T*ie next morning two blue clad servants of the i’nited Railways company, the same number of policemen and a cloud of sabie witnesses lined up before Judge Tracey. One lotpi'icious colored geutleuiai gave his testimony, which was so obvi ously in opnositiou to the facts in the case that the intervention of the judge seemed necessary. “Have you read the Bible?” askcn the Judge. "Yes, sir.” briskly responded the wit ness. “1 have been a student of the Holy Scriptures ever since I was a child.” “I*id you ever read In the Bible of a character named Ananias?" “Yes. sir. and I have been trying to HORSE-SHOE ROBINSON A TALE OF THE TORY ASCENDENCY BY JOHN P. KENNEDY The passage of the brook occupied time; for the thirsty horses were successively given a slack rein as they entered the ford, and were al lowed to drinl:>. This delay separat ed the platoons, and those who first passed over had advanced a consider able distance before the stragglers of the rear had quitted the stream. For some minutes that stir and noise pre vailed which, in » military party, generally attends the attempt to re store order anionst confused or brok en ranks. The frequent commands of officers summoning the loiterers and chiding their delay, were given from front to rear in loud tones, and the swift gallop of those who had lingered in the stream, as they obey ed the order and hastened forward to their places, sent forth a quick and spirited evidence of bustle, that broke sharply ufion the silence of the surrounding forest. These indi cations of activity unfortunately prick ed with a sudden astonishment the ea r of one who has heretofore figur ed. not without renown, in this his tory—the lusty and faithful Captain Peter; who, not sufficiently alive to the distinction between friend and foe, now began to snuff, and paw the ground, and then with a long and clear note of recognition, to express his feelings of good fellowship to wards the unseen strangers. Another moment, and the gay and thoughtless steed reared, plunged broke his bridle, and bounded through the woods, with a frolicsome speed that brought him into the midst of the troop, where he wheeled up and took hig place, like a disciplined charger, on the flank of one of the platoons. This incident caused the officer in command of the party to come again to a halt, and to despatch a portion of his men to seek the owner of the horse. An eager search commenced, which was almost immediately ter minated by the wary sergeant pre senting himself to the view of the troop, on a prominent and exposed point of the rock, where he seemed to be busily and unconcernedly en gaged with his jack-knife, in strip ping the bark from the roots of a sassafras tree that grew out of one of the fissures of the cliff. Appar ently, he gave no attention to the clamor around him. nor seemed to show a wish to conceal himself from notice. “Who in the devil are you—and what are you about?” exclaimed the leading soldier, as he mounted the rock and came up immediately be- follow him and imitate his example for hind Robinson, who was still fixed nigh on t<> twenty years." rejoined the j w jth one knee upon the ground, ply witness. “That will do.” said the judge. “You may i-tep down, it seems to me that $10 and costs will about fit this case.” The witness left the chair, wondering what the people were all laughing about. Outside the courtroom light was shed on the personality of the Scripture character whom he had been modestly following. A colored clergy, man did the light shedding act, and the witness hastened hack to correct ing his labor at the root of the tree. “Good day, friend,” said Robinson, looking up over his shoulder, “Good day; From your looks you belong to the army, and, if that’s true, per haps you mought be able to tell me how far it is from here to the river?” “Get up on your feef,” said the other, “and follow me quickly!

The story goes that a friend once met him in Ireland garbed In a pair of continuations which were not on speak ing terms wit?: his hoots and chaffed him mercilessly about the "lucid inter val” that occurred between them. But “Tommy." ns Lord Longford is known to his Intimates, in nowise disconcert •d. blandly explained that it was really a matter of high politics. “You see. my dear fellow, the breeches were made by a tailor who is a rampant Orangeman, while the bools ground, threw it in his hand, rose and walked after the soldier. He was conducted to the troop, who were waiting in the road the return of the men that had been despatched on this piece of service. “Quick, quick, move yourself! we have no time to lose,” cried out the officer in command of the detach ment, as Horse Shoe and his guide came in view; and then, atfer an in terval of silence, during which for him. he added with an impatient abruptness, “Make few words of it. sir. Your name, w'here from, and into the charge of one of the leaders of a platoon, and then put spurs to hi 8 steed and moved to the head of the column. It w r as in the afternoon when this incident occurred; and Robinson found himself, during the remainder of the day, compelled to follow the troop through a jseries of by-ways across the country, in a direction of which he was wholly ignorant,—be ing also in the same degree unac quainted with the object of the march, i When the day closed they arrived at a farm house, where it seemed to be their purpose to pass the night; and here the sergeant, towards whom no unnecessary rigor had been exercis-1 ed, was freely allowed to participate in the cheer provided for the party, j This rest was of short duration; for, before the coming of the alioted bed- * 1 hour, a courier arrived, bringing a | despatch to the leader of the detach-! ment, which produced an instant or- ■ der to saddle and resume the march, j Once more upon the road, the serge ant became aware, as well as he was able to determine in the dark, that the party during the night were retracing their steps, and returning upon the same route which they had before travelled. A half hour before the dawn found the troop ascending a long hill, the summit of which, as Robinson per ceived from the rustling of the blades in the morning wind, was covered by a field of standing corn; and he was enabled to descry', moving athwart the starlit sky, the figures of men on horseback approaching the column. The customary challenge was given; a momentary halt ensued, and he could hear the patrole—for such they described themselves.—informing the officer of the detachment that Colo-1 nel Tarleton was close at hand ex-1 pecting their arrival. This intelli gence induced an increase of speed which, after a short interval, brought the nightworn squadron into the pre sence or nearly a whole regiment of cavalry. The troops, thus encountered, were stationed upon the high-road where | it crossed an open and uncultivated plain, the nearer extremity of which was bordered b.v the cornfield of which I have spoken. It was appar ent that the regiment had passed the night at this place, as a number of horses were yet attached to the fence ; that guarded the field, and were feed-; ing on the blades of corn that had ! been gathered and thrown before them. The greater part, however, were now drawn up in column of march, as if hut recently arrayed to prepare for the toil of the coming day. | Robinson wag conducted along the , flank of the column, and thence to a spot in the neighborhood, whore a party of officers assembled by a syl van ’ tent, constructed of the boughs of trees, showed him that he was at: the headquarters of the oommander | of the corps. This tent was pitched ; upon a piece of high ground that af-; forded a view of the distant horizon ; in the east, where a faint streak of daylight lay like the traces of a far- off town in flames, against which the i forms of men and horses were reliev-1 ed, in bold profile, as they now mov ed about in the early preparations for their march. A single faggot gleamed within the tent, and, by its ray, Horse Shoe was enabled to discern the well knowm figure of Tarleton, as he conferred with a company of officers around him. After the sergeant had waited a few moments, he was ordered into the presence of the group within: “You were found yesterday,” said Tarleton, “in suspicious circumstanc es—what is your name, fellow?” “I am called Stephen Foster by name,” replied the sergeant, “being a stranger in these parts. At home I’m a kind of a gardner tr> a gentle man in Virginia; and it isn’t long since I sot out with his daughter to come here info Carolina. She fell “MV order*,’’ replied the lieuten ant, “were to arrest all auspicious persons; and I had two reasons to | suspect this man. First, he who found upon a spot that couldn’t have been better chosen for a look-out if he had been sent to reconnoitre us; and second, his horse showed some military training.” “But the booby himself was stupid enough,” rejoined the commander, “to carry his passport in his face.” “I have a paper, sir, to that pur pose," said Horse Shoe, putting his hands into his pockets, “it signifies. I was told.—for I can’t read of my own accord—that I mought pass free without molest!fication from the sodg- ers of the king—this is it, I believe, sir.” “To three suppers at the rising sun, four and six pence,” said Tar leton, reading. “Tush, this is a tavern bill!’’ “Ha. ha. so it is,” exclaimed Robin son. “NVIell, I have been keeping that' there paper for a week past, thinking | it was my certificate—and, like a fool. I have gone and tore up the t’other.” “Wle are wasting time, gentlemen,” said the commander. “Turn this fel low loose, and let him go his ways. But hark you. did you hear of a fight lately on Pedee, between some of our people and Marion—three days ago?” ■ "They talked of such a thing on the river,” replied Horse Shoe. “Well, and what was said?” “Nothing in particular that I can bear In mind.” I “Like all the rest we have tried to get out of him; You don’t even know which party got the better?” “Oh, I have hearn that, sir.” “\V!hat did you hear? speak out!”. “Shall j give you the cL'cumlocu- tory account of the matter?” asked Horse Shoe, “or did you wish me? to go into the particulars?” “Any account, so that it be short.” j “Then I have beam that Marion gave the t’other side a bit of a beat ing.” “Aye, aye, so I suppose! Another tale of this Jack the Giant Killer! And what hag become of Marion?” “That's onbeknownst to me,” re- plied Horse Shoe. “Do you remember the fool we met at the Waxhaws last May ” asked! one of the officers present, of anoth er. “This fellow might pass for a full brother in blood—only I think this clown has the less wit of the two.” “As heavy a lump, certainly,” re plied the officer. “This, you say, is the first time you have been in Caro-1 lina?” “To my knowledge,” replied the j sergeant. “It is broad day, gentlemen.” said Tarieston; “we have been squander ing precious time upon an empty simpleton. Give him his beast ana let him be gone. Sirrah, you ate free to depart. But, look you. if I hear any report along the road of your having seen me, or a word about my coming. I’ll ferret you out and have you trussed upon a stake twenty feet long.” “Thank your honor,” said Horse Slice, as he left the tent. “I never troubles my head with things out of my line.” Then seeking his horse he leisure ly rode back by the way he had come; and as soon as he found himself be yond the outposts of the corps, he urged Captain Peter to as much speed J as the late arduous duties of the good beast left him power to exert. (Continued next Friday.) AS SUCCESSFUL EAST AS IN THE WEST Cooper’s Theories Are Being Rapidly Accepted by Eastern People. L. T. Cooper, whose theory that the human stomach is the cause of most ill health and who created a furore In Chicago, St. Louis and other western cities, is meeting with the same remarkable success with his medicine throughout the east. Cooper has convinced an Immense number of people that his theory Is sound and his medicine will do what he claims. Perhaps the most interesting fear tures of the discussion tills young man is causing, are the statements made by responsible people who have taken his medicines and have become enthusiastic converts to his beliefs. Among statements of tills charac ter, the following, by Mr. August vVittmer, 1049 Rockwell Court, Chi cago, Is characteristic of the spread faith in Cooper, whic Court, wide- which has grown up in a comparatively short time. Mr. Wittmer says; “I wouldn’t take $1,000 and be in the condition I was three weeks ago. I was practi cally an invalid for fourteen years and think I had about all of the dis eases known. My stomach was weak, End at times I would have an enor mous appetite, and then again none 1 * at all. Pie and cake made me sick, and I almost always had a sickening feeling in my stomach. I was ner vous, and for weeks at a time could not sleep, and then again could sleep eighteen hours at a stretch. Sleep, however, seemed to do me no good, and I would awake tired and more exhausted than when I went to bed. M I was constipated, had pains in my back, and flutterings and pains in my heart. I was unable to work with any regularity, and took no in terest In anything. I tried all kinds of medicines and doctors, but none benefited me. I had no energy and no ambition, and had about concluded to give up when the Cooper medicine was recommended. Thanks to it, my health seems completely restored and I feel like a new man.” Cooper medicines have created the greatest sensation of anything of the kind ever before introduced.

They were often larded with too much technique to trust to my memory for their reproduction. Two episodes may be cited: While operating upon a patient for appendicitis action of the heart sud- detdy eased, for no imaginable rea son. Tile patient w as dead. Instantly the surgeon thrust his arm inside the abdominal cavity, seized the heart that had ceased to beat in his strong grasp, squeezed it until the blood was forced into the extremities of the body. Re laxing his grasp, tin* moribund organ retilled. This artificial heart action was maintained until the organ acted of itself. Tiie original operation was completed and the patient, who was dead, is alive today. Another experience related to a man who was shot in the abdomen, the ball having made four perforations of tin* small Intestine. Dr. Shrady had the man put on the operating tabh* open ed tiie abdominal cavity, removed all the intestines—al>out sixteen feot in length, if I remember—examined e\ery inch of them to see that further injury had not occurred, eliminated exactly eight inches of the intestine which contained the pistol holes, constructed a switch for tiie alimentary canal un til the joint could heal, then sewed up the incision, in which a tulie had been inserted for this deflection, and the pa tient was seut home a whole man—if we except a section of his intestine*.
