10 THE S0RANTON TRIBUNE- SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 24, 18!)7. t J HOW HE WON HER. ! TJio poor tutor was alone with her; and thouch It wna In the days when men fought hard battles even apalnst tholr own kinsmen, If they so thought It was for the right, his heart throbbed just as tho tutor's heart might throb todny with the difference that ho had not learned to count Its beats, as our onamored youth, 200 years wiser, have learned to do, In a self-controlled man ner eminently conducive to tho steady ing of that obstreperous organ. What mattered tho great insurrec tion, the cruelties of Judge Jeffries, and a fugitive patron, with a price upon his head when Love had sought shelter In his heart, and she to whom he had built a shrine was Just an far away from him as tho width of the table. Of what consequence that she was tho Lady Gertrude, the daughter of a noblo conspirator, and he but a tutor without land or wealth! So he con tinued his story, looking at his book, as If he were reading therefrom. "And the poor man loved the rich lady, and ho dared not tell her of his love, lest she would scorn him." "Then surely ho was fearful at a nothing, which methlnks means ho was a coward, Master Humphrey." "A coward, If 'twere cowardly to fear the anger of his lady " "Why should he expect such anger?" "He had naught to offer her but his love." "Love wore wealth enough! But I am tired of your story. 'Tls not so good ns you are wont to tell, Master Humphrey, nnd 'tis our last lesson," sho added very gently. "You will not miss the lessons?" "No, not my lessons, only the stories I have loved some of them." And she moved restlessly In her seat as If she would say more, yet could not And the words. "But surely my father should be hero even now." she murmured at last. The poor tutor turned pale. "You will go with hhtf to Holland?" he said. "It would be too great a risk to ac company him, but I follow tomorrow, If all succeeds as we have planned. Ah, If they should take him. They have killed the duke. Why are they not sat isfied? Poor Monmouth!" "They will not take him!" "Now at tho last moment I am ter rified lest things should not go well. Look at the time! He may be hero at any moment. Indeed, ho should bo here now!" Then Lady Gertrude rose hastily and stood tall even as the young tutor, by her side with a look of eager Impati ence on her fair face. "Not yet come, I think," he said. "To cross the marshes on foot needs Indeed an hour." So they stood Irresolute, each with hearts for one another and thoughts for the absent fugitive. "There are learned men In Holland, I am told," stammered the young man, Irrelevantly. "It Is so rumored; yet not more than that, there would still be room for an other, I am sure, Master Humphrey!" Which pretty speech night overpow ered tho equanimity of Master Hum phrey and threw him into a discourt eous silence like enough to pique his noble pupil, who, Indeed, felt she had made too bold and had lacked In mod esty, since he would vouchsafe no an Bwer. "Continue your story, sir," sho said, with marked coldness. "I have no mind for lessons Just now." ' There Is no more to tell, my lady," he said. "Then 'tis a poor story." 'Twas a poor man." "With a poor spirit!" "Nay, do not challenge him, for ho hath an Idea 'twere better to be poor spirited than false-hearted." "Why should he bo either?" "Were It not a mean thing to harass an unprotected lady and false to be tray the trust of her noble parent, his life for his country?" To harrass her would bo wrong, sir; to betray a trust a worse wrong; yet I cannot see that. If ho loved the lady well, ho would be doing either of these things." "Madam, were I, your humblo tu tor, tho poor man, would you still so reason?" "Were you the man, Master Hum phrey, I could but be sorry for the lady?" '"Tls a fair answer; I crave your par don! Shall wo continue the transla tion?" "Were you the man In truth, I should be sorry for the lady to have so In consistent a lover." "Inconsistent, madam?" "Who will make you love, wherever ho may find a ready listener, though In covert language that saves him from a declaration. Pray Master Hum phrey, If It bo as you declare, that you are this man, convey my sympathlps to the lady." Now tho tutor rose In wrath, and would have gone his way, for without doubt his mistress was making sport of him; but tho sound of faint footsteps from behind the panelled wall arrested his attention, and ho stood still, con sidering whether 'twere best to go or stay. "It Is my father!" said the girl, aware that he alone' knew tho secret passage. Then Master Humphrey saw a look of Joyful relief rise to her pretty face, and he remembered how brave she had been, how good and noblo and fair she was, and how miserable a worm wua he; and so lifted his head In the pride of humiliation, as humble-minded folk aro wont to do, In such manner that the Lady Gertrude found him as beau tiful and arrogant as a king, for all his shabby clothes and Blight stature "I may not see you again.

"'"'"Mftftfirfiffiffli cross today I tomorrow," sho said In sudden haste. "God bo with youl" answered tho tutor, and ho bowed low. Tho fugitive noble stood In the shad ow of the open panelling, nnd the Lady Ocrtrude, full of apprehension that ho should stay too long, strained an ear to catch any ominous sounds from without and drank In eagerly the de tailed plans he slowly explained of his own escape to Holland, and her Jour ney tlther on tho morrow by anothar route. When he ended there was a little silence between them, ns with thoso whoso hearts are too full to speak. It was speedily broken, however.by a loud ringing of the great boll, which rever berated from the deserted court yard below through tho house. The girl hastened to the casement of the win dow and,Iooked quickly out. "There aro armed men," she sa'd; "they have traced you here." "Wary hounds!" he murmured, with a look of grim humor "to tho hole, but not within. Twenty minutes and I shall be beyond tho most cunning tenet's scent. God bo yitli wou, little daughter. Keep them dallying hero awhile. Remember, tomorrow nt Bal- lam bridge, by nightfall." Tho panel fell back and the Lady Gertrude sat down to her books and made much pretense uf mumbling to herself as the old doorkeeper, scaro stilcken and panting, tumbled Into tho room with an officer of the king's ser vice at his heels. "Soldiers!" said he. "Ah, good Oliver, what Is their will?" said she, not deigning to raise her eyes from her book. "No harm to so fair a hostess!" ex claimed the intruder. Whereupon the Lady Gertrude slowly lifted her pretty head and scanned the uncomely countenance and fat propor tions of the officer with much delibera tion. "Should fairness diminish harm, sir, 'twoie a pity there were no more of the quality among his majesty's servants." "A true, fair one, to a war of words. I am here to crave your hospitality whilst waiting for the presence of one who, I am informed, purposes to visit his daughter between the timo of noon and midnight. You start! 'Tls now hardly noon. We demand to know In the king's name at what precise hour that Interview Is to take place." "Sir!" " 'Twere well, madam, to save that pretty head; for those who wilfully harbor the treacherous Monmouth's fol lowers can receive no clemency from his most gracious majesty, King James. Their life Is the forfeit, man or wo man." "Sir," said Lady Gertrude, after some moments of seeinlnc fearful delibera tion. "I await my lord, mv father, here within an hour from now; and may God curse you for a coward!" The fat soldier grinned. The lady's bark was not loud enough, but her bite iv as, Indeed, most easily averted with a threatening whip, ns was the way with women; so he sat his broad per son down and did all that which ho thought would beguile so pretty a sinew from her gretful humor. Pull three quarters of an hour thus rasped, when news was brought by a breathless soldier that the Earl of W had boarded a frigate not fifteen min utes since, and as was related In all seriousness had doffed his hat In acknowledgment of tho fiery halute tromjbore. Wijjfupon the fat soldier got up In a feaffljl rage, and kicked and swore, es oriTvf a gentleman soldier knows veil how to do, and Enarled aloud that nothing should save the cunning Jade fiom the lively fate of Mistress Gaunt, who, indeed, was burned to death for a lesser misdemeanor. But the Lady Gertrude lifted up her Trend head and said: "Even so, I shall deem my father's life most cheaply bought, sir." And she walked out between the file of armed men, who, Indeed, were sor ly for so brave and fair a creature, taken thus roughly a prisoner. Tho poor tutor sat over his books In tho upper loom of a small dwell ing house, and wrestled with his thoughts till he know not which was conscience and which the devil, most plaguing him; for the Lady Gertrude had said' that love was wealth, yet his rooms betrayed no signs thereof. He had a little piece of land not tar away, from which he acquired a small Income; yet withal these things could In nowise be counted riches. Indeed, no.thought he, when hurled footsteps upon the stair became con fused with his wandering fancies, and ere ho had time to weigh the matter, Lady Gertrude stood before him. And then something of a sweet shy ness came over her, so that all In u great hurry she set to explaining how sho had been taken prisoner by the Irate colonel, and how, Indeed, sho had escaped through the help of a cousin among tho officers, who, sho avowed, had once cared greatly for her. Then the boy and girl, for they were not much else, looked Into one an other's eyes, as they had looked these many past days during tho lessons ho had set out to teach her; and now there was no table between them, so that he knelt down, and taklnjfe both her little white hands In his he covered them with humble kisses, the 'which tho lady seemed to havo no desire to resent. "So, after all, Master Humphrey, you mu3t needs take care of your pupil still a little while longer. Tomorrow at Bal Inm bridge at nightfall there will bo those waiting to conduct me to Hol lnnd, where I think, sir, you told me you had a mind to follow In search of same eminent authorities say l ttn pound Una, with onr trade-marks-"OU0- wrvum vu tTtry no. noil t guaranteed If aold la New York. Montreal. further learning. Yet till then I must remain prisoner hero for fear of my very life," laughod she. Now, hardly had she spoko than a clamor without sent the blood from his cheek, nnd fear at lnr.t Into tho dauntless eyes of tho Lady Gertrude. "Quick! Within I" said ho, and thrust open tho door of tho narrow chamber and closed It upon her. Then1 tho steady tramp of men's feet echoed upon the winding stair. "In the king's namel" said a tnll ofilcer, as ho entered tho room, fol lowed by several men at arms. There was a strange look In his eyes an he met the tutor's gaze, and ho faltered In his speech whilst repeating the com mon formula. "There Is no one hero," answered the student, deliberately. "It Is necessary tho placo should be searched," replied the officer, " and T must warn you that If the prisoner be found, your life will be forfeited with out trial, as a traitor harboring those In conspiracy ngalnst his majesty's crown." "There Is no one here," repeated the tutor. "Search," said tho ofilcer. He had grown pale as tho poor youth, who bent with seeming Indifference over his books and clung close to his chair as tho men approached the little door, which opened suddenly from within, as a beautiful youth In a velvet suit, with fine lace ruffs and a mass of brown, curly hair, falling negligently about his shoulders, such as was then the fashion to affect, confronted the ofilcer. "What noisy matter Is this?" said he, haughtily. "Is there no peace even1 for students, who, loyal to his majesty, claim but the quiet of their chambers to peruso the books which tell of mightier deeds than those of tho In ternal wars of a discontented people?" Now a look of humor crept Into the officer's eyes as he bowed perhaps low er than was necessary to so young and haughty a youth. "I am grieved to so disturb you, sir," said he. "We havo been misinformed, for, apparently, the lady we seek Is not here," and ho turned upon his feet and departed with his men from tho lowly roof of the poor tutor. "Master Humphrey," said the beau tiful youth and his face was crimson even as tho Bkles nftcr the sun hath set "you risked being hung on high, Master Humphrey, for me." And there were tears In his eyes. Then, Indeed, did nearly all Master Humphrey's fortitude depart. "Lad, 'twere but a paltry thing to risk," said ho, and bowed his head as one ashamed, and within himself he thought: "Now, Indeed, I cannot woo her, for 'twould bo the way of a coward to thus force advantage of a maid's grat itude." But the while he was ponderlns she stole up to him, and ho know not how It happened, but he wooed her Just the same. Pall Mall Gazette. HE roLtOWED COPV. And tho Editor Wns Self-Convicted When Ho Ucgnn to Punic Over It. Prom tho Celveland Plain-Dealer. It was a far Western weekly of the usual type. Its four pages were sorely crowded and the editor permitted noth ing to be "leaded," not even his lead ing editorial. It was the weok before Washington's birthday, and the editor had launched forth In a glowing trib ute to tho memory of the departed. Jn the midst of It he had Inserted two lines from Lelsh Hunt's "Abou Ben Adhem," "And lo! Ben Adhem's name led all the rest." It was a line effort, and the editor consigned It to the hands of the ancient fossil who set type, read proof, made up and run off the paper with considerable personal satisfaction. What was his astonishment, then, to notice In the printed sheet that awaited him the next morning that more than half the Washington editorial was leaded! He hastily called the ancient fossil. "How does this happen?" he cried, as he pointed to the offending column. "It looks real neat and tasty, doesn't It? First half of the article solid and t'other half leaded. How In thunder did It happen?" "Why," said the aged fossil, as he looked over the top ot his spectacles, "It was your own orders, you know." "My orders?" "Yes, o' course. It seemed kind o' funny to me at th' time, but you writ It down so plain I couldn't see no other way to do It." "What do you mean?" "Here, I'll show you th' copy," and the aged fossil was back In a moment with the written sheets, leaflng them over rapidly as ho advanced. "There," he said, "you can sec for yourself." "Hold on," cried tho editor, as he continued to scowl at the paper, "where the dickens Is the rest of this, quota tion? Here, you've chopped It oft at 'Ben Adhem's name.' " "There's the copy," said the old fos sil stolidly. The editor bent over It. "You notice," said the aged fossil, "that you wrote the foreign feller's nafne 'Lo Ben Adhem's name, and then you put In 'Led all the rest' and, by gum, I leaded It, o' course!" And the editor had never a word to say. ICKD TKA. Oh, there are drinks and drinks and drinks, Enough to drown the sea: But of the multitude, methlnks. The best Is Iced tea.

INSTANCES THAT BAFFLE SCIENCE Vivid Impression llccclvcd by Per sons in Slumber Tlint Aro Not to He Kxplnlncd by Ordlnnry Knowledge. One Drcnm That Deceived nnd Ono Thiit Proved Only Too True. Writing In tho Metaphysical Mnga zlno W. A. Gay narrates this curious eplde: "In the latter part of October, 1S00, I took tho train for Spokane, Wash., leaving Seattle at 0.40 p. In. I was accompanied to tho station by my huslness associate. Our conversation was of the ordinary sort letween partners. Nothing was said about tho trip or of problematical dangers. I was delighted to find In tho smoking room of tho Pullman sleeping-car some congenial friends, with whom I en gaged In conversation about tho ap proaching election. Our talk lasted until about 11 o'clock, when we all re tired to our berths. "I had made several trips over tho road, and knew Us general condition to bo first-clars. I had no apprehen sions; In fact, I was no sooner In my berth than I became drowsy, sinking into a deep slumber. I nm somewhat of a profound sleeper, not usually pre disposed to dreams which I can after ward recall In my waking hours. How ever, I slept through the cntlro night, but was awakened suddenly In the morning by a most vivid dream. I bad dreamed that I was on board a train, stowed comfortably away In a Pullman berth; that tho cars wer; about to approach a bridge spanning a river, and that I was awake. It seemed to mo that I was warned from tho tourco the exact nature of which I do not recall of an Impending danger, the only escape from which was by Jumping from the train. I thought I refused to Jump and laughed at tho warning; that the trnln went slowly on, I noting all the scenes en route; and that we soon rnmo to the approach of a bridge which spanned a large utream of water. I carefully examined the bridge, its approach, and many surrounding details. I thought thkat, as we nearod Its centre, a span broke and we were precipitated toward a deep whirling stream of blue water. From the time I was warned to Jump, the train beginning to 'slow, the fences and trees along the right of Way, the approach to the bridge. Its 'bents,' the water, and the disaster wore all most wonderfully real so real that I awak ened with a cry, es I thought tho bridge and train were sinking toward the water. THE YKRY PLACE. "I found myself sitting In my berth shuddering with terror. Everything nt first was unfamiliar. The trains was pursuing Its regular course and all seemed well. Suddenly i saw a fami liar object a stump, with a log at tached. In an Instant other fnmlllar objects came In view. At first I could not distinguish them, but In a moment the thought was forced on me that they were the scenes I had beheld in my dream. The engineer had reduced speed somewhat, nnd familiar scenes and localities became more distinct. At once I passed the placo where' I was warned to jump and had refused. I looked In amazement. I could then jump with safety, as tho train was go ing slowly, but I did not attempt It. I was bewildered. We entered tho ap proach of a bridge the 'bents' were tho same, the train was moving the same, and the water was blue and deep, as In my dream. I was so fright ened that I sat In my berth holding firmly to the bar under tho window and waited for death. Rut ' " train passed safely over to the side! There were no accidents on t. . . or uny subsequent trip." ANOTHER INSTANCE. Another tale more singular still Is thus narrated: In 1891, while the late Wiley S. Scrlbner was recorder of Cook county, Illinois, he had In his employ an old gentleman named Speare, who was taken 111 and obliged to leave. Mrs. Scrlbner, who had chai'ge of one department of the of fice, knew casually of the occurrence, but, as the Illness proved a lingering cne, the man's placo was given to an other. In an ofllce of two or three hun dred clerks, the matter soon passed out of mind. Some months later, In the murky watches of a Chicago night, Speare suddenly appeared at Mrs. Scrlbner's bedside, and said, placidly and dis tinctly: "You see, I am well at last, Mrs. Pcrlbner; and I wanted to tell you that all along the doctors mistook my caso and treated me for erysipelas, while the real trouble was blood-poisoning." With a spring, the startled wo- A sick person trying to keep up on mere etlmulitlug tonics is like anyone pretend ing to swim while supported by a belt. The instant the support is withdrawn down you go. Nearly all diseases result from a deep seated impairment of the nutritive powers which canr.ot be reached by any temporary exhilaration. The only good that any med icine can do is to incraase your own natural powers of recovery and make you able to swim for yourself. The debilitating weakness, nervousness and digestive disorder which Indicates this state of mal-nutrition can only be overcome by a scientific remedy like Or, Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery which acts dl rectjy upon the digestive and blood-making organs, and effects the nutritive transforma tion of food into rich, healthy blood, which carries genuine permanent vitality to every corner of the system. It is vastly more nutritious than malt extracts. It does not paralyze the nerves, but feeds them with health. It is better than cod liver oil emulilons, It is assimi lated by the weakest stomachs. It does not make flabby useless fat, but muscular strength and healthy nerve-force. It is the only perfect invigorant for corpulent people. Mrs. Ella Howell, of Derby.

Kerythlng that I ate gave me great paiq; I had a bearing down sensation; was swelled across ray stomach; had a ridge around ray right side, and lu a short time I was bloated. I was treated by three of our best phy sicians but got no relief. Then Or. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery was recommended to me aud I got it, and commenced the use of it. I began to see a change for the better. I was so weak I could not walk across the room without assistance. I took Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and one bottle ol the 'Pleasant Pel lets.' I began to Improve very fast after the use of a few bottles. The physicians who attended me said I had ' dropsy ' ad that my disease was leading Into pulmonary consumption.

Then as usual on such occasions, Bhe looked at her watch to note the exact hour; and, rousing her husband, she told him excitedly what sho had seen. "You dreamed It, of course," ho raid, sleepily; "but It's odd that tho poor old gentle man should disturb your dreams." Then they talked of other things) and soon were fast asleep. ' CONFIRMED. By nine o'clock the next morning, when Mrs. Scrlbner entered tho court house, all midnight visions were as far from her thought as garish day with its crowding calls could banish them. As she went down the dingy hall, how ever, tho first person sho met said, abruptly: "Mr. Scrlbner, did you know that Mr. Speare, who used to work In your husband's office, died last night?" Startled nnd almost terrified as tho night vision returned, sho answered as briefly ns possible, expressing her re gret und surprise, and hastened on. But, before sho had reached the re corder's room, a son of tho dead man met her, and, repeating the statement, named tho hour of death, winch pre ceded by only a few moments the time of her night vision. He also added that nt tho last moment tho physicians In attendance admitted they lvad been In error In their diagnosis, having treated for erysipelas and overlooked blood-poisoning. My First Voyage Over the Atlantic. Interesting Letter from a Scrnn ton Lady Who Recently Went Abroad. Atlantic Ocean, July 3. The new, large and powerful steamship Lucanta lies at anchor In the Hudson river at Pier 40, ready to direct Us course over the vast ocean eastward, tho host of passengers on board were strangers to me except five, Mrs. Henry Thomas nnd son Harry and Mrs. John B. Davis and children, Emellno nnd Amy, all 'ot Scranton. By the way, Mrs. Davis Is my companion. We left Pier 40 at 8 a. m. The boat moved so quietly we did not know we had started. After watch ing the departure of friends, some wav ing handkerchiefs, others waving large bouquets of flowers, some laughing, others crying, we descended to the din ing room and partook of an excellent breakfast. Going on deck the weather was all we could wish it to be, the sun shone brightly, the sea calm, and so great was- our pleasure that the din ner gong rang long before we expected It. The next thing on the programme was going up on deck; the weather was a continuance of the morning. The main feature of the afternoon enter tainment was the approach of a num ber, probably ten or fifteen, large fish jumping high out of the water, ns If playing hlde-nnd-seek. July 4. This Is our national holiday, also the Sabbath, which Is observed better than wo an ticipated. They are quite patriotic on our vessel. The English nnd American flags nre draped side by side, and many other decorntlons Indicating a holiday. Even the horizon represented our na tional colors last evening nt sunset. We spent the first part of this morn ing In our salon singing hymns. At 1.30 o'clock we went to first cabin saloon, In which Church of England services were conducted by the purser. At 12 o'clock today we hnvo traveled COS miles. We spent the greater part of the afternoon down In tho steerage listening to the singing. There are some fine voices down there (Welsh, ot course) and the singing sounds very sweet on the water. July 5, weather not as pleasant as heretofore; sea rather rough, but J um happy to say that the members ot our party nre all quite well, and to assure you that we are not lonely, I will give you the nu.nber of souls on board: Flrht cabin, 390; second cabin, 430 steerage, B50; crew, 430, making a to tal of 1610, a floating town and we are able to distinguish every Amer' can by the badge worn; that of "Old Glory." Just after tea this evening we sighted the first ship. She saluted and our ship returned the salute. It seem ed good to see something to break tho monotony of sky and water. From 12 o'clock yesterday to 12 o'clock toduy we have traveled 494 miles. July G Another night has passed and this Is a beautiful morning, one of the finest we have witnessed on the trip, but the officials have n sad duty to preform. During the night a little child of the steerage died nnd they burled It In the sea this morning. Oh, it was something dreadful to behold. A box covered with a "Union Jnck." which, when taken oft revealed a lit tle black coffln, which was thrown Into the seething water and tossed about a few seconds; then went from sight forever. The words of the poet came tu my mind so vividly! "It matters not, I've oft been told Where tho body may lie when the heart Is cold Make me a grave far out on the lee But bury mo not In tho deep, deep sea." Y spent the greater part of the day on deck maklns new acquaintances. July 7 Another lovely day has dawned with the sea like glass, the ship balling beautifully, and every one talking and getting ready for the con cert this evening. Nothing partlculir has taken place during the day and tho time for opening tho concert has arrived and while our people are pre 1 urlng, the steerage passengers nre giving a fine concert. So you can seo that we aro all happy so far.
