Wmm
? OR ten years tho
old Midget farm
house had stood
empty , the snow
qf winter piling
themselves up
against the
threshold in
January , the
tiny moss pinks
peeping through
the drifts of dead
leaves when the
bland May sun-
shine came ; and when , one day , Capt.
H Ezekiel Midget was seen sitting on a
wooden milking stool , smoking his
pipe , in front of the open door , the
H neighborhood all opent-O.their eyes.
/Jest come back from tho east , "
said Deacon Bobbins.
"Been a-livinJ with pashas and ef-
fendis , " said John Jenks , who had
once heard a lecture on the east.
"Makin' his fortune , I calculate/ '
observed Billy Thaxter.
"Don't look much like it , " said
shrewd Mr. Munday. "He's got on
the very same identicklecoat he wore
when he went away ; I'd know them
horn buttons if I was to see 'em in
Jerusalem. And he hain't refurnish
ed to signify ; and there sutt'nly ain't
been no attempt to mend the broken
fences , nor patch up the stun walls
on the place. "
Capt. Midget had commanded the
Nancy Belle , a fishinjrschoonerwhbh *
cruised from Maine to Florida , and
during one of his voyages he had falll
• en in with the captain of a Turkish *
vessel , and allowed himself to be
tempted into the far regions of the ,
golden east. Q
After that all record ceased , except k
that now and then a rumor floated *
back of the captain's having been seen *
by stray travelers , seated cross-leg- *
ged on a cushion , smoking a prodic
giou3 chibouque , in the companion
ship of turbaned dignitaries and t
salaaming slaves ! 1
But of all this the captain would 3
bear no testimony. 1
"i did stay east a spell , " was all t
that he would say , "but I can't say
1 liked it. "
The captain's favorite niece Lucy
Ostrom , came down from Bidding-
ham to live with him , and settle his r
house. f
" s' "I dont want things no different e
, < ; J from what they be , " said the thank-
less mariner. 3
"Oh , but ycu can't live so , uncle ! " r
said Mrs. Ostrom. "And Nathan
would just as lief come down and live
here , as to work in the shoe factory
at Biddingham. " a
A sharp attack of genuine Connec
ticut rheumatism accentuated Mrs. ( ]
Ostrom's advice , and Capt. Ezekiel a
made no iurther objection to the s
plan.
"Lucy's a good creetur , " said he. n
I "I guess I'll let her have her ownp
It- way. " c
"Uncle , is it true ? " Mrs. Ostrom s
' asked , one day. c
"Is what true ? " retorted the old
man , slowly , rubbing his swelled fint
gers with pine scented liniment. s
"About your having a genuine ?
cashmere shawl that once belonged
to a great begum in Wahwallah , in s
India ? "
"Yes , it's true , " said Capt. Ezekiel. : " /
"Oh , uncle , whsre is it ? " ] i
"I left it in the bonded warehouse
in New York , " answered the old man. a
"AVas it very pretty , uncle ? " 1 ;
"Wal , it wasn't bad to look at. "
Mrs. Ostrom's bright blue eyes v
sparkled.
• 'How I should like to see it ! " t
"Guess likely you would ! " was the c
> drv rpjoinder.
i "Undo ! " ; ,
\ "Wai ? " a
* "What are you going to do with d
, it ? " a
" Capt. Ezekiel screwed up his face. ji
{ . "Wal , I was calculatin' to hev it Q
$ old at auction at Biddinjrham , Fric
r < 3ciy week. " he answered , siowly . "It I
Zi. orterM fetch a deal o' money that
% shawl. It's all sorts o'colors. and t ;
that fine ye can dror it through a h
fi weddin' ring , if so be j'e're a mind
h to. " a
"Dear me ! " said Mrs. Ostrom.
& The fame of the begum's shawl c :
ml. spread all through the place. Every
gi- woman in Bidding Center had some 0
m question to ask , or some statement c
ff to make in regard to it. Not a soul t
t but secretly determiud to put a bid r ,
f • /or the treasure.

"It's too bad you've had such ill
luck this year , Nathan , " said Mrs.
Ostrom , with tears in her eyes. "I'd
ha' liked that 'ere shawl. "
"Well , well , Lucy , 'tain't every
body can have what they want in
this world , " said hones 't Nathan.
But to hfs secret heart he deter
mined to draw his slender balance
out of the Biddingham Savings bank ,
and have a try for the prize coreted
so ardently by his hard worked wife.
Her brother , Squire Samuel Gripps ,
also made the same resolve.
"Lucy shall hev that shawl if uion-
ey'll buy it ! " said he. "She's al
ways wanted a shawl. Mis' Gripps ,
she ' s too short and stout for that
sort of thing , or else I guess she'd
strike for the begum's shawl , too. "
Printed circulars relating the east
ern treasure were tacked up on all
the corner stores and upon the trees
in front oftheschoolhouseschurches
and toll gates , and when at last the
all important day arrived , there was
a crowd almost equal to that which
was wont to assemble on the occa
sion of camp meetings and circuses.
Squire Samuel Gripps had author
ized Bela Smith to bid on his behalf.
Mr. Ostrom , unwilling to be identi
fied by his wife , engaged little Miss
Peck , the dressmaker , to represent
his interests.
Other householders , maidens and
matrons , were" there assembled , each
and all determined to possess them
selves of the scented Oriental treas
ure , which they then beheld for the
first time.
A visible thrill passed through the
throng as Jethro Dumbleby , the vil
lage auctioneer , held up the richly
hued fabric.
"Come , genelmen an ladies , " bawl
ed Jethro , "here's a shawl worn by
the lady of the president o' them
eastern kentries an' worth its weight
in gold ! Here's the Begum Badjee's
shawl ! Look at it feel it. Come ,
genelmen an' ladies , who'll start the
begum's shawl as it orter be start
ed. ( "
"Fifty dollars ! " bawled Dr. Drum-
mond ] , who was supposed to have
made 3 a fortune in natural gas in
Pennsylvania.
"Sixty ! " hoarsely shouted Mr.
Mudge ; , the dry goods man.
"Seventy ! " piped Miss Peck.
"Eighty ! " yelled Bela Smith.
From this the bidding ran up , after
a most spirited fashion , to two
three \ four hundred dollars. There
it i stood for awhile , "until Dr. Drum-
mond , with a desperate effort , raised
it to five hundred. .
Mr. Mudge whispered with his wife ,
and i nodded to the auctioneer to make
it six.
Miss Peck withdrew , in obedience to
a dispirited signal from Mr. Ostrom.
. "Seven hundred" said the squire in
bold ! defiance of Mrs. Gripps' nega
tive ' shakes of the head.
. "Seven hundred and fifty , " said Mr.
Jenkins of Jenkins Hall.
"One thou sand ! " bawled Nico-
demus Slote , a recently prosperous
resident , who had built a rubber fac
tory in the ravine under the hill.
A dead silence fell on all the crowd.
With one accord they stared at Mr.
Slote , who stood there sleek , smooth
shaven and smiling , his hat on the
back of his head , his hands thrustin-
to his pockets Midas in a Nineteenth
century costume.
"One thousand dollars is bid for
this priceless treasure ! " said Jethro
Dumbleby. "Who'll give me more !
It's given away at one thousand dol-
lars , actually given away. I'm
waitin to hear some one say eleven
hundred ? "
Butno oneuttered the magic words.
The begum's shawl was knocked down
to Nicodemus Slote at § 1,000. Its
rich dj'es and sandal wood scented
folds were extinguished in a quaint }
eastern box , fastened together by :
odd ivor3' rings , and carried off by ,
Mr. Slote in a ponderous close car1 1
riage , drawn by two shining horses. ]
"I declare , it is too bad , " said .
Squire Gripps.
Mi * . Ostrom sighed and turned
awaj * .
"A thousand dollars is a thousand
lollars , " said he , "but I would have
admired to see Lucy wearin' of that
shawl , "
Mrs. Slote appeared in church the e
next Sunday wrapped in the historic f
garment. Her strut was that of an
overfed turkey hen : her aquiline nose c
seemed to plow the air like the bow c
of some aerial boat. c
Mrs. Ostrom had on her faded black l
beaver jacket , worn shinny at the ?
. She rather low
seams. was spirited x
nrhen she returned home.
"Mrs. Slote did look lovely in that
shawl , " said she. j
"Humph ! " remarked Mr. Ostrom , \
"I can't fancy Lovisy Slote lookin'c
lovely in anything. " {
"Would you like a shawl , Lucy ? " c
nsked Capt. Ezekiel , looking with a
kindly regard at his niece.
Mrs. Ostrom admitted that she j
tvould. i
The captain went upstairs to his r
trunk , and' brought down a fiat par- \
jel. g
• 'Well , " said he , "here's the ginoo- *
no begum's shawl for you , Lucy ,
r'other shawl was one I got of a
iealer in the Punjee valley no great
lecount , anyway , although I allow
t was cheap at a thousand dollars. r
riiis 'ere's wuth five if it's wuth a t
'ent , and it's the real begum shawl ,
Ldcy , my gal. And it's yourn ! "
Mr. Ostrom put on his spectacles c
o stare at it. Mrs. Ostrom burst
"
"Whv , " criod she , "it's beau-ti-ful ! f
Mrs. Sfote's can't hold a candle to it ! " 11
"I guess not , " shrewdly spoke the "v
aptain. '
And Mrs. Ostrom'B shawl so far
DUtshone Mrs. Slote's , that night at 1
march , that the latter lady went in1
bo violent hysterics as soon as he
eached home. *
"To think o'that Ostrom woman J
L
wearin' a handsomer shawl than
mine ! " said she. t
"I'll hev the law of 'em ! " cried Nic
odemus.
But he did not. His case , as Coun
selor Jenkins informed him , hadn't a
leg to stand on. "
"The one he bought was a begum
shawl safe enough , " said Capt. Eze
kiel , "but it wasn't tho begum's
shawl. I never said it was , did I ? "

Curious Feat of the Wind.
J.R. Love spent Sunday at his farm ,
near Christiana , and it was there that
the incident occurred during the high
wind on Wednesday night , February
12.
Mr. James J. Hodge is a tenant on
Mr. Love's farm and lives with his
four children , one a grown-up daugh
ter , in a little two-room frame house ,
82x17 feet in size. He says that near
midnight he heard the house creaking
like it was aboutto fall to pieces , then
there was ajar and all was still. Tho
children "cried out in alarm , and ho
jumped out of ted to find that the
househad been lifted from its founda
tions by the wind , carried about five
feet beyond them and deposited fiat
upon the ground.
The house was not injured and not
an article in it was broken. A lamp
that was placed on the mantlepiece
was not thrown down.
The next day the neighbors gather
ed and raised the house and placed
the foundation stones under it where
it stood , and the family is still living
there as heretofore.
Tb1 house is a well built little struc-
tint , cei.cd with pine planks. Nash-
ville American.
Bridging the Bosporus.
Encouraged , no doubt , by the sue.J
cess of the bridge across the Forth ,
engineers are now considering the
equally great scheme of a bridge
across the Bosporus , thus connecting
Europe and Asia and their present
and future railway systems. The
Turkish newspaper Hakikat gives
some particulars of this project
apropos of an offer by a French syn-
dicate to build a bridge of 800 meters
in length and 70 meters high between
Boumeli and Anatoli Hissar. The
striking feature of the bridge would
be that it would consist of one span ,
and thus , although of much shorter
length than the Forth bridge , it is l
described as a greater work , because
its single span exceeds in length by 1
one-half the longest span of the *
Forth bridge. The Anatolian rail
way , it is thought , .will makethecon- *
struction of such a bridge a necessary
\ and feasible undertaking before many *
years. St. James' Gazette.

He Saved Her Life.

.
filed . at Westminster , lett § 100 to
Mr. Julius A. Hood , formerly Balc
timore and Ohio telegraph operator ]
at ; Sykesville , now at Mount Airy c
switch. , This money was left to Mr.
Hood to show her appreciation of his !
bravery when he once saved her life ]
at , Sykesville. It was about seven
years ago. Miss Warfield was going .
to Baltimore and had to cros3both J
tracks ] to get to the platform. She z
was in the middle of the east bound ?
track 1 and the passenger train was
coming , along. Mr. Hood was in his c
office , a short distance away and saw s
thedanger. 1 Thetrain was then only 6
about 100 yards away , and she could
not hear it. Mr. Hood ran and
caught her and carried her off the
track. The ongsae came so close to
her that it touched her dress. It was
a very narrow escape , and Mis& °
Warfield often expressed her high s
appreciation of Mr. Hood's bravery.

A Rare Accomplishment.
One ofthe best known society wom

or talk , or do any ofthe clever things P
ofthe day , " she said recently , "but I s
can make more hideous faces and jj
more of them than any person in w
New York , I am certain. Just wateh t
me. " Then she began. On the in
stant a hideously ugly face appearg
ed where the pretty one had been a r :
moment before. Then it Aras sad , ei
then comic , then grotesque , old , o
crooked , wicked , malformed , simper-
injr , everything in a few moments exa
ceptits own natural , sweet self. , o
"It's my one nccomplishment , "she a
said , with a lauirh , as her face settled d
into repose. "I took it up when I was
a young girl just for fun , and the A
amusement it has been to my friends o
has led me to keep it up ever since in w
spite of its lack of dignity. " New t ;

Subduing an Indian.
"An Apache , in full war paint *
stalked into an Indian school at
Albuquerque , New Mexico , one day ,
The children were immediately terri
fied , an tremblingly told us he was a
'bad Indian. ' They said an uncle ol
one of our boj's had killed his broth ,
er , and they feared he had come for
revenge. As ib was dinivtime , I
saw nothing better to dhan to
have the children marched into tho
dining-room , as usual. Wo keep
open house to Indians at all times ,
and treat them as distinguished
guests , so I motioned to our Apacho
to take a seat at tho table. Ho sat
down , terrible in his war paint , and
laid two loaded revolvers before him.
Tho children began to tremble.
"I summoned all my courage and
said , 'Put those revolvers on tho
window. '
"The Apache never moved. The
cook placed before him a cup of cof
fee and a bowl of soup.
" 'Take away that coffee and soup , '
I commanded , with my heart in my
mouth , adding , to the Indian , 'You
shall not have them until j'ou put
those revolvers on the window. '
"Trembling for her life , the cook
obeyed. When the Apache saw his
dinner removed he deliberately rose ,
picked up his revolvers , and shall I
ever forget that terrible moment ?
quietly laid them on tho window.
His dinner was restored to him. He
ate it in silence , and then taking up
his property , walked out without a
word.
"I did not see him again for years.
But this last time , on my way home ,
as I was waiting in the train at Santa
Fe , my terrible Apache , in all his
:
feathers and war paint , got into the
car and walked its whole length , as
if looking for someone. My blood
ran cold. He then left the car and
returned \ with a dozen other braves ,
as J horrible as himself. He introduced
them all , and all , mustshakehands. "
Harriet Phillips , in Philadelphia
Times. '
His Heart Softened.
Thejury in McGregor murder trial
at Warrenton , Ga. , was "hung" by
Juror Baker for four days , says an
Atlanta correspondence of the New
York World. How a final decision
was reached leaked out. Early
Thursday morning a dejected set of
men gathered in the jury-room , Bak
er still holding out firm against ac
quittal.
"Boys , will we ever get out of
here ? " asked one in a despairing
tone of voice.
"I dunno , " replied another. "I've
argued with Baker till I'm sick , and
I've pleaded with him till I'm plum
tired out , " put in another.
"I've cussed until my tongue is
sore , " said a third.
"Boys , " said Mr. Heath , "There is
one thing we haven't tried. We have
never prayed for Baker , "
"That will do no good. Prayers
can never touch the soul of a man
who can take cussin' like he does ,
Prayers will run off him like water
off a duck's back , " was a reply.
"Boys , let's all join Brother Heath
in prayer , " called out the oldest man
in the crowd , as he thought of home
and the joys awaiting him there.
Brother Heath fell on his knees in the
jury-room and prayed. He asked
chat the soul of Baker might be soft-
ned and that he might show pity to
McGregor and his family. Baker was
iryins ; when the prayer ended , and
said he was willing to let McGregor

The Language ofthe Flag.
The black flag is a sign of piracy.
To "strike a flag" is to lower tho
national colors in token of submis
sion.
The yellow flag shows a vessel to
3Q at quarantine , or is the sign of a
contagious disease.
s
Dipping the flag is lowering it t
slightly and then hoisting it again to j
salute a vessel or fort. 2
A "flag of truce" is a white flag dis- \
olayed to an enemy to indicate a de- '
sire for a parley or consultation.
A flag : at half-mast means mourn- ,
ng. Fishing or other vessels return *
vith a flag at half-mast to announce
ihe loss or death of some ofthe men.
If the president ofthe United States
oes afloat the American flag is ear
ned in the bow of his barge or hoist-
id at the main ofthe vessel onboard
t which he is. I
The red flag is a sign of defiance
jnd is often used by revolutists. In
mr service it is a mark of danger , f
vnd shows a vessel is receiving or
lischarging her powder. „ s
The white flag is a sign of peace.
i.fter a battle parties from both sides "
ften go out to the field to rescue the :
vounded and bury the dead under J
he protection of a white flag.
Flags are used as the symbol of
ank and command , the officers us-
ng them being called flag officers ,
such flags are square to distinguish
ihein from other banners. a
