‘- HOW TO READ A STORY. One midsummer night a farmer’s boy living about ten miles from the city of Cin~ cinnati was following a bridlepath through a dense and dark forest. He had been search- ing for some missing cows, and at nightfall found himself a long way from home and in a part of the country with which he was but partly familiar. ' _ The night was clear but inthe woods it was exceedingly dark. It was more by the sense of touch than by that of sight that the lad kept the obscure path. He had gone into the forest a mile or more when he was surprised to see a feeble gleam of light shining through the foliage skirting the path on his left. The sight of it storied him, and set his heart to beat audibly. “The old Breede house is somewhere about here,” he said to himself. “This must be a continuation of the path which we reach it by from our side. Ugh! what should a light be doing there? I don’t like it.” Nevertheless he pushed on. A moment later and he had emerged from the forest into a small open space, mostly upgrown to brambles. There were remnants of arotting fence. A few yards from the trail, in the middle of the clearing, was the house, from which the light came throt gh an unglazcd window. The window had once contained glass, but-that and its supporting frame had long ago yielded to missiles flung by hands of venturesome boys to attest alike their cour- age and their hostility to the supernatural; for the Bizcede house here the evil reputation of being; haunted. Possibly it was not, but even the hardicst skeptic could not deny that it was doserted——which in rural regions is much the same thing. Looking at the mys- terious dim light shining from the ruined window, the boy remembered with appre- hension that his own hand had assisted at the destruction. His penitence was, of course, poignantinproportion to its tardiness and ineiiicacy. He half expected to be set upon by all the unworldly and bodlless malevo- ' lences whom he had outraged by assisting to break alike their windows and their p::acc. Yet this stubborn lad, shaking in every limb, would not retreat. The blood in his veins was strong and, ricl with the iron of the frontiersman. He started to pass the house at a run. As he was going; by he looked in at the blank window space and saw a strange and terrifying sight—tho figure of a man seated in the center of the room, ata table upon which lay some loose sheets of paper. His elbows rested on the table, his hands support- ing his head, which was uncovered. On each side the fingers were pushed into the hair. His face showed pale in the light of a single candle a little to one side. The flame illumi- nated that side of the face; the other was in deep shadow. The man’s eyes were fixed upon the blank window space with a stare in which an older and cooler observer might have discerned apprehension, but which seemed to the lad altogether soulless. He be- lieved the man to be dead. The situation was horrible, but not without its fascination. The boy paused in his flight to note it all. He endeavored to still the heating of his heart by holding his breath until half suffocated. trembling; he could almost feel the deathly whiteness of his face. Nevertheless he set his teeth and resolutely advanced to the house. He had no conscious intention—it was the mere courage of terror. He thrust his white face forward into the illuminated opening. At that instant a strange, harsh cry, ashriek. broke upon the silence of the night—tho note of a screech owl. The man sprang to his feet, overturning the table and extinguishing the candle. The boy took to his heels. at t: i: It =3 * “G'OOCI morning, Colston—I am in luck, it seems.

The trip just completed was NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 20, 1889. its first for the day, and the conversationof i the two had not been interrupted. ,“Do you mean to say," Marsh began, “thatif I take the trouble to observe your directions—place myself in the condition which you demand: solitude, night and a - tallow candle—you can with your ghastliest work give me an uncomfortable sense of the supernatural, accelerate my pulse, make me . start at sudden noises, send a nervous chill along my spine and cause my hair to rise?” Colston turned suddenly and looked him squarely in the eyes as they walked. “You . would not dare—you have not the courage," he said. He emphasized the words with a contemptuous gesture. "You are brave enough to read me in a street car; but—in a deserted house—alone—in the forest—at night! Bah! I have a manuscript in my pocket which would kill you." Marsh was angry. He knew himself a man of courage and the words stung him. “If you know such a place,” he said, "take me there tonight and leave me your fiery and a candle. Call for me when I’ve had time enough to road it,,an<l I’ll tell you the entire plot and—kick you out of the place.” That is how it occurred that the farmer's boy, looking in at an unglazed window of the Breede house, saw a man sitting in the light of a candle. at: as: ::= 2:: v as Late in the afternoon of the next day three men and a boy approached the Breede house from that point of the compass toward which i the boy had fled the preceding night. They were in high spirits apparently: they talked loudly and laughed. They made facetious and good humored ironica] remarks to the boy about his adventure, which evidently they did not believe in. He accepted the raillcry, with seriousness, making no rcpl y. Arriving at the house and finding he door bolted on the inside, the party of investi- gators entered without furthcr ceremony than breaking it down. Leading out of the ' passage into which this door had opened was another on the right and one on the left. Those two doors also were fastened, and were broken in. They entered at random the one on the left first. It was vacant. in the room on the right—--the one which had the black front windows—was the. dead body of a man! It lay partly on one side, with the forearm beneath it, the check on the floor. The eyes were wide open; the stare was not an agreea- ble thing; to encounter. The lower jaw had fallen; a little pool of saliva had collected beneath the mouth. An overthrown table, a. partly burned candle, a chair and some paper with writing on it were all else that the room contained. T be men looked at the body, touching the face in turn. The boy gravely stood at the head, assuming a look of owner- ship. It was the proudest moment of his life. One of the men said to him: “You’re a good ’un”—-a remark. which was received by the two others with beds of acquiescence. It was Skepticism apologizing to Truth. Then one of the men took from the floor the sheets of manuscript and stepped to the window, for already the evening; shadows were gleaming the forest. The song of the whip—poor-wiii was heard in the distance and a monstrous beetle sped by the window on roaring wings. *- 4: =:= c a a “Before commit-ting the act, which rightly or wrongly I have resolved on, and appearing before my Maker for judgment, 1, James R.

(eHELTERED WASHINGTON- _---—_ —- IT A Home at Bye Where the President Slept One Hundred Years Ago. There is a house standing on the post read, in the village of Rye, that is an object of special interest. It sheltered President Washington 100 years ago. On Oct. 15, 1789, Washington left New York in his coach, drawn by four fine horses, accompanied by his private and oflicial secretaries It was the beginning of that journey to New Eng- land which the President dmired should be unostentatious, but which the people of all ranks made an occasion for the expression of the love and reverence they deeply felt. He arrived in the village of Rye, a distance of twenty-six miles from New York, in the latter ; part of the day, and found rest for the night at the inn kept at that time - by Mrs. IIavi— ~' land, a name not uncommon in the neighbor- hood to-day. This is the note in W'ashing- ton’s journal, written at the evening hour: “Thursday, Oct. 15, ”Bil—After dinner, through frequent light showers, we proceeded to the tavern of a Mrs. Havilaud, at Rye, who keeps a very neat and decent inn." This is his entry concerning the road and the impression made upon him by the coun— try: . "The road for the greater part—indeed, the whole way—was very rough and stony, but the land strong, well covered with grass and a luxuriant crop of Indian corn. The farms ' are very close together, and sepa rated, as one inc‘ltsurs also is from anothmy by fences ' of stone, which are indeed easily made, as the country is immensely stony. After pass-- ing Horseneck, six miles dist-ant (east) from Rye, the road is hilly and immensely stony. and trying to wheels and carriages.” On his return, while spending the night again at Mrs. Haviland’s, Washington writes in his journal: “The badncss of these roads having been de- scribed as I went, I shall say nothingof them now.” ' How different would be his comments could he ride over the same read today, which has been macadamized sobeautifnlly. A few worcs about this quiet village may be of interest to more than local readers. As one is carried by on the swift trains of the ‘I. Y. and N. H. R. R. he is not even aware that he is passing through a village; much less, that it is a village whose history is of more than ordinary interest. It lies only about two miles from the boundary separating the states of New York and Connecticut. The shore of the Sound, lying not more than a mile from the center of the village, was a fa- : vorito resort of the Indians, who made an annual encampment or visit long after the settlement of the village. Evidences that the locality of Rye Beach was once inhabited by man y Indians abound. Warlike and domestic implements have fre— ; qucntly been unearthed; skeletons of In— , dians have been found in various excava- tions; while tradition affords many accounts of their presence and habits. But the prox- imity of Rye to the state boundary line and to the shore of the Sound reudcred the section , debatable ground, armies and ships being the ‘ arguments employed in turn by the Dutch, the British and the Americans. During the revolution it lay between the outposts of the i opposing forces. Hasty and cruel incursions were frequent, so that at the close of the. war the dcsolatcd homes and the poverty of the people presented a pitiablc sight. Nccd we wonder, then, that the journey of the Great Delivcrer was made the occasion for even the . most extravagant expressions of gratitude = and reverence! ‘; “'bile neighboring villages and towns have I been transformed beyond the rcmgnition of : returning inhabitants of former years, Rye i has remained a conservative village. it has i been improved by the erection of beautiful ’ residences, by the laying out of attractive 1 grounds, and by the building of excellent 3 reads. But no manufacturing interests have ‘ invaded the restful quiet so inviting to the , men whorctirc to their homes from the fever- 1 ish excitement of daily business in the city. 5. The diversity and bead! _\' of the country in the vicinity, and the evident thriftiness of the i farmers, add a delightful and unending zest g to the many drives. , Much more might be added of historic in- i terest and of present attractions, but, our : purpose being simply to present one of the! many places rendered sacred to Americans by the visits of Washington, we have more than = fulfilled our intention. Let not one of these 1 old landmarks be forgotten. It would be ,3 well if every schoolboy might trace at thefi distance of a hundred years the footprints of E Washington to the end of his life—Cor.

I “No more flirting for me, boys,” remarked ! a drummer to some of his acquaintances. “l 3 used to go without smoking when I wasdying l for a cigar, just so I could go in the ladies’ i car. But I’m cured. On my last run into 3 Lincoln I mete. nice young lady. She was} agreeable, and of course I made myself as ; nearly so as possible. Had a pleasant half ‘ hour with her before we reached the station, I and of course when we got off there I asked § her if there were any parcels I could carry ’ for her. She smiled bewitchingl y and said I : ~ might help her :if I would be so kind. Then i - she pointed to the seat right behind where we 5 weresitting, and there were three babies, as- sorted sizes, asleep. She said they Were hers. \I’ell, I was in for it, so I picked up the big- gcst ones, one on either arm, while she took the kid. We marched out and found a car- riage, and I put her in and was about to say ~ good day when she. smiled again so bewitch- j ingly and asked me to get in. I couldn’t re- 1 fuse, you know, so I went along. W'e drove I l l l l I l I ‘ out to somewhere near the capitol and} stopped before a nice house. Aman came} running out, lifted out the babies, kissedi them, lifted out the young woman, kissed her ' two or three times and told the driver he could go. Would you believe it, she was sci spoony on that husband of hers she never said i good-by to me nor looked in my direction at i all; and that ain’t the worst of it. I had to I pay the carriage hire myself and lost half a ', day’s time in the bargain. That woman f cured me of flirting so long as I live.”—-§ l Nebraska City Press. I Unselfislmess. It was said by an enemy of Napoleon III that he had “no sentiment of good or evil, only the sentiment of self.” The habit of continual self consciousness and self attention is as fatal to one’s happiness as it is to one’s usefulness and good manners; but the only way to cure it is to cultivate thoughtfulness of others and kindness toward them. The Rev. Edward Everett Halo says: -“I remember having; to advise a man who had fallen into a sad, morose life, and had put himself under my counsel, and I said, -‘Sup- pose you begin by passing the butter at the table.’ He needed to be on the outlook, con- :3, HUN T’S REMEDY.
