' The present Mrs. Pinkham's experience in treating female Ills is unparalleled; for years she worked side by side with Mrii. Lydia E. Pinkham, and for sometime past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her great business, advising and helping by letter as many as hundred thousand ailing women during a single year.
