The baso ball eauio by Ked Cloud
va Esbon and Lebanon, Wednesday
afternoon, was moderately well attend
ed, and peculiarly interesting through
out. Itoth clubs support souio excel
lent players, and for the first few in
nings tho score remained about even.
It soon became obvious however,
that in tho nbsonoo of somo of lied
Cloud's most valuable players, they
had bit off more than they could chew,
and as tho gome progressed tho visit,
mg nine exhibited a perceptible
superiority over our hoys who were
somo what flustratcd hy tho insidious
tactios of tlicir gentlemanly opponents.
Until tho 4th inning however, tho
ganio was fairly oven, and both teams
got down and played ball to perfection.
After that tho Kansas boys took tho
lead, and rapidly gained score till at
tho close of tho gamo tho count stood
8 to 1G in favor of tho visitors. Lack
of ipaco precludes a general write-up
oi tnc gamo wiuon deserves consider
ablo attention, as thoy nil played good
ball tho biggest share of tho time, and
uiado few bunglcsouio plays.

Dick nnd 1 now felt that tho secrecy
with which wo find been moving among
our follow mortals need no longer bo
maintained, and that it would bo moro
to our liking to bo known by our true
niiiuop, and so now signed hotel registers
as in das gono by when wo ntood fair in
our community us Hill Willoughby nnd
Dick Nailor.
No one.JI presume, can fully appreciate
our feelings when, for tho first time in
several weeks, wo could, without fear,
sign our names in tho strong, round
school-boy hiinda bo familiar to our
selves undflTricmls.
Wo now wrote our parents, telling
them of our adventures, and. iitnoiur
other things, asking them for counsel
witli reference to our futiiru course.
To nil our letters wo received answorB
so fuU of good advice, and so fraught
with loving consideration thul our young
hearts wero touched tin never before!
I had alwnya looked upon my mother ns
being among tiio purest and noblest of
women, but not until that pnrticitlnr
time hud I discovered Unit in n point of
intellectuality sho surpassed thousands
of moro pretentious women.
1 hero had what seemed to mo u revo
lution; an insight into tho qualifications,
both native and acquired, of that bo
loved ono who had given mo my being,
and 1 1 ml guarded my every step with a
watchfulness akin to Unit exercised by
guardian nngola over tho lives of inno
cent unbes, and of those who have be
come stricken in years, and as such are
simply waiting to bo gathered to their
fathers.
Indeed, I now for tho first timo began
to appreciate fully my own guardian
angel mother. And I give it hero as my
firm conviction that, in innumorabio in-
IstunooB. the child does not fully compro-
nrnu ni iruo reunions io ins inoiner
until somo calnniity bus befallen hint,
and Ids mother's counsel and riper judg
ment have helped to sustain him in his
hour or need.
I beg pardon Tor hero copying a letter
written me, while Dick and I wero still
at Ottawa, by my mother:
"My Dear Hill: You may never know
this sido the grave what u consolation
it is to mo to know that you and Dick
aro at last beyond the reach ot thoso
whose determination it was to punish
and degrade you. Now that this inror-
million win not cause you unnecessary
alarm, I may as well tell you that largo
suiiib or money have been expended in
your pursuit; and last, but not least or
all, those who wero thus hot in the pur
suit engaged the services ot two of the
most disreputable men in tho state who,
witli guns, and a couple of huge Cuban
blood-bounds, were hot upon your tracks
and near at hand tho morning you left
Detroit for Canada. I seemed to have a
strange presentiment, that night, of
your impending danger, and could not
cloM my eyes in sleep, but sat alone in
my chair until near morning. Hoforc
my eyes there eamo a sort of gray mist,
and dimly outlined therein I could sco
a huge train bowling along, now among
tho hills and then gliding swiftly, yet
noiselessly on. Then my vision carried
mo beyond the train to a darlc forest,
along which lay stretched out tho steel
rails over which tho train would soon
pass witli its precious freight of bouIs.
among whom were my precious boy and
his friend, besides many others, all un
conscious of the deep plot being laid for
our capture.
There I beheld two dark-faced villains,
one or whom was deliberately swinging
a lantern ucropa the track as n signal to
the engineer to stop his train, while the
other villain stood behind a clump or
scrub oaks holding by tho collars two
terocious blood-hounds.
Again I saw tho train us it canto glid
ing on, and through the window of ono
or tho coaches I beheld my boy and his
friend, as they sat apparently without
fear, and seemed to rejoico at the pros
pect of their speedy deliverance from all
danger being near at hand.
I sat spell-bound for a moment, and
UienasbypouioBuperhuinaneirort which
I shall tuner bo able to explain, I throw
my arms about the neck of tho engineer,
and, pressing my lips close to his ear,
asked him it ho had a boy. Ho started
up, looked at mu in astonishment, and
answered In tho iilllrinative, and nt that
very moment leaned out or the cab win
dow, gaed along tho track, and was just
in the act or hinging the train to a
stop, when I tiling my arum again nbout
his neck and witli a wail, cried out in
all the anguish ot my ovorburduuod
soul: "U, then, you have a boy, O, save
my only t-on by heeding not tho signal
lor your train to stop,"
So loud was this wail rr agony as it
burst from my lips, that your rather,
who had been asleep in an adjoining
room, came hurriedly to my rescue,
fearing as ho afterwards told mo-that
some caliuuity hud befallen me. Your
father, after I had related to him my
at range experience, tried to laugh tno
into believing that 1 had been asleep
and dieaming. Hut I know, my dear
boy, that I had not been asleep. 1 know
that it wns all a reality.
Now, 1 cannot explain this phenome
non, and perhaps may never in this lite
bo ablo to give a fiitipfnutnry solution of
tho injHtcry, but I do know that the
whole transaction was real. I thank
God that 1 do believe that there uie cer
tain conditions, when complied witli,
that make it possible for one spirit or
mind to go out after that or a loved one,
jtnd save them from impending danger,
dangrtrcoming from an unnatural source,
emanating front thd million of wicked
men and carried out, perhaps as in this
case by hired villains.
I believe, too, that there will a time
emtio when soul shall have power to
cnininiinicato witli soul, irrespective of
distance, time or place. I do, even now.
pi edict Unit the timo will comu per
haps not in my day, but in tho life-Umu
or my noblo boy when mind shall in

is now commonly employed; when, not

and dear Dick. Wrlto often and keep

FjVku Yoi'tt Moiin:tt,"
I wns, as tho reader may well imagine,
tilled not only with love toward my dear
mother, hut with wondor at tho senti
inetitB advanced by her in hor letter.
That she firmly believed that through
her spirit's intervention she had averted
u grout cnluntity, by pressing the engi
noer into her service. I could not doubt
for a moment; but that such could be a
fact was ijuito another thing, and I re
solved to investigate tho mibjcct before
calling it the "imaginationsof a diseased
mind."
I will at this juncture or my narrative
hint to tho reader that this same subject
will play its part ever and anon as tho
story proceeds.
Dick, too, had letters from his people,
and, ho and 1 having no secrets, read all
our letters intercliangcably.
o now began a systematic explora
tion of the city nnd tho surrounding
country. Wo rode in 'Iiiipscs, diovo liv
cry turn-outs, went out in vessels, nnd
quite as often strolled in true and print!
tivo pedestrian style. To-day wo would
bo listening to boiho great parliamentary
debate, and tomorrow bo angling tor
fish.
Noxt wo would llnd ourselves in tho
quarters or tho city wherein dwelt the
lowly, conversing with men, women and
children, studying their characteristic
traits, and in this way sought to inform
our minds as well as while tho hours of
eacli succeeding dav awav.
Ono day, while wo wero walking leis
urely along a streot bordering onoof tho
wharves, wo woro struck with tho
thought that there, in that immediate
wnrd nnd precinct, perhaps, wero no
groeB who may have escaped front bond
ago from our own immediate neighbor
hood or county, bade in Koutuclcy. ,iusi
then wo met an intelligent looking col
ored boy, with ti bundle of school books
under his arm, and inquired of him con
cerning his studies, and then asked him
concerning his parentage.
Tho boy was remarkably apt Tor one
or his age, and gave answer proudly and
without any seeming embarrassment.
Through hint we learned that Iub fntlu-r
hail been a slave, hud followed tho North
stur in his escape from bondage, and
that both ho and his rattier would bo
pleased to have us call at their home as
soon as convenient ror us to do so.
Wo lixed upon Uie evening or tho fol
lowing day for tho call, and, taking Uie
number and street as indicated by the
boy, pursued our way, atill milking notes
of such things as to us began now to as
suiito interesting proportions. During
the night thero came a great rain storm,
and next morning wo wero forcibly im
pressed with tho thought that the
autumn was far spent and that winter
was approaching.
We hml read so much of tho rigors cr
a Canadian winter that wo weto in a
mixed state or reelings as to whether we
ought to remain in tho North or take
passage Tor Cuba.
Hut wo agreed that wo would remain
in Ottawa for somo time, at least, and
that during our stay we would improve
our opportunities for gaining such infor
mation generally as might bo of service
to us in time to cotitr.
Dick suggested that we take up some
of our studies where we had left oir at
the timo wo ran away from home, and
ho nt once determined to devote a por
tion of each day to history, and higher
mathematics, whilo I so tirmly resolved
to llnd a placo in one of the largest
newspaper establishments in the city.
I found somo trouble in that behalf,
owing, as I then believed and still be
lieve, to tho peculiarities or my Southern
dialect, but which prejudice if preju
dice it was soon yielded to moro con
genial feelings, and 1 waa soon quite a
favorito with tho greatest newspaper
published in tho Dominion, "Tito Old
Dominion," and was not long in gaining
tho hatred of some members of the
repertorial BtatT on a rival concern.
Hut (pardon my egotism) I gave, ap
parently, such promise of uscrulness in
tho new rolo 1 was now playing that I
was poon honored witli the position or
assistant reporter or tho happenings
about town, and was frequently sent out
on nowB-gathering touis into variotiB
sections of the Dominion. The only
draw-back to nil this was my often sepa
ration from Dick.
Hut the good fellow was too bravo and
manly to repino on nccount of the situa
tion, and encouraged me, oven, to enter
upon thoduticBor ttiv new position with
all my "soul, mind, might and strength,"
and so I did,
I procured tho necessary hooka on
stenography, and began the work or
preparation with tho view to becoming
mi expert in my now profession.
Timo and space fordid me giving the
reader moro titan the merest outline of
the ordeal through which 1 passed.
1 would sit at my table in my bed
room, both at Ottawa and abroad, until
the still small hours of the night labor
iously striving to master the art.
I linallv got so far along as to be able
to dot down piotty accurately some
passages out of history as tho words roll
from tho lips or Dick as ho would icad
in it slow and deliberate voice.
Hut, like David Capperiield, 1 round
it exceedingly dilllcult to translate my
own work into intelligible IOnglish.
Already had wo determined us to our
fiituio course by the following ourning
when wo were to call at No. llUi Vine
St., Tor an interview with the little
datky's father. In responaa to a pull at
the door boll wo were admitted into a
spacious drawing room by the lad whom
wo had met tho day before, and politely
invited to be seated while ho should mi
iinuuco our call to his parents,
Whilo the boy was gone I took a stir
vey nt the room, and doing so round
every evidence or taste and retinement.
Hanging upon the wall wero four
largo paintings representing Washing

Queen Victoria, which, together with it
rich warm carpet. massie pieces of fur
nit ii re, clioieo lloweis blooming in the
cozy nook assigned them -in short every
thing in complete order,
Soon the door leading into tholibrurv
opened and tho boy returned accompan
ied by as line a specimen or tho pure
blooded African as I had o or looked up
on. Wo hml barely got through wtih the
founiility or a mutual introduction when
Dick the over impulsive Dick- sprang

numo of our host stood for a moment
aa though confused beyond recovery, and
then, all ot a midden, broke into a rap
turous Binile, and holding Dick olf at
antra length, that ho might tho better
tnko in his reatttrcs, gavo vent to ids
reelings as follows:
"Why, bress my soul, body and pos-.

Hut hero the good man's feelings gotth
mastery over him, and he sank dow
among the soft cushions of his gresi
arm chair, and wept like a child, mi
after he regained his composure, ho e:
em-oil his weakness on tho plea that w
