The Latest taterlos By Pepuiar, Well - Known Authors, Light Beading For the Rays and Gar's- INJUN JOE. IDDEN away from the e . otous world is rustic littlMoose VillageEv- - enybody in the Ottawa Valley knows it. The brown river Rows slow- ly past as if sorry te leave it ; the inhabitants aro wont to remark that nothing but death or a bear hunt " way back on the nation" can ever draw them away; and. last, but not 1f3ast, when "Injun Joe" fixed up his wig - were on the Point, although he didn't know it, people concluded that they might reckon on him as a permanency. The Point was about half a mile above She village, and. its silver sands ran a long way out. Just at the extreme edge, within a few feat of the lapping water, and. sheltered by one majestic sugar maple, Injun Toe's quaint little tent drew the attention of wanderingartists as they went down in the boat. All sorts of sto- ries were invented about Joe, but none really knew where he had been dragged up. Some said that he was an Indian sachem of the Ircq-uois come to life again because he had misconducted himself in the happy hunting grounds. This, how- ever, was generally regarded in. Millar's store as an elaborate fiction invented by that blonde young humorist Barney Ma- guire. " You see, boys," that worthy would observe to the crowd, "it's this way : That there Injun's been let loose by one of them Montreallers who go about digging in the mountains for In- dian graves. An' now they've let him out, of course he ain't goin' back to a place where there ain't no whiskey. You bet your boots that's about the size of it," and Barney, absently taking a plug of his neighbor's tobacco, went out into the night. It was a lovely summer night. The air was filled with dancing fireflies, weaving and winding in and out the long grass, and. waylaying one another in the whis- pering leaves of bushes. In and. out, their little lamps went flickering through the night in such heedless, happy merri- ment that Barney stopped to look at them. All the world, was full of fireffies. He seemed to be treading on them, and with drunken gravity began to lift his feet high not to erush their little lives out. At this moment a bigger light gleamed up before him'in the distance. It seemed to be an enormous firefly beck- oning him on through the village and into the cool languorous depths of the summer night. Close by "the river wandered at its own sweet will." Only the voices of the raftsmen, as they made for the falls, broke the stillness. Barney pulled up and listened to them. " That's so," he said, with drunken gravity. "I guess you've about fixed it. Row, broth- ers, row, the stream runs fast. The fire- flies are — No, that's wrongs That's wrong, Barney. I say it's wrong. If you don't believe me, catch one and ask him." He set off in a sidelong kir d of run, sat down on nothingness and suddenly col- lapsed in the middle of the road.. " I've got you," he said. in triumph to an imag- inary fixelly. "Excuse roe sittin' on you. but you are such slippery little erit- turs. You've only got to pogglesse, an' I'll gib." The firefly didn't apologize, for the simple reason that it was a hundred yards away. This suddenly dawned upon Barney, and he followed it through the long grass. The ripple of the flowing tide sounded more loudly in his ears, and insensibly drew him to the river shore. Right out on the point the big firefly glowed stead- ily, but not like the others. It was a fixed light. When the others closed their tiny wings the lights disappeared, but this monstrous firefly was visible all the time. Barney followed on, keeping in the shadows of the willows which fringed the shore. He didn't want to go on, but some irresistible power impelled him to do so. Suddenly he found himself with- in twenty yards of the Point, and—sober. He slunk down behind the bushes in amazement, for the firefly which he had followed. was the light of Injun Joe's camp fire, and Injun Joe was there; but not the Injun Joe the laugh and scorn and mock of the village, but another be- ing altogether—a full-blooded, brave in his war paint, with tomahawk and rifle by his side and his eopper-colored cheeks glowing in the firelight with vermillion. A. long scalp -lock hung from his shaven crown. " Gosh, what's this ?" said, the per- plexed Barney. The boys will think I'm dreaming." The Indian did. not stir or give one sign of life, He looked across the river at the long range of the Laurentian hills, as if marking the dark sweep of the pines whieh crested their summits. He seemed to be waiting. Barney crept a little nearer. Suddenly- a birch bark canoe shot out from a little island in the middle of the river and glided noiselessly through the night. It was paddled by a squaw. She was °led in deerskin, and. a toque of eagle feathers rose from her long, flowing tressen "Come, Illy -white brother, come,'said Injun Soca without lookingareund, "Ls. iota waits." Barney came forward with an 'uneasy laugh, "I reckon, old. Fenimore Cooper, you'll have the judge does*. on you if you're up to any of your larks," "Come,' said. Injun Joe, gravely, and Barney stepped into the panoe, whieh sank nearly td the -,- a‘ter)na edge. The scina'w Paddled -'s noieelesslY, with swift', rapid strokes, across the river until they reached the opposite shore, They got out and. beached the eanoe, " Come," said Nun Joe, leading the way, and. Barney, humoring the joke, fell into single ele, • They went on through the dark night, treading upon the noiseless needles of the p ines. The boughs bent down and hid the moon, Barney began to shiver. Was it a phantom in front of hira, or only a drunken Iroquis bent upon some mad folly inspired by whiskey? Presently they began to climb the mountain. side. Injun Joe went in front with catlike activity. Barney began to feel blown, but followed his guide until they emerged into a little glade or clear- ing entirely free from pines, and covered with a short, smooth turf. The moon sailed overhead, an owl cast a slanting shadow on the grass as it swept up into the light. In the centre of the glade was another camp fire, and around this were sitting fcur Indian braves. Paint, scalp locks, weapons—all were there. A little to one side of the fire was a post sunk in the ground. It was chipped and scarred and stained with dark streaks. Could they be blood? Barney turned to flee, but he felt that he was covered.. "I didn't count on this yere picnic, gents," he said, with reck- less effrontery. " Mebbeyou'rereckonin' on a war dance ? I'm not the one to spoil fun. Go ahead." They went ahead in a most unpleasant manner. Barney was dragged to the post and tied to it with deerskin thongs in a sitting posture. The Indians re- sumed their seats round the fire, Barney took out his pipe and began to smoke. A grunt of approval went up from the grisly forms by the fire, "I- kin wait if you kin, gentlemen," said Barney, his blue eyes dancing with fun. " Mebbe you'll makeup your minds what you're going to do with me." The squaw appeared with a little birch basket, and each Indian cast a black bean into it. "I don't seena to take a hand in this yere game," said Barney, with unabated good humor. " Say him prayer to Manitou," said Injun Joe, "hum come heap soon." He touched the handle of his tomahawk in a sufficiently grim manner to be unpleas- ant. It suddenly occurred to Barney that it wasn't a joke, and a cold shiver ran down his spine. Injun Joe watchedhimkeenly. "Where French Lefebre ?" he said. " Got him scalp." He produced a handful of black hair, clotted with blood. It was incredible! Barney remem- bered. that French Lefebre had suddenly disappeared some months ago, but as ev- eryone supposed. he had gone into the lumber camps no one but his creditors took any interest in the matter, or asso- ciated his departure with the half dozen or so of miserable Indians who lingered out their lives in. holes and corners of the Ottawa Valley. Barney had often bought baskets from the squaw, and once when the boys tried to stone her, he had cov- ered her body witb his own. There was still a scar on his cheek from the blow of a stone which one young rascal had flung at him. French Lefebre had ones struck this very woman, who was still young and. good-looking. Was it possible that these remnants of their race had met to avenge their wrongs ? No one would even dream of smile thing. They would doff their paint and go slouching about in. their usual noiseless manner, and en- snare fresh victims. And there was the judge's daughter, too ! "Gob to say, say him quick," said Injun joe, fingering his knife with an artistic precision. which was not nice to witness. "1 reckon, if you've made up your minds, gentlemen," said Barney, " it's no use my spoilin' this yere funeral." Injun Joe sprang at him withthe knife, and Barney thought of the judge's daugh- ter and. said a little prayer. If he had. to go under to avenge the wrongs of this last remnant of their race it was no use attempting to argue the matter when they held all the cards. Injun Joe made a slight gash in Bar- ney's arm and drew back. The other four Indians did the same. Then the wo- man came forward, bound up his arm and cut him loose. Barney continued smoking with undis- turbed gravity. . It had. all flashed upon him in a second. This was the Indian method of showing appreciation of the way in which he had saved the squaw. He had become a blood -brother of thelast of the Troquoia. He wondered if they would expect him to sell Indian toys in Moose Valley or to shoot at (he was sure to miss them) five -cent pieces with ar- rows. "Rim heap brave," said Injun Zoe, with a painful disregard of Fenimore Cooper's studied and. graramatieal phrases. "Him heap brave. Him white man." the show'cis over ?" asked Barney ' stretching himself. The others had dis- appeared. Only Injunjoe and the squaw remained. They fell into Indian file, and marched down to the beach, through the long sombre ranks of the pines. Then they entered the little canoe and paddled up to the Point. Berney inset Injrati joss in the village next day. That worthy was loafing round with a string of ash. Barney thought he must have been dreaming, and, that it would be betters to avoid Da- vis' pain killer as a stimulent in the fut- ure. It was a little too powerful in its after effects. But as he ksat on the 1/01, ands, that evenifig withothe judge's daugh- ter she gave a little shriSk and turned white. Seen. a mouse ?" asked Barney, try- ing to reassure her, "Your sleeve is slashed and. there is blood on it," she said. "Barney, Bar- ney, you have been quarreling again." '1 sorter remember fallin.' off the wood pile," said Barney, with unblushing mendacity. "reckon it shook me up, an' 1,11 go early to -night.' " Curious folk wimmen are," mused Barney, as he wended his way in the di- reetion of the Point, " She'd never be- lieve I'm an Iroquois brave if I talkedfor a month. She'd say it was all that pain killer." Injun Joe was sitting by his fire malting nets. 'Why does ray red brother toil for the pale face ?" said Barney, calling up recollections of Deerslayer, etc. He is a squaw—a catfish. Ugh !" Injun Jbe's sphinxlike face gleamed faintly for a moment at the word "broth- er." Then lac went on quietly making his nets. But French Lefebre was never • seen again. Proving III4Theories. Wanted -Valet; must have good references, Apply A, D. Goodman, King's Rond, Chelsea. Such was the advertisement which a13- peared in several of the London dailies. At 10 o'cloek the same morning a short, thick -set man, with an extremely red. nose showing that he had been a high liver in the servants' hall, knocked at the door of the house on King's Road. A neatly at- tired servant girl, with a muslin cap perched on her pretty features, appeared on the threshold. "Is •Mr. Goodman in?" asked the caller: " He is," responded the girl, with sev- eral critical glances at the manwho stood before her. "1 should like to see him on business." "Step in." The visitor was ushered into a bright front room. "What name shall I say ?" " Mr. Smiler." The girl disappeared. Then the man began to examine the apartment in a leisurely manner. Several handsome paintings and quite a collection of rare bric-a-brac bore ample testimony to the hartousise.tic propensities of the master of the " Some swell, evidently," murmured the man with the red face. The girl reappeared. "Master wants to know what's your business." "I called in reference to an advertise- ment for a valet." " Oh!" She tossedher head and again. vanished. About five minutes elapsed, and then the girl entered the room. "You can wait here," she said. "Mas- ter isn't up yet." For forty minutes the visitor was left to his reflections. " Must be some blooming sport," he coramented. Then the door opened and a tall, pale gentleman entered the room in a languid fashion, picked up the morn- ing paper and carelessly scanned the con- tents, as though oblivious to the pres- ence of the visitor. He read the tele- graphic news and then the local. The servant brought in a tray upon which reposed breakfast bacon, eggs, a cup of coffee and rolls. The gentleman put up his nose and said.: "Jane, take away those dishes. Leave the coffee." The servant silently obeyed. "His appetite isn't good to -day," com- mented the caller. The gentleman sip- ped the coffee with apparent relish, read again the cable article from Paris and finally lighted a cigar. All this time the, visitor remained standing respectfully. At last he ventured to cough, and the gentleman, turning to him, remarked: " Aav—you called about the advertise- ment?" " Yes, sir." "Where are your references ?" "Here, sir," and he took from his pocket a bulky packagai " Well, I don't care t see them." " I served last the Duke of—" " What the devil do I care whom you served ? Will you accept a guinea a week and expenses ?" "Yes, sir." "Very well; we leave to -night for Paris. See that everything is ready." With that the gentleman took up his hat and cane and strolled out of the house in a leisurely, half -bored way. "Es is a rum un," commented the vis- itor. Two days later the gentleman and his servants were quartered in Paris. The former has rented a magnificently fur- nished house in the fashionable part of the city. Try as he would, Smiler could learn little of his new master. He came and went. He usually arrived home about 2 in the morning, and sometimes Smiler had to put him to bed. He got up anywhere between 10 o'clock and noon. Sometimes he breakfasted heart- ily; at other times he merely sipped his coffee. Smiler was commissioned to buy tickets for every fashionable event, from the opera to the races, and he always came and departed in a private carriage, quite an elegant equipage. About this time the Parisian newspapers were agita- ting the matter of the remarkable tests in spiritualism given before the eminent gentlemen by a peasant woman in Milan. The psychological society was in session in the French capital, and the comments on the feats performed in Italy were made more interesting by the presence of a re- nowned English mind reader, This gen- tleman showed great aptitude in ferret- ing out criminals, and his accuracy- in this respect made him feared by the wrong doers. Mr. Smiler read of these wonders, but being of a skeptical dispo- sition pooh-poohed. them. One morning when the gentleman was sipping his cof- fee, into -which he had placed a few drops of cognae, he looked up from his paper and said to Smiler: "Markham, the mind reader, hag run down another criminal, Smiler. What do, you think of that ?" I might venture an opinion, sir, I should say that it is all bosh." " Ali bosh, eh? May I ask why ?" "Well, sir, it stands to reason, sir, that no man can read whatls going on in another manta mind. It's againet tiatsire, • sir, MY idea is, sir, that, this men, this fraud, I will cell him, sir, is in °allusion with these fellows and pays 'eni That is my impression, sir. Easiest thing to litanayug these French se,yants, sir, A eeiminal, sir, can't be detected except by detectives, and, they rnalte'sai awful botch of ‘oyouiit4sir,"(loyal t believe in it?" The gentleman was now drinking his second eup of coffee, " That I don't, sir." " Well, now, suppose that I give you little practical deinOriStratiOn.” ("You,°0,I'vesir'studied.?'a little in that line as an amateur. Suppose, for example, I were to read your mind, Smiler," "You couldn't do it, sir." " I should say you were a faithful, hon- est fellow, who always served his mater's interests." Smiler gave a deprecating gesture. It wouldn't take no mind reader to tell that, sir." "Bub wouldn't it take a mind. reader to tell, Smiler, what you've got in your pocketbook?" Smiler turned pale. " As an amateur, Smiler, mind I don't pretend to be accurate; I should say that if anyone should look in that pocketbook he would find my ruby scarf -pin and my emerald and diamond. ring." Smiler nearly went into a fit. " Of course I have so many rings and. pins that unless I was a mind reader I would never have missedthese. And, let me say, Smiler, in your trunk you have three pairs of my trousers. Those would not be easily missed, either. Also about fifteen neckties and collars and cuffs in- numerable." By this time Smiler was as pale as a ghost. " If I were to read your mind a little further as an amateur I would tell you that on the 20th day of September you went to a pawnshop on the Rue di Rivoli and there disposed of three seal rings and a watch, for which you received 500 francs. They chea.ed you, Smiler. You should have got double that amount. From there 301.1 went to a bank, like the thrifty, honest, frugal fellow that you are, and opened up an account. On the 28dof September, with commendable in- dustry:, you added to your little horde by disposing of my gold -mounted stick, the one presented, me by the Baron Roths- °Mids. You carefully obliterated the names. I commend your caution. Four days afterward you sold, or rather pawn- ed, sundry articles in four different places which I won't take the time to enumer- ate. In all you have 1,500 francs in the bank and 20 francs in your pocketbook, together with other articles of mine which you were about to get rid of this morn- ing-. You have been quite thrifty, and inside of a month it was your intention to draw out your money and emigrate to America, whore you are desirous of set- ting up ba trade. This has been your dream, Smiler, the life of a prosperous and honest tradesman. Am I right, Smiler ? If I have made any mistakes attribute it to the fact that I am but an amateur." But Smiler was speechless. " To continue, or rather to go back into the past, I reacl that you robbed all your masters before me, only they were not mind. readers in an amateur way and attributed the loss of different things, to natural shrinkage. When you first en- tered my apartments in. King's Road your thoughts were regarding my worldly pessessions. You saw much that.ma,de you sure I was a man of means. After I entered the room I was seemingly busy reading the newspaper. Really, Smiler, I was reading you. I did not want to see your references. They were superfluous. The man himself stood before me. There was the reference. I determined to make a little study of you. You interested me at once, for I recognized in you a lhief of many years' training, a thief who had pilfered for all his life and never been de- tected. Here, I thought, is a subject worthy' of my attention; here is a case which will edify and amuse me, So I took you to my bosom, Smiler, and em- ployed you on the spot. As you stood there waiting for me to address you the thoughts that flashed. through your mind were : I can easjly get away with one of those Dresdenware vases. He has so many of them that he will never miss it. Then henaustIse a careless sort of a swell, one of those spendthrifts. He will come home inebriated every njght. If a pin, a ring, a watch or some other article disap- pears he will think he lost it somewhere the night before. Here's a swell that pays no attention to his personal effects. All he thinks of is having a jolly good time.' Am I right, Smiler ?" But Smiler never relapsed from his col- lapsed condition. "You began to pilfer when you pur- chased the tickets to France. 'You made ten shillings on the tickets. You put aside for yourself five shillings from the purchases from the trunkmaker. Do not deny it, for it is written indelibly on your mind. I took to you right &way. Here's a precious rascal,' I thought. Here's a servant worth having.' You will remem- ber that I commended you for your faith- fulness. And now, Smile ,r do you be- lieve in mind reading ? By the way, where are those pawn tickets? and kindly hand. me your bankbook." Smiler obeyed without a word. "And now it wouldn't take a mind reader to tell what is going to happen." The languid gentleman went to the door and ushered in two officers. Smiler fell upon his knees. Mercy, mercy," he said. "You corroborate all I have said," re; marked the gentleman., .with mild inter- est. "Yes, yes, I confess. Don't put me in jail." "I am sorry, Smiler, but I have fin- ished with my subjeet. I now turn him over to the law. Officers, do your duty." "Very well, Mr. Markham," replied one of the officers. Markham?" groaned Smiler. "The same," replied the languid gen- tleman. "The great English mind reader ?" "1 am he. I advertised not for a valet, but for a, subject, I wanted to prove some of my theories to the society of sa- vants here. You have proved a very good subject. I shall write out the re- sults of my investigations to -night, and then if you care to have the law deal leniently with you, you will sign it. I will then read the paper before the soci- ety. My enemies will have to concede that my work is incomparable. By the way, Smiler, have I converted you to a belief in mind reading ?' "Yon have, sir," groaned Smiler. " And now, officers, take him away, as I have a little work to do." With that the languid gentleman turn- ed and entered his study. Smiler straightened himself up dis- mally. and what's against nature can't be done, ," Well, I'm Wowed," he said, Y.sa, 'q1'it" N 1: • 4 4 WEAK, NERVOUSADISEASED MEN Thousandof ',bang and litiddle Aged Men are annually wept to a premature grave tlirough early indiscretion and lathe exceeses.

Children Cry for Pitche Cast via. HE RESPECTED THEIR FEELINGS. Why the Lady Did Not Have Chicken for Breakfast. A lady who has recently moved into a pleasant suburban home tells this story as one of her experiences in domestic matters: I told my man -of -all -work ono day to kill a pair of fowls, and expected to find them served for breakfast, but as they were not concluded that he had forgotten the order. So 1 reperted it, with the same result. This time I asked him very de- cidedly what he meant—if he understood that I wished the fowls killed. He made some trivial excuse, and 1 told him in a manner there was no mistaking that I expected the matter to be attended to at once. I also doubled the number—he was to kill four instead of two, as I wanted them for dinner. The next, morning I met him in the grounds and asked him if he had killed the fowls. " Yes' in,' he said dejectedly, 'I've done it. I tried not to let the other chickens ::now, and I crawled into the henhouse after dark and took 'em outi but they all knew it, ma'am, and it lust breaks me up.' "'But,James, what do you mean by saying that they all knew it ?" "'Why, ma'am, when I went out to feed them this morning they looked at me and run away, them chickens as I've raised by hand, as you might say, ma'am, and I couldn't eat a bone of 'em, not if I was starving—it would be just as if I was eatin' my own flesh and blood,' " And," continued the mistress "the tears actually stood in the eyes o'f that rough laborer, and I felt as if I was the accessory before a Murder."
