Chicago Tribune. drew my eyes away, Rnd I began to dis-cover on every side strange and bea iti-f-objects which greatly interested me, until suddenly my ryes f'l upon a vision of loveliness so enchanting that I forgot to look elsewhere ami became for tho moment nothing but wght and feeling. It was a picture, or so I thought ia the first instant of awe and delight. But presently I saw that it was a woman, livhrg and full of the thoughts that had never been mine, and at the discovery a sudden trembling seized nie, for I had never seen anything in heaven or earth like her beautv, while she saw nothing but tho man who was bending over his papers. There was a door or something dark' behind Iter, and against it her tall, strong figure, chid in a close white gown, stood out with a distinctness that was not alto-gether earthly, lint it was her face that held me and made of me from moment to moment a new man. Tor in it I discerned what: 1 had never believed in till now, devotion that had no limit and love which asked nothing iu return. She seemed to be faltering on the threshold of that room, like ono who would liiiu to enter hut does not dare, and iu another moment, with a I knew I should save her or dio in the attempt. "He is alone there with a girl," I an-nounced. ' Whether she is his wife or not I cannot say, but there is no cross against her name, and I ask that she lifl ' ppared not only from sharing his fate, but from tho sight of his death, for she loves him." This fn in me! No wonder the cap-tain stared, then laughed. But. I did not laugh i'i return, and being the strong-est man in the band and the surest with my ritle, he did not trifio long, but lis-tened to my p!:u!n mid in part consented to them, so that I retreated to my post at the gateway with something like con-fidence, while he, approaching the door, lifted the ktiocker and let it fall with a resounding must have rung like a knell of death to the hearts within. For the jadge knew onr errand; I saw it in his f e e when lie rose to his feet, and he laid no hope, for we had never failed in our attempts, and the house, though built, was easily assail-able. ' While i he captain knocked threo men had scaled the portico and were ready to enter the op. n windows if tho judge only counted out clearly and steadily, "One two three," up to a hundred; then he paused, turned and lifted his hand; when instantly our four rifles rose, and at tho same moment the door, with a faint grating sound I shall never forget, slowly opened and tho firm, un-shrinking figura of the judge appeared. We did not delay. One simultaneous burst of fire, one loud quick crack, and his figure fell before our eyes. A sound, a cry from within, then all was still, and the captain, mounting his horse, gave one quick whistle and galloped away. We followed him, but I was tho last to mount, and did pot .follow long, for at the flash of those guns I had seen it smilo across our victim's lip, and my heart was on fire, and I could not rest till 1 had found my way back to that open doorway and the figuro lying within it. There it was, and behind it a house empty as my heart ban been since that day. A man's dress covering a woman's form and over the motiotilor.s, perfect features that same smile which I hud seen in the room beyond and again in tho quick glaro of the rifles. I had harbored uo evil thought con-cerning her, but when I beheld that smile now sealed and fixed upon Iter lips j through the sky had taken the shape of words and b;ffle us all beware. I was j not one to be daunted, and knew no other course than that of advance when once a stroke of justice had been planned and the direction for its fulfillment marked out. I went on, but I began to think, and that to me was an experience, for I had never been taught to reflect: only to fight and obey. The house toward which wo were rid-ing was built on a hillside, and tho first thing we saw on emerging from the for- - est was a light burning in one of its dis-tant windows. This was a surprise, for tho hour was late, and in that part of the country people were accustomed to re-- tire early, even such busy men as the judge. Ho must have a visitor, and a visitor meant a possible complication of affairs; so a halt was called, and J was singled out to reconnoiter the premises and bring back word of what we had a rii'ht to expect. I started off in a strange state of mind. Tlie fear I had spoken of had left ' ' me, but a vague shadow remained, through which, as through a mist, I saw the light iu that far away window beck- - oiiing me on to what I felt was in some j way to make an end of my present life. I found the soul I had never known that I possessed until that day. AnnaKatho-rin- e Green in Philadelphia Times. THE BLACK CROSS. A black cross had been set against Judge Hawkins' name. Why it is not for me to say. We were not accustomed to explain our motives or to give rea-- i eons for our deeds. The deeds were enough, and this black cross meant death, and when it had been shown us all that we needed to know further was at what hour we should meet for tho contemplated raid. A word from the captain settled that, and when the next Friday came a dozen men met at tho place of rendezvous ready for the ride which should bring them to the judge's solitary mansion across the mountains. I was among them rnd in as satis-factory a inood a.s I had ever been in my life, for the night was favorable and the men hearty and in first rate condition, But after we had started and were threading a certain wood I began to have doubts. Feelings I had never be-- fore experienced assailed mo with a force that first perplexed and then astounded me. I was afraid, and what rather heightened than diminished the mi- - wonted sensation was the fact that I was ' not afraid of anything tangible, either in tho present or future, but of some-- . thing nnexplainable and peculiar, which if it lay in the skies certainly made them look dark indeed, and if it hid in the forest, caused its faintest murmur to seem like tho utterance of a great dread, as awful as it was inexplicable-- . I nevertheless proceeded, and should have done so if the great streaks of light-ning which now and then shot zigzag re-fused to parley or offered any resistance to what wtis known as the captain's will. "Death to tin- judge!"' was tho cry, ami it was echoed not only at the door but around the house, where the rest of the men had drawn a cordon ready to way-lay any one who sought to escape. Death to the judge! And the judge was loved by that woman and would be mourned by her till But a voice is speaking, a voice from t that (Treat house, and it a: ks what is wanted and what the mean-ing is of i lies- - threats of death. And thy captain answers short and sharp: "The Kn-K!- commands, but never explains. What it commands now is for-judge Hawk to come forth. If ho shrinks or delays Lis house will bo en-tered and burned, i,t if he will come out and meet like ii man what awaits him his house shall go free and his family remain unmolested." "And what is it that awaits him?"' pur-sued the voice. "Four bullets from four unerring rifles," ret urned the captain. "It is well: he will come forth," cried the voice, and then in a huskier tone: "Let me kiss the woman I love. I will not keep yon long." Arid the captain answered nothina J smile that pierced me through, siio j turned as if to ro. Instantly I forgot evrythin but my iiVNpair. and le:i":d J forward with nn impetuosity that ( ti 'iyed my presence. Sho glanced qniek-- i ly toward the window, and seeing me turned pale, even while the rose in height till I felt myself shrink and grow email liefore her. Thrusting out her hand she tvmght from the table before her what looked like a small dagger, and holding it up, advanced upon nie with blazing eyes and part eil lips, not seeing that the judge had risen to his feet, not seeing anything but: my face g.ned against the pane, and staring with an expression that must have struck to the heart as surely as her look pierced mine. Win n she was al-most upon me I turned and fled. Hell could not have frightened me, but heaven did; Hnd for me that woman was heaven whether slit- - smiled or frowned, gazed upon another with love or raised a dag-ger to strike nie to the ground. How soon I met my mates I cannot say. In a few minutes, doubtless, for tiny had stolen after mo and had de-tected me running away from the win-dow. I was forced to tell my tale, and I told it unhesitatingly, for I knew I could not save him if I wanted to and j As I drew neirin to it the feeling in-- ; creased; then it, too, left me, and I found mysi if once more the daring avenger. This was when I came to the foot of the hill and discovered I had but a few steps more to take. The house, which had now liecome plainly visible, was a solid one of stone, built, as 1 have said, on the hillside. It faced the road, as was shown by tho large portico dimly to be discerned in that direction, but its rooms were main-ly ou the side, and it was from one of tiiese that the light, shone. As I came yet nearer I perceived that these rooms were guarded by a piazza, which, com-municating with the portico in front, afforded an open road to i'l it window and a clear sight of wiia :y behind it. I was instantly off my and upon the piazza, and before I had time to real-ize that my fears had returned to mo with double force I had crept stealthily toward that uncurtained window and looked in. What did I see? At first nothing but a calm, studious figuro bending above a batch of closely written papers, upon which the light shone too brightly for me to perceive much of what lay behind them. But gradually an influence, of whose w orkings I was scarce conscious, j i A tiiwiiiil coivceuon.

A lively war' has been raging there for I soino weeks now because a clergyman of a popular church rides a bicycle in the f morning for his health. Ho says that I he cannot afford to hire a horse on the ono baud, and that he is troubled with f corns on the other. The only medium which he can embrace is tho bicycle. There have been two extend'.! debates t between the preacher and the congrega-tion. Thus far the congregation seems to be ahead, as there are strong indications that the pastor will be obliged either to trive up his bicycle riding or to with-draw from the church.
