thinks she Whnt can I do to keep him.'
And always through the weary days thnt
followed, hrr one thought was that: How
inn 1 keep lilm? What can I do to keep
It t tti And so time went. '
"Three days iiro that was Thuridty In ;
Mils very week- was fair dny In riogheen .
and after breakfast tlmo Mary putn on lior
hut, takes the child and sets out with
.Inmes for tho fair. 'Twna nearly tho last
dny, says she. Ilcttrr, sure, to upend It to
gether In diversion. Why, to be sure, an
swered James, nothing loth, nnd In they
trudged lo Cloghecn. I saw them l If re
myself, going up and down the s.dewa'kj,
nnd to nil npprnrance tho world was well
with them Jnmin had his head In the nlr
nnd looked n trtfln flushed, an well ho
might, seeing nil the friends thnt wero
wishful to bid him goodbye, and Mary, a
little wild In her uyea nnd unstendy nbout
Mm lips. Hut, sure, nil thnt was nothing
nt nil. Not every dny a man went to the
wars, not every day n woman parted with
the mnn. Ro most of ii pitied Mary, nnd
flapped James on the shoulder and wlihed
them both well. Ood bo with them, sail
we. n the fashion In, nnd might He bring
them Fnfe together nRnln. Thcrr up. Mary,'
snld we, 'cheer up, girl Sure It'n not every
womnn In tho town hns married a hcra.'
And James IniiRhed In his noly way, but
never a smile enmc near the lips of Mnry.
ller face was the color of nshes. Sho Lad
a wild, haunted look. All the time 3011
were speaking she was Just looking through
j oil with her bis black eyes, nnd her Ilpn
were quIverlnR. Can I keep htm? must
have been tho thought with her nlwnys and
ever. Can I keep him from going?
"The dny wore on nnd about 2 o'clock
, Mnry takes James Into Oraham's, the
watchmaker on High stroet, to buy him
some trlflo of a keepsake to carry away
with him. 'It'll he something to look at,'
snys she, nnd takes her plnce by the coun
ter; 'som'i'thlng to mind ye of home.' So
Ornhnm opens n glass case and brings out
his tray of knlcknncks, lockets nnd chains
and scarfplns nnd alt tho rest, lays It In
front of the two and wnlts for them to make
1 their choice. 'Here's something I can rec
ommend.' saya he, 'and here's n wee thing
' might tnke your fancy,' Hut though James
liked this nnd that, Mary couldn't bo sat
isfied. She wanted something better, or
I something handler, or something more use
1 fill . nnd Oraham, being a good-hearted man
, and knowing Mary well and the trouble she
( had, humored her nil he could brought out
, watches and rings nnd knives nnd spoons
' till the counter was thick before her
I 'Would this do?' says Oraham, 'or would
this?" 'No,' says Mary, 'it won't." At Inst
settles on n silver locket (that being her
' n'nmnn'a wnvl linmla It I n Tnmn nnla
down r. shillings to pay for It, then, Just as
Oraham stoops to open tho till, slips a
watch from thn counter beneath her ahawi,
turns nnd walks out. In a second tho thing
was done nnd there the. tvo were out again
on the pavement."
"Well, sir, half an hour afterward, bo
the tlmo more or less, Mary and James
were sitting with a few friends In Mnn
gan's parlor over a farewell drink, when
the sergeant of police romes to tho door,
crooks his finger at James and asks the
favor of a word with him. It was Just this,
snys tho sergeant, whrn the two wero face
to face on tho pavement; a robbery had
been committed In Oraham's shop. 'Well,'
snys James Htlftcnlng his back. 'Half an
hour ago,' the sergeant goes on, 'a watch
was taken from Oraham's counter. 'Well.'
nays James again with a snort. He made
no accusations and he wns wishful to nvold
n Hcene; 'but,' says Ihe sergeant, 'suspicion
wns heavy upon Mnry and'
"'On Mary!' saya ' James, 'Ye say that?
in dnro to stnnd there nnd say '
"'I say nothing, nnswercd tho scrgennt;
T tell ye only what's told to myself. Now
tlko r good man,' saya he, laying a hand on
James' shoulder, 'have wit and do as I
tell you. Oo nnd bring her to the barracks
till I have a word with her. If she's Inno
cent" " 'Not one dnnged foot,' shouts Jnmes;
'not one foot I'll bring her.'
" 'Then I must do my duty,' naya the
sergeant.
" 'Do It,' ahouts Jnmes In a fury; 'and
by G when your duty's done I'll do mine,
for I'll have your black blood!'
"Hy this a crowd had gathered on the
sidewalk, and when, In n minute, the ser
geant enme leading Mary by tho arm half
tho town was there to nee. I wns there
myself. 1 saw Mnry and I saw James, nnd
1 followed them down to the barrack's
door. Mary went meek ns n lamb, (ho
child In her arm, nnd her eyrn fltei before
hrr nnd her faro white ns n Hhert. IJehlnd
hrr went James, cursing like a trooper and
vowing murder upon the sergeant, nnd be
hind Ihe three, and In front, wns nil the
world, foolish with excitement. To tho
very barrack I followed them, with pity
soft In my heart, nnd saw tho floor close
behind them, and for twenty long minutes
I waited on tho sldewnlkn till the door
opened again and Mary enmo out. her fnco
streaming with tears, n big hrulsc on her
cheek, the child still In her arms, nnd no
James with her."
Han paused Just there nnd snt looking
at his empty glnss. Hut I lennt townrd
lilm. "No James"" said 1. '
'No." answered Dan. "There wn no
Jnmes. When Mary wns searched nothln'
wns found on her; so she turns to the ser
geant nn' says, '.Vow maybo you'll bo nc
cutln' James next.'
" 'Ay.' shouts Jnmes, 'by C maybe you
will Search me,' he shruts, 'search me
before. I spill your blond.' So they searched
him nnd there in his coat pocket was the
wnteh. Ay, there t was, sir, with every
hour of the da" marked upon Its faco.
."
A light broke upon me. "Mary put It
there," cried I.
"To be jure," answered Dan; "to b sur
she did. Sooner than have Jnmes go 10

first I'rliitliiK I'ri'Ni on the Continent
.let I i In til; of Mexico.
The llrat printing preis on the American
continent was set up In tho City of Mexico
In 1 hi- Hlxtvtnth century, snys the Detroit
I'ri'c I'rrsr, So much id known regarding
tho commencement uf the art prcturvatlve
lu the e.trrn world, but whtu details are
limited fur different accounts and conflict
ing stntemvuts are fouml. One nuihor
claims that tho first Spanish viceroy of
Mexico, Antonio do McmUua, who went to
th.it country In lf.35 and who wns dirtlu
finished for his devotion to literature, cs
tnbllshed a printing houtn some, years be
fore IBM and that tho printer employed by
lilm, wiioto nnme wns Jon nil in I'.tulus llrb
si'iilus. of liomh.irdus, a native of Ilrcsuln,
Itnly, waa tho llrst man to handlo type In
America. For .1 time one of his books, a
folio volume executed In lfi49. was cited as
tho first liook printed on this continont.
Another nnd perhaps more correct verslou
Ik thnt printing wna first (tablihcd In
Mexico by the Spanish missionaries and the
fact tcetuit to be established that under
their auspices a book, ono mutilated copy
of which is still In exlMtence in a private
unrary in .Madrid, was printed In lf.40 by
Jullau Crombergcr, who died about lf.44 nnd
who wn in nil probability tho first printer
In America.
It Is quite certain that the printing press
was actively employed In Mexico In has
than n century nftrr the new art become
cncrnlly known In Kurope and for ncnr.y
a century before a printing press was In
troduced Into tho present limits of the
United Stntrs. Tho second American city In
which n prlntlnc ofilco was established was
Limn, Peru, where a work designed to assHt
tho priests In the study nf the language of
tho .la'tlvcs appeared in 15S8.
At Cambridge, Mass., ns Isaiah Thomis
asserts, In January, 1039, printing was first
performed In that part of North America
which extends from the Oulf of Mexico to
the frorcn ocean. The beginning of the
work of this first printing ofllce In our
country wns a sorrowful ono, snys tho Hook
Liver. Rev. Jesse Olovcr, through whose
exertions the press had been secured nnd
who contributed largely to the purchase,
died upon his voyage to the new world and
his eons had nfterward to buo their step
father for the possession of the press. This
primitive establishment wns subject to thn
nuthorlty of Cambridge college, the presi
dent of which Wns censor of trie press mid
responsible for all 'publications until special
licensees wero appointed by law In 1652,
the press never being enfranchised In
Massachusetts until as late as 1735.
Ono Orecn became tho second printer In
the United Statm. Three hundred acres of
land were granted htm In 16."S. but Mr.
Green, It would appear, could not P--1 a
sultnble location for his grant until 1 16 7.
when It Is recorded thnt 300 acres of land
were laid out to ICnsIgn Samuel Orcon of
Cambridge, printer, in the wilderness on
tho north of Merrlmnc river.
In 10S9 an Indian boy taught at the char
ity schpol of Cambridge to rend and write
English was apprenticed to Samuel Green
and took .upon himself subsequently the
name of James, tjie,. Printer, or James
Printer. Ho prlnte'dEliofs' Indian bible,
the first copy of trie sacred testament made
In this country.- 'lie rendered such effi
cient service on tills "work that .Ellot said
he" "had but ono man, namely, the' Indian
printer, that w-ns hble to compose the
sheet nnd correct the press with under
standing." A copy of tho Indian bible Is to
bo soon In tho National Museum.
Tho negro appears first In an American
printing office under tho direction of one
Thomas Fleet, who fled to this country
for refuge from the rage of an Insensate
London mob. In Boston ho established a
printing houso with the sign of the Heart
and Crown, and hero his sons succeeded
him In the business, although with the
advent of nntl-royal iecllng tho sign was
changed to .tho Heart and Dlble. Fleet
owned several negroes, ono of whom he
taught not only to work the press, but
to set typo as well. He found .special profit
In printing small .boqka for children and
popular ballads, and such publications were
rendered more attractive by tho wood en
gravings cjtt for them by the negro artist.
Caesar and Pompey, sons of this negro,
also becamo printers and remained n tho
ofllce of thclf 'master's sons.
