'HIDE ME
AWFUL FALL
F'ROM HALLO OJf.
Original.
The waves were coming in huge
liills. striking the rocks beneatb the
lighthouse nnrt bronlung over it in
clouds of sm-ay. From a cottage set
just beyond the reach of the highest
monster u voting girl descended to the
entrance of the tower and was about
to enter when, looking aside, she saw
a man coming or, rather, running
along the narrow roadway. When he
came up there was a wild, hunted look
In his eyes, a look that excited all the
iity of her tender young heart.
"Hide me!" he gasped.
She did not wait to hear his reasons,
but, placing a key she 'held in her bnn-1
In a door opening into the lighthouse,
unlocked it and motioned the man to
follow her. Mounting a circular stall
way, she led the way to the light room.
"llere you will be safe," she said.
"I was coming to light the lamps when
you appeared. No one is allowed in
this tower except the keeper, my fa
' ther. lie is away at present, and I
am taking his place. When I go down
I will lock the door below, which is of
iron and nut easily forced. Besides,
uo one would dare to force an entrance
into a place owned by the govern
ment." While she spoke she was lighting the
lamps, casting glances at the stranger
and following his eyes out to where
be was watching for his pursuers. He
was young and would have been hand
some were It not for his haggard ap
npn ranee. As soon as the last lamp
.was lighted the girl passed out of the
room, and as she aid so tne man
onncrlit her hand and kissed It, but
epoke no word. A few minutes later
the bolts on the door below shot for
ward. The girl dropped the key in a
crevice of the rock and hurriea on up
to the cottage.
She had barely iime to sit down bj
window and take up some sewing
when two men appeared and stopped
at the cottaire.
"Have vou seen a man pass here,"
asked one of them, "a good looking
young fellow, with a crazy look in his
eye? lie has escaped from a lunatic
asylum, and we got on the track just
below here. There's a big reward or
fered for him a thousand dollars."
The eirl's decision must be made in
etantly. if the man was a lunatic
there was every reason for her to sur
render him both for the good of socle
ty and his own welfare. Besides, a
thousand dollars was to her a sum far
beyond what she had ever dreamed of
possessing. On the other bang, might
not these men be misstating the truth
in order to Induce her to surrender on?
whom they were endeavoring to take
for some infraction of the law, or
might they not have some private rea
son for persecuting him?
"No," she said without a moment's
hesitation.
"Now, see here, little girl," said the
nnknsmnn. "the Datient could not pos
sibly get beyond this point, and you're
hldlnir him. Here is my Daage as a
keeper of the Insane asylum,, and
vou need have no doubt that If you sur
render him you will only be doing o
dutv. Resides, think of the reward."
"He hasn't been here," said the girl
' without a blush at the falsehood
"I see that we shall have to take the
case into' our own hands," said the
man. And he stalked through the cot
tage, looking in every corner, closet
and under every bed. There were but
balf k dozen rooms in all, and no great
time was required to prove that the fu
gitive was not in the house. Then the
mail turned to the lighthouse. Cross
ing the road, he went to the door and
finding it locked, demanded the key.
"My father took It away with him.
said the girl.
There was a sound of wheels on tin
road, and a man in a buggy drove u
to the lighthouse. Ho was an arlsto
eratlc looking man, though of a diasi
rated appearance, about lifty years 01
age.
"Well?" ho asked, looking at tin
men.
"We've tracked him here. I think
this girl has hidden htm In the light
.bouse. She says her father has taken
Jthe key away."
The man in the buggy looked fiereelj
t the girl and, reaching back to his
bip, drew a revolver and pointed It at
ber.
"Go and unlock that door," he suld
or dlel"
, In one way at least the girl's work
was from this time easier. Mie matt
up her mind that the fugitive was not
wanted for a legal purpose, but Mi
soino kind of persecution. She stood
looking into the man's eyes, apparent
lv unmoved. I.owerlnc the pistol. In
offered to pay her $3,000 If she would
surrender the man they wanted. Ihls
bad no more effect-than his threat.
The man looked at her searehingly for
a moment, then said to the other two:
"She's not hiding him. No girl could
stand such tests. He must have gone
on. Come." And, whipping his horse,
be disappeared, followed by the keep
crs on foot.
In one of the Splendid country seats
on tho eastern end of Long Island
dwells a gentleman who when a young
man was through the instrumentality
of his uncle, who was next lu heirship
to his nephew's largo estate, adjudged
Insane and confined lu a lunatic asy
lum There is a story current that he
escaped and was hidden by his wife,
an attractive woman, beloved by her
poors and the poor of tho neighbor
hood; that she was the daughter of a
lighthouse keeper, and the young man.
when ho had proved Ids sanity and se
cured his estate, took her from a cot
tage near the lighthouse and placed
ber in a mansion. lUit this all hap
pened so long ago that no one troutileo
himself about the lady's pedigree.

Grubbs in tellinir of the accident said:
"You know I am Sent up lu a five
foot shell that covers me completely.
This shell is attached to 'my big bal
loon, and we aim' to let it reach a
height of from 1,500 to 2,000 feet before
firing the explosives that shove me out
Into space.
"Before my parachute opens I drop
about 400 feet. After that the descent
Is comparatively easy unless 1 happen
to alight on Borne obstruction. That is
what happened.
"When my manager fired his revolv
er while standing on the ground, the
report of which 1 could plainly hear
even at that great height, I set off the
bomb that breaks the shell In which I
am rolled up and started for the earth
nt a frisrhtful soeed. The parachute
didn't check me as much as It usually
docs, and Instead of letting me flown
mist after the sheer 400 foot drop was
reached I was given a through ticket
and dashed aealnst The crossbars of
a telegraph pole. From there I fell to
the ground at tho feet of the people
who had been watching me."

FITNESS OF MEMBERS.
Character the Dent Credential, n
Fact Sometimes Overlooked.
The Order of Patrons of Husbandry
Is primarily and chiefly an organiza
tion of farmers and their families. It
Is intended to be helpful to them in
their practical, everyday farm life and
to make them, as well as all who may
be members of the Order, Intelligent,
useful citizens.
And vet bv a liberal interpretation of
the constitution of the Order many be
sides practical farmers are admitted
Into membership, where It is believed
their presence and Influence will
strengthen the grange and In no way
be antagonistic to ita purposes. How
ever, we believe the charter member-
'Bhlp should bo made up wholly of
farmers, tillers of the soli or landown
ers. This makes the organization
strictly an agricultural organization.
If then it be deemed best for those not
farmers to be admitted to member
shin the farmers have the right to say
who shall or shall not be allowed
"within the gates." One of the most
recently organized granees in New
York state had a charter membership
of 103, and every one was a farmer or
member of a farmers family, and it is
their purpose to continue as they have
begun. The example is worthy lmita
tlon.
On the auestlon of fitness for mem
bershiD the Grange Bulletin remarks
that the rule in the grange Is that the
master of the subordinate grange shall
1udce of the ellKiblllty of candidates
for membership, the members being
left to determine by ballot their suit
ability. In other words, it Is the right
and the duty of the master to say
whether the occupation of the appli
cant shuts him out of the class for
which the grange was established, and
it la the ritrht and the duty of the
members to say whether the character
of the anullcant Is such as to make
hlra undesirable. It la right that those
should be kept out of the grange
whose business has a decided tendency
to make them antagonistic to its pur
poses. , It is also right that evil per
sons should not be permitted to use
the organization as . a cloak for their
wickedness.
Every organization has an undoubt
ed rleht to protect itself against de
signing persons. ..The rules of the
grange give Its members ample oppor
tunity to keen Improper persons from
becoming members. But there seems
to be dancer that there is a good deal
of laxity In some granges in regard to
the ellcibllltv of candidates and a
great deal of severity In passing on
their fitness.

In the home and at school, the children
have their times of ill health and suffering.
We often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and twitch
ings of limbs and muscles. They complain of
headache, drowsiness, weariness, dyspepsia,
and indigestion. All such symptoms and ail
ments mean that the seeds of disease will have
a fast and firm hold, unless proper measures
are taken to restore a perfect condition o!
health. . ,

"The writer regrets the necessity of lodging
complaint concerning your usual excellent service,
but In a friendly spirit begs to submit the follow
ing: Yesterday you sold me lower nine, car
three, on the Pioneer Limited. But you ne
glected to advise me that it would be necessary
i to have the porter waken me in the morning,
and as there was so little motion to the car I
overslept. I have covered a large era on some of
the other famous trains of the United States and
this is the first complaint of this character 1 have
made. I trust you will see to it in the future
that passengers are advised."
