"1- Por Freedom's Sake. .?• ft wsis this thundery atmosphere of 'i x>m4ng conflict, or hopes and doubts, * ef sundering ties and fearful looking forward, that Richard and Katherine Hyde came, from the idyllic peace and beauty of their Norfolk house. It was an exquisite April morning when they sailed up New York bay once more. Joris took his daughter in his abms, murmuring "Mijn Katrijntje, mijn Katrijntje! Ach, mijn kind, mijn kind!** He gave Hyde both hands; he called him "mijn zoon;" he stooped, and put the little lad's arms around his neck. Lysbet had always admired Hyde, and she was very proud and happy to hate him in her homd and to have him call her "mother." The little J«ris took possession of her heart in a moment. In a few hours things had fallen naturally and easily into place. Joris and Bram and fclyde sat talking of the formation of a regiment. Little Joris leaned os his grandfather's shoulder, listening. Lysbet and Katherine were unpacking trunks full of fineries and pretty things. About four o'clock, as Katherine aad Hyde were dressing, Joanna and BataTlu8 and all their family arrived. Hyde met his brother-in-law with a gentlemanly cordiality, and Batavius VM soon smoking amicably with him, as they discussed the proposed mili­ tary organization. Very soon Hyde asked Batavius, "If he were willing to Join it?" "When such a family a man has," fete answered, waving his hand com­ placently toward the six children, "he must have some prudence rind consid­ eration. It is a fixed principle with ne not to meddle with the business of other people." "If you go not yourself to the fight, Batavius," said Joris, "plenty of young men are there, longing to go, who have no arms and no clothes; send in four place one of them." "It Is my fixed principle not to meddle in the affairs of other people, and my principles are sacrad to me." "Have you read the speeches of Adams and Hancock and QuincyT Have you heard what Col. Washington •aid In the Assembly?" "Oh, these men are discontented! Something which they have not got, - Chejr want. They are troublesome and conceited. They expect the century will be called after them. Now, I, who punctually fulfil my obligations M a father and a citizen, I am coil- tented, I never make complaints, 1 never want more liberty. You may read in the Holy Scriptures that no • cood comes of rebellion." Bram rose, and with a long-drawn whistle, left the room. Joris said •ternly: "Enough you have spoken, Batavius. None are so blind as those who will not see." "Well, then, father, I can see what Is in the way of mine own business; and it is a fixed principle with me not to meddle with the business of other people." And he marshaled the six children and their two nurses in front of him, and trotted off with Joanna upon bis arm, fully persuaded that he had done himself great credit, and acted with uncommon wisdom. The next morning was the Sabbath, and it broke In a perfect splendor of t sunshine. They all walked to church together, and Hyde thought how beau- •' tiful the pleasant city was that Sab- * bath morning. Katherine and Hyde and Bram were , together; Joris and Lysbet were slow­ ly following them. Suddenly the peaceful atmosphere was troubled by (he startling clamor of a trumpet A Second blast was accompanied by the - rapid beat of a horse's hoofs, and the rider came down Broadway like one on a message of life and death, and made no pause until he had very near- ;• Ijr reached Maiden Lane. At that point a tall, muscular man seized the horse by the bridle and asked, "What news?" , 1 "Great news! great news! There ' lias been a battle, a massacre at Lex­ ington, a running fight from Concord to Boston! Stay me not!" But, as he shook the bridle free, he threw a handbill, containing the official ac­ count of the affair at Lexington, to the inquirer. Who then thought of church, though th« church bells were ringing? The crowd gathered round the man with the handbill, and in ominous silence listened to the tidings of the massacre at Lexington, the destruction of stores at Concord, the quick gathering of the militia from the hills and dales around Reading and Roxbury, the retreat of the British under their harassing fire, «ntll, worn out and disorganized, they had found a refuge in Boston. Joris was white and stern In his amotion; Bram stood by the reader, with a face as bright as a bride­ groom's. Hyde turned to the reader, who stood with bent brows, and the paper in his hand. "Well, sir, what is to be done?" he asked. There are five hundred stand of arms in the City Hall; there are men fmftiigh heae to take them. Let us go." r' • loud cry of assent answered him. The news spread, no one knew how; tat men poured out from the churches aad the houses on their route, and their force was soon nearly a thou­ sand strong. Joris could hardly en- tars the suspense. About 2 o'clock, as he was walking restlessly about ' the house, Bram and Hyde returned > together. "Well?" he asked. "Oh, indeed, all fortune fitted us! We went en masse down Broadway Into Wall street, and so to the City Ball, where we made an entrance.1 /Vfv "And you got the arms?" *"Faitli, we got all we' went for! ffie arms were divided among the peo- e." ; r s"; "Where' were the English soldiers?' "Indeed, they were shut up in bar- ; \lBCks. Some Of their officers were In % , church, others waiting for orders from the governor or mayor." "And where went you with the arms?" "To a room in John street. There they were stacked, the names of the men enrolled, and a guard placed over them. And now, mother, we will have some dinner; 'the soldier loves his mess.'" But events cannot be driven by wishes; many things had to be set­ tled before a movement forward could be made. Joris had his store to let, and the stock and good-will to dispose of! Hyde's time was spent as a re­ cruiting officer. In company with Willet, Sears and McDcugall, Hyde might be seen enlisting men, or or­ ganizing the "Liberty Regiment" then raising. Every day's events fanned the temper of the city, although it was soon evident that the first fight­ ing would be done In the vicinity of Boston. For, three weeks after that memor­ able April Sunday, Congress, in ses­ sion at Philadelphia, had recognized trie men in camp there as a Continen­ tal army, the nucleus of the troops that were to be raised for the defense of the country, and had commissioned Col. Washington as commander-in- chief to direct their operations. Then every heart was in a state of the greatest expectation and excitement. In June the Van Heemskirk troops were ready to leave for Boston--near­ ly six hundred young men, full of pure purpose and brave thoughts, and with all their illusions and enthusi­ asms undimmed. The day before their departure, they escorted Van Heemskirk to his house. It would have been hard to find a nobler looking leader than Joris. And the bright young lads who followed him looked like his sons, for most of them strongly resembled him in per­ son; and any one might have been sure, even if the roll had not shown it, that they were Van Brunts and Van Ripers and Van Rensselaers, Roose- velts, Westervelts and Terhunes. Katherine and Lysbet had made the flag of the new regiment--an orange flag, with a cluster of twelve blue stars above the word liberty. It was Lysbet's hands that gave it to them. But few words were said. Lysbet and Katherine could but stand and gaze as heads were bared, and the orange folds flung to the wind, and the in­ spiring word liberty saluted with bright, upturned faces and a ringing shout of welcome. It was to be the last evening at home for Joris and Bram and Hyde, and everything was done to make it a happy memory. There had been some expectation of Joanna and Batavius, but at the last moment an excuse was sent. "The child is sick, Writes Batavius; but I think, then, it is Batavius that is afraid, and not the child who is sick," said Joris." After supper Bram went to bid a friend good-by, and, as Joris and Lys­ bet sat in the quiet parlor, Elder Semple and his wife walked in. The elder was sad and still. He took the hands of Joris in his own and looked' him steadily in the face. "M^n Joris," he said, "what's sending you on sic a daft-like errand?" Joris smiled, and grasped tighter his friend's hand. "So glad am I to see you at last, elder. As in you came, I was thinking about you. Let us part good friends and brothers. If I come not back " "Tut, tut! You're sure and certain to come back; and sae I'll save the quarrel I hae wi' you until then. I came to speak anent things, in case o' the warst, to tell you that If any one wants to touch your wife or your bairns, a brick In your house, or a flower In your garden plat, I'll stand by all that's yours, to the last shilling I hae, and nane shall harm them." "I have a friend, then. I have you, Alexander. Never this hour shall I regret." The old men bent to each other; there were tears in their eyes. With­ out speaking, they were aware of kindness and faithfulness and grati­ tude beyond the power of words. Hyde and Katherine were walking In the garden, lingering in the sweet June twilight by the lilac hedge and the river bank. All Hyde's business was arranged; he was going Into the fight without any anxiety beyond such as was natural to the circumstances. While he was away his wife and son were to remain with Lysbet If he never came back, ample provision had been made for his wife and son's wel­ fare, but--and he suddenly turned to Katherine, as if she had been con­ scious of his thoughts--"the war will not last very long, dear heart, and when liberty Is won, and the founda­ tion for a great commonwealth laid,, why then we will buy a large estate somewhere upon the banks of this beautiful river. A hundred years after this, your descendants shall wander among the treiliages and cut hedges and boxed walks, and say, 'What a sweet taste our dear great, great grandmother had!" And Katherine laughed at his merry talk and touched his sword, and asked. Is It the old sword, my Richard?' "The old sword, Kate, my sweet With It I won my wife. Oh, indeed, yes!" He drew it partially from Its sheath, and mused a moment Then he slowly untwisted the ribbon and tassel of bullion at the hilt and gave it into her hand. "I have a better hilt-rlbbon than that," he said, "and when we go into the house, I will re- trim my sword." She thought little of the remark at the time, though she carefully put the tarnished tassel away among her dearest treasures; but it acquired new meaning in the morning. The troops were to leave very early, and, soon after dawn, she heard the clatter of galloping horses, and the calls of the men as they reined up at their commander's door. They rose from the breakfast table and looked at their wives. Lysbet gave a little sob, and laid her head a moment upon her husband's breast. Katherine lifted her white face and whispered, with kisses, "Beloved one, go. Night and day I will pray for you, and long for you. My love, my dear one!" Katherine held her husband's hand till they stood at the open door. Then he looked into her face, and down at his sword, with a meaning smile. And her eyes dilated, and a vivid blush spread over her cheeks and throat, and she drew him back a mo­ ment, and passionately kissed him again; and all her grief was lost in love and triumph. For, wound tightly around his sword-hilt, she saw-- though it was brown and faded--her first, fateful love-token--the Bow of Orange Ribbon. Postscript. (Quotations from a letter dated July 5, A. D. 1885.) "Yesterday I went with my aunt to spend 'the Fourth' at the Hydes'. They have the most delightful place--a great stone house in a wilderness of foliage and beauty, and yet within convenient distance of the railroad and the river boats. Kate Hyde said the house is more than a hundred years old, and that the fifth generation is living in it I am sure there are pictures enough of the family to ac­ count for three hundred years; but the two handsomest after all, are those of the builders. They were very great people at the court of Washing­ ton, I believe. I suppose It is natural, for those who have ancestors, to brag about them, and to show off the old buckles and fans and court dresses they have hoarded up, not to speak of the queer bits of plate and china; and I must say the Hydes have a really delightful lot of such bric-a-brac. But the strangest thing is the 'household talismah.' It is not like the luck of Eden hall; It is neither crystal cup, nor silver vase, nor magic bracelet nor an old slipper. But they have a tradition that the house will prosper as long as it lasts, and so this pre­ cious palladium is carefully kept in locked box of carved sandalwood, for it Is only a bit of faded satin that was a love-token--a St Nicholas Bow of Orange Ribbon." (The End.) GOT THE BRIDE'S GARTER8. Eight Fair Ones Gladdened by the Lucky Talisman. The fashionable Riverside Drive district Is tittering over the original­ ity of a young bride last week, whose gifts to her eight bridesmaids wero garters. Each girl received a single garter. The bride was deep In ar­ rangements before the wedding, when one of the Danish servants told her of a popular superstition in her native land. The maid said the very essence of good luck, both for bride and briesmald, might be accomplished by the bride giving the left garter to her attendant after the wedding cere­ mony. The Riverside Drive belle thought the superstition delightful, and being somewhat "faddish," she decided to try the Danish talisman. But" cried the girl, _ "I have eight bridesmaids and only one left garter!" This predicament she confided to her fiance, blushing prettily as she spoke the unmentionable word. The man solved the problem In a moment. He told her to wear eight pairs of garters for eight days, and on the wedding day to wear all left eight garters. In this way each bridesmaid might re­ ceive an acclimated garter, teeming with good luck. The ceremony was flourishing, and before the white- robed bride slipped into her going- away gown she called her faithful bridesmaids to a retiring room. "Girls," she said, "here is your gift" Then she unclasped eight left garters that encircled her silk hose and each girl received her talisman. A still worse dilemma was when the ushers asked the bridesmaids what their bridal gifts were. They answered, "Something lucky." Wilting to Take a Chance. There Is a restaurant keeper with a new and capacious place on the upper West Side about whom a story is go­ ing the rounds. This "mine host" makes no secret of the fact that when he arrived in America as a youth he had more fingers and u>es than dol­ lars, and that it is due to his own in­ dustry that he now can command his little army of cooks, waiters and other help, says the Now York Times. When he opened an addition to his rooms re­ cently his friends were surprised to see a crest emblazoned conspicuously on various parts of the wall. The glassware also bears the crest "I say, Pat," said a friend recently, where did you get that crest?" "That belonged to^aT king of my name in Ireland," way the reply. "And I suppose you were one of the royal family?" t Well, I don't know," was the confi­ dential reply. "I looked it] up in the Astor library. There were several hundred years to account «>», but I thought I'd take a chance."! Russell Gage's Joke. Russell Sage has a great affection for horses. Any instance of cruelty to these useful quadrupeds that he sees he comments on pretty strongly. Some- times, though his comment takes a humorous turn. As he was driving outside of New York one afternoon he met a farmer with a very sorry-look­ ing mule. Mr. Sage pulled up and said: 'Friend, you have an odd mule there." "Yes?" said the farmer. "Yes, Indeed. I know a man who would give $400 to see that mule." "Who is he, sir?" asked the farmer "Why, he's a bjlnd man." And Mr. Sage with a loud, mocking laugh, drove off. "FIGURING! UP HI8 AQK. Boy Certainly Had In Him the Making of a Lawyer. The ready wit of a lad secured him a position as an office boy with a Par^ Row law firm the other day, says th* New York Times. Over a score of boys had answered the advertisement and waited in the outer office to bf examined as to their fitness. "All who are under ten years and over twelve may go," said the lawyer, hoping to reduce the number of appli­ cants, but not one stirred. He then called to him a boy who appeared scarcely more than ten and read his "recommendation." "Why, this says you are only ten." said the lawyer. "But it doesn't count the months, sir," responded the lad. "I am ten years and two months, sir, and ten and two make twelve." There was just a gleam or roguish- ae.es in the boy's blue eyes as hi looked the lawyer full in the face. "I guess you'll do," said the man. "You've got the making bf a lawyer in you." Literature and Tobacco. Somehow or other we associate to­ bacco with literary men, but not all writers are lovers of the weed. Goethe hated tobacco intensely and never lost a chance to attack it Heinrich Heine had the same dislike. Balzac, who lived on black coffee, preached wisely to the young about the vice of smoking, and Victor Hugo and Dumas were equally opposed to the practice. But the list of French smokers comprises many great names, such a3 Alfred de Musset, Eugene Sue, Paul de St. Victor, Prosper Mer- imee-Beranger and Baudelaire. Mme. Dudevant, better known as George Sand, often Indulged in a cigar between the intervals of her literary labors. The poet Bloomfleld wrote sweet pastoral rnymes with a cloud of to­ bacco smoke making a fog around his head. Campbell, Moore and Byron delighted in Its temperate use, and Tennyson was a great Bmoker. One of the quaint scenes in the realm of letters is that of Carlyle and his old mother Bitting together by the chimney corner each smoking a dark-brown pipe and chatting earn­ estly the while." Wanted a Sample Cigar. "Let me have a sample of these," said a woman after looking critically at several boxes of cigars which the salesman exhibited as "just the thing for him." The clerk put out one of the cigars in a paper case and handed It over as if giving away "sampler* cigars was quite customary. That's the way women beat the jokesmiths," said the salesman, when the woman had gone out "You don't see so many jokes nowadays about women giving their husbands and beaux bad cigars? Well, that's be­ cause they get samples, just as they do in buying silks and ribbons, and try them on their men folks. The 'he' in this case will smoke that cigar to­ night If he likes it, she will be in to-morrow to buy a box of them. It struck us as pretty cheeky when th« first request was made of us for a sample cigar, but now we are quite used to it and it pays* bringing us quite a little steady trade." Disliked Publicity, But "Young man," the rising statesman said to the reporter, "newspaper no­ toriety is exceedingly distasteful to me, but since you have asked me to give you some of the particulars of the leading events of my life I will comply. I do so, however, with great reluctance." Here he took a typewritten sheet from a drawer In his desk and handed It to the reporter. "I suppose, of course," he added, you will want my portrait, and, al­ though I dislike anything that savors of undue publicity, I can do no less than comply with your wish." Here he took a large photograph from a pile in another drawer and gave It to the reporter. 'Anecdotal matter concerning my- Belf," he added, "you will find in this printed leaflet, as well as particulars of my hobbies and tastes. When thi« appears in print you may send me 250 copies of the paper." 8llkworm of the Sea. Silk is obtained from the shell fish known as the pinna, which is found la the Mediterranean. This shell fish has the power of spinning a viscid silk which in Sicily is made Into 6 regular' and very handsome fabric. The silk is spun by the shell fish in the first Instance for the purpose of attaching Itself to the rocks. It Is able to guide the delicate filaments to the proper place, and there glue them fast, and if they are cut away it can reproduce them. The material, when gathered (which Is done at low tide), la washed In soap and water, dried, straightened and carded, one pound of the coarse filament yielding about throe ounces of fine thread, which, when spun, Is a lovely burnished golden brown color.

They stood in front of the elephants watching the two big animals mov­ ing restlessly abomt. The ssan was of aldermanlo proportions, of gener­ ous girth, well fed apparently, and also well satisfied with himself. The boy was a little bit of a chap, who clung to his fathers hand quite des­ perately. It was evident that the boy was enjoying his first visit to the zoo. His questions were many. The last one he asked in the elephant house was: "Daddy, do you think that elephant is as heavy as youf ' V A Spotless Character. Prospective Employer--You don't Applicant--No, sir.

Good morniug, Mr. Editor," said the rural looking visitor briskly, entering the sanctum. "I've brought you in some nice spring poultry, which I--" "Get out! Get out! Take it away!" exclaimed the busy editor, savagely. "I don't want It! Haven't any room for it" The rural-appearing visitor hurried out, looking scared. The 'society re­ porter got his breath and gasped: "Wh-wh-wh-what's this? No room for spring poultry?" "Poultry! Great Heavens!" and the editor got up and ttfre his hair. "I thought he said poetry." Judging by the Job. A man was taken on as a laborer in one Of the large shipbuilding yards on the Clyde. The first job he had to do was to carry some rather heavy planks. He bad been about an hour carrying them, when he went up to the foreman and said: "Did Ah tell you ma name whin Ah started?" "Aye," said the foreman. "You said it was Tamson." "Oh, that's a' richt" replied the man, looking over at the pile of planks he had yet to carry. "Ah wis wunnerin' If you thocbt Ah said It was Samson." The Dawn of Hope. "Yes," said the chronic invalid, "for over a year I have been up against this strange malady without being able to obtain the slightest relief. But now I feel confident that I shall be a well man within three short weeks." "Trying a new remedy, eh?" quer­ ied his friend. "Not me," replied the c. L, "but the doctors have succeeded in separating me from my last dollar, so there Is no further'inducement to prolong the agony." Conscientious. "Yes, sir, that's one of our most gifted humorists. And yet, sir, he didn't make a single joke about the late George Washington on the occa­ sion of his latest birthday anniver­ sary." "Indeed?" "That's right Ah. he's conscien­ tious when it comes to making jokes. It took him two days and a half to find out that he couldn't think of a new one." $100 REWARD $100.
