..CHAPTER XIV. UNCLE LEWIS' STORY.

It is two days after the meeting of our oH friends, and we find them sitting again at the doorway of the same rude cabin wbero our hero was introduced to tbe reader.

Ttis the last night they will spend at this rustic hut, for Uncle Lewis ban informed Phil that on the morrow they are to continue their iourney, and go to the white settlement in Virginia.

Tbe two had told their stories cf what had transpired during the many month* separation. The youth leirned that the hunter had not deserted tbe cabin at all, fearing to do so, lest the boy should escape from captivity and return tbjre to be disappointed.

Unole Lewis told how he searched the day following Phil's capture of the constant search he bad kept up, feeling cer tain that the vonth was alive the

and yet I could not think tbat youth so much mingled sadness and

pleasure, but as yet nothing bad been said of'the all-important point—tbe secret of Phil'f life.

T'ie time has now come, Philip," said the hunter at last, knocking the ashes from bis pipe, and laying it aside, when I am at liberty to tell you who we are, and how we came to live in tue forest as hermits together."

Our hero came closer to the speaker, tnd begged tbo good man to procced. Mv name is Louis de Marque. I am a Frenchman by hirtb, and in France I lived peacefully up to tbe time when I shall begin my story:

In tbe year 1783 I was twenty-two years of age, had a wife and infant son. and spent a portion of my time as teach er of languages and gymnastics. Louis Phillippe, then but ten years old, was one of my pupils.

I belonged to one of the wealthiest families of tbe kingdom, and was in direct line to great heirship, providing there was a son of mine to retain the title, and rot allow the estate to pass out of the old family name. Iflhaanoson to inherit irom me, then the heirship! would lead to a cousin, who had son's) bearing the family name, but very un worthily.

Tn response there canoe a cold grunt tbat at once satisfied our hero tbat his ooniecture was correct. •fho hantor was on the alert, not knowing what tbe result ol a meeting might be under the peculiar circumstances that surrounded them.

The simplicity of manners which makes Governor Hayes aud his family so popular with the people is well ill us trated by an incident tbat occurred, it 1363. Colonel Bayes was then in camp with his regiment at Charleston, Wes* Va. While thf»re Mrs. Hayes visited her husband, and made a short sojourn in camp.

James Parker, of Mesopotamia, Trum bull county, was a good natured, jolly "boy" in one of the companies of Hayes' regiment. Soon after Mrs Hayes' arrival, and before it was known io all tbe boys. Parker was expressing his regrets to some of his comrades that

woman who does tbe sewing for tbe regiment, and got her to fix it? "Didn't know there was such a woman. Where is she f" asked Parker. "She's up in the Colonel's tent," said his comrade, "and if you'll take your blouse up there she'll mend it for you. That's what she's here for."

The unsophisticated Parker at once started lor the Colonel's tent, blouso in hand. Colonel Hayes politely returni h's salute, invited him in, and inquired what be wanted. He replied that he wanted his blouse mended and pockets put in it, and that he understood there was a woman there to do sewing for the regiment. The Colonel took in the situ ationatonce. With a merry twinkle in his eyes be called to Mrs. Hayes and asked her if she could fix the soldier's blouse. She promptly accepted the job and told Parker to call for it in the afternoon.

When Parker returned to his com rades they were looking out for some lun. "Whore's your blouse?" they «ked. "Why, I left it with the woman to be rfxed," said Parker." And when, in answer to their further questioning,

It may well be imagined that tbe Inci dent did not leswn the popularity of the gallant Colonel and his wife. Poor Jim died in the service, and his name, with many othera, is engraved on the beautiful monument in Mesopotamia.

There are several ways ot doing nothing, however. Some people do nothing right, others nothing wrong though it would seem tbat if nothing is good thing to do, one had better do it right than wrong. None of these logi cal deductions somehow get at the re'al mean ng of the word. The only way to realize an acenrate conception of the term, is by oorroborative testimony, and wben nine hundred or one thousand persons contend tor the same d« finition, then it is presumably a corre -t one. A visit to San Quentin and a conversation with eachof tbe in mates settles the ques tion.
