for the inn we hoped for did not appear-
not a house, nor a human being, our dog,
nor sheep. We might have turned back,
but we had come solar that it seemed bet

our flutes brutlshly, and our legs wore like
mechanical metal cylinders, had it not
been for their aching, and to add to our
weary dismay the nightroached scram the
Waste, crushing us with fearsome shadows.
We. indeed, were about yielding, when
suddenly a burst of vivid lightning shorted
a great battlemeutcd house to which the
path led. Directly we were on it, and leav-
ing the wheels poked toward it, wondering
why none had given us question and why
there Was no gloom of light through any
ehlnk. A great outer gate was open, and
we greped to an inucrone at the bottom of
the narrowing passage, and then a more
penetrating flash struck a glam over a
bread door, and there looked down a great
bronze fex’s head, with the knocker ring
hanging listless from its jaw.
Our impatience left us no discretion.
The blackness was prevckln , and I raised
the ring, which struck a chl I through my
gloved finger. The spot where it fell may
have been cushioned, for we were dum-
feundcd by silence when the door was
opened as of its own volition—sending a
certain splendid glow over ns—thc light
of many candles, and the sight, but
strangely enough not the crackle, of a
burning log in a deep fireplace at a long
hall's end. The furnishings, elaborate 1n ,
the extreme, were'ef Henri Quntre. Pnr—
traits and mailed figures lined the walls.
The flickering light sought the mllsh of
the oaken flooring and ceiling, and close at
the door wasa lockup-a tall, dark fellow.

unexpected splendorof light that no ehlnk
had revealed to us when groping outside

French that we understood, although it
seemed not exactly the French we were
schooled to.
“The Sicur Ile Bellaire, airs. has been
waiting you, and, despairing of your ap-
pearance, has sat down to dinner. I am to
show you there. "
I began, and Pierson burnout my dis-
claimer that he was mistaken; that we
could not be expanded; that we were sim-
ply ltluemnt bicyclist-s lost in the blind-
ness of the storm on the stretching moor.
And we wondered who this gentleman
could be who displayed so bizarre a taste
in furnishing and dress of his lackey in
this forsaken spot. adding this new aberra-
tion of the eccentricity possible in ccccu
trio millionaires. Surprise was doubled
by the man’s quick retort, ”Ah, gentle-
man, no mistake has been made, I assure
youl"
And althxugh he looked at us slyly, yet
his manna seemed to reflect a master’s
cordlallty. I thought of all I had heard
of strange mrsonagos who kept their doors
open for chance guests. Perhaps a glass
had mvwlorl us struggling on the rumor
along the path, ending in this unexpmtetl
welcome. And, mistake or no, em mndi.
tlon and woarlncss and hunger made us
accept, after our proper disclaimer had
been disallowed. We asked but to go lumk
for our wheels, when the man said he
‘would care for them, and that his reason
ought not to be kept waiting longer. The
master would excuse our appearance if we
would join lllm at once, and we, now in.

burning log on the hearth seemed to give
out no warmth. ' .
We ware ushered into a great dining
hall, where a table was elaborately spread ,
with quaint and strange lllfllll‘lllwihll, it
seemed, pf the day of Henri Quatro, and it
was a gentleman of that perlml, nicely so
tired in silken hose, who bowad mhnncly
and motioned us to the board, where
places for two showed that we alone were
expected. Yet for a moment we paused,
oblivious of manners, at the host's face-
thin, narrow, clever, cunning, high bred,
with stmugc looking black eyes, and the
voice had that some French which had

dog catcher wagon was making the
rounds and. as usual, was missing the

“whiten care of. It happened that
my friend’s front gate had been left upon,
and the two dogs mentioned escaped
into the street just as the wagon turned
the corner. There was a great cry on

little spaniel, not seeming to like the

“Suddenly there was a fierce bark,
and the big greyhound came leaping into
the crowd, scattering the small boys
and compelling the catchers to take to
the wagon. The hound reached the side
of the spaniel and, taking in the situa—

was off down the street like a shot. He

VIRGINIA’S ICE MIN E.
It It One of the Greatest “'onders In
This Country.
One of the greatest curiosities in the
United States, or in the world, perhaps,
is the wonderful ledge of ice which ex-
ists, oven in the midst of the hottest
summer, in Scott- ceunty, Va. This not.
oral » ice-house is situated on the north
sidr- of Stone mountain and about six
miles from the mouth of a small stream
known at Stony creek. The marvel is
said to have been known to at least one
of the early settlers, in Mr. Dnnridge,
who, it is alleged, discovered it while
deer hunting away back in 1830. GW-
ing to the fact that the land on which
it was situated could not be bought, Mr.
Dunritlge positively refused to tell of
the whereabouts of the ice ledge, and
only visited the place when it was ab-
sclutcly necessary to obtain a supply to ,
be used in case of sickness.
The old man died many years ago,
and from that mm- until 1893 the loca-
tion of Dantidgv’s ice mine was un-
knewn, the old gentleman having never
even taken his own family into the sc-
crot. .
In the ycar last- mcnlioncd, however,
a party of herb diggers visited the un-
fmluvnlcd region contiguous to Sleno
mountain and were fortunate enough to

During two or three months in the
middle of summer the ice is only pro-
m-o-d from the sun’s rays by a thick
growth of mess. The formation of the
ice luyrr is similar to that of a coal
vein, living thin in some plums and
thicker in others, the average thickness
being about four feet. Persons of anu'
scivnlilln attnlmnonts who have visited
the place for the purpose of studying

Miles on the Indian.
A champion has risen up for the In-
dian in the tau-son of (h-uoral Miles.
The Indian lighter has btwonw the most
rumor-t and nugrcesivcef Indian defend-
ers. This fact and an mlcrgctic (loll-use
of General (luster are the salient points
in the Miles nnuneirs. In his opinion
the ml man has distinguished himself
as diplomat, statesman and warrior and
may in! gmrl even while he is alive. In
spvakiug of (Junior, General Miles says,
“I have no patience with times who
wunld kick a dead lion,” and he attrib»
aim the lion’s (loath in part to general
ignorance throughout the army as to the
strength of the enemy, and in part to
the failure of Major lime to assunm re»
sponsibility for the movements of his
forces. «Chicago Journal.
