THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : THURSDAY , NOVEMBER 17 , 1898. A DANIEL COME TO JUDGMENT. AND HOW MAUNDY FOUND 11ER MASTER. By Agnes Warner McUclland. The pathetic Illtlo procession had wound It8 .way down the dusty road and over the ftrow of the bill , leaving In hio sunshine tit the valley the veil tilled acres , the eprcadlng orchard and the pleasant old farmhouse that had meant much to the heart of Martin Itamscy , but to which h < s would never more return. "Law me , " wheezed Mrs. Tinkler , wiping ft furtive tear upon the corner of her black Bilk apron. "So that's the last of poor 'Martini Well , he has seen sights of trouble In his day. Mallndy and Uellndy has acted as contrary aa two females ever did , an" Martin etood up under 'cm eplendld. Tears to me them girls take It mighty cool when jou think It's their only brother. " " 0 maw , " said Tcnle , untying the drag- Kled bit of crape that drifted from the doot knob. "I think Ilellndy felt awful ; she eln't one to show It ; as for Mallndy , ehe'a that cranky she wouldn't feel bad at her own funeral. " "Seems to me , " remarked her mother , thoughtfully , "that Urothcr Hlco didn't have no call to bo so comfortln' an con- Mlln' . Them girls ain't no spring chickens , they're G2 como next May , same age as fclstcr Harriet Doll. When you think they ain't spoke to one another this 30 year , on * that Martin h a had to Hvo with 'cm , bearing the blunt of their plaguey foolish ness , It does seem as If It was the preacher's business to make the funeral cdlfyln * to the mourners. I hope Brother nice wasn't thlnkln' that the Ramsey farm Is broad an' fruitful. I hope ho ain't 'frald of no old inald twins. " ' 'Why , I an remember , " 'went on Mrs. Tinkler , reflectively , "when the Kamsey girls was as pretty as there was In the county , an' a-body never see one without t'other. But when Bob Parker stopped focaiitln' ilallndy an' took up with Bellndy the fat was In the fire. I can tell you Bob married Sissy Pollock an' has been dead this 20 year ; but that don't make no difference to Mnllndy , mad she Is , an * mad she'll stay ! She's the contrarlest creetcr the Lord ever put breath In ? " "My BUZ , maw ! " exclaimed Tenle. "See fcow high the sun Is gettln' . I better run an' set the table. I don't believe they'll to- many want to climb that hill even for a meal of victuals. Now , maw , you settle right down In that shady corner an' take ti cat nap , you look beat out. Everything H ready to put over , BO there's no need of your helpln' . " Into the au The summer had trailed away tumn. The high hills had glowed with riot ous beauty only to fade Into the somber tints of winter , and now to a waiting world was coming the breath of approaching spring. Acrcas the fields thcro rested stllr a robe of ragged errHne , but the glance of the warm Februaiv sun was calling to life a lilnt of green upon the bare , brown earth , nad along tho-wlndlng Tuscarawaa the chil dren wcro searching for the silvery catkins " " wllfow. of the "pussy" wllfow.t Tenlo was looking for t her mother. Bho Blood upon the porch of the little brown cot tage peering out under her hand. "There she lal" she exclaimed , a a bay horse hitched to o. shabby buggy shambled Into sight. "I'll Jest run down an' open the gate. Goodness me , maw ! What a tlmo you've been , " she cried , as her mother drove Into the barnyard. "I've ' been lonesome as 1 afraid Dolry had run away with ; i dog. was . , f r ite. x " you. "I knowed you'd bo worried about me , Tcnle. " wheezed Mrs. Tinkler , clambering heavily to 'the , ground. "But I did have the biggest h lint , to rta'tch that blue delaine , an' na for wool carpet chain , there ain't a pound In Phlladclphy ! So It was dreadful rate -when I como bythe Ramscys ; an' when Bellndy eco mo nothln' would do but I must un hitch the bcasl an1 atay for dinner. " "New maw , you take them bundles an put for the house , " commanded Tenle. "You look flt to drop. You ain't a-goin' to stand Jiero In * the wot. Go long with you ! " "Law , 'Tcnle , you make a regular baby o ! me. I'll go to please you , chlM , but 'taln't right to be always ehlrkln' . " "I gucw you're rested enough to talk snaw , " said Tenle , when they had had tea and Mrs. Tinkler was resting comfortably in a rocking chair , her slippered feet thrusi -.I into the warm baker. "Never mind about tl the delaine ; teU mo about the Uamseys ; eeoms llko a coon'a ago slnco I seen one ol cm. " "They was nskln' why you didn't come over , but I told 'cm you was dreadful busy makin' a rag carpet , un' the spring sowln comln' on , to say nothln' of Tom Miller fooin' lore eo constant. " "Pshaw , maw. " exclaimed Tcnle , blushing - ing rosy red. "Stop your foolln' , an' go on with your story. " "Well , the fact Is , they are havln * blgt eld times at the Ramsejs , " said Mrs. Tlnklei Impressively. / "You don't eay ! They ain't on spcakln terms ? " Inquired Tenle , sowing awaj briskly. with her lap full of carpet rags. 'Here , Tenlo. hand mo my thimble , an' a mess of them rags ; I can talk twice aa fas with my needle goln' * Up to the Romscys ns far as speakln' goes , things are lest where they was , except they've got that little llosle Lothera there , to dotheir talkln through. But soon aa I got there I s there was aomethln' In the wind , an * as ald , nothln' would do but I must take of my bunnet , an' atay to eat. Pretty eoor Mallndy couldn't stand It no longer , an she out with It. * An' daughter you'd never guess It In this wide world ! " "My suz , maw , how could I guess , ' Uttered Tenlo , excitedly. " 'Taln't anothe beau , Is It ? " "Welt , I swan ! " exclaimed her mother ad mlrlugly. "If you didn't guess It first thing a fa the living truth , Tcnle , Bellndy has go a beau ! " "You're foolln * 1" "Pon honor , Jest as true as you live ! " "Who ever ? " "Jest make a guess. " "I ain't the slightest Idee ! " "Well , " said Mrs. Tinkler , reluctantlj parting with her news , "It's Dan'e Carter ! " "Dan'el Carter , " gasped Tenle. "For th < land eakca ! But if It ain't the very thlnt why , dear me , seems as 4f I ha ( know d It a year ! " "There , " pried her mother , triumphantly "that's 'zactly what I said ! Likely a niatcl aa t > ver was.

" "I can't see what business it Is of her's , ' cried Tonlo Indignantly. "She never speak to poor Dcllndy , She's a regular dog In th < manger. " "So I told her ; but law , It didn't do m Rood. Her heart Is as hard aa a cobble Uellndy broke down an' cried , poor thing n' Bald Mallndy bad said If ehe married Dan'fcl Carter they shouldn't Hvo on th "farm an' Bellndy ownln * half of everything mind you an' that it would break her hear to leave the old home , where she wo , born , " "But land sakes , when Belludy cried , tha niado 'Mallndy act like tunkct.

" "For goodness sake , took at that clock ! " exclaimed Tenle. "Plum 9 , on' all that work to do tomorrow. There's the last tag sewed , an' now we're goin' to bod. " II. The spring had hurried on Into the sum mer and upon Goshen hill , which lay be tween the Tinkler and Ramsey farms , tha blackberries were hanging amid green leaves in rich , ripe clusters. Here early and late Mrs. Tinkler tolled , loving the outdoor life and coveting the many dimes the luscious fruit would bring Tor Tcnle's wedding outfit. It was a close August morning and Tenle , working over the ironing table , < ias think ing longingly of the leafy coolness and the deep , clear spring upon the. hillside , when suddenly she spled her mother coming across the meadow. "Why , what over ! " cried Tenle , dropping her flatlron with a. clatter as Mrs. Tinkler , with gown draggled and sunbonnet awry , but with face alight with excitement and news , appeared around the corner of the bouse. "Where are the berries ? " "Did you ever ! " chuckled her mother , sinking down upon the atcp. "If I didn't have them berries clear knocked out of my head , an' leave them buckets standln' under the bushes ! But , Tenle Tinkler ! Talk about your circuses ! There's things hap pened on that hill aa beets cry show I over see. O , my goodness gracious ! " "Do stop your laughln' , " said Tonie , untying her mother's bonnet and bringing her a glass of water. "Your face Is aa red as a beet ; I hope you ain't got a sunstroke. I can't make head > or tall of what you're talking about. " "There's nothln' the matter of me Tenle. I'm Jest worked up , and ao'll you bo when you've heard. You see when I got on top of Goshcn Ibis mornln' , I eo the bcrrle * was hangln' thick down toward the Ram- seys , so down I went. 'Twaa dreadful pretty an' cool down there , the birds was slngln' , the sassfrases waa a cmellln * an * the big berries thumpln * down in my bucket , nn' I was thlnkln' of startln' up & hymn when all of a sudden , I see a woman over In the Ramsey patch. I couldn't see who for her bunnet , on' I knowed she couldn't see mo for the bushes. Right 'twlxt ui was that old cellar , where the house burned down. The bushes waa a leanln' way out over It , an' the woman waa a gettln' nearer an' nearer. I waa jest going' to holler to her to bo careful , when out her feel slipped an' llckety split , ahe went a aallln * Gown through them bushes , an' there she was , settln' flat on-that cellar floor ! I wai that scalrt seemed as If I couldn't cheep ! ' "She didn't seem hurt none , set there kind of whlmperln' , and then she jerked her bunnet off , an * declare to goodness , if it wasn't Mallndy ! An' it you'll believe me Tenle , I hadn't no sooner seen who 'twa : than every bit of old Adam rlz In me , an says I to myself , 'Guess they ain't no bones broke , so set there , old lady , mebby it'll do you good ! ' " "There wasn't a place where a boy couldn't a clum out in a minute , but Ma llndy Is a gottln' old , an * ahe ain't used to cllmbln * . She got up an' went rouni an' round the wall , but there wasn' nothln' to stand on , an' every time she'i get her toe in a cranny , an * try to pul herself up , eomethln * would give , an' down she'd go. " "Why , Maw Tinkler ! You settln' there an sayln * nothln' ! " exclaimed Tenle reproach * fully. "Wasn't you 'shamed of your self ? " "Well , some , only when I thought bow she'd acted to Bellndy , I didn't care one mite ; an' Jeit when my heart was a aoftln a little , who should come a crashln' an' a dashln * through the bushes but Dan'el Car ter ! " "Mr. Carter , " hollered Matlndy , soon as she see who it bo , "Mr. Carter , Dan'el ! You ain't agoln' by without helpln' me out , be you ? " "When Dan'el see her standtn * down there , be seemed struck of a heap. Wha In earth ore you doln * down there , " ayi he. he."I "I fell In , an' can't get out , " aaya she "When Dan'el heard that , he turned kind of slow like , An' looked at her with out sayln' a word. There was eomethln in that stlddy look that made Mallndy ge pretty red in the face , an' she took to tumblln * with the corner of her apron. "Mallp.uy , " says h'e , gotn' down clost to the wall , "I'm mighty glad to get a chanc to talk to you alone. I've jest como from my sister Marthy'a , an * she'a been telltn me some more of your carrln'a on. Now , ' says he , clearln' his throat , "Bellndy la a breakin' down under your persecutions , an I ain't the man to see the woman I lov killed -without doln1 my best to hinder it I've come to the conclusion , Mallndy , " aay be , "that beln * aa its only crazy folks tha talk about polsonln' , an * a burnln * houee over folks' heads , the asylum la the bes place for you. I'm on my way now to ae Squire Altera about It. " "How did be ever dare , " gasped Tenle. "Dare ! I guess Daniel Carter dare any thin * when ho'a roused ; aa tor Mallndy , ah was ragln' . " "I guesa it'll take more than your word to make me crazy , " ahe sputtered. "Guea I've been known in this neighborhood longer on * any Carter. " "There ain't a neighbor but what wll aay you've treated Bellndy llko a dog , ' saya be. "It's knowed for miles that you ain't spoke to her direct for thirty years an' beside you've made your threat promiscuous. " "Mallndy was gettln1 mighty scared , fo like all bullies , she's a dreadful coward a heart , but she wasn't gotu * to give In yet. ' "You don't dare ! saya ahe , tryln' to b fierce an' look In' awful faint. " "A man dares anythtn' when he'a desperate perato as I be , " says he. "You've itaot In my road for a year. " "Bellndy won't Irt you do anything t tne , " aaya she. "Bellndy will let me do what I think best , " eays he. "Bigger fool she ! You are after be money , Dan'el Carter , an' you want me ou of the road , " aaya she , braien aa a peony You 'thlnlt you're a regular Dan'el come o judgment , don't you ? " "I ain't a go In' to stnnd no .Iniults , " cays ic. "I'm goln' now , an * when tha squire n' tne cornea In the mornln' I ain't a doubt we'll find you rl bt here. " "You ain't a goln' to let mo slay here 11 night ! " she gasped out. Mallndy was * a : e ln' nervous an' hystcrlcy , for the fall tad shook her up dreadful , an' his sayln * hat jest upset her. "Ain't you got no heart ? " flay a ahe. "You ain't never showed me an * Bellndy none , " says he , moving off. "You wretch ! an' mo that 'frald of bears ! There ain't never a soul on this hill but hat fat old Idiot of a Mrs. Tinkler , " says she. "The mean old thing , " cried Tenlo In dis gust , " ahe didn't say ithat , did she , maw ? " "Honest Injun , Tenle > , 1 heard her with my own ears , an' to think of all I've done for that erector. " "Dan'el Carter , how much will you take o let mo out ? " says 'she , lookln' fit to drop. "There's only one way I'll let you out , " toys he , stern aa a judge. "If you'll [ iromlae to act like a sane woman an * let 3ellndy go her own road , I'll give you an other chance , " says he. "I ain't never a goln' to speak io Be llndy , " saya ahe , aa spiteful as ever. "I TRICKS OF TURKS AT FIRES Great Commotion 8tirred Up by a Blaze at Constantinople. HOW THE ALARM IS TURNED IN A Itnckrt Iliimil to n Holler . In AiMlon I.nnlluu ; lliirtiliiK IlnllillnK" nnil Itnlibtiig for ! > - . The very first night after my arrival In Constantinople 1 was awakened about 3 o'clock In the morning by an extraordinary uproar In the city. There was n booming of cannon , a rushing of soldiers , the clank and rattle of hea\y wheels , the shouts of many voices and the howling of about a million dogs. I concluded that a revolution had started or a massacre nt the very least , but was assured by the hotel porter when 1 got out In the corridor that It waa only a Ore and not a very big ono nt that. "You will get used to this sort of thing , " ha said , "before you have been here long. The touloumbajls haven't been paid for months , so we're having a good many fires. " engine of European pattern , and making noise like a charge of cavalry. Surrounding the engine wcro a crowd of loot soldiers nnd mounted guards , tearing along promts- cuouily and shouting n * If they were going Into battle. It appears that ever/ fire f ngln In Constantinople and every file company , even to the farthest city limit * , makes a rush for the cent of danger tu soon as the warning cannon sounds. The consequence In the case of small fires Is that numbers of them nrrlve after the trouble Is over. Fire TOMi-r MKMIII * . I asked the porter where the cannon were fired and ho explained that thcro are seven of them set apart for the flro service at the village of Tchengel-Kcnl , In the out skirts of the cnpttnl , up the Ilosphorus. These seven cannon arp discharged ns soon as word Is signaled from ono of the lire towers. "How many fire towers are there ? " "Two ; the wnr office tower on the Stain- boul slilc ami the big Galnta tower that you see from here. " So much for first Impressions ; this par- tlculur fire was golug out and I went to bed , leaving the dogs howling. During my stay In Constantinople , however , 1 saw several fires as n nearby spectator atid wns able to judge of the department's practical efficiency. Sufllco it to say that this Is absurdly small , the only wonder being that the Turkish capital Is not burned to nslics over ami over "GET ME OUT OK THIS , " SAYS SHE. ain't spoke ito her this thirty year , an' I ain't goln' .to.

But If you'll promise to keep a civil tongue In your bead I'll give you another chance. " "You ain't comln' there , " saya she , get tln' white aa a sheet. "But I daren't stay here. I'm afraid of my life. " "You won't see anythln' worse than your- > lf , " says be , an * with 'that off he went. An' when ahe couldn't see him no more down she went in a heap an * covered her face with her hands. "An' then what do you think I done , Tenle ? I jest up an' growled , that low an' muffled an * awful , It sent the chills down my own 'backbone. " "For the lands sakea , " cried Tenle. "You awful Maw Tinkler ; what did poor Mallndy do ? " "Mallndy ! Why , you'd a-thought she had a flt. She jumped an' ehe horlercd , 'Dan'el ! Dan'el Carter ! Dan'el ! ' an' that Dan'el went n-ccholn' down the bill 'Ull seetna ad If I can hear It yet.

The much talked of meteoric shower was ob- aerved here between midnight and daybreak. While there waa a good display the bril liancy waa not what waa popularly ex pected. The aky , which was overcast with clouds the fore part of the night , cleared about midnight , just In tlmo tor the dis play. In a abort apace of tlmo during whlcb they were visible from the Yerkes observatory about 200 meteors were seen. Many were of the first magnitude , leaving a brilliant trail of light , with a bluish green tinge. Others were very faint. All moved with great velocity. Mont of them appeared about 100 degrees from the ra diant , showing the distance they passed through the atmosphere before becoming Ignited. Prof. Barnard , assisted by Profs. Ellermnn and Ritchie , took observations of the display from the Yerkes observatory. Numerous photographs were made , but what results were obtained Is not yet known , ns the negatives have not been developed. The Heat IMmitcr , A piece of flannel dampened with Cham berlain's Pain Balm and bound on to the affected parts la superior to any plaster. When troubled with a pain In the chest or aide , or a lame back , give It a trial. You are certain to be more than pleased with the prompt relief which it affords. Pain Balm la also a certain cure for rheumatism. I did not see thei connection and asked ! what ho meant. "Why , " he said , "these poor dsvils. the firemen , have to live bomohow , and when they don't get their w ges they take it out in loot. So , in bad times like this , a flre Is a Godsend to thenr'aiid they do say , " here ho dropped his voice a little , "that when the flres don't como along often enough ot their own accord the touloumbajls help things out with oil and matches. " "What , bet flro to buildings ? " The porter nodded. "Why , that's nothing , the government does that Itself when It wants a street widened or Bomo old quarter rebuilt. If you want to see where the flre Is we can go up on the roof. " So wo went up , and sure enough , off to the southeast was a glo\y In the sky and a tongue of flame shooting up. The city lay wrapped In Us strange night beauty , cypress trees rising above the red-tiled roofs , the Bosphorus to.the left , the Golden Horn at the right and slender minarets lifting their heads dimly whichever way ono turned. "Look , there , " said the porter , "a single light Is shining from the Galata tower , which means that the flro Is in Stamboul , not here in Pera If itwere on this sldo of ths Golden Horn there Would bo two lights. Now , listen , you can hear the bcckjls call ing. " The WatcIniinu'H Cry. Sure enough , from the street below came the long sing-song cry of a night watch man : "Yang-hur-var-r-r. Stam-bol-da-a-a. Yang-hur-var-r-r. Stam-bol-da-a-a. Thcro Is a flre in Stambou-ou-oul. " And then the ringing of his Iron-shod staff striking on the cobble stones. And forth * vylth , from the street adjoining , came the game cry with the same ringing blows ot the staff. Then from another street , and still ( another , from , dozens of streets , & ! t .about us , sounding fainter and fainter until the cries wcro lost in the outskirts , "Yang- hur-var-r-r. Btam-bol-da-a-u. " AH the bcckjls In Constantinople were waking the sleepers with sturdy lungs and vigilant staves. "Why do they make such a racket ? " I asked , "and why do the dogs howl BO ? " The porter shrugged his shoulders. "Tho beckjls cry out and pound the streets because - cause they have nothing else to do , the dogs howl because It is their nature to. " "How do the beckjla know wbcro the flro Is ? They can't all see the tower , can they ? " "No , they find out by telegrams that ore sent from the central station all over the city. Besides , each beckjl hears bis neighbor call , and so the word Isipaseed on. " We stood talking and presently along the street below came a white-clad company ot runners going at full speed ; they ran beautifully with long strides and cheats well out , shouting like demons. Their brown legs were bare to the luioes. "Who are they ? " I asked. "They are Irregular touloumbajls who carry the hand pumps. When the alarm comes they spring up all over the city and start for the flro on a dead run. They go like deer , as you can see , and turn aside for no one , so that bad accidents often happen. The regular touloumbajls have a certain small salary paid them , or at least promised them , by the government , hut these fellows have no salary at all. They are merely allowed to sleep In dlsuted mosques and must depend entirely for wages upon what they can steal. With them It Is a case of first como first serviced , and that la why they hurry. Also because they like to show off their Importance. You can tell them because they wear white breeches and will knock you down with the greatest pleasure if they get an opportunity. " About n minute or two after the paptag * of this Interesting band came a company of vular ; flremen , dragging a smoking flre again. I saw the touloumbajls rush up knocking people to right nnd left amj. tramp ling on vagrant dogs. I saw them set 1/1 / their squirt-gun pumps and Jet fly with pun ; streams and I watched the regulars worl with puffing engines. Somehow the blazi would gradually subside In spite ol fllmsi wooden structures for It to feed upon. Am the crowd would look on In the most Inv passlvo way , not even the owners of prop , erty bestirring themselves to save theli worldly goods. Here , as in all else , the deep , rcotcd philosophy holds sway , that whatovei conies Is Allah's will. The flames consume and it Is well ; the firemen plunder , and II Is well. Needless to say , the liuurancc companies look at the mutter dlfi'crentlj and avoid Constantinople risks IB thej would the pestilence. I also visited the two flro towers and wa : able to vcrl.'y by personal experience whai Is a matter of common knowledge that th ( men on duty there are a precious lot 01 ruffians. They keep the signals going wel enough , the lights by nl ht and colorei balloons by day , but they look upon all wht come near them as their legitimate prey The Galata tawer Is a splendid old Btruc < ture , built by the Genoese hundreds of yean ago , and In consequence many tourists g < to see it ; for that matter It attracts the cyi from all parts of Constantinople. And mon than once It has happened that unsuspicious foreigners who have climbed pnlnfuly ti the top ; after paying nn exorbitant fee have been held up by three or four evil looking men In firemen's uniform and beci given ihe option of banding over a numbc of golden llras or being kept prisoner ; there all night , with the chance of worsi treatment.

A ItEMAIlKAIILU Led a FrlRlitencil AVoinnii Aeroiia i CronUett Street. "I saw a most remarkable occurrence 01 the street the other day , " said a local pro tesslonal man , according to the Clevclani Plain Dealer , "and It made a. deep Imprea elon on me.
