INDIAN BOYS A3 FARMERS. tineas County ArlollarlU iJ Ttisy Mak 8lcnlll Klold Hands, The fanner of Duck county fay the Indian problem i solved. Two or throe year ago one of tlirm applied to the training school at Carlisle for an Indian boy to work In hi fields during the milliner. The school authorities Investigated the man's character, and tlicn sent Urn a young bravo who bad given Dp Lb toy tomahawk for spelling books and caronfor'i tools. At the end of the summer the farmer was so pleased that the next year be and several friends who owned farms near Wheat Sheaf, secured the services of other Indians, and tho number lias been Increased until about fifty of the copper lined youngsters bustled hoes and dug 'taters within a radius of ten miles from Tullytown and Whent Bheal One of those who has employed the Carlisle pnpils for several years Is John Carter, who lives ut the summit of Tur key bill, a couple of miles from Tully town. "The Indian boys I bad," be said, 'behaved themselves well." , J. W. Wright, of Wheat Sheaf, has also experimented with redskin help, and he Is very cntliufiastio about tne plan. 'Why, those boys from Carlisle are nlendid ." said Sir. Wright "Wo take thera foratonn of months or forayear, limt as we care to ami nee. only u we get them by the year they must be sent to school during tho whiter. The Car lisle people make no definite nrrango menU about pay ; we givo the boys from l to $13 a month and their board. They work hard and seem to take thu greatest delight In doing a job neatly. "Then they don't waste time; thero's no white boy 'slouch' to 'em. Give an Indian work and he'll bend down over It and stick thero until It's finished. They almost Invariably tell the truth, and the boys I have had never misbe haved. Then they are doubly valuublo as farm bands, beeaiiao nearly all the lads are masters of one or more trades, moll as carpentering, blucksuiithlng or harness niuking. We farmers up here would rutlicr have to work for us ono Carlisle boy than two white boys, such as grow upright hero In tho county." In Mr. Wright's iiilnd tho only de plorable hereditary trait that Is possess ed by tho young braves Is their love for finery. They cannot get wampum, beads, eagles, feather and red ochre, and they do not want Uicro Adjuncts to happiness. Hut their spore cash goes for nice clothing, now huts and becom ing ueckwear. Philudelpldd, Tress. Why rollllclmn Are Illg Mm. There Is no more trying business than politics. Men of long experience In the elections In New York watch the lead er of the different parties with an in terest that Is more or less growsotno. The steady, Interminable and violent wear and tear on tlio men who head tho big political movements tell on their looks, weiglit and manner so rapidly that the most sturdy constitu tions would break down under It If it were not for the short period during which the excitement lasts. The men who are so fond of tracing the subtle connection between the physical nppcartuice of man and bis mental oceiiatloiis should consider thai ono rcasou why the successful New York politician Is always repre sented as a broad shouldered, power fully built man, with a thick neck, a round head and a plentiful supply of strength is because about the only suo ecssful wnrd workers In town who are ablo to hold their own as the yean roll by must havo a strong physique. -New York Bun.

Nothing Is more conducive to sweet ness of breath, and consequently of general health of the mouth, than to brush the teeth regularly shortly before retiring, that all particles of food, as well as the natural secretions, may be removed. Castile soap Is the best which can be used for cleansing the mouth, with which a little magnesia may be employed; a solution of oil of peppermint In water makes au agree able and useful mouth wash; while a silken thread may be employed to cleanse the spaces between tho teeth which can be effectively reached In no other way.

Holbrook bad been restrained with difficulty, and Tom desired to get him into a cab. where lie could reason with him. Ills companion submitted, a cab was called, and the driver directed to go straight to Iolbrouk's odlce. When they were onco on their way Tom said. "I'm not sure that the best way is not to tell the police. 1 want to discuss It. I fear it Is not. The result of giving the matter to the police would be that a gen oral alarm would be given and tho bird take flight. I am positive wo are fol lowed.

"I have earned something wncn I navs got you to a point that you win arguo wilhuie.- f "Wliat do you uieunr "That your reason Is restored we want cool thought on this subject." Thus Tom, who was fighting for time, succeeded in gaining it The truth was. tho reporter was not altogether disin genuous or disinterested In the policy In was pursuing. Ho quickly realized thai any application to the police for assist ance must result in telling to the author ities everything they knew. Convinced as be was that the saoio hand thai struck down the brother had seized the sister, he felt that the discovery of tho girl would lead straightway to the di covery of the murderer. To give this matter into the hands of tho police would be to give them th means to unravel the crime of Us ion square, and they, not he, would have the credit of th detection and arrest. He was in momentary fear that Hoi brook would detect his purpose, and he was at his wit's end to furnish argument In favor of the position he had taken. His great trouble was that be could not suggest to himself, let alone Ilollirnok, a feasible plan of procedure if the matter were not given to the police, nor Indeed even invent a plausible ono. Time was the great desideratum, and tills, by all the ingenuity he could exer cise, he endeavored to gain. His task was made not an easy one by the impa tience of Holbrook. While thus arguing, talking, declaim lng and lecturing with Holbrook, Tom caught a glimpse of the bhadow stand lng upon the curhstono. and perceived mat tne enuiiow nud seen nun. He gave him a hasty signal to follow, and wo pleased to oliservo that it was recognized. Tliis incident afforded Tom another pretext, and thus, by dint of one device and another, ho succeeded in getting Holbrook to Ins ofllce. They both entered together. As they did so a clerk said: "There is Mr. Holbrook. Upon this a very dirty, a very ragged and a very small boy came up to Hol brook and asked: "lie you Mr. Holebookr "Yes," replied the lawyer, Holbrook."

If the truth be told, she was not displeased with the oppor tunity of siendiug an hour or two in the society of hor lawyer. His companion ship had become agreeablo to her, and though sho was fa from admitting to herself the Idea of any especial fondness for hliu, still the more sho saw of him tho more welcome his visits became. He was so strong, so comforting, and he knew just what was the riirht thing to do, and he had the faculty of lifting her mother rrora the contemplation of her griefs. When Annie arrived at the door of the surrogate's otllce a young man of gentle nun like apieitruiico stcpcd forward, and, lifting his hat, said: "I havo been waiting some time for you, Miss Templeton, and quite impa tiently."

"Yes, Miss Templeton, and entirely at rour service.

Hero is a carriage I have had in waiting for you. The concocters or the design agauiai Annie's freedom had evidently counted upon her ignorance of the methods of conducting business, for while to almost ifiv one experienced n the world this h oull have proved but a clumsy device. yet, directed against an unsophisticated creature like Annie, its very simplicity nd transparency made it the moro skill fuL It Is true that after eutering the car- . .. - i i i i . : riage, and ttiier sne iibu iiu uuiu w make a furtive examination of the young man who had taken the seat opposite her, she had mentally concluded that she did not like him, and that he seemed to be everything else than a gentleman, though he dressed like one and assumed the speech of one. Thero were certain dens which influenced her judgment, they do that of most womta. His hands were unmistakably dirty, ana ins nnger nails were in mourning. A malo observer, esiieciallv If slangy a-ouhl have said that the young man had teen on a "bat" the night before; his auir was harsh and tangled, though well ailed; the inflamed rims of his eyes, his parched lips, and the heavy puffs like cushions under his eyes, would have thown this, if a plain odor of gin cock 'jills. above the breath heavy with the flavor of cloves and roast coffee beans. had not told the tale. But Annie was not experienced In such things, and she gave little heed to one who. after ail. was nothing to her merely an Instrument of Mr. Holbrook. She did wonder, however, why It was that ho had gotten a coach so close, and ono in which there were such small win dows. It was so stuffy. The young man did not obtrude himself. He was appar ently busy with memoranda and papers. Once he lifted his head to say that It was necessary for them, in order to make quick trip, to pass through a disagree able portion of the town. To this the made no renlv. Finally they turned into the street, the dirt of which passed all comprehension uixn her part. Children seemed to swarm on the side walks; women, often drunk even at that early hour, and clothed in rags, talked and quarreled on the sidewalks and on the stoops of the squalid dwellings. 8he became interested in the scene, novel to her, and leaned forward to look from the window. She did not notice iTiut the young man had drawn the cur tain over the window on the opposite side of the coach. lie broke the silence that had con tinued for some timo: "I Is'g you will excuse me, Miss Templeton. 1 know it is not the proer tiling to do, but 1 am suffering greatly with my eyes this morning. Have 1 your permission to apply a lotion to themr Wondering at the strangeness of the request, Bhe nevertheless murmured her fiermission, and turned again to the street. He drew his handkerchief from his pocket and then a bottle, with the con tents of which he plentifully saturated the handkerchief. Before she could realizo what was be ing done the young man snapped a spring, the curtain shot up over the window in front of her, she was forced back on the cushions with a vigorous push on her shoulder, tho handkerchief was closely pressed on her nose and mouth, and, though she struggled ineffectually for a timo, uuablo to make a noise, she soon lost all consciousness. CHAPTER XXX. ANNIE MAKES AM ACQUAINTANCE, L HEN Annie nest was conscious of external things, she wai lying upon a rough bed. Sharp pains were shooting through her head and an intolerable thirst consumed her. "Water," she murmured. "Slip's coming to," said a voice, seem ingly from a great distance, which nev ertheless fell upon her ear with a strangely familiar sound. A cup was pressed to her lips, and she drank eagerly. "bhe 11 do now, and I'll go," said tho same voice, A moment later she beard a, few steps, and a door open and close, Sho opened her eyes. A man of rough exterior stood over her. She closed them again in fright, and nearly swooned, Wheu next sho opened them she was alone. Unable to collect her thouchts. she lay still a few moments. By and by the exeriences of the morning rushed over ner. "For heaven'i sake, where am 17" she cried. Then she sprang from her couch, forgetful of her sufferings. She was dazed. The room she found herself in was evidently an attio room. The roof sloped down low and close to the floor on one side. There wu neither ceiling nor walls; the rafters and stud ding were bare of plaster. The floor was uncarpvted. A dormer window broke through the roof and gave light to the room. She flew to it, but could not reach it; a strong iron grating set In the timbers and floor barred her way. Sho shook it in the desperation of de spair.

She was like a frightened bird, wun throbbing breast, U-ating tne oars or a cage. Then for the first tune sue reanzeu that her dress apeared strange. She examined it It was a coarse cal ico garment of vulgar figure. She was bewildered. Then she found it hod been sliped over the other dress How? She could not comprehend. Her head began to whirl, and before ilie could reach the other room darkness overcame her. When she awoke to consciousness igain she was lying upon the hcs.r. She staggered to her feet. How long she bad lain there sue couw uot tell. Jt was still origin uuj, um whether it had been five minutes or live lours, she was unable to determine. Her eyesfell again upon thecalico dress vhich covered her. She stripped ii on ltli hurried action. She stood a moment, hor senses numbed utterlv confused. Hv and by tho events of the day began a imiss before her vividly. She traced .hem one by one, to the final scene in the ionch. "It was chloroform." sho said aloud, Then she thoucht of her mother, of her llann because Annie had not returned ind of the mother's distress over the new calamity, falling so closely on the mur ler of her brother. This thought touched a tender chord. ind she wept violently. The storm of tear acted like a storm m a sultry uay; it cieareu um uuum- nhere. When she recovered uerseii sue oegsio . . . , . i to think. She made a close examination of the room: It was similar in size aim npieui ance to the one she had first found her telf in. A mattress lay In the corner with a nillow and a horse blanket tumbled on it. as if some one had slept there. Two chairs stood near the dormer window On one was a newspaper. She picked it up. It was of the date of the 14tli or September. That was the day she was last ut home. It must still be that uuy The newspaper was new and fresh: It had not been opened. A small, round table stood in the cen ter of the room, a plum, wooden lop table, not particularly clean. A plate, a cup. both dirtv, anu some crumos. showed that uot long before some one hnd eaten there. A stump of a lead pencil lay on the table. Site went Into the other room. It was bare of everything save a chair and the bed on which she had lain. Apwrently there wus no hope of es cape. She listened. &ne could neur no sounds in the house. Only the noises from the street the cries of haw kers. (lie shouts of children at play, the roll ol vehicles all these came to her deadened tiy the distance. W hat was the meaning of her seizure and confinement, she ashed herself. Who was the enemy of her family who first killed her brother and then abducted her? Whv were these calamities so sud denly precipitated upon them, who had alwavs lived such quiet and uneventful lives? It was a problem too deep for her to solve; she was not even aware of an enemy. Her thoughts instinctively turned to Holbrook. He would assist her if he knew of herdistress, and he would know because of her failure to meet him as re quested. Ah. a thought) She had been trapped by forged notes from him. She grew the more frightened by the thought. Oh, if she could but communicate with Holbrook I She prayed heaven to ojH-n a way. "Hi, missy, hi!" A voice startled her. She looked in every direction but the right one. Hi, missy, look up. She did. In the roof there was a sky light Through a broken pane tho very dirty face of a boy looked down upon her. If it had been the face of an angel it could not have appeared more beautiful to her. "I seed them when they brung you up here. Was you sick?" "Y es. Can t you come down here? "No, de winder Is nailed tight. 'Sides, he'd trash mo. Ho kicked me down stairs onct."

'1 want you to go to Mr. Holbrook" and she gave him tho address "and tell him where I am, that 1 am locked up here." "Write it down, missy." "I have no paper.

She looked up at the boy. "Where am ir The boy mickered. "Why, right down dere, missy." "No, no, but in what street?" "Oh, in Mott street, tree doors from Bayard." She wrote.

The Confidential Memorandum is neither more nor less than a railroad hluek list, and it contains some startling information about various people whose names are not unknown to the Americun public. Only the higher officers of rail ways can obtain it Some persons whose nninea are contained therein might con sider the charges brought against them liliehms. and so to avoid responsibility and evade law suit the names of the publishers nnd the place of publication are not printed upon tho title page. Nearly every railroad in the United States is a part proprietor in the "Mem orandum." and those who compile it draw their pay and inspiration from the records of hundreds of railroads in Uncle Sam's domain. Little short of a special dispensation of Providence en ables any one except a railroad official to see the book. The book contains nineteen pages of names of delinquents and seven pages of the names of. periodicals and their edit ors who abused the courtesies extended to them by ruilroadn. Notwithstanding the edicts of the interstate commerce law an uncommonly large number of persons other than railroad men secure passes and reduced rates from railroads, audit frequently happens that the re cipients dispose of these favors to friends, scalers and even to 6trangers "for a consideration."
