If you etnml here and peer through
D darkness von can see it all. Then;
I tin; wagon of the lone emigrant family,
it cover xvoithcr-woui ami rent to prove
that the journey has been long ami
weary. Ten feet away arc the embers of
the lire on which the evening meal was
cooked. Ilctwcen the wagon and the
fin: is the rude bed of robe and blankets
nn which mother and children arc sleep
ing. On the other side of the vehicle
stand the hor.e, munching at the abort,
sweet grans or listening to the far-off
voice of the wolf.
Thin i the back ground. In tho fore
ground a entiucl ait with hi back to
the solitary cotlonwood. At his right
bund runs n little brook at hi left is
the boundless prnirie o'er which night
hns spread her mantle. Fori' feet nwav
are wife and children trusting in his
vigilance. Overhead gray-white clouds
arc driring across the star-lit heavens,
and the moan of the wind has an uneasy,
iiervoii?ound. Awnv out on the prairie
ne wolf frallons from knoll to knoll
and snuffs the air, and the wryoto gnaws
at the bleached bones of the buffalo, and
utters his short, sharp cries of hunger.
Is then; danger? All day long as the
tired horos pulled the wagon at a slow
pace, the emigrant has carefully scanned
the circle iilmut him, but without cause,
for uneasiness. He knows ho is in the
Indian country, and for this lat twenty
four hours hisnerves have been braced
to hear their dreaded war-whoop and
to catch sight of a band riding down
upon him.
It is midnight as we find him. Ilia
ear has been n keen as a fox's and bin
eye has not rested for a moment. Tho
Makes nro human lives his lifo with
the rest. The odds are ten to one
against him.
"Ah! if we wcro back at tho old
home in Ohio! You remember the old
farm-house hidden away among the
cherry and pear trees? There is tho
highway, lined with dusty May-weeds.
Half a milo beyond is tho quaint littlo
pchool-houso. where tho children
learned their A, H, C. Half a mile
Above is the bridge across the "
The sentinel rouses up and rub his
eyes. It was the creek talking to him.
As he listened to its monotonous babble
it suddenly began to converse in plain
tongue. For n moment he is thrilled
and alarmed. He looks keenly about,
and ho listens with bated breath.
There arc the same sounds the wail of
the covote tho munching of tho horses
tho babbling of tho brook now and
then a half-gnan from one of the chil
dren sleeping an uneasy sleep. And
sow the brook talks again:
"Thoro was the big urown barn full
of sweet-smelling ha' tho pasture lot
with its cows the pond in which the
bare-legged children used to wade the
orchard with its burden of fruit. Don't
you remember how you used to sit on
the rtoop at evening-time and smoko
yourpipo and watch tho children at
play on the grass? How peaceful every
thing was! There was a drowsy feel
ing m tho summer air the laz- hum of
insects tho low songs of the good wife
as she rooked baby to sleep who, you
sometimes fell asleep and let j'our pipo
drop from "
The brook babbled and tho man slept,
Ayo! tho sentinel who had live lives in
his keeping slept and dreamed, and in
his dreams wandered back to the old
homo and heard tho old familiarsounds.
"Sh!" It was a rustle in the grass!
Turn to the left a littlo more. Thero It
Is! Thirty foot from the sleeping man a
rattlesnake rears its head abovo tho
grass and looks around. It's oyea gleam
Fiko stare. The neck swells, tho tonguo
flashes in and out, and it coils and un
coils itself as if in ficrco combat. Kow
it is advancing now it swerves to the
right now to the left now it halts and
coils itself to strike. It might creep up
and bury its fangs in tho flesh of the
sleeping man, and it will! It creeps
again. It glides through tho grass like
a gleam now to tho right now to the
left now straight ahead.
"S-s-s-h!"
The serpent halts. Twenty feet more
and it could have stmck the sleeper, but
some movement of his has alarmed it,
:-nd it glides away for fifty feet as fast as
a ,-hadow travels.
Now look beyond thesnake! Is it a
recond serpent worming its way over the
ground to surround the sleeper with
peril? Is it a wolf or panther creeping
forward to make a victim? Now you
can see more clearly. There is tho
scalp-Jock and feathers tho dark face
the gleaming eves the shut teeth and
bronzed throat of a filackfoot warrior.
A courier from one branch of his tribe
to another; he has discovered the cquip
ment, circled around it twice, and is
now creeping upon the man. who sleeps
instead of watches.
How softly he moves! A panther
stealing upon a listening doe would not
exercise more care. Almost inch by
inch, and yet he is slowly approaching.
He was a nundred feet away. Now he
is ninety eighty seventy sixty! He
can see a dark mass at the foot of the
tree, and he knows that the sentinel
must be asleep or he wonld not be in
that position.
See the rattlesnake! It, has faced
about. If it was daylight you could see
fiercer gleam in its eye a tightening
of the cords and muscles a fiercer flash
of the red tongue. A straight line of

Mr. Jones KnlMs a Cek
Mr. Jones has had quite an experi
ence, lately. It came suddenly, like the
toothache, and it left the same Mjrt f
indelible impression. The truth i, 1m
has lern acting as cok. At first h
thought he knew as much n a whole in
telligence office, and he told Mrs. Jonrn
fo when she informed him that Ilridget
was going away for two week to visit
her ster at East Saginaw.
We must have a siippl. Jeptha,"
fhn said in a minit'rial sort of way.
I have all I can do with the children
nnd the fall ewing. without doing any
coiking."
Nonense,M retorted Jones; "Mipply
Ik; blamed! Who wants a Mrangc ijirl
rummaging through the house? I'll do
the cooking, Maria! I can cook better
than any woman I ever saw. Ever eat
any of my gingerbread?-'
"No, and I never want to," snapped
Mra. Jono. "I never saw a man that
could cook anything decently yet."
"Well, J'ou'll .see mo now. Let tne
fet up in the morning and get the
ireakfast. I'll .-how you a bill of fare,"
boatted Jones.
The morning came mid Jones got up
early and slipped soft'v down tairs,
intending to got breakfast ready and
give Maria a Mirpricc.
And he did. When the breakfast
bell rang she went down and Mopped
in the doorway to feast her eves. Jones
had laid the fable with I$rilct's iron-ing-heet,
and he was rushing about in
his shirt sleeve, with Hying suspenders
and a red and heated countenance,
piling up dishes wherever there was an
empty space on the scorched cotton
spread.
"Are we all left-handed," asked
Willie, as he called his ma's attention
to the knives nnd forks on the wrong
side of the plates.
. "Hush up!" aid the father, severely.
"Sit down, Mnria, and turn the coflee.
What are you staring at?"
"I was admiring the cook," said Mrs.
Jones, swallowing a pin in her attempt
not to laugh, and she gravely lurried a
cup of clear hot water out of the coffee
pot. "Must have forgot the coflee," mum
bled Jones: "accidents will happen in
the liestof families. Trv the oatmeal."
"Did you pth?-thrw pth-.M boil
it?" aked Mrs. Jones, as she slowly
choked to death.
Do-ou boil oatmeal porridge?"' in
quired Jones, anxiously; "I'm "sure my
mother never cooked her's."
"No!" .-aid Mrs. Jones, innocently;
"then she 1111M have had her throat lined
with porcelain. What arc these things"
Jej tha?"
"Saratoga chips Maria ; don't you
know potatoes when you .-ee them?"'
"Oh! I suppose these, nrc what you
call aw natural. I see you forgot to
peel the potatoes before you fried them,"
purred Mrs. J. "
"When did Ilridget say she would I e
back?" asked Jones, changing the con
versation. "Why, she has hardlvgot there j-ef,"
answered his wife. "She won't bo back
for two weeks unless her brother Tim
comes."
Jones sighed, and went down town,
where lie dined at several restaurants.
It took Mn. Jones all day at hard work
to get the kitchen back to its normal
condition, and nt night there wa a very
light supper. Jones announced that lie
would have omelet and hot biscuit for
breakfast, and retire I early.
In the morning lie wa-ssleepingswect-Iv
when Mrs. Jones delivered a red-hot
shot into his nearest ear.
"Jeptha," she whispered hoarselv,
"there's the lire!"
"When;?" shrieked Jones, sliding
out of bed nnd into his clothes.
"In the -kitchen," replied Mrs. J.,
rolling over into a sound sleep.
Jones i!ew to the nearest box and
turned in an alarm, and by the time he
got back to the kitchen and had torn
up the whole interior he discovered his
mistake and tried to appea-e the fury
of the disappointed lire department by
promising to et 'em up later. Then
no took nn arnica bath anil went to bed
for a week.
Br'dgot had just reached East Sagi
paw and been duly installed as best
guest at her sister's. Mrs. Maloncy,
when a messenger appeared.
Howly Moses, it's a tallygram," she
gasped, "phat's broken looVe now?" It
read:
" Your brother Tim has arrived; hur
ry back at once."
When Bridget had redeemed the kitch
en from its two days' spree, she began
to look for Tim: she hasn't seen him
yet, but as she says: " there's tho taliy
gram," Jones told her to say nothing
as he might have been taken for a sus
pect. What fie knows he keeps to him

"I havo ju?t let the contract for the
swill of mv house for next season at
$500," said tho manager of a large sum
mer hotel to a Journal reporter this
morning. "The price is very low, and
there seems to bo no reason why the
contractor should not make $1,000 clear
out of the deal."
"How can he treble his money?"
"Because the swill itself is worth ai
least $1,000, and then the dishes he
picks out, besides the marked ones, arc
good for $500 more. Why, do you
know that at one of the Coney Island
hotels, where I was formerly employed,
a man was hired for the express pur
pose of sorting over the swill and pick
ing out the dishes?"
"How do so manv dishes get into the
swill?"
"You should get into the kitchen of a
large hotel when arush comes. Every
thing goes spoons, forks, knives &nd
dishes. Generally the silverware is
marked, and so is returned by the con

Rochester (A. J.) Democrat and Chron
icle. Itoyal Routine What the Princess
Wales Has te Do.
f
There must be a good deal of same
ness in the royal routine, ef existence,
nf'er ail. I was struck with this in the
park yesterday while observing the
Princess of Wales as she was driving
nlong the sweep which extends from the
Marble Arch at the Oxford street en
trance to the nark to the gorgeous
statue of the riinoc Consort on the
Kens'ngton side. In response to the
bows and salutations of the assemblage
she bows her head, first to the right
and then to the left, continuously.
There is almost no cessation in the ox
en ie. It is part of her duty in life.
And the bow is a study a wonderful
medium between listlcssncss and cordi
ality. The features remain quite smile
less; there is no suspicion of the smirk
of the popular favorite of the footlights,
for instance. But the eye are full of
interest as they light on" every passing
face, and it is "impossible to entertain a
doubt that one has been bowed to. dis
tinctly and directly, by the Princess.
This :s what so enchants people not
only people of a certain position in life,
bufthe poor people, the hard toilers of
tie busy town, who stop on their way
to have'a look at the dear Pr'ncess.
There seems almost as keen a look of
"merest in them upon her face as she
see? in theirs concerning her. No one
can sec her without feeling an admira
tion for her.
But one who looks beneath the sur
face of things must know, although so
well dissenib?ed. that this is only acting
out the royal part. It can not" be that
Alexnndra really feels the interest her
features indicate in even passing
trangcr who bows to her in the park.
And .t must be a considerable depriva
tion to her in the way of talking with
tho5e who accompany her this con
stant bowing. Yesterday her eldest
daughter was with her. and also one of
those cousinly grand German Duch-
semi-rovai over on a visit. The
to helpless silence.

th good fortune to escaoe there were
expelled the Province by the Emperor t
LieutenanU and driven across tne bor
der into Tonquln. They found a aecure
place of refuge In the mountain oa
either side of tne Sanjrkoi valley, but
far from willing to exasperate the Chi
nese authorities, they showed a disposi
tion to act in obedience to their behett.
and to carry out their project. In
numbers their fighting men were
at this period computed at five
thousand. At first WaUong. said to
hare been one of the principal of Tae
ping Wang follower, was the recog
nized chief of thi band of exiles, woo
were accompanied by their wives and
families. The Annamee troops were

to experience defeat, and in 1164 thete
Chinese rebel were In unquestioned
possession of the right bank of the
Sangkoi above the capital. The assist
ance of the Chinese viceroy of the Two
Kwang was invoked and accorded with
such good results that thee assailants
were expelled from the low-lying coun
try and conlincd to the upper courae of
the river. A division in the cbiefship
of the band came almost at the unw
moment to give increased effect to the
interference of the Chinese authorities.
Watson died, and two chiefs wore elect

lowers of the Taeplng. the others hy
those who had joined Watong in the
hope of plunder or from the ibviire to
eludrt the pursuit of juice. The break
ing up of the association was made the
more complete by the adoption of dif
ferent ensigns, and, while those in favor
of an adventurous life retained "the
black Hag." the rest, anxious for the
safety of their families, aud willing to
come to terms with the authorities both
of Annam and China, adopted "the
yellow llag" as their token.
T!i divi-ion was of a more serious
character than the mere change of
name, for the black Hags were com
piled of the worst characters and
most dangerous marauders of a dis
turbed Ixinler nnd a troubled period.
Their leader. Liu Yuen Foil, Imd lecn

from which position it was an easy
passage for him to become the roost
trusted ollicer of Watsong. Hut the
yellow flHgs were much more disposed
to settle down, nnd to lead a peaceful
lifo. Some of them had neither sym
pathized with, nor taken part, in the
operation of tho Tnepings; and their
chief, Hwang Tsong In. had been a
s.ddier iu thoWmy of Kwangski. The
principal .settlement of the black flag is
at Laokai, on the Sangkoi. while that
of the ellow llag is at Haglang, some
distance east and inland of that place.
Although the black flags were tho
licrc est, the yellow Hags were the more
numerous and enjoyed a superiority
in this respect which the fonnor
could not Ignore. By subsidiz
ing the latter the Antinmese au
thorities were able to feel that they
had done something toward insuring
the gix.d behavior of the former. They
did not rcfue. however, to avail them
selves of the military service of tho one
or the other, as.Miited their convenience,
and when M. Gamier made himself
master of Hanoi in 187:t, it was with an
army largely composed of the black flag
that the Anainese returned to attack
him. The French officer did not make
sufficient allowance for their superior
courage, and while making an attack on
llie'r position was cut down and killed.
The Annameso have iu the presence of

same allies, and Iwith the black and yel
low llags are again arrayed under the
banner i Tuilne in Tonquin. Their
numbers, it need only be stated in con
clusion, have very considerably incroascd
since their arrival in Anunmesc territory,
for whereas the whole band of Watsong
numbered only five thousand warriors,

twice as many more. London Times,
The Bat-Sneak Exterminator.
The genial Will Wilson walked into
the office of tho Argus last week and
laid on the polished mahogany desk a
little instrument made up of a coil of
brass wire, with spikes and a spiral
spring.
Will compressed the wires by laying
a book over the top and the moment he
let go out darted a dozen pointers as
sharp as fish-hooks.
"Did you." said Will, did you ever
in blind confidence rest your'belovcd
tilo on the hat-stand of a country hotel
and find by a mysterious dispensation
of Providence it had gone, while in its
place was a greasy, napless head-covering
as old as t'e hills of Hebron?"
"Alas we did!" we sighed.
"Well, here you behold an antidote
to all such future afflictions. I call it
the Magical. Tragical, Melodramatic
Hat-sneak Exterminator. I've applied
for a patent and expect to make a mint
out of it."
"How docs it work?"
"Why. you see, I wind the thing up.
These claws all pile up in a bunch.
This wire sets round the leather lining
of tho bat. The moment a man puts it
on his head the spring is loosened And
all these prickers drop on to his craniam
like the toe-nails of a mad cat when
she's clawing on to the window cur
tain." "It must hurt?"
" Hurt? You bet! First time I tried
it, thought I'd a died with laujrbing. I
was at the New House, Danriue, and I
set the trap nice and snug just before I
went into dinner. WellT when I got
into the dining-room I was disappointed
to find only one stranger present, and
he was an elderly gentleman of great
respectability of appearance."
" 'No go. this time,1 r murmured, as
I skimmed the grease off the vegetable
soup.
"The elderly stranger finished first,
and left the room.
v Presently there wa a yell ia the
ot&ce which 'lifted the tiles off the roof
of the house.
"I ran out. There wae the stranger
clawing his ears, trying to pull my hat
off his bald head, while tears of anguish

hchailn't done it. Hut you can't undo
things that way, you "snow; the tcit
war to do is not to do them.
Perhaps that wa about the wav Jas-
ter hmwlf thouL'h:. now that It wa

thi lxy Jasper, and it wai rttln pret
tv dark", and Ja-per hinietf was get
ting uncommonly htinn. Hut, xune
way or other, he slid not hurry home a
fat as you niilit think he would, un
der th.-e circuintancw
Hut then he had a Ood rea-vm for
not hurrying,
Oniinanlv. he would have ni'heil
home ami Into the hotiw pell-mell, and
vtHiiferutwly announcol to UU mother
that he was winery a- a bi'ar. and
wanted Muneth nj; to eat." Hut you
don't like to run iu the cannon' mouth
to p'l the ball.
And when Japer pit home ta-nljrht,
he was pretty uro of cett.n; Minethin
eUe besides Mjmethinjr to eat. Tlie
truth i.s, he expected to "catch it" when
he got home.
lVrrhaps you don't know what "catch
ing it" U. ' Japer did, perfectly well.
He had had considerable experience in
"ratchin it," but had never enjoyed It.
This was the reason why he felt o
solemn this evening, and why he walked
so .slow, and why his feet felt o heavy
as he walked.
Hut I must hurry and tell you what it
was that .Jasper "had done, and now
wished that ho had not.
He had been to the fire, tlatly dis
olnycd his mother, and scampered oil"
ri.'ht before her very eyes.
It was dreadful in Jasper; for, besides
thedNobedieneeof tho thing, his mother
was a nervous woman, and he should
not have helped to make her more so.
She had just leen telling Mr. Cole
man that it would drive h'r to the verge
of distraction to have hrr son running
around between fire-eij'nes. and under
horses' hoofs, nnd beneath binding em
bers the way those Warren 1ki did.
And Jasper had heard her tell Mrs.
Coleman this too or. at Jeat. he could
have heard if he had listened.
I am not sun', though, that he did
listen, for, at tho time, Mrs. Coleman
and J.nsper's mother nnd Jnsjtf r himself
where nil standing on tho sidewalk, try
ing t make out where the tire was.
The lire-bells wen? ringing and the
fire-engines were rushing by. ami a
crowd of men and 1mvs were tearing
along the road after the engine. So you
can sen there wa considerable to take
Jasper's attention away from what his
mother was saying to Mrs. Coleman.
Another thing that may have attracted
Jasper was his overwhelming desire to
become a part of that moving mass of
men and lnys.
"Can't I ffo, mother ?" he demand
ed, vehemently, clutching at his moth
er a dress. "1 II be sure ami not
killed."
pel
"No!" ?ad his mother, with empha
sis. "Let tne catch you going, sir! '
Hut the excitement of the scene Ik?
fore him was too much for Jasper. It
was perfectly maddening to have to
stand there "-tock still, ai though he
hadn't any legs to run with, when eve
rybody else nil the other boys, anyway
were running as fast as their legs
would carry them.
Just here, a squad of little imvs, about
Jasper's ownago, came screeching and
yelling down the road in the rear of a
tardv engine, and tln'n I really do not
think Jasjcr could have been personal
ly resonsiblc for what he did he took
to bis heels, joined the crowd of boys
and was lost to sight, all in just about
one second.
And his mother was screaming after
him:
" Come back here! Ob, you'll catch
ur
If it hadn't been that she hail the baby
in her arms, I bd'eve she would have
run along with the crowd herself in
pursuit of this rebellious son of hers.
But all this had happened several hours
ago.
Jasper was not excited now, and his
Eersonal responsibility had all come
ack to him. It weighed him down
there was so much ofit.
And the fire was all out, too. It had
not been such a very great fire, anyway.
There was so much smoke and so little
blaze, and the firemen had been in ,ueA
a hurry to pnt it out.
And then a little short fellow like
Jasper did not have half a chance to
see anything, with so many grown men
in front of him.
It had not been at all a satisfactory
fire, and then just think of having to
come home in the end and "catchlnc
it!" Poor Jasper!
When heffot into the yard he thought
he would just see how the land lay be
fore he ventured into the house. So he
peeped into the dining-room window
and if there were not the folks just sit
ting down to a "piping hot" supper!
They had poached eggs and toast, and
repentant Jasper, hanging on the window-sill,
thought:
"How good poached eggs and toast
do look when a fellow's Been and run
away to the tire, and don't dare zo In
when he's just a-starvingr'
And then he devoutly wished again
that he hadn't gone to that fire.
Jasper was a great hoy for wishinr.

Here is a mystery. In the announce
ments of Sunday services in the Trar
ellrr Saturday afternoon was a notice
that Rev. Urooke Herford would preach
at the Arlington Street Church on Sun
day, and the text and the subji-ct of the
discourse were given. At the church
on Sunday morning there was no sign
of life except the presence of a number
of persons who waited in Tain for the
Chnrch to be opened, and wcro not sat
isfied until it wa proved to them that
as Mr. Herford would not reach Boston
from Kurope for nearly two weeks, his
preaching of the sermon announced In
the Arlington Street Chnrch on Sun
day. September 9. would be an Itnpo
sibility. All might have ended there
with the verdict that the announcement
was a mistake, but this morning a re
port appears In the Ifrratd which be
gins: "At the Arlington Street Church, la
the forenoon. Rev Brooke Herford
preached upon the 'Christian Value of
Business Life.' taking his text from
Proverbs xxii:29: Seet thou a man ddi
gen: in his business? He shall stand
before Kings.' The preacher began,"
etc
And then follows a half-column re
port of the sermon. The advertisement
is easily accounted for. but what about
the report of the sermon? Here is the
best explanation that can be given. The
CommcrcM Bulletin had In its posaes
s;oo a copy of the sermon in question,
which was preached by Mr. Herford
some time last spring. It was an
nounced last week that the Bulletin
would publish the rnao in fall on
Saturday. From that annousoeseat
most have come, in soe way. the o
tice that the sen-con would be delivered
on Sunday. Bat Itowabc lift report?
