MADAM moultofs story.
I was sixteen yeares i' that yeare o th
eyro at Hampton, whereby my father,
Robert 3Iood', caino to ': end bis boat and
ho being lifted inland, they sayd, almost in
Eight of our borne :md then drawn down to
death by th' mighty arm o' the deep seas.
"Well I mind our home. 'Tis a small place
where three little pines stand in a row, the
length of n meadow from th' ccnmou field,
and oure nest nayhour a solid, low bouse
under bipc trees and well set about with fences
and palijadoa the Garrison bouse they b2
gan to call ittbx-. yeare.
3Iy mother, Tilistress Betty "Moody, could
fcarca abide in oure house before my father's
ilreadfull daye so fearsome was sho of red
iluns. For alle th" world doth know that in
that yeare 'twas ten years before King
Charles died the red men harried, alle "New
England. After the eygre she grow so pas
Monatelie afcarcd that if a hen did but cacklo
on a stone step th' cloud would grow upon
her features like a sea turned upon th' land,
and sho would catch up th' babe, glancing
foarfullio at my brother cutting wood or hoe
ing tho patch, xud at mo upon tho dyo tub
knitting. And of moonlit nights she would
staro from our lattice upon the deepe woods.
"Child," sho has said to my brother often,
as weo ail peered together, ready dressed for
u. flight; "does that bush move? Alethinks
:tis th' color of th' pale ground.'
The Indians forayed in wliite, to shimmer
along in th' friendlio silence of the still, moon
like vapors lying next the ground.
"Dearo my mother," my brother would
saj-, looking biggo as ho could, but trembling,
t o, though he sayd 'twas because tho April
night was chill and tho wood pilo too small
for a bravo heat. "Hast thou not meo?
And tho Garrison house so near!"' Robert
nlwaies added this last, though ho was a
brave dark boy, like our father in s faco,
straight browed and looking with level eyes.
Ho would cry when he fondled th' babe such
nights 'twas a sweet girl babo and white
like our mother. Ana finally, when ono
night came a man riding hard to toll that
"Watohantowet who had long disputed
boundaries was on tho warpath with manio
braves, my brother was fain for alio his seri
ous talk to lay hold of a3rmuny trenchers as
a could carry and order me to bring th' bed,
our mother following with her babe.
Thcro camo no Indians, and weo went back
i' tho homo next day. Rut the spring was
bard to bear. Robert did well; but one day
i" tho last o' spring he camo and did throw
himself headlong on th' floor in a sweat.
"Rose!"' saith he, "there is but ono hen vith
n whole suit of feathers," saith he. Indeed a
murrain had sottled upon our poor for; Is, giv
ing them naked crops and backs which blis
tered i' tho sun. "And all tho maize be yel
low," saith he. "Thcro is no hill that is good
and greene; and thou knowest how 1 have
watered it!"
It was a hot afternoon, with a shoro w ind.
Our mother's hair clung to her pretty temples
In littcl damp rings, as sho rewed at th' bed
valnce, sweet with lavender our mother wa3
s'cr dainty in bedding.
"Lie, rest, my good lad," saith she. "When
th' sun's dow n Romj and I will help carry
water. I know how to dig about th' roots.
Thou shalt uoc loso thy maize!" And sho
smiled such a tremulous smile as one's still
civiLto acquaintance on th' day of one's dis
tress. "When that it was coole, our mother was as
good :is a' w ord, carrying full piggins from
th' spring with baste, for fear o' th' babe's
awakening. A' shoes w ere bad and they did
tear upon th' stony dirt, the skin reddening
i' th' slits; but so she only flow tho faster, her
arms straining with her loads. Then would
she fall to and dig, whilo th' damp settled
mid frogs i' th' pools clamored. And then
hi, when wo could see a blade no more, with
hand at her back, bedraggled and footsore,
but w ith kinde, white looks at Robert and
no as w e raked th' ashes oil tho stick and
w.inncd th' bread.
But our maize was no'cr to bo harrcsted.
Another fell story came to Hampton of nioro
Indians coining from inland. "Well, I wot;
how my mother paled and screeched "Robert 1
Robert!" when tho naybur body told it,
smoothing her pinners by ouro hearth. "My
brother rushed m from tho patch; but he
Eaw, and did I, 'twas our father she was
calling.
I sat mo down to spin next day, my stmt le
Ing marked for me. 'Twas a fayro morning,
und Robert, outside, went back ami fortii
like tu' shuttle i' tho web i' our field. And
mother sho put on the crape shawl "twas
f areign and flowered mo-st beautifully and
taking th' babo in a's arms, she starts for
th' beach for an airing. I can seo her yet
whon I closo my eyes slender, of a v lllowy
fckaie, hurrying across th' fields i' th' salt
ayre the littlo white bundlo in a's arms.
Iow, sho did go to a hairy captain of a
great smack i' tho harbor, and says she with
a courtes our mother was aye mannerly:
"I am Robert Hoody'4 wife and I have in
mmd to livo at tho Shoals. Wilt carry out
my gear:"
Rut he looked with a weary, merry faco at
mylittel mother.
"Rest stay on t' mainland, good wifo! Thou
dost uoc know what is life on tho Shoals!
Thou canst not help pull ma trawl I" said
the man.
"2o, but my son can,' said our mother
quicklio and lifting her timid eyes. "Ho i3
fifteen and brawny.'
"0, if thy son can work for theo!" said the
captain. And th' bargain was clinched by
th' crapo shawl for s dame.
Our mother did plan this flitting because
thueo seven islands, nine miles from land, had
been a sure refuse from red men. Dreadfull
folko of tho seas went there, but Indians
never.
In another wecko wo were far from our
hohyoaks and our dearer usticail porch. Tho
Toppans o'tho Garrison house helped us off,
oven running with a flitch of bacon when
wo were upon th' load, Air. Toppan seeming
in a browno studdy over my mother's glitter
ing eyes; but ho said nothing. Our gear was
woefully broken i" th' handling, Roberc
breaking the green beaker as wo crowded
upon th' smack ' having tho glass in "s
bands lor safety. O, :h' intolorablo emells of
our craft ns vro went recking md dipping
XVlien Baby was sick, we gave her Ctstorfa,
"WIkb she was a Child, shecried forCastoria,
When Ehe becan-.o Miss,'shc clung to Castoria,
"WhsE eho had Children, she gave theas Castoria,
upon tho green wares! "We couia "oat say
naught and cover our -heads close as tho sail
ors udvised for sicknesse, till at length, when
Robert and I camo up for breath like fishes,
lo! great and small fields before and round
us sst upon th' sea like tho stones i" th' splen
did ring upon Lady Pickering's finger. But
alas! Hampton was now a littel rimme of a
wurld of water.
Our home on the shoals was a closo cham
ber of a miserable hut, our bed with its hang
ing occupying half th' space. Onlie one pane
i' the casement, and that upon a prospect, O,
dolefulle! of tho deep seas. "We all thinned
for th' swete, fresh nyra of Hampton, and th'
cleanliness and th' qniet and th pleasant
smells, sights an&sxiunds. Our mother satte
alio day at her wheel, and I at her feet hetch
elling flax and tow. And th' puny babe be
tween us, minded too little sometimes. Then
would come in Robert with a great xh per
chance, or a kettle of clams, and would toko
up th' precious mite into his leathern jsrkin,
not o'er clean to touch, and kiss and hug her
till th' tiny maid's frocks were alio rumpled.
'Twas plain to see this wild life suited Rob
ert. Ho liked th' sea. But tho' the life
pleased him it harmed him, foul words begin
ning to stick in 's memory and fall from !s
tongue.
The end came. Ono night wo wero stirred
from sleep by a horrible face at cur case
ment. 'Twas of a foul man, drunk ever and
sprawled upon th' rocks continuallio in
drunkenness 'twas said ho was to have been
hanged on the land, and did never dare step
oil the Shoals.
"TVakc.-woman'' hollowed tho harsh voice.
"Look, all of ye."
And as wo huddled ct th' casement ho
pointed o'er tho heaving waters, reflecting a
full moon to a flock of canoe3 like swimming
birds. "We could tea dark forms i' them,
steering with arrowy paddles.
"O, what shall I do' shrieked cur mother.
"O, what shall I do?"
"Do?" yelled tho man; "hide thee! nark
ye! Hark ye! There's no timo for boats,
but there's a clif t i' the rocks back o' th' fish
house. Thou'lt know it by the big balanced
rock where the babes play with kickshaws;
'tis below that.' And tho faco was with
drawn. "And thou?" I screamed after him.
"God a merc3', wench!" cried he, as he ran
to other houses; "there bo forty lurking
places on Star."
How ghost iikc were th' rocks; and tho
booming sea was frightfullie neare this crev
ice to which we crept upon ouro knees, letting
each the other down painfullie therein. Our
mother drew herself in as far as a' could,
lying flat and f.ics down upon th' slimy floor.
I next pressed close, and Robert valiantly
near tho monthe of tho poor rift; 'twas soo
Miiall we wero scarcely out of the moonlight.
So wo crouched and quivered together till
awful sounds began to rise, somewhat dulled
by tho dashing waves anextus. Then Robert
did creep in more, and our mother pushed us
both to th' farthest place, and she, with th'
babe, did lio upon us, guarding us.
But now th' poor babe, uunble to move a's
legs, and half smothered in our mother's
kirtlo, began to roar lustily. O, th' horror o'
th' time! Again and again our mother tried
to feed it, but a' would net eat, and its cries
were thriller and raoro shrill. "Wo both
turned in anagonio to look toward tho uncon
scious littlo thing that was calling death our
way, but our mother writhed herself out o'
th' cave, went hoodlong' forth into th' pit at's
mouth; then back auowupon us, trying with
moro than mortal endeavor to still th' child;
then forth again. Then a sharp wail like a
cat's cry when a' is grasped by th' legs for
killing, a thud, a shower of warm drops and
flinty bits i' our faces, and our mother drew
herself in alono.
I cannot toll what a braid that night was!
By times th' redskins went scampering and
yelling o'er th' rocks, smells of smoke drift
ing down e'en to us. .Robert would put up a
cold hand, touching us for companionship.
But our mother replied naught in kind, as
sho lay'upon us her whole length, malting no
sound, whether a sigh or a groan ; but draw
ing long breath ever and anon, like one that
is coming back to life.
'Twas light enow to see each tho other's
faco when sho did draw herself out o' tho
cave. All noise had long ceased. "Wo chil
dren following, stiff, soro and appalled, came
upon her wordless, with a bloody covered
bundlo i' her lap.
Then up started she and darted out o' tho
rift like a fiatno to the smoking town.
Alack! Our kind hers Ida had found no lurk
ing place. Robert stumbled o'er him in th'
ashes. Shoalers were landing from other isl
ands, and to them our sad mother went
straightwaio with a's stcry, sparing a'self not
at all. I have seen death, but ne'er havo I
seen anie sighc so woeful 1 as a's drawn, tor
tured mouth and th' tale coming from lips
that refused to closo over her teeth.
Thcro was sileuce; but 'twas dreadfull to
see how all fell awaie from our littel mother
as though a' were plague bearing.
"When tho tiny body was wrapped i' my
kirtle waiting with th' other dead for tho
rench to bo deep enow, sho did look fearful
lio upon it with a long, shuddering, "How
could If and then clasp'ng us wildly, "How
could I not?"
A great armed dame from Smutty "Xbso
opened w ide her arms to our mother's littlo
figure, drawing her into them from our cling
ing hands and kisses.
"Thou pooro soulc!" saith she. " 'Twas
human nature," saith she. "By Gods body!"
swore she, slapping a' thigh roundly with a's
mighty hand. "There be not a mother on
t' islands who would not havo done t' samo
wero sho valiant enow; and yet thou poor
mouse!" and tho big, mannish damo cried
over my mother's hidden pretty head. And
when all's o'er, 'tis sho who leads my mother
to a boat.
"Twas pitiful, our mother's meekencsso
amid universal blame; for v. hen they did re
build on Star nobody bade us return day by
day tho dames paddling over from Smutty
"Sbse to watch th' progress of their now huts,
and never a word to us to our red faced
dame's high and loud displeasure.
Soe, as 'twas plain my mother was thought
s piece of ill luck and dreaded upon th' Shoals,
wo camo again into th' white curve of Hnmp
ton Bay, this time gearless as well as house
less, but by favor of th Toppans getting into
our small homo again m th' calm inland. 3Ic
thmks I never knew how srw eto a picture is
the country till I saw it then, after soe much
paine. Th sun shown with yello w light on

Toppan sent in honey i' the comb and bread
hot o" th' oven to our supper. She sent it.
Good wife nor maiden came much to us then
nor thereafter.
"Sis." saith Robert one day, stretched out
like a wild beast along th' limb of our apple
tree, "dost; know that th' court; in Portsmouth
are to find a true bill agsinst mother'"
""What true biil!"' I crted, feeling frozen.
" "For th th' baby," stammered my brother.
"And, oh! to think 1 am strong: and my
poore mother, see littel and weak, to hang!"
and ho stopped, choking.
"Thee need's: not fear that. Lid," said ilr.
Toppan's mellow, friendly voice behind us.
"Wo started, and Robsrt tried to hide s tears.
"I saw to a verity thy poore mother was dis
tracted before she left us.' saith be, "and I
am much to blame that e'er I allowed her
out o' my wife's sight."
Rolwrt looked t him with a glance of a's
dart eyes like a caress. Ssvcet words were
seldom on Robert's lips they were hidden
treasure for our mother olwaies but tho
darting fiance was thanks.
"I know-, lad! I knowf saith ilr. Toppan,
sighing. And again toftly: "I know!

Robert and I hear when out at work in barn
and kitchen; soo few camo to sit by mother
on our settle, whero sho sat all day long ail
iug. Xot forty, and 3-et with streaks in her
hair, and with a look in her faded eyes not to
be worded.
A day m ilay, while mother and I were
sprinkling th' dark, ill smelling linen on our
bleaching ground, there rides up the general
in black velvet. A's lips were thick and a"s
nostrils wide, but a' was comely.
"Art thou tho dame who makes linen sheet
ing?" saith he. "I do desire a web."
21y mother was overjoyed at so great an
order we had none too much i' the cupboard
and a' hurried around a's web on th' grass,
patting and praising it and babbling with
more liveliness than for a yeare of its merits
and its defects. Rut tho gentleman was si
lent, looking at me instead o' the linen.
And as wo cat in tho gloaming came a
black with curds and creamo neatlio layd
upon a silver diah "for Mistress Rose iloody."
I cared mora for th' fayro dish than th'
curds, and even mother liked to try a little
off th' embossed side of the platter, Robert
finishing all, with a boy' greediness.
'Twas thus tho nest day and nest, and by
th' next the old wives i' all Hampton grew
naybourly, but th' maids did seem thrice dis
tant and cold to me.
Tir" next was wild weather; tho ram that
th' wind drovo aslant our lattice freezing i'
the falling Roberc had been forth, and did
sit steaming on th' hearth, mending s fork
as he dried. And our mother upon th' ssttlo
in a thick coverlet. 'Twas dull i' th' room,
and not over warm neither. And I at th'
loom.
Thcro" camo th' sound of a horse's feet and
a knock, and Geu. Moulton in our porch
bowing low. cobwebby, soaked laco falling
down over 's strong white hands as he doffed
his hat to me. Rut Robert was soure, and
looked not from the fork teeth.
"Sweetheart," says tho general, follow
ing to th' loom ncross th' uneven floor, "wilt
wed with mcf Thou must go with thy linen."'
"My dry tongue let me talk not, but lovo
and loj-alty to our mother stirred Robert.
"Gen. Moulton," taid he, with a flaming
face, "dost know who thon'rt asking? Hamp
ton doth set us apart," saith he bitterlie.
"And why?'' said tho general fiercely.
"Thy mother could not hurt a'llca common
lie. "Who can say what ho will doe in a fear
ful peril! Sho will be my mother and sho
will come and see us happy; it may tend to
make her toe. Ay," saith he, "sweet Rose,
wile como upon the hill, thou and th' mother
and Robert"
Robert looked at mo jealously. "I shall
earn a man's wage i the year," he muttered
tremulously. 'Twas not a moment! and yet
wo did read each th' other i' that glance.
Ho dropped his eyes.
"Rose is good," camo quietly, yet to start
one, from th' settlo where my mother Kit in a
strange, uumanuerlio silence. "And thou art
good to lovo our poore Ro3e my girl that
hath no gear but a mother's shamol" and sho
hid her thm face, trembling and tcarleso.

Rut once, a wild looking man came for en

cups of amber drink in th' porch I did beg
him for my fortune.
"Thou hast had u strango one," saith he,
viewing mo strangely. "Thou art hero i' the

But I pestered and ould not be gainsayed.
But, at lust, up waves ho his empty cup.
"Look, an thou must!"' saith he. "Thy will
must be my law m thine own house."'
Alack! tho rims of tho cup expanded and
parted, and there was my husband sitting m
my fayre room, but wrinkled, and a hand
some girl hung about him. Then all became
blurred Iiko an image i' a stirred pool, and I
was but staring into th' cup.
"Thy husband is to be twice matched,"
said the man grimly, and with a mocking
reverence.
1 wish I had not looked in th' cup. And
yet th' black art is fiend's pleasure. God
rules. And still, would I had not this to
think of; for I love th' day and my houso
and th' ordering o' my maids.

I heard lately an anecdote which depicts

lino and generous naturo of Frederick Gower.
In his youthful days a wealthy citizen in his
native place, a small town In 2few England,
interested himself greatly in the future of the
bright, intelligent boy, and furthered with
his influence- and advice young Gower's ef
forts to acquire a thorough education. Years
passed and the young man, who had in the
meantime become the possessor of a hand
some fortune, returned to the homo of his
boyhood and sought out his former bene
factor, whom he found' in greatly reduced
circumstances and struggling -under a load of
debt. "Is there anything I can do for youF'
asked Mr. Gower.
"Yes. was the response, "I have mort
gaged my remaining property very heavily
and at an exorbitant rare of interest. If you
will take the mortgages in your own bands
and suffer me to pay you simply legal in
terest, it will be a great accommodation to
me and you will lese nothing by it.

A Sltull for a "iVatcr Eucket.
That was a terrible story coming from
North Queensland about a man who was lost
in the bush. He used up all his water, and
then dropped his "billy" in the agony of his
thirst. By and by, fortunately, hs camo to
a water hole, where he slaksd his thirst and
found the read again. Ho had still some
thirty miles to go, howover, and ho had
nothing whatever to carry water in. Of
course it would havo been madness to at
tempt to travel thirty miles on foot under a
North Queensland sun without any water, so
his ready invention came to his aid. Ho had
been horrified a short dktanca back by tho
skeleton of a man who had evidently been
dead several years. He went back and got
the skull, plugged up the eyeholes with clay
and filled it with water. Ho then tramped
that thirty miles on tho water contained in
the skull ! Can any novelist imagine a more
ghastly and frightful idea than this, for
which wo can vouch? Pall Mall Gazette
A Horse Teeclins Apparatus.
A citizen of a western town, of an inven
tive turn of mind, concluded that it involved
too much labor on his part to rise early every
cold morning and trot out to tho barn to feed
the family horse. So he purchased two tons
of oats, had them placed in a bin over tho
horse's stall and connected the manger and
tho bin by means of a chute terminating in a
hopper. To tho hopper he attached a valvo
controlled by electricity, and so arranged
that, w hen operated, a single feed of oats
would run into tho manger Ho ran his wires
into the kitchen and connected them with a
push button. Tho family wer charmed with
the arrangement, and quito envied him the
pleasure of feeding tho family pet. After a
fow days peculiar noises began to issuoXrom
tho barn, and, upon investigation, poor Pega
sus was found to be fairly swimming in twe
tons of A 1 oats, no was dug out, and the
valve which worked so well was consigned to
oblivion. Now York Star.

One of tho women who brings the manners

On may not agree with her: in fact, one
may hold quite an opposite opinion; but, after
all, one never minds hearing what she thinks,
because she gives her opinions so sweetly and
without tho leant expression of antagonism.
Her hearers know what she believes; but
while she has asserted her views, sho has not
attacked theirs. Sho has a raro tact that is
