"Very well, shoot after your own fashion; look, Jatsp., there's gainie for you," laughingly glancing toward an open space'in the woods, e'ose to a path. My eye* fol'owed NTaithan's linger, and to my surprise I saw, about six rods from us, a Iiitic,* hvivelcd old woman, in a faided calico dress,a plaid shawl aind a red hood. She was not a stranger, and coming upon her unexpectedly as wc did was not pleasing to mo. Her name was Lucy- Robinson. She ha l been digging roots for medicinal purposes, and a half-tilh*d has- i kef was a little way from her. When she saw us shearose from the ground and stood with her great black eyes lixed scowlingly on me. She lived in a small old housene; r the school-house, with half a dozen eats for only companions. She picked berries, and sold 'hem, and made | baskets for a living, which found ready purchasers. I did not like her, and she did not like inc. lining the summer, she reported to Mr I.owe that I had broken her windows on? day during a recess of . diool hours. * The accusation* was false. I had ; sed her by petty tricks, and 1 i. id provoked her to hot Aug* 1 b\ fright dug her eats and calling her nana 1 at the thought of hreakint " windows or injuring her ] . riy had bot occurred to 111 -not in any way Strongly as I denied her charge, I co i Id not prove it to he false; and I was punished hyMr. Lowe for the! ^supposed offense. Since then I had felt very angry with old Lucy lh>h-i in son, and \vh n we saw her in the1 woods, the idea of retaliation darted into my mind. T determined to j frighten her well end pay her for the wrong she had done me. Without a moment's hesitation, I put my gun to my shoulder and lev e^-d it at her. "You told Mr. Lowe a wicked lie about me; you got me punished. 1 didn't break your windows;you know I didn't; and I'll shoot you, old ^ witch!" I cried, in a loud tone. At that moment, Nathan caught a glimpse of a woodchnck, making for its hole. Ho had not yet Gnished charging his gun after firing at the 1 woodpecker, and he started to run. \ Believing mine to be unloaded, he' . pushed me and jostled my arm, causing a sudden pressure of my finger | ^ ,ppen .the trjgger, and to my horror, y;:' ~ feyy.

"I didn't mean to. I only wai ted to frig ten hor," 1 gasped. "Von threatened to shoot her. She'll show'Jier wound and tell of it." "1 didn't know my gun was loaded. 1 j ointed it at her just o scare her, and make--her go off to unotuei part of the woods, that's all." "You'll ho arrested for this.

"If.she dies of that gun shot wound, you'll he tried for murder, and have to go to?p eon and, nuiybe, get hung".'" "What can I do?" IJasked, faintly.

His affection for me made him see my dreadful situation in its full horror, and Ids great anxiety tc help me prevented him from know ing how to advise me rightly. As we walked slowly out of the woods, I tried to look the calamity full in the face. Alarmed as I was, I sti'l had enough of my wits left to know, if 1 lied from suspicion, I should certain ly involve myself in greater dilllcultiespbut I was unable to decide what course to pursue.

In tin irst place horsehair cannot he dyed. It repels coloring matter; so to imiki lilack c'oth it is necessary to secure natural h ack hair. The horses, ii many cases abso ntely wild, running 1 an restrained, are regularly coraled ind shorn. Of course hlack hair is preferable, but sometimes gray stock 1 is utilized. Not only the tails hut ilso the manes are cut; the hair i< bunched. These brunches seldom contain hairs of less long h than t wo feet; some are even thr e and three ind a hn'f feet, and the thickness of bhe hunches is usually two or loreo inches. The hair 'c'oth lo >ms are provided with wh it we may call a nipper, in place of a shuttle, and the nipper is so finely actuated that it travels a-1 cross the warp and seizes from the hunches one hair only the jaws f mc nipper ocing i<> ? line to gra?p more tliaii one?and carries it across | I lie weft threads, dropping it into the exact place The aedon of tlu,! loom mechanically forces the hair next to its predecessor, tho warp crosses upon it, snugly holds in it its place, the nipper travels back and seizes another, and soon and on. j The delicacy and almost human an curacy with which each seperate j hair is placed between the warp' threads is really incredible.?New York Telegram. ?* Hindsight i" ITxeess.
