In Indian di.v. said Lake lieorce folk, ft young chieftain named Black Kagle had there alu himself for love. He leaned his arrow upon a great rek and fell imon It. Then Instantly the b.nvl formed end caught his life stream, turning It to pure water; and upon till h'.t moi her laid a curse, willing th.r the apirlt of her won should hauu the spot forever, and that, ivioe weal or woe, all who looked vuh'n the bowl should kuow the truth. Sj It came to pas that on Hallow e'en and other haunted ulghts the Witch's Pool had come to be regarded by rotnautio' young people as fate' open book.

Then back to the pool she went again, skipping, ringing and snapping her linger from tin- sheer glee of being.

EICYCLE "asI'AsV AS A TRAIN. a rioetrle "Safety"" With It Own Motor Thirty Miles An Hour. The electrloblcycle Is among the probabilities. A'-Kew York Inventor has fahioned one and claims for it a speed of thirty miles an hour. A wheelman is very skillful who can cover seventeen milts an hour over an ordlnury road.- The petroleum bicycle had a trial In the read races for motor vehicles in France, but It was never in the race. The electrical bicycle weighs about sixty-four pounds. The motor is di rectly undt-r the scat. The battery-box Is the cumbersome feature. It rests on a small arm, which stands out from th3 frame, directly over the rear wheel. The box is about thirty-six Indies long and seven in depth. From the battery run two wires to the motor. A narrow leather belt connects the motor with the rear axle. Wires from the motor run along the upper bar of the frame to a graduating switch, near the handle-bar.' A lamp, throwing a reflec tion twenty feet, I connected with the motor, the' electricity serving the two fold purpose of light and power. The inventor is not sure but over thirty miles an hour can be made over a good road. This speed would be accompanied by great danger, of cour&e, should the rider fall olt. The Inventor says that he borrowed a friend's safety, fitted the Invention to it, and asked the owner to give it a trial. The wheel was tried "on the boulevard one morning at daybreak. The result was astonishing. The In ventor says the speed did not exceed twenty miles an hour. The man who rode the wheel is, willing to swear that ft was nearer two hundred miles. He didn't want to try it again. The in ventor purchased the machine from hlra and has since improved It MIXED" METAPHORS. The following choice bits of Journal ism are credited to a Tennessee paper.

' . . ... i ,1... tiit oi' lingering near nnmnu horse on wlweis. There was ..i -. thing wtmngely f-olnnt!nSr uhotu the dark-eyed ivore and hi vehicle. Sion loud talking wa heard In the covered wagon, and the two or three men who wet islanding near listened eloselv. The nienuerlst and hi nerv ant were ciuarivilng at high rate, and loth were evidently lu a great rage. Crveplng up U the wagon, the ntaiil..nt i..vred through a crack nnd by the light that burm-d within they ! saw the im.fcssor wated lu Hu end of the room and the negro utambng at the door hi the other end. They were quarreling alx.iit the iwitro's bnth.f. whom. It mm, he accused the pr..f--gr of killing. In another moment the climax came, and the negro, mnhlcn'.y drawing a. knife, started toward the mesmerist. Hi eye Hashed a he i-x-claimed: . , You killed my brother, and Put lie did not finish the sentence. Jtv thl time he wa half way aT.w the'little room, but he st.pi"'l sudden ly ai If fhut. The unsifted knife fell fVim hl hand, hi arm dropped nerve- ledy to hi ethle nnd hi fat relaxed from It fury ami iookcu u fVk'htened. Tii.mii who were on the outside lo,.kcd at the profeMfc.r. He was t; sitting, and hi eyes, which were fas te.ied on the eye of the i'egn, i:bwed like two coals of living un. lie bid caught the ticcns eye and held him then a It he wan chained. The nrofer ir arose slowly, nil the time looklm: hi servant In the evei. o,..l n.lvnii.-cd t.ovard him. He then fimtten-d fmn iinintelilglblo words, stroked him on he head several fines and told him to laugh nnd say ll wa all right. Th negro, obedient to order, threw up hi hind and clapped them mgetit ..f nnd then lauirhed loud ami long. "Oh. If all rifht." he said. "It's all right," and then lie would break out lu a loud laugh again. After he got iilui well under the In fiiicnco of the spell, th.? professor vtid "Now. Joe. since It' all right. want you to go down the rwid nod iiton .at the house we saw today llmli- eatl:i , It by name) aud stay tin re un HI I come." "If all right: If all right." said tin neero. as he went off laughing. Tin' men outside saw him start down the road. and. curious to know what he would do, followed him. lie went dlrecttv to the house mentioned, about a mile from the village, and sat down bv tho gate. The men wafehed him for several hour, but he did imt wiir. and It wad about daylight when they got back to town. They looked for the professor's vehicle, but in vain. He was gone While thev were away he had har nesed un his two horseH nnd depart ed In the darkne, No one saw him leave, or knew which direction he went. The men who had witnessed tho affair Itetween him and .lis? cann to the conclusion that he wa afraid when the negro recovered from the effect of the KM'1I he might, thirst for vonzennce. and. not winning to run the risk again of being killed, Sevok had left for parts unknown The next day tho negro wa.i still hintrblnif and saying, "If all right it's all right," but he had lost all rca sm and neiise. Various plan wen: tried to bring him out from under the infliioncB of the Htranire power, lint in vntn Vnr ivei-iil week the tihv wlelati worked on him, but not h!nj could bring back the light of reason that was so mysteriously obscured At las he wa taken before the court adludk'ed ltn.'i.ine-HS he verily was- and sent to tho asylum. He went off chuckling to hliiwolf, and saying, "It nil right: it's all right." About tlireo year after the occur rence related above, one of the young men who had leen an eyo-wltncs of It, and who was one of the .nherilT's deputies In the county, went up to the Irisano asylum to carry an Insane woman. While there, among other vis Itom to the institution he say Profes mr Narlo Kevole. The professor, of course, tild not remember who the young man was, oi that ha was from tho town of S , but there was no mlBtaking the pn!o face nnd dark, piercing eyes of the mosmorM. Wheth er ho had hoard that Joe was there, an In ma to of tho asylum, or had only happen'od there Incidentally, the dep uty never knew, P.ut, anyhow, he wa there, aud heard tho HUpei'lnliendciit tell the visitors, among other tiling, of tho negro man who had been hyi) notlssfid and had never come out from under tho wpell. Sevolo was Immediately Interested, and aked the superintendent to carry him to the negro's ward. The young deputy went with thorn. As wwm as the profciBBor put eyes on the darky ho recognized him as Joe. The negro wa tlll laughing at time and saying, "It's all right." After a hurrlwl con versa t.ion the keeper consented to let Sevoie make a trial on tho negro, a ho felt it could do no harm, They took him Into a room near by and locked tho doors. Tho negro, the keeper, tho profewmf and tha deputy ywro all who were present. - Sevole went up to the darky and muttered a few words, at the anm tlino, stroking him on the forehead. At first the negro only emid, "It's all right," but a Sevoto muttered the word again he seemed to listen, Tbon. as the stroke, were kept up his faco grew Interested and criou. lis no longer muttered or laughed, , Sevole stroked him harder, and as he gave a last pass and then ceased, the negro, w ho wa standing ln the center of the room, raised hi head, rubbed hi eye nnd looked H around, like one Jut awakening front lovp. At Hist ho tint not seem to nnnw what It all iiieaut. Then hi y lighted oil tho rofoetr, who tod ulili mile fnc befol llllll. A KkUI a ho aaw Hcvolo til eye hhhinhI to Hash lire.

On a table by hi side lliero wn. tinforttituitoly. an open knife, llo noised It, and before tho other know what had occulted, he sprang like a tiger at the ptofwr throat and with one rut nearly wvorvd tin lnad from tho Udy.
