- When .Meyer came to J?ineville, lie
gave, his .aaine.'as Wilhelna Windmeyer,
J- . and. it. was promptly changed by the
- citizeos-to BillJieyer.
He Game; direct from the fatherland
to Bake Pineville his home. He thought
it -was his daty, too, to tell everybody
he bad, left Ta sweetheart behind, and
4hat it'Kasjrfor her, sake thathe was
working to.Toake.aiJome. Her name
was Xnken. She. was very beautiful, he
sidn and-so good that it seemed almost
a miracle she had lived to the age of 20.
It was this loyalty to the girl he had
promised to, marry, and who was so far
acay that ide Meyer a favorite with
4 everyooay m jranevine.
" 2T;Bgtye?''Was slow easy; going
fellow, and the one thought about lien-
ken -seemed to occupy every cranny of
hisithiBkiug. apparatus to the exclusion
of every other, thought. He was a very
small man, and that and the wooden
leg he wore, he said, had saved him
;fro Joiag-.duty as a soldier.
Meyer found employment with Judge
Peterkin. The wakes were low. but it
wa a -steady job, and that was what
'Hegmrx&OBt jdesired.
During his first year in Pineville
Meyer gained a little sum of money and
lost -fowsfiagers and .part- of his nose.
' -He-.waa trying to whistle "Die Wachfc
junBhine" down the barrel of an old
musket when the gun went off accident-tally
.and-carried away parfcof zhia nasal
organ. The fingers were cut off with a
small circular .saw used for cutting fire
wood. Two fingers, on. one hand, were cut off
first. . When the wounded hand had been
tied up, Judge Peterkin, his daughter
- Molly and Aunt Phyllis, the cook, fol
lowed Meyer- out to the woodshed to be
. shown how the accident had occurred.
. "It jnust have been a.piece of pure
carelessness on your part," said the
judge, looking very severe. "Now show
me how it was done."
"I vas singing 'Over Die Garten'
Vail, ' " said Meyer. "Deu I-pick up a
- shriek of wood like dis" picking one
up with his uu wounded hand "und
den I hold it like dis, und deu de shriek
shlip .like dis, und den my fincers vas
cutoff like dis.." And that was how
Meyer oanie tQ Jose the second two fin
gers. The second year Meyer laidfup an
other Efiwll-sum of money-aud was di
- vested of -part'of an ear, two toes and a
-good deal of his hair. The ear and toes
were lost accidentally and the hair in
cidentally from natural causes.
v V Why, Meyer, Lenkeu won't .know
you when Ehe sees you again, yon are
'such a-wreck!" said Molly to him one
day.
"Veil. ouaybe sol" bc.siched, but in
a;moment4he confidence in his sweet
t'i' ...heart'ii steadfastness returned "Oh,
she vas so goot, Miss Molly, und so boo
. -tiful, " he. said, "dat it makes no differ-i-once-to
her how I look I She vas true all
de-time."
TheniMolly thought she would see if
MeyerwouldJiot pay her,a compliment.
:"t ' lfHow does Leuken look, Meyer?
Does she look something like me?" she
'ijk Nasked.
f "T Like ypu?' ' he exclaimed. 'Lenken
Hi Vdon't look, like nobody. Mis3 Wiggin
Jopk like you maybe, but Lenken vas
different."
'.-' Miss Wiggin was Molly's rival beau-
,ty in Pineville, and the reference to her
made- the latter flush very red in the
1 face. Meyer laughed merrily.
"You don't look pooty ven you look
- like dat, Miss Molly," he said.
S-'Tss h $ ThatLxhere enme clianges, ana JHeyer

Mover had to look out for himself as
'beet he could. Truei Molly still inter
eete&lierself in him as much tis possi
ble, but she had new .cares and new du
ties now that claimed her 'attention
most of the time.
But Meyer was always hopeful and
in good humor. His every thought, act
and deed was to accomplish something
to bring the day nearer when he could
write to,Lenken and telL her. that he
had made a home for her. It was all for
Lenken.
"How long since you, heard from
Lenken?" Molly asked him one day.
MeyeKthought awhile,
. ."A little over two years ago," he re
cplied: "And when,rdidypu write to her?"
. "Oht dat vasJtiree;yearsgo.,'
"Meyer, .yom.ought to be ashamed of

"Ko, it vss all do sam " Meyer per

"Maybe so,, may be'.npt,-' doggedly.
"Why?"
"I wast to bay datt land, yon own
down on de river," ie. said.- " You sell
me dat land. I write pooty oon maybe."
The matter was riot settled jnst.then,
but a lew days later it was. and Meyer
became a landowner in Pineville
"What are you going to do now?"
x:sked Molly.
"I make a fine farm, one big garten,
und baild oae little house. und Lenken
mad me live dera tuad get rich like ev

afterward to make you happy.' "
rtDid you lose your leg for Lenken,
Meyer?" Molly asked,;greatly interested.
".Maybe I did, but. some odder day
yett Lenken comejou ask her."
For once Meyer was rushing things.
In a short while he had cleared several
acres of land and a little later began to
build the house. When the house was
completed, he came to Molly in high
spirits.
'Lenken is coming nest weekl" he
cried. 'Ach, ;Gottf!iyas so -glad!" ,
Molly inquired 'the- day .twtMeyer1
-could not telLhcr; Ho said.'hoAvasgoisg
to Tvatch every incoming train'-rmtil'She'
arrived. Molly, too, somehow managed-
to be at the .depot at train, time,, and
watched Meyer.
"I am so curious-to get a first glimpse
at Lenken," she said to herself. "I
have wondered so long whatsheiooks
like and have heard her praised so much
by Meyer that the 'curiosityis almost
killing me."
One evening when, the train came: in
she saw Meyer rush forward and knew
that Lenken bad come at last. She
peeped around the corner and sawa wo
man looking around bewildered. That
woman had beautiful.eyes. MpllyJoolced
straight into them for a moment,' and
everything else in the woman's appear
ance was forgotten.
"Come, Lenken," Meyer, whispered,
touching her hand. "Ach, du lieb
chen I" he murmured as their yes met.
Then both turned, holding .each other
by tho hand like children, and started
to walk away.
As Molly looked after them there was
a soft moisture in her eyes. Then she
roused herself and, smiling, murmured,
"Why, she must weigh at the very least
200 pounds!"
The bell of the locomotive rang out a
warning. There were puffing and wheez
ing, .and the train was in motion. Then
there came a piercing scream, and the
train stopped suddenly.
When Molly looked through the crowd
that gathered in a moment to see what
had happened, she saw Meyer lying on
the ground, and Lenken was bending
above him.
Molly pressed sp closer. Meyer looked
up and i-aw her. "It y as-for Lenken,"
he said, his eyes twinkling merrily.
Then he added, "But I tinksit vas only

"The Buccaneers of Our Coast" is the
title of a, series of narrative sketches
that Frank; R. Stockton is writing for
St Nicholas. In speaking of John F.s
quemellng, who joined the buccaneers
and became thefr historian, Mr. Stock
ton says:
It must bare, been a strange thing for
a man accustomed, to pens and . ink, to
yardsticks and scales, to offer to enroll
himself 'in accompany of bloody, big
bearded pirates, but a man must ea,

son or other, certainly not on account of
bis bravery and daring, Esquemeling
was very well received by. the pirates of
Tortuga. Perhaps they liked him be
cause he was a mild malmered man and
so different from themselves.
As forcE,sguemeling himself,-he soon
came to eotertaintbe highest opinions
jpfhis pirate jcompanions. He looked
uppn. tne Duccaneers who naa aistui
.gjuhedjthemsejyes as great heroes, and
it must have been extremely gratifying
to thosesavago vfellowsrtotell. Esque

it was not long oeioro nis miense aa
miration of the buccaneers and their per
formances' began -to produce in bim the
feeling .that .these great exploits should
not bo lost to the world, and so he set
about writing their lives and adventures.
. He. remained with the pirates for sev
eral years and during that time worked
very industriously getting together ma?
terial for his history. When ho returned
;to his own country in 1672, he there
completed a book which ha called "The
Buccaneers of America; or, The True
Account of the Most Remarkable As
mults Committed of Late Years Upon

From this title it is probable that in
the capacity of reporter our literary pi-,
rate accompanied his comrades on their
yarious -voyages and assaults, and. al
though he states he was present at many
of "those tragedies" he makes no refer
ence to any deeds of valor or cruelty
performed byliimself, whioh shows him
to have been a wonderfully conscien
tious historian. There are persons, how
eyer, who doubt his impartiality, be
cause, as he liked the French, he al
ways gave the pirates of that nationality
the credit for most of the bravery dis
played on their expeditions, and all of
the magnanimity and courtesy -if there
happened to beany, while the surliness,
brutality and extraordinary wickedness
were all ascribed to the English.
Hew. a Chameleon Changes Color.
Tho chameleon, is a little lizard whe
possesses the wonderful power of chang
ing his color to suit his own conven
ience. Florida produces several species
of these iizards in abundance. 'JLhis is
the process by which the' little lizard
effects his changes:
Certain colors through the medium of
the-optic nerve produce a contraction or
expansion of the pigment or color cells.
The result is a protective tint or one
which resembles that upon which the
animal, is resting. The eye receives the
stimulus or impression, which passes
ffom the optic nerve to the sympathetic
nerve, so reaching the various series of
tho lizard's little color cells under the
skin.
The pigment cells are distributed all
over the body with more or iess regular
ity, and upon their contraction and ex
pension depends the prevailing color of
the animal.
The scientist discovered this by blind
foldings lizard and found that when it
could not see the color of the surround

WHISTLING WELLS.
Nataral Eareaeters Which Foretell Storms
la Wisconsin.
A freak of nature which is attracting
considerable attention is a series of
blowing or "whistling" wells located
in the northern part of the town of Eu
reka, in Polic county, Wis. There are
six: of theso hysterical wells, ranging in
depth from 120 to 1G0 feet. The one
owned by James Coltin exhibits most
remarkable features. This, well is 120
feet deep and was dug 15 years ago.
The first 20 feet "was hardpan and the
rest coarse gravel.
Before a rainstorm the wind, blows
out of this well with great force, mak
ing a roaring sound that can be heard a
long distance. Thewiud is so hot that
water placed on the cover of the well
will boil. The wind blows out only be
fore a storm, and the severity and du
ration of the storm are always in exact
proportion to the force of this current
and its duration before, the storm com
mences. It is therefore an accurate and
trustworthy barometer, or vice, versa,
with equal accuracy, but remains quiet
in settled weather.;
In winter a current of air is drawn
in before a change of weather just aa
forcibly as it blows out in hot weather.
This current will freeze the water 120
feet from the surfaco of the earth as
quickly as it would at the surface, and,
though many attempts have been made
to use a pump in the well, they have
all failed, and a number of pumps of
different makes have been destroyed by
the water freezing and bursting the
cylinders and pipes.
The other fivo wellSj which resemble
this one in many respects, are all locat
ed within the radius of about one mile
and vary in depth from 130 to 160 feet.
All sorts of theories have been, ad
vanced concerning an underground pas
sage, but no outlet has ever been discov
ered, and if there is one it must be a
great distance away in order to foretell
the approach of storms so long a time
in advance. Philadelphia Record.

A Syracnse. woman was in Boston
some time ago, and. she had occasion to
get a check cashed, being without ready
-money. She bad no friend who- was
easily available, but she went: to a bank
and presented ber check. Of course she
was told she would: have to be identi
fied. The cashier of the bank suggested
that she might have one of her cards.
She took out her cardcasc, but the card
she.produced proved to bo that of one of
her friends. This caused her a great
deal of confusion," but the accommodat
ing cashier' suggested that she might
prove her identity by the initials on her
cardcase. But these, alas, proved to be
those of her'niother. Her confusion con
tinued to increase until she thought of
the initials on her handkerchief. The
marked article was produced to be put
in evidence, but when- it was examined
it was found to bear the initials of an
other friend. She was thwarted in every
direction, but the cashier was "easy."
Boston cashiers are apparently , not as
strict as those in this part of the coun
try, for this particular one said he
"guessed" tbat it was all right, and ha
cashed the check. Conductors of flim
