THE ItO.U) AUEIft".
Mv ronlo. which wis tho only road be
Iweon tho town of Ircton ami Chester,
lay for thirty miles through an ntniost
uubrokon wililernena. Tho track hiul
been badly cut to pieces by ret'cnt rains,
and my progress wis much slower than
was either safe or pleasant. Sunset
fonnd me still many miles from my des
tination, and I bejjan to rcilect on the
probability of a night's lodging in tho
woods in no very comfortable frame of
mind.
My horse stumbled so constantly in
tho increasing darkness that I was forced
at longth to allow him to pick his way at
a stow wniK. l nou amvea hi n particu
larly rough part of the road, and halted
to make suro that no pitfall lay hidden iu
tho olwcurity beyond, when a form
sprang out at tho bushes and stood 1h
bkIo me. Iu tho dull light I could per
ceive that it was n small, slightly-built
man, clod in shnbbr garments, with a
broad slouched hat concealing his face,
and that he held a pistol in unpleasant
proximity to my head.
"What do you want?" I asked, with
what composure I could muster.
"Yonr money," was tho answer.
"Fling it down into the road and ride
on."
Tho voice was singularly sweet for a
xnan a rnflian at that and there was a
tremor in it that belied his threaten
ing air.
"Tho mau is a coward," I said to my
self; then aloud, "Suiiiiose I refuse to
comply with your very reasonable re
quest, what then?"
"I Bhall blow your brains out," in
tho quick reply. "Throw mo your
money, and be quick about it."
1 raised my hand from my side as if to
"ii complv with his demand ; but instead of
going so I suddenly lifted my ruling
whip and brought it down ripou the tem
ple of my waylnyer. The blow was a jtow
erful one anil ho rolled under my horse's
feet without a sound.
Springing from my saddle to grapple
with him, I found him prostrate and
insensible, with the blood llowing copi
ously from an ugly wound in the fore
head. In the act of lifting his head utson my
arm, his liat fell off, and a coil of luxu
riant brown hair fell ovormyarm. Much
astonished at this, I Isent oer the life
less body and behold a pale, beautiful
faco, with, small delicate features, whoc
expression, even iu nnconsciouMio&s, was
that of mingled sadness and despair. My
assailant was a woman, yonng and bear
ing traces of refinement about her, de
spito her rough male tttire.
After a littlo search 1 discovered tho
weapon with which she had threatened
mo. It was au old pistol, broken and
unloaded. With an impulse that I did
not stop to question, I thrust it in niv
pocket. Then I examined the wound I
had inflicted. It was a slight one, but
wonld leave a life-long scar upon her
temple. .
W hat should such a woman le doing
in this desolate place? What cribis of
misfortune had driven her io im act so
dangerous and so unwomanly 'i There
was not time to reflect ujkjd the matter,
lor she stirred slightly, and a faint moan
of pain came through her ialo lips.
With a senso of deep remorse for the
violence I had done the poor girl, I
bound up her wound with my handker
chief and slipped a god jortion of the
money I had aljout me into the pocket of
her coat. I felt that her need must be
desperate indeed.
After a moment her eyes opened, and
ho gazed wildly around.
"What has happened ?" she said, con
fusedly. "Whero is my father ?"
Then she gazed at mo wonderingly.
"Oh, I remember," she cried, in a
heartrending accent. "Oh, sir, if yon
OHly knew why I did it! Lot me go to
my father pray, pray let me go!"
"You shall, said I, soothingly; "I
will take you to him, for you are not
able to wafk alone. Poor child ! it was a
mistake, and I was very brutal. Say no
more, but lean on mo. '
She obeyed in silence, and slinging
my horse'a bridle over my arm, I led
her down the road until she paused be
fore a miserable hut, whose battered
aspect and unlighted windows gave sor
rowful evidence of tho poverty of tho in
mates. , , , , . .
A I roleased her she suddonly seized
jny hand, nnd, gazing up into my face
appealingly, broke into a passion of
tears. . , ...T
"I understand you," I said, "ho one
shall over know what has occurred to
Bight from my lips. No wrong has been
done, except through my violence; and I
hopo you will forgive. Now go to your
father." , ,
Waving my hand in farewell, I Bprang
upon my horse, and rode away.
Cautious iuquiry in tho noxt town
elicited tho fact tliat the hut I had seen
w ocoupied by an old man of the name
f Windsor and his daughter Julia.
Tfaey had como from tho East some three
waara previous, und had evidently seen

On inquiring who Bho wns, I learned
JliRt sho hml lately returned from tho
West with hor father, who had oxporion
cod severe reverses of fortuno somo years
lioforo, but had recently regained his
rtropnrty. Her name, thoy told mo, was
Miss Leo.
1 had never known any of tho name,
yet I certainly know her. Whilo I was
puzzling myself for a solution of tho
mystery, ono of Uio heavy braids which
covered her forehead, fell aside, and 1
saw a small red scar upon her templo.
Then I know hor it was my wonhl-bo
robber. Miss Loo or Julia Windsor; I
could not bo mistaken in hor idontity.
Ab may bo readily imagined. I was not
lone in seekintr an introduction to Iter.
If, on her part, sho rooognizod mo, Rho
rcutmcu ncr composure aumiraoiy. A
small red spot rising in hor cheek and
and falling instantly, was all that I could
detect.
If I had thought her beautiful hi her
ugly attire, two years ago, I found her
doubly so now. Tho expression of caro
and grief had passed out of her beautiful
face, but it had left its traces in her soft
eye and in tho tremulous outline of her
mouth. An air of quiet thoughtfulncss
tho reioso of a soul heavily chastened
witli sorrow had a supremo charm for
me.
I had not been sitting beside her ten
minutes before it became painfully ap
parent to mo, that my solitarv life was a
very cold and selfish ono. This beauti
ful girl had lived, and loved and sutler
ered for another. If hor experience had
been a sad ono, it had likcwiso been no
ble. Somehow my adventure with her
that memorable night, seemed to givo
mo a right to her regard. Perhaps it was
lecanse I had never forcotten her. and
that tho simplo memory of her had kept
her always closo to her.
Bo this as it may, when I left her that
night, I was in an unhappy frame of
mind. Emotions had been aroused in
me that would not be put to sleep again.
For the first time in my lifo I knew what
love meant love for a large-hearted, no
blo woman.
I hod hoped that I liad secured tho
means of a familiar intercourse with
Miss Leo, by which I might bo enabled
to enlarge my acquaintance with her.
But I soon found I was mistaken. Con
verge with her as I might, but never freo
ly. Enter her house when and so often
aw I chooe, but her sympathy not at all.
She seemed to hold me firmly at a dis
tance. With all my efforts I could not
even establish a cool friendship between
us.
Did she remember me, then, and hato
me for that one dark event in her past
history? It seemed so, indeed. Yet,
was sh"o blind? Could sho not see that
I loved her? Or was it because, whilo
sacrificing herself for her father's sake, I
had inflicted tho wound whose scar she
would carry to her grave? Either wayv I
was supremely unhappy.
Six months elapsed before I sum
moned up the courage to put her feelings
toward me to the test. One afternoon I
entered her presence, firmly resolved to
declare my love for her and abide the re
sult. I could not be more wretched
than I was, and my love might at least
teach her to respect me. She was alone
when I entered. Something in my face
miiBt havo alarmed her, for she arose
hastily and wonld have left the room had
I not called her bock.
"Julia Windsor," I said, calmly, "will
you hear me ?"
"That is not my name," she faltered,
turning very white.
"No; but it was your name that night,
in the for West, when you pointed a pis
tol at my head and demanded my monoy.
Do yon remember that night ?"
She made no reply for a moment, but
stood with her free averted. Then she
suddenly turned and confronted me with
a gesture of contempt.
"Yes, I do remember," she answered
passionately. Am I likely to forget it
whilo this, inflicted by your hands, re
mains ?" She pushed back her hair and
laid her finger upon the scar on her
temple. "You struck me down, but to
pay me for my wound you left your
purse in my jockct. It saved mv father's
life for that I thank you. You may
cancel all. Go tell the world wliat you
know. Wake the tongue of slander
against me. Say that once upon a time
I lived in abject poverty, under an as
sumed name, and that to succor a jer
ishing father I robbed passengors uion
the road, in male attire. I do not fear
you."
'You need fear nothing," I answered,
quietly, "except that I shall love you too
much fo your noble sacrifice."
"Love me !" she echoed, looking at me
suddenly, with filling eyes. "I thought
that you despised me for my unwomanly
action."
"Then you wronged mo deeply, I re
turned, approaching and taking her
hand. "My remembrance of that night
is full of admiration and resject. Since
I have learned to know you intimately I
liave learned to love you how truly I
have no words to say.
"But I threatened you with a pistol,
she answered, demurely.
"It was harmless," I returned, smil
ing. "I kept it I have it at homo
"Do you remember the handkerchief
with which you bound my head ?" sho
asked shyly. "More faithfnl to the
spirit of that night than you, I havo
always kept it near mo. I have it now.
"Julia" said I, earnestly, "answer me
truly, why?" , ,. ,
"Because," she returned, lifting hor
soft eyes to mo, "I loved yon from that
hour. When I saw you again my lovo
took new strength, and though I felt that
you despised me, it remained unsliaken,
as it shall to my dying hour."
Mydurling,"Isaid, stooping to kiss
her upturned face, "on tliat night you
robbod mo of more than my purse. You
mode wholly yours my heart, my life,
my fnturo happiness ?'
Anecdotk oy Thaokiuiy. A writer in
a coutoinporary tells a good anecdote of
Thackcry, who was always at ono timo a
a welcome visitor at tho house of Lady
Ashburton, who was somewhat frco with
her tongue und in offering on opinion of
others. Something tliut tho saucy host
osb said offended her guest, and ho not
only declined her invitation but spoko of
her with discourtesy. Somo months af
terward, when his angry feelings had
died out, he received from Lady Asiibur
ton a card of invitation to dinner. Ho
returned it with a pen-and-ink drawing
on tho back, representing himself knoel
inff at hor feet, with his hair all aflamo
with tho hot coals sho was vigorously
iwuring on his head out of on ornament

contrition was followed by a complete
reconciliation, and thenceforward tho sa-

A Don's iMr-LAauiLE Hatufj). Among
some reminiscences of dogs given by a
writer in Forest and Stream the follow
ing appears: In my early youth I recall
a dog owned by my grandfather, who
afforded an instance of a temper resent
ful and implacable. Marquis was half
hound, half mastiff, as wo believed, but
wo only knew his mother, and sho was a
fair typo of the well-bred Southern
hound. He grew large heavier tuid
handsomer that tho average, hound is
with us, aud ho was so fierce that ho had
to be chained during tho day. Once a
cousin and I were amusing ourselves
with our bows and arrows about Iho
yard, both of us about six or seven years
old. In fun I prooscd to havo a shot
at Marquis, who was chained about
twonty yards off. Cousin John was
wiser 'than I, and would not shoot, but I
let fly an arrow, which only grazed, and
surely did not hurt him. Ho flow at me,
und breaking looso, would doubtless
havo handled mo roughly had I not
darted up the piazza steps, and thus
escnjMxi his rago. Months elapsed ere I
saw this dog again, and then it was at
our summer house, a seasido village,
twenty miles away from whero I had
shot at him. I tried in vain to overcome
his animosity to me by feeding him
twice a day. It was agreed, in fact, that
no one else should feed him while I re
mained. He would not attempt to molest
mo till ho had done his breakfast or din
ner, and then only tho length of his
chain limited his angry spring at me.
He seemed to lovo and respect my grand
father, father, sister and cousin, and tho
butler and coachman; the other mem
bers of the household, white and black,
he tolerated; but mo ho hated to the
bitter end. Six years after my childish
insult to him ho would gladly have torn
him to pieces, if opportunity had offored
When tho tidings of Marquis' death
were brought, believe me, I rejoiced
that he had been gathered to his fathers.
French Iitox and Steel Statistics.
The latest official returns of tho produc
tion of coal, iron and steel in Franco dur
ing tho first six months of the current
year do not in case show a serious de
crease. In 1872 tho output in France,
for the whole year was 15.800,000 tons;
in 187-1 it reached 10,900,000 tons; and in
1873 it reached 17,400,000 tons. Tho out
put during the first six months of tho
current year has been 8,331,139 tons.
The quantity of pig iron produced dur
ing the first six months of this year is
stated as 701,052 tons showing a decrease
of 05,000 tons against the corresponding
period last year. In tho two years 187IJ
and 1874, tho production was from 1,300,
000 to 1,400,000 tons per annum, so that
the figures for the first half of 1870 arc
about equal of the jHjriod of inflation.
The production of manufactured iron,
including rails, etc., attained its maxi
mum in Franco in 1874, when the total
for the year was 708,000 tons. More than
tho half of this quantity has been pro
duced during the first six months of tho
current year, the figures of which, how
ever, show a decline of 17,000 tons
against the corresponding icriod last
year. Tho production of stcel; on tho
other hand, has continued to increase
In 1873 the total steel production in
Franco for tho year was 164,000 tons, a
quantity which has been almost equaled
during tho first half of the current year,
the figures for which are 154,942 tons.
This quantity also shows an increase of
upwards of 15,000 tons against the first
half of last year.
Ax Incident. Ono day recently there
arrived in tho town of Leadvillo, Daniel
McFarland, tho man who shot and killed
Albert D. Itichardson, and who was tried
and acquitted, and Abby Sage llichard
son. He, a decrepit, ragged old man,
evidently in great want, puin and misery;
sho in tho garb of a well-to-do lecturer.
When McFarland learned of her arrival
he fell fainting to the sidewalk, and was
carried into a drug store near by, whero
restoratives were applied and ho recov
ered. Ho then began to cry and wring
his hands, exclaiming: "Oh! I must see
her! I must seo her! if only for ono mo
ment before I die! I must sicak to her!"
His condition was so pitiable and his ap
peals bo earnest that somo gentleman who
f.iul known them both in better days vol
unteered to go and see his wife ami en
deavor to bring about an interviow. Tho
sequel is not known.
In cold weather give a pailful at a

weather when thoy aro first brought In,
first spongo out tho mouth and nostrils
well with cold water. After a fow spong

Then give thorn not to excood a pailful
