Your grand- father had been my playmate, hero and protector from the time that I was old enough to go to school. I had nev- er thought of marrying any one but him, and so when he asked me to be his wife, why, of course, I said "Yes." Well, it was in the spring of 1775 that we were to be planted. Mother and I spent the winter getting my things made up, and I bad as fine an outfit as a girl could possibly have in those days. The day set for the wed- ding was the 19th of April—yes, the very day on which the battle of Lex- ington occurred, as I have iood reason to remember... Those were anxious days for us. I remember how serious my father and brothers used to look as they discussed the events which were then taking place. Their only conversation was about rights, stamps and taxes. troops to deata0Y the supplies which Inive been etored at Concord. if the report is true, there will be resistance, and if it comes to that it will be very serious bust/less for us." a.Ey mother kept her fears to herself and did lier best to make me feel that It would. come out all right, but these hours were the most anxions I ever spent. So V.11.01101 the day we watch- ed and waited for news. The first news that came to u$ from the fight at Lexingtorf and the other doings of that day arrived about 6 o'clock- in the afternoon, when some minutemen from another town stopped at the tavern on their way home. They told the story of the day to the little crowd of anxious women who eagerly questioned them for news of some dear one. My father would not let me go down to the tavern, but went down himself and brought us the news. I can see him now hurrying along the road. "Something unusual has happened, Mary!" exclaimed my mother.. "I nev- er saw your father look so excited." I hastened down the path to meet him. "Bad news, ray child; bad news!" he exclaimed. "There has been an en- counter with the king's troops." And then, reading the question in my eyes, he continued, "But they brought no news of our men." The hour set for the wedding was 8 o'clock, but it began to look as if there would be no wedding, for it was now after 7 o'clock, and none of our men had returned home. alother and I at in silence in the kitchen while father walked back and forth in the room above. At last we heard steps outside, and then my brother Arthur, who was aniong the first to reach. home, stagger- ed into the room. I sprang up and ran to him. He sank into the nearest chair, and his 'gun fell to the floor with a thud. Arthur was only a boy of 15, you must remember, and the day had been a terrible one. When he had recovered a little, my father spoke. "What news do you briug, nay son?" he asked. Now, I had felt from the first that he had brought bad news, and by the way he hesitated and glanced from fa- ther to me and still did not speak I felt sure of it. So I put my worst fears Into words. "Arthur," I said, "is it Henry?" "Listen," he said, speaking rapidly. "The king's troops were in full retreat When the towns began to raise "min- when we reached the road. We did utemen," why, of course, we raised a not keep with our companies but each company in our town, and your grand- father and my brothers were members of it. We girls could not stand guard, of course, so in order to show our pa- triotism we all signed it paper in which -.we agreed not to have anything to do with the men of the town who refused to join the company. The 19th of April was a beautiful day, though a warm one for tbe sea- son. We were all up early that morn- ing, for there was a great deal to be done. It was about 9 o'clock in the forenoon when my mother, who had been looking over some linen, suddenly raised her head, exclaiming as she did so, "Why, Mary, was that the meeting house bell?" "What can it mean?" I cried, and, running to the window, I caught sight of our neighbor's sons, Joe and John Eaton, running down the road with their guns. Across the way Harry Wright was plowing the field. The boys called out to him as they passed, and, without stopping to unhitch the horse, be seized his gun and was off across the fields. "It is an alarm, mother!" I cried. "The boys are down by the brook," she said. "The sound will not reach them. Run and tell them!" Without delay I hurried to the kitch- en, and, seizing the horn, I ran out of the house and started for the brook, which was some distance from the house. I blew a blast on the horn as I ran, and as the boys caught sight of me I pointed toward the road, where several men could be seen running with their guns. The boys understood, and, waving their hands to me, they were oft across the field to the road. "What do you suppose the matter Is?" asked mother when I returned to the house. "I do not know," was my reply, "but I am going to find out." And I ran out of the house and took a short cut across the fields to the meeting house, which was to be the gathering place if the alarm should ever be sounded. I, for one, had never expected to bear any alarna, for at home we hoped for a peaceful settlement of the difficulties. But when I reached the church and t* It $t et, 0 et et lyt St 0 THE x OF 4,0 se 1[1 BY MATE LEROY, ea•aaee-ea..- at 0 0 0 et llt How It Can Be • Employed To Trim Snlialller Gowns 31 X Ot r1)/4",./.10/4"'4/4"b.11,6114'11/41,6"02.1t'ell°11•4"9.4"1:44,AV' .41.• .71h •,41.

There are some felt sailor shapes, and they have a plain velvet band arouud the crown and a bunch of some kind of ma- terial like dotted velvet or some °thee heavy sluff, and that is all the trimming. The bunch is generally set rather far for. ward on the left side. The ugly Ladysmith hats are here in every possible shade and color in soft felt. No kind of trimming can make these pretty, but they seem to have taken with the'women. The shapes for all oth- er hats seem to be large and mostly or) the poke form, with some slight varia- tions. Toques are larger than they really ought to be, when one remembers that every wonaan considers that if she wears a bonnet she ought not to be expected te take It off in the theater, and it is as hard to see over one of theseeas it used to be over the hats. I say used to be, for the present shapes of hats are worse than any. that have ever come under my knowledge, and the aggravating thing is that with the rolls and built up scaffold- ing of lace and malines the hats are so uniformly big there is no way of seeing around them, above or between the trim- mings as we once could do. A very pretty toque was among the things I saw, and this was built of pink gauze ribbon and black lace all twisted and twined together, and directly upon the crown there Was a bunch of black lace and pink roses. There were no strings. Now let us talk about the dainty lacy things with which all feminine minds aro now occupied. There was a dress,of fine brussels net made plain to the knees, and from there it had an applique of Irish point in rather large design. This reach- ed to the bottom, and there was a bolero of the same at the waist. Beginning at the throat, there was a trinaming of rib- bons in bunches, each fastened to the next one by two lines of the ribbon, and the bunches each had from six to ten rows of narrow. ribbon. The dress was white and the lace butter color, and the ribbon was white. The sleeves were long and had cuffs of the lace, and there were caps to the sleeves, also of the lace. . So many things can be done with this lace that one could not begin to tell the half. Yokes, guinapes, collars and no end of separate pieces, besides flounces, all are seen. and the numberof pretty boleros and figaros and fichus are legion. They all serve to beautify anything on which they are put. There is a waist of crossbarred or- gandie in a delicate shade of lilac, with white bars, and the lace is wrought into vandyke points all around the neck like O guimpe and also added to the sleeves and to the belt. It is a very dainty ar- rangement for a young figure. Another way of using lace ,with fine effect on a dress for summer is shown ID the illustration. An applique is set all arormd the skirt and on the waist in shape of a figaro in conjunction with the material, whicb is in this instance khaki cloth in the color known by that name.'" Part of the skirt is laid in plaits, bat the rest is straight, and the straight por- tion is where the lace is applied, ftIld that is put on in a straggling pattern. The ilolds in the skirt reach 'only to the knees, and all the rest is plain. The alcoves and the figaro are also tucked, and the lace like the trail of the Serpent, is over it al, A novel arrangement of lace is seen in the organdie gown, and this is the first time this season this kind of lace has been used. It is fine v,alenciennes and ie so antinged as to make a yoke, and the puffs on the sleeves make the new under - sleeve.

MAROONED ON AN ISLAND.• BY M. QUAIL Copyright, 1900, by C. B. Lewie, 44.1444a14-1414.4.1-40-14-14+4014+ If you had a chart before, you, you would see that Wakes 'eland is a bit of a dot in the Pacific ocean, lying a little south of the regular sailing route between Honolulu and Yokohama. Now and then it is sighted by steamer or sailing vessel making the passage, but the great majority pass it by 200 miles to the north. The traders call there occasionally for water or fuel, but as there are no inhabitants there can be no trade. It is an island three miles long by one and a half broad, and it waa thrown to the surface by an earthquake. There Is but one spot where a landing can be made even in the calmest weather, as its shores are rocky and rise to a height of from 30 to 100 feet. 11Iuch of the island is wooded, and bowlders lie about every- where, and it is probably one of the loneliest spots in the universe. For some reason which no one can explain no birds are ever found there, nor is there any animal life. The only living things are land crabs, and they are of such size and fierceness that traders have had to flee before them. In the year 1861 the bark Restless sailed out of San Francisco on a voy- age to Japan and China. She had just been purchased by a man named Rob- ert Westall, who was little known, but had suddenly made a lot of money, and the cargo was also mostly his. He went with his ship, and a fate befell him which reads stranger than fiction of the sea. He was a landsman, know- ing nothing of ships and sailors, and it transpired that the captain be selected was a thoroughly bad man, while the mate was little better. It was proba- bly the captain's idea from the outset to get possession of the ship, but West - all's suspicions were not aroused until after they had called at Honolulu and resumed the voyage. Then he over- heard observations among the crew which alarmed him, and he went -to the captain with his statements. He was told without any beating around the bush that the bark was to change hands. He was to be marooned on Wakes island, and she was to pursue her voyage as captain and crew decid- ed. It was one man against 15 and of course he was helpless. Neither threats nor promises had the slightest effect, and when he stormed he was cautioned to hold his temper, or he would be set afloat in a small boat to perish of thirst and starvation. When the island was finally reached, West - all was ordered into a boat to be rowed ashore. Not a pound of provisions or an extra article of clothing was to go with him; He was not even to hi'Ve the mearis of lijndling a fire. Rendered desperate by the situation, he made a fight for it, but was soon knocked senseless by the blow of a capstan bar, and while in that condition was rowed ashore and dumped on the beach. When he recovered consciousness, the Rest- less was sailing away and was already miles distant. Jules Verne has -told how a sailor cast away on a desert island almost naked managed to live almost luxu- riously and provide for his every want. The difference between imagination and reality was exemplified in West - all's case. He tried for days and days to produce fire by rubbing dry sticks together, but he never succeeded. He constructed a hut itt the woods, but his food consisted of shellfish, roots and wild fruits, and there was no way to replace his clothing. He soon found fresh water, and he also made the dis- covery that the spot seemed accursed of all living, things except the land crabs. As a rule these loathsome crea- tures did not bother pi,,n during clay - light, but as soon as the sun went down they swarmed over the whole ' island. They were gigantic in size, I and his only way of escaping them WaS to climb a tree. • He built a plat- form among the limbs ten feet from the .earth, and every night during his long stay he resorted to it. About once O mouth, generally at midday, the crabs would swarm by the million and hold possession of the island for two or three hours. At such limas the noise made by their claws as they passed over rock and soil was almost deafening -and gave him a great scare. Whble the man speedily recovered from the blow on the head given him on shipboard, his lonely situation soon began to tell on his wind. One day, at the end Of three months, he found that 110 had forgotten his own name. It WfIS two hours before it came to him, and then, fearful that it might -go out of his mind for good, be carved his initials on the bark of a tree with 11 ellerp stone. After malting the cir- cuit of the island three or four tinies. he settled delve near the landing place end every day for weeks mid months end yenrs 110 hoped that smile flatlet \)!011 Id put In or some ship eend in her. 1)001.

You Will wonder how a quail could have lived for a month as Westall lived for three years. For eight menthe there was a species of wild fruit some- thing like a plum Now and then a fisb was left by the tide for hlm to cap- ture, but he had to eat them raw. There were oysters and mussels and limpets clinging to the rocks, but after awhile he could hardly force himeelf to swallow them. In six months hie boots 'were gone and his clothing was in tatters, and as the days dragged away ,the man had it on his mind that his memory was failing him, When a year had gone by, he could no longer recall his identity. The initials on the tree stood for a dozen differ'ent names to him. Six months later he was little better than a wild beast. During hie second year, had lie thought to erect some sort of signal a,t the landing place—some suet] signal as a Sailor would have made—he would probably, have been rescued, as two or three traders came in for water, but he, did not even heap up stones ,or set up a bush to attract attention. He had ex- isted on the Island three years and two weeks when the American wbal- Air- ing ship Jonathan touched there' forIt' water. I was in the boat first sent ashore, and while waiting for the wa- ter casks to arrive I followed a path up into the woods and discovered West - all asleep on 'his platform. I believed him at first to be some monster gorilla., ,The' weather had turned him almost black, his hair was long and matted,' and he was without clothing. As he r•-• came tumbling down I fan away and gave the alarm. That frightened him, and seven men of us spent half a day in his capture. He fought us with the greatest ferocity, and for .a long time' we could not make out his nationality. He chattered a queer jargon or sulked, and we had put in at a Japanese port before we could keep clothing on him. , I was one of the apprentice boys on the ship, and, as the wild man had taken a great liking to me and I seem- ed to be the only one who could control him, the American consul advised that Lbe left behind with the man while the ship made a three months' circuit Quarters were provided for us, and I was instructed how to go to work in an effort to restore the poor fellow's mem- ory. By this time he bad let fall enough to satisfy us that lie was either English or American. We had also connected him in a way with the miss- ing ship Restless. She had been re- ported as leaving Honolulu, but that was the last of her. I put up a black- board and turned schoolmaster. I chalked down the letters of the alpha- bet, made figures, drew pictures and tried to start his memory to work. For a month I had no luck. The man's mind was as blank as night. He tried hard enough, and, he used to break down and weep almost daily, but he could not get hold of the end of the string. I had about given up all hope when one day as fwas gq through the usual performance memory came back to him like a flash. He suddenly uttered a shout and sprang to his feet and as I turned on him it was to findM' new look on his face and to hear him shout:"'I "Ithascorne! It has come! My name Is Robert Westall, and I can re- member everything!" So It turned out, but the shock of re- • covery brought about an illness that confined him to his beg, for weeks. When he could relate his storf, the consul went to work to find out what had become of the Restless. Inquiries were made at all the -ports of China and Japan, but no news was obtained. The search was still being prosecuted when a sandalwood trader from one of the Philippines brought the consul some wreckage picked up three years a.gone which proved that the bark had gone to the bottom. in a gale encoun- tered soon after sailing away from Wakes island. To this day there have been no tidings to alter this belief. The wretches who so coolly and de- liberately planned the death of the shipowner by starvation did not live beyond a few days to enjoy their trl- umph. The three years spent on the island made an old man of Westin be- fore his time, and he never was clear headed again, but he lived for 15 years after and managed to get together quite a little property and to spend hie. last years in peace. A Good Snake Story. The latest- authentic snake story is from Nortb Glenwood Farm, near Easton, one of the country places Talbot county, Aid. - The other day big black snake was seen, emerging front an ice pond. It was killed. A protuberauce was noticed about it middle. The snake Was chopped in two, and a porcelain turkey nest egg , , rolled out. Captain Noble Robinson was tenant on the farm last year. Mrs, Robinson. raised ,turkeys, 'using china eggs in tbeir nests. She, says' that. 14 months ago she missed the nest egg from a nest near the ice pond.
