Athletes of the West.
From Everybody’s Magazine.
Out of the west come many young
txK-hinvars. In the last football sea
son the Yale eleven had six westerners,
Harvard had four, Princeton had three
and Pennsylvania three. Twenty-seven
per cent, of Yale's student population
are westerners. Y'et this 27 per cent,
furnish 46 per cent, of the athletes.
There are 576 westerners among the
4,328 men at Harvard university, or 13
per cent., and the westerners furnish
17 per cent, of the athletes. Either the
•westerners have better muscles and
more of them or they know better how
to use them.
Science of Bell Ringing.
From the New York Press.
It was Sunday morning, and the bell
ringer had just finished ringing the
chimes that called the godly to church.
“Bell ringing Is a science. Did you
know that?” he said. "It is called
campanology, and there are abstruse
and technical terms in It, like ’Kentl
treble bob,’ ’Stedman cinques,’ ’dou->
hie court bob,’ ’dodges,’ ’noils,’ and
’stingoes.’ Each of these terms defines
a certain phase or kind of bell ringing.
In England there Is a society, the Cen
tral Council of Bell llingers, that every'
campanologist desires ardently to be
lon™ to.
"Maybe you think bell ringing is slm-;
pie? Do you know what a yeal Is? A
peal in ringers' parlance is a series of
6.000 changes rung upon a chime, iioi
change occurring more than once.”

Many Sunday Murders.
From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
"Have you ever noticed how many
fnurders are commuted oh Sunday?”
asked the old police captain. "This
thing has bothered me for many years
and I have never been able to figure
out why it Is that most homicides
among white people are committed on
Sundays. With the negroes it is dif
ferent Saturday night is the favorite
time among the negroes, and this, I
guess, is due to the fact of Saturday be
ing a pay night, and a night looked
upon by the negroes as a night of jolli
fication. In many cases these occa
sions of jollification wind up In mur
ders. The majority of the most sen
sational murders that have occurred
4n New Orleans in the last year or two
have been commltteed on Sundays, and
there is no apparent reason for it. If
you will search your memory you will
find that what I say is so. Many will
tell you that these murders are the re
sults of Saturday night sprees, but
■the cases I have In mind cannot be
j classed there. In the first place these
murders have been committed by per
sons not under the influence of liquor,
and in near:y every case this has been
shown to he so. You remember the
Luciano murder, don’t you? Well,
that was committed on Sunday. Pearl
Murphy was shot by Chris Modersohn
on a Sunday, and Mrs. Margaret Moore
■shot Hickey on the same day. Juities
McLaughlin, who will leave shortly to
ifctuvt on his life term In the peniten
tiary. committed the murder charged
against him on Sunday, and John H.
Allman was murdered by Doyle and
Potter on the Subbnth. In nearly all
cases where the murder is out of the or
dinary and where It attracts more
than usual attention, you will find that
Sunday Is the day on which the crime
j is committed. Tills Is a problem which
I will leave to others to figure out. It's
by me."

CHAPTER XL.—Continued.
"Score one for me, Jack!" he cried.
"We were fair at t'other end of the
mountain, and 'tv.as 1 told Eph there
was only one man in the two Carolinas
; who could swear the match of that.”
l Then he whirled upon my judges.
"What is this, gentlemen?—a court
! martial? Captain Ireton is my friend,
and as true a patriot as ever drew
j breath. What Is your charge?”
Colonel Sevier, in whose command
! Richard and the old borderer had
j fought in the hilltop battle, undertook
to explain. I stood self-confessed as
the bearer of dispatches from Lord
Cornwallis and Major Ferguson, be
said, and I had claimed that the orders
had been so altered as to delay the ma
jor's retreat and so to bring on the bat
tle. But they had just found Lord
Cornwallis' letter In my pocket, still
sealed and undelivered. And the tenor
of it was precisely opposite to that of
an order calculated to delay the ma
jor's march, as Mr. Jennifer could see
if he would read it.
While Sevier was talking, the old
borderer was tumbling in the breast of
j his hunting-shirt, and now he produced
j a packet of papers tied with red tape.
“ 'Pears to me like you Injun-killers
! from t'other side o' the mounting is in
a mighty hot sweat to hang some
body," he said, as cooly as If lie were
addressing a mob of underlings.
"Here's a mess .o’ billy-doos with Lord
Cornwallis’ name on 'em that I found
'mongst Major Ferguson's leavings. If
you'll look 'em over, maybe you’ll find
out, lmmejitly if not soner, that Cap’n
John here is telling ye the plumb
truth."
The papers were examined hastily,
and presently John Sevier lighted upon
the dispatch l had carried and deliv
ered. Thereat the colonels put their
heads together; and then tuy ease was
reopened, with Sevier as spokesman.
"We have a letter here which ap
pears to be the original order to Fer
guson, Captain Ireton. Cap you repeat
from memory the postserlptum which
you say was added to It?"
I gave the gist of my old patriarch's
addendum as well as I could; and
thereupon suspicion Med away and my
late judges would vie with one another
in hearty frontier hand-grasps and
apologies, whilst the throng that ringed
us in forgot caution and weariness and
gave me a cheer to wake the echoes
’Twas whilst this hurst of gratulation
was abuzz that Ephraim Ycutes raised
a cry of his own.
“Stop that there black-leged Imp o'
the law!” he shouted, pushing his way
out of the circle. "He’s the one that
ought to hang'"
There wns a rush for the wagon bar
ricade, a clatter of horse-hoofs on the
hillside below, and Yeates' rille went
to his face. But the bullet >1ew
wide, and the black-garbed figure
clinging to the horse's mane was soon
out of sight among the trees.
"Ez I allow, ye'd better look out for
that yaller-skinned little varmint,
Cap'n John," quoth the old man. cuie
fully wiping his rille preparatory to re
loading It. "He's rank pizen. he is.
and ye’ll have to break his neck sooner
'r later. I lowed to save ye the trou
ble, but old Bess got mighty foul yes
tlddy, with all the shootings and go
ings oil, and I huln't got no lead-brush
to clean her out,”
Now that 1 was fully exonerated 1
was free to go and come as 1 chose:
nay, more, 1 was urged to east in my
lot with the over-mountain partisans, j
As to this, I took counsel with Rich
ard Jennifer whilst the colour's were j
setting their commands in order for tin
march and loading the prisoners with
the captured guns and ammunition.
"What Is to the fore, Dick?" 1 asked:
“more fighting?"
The lad shook Ills head. "Never an
other blow, I feur Jack. These l ows
crossed the mountain to whip Fergu
son. Having done It they will go
home.”
I could not forego a hearty curse
upon this worst of all militia weak
nesses, the disposition to disperse as
soon as ever u battle was fought.
" 'Tis nigh on to a crime,” said I.
“This victory, smartly followed up.
might well he the turning of the tide
for us."
But the lad would not admit the
qualifying condition. " 'Twill he no less
as It is," he declared. "Mark you, Jack:
'twill put new life into the cause and
nerve every man of ours afresh. And
as for the redcoats. If my Lord Corn
wallis gets the news of it In a lump,
as he should, Gates will have p'enty of
time to set himself ill motion, slow as
he is."
'Tvvas then I had an inspiration, and
I thought upon it for a moment.
"What are your plans, Richard?"
He shook Ills head. "I have none
worth the name."
"Then you are not committed to
Colonel Sevier for a term of service?"
"No; nor to Cleaveland. nor to Mc
Dowell, ror any. We heard there was
to he fighting hereaway—Ephraim
Y'eates and I—and we came as volun
teers.”
"Good! then I have a thought which
may stand for what it is worth. To
make the most of tills victory over Ma
jor Ferguson, Gates should be apprised
at once and by a sure tongue; and his
Lordship should have the news quick
ly, too, and In a lump, as you say. Let
us take horse and ride post, we two;
you to Gates at Hillsborough, and 1 to
Charlotte.”
"I had thought of my part of that."
he said In a muse. Then he came alive
to the risk 1 should run. "But you
can't well go back to Cornwallis now.
Jack; 'tis playing with death. There
will he other news-carriers—there are
sure to be; and a single breath to
whisper what you have done will hang
you higher than Hainan."
1 shrugged at this. " 'Tis hut a war
hazard.”
He looked at me curiously. I saw a
shrewd question in his eyes and set in
stant action as a barriqr In the way of
Us asking.
"Let us find Colonel Sevier and beg
us the loan of a pair of horses," said
I; and so we were kept from coming
upon the dangerous ground of pointed
questions and evasive answers.
Somewhat to my surprise, both Sevier
i and Shelby fell in at once with our
project, commending it heartily; and I
learned from the lips of that courtliest,
of frontiersmen, "Nolichucky Jack,"
the real reason for the proposed hur
ried return of the over-mountain men.
The Cherokees, never to be trusted,
had, as it seemed, procured war sup
plies from the British posts to the
southward, and were even now on the
verge of an uprising. By forced
marches these hardy borderers hoped (
to reach their homes In time to defend t
them. Otherwise, as both command
ers assured us, they woul# take the
field with Gates.
| "We have done what we could, Cap
i tain Ireton. and not altogether what
we would,” satd Sevier In the summing
■ up. "It remains now for General Gates
| to drive home the wedge we have en
tered." Then he looked me full In the
eyes and asked if I thought Horatio
Gates would be the man to beetle that
wedge well Into the log.
I made haste to say that I knew lit
tle of the general; that I was but a
prejudiced witness at best, since my
father had known and misliked the
man in Hraddock’s Ill-fated campaign
against the French In '55. Hut Rich
ard spoke his mind more freely.
“ 'Tis not in the man at this pass.
Colonel Sevier," he would say; "not |
after Camden. I know our Carolinians
as well as any, and they will never i
stand a second time under a defeated
leader. If General Washington would
send us some one else; or, best of all,
if he would come himself—”
"George Washington; ah, there is a
man, indeed,” said Sevier, his dark
blue eyes lighting up. "Whilst he lives
there Is always a good hope. But we
must be doing, gentlemen, and so must
you. God speed you both. Our com
pliments to General Gates, Mr. Jenni
fer; and you may tell him what 1 have
told you—that but for our redskin
threateners we should right gladly join
him. As for Lord Cornwallis, you.
Captain Ireton, will know best what to
say to him. X pray God you may say 1
It and t ome off alive to tell us how he
took It."
Twas now hard upon ten of the clock
in the forenoon, and we had our last
sight of the brave little army whilst it
was wending its way slowly down the
slopes of King's Mountain. Of what
became of It; how Its weary march
dragged on from day to day; how It
was hampered by the train of captives,
halted by rain-swollen torrents, and |
was well-nigh starved withal; of all
these things you may read elsewhere.
But now you must ride with Richard ]
Jennifer and me, and our way lay to j
the eastward.
All that Sunday we pressed forward,
hasting as we could through the dark
columned aisles of the autumn- j
stripped forest, and looking hourly to
•omc upon Tarleton’s legion marching
out to Ferguson's relief.
Since Richard Jennifer had bidden
lo the hounds in all this middle ground
from boyhood, we were able to take
my blind wanderings In reverse as the
trrow tiles; and by nightfall we were
well down upon the main traveled, road
leading to Beattie's fording of the Ga
la wba.
As your map will show you, this was
taking me somewhat out of my way to
the northward; but it was Richard's
most direct, route to Salisbury and be
yond, and by veering thus we made the
surer of missing Colonel Tarleton, who,
is we thought, would likely cross the ,
liver ut the lower ford.
Once in the high road we pushed on
briskly for the river, nor did we draw
rein until the sweating beasts were
picking their way In the darkness
town the last of the hills which sentl- j
nel the Catawba to the westward.
At the foot of this hill a by-road led
lo Matgnwnn's ford some six miles1
farther down the river, and here, as I
supposed, our ways would lie apart. ]
But when we came to the forking of
the road, Richard pulled his mount into 1
the by-path, dapping the spurs to the
tired horse so that we were a good mile ;
beyond the forking before I could over
lake him. ■
"Mow now. lad?” said I. when I had j
run him down. ‘Would you takeo a

in my own ground here, and that you
know as wdl as I."
“I mm you!" he giitted between his
ieeth. “A hell we are coming near Ap
pleby Hundred you are tierce enough ■
lo be ill of me.”
1 saw liis cl lift at that; how he would '
lake all Ihe chance of capture and a
•TV's rape for tile sake of passing
within a mile ol' Mistress Margery, or
.if Rue house he thought she was in.
"Co back, Dick, wliiist you may." i
laid I. “She is not at Appleby Hun
dred."
He turned upon me like a lion at bay. ■
“What have you drne with her?"
“Deuce, you foolish boy. I am not
her keeper. Iler father took her to
■ liarlotte on the very day you saw her
safe at home."
He reined up short in the narrow
evay. “So?" he said, most bitingiy.
And that is why you take the embassy
lo Lord Cornwallis and tub me off
with the one to Gates. By heaven,
Captain Ireton. we shall change roles
bore and now!"
All, my dears, the love-madness Is
i curious thing. Here was a man who
had saved my life so many times 1
had lost the count of them, feeling for
my throat In the murk of that October
night uk my bitterest foeman might.
And surely it was the love-demon
in me that made me say: "You think
1 am standing In your way. Richard
Jennifer? Well, so 1 am; for whilst
l live you may not have her. Why
don't you draw and cut me down?"
'Twas then Satan marked my dear
lad for his very own.
"On guard!” lie cried; "draw and de- j
fend yourself!” and with that the great
claymore leaped from its sheath to j
flash in the starlight.
What with hisweining back for space j
to whirl the steel I had the time to
parry the descending blow. But at
the balancing instant the brother-hat
ing devil bad the upper hand, whisper- I
ing me that here was the death 1
coveted; that Margery might have her
lover, if so she would, with her Jius
band's blood upon his head.
So J sat motionless while the broad
sword cut its circle in air and came ]
down; and then I knew no more till
I came to with a bees’ hive buzzing in
my ears, to find myself lying in the j
dank grass at the path side. My head 1
was on Richard's knee, and he was
dabbling it with water in liis soaked i
kerchief.
XLI.
HOW I PLAYED THE HOST AT MY
OWN FIRESIDE.
You may be sure that by now the
anger gale had blown itself out. that
the madness had passed for both of us;
"lid when I stirred, Richard broke out
in a tremendous babblement of thanks
giving for that he had not slain me
outright.
"I was mad, Jack; as mad as any
Bedlamite,'’ he would say. "The devil
whispered me that you would fight; j
thut you wanted but a decent excuse !
to thrust me out of the way. And
when I saw you would not stir, ’twas
too late to do aught but turn the flat
of the blade. Oh, God help me! Ill
never let a second thought of that little
Tory prat-a-pace send me to hell
again."
“Nay,” said I; “no such rash prom
ises, I pray you, Richard. We are but
two poor fools, with the love of a worn
an set fair between us. But you need
not fight me for It. The love is yours
—not mine.”
"Don't say that, Jack; I'm selfish
enough to wish it were true; as It Is
not. I know whereof I speak.”
"No," I denied, struggling to my feet;
"it has been yours from the first, Dick,
I am but a sorry Interloper.”
For a moment lie was all solicitude to
know if my head would let me stand; but
when I showed hlrn I was no more than
clumsily dizzy from the effects of the
blow, lie went on.
"I say I know, and I do, Jack. She has
refused me again.”
I groaned in spirit. I knew it must have
rome to that. Yet I would ask when and
where.
" ’Twas on our last day’s riding,” he
went on; "after we had had your note
saying you would undertake a mission
for Colonel Davie.”
I took two steps and groped for the
horse’s bridle rein.
“Did she tell you why she must refuse
you ?”
He help me find the rein for my hand
and the stirrup for my foot.
"There was no ’why’ but the one—she
does not love me.”
"But I say she does, Dick; and I, too,
know whereof 1 speak.”
He flung me into the saddle as a strong
man might toss a boy, and I understood
how that saying of mine had gone into his
blood.
"Then there must be some barrier that
I know not of,” he said. Whereupon he
put hand to head as one who tries to re
member. "Stay; did you not say there
was a barrier, Jack?—when we were
wrestling with death in the Indian fires?
Or did I dream it?”
"You did not dream it. But you were
telling me what she said."
"Oh, yes; ’twas little enough. She cut
me off at the first word as if my speaking
were a mortal sin. And when I would
have tried again, she gave me a look to
make me wince and broke out crying as
If her heart would burst."
I steadied myself as I could by the sad
dle horn and waited till he was up and we
were moving on. Then I would say;
"Truly, there Is a barrier, Richard; if I
promise you that I am going to Charlotte
to remove It once for all, will you trust
me and go about your affair with General
Gates?”
"Trust you, Jack? Who am I that I
should do aught else? When I am cool
and sane, I’m none so cursed selfish; I
could even give her over to you with a
free hand, could I hut hear her say she
loves you as I would have her love me.
But when I am mad. . . Ah, God only
knows the black blood there Is In the
heart at such times."
We rode on together in silence after
that, and were come to the bank of the
river before we spoke again. But here
Dick went back to my warning, saying,
whilst we let the horses drink; '• ’Tla pa
trolled on the other bank, you say?”
“It was when I passed it a few days
igone.”
"Then I will turn back and cross at
Beattie's. ’Twill make you a risk you
seed not take—to have me with you."
But I thought now that the upper ford
might be guarded as well; and If there
must be a cutting of a road through the
enemy’s outpost line for Dick, two could
lo it better and one. So I said;
“No; we are here now, and If need be I
’an lend you the weight of a second
;>lade to see you safe through.”
"And you with your head humming like
i basket of bees, as I make no doubt It
will?”
I laughed. “T should be but a sorry
soldier and a sorrier friend If I should let
1 love-tap with the flat of a blade make
me fail you at the pinch."
He reached across the little gap that
parted us and grasped my hand.
"By God!" he swore, most feelingly,
you are as true as the steel you carry,
Jack Ireton!”
"Nay," said I, in honest shame; "I do
confess 1 was thinking less of my friend
hail of the Importance of the errand he
ides on."
"But if there should be a fight, you will
spoil your chance of coming peaceably to
Charlotte and my lord’s headquarters.”
"if l am recognized—yes. But the night
s dark, and brush with the outpost
teed not betray me.”
A: this lie consented grudgingly, and wo
pushed on to the crossing. Now since this
lording place of Master Macgowan’s has
marched into our history, you will like
• know what the historians do not tell
,ou: namely, how It was but a make
diift wading place, armpit deep over a
muddy bottom from the western bank to
he bar above an island ,.i mid stream,
mil deflecting thence through rocky
(hallows to a point on the eastern bank
mine distance below the island. ’Twas
tore that Lord Cornwallis got entangled
some months later—but 1 must not an
ticipate.
We made the crossing of the main cur
vnt in safety and were a-splash in the
■oekv shallows beyond the island when
we sightend the camp tires of the outpost,
fo ride straight upon the patrol was to
nvlte disaster, and though Jennifer was
’or a charging dash, a hurly-burly with
he steel, and so on to freedom beyond,
’.e listened when I pointed out that our
leasts were too nearly outworn to charge,
uid that the noise we must make would
ouse the camp and draw the fire of every
mere in it long before we could reach the
>ank and come to blade work.
"What for It, then?” he asked, impa
iently. “My courage is freezing whilst
,ve wait."
"There is nothing for it but to hold
straight ou across,” I said.

_ When a girl's thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or a dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is a mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start the menstrual
period in a young girl's life without
pain or irregularities.
Hundreds of letters from young girls
and from mothers, expressing their
gratitude for what Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound has accomplished
for them, have been received by the
Lydia E. Pinlcham Medicine Co., at
Lynn, Mass.
Miss Mills has written the two fol
lowing letters to Mrs. Pinlrham, which
will be read with interest;
Hear Mrs. Phikham:— (First Letter.)
*‘I am but fifteen years of age, am depressed,
hare dizzy spells, chiils, headache and back- i
ache, and as I hnv.e heard that you can give
helpful advice to girls in ray eoudition, Iain
writing you.”—Myrtle Mills, Oquawka, 111.
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— (Second Letter.)
“ It is with the feeling of utmost gratitude
that I write to you to tell you what your
valuable medicine lias done for mo. When I
wrote you in regard to my condition I bad
consulted several doctors, but they failed to
understand my caso and I did not. receive
any benefit from their treatment. I followed
your advice, and took Lydia B. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and am now healthy
and well, and all the distressing symptoms
which I had at. that time have disappeared.”—
Myrtle Mills. Oquawka, 111.
Miss Matilda Borman writes Mrs.
Pinkham as follows:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
“ Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound my monthlies were irregu
lar and painful, and I always had such
dreadful headaches.
“ But since taking the Compound my head
aches have entirely left me, my monthlies are
regular, and I am getting strong and well. I
am telling all my girl friends what Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for
me.”—Matilda Borman, Farmington, Iowa.

She will receive advice absol utely free,
from a source that has no rival in the
