Tlif poor tutor was alone with her, and though it was in the days when men fought hard hattles even against th<.jr own kinsmen if they thought it was for tho right, hin heart throb bed just as the tutor's heart might tDrob today, with the difference that be had not learned to count its beats, as our enamored youth, 200 years wiser have learned to do in a self tontrolli'd manner eminently con ducive to tho steadying of that ob streperous organ. What mattered the great insurrec tion, tho cruelties of Judge Jeffries, ?n<l u fugitive patron with a price upon his head when love had sought shelter in his heart, and she to whom he had built a shrine was just as far away from him as the width of the table? Of what consequence that she was tho Lady Gertrude, the daughter of a noble conspirator, and he but a tutor without land or wealth'/ So be continued his story, looking at hie hook ns if ho were reading there from. "And the poor man loved the lieh lady, and he dared not tell her of his love, lest she would scorn him." Then surely be was fearful at a nothing, which, methinks, meant* be was a coward, Master Humphrey." "A coward, if 'twere cowardly to fear the anger of his lady"? 'Why should he expect suob an ger'." "He had naught to offer her but his love." "Love were wealth enough, but I im tired of your story. 'Tis not so good as you are wont to tell, Master Humphrey, and ' tds our last lesson, ' ' ehe added very gently. "You will not miss the lessons?" "No, not my lessone, only the sto ries. I have loved some of them." And she moved restlessly in her seat, as if she would say more, yet could not find the words. "But surely my father should be here even now," she murmured at last. The poor tutor turned pale. "You will go with him to Holland!" he said. "It would be too great a risk to accompany him, but I follow tomor row if all succeeds as we have planned. Ah, if they should take him! They have killed the dnke. Why are they not satisfied? Poor Monmouth!" "They will not take him !" "Now, at the last moment, I am terrified lest things should not go well. Look at the time I He may he here at any moment. Indeed he should be here now !" Then Lady Gertrude ros? hastily and stood, tall even as the young tutor by her side, with a look of eager impatience on her fair face. "Not yet come, I think," said he. "To cross the marshes on foot needs indeed an hour." 8o they stood irresolute, each with heart for one another and thoughts for the absent fugitive. "There are learned men in Hol land I am told," stammered the young man irrelevantly. "It is so rumored, yet, not more than that, there would still be room for another, I am stire, Master Humphrey." . Which pretty speech nigh over powered the equanimity of Master Humphrey and threw him into a discourteous silenoe like enough to pique his noble pupil, who, indeed, fdt ehe had made too bold and had keke? in modesty, since he would vouchsafe no answer. ' "Continue your story, sir," she said, with marked coldness. 4'I have do mind for lessons just now. " "There is no more to tell, my lady," he said.. "Then' tis a poor story." " 'TwaB a poor man." "With a poor spirit." "Nay, do not challenge him, for ho hath an idea 'twere better to bo P??r spirited than false hearted." "Why should he be either?" "Were it not a mean thing to harass an unprotected lady and falsa to betray the trust of her noble par ?ut, his patron, when he was absent risking his life for his country ?" "To harass her would be wrong, ; to betray a trust a worse wrong. yet I cannot see that, if h? loved the well, h? would be doing either <* these things." /'Madam. |oro I. your humble tutor, the poor man, would you still soreaeont" ' "Were you that man, Master Humphrey, I could but bo sorry for tu? lady."

Pray, Mas ter Humphrey, if it he as you de clare, that youure this man, convey my sympathies to the lady." Now the tutor rose in wrath and would have gone his way?for with out doubt his mistress was making sport of bim?but the sound of faint footsteps from behind the paneled wall arrested his attention, and be stood still, considering whether 'twere best to go or stay. "It is my father," said the girl, aware that he alono knew the secret passage. Then Master Humphrey saw a look of joyful relief rieo to hor pretty face, and he remembered how brave she had boon, how good and noble and fair she was and how miserable a worm wus he, and so lifted his head in the pride of humiliation, as bumble minded folk are wont to do, in such manner that tho Lady Ger trude found him as beautiful and ar rogant as a king, for all his shabby clothos and slight stature. *'I may not see you again. He will cross today?I tomorrow," she said in sudden haste. "God be with you," answered the tutor, and he bowed low. Tho fugitive noble stood in tho shadow of the opening paneling, and the Lady Gertrude, full of appre hension that be should stay too long, strained an ear to catch any omi nous sounds from without and drank in eagerly the detailed plans be slow ly explained of his own escape to Holland and her journey thither on the morrow by another route. When he ended, there was a little silence between them, as with those whose hearts are too full to speak. It was speedily broken, however, by a loud ringing of the great bell, which reverberated from the desert ed courtyard below through the house. . The girl hastened to the casement of the window and looked quickly out. "There are armed men, "she said. "They have traced you here." , "Wary hounds!" ho murmured, with a look of grim humor. "To the hole, but not within. Twenty minutes and I shall be beyond the most cunning ferret's scent. God be with you, little daughter. Keep them dallying there awhile. Re member tomorrow at Ballam bridge, by nightfall." The panel fell back, and the Lady Gertrude sat down to her books and made much pretense of mumbling to herself as the old doorkeeper, scare stricken and punting, tumbled into the room with an officer of the king's service at his heels. "Soldiers!" said he. "Ah, good Oliver, what is their ; will?" said she, not deigning to raise her eyes from her book. "No barm to so fair a hostess," exclaimed the intruder. Whereupon the Lady Gertrude slowly lifted her pretty head and scanned the uncomely countenance and fat proportions of the officer with muoh deliberation. "Should fairness diminish barm, sir, 'twere a pity there were no more of the quality among his maj esty's servants." "A truce, fair one, to a war of words. I am here to crave your hospitality while waiting for the presence of one who, I am informed, purposes to visit his daughter be tween the time of noon and mid night. You start! 'Tis now hardly noon. We demand to knew in the king's name at what precise hour that interview is to take place. " 'Twere well, madam, to save that pretty head, for those who will fully harbor the treacherous Mon mouth'B followers can receive no olemency from bis most gracious majesty, King James. Their life is the forfeit, man or woman." "Sir," said Lady Gertrude after some moments of seeming fearful deliberation, "I await my lord, my father, here within an hour from now, and may God ourse you for a coward !" The fat go' jr grinned. The lady's bark was not voud enough, but her bite was, indeed, most easily avert ed with a threatening whip, as was the way with women. So he sat his broad j. arson down and did all that which he thought would beguile so pretty a shrew from her fretful humor. Full three-quarters of an hour thus passed, when news waB brought by a breathless soldier that the Earl I pf W-had bearded a frigate not j 15 minutes since and, as was related in all seriousness, bad doffed bis hat in acknowledgment of the Hery sa lute from shore. Whereupon the fat soldier got up in a fearful rage and kicked and swore as only a gentleman soldier knows well how to do, and snarled aloud that nothing should save the ?Tinning jade from the lively fate of Mistress Gaunt, who, indeed, was burned to death for a lesser misde meanor. But the Lady Gertrude lifted up her proud head and said: ' 'Even so I shall deem my father's life most cheaply bought, sir." And she walked out between the file of armed men, who, indeed, were sorry for so brave and fair a crea ture, taken thus roughly a prisoner. ? . ? - * mi The poor tutor sat over his books in the upper room of a small dwell ing house and wrestled with his thoughts till he knew not which was conscience and which the devil most plaguing him, for the Lady Gertrude had said that love was wealth, yet his rooms botrayed no signs thereof. He had a little- piece of land not far away, from which ho acquired ? small income, yet with all these things he could in nowise be counted rich. Indeed, no, thought he, when bur ried footsteps upon tho stair became confused with hit-wandering fancies, and ere be had time to weigh the matter Lady Gertrude stood beforo bim. And then something of a sweet shyness came over her, so that all in a great hurry sho set to explaining how she had been taken prisoner by the irate colonel and how, indeed, she bad escaped through the help of a cousin among the officers, who, she avowed, had once cared greatly for her. Then the boy and girl, for they were not much else, looked into one another's eyes, as they had looked these many past days during tholes sons he had set out to teach her. And now there was no table between them, so that he knelt down, and taking both her little white hands in his ho covered them with humble kisses, the which the lady seemed to have no desire to resent. "So, after all, Master Humphrey, you must needs take care of your pupil still a little while longer. To morrow at Ballam bridge at night fall there will be those waiting to conduct mo to Holland, where, I think, sir, you told me you had a mind to follow in search of further learning. Yet till then I must re main a prisoner here for fear of my very lifo," laughed she. Now, hardly bad she spoke than a clamor without sent the blood from bis cheek and fear nt last into the dauntless eyes of the Lady Gertrude, j "Quick! Within!" said he and thrust open the door of the narrow chamber and closed it upon her. Then tho steady tramp of men's feet echoed upon the winding stair. "In the king's name," said a tall officer as he entered the room, fol lowed by several men at arms. There was a strange look in his eyes as he met the tutor's gaze, and he faltered in his speech while repeat ing the common formula. "There is no one hero," answered the student deliberately. "It is necessary the place should be searched," replied the officer, "and I must warn you that if the prisoner is found your life will be forfeited without trial as a traitor harboring those in conspiracy against his majesty's crown." "There is no one here," repeated the tutor. "Search," said the officer. He had grown pale as the poor youth, who bent with seeming indifference over his books and clung closer to his chair as the men approached the lit tle door, which opened suddenly from within, as a beautiful youth in a velvet suit, with fine lace ruffs and a mass of brown, curly hair, falling negligently about his shoulders, such as was then the fashion to af fect, confronted the officer. "What noisy matter is this}" said he haughtily. "Is there no place even for students who, loyal to his majesty, claim but the quiet of their chambers to pursue the books which tell of mightier deeds than those of the internal wars of a discontented people?" Now a look of humor crept into the officer's eyes as he bowed per haps lower than was necessary to so ~oung and haughty a youth. "I am grieved to so disturb you, sir," said he. "We have been mis informed, for apparently the lady we seek is not here." And he turned upon his feet and departed with his men from the lowly roof of the poor tutor. "Master Humphrey," said the beautiful youth, and his face was crimson even as the skies after the sun hath set, "you risked being hanged on high, Master Humphrey, for me." And there were tears in his eyes. then, indeed, did nearly all Mas er Humphrey's fortitude ' depart. "Lad, 'twere but a paltry thing to risk," said he and bowed his head as one ashamed, and within himself he thought: "Now, indeed, I cannot woo her, for 'twould be the way of a coward to thus, force advantage of a maid's gratitude." But the wh?a he was pondering she stole up to him, and he knew not how it happened, but he wooed hear just the same.?Fall Mali Gazette. The editor of the Evans City, Pa, Gmb>? writes: "On?

"It's a freakish river, the Rio Grande, and no mistake. For sud den turns and capriciousuess woman herself can't equal it," said a former federal official of New Mexico. "For the 1,000 miles of its course its char acter is everything by turns from navigable water to dry tend. At its head in the mountainous San Juan country, in Colorado, it is a cold, clear trout stream. In northern New Mexico its waters are brown with sand in solution. Farther south, where the liquid mud of tho Rio Puereo (Dirty river) pours into it, its waters becomo densely muddy, and all along on its long way to the sea this queer river takes on one or another new feature different from anything that has preceded it. "But there is ono performance by this river that nover to my knowl edge has been written except in local history or in tho record of some land case in court. It is the way it served the town of Mesilla in southern New Mexico. The place is a picturesque, dignified looking old Spanish-Ameri can community, built about a plaza, with orchards and vineyards sur rounding, and stood in tho begin ning on tho west bank of tho river. Befoio the railroad came it was an important point in tho wagon freighting trade, and its people were prosperous and happy. But they had one cause of complaint. The routes of all the traffic from Texas and tho north lay on the east of the Rio Grande, and stages and wagons must ford the river in getting to and from Mesilla. This was inconven ient at all times and involved dan ger and delay in times of flood. " *Que lastima !' (what a pity), the people often said. 'If only our town stood on the east bank of the brave river !' "Their wish came to pass at last in a startling way. There was an unusually heavy snowfall in the mountains of the upper country one winter, and, the spring opening warm, the snow melted rapidly, with the result of a tremendous flood in the lower Rio Grande. Tho waters overspread the level valley until Mesilla, which luckily had been built on an eminence, became an island, the refuge of those persons from the lower lands who had not been drowned before they could reach it. The waters at last subsided, and then the discovery was made that the Rio Grande, instead of keeping to its old bed on the east, was flow, ing past the town a mile to the west of the plaza. "It was what the people had said they wanted, but it took them some time to become used to the change and get their landmarks and pointa of the compass to tally with the new order of things. Many a peon 01 Mexican of higher degree going or coming from the plaza with a load of aguardiente inside his skin got an unexpected ducking in the river when he had looked for dry land oz walked gingerly across the dry channel where the river used to run, wondering why he could not find the Rio Grande, Tales of such misad. ventures were stock stories in the lower valley for years after the flood. There was a more tragic as* pect of the business in the ?pid?mie whioh took its rise in the exhala. tioDs from the vast extent of river bottom left exposed by the change of channel. Several hundred people died from this cause in the succeed, ing summer and autumn. There are orchards and alfalfa fields in the old channel now, but its course can plainly be traced on the face of the ground, and who knows when the Rio Grande may not take a notion to return to its old bed and set the maps at fault again."?New York Sun. _ The Claas I cal Barber. "This a queer world." said J. E, Whiteford of Chicago, "and a man runs up against surprises at almost every corner. The other day I was being shaved by a good looking mu latto man in a Washington barber shop, and on talking with him found that he was a graduate of a university. He had read Cicero, Horace, Homer and Euripides and was well versed in the higher mathe matics. I asked him if ho was con tent after acquiring such an edu cation tq work in the business he was pursuing. He said that it was a case of necessity, and, much as he preferrod a more lucrative employ ment, there was nothing else open to him, and I went away wondering whether a eo called higher ?duca tion is of much use in the way of enabling a man to earn his liveli hood."?Washington Post.

One of the most famous pieces of j fake news that ever went tho rounds of the American press was in regaxd to a mysterious happening at the monument to the antislavery leader which stands at Osawatomie. Three or four years ago a story appeared in tho dispatches telling how a me teor had fallen ono clear night and had struck the monument directly in tho center, and had not only de molished the structure, but had buried itself in tho soil and was the wonder of the community. It was represented as ono of the greatest stones that had ever fallen, and there was on the part of tho superstitious u feeling that it had come as a judgment on the lifo of the man to whom the stone stood, I in some manner reflecting on his lifo work. But it was most interesting to tho scientists, who, from tho very full description of the stone, realized that it was of great value to the stu dents of geology. Several eastern colleges wroto to the town for fuller particulars and made bids for tho meteor. Ono of tho largest New York colleges was not content with that, but sent two of its professors j ou a hurried trip across the conti nent to bring tho stono homo at any cost. Tho people of Osawatomie wore astonished when strangers began to appear and ask for tho stono. In a few days tho placo was filled und tho little hotel was making money by the wholesale. As the visitors went out to the monument they wore all surprised to find it in perfect condi tion and not a trace of any oolestial visitor visible. Furthermore, no me teor had over been seen there, and none had fallen in tho memory of the oldest inhabitant. Tho whole thing was a fake. Investigation failed for many months to find tho source of the story. The papers that started it were satisfied that they had received it from what they considered good sources and would not roveal what the sources were. Fina?ly there '.-ame a confession, which, however, was never known outside a narrow cir cle. The originator was the engi neer on a branch road running through the vicinity of Osawatomie. He was a studious young man and took a deep interest in astronomy. He watched the heavene closely on his night runs and one evening was speculating on what might happen if a large meteor should fall and de molish some of the buildings or tho monumont, which is tho landmark for the vicinity. From thnt the step was easy to tell a newspaper friend that it had occurred, and the work was done. Many of the admirers of the Kan. sas hero still think his monument is a mass of ruins. Hundreds of let ters and scores of visitors visit Osa watomie conoerning it, yet it never had the least foundation except in the imagination of a railroad man.? . Chicago Times-Herald. A Peculiar Ohio Community. "There is a community at Amisb, Holmes County, O., that meets Bob Ingersoll's idea of Atlantis," said an Ohioan. "There are no churches and no ministers in the community, which consists of 15,000 or 20,000 souls, residing on 100 acre farms. Every member of the settlement is a producer. Religious meetings are held, but they are at the homos of j various members, not in regularly 1 established meeting places. Draft horses, the best in the country, I come from Amish. The customs of i the people are primitive in their simplicity. No ono over thinks of knocking at a neighbor's door; they . just walk in. Travelers who come through the community are taken in and entertained, in literal inter pretation of the Scriptural injunc tion, and no one is permitted to re ceive pay for the entertainment. The most curious of the customs of this peculiar people is that relating to its women. Married women wear black caps, those who are engaged go to church in brown headgear, while the young girls proclaim the fact that their affections are disen gaged by dainty white bonnets. There is considerable sense at the bottom of this quaint custom, and the social jealousies and heart burn ings of other towns aro said to bo practically unknown in Amish. "? St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

" My father was one of the village doctors and had sent nie with a packago of medicine for Mrs. Haw thorne when Una was born at the Old Manso. I remember standing tiptoe before tho ancient door at the end of the long uvenue of half dead ash trees and just managing to reach the ponderous iron knocker. Mr. Hawthorne himself oponed the door, and I had finished my errand and was turning away when ho said to mo, "Wouldn't the doctor's little girl like to seethe new baby!" Of course the "doctor's little girl" was crazy to see anything that was new?and of all things new a new baby?so he led me up tho aged stairs; thin, asking mo to wait a moment, disappeared through a door that stood ajar. Very soon ho reappeared with the tiniest morsel of humanity, as it seemed to me, that 1 had over seen, in his long, strong arm?. While I was admiring the baby, even then named Una, Mrs. Haw thorne, from and inner room, called mo to come and seo her. Tho gos sips of tho day in Concord called Mrs. Hawthorno "homely" and "plain," but certainly her room was not. Being an artist, she had done what, though common enough now, was then very rare?painted her furniture herself.
