N the summer of 18GG the lEI O few families living at I T Clark's Crossing, in "Western Wisconsin, were fgjjf |B)| thrown into great excitement by the rining of a cow-bell. Perhaps if it had been an ordinary cowbell, or had been heard in any other field, it would not have caused even a rinnlA of AToifement aniona the stolid {irmers; but that that particular bell bould ring in thaf one field and in 0 other, just at that particular time, nd that no one should ever catch sight 1 the mysterious ringer, was enough i cause excitement, even in a place here sensations were more common tan they were in that little backoods settlement. Clark's Crossing had been named ter the wealthy owner of the largest xm in the township. It is doubtful this name would have been chosen the man who had first applied it the cluster of houses that stood tar the spot where the railway ossed the main road had supposed at the neighbors wohld adopt the .me, for Mr. Clark was not popular aong them.

Mr. Clark went out a few yards into the wheat, and. holding his lantern as high as he could, peered into the aemi-darkness. "Clink, clink, clink." sounded the bell?only a few yards away, it seemed -1 to him, but he could see nothing. "Get out. you trespassing beast!" he shouted again, stamping angrily. The bell rattled as if the cow had shaken her head, and then all was tttl , ERVATIVE. I At forty you had always known Man owes a duty to his own.

One of the section men, who had been to the village and was late in returning. called to his neighbor: "What's up, Clark?" "Somebody's cattle in my wheat again," replied the farmer. "Can you see anything?" The man stooped until bis eyes were on a level with the top of the wheat and looked across the field. In the silence the "clink, clink'' of the bell was distinctly audible. "No," he answered; "I can't see anything. But I can hear her. There's only one, I think." ' Sounds like that cow of Widow Garrett's," observed the farmer. "Well, it isn't her," rejoined the man?"nor her bell, neither, for we buried them both. But it does sound like it." "It does that," answered the farmer, "and there wasn't another bell like it in the township. Well. I must get the old critter out, or she'll have half the wheat trampled down." He shuffled away, following the "clink, clink," of the bell, that seemed to come from just beyond the circle of light cast by the lantern he was holding. Presently he stopped, for the sound of the bell had ceased. Mr. Clark listened for a moment. Then he kicked some of the hard earth loose, gathered a handful, and flung It in the direction in which he had heard the bell. "Whey, you old fool!" he shouted. A light wind stirred the wheat, but there was no other sound; nor did lie hear the bell again that night, although he searched for some time: neither d d he find any cattle in the field. He examined. the fence, but could find no place where an animal could have broken in. The more he thought about it the more mystified he became. He feared that the bell-ringing would be repeated, nor were his fears in vain. It began somewhat earlier than on the previous evening, and armed with his lantern A J rtVl Vl A A /I A/) a siuui ouliv \> liicu uvr JJUU ?JiiMiueut Mr. Clark sallied out at the first "clink, clink,*' of the bell, and for nearly an hour followed it about, as he had done on the previous night, and to as little purpose. Two of the nearest neighbors threw up their windows and listened when they saw the lantern in the field, and the singular affair began to be talked of in the neighborhood. The only result of this second visitation was to fix the idea firmly in the grinds of Mr. Clark and those who heard it, that it was really old Brindle's bell. The next day Mr. Clark called on Widow Garrett. "I came," he began, with assumed confidence, "to buy your cow-bell. I suppose you'd as lief sell it, as you have no use for it now?" "I should be glad to do so,*' assured the widow, "but they did not think it worth keeping, and so buried it with the cow." "I'd pay you a good price for it," he continued watching her keenly. "I'm sorry I have not get it," she replied. "I'd be glad enough to sell it if I could." The man turned a shade paler. "I?I can't always teil my cow-bells when I'm hunting my cows, they're so like the others, and that was so different." "I'm sorry." repeated the widow. "Oh. well, it don't matter." continued Mr. Clark. "Now I come to think of it, the bell was cracked and \\ii&n u iiiuv;u. iuu ji ux: a new one. I presume?" The widow shook her head. "It would be a great help to me," she said, "but I could not raise the money to buy one." That night the farmer decided not to go out to the field, but he discovered, as did his neighbors, that the bell rang just the same, whether he went out or not. Big boys began to whistle when they had to pass the field afiter sundown, and little boys would not.pass it at all after dark. The next night the farmer lay awake and listened: he did not get up until the sound of the bell came through the field, aud went up and down, up and down along his garden fence. Then he left his bed, dressed himself and followed it into the field. A number of the neighbors stood in the road and shouted out to him. "Why don't you set the dog on it?" called one. Mr. Clark did not keep a dog, but a neighbor brought one, and it was sent into the field. It went in fast enough, but it did not come back. Later the owner found that it had sneaked out on the opposite side of the field and gone home. The neighbors were standing outside the fence, and Mr. Clark inside, just in the edge of the wheat. With one accord they seemed to have left hie; ' - te-. ' is'/>?;?*-Stf-hx to search out the mystery alone, only helping by advice. "Why don't you go into the field before it comes," asked one, "and watch ?" This he decided to do. Near the centre of the field stood a huge stump. The tree had been cut down years be fore, and used for rails, but one cut of the log ?a mere shell now ?lay near the stump, and beside this Mr. Ciark seated himself, in the early twilight, and waited. For some reason best known to himself. perhaps, he had chosen to seat himself facing the railway and with his back to the farmhouse. His eyes were on a level with the top of the wheat; he could hardly fail to see anything that might come within the fence, either before or on either side 1 of him. All was still:.and at last he decided to go back to the house. But. as he arose from his cramped position and turned, with his back to the field, he found he had worked himself into the condition of a frightened boy. who dares not look back for fear he will see something, and dares not quicken his steps for fear that he will run. But. almost at the moment that he turned, the sound of the bell broke out sharp, distinct and aggressively near, 'behind him. But when he turned at the fence there was nothing in sight: even the wheat was still, except where he had just passed through it. The next day Mr. Clark t^ok one of his best young cows to the widow. "It will be winter soon." he said; "and I'vj got more than I have stable room for. It will oblige me if you'll take care of her for the milk and butter von'll iret and I'll bring a load or two of hay to begin on."' The bell rang no more after that, and it was more tfean a nine days' wonder and talk; but. as has been intimated before, sensations were scarce in that primitive neighborhood. Years afterwards, some one found a rusty cow-bell with a broken tongue in th# hollow log. and it revived the story 05.' .the haunted wheat field. "No.'"?said Tommy Garrett?a man grown when they mentioned it to him; "I did not intend to scare Mr. Clark the first time. I'd got the bell, and was coming through the field, playing that I -was Brindie, when he came out. That made me think of getting him out again. It was easy to take the tongue in my hand when he'd get too close, and it was fun! I'd have rung it again, only I broke the clapper that night I chased him. No, my mother didn't know; she'd have belted me good if she had!"?Golden Days. Zola'ft Strenuous Life. The strenuous life is not new. For strenuosity that is the real thing one must read Vizetelly's newly published "Life of Emfle Zola." Ghastly, grisly was Zola's early struggle in Paris. He starved with Iiis griseite in a garret. He wrote plays and they were not accepted. He wrote novels and they fell flat. He persevered, however, and finally came into his own, into fame and fortune. His literary work may not last, but he will live as the friend of Dreyfus. He was a poseur as a reformer. His attempt to duplicate Balzac's "Human Comedy" in the RougonMacquart series of novels was, it must be confessed, a failure. But Zola worked without ceasing, and he had ??-?J < "/>?< of tt-oc That hA AJ15 retVUiU, suiu a.o XL. ?> could not enter the French Academy was the great grief of his life. His exclusion was just, for his writings were hardly literature. He will live with Voltaire as the friend of the persecuted and oppressed. His "Life" is a bitter,^strong story of a man whose chief gospel was work, work and evermore work. And when I finished the book I wondered what became of the little grisette with whom he starved in the garret in the early days. Poor little grisette; she was surely responsible for much that was best iu Zola.?St. Louis Mirror. Chinese at Dominoes. The domino craze has struck the local colony of Chinese and fan tan has been given up for the time being. The Chinese game is played differently from the American one. Their dominoes are larger and of better quality than the kind usually seen here and the spots are white and red. The backs are of ebony. The Chinese game is similar to a card game, but it is unlike any card game played here with the exception that the Chinese have a jack pot. "We have no "straights' in Chinese games." said one last night who was watching the tables in a place on Stato street, "and iu nearly all of our games there is a jackpot.

The Thorn-well Orphanage Seminary building at Clinton has again suffered from fire. The flames caught in the roof from a defective flue and was burned to the ground. Workmen had just finished testing a new furnace and^the building had been closed for the day. The fire was discovered early, but as the town has pot yet put in its waterworks, the efforts to put out the flumes were of no avail. The fire soon reached an eighty-five foot tower and became a huge pillar of flames. Efforts were then diverted to the urotection of the McCormick home, a dormitory building on the orphanage campus, and the recitation hall of the Presbyterian college, both of which were threatened. 'Both buildings were adequately protected. The Thornwell seminary for orphans, which was the name of the burned building, was dedicated in 1883 by Governor Hugh S. Thompson, whose death in New York a few days ago the people are now lamenting. The building was in process of construction for eighteen months during which period the labor and other bills . were promptly met at the end of each week, though at no time were the funds in hand sufficient to pay them a week in advance. This was the main educational structure of the large institution and contained in addition to a large chapel j some six < class rooms. The loss is eieht thousand dollars, with only ope I thousand dollars of insurance. It falls, therefore, as a heavy blow j upon an institution which only a few j days ago had a similar loss in the | burning of memoiral hall, the dining ; hall of the orphanage.
