The Basis Valuator at Grimsby HAMILTON MONEY TO LOAN ing and Hughson S®ts . â€"TURNBULL B. CALDER C. FERRIE, Treasurer "From a small child C. T. FARRELL s s § | Miss Margaret Lawrence was an elâ€" derly maiden lady who, having pined for a mission, finally decided to take one upon herself. She selected the amelioration of the criminal classes. She visited them in prison, and many of them talked with her so persuasiveâ€" ly about the unfortunate cireumstances that had led them to become criminals that she came to believe they were all victims of their surroundings. This led her to advocate mercy toward them. Miss Lawrence, who was wealthy, founded a society for helping criminals to lead a better life. Her society was really a corps of young women who were proud to be her assistants. They worked with her in the cause and though during a term of years they succeeded in lifting only a very few criminals up into a better sphere perâ€" manently, they persevered. One of Miss Lawrence‘s objects was to induce persons against whom crimes had been committed to refrain from prosecution and to take the offender under their protection with a view to accomplishing his reformation. She found this a difficult matter. When one hbhad been victimized by a confiâ€" dence man he was usually bent rather on punishment than sympathy. When a woman lost her jewelry at the hands of a dishonest servant she considered itgher duty to the state to prosecute the thief. Miss Lawrence spent much of her time in endeavoring to induce such persons to forego revenge and help bring about a new birth in those who had injured them. Never was a man more particular in rendering his accounts. If from the multitude of payments at any one time he was at a loss to account for a dime or a nickel he was so much trouâ€" bled that his mistress sometimes exâ€" pected that he would burst into tears. On such occasions she assured him that so trifliing an amount was of no consequence, but in vain. He would mourn over the fact that after the unâ€" fortunate condition in which she had found him she would surely think him dishonest. He refused to be comâ€" forted. Whenever Miss Lawrence saw an acâ€" count in a newspaper of a theft or a robbery she would go or send one of her assistants to the injured person to induce him or her to be merciful, One day, hearing that an elderiy butler had been caught purloining his employer‘s valuables she went to the jail, saw the thief, who hbad been arrested, and found him to be a man of fifty, of good appearance and, according to his account, the victim of unfortunate cirâ€" cumstances. His name was Homer Hawkins. When asked how he came by the name of Homer he said that his father had been a pedagogue and an admirer of the great poet. Homer Hawkins wept bitter tears over the condition in which he found himself and so worked on Miss Lawrence‘s feelings that she went to his late masâ€" ter, secured a promise that he would not prosecute the case and took Mr. Hawkins under her own especial care for the purpose of giving him an opâ€" portunity to show how eruel fate had been to him. Hawkins was made major domo of Miss Lawrence‘s household. He seemâ€" ed too respectable to be called butler or to perform the menial services of a butler. The truth is bhe did very little of anything, because Miss Lawrence had nothing for so respectable a person to do. He attended to the purchase of nousehold supplies, and since his mistress paid cash for everything she bought her major domo was inâ€" trusted with the funds used for the purpose. A Philanthropist _ Spoiled One day Hawkins went out to do the morning‘s marketing. He did not reâ€" turn at the usual time and in the meanwhile a lady called on Miss Lawâ€" rence and she sought her kind offices in the matter of a criminal who had robâ€" bed her. The lady was willing to forâ€" give the culprit, but asked Miss Lawâ€" rence to undertake his reform. â€" The ladies‘ car was at the door, and she begged Miss Lawrence to go with her to a police station to see the prisoner. Miss Lawrence consented and on the way the lady told her that the crimâ€" inal hbhad called on one of her maids the evening before and had gone away with some valuable sgilver.. He had been arrested in the morning. _ . When Miss Lawrence reached the jail, and the culprit was marched out of his cell the good lady was astonâ€" ished. He was Homer Hawkins. His benefactress was at a loss what to do in the matter, but, turning to the lady who had suffered, was about to plead for the prisoner, when an inâ€" spector showed her a number of arâ€" ticles belonging to her that had been found in Hawkins‘ possession. There was a difference in Miss Lawâ€" rence‘s neighbors losing valuables and losing them herself. She turned upon Hawkins, calledâ€" him an ungrateful man, and then, after promising the inâ€" spector that she would appear against the prisoner, walked out of the office the picture of indignation. This ended Miss Lawrence‘s indiâ€" | caught up the vidual work in the reformation of crimâ€" | everything of v inals.

By SADIE OLCOTT In the spring of the year 1868 a parâ€" ty of sporting hunters numbering thirâ€" ty entered the elbow of Texas between New Mexico and the Indian territory. While the Comanche Indians were bitterly hostile at that time they had been sadly reduced by smallpox and driven to the north, and old frontiersâ€" men stated their belief that the party would not even see one. I had been invited to make one of the party, but was detained for a couâ€" ple of days. I then mounted my horse and picked up the trail and followed after, having no fear that I should run any danger in thus riding. > It had come noon of the second day, and I had met with no adventure. I had baited and watered my horse and was ready to move on, when I heard a "Â¥i, yi, yil‘::on my right, and I turnâ€" ed around to see five Comanches comâ€" ing out of the timber on their ponies. They were just half a mile away and had evidently discovered me. I had a cold I|:‘*e in my haversack, and after disposing of it stretched out and went to sleep, hoping I bhad given the red men the slip. I opened MY eyes the next morning in astonish ment. Seated in a cirecle about me were the five Comanches, While their ponies were feeding with my horse. C |lay on my back with my bhands clasPpâ€" | ed under my head, and such was mYy | astonishment that I could not move. Fortunately for me they took this £fof. \ nerve. I looked from man to man, ! and finally said in Comanche: _ ‘ "Had I known you were Comanches l 1 should not have run away. I thought \ you were Chickasaws on‘stolen horses. l I shall be ready to go as soon as I ‘ have eaten.â€" I want to see the Coâ€" manche countryâ€"the vast plainsâ€"the When a man rides for his life the greatest fear is in overdoing the matâ€" ter. I had been five years on the piains and had a pretty fair stock of nerve, and I rode to favor my horse. As the sun began to sink in the west they sought to shorten the disâ€" tance between us and bring me into rifle shot, but a word to the mustang checkmated this. $ Had I been able to keep the trail aftâ€" er 3 o‘clock I should have counted on finding the party by sundown, as we were getting over the ground at a.rapâ€" id pace, but at about that hour I came to a rough, stony district, where the passage of the horses had left no trail, and I went abhead at random, planning to keep my distance from the river. It was to be a starlight night, and as soon as dusk came I urged my beast to a faster pace and bore more to the left. When I believed I had gained a quarter of a mile I swerved sharply to the right, rode for forty rods and then dismounted and gave Custer the word to lie down. We were both flat on the earth when the party of pursuers swebpt by, and the thud, thud, thud of their ponies‘ feet came very plainly to myYy ears.

I stood guard all night, and when morning came was satisfied that the two who had escaped had no idea of returning. After a scanty breakfast I ‘caught up the six animals, packed up everything of value, and then I headed to the southeast for the river, and at 83 o‘clock rodé right into the camp of the I heard them scatter and beat about, and while they were hunting for me I crawled along and got my gun. I crept away from the circle of the fire and then got the shelter of a tree. The Indians beat about for a good half hour, and then all came in, chagrined and disgusted. I lifted my gun and took fair aim at the leader. He went down as my rifle cracked and was folâ€" lowed by a second and a third before the surviving two. could comprehend what was going on. Neither stopped for his gun. party, which had settled down for sport. and had given me no thought. Next day a party of us rode over to give the bodies a more careful inspecâ€" tion, and we found on each one a gilâ€" ver government medal, given them durâ€" ing Lincoln‘s first term, as "good Inâ€" By M. QUAD THE INDEPENDENT. GRIMSBY Wheh I was a youngster casting about for something to do for a living I spent a good deal of time groping in the dark. I was of an adventurous disposition and longed for new fields. Finally I settled on a career. I went out to India to seek my forâ€" tune and foundâ€"well, for three years 1 found poverty, then I found someâ€" thing better. Walking on a street in Calcutta, I saw at my feet a brilliant spot emitting the colors of the specâ€" trum. I stooped and picked up, to my surprise, a diamond. It was not one of enormous proportions, nor yet was it small. It was worth not less than $10,â€" 000 nor more than $20,000, but as I was no judge of diamonds, I did not know. â€" It was surely of sufficient value to take me home to America and give me a new start. Nevertheless, I was sufficiently honâ€" est to look in such mediums as would serve to advertise its loss. I did not advertise it myself because there is so much rascality in that benighted counâ€" try that had I done so I would have been beset by persons whose object would have been to get possession of it surreptitiously. I did not see any adâ€" vertisement of a lost diamond, so I considered myself its owner. My theâ€" ory of its loss was this: There had been a gathering of Indian potentates in Calcutta, and some one of them had dropped it. These fellows have so many jewels that the loser may not bave missed it, or perhaps if he did miss it he may hbhave considered it beâ€" neath his dignity to issue any public notice of the fact. One incident in its finding troubled\ me. Upon picking it up, while I was. examining it I looked up sudderly to learn if any one saw me and encounâ€". tered the gaze of an Indian. There was a diabolical expression on his face that told me if he had a chance he would murder me to relieve me of my find. I put the gem in my vest pocket and walked away, not looking at the man to see what became of him. I had a room in a low grade hostelry â€"I could afford nothing betterâ€"and that night in order to make sure of my, gem I tied it to the palm of my hand and slept with it in my grip. During the night I heard some one rummaging in my room. I lay perfectly still, and by and by whoever was there went out. ‘I had not told any one of my find and could not understand who could have had a motive for robbing one whose very appearance indicated poverty. < I had a friend in Caleutta who was in good cireumstances. I went to him, told him of my find and that I wished to go home. He loaned me the money to pay my fare, and I sailed for San Francisco. I had not been out twelve hours before I recognized in one of the passengers the man who had seen me pick up the diamond. It is a very uncomfortable feeling to know that you are cooped up with one who is determined to relieve you of a valuable article. It seemed to me that, whatever I did to conceal my diamond, this Indian would get it from me. I was sure that he bhad come on board for it, and the natives of India are so stealthy, have so many insidious ways of securing their ends, that I considâ€" ered my property as good as lost. On the forward lower deck was a coop containing chickens. They were of a rare variety and were going to some American chicken fancier. One morning, standing before the coop, a singular plan of concealing my diaâ€" mond occurred to me. It was to let one of the chickens swallow it. He would hold it in his crop, and I could shadow him as the Indian was shadâ€" owing me and in time get it away fram him HFrom my next meal I took singular plan of concealing my (iaâ€" mond occurred to me. It was to 1et1 one of the chickens swallow it. He would hold it in his crop, and I could shadow him as the Indian was shadâ€" owing me and in time get it away from him. From my next meal I took away with me some crusts of bread and, going to the chicken coop as soon as I was sure I ‘was unobserved, beâ€" gan feeding a stately rooster. He took down one piece of crust after another, and among them I fed him my diaâ€" mond. It was rather large for him, but he got it down, and I congratulatâ€" ed myself that if it was lost to me that rascally Indian would not get it. I visited the bird, that was now worth a small fortune, the same evenâ€" ing and went again to the coop the next morning. He was there in the evening, but at my morning visit I was horrified to see that he was missing from the coop. I knew that the Indian had got him, but did not trouble myâ€" self to discover how. Not a word did I say to any one on the subject. I met the Indian later walking the deck and fancied that there was a look of triâ€" umph in his eye. As for me, I enâ€" deavored to conceal any evidence of knowing that he had secured possesâ€" sion of my property. If he was obliged to kill the rooster for the diamond I was resolved to kill him before I would permit him to leave the ship with my property. Where did he keep the bird? I was not long in finding out. My stateroom was in the stern of the ship directly over the steerage. In the middle of the night I heard a crow. Jumping from my berth, I threw on some clothes, ran below and hunted for the crower. 1 found him in possession of the Indian. I drew a long knife, with which I made a pass at the man, seizâ€" ed the rooster and ran with him to my room and locked the door. I never left the room, nor did the bird till after reaching port. I killed him in my stateroom and was delightâ€" ed to find the diamond in his crop. I got it safely ashore and sold it to a jeweler for $18,000.

Worthington was more interested in seeing the country than in his official duties, which were nominal, and he traveled over such parts of China as were open to foreigners. One day he fell in with a mandarin who had been a good deal in England and spoke the language. The mandarin traveled in style, being carried in a chair, common in Europe until near the beginning of the nineteenth century, by two men and attended by several other servâ€" ants. Worthington, who traveled on horseâ€" back, on joining the mandarin rode beâ€" side the chair, chatting with him. The American knew enough of China to understand that it was infested with robbers and was armed to the teeth. The mandarin was an elderly person, unused to arms, but his servants were prepared to defend him. They were armed with pikes, short swords and other weapons, which Worthington considered next to useless in a fight with an enemy properly accoutered. Suddenly while passing through a narrow cut in the road the party was attacked by a dozen men bent on fobâ€" bery. They were not much better armâ€" ed than the mandarin‘s servants, but they outnumbered the latter, who imâ€" mediately took to flight, leaving their master in the hands of the enemy. Worthington drew a revolver from under his coat at each hip and began a fusilade that put the robbers to fiight. Upon this the servants returnâ€" ed and humbly begged the master‘s forgiveness for having deserted him. He was profuse in his thanks to the American, who had not only saved a considerable amount of money for the Chinaman, but his life as well. He begged Worthington to name some faâ€" vyor that he could do him, but the latâ€" ter said that he wanted for nothing in the world. Then the mandarin took ujp a ‘bamboo umbrella and opened it. Culling for a writing stick, he wrote on it something as unintelligible to his preserver as the receipt of a Chinese laundryman in America. Handing it to Worthington, he said in a voice so low as not to be heard by his servants: "A time is coming when there will be a movement on the part of our igâ€" norant and superstitious people to rid China of all foreigners. Keep this umâ€" brella and if attacked open it in the face of your would be murderer." Worthington paid no attention to the man‘s warning.. Every one knew that foreigners were hated by the Chinese, and there bhad always been talk about the latter being massacred. The Amerâ€" ican was young, and the young take little thought of danger. But he was too polite not to assure the mandarin that he would keep his gift as a reâ€" membrance of him and the episode. An American named Preston lived in Peking, who operated a banking house which was a branch of one in New York. Worthington spent a good deal of time at his house, attracted by the banker‘s® daughter, Emma Preston. When the Boxer trouble broke out a month after the foregoing episode Worthington was at Preston‘s house. It was without the regions of the emâ€" bassies and entirely unprotected. Worthington on the first sign of danâ€" ger returned to the embassy for leave to absent himself for the protection of the family in which he was interestâ€" ed. Having attained it, he was about to start back when he noticed the umâ€" brella given him by the mandarin. The day was very hot and it occurred to him to take it for protection against the sun‘s rays. As to the words spoâ€" ken concerning it if attacked by an enemy, he had forgotten them, but he did not forget to take with him a couâ€" ple of revolvers and a supply of carâ€" tridges. As Worthington approached the Presâ€" ton home he noticed knots of Chinaâ€" men talking together excitedly. Some of them scowled at him, but since they had as much dread as hatred of a "foreign devil," they did not attack him. He reached the Preston home safely, but found the family in great trepidation, expecting that at any time a mob would attack and murder them. The anticipated trouble occurred the next day. The banker‘s residence was well known, and a crowd of Chinamen armed with all sorts of implements from a scythe to a razor came down for murder. Worthington knew that, though armed, he could not withstand so large a force; nevertheless he staâ€" tioned himself at.a window over the front door, ready to use up his carâ€" tridges. Worthington was at a loss to account for this sudden change, but it was soon explained to him. One of the family had caught up his umbrella, as a drowning person will catch at a straw, opened it and held it at a window on the ground floor as a protection against stones that were being thrown in. On it was a message signed by a man to whom the Boxers looked as a comâ€" mander: â€"â€" The howling mass came, stopped beâ€" fore the house and were about to make an onslaught upon it when suddenly all their eyes were cast to a window diâ€" rectly beneath the one Worthington occupied. Then every weapon was lowered, every knife was sheathed and the Chinamen moved on. & Respect this man and hi property. An Incident of the Boxer Movement In China By JOHN Y.
