Plain Language From Truthful James. (bhkt haute.) Which I wish to remark.— And my language is plain,— That for ways that are dark And for tricks that are vain, The heathen Chinee is peculiar. Which the same 1 would rise to explain- Ah Sin was his name; And I shall not deny In regard to the same What that name might imply. Hut his smile it was pensive and child like, As 1 frequent remarked to Bill Nye. It was August the third; And quite soft was the skies; Whichlt mi^ht be inferred That Ah Sin was likewise ; Yet he played it that day upon William And me in a way I despise. Which we had a small game, And Ah Sin took a hand ; It was Euchre. The same He did not understand, But he smiled as be sat by the table, With the smile that was childlike and bland. Yet the cards they were stocked In a way that I grieve, And my feelings were shocked At the state of Nye's sleeve: V> hich was stuffed fall of aces and bowers, And the same with intent to deceive. But the hands that were played By that heathen Chinee, And the points that he made, Were quite frightful to see,— Till at last he put down a right bower, Which the same Nye had dealt unto me. Then I looked up at Nye, And he gazed upon me; And he rose with a sigh,— And said, “Can this be? We are ruined by Chinese labor.”— And he went for that heathen Chinee In the scene that ensued I did not take a hand, But the floor if was strewed Like the leaves on the strand With the cards that Ah Sin had been hiding, In the game “'he did not understand.” In his sleeves, which were long, He had twenty-four packs,— Which was coining it strong, Yet I state but the facts; And we found on his nails, which were taper, What is frequent in tapers,—that's wax. Which is why I remark, And my language is plain, That for ways that are dark, And for tricks tbatara vain, iho heathen Chinee is peculiar,— U hich the same 1 am free to maintain. 117 xbe AVid^t of Al&rrns. IT MBBOT BABB ("him: PHABP.") CHAPTER VIII. [continued.! Meanwhile, Yates had made Ms way into the kitchen, taking the precaution to shut the door after him. Kitty Bart lett looked quickly around ns the door shut Before she could speak, the young man caught her by the plump shoulders—a thing which he certainly had no right to do. “Misa Kitty Bartlett,” he said, “you’ve been crying.” “I haven't; and if I had, it is noth ing to you.” “Oh, I’m not so sure abcut that. Don’t deny it. For whom were you crying? The professor?” “No, nor for you either, although I suppose you have conceit enough to think so.” “Me conceited? Anything but that. Come now. Kitty, for whom were you crying? I must know.” “Please let me go, Mr. Yatea," said Kitty, with an effort at dignity. “Dick is my name, Kit" “WeU, mine is not Kit” 1 “You’re quite right. Now that you mention It, I will call you Kitty, which is much prettier than the abbrevia tion.” "I did not ‘mention IL* Please let mega Nobody has the right to call me anything but Miss Bartlett; that Is, you haven't, anyhow.” “Well, Kitty, don’t yon think It is about time to give somebody the right? Why won’t you look up at me, so that 1 can tell for sure whether I should have accused you of crying? Look up —Miss Bartlett" “Please let me go, Mr. Yatea Moth er will be here In a minute.” “Mother is a wise and thoughtful woman. We’U risk mother. Besides, I'm not In the least sfraid of her, and I don’t believe you are. jl think she Is at this moment giv ing poor Mr. Stollker a piece of her I mind; otherwise, I imagine, he would have followed me. I saw It in his eye.” “I hate that man,” said Kitty, incon- jscquently. “I like him because he brought me here, even if I was handcuffed. Kitty, why don't you look up at me? Are you afraid?” “What should I be afraid of?” asked Kitty, giving him one swift glancs from her pretty blue eyes "Not of yon, I hope." “WeU, Kitty, 1 sincerely hop* not. Now, Miss Bartlett, do yon know why 1 came out hers?" “For something mors to ««»L very likely,” said the girl, mUehleronslg. “Now, Mias Kitty, that, to a maa 1m "vptl rity, Is both orual mid ankiad. Baades, I had a Brat-rats breakfast, thank you. No soah motive drew see j into the kitchen. Bat I will MU you. You Shell have it horn ingown lips. That Was the reason. ” I Be suited the action to the word, and hissed her before she knew what was about to happen. At least Yates, with all his experience, thought he had taken her unawares. Men often make mistakes In little matters of this kind. Kitty pushed him with apparent indignation from her, but she did not strike him across the face aa she had done before when ho merely attempted what he had now accomplished. Perhaps this was because she had been taken so com pletely by surprise. ; "I shall call my mother," the threat ened. “Oh, no, you won't. Besides, she wouldn’t come.” Then Hds frivolous young man began to sing In a Tow voice jthe flippant refrain: “Here’s to the girl that gets a kiss and runs and tells her mother,” ending with the wish that she should live and die an old maid and never get another. Kitty should not have smiled, but she did; she should have rebuked his levity, but she didn't. “It Is about Uie great and disastrous living sad dylpff » n oio maw mat i want to speax to you. I have a plan for the prevention of such a catastrophe, and I would like to get your approval of It.” Yates had released the girl, partly because she had wrenched herself away from him and partly because he heard a movement In the dining-room and expected the entrance of Htollker or some of the others. Miss Kitty stood with her back to the table, her eyes fixed on a spring flower, which she had unconsciously taken from a vase stand ing on the window ledge. She smoothed the petals this wav and that, and seemed so Interested In botanical Investigation that Yates wondered whether she was paying attention to what he was saying or not. What his plan might have been can only be guessed, for the fates ordained that they should be interrupted at this critical moment by the one person on earth who could make Yates' tongue falter. The outer door to the kitchen burst open and Margaret Howard stood on the threshold, her lovely face aflagie with indignation, and her dark hair down over her shoulders, forming a picture of loveliness that fairly took Yates’ breath -away. She did not no tice him. “Oh, Kitty!” she cried, “thoee wretches have stolen all oar horses, is your father here?" “What wretches?" asked Kitty, ig- norlag the question, and startled by tho sudden advent of her friend. “The Fenians They have taken all the horses that were in the fields, and your horses as well. So I ran over to tell you.” “Have they taken your own horse, too?" "No. 1 always keep Gypsy In the stablo. The thieves did not come near the house. Oh, Mr. Yates!—I did not see you.” And Margaret's hand, with the unconscious vanity of a woman, sought her disheveled hair, which Yates thought too becoming ever to be put in order again. Margaret reddened as she realized from Kitty’s evident embarrassment that she had Impulsively broken in upon a conference of two. “I must tell your father about it," she said, hurriedly, and before Yates could open the door sho had done so for herself. Again she was taken aback to see so many sitting round the table. There was a moment’s silence be tween the two in the kitchen, but the spell was broken. “I—I don’t suppose there will be any trouble about getting back the horses,” said Yates, hesitatingly. "If you lose them the government will have to pay.” “I presume so," answered Kitty, coldly; then: “Excuse me, Mr. Yates; I mustn’t stay hero any longer.” Ho But 1 give you talr warning mat u you attempt to put a handcuff on my wrist again I will smash you." A cry of terror from one of the girls at the prospect of a fight caused the professor to realize where he was. He turned to them and said, in a contrite voice: “Oh! I forgot you were here. I sin cerely beg your pardon.” Margaret, with blazing eyes, cried: “Don’t beg my pardon, but—smash him." Then a consciousness of what she had | said overcame her, and the excited girl hid her blnshing face on her friend’s shoulder, while Kitty lovingly stroked her dark tangled hair. Renmark took a step towards them teers ana earn to mm. “You are to make your way across country to Welland and deliver these men up to the Jailer there. They will he handcuffed together, but you take a revolver with you, and if they give you any trouble, shoot them.” The volunteer reddened and drew himself up. “I am not a policeman,’ he said. “I am a soldier.” “Very well, then, your first duty as a soldier is to Obey orders I order you to take these men to Welland.” Tho volunteers had crowded around as this discussion went on, and a mur mur rose among them at the order of the officer. They evidently sympa thized with their comrade's objection to the duties of a policeman. One of and s*opped. Yates, with his usual them made his way through the crowd nuickne&s, came to the rescue, and hii and cried: cheery voice relieved the tension of the situation; “Come, come, Stoliker, don't be an idiot. I do not object in the least to the handcuffs, and, if you are dying to handcuff somebody, handcuff me. It hasn't struck your luminous mind that you have not the first tithe of evidence against my friend, and that even if I were the greatest criminal in America the fact of his being with me is no crime. The truth is, Stoliker, that I wouldn't be In your shoes for a good many dollars. You talk a great deal about doing your duty, but you have exceeded it in tho case of the professor. I hope you have no property, for the professor can, if he likes, make you pay sweetly for putting the handcuffs on him without a warrant or even without one Jot ot evidence. v> nai is me pen fc ally for false arrest, Hiram?” continued Yates, suddenly appealing to the old man. “I think it Is a thousand dollars.” Hiram said gloomily that he didn't know. Stoliker was hit on a tender spot, for he owned a farm. “Better apologize to the professor and let us get along—Good-by, all— Airs. Bartlett, that breakfast was the very best I ever tasted.” The woman smiled and shook hands with him. “Good-by, Mr. Yates; and I hope you will soon come back to have another.” Stoliker slipped the handcuffs into his pocket again and mounted his horse. The girls from the veranda watched the procession move up the dusty road They were silent, and had even forgotten the exciting event of the stealing of the horses. TOU VE BEES saying, she followed Margaret Into the other room. Yates drew a long breath of relief. All his old difficulties of prefertmee had arisen when the outer door burst open. He felt that ho had had a narrow es cape, and began to wonder if he had really committed himself. Then the fear swept over him that Margaret might have noticed her friend’s evident confusion and surmised its cause. He wondered whether this would help him or hurt him with Margaret if he finally made up his mind to favor her with his serious attentions. Still, he reflected that, after all, they were both country girls and would no doubt be only too eager to accept c, chance to live in New York. Thus his mind gradually re sumed its normal state of self-confi dence, and he argued that whatever Margaret’s suspicions were, they could not but make him more precious in her eyes. Ho knew of instances where the very danger of losing a man had turned a woman's wavering mind entirely in the man's favor. When he had reached this point, the door from the dining room opened, end Stoliker appeared. “We are waiting for you,” said the constable. “All right. I am ready.” As he entered the room he saw the two girls standing together talking earnestlv. ••don’t beg HT PARDOS, HIM." BUT—SMASH -1 wisn i was a consiamo tor twenty- four hours," cried Mrs. Bartlett. "I would be hunting horse-thieves, In stead of handcufling innocent men.” “Come along,” said the impassive Stoliker, taking the handcuffs from his pocket. “It you three men," continued Mrs. Bartlett, "cannot take those two to camp, or to jail, or anywhere else, without handcuffing them. I’ll go along with you myself and protect you and see that they don't escape. You ought to be ashamed 1 of yourself, Sam Stollk- er, if you have any manhood about you —which I doubt." "I must do my duty.” The professor rose from his chair. “Mr. Stoliker," he said, with determin ation, “mv friend and myself will go with you quietly. We will make no attempt to escape, as we have done nothing to make us tew investigay w. CHAPTER IX When the two prisoners with their three captors came in sight of the Can adian volunteers they beheld a scene which was much more military than the Fenian camp. They were prompt ly halted and questioned by a picket before coming to the main body, and the sentry knew enough not to shoot until he had asked for the countersign. Passing the picket, they came in full view of the Canadian force, the men of which looked very spick and span in uniforms which seemed painfully new in the clear light ofthefairJune morning. The guns, topped by a bristle of bay onets that glittered as the rising sun shone on them, were stacked with neat precision here and there. The men were preparing their breakfast, and a temporary halt had been called for that purpose. Tho volunteers were scattered by the side of the road and in the fields. Renmark recognized the colors of the regiment from his own city, and noticed that there was with it a company that was strange to him. Although led to them a prisoner, he felt a glowing pride in the regiment and their trim appearance, a pride that was both national and civic. He in stinctively held himself more erect as he approached. “Renmark,” said Yates, looking at him with a smile, “you are making a thoroughly British mistake.” “What do you mean? I haven’t spoken.” "No, but I see It in yonr eye. You are underestimating the enemy. You think this pretty company is going to walk over that body of unkempt tramps we saw in the woods this morn ing.” “I do, indeed, if the tramps wait to be walked over—which I very much doubt.” “That's Just, where you make the mistake. Most of these are raw boys, who know all that can be learned of war on a cricket-field. They will be the worst-whipped set of young fellows before night that this part of the coun try has ever seen. Wait till they one of their comrades fall with blood gushing out of a wound w ds breast. If they don’t turn and ru then I’m a Dutchman. I've seen rai\ recruits before. They should hsve a company of older men here who hare seen service, to steady them. The fel lows we saw this morning were sleep ing like logs In the damp woods, as we stepped over them. They are veterans. What will be but a mere skirmish to them will seem to those boys the most awful tragedy that ever happened.” ' Some of the volunteers crowded around the Incomers, eagerly inquiring for news of the enemy. The Fenians had taken the precaution to cut off all the telegraph wires leading out of Fort Erie, and hence those in command of the companies did not even know that the Fenians had left the locality. They were now on their way to a point where they were to meet Col. Pea- coeke's force of regulars—a point which they were destined never to reach. Stoliker sought an officer and delivered up his prisoners, together with the In criminating paper that . Yates hod landed to him. The officer’s decision was short and sharp, as military decis ions are generally supposed to be. He ordered the constable to take both of the prisoners and put them in jail at Port Col borne. There was no time now for an Inquiry into the case; that could come afterwards; and as long as the men were safe In Jail everything would be all right To this the constable mildly Interposed two objections. In the first place, he said, he was with tho volunteers, not In his capacity as con stable, bnt In the position of guide anil man who knew the country. In the sec ond place, there was no Jail at Port Colborne. “WTiere is the nearest jail?" “The jail of the county Is at Welland, the county town," replied the consta ble. “Very well; take them there.” "But I am here aa guide,” repeated Stoliker. The officer hesitated for a moment “Yon haven’t handcuffs with you, I “Hello! This is the professor. This is Mr. Renmark. He's no Fenian." Two or three more of the university students recognized Renmark, and, pushing up to him, greeted him warm ly. He was evidently a favorite with his class. Among others young How ard pressed forward. "It Is nonsense," he cried, “talking about sending I’rof. Renmark to jail. He is no more a Fenian than Gov. Gen. Monck. We’U all go bail for the pro fessor." The officer wavered. “If you know him,” he said, “that is a different mat ter. But this other man has a letter from the commander of the Fenians recommending him to the consideration r 'f all friends of the Fenian cause. I can't let him go free." "Are you the chief in command here?" asked Renmark. "No, I am not." “Mr. Yates is a friend of mine who is here with me on his vacation. He is a New York journalist, and has nothing in common with the invaders. If you Insist on sending him to Welland I must demand that we lie taken before the officer in command. In any case he and I stand or fall together. I am ex actly as guilty or innocent as he is.” “We can’t bother the colonel about every triviality.” “A man's liberty is no triviality. What in the name of common sense are you fighting for but for liberty?” “Thanks, Renmark, thanks,” said Yates, “but I don't care to see the colonel, and I shall welcome Welland jail. I am tired of all this bother. 1 came here for rest and quiet, and I am going to have them if I have to go to jail for them. I’m coming re luctantly to the belief that jail’s the most comfortable place in Canada, any how." “But this is an outrage," cried tho professor, indignantly. “Of course it is,” replied Yates, wearily; ‘but the woods are full of them. There’s always outrages going on, especially in so-called free coun tries; therefore one more or less won't make much difference. Come, officer, who's going to take me to Welland? or shall I have to go by myself? I’m a Fen- that way! But he seemed to rather like the idea. Jolly fellow, I should say. But I wish I had known you wire in this neighborhood. My folks live near here. They would only have been too glad to bo of assistance to you.” ‘'They have been of assistance to me, and exceedingly kind as weU.” “What? You know them? All of them? Have you met Margaret?” “Yes," said the professor, slowly, but his glance fell as it encountered the eager eyes of the youth. It was evi dent that Margaret was the brother’s favorite. ■ “Fall back, there," cried the officer to Renmark. “May I march along with them? or can you give me a gnu and let me take part?" “No,” said the officer, with some hau teur; "this is no place for civilians" Again the professor smiled, as he re flected that the whole company, as far as martial experience went, were merely civilians dressed in uniform, and he became grave again when he remembered Yates’ ominous prediction regarding them. “I say, Mr. Renmark," cried young Howard, as the company moved off, “if you see any of them don't tell them I'm here — especially Margaret. It might make them uneasy. I ll get leave when this is over and drop in on them.” The boy spoke with the hopeful con fidence of youth, and had evidently no uremonition of how his uoDointment would be kept. Renmark left the road and struck across country for the tent, which he reached without further molestation, finding it as he had left It [TO UK CONTINUED.J Blood Poison THE BANE OF HUMAN LIFE, Driven Out of the System by the Use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla "For five years, I was a greatrOj si'ifcrer from a most persistent biood disease, none of the various 0 ; medicines 1 took being of any s help whatever.

How far is it across country?" Stoliker told him. The officer caUed one of the volun- “WHERE is the nearest jail?” Ian from 'way back, and came here espe cially to overturn the throne and take it home with me. For heaven's sake know your own mind one way or other, and let us end this conference.” The officer was wroth. He speedily gave the order to Stoliker to handcuff the prisoner to himself and deliver him to the Jailer at Welland. “But I want assistance," objected Stoliker. “The prisoner is a bigger man than I am.'' The volunteers laughed as Stoliker mentioned this self-evident fact. “If anyone likes to go with you he can go. I ahull give no orders.” No one volunteered to accompany the constable. “Take th's revolver with you,” con tinued the officer, “and if he attempts to escape shoot him. Besides, you know the way to Welland, so I can’t send anybody in your place, even if I wanted to.” “Howard knows the way,” persisted Stoliker. That young man spoke np with great indignation: “Yes, but Howard Isn't constable, and Stoliker is. I’m not going.” Renmark went up to his friend. “Who's acting foolishly now, Yates?” he said. “Why don't you Insist on see ing the colonel? The chances are ten to one that you would be allowed off.” “Don't make any mistake. The colonel will likely be some fussy Indi vidual who magnifies hio own' im portance and who will send a squad of volunteers to escort me, and I want to avoid that. These officers always stick by each other; they’re bound to. I want to go alone with Stoliker. I have a score to settle with him.” "Now, don’t do anything rash. You've done nothing so far, but if you assault an officer of the law that will be a different mutt; r.” “Satan reproving sin. Who prevent ed you from hitting Stoliker a short time since?” "WeU, I was wrong then. You ere wrong now." “See hero, Renny," whispered Yates, “you get back to the tent and see that everything's all right. I’ll be with you in an hour or so. Don’t look so fright ened. I won't hurt Stoliker. Bnt I want to see this fight, and I won’t get there if the colonel sends an escort. I'm going to use Stoliker as a shield when the bullets begin flying." Tho bugles sounded for the troops to fall In, and Stoliker very reluctantly attached one clasp of the handcuff around his own left wrist while hf snapped the other on the right wrist oi Yates, who embarrassed him with kindly assistance. The two manacled men disappeared down tho road, while the volunteers rapidly fell in to con tinue their morning's march. Young Howard beckoned to the pro fessor from his place in the ranks. “I say, professor, how did you happen to bo down this way?” “I have been camping out here for a week or more with Yates, who U an old school-fellow of mine.” “What a shame to have him led off in A.
