them like restless bits of parchment.
A dust covered cart on the highway,
horse and master alike in their endeavors
to compromise with sleep;
there was a world of regret in the way
Billy raised his forelegs, and his head.
At the cross-roads Dave drew the
rein sharply, to Billy's discomfiture,
and his next surprise lay in the fact of
his being stopped in front of a cottage,
a strange little cottage to him, and
one almost hidden from view by the
overgrowth of tangled vines.
With laboring determination Dave
dismounted, and drew from under the
seat a square box, marked and remarked
with foreign stamps and labels;
then he re-adjusted his spectacles
and read the inscription: "Miss
Margaret Harway, Unionville, N. C."
"Eggs and hominy!" Dave exclaimed,
in lieu of a mightier oath,
what's coming to the old lady? Hain't
seen her nigh on to ten years; may be
she do be afraid of her complexion."
Dave chuckled softly to himself. "They
say the hcuse is haunted; it's mighty
queer, hiding herself with that slip of
a eirl."
By this time he had passed the gate,
which stood, by will or otherwise, hospitably
open, stumbled through the
thick matted grass, and finally reached
the door. It was cooler there, for no
sunlight could penetrate the heavy foliage;
the appreciative spiders had
hung their fantastic drawn work
around the porch, while the musty
smell of rotting timbers excluded the
sweeter odors natural to the country.
Although Dave tried to adjust his
rheumatic old knuckles to a mere tap,
the sound echoed and re-echoed
through the house as though intent
upon a hearing and presently the door
was opened, the rusty hinges creaking
and groaning in their unusual effort.
Whatever fear Dave may have felt
before, it was unmistakable terror now
that seized him and held him an unwilling
prey, for the face that returned
his fascinated gaze was drawn and
haggard, and as colorles as marble.
The eyes?Dave never forgot to his
dying day that look of horror realized,
of death, dead hopes and unutterable
woe.
"At last! At last!" she moaned. "At
last, to find rest! Oh, God, at last, at
last!" Then, without further ado, she
droped motionless at Dave's feet
Dave's kindly nature getting the bet
ter of his fear, he knelt beside tne
prostrate woman and raised her head.
"If I had a sup of water," he said,
looking helplessly around.
But before be had come to any conclusion
she made an effort to rise, and
with Dave's assistance slowly stood
upon her feet and leaned against the
wall, trembling in every limb.
Suddenly from above came the
sound of a quick step, then a burst of
song that died away in the distance;
but it seemed to excite the woman to
action.
"Quick! Quick!" she said, opening
the door of a small closet. "Put the?
the " motioning with her thin,
shaking hand toward the box.
As Dave did her bidding and drew
back, she took the key from the lock
and dropped it into her pocket, a look
of relief coming into her haggard face,
to be replaced the next moment by one
of anxiety and fear, for from above
came again that voice, singing some
long forgotten song. With her finger
on her lips, she gently pushed the very
willing Dave toward the door. Poor
lady! it was a very gentle push, for she
was still shaken by the force of her
emotions. As to Dave, he never
turned when the door closed, not he!
With a speed that indicated a happy release,
he hurried down the untrodden
path to the more cheerful company of
Billy.
Margaret Harway stood still where
tie left her, trying to recover her
strength, then, groping her way
toward a door, opened it and vanished
within. Almost at the same moment
there came down the stairs a young
girl of some 20 years; she had a winsome
face, but her full glory lay in the
rolls <Jf beautiful hair piled high on
tier shapely head, and held in place by
m odd shaped comb. One forgot to
niticise the fashion in wonder at her
beauty.
"Godmother, did you call? I thought
[ heard Godmother, where are
pou?"
For a moment she stood irresolute,
:hen with a shrug of her shoulders,
Dassed on to the kitchen. Here it was
ess comfortless; the low ceiling was
crossed with heavy rafters; the wi'niows
opened on a tiny kitchen garden,
ind by the door Margaret stood, lookng
out upon the scene, the red sun
lescending amid a glory of golden coljr
that promised heat on the morrow.
To Evangeline what a world lay bevond
the broken old nalines that had
it one time fenced in their narrow lot
?a world of laughter and song, peopled
with men and women of chivalrous
nature, or honor and noble deeds!
From childhood she had known no
Dther home but that of her godmother.
Margaret had taught her all she knew,
md nature supplied the rest as she
wandered through wood and meadow,
for she was an apt pupil.
It was while on one of these trips
that she met Paul Painway, an artist,
r?f no mean ability, and, like herself,
*lone in the world. Irresistibly they
were drawn to each other, and before
many summer days had passed they
bad plighted their troth in the good
Md-fashioned way that cannot be improved
upon.
Evangeline kept this seciet from her
gUumumei, nnuv.1115 uvi uukiiuui .v
serve, her shrinking from neighbors
who had offered kindly services. Hew
much more would she resent Paul's
presence! The future was theirs, the
'foment sufficed; why trouble for the
morrow?
It was early that evening when
Evangeline retired to her room; she
lad intended reading one of Paul's
books, but the beauty of the night
stayed her. and she threw herself on
the bed to watch the sky studded with
its myriads of mysteries. How long
'he slept she could not tell, but sud- j
lenlv she sat bolt upright with the con- j
notion that something strange was :
occurring. Was she dreaming? She 5
rubbed h^r eyes; nc.there was her god- i
mother in the garden, a box in one
band, a small spade in the other. What i
was she doing at that hour of tha
night? Why this secrecy? She shuddered
as she leaned out of the window
and watched the tall, silent form reeling
toward the most deserted portion
of the garden. Should she follow ?
Hor honor forbade. Breathless, she
awaited her godmothers' return, but
some time elapsed before she came
tott?ring toward the house. She was
muttering to herself, but the girl
coulci not hear her words.
The next morning Margaret Harway
was found dead in her chair. "Heart
! failure" the doctor pronounced the
! cause of her death, and heart failure
i iL was. very genuy x^vangeuue ;

ters, n,nd tying them together laid

j Evangeline yielded to Paul's desire to
] an immediate, marriage; alone, with- i
; out money efajfriends, it seemed her
! only possible course. She turned ini
stinctively to Paul, and he did not fail
j her.
j To clear the ground arour.d the
house was Paul's duty as well as his
I phasvre. At first it seemed a hope!
les task, but by degrees the flower bed3
j took form and outline, until the only
I remaining tangle was the far corner
i under tho apple tree,
j As thev drew near the spot, one af- j
I tornoon. intending to work there, j
! Evangeline shuddered and drew back, j
| "It was h?re she came on that, oread!
ful night," she whispered to her hus- |
j band. "I couid see her busy among
I tho bushes. Oh. Paul, what was sho
I doing?"
Paul drew her toward him.
"My darling, you must forget. Just J
as the weeds and mould have been j
cleared from the old place, so the i
shadows must pass from my darling.
Come, be brave, this is our last task."
He struck his spade into the earth,
and threw up the rich black mould.
Suddenly he stopped.
"There is something here/' ne saia,
running his hand through the loose
earth. "Who knows but what it is a
fortune? It is a box," he said more
I
i seriously, drawing it forth with some
| difficulty.
Evangeline was clinging to a tree
j for support.
"Oh, Paul, do not touch it! Put it
| back?put it back! I know it must be
j something dreadful, something we do
! not want to know. If you love me,
j Paul, bury it quickly!"
} There was so much anguished eni
treaty in her voice that he did as* she
! oade him.
I "We will leave it," he said reluc;
tantly, "but we owe it to ourselves and
j to her to solve this mystery. Come,
j we will look through the old papers
and letters you have laid away." And
so, with his arm around her, they
went into the hous? and up the stairs.
At first it seemed as though the mystery
would not be solved, at any rate
by the letters; but finally Evangeline
j leaid before Paul the letter she had
i taken from the dead woman's hand,
| then, looking over her husband's
shoulder, she read with him: ?

SHIPS SUNK BY WHALES
WHEN LEVIATHANS HUNT THEIR
HUNTERS THERE IS TROUBLE.
Varn of t'lie Mnkinjj of the Ann Alexander
by a Maddened Whale ? The Ship
Etaex ol Nantucket Met a Similar Fate
? A Fichtlns Whale a Dangerous Foe.
Nothing definite has been learned
of the sinking of the bark Kathleen
by a whale, reported last week. Capt.
Thomas H. Jenkins, her master, only
cabled to her owner, Wiiliam R. Wing
of New Bedford, as follows:
"Kathleen sunk by whale. Captain
and wife anc! officers saved. Nine men
missing."
The disaster occurred on the 17th of
March off the coast of Brazil. This
tells all that, is known of the mishap.
Sc rarely have whalemen had such an
experience that old sailors find material
I n rd^nfv f a ^Hcaiipc? rnn^H1
i lui. iu tu uiov-uoo iug
But two liko occurrences are known
since the early days of whaling.
The Kathleen was always called a
lucky ship and made many a good
voyage. She was cruising in the South
Atlantic and it is presumed that she
must ha.ve been on the River La
Plata grounds when sunk. The cable
comes from Pernambuco, Brazil, and
whether Capt. Jenkins and his crew
were picked up and taken to Pernambuco
by a vessel, or reached that port
in boats of his own. is not known. The
nine men missing were undoubtedly
in one of the stanch whaleboats, and
it is possible that they may have
reached land, but have not been able
to communicate the fact as did Capt.
Jenkins.
Cases of whalers rushing head on
are very rare. One instance which
will be remembered by some of the
older whalemen was in 1851, when the
ship Ann Alexander was sunk in the
Pacific Ocean by a maddened whale.
In the Whaleman's Shipping List of
Nov. 4, 1851, is a very full account of
that occurrence. The story, told by
Capt. John S. Deblois, follows:
The ship Ann Alexander sailed from
New Bedford, June 1, 1850, for a
cruise in the south Pacific. Having
taken 50 barrels of sperm oil in the
Atlantic Capt. Deblois proceeded on
the voyage to the Pacific. On the
20th of August, 1851, while cruising
on the "off shore grounds," at 9
o'clock in the morning whales were
discovered, and at noon of the same
dav succeeded in makine fast to one.
The mate's boat made fast to the
whale, which ran with the boat for
some time, and then suddenly turning
about rushed at the boat with open
jaws crushing the little craft into
splinters. Capt. Deblois rescued the
boat's crew.
Later the waist boat was lowered
from the ship and another attack
made upon the leviathan. The mate
again in charge of the attacking boat
experienced another smash-up, for in
the battle the whale again turned on
the boat's crew and crushed the second
boat. The crew was saved and
al] hands returned to the ship, which
proceeded after the whale. The ship
passed on by him. and immediately after
It was discovered that the whale
was making for the ship. As he came
up near her they hauled on the wind
and suffered the monster to pass her.
After he had fairly passed they kept
off to overtake and attack him again.
When the ship had reached within 50
rods of him the crew discovered that
the whale had settled down deep below
the surface of the water, and as
It. was near sundown it was decided to
give up the pursuit. The ship was
moving about five knots and while
Capt. DebJois stood at the rail he suddenly
saw the whale rushing at the
ship at the rate of 15 knots.
In an instant the monster struck the
ship with tremendous violence, shaking
her from stem to stern. She quivered
under the shock as if she had
struck upon a rock. The whale struck
the ship about two feet from the keel,
abreast the foremast, knocking a great
hole entirely through her bottom,
through which the water rushed in.
The anchors and cables were thrown
overboard, as she had a large quantity
of pig iron aboard. The ship
sank rapidly, all effort to keep her
afloat proving futile. Capt. Deblois ordered
all hands to take to the boats
and was the last to leave the ship,
doing so by jumping from the vessel
into the sea. and swimming to the
nearest boat. The ship was on her
beam ends, her topgallant yards under
water. They hung around in the vicinity
of the Anr. Alexander all that
night, and the next day the captain
horded his vessel, and cutting away
the masts she righted, when they succeeded
in getting stores -from her
hold with which to supply their boats,
should it become necessary to make
I boat voyage to land. On Aug. 22
ship Nantucket, Capt. Gibbs, cruising
i.i that vicinity, discovered the imperilled
sailors, and taking them in
charge landed them at Paiyta, Sept.
15. The Ann Alexander was hopelessly
wrecked and left to her fate on
Aug. 23.
Five months after this disaster this
pugnacious whale was captured by
the Rebecca Simms of this port. Two
of the Ann Alexander's harpoons were
found in him and his head had sustained
serious injuries, pieces of the
ship's timbers being imbedded in it.
The whale: yielded 70 to 80 barrels of
oil.
The only other known case of a
like nature occurred to the ship Essex
of Nantucket, commanded by Capt.
George Pollard, Jr. She sailed from
Nantucket Aug. 12, 1819. for a cruise
on the Pacific ocean. On the morning
of Nov. 20, 1319, in latitude of 0.40
scuth and longitude 119 west, whales
were discovered and all three boats
lowered in pursuit. The mate's boat
soon struck a whale, but a blow of
the animal's tail opening a bad hole
in the boat the crew was obliged to
cut from him. In the meantime, the
captain's and second mate's boats had
fastened to another whale, and the
mate, heading the ship for the other
boats, set about overhauling his boat
preparatory to lowering again. While
doing this he saw a large sperm whale
break water about 20 rods from the
TVif, /Hcnnnparpil hilt, im
BJ*i [/ J u V II uuiv
mediately came up about a ship's
length off, and made directly for the
vessel, going at a velocity of about
three mil as an hour and the Essex
advancing at about the same rate of
speed. Scarcely had the mate ordered
the boy at the helm to put it
hard up, when the whale with greatly
accelerated speed, struck the ship
with his head just forward of the forechains.
The ship brought up suddenly
and violently and trembled like
a leaf. The whale passed under the
vessel, scraping her keel as she went,
came up on the leeward side, and lay
apparently stunned for a moment. The
vessel began to settle at the head with
the whale 100 yards off thrashing the
water violently with his tail and opening
and closing his jaws with great
fury.
While the mate was thinking of
getting the two extra boats clear,
the vessel had begun to settle rapidlj.
the cry was started by a sailor:
"Here he is, he is making for us
again!" The whale came down for the
ship with twice his ordinary speed,
and a line of foam about a rod in
width, made with his tail, which he
continually thrashed from side to
side, marked his coming. The whale
crashed into the bows of the Essex,
staving them completely in directly
under the cathead. The whale after
the second assault passed under the
ship and out of sight to the leeward.
The crew were in a fix, in mid-ocean,
a thousand miles from the nearest
land and nothing but the frail whaleboats
to save them. The lashings of
the spare boat were cut and she was
launched with the ship falling on hec
beam ends. The ship hung Togethe*
for three days. Provisions were taken
from her and the whaleboats
strengthened. The boats started for
the coast of Chile or Peru, and after
a hard time they landed at Ducies island.
Unable to find subsistence there
they again started, Dec. 27, after lcay
ing three of their number, of their
own desire, and commenced to make
the perilous voyage to the island ot
Juan Fernadez. Many of the beat's
crew died, and the recital states that
the flesh of a dead comrade was eaten
by members of the mate's boat. On
Feb. 17 the surviving crew of the
mate's boat were picked up by the
brig Indian. Capt. Pollard and
Charles Ramsdale, the sole survivors
i of the captain's boat, were picked up
j Feb. 28 by a Nantucket whaler, and
the third boat was never heard from.
?New London Day.
THE TRADE IN TATTOOING.
A Once Profi'able Industry That Hak
Fallen Off in Late Yearn.
The tattoo market is not in a satisfactory
condition. It has grown worse
steadily for several years, and none of
the leading professionals are happy
over the trade as it stands or the
promise for the immediate future. One
of them said the other day that he had
had half a mind to close up shop for
good. "A few years ago," he said,
"there were 10 of us tatooers in this
shop and the business was great, but
the American people don't care for fine
art, and we are suffering accordingly.
There was a time when no museum
was complete without a tatooed man
or a tattooed 'lady.' Those were the
days that made a fellow happy. Captain
Costcnus, 'the Great iatooed
Greek,' was worth $5000 a year at one
time, and Mile. Celeste, who was captured
and made a princess and tatooed
by the cannibals of Fiji (between ourselves
I was the Fijis), got $150 a week
for several seasons. The trade has
not died out altogether, but we do not
get any moreb ig jobs, only little ones
that take half an hour or an hour;
young men that want to have a ship or
a heart, and. their sweetheart's initials
tattooed on their arms, and now and
then a mother who desires an identification
mark tattooed on her baby.
That is to prevent his being stolen, she
says. I never heard of a case where
it did prevent it, but then they get the
idea from blood-and-thunder novels,
and feel quite proud when it is done.
Anotner class wno want queer syuiuuia
tattooed upon their bodies are the theosophists
and men who belong to organizations
I never heard of."
"Is your work difficult?"
"Not at all. All that it requires is
a steady hand, a good eye and a knowledge
of the business. For tattooing
blue and dark blue we use India ink
tcday just as they have done for centuries.
For reds we employ cochineal
and sometimes purified iron rust. For
green there is a mineral powder
ground very fine that beats anything I
know of. For yellow, ochre is the
best. You have to be very careful
with colors, and I often think the
trade got a black eye from careless or
ignorant people using injurious or
poisonous substances. Many of the
colored inks when tattooed make big
sores. So will many of the water
colors which are used by painters.
Chrome yellow is poisonous, and so
are all the greens and blues which
contain copper. I ought to say that
chrome green is not dangerous excepting
whpn it is imnure and contains
lead. There are some vegetable colors
which are not injurious, but ought not
to be used, because they are slowly
dissolved by the blood. You can get a
very beautiful effect from spinach
green. It looks just as pretty as the
side of a ripe green apple, but after a
year it grows quite faint, and in three
or four years it is absorbed altogether
and there is nothing left When I began
business a crazy Scotchman had
me tattoo Stuart plaid stockings from
his toes up to his knees."
Mammon Worship.
Undoubtedly one of the worst things
a young man has to contend against
in the New York of today is mammon
worship. "It is perfectly rotten," said
a young fellow recently in the vernacular
of his kind. "A man must
have money or he Is a failure; he
must make it somehow, and he must
not. be too long about it, either, for it
is the only criterion of success. Noth
ihg counts without it, and it makes a
fellow feel that all he has been taught
as a boy to consider desirable is not
worth while. The cultivation of one's
mind, the living up to any standard,
an honorable career in one's profesj
sion, are all very well in their way
j if a chap is content to plod along without
being much thought of, but the
world does not consider such things
.of much account They do not mean
money, and that is really the only
thing worth having, apparently. It is
all very stultifying, of course. I know
that I am deteriorating morally; that J
I no longer feel any enthusiasm for j
things that I used to admire, and that j
my whole mind is warped by the greed
for gain which I see on every side, and
which is the dominant spirit among the
people I know. I despise myself for it,
and I despise the world I live in.. But
what is a fellow to do?"?New York
Tribune.
Threw Tolstoi's Manuscript Away.
It took Count Tolstoi five years to
gather the historical materials for
"War and Peace." The preliminary
writings from which the book sprang
are now in the Rumjanzoff Museum,
Moscow. But they had a hard time
getting there. Some years ago when
Countess Tolstoi was ill a careless servant
took the manuscripts and threw
them into a disused canal in the park
near the house. They were discovered
after several weeks and rescued.

Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from 1217

"J suffered for years with a pain
in the small of my back and right

domestic and social duties and I
never supposed that 1 would be
cured, as the doctor's medicine did
not seem to help me any.
''Fortunately a member of our

gave it such high praise that 1 decided
to try it. Although 1 started
in with little faith, 1 felt so much
better in a week that 1 felt encouraged.
"1 took it faithfully for seven

Words fail to express my gratitude.

The great popularity of Peruna as a catarrh
remedy has tempted many people to
imitate Peruna. A great many so-called
catarrh remedies and catarrhal tonics are
to be found in many drug stores. These
remedies can be procured by the druggist
much cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can
only be obtained at a uniform price, and
no druggist can get it a cent cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are tempted to * * .
substitute the cheap imitations of Peruna
for Peruna. It is aone every day without
a doubt.
