The stray ] am about to tell you is cu rious ns having been tcld by an old col ored woman of yir, ;irii:i. a slave “before the war." and one who can neither read nor write. Years ago there lived in Virginia a gentleman named McKin. who was great ly respected by all who knew him. lie was rich: he was kindly: he had the good wishes of ail his neighbors: he was an excellent master and a good friend. He owned a great deal of real estate, and among it was the finest mill prop erty in the county. It was known as : McKin's grist mill, and was very valu able. He always ke] : a miller there, and of course the miller had his men. ami a thriving business was carried on for years. Meanwhile Mr. McKin re mained a bachelor and lived in the old family mansion with his mother aiwp sisters until the former died and the lal ter married, and people began to say that now no doubt McKin .himself would marry. However, neither maid nor widow of i the place could flatter herself that the bachelor's attentions were "particular." He lived alone with his large retinue of servants for a year, and at last aston ished his friends by marrying a lady who was au utter stranger to every one. a very beautiful young woman who had golden hair, great black eyes, a skin like cream and a brown mole on her left cheek. He gave a great supper to introduce her. and she was admired by all. Her dress was exquisite. She sparkled with jewelry, and a magnificent cluster ring which she wore on the middle finger of the right hand attracted much atten tion. It was, like all the rest, a gift from Mr. McKin. The host did his best. The supper was delightful; there was a band of music from Richmond; there were roses every where. Mr. McKin had tried to make to make the affair a splendid one. but when it was over the guests began to ac knowledge to one another that they were disappointed. Why they could not say. Perhaps Mrs. McKin was cold in her manner. Some people could not help being that. But they had not been hap py. and in old times every one had en joyed themselves so much at the Mo Kins'. then some one hinted that the house servants did not like their new lady, and liked still less her foreign maid, little and dark and withered as an old monkey. “No." old Phoebe, the cook, had said to some one, "we all don’t like madame’s maid—we all don’t like her. We got no right to talk about de tnadame nohow. But madame’s maid, she jes’ a nigger, same as de rest, and we all reckon she mighty cur'us—mighty cur’us." The day after the party was Saturday. Mrs. McKin professed herself weary and remained in bed until supper time. Sunday morning, however, she rose. As she was eating breakfast her husband spoke of the hour. “We shall have to make some haste, my dear.” he said, "in order to lie at church in season.” It was some time before his wife an swered him: then she said: “I will not go to church today.” “I am very anxious that you should, my dear," Mr. McKiu said. “It will be expected of ua.” “You can go alone.” she answered coldly. “Alone, the first Sabbath after my marriage!" he cried. “Oh, my dear, im possible! See what I have bought for you for the occasion.” And he took from a table a small parcel, unfolded it and handed to Mrs. McKin a beautiful little prayer book bound in blue velvet, with silver clasps, and her name on the corner in silver letters. As he placed it before her she uttered a low cry and fainted away. The maid rushed to her and they carried her to her room, where thenceforward she remained. From that moment Mr. McKin’s beautiful young wife seemed to be bedridden. She never left her pillow. Mr. McKin consulted the most celebrated physicians. None of them could discover what ailed her. Her maid nursed her continually. Mr. Mc Kin was not encouraged to enter the room; he always made his wife’s head ache when he spoke to her. Finally he contented himself with a brief call of in quiry every morning. He was a very unhappy man, more unhappy than in his bachelor days. Old Phoebe began to tell strange sto ries to her friend, the housekeeper at the hotel. “Marsy Jack mighty nigh done broke his heart,” she would say. “I’ze mighty sorry for Jack, but we all jes’ despises de madam. She sick in bed all day, but in de night I reckon she mighty well— yes'm, she mighty well den, and she get up and dress sheself and eat a big sup per and go out ob de do’. Yes’m, she do. And dat little chipmunk of a maid she go along wid her. and dey done come back jes’ befo’ sun up. Yes’m. we all knows dat de libin truff,” “ Why don't you tell your Marse Jack?’ the housekeeper asked. “Dere ain’t nobody dast tell dat yar to Marse Jack McKin.” said Phoebe; “nobody.” And nobody did dare. But soon it was whispered everywhere that Mrs. McKin had a lover whom she "went to meet in the pine woods at midnight. But there was something else that Mr. Jack McKin was to hear shortly. There was trouble at his mill, and the trouble was of a supernatural sort—the miller and his men had seen a ghost. One by one the men had been fright ened away, and the miller was alone at his post. At last he came up to the Mc Kin mansion one day and resigned his millership. Ee was reluctant to give his reasons, but finally did so. The ghosts —there were two of them—manifested themselves every night. They were not to be frightened away, and did mischief to the grain and set fire to the mill in various places, though he had always found the flames in time to put them out. Now they threatened to kill him if he was not out in three days. “lam amazed to hear such a story from a whi^ ttuyi of intelligence,” wm Jack McKin’* comment on the tale. “Someone is evidently trying to fright en you away. Remain, and on the night they threaten to ta',e your life tho sheriff and l.iu men shall lie with yon." Fina'.ly the miller returned to the mill and at dusk on the tliird day was.seen r.live and well by people who came with grist. When the sheriff and his n^en came stealthily through the woods un hour later the mill was perfectly dark. They lighted their built ms and went through it. calling the miller by name, but receiving no answer, until they found him in his own room lying on his face, a pistol in his hand, an overturned lamp beside him, dead. He had been shot through the heart. There was no living human being in the old mill, and for a long while nobody went near it. At lust people began to say that the mil ler had shot himself by accident and that the negroes had frightened him. An other miller applied for the place and remained three days. In fact, to cut a long story short, the only other miller who dared to brave the warning that the ghost gave them all was found dead, as the first one bad been. The mill was soon spoken of as haunt ed by every one. No one would work there, and finally Mr. McKin closed it, and it was left to itself and to the ghost. All this while Mine. McKin remained an alleged invalid, shut in her room all day. watched by her maid and talked of in whispers by her sen-ants. No one believed McKin’s mill would ever run again, but one day a tall, strong, broad shouldered young fellow walked up tiie steps of the McKin mansion, asked to see the master, and begged to be allowed to take charge of the grist mill. “I’ve heard the story,” he said, as Mr. McKin began to explain. “I don’t be lieve in ghosts, and they can’t scare me anyway. I’m in hard luck, and I’m a good miller. Trust me and your mill shall work better than ever. You’ll do me a service, and I'll do you one.” In vain Mr. McKin set before him the fact that two millers had been already killed there in the haunted mill. The young giant declared that he should not be, and finally the gentleman engaged him. The mill was opened and the miller set to work. He took with him into the mill a Bible, a revolver and a large, sharp ax. r or me nrst two mgnis ne saw notn ing. but heard noises like the falling of heavy millstones upon the floor above and feet upon the stairs. He had ex pected something like this and remained in his room reading his Bible by the light of a shaded lamp. On the third night, having heard the same noises and quietly disregarded them, his door was dashed open and a hideous form entered. It was something between a woman and a great bird of prey. It wore fluttering white robes, and had instead of hands great black claws. It floated toward him through the air, and behind it came another like unto it, but smaller. The first creature swooped downward and made a clutch at the lamp. As it did so he snatched his revolver from his belt and fired, emptying all the cham bers. The strange beings vanished with a wild shriek, but in a moment they en tered again. This time the largest one made a furious clutch at the lamp. As she did so fie lifted his ax above his head, and with one blow severed the hideous black claw from what looked like a shriveled human arm; then he hurled his Bible at the head of the smaller fiend. Instantly screams, oaths and horrible curses filled the air. The strange beings vanished and silence reigned. The black claw dropped to the table. It was such a hideous sight that the mil ler covered it with a cloth, that he might not see it. He kept watch all the night, and early in the morning Mr. McKin, who had been told that firing had been heard in the mill, came to make inquir ies. The miller told his tale, and Mr. McKin complimented him on his bra very. Of course he was desirous of see ing the amputated claw, and the miller proudly drew away the cloth. Behold! there lay upon the table, not a claw, but a woman’s beautiful hand—aright hand, on the middle finger of which gleamed a splendid cluster diamond ring. At the sight of this horror seized the miller, and Mr. McKin seemed about to die. He knew the hand; he knew the ling. Then, without a word, he walked out of the mill and homeward and into his wife’s chamber. She was in her bed, as usual. The maid, pale, and with a great bruise upon her forehead, interposed to prevent his approach. iuauame is very in, sue said. “Out of my way, woman!” he cried and pushed her aside. Then, bending over his wife’s bed, but without his usual show of tenderness, he said sternly: “Show me your hand.” She thrust forth her left one. “The other,” he said. She uttered a scream and turned down the counterpane, but there was none to show—only a bandaged stump, from which the hand had been severed. The next morning the whole village was in wild excitement, for Jack Mc Kin, whom they all knew and loved 450 well, had gone to the graveyard and there shot himself through the heart be side his mother’s grave. And . the serv ants had told their tale and the miller his, and there was the lady’s hand, with the ring upon it, tube seen by all. “Bum the wretches,” a man cried, and a band of men, both black and white, bore down upon the McKin mansion. They entered the door and marched up the stairs and into madame’s room, but there was no one there. Nobody had seen the two women depart, but they were gone and were never seen again, and since that time no fool has ever en tered the old mill and it has slowly fall en into decay. The lady’s hand, however, is still pre served in spirits in the town hall, and the old negro who acts the part of watch man declares that at midnight it always changes to a hideous black claw. How ever, no one else ever witnessed this transformation.—Mary Kyle Dallas in Fireside Companion. PAYING A DEBT OF KINDNESS. An Indian Brave Who Never Forgot tlie Mercy Shown Hi* Baud. About the middle of this century there was a terrible uprising among the Yuca tan I it diana. For a time they were able to wreak vengeance on their white con querors, ami their ferocity and cruelty were horrible. Even so dark a page of history as this, however, is not without its story of kindness and mercy between enemies. Tile town of Peto was so sit uated in the Indian territory that it was taken by the Indians and recaptared by the whites many times. Once, when it was in the hands of its rightful owners, a number of Indian prisoners were held. Less cruel than the savages, the whites killed only in battle: they allowed their prisoners to live. But provisions became more and more scarce, and the Indians were left to die of hunger. One day Don Marcos Duarte, a wealthy inhabitant of the town, was passing the house where the Indians were and stopped, shocked at the sight of a miserable, emaciated creature. “What are you doing?” he asked. “I am eating my shoes, as you see,” was the reply. “I am starving to death. For twelve days we have had almost no food. Most of my companions are dead and the days of the rest are numbered.” Don Marcos looked at the miserable survivors and said, “You and they shall live,” and he sent them food every day and finally procured their freedom. Whatever were the rights of the ques tion between Indians and whites in this case, human pity spoke first in his heart. Some time later Peto was captured by the Indians, and the inhabitants were massacred. Don Marcos, with his wife and children, awaited death on their knees in prayer. They heard a party of savages approaching the house, and felt that the end had come. The head of the band, however, sta tioned sentinels around the house and gave this order, “Not a hair of the head of this man or his family is to be touched, on pain of death.” The family of Duarte was the only one that was spared. The Indian who had inspired the pity of Don Marcos was paying his debt. Twenty years afterward in a success ful uprising the Indians sacked a num ber of villages and country houses. They retreated loaded with spoil and drag ging with them many household serv ants, of whom they intended to make slaves. The chief of the expedition asked one of them what was the name of his master. “Don Marcos Duarte," he replied. Tne chief immediately called a halt. “How many men belong to Don Mar cos?” he asked. “Twenty-four,” replied the man to whom he had spoken. “Name them," said the chief. Having collected the twenty-four men, he returned to them the spoil which had come from the Duarte house and said, “Go home, friends; you are free.” It was the Indian once more paying his debt.—Youth’s Companion. Why She .Reads the Last Chapter First. “Of course 1 always read the last chap ter of a novel first.” admitted a young woman, “and I think it a very sensible plan. But I read such books in two different ways. I confess I read some trash. When I get a novel that I con sider in this class I read the last chapter first. Then 1 read the next to the last chapter, and so on until I finish the first chapter. I find that the only way in which to enjoy such books. If I read it straight through from the beginning I would never be in doubt as to the end ing. I have read so much of this light literature that I can always tell pretty well on reading the first chapter or two what the outcome of it will be. “On the other hand, if I begin at the end my curiosity is aroused to a lively pitch. Here I have the unraveling of misunderstandings and the restoration to happiness of all the worthy people in the book. But I cannot tell how the doubts and differences came about. One can anticipate the close of such a novel near its beginning, but not its beginning near its close. So I read the chapters in reversed order with continued pleasure.” —New York Tribune. Only a Score of White Rhinoceroses. From a letter addressed to that re nowned sportsman, Mr. Selous, it ap pears that that curious and rare animal, the white rhinoceros, has not yet gone the way of the dodo and the great bus tard, though some have ventured to give Mr. Selous’ authority for saying that he is extinct. It is to the occupation of northern Mashonaland, which has kept the native hunters to- the west of the Umniati river, that this gentleman at tributes the fact that in this part a few specimens still survive the constant per secution which in less than twenty years has utterly exterminated them in ever)' other portion of south central Africa. “There may yet,” Mr. Selous adds, “be ten or even twenty of these animals left, but certainly not more, I think, than the latter number.”—London News. Wliere Crocodiles Are Found. Crocodiles are found in Africa, Asia, the tropical parts of Australia, Central America and the West Indies, while the alligators, with the exception of one spe cies discovered soma few years since in China, are found only in America. They are all of them terribly destructive crea tures. The young feed principally on fish, but as they grow larger they attack every animal that they can overcome, dragging their prey into the water and so drowning it. It has been said that more people are killed by crocodiles than by any other of the wild beasts of Africa. —London Saturday Review. Worms That Are Good to Fat. The earthworms of Cape Colony, South Africa, specimens of which may be seen in any well regulated American college museum, have a maximum length of 6 feet 5 inches and are thick accordingly. When Mr. Meer and the other Dutch explorers first visited the Good Hope regions these slimy creatures were a regular article of diet.—St. Louis Republic.
