The Indian Hit.
During a football game at Cambridge
between the Harvard eleven and the
Carlisle Indian school team Malcolm
Donald was playing opposite a splen-
didly built Indian. The play was ex-
ceedingly rough, and Donald bad in
the course of tbe play landed some
pretty hard elbow blows on the slower
moving Indian. ,
Presently the Indian began to take
notice of the punishment he was re-
ceiving and during a pause between
plays walked slowly over to Donald
and said with a certain note of remon-
strance in bis voice;
“You hit me three times. I think I
shall have to hit you.”
Donald thanked him for bis courte-
ous warning and resolved to be on
guard, but during the heat of the pla;
he wholly forgot the little matter.
Presently, at the end of a scrimmage,
while Donald was standing watching
the crowd, the Indian strode up to
him and deliberately dealt him a blow
over tbe bead which stretched him
out
With difficulty Donald picked himself
up and resumed the play. At the epd
of tbe game tbe Indian came up to bim
again and said rather apologetically,
“I hit you." ' *
“So 1 noticed,” said Donald, rubbing
bis bead ruefully.
“Well, 1 guess we are square now.
Shake!”
And the Indian stretched out a
brawny fist.

came into the library, where I
Sitting, very much discomposed.
“What is it?” I asked.
"George,”, she said, “Mrs. Mendlcott
has made up ber mind to keep us
•part by ruining me,”
"Hbw do you know?”
“Know! I've seen through her from
the first. What do you suppose she
has done? On going Ihto my room
Just now I found a twenty dollar bill
on the floor before my dreasing table.
Mrs. Mendlcott put it there in tbe hope
that I would take it and she could ac-
cuse me of stealing it”
"What did you do with It?"
"Left it where she placed It. 1
wouldn’t touch It with a pair of
tongs.”
"That won’t do. I’ll go and get It.’
I hastened to tbe room and looked all
over the floor, but the hill was not
there, nor could A dele find It wben sh«
went to look for it Mrs. Mendlcott an-
nounced that abe had lost a twenty dol-
lar bill in Adele’s room when she went
there with her purse in her hand to
put some clothes In tbe empty bureau
drawers. She left us all to draw our
own inference*.
I did not propose that Adele Should
rest under such an imputation. 1 ques-
tioned my stepmother, not telling her
that I had beeu warned in tbe matter,
and she convinced me that sbe bad
not herself taken the motfey from tbe
room. 1 questioned tbe servants, but
gained no clew front atiy of them tiir
I came to Joe. tbe colored manservant.
I looked Joe tn the ei7e and saw there a
siy shrewdness that convinced me of
bis guilt. 1 searched bim and bi^room,
but found nothing.
Then my father came to me and in-
sisted that Miss Triniball’s effects be
searched ty?fore she left tbe bouse I
protested, but without avail The bill
was not found, but more money
ber possession than It was believed s^e
had. for she was Wry j»oor' fand 1.er
salary had beeu very small At any
rate. Mrs Mqtidieqtt convinced my fa-
ther that Adele whs the thief, aDd I
was informed that if I married ber I
would be disinherited
What wi.aid It&vcTl to l< ;i my father
that Adele bad seen the bill in ber room
and told me Of it? Such a statement
would not be believed and would only
widen the breach. Either Mrs. Mendl-
cott had taken tbe bill herself or some
one had gone into tbe room In Adele’*
absence aud taken it- I inclined to-
ward tbe latter opinion, I must either
Snd the thief or lose my patrimony, be
aides seeing the girl 1 would marry re
main under a cloud. I lay awake tbe
night of Adele’s departure thinking
out some plan of investigation, but
could hit on nothing. I believed that
Joe had appropriated the bill, but since
be and his .effect* bad been searched
there seemed to be nothing more to
do.
One Sunday evening Joe came home
smoking a cigarette. He had a cob
pipe in the stable which he smoked
when off duty, and I had sometime*
seen him smoking s cigar, but never
before a cigarette. I had been watch-

and tbe lucky coup became the talk of
the village for the rest of the week.
Next Sunday the church was cram-
mid to the door. The pious pustor wag
rejoiced In heart. After a powerful ad-
dress he gave out “byrnu No. 27.” The
moment tbe words left his lips, to bis
consternation, tbete was. a rush to tbe
door, and he was left with a faithful
handful to upraise their agitated strain
of praise.
As for the rest, they made a bee line
from the house of prayer to the house
of play. It is said that their little ad-
venture cost them all very dear.
What the Preacher Learned.
A celebrated preacher when speak-
ing to some :i.»>00 children, after de-
lighting them with rt variety of stories,
thought it might bqfWell to point the
moral of one of them. He bad hardly,
however, begun to any. “Now this
teaches.” when a little rugamuffiu op
the front bench cried ont: "Never mind
wbat it teaches. Gle’s another story.”
“I learned from that rascal ”
the moral well
tbe
lng for bim to possess something new
which he had bought with tbe money
I believed he bad taken.
"Joe,” I said, "have you another cig-
arette?" /
He pulled out a package and banded
It to me. I took -one, looking into Joe’s
face as I did so and noticed that he ap-
peared anxious. 1 Lighting the ciga-
rette, I puffed awhile, then said;
“These are fine, Joe. Where'did you
get them?’
He told me, and in ten minutes I was
in tbe shop in conference with the to-
bacconist to find out if Joe had offered
a large bill for his purchase. I was
disappointed. Tbe boy had paid in
small change.
Later I went out to the stable, where
I found Joe enjoying bis pipe.
“Have you anqtber cigarette, Joe?”
I asked.
“No. sir; 1 smoked ’em all up.”
“What! Smoked ten cigarettes in sd
hour?"
-“Well, you see. I give some of ’em
away.” *
“Whom did you gjye them to?”
“I gave ’em to”— He could feet no
further. He was cornered.
“What imakes that lump in your veet
pocjtet?”
He looked down at the pocket, while
I. putting my thumb and finger'tnto it.
drew out a paper caee half full of cig-
arettes.
I felt sure l was on the scept and
did not waste any time. Taking a cig-
arette from tbe cash. I pulled it to

cerning the sailor’s aspirations
and as a result he secured his
entrance to the school of navi-
gation at Hamburg and gave
him money with which to pay
fell his expanses of a course
there,' '
Princess Henry will accom-
pany Prince Henry to the coro-
