Three Persons Held for the Killing of

Coroner Taylor, of Fayette county,
held an inquest Tuesday on the body of
Jesse Harper, who was shot by Blaine
Kittle at No 11 Leisering two months
i ago. The jury returned a verdict hold-i
ing William Rhone and Blaine Kittle as
principals and Mrs William Rhone as
an accessory to the crime.
Harper was a negro and was living
I with Mrs Kittle, who is white. The
two quarreled and Blaine Kittle, a son
of the woman, went to the house of
j William Rhone, where he secured a re
volver, returned and shot Harper
through the body. Kittle, who is only
10, then fled and has not yet been nppre
bended. After the killing Mrs. Kittle
and her daughters were sent to the
Fayette county home where they are
now living.
Mrs. Nicola Gallo Caught Almost Red-Handed Setting Fire to John A.
Stevenson’s Coal House and is Now In Jail.
MRS. LOUIS SABBARESE RELEASED ON BAIL.
The hearing in the case of Mrs. Louis Sabbarese, the Italian
woman charged with having tired the John A. Stevenson vacant
warehouse building which burned to the ground last Wednesday,
was held before Justice McWilliams Friday morning last. While
the defendant swore that she had not been nearer the scene of the
tire that day than her own home, one witness for the prosecution
testified to having seen her come out of the alley leading from the
old warehouse shortly before the alarm was given. Another wit-ness
swore to having seen Mrs. Sabbarese pouring something
around the weather-boarding from an oil can. Justice McWilliams
reserved his decision and as he couldn’t take bail for arson the
defendant had to go to j til. Mr. McWilliams decided on Monday
to hold tier for court. The court then fixed the amount of her
hail at $1,00(1, on which she was at once released.
The burned building wasoue of the stoutest frame structures in
the town, having been built about half a century ago by A. Over-holt
& Co., tint West Overton distillers, who used it to store their
whiskey and Hour in until shipments by wagon could be made to
both eastern and western points. Of late years the big building
had been used by the owner, Mr. Stevenson, for tenement purposes,
although at the time of the lire il was entirely vacant
Mrs. Frances Gallo, the Polish wife of the well known old
Italian tailor who now lives in a small house on the rear of John
It. Walker’s property, close to the ruins of the warehouse, was ar-rested
Monday by Constable Thompson and, as the result of a
hearing before the same justice, was sent to jail at Greeusburg
charged with having twice attempted to burn Mr. Stevenson’s con 1
house. She set the place on tire Sunday morning, but the Haines
j were discovered and put out before any damage was doue. A
watch was then placed ou the building and she was seen to make
! the second attempt about 11 o'clock Monday morning when her
I arrest followed.
The prisoner is undoubtedly weak minded and she is looked
upon generally its having been a mere tool for more cunning
minds. Fires, however, seem to have followed the Gallos, for, it
can be recalled that when the Braddoek block burned they lived
in tiie rear of it. The same can be said of the tires at the National
Hotel stables, Bob Goodman's chicken coop. Miss Flora Duncan's
property and the old warehouse. When about to be locked iu her
cell Mrs. Gallo told Constable Thompson that she would make a
clean breast of the whole matter at the proper time.

He resides near Laurelville and is a
prominent resident of that part of Fay-ette

A PLUCKY GIRL.
She Escapes From a Burly Negro Assail-ant
at Uniontown.
At Uniontown Friday night as Miss
Tillie Ham, a saleswoman, was
going to her home, she was followed by
a large colored man, who sprang upon
her and threw one arm about her neck
and with the other hand closed her
mouth and prevented her from scream-ing.
He attempted to drag her to a back
street but she resisted vigorously and
he struck her twice in the face, threat-ening
to kill her if she made any out-cry.
She still fought her assailant and
finally got loose from him and escaped
to a neighbor’s, minus her hat, with her
clothes torn and hair disheveled.
The alarm was given and officers
searched nearly all night, but could not
find the man. Miss Harn says if she
had not bad her gloves on she would
have whipped him. Her face is bruised
and scratched, and her plucky fight is
the talk of the town.

PHASES

in fhr Wisconsin Normal School.
VIU.—Nascent Periods; Doll
Play.
fiPlTlIOTIT the example
and the suggestion
of others few gil'la
would play doll, hui
without n native irn-kind
the example and
on barren
two forces
pulse of some
suggestion would fall
ground. Where these
meet and fructify we have the nas-cent
period for doll play. The doll Is for the child mainly a means of repre-sentation.
It affords him an opportunity for imitation and thus of realization
of experience which coiSd not otherwise be obtained. Mr. Kills shows that
within the doll period solid dolls are preferred at the beginning, but toward
the end of the period paper dolls arc much more in demand. The facts show
that these latter are desired, among other reasons, because they are easier of
manipulation. They may be manufactured quickly, and a greater number
may he used. These features appear to be advantageous because by means of
them more complex representations can be carried out.
It has been customary for adults to refer the girl’s doll play to the instinct
of motherhood. Dr. Harris repeats this notion and says that girls give up play-ing
with dolls when they do because of the approach of puberty and with it
the emotion of shame. The girl begins to feel the unsat isfactoriness of a mere
symbol of a baby because she is able to desire more intensely the reality.
Rut, as Mr. Ellis’ carefully collated observations show, girls play all kinds
of things besides mother and baby with dolls. Cross teacher is a favorite game.
Actual dolls are not absolutely necessary. A row of buttons will do for the
Children and a bigger one for the teacher. At other times the child uses her-self
or other children, animals, etc., for some of the characters. This runs into
forms where dolls are dispensed with.
Any event whieh is striking to the child is represented by means of dolls.
Sickness, death and funerals are very common. The problems of the future
life are not neglected. After being killed and buried, dolls are dug up to
see if they have gone to heaven. President Stanley Ilall gives a ease
where children had tied one big doll to the gaselier. This doll was called
the god doll. When tlielr other dolls died, they were given one loss upward.
If they touched the god doll, they went to heaven; If not, they went to the
other place. Dolls are by uo means always babies. They are quite frequent-ly
about the same age as the person who plays with them and are often
supposed to he grown up. Colored dolls are also frequent with white chil-dren
and militate against the exclusiveness of the motherhood idea.
Tljc range of complexity of the matters represented by means of dolls is
only limited by the experience and imagination of the children. The present
writer collected a number of plays with dolls, which are very significant for the
educator. The following may he cited as an example: Children of about the
a£o of 11 used to play doll in an attic, especially on rainy days. Here they
hiid a number of stands and tables. On one of these they had black dolls
out out of paper. This was Africa. On another they had Chinese dolls painted
with gayly colored clothing. From their parents they obtained tea and rice,
which were laid on the table. On another stand they had tattooed savages,
representing south sea islanders. They made ships of paper and carried the
products of one country to another. Missionaries landed on the south sea
islands and were duly killed and eaten up. They read all they could about
these countries and wearied their parents with questions. During all this
time they never once thought of asking their teacher for Information, al-though
she was teaching geography at the time. She was occupied largely with
the definition of continents, Islands, etc. She also concerned herself much
with (he boundaries of states and their capitals. As for the geography and
history, the economics, the literature and the art work involved in the chil-dren's
doll play, these wore not shown on lie course of study. The children
showed ordinary common sense In not going to her for information or for
help.
Children’s doll play reveals almost everything they are thinking about.
They whisper secrets to them; they show by their treatment of them their
real feelings as to right and wrong, justice, punishments, ole. By moans of
them they objectify their own inner states and make internal (heir outer
observations. This is all done in the most concrete manner possible. It is
no abstract representation. Movements and bodily feelings arc called into play
as well as reactions of a more intellectual order. Doll play, in fact, from a
brain standpoint, is a means of transition from the preponderant activity of
the kina-stlietic regions, connected with the bodily movements and feelings
characteristic of the earlier years to that of 1lie associational regions neces-sary
for complete human development.
Doll play thus means the coming in of wide trains of imaging, which at
first arc not easily controlled without some other sensation. The child puts
a big button down for the cross teacher. The imagination paints this figure
for a little while and then goes on to the smaller buttons. The child is now
free to pay complete attention in this direction. If the buttons were not
there, it would happen at this stage, with ft narrow memory span, that the
first image or train of images about the teacher would be forgotten.
Rut now, coming 1o the end of the second train of images, she sees the big
button before her eyes. Slie is immediately brought back to the first image
and can go on with it, modifying it in every direction. The buttons have been
the means of her organizing or holding together a larger range of images or of
increasing her power to pay attention or to grasp a wide assemblage of events.
This synthotizing power is essential in a properly developed human being, and
the long period of childhood would bean advantage in the struggle for exist-ence
if tins alone were gained.
It ma.v be said that the teacher, when she braces her pupils in their scats,
suppresses every movement and focuses attention to the minutest circle
possible, is attempting to do something of the same kind. This may be possible
in the upper grades, but within the nascent period for doll play nature has a
better way. Slie begins with the movements1 and bodily sensations and out of
them develops somewhat irregularly and by fits and starts the higher nsso-ointional
centers, which means the manipulation of wider trains of images.
Always some of the dolls or buttons are kept in motion and are being con-stantly
felt and bandied as well as seen and thought about. If there are gaps
in the train of images, as is natural, those are filled up with movements and
bodily sensations. There is then the largest possible synthesis, since all
these things are connected in one experience and not divided as in ordinary
recitations, The personal perception of the body, which means sensation, will
power, health and energy, is not sacrificed. Automatisms and other signs of
fatigue do not appear. Double personality Is not encouraged. The Intellec-tual
imaging is carried on the surface of a healthy emotional condition.
Growth is made possible, since the roots as well as the leaves are allowed to
live.
These partial experiences are made much more complete when they are
acted out, but since many of these require also the co-operation of others,
which is not obtainable when needed, a substitute is found which is controlla-ble—
namely. representation in miniature by means of dolls. The Irritating
desires caused by or identical with these dammed up images arc thus radi-ated
and discharged. Doll play is a movement toward a more complete ex-perience,
and it succeeds because it docs not suppress, but liberates and
synthetizes, energy.
In its more general aspects it is, of course, evident that doll play is sim-ply
typical of many other forms of play into which the intellectual and so-cial
element enters to any extent.
A complete psychological history of the child would give us a detailed ac-count
of thousands of such nascent periods as those already mentioned. They
would overlap one another in every imaginable way, as they actually do in
life. Their discovery and analysis would give us the keys by which we
eouid bring to bear at the proper time the most suitable environment for the
mental and moral nutrition of the child. Time would be saved and in-jury
avoided, for we would uo longer be in danger of working on immature
capacities nor of neglecting others until their period of growth has passed by
forever. What au advantage, for example, it would be if instead of need-ing
to support a compulsory education; department we had a child study ac-count
of this problem of truancy and vagabondage which would reveal its
nascent period and display the desires and images which make up the mental
condition of the truant, the signs by wbicU these are indicated and the
means by which they may be radiated and discharged or made part of a com-pleter
form of living.
The child of the present day and the savage child were probably alike in
•ne respect—they were both most thoroughly impressed each by his own en-vironment.
It takes very little sense of proportion to see that the modern
home is to the modern child what the ancient wigwam was to the savage
child. The child of the stone age did not probably banker after a period 500,-
000 years before his time. Why should the modern child do so either?
The theory Is really a piece of mysticism and derived from a course of
study standpoint rather than from the natural interests of the child. This Is
not. however, saying that children have no interest in history nor that building
wigwams, making pottery, etc., arc not a great improvement on what formerly
occupied the ground. These occupations are after all a form of play. The
difficulty is that they have half the life taken out of them by being predestined
by the teacher. By this conduct the teacher robs the children of a consid-erable
part of the motor side of life and lessens their opportunities for find-ing
themselves a cause. Moreover, by compelling sotm children to make pot-tery,
e, g., who would rather do something else she also loses that variety
which Is essential to any concrete 'realization of life or satisfactory organiza-tion
of society.

IRRITABLE WOMEN
Should be Pitied — Not Blamed —
Men Don’t Understand How They
Suffer When They Cry, “ Oh, Don’t
Speak to Me.”
All maimer of extravagant expressions are possible when a woman’s
nerves are overwrought.
The spasm at the top of the wind pipe or bronchial tubes, “ball
rising in the throat,” violent beating of the heart, laughing anil crying
by turns, muscular spasms (throwing the arms about), frightened by the
most insignificant occurrences—are all symptoms of a hysterical condi-tion
and serious derangement of the female organs.
Any female complaint may produce hysterics, which must he re-garded
as a symptom only. The cause, however, yields quickly to
Lydia 13. Pinlthain’s Vegetable Compound, which acts at once upon
the organ alUicted aud the nerve centres, dispelling effectually all those
distressing symptoms.

As Judged From the Past Week's
f Trade Reports
WHEN CAREFULLY COMPILED
FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF READ-ERS
OF THE JOURNAL.
Some Time AKO it Was Feared That the
Injury Done the Corn Crop Would
Cripple the Railroade By the LOHB of
Tonnage, But Scarcity of Cnre Haa De-moralized
Numerous Industries. The
Demand for all Classes of Merchandise
Continues Healthy.
A few months ago injury to the corn
crop aroused feara that the railroads
would be seriously handicapped by the
loss of tonnage, yet the season of grain
•• traffic has not only failed to produce de-creased
enmities, bnt there is such a
scarcity of rolling stock and motive
power that numerous industries are
badly demoralized. In so far as these
interests are concerned, the reduction
, in corn freight proves a blessing. Rail
way earnings in October were 11.3 per
cent greater than last year and 81.2 per
cent over IS!)!), while those road report
inR for the first week of November show
an average gain of !).S per cent.
A healthy demand is reported through-out
the country in all leading lines of
merchandise, while sales of wintergoods
have attained normal proportions and
holiday business promises to surpass nil
records. In manufacturing there was
never before such well-sustained activ l
ity, with contracts running past the
^ middle of next year.
This is especially true in the case of!
steel rails and many other products of
iron, while in building material, felt, j
footwear and most textile branches
there is little prospect of idleness !
Money circulates freely, making eollec-1
tions satisfactory in most sections.
Hank exchanges in New Kork for the
week were 8 H per cent, larger than a
year ago and 32.1 per cent, over IHiMi,
while at other leading cities the gains
were 10.2 and It.2, respectively.
Unprecedented conditions in the iron
and steel industry are shown by the* sta-tistics
of pig iron on November 1. ns
published by the Iron Age. Furnaces
in blast were producing at the late of
820,824 tons weekly, which far surpasses
i all previous records. With a production
of 10,000 tons weekly above the previous
top point it might be expected that sup
plies would increase or at least remain
stationary. On the contrary, furnace
stocks on November I were 27)1,251 tons,
or much less than a single week's out
|mt nrnl a decrease of 88,342 tor the
month of October. Carrying the com
parison back a year gives an idea of tbe
marvelous strides made in this industry.
Since November. 1800, the weekly cap
acity of furnaces in blast has increased
from 215,304 tons to 320,824, while fur-nace
stocks have declined from 041.400
to 275,281 tons. Yet there has been no
inflation of prices, and the speculative
element is entirely lacking, a sign that
no disastrous collapse is to be feared.
While shipments of footwear from
Boston eontinnefarin excess of previous
years and factories are well employed,
the situation is not satisfactory. Prices
are not maintained at a profitable point
vowing to the phenomonal strength of
material and the stubborn resistance of
buyers
Print cloths at Fall River are quiet,
recent unusual events having produced
a tendency to await developments.
Both buyers and sellers made sufficient
concessions on the brown goods to se
cure large export sales. Further gains
are recorded in woolens, business reach-ing
the best of the season.
Failures for the week were 216 in the
United States, against 217 last year, and
and 27 in Canada, against 33 last year.

it’s not every American girl that
can boast of having a real brigand for a
lover. The captive, if we are to judge
of her looks by the euls of her in the
daily press a by no means sale rule to
follow, we must admit has reached the
age that is drawing well toward the old
maid line. Then. Miss Stone is a mis-sionary
by choice and reforming a man
of Peka Pashas wild ways would be
quite a feather in her lint. The brigand
chieftain should press his suit.

ADMIRAL SCHLEY’S MISFORTUNt .
Now that the Schley court of inquiry
at Washington has closed its public
hearings and is preparing its verdict, il
is said the distinguished claimant, who
hopes to thus have his record as n naval
officer cleared, finds that every cent ot
$211,001), which he had expected to leave
lo his family, in addition to all the
prize money which he will get for his
partin the Spanish American war, some
$5,00(1, has been spent on the inquiry
Financially the admiral is worse off
than he was almost half a century ngo
when he entered the naval academy.
As a retired Rear Admiral the gov-ernment
will give him $5,625 a year HH
long as he lives, hut the money with
which he had hoped to assure the com-fort
of his wife, should anything happen
to him. is gone.
The suggestion that the next Congress
should appropriate money to reimburse
him for his court expenses is an excel
lent one. But, even if this should not
he done, the unfortunate admiral need
have no fears, for, his host of American
admirers would never permit those
who are near and dear to him to want
for anything.
ENGLAND IS tiOOl) NOW.
The new treaty between this country
and England was signed Monday last
without any formality to mark the cere-mony.
Secretary of State Hay signed
for the United States, while the British
ambassador at Washington, Lord
Panncefote performed a like service for
Great Britain. The text of the treaty
will probably not be made public until
it is sent to the senate for confirmation,
but its provisions, according to the best
information obtainable, are:
Unconditional abrogation of the Clay-ton
Bulwer treaty of 1850, by which the
United States and Great Britain agreed
that neither would obtain nor maintain
exclusive control over an inter-oceanic
canal; guarantee of neutrality in timo
of peace by the United States; the
United States at liberty to avail itself
of its reserved rights and close the canal
against the ships of any nation with
which it may he at war; the United
Sliiles to have the exclusive right to
control, maintain and defend the canal;
fortifications, which were not permiss-ahle
under the former treaty, allowed,
if desired. No ratification by or ml
Iterance to the terms of the treaty by
foreign nalioiis. no discrimination in
the matter of tolls in favor of the
United Slates; no consideration given
by the United States in return for the
abrogation of the Clayton Bulwer
treaty.
It is understood that all of the prin
eiples for which the senate contended
when the first May Panncefote treaty
was rejected by that body have been
conceded by Great Britain. Upon the
whole, indeed. John Bull's behavior in
the matter has been of the most fair
and decent order.
Tlll’.liK are doubtless many things for
which you should give special thanks

Indian
Girl’s Cruel
Revenge
O i Her
Cowboy
Lover
A rcninrk.'ibli* sior.v Is that which
♦ernes from Oklahoma. It Is Hint of
the cruel revenue of an Indian inniden
fin her cowboy lover. For three days
she kept him bound to stakes on the
desert viiilll at last death ennie to ids
relief.
The cowboys on the Bix X ranch in
rile Kiowa, anil Comanche Iniliau res-ervations
near Darlington, In the In-dian
Territory, have been iu the habit j
of going over lo the Indian villages in !
the evenings and taking the young
women out horseback riding.
Willis Andale was a young easterner
who had gone out to Oklahoma for ad-venture
and to improve his health, lie
was extremely handsome and had a
flashing, daring manner that appealed
to women.
Anna Kildeer was an extremely good
-looking Comanche girl, and the Co-elm
girls are about the host look-
Indittu maidens.
Andale paid marked attention
to Ai. lie took her riding every
■cveningVand under the great golden
moon tlitat hung low over the endless
plains of (Ailahoma lie told her tlie soft,
sweet nothings that a man is expected
to say when sitting on (lie veranda of
the summer resort hotel at night. It
scorns' that he is not expected to say
them in the (jpmanche country.
Andale was greatly surprised when
his friends, tlmjpther cowboys, told him
that Anna Kildeer had fallen desper-ately
iu love with him and flint she
would expect liiiff lo marry her. An
dale immediately rode over lo Anna's
home and took her out for a ride. Then
he told her that lie lipd not meant what
he said and that he, had not thought
she was taking what he said in earnest.
“Oh, you love me.” said tlie Indian

Suddenly Andale fell a noose falling

pinioned. Another noose fell about
litis neck. The girl reached over and
drew the bridle rein and stopped the
horse. Site alighted and. pulling the

to the ground. She took a longer rope
and bound him the more securely and
then dragged him over the ground until
she ctimc lo some stakes that she had

She carefully fastened the hands and
feet of the cowboy to those stakes so

The cowboy laughed nt the girl at

phantom ships that are enough lo make

when two
mysterious peo-ple,
whom none
in tho village had ever seen before,
came hurriedly aboard and secured pas-sage.
They wore a young man and
woman of strange but forbidding beau-ty.
The ship was detained so long by
adverse winds that the townspeople be-gan
to suspect witchcraft and prophe-sied
disaster. Hut the skipper jeered
at tlieir fears, and when the wind
changed put out to sen on Friday morn-ing.
No word or sign of Unit sit ip or its
living freight was ever heard or seen
again. But later that same year in-coming
vessels reported having met a
crnlt with shining hull and luminous
spars and stills spinning along with
every cloth drawing in the teeth of one
of the wildest of gales. A crew of
skeletons manned tho ship, while on
the quarter deck stood, arm in nrm, a
handsome pair, a young man and a

C BUCK’S tNDISCKETION. APTAIN BEAUMONT hurt nr-t'lvetl
But a few minutes Before
us anil when we appeared was
attempting to reassure Jack,
who hail completely collapsed at litill-ing:
that both Helen and I had disap-peared.
Hu went to Helen and politely
offered to assist liur to alight.
“We must move out of this at once,”
I said. “All depends upon our getting
down the mountain and into some
tawn, where these villains will not
dare follow tis. All stay here while I
recomioiter.”
1 had not dismounted, and spurred
«i.y horse a few hundred yards west-ward.
where 1 paused oil tlie verge of
Hie plateau. The sun was rising at my
buck and was pouring a flood of light
•n tin* lowlands a thousand feet below.
I swept my eye over the rolling Helds

hamlets and many a fair planta-tion.

we had so nearly caught the day be-fore.
now on their way hack to join
tiie main force. I longed for a speak-ing
trumpet sonorous enough to reach
them, hut there was no hope for us
now in them, and I brushed away ills
appointment and made a survey of the
ground directly before me nothing lint
steep incline, so thickly wooded that
tiie character of the ground was com-pletely
hidden. On either hand was a
mountain spur, between which ran a
creek. I hesitated I 'tween taking one
of these spurs and following the Lied
of tiie creek. On the spurs we might
be seen; by the creek we would lie con-waled
under tiie trees. I decided in
favor of tiie latter. Returning to camp,
I informed tiie party of my decision.
“Will yon join us. Captain Beau-mont?”
I asked.
“I’ve been limiting fo’ yo’ all fo’
days.” replied tiie captain, looking at
Jack. "Now I’ve found yo’. I’m not
likely to part witli yo’! Together we
can whip the guerrillas.”
“Not a dozen of them. Besides, we’ve
had enough of that.”
“What are you going to do with the
horses?" asked Helen.
“Mount tiie ladies,” suggested the
captain.
"Thank yo’.” observed Jack, "hut 1
don’t care to ride oil a horse with ills
pose pointing to China and his tail at
the stars."
“No one could ride a horse over such
a route," said I. "I’ll take care of the
stock."
I tethered them in the little pocket
we were leaving, knowing that they
were less likely to betray our where-abouts
to our enemies there than if 1
turned them loose.
“They'll starve," Jack remonstrated.
"1 can't help it."
“They shall not!"
“Come, we have no time to lose.”
But Jack set about collecting what
little grass was to be had and piling it
before them. The captain, seeing her
determination, was soon on liis knees
gathering grass and throwing it In her
apron
"1 hope the delay will not cost us our
lives." 1 grumbled. “Now. (linger, I
want you to go off to the right just as
far as you can and still keep me in
sight. Buck, you go to the left and do
the same. But keep close, for it won't
do for us to call to each other.”
“Jack can make all sorts o’ noises—
«ats. an owls an birds—so yo’ c-au’t tell
’em." Buck volunteered.
“Good! We umy have occasion to
pse her. You girls keep behind about
the same distance as our flankers.
When we get to the creek. Ginger is to
work down it on the right bank. Buck
•n the left, while I keep as near the

will you act as rear guard?”
“With pleasure, sir.”
“lie'll go to sleep,” remarked .luck,
“and be left behind.”
“Not with you in front,” said the cap-tain.
looking at her reproachfully.
1 gave the order to move. Making as
little noise as possible, keeping each
•tlier in sight, except occasionally
whea the trees and underbrush were
too thick, we proceeded to the brow of
Hie plateau. Descending, we soon
struck, the creek and, under cover of
tlte trees, proceeded downward in open
•rder, walking rapidly, keeping a sharp
ookout ahead and on the flunks. We
tad not gone far before an owl booted
teliind me, and so natural was the cry
that, bad I not been expecting it, I should
■ever have suspected it to have come
from the throat of Jaqueline. Turn-ing,
I saw botli girls pointing upward.
On the very edge of the declivity and
not far from where we had begun our
descent a man was looking down from
the plateau. We were so protected
that ho could not see us, for, besides
being among tiie trees, we were in
comparative shadow, while the man
above stood out boldly in tiie light. lie
did not look like a guerrilla, but we
hurried on.
Discovering a great advantage in
Jack’s signals, I called in the flankers
ami the rearguard and arranged with
them that Jack was to travel with me
as trumpeter. The hoot of an owl
would mean “hide.” a woodpecker's
rapping “rally on the center,” tiie notes
of a thrush "lake a back truck,” a hen's
cackling “push forward in haste.”
These signals being perfectly under-stood.
we opened again ami advanced
like a central sun and satellites.
We had made the principal part of
the descent, when, coming to a conven-ient.
spot. I ordered a halt for rest, feel-ing
a confidence that 1 had not felt
since iny abduction—a confidence I
should not have yielded to, for we were
yet far from safety. The place of our
halt was a delightful angle in tiie
stream we were following. Jack stroll-ed
away in sonreli of wild flowers and
wns soon joined by Captain Beaumont,
whose infatuation prevented him from
thinking of aught else, even our com-mon
danger. Buck stretched himself
under a short mountain oak, clasped
ids hands miller his bend, threw one
leg over the bout knee of the other and
looked straight up into the branches.
Helen am! I were thus left alone. We
silt down on the bank of the creek in
view of the bubbling stream. Taking
a slender stick in her hand, Helen be-gan
to thrash the water. 1 saw that
she was troubled, and I knew the
cause. The harrier between us. which
in a moment of intense excitement had
faded out of sight, now loomed up
again as ominously as ever. We sat
without speaking. Jack and the cap-tain
were chatting briskly, every now
and again speaking loud enough for us
to hear some word that told of the cap-tain's
enthrallment. The silence be-tween
Helen and myself grew painful.
1 could say nothing to break the spell.
I could hut mutely express what 1 felt.
Beaching out, I took her hand atid
drew her to me.
A shot!
Looking upward to the plateau, I saw
a horseman dashing off to the spur
north of us, whose ridge led to the level
ground we were approaching, it was
plain that we had been discovered, that
the shot was a signal and the horseman
was going to head ns off.
Tiie trouble had all come from Buck.
I have no doubt we should have given
the guerrillas tiie slip hud it not been

for his folly. There are certain idio-syncrasies
in hoys that are as imtural
to them ns for a duck to swim or a rob-in
to fly. Unfortunately, at a critical
moment Buck encountered an incident
that called out one of these idiosyncra-sies.
Gazing into the branches of tin*
tree under which he lay. he ('spied a
bird's nest. Unluckily, he noticed that
a rock which admitted of a gradual as-cent
stood directly under the tree.
Climbing the rock, lie made his way
among tiie branches and. leaning far
out where the bright sun could shine
directly on him, grasped for the treas-ure.
Onr enemy, who was at tlie time
watchiug from tiie plateau, discovered
him.
Calling the party together, 1 gave the
order to push forward: not that there
seemed to he any object in doing so,
for we must expect to meet our pursu-ers.

could not stay where we were. Be-sides.
motion would tend to pull to-gether
the faculties of the party, every
one of whom was appalled at this re-lapse
into tiie frightful dangers they
had so long endured, though Captain
Beaumont showed only irritation at
having his tete-a-tete with Jack inter-rupted.
We had not gone far before we struck
a path running parallel with the creek,
which led us to a hamlet on a road
leading north and south. There were
but half a dozen houses in the place,
including a small country store and a
blacksmith shop. Before entering the
town we consulted as to what we
should do.
“Get horses,” I proposed, “if there Is
time.”
“Or a horse and wagon.” said Helen.
“I reckon we better hide,” wns Buck’s
proposition.
“Let's get clothes,” suggested Jack,
“and dr-ws up like village people.”
1 looked at Helen. Jack’s proposi-tion
appeared to strike her with tiie
same force It struck me. Of all things
the guerrillas would expect us to do,
disguising ourselves and going about
the town as If we belonged there would
be the last
“Done!” I said as we entered the
place. “Scatter. Tell the Deonle tiie
guerrillas are after us. anil they’ll help
us. We’ll have from It) to 15 minutes
to prepare.”
CHAPTER XX.
W A MASQUERADE. HAT became of tiie others 1
did not nttempt to discover.
I made straight for the
blacksmith shop and found
a smith at Ills forge.
"My good man." I said, “I’m followed
by guerrillas. They’ll lie in the town
In a few minutes. Can't you give me
your clothes nml let me take your place j
at the forge?”
He stood with Ids hand on the hnn- ;
die of tiie bellows looking nt me while
what 1 said was slowly making its way
through Ids skull.
"Weel, noo,” he said nt last.
“Scotch—I knew it. I'll he taken be-fore
I can make him understand.” Then
to him, "Do you want to save me from
death by guerrillas?”
“Certain, moil.”
“Then take off that apron and give It
to me at once. Not a moment to lose.”
At tIiis Juncture the desperate posi-tion
I was in entered his bruin, and lie
worked quickly enougli once he real-ized
what was wanted. I saw a wool-en
shirt, well begrimed, hanging on a
nail and. seizing it, put it on. Then !
took the smith's apron, rolled up my
sleeves, smeared my arms with cinders
and looked into a hit of broken mirror
resting against the wooden wall to ob-serve
the effect. I was disappointed to
see that my face belied my calling.
“Your razor!” I exclaimed to the
blacksmith.
He went through a door leading from
the shop to Ids dwelling and returned
with a razor, soap and hot water. In
live minutes 1 had shorn my heard,
leaving a dark stubble: then, seizing a
Im11<1 fill of coke, rubbed out every re-filled
lineament. Taking another look
at myself, I was pleased to see that my
own mother would not know me. Seiz-ing
tiie handle of tiie bellows, 1 began
to blow vigorously.
“Weel, weel," laughed the black-smith,
“ye mak’ a better lo’kiu smith
than geeiitlonmn.”
"Play your own part well.” I replied,
“and 1 have something nice for you at
the end of the performance.”
It was fully 15 minutes after we
readied the hamlet before there were
any signs of the guerrillas, and then
three or four rode into tin* town and
asked for our party. Had they seen
ns? Which way had we gone? and oth-er
questions. which the few people they
met responded to with a grunt or a
shake of the head. I put my head out
to see and. recognizing one of them,
drew hack and began to blow my bel-lows
as if my life depended on it. And
it did. Presently one of the outlaws
rode up to the shop.
"llello. tliar!" he shouted.
“Waal.” I replied, still blowing and
keeping my face turned from him.
"Seen a man. two women, a boy an
a nigger go through the town?”
“Halu’t seen no one.”
“Sim’?”
“Sbo’ ntiff."
He rode off. but 1 knew tiie storm
had not yet blown over. I went on
working the bellows, and it was well
1 did so, for presently more of the hand
rode into town, and one of tiie horses
having lost a shoe, its rider dismounted
in front of the shop and told me to put
It on.
This was something I had uot count-ed
on. 1 knew no more about horse-shoeing
than about knitting, but I put
a bold face on the matter and went to
work.
“What tiie yo* doln?” yelled tiie
man. "Air yo' goln ter put that shoe
on with nary trluimiu?"
"Don't yo' s'pose 1 know my busi-ness?"

With that I seized a knife and began
to cut. But I was too excited to pure
the hoof eveu if I had been an expert,
and in another moment Hie man yelled
again. "l!f yo’ cut that critter's lioof

‘‘Here. Sandy.” I cried to the black-smith

wns in command. A negro boy was
playing “hopscotch” on the sidewalk.
The captain called to him:

“Dey's gwine light 'loug dar.” And
he pointed lo a path leading across the
road westward.
"Here, you,” cried the captain to two
men who were watering their horses
at a wooden trough In front of the
shop, "strikeout on that path.”
The men darted away, leaving the
eaptain alone in the road. A little old
woman came out of a house opposite
and began to guy him in a cracked
voice, poking fun nt him for not being
tilde to catch a party of women. She
talked so familiarly with him that 1
began to suspect she knew him. I
trembled for fear she would betray us.
"You uus ain’t wo'th a persimmon,”
she said. "With them critters’ legs un-der

“We'll catch ’em easy enough. They’ve
gone along tlinr,” pointing to the path
his men were just dashing Into.
