White Hand i A Ta!a of tha Early Settlers! of Louisiana. X BY AUSTIN C. BURDICK I ft CHAPTER XIX. (Continued.) Th old chief took the youth i bsod, nd hiring gazed Into his faca a few mo menta, ha said: "White Hand, you once gave me an oath, but from all oatha you have ever given me I now absolve you. Coqualla has told me all. She has told me how true you are In heart, and how yet you long for the home of your childhood. I do not think your father has falK'n in this general massacre, for his place Is strong, and the red men owe him no grudge. Yet he may have fallen with the rest. If he has, you may sometime find opportunity to reach your" native land. But you are under no oath now. Of what has now happened I will not peak, only to say that you cannot see nor understand all that has led us to this fearful work. The story of the white man's rule is everywhere the same. Where a tribe, or a people, have made peace and accepted the friendship of the French, they have become weak aud puny. White Hand, I have a strange love for thee, but I hate thy people. And ' that thy father almost hates them too has drawn my heart towards him. But we could not see our people being grad ually swept away, and our homes torn from us, without striking this blow. Vet Stung Serpent has fallen. The bullet of the white man has found his life. But he dies content The white man has fall en, too." The old chieftain sank back exhausted as he ceased speaking, and for some mo ments he remained with his eyes closed. When be opened them again, White Hand spoke. , "My father," he said, "ere the hand of death has done its work upon thee, wilt thou not tell me why I was taken from my father's house? Surely you cannot object to tell me all now?' "No, my child, I have no objections. for I never promised not to tell. And when I sent for thee now, I meant to tell thee all. Do you remember when your father met me In the woods near his dwelling?" "Yes," returned White Hand, bending over with eager Interest. "Well, I had then been to see Simon Lobols. By some means he learned that I was down the river, and he sent for me. He had heard that I was a savage chieftain, and a lover of gold. I met him In the woods, and he proposed to me that I should seize St. Julieu's son and lay him, and for this he offered to pay me a hundred pieces of gold. But 1 spurned the offer and left bim. I came home, and told my brother what Lobols had said to me, and he pondered upon the subject in a new light. You know the Natchez often send messengers to the Great Spirit, and the Great Sun had wished to send a white messenger to the white man's God, even as we told you when you first came here. At length I fell In with his views, and. I knew of no one whose spirit would be surer of ad' mission to your God than the spirit of Louis St. Julien, for I knew him to be a good youth. So I returned to your fath er's house and saw Lobols again, ami he told me he had hired a party of Chlcka aws to kill you, but that you and your companion had killed them all six of them. I then offered to do what he wish ed. But this time his wants had receiv ed an addition. He not only wanted the on killed, but he wanted the daughter captured and carried off towards New Orleans. I agreed to this; but I made him give me a written promise to pay me the money when the work should be done. He hesitated at first, but at length he wrote the pledge and signed it; anl then it was arranged that Louise should be left upon the bank of Lake i'ontcliar train, at the end of the middle trail, and I pledged myself to take you with me and kill you, for you know this had been my purpose in seeking you." "But the paper the pledge yon had of Lobola where Is it?" uttered White Hand. "It Is safe. Coqualla, go to my cloaet, and you will find it in the oaken casket." The princess went, and in the box she found the paper, which she banded to . her father. He took it, and having open! ed it, be handed It to hite Hand, say ing, as he did so: "Here It Is yonrs. And now all I ask is pardon." "For all that you have done to me," murmured the youth, "I pardon you from the bottom of my soul; for you may have been an iustrument In the hands of heaven for saving my life. Had yon not taken me, another would, and I should not have lived. So I shall, after all, re member Stung Serpeut with more of gratitude than of complaint or anger." "Do you mean that?" "I do." Stung Serpent raised himself upon his ' elbow, and caught the youth by the hand. "Coqualla," be whispered, "where art thou?" "Here, my father." "I have been kind to thee. If It lays in thy power, help White Hand to his people. Is It Coqualla I see?" ' "Yes. Are you faint?" "Faint? Stung Serpent falut? No! Up, warriors of the Natchez, and strike for your homes! Who shall fear the das tards now? My braves, remember the trophies you have won under Stung Ser pent's lead. Strike strike, now, for your honor, your homes, and for the tombs ef your ancestors! Sink your blades to tht pole, and leave not a man of them all to tell their king the tale! Now! On to the death!" One long, loud warcry followed this paroxysm, and as it ended in a low, gurg ling sound, the chieftain sank back. Co qualla moved to his side and knelt over him, and in a moment more the loud cries of the women rent the air, for Stung Ser peut was dead! CIIArTER XX. There was consternation for a while in the village of the White Apple when it was known that Stung Serpent was dead, for he had been an important man among the Natchez, At the end of four days, the body was made ready for the grave, and nine persons, with ropes about their necks, remained fasting by It. "And are all these people to die?" ask ed White Hand, after be and Coqualla had retired to their own dwelling. "Yes. And but for the Intercessions of my father himself, many more would have died." "It Is a cruel practice," said the youth, aadly. "Cruel?" repeated the prlno-a. In sur prise. "Why do yon say so?" "Because one death is enough. Why should o many be added?" "Ah," answered Coqualla. Ingenuous ly, "yon do not nudernt.md. Your peo- ; pie hare not such love for the departed M wt bar. It is a long, lijrk rvaJ which i I my father has now to travel, tad surely It is fitting he should hare company." "And doet this always happen when one of your people dies?" "Certainly; though some have not so many companions; but all havo one. When the last Great Sun died, there were one hundred who went to keep bim company over the dark road." "So many?" "Yes and of course they were happy, for with him they were at once admitted to the happy home where the Great Spirit Is." "But," queried White Hand, "Stung Serpent has been dead now four days, and these people will not die until to night How, then,' shall they go togeth er?" "Ah," returned Coqualla, with a faint smile, which seemed to Indicate a pity for her companion's ignorance, "my fath er's spirit will not start alone. It re mains near the old body until the other spirits join it, and then they all go off together. Do you not understand?" . "Yes." "And is it not right and proper?" "It is, if you think so; but I should hardly dare give my voice in favor of it. Why, look, Coqualla, and tell me if this very thing has not already reduced your nation from a once powerful people to a mere handful." "My father spoke of that ere he died," answered the princess, thoughtfully. "He said he wished only his few immediate companions to go with him beyond the grave, and even they must be old peo ple." "And he was right, Coqualla. I have heard that the Natchez were once a mighty race a great nation, numbering their warriors by the msny thousands, and now they have only a very Tew hun dred. In a large community, under or dinary circumstances, the births will not much overrun the deaths by nature. But see here not only do your people die off as do others, but for every one who dice naturally from one to a hundred more must be killed to keep them company." "I know," said Coqualla, thoughtfully "I know. But still it were cruel to send my father's spirit away over the dark, long trail alone. Your people do not think of this. They do not thiqk of the loved spirit wandering away in the dark alone." "Yes they do, Coqualla." "They do?" "Yes." "And yet they send them no company." "Ah, their company comes from the other 'way," spoke White Hand, aoftly and sweetly. "When a human soul de parts, we, or I, believe that the loved ones who have gone before come down to lead the new-born spirit away to heav en. I have a mother there, Coqualla, an J I think she will come down to earth when my spirit departs, and welcome me to the home of the blest ones. Sure ly they know the way through the dark valley better than we could, or better than any othera of earth." Gradually the Indian girl's hands were brought together ores her bosom, and her head was bowed. When she looked up there was a strange light In her eyea and a soft, hopeful expression dwelt upon her dusky features. "White Hand," she whispered, "tell me that again." "Is not the theme more pleasing than the strangling of helpless victims over the graves of the dead?" the youth ask ed, kindly. "Yes yes. But tell me more." And White Hand went on and whis pered into his companion's ear the whole of his own pure faith In God and the ris en Saviour; and when he had done the princess murmured: "It is sweet, and It is better than the faith I have been taught." She bowed her head again, and this time she remained a long while thought ful; and when she next looked up, a change had come over her countenance. "White Hand," she said, "I promised my father that I would help you escape from here, if yon wished. What have 1 to remain here for? My father is dead; I have no brother or sister, and the ways of my people are not pleasant to me. May I not go with you?" The youth threw his arms about the fair speaker's neck and drew her upon his bosom. "Coqualla, speak but the word, and I'll die in thy service, if necessary, to lead you to my father's home. O, we will not be separated.' ' The burial was over.' Stung Serpent reposed in his grave, and by his side lay the bodies of those who had, in obedi ence to the cruel faith and custom, given np their lives that they might keep their loved chief company In bla dark journey. And once more the Natchez commenced their mad orgies over their victory, for they were not yet satiated. Late at night, while the warriors were dancing and howling In the square, Prick ed Arm came to While Hand's lodge and called him out. The youth could not ste her face in the gloom, but from the man ner of her breathing, he could tell that she was deeply moved by something. "White Hand," she said, "our plot has worked exceeding well. Not a blow has been struck save here at Natchez; so the great mass of the French are saved. But thou art In danger here. The moment the Natchez find that their plan has fail ed they will suspect thee, for it has been whispered that you visited the .tem ple, and the Great Sun, when he looked towarda the west for the moon last night and saw it not, was perplexed. This night they saw the new moon for the first time, and they remembered, for the first time, too, that the moon ought to have been a week old. Amid their mad Joy they have not thought of this before. But they think of it now, and fear has al ready seized upon some of them, though those few keep it to themselves. Now you can judge how much risk yon run." "And will they suspect meY" the youth uttered, tremulously. "They will be likely to; for yon are of the hated people, and your powerful friend la dead. Dark, angry eyea have been bent upon you, because you hare shown your loathing of the cruelties you have witnessed. And, again, the Kren a will soon be on the Nstchez trail. The future is dark for us all, but you may escape. Can you not remember the trail by which you came?" "I fear not." "But you can follow it part way from here?" "Yes, for It Is broad towarda the Til lage." "There you can take the river. Yon know the southern trail. You went it once hunting with Stung Serpent" "les I remember that "Then all is safe, follow that trail to the right and it will bring you out upon the river fifteen miles below here. Among a c-lump of brak there yoa will find a canoe. It is mine. Take it and float down the river. Still retain your pres ent garb, and let the walnut stain be up on voir face, la that way you may es cape the Natchez, ahould any of tbem meet you, and by your speech you could quickly convince the French. 1 can do no more for yon. I would have saved all the French if I could, for I loved them; yet I must follow the fortunes of my own people." White Hand thanked the aid prin vss for U. r kiatnees, and with a thoughtful step be returned to his lodge. Coqualia asked him what Tricked Arm ha J nant- - J amil U. a Anwr anil tl-d.f her ill. ru, u us . . -'"- "And will you go?" the princess asked. "Yes, I must But Coqualla, have yon changed your mind?" "Only to be more strongly bound to thee. And yet," she added, putting her arms about her husband's neck, "speak but one word simply whisper to me that thou wouldst rather go free from care or thought of me, and " "Hush. Coqualla! You wrong me now. O, I should never sleep In peace again, did I think thou remained here when thy wish was with me. But we must Ilea to-night." "I am all ready, dearest." "But we need provisions." "I have such all prepared as we can carry." "Then you have thought of this?" "Yes. But O, speak the truth, my love. If within thy inmost soul there dwells a thought" "It is all of love for thee, Coqualla. Interrupted the youth, seeing at once ber drift "So let me bear no more of it Now let us prepare." "Bless thee," murmured the fair girl, sinking upon her companion's bosom. "O, since we first spoke of this, my heart has unk deep down in Its darkest mood when the thought of staying here baa dwelt with me. Those sweet words you whispered to me have been with me ever since, and they have wrought a wonder ful change in my feelings. When we get fo our new home we will talk more about It, and yon shall teach me to read the great book wherein these precious truthi are written." "I will," promised White Hand. "But the night comes on; the morning will be speedily approaching. Come w will talk on the way." Juat as the first gray streaks of dawn appeared in the east, the fugitives reach ed the great river, and wltdotit mucn trouble they found the brake and tha canoe. They easily pulled the light craft from its nest and dragged it to tne river. T .. .month, hemitifullv finished boat, fashioned from a huge log of yellow pine, and seasoned without crack or check. Into this the adventurers put their little store, and thin, with hopeful hearts, they entered and pushed out into the broad stream. (To be continued.) PIANO OF MUSICAL STONES. After Ye in or Search M. Baa Ire Co lected the Flint. It was a work of years, says L'lllus- tratlon, for M. Batidre to make the col lection of flints wbleta constitute bis geological piano. The atones do not belong to the class of resonant rocks known as "phonolytes," such as are found In Auvergue, not fur from Mout- Dore, but are flluts collected by M. Baudre with Infinite toll and search, each giving when struck a true musical note. By accident, while taking a country walk one day he picked up a fllut and. chancing to strike it, heard a faint note respond to the blow. The Idea took hold of hi in to gather, If possible, enough flints to form a complete chro matic scale. Difficulties In the search for these atones only Increased bis ar dor. For more than thirty years he pursued tbe quest making it the prin cipal aim of bis life to form out of a collection of flints the Instrument be called tbe "geological piano." From the neighborhood of the little village of the department of L'Indre, where be lived and first met with 'the singing flint, he extended bia search far and wide. Only once In a while would lie bit on tbe Ideal flint which uttered a true note with generous vibration. That was finding tbe precious stone which repaid bim for his thousand and one disappointments, his toilsome wan derings, his diligent search In atony places. After many years be bad at length got together the full scale In flint notes, and numerous examples of each, with tbe exception of one. He had been so far unsuccessful In putting his hand on the first "do." Perhaps It did not exist In nature. He gave up hope that he could meet with It lu France. He would try Canada. But tbe new world showed no trace of the Initial note of tbe octave, and M. Baudre returned to bis native land resigned to the notlpn that the chase must be abandoned In bis old age. Fortune once again smiled, and the stone of which be despaired suddenly appeared, as he was walking In Berry. - Advanced In years, he now passes his leisure in playing, as he docs with skill, on this curious piano. An Australian Fish Story. Writing from Bunbury, West Aus tralia, to a brother In London, Reginald Sbaw relates the following amazing In cident, which, be states, happened to one of his party when fishing from the Jetty: His friend bad baited his book with a large whiting, hoping to catch a king flsb, when a shark about seven feet long swallowed It! The angler gently brought the shark to the surface of the water, while a man worklug on tha Jetty came to his assistance with a big iron book and after several ineffectual attempt to Jab the book into tha shark's mouth tbe latter got away On pulling up bis line the fisherman found that be had lost the wbltlug bait, but had hooked two large ribs of beef from tbe stomach of the shark. Then, to the amusement of tbe crowd, one of whom remarked, "Well, exchange la no robbery," he landed the beef safely on the Jetty. London Mall. Li yc-le Versus a Cow.

Immigrants KM l III I M"M HUM H I II II err, HE remarkable prosperity with Mr which this country Is being blessed bas the effect of bring ing to our shores uordtof immigrants In ever Increasing numbers. Last year tbe army of Immigrants numbered over (H8.000 an Increase of 160,000 over the year before and the present year will probably see a considerable Increase lu the voluntary evils who yearly set out from the old world to bitter their conditions In the new. The great port of entry - for these thousands Is New York, and here the Government assumes Jurisdiction over (be aliens as soon as their steamer bas been passed at quarantine. In- ' fpectors go aboard from the revenue' ! cutters down the bay and obtain the manifests of alien passengers, which .the steamship companies must supply. These manifests must show; Full name, ase, sex, whether married or 'Ingle, calling or occupation, whether able to rend or write, nationality, Inst residence, seaport for lauding In the j United States, final destination In the I'tiited states, whether having a ticket j through ' to 'such destination, whether the Immigrant has paid his own pas sage, or whether It haa been paid by RUSSIAN JEWS JUST other persons, or by any corporation) society or government, whether In pos session of money, and if so whether upward of $30, whether going to Join a relative, and If so what relative and his name and address, whether ever before In the United States whether a polygamlst, whether under contract, expressed or Implied, to perforin labor lu the United States, the immigrant's condition of health, aud whether de formed or crippled, and If so from what cause. The census Is a search ing one and the questions must be all answered. At Kill Island. When the steamship reacbea her pier the Inspectors discharge such Im migrants as they may deem It neces sary to exiimlne usually not over IK or 20, says a writer in the World's Work. All the rest are transferred to barges and taken to Ellis Island. There on the main floor of the big im migration building they are divided Into groups, according - to tbe maul tests, . aud separated. Each liniiil grunt Is questioned to see if his an swers tally with the manifests. If they do not, he is detained for "spe cial Inquiry" by boards of four Inspec tors, wbo decide all questionable cases,' Only the Secretary of the Treasury can overrule their decision. The Immi grants are kept In a big detention room; nntll the railway agents take them to beard trains to their final des filiation. One of those who recently came over to become one of us was Florlo Vln- censo, wbo hailed from Palermo, Italy. He was 14 years old and traveled light. When he opened his cheap paper va lise It was apparently empty, save for a pair of discredited ajid disreputable old shoes. Florlo bowed, cap In band, and bis white teeth flashed as he suavely smiled: "I am a poor man, nobleman, seeking my fortune." There was an odor that tbe old In spector knew. He picked up one of tbe old shoes aud extracted from It a creased and crumpled bunk of Bologna sausage. Tbe other shoe was stuffed with a soft, sticky and aggressively fragrant mass of Italian cheese. These articles and a sum of Italian money equivalent' to about $1.80, and the clothes be stood in, formed the basis on which Florlo expected to rear bis fortune. " Another Immigrant, Pletro YladUll, was gray-haired, round shouldered and weazened. He, too bad come to make his fortune. His nnpedimented con sisted of a canvass valise, lined with paper and containing two striped cot ton shirts, one neckerchief of yellow silk, a black hat, a waistcoat, two pairs of hose, one pint of olive oil and half a peck hard bread biscuit. At the examination the Immigrants are asked to show their money, which, after being counted and a record made of It, Is restored to them. In one re cent year the French led all the others, with an average of 139.37. The He brews stood at the foot of the list, bringing an average of IS.58. After the French came th Italians from Northern Italy, with $23.53 per capita; Bohemians and Moravians wera next, with $22.78: Scandinavians next, with $18.10, and the Irish next with $17.10. Next to the Hebrewa the Italians from Southern Italy were lowest, with an average of $8.67.

Helatlve Merits of Immigrants. Roughly speaking, tbe North of Eu rope people make better citizens than those from the South of Europe. Tbe better class go to tbe country and the worst to tbe cities. Tbe Greeks are considered about the least desirable of all; the Italians from the southern por tion of tbe peninsula also make poor citizens; but those from tbe northern part rank with the Swiss and other de s'rable nationalities. From 1821 t V.HM), according to a recent census bul letin, over 19,000.000 Immigrants land ed In the United States. Germany sent 6,000,000; Ireland, 3,870,000: Great Britain. 3,020,000; Scandinavia. 1,240,000; Austria Hungary (includ ing Bohemia) 1,000,000; and Italy 1,000,000. Once the stream came main ly from tbe north of Europe; now it comes chiefly from the south from the undesirable countries. Cared of Korffntfulneas. A maid servant employed In a gentle man's family was at first very forget ful. The fault was especially annoy ing at mealtimes, when something es- ARRIVED AT NEW YORK TO BEGIN LIFE ANEW. sentlal was sure to be lacking from the table. The New York Press tells how the head of tbe bouse effected a cure. One day the family were seated at the, table and the bell was rung as usual. Ihe maid hurried to tbe dining room. "Maria," said Mr. Jenklnson, "Just run and fetch the big, step-ladder down from the attic and bring It here." Maria, who had been disturbed at her dinner, gave a grunt of dissatis faction, but ran up tbe three flights of stairs to fetch down the ladder. In about five minutes she returned to the room, panting with her exertion. "Now," said Mr. Jenklnson, "put It up at that end of tbe room and climb to the top." Maria did as she was told, although she wondered what It all meant. When she was at the top of the ladder, Mr. Jenklnson quietly observed: "Maria,' you have now got a better view than we have; Just look around and tell us If you can see any salt on the table. My wife and I could not find it." OBSTACLE TO THE BURGLARS. Flat Houses a Humanizing Element in Domestic Life. Sociologists who study criminal life lu large cities say that an electric light Is as good as a policemen, the presumption being that crime Is a creature of darkness. The flat build ing Is now coming In for some study on the same lines. Certain kinds of crime, at least, are almost Impossible In the modern skyso raping apartment building. "Porch climbing" Is almost a lost art, and ordinary cases of house breaking are rarely reported from these socialistic domiciles. Men wbo follow the profession of burglary find many discouragements In plying their calling In a modern flat build ing. Surreptitious entry is practically PS m BOARDING A TRAIN Imposslbte. lentlenian m.raihTb" who enter In tbe broad light of day must pass tbe scrutiny of the attend ant at the door and the elevator boy. and the tenure of these functionaries In their Jobs depends partly on their ablllty.to keep undesirable characters out of "the building, says a cortespond enTof the I'lttsburg Dispatch. Then there Is the fixed rule that packages cannot be delivered or taken out of the front door. This makes It awk ward for the burglar to leave with his plunder, necessitating as It does em barrassing explanations and delays In leaving the premises. A police cap lain said that most of the thefts com mitted In apartment houses are td be traced to servants and that these were few In number. Family rows In apart ment bouses, he also says, are rarer than In separate dwellings. Flat dwellers seem to fall In with the un written laws of neighbors' rights more quickly than those who live In iudi vldual family houses Quarrels are beard more easily through walla than across lots Hence, against their wills sometimes, wives and uusbands keep their tongues between their teeth, and durlug this enforced period of self-re straint recover their tempers. As a civilizing and refining agent the fiat no doubt does many other thlugs which will suggest themselves to dwellers therein. The observations are given forth because this phase of modern city life shows Itself more prominently In New York than else where. She Had Hnr Wish, ' A little girl who had noticed on vari ous bouses about tbe city the cards by which the board of health announces the presence of contagious disease, asked ber mother what they meant. Her mother explained,. and the child said, regretfully, "Ve never have any thing .like that on our house." "You would not want It, would you?" said the mother. "Yes, I would!" replied the little girl, decidedly. Some weeks afterward the little girl was tnken sick with chicken-pox, but was not confined to her bed. On Sun day morning the mother noticed that people passing on their way to church turned to gaze at tbe house and always went away laughing. Her curiosity was aroused, and she went to the front par lor to Investigate. In each of the front windows was a large placard made, evidently, by tbe little daughter from the side of a pasteboard box. On tbe cards she had printed: I HAVE GOT CHICKEN-POX BAD. Where Miscegenation la Prohibited. A marriage between whites and per sons of negro descent are prohibited and punishable In Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Dela ware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia.
