    WOODS OF YOUTH.
There rllr and cool the mosses Moped,
Away where, dizzy perfumes rise,
"WTierc tarda to fairy Kisses oped
Their fanucyed lips In dumb surprise.
Eaxc aonrs from feather gingers dripped
IUlf hiz.ll, like languid showers,
When clouds In tenderness have dipped,
To bailie the fnecs of the flowers.
Trotted, by clone and trailing vine,
A riTulrt slipped through the green
Cool stillness, find in dreamt divine,
I bowed to listen and to lean
Out o'er Its dccpl matted way,
For In. til rhythm of Its flow,
J caught the music of a lay,
I dropped down boyhood' long ago.
Andlontnr, longing but to hear
The liquid flow of that lost air,
J saw a facts reflected clear
Deep shaded o'er with auburn hair.
A face T lost when youth broke o'er
A fragrant hedge of rocs white,
To trail mid labyrinths that bore
Hope's flowerets sparkling in the light.
0 wood of youth, with memory's stream
Threading Uiy silence with a tear,
1 linger In thy lap and seem
To hold my vanished boyhood here.

CHAPTER XXIL
TTIU MOUSE AT TETUAIT.
In those days tho railroad did not run
from Tunis to tho Moorish frontier ;
and to reach Tetuan as quickly as pos
sible, thoy had to embark iu one of tho
Bwiftost boats of tho Antokirtta flotilla.
Beforo midnight Electrio No. 2 had
been got ready for sea, and was on her
way across tho Syrtic Sea.
On lward wero tho Doctor, Piorro,
Luigi, Point Pcscado and Capo Matifou.
Pierro was known to Sarcauy, tho others
wero not. When thoy reached Tetuan
thoy would consult as to their proceed
ings, would it uo uettor to act by
ntratagem or force ? That would dopend
on Sarcany's position in this absolutely
Moorish town, or his arrangements in
Namir's house, and on the following ho
could command. Beforo everything,
thoy must got to Toluan I
Irom tho end of tho Syrfcs to tho
Moorish frontier, is about two thousand
fivo hundred kilometres noarly thirteen
hundrod and ilfty nautical miles. At
full speed Electrio No. 2 could do her
twonty-soven miles an hour. How many
railway traitis thero aro that aro not aa
fast ! That long stool tube, oflenng no
rcsistancotothe wind, could slip through
tho waves without hinilerance, and
reach its destination iu ilfty hours.
Beforo ilayhiealc the next morning,
tho Electrio had doubled Capo Bon.
Then, having crossed tho Gulf of Tunis,
it only took her a fow hours to loso
Bight of Point Bizerto, Tja Calle, Bone,
tho Iron Cape, whoso metallic mass is
said to disturb tho compasses, the
Algorian coast. Stora. Bougi, Dollys,
Algiers, Cherohell, Mostaganem, Oran,
Nemons j thon tho shores of Bill', tho
Point of Mollelah which, liko Ceuta, is
Spanish, Capo Tres Forcas, whoneo tho
continent rounds off to Cipo Negro all
this panorama of tho African coast-lino
was unrolled during tho 20th and 21st
of November, without oithor incident or
accident. Never had tho machino,
worked by tho currents from tho accu
mulators, hail such a run. If tho Eleo
trio had been porcqivod, either along
tho flhoro or crossing tho gulfs from
capo to capo, thero would havo been
telegrams as to tho appearand) of a
phenomonal ship, or perhaps a colaeoan
of extraordinary power that no Hteamor
had yet oxceedod iu speod iu tho Medi
terranean waters.
About eight o'clock in tho ovoning tho
Doctor, Pierre, Luigi, Point Peseado
and Capo Matifou lauded at tho mouth
of tho Hinall river of Tetuan, in which
their rapid vessel had dropped anchor.
A hundred yards from tho bank, in
tho middle of a small oaruvansoria, thoy
fouud mulos ami a guido to tako thorn
into tho town, which was about four
miles distant. Tho price askod was
agreed to instantly, and the party sot
on.
In this part of tho Biff, Europeans
havo nothing to fear from the indigenous
population, nor even from tho nomads
of tho district. Tho couutry is thinly
peopled and almost uncultivated. Tho
road lays across a plain dotted with
utraggling shrubs and it is a road inudo
by tho feet of tho boasts rather than by
tho hand of man. Oti one sulo is tho
river with muddy banks, olive with tho
croak of frogs and tho chirp of crickets,
ami bearing a few llslting-boats moored
in tho ooutro or drawn up on tho shoro.
On tho other mdo, to tho right, is tho
outline of the baro hills running off to
join tho mountain masso of tho south.
Tho night was magnilluont. Tho
moon bathed tho wholo country in its
light, Belleoted by tho mirror of tho
Viver, tho moonlight seemed to softou
the heights 011 tho northern horizon,
In tho distance, whito and gleaming, lay
tho town of Tetuan a shining patch iu
tho dark clouds of mist beyond.
Tho Arab did not wasto much time.
Twice or thrioo ho had to pull up beforo
isolated houses, whero tho windows on
the sido not lighted by tho moon throw
a yellow beam out into tho shadow, and
from them would oomo two or thtvo
Moors with a lantern, who, after a hur
riod conference with tho guide, would
lot them pas.
Neither tho Dootor nor hU com
panions fepoko a word. Absorbed in
their thouglit.s, they loft the mules to
follow tho road, which horo and thero
was out through by gullies strewed with
boulders, or ouruborod with roots which
Uioy avoided with nuro feet. Tho
largest of tho muloj was, however, very
often in tho rear. ThU might havo
been oxpoctod, I01 it Ixiro Capo Matifou,
It was that that led Point Poscado to
reflect
"Perhaps it would havo boou better
for Onpo Matifou to carry the mule
iuetoad of tho mulo carrying Capo
Matifou T
About half-past nino tho Arab stopped
boforo a largo blank wall, surmounted
by towers and battlements, which on
that sido defends tho town. Iu this
wall was a low door, decorated with
arabesques in Moorish fashion. Abovo,
through thonumcrousentrauccs, pointed
the camions, looking likocrocodiles care
lessly Bleeping in tho light of tho moon.
Tho gato was shut. Some conversa
tion was needed, with cash in hand,
beforo it cortld bo opened. Then tho
party passed in down tho winding,
narrow and open-vaulted streets, with
other gates, barrod with iron, which
wero successively opened by similar
means. At length tho Doctor and his
companions, in a quarter of an hour,
reached an inn or "fonda" tho only
0110 in tho placo kept by a Jowess,
with n one-oyed girl as servant.
Tho total want of comfort in this
fonda, which had tho rooms disposed
round tho central court, was a sufliciont
explanation as to why strangers so very
seldom ventured into Tetuan. There is
evon only ono representative of tho
European powers, tho Spanish consul,
among a population of several thousands,
with whom tho native element pre
dominates. Although Doctor Antokirlt wished
exceedingly to ask for Namir's house,
and to bo taken there at once, he
restrained himself. It was necessary to
act with great prudence. To carry Sava
away under snch circumstances was a
serious matter. Everything for and
ngainst it was taken iuto consideration.
Perhaps thoy might bo ablo to get tho
girl set froo for a consideration ? But
tho Doctor nnd Piorro would havo to
keep themselves out of sight moro
especially from Sarcauy, who might,
perhaps, bo in Tetuan. In his hands
Sava would become a guaranteo for tho
future, that ho would not easily part
with. Hero tlioy wero not in 0110 of tho
civilized countries of Europe, whoro
justico and police could easily interfere.
In this country of slaves, how could
they provo that Sava was not Namir's !
legitimate slavo ? How could thoy provo I
that sho was Count Sandorf'n daughter, j
othorwiso than by Madame Toronthal'a j
letter, nnd tho banker's confession ? (
Tho houses in theso Arab towns aro 1
carefully guarded, ami not easily acces
sible. Thoy aro nolJ entered easily. I
Tho intervention of a cadi might oven
be useless, even if it could be obtained.
It had been decided that at the outsot,
but in a way to prevent suspicion, )
Namir's houso should bo carefully ,
watched. In tho morning, Point Pes
eado would go out with Luigi to pick up '
information. During his stay in Malta, I
Luigi had learned a little Arabic, and :
tho two would start to find out in what .
street Namir lived, and then to act
accordingly.
Mcnnwhilo Electrio No. 2 would bo
concealed in ono of tho narrow creeks
along tho coast, near tho entrance of
tho Tetuan river, mid kept ready for
sea at a moment's notieo. Tho night,
whoso hours wero so long for tho Doctor
and Pierre, was thus passed at tho
fonda. If Point Peseado and Capo
Matifou had any desiro to lio on beds
encrusted with crockery ware, they were
satisfied.
In tho morning Luigi and Point Pes
eado began by visiting tho bazaar, in
which there had already withered a
largo part of tho Tetuan population.
Peseado know Namir, whom ho had a
sooro of times noticsd in tho streets of
llagusa, while sho was acting as spy for
Sarcauy. lie would, thoroforo recog
nize her, and as sho did not know him,
thero was 110 reason why ho should not
mcot her. And then ho could follow
her.
Tho principal bazaar of Tetuan is a
collection of sheds, pout-houses and
hovols, low, narrow and sordid, arranged
in humid lanes. A fow cloths, of differ
ent colors, aro strotchod on lines, and
protect it from tho heat of tho sun.
Around aro dull-looking shops with bor
dored silk, gorgeous trimmings, slippers,
purses, cloaks, pottery, jewels, collars,
bracelets, rings, and other common
goods such as nro found in the shops of
tho largo towns of Europe
It was already crowded. Tho peoplo
woro taking advantage of tho coolness of
tho morning. Moors veiled to tho oyes,
.Towossos with uueovorcd faces. Arabs,
Kabyles, moved to and fro iu tho bazaar,
elbowed by a certain number of strangers,
so that tho prosonco of Luigi Porrato
und Point Peseado did not attract special
attention.
Eor an hour thin' traversed tho motley
crowd in search of Namir. In vain !
Tho Moor did not appear, nor did
Sarcauy.
Luigi thon asked ono of tho half-
uakd boys hybrid products of all tho
African races, from tho Biff to the
Sahara who swarm in tho bazaars of
Morocco.
Tho first ho spoko to made no roply.
At last ono of thorn, a Kabyle, about
twolvo years old, said that ho know tho
house, and offered to tako tho Europeans
there for n trifle.
Tho offer was accepted, and tho threo
tarted through tho tangled streets
which radiato towards tho fortifications.
In ten minutes thoy had reached a part
that was almost deserted, iu which tho
houses wero fow and far botwoen, nud
had no wiudows on their outer sides.
During this timo tho Doctor ami
Pierro woro waiting tho return of Luigi
and Peseado with feverish impatience.
Twenty t intra woro they tempted to go
out and look for themselves. But Uioy
wero both known to Svroany and tho
Moor. It would, perhaps, bo risluntr
ovorythiug, to moot thorn, and givothom
an alarm which might enable them to
escape. So they romainod a prey to the
keenest anxiety. It was niuo o clock
when Luigi anil Point Peseado returned
to tho fonda.
Their mournful faces told that they
wero the bearers of bad news.
In fact, Sareany and Namir, accom
panied by a girl whom nobody knew,
had left Totuan five weeks boforv, and
tho house was now in charge of tui old
woman.
The Doctor and Pierro had not
oxpeotod this ; they were in despair.
" lhcir departure is easily acoouutod
fori" aaid Luigi. "SaroAuy wai evi
dently afraid that Torouthal for roveuce
or soma other motive, would reveal tho
place of his retreat. "
Wliilo ho was only in pursuit of his
betrayers, theDoctor had never despaired
of success. But now it was his daughter
that ho sought to savo from Sarcauy, and
ho did not feci tho same confidence.
However, Pierre agreed with him that
thoy had better go at onco to Namir's
houso. Perhaps thoy might find sorao
trace or remembrance of Sava. Per
haps tho old Jewess who had been loft
in cuargo might give, or rather sell.
some hint that might provo useful.
Luigi led them thero immediately.
Tho Doctor, who epoko Arabic as if he
had born born in the desert, mtroduced
himself as 11 friend of Sarcany's. Ho
was passing Tetuan, ho said, and would
havo been glad to see him.
Tho old woman at first raised diffi
culties, but a handful of sequins mado
her much more obliging ; and sho will
ingly onswored tho questions tho
Doctor asked with tho appearance of
tho most livoly interest in her master.
Tho young la-ly who had beeu taken
away by tho Moor was Sarcany's in
tended wife. That had been arranged
lor somo time, and probably tho marri
ago would havo taken placo at Tetuan
had it uot been for tho hurried depart-
I uro. 'Ifio young lady since her arrival
I threo months before had not been out
side of tho house. They said sho was nu
Arab, but the Jow?s thought sho was a
1 European. Sho had seen her very little,
and only during tho Moor'a absence.
and sho could not find out any moro
about her.
. The old woman could not say where
Sarcauy had taken them. All sho kuew
was that they went nway about lira
weeks beforo with a caravan to the
eastward, nnd that since then tho houso
had been in her caro and was to continue
so until Sareany found somo 0110 to buy
it, which showed that ho did not intend
returning to Tetuan.
The Doctor listened coldly to theso
replies, and as thoy passed to Pierro
translated them.
From them it appeared that Sareany
had not thought it desirable to embark
on ono of tho steamers calling at Tan
gicrs, nor to go by tho railway which
had its terminus at Oran. Ho had
joined a caravan that had left Tetuan
bound whither? To somo oasis in tho
desert, or, still farther, to somo half
savage country, whero Sava would bo
entirely at his mercy ? How could they
know ? On tho roads of northern
Africa it is as difficult to recover tho
track of a caravan as the track of an in
dividual. Aud bo tho Doctor continued to inter
rogate tho Jewess. Ho had received
important news which was of interest to
Sareany, ho said, and they referred to
this very houso which ho wished to dis
poso of. But do what ho could 110 other
information could bo got. It was evi
dent that tho woman did not know whero
S.ircauy had fled to bring about the
close of tho drama.
Tho Doctor, Pierro and Luigi then
asked to bo allowed to seo tho house,
which was built in Arab fashion, with
tho different rooms lighted from a court
yard surrounded by 11 rectangular gal
lery. They foou reached the room that Sava
had occupied. It was quite a prison coll.
Thero what hours tho unhappy girl
must havo passed a prey to despair and
without hope of help. The Doctor and
Pierro looked round tho room seeking
tho least indication that might put theui
ou tho track.
TO UK CONTINUED.
Hovy Sho Flattened Him.
It was tho noon-day oar up Michigan
avenue. It was hot. It was boiling,
roasting hot. Tho driver had rivulets
of perspiration running down his face
as tho sun hit him plumb-center, and
the conductor mopped and growled and
lingered tho nickels with wet fingers in
tho shade of the rear platform. Oppo
site each other, on tho last seats back,
wero a middle-aged woman who sat up
as still' as a poker and looked as cool as
ice, and a corpulent, red-faced man,
who unbuttoned coat and vest and col
lar and puffed away liko a porpoise.
"Ever seo tho like?" ho quorried as
ho looked across at tho woman anil fan
ned himself with his hat.
Sho regarded him with a look of dis
dain. "Never saw anything liko it, oven in
tho tropics!" ho gasped.
Her glance this thno was iivo degrees
below zero.
"Awfuljust positively awful! An
other such day as this will uso up a
thousand people. You must bo sullVr
inr. too."
M10 guvo him a look hung all around
with icicles, and then beckoned to the
conductor.
"Sir," sho said, as that official ontor
ed, "when did they remove tho stovo
from this car?"
"Several weeks ago, madam."
"How reckless! I'leaso closo tho win
dow behind me, unddoforiuorcv'ssako
keep that door shut. I'm just sh'ivering
with tho cold and havo no shawl witn
inc."
Thon sho looked a wholo big iccborg
at tho man opposite, shivered horshouN
dors two or three times, and cuddled
down in tho corner to keep warm. Ho
looked at her for a ininuto in a dubious
way, and then buttoned up coat and
vest, jammed on his hat and softly
sneaked out and boosted himself upon
tho railing to finish his rido In tho
deepest silence. Detroit Free Press.

The terrible sentence which has been pro
nounced in Chicago is n cry of halt to anarch
ism lu this country. Men who do not like
the present constitution of society may meet
and resolve against It. may eveu vote against
It, and attempt to change It by Impressing
their views upon government, but they must
uot kill. Ideas and opinions arc not to be
advocated with dynamite 111 the United States.
It may bo a sudden revelation to the anarch
ists that they arc Iu danger of being hurled
Into prison or hanged on the gallows by prac
ticing their teachings, but It Is wholesome
that the revelation should be made, nnd that

The verdict will bo as unanimously Indorsed
ns the one which sent Utliteau to the gallows.
The crime was one of the most causeless and
horrible ever committed. Tlie proof of the
conspiracy on tho part of the accused to per
petrate the crime was clear, convincing, aud
unshaken by tlie defense. The verdict is a
vindication of free Institutions from the
aspersions of European critics, by showing
that conspiracies against life, properly, ani
social order are as abhorrent to the people of
Amtrlea as to any other people, and ascertain
to be punished here as anywhere. It will dis
pel the Illusion that brought some ot the
anarchists to this country and encouraged
them to believe that their wolQsh Ideas aud
and plans could be safely propagated here.
The people of Chicago aud the wholo
country nre to be congratulated upon tho
courare, patience, and great ability which have
characterized the prosecution of tlie convicted

Nothing that has occurred Iu years afforded

Ilans wiio uatlied tlie streets of Chicago In hu

iu Hulfalo, where there was much to distract the
masses, tlie Ilrst question was: "What has
the Chicago jury done i" and when the an
swer was given there was a general "Thank

The prompt conviction of the Chicago an

of these conspirators, which are the scum of
continental l'.urope, will bo a warning to all
other foreign criminals and social reformers
that America is uot tlie place to try their the
ories. Anarchism, so-.'ialism nud boycotting
will not be tolerated in the United" States.

It Is an unexpected and gratifying victory for

buke to a new order of criminality. It Is a

result not to gloat in fellow-beings' b!ood,but

It may now be regarded ns settled that the
freedom which Is our pride and boast is not
broad enough to cover Incitement and murder.
There has been some doubt on this point
among certain of the foreign elements with
which our liberal Immigration laws have en
dowed the country. Taero was doubt of it
among tho socialists and auarchlsts who
planned tlie slaughter In tho Chicago Ilay
market last May. Thoy thought themselves
perfectly safe in" saying "kill" and lu furnish

The sentence pronounced against them
should bo carried out to tlie letter. Not one
of them should bo spared through any false,
sympathy. They had no mercy iii'any of their

they have beeu apprehended In their Infamy
nnd robbed of their power to do as they would
like to do. Hang Umte men aud their fellows
whom they were misleading will be saved

will bo spared further trouble in this direction

will be a notice to tlie other assassins of the

WHAT THE KESULT nKXOMINATP.S.
To the great body of the American poople
tlio result, fearful ns the fate Is which it im- .
plies for the men found guilty, comes as a re-
lief. It demonstrates that tlie laws of tho
country are not to be trampled upon, that our
Institutions, the Institutions of a fr-e rwople,
aro uot to be condemned aud destroyed by
those who liavo u respect fo.- tho law ami
government. It denominates, also, that the
law Is yet strong enough to punish those who
would destroy the gore rnmcnt and the law,
aud hold In check those who would come berr
to preach anarchistic doctrlues. JJuriit.on
