All ritjhta reserved. f ........ CHAPTEK I. THE PROPHESY, Old Judee took his hand, and reached for one of Mrs. Armytage's, too. Still kneeling, and with the hands tightly clasped, she gazed steadfastly at the young couple, and then beyond them into the distance. "I see yo' both," she said. "Yo Mass'r Oliver, is in front ob de soldiers." "Ah! at last you've put me in com-mand," he interjected. "Dey am de Union soldiers standin' still standin' solemn. Yo' am facia.' deni. Dey lifts dar guns. Dey fires at yo' an yo' falls. De lady am dar, too, pale as death. She am faintin'. She drops on de groun'. De smoke ob de guns gets thick. It hides yo both. I can't see. Datamall." Old Judee arose to her feet, rubbed her eyes, had a minute of apparent bewilder-ment, and then was sufficiently wide awake to bike the coin which Oliver handed to her. "All humbug," he said. "Of course," Mrs. Armytage assented. But they gazed in silence after the black woman, as she walked away, and nobody was prompt to ridicule her prophecy. It had made, at least momen-tarily, a serious impression on all who heard it. aering vagabond she was, and she told fortunes with all the weirdness of which she was capable. She was regarded as a voudou necromancer, and among the blacks she was feared, if not quite rever-enced; while the whites were not free of superstition regarding hnr charms, spells and prophecies, although at the Willett homestead there was an intelligent dis-position to treat her jocosely whenever she visited the place. But she was quickly the center of a group comprising all the persons of the premises, and she shrewdly chose the two strange ladies to especially impress herself upon. The account which is here to be given of her prediction, and what ensued, is to be construed as the reader pleases either as a narrative of something occult, or of something alto-gether explainable as matters of chance coincidence. The writer is merely a his-torian, with no disposition to theorize upon the incidents which he sets forth. Old Judee was formal in her method as a prophetess. She proffered- - her services to Mrs. Armytage first, and then to Mrs. Dimmock; but those ladies, conscious of their roguery in having figured before their two wooers as mai-dens, were scared by the negress' offers of divination and refused to have their fortunes told. "Den yo', Mass'r Oliver," old Judee said; "lemme tole yo' fortin. Dah'e fo'tellin' in yo' case, sail, impo'tont I kin see dangah, Mass'r Oliver; dangah right ahead o' yo." "That's not hard to foretell in these war times," Oliver laughingly responded. The solemnity of the black witch was not disturbed by ridicule. She was used to that. Sinking slowly to her knees, closing her eyes and waving her arms slowly above her head, she half muttered and half chanted a jargon of meaning-less words. This lasted two or three minutes. Then she stopped her move-ments, opened her eyes and stared fixed-ly at Oliver. He had witnessed her mum-mery before, and was not much im-pressed now, but to the two guests it was new and strange. "Ax' me, Mass'r Oliver, ax' me," she droned. "Tell me what you see," he said, aim-ing only to satisfy the curiosity of the ladies. "I see yo' in de middle ob a soldier comp'ny marchin' marchin'." ' '"Day's Union toldiern marchin1 march-- . in'." HE American civil war had i. f I "begun. Missouri was about '; I evenly balanced between sec- - I cession with the southern I states and loyally with tlio I northern stales. The time I was August, in 1861. There t I had been struggles of legisla-- tion over the question whether Missouri should go with tho south or stay with tho north. Every city, every town, and many a family, was distracted and divided. All was turbulence. Gen. Fremont was in command of the Unionist military de--i partment, and he had sent Gen. Lyon i with a small army to drive out the Con-federate troops, who had entered the atate from Indian territory under com-man- d' of Gen. Ben MoCullooh. The ;j movements of both commanders were for J awhile as chaotic as the diverse senti-- , - ments of the people, for the governments ' of the United States and the Confederate States were alike indecisive in their policy j concerning the uncertain territory. The battle of Wilson's Creek was not far off, and the immediate region was loosely possessed by Confederate troops. But peaceful quite was the yard of a farm house which overlooked the stream at sundown of a summer day. Four persons were unconsciously grouped in a way that made a fair picture. They were two men and two women, not one of whom had gone further in life than a few years beyond maturity. One woman eat negligently on a bench, with one arm hanging over its back, and the other winging at her side. Her face was so perfectly regular and proportionate in its features that it might have been expres-sionless but for large black and wonder-fully lustrous eyes. Ho who stood be-hind her, leaning on the back of the seat, was a very manly fellow. A tendency to slour.hiness in his clothing was in keep-ing with free and oarelesa ways, and in-dicated his rural rearing as certainly as the woman's nicety of dress showed her acquaintance with the exactions of a fashionable life in the city. The other couple were in a swing that 1 hung from the limb of a tree, the brawny I man clasping the ropes with his hands, and the slender woman clinging to him P with more energy than her position jl seemed to require. She jumped down of a sudden, and perverted the fact by say-ing: "You , were hugging mo, Tudor P, Ti n oi. it .i.. - , L "Well, I trust they re Confederates in gray, Aunt Judee. And can't you put me at their bead? I am to be a captain, you know." "Dey yan't In gray. Dey's in blue, sah. Dey's Union soldiers marchin' marchin'," and she swayed her body and held up her head, as though in unison with the tread of the troop which she saw. "An' yo' yan't in de command. Yo's wearin' de same clothes yo' got on now. Oh I see dat yo's a pris'ner, fo' yo' arms is tied, an' de comp'ny guards yo' close." Her eyes turned slowly away from Oliver, and she seemed to be watch-ing something that was moving steadily away. "Marchin' marchin' marchin'," she repeated over and over, but in a low-er and lower tone, until she finally whis-pered: "Dey's gone out'n sight, sah, an' I don't see no nioah." "But I'd really like to know what be-comes of me," Oliver remarked careless-ly. "I trust that you," and he covertly addressed Mrs. Armytage, "have some regard as to that." Old Judee turned her gaza on that lady, and stared steadily, yet vacantly. "Well, well," Mrs. Armytage asked; "and what are you seeing now?" "I see yo' on horseback, lady ridin' hard ridin' fast. Great trouble in yo' face great trouble." Suddenly she ceased to speak and spread one hand to j nuwim. oua lau vui ui Lutj yuru, no following, and clumsily protesting his innocence of intentional impropriety. The pair that remained had listened with the air of being still diverted by i something that was by no means new to them; and the woman said: "They are amusing, Mr. Willett." Her tone was lazy, like her attitude and her manner. Whether she was affected by the listless-nes-s that conies of summer lounging in the country, or whether her calmness of I surface was a careful covering of activ- -' ity underneath, young Oliver Willett had been trying to discern. lie courageously determined on a more direct way to the desired knowledge than guessing, and precipitately began, in thoughtlessly chosen, but ardent words, au avowal of his passion. A woman came to the open window of the house and stood eavesdropping. This was May ,WiUett-01ivei'- 's siiiter, and older than he. She waited only long enough to comprehend what her brother was doing and then interrupted by pre-senting herself before them. Oliver walked into the house' without saying auother word. May took the place that ' he had left at the back of tho Beat, and I said quietly, but with a firm modulation: 5 "Mrs. Armytage, 1 have been listening. I heard what my brother said, and I knew what he was going to say. I am going to speak frankly it is my duty. You and Mrs. Dimmock married women camu here to spend a few weeks. I welcomed you as a school day friend, and her as your friend. You asked me not to tell anybody that you were wives." "That was her freak, not mine," Mrs. Armytage replied; "I was ashamed of it from the start." "You acquiesced at least, aud I gave you my word not to let even Oliver ' know. I did not foresee that you would o quickly become lovers. He bus been commissioned an'oflicer in the Confeder-at- e army, yet he lingers here, away from 1 ' bis duty and in dangerous proximity to the Unionists' advance." Mrs. Armytage's manner was placid as she said: "Am I to blame? I have not ' undertaken to confcrl his conduct or his heart. I am the wife of a United States srmy officer, and who can say that I am unfaithful? I have tried to discourage j your brother, and it is not my fault if I j iiave not succeeded. But if you order me away, I will not hesitate about go--' iine." Mrs. Armytage arose with stately dig-nity, but May drew her back to the seat, saying, "Forgive me." ' "I impose only one condition," Mrs. lArmytage 8aid. "Promise never to your brother. Let him continue to think of me with respect." "I promise," May said. Tudor Bowne and Mrs. Dimmock re--. turned to the yard, and saw nothing in Mrs. Armytage's beautifully immobile face to show that a gust of feeling had. k'wept over it. Mrs. Dimmock was cling-U- g to Tudor 's arm with a clever mock-er of affection, and he was exhibiting an exaltation of delight. They were bringing along an aged negress, whose J gaudily-tuibane- head and tatterdemal- - ictt garments made her a singular iig-f- f are. That was Old Judee, of familiar f V repute in tho county as a witch, but an I A engrossing novelty to the guests. A wan ner ear in tne auituue or. listening. --i heahs yo' say somefing. 'I must sabe him I must sabe him I' Dat's what yo' sayin'. An' now yo' rides into de woods." She had seemed to follow with her eyes the course of the equestrienne, making recognizable the movement of a person in the saddle of a running horse. "Dah, yo's gone. I doan' see no moah." "Try again." "No, missy; I doan' see no moah." Even those who had seen Old Judee before in similar exhibitions were sober-ly impressed. There w'as martial ex-citement in the air, and the woman's rude yet moving description of Oliver a captive in the hands of a company of soldiers stirred them. Within a week they bad witnessed the incursion of Gen. McCulloch and his Confederate rangers from Texas and Arkansas, The local sympathies of the whites favored tho cause of the south, aud they had been widely enthusiastic when the redoubta-ble McCulloch came into sight, surround-ed by his gsyly dressed staff and accom-panied by Governor Jackson, Gen. Price and Gen. Pearce. They had looked with delighted eyes on the first Confederate soldiers that they had seen, the men all dressed in gray, and their officers re-splendent with gilded buttons, golden braid and stars of gold. To look like these gallant soldiers; to be of them; to light beside them, was the one desire of most Missouriuns in that immediate neighborhood. But to oppose this force Gen. Lyon hud brought from the east-ward a Union army, and the minority of Unionists had been dazzled and made enthusiastic by his possession of Spring-- ' field. Some had seen the brave appear-ance that Lyon made as he dashed through the streets on his irou gray horse, under escort of a bodyguard of stalwart troopers enlisted ir. tit. Louis for that especial duly. The fearless horsemanship aud defiant bearing of these bearded warriors, mounted on powerful chargers and arnwd to the teeth with great revolvers and massive swords, their heroic size aim lerucions aspect, gave luster to tne entry into the chief city of the south-west of the grim soldier who had driven the insurgent governor from his capital, had dispersed the army that was gather-ing at Booneville, and had forced Jack-son and Price and all their men to fly for safety into the uttermost 'corner of the state. So the ferment and the contraiety of feelings had wrought the peoplo up to a high pitch of excitement. "I'm ufraid, Aunt Judee," said Oliver, half jesting and half iu earnest, "that youre indulging your northern senti-ments. We're old, old friends, yet you make the Yankees capture me." "But she sends a rescuer after you," Mrs. Dimmock suggested. Hud the negress merely indulged her wish and fancy in doscribing tho Con-federate officer as a prisoner? Aud had she, taking an easy cue from his manner and words to Mrs. Armytage, sought to mollify him by representing the lady as seeking his deliverance? She had the cunning of the southern voudou votaries, whether she possessed any of their sup-posed supernaturalism or not. "Look again." Oliver insisted. "You've put me into, a predicament now "see me through it.' : FINANCIAL. WELLS, FARGO SCO'S . .

Garfield Beaoh and Other 8nmmer Resorts, The city of Salt Lake Has a fame whlcli reaches around the world. The population is about 65,000, and 1b increasing at a rapid rate. It is situated at the base of the Wasatch mountains in a lovely valley, rich in agricul-tural resources and is eighteen miles distant fram Great Salt Lake. Its elevation above sea level is 4,3M feet. There are many points of Interest to visitors in the city and near it. Here are some of them: The Temple. This magnificent cream- - white granite struc-ture was begun April 6, 1853. It is 100x200 feet, the wallB are 100 feet high, and the towers, when completed, will be S00 feet In height. Over 13,1500,000 have been expended on h Temple, and it is now nearing completion. in the same square with the temple Is the spa cloua building called The Tabernacle. Here are held the services of the Mormon chnrch, and these are attended every Bunaay by immense congregations of PPle''Y? Mormon and Gentile, The structure Is oyal shape, seventy-fiv- e feet high and In length and breadth. It has a seating capa-city of 18.000 people, and here may be heard what, Is claimed to be the finest organ in the world. Patti once sang in the tabernacle, and demonstrated that Its acoustic powers are very fine. The Gsrdo House, or Amelia Palace, was hnllt by Brigham Young who willed that it should be the residence of his favorite wife. Amelia Folsom Young, but since his death It has been used as the official residence of dignitaries of the church. Brlgham Young's Residences, known as the e and the Lion House are structures, curious from as-sociations. These are situated in, what was once Brlgham Young's domain, all of which has passed into other hands, save the large lot In which Is Brlgham Young' Grave. This can be reached by passing through the Knffle Gate, an archway in the old mud wall which at one time encompassed Brlgham s pri-vate property. One or two of the prophet s wives repose beside his last resting place. A slab of granite covers the grave and there is space left near by for the graves of his other wives. Deeret Museum. This institution is situated on South Temple street, directly opposite Tomple square. It contains a larsje number of interesting curios-ities, chiefly pertaining t the early history of Utah. It is well worth a visit. Pmpeot Hill iwlth its lookout tower commands a splendid 'view ot the city and It surroundings. The Tithing BaUdlng possesses interest as being the general depot for taxes collected by the Mormon church from Its disciples. Liberty Park, in the southeastern portion of the city is a beautiful resort and can be reached by rapid transit trains. The Chamber of Commerce, on Second South street, is visited by those who take an Interest in the commercial standing of the city. There are several large cases con-taining specimens of Utah's mineralogy which attract much attention. The Grand Opera Haute, on Second South street, is under able manage-ment and is handsomely and comfortably fitted up. Some of the best talent in the coun-try is constantly passing between the Atlantio and the Pacific, and Salt Lake Oity is always made a stopping place for performances, either the opera house or the Salt Lake Theater being selected. This latter place of amuse-ment was built by Brlgham Young over thirty years ago. It Is a large and beautiful temple and Is comfortably arranged. Assembly Hall, near the temple, Is used in winter for worship by the Mormons, the tabernacle being too large lu HUUUL Ul yirjyoi ucttiuii. a.doii.uij 11011 10 130x68 feet, and cost IISO.OOD. The celling Is dec-orated with churoh pictures, among them the Angel Moroni disclosing the hiding place ot the golden plates to Joseph Smith. The Natatorium is a large circular bathing house, the center of which, under a glass roofTls a swimming pool. The water Is brought in pipes from Beok's Hot Springs. There are also a large number of bath rooms. Electric Street Cars connect with every point of Interest ia the city. The system Is new and the appointments good. Rapid transit is assured. Camp Douglas, three miles east of the city an over 400 feet above It, is beautifully laid out in the midst of lawns and orchards, and the barracks and houses of the officers are built of stone. The post commands a wide view ef the city and beyond where Great Salt Lake lies like molten silver at the foot of the western mountains. . Beck's Hot Springs are in the northern part of the city about three miles from the business center. They Issue from the base of the mountains, and are regarded as a Very valuable aid in cases of rheumatism, dyspepsia and scrofula. The waters are used both In-ternally and externally, and there 1b an excellent bath house and necessary appointments for the comfort of patients. The Warm Sulphur Springs are betweentthe Hot Springs and the city, about one mile from the postoftice. There Is a good hotel and comfortable bath house in connec-tion with the springs, and they can be reached by street railway. The Mountains ' are unsurpassed in magnificent, canyons, and at least a dozen of the grandest are within reach of the city. These invite the tourist to spend days, weeks or months among their wild recesses to fish, to hunt, to scale the peaks and ridges, aud to gather wild flowers by the sides of mossy springs, beneath the shade of umbrageous plues. Big Cottonwood canyon should be seen by every tourist. Here are lake Mary and Martha from which flows the turbulent Cottonwood river; and at the base of the mountains are lakes Blanche, Florence and Lillian. Besides these are Mills creek, Parley's, Emigration, and City Creek canyons, all extremely picturesque and delightfully romantic. Pleasant Drives abound in scores around the outskirts of the city; along the quiet country roads, and through the lanes dividing meadows of rich green alfalfa and nelds of grain: while the majestic mountains are never entirely lost sight of. From under the branches of trees and above hedges of the wild dog-ros- e glimpses are caught of snow.covered peaks A Douglas, aud then a mile further on to the mouth of Emigration canyon inmost delightful.

Baltimore's rrtitnest Belle. The most talked of beauty in tho Mon-umental City is Miss Adelo Horwits. Bho has a reputation as assured as that of Marion Langdon or Sallie Hargous in New York, and she has won her laurels as the Baltimore beauty par excellence ia Philadelphia, Narragansett Pier and Bar Harbor. She is the only daughter of B. F. Horwitz, a prominent business man of Baltimore, and through her mother, who was the daughter of the world known physician, Dr. Gross, she is con-nected with the best Philadelphia and Kentucky families. She is tall, fairly slender, and royally carries a head of marvelous beauty on her white shoulders. The coloring of that head is equal to its grace, for it if produced by the palest rose of the cheeks and the golden brown of the hair. Her color is never high, but always of that pale tint seen in the hedge rose. Eyes blue and well opened, brows arched, nose fine and small, and a riante mouth make up the other attributes of the beautiful Miss Horwitz. She has the well groomed look of a high bred English girl, but Frenoh maiden. Two years ago, when she made her debut, even Baltimore, the city of beauties, was taken by storm. Cor. Kansas City Globe.

For some years life was unen-durable, and no meal could be eaten in peace. But all at once there was a change for the better. Bars and screens were often out of place, but there was almost an immunity from insects. I was batching at the time and had just changed my colored boy. The new comer explained to me how he kept the "critters" away. He burnt small pieces of gum camphor on the cook stove and used a secret preparation he called "sude-killo.- " When I got married and came to Missouri I imparted the secret to my wife, and as there is no patent on it that I know of, I would advise all fellow suf-ferers to go and do likewise. The gum camphor alone is ample for the purpose, and need only be wed two or three times a day. Herbert A. Finley in St. Louis Globe-Democr- Sleeves of the Future. Simple as the present fashions are, they have not yet reached the limit of simplicity. For next winter the skirts of gowns will be entirely plain from the waist to the hem, which may be finished with a handsome border of embroidery or applique. The bodice will also be plainer than at present, with the excep-tion of the vest trimming and the sleeves. The ornamentation of the sleeve will be the distinctive feature of gowns for a year to come. Where the rest of the gown will be simplicity itself, the sleeve will be of a different stuU from the rest of the costume as rich a stuff as poss-iblemade full as now, thickly embroid-ered or braided, or decorated in some way from wrist to shoulder. What the sleeve was to the costume in the time of Queen Elizabeth it is to be to the drees cf the woman of today. Let the fashionable woman look well to her sleeve, Inter-view in New York Evening Sun. A New Order In New York. An intense young woman, a member of the Art Students' league of New York, has founded a new order called the Order of the Zinnia, named for that prim and unyielding flowor which is be-lieved to be the emblem of perpetual maidenhood, aud the students who wear the zinnia have declared themselves weddod to their art. Each member takes an oath never to marry, but to pledge herself to her work. But, as usual with the irrevocable, there is a post-crip- t. When she has taken the oath she adds the following sentence: "But if I ever do marry I promise to give a dinner to the Zinnias, which shall not cost less than $100, as a penalty for having broken my vow to my art and to my order."
