The Battle of the Raccoon. Mrs. Atchison met tho returnlne; ad venturers at the door. "Your conduct, Jorrr Dangerfleld, Is beyond words I" sho exclaimed, seiz ing the girl's hands. "And bo you real ly locked that horrid person In a real Jail! Well, we shan't miss him! Wo have been knpt up all night by tho arrival here of other prisoners brought In like parcels from the gro cer's." "More prisoners!" shouted Ard more. The captain of the battery whose guns frowned upon the terraces camo up and' saluted. "Mr. Ardmore," he said, "I have been trying for several hours to see Gov. Dangerfleld, but this lady tells me that ho has left Ardsley." "That la quite truo; tho governor -was called away last night on official bus!n"j, and ho will not return for an hour or two. You will kindly state your business to mo," The captain wasBpeevleh from loss of sleep, and by no means certain that ho cared to transact buslncos with Mr Ardmoro. He glanced at Miss Bangor fleld, whom he had met at Knlolgh, and tho governor's daughter met tho situation promptly, "Capt. Webb, what prisoners have you taken, and why nre they not gagged to prevent this hideous nolso?" Seemingly from beneath tho ample porte-cochere, wh6r this colloquy oc curred, roso yolls, groans and curses, and tho sound of thumps, as of tho Impact of human bodies against re mote subterranean doors, "They're trying to got loose, Miss Dangerfleld, and they refuse to stay tll. Tho fiercest row In from tho follows we chucked Into tho coal bins." 'TVs excellent anthracite, tho best I can buy; they ought to bo glad It Isn't soft coal," replied Ardmoro do fenslvely. "Who aro they?" "They're newspaper men, and ther'ro most terribly enraged," an swered Capt. Webb. "We picked them up ono at'a time In different places on tho estate. They say thoy'ro down hore looking for Gov. Dangerfleld." "You have done well, Capt. Webb," aid Jerry with dignity, "and I shnll urge your promotion upon papa at tho earliest moment possible. Aro these newspaper gontlemon your only pris oners?" "No; we gathered up two other par ties, and one of them Is In tho serv ants' laundry; the other, a middle aged person, 1 locked In tho tower, where ho can enjoy the scenery. Tho prisoner up there made an awful rum pus. He declares he will rula tho whole staU of North Carolina for this. Hero la his card, which, in a coin paxatlvely luold Interval, ho gavo mo to hand you at the earliest possible mosasnt," and Capt. Webb placed a vlsltlnc card In Ardtnore'fl hands. A smile struggled for possession of Ardmoro's countenance, but he re valued control of himself promptly, and his face grew sevitrr. He gavo the card to Jerry, who handed It to Mrs. Atchison, and that lady touched merrily. "Your prisoner, fapt Wohb, Ih George P. Billings, secretary of tho Bronx Loan and Trust Company of New York. What was ho doing when yon seised him?" demanded Ardmaro. "He was chasing the gentleman who's resting on tho anthracite. Ho chased him and chased him, around it teahouse out here somewhere on the place; and finally this person In tho coal holo fall, p.nd thoy both rolled over together The gentleman In the coal holo declares that he's Foster, the stuto treasurer of North Carolina, but hla face got so scratched on the shrubbery that he doesn't look In the least llko Mr. Foster" "I havo sent him witch hazol and court plaster, and wo can got n doc tor for his wounds, If necessary," said Mrs, Atchison. A sergeant rushed up In hot haBto with a demand from Col. Dauben speck, of the North Carolina First, to know when Gov. Dangerftold could be seen. "The South Carolina pickets have been withdrawn, and our officers wnnt orders from tho governor In person," said the meosenger, "Then they shall havo ordera," roared Ardmore. "If our men date abandon their outposts" Ho turnod and rodo furiously to ward tho bolder, and In his rage ho had traversed a thousand yards before ho saw that Jerry was close behind him. As they passod the rod bunga low the crack of scattering rlfls-shots reached them "Oo back! Go back! The war's begun!" cried Ardmore; but, though he qulckt&od the paoe of his horse, Jsrry clunc to his side. "It there's war, and I hops Owe is, I stall mot shrink from the firing line, Mr, Ardmore."

"You seem rather placid, gentleman, to nay tho least," added Jerry, coldly bowing to tho officers, who had risen nt her approach. "Unless 1 am great ly mistaken, that Is the flag of South Carolina I see flaunted in yonder field." And she pointed with a gauntleted hand to u palmetto flag beyond the creek. "It Is, Miss Dangerfleld," rcpllod the colonel politely, "and you can seo their pickets occasionally, but they have been drawn back from tho creek, and 1 apprehend no Immediate ad vance" "Advance! Who aro wo to wait for them to offer battle? Who are we to play hrldgo and wait upon tho plcas uro of a cowardly enemy?" and Jerry gazed upon the furious Ardmoro with admiration, as hu roared at tho offi cers, who stood holding their caps de ferentially before tho daughter of their conimander-ln-chlef. "J don't think It would be quite fall," said the colonel mildly, "to force Issues to-dny," "Not force Issues!" yelled Ardmore, Seated Upon Her Horse "With your bravo sons of our Old North State, not to force battle! In the nnme of tho constitution, I ask you, why not?" ' "For tho reason," replied tho colo nel, "that tho South Carolina troops ato heavily of green npples last night In nn orchard ovor there by tholr camp, and they havo barely enough mon to maintain their pickets thla morning These, you can see, they havo withdrawn a cousldernbln dis tance from the creek." "Then tell mo why they havo been Bring upon our llnca? Why have thoy been permitted to shoot at our help less ami unresisting men If they are not ready for war?" "They were not shooting nt our men, Mr, Ardmore. Their pickets nro very tired from losn of sleep, nnd tliy '.rcrc trying to fccop nwako by shoot ing at a buzzard that l,ng over a Held yonder, where thoro Is, our scouts Inform us, n dcud calf lying In ono of your pastures." "They Bhnll havo bettor meat! Buz zards shall fill the whale stato of South Carolina before night! Colonel, I order you to prepare at once to movo your troops across that creek." moment later the clear notes of the bugle rose nbove tho splash and bubble of the croek. Thoro was no opportunity for a grand onwnrd swoop; It must bo a scramble for tho southern shoro over tho rocks and fallen timber In that mud torrent. Jerry Daugerlleld, seated upon her horso on a slight rise tinder a clump of trees a little way hack from tho stream, coolly munched u cracker and sipped coffee from u tlncup, Ardmoro, again bnltu, now that DulibetiHpeuk had been spurred to action, smoked his pipe and watched the army pre pare to advance. One gun from the buttery wns brought down nnd placed on a slight eminence to support tho ndvnnce, for which all was now In readiness. Tho bugle sung ugaln, uud the men of ono company sprang forward und began leuplug from rock to rock, silently, steadily moving upon tho farther shoro, Here and there somo brown khaki-clnd llgure slipped and splashed Into the stream with a wild confusion of brown leggings; but on they went Intrepidly, The captain, leading his mon through the torrent, was the first to gttlu the southern shore. He waved his sword, and with a shout hts men ohimbered up the bank and formed In neat alla-nmeat. This was hardly ac complished before a uniformed llgure dashed from a neighboring blackberry thicket and waved a white handker chief. He bore something In his hand, whloh to Ardmore's straining vision seemea to oe a amau wiener uasKou i ueen maae to procure It systematic "It's a tag ot truce I" exclaimed ally. Col. Daubcnspeck, and a sigh the ex preHsed' Incontestable relief broke from that oMcer. "Tho cowards!" cried Ardmore. "Docs that mean thoy won't fight?" "It moans that hostilities must cense until we havo permitted th bearor of the flag to carry his mes sage Into our lines." The bearer of the banket gained the North Carolina shoro and strode rapidly toward Miss Dangerflold, Ard more and Col, Dauhenspeck. Ho hnnded tho trifle of a basket to the colonel, who gazed upon Its contents for a moment with unspeakable rago, The color mounted In his nock almost to the point of apoplexy, and his volco bellowed forth an oath so bleak," so fraught with peril to tho human raco, that Jerry shuddered and turned awny her head as from a blast of flame. Tho colonel cast tho wicker basket from him with a force that nearly toro him from his saddle. It struck against n tree, spilling upon tho earth six small, hard, bright green npples. "My lcttor," said the emissary soberly, "Is for Mr. Thomas Ardmoro, and, unless I am mlstnken, you are that gentleman." Ardmoro seized a long envelope which tho man extended, tore It opon, nnd read: Thomas Ardmore, Ksq., Acting Ooornor of North Carolina, In the Held' Sir, As I understand the present un happy illfferences between the states of North nnd South Carolina, tliey aro due to a reluctance on the part of the gov ernor of North Carolina to take steps to ward bringing to proper punishment In North Carolina an outlaw minted Apple weight. I have tho honor to Inform you that that person Is now In jail at Kit dare, Dltncll county. North Carolina, properly guarded by men who will not flinch If necessary I will support them with every South Carolinian able to bear arms This being the case, a casus belli no longer exists, nnd to prevent the ef fusion of blood I beg you to cease your Hostile demonstrations on our frontier.

I am, sir, your obedient servant, HENRY MAINU QRISWOL.D, For tho Governor of South Cuiollna, "The nerve of It! The sublime cheek of It!" exclaimed Ardmoro, though tho sight of Orlswold's woll known handwriting had shaken him for tho moment. "As a blurfer your little friend Ib quite a wonder," was Jerry's only com ment when she had read tho letter. Ardmoro pronrptly wrote on the back of Orlswold's letter this reply: Henry Maine Orlswold, Ksq , Asslstunt Profesior of Admiralty, Camp Buzzard, S.

There are so many lines of employment connected with this branch of Uncle 8am's official service that a wide choice Is offered your boy In the choice of his life work. It Is a career In which promotion Is slow, but sure, and the outcome Is satis factory It Is also excellent training for many lucrative out side positions. By C. W. JENNINGS. NE of the most Interesting opportunities to start on a successful business careor offered by Undo 8am to the persevering American boy Is to bo found In tho customs service. It Is true that ad vancement Is a little slow nt the be ginning, but It Is certain to come with tlmo nnd Incrensod capnblllty. Ono of the best things connected with It Is that It affords thoso engaged In It nn excellent chnnco to prepare them selves for any lucrntlvo outsldo em ployment which may offer. One who has served nn apprenticeship In some division of tho customs service Is fnr better propnred to conduct mnnylnds of business requiring nn expert knowl edge of such matters than Is the mnn who Is without this valunblo experi ence. As a stepplng-stono to some thing really worth while nn early training In tho customs servlco has ofton been of tho greatest value. Whon your boy Is making his start, however, he will of course have to bo gin at tho very bottom, unless ho should havo had special training In Borne ono line and Is ready to start In a higher position. In this event ho would havo to ho at least 21 years old; for only beginners can bo under thnt age. This article, however, Is written for tho boy and not tho man. Wo shall theroforo assume that your boy Is 1C or n littlo over, Is In good health, and knowB how to rend nnd wrlto nnd do a littlo figuring. Ho will havo to tnko a civil servlco ex amination before the commission; but Its scopo will not bo mrfro than ordi nary, nnd nftor ho has gone through nil tho formal requirements specified by Undo Sam his nnmo will bo added to tho list of ollglbles, nnd nfter n few weeks or months ho will bo notified to report for duty. Ho may learn all ho has to do by writing to" tho CIyII Servlco Commission at Washington, which has ready a lot of printed docu ments containing Information and in structions. His first work will bo thnt of mes senger boy, for vi'hlch ho was exam ined, nnd his pay $300 n year, or $30 a month rather more than messenger boys ore paid In civil llfo. He cannot advance nbove this grndo till ho Is 20, when ho will be eligible to tako tho examination for regular messenger. But during this tlmo he will be mak ing himself cnpnblo In his own lino and that Immediately ahead of him, so that ho can pass the compnrntivoly simple examination with flying colors and ho rated ono of tho best in tho division with which ho Is connected, Thin examination, known as tho third grade, is on tho following sub jects: Spelling, arithmetic, letter writing, penmanship and eopvlmr from plain copy. It Is not an advanced ex amination on theso topics, only tho simpler problnms nnd as to pro ficiency. As soon as ho passes It nnd Is promotod to tho formal position of mesHenger his pay will bo Increased In ono Jump to $840 a year, or $70 a month, nnd ho will bo set to doing more Important duties In tho same lino ho has been following. This work ho must pursuo for a year; for ho must bo 21 boforo ho( can tnko tho further promotion to tllo position of sub-clerk. Now ho 'will bo stnrtod on a regular lino of udvnnconient, rising from clerk ship to clerkship, encu of more Im portance llinn tho ouo before, and each promotion, which Is mndo overy six monfhs, carrying nn Incrcnso of $200 n year In pay. This goos on till ho Is chief clerk of tho division In which ho Ih working find Is dfuwlng from $2,500 to $3,000 annually. It Is u comparatively long step bo foro he finally becomes chlof clerk, generally requiring from 15 to 30 years from tho tlmo ho began; bo that ho comes Into this important position about tho tlmo ho Is 35. If ho should hnve chosen what Is known as tho entry, tho drawbnek, the bond nnd wnrehoimo, or tho passenger bnggngo division, nn chief clerk ho will ho an nctlng deputy collector, which menus thnt In tho nbsenco of tho real deputy collector he -will bo hood of tho divi sion and will havo tho direction of from 100 to 200 employees, nnd will be noxt to tho collector In nuthorlty. Tho colloetorshlp itsolf Is n politlcnl position and pays. In Now York, $12,000 annually. Tim Inst promotion In regular order thnt Is within tho regulations Is to tho deputyshlp of one of tho divisions, un der either tho appraiser's, tho survey or's, or any ono of the othor divisions, currying a snlnry up to ns high us $3,500 a year, or, in tho cuso of spo rlnl deputies, up to $0,000. Special doputles aro not govorned by tho pro motion regulations of tho civil servlco, but aro appointed by tho head of tho division, and nro gonernliy chosen from nmong thoso who hnvo mndo tho greatest ndvnncoinont. Thus it Is possible for ono to becomo tho chlof special deputy chosen by tho collector of customs, tho mnn nt tho hend of the customs work of nny port, n posi tion which, In Now York, carries n salary of $0,000, or $500 a month. Advancement from thU on Is depen dent upon tho proficiency nttalnod bv your boy. Has his business ability at tracted the attention ot outsldo firms? Tho government Is ono of tho best de velopers of business in tho country, and men who have attained eminence In their work uiulor Its supervision are In demand outBlde. This condi tion exists in pract'.-ally all lines of government work; so that ono's fu ture. If laid on tho foundntlon of Un cle Sam's tuition, Is assured. Thus, chief clerks and deputies from tho various divisions under the con trol of tho Treasury Department aro In demand as cashiers, auditors, buy ers, appraisers, or other important po sitions with loading Arms, especially thoso engngod In the Importing or ox porting business, and generally bo come strong factors In the prosperity of the companies with which they ore connected, Tho writer knows ono man, for in stance, who was engaged by a big im porting house ns its chief foreign buyer at n salary of $12,000 a year, and wont1 to Europe with a force of a dozen experts to conduct that ond of tho firm's business. HrS training In the government appraiser's depart ment had given him Intimate knowl edge of values of goods Imported Into tho United States, and his services were In demand. Many of tho largest firms engaged In customs brokerage, a prominent business In ports of entry throughout tho United States, nro composed, at least In pnrt, by former employees of the government customs service, nnd there Is not n successful ono of them who does not make thousands of dol lars a year. Finally, tho Treasury Department, which Is ut the head of nil things por tnlnlng to tho customs servlco, con tains many men of great ability who have grown tired of tho strain of com petitive callings and have taken exam inations that admit them to Uncle Sam's big family of official workers. Theso men enjoy nil the comforts of n oprtaln and easy job, at a regular salary, unnttected by industrial condi tions, and at tho same tlmo maintain a standing In tho community that la most dcslrnblo. The hours or work In tho customs service are comparatively brief. In Now York, tho largest port of entry In the country, they are 9:30 to 4. and, besides, tho employees nre given two weeks' vncatlon with full pay every yenr, (Cppyrlght, 1910, by Uw Associated Lit erary Press.)

At a town a fow miles from her parent's home she hired an nutomobllo and asked tho chauffeur to drive her with as much speed as possible to hor destination. Tho ronds were very bad, nnd the car, making good speed up hill and down dale, over rocks and ruts, seemed bound to shake overboard Its occupants. After a little of this Jolting the chauffeur turned to his faro nnd de manded: "I say, ma'am. Do you wear false teeth?" "What Impudence!" exclaimed Thais X. "Oh, ma'am, It Is not from Impu dence," returned tho chauffeur, "that I asked you the question. It Is bo cause the road Is bad, tho rocks are hard, and If you wear false teeth, you would do well to remove them until we strike the pike. I've had enough accidents of that description."
