. PIPER, PLAY!
Mow the furnaces are out
And the aching anvils sleep.
Down the road the grimy rout
Tramples homeward twenty deep.
Piper, play! Piper, play!
Though we be o'erlabored men,
Pipe for rest, pipe your best,
Let us foot it once again!
Bridled looms delay their din;
All the humming wheels are spent;
Busy spindles cease to spin;
Warp and woof must rest content.
Piper, play! Piper, play!
For a little we are free!
Foot it, girls, and shake your curia,
Haggard creatures though we be!
We are of the humblest grade,
Yet we dare to dance our fill.
Male and female were we made,
Fathers, mothers, lovers still!
Piper—softly ; low and soft.
Pipe of love in mellow notes
Till the tears begin to flow
And our hearts are in our throats.

HERE'S E0E YORK."
Ere I could step across the kitch-
en to unbar the door the knock
came again, sharp and hard, as
though the man without were in no
mood for delay. I lifted the latch
and threw wide the door and in the
light of the lantern saw his hand
lifted in act to knock again.
"In the king's name!" says he,
with one foot across the threshold.
"And welcome," says I, and made
way for him.
He stopped, glancing over his
shouldej^at the horse.
;e him in too.
lookin^rroun" "hut if there
were he were welcome. We are for
the king," says I, willing to make
him comfortable on the main point.
. He pulled the horse inside. When
I turned to it from barring the door,
I saw with a glance that there was
not another half mile left in it. The
next moment it had dropped to the
floor, with a sharp groan.
" 'Tis the most cursed luck, " says
he. "Sure, I have been followed by
ill fortune"— He broke off and
looked suspiciously at the door and
window. "You are well protected,
master,'' he says, turning his eyes
to mine.
"We can stand a tilt," says I.
"Rest easy on that score."
"A quart of old ale made hot and
poured down its throat," says I as
much to myself as to him, "will do
it no harm and may do it much
good."
Standing by the pan and keeping
my fingers in the draft that I had
mixed so that I could tell when
the right heat was attained, I took
a careful look at the man at my
side. He was of my own size and
build—a tall, spare fellow, with a
deep chest and square shoulders,
straight as a pikestaff and having a
certain stern look about his mouth
and eyes. His uniform was very
plain, but there were jewels in the
hilt of his sword, and the feathers
that drooped from his hat, draggled
as they were, were rich and thick,
as a gallant's should be.
Between us we poured the ale
down the poor beast's throat.
"There's naught to hope for in
him tonight," says he gloomily.
" 'Tis my usual ill fortune"—
He gave me a quick, curious stare.
"So you are for the king, farm-
er?" he says. " 'Sdeath, 'tis a piece
of the rarest luck that I chanced to
knock at your door. I am at the
most desperate pass, but you are for
the king, eh?" says he with empha-
sis.
"I said so and mean so," says I.
" 'Tjp necessary to be sure of
things-7 in these times," says he,
with a sigh of relief, "and I have
that to tell you which I would not
willingly tell to the king's lightest
enemy. Here I am," he says, low-
ering his voice, "carrying a dispatch
of the strictest importance to Ru-
pert and Newcastle at York. Hark
you, farmer, 'tis the king's own
signature that foots it. and I find
myself stopped"—his eyes wander-
ed to the horse—"and followed"—
They turned uneasily to the door.
"Followed?" says I.
"As I said," says he coplly enough.
"They have been at my heels for
the last ten miles. Three of them
there are, and all well mounted.
Plague take them!"
"They are without, then," says I.
"They were within 200 yards of
me when I turned in at your gate,"
says he. "But where they are now
the Lord knows.''
I opened the shutter of the hatch
and got out into the little garth be-
tween the great ash and the hedge-
row, taking good heed not to crack
even a dry twig, when I became
aware of the three troopers.
They were out on the road, and
each man sat his horse in such a
sworn horse and man were of
bronze or marble.
"That he turned in here," says
one, "is certain. Why he turned
aside is not so certain. But if he
carries dispatches for Rupert at
York 'tis certain that he must go
northward and along this road.
And so the question is where to
stay him in his progress."
"I know this country, every inch
of it." says the third man. "Leave
it to me. Two miles ahead lies
Marshford common—there's no like
lier spot 'twixt here and York—as
desolate a waste it is as you could
wish."
Then they talked again, and the
end of it was that they backed their
horses into the coppice and waited
for his coming forth.
The man sat on the edge of the
table just as I had left him. "They
are without," I says, turning to
ward the fire. "They will wait your
going forth and then follow you to
Marshford common, where they
purpose to take you in the rear."
"Do they so?" says he. "But
come, master farmer, are we to be
outwitted by three crop eared
Roundheads"
'' 'Tis the king's dispatch,'' says I.
His eyes fixed themselves on mine,
and I saw the white teeth shut slow-
ly down on his lip.
"There is some plan in your
head," says he.
I sat down on the settle. He look
ed at me for a moment and then put
his hand within his doublet and
drew out a thin packet of paper. It
was tied about with a skein of blue
silk, and there was writing on each
side of the knot. His finger pointed
to a word in the corner. "Come,'
says he, "your plan, farmer," and
he put back the packet.
"I am not without horses," says
I. I glanced him up and down. "We
are much of a build," I says. "If I
were on one horse and in your uni
form and you were on another in
my clothes," I says, "and if I took
the road across the common, and
you followed one that I can tell you
of— Do you see what I mean?'
says I.
"By heaven!" says he. "And if we
come through with it the king shall
reward you fittingly. But 'tis more
like to end in your death," he says,
and shakes his head.
"I'll take my chance of that,"
says I. "Come, is it settled between
us?"
"Are you a married man?" says
he. "Have you wife and children?"
"Neither the one nor the other,"
says I.
"A mother, then?" says he.
"In the churchyard, two miles
away,'' says I.
He nodded and once more looked
me up and down, ending with a
long stare into my face.
"I take your offer, friend," says
he and held out his hand. "My
name is Eustace Blunt."
"Mine is Stephen Mann," says I,
with my hand in his.
"No better man in England,"
says ke, with a laugh at his own
It^' Come, I am in your hafid,
Stephen. What do we do first?"
"First I shall set out, leading my
horse across the paddock to the
front gate, thence to ride along the
highroad. Give me a good ten min
utes' start ere you set forth your-
self. When your time is up, follow
the highroad for half a mile and
then turn to your right. You will
find yourself in a grass lane. You
will follow it for a good three miles
ere you come to a signpost, but
when you come to that you are on
the straight road to York again
And so farewell," says I.
Before I had ridden a quarter of a
mile along the road I heard the
steady pounding of their horses'
feet behind me. I turned in the sad-
dle and looked back. They came
over a slight rise in the road, riding
abreast. There was that in the
steadiness of their pace that gave
me a notion of their resolution in
the matter.
I might have been half way be-
tween the end of the lane where
Blunt was to turn off, according to
my directions, and the first stretch
of the common, when a sudden
thought caused me to clap my hand
to the pocket of my coat. The sur-
prise that came to me as my fingers
closed on the dispatch that should
have been in Blunt's care and not
in mine made me pull up the horse.
There I was in possession of his
majesty's dispatch, a thing of the
strictest importance, and behind
me rode three Roundhead troopers
that were anxious enough to lay
fingers on it. As for Blunt, that
should have had it in keeping, he
was by that time riding into the
narrow lane'a mile in the rear.
The common suddenly widened
out before me. I saw Dick Pritt's
granary roof shine white in the
moonlight, for all that we were a
good mile and a half from it.
The three of them, still riding
close together, were within 200
yards of me. The moonlight struck
the polished steel of their breast
pieces.
There were four square miles of
common, and 'twas as tricky a bit
of land as a man might find in a
day's march. There was a ditch
here and a marsh there and both
well hidden by the long, rank grass
that grew thick all over the place.
A man that did not know the lay of
the ground and rode his horse across
it with a loose rein was more likely
to come to grief than not. Nay, if
he came within measurable distance
of Butter Bum hole, he was likely
to leave horse, saddle and bridle in
its black depths and think himself
lucky if he escaped with his life.
Ere I had ridden 20 yards into the
rank grass the three men gave a
sudden shout and dashed across the
common to intercept me. I could
have laughed with glee. They had
not gone a dozen strides ere the
foremost horse went knee deep in a
ditch and flung its rider over its
head. I was in the hope the horse
had broken a leg, poor beast, but in
a trice the trooper had picked him-
self up and remounted.
Butter Bum hole was in front. I
must rid myself of one if not two of
them in its black depths. If all
three would but ride into it and

sink 50 fathoms deep, there would
be less need for all the bother that
I foresaw ere his majesty's dispatch-
es left my hands.
When I had suffered them to come
within 30 yards of me, the moon
suddenly disappeared behind a bank
of clouds. But she suddenly peeped
out through a little rift, and on the
instant I heard a sharp report and
caught the whistle of a bullet as it
flew past my head.
I went on slowly, holding my
horse back and at the same time
calling loudly on his to hasten.
There was not a yard between
them as they came to the hole, and
each rode at a rattling pace. You
would have thought they were
clearing the whole thing, but the
man on the left seemed suddenly to
drop to the earth, and over him roll-
ed the fellow in the middle. The
man on the right, following the
path that I had taken, pulled up his
beast with a jerk that threw it on
its haunches, and I saw him turn to
gaze at the men and horses rolling
and wallowing in the mud.
Farewell, my masters," said I
and laughed long and loud as I can-
tered off. But I was reckoning a bit
too soon, for he sent another bullet
after ine that took off my hat.
Looking oyer my shoulder, I saw
that the man who had escaped th
marsh was following me
mination
the situa
to follow my plans, so in
we wound, over a ditch
through a cluster of gorze bushes
there, and he made no such foolish
mistake as to try to cut me off or
to take a shorter route, but held on
at my heels.
The horse tucked his big thighs
under him and tossed his head
Faith, I believe he loved the spirit
of the thing as dearly as his rider,
And so we went straight across
what bit of common there was, and,
skimming Dick Pritt's new fence
like a swallow, landed in the lush
grass of the home garth.
There were yet three meadows be
tween me and the signpost, and it
was good going over all of them.
The air rushed around my hatless
head; the stars seemed to dance all
across the heavens; the hedgerows
shot up in front like ghosts, but we
were over and through them and
settled into our stride again before
I had time to count one.
I saw the signpost—a black, two
armed thing—outlined against the
sky at the corner of the last field
We were close on the hedgerow
then, and as I settled down for the
leap I heard Blunt's horse clattering
up the narrow lane to my right.
The moon sailed out of the cloud
bank. We started at each other.
Ah!" said he, "the troopers'
Two of 'em in Butter Bum hole,"
says I. "The third"
But the third must have ridden a
rare horse, for at that instant he
dropped over the hedge with a
force that made the ground shake.
We had drawn rein in the middle of
the highroad, and he caught sight
of us and came forward. But within
dozen paces his beast swayed and
fell, tumbling him off into the dust
In spite of all his Roundheadedness
he rapped out a roaring curse.
blotting paper.
And Something About the Obsolete Sand
Boxes and Sand.
In England they use a thin blot-
ting paper; here we use mainly a
thick blotter. Such thin blotting pa-
per as is used here is chiefly for
blotting leaves in books. Here we
use on a desk a sheet of blotting pa-
per 19 by 24 inches, the standard
size, which may be turned over
when one side is pretty well filled
with ink. In England the thin blot-
ting paper is folded, a number of
sheets together, making a sort of
pad, something larger than legal cap
paper, and when a leaf gets saturat-
ed with ink it is torn off.
Blotting paper is not new, but it
was first made in this country only
about 40 years ago. Before that time
we used some of the thin English
blotting paper, imported, but more
commonly, to prevent ink from blot-
ting, we used sand, which was pour-
ed upon the written sheet out of a
sand box. The sand box was a com-
mon article of desk furniture, as the
wafer box was at one time, and al-
most as commonly seen as the ink-
stand. It was made sometimes of
tin, sometimes of wood. It was per-
haps 3 inches in height and maybe
2% inches across tlie top, where its
diameter was greatest. It was some-
thing like a pepper box in the man-
ner of its use, but as to shape, in-
stead of having a convex top, it had
a concave top, like a little saucer.
The bottom of this saucer was per-
forated. The box was filled with
sand through these perforations.
When the box was used, sand was
poured from it upon the writing. A
little of the sand adhered to the fresh
ink and kept it from blotting. Very
much the greater part of the sand
poured out lay scattered upon the
paper. Lifting the book or paper,
the surplus sand was poured back
into the box.
Many of the wooden sand boxes
were handsomely turned articles.
The sand used was a peculiar, fine
black sand of uniform grain, brought
from Lake George, in this state.
At the time of the civil war in this
country blotting paper had come
into comparatively common use. It
is only within 15 or 20 years, how-
ever, that it has come into the wide
and very nearly general use of the
present time. Now the sales of it in-
crease with the population or more
rapidly. There are American paper
mills devoted wholly to the manu-
facture of blotting paper, and their
products amount to thousands of
tons annually, and American blot-
ting paper is now an article of ex-
port. We still import a little English
blotting paper, but only a very lit-
tle, not enough to cut any figure in
the market.
The very best blotting paper is
made wholly of cotton rags. Some
poorer grades are made partly of
wood pulp, and with it may be some
clay. Such papers, as they dry out,
become still less absorbent. The ad-

'Twas the rarest adventure," I
says. "I wouldn't ha' missed it for
the world."
"Why, faith," says he, "you make
me envious. The lane was tame
enough, a mere matter of straight
ahead work."
He said naught of the dispatch.
But at the corner of Dead Man's
copse I drew rein and held out my
hand. "I'll go home," said I. "You
have no further need of me. We will
exchange horses and clothes as you
return."
"Let me keep my thanks till
then," says he, giving me his hand.
"Tomorrow or the next day we shall
meet again, Master Stephen."
But ere he broke into a canter I
pulled him up and wheeled about
again.
"Ha!" says I. "I had almost for-
gotten to give you the dispatch,"
and I handed it over. 'The dis-
patch?" said he. "The dispatch?
But surely"—
"So you did not know that I had
it?' says I. "Faith, but it lay very
near my heart," and without more
ado I turned about and cantered off,
leaving him there in the moonlight,
staring open mouthed at the packet
in his hand.—Pearson's Weekly.

There still comes now and then
to the wholesale stationery dealer
in New York a call for Lake George
sand, showing that there are yet
some users of the old time sand box,
but these calls are now so rare that
they are no longer supplied, and the
sand boxes have long since ceased
to be a part of the wholesale sta-
tioner's stock. These, however, may
still be found at some retail dealers,
a few left over from years ago, and
occasionally one of these is sold. A
city stationer sold one only the oth-
er day, but it was not to be actually
used as a sand box; it was to finish
out the equipment of an old fash-
ioned desk.—New York Sun.

The Crow and the Golfers.
A crow which haunts the Mid-Sur-
rey links at Richmond is a bit of a
humorist. He has played such
pranks with the golfers' balls that
the subject has been discussed by
the committee. He appears to hover
in attendance on players who use
nice, new, white balls. "Remades,"
or balls that have been played with
before, and on which the paint has
chipped, receive none of his embar-
rassing attentions.
Recently two players were ap-
proaching one of the holes, one play-
er using a new ball, the other a ball
that had been played with before.
On walking toward their balls the
players were astonished to see the
crow alight near them, examine first
one ball and then the other, even-
tually rejecting the older ball and
flying away with the new one in his
beak. The crow took the ball over
into some marshy ground beyond
the boundary of the links, where the
caddie in hot pursuit could not fol-
low him. The bird dropped the ball
for an instant, looked sideways with
a merry twinkle in his eye, as much
as to say, "Don't you wish you may
get it?" picked the ball up again,
and, with offensive assurance, flew
back over the heads of the players
to his haunt in Kew gardens.—Lon-
don Golf.
