ifHOW THE PROPERTY ii ,

When the Yankees took tin? torts
that Hncd Port I'.oyal harbor wo on
our plantation, ton mile: front P.eaufort,

ruslied pclhncll from the house. No

of Jewelry or .silverw are.
At nightfall we reached t'oionel Wiggins*
plantation an I Were . .? tired that
we could go no farther. The colonel
kindly to ?k us in and sent several of '
his colored men. on whom lie eoukl da
pend. back to v/at 'i 1 lie ma !i unci give 1
us warning if the Yankee< \ civ coin

the roll and found all wore present
except Kathleen O'iiourke. Kathleen
was mother's innli!. IIow she had
drifted front Ireland to South Carolina |
no one knew. Mother pieked Iter tip in ,
Charleston and, taking a fancy to her. ,
ptit ln r quadroon maid Into the kitchen
and installed Kathleen in her place. ]
We stayed at Colonel Wiggins' a ,
week, and since the Yankees did not ]
follow us our fright gradually left us ,
and we I egan to think that we h id
acted unwi ;c!y In not slaying 011 the |
plantation and trying to protect our ;
property. I proposed t ? return and si e .
how things were going, but mother
would not hear of it. She said thai no j
daughter of hers should place hero if '
in n podiion to be insulted bv north- i
ern vandal*. However. I determined t
to go and one morning stole away on s
my little mare. , I
When I reached the house 1 saw ofli- s
cers coming and going, while a sentinel ?
paced before the front door. In the t
cut ton field across the road wore liun- 'J
dreds of white tents. I was going in? I
to our own home. mind you?when the '
detestable seutinel blocked the way. I '
asked to see the officer in conunand, h
and lie called. "Orderly!" A soldier np- "
peared and said the staff were at din x
ner. Walking Into the hall through an 1
open door. I saw linlf a dozen officers s
seated around a ttilde, and to my as ''
tonishiuent who should he at one end v
but Kathleen. She saw nie and in another
moment joined me.
"Oh. Miss t'aniilla." sin- >aid. tall hit: '
on my neck in order that she might
whisper iti my ear. "what'll Oi do? *
Oi've been tolliu' 'em that Oi'm the j
daughter o* the house?that Oi'm you!
oi've held on to all the Jewelry and all
the silver and"?
(A
The officers, having finished their
meal, rose from the table itnd came
into the hall. "
"General," said Kathleen, "this is mo
maid that has eonie back to be with
me again."
Did you ever hear of such impu- '
denee? My ancestors have lived so
long in the soutli that tu.v skin is. I }i
admit, dark enough for an octoroon, j
but for tliis fair skinned Irish girl to f
introduce me as her maid-I thought I j
should faint. However, what she bad (
told me about the jewels and (lie silver (J
restrained me. and I fell ill with her j
plan. The officers on seeing me were >
about to greet me deferentially, hut |
on hearing Kathleen's story they pass- ;1
?*d on without a word. t
Well, it dawned upon me that Kalli- t
leen was a very bright girl and had t
acted very bravely, she had told the j
officers that she had been educated i
abroad, in order to account for her !
accent. She was wearing my host
clothes and I confess looked very pret- 1
ty and stylish as well. 1 remained in
the house as her maid and was greatly :l
amused by the way she had got half a '
dozen men by the ears. The general %
was in love with her. and. since hl'i
authority was supreme, at least in this ^
locality, everything in the house was 1
perfectly safe. :I
But while a servant hail a general '
for Iter slave I had only a captain. >
Louis Whitten. an aid-de-eanip. was
attracted to me from the moment lie v
saw me. Supposing me to have negro I
hlood in my veins, he sought me only
clandestinely. I confess that the hap ^
piest moments in my life were in *
watching him suffer, ihinking he loved 11
one whom lie must not marry. I told
him to go and make love to my mistress,
but it was I he wanted, and the I'
gulf between us hid fair to drive hint t
crazy. At tlrst I augmented his torture,
but at last, becoming myself as deeply 1
in love with him as lie was with me, t
I was pained to sec hiui suffer. n
For months we were obliged to keep .i
llik o iln/'tuitinn tvhlnli L' ol Mn/m 1'
commenced. We were afraid that If we
confessed the protection afforded by
the good will of the general would be
withdrawn and the property given over v
to bo plundered. When the Federal ''
troops went up to tight at I'ocotaligo
those in our neighborhood went with
them. The evening before they march- 11
ed i told Kathleen that I would make 11
my true self known to Captain Whit- ^
ten. Kathleen made the confession '!
herself. The look of relief on his face 11
when 1 saw hint again was replaced by
one of auxiety to know bis fate. I "
atoned for the torture 1 had inflicted "
upon lit in by giving him what be called j'
the one great happiness of bis life.
As soon as the troops wore gone 11
Kathleen and I took everything of value
that could be n.orcd to Colonel
Wiggins, but it was not necessary, for j'
the Federal troops never returned to .
that locality. I did not see Captain ^
Whltten again till the war had ended,
when he came to eia'in me.
Kathleen had the good sense to de- '
rlino n proposal froio the general and j(
afterward married a sergeant in the ^
Confederate army.

j jj A Game of Bluff J
(Original.]
I was (it work in my ollice one day
when I received a visit from a handsome.
dashing looking fellow, dressed in
ilie* height of fashion, about thirty years
oiJ, whom I had never seeu before.
When naked what I eoukl do for him
lie said that he wished mo to bring
suit against a wealthy young widow
for $50,000 for breach of promise of
marriage. Mrs. Fanny Blssoll was
twenty live years old. rich, vivacious,
pretty and a desperate flirt. Hamilton,
my client, had met her during the summer.
Ho found her a notorious coquette
who did not scruple to engage
iiuim'h iu u uw.cn lovers ut one nine.
"It occurred to tue," lie said, "to
punish her for such nefarious practices.
It's not money I want. I've got
all of it I need. Nevertheless I wish
you to bring suit for $.".o,O00."
I I took the case, hut before proceeding
h'gaily made inquiries about the
principals. 1 learned that all the plain- !
tiff had said about the defeudaut was
true. I also found that Jack Hamilton,
as his friends called him. had no better
reputation in such matters than the
! woman he accused of lacerating his
heart strings. I sent a polite note to
Mrs. ltisseil making the demand on
behalf of my client, and she came to
my office to see me. She was, or pre |
tended to lie, highly indignant with
Hamilton, averring that she hardly re- I
; meinhcrod him, hut she tried to liiul
out from rae what evidence he possessed
In the shape of letters. Hamilton
had confessed to me that he had
not a scrap of written evidence, but
expected me to make a bluff, aud he
would not hiaiue me In case of defeat.
1 therefore informed her that I could
not give her any information as to my
client's side of the case?hut she would,
of course, remember what she had
written Mr. Hamilton. U'ith charming
iciivete and a lugubrious smile, she
admitted that she hart said and written ,
a great many fo dish tiling; during the
summer, and it would not he possible
to say just what she had written any |
special admirer.
"Well." she said at the end of the interview,
"I suppose 1 shall have to pay
something. Must 1 pay It all?"
"Why not retain eounsel and put in
a defense?"
"Oh, dear. 110! Have everybody
laughing ^t nie? Not by any means!
I'd rathoAiay it -ill."
"Supp >*9 you make an offer."
'fell him I'll pay half."
She had scarcely left my office when
Hamilton came into It. When I told
liiin that the lady would settle out of
i?f t\nv!nrr AAA ? l/^l- rtlonn.
.r_. 1V,?IV wi uiomr- I
pointmeut crossed his face. I asked |
him if he didn't think the amount
enough, and lie replied it was equivalent
to paying $2n,UOO rather than marry
him.
"I suppose," he added lugubriously,
'4sh<' thinks she's getting off cheap.
Tell her that her offer is not accepted."
It was plain that money had nothing
to do with the ease?at least so far us j
my client was concerned?so I gave no j
advice, confining myself to obeying or- j
dors. Transmitting the refusal to the
defendant. I received by way of reply
an offer of $30,00(1. This was declined,
and the amount offered was raised $5,Obo
at a tiiue till the full amount claimi-d
was reached, when Hamilton directed
me to add a demand of $.r?,000 for j
counsel fees. 1 demurred at making !
such a charge, but lie insisted, and I !
made the demand of Mrs. Hissed. She
| agreed to pay it. and I supposed the j
1 ease was closed, hut Hamilton demanded
a written apology for trilling with
his affections.
This demand was indignantly declined.
Then Hamilton directed me to
say to Mrs. Biased that if she would
meet him at my office and in my presence
say that she regretted her flirtations
with other uien he would drop
the ease without the payment of any
money whatever. To this, after a long
delay, the widow assented.
1 The meeting was to take place at 3
o'clock on a certain afternoon. Hamilton
asked me to stay away from my
office at the hour the lady was expected?that
is, to he late in coining. I left
directions that when either of the two
arrived l.j or she was to be shown into
my private office. I arrived at half
past 3. Hamilton and Mrs. BIs}u..ii

with each other that they (litl not
notion my coming. Indeed, they were
clasped in eaoli other's arms. I coughe<l
to make them aware of my presence;
they started and Hamilton came
forward.
"You have won the ease I wanted to
win," he said, "and I will now explain.
Having been one of a number of those
with whom the defendant in this case
hud trifled I determined to withdraw
without proceeding to a climax and
sue for damages. 1 had no ease, for
Mrs. Bissell had never promised to bo
my wife. Indeed, I had never asked j
her. But she had promised so many 1
that when I brought my bluff suit she
naturally supposed I was one of her
accepted suitors. If I haw not punished
her I have at least taken away
the opportunity for her to do any more
damage."
"Perhaps I may be allowed a word
of explanation," said the blushing lady.
"When the fumous Jack Hamilton
came among us?famous for his escapades
and conquests?all the women
said that if I had a game to play ho
would play me a more desperate one.
Hut I made up my mind I would land
him and I've done it."
"Having heard both your stories," I
replied, "I have to Inform you that you
are as graceless a pair of scamps us I
ever met. However, I am glad to have
been instrumental in tying you up and
keeping you from doing any further
damage." ARTHUR D. BERWICK, j

General Dragoiniroff, the Russian
military expert, rose from the ranks
and always dressed according to the
army regulations for the common soldier.
One day while driving about St.
Petersburg In his carriage he noticed
a soldier with hair longer than the rog- j
illations called for. He had the horses
stopped, alighted and, taking off his i
hat, ordered the soldier to seize hiiu
by the hair. The soldier hesitated. He
feared to lay violent hands on his general;
besides, tiie hair was clipped too.
close to afford a hold for the hands.
The general surveyed the soldier sternly
for a few moments, then, twining
his fingers in the latter's locks, lie literally
wiped up the street with him,
the victim not daring to resist. Final- j
ly, having impressed the lesson tlior- I
oughiy, ho re-entered his carriage and
drove on, ordering the soldier to fol- j
low. At the first barber's shop they
came to lie again alighted and had every
vestige of lialr shaved from the
soldier's head, then turned him loose
as a horrible example to his fellows.

Some very tine binding was executed
for King James I., who during his en
tiro life was an enthusiastic patron of
letters and art. In sftnie of his books
the thistle is introduced with heavy
corner pieces, and the arms In the center.
One fine piece of work, now in the
British museum, is in bright brown
calf, powdered with llower-de-luce.
Another folio in crimson velvet has the
arms of England embroidered on both
sides with gold thread on a groundwork
of yellow silk. The king's initials
are worked above. The lettering is in
leather, and the boards are tied together
by red ribbon, constituting a
regal book in every particular. John

In England, were appointed to be the
king's binders, lint there is little trace
of their work now extant.

Mexico has an ingenious plan for facilitating
verdicts in jury trials. Two
supernumerary Jurors are drawn to
sit near the jury box and listen to the
evidence and arguments. If any of the
regular jury falls ill or Is otherwise

"supes" takes his place. In this way
