MARION’S BRIGADE

CHAPTER VlTL—(Continued.) Cyrus Dix took Kate's hand, which •be gently withdrew. „ “I thought by your manner that you -were about toMxtnimuuicate something of importsnde." said ■♦vasiveTy. •ad with the Iqast possible shadow of a smile, which being observed by Dix, gratified him very much. “I was aUhit to confitle to ywrr safe keeping a secret, which musF transpire sooner GT.later. I do this as a proof of that strong yet tender friendship which 1 ntrvT& on ntr yxiu it T r i iitt it v months. For the last, few days 1 have not wen idle. True to the great cause for'which I have been constantly .in the saddle, warning all the Royalists hi this •ad the adjoining settlements to meet •t an old field near the cress roads. 1 found them wide awake for the enterprise. and tomorrow they will begin to assemble.” . . 1 S ,7 T f **** .

Captain Dix?" “About sixty resolute fellows as ever drew a sword; nil mounted. too.” “It will be in your power to throw a strong protection around my father.” said Kate.

*’lf his fair daughter proves kind and considerate, .he ..srlpilj.. suffer no harm in person or property.” was the reply. . “Ai><l if sue should not prove kind and considerate. what' then?" asked the amt idem ’ ~ ~ “1 will not be answerable-for his safety a single day—no. not for a single hour!” exrlalined Dix. striking-the-table,-“O dear, don’t look so stern. Mr. Dix!" cried Kate. , , “I made my last remark, gentle neighbor, that yon might know precisely how (he case stands. 1 wish you th look at tlie subject hi a plain, reasonable and uiatteraifzfact ; way. ami act accordingly. You must endeavor to influence your TSTT+ef.” \ "Must !?"■ asked Kate. “I.have said it.-my dear, and pardon me ill. insist upon compliance." “Certainly, raptnin: you’re so much deeper than 1 am, and know so much tatcrv about these things." “Yon arc the most sensible and reasonable <>f girls. f ;nd I shall always adore y.»u. You do not think me positively hateful. do you?" asked Dix, in a. coaxing VOICO. “I will express my sentiments more freely at our next interview, perhaps," was the playful rejoinder. Further conversation of this nature was prevented by the entrance- of Mr Martin. Dix departed, and left Kate mistress of his secret, ami greatly Ji is superior in ’shrewdness. She had experienced r n-i let able difficulty in controlling her virtuous indignation during the interview. but feeling that much good might result from the practice of some selfcojitrol and a little dissimulation, she had passed through the scene triumphantly. . Iler noble and ingenuous mind at first revolted against lire idea of deception in any case whatever: tint ns she looked into Dix's character, and perceived what he »as trying to accomplish. she conquered her aversion, gained a deeper ■::sit* t into his nature, and overcame himtn the skillful playing of that game at which he considered himself an adept. The unutterable repugnance which she Teh in her pure soul when he departed. niu*t be left solely to the imagination. Her father soon after remarked in her bearing that it was greatly to he regretted that a young man who appeared so honorable and honest in his intention, should enibr. • ■ ■ b id a cause. “Do you refer to Mr. Dix. father?" asked Kate. "Tin n 1 am sorry to be forced to say that you ’are egregiously mistaken in his character. A more unprincipled person it has never,Jteen iuy fort me to bo acquainted with." •‘Your words greatly astonish me." ex liimed the pastor. “You should not condemn Mr. Dix so severely on account of 'KTi ■poffßcaT -e'Trhnrnrs."“You shall judge for yourself." answered Kate; an 1 she rehearsed the cm versation in detail which had transpired ’befween herself slud the party referred to. Mr.. Marlin was exceedingly surprised at the unexpected relation. and felt that rt wn« Indeed diflb tit to judge of character by the outw.inl seeming. "ThingsJiave now assumed an aspect entirely unexpected." he added. "I am pained, embarrassed and indignant. We -are placed ’ln a most unenviable ;>osirion. I have long known that the jealous eyes «f our enemies, are fixed upon me. and that I was not ws’iirv from personal harm for a day or an hour; but I had trusted that the l»au\l of villainy would fall upon me alone, and not involve you. Kate. It seem* that 1 have been mistaken. and have more to fear for you than for myself.',’ “Do not think of me. father —I feat nothing; on the contrary, it is for you alone that I tremble.” “Let not my danger distress you. for II is glorious Jo flie for one's country.. Whatever situation 1 May be placed in, let it never influence your conduct so far as Cyrus Dix is concerned. Pursue n high and truthful course, never violating your beet convictions of right, or going counter to the still small voice of that divinity which presides in every besom.

I mean to carry the intelligence to Marion mys<df.”*.__ “You. Kfite? That is out of the question. Yon would never reach the Santee if you shout'd attempt it. You would be stopped by the Tories.” “You know that-1 am an expert horsewomnu ?", ~ ' ■ .

CHAPTER IX. A large, powerful horse, whose black thin shone like polished glass, gtood aL Mr. Maltin’-; door. Kate appeared, dressed in n dark and becoming riding habit. She approached the steed, who seemed impatient to be in motion, and fearlessly caressed his arching neck with her gloved hand. Speaking soothingly to the daring maiden sprang lightly to the saddle, end gi’Hspin- lhe tlnn iug- reins, felt tha t she was mistress of the motions of the' noble beast. ■ She turned his head in the right direction. ami while Mr. and Mrs. Martin invoked blessings upon her and her enterprise, rode away at an easy pace. r -’When quite, clear of the settlement, she no longer checked the fiery impatience of the steed, but suffered him to go forward at greater speed,. , 1 he nioon had not risen; it Was quite dark, and there were many lonely places to pass. Tories were very active and very plenty, and British dragoons scoured the country in every direction; but Kate was . nor. dtuuitell l>y any of these considerations. She knew she was d<>-W-tefiit. and fell r«-.t.ly and suffer in the cause of liberty-. She had gone about three miles when she approacbe 1 a wood of considerable extent;---A*she entered -rt, and the dark shadows fell more darkly across her path, she could not help reflecting upon the extreme loneliness of her situation. But she quickly shook off the momentary gloom, spoke cheerfully to Victor, and ailoned him to go on a little faster. Soon after she heard the clattering of horses’ feet, which grew niore distinct and appeared. to be approaching from the opposite direction. Although feeling somewhat anxious for the result. Kate resolutely pursued her way. It proved to be u single horseman, and he in -tautly stopped when near enough to distinguish the outline of her figure. ’’ls it you. Miss Martin?" said a voice. “You have spoken my name,” replied Kate.

"1 am Joe Sawyer," exclaimed the man. “Oh, yes, I remember.” she answered. "You saved my life. Miss Martin; I shall never foryet it. I’ve lingered about the neighborhood for several days, in hopes to get a glimpse of your sweet face. 1 think of you all the time, and sometimes 1 feel that it wouldn't be very wrong for me to get down ou my knees ami pray to you.; because, you .see. 1 owe you sueh n debt of gratitude, and cMul never repay in I know yeiu'U despi-e me for acting as I have, but I I can't help it now. and it’s no use to cry ■ about the past.” "Yq’.i’U be a fine lad yet, I dare say," I sai l Kate, kindly; "and you wilLdoubtless wipe out the errors, of the past by the doing* of th« future that is now before you." "If everybody had been ike you. Miss Martin. ! --houldn’t have been what I ant;, but they ain't nnd never will be. Thej blood hounds of Captain Nick would <wWin have torn me in pieces, if you hadn't shown your blessed face just as you ilid." "An offense like yours, 1 l»elievo. is always punished with death,'’ remarked Kate. "I know it is; But we'll let that pass. Henceforth 1 enre nothing about parties; 1 will serve you only; you shall be my queen! and 1 will be your subject. I swear to yon a lifelong, allegiance. 1 will be to yoti the most abject of slaves. There is tio service so hard, so dangerous or so humiliating, but thnt l will not attempt it iu obedience to your coinTnindi” . / tengttage surprises me." exclaimed Kate. "That's because you didn't copect gratitude from a man who could be Imim mottgh to betray his neighbors. You can say it boldly iu plain words, if you want to. and 1 won’t .think hard of yon,” “1 am glad that you have redeeming qualities. Joe. but I cannot stop to talk with yon now; I bare far to ride.” “1 shan't leaye you. Kate Martin. I'll follow you anywhere that you please •o go,”

“To Marion’s camp. “Yea. Yog can’t shake fne, oiff. Go ! whereytfti will. I’Jl tramp after you, «e« ! if T won’t,” added Joe, decidedly. ■ “Blit vvliat possible motive can yoy have for persisting in finch a strange course*'” ; “To look after yog if you should be in danger, and die for you like’a dog that perishes for his master,” fisaid Sawyer. ■ " ,- “But you were afraid of death the ’ Otdier day, Joe.” “I was engaged in a badicause then, I Miss Martin: and a bad cause makes ; anybody a miserable coward. Yes, I will 'go anywhere with you! So ride along, and I will keep,jeajf Xob ” ' • ■ "Indeed. Joe, I don't know as I can jtLlkiw__xau__trLjm--witli “You can't help yourself. I’m bound to stick to you. like shoemaker's wax, come what will.” “I don’t think your horse can keep U P ” . . - “Then I'll jink—him to death!” said Joe. and then ad.h- 1. "Iml there’s nothing that wears hoofs that can keep out of his way, when in the'TWttrse of.human events speed becomes necessary; s<s go ahead. Queen Katie" "You are resolved to follow. I sec.” “You may btflieve. it’s a fact. Give that horse the .rein. What a noble-spir-ited animal he is! You sit upon him as firmly as a trooper. Ilere we go, my queen and—D- Now for- Marion's etlmpand if they string me up. all I ask is just one tear from them heavenly eyes of yours.” > “You shall have two, Joe—-two as real tears as ever a queen shed over a devoted subject,” responded Kate,''"ghyryr Miss Martin did not mm-h regret that, she was to have coinpany during that long and dangerous ride. -- In some resiieets Joe migirt irrove - the success of her enterprise, but in others he might prove of essential service. Site had nd rejaon to-distrust the sincerity of his professions. So Kate went forward with a brave and hopeful heart, while Joe clattered along by her’ side, speaking only when he was addressed. A little before midnight the moon arose, and the maiden hailed the event with gladness. As they were proceeding in the manner described, Kate perceived in the road a few yards before Tier the figiif-e---->of a man, lie ivas on fopt and walkedalong slowly, as if engaged in thought. A military, cloak was thrown over his shoulders, which made" Kate think that he was an officer, belonging probably to the British aTntyrAsr'“lrea<ling some of the Tory bands that infested the country. The man stopped when he heard the >- m:id Of IfiiT.TOS’a feot.~niiTd drew a pistol from beneath his cloak. “It is : Col. Cunningham,” whispered Joe. Kate’s heart beat a little faster than -usual, but she kept on as if she felt there was no reason why she should act differently. - ——pretty -faee -with.-wour veil.” said Joe. She attempted to follow his well-meant direction, but the veil unfortunately had become entangled about, the hat. and she struggled with the vexatious thing in vain. “Stop!” exclaimed Cunningham, who, upon discovering that a young female, attended by a countrymam was approaching, had remained in the middfe of the road, with the pistol still in hand. "Who are-you, and where are you going?” he asked, in an authoritative voice. "This young lady,” replied Joe, quickly. “is on her way to Camden.” “WTrat for?~ Don’t you know, my clodhopper. that t’amden is in possession of Lord Cornv, allis?" -.==■— “If it wasn't, this lady wouldn't be going there, L reckon.” answered Joe. “Oh, she’s a Loyalist, then?” returned Cunningham, gazing rather earnestly at Kate. “Perhaps you're one of the Whig fellows.” said Sawyer, artfully, "but I hope you won’t interfere, seeing she’s nothing bitt a female.” “Certainly not; but I have a little curiosity to see what -she looks like. Turn your face in this direction, young woman,” said Cunningham, condescendingly- V— _ (To be continued.)

SAVING THE GOLD DUST.

Precautions Taken in the Mannfr.ctaring Jeweler’s Kstalilishment. Washing machines seem all right enough in a laundry, but they would scarcely lie looked for in the establishment of a manufacturing jeweler. Yet they play an Important part in such a plant. In a washing machine washed daily all the aprons and all the blouses worn by the workers employed in the manufacture of articles of gold. Then the water in which these things have lieen washed is piped to a room where the gold contained in it is extracted and saved. Particles of gold aohere to the hands and faces of the workers in the precious metal, and even get into their hliir. Twice a day all the operatives wash their hands and faces; and the water is, like that from the washing machine, piiaxl to the extracting room. Here there is installed a big filter, with Its filtering section made of canvas and resembling outwardly the pleated section of a giant square concertina. as it would kadi partly drawn out. All the water from the washing machine and from the wash Ikiwls in the factory is forced through this filter, and at regular Intervals the filtering section is taken out and the gold removed from it. All the floors in the factory are covered with tar paper, which eutelies and bolds all the gold particles that fall upon it. From time to time a new paper covering is laid on the floors, the old being burned for the gold contained in it. ' “SSP” By these means are saved in n factory annually thousands of dollars’ yvorth of gold tliat without such precautions woutd InevitaoljFte lost— New York Sun. '

NEW FOOD LAW

y . t .- . .. j - ' People now demand We right to know exactly what they eat To be told by maker or retailer that the food is “pure” is not satisfactory; Candy may contain “pure” white clay or “pure” dyes and yet be very harmful. Syrups may contain “pure” glucose and yet be quite digestible and even beneficial. Tomato eatsup may contain a small amount Qf salicylic or boracic acid as a necessary preserva 7 five, which may agree with one and be harmful to another. Wheat flour may contain a portion of corn flour and really be improved. Olive oil may be made of cotton seed oil. Butter may contain beef suet and yet be nutritious. The person who buys and eats mustprotect himself and family, and he has a right to, and now demands, a law under which fa& can make intelligent selection of food. Many pure food bills- have been introduced and some passed by State legislatures; many have been offered io Congress, but all thus far seem objectionable. It has seemed difficult for politicians to formulate a satisfactory bill that would protect the common people and yet avoid harm to honest makers ami prevent endless trouble to- retailers. -No government commission or officer Has the right to fix “foocl standards” to define what the people shall ami shall not eat, for whiit agrees with on--may not agree ■with another and such act would deprive the common citizen of his personal liberty, /she Postuyn Cereal Company, Ltd., perhaps the largest makers of prepared foods In the world, have naturally a close knowledge of the needs of the people and the details of the btfsiness of the purveyors (the retail grocer) and, glided by this experience have prepared a bill for submission to Congress whieli is intended to accomplish the desired ends, and inasmuch as a citizen of the U. S. has a right to food protection even when he enters Another State it Is deemed proper that 4he government take control of this matter and provide a national law to govern all the states. A copy of the bill is herewith reproduced. Section 1 governs the maker whether the food is put up in small packages sealed, or in barrels, boxes or otherwise.

—Sec. 2 governs the retailer who may open a barrel and sell the food in small quantities. When he puts the goods into a paper bag he must also enclose a printed copy of the statement of the maker which was affixed to the original pkg. and inasmuch as the retailer cannot undertake to guarantee the statement of ingredients he must publish the statement of the makers and add his own name and address as a guarantee of his selling the food as it is represented to him. which relieves the retailer of responsiblity of the truth of the statement and throws it upon the maker, where it properly 10PFfTue remaining sections ’ explain themselves. The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., for example, have from the beginning of Its existence printed on the outside of each and every pkg. of Postum and Grape-Nuts food a truthful and exact statement of what the contents were made of In order that the consumer might know precisely what he or she was eating. A person desiring to buy. for instance, strictly pure fruit jelly and willing to pay the price has a right to expect not only an equivalent for the cost but a further right to a certainty as to what he eats. Or be may be’willing to buy at less cost a jelly made part of fruit juices, sugar and a portion of glucose. But he must be supplied with truthful information of the ingredients and be permitted to use his personal liberty to select his own food accurately. The people have allowed the slow murder of infants and adults by tricky makers of food, drink and drugs to go on about long enough. Duty to oneself, family and nation demands that every man* and woman join in an organized movement to clear our people from this blight. You may not be able to go personally to Washington to impress your Congressmen, but you can, in a most effective way tell him by letter how you desire him to represent you. Remember- the Congressman Is In Congress to represent the people from bis district and if a goodly number of citizens express their views to him he secures a very sure guide to duty. Remember also that the safety of the people is assured by Insisting thjit the will of the people be carried out, and not the machinations of the few for •elfish interests. Thia pure food legislation Is a pure movement of the people for public protection. It will be opi>osed only by those who fatten their pockets by deceiving and injuring the people. Therefore. if your Representative In Congress evades bia patriotic duty hold him to strict accountability, and if necessary demand equitable and honest service. This is a very different condition than when a faction demands class legislation of the Congressman. Several years ago the butter interests of the country demanded legislation to kill the oleomargarine Industry and by power of organisation forced clast legislation really tigworthy of a tree people- Work people yrantod beef suet butter because it was

cheap and better than much unclean milk butter, but the dairy interests organized and forced the legislation. The law should have provided that pkgs, of oleomargarine bear the state ment of ingredients and then let people who desire purchase it for just what it is, and not try to kill It by a heavy tax. Manufacturers sometimes try to force measures in their own interests, but contrary to' the interests of the people and the labor trust is always active to push through bills drafted in the interest of that trust, but directly contrary to the Interests of the people as a whole. Witness the anti-injunction bih by which labor unions seek to tie the hands of our courts and prevent the issue of any order to restrain the members of that trust from attacking men or destroying property. Such a bill is perhaps the most infamous insult to our courts and the common people ever laid before Congress and the Representatives in Congress must be held to a strict accountability for their acts relating thereto.. But when bills come before Congress that are drawn in the interest of all the people they should reiceive the active personal support of the people and the representatives be instructed by the citizens. The Senat&rs also should be written to and instructed. If, therefore, you will remember your privilege and duty you will at once—now—write to your Congressman and Senator on this pure food bill. Clip mud—enclose the copy herewith presented and ask them to make a business of following it

TEXT OF PURE FOOD BILL.

If It meets approval cut It out, sign name and address and send to your representative in Congress. Buy two or more publications from which you cut this. Keep one for reference and send the other to one of the U. S. Sen* ators from your State. Ask one or two friends to do the same and the chances for Pure Food will be good.

It is true that these articles are spoken of here in a public manner, but they are as illustrattons of a manufacturer seeking by example, printing on each pkg. a truthful, exact statement of ingredients, to shame other makers into doing the fiiir thing by the common people, and establishing an era of pure food, but that procedure ijas not yet forced those who adulterate and deceive to change their methods, henco this effort to arouse public sentiiqent and show a way out of the present condition of fraud, deceit and harm.
