by name. The three men were mnrchlng n
A band of thirty. who , three flays after ttio
hattie , were being forwnrded by Colonel
flawdon to Cbnreston ) , nnI 'when they
thought of the dungeon awniting them there
their henna were heavy , for the stories of
the sniforings flfl(1 deaths In the lontliesonie
place were current among the whigs of
south Caroilna.
The band of prlsoncrs had Just entered
Ofl ft lonely road which led through a
forcst , and grateful for the cooling shM
on that hot. day guards end prisoners alike
halted for a rest.
Young John Starke. who hal been wounled
In the thigh and liati pluckily continued on
the march for fear of worse evil if he fell
out of the ranls , turned anti looked upon
the men In the company , and the sight was
not one to cheer him. Borne of the pris-
micra were true-hearted men , but many
vere horse thieves , s'lio lint ! refused to give
the British the first opportunity ot buying
their plunder for a trifle , and as a conse-
quence had been numbered among the trans.
gressors , Outlaws nn4 esporatc cbarnc.
: ters were there , nnd along with ( lie prison-
rn s of war cro all consigned to the Charleston -
ton dungeons.
Nor did ii. glance at the band of redcoats -
coats tend to soothe the fceliiigs of John ,
for many of theni were notorious tories
and desperadoes , and he know that they
WOUI(1 flot hesitate at anything to obey the
orders they had received. Truly his sltua-
tion as a desperate one , niitl with a heavy
hcart lie snIl to Captain L'ctcr : 'Not very
niuch hope here , is there , captain ? "
"No , " replied [ 'eter hincot briefly.
' 11's flawdon's vay , I gucss , ' dra'led
the Yankee Simon. 'llc's growii tired of
hniiglng and shooting helpless men and ho
tiiitiii by sending 'ciii in to the Charleston -
ton ( htlflgCOfl he'll do just as vehl anti save
himself nil the trouble. It'll be the same
thing in thio cud , "
"They say there is lots of smallpox among
u
the Charleston prisoners , " said John.
"And they say truly , " replied Voter.
'They don't halt ( coil the men and with
the smallpox and fever auni foul air they
don't have to look after any of the men
very long. "
"It saves time and money and guards.
I guess , " drawled Simon again. "I don't
miuIl seebi' 'ciii ecouioinlcai. It's what I
iSdiS brought iii ) to ho myself. "
John hooked quickly at the aid soldier ,
but lila face was expressioniess , Ito could
not tell whether his lniilfft'icnco was realer
or assumed , but whatever the cause John
hail little sympathy with it. For himself
lie was afraid , and the Pro3Pect of unterluig
! the ihiingt'oue at Chiurlestouu was almost niore
than lie could bear. Already ho could see
in lute the sight of the pi1e , cuffering
men confined there , no.1 all the stories ho
had heard of the foulnc'u , disease ruid death
came back to hlni. lie could not repress a
shudder as hue turned again to Captain
l'etcr and said : "Is there no hope ? Can't
'we nmke a. break and get out of this ? \Ve'tl
better be eliot than die Iho death we'll have
to at Charleston. " Ills companion inad no
J reply , except to glance cxprosivehy at the
guard , tint ? John , too , was siitht as he observed -
served the men. What a desperate band
( lucy were ! The hardened faces and brutal
looks were on every sidb of hIm. Surely ,
1o mercy vns to he expected from them ,
and the young soldier groaned as ho real-
iZel his helplessness , but It was not the
pain ( rein the wounih in his thigh that
caused the expression.
"My sister Nancy lives up the road here , "
lie said at last. "She's the ouuly sister I've
got , and she disgraced the fanilly by marrying -
rying a tory , lie keeps the public house
up at the corners. I wonder what she'll
think of it when she sees her own brother
ct.rried away by her husband's friends. "
'Wiat's ) that you say ? " said Peter
quickly. "She lives in a public house up
the road. ' I
"Yes , " replied John , surprised at the suit- ,
den interest of the captain.
ti The word to march on again was given ,
and lie lund no opportunity to make further
inquiries ; but lie noticet ? that Peter Hacot
: 'W3 thoughtful , and several times turned to
f simon anti spoke to hini in low tones. Sit -
t roan was Interested , too , , In the captain's
words. for , although the expression upon
his face did not change , John knew tfoni
his manner that seine project was in his
nind'hat It was , however , ho could not
conjecture. To him the march was full of
inisery , for even wlieuu lie could for a ziio-
nent forget the dreary prospect before him
his wound made him fully aware of the mlii-
cry of the present. Surely the price of his
thivotton to the colonies was not small ,
On itiarched the men , the silence broken
only occasionally by a growl from sonic
redcoat or ( lie sharp word of Captain Faust ,
the leader of the guard , to some loitering
prisoner. The beat of ( lie sun was intense ,
and the insects that steadily fohiowed tlier
Increased the disconifort of util , The uris-
onens uttered no complaints , for their tIes-
perato condition forbade all that , but tue
murmtirings among the guard grew louder
and more frequent , They rebelled against
the heat , ( lucy found fault with their leader
for insisting upon th irnco at which lucy
were marching , and Captaiui Faust wait beginning -
ginning to fear that ho would lese control
of his men when a public house came into
view nail a hiatt was ordereL
"is this where ybur sister Nancy lives ? "
Inquired lter of Jobui Starko.
"Yes , " replied Julia , "but I don't know
that she'll do Us any good. "
"I think hc will , " said Peter , and in a
few low worth lie explained his plan. John
listened attentively and for a moment felt
hopeful , but a glance at ( lie noisy redcoats
brought back all his fears , and lie said :
"It. may be vcll cuiough to try it , but I
haven't much hope. hero's niy sister , now.
and I'll see what can be done , "
Nancy was approaching and looking with
curious Interest at thib band of vriouor.
uddcnly lice glance thl Upon John , anti
rho was about to utter a startled exciarna-
tion when a varaing slgui troqi her brother
caused her to be client. Still she approached ,
and John knew by the expression upon lice
taco that he could depend upoa her to do
her utmost for him , for oven in illose tics-
perato times "blood wa thicker thau
ator , "
I "Why , Jobni how came you here ? "
I " " John "Come
"hush , Nanco ! whispered ,
close ii minute and I'll explain it. " In a
tow wordui John hurriedly told his sister of
their desperate plight and explained the visa

listened attentively , and then hesitated be-
Sore she answered , It was only for a mo-
meat , however , for she quickly said : "I'll
o it , John , You stay right here , and i'll
try my best for you. "
Ilium sister was gone in a moment , and
'John str tched himself upon the ground with
liii compahulOn8 to await the result. Not a
'word was spoken by the prisoners , but eab
caa watching inteaseiy the movements of
time guard , Shouts and songs soon could lie
heard , nnd among the noisy inca they could
see a woman mnoying hero anti ( lucre. anti
always with a jug in her hands. The ahouts
Increased and the nplse redoubled , An

Lain Faust appeared in the doorway , anti
in a thick voice ot'derod the men to form
and advance.
"It ins no good , " said John , deBponti-
ingly. .
"You can't tell yet , " replied Peter. "here
comes your sister , '
"John , " said Nancy , ' as she approached ,
"I've done all I could anti will hope for the

as she drew three black bottics from the

John thrust druc of the bottles into his

nail then they arose to take their places
in the rnnk. The mntirhm was at once re-

said Simon. "he'll have to hook out or

looked at one another in dismay , for doubtless -
less the approaching men were rod coats ,
and their coming meant the downfalh of all
their hiopeis. Disnmayecl as they were , they
would have laughed at another time at the I
expression upon the face of tIme drunken
captain , Faust. lie too , bad heard the
sound nail reahizeI that ho was in no fit
condition to-bir seen' by any-of his superior
ofllcens.
'Ifere , Captain Faust , " said Peter Bacot ,
quickly , "you take my hat anti coat and give
me yours and your sword and I'll help you
out. Be quick ; you haven't a minute to
lose ! "
"G-glad to-to-have ye , " said the leader ,
thickly , at once carrying out the suggestion ,
The transfer' had hardiy been made and
time men formed in line by the roadsIde before -
fore Colonel Cruger's band of red coats , escorting -
corting supplies anti reinforcements for the
upper stations , appeared in the road.
"Present arms ! " called Captain Peter ,
and the men , 'who were to stupid to perceive
the change in officers , obeyed , and also car-
ned out the order to salute the newcomers.
"Who's in command of these men anti
what are they ? " inquired Colonel Cruger ,
as lie drew rein on his horse.
"Captain Faust's in command , " replied
Peter , saluting , "and these fellows are
prisoners for the Charleston dungeons. "
"Gooti jilace for them , " replied the echo-
nd , "You'd better hurry on , though , for
it night overtakes you In the woods ( lie
men may get away. "
" \Ve'hi hurry , " replied Peter , watching
the colonel , as he and his men passed on.
\'hnt a relief It' was to have them go. The
hopes they had had were all dashed by time
sudden appearance of the rod coats , but the
quick wit of I'cter I3acot prevatled , and in
a few moments the band had passed ( rein
sight. Then Peter restored the sword and
belongings to Captain Faust , and ( lie macelm
was resumed , though the lines of the guited
wore still unsteady and the men plainly
were almost overcome ,
"Their guns ain't drunk , " whmisitereti
Simon , shaking his head in reply to Peter's
suggestion that thmoy should start and run
into the woods , and the.three prisoners
kept on with the others. Night diii oventa1o

their quarters in a deserted logliouse by
the roadside , Then time prisoners wore

Crane came to Naugatuek in 18G5 , Ito hail

in the community. lie was thrifty and old
citizens remember him as an energetic , vlh-
, to-do young muon. lie worked in a local
factory and in tn years accumulated a hand-
501110. bank account.
It isna in 1573 ( lint lie began paying his
addresses to Mary flobbins. Time acquaint-
since lasted many months and Crane , notwithstanding -
withstanding Miss Ilohblns' indifference ,
pressed his suit persistently. One day she
gave lien fInal anssrr.
Ills fellow workmen at tIme factory noted
Crane's deep melancholy , None were able
to cheer him , few to elicit a word froni tIme
disappoInted moan , lie left his bench and
disappeared. lie took U ! hmIXesIdeflcC ln

with whom lie came In contact , In all the
years of his solitude- one- ever heard his

time of his death to 52 cents. Every month
lie would emerge from his hermitage , visit

year anti a halt ago Crane , much enmaclateci
and quite feeble , was brought to tho' NaugaI I
tuck almshouse. The matron knew nothing
of the man's history nor of his money.
Ills health grew gradually torso. Through
nil his pain ho imover loosened hIs tongue
and to the coil he maintained his self-corn-
posed silence. A few days ago Crane sent
for the matron , Mrs. lliumairo , and signIfied
that ho wished to write out something which
seemed to weigh on his mind. tic always
postponed the communication , hesitating and
throwing the paper aside at ( ho last nio-
macnt , On the evening of his death , when
Crane knew that his hours wore few , ho
sent for the matron. Ho made a sign to ( ho
messenger to bring a pencil and paper. Before -

What has actually been lost to the wealth
of the worhi in the bld tl nail ashes of the
war since authentic history began is beyond
all estimate. It has been computed that the
loss of human life nhonn in that time from
war amounts to fourteen thousand million
souls-a number equivalent to the entire
population of time glob for tIm last 330 years ,
says a writer In Leslie's Weekly. it should

figure as the general standard of the value
of man , It can be seen what an incon-
celvable amount of wealth In time shape of
men has boon destroyed on the battlefields
of the world since time began.

To have known Commodore Dewey is a
claim to liopularity that doesn't fail in
these days. 'l'lie mnn or the woman with
Dewey reniinuscences to tell is always sure
of a listener. Aim old lady from - Vermont
fount ? this out the other day.
"Know George Dewey ? " she split to a New
York Sun correspondent , "Well , Lguess I
did. My , but he was niuschmievous boy !
And a schemer ? Well , I guess one of his
teachers found that out. It was in the
fall of the year antI the apples were ripe
on time trees. There was one orchard witlm a
particularly fine tree in it and the boys they
did hanker after ( lint fruit. I don't know
as I blame 'em for it , either.
"At any rate , George Dewey lie put two
of the other boys up to helping him and
( boy just pretty near cleaned out all the
apples there were on that tree. Mad ? Well ,
you never saw a man as mad as the owner
of ( lie erchmnnii was , and he run right off to
the school teacher to complain. The teacher
thought he'd be real smart , so when the
boys verc all in their seats lie told about
the apple stealing and ho said :
,
' 'Now , I want the guilty boys to understand -
stand that I know jmust who did this and
that they will be severely Iunushed if it happens -
pens again. '
"flut law ! ho couldn't fool George Dewey.
George never blinked , but he maiho up his
mind he'd show that. teacher a thing or
I two. So he kind of started a rumor that
there there was going to be another raid on
the orchard that umext night , and then what
do you think hue illil ? WTell , lie and these
other boys got an empty hogshead and they
hut It under time tree with the fine aples.
The next night they hmid in another tree
and watched , Sure enough the teacher
came stealing along and , 'when he spieti the
hogsheati lie crawled Into it so as to have
a good place to wait for them , Just as
soon as he had got In , time boys sneaked
up behind time hogshead and started it roll-
log tlown the hill , teacher mmii all , bumpity
-hump bump ! My ! By the time it had
stopped anti time teacher hind managed to
get out the boys vero pretty micarly home
and ho hadn't any more Idea than the dead
who'd done it. You can just be sure ( list
it wasn't the teacher that told that story.
"Oh , that George Dewey was a funny boy !
I rcniember about his taking a neighbor's
baby out in Its little carriage , He wasn't
nothing but a little shaver , but you couldn't
get ahead of him even then , Ho got to
running the baby buggy up and down the
vailc 'just lickity-split , ' and the first thing
ho knew he ran it off the walk and spilled
( lie out tIme whole business , Well , lie just
grabbed up time baby anti time covers mind the
pillows and was just dumping thmenm into the
buggy when the baby's mother caine rush-
lag out , That boy uuvr blinked. You'd
have thought ho waiu the lord mayor of
London.
'I , haven't any snore ( line to give to time
baby now , Mrs. - , ' lie said , just as pompous -
ous as you please , 'WiU you lease take her
into the house ? ' And lie stalked away as if
ito bad never gone off a walk in his life ,
No , sir. Time folks that. knew George Dewey
when lie was a boy In Vermont weren't sur-
pniseti at his victory. I guess they wouldn't
be surprised at anything George Dewey
did. "

The accuracy of modern rifled guns is one
of tlma dbdcrs of lnlncering , i-elates the
Scientific AmerIcan , Two experimeum' xml shots
fIred a few years ago at time same elevation
from the same gun fell within thirty yards
of each other , after traversing a distance of
twelve nillc. if a muotierim rifle Is laid upon
the target , with proper elevation anti al-
lowancc for windago , It is safe to say the
shioi will flail the mark , The correct clcvn-
tlon of the gun caim only be determined it
the distance of the target is knowii amid the
exact determination of time distance of a
