AppJewelght by the South Carolina mil

CHAPTER XVI.
The Flight of Gillingwater.
"It will be better for me to break
the news to Col. Gillingwater , " said
Jerry , "and you must go and and
*
meet the troops yourself , with Mr.
Cooke and that amusing Mr. Collins.
There is no telling what effect my tid
ings -will have on Rutherford , or what
he will decide to do. He has never
before been so near trouble as he is
now. and I may have to give him his
first aid to the injured when he finds
out that the South Carolina troops are
on Raccoon creeTc , all ready to march
upon our sacred soil. "
"But suppose your adjutant general
shouldn't go back to his troops after
he Bees you , then what am I to do ? "
, "If you don't see him by ten o'clock
you will take personal command and
exercise your own discretion as to the
best method of landing Appleweight
in a South Carolina jail. After that
we must find papa , and it will be up
to him to satisfy the newspapers and
his constituents with some excuse for
his strange disappearance. "
Collins had come from Raleigh on
the evening train , and he had solemn
ly assured Ardmore that the present
state of affairs could not be maintain
ed another 24 hours. He had ex-
all his professional resources ,
the North Carolina newspapers of
all shades of opinion were clamoring
for the troth , and were insisting that ,
for the honor and dignity of the state ,
Gov. Dangerfield should show himself
Tin Raleigh.
"We've got to find Dangerfield or
'bust. Now , where is that eminent
-statesman , Ardmore ? You can't tell
me you don't know ; but if you don't ,
Ulss Dangerfield does , and she's got
to tell. "
"Sho hasn't the slightest idea , but
If the newspapers find out that he's
really and truly missing , he will have
to show up ; but first we've got to take
Appleweight off that case of Chateau
Bizet and lodge him in the jail at
Turner Court House , and let Gov. Os
borne have the odium of incarcerating
the bis chief of the border , to whom
he is under the greatest political ob
ligations. "
"But it's all over the country now
that Osborne hasn't been seen in Co
lumbia since he and Dangerfield had
that row in New Orleans. Cranks are
turning up everywhere , pretending to
he governors of various states , and
old Dangerfield is seen on all the out
going steamers. There's been nothing
like it since the kidnaping of Charley
Ross. "
Ardmore drew on his riding-glove
reflectively , and a delighted grin il
luminated his countenance.
"I caught a lunatic down on the
Haccoon this afternoon who said he
was the governor of South Carolina ,
and I locked him up. "
"Well , he may be Osborne , " re
marked Collins , with -journalistic sus
picion.
"And he may be a Swiss admiral or
the king of Mars. I guess I'm a gov
ernor myself , and I know what a gov
ernor looks like and acts like you
can't fool me. I put this impostor
where he'll have a chance to study as
tronomy to-night. "
"Then he isn't on that case of Cha
teau Bizet w&h Appleweight ? "
"No ; I locked him in a corn-crib un
til I get time to study his credentials.
Gome along now ! "
Ardmore , Collins and Cooke rode
rapidly away through the wide gates
of the estate along the Sapphire road ,
over which , by his last bulletin , the
adjutant general of North Carolina
was marching his troops. They had
left Cooke's men with Paul's foresters
to guard the house and to picket the
banks of Raccoon in the immediate
neighborhood of the camp of the
South Carolinians.
. "I guess those fellows can hold 'em
tfli morning , " said Cooke. . "We've got
te clean up the whole business by to-
. .I./QW night. You can't have two
states at war with each other this
way without shaking up the universe ,
and if federal troops come down here
to straighten things out it won't be
funny. "
They had ridden about a mile , when
Cooke checked his horse with an ex
clamation.
"There's somebody coming like the
devil was after him. It must be Gill
ingwater. "
They drew rein and waited , the
quick patter of hoofs ringing out
sharply in the still night. The moon
light gave them a fair sweep of the
road , and they at once saw a horse
man galloping rapidly toward them.
"Lordy , the man's on fire ! " gasped
Ardmore.
"By George , you're right ! " mutter
ed Collins , moving nervously in his
saddle. "It's a human sunburst. "
"It's only his gold braid , " explained
the practical Cooke.
Seeing three men drawn across the
road , the horseman began to check
his flight.
"Men ! " he shouted , as his horse
pawed the air with its forefeet , "is
this the road to Ardsley ? "
"Right you are , " yelled Cooke , and
they were aware of a flash , a glitter
that startled and dazzled the eye , and
Col. Rutherford Gillingwater thunder
ed on.
They rode on and saw presently the
lights of camp-fires , and a little later
were ceremoniously halted at the road
side by an armed guard.
It had been arranged that Collins ,
who had once been a second lieuten
ant in the Georgia militia , should be
presented as an officer of the regular
army , detailed as special aide to Gov.
Dangerfield during the encampment ,
and that in case Gillingwater failed to
return promptly he should take com
mand of the Nor.th Carolina forces.
An open field had been seized for
the night's camp , and the tents al
ready shone white in the moonlight.
The three men introduced themselves
to the militia officers , and Collins ex
pressed their regret that they had
missed the adjutant general.
"Gov. Dangerfield wished you to
move your force on to Ardsley should
we fail to meet Col. Gillingwater ; and
you had better strike your tents and
be in readiness to advance in case he
doesn't personally return with orders. "
Capt. Collins , as he had designated
himself , apologized for not being in
uniform.
"I lost my baggage train , " he laugh
ed , "and Gov. Dangerfield is so anx
ious not to miss this opportunity to
settle the Appleweight case that I hur
ried out to meet you with these gen
tlemen. "
"Appleweight ! " exclaimed the group
of officers in amazement.
"None other than the great Apple-
weight ! " responded Collins. "The
governor has him in his own hands
at last , and is going to carry him
across the border and into a South
Carolina bastile , as a little pleasantry
in the governor of South Carolina. "
The militia officers gave the neces
sary orders for breaking the half-

formed camp , and then turned their
attention to the entertainment of their
guests. Ardmore kept track of the
time , and promptly at ten o'clock Col
lins rose from the log by the roadside
where they had been sitting.
"We must obey the governor's or
ders , gentlemen , " said Collins courte
ously , "and march at once to Ardsley.
I , you understand , am only a courier ,
and your guest for the present. "
"If you please , " asked Cooke , when
the line had begun to move forward-
"what is thnt wagon over there ? "
He pointed to a mule team hitched
to a quartermaster's wagon that a
negro was driving into position across
the rough field. It was piled high
with luggage , a pyramid that rose
black against the heavens. One of
"the militia officers , evidently greatly
annoyed , bawled to the driver to get
back out of the way.
"Pardon me , " said Collins politely ,
"but is that your personal baggage ,
gentlemen ? "
"That belongs to Col. Gillingwater , "
remarked the quartermaster. "The
rest of us have a suit-case apiece. "
The pyramidal baggage wagon had
gained the road behind them , and lin
gered uncertainly , with the driver
asleep and waiting for orders. The
conspirators were about to gallop for
ward to the head of the moving col
umn , when Collins pointed across the
abandoned camp-ground to where a
horseman , who had evidently made a
wide detour of the advancing column ,
rode madly toward the baggage wagon.
"The gentleman's trying to kill his
horse , I should judge , " murmured Ard
more. "By Jove ! "
"It's Gillingwater ! " chorused the
trio.
trio.The
The rider in his haste had over
looked the men in the road. He dash
ed through the wide opening in the
fence , left < by the militiamen , took the
by the roadside at a leap ,
wakened the sleeping driver on the
wagon with a roar , and himself leaped
upon the box and began turning the
horses.
"What do you think he's doing ? "
asked Cooke.
"He's in a hurry to get back to
mother's cooking , " replied Ardmore.
"He's seen Miss Dangerfield and
learned that war is at hand , and ie's
going to get his clothes out of danger.
Lordy ! Listen to him slashing the
mules ! "
"But you don't think "
The wagon had swung round , and
§
already was "in rapid flight. Collins
howled in glee.
"Come on ! We can't miss a show
like this ! "
"Leave the horses then ! There's a
hill there that will break his neck.
We'd better stop him if we can ! "
cried Cooke , dismounting.
They threw their reins to the driver
of the wagon , who had been brushed
from his seat by the impatient adjij-
cant general , and was chanting weird
ly to himself at the roadside.
The wagon , piled high with trunks
aud boxes , was dashing forward , Gil
lingwater belaboring the mules furi
ously , and , hearing the shouts of
strange pursuers , yelling at the team
in a voice shrill with fear.
"Come on , boys ! " shouted Ardmore ,
thoroughly aroused , "catch the spy
and traitor ! "
The road dipped down into the shad-
dow of a deep cut , where the moon's *
rays but feebly penetrated , and where
the flow of springs had softened the
surface ; but the pursuers were led on
by the rumble of the wagon , which
swung from side to side perilously ,
the boxes swinging about noisily and
toppling threateningly at the apex.
Down the sharp declivity the wagon
plunged like a ship bound for the bottom
tom of the sea.
The pursuers bent gamely to their
task in. the 'rough road , with Cooke
slightly in the lead. Suddenly he
shouted warningly to- the others , as
something rose darkly above them
like a black cloud , and a trunk fell
with a mighty crash only a few feet
ahead of them. The top had been
shaken off in the fall , and into it head
first plunged Ardmore.
"There's another coming ! " yelled
Collins , and a much larger trunk
struck and split upon 3 rock at the
roadside. Clothing of many kinds
strewed the highway. A pair of trou
sers , flung fiercely into the air , caught
on the limb of a tree , shoofe free like
a banner , and hung there somberly
etched against the stars.
Ardmore crawled out of tfre trunk ,
screaming with delight TTre fra
grance of toilet water broke freshly
upon the air.
"It's his ammunition ! " bawled Ard
more , rubbing his head where tic had
struck the edge of a tray. "His scent
bottles are smashed , and it's onlyby
the grace of Providence that I haven't
cut myself on broken glass. "
They went down the road , stum
bling now and then over a bit < of
debris from the vanished wagon.
"It's Tike walking on carpet , " o8 > -
served" Cooke- , picking up a feathered
chapeau. "I didn't know there were
so many clotlves in all the world. "
They abandoned the Idea of farther
pursuit on reaching a trunk standing
an end , from which a uniform dress-
zoat drcroped sadly. $
"Thisis not our trouble ; it's his &
Broubfe I guess he's struck a smooth-
2r road' down there. We'd better go
iadrsaid1 Ccro&e.
In a moment they iiad climbed the
iill and" were nr hot pursuit of the ad
jutant general's abandoned army.

SouthernGold" and Southern Cotton.
' Before-1849 the south furnished the
chief 'gold' fields of the country , but
since that date the soutft has not been
to the running ; This section-has been
outclassed by California , , by Colorado ,
by Nevada , and Fast bat not least by
Alaska. In the last fiscal year Alabama
produced' gold tor the value of $41,200
and silver to tJre valueof $200. This
state was outranked fit gold produc
tion in order by North Carolina ,
Georgia- , and South Carolina , but
no oneof them turned out enough
gold to make the round figure of $100-
000. The entire production of gold in
the sou h in the last year was $256.-
400 and $273,000 in silver. Nearly all
the silver was mined in Texas.
It is pretty plain that Alabama and
all the rest of the south can get more
gold out of the soil via the cotton boll
than it can dig out in the gold mines
proper. The climate and the soil can
in that way be coined into gold. The
method is a trifle more circuitous , but I
it yields in cotton alone more money |
nine times over than do all the gold }
fields in the country , for the total
yield of gold in the last fiscal year
in this country was but $94,560,000.- -

Woodpecker's Foresight.
In California the woodpecker stores
acorns away , although he never eats
them. Ha bores several holes , differ
ing slightly in size , at the fall of the
year , invariably in a p'ine tree. Then
he finds an acorn , which he adjusts
to one of the holes prepared for its
reception.
But he does not eat the acorn , for as
a rule he is not a vegetarian. His
object in storing away the acorns ex
hibits foresight and a knowledge of
results more akin to reason than to
instinct. The succeeding winter' the
acorn remain intact , but becoming
saturated are predisposed to decay
when they are attacked by maggots ,
which seem to delight in this special
food.
It is then that the woodpecker reaps
the harvest his wisdom has provided ,
at a time when the ground , being cov
ered with snow , he would experience
difficulty-otherwise in obtaining suit
able or palatable fee * .

Cocktails.
The cocktail Is a very popular be
ginning to a dinner , the object of
which is to stimulate the appetite for
the heavier dishes which are to fol
low. The gustatory nerves are very
sensitive , and If abused by too highly-
seasoned foods , lose the power to ap
preciate the more delicate and flower-
like flavQrs which it should be our
pleasure to enjoy.
Mint and- Lemon Cocktail. To one
quart of strong lemonade , made with
four lemons , add one cup of tea In
fusion , a few sprigs of fresh mint and
a sprinkling of red pepper. Sweeten
to taste , pour over crushed ice and
serve with a lemon curl on top of the
glass.
Clam Cocktail. For every cocktail
required , take one teaspoonful of lem-
pn juice , one teaspoonful of vinegar , a
quarter of a teaspoonful of walnut
one-half of mushroom
sauce , - a teaspoonful
room catsup , a pinch of salt , and a
dash of tabasco sauce. Pour this mix
ture over eight little neck clams and
serve in a well-chilled glass. This
cocktail Is favored for luncheon and
suppers.
Pineapple Cocktail. For each glass
take a tablespoonful of pine apple and
lemon or orange juice and one-half
of a tablespoon of grated orange peel.
Sweeten to taste. Pour over a little
chipped ice in the bottom of the glass
and add a little iced water.
Lemon Cocktail in Lemon Cups.
Prepare as many lemons as there are
guests to be served by cutting off the
round end until they will stand firmly ,
and then cutting off the- pointed end
about a quarter of the way down.
Empty the lemons and scrape well.
Make a strong lemonade , and add an
equal quantity of grape juice. Chill
and fill the cups with the mixture.
Place the lemon cups on a paper
etofly on a small plate.
Sauces for Oyster Cocktails One
teaspoonful each of horseradish and
tomato catsup , salt , pepper mcf ta
basco to taste and two tablespoonfuls
of lemon jufce. Mix well , cuGZ and
serv es on oysters.
Catsup , horseradish , walnutJ and
mushroom catsup with lemon iuice
makes a sauce well liked.

Household Hints.
(
Keep small cloths for wiping meat

Mustard in England.
Mustard is grown in England to a
Considerable extent in the eastern
countries and the Fen district and to
eorne extent in the Midlands. It Is
ordinarily grown in heavy black soil ,
but it Is generally believed that the
crop draws a great deal of strength
from the soil. For that reason .it is
not especially popular. The yield an
aero is variable , ranging from twenty
to thirty bushels , but twenty bushels
is usually considered a fair yield. The
seed rate is usually about three to
four poundaan _ acre when drilled ir
vows from tan to twelve Inches
BOTH HAD KNOWN HAPPINESS
But the Circumstances Were Not Ex
actly Alike , That Was All
the Difference.
They were riding into town in a
subway train , these two married men ,
says the New York Times. One
seemed occupied with his own
thoughts , the other was engrossed in
his copy of the Evening Piffle , from
which he eventually glanced with a
superior smile. "I always read what
Betsy Bumstuff has io say in her 'Twi
light Twaddle' column , " he said. "She
generally hits us off pretty well , but
she isn't always right. Now , this eve
ning , she gets on the subject of
elopements. She says elopements
never turn out happily. I don't agree
with her.'r "Neither do I , " said the
man who had been occupied with his
own thoughts. "I am glad to hear you
say it , " exclaimed the Evening Pif-
fleite. "I eloped with my wife , and
I've been happy ever since. " "So
have I ever since sc-me fellow eloped
with mine , " remarked the other ,
"Betsy Bumstuff is away off ! "
Shiflalah Still Useful.
The shillalah , which showed at
Louth that it has not entirely lost its
old Importance as a factor in deciding
elections , is no raw limb of a tree.
It is almost as much a work of art as
a well balanced cricket bat. The old
shillalahs were as carefully looked
after by their loving owners as is a
rifle in the wilds. Cut from the stur
diest of young blackthorns , and show
ing as little taper as an ebony ruler ,
It was weighted with lead or iron at
the end nearest the grip , so that its
center of gravity was about four-
fifths of the way from the hitting end.
When properly seasoned by being
kept in the neighborhood of the Jarm
oven for a lew months , it became a
thing of supple steel. And the proper
pronunciation of the name of this
fearsome weapon is the melodious one
of "shill-ally , " Tvith the accent on the
