l.eaving < romwell, for a time, "o
will follow the course of Hubert Kay-
mond, who after receiving directions
from Cato, had shaped his course for
tho Ohio river. Madison, as ha*
already been stated, was situated in
tho southern part of Indiana The
distance between it and the Ohio ,
river, which separates that state
from Kentucky, was about fifty miles.
It was Hubert's inteutiun to roach
the river and then get on hour,I a
boat, and proceed ns far oast a* his
limited funds would admit. The ex-
tent of these was but ♦10, and llo
would not go a great way, unless ex-
treme economy was practiced. Hub-
ert was willing to tic economical,
and when ho learned that the river
was lull fifty miles distant, lie de-
termined to walk the whole way.
On tho first day, Hubert walked
about twenty mil -s, renting in the
middle of the day. He was unac-
customed to walking and it made
him footsore and weary At I o’clock
in tho afternoon, lie desisted and
wont ut» to a farm house, for ho was
at. tho time passing through a
sparsely settled town; iio asked for
accommodation* for the night, for-
tunately the occupant of tho farm-
house was a hospitable and kind-
hearted farmer, who did not, as
some might have done, view him
with suspicion,
••So you want to l>e took cure of
tho night, youngster,” ho said.
••Vos. sir,” said Holiert
••Well, 1 guess tho old woman can

Among tho passengers ii ia alien
tion was drawn to a tali gentleman
of hraaxotl compl#\l‘>8. who hu I as
a companion a young girl of alai.it
lliirlocn, whom lie uddtossed a*
Kdlth. The young ladv had a very-
sweet fa -e, mid Hubert er.ught him
self mure than unco wishing ho lutd
such u sister. Hail Iio Iwscu older
that is perhaps tho la-t thing lie
would have desired. Hot ho was
only a Iwiy of fourteen, and was of
course too young to experience the
sensation of lieing in love. The
gentleman's name lie learned was
Major Woodley, and tIio young lady’s
Kdith Woodley.
Holiert wished that he might have
mi opportunity of making tho ac-
quaintance of Major Woodley and his
daughter, but whilo on their trip up
Ihe river chance did not favor him.
ITio opportunity, however, was only
defei red. It came at the end of tho
voyage At length they reached
Wheeling, and the passengers gener-
ally disembarked Major Woodley
and his daughter were among these.
Arrived on tho pier, whilo Major
Woodley was looking out for his bag-
gage, a liorso maddened by a blow
from his brutal driver, started sud-
denly forward, and in an instant
would have trampled Kdith Woodley
under bis feci hud uolitobort sprung
forward, and clasping her rounu tho
waist, drawn her quickly ont of dan-
ger.
Her father was tit some distance.
He happened to look up ju*t in time
to see his child's danger, hut not in
timo to rescue her. To his great re-
lief no saw Hubert's prompt action,
and iie realized that but for this his
daughter would probably have lost
her life. Killed with gratitudo ho
hurriedly advanced, and seized Hub-
ert by tho hand.
••Well done, iny bravo boy! You
have tirobably saved my daughter's
life From my heart. I thank you."
••I am glad it was in my power to
do her a service," said Robert, mod-
estly.
••You exposed your own life to dan-
ger," said the major.
••I am very glad, indeed, that 1
was standing by," said Robert, “but
I think anyone would have done the
same "
Major Woodley shook his head.
•T know men lad tor than you. my
lad." he said, - and I know that cool-
ness and self-possession in tho hour
of danger are not so common as they
, might lav Let me know the name of
my daughter’s preserver."

••Yes, sir, a* soon as I can I am
bound for New York."
••Ni am J Hut I shall stop at the
hotel till to-morrow Why won’t you

This was an embarrassing quos
tton for Robert. The fact is. that
his entire worldly wealth, so far a*
he carried it with him, consisted of
twenty-five cents, and. this, so far
from enabling Ii ini from going on to
New York. WouUl not even pay for
his breakfast, nriless ho confined
himself to a very frugal one. lie
felt a little shame at confessing this
to Major Woodley, who had the air
or a man of large moans, yet h i
could not help confessing to himsolf
that it would be very agreeable for
|)im to pursue his journey in com-
pany with the major and his daugh-
ter to New York. Of course lie
would become vory well acquainted
with the daughter, and this he
thought lie should like very much.
He had never had a sister, anil ho
felt Hint she would ho one to him
So ho hesitated, and did not immedi-
ately answer the question asked.
••if this would interfere with any
of your arrangements, or if you have
other friends to travel with," pro
needed Major Woodley, observing
his hesitation, “don’t hesitate to
say so."

The boy named Brooks who first
told Dickens about the Y'ork9hire
schools is now a man of 8 J years,
living in Newcastle. A correspond-
ent savs: "He is a native of either
Chatham or Rochester, and when a
lad was sent by his parents to one
of Hie Howes schools. After being
there for sonio t'rae lie returned to
Chatham, whore bo used to meet
Dickens, und chummed with him. In
tbo course of their frequent walks
iny friend gave a full description of
his life ami all tho hardships the
hoys had to undergo at the school.
Whenever anything particular struck
Dickens ho used to slap his thigh."

Delegate Flynn received a volumin-
ous petition Friday from settler* on
ttie Cherokee Strip asking that be se-
cure, this session if possible, the pas-
sage of his bill protecting them from
the ruling of the Interior Department
on the "sooner" question. The de-
partment holds that all parties who
passed over the Strip country or en-
tered the Ktrip country at any time
from the .Id of March .189.3, when the
Strip bill passed, to Hie 18th of Sep-
tember. that year, tho day the coun-
try was opened to settlement, arc to
be held as “sooners," and hence not
competent to make entry *.o land in
the Strip country. It has b»en the
ruling of the department nndz <• Secre-
tary Noble, on the sooner" question,
that oulv those arc "sooners” who on
ter on lands between the da*c "f the-
President's proclamation opening tbc
land to settlement and Hie hour it was
declared thrown open to selt’emcnl.
The Presidents proclamation opening
to settlement of the Strip country was
issued on the 19th of Augu t 1893. and
that proclamation opened the Strip to
settlement on the 16th of tire follow ing
month. According to previous rulings
in the department, those only were
"sooners" who entered upon the Strip
lands between the 19th of August and
of Arizona, to transfer the criminal
jurisdiction over Indian reservation in
the territories from tire territorial to
the federal courts. Reservation In-
dians arc considered government
wards and the people of the territor-
ies regard it as an injustice that they
are burdened with the expense of try-
ing for criminal offences those who
are not tax payers.
In the contested lot case of Thorne
va Newcomb, the commissioner of the
general land office lias rendered a de-
cision of great importance to ail set-
tlers on government tojvnsites every-
where. It is to the-cfleet that a set-
tler must actually live upon lots or
conduct active business thereon in or
derto»cquire title thereto and cannot
live elsewhere anil bold government
lots through an agent or by purchase
of another settler's right This decis-
ion will effect hundreds of case* .n

of dollars of valuable property lo ac-
tual settlers instead of speculators.
In the army appropriation bill re-
cently considered in Washington the
first amendment of the senate appro-
priation committee provided that
Geronimo and his warlike tribe
should be takcu to Ft- sill. I. I'., and
in addition to paying all their expen-
ses, $15,000 was appropriated for pro-
viding them with agricultural imple-
ments. The committe provision was
subsequently amended, on motion of
Senator Dubois, so as to leave the
1 place of their removal to the discre-
tion of the secretary of war. In this
shape the matter went to conference,
