HELP FOR RUSSIANS.
Tbe Belief Movement for the Destitute
Benches Wouilcifnl Proportions.
/
St. Paul, Dec. *9. —The movement
which was inaugurated scarcely a month
ago by the State of Minnesota, to fur
nish relief to the suffering millions in
Russia, has grown to wonderful propor
tions. It has extended to other states,
and even to the national Capitol, com
manding the attention of governors,
officials in high position, and the people
at large, poor and rich. The movement
is already an assured success, and the
reports that are’ being received daily
promise to make Cit one of the
greatest events of 1891. Thou
sands upon thousands of suffering
Russians will have good reasdn to
thank the providence that has so bounti
fully blessed the Northwestern states so
that their citizens are enabled to give
from their abundance to alleviate the
sufferings of another country.
The funds from the state of Minne
sota alone will beyond any doubt reach
the sum of SIO,OOO in cash, which will
he expended in breadstuff*. and the do
nations jn grain and flour will probably
amount to fully 6,000,000 pounds. Of
this latter amount 1,500,000 have al
ready been secured.
THE GROWING OF HEMP.
An Agricultural Bureau Man Tells What
He Knows About It.
Washington, Dec. 29.—1 n speaking
of the advance in cordage, Charles
Richards Dodge, of the agricultural de
partment, said that if the fanners of
this country would grow hemp more
extensively no eombination could exist
and unreasonable prices could never be
maintained. The hemp substitutes that
are imported are easily monopolized,
owing to the long distance they have to
be brought and the lack of competition.
American hemp is as strong as the best
manila twine and can be produced for 4
cents a pound. It works just as well
on harvesting machines as the other.
This country is now producing about
ten thousand tons of American hemp
annually, but the amount ought to be
increased to 100,000 tons. The most is
grown in Kentucky. Considerable is
produced in Wisconsin and a little in
Minnesota. The two last named are
capable of producing it in unlimited
quantities. The imports of sisal from
Yucatan amount to $50,000 a year.
There is no doubt that the Florida fibre
will prove fully equal to it for cordage.
DROWNED IN MID-OCEAN.
Four of the Crew of the steamship Ocean
Queen Swept Overboard.'
Norfolk, Va„ Dec. 2^. —Captain
Hopkins, of the British steamer Ocean
Queen, which has just arrived, reports
having encountered a terriffic gale in
mid-ocean on Monday, Dec. 21. Four
of the crew were lost.
Captain Hopkins reposts that on the
next morning he sighted a large ocean
steamer flying signals of distress. The
vessel to all appearances was a passenger
steamer, bound from Liverpool to New
York. Owing to a dense fog the Ocean
Queen was unable to go to her rescue.
When the fog lifted nothing more was
seen of the distressed steamer. A ships
compass, encased in cork, was picked
up afterward. Captain Hopkins is
positive that the steamer was wrecked.
MOONSHINERS KILLED.
Desperate Battle Between United itatea
Marshals and Outlaws.
Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 29. —On Sand
mountain in DeKalk county, a desperate
pitched battle took place between a
posse of twelve deputy United States
marshals, under the leadership of Deputy
Robert Charleson, and a party ef moon
shiners. During the night the officers
had quietly surrounded a noted illicit
distillery and after daylight made an at
tack on it. The distillery was snr
rounded with rock walls provided with
port holes out of which guns were
pointed. Over one hundred shots were
fired in the battle that followed. The
officers were repulsed and driven off,
Kirk and Sprouse, two noted moon
shiners, were killed and Dep ity Jack
son fatally wounded. The officers went
to Fort Payne where they will procure
dynamite and return and blow up the
distillery.

' i S° wrote th®
■ with re S re -'"
iIK fnl tears in every
■ fim ( r 'Hi'■M word, and so have
hearts moaned,
,/ W-"’hen quivering
' lips could not
/ put into meter
and rhyme the thoughts which lay
heavy upon them. It has been true al
ways, and the poet wrote of no new dis
covery; he merely put words to the old,
old chords in a minor key, which have
beaten upon the sounding boards of
men’s and women's hearts since men and
ramen were.
If one who had been interested in
them had asked John Marston and Mary
Palvey why they were no longer friends,
as they had been since childhood, neither
she in her quiet home in New England,
nor he in the active, thriving western
town could have given a definite answer.
They would have made the attempt, of
course, each according to the light pos
sessed, for who has ever known lovers
who quarreled to be unable to give a
most explicit and satisfactory explana
tion—to themselves —of the course of
tnelr estrangement, carefully omitting
none of the factors making the integer
of their alienation?
Marston was quite positive in his own
mind that Mary had been entirely too
whimsical for any sane man to tolerate
for a moment, much less a lifetime, and
Mary was quite as sure in her mind that
John Marston was the most perfectly
outrageous man she had ever met in the
whole course of her existence.
Observe, gentle reader, that these two
people were sure "in their minds” of this
thing. What degree of certainty was
registered in their hearts will appear
later.
Be it as it may, the years had crept
along slowly enough, until as many as
three lay between the New Year’s day
when John had turned his back on the
east and Mary and the one which, God
willing, was to find him once more un
der the old roof where he had known all
that the world seemed to have for him,
until this unkindly parting had sudden
ly flung him into such a chaos of un
known things that at first he wandered
about among them as one bewildered and
blinded by a great shock.
In it all, however, and through it all,
the spirit of the girl he had left behind
him shone as a soft light in a misty at
mosphere, and do what he would, her
face came ever between him and the
faces of all other women.
He flirted with the pretty maidens of
the west, of course; be would scarcely
have been a man if he had not, but he
was proof against all their womanly
wiles and willingness, and they had him
listed as “heartless,” but he only smiled
at that and went on his way untouched,
but not unfeeling.
Now, when he was on the point of re
turning to the place of beginning, they
saw a bit of newer sunlight in his face,
a tenderer look from his eyes than any
of them had ever won from him, and
some said that it might be Mr, Marston
was not such an emotional Gibraltar as
they had fancied him to be.
He got away at last, and in the rattle
of the train and the whirt of the wheels
the west began to fall away backward
along the straight lines of steel stretch
ing across the prairie, and Marston
dreamed of the east.
The east, where the sun rose—would
it ever rise again?
In the little New England town among
the hills, up to its knees in the snow,
there was the usual holiday hilarity, not
pnmixed with that intangible sadness
which ever falls about and infolds the
days of the dying year, Christmas had
come and gone, and the children were as
happy as children only are at Christmas,
and the older grown were drawing their
dividends of enjoyment as well from
Santa Claus and the season.
New Year’s was following fast upon
(he crispy heels of the departing Santa
Claus, as a fitting tribute to the
time it was decided to bays ? “watch
meeting.”
Not an ordinary watch meeting, but a
big one—a union meeting in which the
congregations of the four churches of
the village were to unite and wait in
prayer for the going out of the old year
and hail with praise the coming in of
the new’.
John Marston, the village’s leading
representative abroad, was expected to
be there, and on New Year’s night he
was to have a grand party at the Mars
ton home, where all might welcome him
back again.
In the preliminary preparations Mary
Palvey was unusually active, if it ww
unusual for the busy little woman to be
active on any occasion of this kind, and
there was a cheery light in her face
which made her very presence warm,
albeit a flecking cloud fell athwart it at
intervals and left a shadow there.
For Mary’s head and her heart had
not been harmonious during the three
years gone, and more than one disagree
ment had arisen between them over this
same Marston-Palvey matter, and she
was at this very moment trying to settle
their last contention
W atch night came, and everybody was
there except John Marston.
“Train delayed,” they said at the rail
way station, ahd you know how much
further information is always obtaina
ble under such circumstances from rail
way officials.
As the night wore on and the watchers
grew more silent, the solemnity of the
hour seeming to descend upon the place
as a great weight, Mary could endure
it no longer. Quietly and unobserved
she slipped out into the open sir.
It was a relief to her, and she walked
away into the stillness under the voice
less stars, over the crisp and crystal
snow, until she came to the little chapel
at the edge of the town where on Sun
days she played the organ for the choir.
Unconsciously she turned into the
churchyard.
She knew where the sexton kept the
key under a corner of the step, and
opening the door, she passed in and down
the aisle to her accustomed place.
The chapel was not cold, for services
had been held there earlier in the even
ing, but she drew her heavy cloak about
her shoulders with a little shiver and sat
down on the organ stool.
But not with music or song in her
heart. - -
She had waited for John ah 4 he had
not come. *
She had longed for him and there was
no response.
'. She had wept for him, down there
among the watchers, and she was angry
with herself.
But here, alone in the silent darkness,
she bowed her head upon her hands and
prayed.
Prayed that he might come safely
home; prayed for him and for her.
Evidently Mary’s heart was triumph
ing over her head, but the end was not
yet.
It lacked but a few minutes until mid-
I—_ H R A . « e

"OH, JOHN!” SHE CRIED.
to the meeting, so that her absence might
not be observed and commented upon at
the conclusion of the services, when she
heard a man’s footfall on the steps out
side.
Her heart beat quick at first, for Mary
had read novels, and she knew that
lovers sometimes came to their sweet
hearts thus; but this was not the fearless
tread of a hero.
It was stealthy, so stealthy that if her
ear had not been accustomed to every
noise about the familiar old building she
might not have noted it.
It was a burglar, she was certain, af
ter that first heart thump, for it was
fenown the communion plate was of sil
ver and worth at least enough to tempt
a rural robber, and everybody knew the
strong box of the chapel was a strong
box only in name.
She was frightened nearly out of her
senses, but enough remained to warn
her that her only safety lay in hiding
behind the organ and giving the thief
the right of way to everything in his
path.
Slowly, she heard that dreadful step
Aliening along the aisle, creakimr as it
came, cue naa to exert every energy or
her will to keep from screaming, and the
slip—slip—creak—creak came nearer and
nearer.
At the end of the aisle it stopped, as if
in doubt which way to turn, and her
heart beat slower; then it passed, still
slipping, over to the other corner, and
she gave a faint sigh of relief.
She couldn’t have prevented it if she
had died for it, she was certain.
On the instant the sickening, awful,
invisible stepping ceased; then it seemed
to turn toward her.
Nearer and nearer it came, until she
could hear the breathing, until the
bauds cautiously groping in the dark
slid along the organ top and touched
her,
She shrank away, but there was a
quick start and two great hands clutched
her, and their fingers crawled up to her
throat.
She tried to scream then, but she
could not.
It was as if she was in a frightful
nightmare.
"Hold on! I’ve got you, you darned
thief!” came a voice, suppressed and ter
rible, and with it came the last remain
ing vestige of poor Mary’s wits.
"Oh, John!” she gasped.
Then she fainted dead away.
“Well, if this don’t beat all!” ex
claimed the marauder out of the dark
ness. Then: “Mary, Mary!” he called,
shaking her vigorously. "Scared the
poor girl to death,. Til bet a corner lot,”
he soliloquized in a ludicrously fright
ened voice, with the vernacular of the
east and the west contending for mastery
in his words.
He picked her up, now almost as nerv
ous as she had been only a few moments
before, and carried her outside.
He looked down upon the still, white
face as the light from the snow shone
upon it, and with a great bound in his
heart he stooped and kissed her,
Then how all the little stars did
twinkle, twinkle, and Mary opened her
eyes.
The next moment she was on her feet
and mad,
Mary’s head was triumphing now.
“Come,” she said, “there’s a watch
meeting at the hall, Mr. Marston, and I
should be there; not here.”
“With your hand in mine, Mary,” he
answered her, standing fast.
She put her hand in his then, and thus
they walked back, and as the watchers
rose from their knees with a song of re
joicing and praise, John and Mary, hand
iq hand, came in with the new year.
“It’s funny,” said Mrs. Marston a
month later on the local train west,
“that John should have noticed the
chapel door ajar on his way from the
depot tliat night, and thinking a thief
was inside had come in and caught me
there, wasn’t it?”
“Yes'rn," responded the conductor,
who had known her from childhood,
“and if I hadn’t been late that night
there’s no telling what wouldn’t have
happened either, is there?”
And there isn’t.
