THE LOST TRIBES,

(The Trapper's Story Continued.) Thus some months passed, and. strange as it may appear, teams had never encountered each other on the road while going in opposite directions —principally for the reason that they had so far been used exclusively for transporting scholars to the forks. But one evening, when returning home, closely followed by the team belonging to the household below us, both wagons being filled with scholars, the two patriarchs occupying seats in the rear, ot" ... their respective wagons, when at a point not over a mile from home, and while ncaring one of the numerous bridges which spanned the ravines which the road approached on a sort ol embankment, we espied in front and coming toward us, not over a hundred yeards away, and just rounding a curve in the road, and at about the same distance from the bridge that we were, the extra outfit from our household, loaded with eight of our people who were evidently taking a ride for pleasure.

Goats in the Land of Nod were much like goats elsewhere, and the teams espying each other, probably as soon as we had noticed the approach of the team in front, with a savage "ba-ah," with arched necks and heads cast down, ibroke into a run, notwithstanding the iranctic efforts of the drivers to prevent them. Seeing that a collision was unavoidable, 1 jumped out, and yelled to the others to jump also and let the teams fight it out, as there was no help lor it at that point. But the natives, not understanding, or being paralyzed with terror, clung to their seats helplessly, the drivers still endeavoring to stop the infuriated animals by pulling on the lines. But it was useless, and the two outfits, goats, wagons, natives, patriarchs, came together on the bank leading to the bridge with a terrific crash, the loud "ba-ah-ing" of the goats above the din of splintering wood and the startled cries of the thoroughly frightened aborigines who were unceremoniously tumbled down the bank or buried in the tangled mass of butting goats and wagons wrecked. To make matters worse, the team behind us had •come up, and scenting the battle, went in with a rush and added another wreck of splintered wood and startled humanity to the struggling heap before me. The spectacle of twelve goats butting and bleating amid the ruins of the wagons, the blue-coated natives sprawling down the bank and gathering themselves up in a manner indicating that they thought their end had come, rubbing their naked and bruised shins and occasionally groaning in a dolorous way that could be heard above the noise made by the struggling goats on the road above, was too much for my risiliSlities, and I began to laugh in a most uproarious manner, I suppose. It was all too funny. And seating myself under -a tree I looked and laughed and laughed -and looked until my sides ached. The woe-begone natives began to gather .about me, thinking I was hurt, and tak- I 'ing me tenderly by the shoulders shook jtne as if they thought INnight have a "fit of some kind. This was only fresh cause for mirth, and I laughed until I could laugh 110 more. I knew that none of them could be much hurt, and aside from a few bruised shins there were no casualties worth speaking of—saving alV'»ys the rude shock to the dignity and unruffled temper of the two patriarchs who had both been tumbled down the bank.

Having got my laugh out, I assured my sympathetic friends that I was unhurt, and advised them to secure the goats if possible, some of whom were sfcili butting everything in sight. And this was by no means an easy matter. A goat may be managed when in a good humor, with comparative ease, but here were twelve infuriated "billies"—very large ones—who were ready to butt all things animate or inanimate, into original chaos. And a nice mess they had made of it. The wagons were badly damaged, but could be repaired much easier than to inakc new ones. By the exercise of considerable strategy we jwerc able tc get control of the animals, and with straps from the broken harness, managed to lead them away, while others gathered up the wrecked wagons, and thus we returned home—the natives greatly cast down, but as for me.

I was feeling happier than at any time since my arrival in the country. Tile patriarch from below us, on our arrival at home, called Enoch to one side and a long consultation ensued. After he had gone Enoch came to me and •-said that they feit great concern about :-.-the outcome of the new style of traveling, fearing that it was to disorganize the community as well as to endanger life and limb. And that they had determined to go on the following day and notify all the other patriarchs of the sad mishap. That for himself, he proposed never to ride again, but would travel as had his ancestors for ages—on foot.

But that whatever the outcome of the consultation with the other patriarchs, I would still be allowed to retain a wagon and team, or as many teams as I thought necessary, for my own use. I told him it was weak and foolish to be so easily frightened at such a slight mishap that there was no real danger and that all they had to do when teams were approaching cach other was for the driver of one team to go at once to the heads ot fhe goats and hold them while the other team drove by. That it was the nature of a goat to fight anything that seemed to oppose its progress. The explanation seemed to relieve lun~., and I coul^ see that he was not very anxious to do away with rapid t-ansit. Still, he said the others must be notified of the danger, and of my instructions for avoiding it.

Early the next morning Enoch and our neighboring patriarch set out on their tour, and I did not see cither for several days. As Enoch said nothing

further in opposition to the teams and wagons, I became curious to know what had been the result of their'mission of warning to their more lucky friends. So 1 asked linn about the matter and ho said that the others were so pleased with the innovation that they would not listen to any scheme looking to the abolition of the same, and that they had even doubted their story about the ac-

cident, and had all said it was the fault of the drivers. This report, and the solemn manner of Enoch in relating his experience, amused me very much, but fearing to offend the good old man, I refrained from laughing at him.

In the meantime our workmen had repaired the damaged vehicles, and ali was going on as usual. Enoch looked wistfully at us each day as we started out, showing plainly that he would greatly like to be one of the party had he not declared that he would never ride again. Finally I urged him privately to throw aside his fears. As lie had made his declaration against the newfangled way of traveling only to me, I told him that his people should never know from me what he had said, and that he could excuse himself by saying that he had been waiting to see if they had learned to control the teams before risking a trip behind them again. He agreed to this and was thereafter almost always my companion in my daily rides. And although the goats would always make a break at cach other when two teams were approaching, so wide-awake had the drivers and people become, that there were no more mishaps of any consequence, as all would at once jump out and help control tha beasts on the first appearance of danger. Thus was another innovation changed to ail established custom, and rapid traveling became the rule, where heretofore all locomotion had been accomplished by the sandaled foot of patriarch and peasant.

The new method of travel having be-

THE GREAT RUN AWAY AND COLLISION.

come an institution of the country, and having been lully and finally adopted by the people, I one day suggested to Enoch that it would be an agreeable diversion to their women folks if they were allowed to take an occasional ride in the vehicles which were now in almost constant use, explaining to him at the same time that it was customary in civilized countries for men and women to ride about the country together, especially the young people. To my astonishment he responded the gruffest manner: "No," said he, "woman's

T?:us at th«-end of three years I found that, through my efforts, English was spoken in all the tribes* many ot the natives could write ancl could read their writing and mine alscn and a system of transportation had bean established by which it was easily possible to make the trip around the valley in one day, by means of relays, which I frequently did. They now had a large number of trained goats in corrals at tha different households and, as everything belonged to everybody in that hajjpy land, when a team showed signs at fatigue an exchange was promptly made at the next station. All did this,. no matter where they might happen to be. The people, too .were changing from their sleepy, slow demeanor to a- wide-awake and alert race. I found myself a welcomc and even sought for visitor at all the households,, and would often be absent from home a week at a time, thus living over rny experience of "boarding arnnnd" when I was a weary and disgusted school-teacher back in Virginia. I found plenty of company at all of the households, and as the novelty of things had not even yet entirely worn off. I considered the situation an improvement over, my former experience as an instructor. The school we continued at the temple, but the pupils were becoming unruly, in keeping with the change among the people, and at times almost boisterous. The patriarchs, who dropped in to see the school from time to time, noticed the fchange and expressed their disapproval in the strong-

I found that I was no

longer able to control the pupils as I wished and told Ihe patriarchs so. They feared damage to the building, and especially to the sacred vase which had no protection save the white covering. I had by that time begun to think that the school had fulfilled its mission. I had no books, and had practically inv parted all that knew worth teaching to a large number, and felt that the seed was sown and would in time bring forth fruit. So I suggested and urged the discontinuance of the school at the temple, promising to give my services irregularly as I might visit the various tribes. This coursc was at length de^ cided upon, and the irreverent and noisy intrusion upon the sacred silence of the temple designed alone for services to thh dead was disc6titinued. Thus ended my career as president of the first college in the Land pf Nod.

The occupation had been congenial to me. I had really enjoyed myself. But now I again found leisure also enjoyable. Much more so than before, with the added conveniences of easy transportation and the ability to converse and be understood wherever I might go. I felt that my efforts had been amply rewarded. Life was endurable even in that inaccessible and undcscrtablc country.

As I would travel around among the different households, questions would be frequently asked me concerning my origin, how I had got into the country, where I had come from, etc., which I answered in. an evasive way as a general thing. To some few ot the most intelligent, as well as to Enoch. I repeated inv story, and was always met with an incredulous look and a doubting expression. Evidently they did not understand or did not believe what I told them. 1 asked about storms like 1 had tried to describe to them, and was assured that nothing like it had ever been heard of in their balmy valley. It had seldom rained. \nd when it did the rainfall was of the gentlest— a mere mist. The winds were balmy zephyrs that scarce raised a wave or ruffled the glassy surface of the landlocked bay and river. Clearly they could not comprehend the awful meaning of the word cyclone, and my repeated cvplanations only served to add to the mystery of my advent into the country. So I ceased eo explain the matter and talked of other things. In my conversations with Enoch from time to time I had endeavored to make him understand something about the outside world in all its various aspects. I had told him of the wars and batLles in

which thousands and tens of thousands were slam of the great governments of the world of our own revolution and the new nation that had risen from the bloody fields of '~6, which promised to be a haven of refuge to the oppressed of all the world of the crime and sin and shame of civilization to which this favored land seemed a stranger of our system of burial of the pestilence that had at various times devastated the most favored races of tilt world of the suffering and want and woe that everywhere stalked abroad among our more

place is at home and not gadding about 1 enlightened people: and last, and as I observed with the least effect upon my hoary-headed listener, I had endeavored to explain to him the variors creeds ot religion which flourished among civilized nations. I tried to impress upon him the superiority of civilized customs md ways over those of his own land raid people, but, while he seemed to comprehend it all, what I said seemed to- affect him but little, until 1 spoke of the superior advantages ot civilized life, at which he shook his head most dicidedly.

the country." And that settled it. It began to dawn upon me that Enoch's views of the rights of women were in keeping v*ith the narrow confines of tlwiir sea-girt land, but I was not prepared for a still farther exhibition of inherited bsgotry which he disclosed at a /atcr period. Women were not unhappy in the Land ®t Nod, but their sphere of trselulness was bounded by the rock-ribbed walls of their own homes.

Now that the school was discontinued I had an abundance of leisure ,and on one of our numerous excursions, Enoch and I left the wagon and team at the "Sorks" in charge of the drivers, of whom we always had an abundant supply of volunteer*,, and taking our way past the temple and the furnaces, we began to ascend the mountain. Reaching an elevated position from which we cauld have an unobstructed view of the valley below, we seated ourselves beneath some trees* and gazed for a time Mi silence on wood and stream, and distant peaks, and spreading landlocked bay. It seemed that I would never tire of the beauties of this view— the finest in all this land of wondrous beauty it seemed to me. Enoch, also, was not indifferent to the charm of hazy peaks and silvery streams. For an hour we sat thus, when 1 consluded that it would be a good time and place for me to inquire into the history of this mysterious race, of which I knew as yet so little. So I told Enoch of my wish, stating that he was now able to talk to me in my own language, that we were away by ourselves and free from intrusion, and that I would like to have him tell me of the history of his people, of their origin, how they came to the Land of Nod, of the meaning of their funeral customs, why there were no more children born (I had known of but one birth since my advent into the country) and all that he might be able to think of in relation to these matters, and that I would write it down on

parchment which they should prepare for me, to be safely put away in a stone box in one of their subterranean rooms, which should be the commencement of a written literature, something which they had never had, thus to be preserved for the information and guidance of future generations, giving them something authentic as to their origin and history. Enoch had by this time become able to speak readily, and was able to express his thoughts quite accurately in a continuous conversation in English, which none other of the older natives could as yet do, and the narrative which I will try to repeat to you is in nearly his own language. In reply he said that the idea of storing away what he might say he thought of no consequence, but that to please me and pass the time, he would tell me all that he knew about the matters I had inquired about. Removing his hat (which was of the ususal sunshade style) and throwing back his long gray hair from his forehead, the venerable patriarch said: (To be continued.)

CYCIJK NOTES.

Bicyclc weddings are now the fad and accounts of them come from every quarter.

In cleaning a chain with kerosene don't forget to rub it dry, and carefully wipe away all the grit that has- accumulated in the links. That is what the cleaning process is meant for.

Many cyclists forget how easy it is to lose control of the wheel when ridden down lull. An ounce of caution is worth a pound of hard bumps and severe injuries in the cure.

It is said that Mayor Strong of New ork City steadily ignores the wheelmen, and the party which he repre scnts will find when election day comes around that the wheelmen have a fow votes in that city.

The scorcher gets scorched pretty well when brought before a judge and is fined $io and costs. One dose of such discipline generally has the desired effect.

The American bicycle is an inter national question which the English are learning to straddle. We are shipping wheels to that country.

Every cycle accident calls forth protests from some against the bicycle and yet no one suggests tearing up all the railroads every time there is a crash upon one.

The sensation of the year in cycle circles comes in the announcement that Walter C. Sanger of Milwaukee, probably the greatest unpaced rider in the world, has signed to race on the Outing bicycle team of Indianapolis during 1897. Sanger is at present in Denver where he will remain until after his match race with Hackenberger of that city, June 19.

Lincoln and the Sentinel. In an article in the March Century entitled "Our Fellow-Citizen of the White House," Mr. C. C. Buel tells the following story of President Lincoln: "There have been no soldiers as guardians under the shadow of the great Ionic columns since the war and even then, on one fierce winter night, the boy in blue who was on guard was not allowed to maintain professional decorum. Mr. Lincoln emerged from the front door, his lank figure bent over as he drew tightly about his shoulders the shawl which lie employed for such protecton for he was on his way to the War Department, at the west corner of the grounds, where in times of battle he was wont to get the midnight dispatches from the field. As the blast struck him he thought of the numbness of the pacing sentry, and turning to him, said: "Young man, you've got a cold job tonight step inside, and stand guard there.' 'My orders keep me out here,' the soldier replied. 'Yes,' said the President, in his argumentative tone 'but your duty can be performed just as well inside as out here, and you'll oblige me by going in.' 'I have been stationed outside,' the soldier answered and resumed his beat. "'Hold on there!' said Mr. Lincoln, as lie turned back again 'it occurs to me that I am commander-in-chief of the army, and I order you to go inside."

The History oft he Inauguration Hall, The inauguration bail dates from the very beginning. There was a ball when Washington was inaugurated in New York, but owing to the pressure ot oilier demands upon his time, it did not take place till the evening of March 7 Washington attended, and.perlormed a minuet with Miss Vail Znndt, and danced cotillions with Mrs. Peter Van Brugh Livingston, Mrs. Maxwell, and others. There was no ball at his second inauguration because of its extremely quiet character, and there was none when Mr. Adams came 111 because of the general grief over Washington's departure. I can find no mention of a ball when Jefferson was inaugurated, but there was one when Madison came in, and since then there has been no break 111 the custom. There were two when Polk was inaugurated, and two when Taylor succeeded him—an administration and an opposition ball on each occasion, both very well attended The crush was so great at the Taylor administration ball that many persons narrowly escaped injury, and there were loud complaints because of the inadequate supply of refreshments.—"Inauguration Scenes and Incidents." bv Joseph B. Bishop, 111 the March Century.

How to Dress "Well.

Dr. Johnson, speaking of a lady who was celebrated for dressing well, remarked: "The best evidence that I can give you of her perfection in this respect is, that one can never remember what she had on." Delicacy of feeling in a lady will prevent her'putting on anything calculated to attract notice and yet a female of good taste will dress so as to have every part of her dress correspond. Thus while she avoids what is showy and attractive, everything will be adjusted so as to exhibit symmetry and taste.

Beauty in the Home.

The often ugly and always chilling and unresponsive-looking white marble has long ago been banished, when possible, by comfort-loving people from their rooms. In many a delightful house, however, mantels still remain to be wrestled with. The speediest transformation the writer has seen in this line is in a certain cosy library sittingroom. In the morning, a visitor who dropped in, was asked for advice in dealing with the mantel of this room, in the old-fashioned wide house into which her friends were settling down, they hoped, for life. The family exchequer did not permit of calling in an experienced workman or advising with an artistic furnisher, but said the owner of the room: "If I could only have the comfortable-looking and altogether satisfactory red mahogany mantel you have in your pet room, "l would ask for nothing different were I a millionaire." A pot of red mahogany paint and an ordinary comb, only this and nothing more, changed shabby white marble into what even the family have now forgotten as ever being anything but wood. Two coats of paint and before the second one dries the comb is to be drawn over it to imitate the graining of wood. Practice on a bit of board first, as the comb must be used with a light hand and also with "discretion."

This hint was carried out, and the evening of the same day found the mantel transformed.

This is the way this practical girl set to work. The marble surrounding the grate was measured into squares to imitate tiles, the dividing lines painted black, then with a wax pencil, the same as is used to draw on clnnaware, bold designs were traced. As these were afterward painted over a delft blue, corn flowers and ragged salors were chosen, and as these lend themselves beautifully to rose sprays the effect is charming. If the hearth is treated 111 the same way conventionalized daisies will be less trouble and will answer ad mirably. It the old marble is painted a dark color the tiles will appear as if SIM 111 and the contrast may be made very telling.

Lovely artistic tints may now be bought in imitation leather. "Imitation" has a bad sound, as ol something that is not worth expending tune and labor upon, but in this case the material is a kind of enameled cloth that wears excellently and saves the trouble and odor of painting pine boards. For covering odd shelves there is a dark-red made ir this enamel cloth that has a dull, soft finish like Russia leather, and is a delightful offset to books and prcttv odds and ends. When this is used as bordcrmg, brass curtain rings sewn on in points or in groups of six or ten of pyramid shape, as a finish at the bottom, and the brass nails wduch fasten it on a heading, is effective and simple Always use jellow saddlers' or embroidery silk to sew brass ornaments

Long boas of chiffon or lace are worn. One of these boas about a vard and a half in length, made of black chantilly lace in cascade effect, is very elegant.
