It waa now evident to Tant' ftannle
Cbat Waldo bad been la ber loft and

To exemplify bla one share Id the

The boy came In and atood before

Bonaparte perceived that ber remark
waa not In keeping wltb the nature of

addressed tbe boy.

"Bo you haven't got anything to say

liendlug forward with a little snarl
"But what I mean la Just this, my lad

which was aa aplce to tbe pudding and

The boy's face waa white now. Ills
eyes were on the grouud, hie bauds
doggedly clasped before him.
"W h itT You do i) Intend to an

under lilt bent eyebrow a and ttrn
looked down again.
"The creature tooka aa If all the

Banule. "S.iy you took them. boy.
Young thing will lie young things. I
wa older than you wheu I used to
eat 'bultong lo my mother' loft and
get the little niggers whipped for It
Boy you took them."
But the boy aald nothing.
"I think little solitary confinement
might perhaps be U-ueflrlal," said
Bonaparte. "It will enable you, Wal
do, to reflect on the enormity of tbe sin
you have committed against our fa
ther In heaven, and you may also think
of the submission you owe to those
ho are older and wiser than yon are
nd whose duty It Is to check and cor
rect yen."
Baying this, Bonaparte atood op and
took down tbe key of tbe fuel bouse,
which hung on nail again-.! the wall.
"Walk oo. my lmy," said Bonaparte,
pointing to the door, and aa he follow

Bonaparte took Dp lighted candle
that bad been left burning on tbe
kitchen table and told tbe boy to walk
before blm. Tbey weot to tbe fuel
house. It waa little stone erection
that jutted out from tbe aide of the
wagon bouse. It waa low and without

plied lo ooe corner, and tbe coffee mill
stood In another, fastened oo the 109
of abort post about three feet b'gh.
Bona carts took tbe padlock ol tbe
rough door.
"Walk In, my lad." be said.

ivaled behind blm.
"I'm very sorry, exceedlogly rorry,
Waldo, my lad, that you abould bare

aald Bonaparte.
He moved round toward tbe boy's
back. He hardly liked the look Id tbe
f.llow' eyes, though be stood there
motionless. If be abould spring on
blin!
80 be drew the rope ont very care
fully and ablfted round to the wooden
post There waa a slipknot la ooe end
vf tbe rope, and a sudden movement
drew tbe boy's bands to bis back aud
passed It round them. It was an In
stant' work to drag It twice round tbe
wooden poet Then Bonaparte waa
safe.
For a moment the boy atruggled to
free himself. Then be knew that be
was powerless and stood stllL
"Horses that kick must have their
lega tied," sold BouapHite aa be pas sod
tbe otber end of tho rope round tbe
boy's kneea. "And now, uiy dear Wal
do," taking tbe whip out of bla pocket,
"I atti going to beat you."
He paused for moment It was
perfectly quiet Tbey could bear each
other's breath.
" "Chasten thy son while there la
hoie,' " said Bonaparte, " 'and let not
thy soul spare for bla crying.' Those
are Ood's words. I shall act aa a fa
ther to yoi. Waldo. I think we had
better have your naked back."
He took out bla penknife and silt the
shirt dowo from tbe shoulder to tbe
waist
"Now," aald Bonaparte, "I hope tbe
Lord will bless and sanctify to you
what I am going to do to you.
Tbe drat cot ran from the shoulder
across tbe middle of tbe back. Tbe
second fell exactly In tbe aame place.
A shudder passed through tbe boy's
frame.
"Nice, eh?" said Bonaparte, peeping
round Into bla face, apeuklug wltb a
Hap. as though to a very little child.

from bis whip.
"Cold, eh? What makes you ablver

Wbeo be had finished, he wiped tbe
whip again and put It back In bis
pocket He cut tbe rope through with
his penknife and then took up tbe
light
"Yon don't soem to have found your
tongue yet Forgotten bow to cryt"
aald Bonaparte, patting blm on tbe
cheek.
Tbo boy looked up at blin, not sul
lenly, not angrily. There waa a wild,
tltful terror In the eyes. Bonaparte
made haste to go out and ahut the door
and leave him alone In tbe darkness.
He himself waa afraid of that look.
It waa almost morning. Waldo Iny
wltb hla face upon the ground at tbe
foot of tbe fuel heap. There was a
round bole Dear tbe top of the door
where a knot of wood bad fallen out,
and a stream of gray light came Id
through It
Ah, It waa going to end at last) Noth
ing laata forever, not even the night
How waa It be bad never thought of
that before? For Id all that long dark
night he bad been very strong, bad
never been tired, never felt pain, had
run on and on, up and down, up and
down. He had not dared to stand still.
and be bad not known It would end.
r?u had been so strong that when be
truck hi head wltb all bl force upon
the stone wall It did Dot stun him nor
pain blm, only made him laugh. That
waa dreadful night Wbeo be clasp
ed his hand frantically and prayed,
"O Ood, my beautiful God, my sweet
God, once, only once, let me feel you
near me tonight!" he could not feel
him. He prayed aloud, very loud, and
be got no answer. When he listened,
It wss all quite quiet like when the
prlesta of Baal cried aloud to their god.
O Baal, bear us; O Baal, bear us!'
but Baal waa gone a hunting.
That waa a long, wild night, and wild
thoughts came and went In It; but tbey
left their mark behind them forever;
for, aa yunrs cannot pass without
leaving tbctr traces behind them, nei
ther can nights Into which are forced
the thought and sufferings of yesrs.
And now tbe dawn waa coming, and at
last be waa very tired. He shivered
and tried to draw the shirt up over his
shoulders. They were getting stiff. He
had never known they w?re cut Id tbe
night. He looked up at tbe white light
that came In through tbe bole at the
top of the door and shuddered. Then
he turned bis face back to tbe ground
and alept again.
Home hour later Bonaparte came to
ward tbe fuel bouse wltb a lump of
bread In hi band. He opened the door
and peered Id, then entered and touch
ed the fellow with bla boot Beelng that
he breathed heavily, though be did Dot
rouse, Bonaparte threw the bread
down on the ground. He was alive.
That was one thing. He bent over
him and carefully scratched open one
of the cuts wltb tbe nail of hi fore
finger, examining with much Interest
bis last night's work. He would bare
to count hla sheep himself that day.
The boy waa literally cut up. He lock
ed tbe door and went away again.

dining room and bathed Id tear that
afternoon, "I bave beeo begging Bona

"The more yon beg tbe more be will

Bhe waa carting cut prone on tbo
table.
"Ob. bat It's late, and t think they
want to kill him." aald Km, weeping
bitterly; and, finding Hint no more con
solation was to be gained from ber
cousin, she went off blubbering. "I
wonder you can cat ont aprons when
Waldo Is shut up like that"
For ten minutes after she waa gone
t.yn.lall worked on quietly. Then aba
folded up her stuff, rolled It tightly to

of the sitting room with her band

There waa a oever osed trapdoor at

Hottentot maid took the ladder away,

For a little while Tanf Bannle poked
about among tbe empty bottle aod

Bbe found that tbe pieces of meat were

dived ber band Into tbe pickle water.
At that Instant ber niece entered the
room below, closely followed by Bona
parte, wltb bis bead on ooe aide, snill
iDg mawkishly. Had Tanf Banule
spoken at that moment tbe life of
Bonaparte Blenklns would bave run a
wholly different course. As It was, she
remained silent, and neither noticed
the open trapdoor above their beads.
"Bit there, my love," said Bona
parte, motioning Trana Into ber aunt's
elbow chair and drawing another close
up In front of It, In which be seated
himself. "There; put your feet upon

Trana, wbo understood not one word

"How long have I desired this mo

Her Husband's Story
My name is E. J. Sprong. and my address is 16 Bondman Block, Troy, N.
Y. I want to tell how thankful I am that my wife' health has been restored to
ber. About a year a;;o khe caught a ilreadtul cold, which settled in her bron
chial tubes and lung-i. She cer
tainly had bronchitis and I tt-ink
consumption, too, and wc de
spaired of tier life. Shu had a
tightness and sorenes-t in the
chct, end it was dillicult for her
to breathe. There weio darting,
sharp, dull and heavy pains, with
constant coulung and exjK-ctorat-tng.
Kach day sho was worse
than the nay iieioie. 1 was au-
vised to get Acker a English Rem- yj
cdy, and d:u so, but my wite only
shook her head and said : 'Another
dollar thrown away.' She took
tho Remedy, however, and si
the effect was magical. In less
than an hour there was a remark
nbia change. She got better at
once, and in a short time she was
entirely well and strong again. The cure was permanent and there has been
no relapse. I don't know what Acker's English Kcniidy is made of. but I am
s'jre it contains something that fortiSes the system ngamst future attacks. My
wite is in better general health now than ever, and you can't imagine how
happy !ie is for her recovery. She tell everybody about Acker's English Rem
edy, and so do I. for I believe it to be our duty to the public to help every suf
ferer who has throat and lung troubles. My neighbors say it is a sure specific
for croup, and has saved the lives of hundreds of little ones around in this
vu inity alone."
