W
II13N tho British and Tories
attacked Now llnvoti, Conn.,
mid sut n prlco on tho head of
GovwnorUrlHwold tho latter fled to tho
town of Iyino, whero his cousin, Mrx.
Marvin, hid him for uomu diiya In n
farinliotiHO, But nt length tho foo dlH
covered Ills retreat, and one uuntiy nf
tcrnoon In May hu was routed front his
lildliif pluco by tho tldlngn that a baud
of hoiHeuicu wujj iippro'uchlug to cui
turo hltn.
Ills only eliauco of viicnpo was to
renuli the mouth of a little ureek which
emptied Itself Into tho Connoctlcut
ltlvcr Just above the entrance of the
latter Into I.uiik Island Sound. There
lio had a boat stationed, with two faith
ful attendants, hidden beneath the high
banks of the creek.
The distance from tho farmhouse to
the boat was two miles of the usually
traveled road. But a little path across
tho fanner's orchard would bring him
to the road only a mile from tho boat
and, save a ijuarter's length, of Ills
earful run for life,
Just where tho narrow path from, the
orchard opened Into the road Hetty
Marvin sat bleuclilug her household
linen. Tho long web of forty tulles or
more, which was diligently spun and
woven during the long winter mouths,
was whitened lu May and thus made
ready for use.
The business of blenching was well
economized, being usually done by tho
younger daughters of the family, who
wore not old enough to spin or strong
enough for the heavier work of tho
kitchen or tho dairy.
Tho roll of linen was taken by tho
fnrmor or his stout "help" to a granny
plot besldo a spring or meadow brook.
There It was thoroughly wetted and
spread upou the given turf to take the
best heat of tho sun by day and tho
dew by night. The little maiden who
tended to It would sit near It.
Thus sat Hetty Marvin, tho young
daughter of Governor Urlswold'u
cousin, when her hunted friend sprang
past her Into tho road to escape his pur
Mucra. Hetty was a timid child of
about 12 years, yet thoughtful and wise
beyond any of her elders. She was
frightened by tho headlong haste with
which tho Governor rushed across tho
meadow. But sho quickly comprehend
1 tho scene and Instantly quieted her
faithful Towser, who, though a friend
of the family guest, thought It becom
ing to bark loudly nt his hurried foot
teps.
Her wise forethought arrested tho
Governor's notice and suggested u
chemo to elude his pursuers,
"Hetty," he Maid, "1 am Hying for my
life, and unless 1 can reach my boat be
fore 1 am overtuken 1 am u lost man.
You see tho road forks here. But you
must tell thoso who are chasing mo that
l have gone up tho road to catch tho
mall wagon, which will soon bo along,
you know. Then they will turn off tho
other way."
"Oh, cousin," said tho little girl lu an
agony of distress, "I cannot tell a lie
Indeed I cannot. Why did you tell
which way you were going?"
"Hetty, child, surely you would not
feotray me to my death T Hark I they are
comlngl I hear tho click of their
horses' feet. Oh, Hetty, tell them I
liavo gouo up the rond Instead of down,
and heaven will bless you."
"Heaven never blesses thoso who
apeak falsely, But I will not tell them
which way you go, even If they kill "mo.
So run as quickly a possible."
"It's of no use. Unless 1 cau deceive
them 1 am u dead mau."
"Cousin, cousin, hide under my wob
f cloth. They'd never think of looking
tlicro for you. Come, get down us
quickly aa you can, and I'll cover you
and staud sprinkling my linen."
Angry that their expected prey had
caipod from the house whore they
ioped to secure him, tho six mounted
Tories, headed by a British ofllcer,
dashed aloug the road In swift pursuit.
At sight of tho girl In the meadow the
leader of the party paused.
"Child," he said sternly, "have you
eeu a man running hereabouts"
"Yes, air." replied Hetty, trembling
And flushlug.
"Which way did he go?"
"1 promised not to tell, sir."
rX IIC
"But you must or take the conse
quences." "I said I wouldn't tell If you killed
me," sobbed tho frightened girl.
"I'll have It out of her!" excialmed
the furious ofllcer with an oath.
"Ict me speak to her," said his Tory
guide. "I know the child, I believe.
Isn't your namo Hetty Marvin V hi
asked pleasantly.
"Yes, sir."
"And. this man that ran by you a few
minutes ago Is your mother's cousin,
Isn't ho?"
"Yes, sir, he Is."
"Well, wo are friends of his. What
did he say to you when ho canu
along?"
"Ho told me that he wo fleeing foi
his life."
"Just bo, Hetty; thnt was very true.
I hopo ho won't have to fly far. Where
was he going to hide? You see I could
help him If I knew his plans."
Now, Hetty was not a whit deceived
by this smooth speech. But she wan
willing to tell as much of tho truth u
would be consistent with his safety, and
sho judged thnt her frankness would
savo her klnsmnn better than her sil
ence, so she answered her questioner
candidly:
"My cousin said ho wns going down
to tho river where he had a boat and
wanted mo to tell the men that were
chasing lilmtbat he had gone the other
wny to catch. the mall wagon."
"Why didn't you do as ho told you,
then, when I asked you where he had
gouo?" thundered the ofllcer llercely.
"I could not tell a lie, sir," was tin
tearful answer.
"Hetty," again began tho smooth
tongued Tory, "you are n nice child.
Everybody knows you nre a girl of
truth. What did your couslu suy when
you told him you could not tell u false
liood?"
"Ho said he shouldn't think I'd betray
him to his death?"
"And you promised him thnt yau
wouldn't tell which way ho went If
you were killed for ft?"
"Yes, sir."
"That was bravo; and I suppose he
thanked you for It and ran down the
rond as quickly as possible?"
"I promised not to tell whero he went,
sir."
"Oh, yes, I forgot. Well, tell us his
last words, and wo won't trouble you
any more."
"Ills last words were, 'It's my only
chance, child, and I'll get down us you
say.' "
And, overcome with fright ami the
bouse of her kinsman's danger should
they rightly Interpret the language
which she had reported, she sobbed
aloud and hid her face from sight.
Her tormoutors did not stay longer to
soothe or question her. They all Imme
diately pushed rapidly on down to the
river.
Now, tho Governor had arranged a
signal with his boatman Unit n white
cloth by day or a light by night tils
played from the attic window of his
hiding place, which was Just visible at
the mouth of tho river, should Inform
them If he were In trouble and put them
on the alert to help him.
As soon, therefore, as he started from
his cousin's, It floated from the window
to warn them. And when they saw tho
pursuing party dash madly down the
road to the river ami recognized the
British uniform of the leaders they
pulled swiftly out to sea. The horbe
men reached the shore only lu season
to see the boat with two men hi It near
ly out of sight, and, supposing their
destined prey had escaped, relinquished
tho pursuit.
Meanwhile the victim lay safe and
quiet where the shrewdness of tho little
couslu had hidden, him until tho time
camo for her return for supper. Then
ho bade her go us usual to her home,
telling her to ask her mother to place
tho signal lamp as soon us It grew dark
In the window for tho boatmen and
send hint soma supper, with his valise,
which, lu the hurry of his departure, ho
had loft behind.
Tho signal had recalled the boat,
which after twilight' had ventured lu
sight of tho shore aud farmhouse, and
tho Governor quietly made his way to
tho river In safety. When he rejoined
his father In a secure home he mimed
his Infant daughter, which hal been
lmrti In his nlwence, Hetty Marvin, that
ho might bo dally reminded of the little
couslu whoso truth and shrewdness
saved his life. Exchange.
Ills Denomination.
Three men ouce stepped up to a noted
revivalist, at tho close of oue of his
evening meetings and asked him to de
cide a polut concerning which they had
been disputing.
"Ouo of my friends here," said the
spokesman, "contends that you ure a
Baptist-"
"Why does ho think I am a Baptist?"
Interrupted the evangelist.
"Because he has seen you assisting
enthusiastically at a baptism by Im
mersion, My other friend Is equally
sure you are a Methodist"
"Why?"
"Well, he has heard you say amen!'
with much fervor when some good
Mothodlst brother has been praying. I
dlffor with both. I say you are either
a Congregatlonallst or a Ptvsbyterlnu."
"Why so?"
"Well, I notice you always stand
when you pray,"
"My brother," was tho reply, "I have
almost forgotten, but I think each one
of you is right. I belong to all four
of those denominations."
This, lu the larger seuse, was doubt
less true.

How I'rlnccK Are Pnnlahed.
That there Is no whipping boy In
Germany was evidenced the other day
when the empress sent her eldest son,
tho future emperor, from the tnblo on
account of his rudeness. Tne prince,
It appears, was unmannerly to a young
er brother, and the empress, turning to
tho French tutor, who on thnt occasion
had charge of the princes, said:
"Monsieur, I bog thnt you will ask
me to excuso his royal highness, tin'
prince."
The tutor begged that the prince be
excused, anil that young gentleman wns
forced to leave the table without lln
Ishlng his meal. It Is well known that
tho royal boys of Germany have had
to grin and bear ninny n sound flogging
administered by tho Impcrlnl hand,
along with n vast deal of discipline
from governors, tutors, ptc.
A different stato of affairs this from
tho tlmo when a boy was kept to bo
punished Instead of a prince.. In Eng
land such n youth was called the whip
ping boy, and n famous English artist,
W. A. Stncey, paluted a portrait of
Prince Edward, afterward Edward V!.,
trying to defend his whipping boy from
a Hogging which he himself deserved.
In those dnys a prlncewho was to
bo n king wns looked upon nnd trented
as a person of great Importance. Ills
person was held to bo sacred, and so
It would nover have dono to punish
him. If an English prince missed his
lessons, was rude to his teachers, or
committed nny of the other naughty
tricks common to saucy children his
whipping boy was flogged. Cleveland

Her Answer.
I studied my tnbles over and over and
backward and forward, too.
But I couldn't remember six times nine,
and I didn't know what to do
Till my slater told me to play with my
doll and not to bother my head.
"If you call her 'Fifty-four' for awhile,
you will learn It by heart," she said.
So T took my favorite, Mary Ann, though
I thought 'twas a dreadful shame
To give such a perfectly lovely child such
. a perfectly borrld name,
And I called her my little "Fifty-four" a
hundred times, till I kuew
The answer of six times nine as well aa
the answer of two times two.
Next day Elisabeth Wlggleaworth, who
always acta so proud,
Bald, "six times nine is fifty-two, and I
nearly laughed aloud.
But I wished I hadn't when the teacher
said, "Now, Dorothy, tell If you
can."
For I thought of my doll. hiI-uIh
allvel I answered, "Mary Ann!"!

A STRANGE CITY.
Where the Ininne Find Welcome, Good
Treatment uml Cure.
The little city of Ghee), In Belgium,
Is a resort' for demented people. Ac
cording to n legend thnt has had, and
even at tho present dny still hns, much
weight with tne peasantry of Belgium,
the city started as follows:
Many centuries ago, on the site where
Gucci now stands, an insane father
murdered his lovely young daughter.
A Bhrlne was erected to her memory
nnd was called "Saint Dymphnn."
Tho belief arose thnt Saint Dymphnn
particularly favored the Insane, nnd did
miraculous things for them; lu conse
quence, hundreds of Insane people were
yearly brought to her shrine that she
might Intercede with God for their res
toration. Oftentimes many of the unfortunates
lingered around the shrine for mouths
at a time, llunlly It became a permanent
abiding place for many, aud gradually
a city camo Into existence. It now has
n population of about ten thousand, aud
at least every fourth resident Is Insane.
The Insane that come to them ure not
lodged lu asylums; those not easily
managed nre taken en re of In suburban
cottages, and tho mildly Insane, board
with the private families of tho city.
Very few of them aro under restrictions
of any nature, and they nre met with
everywhere lu the city, wulklng nbout
with entire freedom.
The coming of nn Insane boarder Into
a Gheel family Is made a gala-day af
fair. Every member of the fnflly
dresses for tho occasion,, the house Is
beautifully decorated, nnd n card, bear
lug tho word "welcome" In large, bright
letters, Is placed lu a conspicuous place.
The head of the family Introduces the
newcomer ns "friend" or "relative,"
and nfter a warm greeting there Is a
banquet and a general good time. ,
Next dny the bonnier goes to work
with other members of the family, for
to keep the Insane employed Is n part
of tho treatment. However, they nre
never compelled to work. Unmnnage
ablo patients are coaxed Into doing
what Is thought best for them. Under
no circumstances Is an Insano person
Irritated or dealt with harshly In tho
city of Gheel. Nor aro they ever
spoken of as being lusanc or lunatics;
they nre called either "luuocents" or
"friends."
They arc given nn abundance of
plain, substantial food, plenty of out
door exercise, und are In every wny
trented lu tho most humane wny. As a
result, tho statistics show that ht least
00 per cent of the patients go away
cured, nnd the Incurables aro almost In
variably greatly beuellted.
When you visit Belgium don't fnl to
sec the strange city of Gheel. It Is but
a short distance from Antwerp.
Felt Ilia Superiority.
"This man, your honor, was abusing
every policeman he came across," teatl
tied an ofllcer before Justice Martin In
prosecuting a hungry looking Individ
ual who had been taken Into custody
tho previous , eveulng. "We tried to
avoid placing him uuder arrest, but he
continued his abuse until It could not
bo endured any longer."
"What was the worst thing ho' called
you?" Inquired the court. .
"lie said, your honor," was the offi
cer's reply, "that he was so much su
perior to any officer ho had ever seen
that he would not notice them."
The Justice looked at the hungry-appearing
Individual before him aud ask
ed If ho had uttered this slauder against
the police officer,
"Yes, your honor," said the prisoner,
"and I repeat It I never knew a pollct
officer that was. not a scoundrel, aud In
this one respect I am superior to all
of them, I can give them cards and
spades when It comes to separating an
Individual from his money."
