f t Louis. May 29.—A pall of gloom and tfeath hangs over the Mound City. Thlrty-•ix hoa r s have sca r re been sufficient to br ing Its people to a rvallzatlon of the hor-ror with which It h a s been visited, EIM t h « r *re yet dased onJ stupefied. Save for t h« fitful glare of t he gas Jets In the wliv-
of the saloons and rcs turunts , and the • iMtrlc l ights of the few hotels and othor coDoems t h a t operate their own platitat tb« snUre d t y to still In darkness . In t he deWata ted district the search for the dead burled in t he ruins is being carried on wi th t he aid of torches and locomotive head-lights. Detai ls of police keep the crowds a t a distance, while the a i r is filled with the abrleks a s d sobs and hysterical lamenta-t ions of t he bereave'! Ever and anon the d a o g i n g ot a gong is heard in the distanoa, and vehicles and street ca r s come to a stop while an ambulance dashes by to add one more vict im to t h e record of the dead a t MM or ano ther of t he sot tempo rUed morgues. The s t ree ts In the center of the elty, usually active with pedestrians until midnight, are deserted, save for those whose avocations keep them from their famil ies or friends, while the summer ga r -dens and other points of enter tainment a r e ba re of patrona. Grief, mourning and • tupefac t ion have t aken poesession of t he «lty.
On the other side of t he river, In Wast S t Louis, DL, where t he elements gathered themselves together for a supreme effort toward destruct ion of life and property, t h e la tes t reports place the total of dea ths end missing a t 206 and the Injured a t 71.

Almost a reign of t e r ror prevails in Bast B t Louis. Save fo r a tug and a few row-boats , placed at the service of officials, physicians, newspaper men and others whose duties called them to the scene, the place h a s been out off f rom communication with this elty since Wednbsday n i g h t a

DltmMom on the River. The track of the s torm across the river
was practically the same as tha t of the great storm of August 4,1878. The trend of the main volume of wind was f rom south-west to northeast, leaving the Missouri shore at the center of the southern half of this d t y and str iking the niinois shore in a pnth whoso northern edge was t^e Eads bridge and extending south three- four ths of a mile Within th is path were moored O s teamers large and small. The storm fell so suddenly tha t none of the vessels were prepared. In all ten large passenger s teamers, five ferryboats , two t r ans fe r boats, two tugboats and half a dozen small t leasure barges were driven to the opposite shore or sunk o u t r i g h t

His Lip Gone. M. M. Nicholson, who l ives at t h e
corner of Carran and A n d e n o n S u . . At-lanta, Ga., had a cancer for years. I t first appeared on his l ip and resem-bled a f tver blister, but spread rapidly and soon began t o destrov the flesh. His fa ther and a n c l e had died from Cancer, and he sought the best medical aid in different cities, but it seemed im-possible t o check t h e disease. Several operations were performed but the can-cer always returned. This continued for years unt i l t he part i t ion in h is nose
and his ent i re up-per Up were eaten away. All treat-ment having proved fut i le , he looked upon dea th as the on ly relief.
" S o m e one re-commended S .S .S . "
e a a y s , " a n d few bottles afford-1 some relief; thus
encouraged I con-t i n n e d i t , a n d i t was not long be-fore t h e progress ol t he disease seem-
ed checked. I persevered in its nse, and remarkable as i t may seem, I am completely cured, and feel l ike I have new life. S.S.S. is t he most re-markab le remedy in t h e world, and everyone will agree t ha t t h e cure was a wonderful one . "

Be Seemed to Be Sleepy, Tet Be Provided Entertainment For Those Present Until the Boat Arrived, and Then Ba Weal
Aboard and Disappeared.
H e was a f a t Qerman. He looked as If be might be a prosperous saloon keep-er. B e isignaliBed his entrance into the Cortlandt Street ferry house by a series of loud meows which sounded so na tura l tha t the half hundred people who were wai t ing for tbe boat looked around for the cat*. Tho f a t man was under the weather. H e strolled over to the steam radiator iu the center of tho room, and in a couple of minutes voices were heard. Firs t they were in the northeast corner of the room up near the ceiling. Some one u p there seemed to be carrying on an animated conversation wi th h im-self. I t waa p la in tha t t he some one was a German.
" C h a k e y , " sa id the voice, " v o d your vife vi l l say do you alret ty , ha? Too roa one t am fool k 'vick y e t . "
The women iu the fer ry bouse began to look nervous. They gaeed a t the ceiling a t t he spot f rom where the voice seem-ed to oome. The men were looking there too. Tho f a t German stood by tho radi-ator, his head over h is breast, and teem-ed t o be sound a s l eep
" F i r e ! F i r e I F i r e ! " cried a voice in the southwest corner.
Everybody jumped u p T h e women grabbed the a r m s of the i r eeoorts. The fat German s t i l l slept, and tbe voice sounded again, th i s t i m e seemingly f r o m tbe pla t form of an automat ic weighing machine.
"Chakey , you vos a p ru t e ! Vod for you vand der ladies do sgare vod? I bunch your nose a l r e t t y . "
This was somewhat reassuring. Ev-erybody seemed t o realise at the same instant t ha t there was a ventr i loquist w i th a big range of voice around some-where, and everybody looked a t tbe German. H e seemed st i l l to be asleep. B u t in a moment he moved uneasily. Tb«n he l i f ted the ragged s tump of a c igar be bad In his band, opened his eyes sleepily and pot tbe s t u m p in to h i s mouth- Some fire was lef t in t be c igar s tump, but he d i d n ' t seem t o no-t ice i t H e munched on the but t a s if i t we re a sweet morse l Everybody was watching h im. He chewed perhaps a minute. Then b e swallowed the s tump, and the next ins tant pul led a new cigar out of h is ear , b i t off t he end and l ight-ed i t
" I no pny c igara , " b e said. M I ma ig d e m . "
The crowd was migh t i ly interestied and gathered close around. He d i d n ' t seem to l ike tha t , and he enor ted:
"Vod yon dink, yon vools beoblef Gauze I maig a cigar yon d ink I vos a voo l I c c m a l g i d . " Saying which be p u t t be f resh cigar, l ighted as i t was, back Into b i s ear . H e seemed t o shove i t ont of s igh t and ca lmly took f r o m bis other ear t b e ragged bu t t tha t be bad b u t a moment before chewed u p and swallowed. H e pulled on it . I t w a s still lighted. One of b i s eyelids began t w i t c h i n g

jamin Harrison says in J u n e Ladie's Home Journal: "The papers In these

to have been fairly conducted, and no j new exculpatory evidence is produced, and the sentonce does nol seem to bavo
; been unduly severe, t he President re-1 fuses lo Interfere, He cannot weigh 1 the evidence as well as the judge aud ' j u ry . They saw and heard the wlt-| nesses, aud he has only a wri t ing be-
fore him. I t happens sometimes t ha t the wife or mother of the condemned man comes in person to plead for mercy and I know of no more t ry log o rdea l

There has been some complaint In tbe past regarding the work done on the various road districts under the path-mat-ters, some persons going co far ax to charge that work has been returned se done when, in fact, nothing had been done in the district. This year ths Highway Commissioner will insist that all returns, made by the pathmastera, be sworn to and then if crooked reports are made there can be a criminal prosecu-tion. If such has been the custom in some districts the quicker an example is made of some offender the better, for there is none too much accomplished when the work alloted to each road dis trict is faithfully done.

EUCFNt CABLE KILLED HIMSELE WED-NESDAY AFTERNOON.
DcHpondency K(ippn<ie(l to be the Cnime of Hla Kimh Act.
Eugene Cable, who kept the reatau-rant, corner Depot and Front streets, died at a little after 2 o'clock p. m. Wed« nesday, from the effecta of a dose of strychnine, administered by his own band.
I t was not quite 2 o'clock when he went Into Van Allen's drug store and asked for 10 cents worth of strychnine. He aaid he wanted It to kill rats. The drug was given him and regiatered in the uaual way, and be started out of tbe store. As be left be remarked "that the rals were eatiug things up, even the ice box."
When in front of the store. Cable called to A. J . Cook, and asked him to help bim home. At that time he began to get sick. When in front of the post office, O. Waterbury's carriage was brought into play and the man quickly driven home. En route. Dr. Logan was hailed, and he followed aa soon as ho could go to his office and get hla medi-cine cheat.
Arriving at tbe restaurant, Mr Cook and Mr Brooks took the aick man up stnira to the living rooms of tbe family, and got him Into bed. By this time he was in convulsions and suffering terri-bly. Dr. Logan soon arrived and gave what assistance he could. The man re-fused to tako medicine and kept his teeth tightly closed. The doctor then started for a stomach pump, but before be returned the man was dead.
I t Is supposed the cause of the sui-cide was despondency. Deceased bsd been trying to get work outside of his restaurant business, and just before din-ner was talking about the matter. Boarders at tbe place say that Cable was cheerful, at noon. Re waa a man re-spected by all who knew him. HecaTe here three years ago from Lowell and was employed at the car shops until lately vtben he went into tbe restaurant business corner D"pot and Front atreeis, the old Owl laundry building being fit-ted up throughout for him.
Deceased wan 45 years of ago and leaves a wife and two children. Mrs Cable says h»'r bush ind had been acting strangely for t>vo or three weeks past, and that hi 1 mind 'vas evidently affect-ed. It is reporte-l lit' had a package of tbe drug on hi•« person a week or two ago, and tbis might account for bim be-ing taken suddenly sick in the drug store. No drug was found in his clothes after death,—Jonia Sentinal.
Eugene Cable came to Lowell in 1879 aud his wife is a daughter of Mr and Mrs John McFarlin and sister of Mrs Geo. B. Speaker. He was a very pleasant man and baa many frienda here who sympa-thize with bis bereaved family.
Mt* Sylvester ffodgea,
An old and estffmed resident of Ver-gennes, died at the home of her aon. Fred L. Hodges, on the old homestead, Inst. Thursday morning. May 28th, from a cancer, at the advanced age of 81 yrs. 7 mos. and 11 days. The funeral was from the residence .Sunday, May 31st. and was largely attended, 87 teams be-ing in the concourse which followed h f r remains to their last resting place, bo-Hide her husband, in the Krum cemo tery.
Martha Gould Hodges was born in Danhy, N. Y., Oct. 17, 1814, and In Ju ly 1836 she was married to her life partner, Sylvester Hodges, and in November of that same year they arrived in Michigan settling below Ada. They came with Lewis Robinson from New York and were our very earliest settlers. In tbe spring of 1887 they came to Vergennea township and took up from the Hoven-ment the farm on which Ihe balance of their lives were spent, the patent for which, was signed by Franklyn Pierce, President. They assisted in the organi-zation of Ihe first Baptist church society organized in esatern Kent Co.. and the regular services of the society were held in tho "'Red school house," known now as the Yerkes district. On the organi-zation of the First Baptist church of Lowell, thia organization was abandon-ed. Back in New York she learned tbe trade of tailoress and for many years f.he waa the only person east of Grand Rapida who could make clothing and she was kept very busy. Seven child-ren were born to tbem,Henrietta Smith, whose husband. Amos M Smith, died in the war. died in 1887: Harriett White, wife of Amos S. White, died in 1885; James, who lives in Brooklyn, N. Y. ; Chester D., died In 1895; Ornn. died in 1880; Fied. who lives on tbe old home-stead and Frank, residing in Grand Rap-ids. She was a most lovable woman, all the older settlers holding her in high es-teem. while those who were intimately acqusinted as well as her children and grand children revere her memory.
C. V. Uanaon.
Many prominent Republicans through-oat the county are urging the nomina-tion of C. V. Ganson for Judge of Pro-bate by the County Convention.
Mr Ganson Is a member of tbe firm of Taggart. Wolcott & Ganson, one of tbe best known and most prominent law firms in Grand Rapids. He gained his elucation In the public schools of the state and at Michigan University. He was admitted to the bar a t Grand Rap-ids in 1879, and has ever-since been en-gaged in the active practice of bis pro-fession. For a short time he practiced at Big Rapids and there bocame city a t -torney. Iu 1885 bo returned to Grand Rapids to become a member of the pres-ent firm of Taggart, Wolcott & Oimson. In the eleven years during which he has been associated with that firm, Mi Gan-son has become known to tho profession and public of Kent County as an effi-cient lawyer and capable man of affairs. He is well grounded in the principles of his profession, active, energetic and painstaking in tbe performance of all duties falling to his Irt. He hss been a zealous working Republican, and while not heretofore an aspirant for honors at tbe hands of tbe party in this county, has done much service upon the party committees.
I t is claimed for Mr Ganson that he is peculiarly well qualified for the office of Probate Judge: that he poBseeses m a marked degree that experience, matur-ity of mind and soundness of Judgment which are such indispensable requisites to the proper discharge of the duties of that important office. He is now 39 years of age, with the record of an act-ive and successful practice in tbe law for 17 years.
The growth of business In the Probate Court is greatly increasing tbe conse-quence of the office of Probate Judge. I t ia of the utmost importance to the people of this county that the office be acceptably filled. Mr Ganson's friends rely with confidence upon his record as a sufflcient guaranty of his ability to discharge with great efficiency the du-ties of the poeition.

I t was during tbe riecond half of the rufh f;ir dinner in a restaurant near Washington market, where several tbou-naiids persons are f - l daily, when a grout clamor arose fur napkiiiH, and waiters rushed abont gathering up what few could lie found on the tables nnd distrib-uting these, and others were dispatch-ed to the laundry for more. Henry, the bnud waiter, wont around meantinie trying to pacify I lie people, who were angry and declaring that it was a shame tbiU tho bouse couldn't give a man a napkin to wipe his mouth with. Some customers fell back upon the time hou-ored enstom of the neighborhood and nsed the corners of tho tablecloths in lieu of the missing napkins.
" I t ' s a curious and au annoying mat-ter bow wo run ont of uapkius every little while," said Henry. "Yon might suppose that bocausQ they are laundered so frequently they disappear in the reg-ular way by wearing out, bat that is not true. Yon will seldom see napkins In a restaurant which show the effect of wear. They go because they are stolon. This is true uot only of such popular restaurants as tbis, but also of every rea-t inranl in th i j city. Who takes tbem I do uot know.

HIDING H E R DIAMONDS.
TakeaLeason From the Woman Who Pat Ucru la Uer Old Shoes.
A group of Wusbingtou women had been telling each other where tbey bid their treasures from possible thieves. One used her pillowcase, a second had a pocket on her stocking, anothor the lining of her picture hat, when a third said she always tucked things iu her old shoes.
"Then you want to take warning from the experience of a friend of mine ," said Mrs. Tarsney of Missouri. "She bad beautiful diamond rings, ornaments, earrings and othor articles, and when an epidemic of burglaries came along she took to biding her diamonds in her old-est shoes. One night she was awakened by burglars down stairs. She thought if they heard some one moving about they would take fright and run away with-out attempting to come up where she was. So bhe went to tho head of tbe stuiis, but the burglars kept uu and didn't mind bcr in the least. She hur-ried buok into her room, caught np tbe first articles that came bandy aud sent them over the balusters. After they had left her baud she was struck with horror to discover her old shoes bumping down the stairs, attended by a shower of her diamonds. Luckily the shoes did the work. Tho burglars didu't stop to inves-tigate, and the woman had strength enough to gather up her jewels, all of which she found except one earring. The next day tbe maids bad to sweep tbe entire floor to discover that. Bnt she doesn't use her old shoes as diamond safes since."—Philadelphia Press.
THE pain that some-times strikes a man at the most inoppor-tune moment is due to indigestion. It may come in the midst of a dinner and make the feast a mockery. It is a reminder that he may not eat what he chOoses, nor when he chooses,
r j mgm He is a Blave to tbe ® 0 weakness of his
•tomach. Frequently he doesn't even know whether the thing be eats is going to agree with him or noL. The things that please his palate most are often the worst tor him to eaL Even the simplest food is likely to cause him misery and sleeplcsa-ness. His Lrst trouble was very sl ight-very simple—very easy to cure. He ate •omcthin? indigestible aud il stuck some place in ms digestive system. He ate more thingB and they stuck. Part of his diges-tion stopped altogether—that is constipa-tion.
Constipation is so common that more than half the people In America are troub-led with it. It is so serious that nine-tenths of the sickness of the world la traceable directly to this common cause. A man's health and strength depend upon what be gets out of his food. Tms depends on his digestion. Constipation stops diges-tion. Anybody can see that The com-monest kind of common sense will tell you that When digestion stops, nutrition stops, and the whole body is thrown out of order.
The way to start digestion is to remove the obstruction. The way to do that Is to take Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They are a positive cure for constipation and its attendant ills — headaches, sour stom-ach, flatulence, dizziness, biliousness and "heartburn." They are very gentle in their action. They simplv assist nature. They give no violent wrencn to the system. They cause uo pain, nor griping, nor dis-comfort of any kind.

"Thoro's more thnn that to H. Torn, dcnr. nnd you might just ns well tell me first ns Inst. Hnan't lie been talking to you about this—tbis idiosyncrasy of his?"
Ludlow dropped into his chnh* with a groan. "I know Just bow it would be." be said; and then ho told bor what be could Fctnoniber of tbe conversation In which Rlngbrnnd had confcHsed bis In-ability to face danger and the bearing this would have upon bis relations with Hester and her family. "He said he waa going to try to tight it out with himself, nnd that if he failed we needn't bo sttrprised If he turned up miBslng. because he wouldn't have the face to say good-by. Now you know the whole of it, and why I huvou'tbeen borrowing any trouble about his disappearance. I concluded a t once that he'd made a miss-go of his fight and had decided that discretion waa the better par t of valor."
Mrs. Ludlow pursed up her lips and walked airily around to her place at the dinner-table. "Tom," she said, sinlhng serenely across the table nt bim, "I'm positively aahamed of you. Do you sup-pose for a moment tha t Hugh "would have stayed hero all this time making love to Hester when he knew all along that he wasn't going to have the cour-age to stand up for her when he got posterous things, and I don't know which Is the more rldiculoua—his ab-suridity in telling you, or yours in be-lieving him."
Ludlow fell back in his chair in an att i tude of helpless despair. "Helen, my dear, you'd make an angel weep: you would, indeed I What have I to do

with t t? How am I responsible for i t? Who made me the godfather to this chuckled-headed infant?"
"Please don't be tragic, Tom," she said, sweetly. •*It doesn't become you.' You know you aided and abetted him in this foolish notion, and then to think that you'd sit down calmly in the be-lief tha t he'd run away without saying a word! It 's too perfectly absurd for anything! What you should do in to telegraph everybody you con think of r ight away, and if you d o n t hear any-thing by to-morrow morning you ought to take the men and aeareh every foot of the mountain till you find him."
For reply he handed her the two mea-sages f rom McNairville and Dunbar, adding that he had questioned tbe con-ductor on his way home.
"Then you haven't been quite aa hard-hearted aa I thought you were. Can't you think of anyone else to tele-graph?"
"No." "Have you suspected the Bynuma of
having anything to do with i t ? " T d snspect them quickly enough I#
there were the slighteat grounds for a motive: bnt there isn't a shadow of rea-aon for thinking tha t they'd make war on Hugh."
"Perhaps not; only I thought they might have identified him in aome way with the Latimera."
Ludlow scouted the idea; and during the af l»fn«vm he instructed the mir..
-aOw . S. I... ' C tall 1. U. Jtl gathci- ut "The Laurels" early the following morning, prepared to make a thorough vearch for the miaaing man.
After n ipper the colonel's man came down with1 a note f rom Heater. Noth-ing hod been heard of Bingbrand, either a t ,tihe Craveua' house or in Dunt. bar, and t t e wri ter aaked if the search party had been arranged fo r the next day, adding - that the colonel and Henry wished to join i t Ludlow aeni-back word tha t he would be a t "TbAi Laurels" a t an early hour in the morn-Ing with ip many men . a s he could gathew, and Mrs. lAidlow wro te a post*1

as soon as the men were out of s ight Hester mounted and rode to Tre-garthen. The suspense of the previous (lay had been hard to endure, but i t bad been mixed with the hope t h a t nome of the means employed would bring news of n cheering nature. When her father and brother returned f rom tbeir fruitless errands, and she had road Ludlow's note, the girl began to realize in dread earnest what the pro-longed uncertainty meant for her. and she was glad enough to escape from the ordeal of another lonely day of wait-ing. Mrs. Ludlow saw her galloping down the road, and met her a t the door.
"Did the men get started before you left?" She inquired, put t ing hor arm around the girl 's waist and leading he r to the 000I sitting-room.
"Yes; they had planned to throw a line all the way across the mountain, moving It northward, so as to cover the whole plateau."
"They can hardly fall to find him; that is. if he still on the mountain," replied Mrs. Ludlow.
"Oh. yes, Helen, but jus t think of i t ~ this is the third day 1 They can scarce-ly hope to find him alive If any acci-dent hos happened." Hester's voice betrayed her emotion, and Mrs. Ludlow hastened to comfort her.
"You mustn ' t be discouraged, dear; it'll come out all r ight—I just feel tha t it will. All day yesterday I was jus t as blue as could be. bu t now I am sure we'll hear good news before long."
"I wish I could be; but I can't; and I've tried so hard. All night long 1 was haunted by the most dreadful pictures of him lying in some desolate place. Sometimes it seemed as if he were only wounded, but a t others his face was livid and ghastly. Oh, i t was terrible I"
"Poor dear!" said Mrs. Ludlow, sympathetically, "does it mean so much to you?"
Hester covered her face with her bands, and thb compassionate com-forter saW a tear trickle down one of the shapely fingers; "There, there, Hester, dear; don ' t cry: I know you can't talk about i t yet, not even to me."
The girl looked u p with her cheeks afiame. "And you know why I can'tt It* shameful to even think of such a th ingl"
"No, i t Isn't—not from my point of view; you must remember 1 know some things on tho other side, and if Hugh hasn ' t spoken it 's because he has been restrained by a nobler motive than most men could find a place for. Oh, you needn't hide your face again: Pm not going to do his wooing foi* him; youl l find he can do t h a t for himself, some day, and then he'll tell you all about ity"
Hester rose and crossed to the win-dow, commanding the view of the mountain, and Mrs. Ludlow went away to attend to her household duties. When she looked in an hour later, the girl was still s tanding a t the window, looking with wistful eyes at the forest-clad slopes of the great hills, as if seek-ing to read the secrct of the mystery on tho fa i r pages of the landscape. I t was a long weary day for the two wom-en. and in the afternoon Hester an-nounced her intention of re turning to "The Laurels."
"I shall hear sooner, if I go back," she said, in reply to Mra, Ludlow's ef-for t to detain her, "and the (lelay ia pitifully hard a t best."
"Shan't I have John get out the phaeton, so I can drive you up?"
"No," replied Hester, with her face averted. "I th ink It will be bet ter for me to go by myself. If—If i t should turn out as I four, I should want to be qnlte alone for awhlle.n
Mrs. Ludlow undemtood, and did not seek to change her plans; and a f t e r the girl- had disappeared in the windings of the: mountain road, the tender-heart* ed l i t t le woman took the vacant place a t t h e window, watching eagerly fo r the flrst .signs of the returning search-party.
She was standing there yet when the sun went behind the mountain and the flrst stragglers of the party began to appear In the road; and she was try-1 ing so earnestly to distinguish the form of her husband among the men t h a t she did not hear him when he entered the room. A single glance a t his face dis-heartened her. and sI;o could not find W' ' rai. tl'H question tha t foi;..:i bet ter speech in her eyes.
"No, we d i d n t find him," said Lud-low, gravely, answering her thought. "We quartered every foot of the plateau and looked all along under the cliffs on both brows of the mountain. He's not np there, dead or alive. And t h a t isn't a l l : t he McNabb waa blown up agstn last night.**
Mrs. Ludlow seemed not to have beard: the laat sentence, for .she pu t her a rms abont her husband'a neck aud hid her face on his bosom, saying, sofUyt "Oh. poor, poorHester l"
XX TBS BOTUHNO OP A STAIR.
Good resolutions, backed by whatever plea of adyisablllty or necessity, are no t <iw»ys, certain to beer f ru i t a f t e r their kind. When Bingbrand flung himself down beside the log to wait for the dawn, he f a n y intended keeping awake In order t o t£ke advantage of theeari lest titftt lo r t h e beginqjpg of t h e j i e w t a r
deavor. So ran the alert deter mi nation; but he who watches nmynot lie quietly with closed ryes, nnd when ningbnuul sprang to his foot out of a sound sleep the morning was fnr advanced.
Koproacliing hiniHolf remorsefully for his want of vigilance, he recalled the lie tails 01' l lie plan which hmi suggested itself in the night, and went iuiuiediate-ly to work, lie first ascertained hulf the length of the log by measuring it with the rope, and with the dimension thus obtained he gauged the varying width of the enveru unti l he found a point where tho walls approached eaoh other so nearly as to make the Interven-ing space correspond exactly with bis measurement.
The next step was to cut the log Into two pieces of equal length, and, drag-ging It out Into tbe better light under the aperture, bo narrowly missed throw-ing it down upon another package of food similar to the one found in tho same spot on the previous morning. I t was a welcome surprise, and he stopped work long enough to devour the bard corn-bread and greosy bacon, thinking that the daintiest breakfost ever brought him by the well-trained waiter In tbe grill-room of his New York club had not been eaten with a keener relish.
"I t must be ^he woman,' ' he solilo-quized; "it can't be anyone else; and if these fellows have put their devilish plot In motion I'll get no more rations from that source, because they were to send her away to-day. After all, though, I don't know aa i t makes much differ-
i
Ha hoisted tba otbar ptaoa of wood aftar hla.
ence; if another night finds me still in tbis hole I shan' t care much wha t bo-comes of me."
Put t ing the shadow of despondency into words had the effect of defining it, and he shook i t off resolutely. "That ' l l never do; there must be no Ifs and ands about i t : Pve just got to get out of here while this daylight lasts."
He swallowed the laat mouthful of bread and fell to work again, beginning to cut a groove around the middle of the log by incessant and careful strokes of the pick. In turning tbe piece of timber, he saw where the mountaineer 's shot had plowed a deep fur row In it, and he knew then t h a t the bruise on his arm had been made by the glancing and half-spent bullet. He scarcely heeded the grim reminder, and osiie bent pati-ently to his work he thought how quick-ly the school of privation and hardship begins to Impress Its lessons of indiffer-ence upon the mind.
There are many things easier of ac-complishment than tbe cutt ing in two of a six-inch stick of tough onk with tho dull point of o pick as a substi tute for an ux; and tbe muscles of Rlngbrand's back and arms were In painful rebellion, and his hands were sore and blistered, long before the th ing waa done. As a col logo man, he had been ra ther fond af athletics, and> the training of tho university gymnasium, reaching up through the overlying years of se-dentary habit, gave him the power of endurance and' enabled him to keep steadily at work in spite of tho protests of back and arms and hands; but this did not lessen the acutenessof the pain, nor did i t dull the keen agony of appre-hension that seized upon him as he saw how slowly the cutt ing progressed. Notwithstanding his preseverance and the feverish energy with which he worked, the hands of his watch marked the hour of noon when the last remain-ing fibers of the wood gave way under the blows of the pick, and, atopping only long enough to gHi a dripk of water f: 1 >ol v ' ca *h» nl' «• * 0
tbe point determined by the measure-ment with the rope, and began to fit one of them breast-high between the vertical walla aa the flrst round of his ladder.
"By Jove I talk about special provi-dence—what chance would I have If this bit of t imber hadn' t tumbled down here?" I t waa a comfort to think aloud in tbe dead silence of the place. "Now, if I can rvedge th is ao it will hold me—" ( l half-dozen trials went for nothing, and he sat down to worry i t out in theory. ' I t ' s too long—that's what 's the mat ter with tt; but if I cut i t off It
may be too short for tho next place and that won't do. L«t me see; I wonder if if 1 couldn't dig a little step for the low-er end.
He wss on his feet again in a moment, picking a shallow hole tn the sandstonei The expedient answered the porpeee, and when tne log wss adjusted be tried it, first by littles, and th«>n by climbing op and then jumping upon it. I t
held, and he forgot his aches and pains In tho exultant, joy of success.
"That demonstrates it: if l e an fltono, I can fit the others. And I'll got tho hang of it presently, so I* can work faster. I t oughtn' t to take more than six of these lo carry me to the top; six, or possibly seven"—scanning the cleft above him—"nnd I've got live hours or such a matter to do it in. At that rate It'll be dark when I get back to Lud-low's; but that won't matter. An hour will give me all the time I want a t Tom's, nnd we can figure safely up to ten o'clock." Then the folly of planning so far ahead while he was still in a prison that for two days aud a half had resisted all his efforts to break i t struck him like tho rebuke of a task-master, and he slid down from the log with a mild Imprecation pointed a t his own vagaries. "That 's just like me," ho muttered, "sending my imngln-ation across the river before the bridge is oven planned. Work is the word, you speculative Idiot! Do you hear tha t? Workl"
To his great astonishment, tho word seemed to bring an answer from tho upper world, and ho ran to the othor end of the cavern to listen. The halloo was repeated, and he answered It with all tho strength of his lungs; once again he heard the cry, but th is t ime i t was fainter, and af ter that tho silence was undisturbed. Alive to tho importance of utilizing cfery moment of time. Ring-brand returned to his work; but the ex-piring glimmer of the hope raised by the answering shout loft a feeling of depression which would have un-manned him had he known tha t one o f the searching miners had actually looked down into the cavern a t the moment when he was climbing down from the first step of his problematical stair.

A New Ocoupalion for Bright Polka.
Is the habit of employ IID; a jester, a private fool, about to be revived In be-half of the jaded wits of our rich Ameri-can familiesV The latest bit of ext rava-gance, perpetrated bj mo host of a great yuchtinK pnrty that sec out a few days since for a cruise iu the Moditerranean, was the hiring of an individual to keep the company amused. No such crude word, of course, as "hiring" was used, nnd only a few of tbe members of the party knew that young Mr Blank joined their society in any other capacity than that of a guest on the palatial little steamer: nevertheless be is paid a salary, and a good one a t that, with tbe proviso that he furnishes amusement whenever the party appear in the least likely to grow dull and boreJ. Mr Blank, boing young, vivacious, anxioustosee Europe, and glad to earn money, accepted the duties imposed, and took on board with bim a lot of musical instruments, a won-dertul stock of jokes, all the proper par-aphernalia for private theatricals, and an amazing fund of high spirits. He had a scheme of entertainment mapped out for every day; he guaranteed his conversation never to flag or grow mon-otonous, his stories uever to be repeated and his good-humor never to be rulHed.
Mr Blank's nearest rival is a young girl, bright, pretty, and accomplished, who last winter accepted a salary to ac-company a party on a private car through the South and West. She drew the tidy little wages of fifty dollars a week, and had all her expenses paid; but they say she earned her money, for she kept the whole oar load of blase rich folks in an amazing good humor for the entire s i x weeks, At the end of her trip she was snapped up for a country house party; but at the end of that visit, like a worn out profesribnal nurse, she was obliged to go home and to bed for a while. She had danced, sung, laughed, talked, played tricks and banjos, drawn funny pictures, etc., until she tottered on the verge of nervous prostration; but she says it is a well paid profession, and a growing one. Rich Americans find it harder every year to originate amuse-ments and keep themselves up to the re-quired pitch of novelty and excitement; but they are willing to pay someone to do it for them, and a new field lor bread winning is thus opened to quick witted men and women who know just how to cater to this want.—From '•So-ciety f a d s .

IMPEKIAL ARCHITECT AUD UEFOBUER.
A hundred aud .seventy-five years ago one might bavo seen in northeastern Europe a gigantic carpentcr plying his task. Ho was u builder by instinot as well as by practice. His manner of stmctnro was as rough as tho age and the country, but it bad strength of material and correctness of plan. Tho builder was not a carpet draftsman who made drawings for others to examine and fol-low, but a veritable workman, who with a barbaric sketch of tbe thing to be done iu his prodigious mind took au ax that might be likened to that of Sieg-fried or tho Lion Heart, and went to the forest. There he cut the timber fot himself, hewed it after his own patterns and went ou with tho buildlug iu the manner of a true frontiersman. Such in-deed ho was—tho frontiersman of Slavic civilization.
Peter earned his title of Great as au architect of empire rather thnn as a con-1
queror. His war with tho Swedes may be disregarded, bnt his internal conquests were a necessary part of that order to establish which iu Russia seemed to bo his mission and his inspiration. A large portion of his preternatural energy was consumed iu the battle with his own subjects nnd with those who wore becoming his subjects as the resnlt of war. There were timos when insurrec-tion with its nine heads was a veritable hydra, overy particular bead spitting war nnd death. But it was dangerous to spit war nnd death nt Peter tbe Great. Ho always accepted the first and defied tho other. In the course of time tho hydra, seven timns slain, lay still, though still writhing iu it hinder parts, aud the czar found time lo build new institutions and to lay tho foundations of that vast imporial Ptmcture which has bocomo the wotulot and the menace of tho rest of Europe.
The actual reforms accomplished by Peter wo:,..! miui re a volume for their record. I h o lite of tho czar lay half and half over ll.o dividing ridge of two cen-turies, He inherited the expiring ener-gies of the one and gave fashion to tbe springing powers of the othor. He was by much tho greatest creator of the epoch. His task was the regeneration of a vast barbarian society whose vices were in himself by hereditary descent, but over which he rose like a lighthouse and monitor in the darkness. His re-forms reached iu every direction. Many, were political in character. Others were sociaL Some had respect to tho domestic estate, some to manufactures, some to commerce and some to education. Tbe great motive iu it all was the determi-nation on tho czar's part to create a civ-, ilized Russia out of the barbarous and half barbarous races over which be reigned. 1
Tbe political reform was radical, though not complete. The autocratic principle was retained as befora A, council of state, consisting of eight [ members, was appoiuted to assist tho czar aud to exercise authority in his ab-1 seuce. The direct execution of the laws was assigned to a procurator general j Ten departments of government called I colleges were instituted—foreign affairs, j war, admiralty, treasury, revenue, jus-tice, property of tbe nobles, manufac-tures, mines and commerce. Theso func-1
tions of tho impei ial state were to be administered in accordance with a new' code of laws derived from Sweden aud Germany. The old Muscovite methods: were abandoned. So great was the ' change that the czar was obliged to im- ' port many foreign officers and put them into his colleges of administration. The old division of tbe empire into feudal j governments was broken up into .19 provinces, to each of which governors and vice governors were appoiuted The provincial administration was similar to the imperial Cities were ruled by bur-gomasters and a council of eight In St. Petersburg a superior muuicipal council was constituted, having control of all subordinate councils aud also an over-eight of oommerce and manufactures. The towns might have their own mili-tary organizations.
Against the political vices of the coun-try tbe czar set himself like an avenger. Old Russia was thoroughly corrupt. Of-fice was peculation, aud administration was crime. Woe be henceforth to who-ever was found ont in corrupt practices and robberies by tbe czar I He was obliged, so he reckoned from existing conditions, to establish a secret polioe throughout tbe empire, having its head center and ramifications into all parts. This Institution grow into an inquisition befopfl whjch offenders were haled in secret aud punished with tortures and dea%
T^e pooial reform was perhaps most dlfflgaftol a l l It involved a transfor-matiou ot the manners nnd customs of the jpjnde. Before this epoch Russian aoototy was essentially Asiatia Tbe wo-men were secluded. There was a terem, like the Persian harem, which was said to be locked with 27 bolts. Women must wear veils over their faces, and the lit-ters in which they traveled mnst have

' women's faces and the curtains from their litters. Six weeks before marriage the betrothed pair might become ao-

, fants should he put to death. Wives aud ' daughters might go forth freely, aud
Indies might bavo salons like those of Enrope. There shonld be public meetings to which the people could go uninvited, dressed iu European garb. There should be rofreshments at social parties, and Polish and German dances, aud French and Hwedish prisoners should act as masters of ceremony aud models of gooc'

He says to them in effect: "Tbe kings of the Cientlles lord it over their sub-jects. and insist on being called beno-factors.

Poter reformed tho education also. No ' less being celebrated during this table system of free public schools could be then established, but special Institutions were planted at all advantageous plaoes. Nearly all of these were technical in character. The young Russians were taught commerce and agriculture, man-ufnoturo, tactics, engineering, mining in particular, and as to scholastic branches, every young man of good birth must be able to speak one language beside his own. In St. Petersburg an Academy of Sciences was founded.
Peter himself made a uew alphabet, using tbe old Muscovite letters in part and the Roman alphabet more freely, and the new was substituted for the old. The czar lived to see four printing presses at work in St. Petersburg, and there were two in Moscow—six in all the Russian empire! But the Imperial Academy was manned with capable scholars, most of whom were brought from western Europe. In gathering bis men, Poter selected from several nations. Be got him au astronomer and au urch-(oologist, several linguists, experts in chemistry aud in all the current branch-es of the higher education.
Meanwhile Peter made tho headquar-ters of the empire iu the little wooden house which he built for himself at his new capital. Two rooms were sufficient for him. The cottage still stands aud ia regarded with veneration, as a sort of shrine for those loyal Muscovites who believe that a military autocracy la the t n e empire of man and that Force is the greatest secretary of state. In that cottage were elaborated by Petal (he plans for his military campaigns and for tbe civil reconstruction of Russia. He worked with his own hands. He sprang from one thing to another with the bound of a leopard. He conceived that he could do everything. If work-man was injured in tbe street and the surgeon was not at.hand, the czar rush-ed out and used the knife himself. He considered himself a capable dentist and would snatoh out an offending molar from the jar of a field marshal or prince, whether the victim would consent or no t If history, with her sphinxlike foco, could be Drought to smile at any-thing, it might well be at the inspired antics of Pqter t>s Grea t

discourse of Jesus. HI. Tbe Warning to Judas.—Luke
22:21-23; but ful lest in John 18:18-20. This warning, showing tha t Jesus knew what he had done, gave Judas an opportunity to r epen t his last op-portunity. It also brought the dis-ciples to the deepest heart searchings.
IV. Tbe Warning to Peter.—Vs. 31-87. "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you that he may s i f t you as wheat," tossed into the wind by tho winnowing fan ; so that you shall fall away from the faith as tbe chaff and dust are blown away f rom tbe thrashing fioor. "But I have prayed for thee, tha t thy faith faU notl and when thou a r t converted, s trengthen thy brethren.'* Peter had great need of this sifting. Jesus did not pray that Peter might be saved from the trial, but saved In tho trial. I t is a great privilege to be able to strengthen and comfort others. Only those can do It who have passed through similar ex-periences, and have gained the victory. So Jesus was "in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin." But Peter said: "Lord, I am ready to go with Thee, both into prison and to death." Peter did not yet know the depths of his own heart. No one does till he is tried. And He said: "I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day (with-in four or five houra) before tha t thou shalt thrice deny tha t thou know eat Me.*
