In 18G9 Lawrence Nutting was.i United States Marshal in thesouthern district of Virginia. The State was at that time fairly overrun with out laws of all classes. Bushwhackers, highwaymen, counterfeiters and moonshiners nestled in all the country side among the mountains and upon the lonely roads;whilc gamblers and desperadoes swarmed in and about the settlements. Crime was frequent, and the life of a United States ofliccr was a series of stirring adventures in volving great danger, and demanding as great tact and personal bravery. But Nutting proved himsaf worthy and fit for the office. A young man of temperate habits, quick wit, splendid physique and dashing cour age, he was never at a loss how to act, and the vermin that infested that region soon learned to hate and fear him intensely. Many were the expeditions which the officer had led, many his escapes, and many the prisoners safely cap tured and walled by his efforts; but one man evaded him. The shrewd est and worst moonshiner of all was still at large; despite all his efforts, Nutting had not yet secured lluloit Allen. This man was known throughout the State. His career had been that of a criminal from his birth. In the fastness of Southwestern Virginia he manufactured whisky on a grand scale, and was the owner of a dozen or more queer stills, and snapped his Angers at the law. Several times had Nutting sought this quarry: twice he had actually caught him, yet twice he had escaped, and at the time of which wc speak he was still free. Nutting sat at his office window one evening musing, half dreaming, when there fell a light touch on his shoulder. He started up quickly. A stranger stood before him. "The United States Marshal?" said he, intorogatively. "Yes, sir," said Lawrence, rising. "Be seated. What can I do for you?" "I would speak with you alone," he said, as he glanced around. "I have maftcrs of importance to com municate." "This office is out of hearing of the street," said Nutting, "and wc arc by ourselves. You can speak freely.' The other drew a couple of cigars from his Docket, offered one to the Marshal and lit the other one hi in self. Nutting followed his exam ple; then the man drew his chair nearer, so that he sat between the officer and the desk whereon lay his belt and pistols, threw open his coat so that the butts of two heavy revol vers might be seen, and blowing the smoke from his cigar said in a quiet tone to his companion: "You arc desirous of arresting a noted moonshiner, one Ruloff Allen, arc you not?" "There is no doubt about that," said the Marshal, smiling. "I am the man." Nutting's cigar never stirred in his lips; his hand did not quiver nor his breath come any the quicker. A single sign showed how deeply he was moved; his C3'clids dilated, then he laughed soft and low. "You you Uuloff Allen! My friend, I know Allen. His hair is red; yours is black. His face bears a scar across the chin; yours a beard. His teeth are broken, yours are per fect. The joke is good, but you are not Allen." The other hesitated a moment, then striking a wig from his head, a beard from his chin, and removing a single false tooth, he turned again to Nutting, red-haired and smiling. "And now?" "You are Allen." For a full moment neither man moved. It was as though two large tigers gazed at each other. Then the outlaw said: "Listen! I am armed; you are not. 1 am fully as desperate a man as the report makes me. I am as strong as you are. l)o not try to arrest me, for I shall then be obliged to kill you. I am here for a private talk, but it was necessary you should know who I am. I will not molest you if you will do the same by me, and give me II f teen minutes to escape when wc have finished." Nutting measured his chances. Un armed, in the presence of a man to whom murder was not new, he deemed prudence the better part, and replied: "I agree." "Good," said Allen, removing his own pistol belt; "your word is equal to mine. Wc shall be both unarmed. And now I would tell jxm a story." Then he drew his chair still nearer the marshal, and as the twilight fell and night descended he told of his life a wierd, strange history, every line intense with the throbbing passion of a lawlessness which made the man what he was. The other listened breathlessly; the darkness shrouded both,- and the cigars were finished long before the story was ended. At length, however, the visitor paused, and then concluded as fol lows: "So have I lived. As a wild man almost; and that life has for the past five years been more a mania than ever before, but with a niethoa. I am and have been seeking money and money only. Not so widely different, you may 6ay, from all the world, ex cept that my search was without the pale of the law. And now the end has come. I am rich. I have enough, and now I desire to return to civiliza tion. You can permit it you can prevent it. I am an outlaw. Very well! I will cease outlawry, I will turn over my stills to the Government, will swear a great oath and keep it, too for my own Interests demand it to become a jvortny citizen, and if jxm will accept the prodigal son and kill for me the fatted calf of pardon, all will be well. I came here to ask you to intercede for me. Will you do so?" Nutting hesitated a moment This man was a veritable Eobin Hood. Could he trust him?" The other snokc again. ZSZF "Such assistance from an official is what 1 need, and I can pay well for it If you will get a free pardon for me I will give you five thousand " "I cannot do it" Allen's face paled, and his hand crept toward his hip; then restraining himself with a scoffing laugh, be said: "Be it so. Then wc are enemies. I, to you and the law; you to me. Re member my fifteen minutes, and be ware when next wc meet!" He threw his cloak about him, buckled his pistols at his waist, and disappeared, butashclcft the room a little piece of metal fell from his person, and rolled unnoticed upon the fioor. A minute later the ring of his horse's hoofs sounded through the night as he rode toward the mount ains. The morning following, as Nutting entered his office, his aged servant bowed low before him, extending- his brown and wrinkled hand, and raid, in an awe-stricken voice: "Foun' dis on dc floor, mnssa. S'nosc him your'n, bad ting, mftssa, bid ef ye Mow old nigger to say so?" The Marshal leaned forward in sur prise. Lying in the outstretched pilm of the black was a silver pistol bullet "Why, uncle," said he, taking it, "that is not mine." "Not your'n massa! Tank de Lord! I'sc pleased, I is, massa. Foun' it yr, dough. Dat ar's a seweysidc bullet, massa," he continued, lower ing his voice to a whisper, whil'j his ejes rolled like ships in the mitlst of v hitc and seething billows. "I know Vm! My ole massa he had one cast, an' carried it many 3'cars. Deyneber kill no one but dc fellers dcy's made for. Massa John, dough, he didn't get a chance for to usehis'n,"and the old man chuckled. "A suicide bullet," said Nutting, with a smile, as he examined the ?ilvcr sphere. "That's a new idea to inc. Why make a special bullet, uncle? I should think one of those deadly enough." And he pointed toward some of the heavy cartridges belonging to his own pistols which lay on the table near. "Bey mought miss, massa. You know de deDil cares for his own, an' (lis bullet is made by his help, at night, in dc grabcyard, an' can't miss. J knows "cm, massa. I'sc seen 'em r-.forc." Then, drawing nearer, he whispered, "I'sc made 'em!" "And did they do their work?" said NutMng, laughing lightly. "Dcy did, massa." The officer now opened a drawer in his desk, and took from it an old fashioned dueling pistol, which he had.pickcd up somewhere, and fitted the bullet into its rusty muzzle. "It's just the thing, uncle. Bring me my flask, and I'll load it with the suicide bullet It's best to have it handy by if I get the blues. And he laughed again. The servant obeyed. "No use to fix 'ini, massa. 'Twon't only kill dc one who it's made for, huah, an' ye couldn't shoot "yourself wid it, nohow." "Well, uncle, I'll load the smooth bore, any wa'," said the Marslial, suiting the action to the word,, and this afternoon we'll try it at a mark. f I miss a half dollar a dozen paces, I'll give up that you're right If I hit, your 'suicide bullet' is no better or worse than a leaden one." "All right, masra, but yon won't hit," replied the old darky. .lust as Nutting completed the charging of the weapon a visitor called, and it was thrust hurriedly into a pigeon-hole in the desk. His visitor's business detained him from the office until night, and the plan of the morning was forgotten. The dueling pistol with its silver missile lay unnoticed for months in the desk. The days and weeks passed, sum mer came and went, and fall ripened the year. A dozen times had the Marshal organized expeditions and scoured the country, seeking the no torious Allen, but each time he had returned unsuccessful. One final ef fort, however, was to be made. Cer tain information which he knew to be reliable had at last, he felt sure, put the outlaw in his hand, and he looked to his iiorse's shoes and loaded his pistols with unusual care. AL his orders mounted guards men on whom he could depend pa trolled all the roads. Upon the mor row at dawn, with a posse of seven fearless mountaineers, he was to storm the stronghold of the moon shiners, and to-morrow night would find, a vacancy cither in the Gov ernment office or in the ranks of the illicit distillers. The expedition had thus far, Nutting believed, been kept a secret. Because of this he looked forward with strong hopes of success. The officer sat at his desk writing. He had but a few pages to complete, a letter or two to prepare for them ail, and some memoranda to destroj'. He might never sit at that desk again. As his eyes wandered over the mass of papers, documents and duplicate reports filed neatly before him, he suddenly noticed the butt end of his old duelling pistol, half hidden in one of the compartments, and as the memory of how it came there flashed over him he was about to draw it from its hiding place, when a shuffiing step at the door arrested him, and an instant later an aged and bent wo man entered the door and came to ward him. The tour was late, and Nutting re garded the new-comer with surprise as he rose to offer her a chair. She accepted it with a whine of thanks, and sank panting into it. The Mar shal resumed his seat at the desk. "You are the Gov'ment man, I reckon?" said the woman, after a njiusc, raising a brown and wrinkled face, half hidden beneath an immense hood and a pair of green spectacles, toward Nutting. "Yes, madam," replied that worthy. "For an old woman. I've come a right smart piece to sec ye. I'm true grit, I am, but getting wore out. These ycr mountains aire a sight steeper than they was forty year ago," and she sighed. "But sec here, I'm on business, I am. I want to talk to ye. You don't know me, now, I reckon?" "I cannot say that I do," said Nutting. "I reckon not as ye never see me before. I am Mrs. Allen Bethsheby Allen and my boy, he's Ruloff Allen. 1 e hev heard of him, mebbe?" and she paused and gazed cunningly into her listener's ace. "Yes, I know him," and the man's brow darkened. "Wall, now, I tell ye. It seems yer on a raid after him to-morrow ye sec I know a thing or two an' ye've i got the boy badly cooped up this time, shore. Not but what he'll light, and some on ye may ketch suthin besides moonshiners. My boy is smart, he is, I tell ye, an' he'll tote yc round considerable afore ye gather him in; but he's cooped all the same, and I'm afcarcd ye'll get him. I'm his mammy, ye know." The old hag paused and wiped her eyes. She was a woman, even yet, and Nutting's heart softened toward her. "What can I do in this matter, Mrs. Allen?" began the marshal. "Your son is a " "Never mind what he is you can save him. He's trapped, catched, cooped. But he's my boy an' I want ye to let him go. Take his stills an' his whisky, take everything but let him go an' I give my word it's good Bethsheby Allen never broke it, yet that in less than three dav's we'll be" "My dear madam, what you ask is impossible. I'll try not to hurt your son, but capture him I must and shall." "But if he should capture you, what then?" At these words the green glasses fell, the hood was throw back, the bent form become straight as a lance, and before the eyes of the dazed offi cer Ruloff Allen himself stood, a look of dead hatred on his face, a heavy revolver in his outstretched hand. Silence reigned a moment as the joung man gazed into the deadly tub'e before him. "I came here to give you the last chance, and me the same!" hissed the moonshiner. "The chance is lost to both ol us. I go back to the mountains and outlawry you retire from active service. Can you pray? If so. do it now. In three minutes I shall kill you." Slowly Nutting's eyes ran about the room. Escape was impossible help would not come. A single cry meant inst'tnt death he was lost! His heart sank. Suddenly the butt of the old duel ling pistol came within the circle of his vision. Cool as his would-be mur derer, he turned to him and said:. "Will you let me smoke once more?" The lellow C3ed him sharply. "Smoke? Yes, one cigar," he said at length. And lowering Jic muzzle of his weapon he thrust it into his pocket to supply his victim's wants. "I have some here," said Nutting; and like a flash his hand shot up to ward the old duelling pistol in the pigeon hole. "Down with you hand!" cried Al len. It was too late. There came a sharp and ringing rcjKjrt, a single cry, a sickening thud upon the floor, and all was over. And the moon, breaking in between the rifted clouds without, looked through the open window at the face of the dead, while Nutting, pale and trembling, held in his ncnclcss hand a smoking pistol. The silver bullet had found its mark and returned to its owner. The United States Marshal was saved. - Care of the ila r. Avoid tight-fitting hats and collars, also close-fitting caps, unless these be of some porous material. The two former prevent a due supply of blood to the parts; hence the hair papilla: are put, as it were, on short com mons all the time the hats and col lars are worn. The caps cngcudei caloric, which sets up irritation, and ultimately the most stubborn form of dandruff. Note that all headgear which is not porous should be venti lated at top and sides to allow a free current of air. Never sit or stand with the top of the head near the gaslight or lamplight. The heat thrown out is apt to paralyze the scalp tissues and dries up the hair it self. Don't wash the hair oftcner than once a fortnight, when first rub in the yolk of an egg and thoroughly rinse out with warm water, into which has been thrown a pinch of borax. Dry carefully and apply a 1 it tic pure olive oil. Beware of the conmion practice of dipping the comb in water when arranging the hair. It promotes decomposition and rancidity of the natural oil and so leads to "rotting." If the hair is naturally dry apply a little olive oil occasion ally. If naturally oily occasionally wash away the excess of sebaceous se cretion by means of a lather of tepid water and soap bark. Salt water is most injurious to the hair, for which reason when sea bathing wear an oil cap. Don't use stiff bristled or wire brushes, and in all cases brush gently. Also, always brush out the hair be fore attempting to comb it, and use the comb as little as possible. Have the ends of the hair clipped once a month, if only to prevent them from splitting. But don't close crop. London Telegraph. 4- Clean inc Stamps. Probably cveo' collector has been annoyed at his inability to procure clean specimens of certain stamps. If he is at all fastidious he objects to having the beauty of his album marred by having a very heavily can celed specimen beside an unused ot lightly canceled one. In most cases, however, there is a remedy which, with care, may be employed to clean the face of the obnoxious specimen. The necessary apparatus consists of a fine paint brush and some white im printed blotting paper, and in a few cases a little soap, for which purpose Castile is best. Lay the stamps on a smooth piece of wood or marble and begin by brushing the face with- cold water. If after repeated application this has no effect try the soap. After washing the stamp, lay it between two sheets of white blottiug paper (colored or printed paper is apt to stain the stamps), and shake it gently a few times, then allow it to remain under a heavy weight for two hours to smooth out the wrinkles. Never employ acids nor alkalies. It is next to impossible to clean em bossed stamps, but if they are quite rare or very dirt, pulverize a little chalk, or procure some plaster of Paris and fill up the embossed design on the back, and clean it as much as possible by lightly using an eraser. The Russian or Cashmere stamps cannot be cleaned. With care and a little practice ordinary stamps, as black as poor lampblack and grease can make them, can be turned out as fairly good specimens.

An article In a recent number of the Scientific American, describing a "Remarkable Engineering Feat of a Spider," reminds me of a no less re markable exploit of a tiny spider, which 1 witnessed, in which the in sect's ingenuity in improvising a hoisting tackle gave him the victory, writes Charles B. Palmer to the Scien tific American. Potato beetles were very numerous last summer, and were often seen crawling about on fences and build ings. One of these, climbing up on tiic inside of a woodshed, came in contact with a spider's web stretched across the corner of the building. The watchful spider came out at once and endeavored to entangle him. The propensity of these beetles for 'playing 'possum" in time of danger is well known. In this case the in sect did not drop to the ground as thev arc wont to do when potato Tines arc disturbed. He held fast to the board with his claws, but drew down his head and antenna?, and re mained motionless. The spider, which was a very small one, ran about over the big beetle's oval back, like a cat on a barrel, winding his thread rapidly around his captive until ha seemed satisfied, and retired to await results. The beetle, finding himself left alone, woke up and tried to move off. Lifting one foot at a time, he suc ceeded in breaking the cords which bound each one. Then, tugging for ward with his shoulders, like an o: drawing a heavy load, he had nearly freed himself when the little spidei again advanced to the attack, wind ing his threads with astonishing ra pidity. The beetle now seemed to realize that the "'possum" act was not the bet thing for that particular eincr gency,and struggled harder than evei to get away. The spider also seemed to understand that something differ ent would have to be done or lie would lose his prize, for the threads were snapping as fast as he could wind them. He paused a moment, and thought he had given up the contest. But 1 greatly underestimated the resources of the little giant. He was only thinking! He saw wherein the beetle had the advantage of him, anil devised a scheme to overcome that advantage. The problem was to get his big antagonist off the board into the middle of the web not an casj matter, one would think, consider ing the relative size of the two in sects. But the plan was made and executed with a rapidity that puts tc shame our sluggish human thought and actions. The beetle was in the edge of the web, about two inches from the cor ner of the building. Fastening a thread to the beetle's back, the spidei ran across the corner and made it fast to thq wall on the opposite side of the web, and in such a position that it tended to lift the beetle off its feet. Repeating the operation again and again, he soon had a number oi til reads stretched across the angle, all drawn as tightly as possible. As this work proceeded the beetle soon found himself obliged to cease his struggles and use all his strength in holding on. The spider again re tiring, "Old Line Back" tried once more to move off, but at the first step he was jerked of his feet by the elasticity of the threads and left dangling in the air. In this situa tion he was easily wound up and dis patched by his smart little enemy. I r'.ction with tho Worlil. The captain of one of the grcal transatlantic steamers said, not long ago, "My experience is that anions men, clergymen usually have the besl intentions, lawyers the best use ol their minds, and soldiers and com mercial travelers the best tempers. "How do 1 explain the last fact: Simply because these two classes are forced to iostlc most with other men. Their peculiarities are rubbed off bj friction. They learn at every stcj the value of patience and good humor." The same idea, in a different shape, must have occurred to every thought ful observer. It is the great man ol a small village, who, when he travels, is apt to quarrel with hotel and rail way service, and to feel himself ag grieved by imagined neglect at even turn: it is the boy or girl who has never been in a large school that does not willingly yield to the will of the majority; it is the man who rcallj knows no church, or no part, or nc community, but his own who is bittci and contemptuous of strange creeds, or policies, or social customs. Good-humor and courtesy grow out of tolerance, and we must be familial with different kinds of men and opinions before we arc tolerant ol them. The American traveler, more than any other, puts up with annoyances with cheerful indifference, and is onlj amused at new and eccentric types ol men: not because he is naturally more liberal or good-humored than a man of another race, but because he has had more friction with the world. This truth concerning a race gives a useful hint to individuals. When a boy or a man shuts him self up too long with his books, and his ambition, or his conscience, or even his Bible or his prayers, lie is apt to become gloomy, irritable and sick in both body and mind. He docs not need physic nor self-examination. He needs his fellow-men, and the work which God gave him to do for them. Many a woman of fine, unselfish nature had strong brain is lying now useless and invalid, a victim of nerv ous prostration who could be cured by hearty contact with her kind, and the necessity of labor with and for them. Remember that it is "Hand in hand," not alone, "the blessed souls ascend toward God." Youth's Com panion. Lost Her Feet Through Vanity. Miss Louisa Sherlock is one ot the handsomest young women in this village, says a Seneca Falls (N. Y.) correspondent of the Philadelphia Record. She was proud of her feet, which were small, but persisted in making them appear smaller by wear shoes that were too little. These shoes caused her to have ingrowing toenails, which resulted in a disease of the bone that medical skill could not cup. It became so bad that she was no longer able to walk. Re cently the physicians decided tljat nothing could save the young woman's life but amputation of both feet, and the3' were amputated. Jutt Like Our Iuo. Turkish and Persian pipes, it is said, are difficult to manage. They require the fragrant yellow tambake, that must be soaked in water, wrung out and put in the lowl with a live coal or top. The pipe is now relegated to the elders, for the younger genera tion in Western Asiasmoke cigarettes. Pleasures of Memory. What a blessed thing is memory! How it brings up the pleasures of. tho past, and hides its unpleasantnesses! You recall your childhood days, do you not, and wish they would return? You remember the pleasant associations, while the unpleasant ones are forgotten. Perhaps to your mind comes the face of some friend. It was once a pale, sad face. It showed marks of pain, lines of euro. It seemed to be looking into the hereafter, tho unknown future. And then you recalled how it brightened, how it recovered its rosy huo, how it becamo a picturo of happiness and joy. Do you remember theeo things? Many people do, and gladly tell how tho health re turned, how happiness camo back, how tho world seemed bright They tell how they wcro once weak, nerve less, perhaps in pain, certainly un happy. They tell of sleepless nights, restless days, untouched food, un strung nerves. And then they toll how they became happy, healthy and strong onco more. You havo heard It often in the past, havo you not? You havo heard peoplo describo how they wcro cured and kept in health? You certainly can remembor what it is that Lai so helped peoplo in America. If not, listen to what Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller, who is known universally as the great dress reformer, says: "Six years ago, when suffering from mental caro and overwork, I received tho most pro nounced benefit from tho uso of that great medicine, "Warner's Safo Cure." Ah, now you remember. Now you re call how many people you havo heard say this same thing. Now you recollect how much you havo heard of this great Cure.
