"My start, how it doe come down! II I get there in time It will only be an accident," remarked Uncle Joshua. But he trudged along in the dark un til he felt cerUln he mutt be In the immediate vicinity of the treacheroua Joan, to he stopped to listen. No Bound save that of the wind whist ling through the trees was heard. "Curious," he muttered, "it seems to me if I were in that place I would be waking the echoes around here. I will Invite them to answer." So saying he stepped near the edge of the canon and called: "Hello!" but the only answer he re ceived was the echo of his own voice as it went down the canon or up the mountain side. "Possibly the water has risen and carried them off, and if it has, there Is no hope of their being saved. I wish it was daylight." "Hello!" came from down the canon at this moment. "Just like me. I'm about half way, and if I don't make better progress the next half, or if it don't stop raining, they will all be washed three days out to sea before I can get within easy hail ing distance." With that he started off on a brisk run, which was turned Into a walk, for he was liable to stumble and roll into the rushing waters, at any moment. "I must be there by this time, or else I am not acquainted with this locality. Hello!" "Hello!" "How are you by this time?" "Wet, and almost exhausted. How are you going to pet us out of this?" "Throw you a rope and let you climb out. "We can't do it. There are three of us, my wife and my child." ' 'There Is only one other way. I will make one end fast and you can all hold on tc it while I return and get a mule." "Is that the only plan you can de vise?" "It will be a little risky, but then it's not half as bad as staying there. Will you try it?" "Yes; anything to get out of this." As quickly as possible, Uncle Joshua returned to his cabin, threw a strong set of harness on one of his mules, and then retraced his steps. It seemed a long time to Uncle Joshua, but to those who were waiting his coming, with the angry roar of the water, and the dull grating of logs as they crashed against the boulder and the sides of the canon, it seemed an age. But even as the water rose higher and the sharp snap of falling trees rewmare frequent, the anxious cast awayssuch they must be termed be lieved that the stranger who came to their aid would not be longer than was necessary. And he was not. After a short time they heard him cry: "Hello! down there!" "Alright; we are ready." "Be sure you brace your feet against the side of the gulch, or you may get hurt." Slowly the mule walked from the edge of the gulch, and the first person to land safely was a little girl of ten, without the sign of a bruise. Again the rope was lowered, but as often as Uncle Joshua would call to know if they were ready, as often would he receive an answer that they would be in a moment. CHAPTER III. Below a heartrending scene was being enacted. Husband begged wife to be the next to ascend, but with as much fervor she urged him to go. Gradually the water was rising, and there was hope for but one to be saved. "You must go, Marie. Think of our darling child. She needs you to guide her. Go, as you love her and me, be fore we are both washed from this rock." "She needs you as a protector, Jules, and that is what she needs most in this rough country. No, you must go." "Then I will. Farewell, we shall meet In that other land," and.stooplng, he imprinted a kiss on her lips. A long, vivid flash of lightning im mediately lighted up everything, and two anxious faces that were turned to ward the occupants of the boulder as sumed an ashen hue, as they saw the husband and father deliberately throw himself Into the rushing torrent. Then a startled face was upturned in prayer, which looked as white as marble to Uncle Joshua and his young iha Diva 1 v a A i it . . vu'6' vujj luoujeni am tne wo man remain in that attitude, then she mechanically reached for the rope, tied it securely around herself and gave the signal to be drawn up. Again the mule was started, and in a short time the unconscious form of the wife appeared above the eiiim nf canon. Uncle Joshua knew it would not do to let her remain out of doors in her cinally, she would receive. It never takes a maa of Uncle Joshua's temperament long to dli cover the best way out of a difficulty, to when he had concluded that she must be taken to his cabin, he also realized the fact that he would have to convert him self into a pack mule, for, while he had such an animal at hand he could not use it in this case as he could not act as guide and keep the inanimate form upon the beast's back at the same time. Inere was only one other war to reach shelter soon, and that was to let the child follow with the mule while he led the way with his unconscious burden. Slowly he led the way past huge boulders, around fallen trees.over deep g ulleys, and through mlnature forests, until his strong arms were almost breaking, and his load seemed ten times its weight. Then a short halt would be made, until he felt he could proceed Occasionally his foot would slip as he stepped on a huge stone, and as it be came detached from Its resting place it would go crashing down the mountain side, gathering force as it went, and unlodglng others in its transit, until it would seem that the whole mountain was movlng,then,as quick as lightning, all would be quiet as the grave, save for the whistling wind and reverberat ing thunder, until the unloosed mass struck either the water with a dull splash or a projecting ledge far down the canon, with a sharp, rifle-like snap. Then, again, the whole universe would seem to be wrapped In a bril liant, dazzling light, succeeded by a darkness thick and oppressive, until it would seem next to impossible for a person to remain self-possossed and keep his bearings. But through all this confusion Uncle Joshua plodded onward, only stopping for short rests, and It was less than an hour after he left Joan canon that he laid the small, limp form on his hard pallet and began applying restoratives. Every effort was fruitless for a time, but finally she slowly opened her eyes looked about her in a dazed way, closed them again and was soon sleeping. Seeing that nothing more could be done for the patient, he turned his at tention to the child "You must have your clothing dried, child, so I will build a fire; but first tell me your name." "My name is Jessie. Jessie Jacquet." "Well, Jessie, you remain by your mother until I put my mule away and build a fire, then you must stay by the fire until your garments are perfectly dry, else you may contract a cold." JJut a few moments elapsed before Uncle Joshua returned, or before he had a bright fire blazing up the chim ney, "Jessie, child, come and sit here,and I will find you something to eat," said Uncle Joshua, as he drew a rude three legged stool in front of the fire, so that the greater part of the warmth would reach her. Then spreading what few provisions he had cooked on a table, he told her to eat whenever she felt like it. He then turned his attention to Marie Jacquet, who was still sleeping, out not restfullv, for every now and then she would moan, and incoherent words would tremble on her lips. "Poor thing, she is again going over that terrible trial in the canon; but no, what was that? Surely I did not mistake that name! Marie Tabor? Not the Marie I knew." Unconsciously he turned and bent nearer the face of the woman as he ut tered the last words, and as If she had been startled, the sleeper opened her eyes, and as she caught the steady gaze of Uncle J 06hua centered upon her, she passed her hands over her eyes,and then glanced again into his face. As though she had done something terrible to this man who was a total strangera moment before,she extended her hands and wailed: "You know me? Then forgive me the past." "The past, of which you speak, has been dead for years though not for gotten. I, rather, should be the one to ask forgiveness. You were too young tnen to care for anyone, but I never could see it until I was from you. But if you will consent, we will not review CHAPTEK IV. If the reader will go bark twelve years with me, I will lake him to the home of Marie Tabor, a strikingly handsome girl of seventeen, the relg-n-Ing beauty of the tittle town ttrwhlch she lived, fler face was faultless In iu ever? outline; light blue, dreamy eyes lent an additional charm, while soft, hazel hair, falling to wavy masses over her perfect shoulders, made her simply bewitching. CHAPTEK V, Nearly three months had passed since their first meeting, and Uncle Jo.hu was jutt about making up his mind that ne was getting too old to live single any longer though he was not yet twenty-five and that he knew a little girl who would make an excellent Mrs. Smith, when some trifling thing came between them, He never tried to make up, but left soon alter for Oakdale, where we first not one of them ever dared to hope to claim her as his wife. It never entered their heads that she was no greater personage after her re turn from the great city, where she at tended school, than they; but they all looked upon her as a superior being, and there was not one in town that would not have done her bidding at any time. When she had been home about three months, and time was beginning to nang heavy on her hands, a new ar rival was announced in the town. Her desire to return to the city van ished when this piece of information was brought, and she began planning to see how she could get an introduc tion at once, for. as she exorcised it. she was just dying out of curiosity and lonesomeness." Fate seemed against her, for a week had passed since the stranger's arrival, and she had not even had the pleasure 01 seeing him, let alone of being introduced. The following however, was to Not a few were her admirers, but made his acquaintance. He followed his calling there and soon had accumu lated considerable real estate Very few about Oakdale knew of his disappointment, and they often won dered why he never married Hut what became of M.rle Tabor? The question is easily asked but hard to answer. When she learned that Uncle Joshua had left without so much as bidding ner good-by, she became depressed and began to wear a melancholy expression Then she was taken sick, and for weeks she laid at death's door, finally opening her eyes to the light of a New Year's day. Jt is not necessary to dwell on the days of her convalescence. They are uninteresting. They are usually re plete with cross or petulant words, baren of even a smile. And Mario's experience was not an exception. When she was fully recovered, how ever, she was her old, bright, vivacious self again. . Once she was out riding with Jules Jacquet, and he began to make profes sion of his love. "You know, Marie, how I love you, how I long to make you my wife; so why will you keep on saying 'Walt?' " "If you- must know, I do not never can care for you as a wife should for her husband." "Am I not willing to sacrifice my happiness to try and drive that Bad look from your eyes? Come, now, let us be common-place and talk this mat ter over sensibly." "I will not. You may drive me home. I am tired, almost tick." "Will you not listen to me?" "Not a word on that subject." "Thtn we will return." It took but a few minutes to reach home, "Gocd afternoon, Marie," he said as he resumed his seat after helping her to alight. "Good afternoon." That was the last she heard from Jules Jacquet for several days. One evening she was seated on the porch, reading, when a boy ran ud. breathlessly, and handed her a note, and without even waiting to sue if there was an answer, tore off down the street like wild fire. Upon opening the note, she dis covered it was written In Uncle Joshua's hand, and read as follows: "Watkins Glen, June 22, 1844. Marie: Come at once to No. , I am sick, probably dying, and wish to mane an explanation. Do not fail, or we may be parted forever, Joshua Smith.", (To be Continued.) Thursday evening, witness one of the grandest social events of the season, a party in honor of the return of Judge c-ngle's son from the west, and on that evening she felt certain of making a conquest. She was, by nature, a perfect coquet, and never let a chanco sIId to add a new victory to her already long string. Gifted as she was, with the easy, un pretentious, yet captivating powers of ready conversationalist, it was no easy task to lead a man from stage to stage, and then laughingly cast him aside. She was fully determined to practice her art on the new comer. He should be her slave for a time. At last the looked-for night came, and leaning on the arm of the judge's son, Marie Tabor glided Into the al ready well-filled parlor. Without any show of expectation she glanced around the room, giving par ticular inenas a nod and a smile, hut at the same time she detected a stranger in animated conversation with a number of young people in the fur ther end of the-room, "How pleasant everything is, and how those young folks are enjoying men. selves, who is the strange gen tlemen?" she soon after asked her es cort. ..t, "Joshua Smith. He was formerly a college chum of mine, but I have not seen him for three years, until my re turn from the west. Shall I Introu him?" , "Not now. Later in the evening. He seems to want to talk now. and vou know I generally want to do that, so I will wait" A short time after Joshua craved an Introduction to the blue-eyed girl and was soon seated beside her. tellinc of the times he and the judge's son had had together. She sat and listened, as he related the many ludicrous scrapes he had been in, unable to break the hold he seemed to have upon her. Finally he asked her questions about herself. It was then she Wan t.ri to charm him as she had charmed other. Her silverv lamrh. mnainoi 1 F mwivui voice, expressive eyes and studied ges tures were freely bestowed, but thev made no Impression on him whatever. He was an attentive listener, but not an enthusiastic one. "I must not monopolize your com pany, Miss Tabor," he was soon saying, "there are others here who are anxious to share your smiles. I ehall bid vou i . " I gooa evening, requesting, however.the privilege of calling on you." "Yes, you may call, Mr. Smith. If you had not asked 1 was going to ex tend an invitation to you, for it's so dull here. Don't you find it nni' "Indeed I have not.

With that he left her, and finding the judge, took his leave, expressing himself much pleased with the people and the party.

Our Schools Should be Patriotism. a lew weeits ago we had the nrivi lege of publishing some extracts from an address by Prof. W. H. Shahan, of r-acinc Lutheran University before one of our patriotic societies, which were copied by some of our patriotic ex 1 . . cuanges in tne east. We again take the liberty to give our readers portions of some extempore remarks made by mm Deiore tne pupils of the Parkland public school at their recent closing exercises, ine professor is a thor voKu iiiuDiiuao painoi, ana never looses an opportunity to give utterance to his patriotic sentiments. We regret we have space only for that portion of nis very Interesting remarks which pertain especially to patriotic prl ciples. "I cannot close this talk without one more thought (and may it fall as good seea in productive soil), as to your duty, as citizens in embryo, to this nation the most splendid republic the sun has ever shown upon. As I said in the outset, the youth of this land are tome the star of Hope for our future. Our public schools to-day contain the boys (and here in the progressive west it may be the girls, too) who are soon to take charge of the public affairs of the nation; and in view of the present siaie oi national unrest and discontent, in view of the almost countless num bers of the people already here and who are out of employment and many of them in actual want, in view of the hundreds of thousands more, and that too of ignorant, vicious foreigners, who are being annually unloaded upon our American shores, and vested with the rights of citizenship before the smell of the "briny deep" Is out of their half and clothes; in view of the constant, seditious usurpation of our political rights and the nefarious attempts to crusn out our dearest free institutions a miserable travesty on American liberty tirelessly practiced by the selfish sectarians who have come down upon us as did the "Goths and Van dals" upon peaceful, unsuspecting clvi lized Europe in the centuries gone in view of these and other serious men- opiwrtunity to enculcate a pure, dlgnl Bed, positive and enduring patriotism for our common country. What a splendid, what a significant time in life to call forth from the children of the schools throughout the land the highest, tenderest expreatiions of loy alty and devotion to our American Institutions. I can but speak In hearty commenda tion of those patriotic ordori which make it a special part of tholr work to plant the American flag on the publlo school buildings of smr country, and in this way impose upon themselves the duty of holding the youth of the land loyal to the American ilsg as the sym bol of American patriotism. This is certainly full of deep and suggestive meaning. It means to me genuine loy alty to country on the part of the orden and a proper recognition of the necessity of that same spirit of loyalty being awakened and nourished among the American youth, soonj to be en trusted with the positions of trust and honor. It means that they believe the dan gers (ana they are many and ominous) now threatening our country may be averted, If the rising generation be bufllclently grounded In virtue and pa triotism to do fearlessly and faithfully their whole duty. It was therefore an inspiration to me to-day as I walked In here to your beautiful, socludod park, to behold the Stars and Stripes float ing in peaceful splendor above the i i.i...... i i ..... i Bi ainuu buuuui uuuuing. And ever since, this thought has been running through my mind: "How much, Oh, now much do these boys and girls owe, like mysolf, to our country for the blesslngsj)Mtsfree publlo schools! They are thepr lceless inheritance from our fathers. They contain the patriots, statesmen and sages who are to be the political laviourB of the second century of American nationality. Our children should be made to feel this. They should be taught to regard the Ameri can system of free public Institutions as just as sacred and as essential a part of our free Republican government as Is the American Constitution Itself. Neither teachers, parents nor pupils can afford to be passive or Indifferent on this point. Ours is the one great nation of this vast continent; the mother of repub lics, whose lullaby has been sung over every cradle of liberty In the New world, under the Influence of her glorious example the last thorne, the last crowned despot, has disappeared from the Western Hemisphere; and if our youth, our noble, generous boys and sweet, lovable girls, are faithfully nurtured in a pure, sound morality and lofty, unselfish patriotism the Old World's dominion over American ter ritory and American affairs, in North ana bouth America, will not outlast the morning of the twentieth century. The God of nationB has made our country great and strong and free. Ours is the only American power able to stand as protector for the entire New World; and that same Providence which has blessed us with such gracious favor in national might and grandeur, has also placed upon you and me the sacred obligation, the awful responsi bility, oi keeping and preserving this and all the New World republics free and independent. we can not ignore or shirk these obligations except at our nation's peril. We cannot absolve ourselves from the obligations which Providence imposes without incurring divine dis pleasure. The Lord is the God of na tions as he is the God of would be nothing but the meanest selfishness and most inexcusable cow ardice that could Induce us to desert the present post of leadership we heve fairly won in the Western Hemisphere, and which It is our manifest duty, and may Heaven grant, our glorious des tiny, ever to retain. . Oh, if only all the teachers In the schools throughout this broad land could but be made to realize this as I feel it, and would then work accord ingly, In a faithful, loyal, conscientious discharge of clearly defined duty, in building up in the minds and hearts of the children of this magnificently rich. far-reaching land a firm fortress to our liberty and our American homes, what imperishable monuments would pos terity erect to our memories! God help us all to see our dutv clearly in this direction, and then be brave enough, loyal enough, and faith ful enough to discharge that duty. 2'acoma Ciiam. ine anuai teachers' examinations are now being conducted by the county i superintendent at the Central school. aau il-IUudullare iKt4l.3l ludviiient. with I.. trei thereon at rata of elithtdllper cant pf r annum from reliruary .
