CHAPTER XVII.
On the Road to Turner's.
"Who goes there?"
"A Jufj."
"What kind of a jug?"
"A little brown Jug from ICIldare."
Thus Mr, Thomas Ardmore tested
hio pickets with a shibboleth of his
own devising. The sturdy militiamen
of North Carolina patroled tho north
ern bank of Raccoon creek at mid
night, aware that riotous flood alone
separated them from their foes.
Tho terraces at Ardsley bristled with
the guns of the First Light battery,
while, upon a cot In the wlno collar
beneath, Mr. Bill Applewelght, alias
Poteet, slept the sleep of tho just.
He was rudely aroused, however, at
ono o'clock In tho mornlnp by Ard
more, Cooko and Collins, and taken
out through tho kitchon to ono of tho
Ardsley farm wagons, nig Paul held
tho reins, and four of Cooko'a detect
ives were mounted as escort. Ard
more, Cooko and Collins wore to ac
company tho party as a board of
strategy In tho movement upon Tur
ner Court House, Fu(h Carolina.
Applowelght, tho terror of tho bor
der, blinked at tho lanterns Unit flash
ed about him In tho courtyard. Ho
had been numbod by his Imprison
ment, nnd ovon now ho yielded him
solf docilely to tho inevitable. His
pture in the flrat Inntanco at Mount
Nebo had been clear enough, and he
could have placed his hand on tho
men who did It If ho had been free
for a couple of hours. This he had
pondered over his solacing solltalro as
he sat on tho cato of Chateau nizot
Jn tho Ardsley wlno cellar; but tho
subsequent events had been altogeth
er too much for him. II had been
taken from his original captors by a
Rlrl, and while the Ignominy of this
was not loit, on tho outlaw, his wits
had beon unequal to tho furthor fact,
which ho had no ground for disbe
lieving, that this captivity within tho
wnlls of Ardsloy hnd been duo to a
daughter of that very governor of
North Carolina whom ho had counted
his friend,
"Tho road between Klldaro and Tur
ner's Is fairly good," announced Cooko.
"though we've got to travel four miles
to strike it. Grlswold evidently thinks
that holding tho crook Is all thoro Is
of this business, and ho won't find
out till morning that wo'vo crawled
round his line and placed Applowelght
in Jail at Turner's, whoro ho belongs."
"You must have a good story ready
for tho press, Collins," Bald Ardmoro.
"Tho North Carolina border counties
don't want Applowelght Injurod, nnd
Gov, Dangorfleld don't want any harm
to come to him you may bo suro of
that, or Bill would havo beon doing
tlmo long ago.''
"Gentlemen, it wns, very impolite
or you not to tell mo you wore ready
to start 1" and Jerry camo briskly
from tho Bide entrance, dressed for
: tnaj-atldle and jijpbllnc h binit
"Rut you nre not to go! I thought
that was understood!" cried Ardmoro.
"It may have been understood by
you, MY. Ardmoro, but not by mo I I
should novor forgive myself If, after
all Ihe troublo I huyo taken to
straighten out this little matter, I
- should not ho in at tho finish. Will
you klmily get mo a horse?"
Miss Dangerfleld's resolution wns
not to be shaken, and a few minutes
latr tho pnrty movod niit from tho
courtyard. Cooko rodo several hun
dred yards ahead: thon two detoctlvos
f preccdod tho wagon, In which Apple
weight sat on a cross-seat with two
more of Cooko's nion on a seat just
behind Lint. Ho wbb tied and gagged,
L and an old derby hat (supplied by
Paul) had boon clapped upon tho side
of his head at an nnglo that gavo
him a jaunty air belled by his bonds.
Though his tongue was Bilenccd, Ms
oyeB wore at onco eloquont of won
derment, resignation nnd Impotent
rago. Desldo tho wagon rodo Miss
Jerry Dangorfleld, alert and con
tented. Ardmoro and Collins wore Im
mediately behind her, aud sho In
dulged the journalist in somo mild
chaff from tlmo to tlmo, to his in
finite delight, though considerably to
, Ardmoro's distress of heart; for,
" i'-f though no words had passed between
hlm and Jerry as to tho dlsKracoful
' flight of tho adjutant general, yet tho
master of Ardsloy was In a jealous
mood, Thd moon had left tho conspir
ators to the spfter radiance of tho
stars, but thore was sufficient light
for Ardmoro to mark tho gontlo
lines of Jerry's face, as uho lifted it
now and then to scan tho bright
globes above.
Paul drove his team at a trot over
tbA smooth road of tbo estate to a re
tote and little-used gate on tho south
era side, but still safely removed from
tlM gontii Carolina pickets along the
Raccoon.

of operations. It will then bo Gov.
Osborne's painful task to danco be

tho loud cursing of his border con
stituents. Tho possibilities of this
rumpus grow on mo, Ardmoro."
"Thero is no rumpus, Mr. Collins,"
said Jerry over her shoulder. "The
governor of North Carolina Is merely
giving expression to his civic pride
and virtue."
Leaving Ardsley, they followed a
dismal stretch of road until tboy
reached tho highway that connects
Tumor's and Klldaro.
"It's going to bo morning pretty
soon. We must got tho prlsonor into
Turner's by five o'clock. Trot 'em up,
Paul," ordered Cooko.
Thoy woro all in cnpilal Mplrlts,
with a fairly good road before thorn,
leading straight to Tumor's, nnd with
no expectation of nny troublo In land
ing their prisoner safely in Jail.
Thoy were well Into South Carolina
territory now, nnd woro jogging on at
a sharp trot, when suddenly Cooko
turned back and halted tho wagon.
"Thero's something coming -wait!"
"Maybo Dill's friends aro out look

Cooke impatiently bado them bo
quiet.
"If wo'ro accosted, what shall wo
Bay?" ho asked.
"We'll say," replied Jerry Instantly,
"that ono of the laborers at Ardsley
Is dead, and that we nre taking his re
mains to his wife's family at Turner's.
I Bhall bo his grlof-stricken widow,"
Tho guards already had Apple
weight down on tho floor of tho

"Pretty picture of n sorrowing wid

punched him in tho rlba to mnko him
stop laughing, To tho quick stop of
walking horBes ahoad of them waB
now Bdd'd th whisper nnd oronk of
lcathor.
"Hello, tlieiel" yelled Cooko, wish
ing to tako tho Initiative.
"Hoy-O!" answered a yolco, nnd all
was still.
"Give up tho road; wo'ro taking n
body Into Turner's to catch tho morn
ing train," called Cooko.
"Who'B dend?"
"Ono of Ardmora'H Dutchmen. Ship
ping tho corpso back to Germany."
The pnrty nliond of thorn paused as
though debating tho enso.
Tbo north-bound party was a blur
In tho road. Their horses Rniffcd and
movod restlessly about as their riders
conforrod.
"Give us tho rond!" Bhoutod Cooko.
"Wo haven't much tlmo to catch our
tialn."
"Who did you say waB dead?"
"Karl Schmidt," returned Paul
promptly.
Ardmoro'B heart sank, fearful lest
nn Inspection of tho corpse should be
proposed. Rut at thltt moment a wall,
cerio and heait-broaklng, rose and fell
dismally upon tho night. It was Jer
ry mourning hor dead husband, hor
slight flguro swaying bnck and forth
over his body in an abandon of grlof.
"Do poor vldow sho bo mil us,"
called out big Paul, forsaking his us
ual excellent English for guttural dia
lect. "Who aro you fellows?" demanded
Cooko, spurring his horso forward.
The horsemen, to his surprise, seemed
to draw back, and ho hoard a voice
apeak out sharply, followed by a re
grouping of the riders at tbo side df
the road,
"Wo been to a dance at Turner's,
and air go In' back home to Klldaro,"
came tho reply.
"That seems all right," whispered
Ardmore to Collins.
"Thus," muttered Collins, "in the
midst of death wo nre In life," and
this, reaching Jerry, caused her to
bend over tho corpse at her foot as
though in n convulsive spasm of sor
row, whereupon, to add color to thoir
story, Paul rumbled off a few consola
tory sontonces In German.
"Give us tho road!" commanded
Cooke, nnd without further parley
thoy started ahoad, closing about tho
wagon to diminish, as far as possible,
the slzo of tho caravan. Paul kept
tho horses at a walk, as became their
sad errand, nnd Jerry continued to
wcop dolorously, .
They passed the horBomon at a
slight riso in the rolling road. Tho
party bound for Turner's moved stead
ily forward, tho horsemen huddled
about tho wagon, with Jorry's led
horso between Ardmoro and Collins
at tho rear. At tho top of tho knoll
hung tho returning dancers, woll to
the loft of tho road, permitting with
duo respect the passing of the funor
al party. One of them, Ardmore could
have sworn, lilted his hat until tho
wagon had passed. Thon some one
cnlled good night, and, looking back,
Ardmore saw them a dozen men, ho
judged regain the road and qulotly
resumo their journey toward Klldaro.
"Pretty peaceablo for fellows
who've beon attending a danco," sug
gested Collins, craning his neck to
look after them.
"Ono fellow lifted his hat as we
passed, and I thought"
"Well, what did you think, Mr. Ard
moro?" demanded Cooko Impatiently.
"Well, It may seem atrange, but I
thought thero was something about
that chap that suggested Crlsay,"
Thoy paused to allow Jerry to re
sume hor horBO, nnd one of tho do
toctlves joined in the conference to
venture hiB opinion that tho men they
had passed were in uniform. "Thoy
looked like mllltin to mo," and na ho
was a careful man, Cooko took note
or ins remark, though ho made no
comment.
Hut ns thoy moved on toward Tur
ner's, Ardmore wns still troubled ovor
what had scorned to him tho leraark
ablo Parisian courtosy of the return
ing reveler who had lifted his hat as
the corpse passed. Grlssy, he kopt
saying ovor and ovor to himself, was
no fool by any manner of means, and
ho wns unnblo to conjecturo why tho
associate profosBor of admiralty,

SMALL TRAP BAGS RABBITS

Boys living In places where rabbits

HOW TO MANUFACTURE PAPER
Some Interesting Facts as to Its Origin
and Materials It Is Made of
Its Many Uses.
Wo derlvo the word paper from the
Latin papyrus, the name of an Egyp
tian plant, from which the ancients
male a very desirable material for
writing. Almost overy species of
tough, fibrous vegotablo has at one
tlmo or another beon employed In the
manufacture of paper. Even the roots
and the bark of trees, stalks of the
nettlo, tho common thistle, tho stem
of tho hollyhock, hay, straw, cabbage
stalks, willow, sawdust and wood Bhav
IngB havo all been used.
In tho library of the BrltiBh Mu
seum there Is a book, prlntod In low
Dutch, that contains no less than fifty
eight specimens of papor, all mado of
entirely different materials, the result
of one man's experiments as far back
as 1772.
Whatever tho material used, the pa
per making process Is tho same: The
rags, bark or llbrca must first be
.made Into a smooth pulp, the pulp Is
put Into tho paper machine, and In a
short tlmo Is convertod into paper.
The so-called rice papor of the Chi
nese is not mado of rice. The name
is a misnomer that originated In a
mistake. Rice paper Is really tho pith
of a water-plant known to botanists as
the aralia papyrifera. Tho plant
growB, usually, to a height of twenty
flvo feet. By moans of n long. thin,
very sharp knife, tho pith Is cut
around and around from the outsldo
towards tho center. Tho largest
sheets that can bo obtained in this
way are about fifteen inches in length
and about ten Inches in width. Theso
sheets of pith havo a commercial
value In China, for thore thoy aro
used In the manufacturo of many use
ful and ornamental articles.
As soon ns the sheets are cut they
aro spread out, all little holos In them
are carcfuly mended with bits of mica,
and thoy are thon made flat by pres
sure, 'i'ho small, inferior alieela are
brilliantly dyed, and then sold to
flower manufacturers. On tho large
shcots native artists paint quaint,
bright-huod pictures of insects, birds
and flowers, and find a ready market
for them, both at homo and abroad.
It would be next to impossible to
toll of all the ways In which it Is pos
sible to use paper. Wo aro told that
It takes but Lwonty-nlno hours to con
vert linen fibre into a paper carwheel.
Tho wheel 1b composed entirely of
paper rings, which, when piled loose
ly, stack rb high as the shoulders of
a man of average height Thnse rinijs,
under treatment, sink to the thickness
desired, and aro thon securely fasten
ed by means of bolts, and a steel tire
is put on them. In Russia and Ger
many pnpor car-rolls have already
boon used to somo extent, and have
given satisfaction. Enthusiastic pnpor
manufacturers tell us that paper
Iioubcs, paper furniture of evory de
scription nnd paper clothing of evory
kind will be in use in tho near future.

STONE MOVED BY THE SUN
Immense Mass of Granite In Ohio
Cemetery Undergoes Curious
Revolutions.
An interesting object Is to bo Boon
in a cemetery of Ohio a largo gran
ito stono weighing two tons, in the
shapo of a ball, which 1b gradually
turning on its axis. During tho last
five years, so It is said, this ball has
turned a fraction over 13 Inches.
When the ball was placed In position
an unpolished spot six inches In diam
eter was purposely left In tho socket
of tho pedestal whereon It rested. A
little later It was noted with astonlsh
.ment that this spot was turning up
ward on the south side of tho monu
ment. This curious revolution of the
polished ball, to lift which would re
quiro a large derrick, is supposed to
bo due to tho sun'o action, In tho fol
lowing manner: The solar rays heat
ing one side cause the ball to expand
to a certain degreo whereas the north
side, which rests mostly In tho uhade,
doeB not expand to tho same extent,
thus causing tho ball gradually to
shift its position by turning.

palatable comfort and renewing tho
colls and nerve centors broken down
