The Huron News-Record, 1898-01-06, Page 6THE BATTLE. O fool, and how should we know What it was all about? Go to the men who sowed the erste. We simply thrashed it out. Wordy statesmen sowed the crop, And 'fore God it yielded mightily As tine on nae of stalwart men Swung wide in their ewaths full dought ily. From an eastern mut to a western sun We reaped in the harvest field, And when he rested at eventide Tho ravens garnered the yield. .A.nd with the night the gleaners Dame, Ruthless and Dunning eyed, And took their toll of the fallen crop, Peering from side to side On row on row of human chaff And here and there the grain, And Peter stood at heaven's -gate, rifting the souls or the slain. -F. E. Clayton in Lotus. A STOLEN PACKAGE. Front a yellow, faded pamphlet that lay for years on n bookshelf in an old fash- ioned farmhouse in'l'ynedale, in the north of England, the story given below is taken, William Talent was a lawyer at liea- hane in the north of England. Having to attend the assizes at Alnwick and probe- rar- i:�-sl b •land some days Chore and Mrs.T boy's parents residing about eight miles from that place, Mr. Tarbot arranged that his wie) and their daughter, a girl of 16, should accompany hint tied stay witli their relatives until he W1.113 ready to return home. The family traveled on horseback, as we, customary among country people in those days, and reached the abode of Mr. and files. Norman, the wife's parents, aft- rrs. Mr,and few hot • at leusttnt ride of a aft- er { Mrs. Norman were plain, d fashioned of people, owning their own farm and ac- counted wealthy. The next morning Mr. Tarbot rode on to Alnwick and was soon over head and oars in business. On the last day of tho court ono Wray of faiuherough paid over to blr. Tarbot IMO in Bank of England notes in settle- ment of a suit. Wray had the money in a breien paper parcel, which` ho evened in Tarhut's bedroom in the inn where they were both staying. Tho two ,nen count- ed the money, and Wray vvrappod it up in the same way in which he had produced it find laid the package on tho table, at the samle time s:ty1ng: "Now, Tarbot, you should stand some- , think, so ring the bell." "\Yhy, of course I will, with pleasure." Muir)! said, and thereupon Wray playfully turnoct hila around and ,meitedhim toward tee ?ell pull, which hung by the side of the uutl,+cl piece. • r\fter the men had drunk together they Tartest with mutual expressions of good loran;, Tarbot putting the package into his lluclet and buttoning his coat over it. An hoar later he changed his coat for a traveling one and laid- the package on a chl:ir by a window, leaving it there while he wont out upon the gallery and called the hoots to bring hire his saddle bags, Nvhieh ho had been cleaning. Having st"N•ed away his things in the hag::, ho put on his traveling coat, placed the package io his inside pocket and buttoned the coat neer his breast. Then be mounted his horse and started for the dwelling of his fat her -in-law. It was an unusually hot day in Septem- ber and a thunderstorm was raging over the ilrautpians. Fearing that he might be hindered by the swelling stream if he at- tempted to ford it, he rade two or three rr,itki out of his way to cross it by a bridge. It was well ho did so, far, though .he rode ri 1'It into the stoma 'and wits wet to the skin, he got on the safe side of the water, and t bo rest of his road was unobstructed. Nevertheless su heavy was tho storm that ho took refuge in a smithy on the outskirts of a hamlet and waited 'thorn until the blast had spent itself. ' When he reached ;quire Norman's ("Welling, it was past 9. A roaring fire soon dried his clothes and a hearty supper with int -tiled ale speedily put him to rights internally. As he sat by the neat Fntoking the squire said: "\\'o have a curious visitor here tonight -not hero exactly either, ns you'll see. When the storm was at its height, a tall, gaunt man, dressed like a- drover, came hero for shelter. We gave him all ho could "eat -and drink, and he is now asleep, I suppose, in the hayloft. Ho told us a very strange story, Ho said ho had been cast with a drove of cattle and was returning afoot when the rain caught him. He managed with some difficulty to ford the stream, and was Making his way along • the bank when he heard a cry for help. It turned out, so far as ho could learn, that a roan, in attempting to cross, had lost his footing rind was clinging desperately to the exposed roots of a tree, while the rush- ing flood was too strong for him to resist so as to get a hold of the root or anything else with his feet. It was impossible for the drover to reach him, and he shouted that fact across the flood. Then the man cried: " ' l+have a package of money hero which will bo washed away if I loso my grip. If you'll take caro of it for me, I'll share it , with you.' Throw it this way,' tho drover said. 'I 100 John Cotter and you can hoar of me at the Green Man at Carlisle any day.' •' With this the stranger hurled a package towerd the drover, which ha luckily caught," continued the squire. "Ile showed us the package and opened° it be- fore us allIt contained 12,350 in Bank of England notes." "Great Lord!" exclaimed Mr. Tarbot, clapping his band to his brenst. "Can it he pessihle- No. I feel it. The package is all safe." lie opened his coat and drew forth a brown paper package from the inside pocket. "I tell yon what, squire," he said. "I burst out into a cold sweat all over when yt„t told ,no what the drover's package contained, for I have a package of money for :1 client amonuting precisely to the sum yeti ntmned. " "Why, the drover's .package is"tire very picture of yours," said the squire. • "Untsklo perhaps; outside," said the lawyer as ho opened the package. Inside there was nothing but a lot of sheets of worthless paper cut Into the size of Bank of England notes. Tarbot was for n time struck dumb. "I've been robbed," he said savagely, hut restraining his voice. "Tb© package containing my client's money has been stolen, and this worthless package put in its place. Your drover, squire, is the thiol." "Well, it looks like it certainly," said the squire. "But what would induce the man if he were the thief to come .bore and show me the rnoney and desire to stay here all night? Wonldn't ho have got as far away with It as possible and just as quick- ly as he could?" • "It seeing so certainly," , Tarbot an- swered. "Nevertheless the circumstances aro so remarkable that I think steps ought to bo taken at once by you as a magistrate to secure tbo drover it Ito hasn't Shown t► pair of clean heels already," "I agree with you," said the squire, "and I will send for the constable at once and arrest hire." While a servant was quickly dispatched for the officer of the- law, the squire and Tarbot, eaoh armed with a pistol, quitted the house by the rear, and, being provided with a lantern, went to the stable• over which was the hayloft where the drover was supposed to be. Ascending the ladder without Iroise, the lawyer threw the light of the lantern across the floor. There, sure enough, lay tiro gaunt form of the drover, with every sign upon it of a deep sleep. Nevertheless whon the constable arrived the drover was aroused and, much to bis surprise, was informed that he was a prisoner. After he heard the explanation of the fact he laughed heartily and said: "Well, now, isn't this some trick that you aro trying to practice upon me? I vow it's clever, but it isn't fair to wake a tired man out of his first sleep for the sake,of a joke." Ho was assured that it was no joke, and, being kindly advised by the squire to go quietly with the constable, he did so. Next morning the Ludy of a murdered man was discovered on the other side of the stream about a quarter of a mile below tho bridge. It was reproved to the village lockup, and there Mr. Tarbot identified it as Wray's. The skull was fractured and the right arm broken. It was supposed that the arm was broken when raised to protect the head from a bludgeon, which wits found near the body. But this was not til, The overseer of the poor had in his charge in an outhouse village i a nl had been of the nn an who r found early that morning on tho bank of the stream with atlislocated arm and some broken ribs. Isere was a nice complication of things, such, in fact,as had never \er before come under tho notice of Squire Norman or his sun -in late, Turbot. The man with the dislocated arm was soaked and mud stained end had evidently been carried away by the overflowing stream. Turbot naturally associated hint with the person who had given the package of money to the drover for salve keeping. This turned out to he right, for the drover, being quietly intro- it mead to the place where the man was, said : "Well, neighbor, do you waut your pack- age" The man, who had been lying for some time apparently uuconselous, now bestir- red himself and, looking around and Fe:- ing that only the drover was there, ex- claimed: "What! Aro you the man I threw it to?'' "Aye, it is safe," was the reply. "When will you bo ready to divide?" "Don't say a word," said the man in a low tone. "Stay around until I am able to get away anti then I'll make it all right with you." After this all suspicion was removed from the drover, and he was taken into the counsels of the squire and Turbot. In a few days tho num was well enough to talk, and ho vas encouraged to do so by the drover, who assumed the character of a free rover looking around for what he could pick up or kneel down. The man admitted that he had taken tbo package from a strangerw'bum he met on the high- way. Ile was confronted with tho club and Wruy's corpse, but put On a bold front and denied all knowledge of them. Final- ly, however, ho confessed to tho drover that be had brained Wray and stolen the package from him, afterward taking ref- uge 1n a roadside ion, where he found an opportunity to examine and learn the na- ture of the plunder. Then he grew restless and ventured out in the storm, and in an attempt to cross tho stream missed his ford and thus came to meet the drover. Thera was nothing left to explain the abstraction from the custody of Tartest of the genuine package and the substitution of the counterfeit except that \Vray him- Felf hid designed the scheme and carried it out as ho pushed Mr. Tarbot toward the boll pull, and that in making bis way not toward llono, for that was in 0 contrary direction, but to 50)1)0 phaco where he in- tended to conceal the money, ho was met by the ruffian who murdered and robbed hon. This wretch gave the name of George Rainton, and under that ho was convicted pf the murder of Wray. It was afterward commonly asserted that his real name was that of a distinguished Northumberland family, and that through their influence the rentence was commuted to transporta- tion, and that he was allowed to cseape punishment altogether on condition of his shitting the country. --A, Beckwith in Brooklyn Citizen. Just the Man He Wants. "No, I'rn not hustling," growled the big • man who had his eyes riveted on the show window in front of hien. "The fact is that I'm too busy to stir. There's a cer- tain thing to be done, and you'll find me sitting right hero till it's accomplished. It isn't always the man that's making the most fuss that's doing the most business." "Really I don't mean to be too inquisi- tive, but you arouse my curiosity. I can't comprehend why a man of your usual push and activity should be sitting hero hour after hour glaring through that window." "Well, I don't mind telling you, but it must positively go no further. You know that my brother and I own these two stores, Ho runs everything on that side of the wall, and I look after this side. We have the same office, run one sot of books and aro full partners. Yesterday there was afellow asked permission of my brother to put 801110 ]ithogrnphs in tho windows.

Ho took them and decorated the front windows like a hill board. Then what does he do but go out of one door, come in the other, tell me a fine story about the needs of that church and sell me every infernal ono of the tick- ets!" "Going to whip him on sight, eh?"

Why Modern Bricks Are Hollow. Tho use of paper in the manufacture of high grades of bricks for interior house- work, trimmings, facings and for decora- tive purposes is evidently much on the in- crease. Already some very good samples of enameled paper brit.* have been sbown. In the latest process of making and enam- eling the paper bricks the bricks are made on the hollow pfinciple. The object of making the brick hollow is practically the same as sought in the making of hollow forged steel shafting. Not only is a defect- ive center removed, but it is possible to put a mandrel into the hollow, and by ap- plying pressure, the walls aro operated upon both from the inside and the outside. When a solid body is heated, the tem- perature of the interior always varies from that of the outer portion at first, often re- sulting in an expansion of one or tho oth- er that causes defects. For those reasons the plan of forming the bricks upon the hollow principle, plugging them after- ward, is recommended. be vd rstissfound to be a good filler. It is first fireproofed, as is also the paper pulp used in the bricks. Then it is nixed with cement apd pressed into the hollow of the bricks, smoothed and enameled over, making a perfect shapo.-Philedclphia Record.
