rompanled him to the orphanage to see
little Itee.
Llaalfl Mncready was bnajr nt a win
dow, when the Stranger and the parson
walked- up the gravel path. The
bronzed face of the former was aglow
with excitement. Lizzie had never seen
a more plenslng face, she thought. It
was 11 good, honest face, too, and when
a moment later she was requested to
bring little Bee to the reeeptlon room,
her heart throbbed wildly. IVrhups
her prayer had been heard!
The woman and the child entered the
room, and the stranger came forward
to greet them. He caught the little girl
In his arms and kissed her. Itee, who
had never before been caressed by a
man, wound her arms around his neck
and laid her head on his shoulder. A
good omen, thought Lizzie, and con
lldlngly shook the stranger's hand.
The minister Introduced the visitor as
Mr. Correll, little Bee'ft half-brother.
Ills father, a wild, reckless fellow, had
left his wife. He had taken their ch id,
a boy, with him. The hoy was the
man, who now stood before them.
They had drifted to the mining camps
of Colorado and there Oorrell bud
amassed riches. A few months ngo he
died, leaving everything to his son and
Imploring him to tlml his mother. This
the son did. He had learned of his
mother's divorce and marriage to Hos
slter, and of the birth of a baby girl.
Their trull led to the little mountain
town In Vermont, and here he found
one In her grave, the other n public
charge In nu orphannge. Now he
would take her away with him and
spend his riches upon her. In n day
or two he would be ready to depart.
LlaalO Mncready grew pale as death,
when he announced his Intention. The
child, still nestling In his arms, held out
her hand to her foster-mother.
"Dear Number Six," she cried, "I can
never lenve you!"
Sweet blushes crept In the girl's
cheek nt this avowal of affection 011 the
part of tbe child. The stranger
topped and kissed her hand
"How can I ever thank you for what
you have done for her!"
For days Mr. Correll, the rich young
miner, lingered In the little mountain
town. Again the gossips got together,
wondering w hat kept him In a place so
devoid of attraction to people with
money. There was nothing In the wny
of little Hee's departure. Surely that
foolish young woman, Lizzie Mac
ready, would not again interpose silly
objections.
Kvery day the stranger went to the
orphanage to spend hours with his lit
tle sister and her beloved Number Six,
for he Insisted that Lizzie Mncready
should accompany her charge on all
their strolls through the garden.
At last he Informed tbe landlord of
the little hostelry that he would depart
the next day. He ordered a four seat
carriage Instead of the single fly to
take bin to the station.
"I nm not going alone this time," he
said, with a happy smile.
"t'olng to take the little girl with
you, I see," answered the lundlord.
taring to himself that there mold be
one less for the county to rand,
"Yes. and a wife!" continued Correll.

INDIANA'S EARLY GOVERNMENT
Hellcs of the First Capltul and Ton-

At Corydon, tbe first capital of In
diana, are tbe relics still standing of
the first government of the State. One
Is the old State I, .use. Uullt In 1H11 for
the Territorial Icglslaturo mid OfBcOQ.
The building was not completed until
181.1. The State was admitted Into the
Vnlon In 1SHI and the State ollielnls
used the building until 18&Y Tbe build
ing Is still n solid structure.
The second relic Is the constitutional
elm. Tho constitutional convention
met nt tbe State bouse In June, 1816,
but the weather was so hot that ad
journment wus taken to the shade of
the old elm. The tree has wide -spreading
branches and covers a space I'M
feet in diameter.
THROUGH CRIMEAN WAR.
The Vehicle V hUh Curried Florence
NlBhtlna-nle on Her Mimlon,
Florence Nightingale recently passed
her seventy-clhth birthday. This Is
the carriage which she had built for her
use .luring be Crimean war when
tranflportaUon wns so bail some vehicle
beoaina a necessity. It was a very light
four-wheeled vehicle, being composed
of wood battens and basket work, Its
Interior lined with water-proof canvas.
A canopy ran the full length, and there
were curtains at the sides, so that It
might be inclosed at will. The sides
were padded, aud It was fitted with
patent brake, so as to allow It to go
gently down the steep Turkish roads.
All through the campaign she worked
with well nigh Incredible courage and
patience, almost succumbing at one
period to the terrible Crimean fever,
but n-corerlng and taking up her work
again, In spite of a naturally fragile
constitution, still further weakened by
hardships Innumerable and overwork.

One ofYhe Greatest Narsl tinela.
Heuceforward-to use Nelson's words
about bis own most despernU' action
"there waa no maneuvering, there was
only downright fighting;" and great us
waa Jones' unquestionable merit aa a
handler of ships, It was downright
fighting endurance, of the most extreme
and Individual character, that won this
battle. When thus In contact, tbe su
periority of tbe Hrltlsh elghteeni over
the American twelves, though less than
nt a distance, was still great; but n far
heavier disparity lay In the fabrics of
the two enemies. That Itlchard was a
very old ship, rotten, never mennt for
naval use; the Serapls was new, on her
first commission. The fight hitherto
having engaged the port guns of the
latter, the starlsiard lower gun ports
were still closed, and from the ships'
touching could not be opened. They
were therefore blown off, anil the fight
went on. "A novelty In naval combats
was now presented to many witnesses,
but to few admirers," quaintly wrote
Lieut. Dale, who wns In the midst of
the scene below decks. "The rammers
were run Into the respective ships to
enable the men to lond;" that Is, the
staves of the rammers of one ship en
tered the ports of tho other ns the guns
were being loaded. "We became so
close fore nnd nft," reported I'enrson,
"that the muzzles of our guns touched
each other's sides;" and even so, by
the testimony of tbe lieutenant on the
lower gun deck of the Serapls. her guns
could not be fully run out, owing to the
nearness of the vessels. Serlbncr's.
