John CaeUe’s Story.
NO. 3.
We returned to the camp and as good
luck would have It there was a phy-
sician In the number of the emigrants
who was engaged In selling the i-roken
arm of the young woman who had
saved my life She bo e the pain brave-
ly and ex reased unbountled delight HI
having ■ fiecte'l ber escape from “a den
of robbers and murderers” as she
phrased It. Just as the sun begun to
rise we sat down to a plentiful andsub-
stantial breakfast —and while it was be-
ing dispatched it was agreed that four
of Ihe emigrants should go back with
me to search the house and that the rest
of the party hbould remain In camp till
we returned.
The emigrants were from Culpepper
county Va . anti bad ngr- nd to travel to-
gether lor the. sake of oompMiy amt mu
iuhl a—tHtance There were 30 whiles—-
twelve men among them—in the party
and about forty five negro s aves.
The four emigrants mid myrelf each
armed with a rifle and a brace of pis-
tols. hl timed to the house where 1 bad
come so near to being robbed and mur-
dered on the previous night but no per
-on whs to be found In it—the inmates
had evidently Hiitlelpated our visit and
had sought safety in fl ght. In tbe room
bi neath the one I bud occupied there
were large pots of blood on ihe floor to
attest that my shot had none execution.
Every room corner and cupboard was
searched Underneath one of the rooms
was a iieep hole which upon our lower-
ing h cm be Into It whs seen to contain
a pile ot tinman hones—which clearly
were the hones of Ilie persons that bad
been murdered and robbed It was a
gbasily ami sickening sight ami none o'
my party cared to d-scend into this
glissili bole.
In tbe garret of the bouse con-
cealed behind some boards we
found Iwo gold watches —six silver
watches and a lot ot gold rings and one
or two breastpins. Mr. Winter o e of
tbe emigrants after minutely examining
oi e of tne gold watches declared that It
had belonged to bis oldest brother who
had removed from Culpepper county
fittecti years beiore with his family but
bad never reached Nasnville where he
bnd set out to go nor eier been heard of
again. His wife and only child adaugh-
ter.three years old mid a negro man and
liis wife were with him. Mr. Winter
hI-o identified one of the breastpins and
two of the gold rings as having tie
longed to his brother’s wife—lndeed he
showed us the Iniiials of Iter name—M.
F W. engraved on both of tbe rings.
We determined to apply the tomb to
the hou-e and burn it to ihe ground
and soun had the satisfaction of seeing
it wrapped in a sheet of flames. Upon
our return to the camp tbe emigrants
with one accord insisted upon my
traveling in company with them and
their invitation win readily accepted
f'be girl who had saved my life had
already sought and gained permission
to travel with them out to Mississippi
whilherthey were bound.
Mr Winter observed her closely for
some time and Ht length inquired her
name. "Maggie is my tiHme" she an-
swered. "And are you the child of the
people who lived in the bouse that we
committed to the flames?” asked Mr.
Winter.
"No sir those people said my parents
wen- dead; that they took sick and died
in th Ir house when I was quite small;
they were very unkind lo lue at times
and. recently they threatened to kill
me unless I married tbe son of the
farmer who was a mere brute.
"Great God. how wonderful are thy
ways” exclaimed Mr Winter “Maggie
your fatner was my oldest brother so
that you are my own niece. Your pa-
rents I fear were murdered and robbed
by the faruiiy that you I veil with S'nC"
I discovered your father’s watch at<d
your mother's jewelry hid in that bouse.
I shall care for you in future my dear
child.”
Maggie threw herself into her uncle's
arms and cried from excess of joy at
having discovered so near a relation as
an uncle ant) at having escaped from tbe
wicked and brutal family that had no
doutit murdered her parents (or tbe pur-
poHeof robbing ibem. The joy proved
to te 'ontagloUH as every person in
camp hastened to congratulate Mr.
Winter and Maggie.
I enquired of Maggie how she came to
have my lior-e ready for me. and how
she came to be at my door to guide me
fiom the bouse?
••I saw the man's wife pour laudanum
into your cup of coffee and I felt sure
that meant mischief to you I managed
to spill some of tbe coffee tn handing it
to you. but was so closely watched by
the man’s wife that I feared to empty
the effee from the cup. I retired to
bed. but I got up again meaning to get
you out of the house if possible ami tor
that purpose slipp d your horse out of
the stable a d tied him In tbat clump of
bushes. I was standing at your door
when you fired tbat shot ar the robber
and was about to call to you when you
fired. 1 was ignorant of the fact that
i our room could be entered by means ot
a trap door and was startled and dis-
concerted by your firing your pistol.
'That is all I know of the matter” an-
swered Maggie.
We fell into a conversation about the
singular train of circumstances by
means of which Maggie bad been re-
stored to the care and guardianship ot
her nearest relation and 1 had b en
saved from a bloody death. Had Im t
stopped at the house for a night’s lodg-
ing the very first link In the chain of
circumstances would have been want-
ing. But for Maggie's contriving to
spill some of the coffee out of tbe eup
whilst handing it to memy senses would
have been hi up id cd to such an extent as
to have made it ensy to murder me
whilst I slept and her meeting with her
uncle would never have taken place.
We all agreed that the circumstances
were so fitted and dove-tailed into one
another both as to time and place as to
show that the hand of providence had
brought them to pass
We traveled in company from Clinch
river In Tennessee to Columbus Miss
but nothing unusual happened to mar
the trip. Maggie's broken arm re-united
quickly and she was soon the g neral
favorite of the entire party. The change
In her circumstances seemed to have ad-
ded fresh loveliness to ber face and a
new light to ber eyes as well as new
d gnitv to her rustic manners. My
gmteful sense of tbe obligations which
I owed her for preserving my life.oaused
me to omit no opportunity of showing
my gratitude by every possible atten-
tion to the comfort of Maggie. Before
we reached Columbus Miss. Maggie
had become all In all to me and was
loved by me with all the ardor of my na-
ture. The succeeding chapter must tell
how my wooing sped. Tonky.

Public Schools.
Editor Liuht:
The legislature should honestly and
laborious y ei.deavor to increase the ef-
ficiency of the public schools by adding
to tbe available fund for their support
so that they can be kept open 10 months
In the J ear and by improving tbe work-
ing of the machinery of the pnbiic
school system. The appropriation of
$260000 for the specific purpose of pay-
ing tbe salaries of teachers.would doubt-
levs enable tbe pu lie Srhoolß to be kept
open >0 months In the year and this
sum might be appropriated to the coun-
ties having the smallest school fund.
There should be a county superin-
tendent in each coumy of tbe public
schools. The probate judge already has
his Hands full wl tiout tbe public schools
of bis county. Place the public schools
under the control ot a county superin-
tendent and he would likely fe- 1 an
a i bit lon to put them on the best possi-
ble f asis. This would be redound to tbe
benefit of the public school system as
well as ot the children attending them.
The county superintendents should be
elected for lour years ami should be
subject to b> removed for gross Incom-
petenct moral turpitude or dtrellctlon
of duty bv the state superintendent up-

A NEW RACE TRACK.
Which Will Very Probably be Located
North of Che Springs.
About a dozen gentlemen drove out to
about a quarter of h mile north of San
Pedro park yesterday afternoon to look
at a piece of ground owned jointly by
Major E. D. L Wii-kes and Mrs. K. A.
Stribling. Their purpose was to decide
whether it would make a suitable race
track for a permanent driving associa-
tion. All agreed favorably upon it and
:hink they can secure 30 acres each from
tbe two owners 60 acres being needed. If
this can be done a driving association
will at once be formed and arrange-
ments will ne made for a grand race
meeting with a mile track this spring. A
race course is a necessity in San Anto-
nio and our lovers of the lurf growing
tired of waiting for the Fair association
to materialize have the Light is glad to
any taken tbe matter lu their own bands.
One gentleman Col. C. Bain yesterday
said he would subscribe $lOOO towards
this track.
Small-Pox.
From a gentleman who arrived from
El Phso this morning the Light learns
that the small-pox is epidemic in Paso
del Norte opposite El Paso on the Mex-
ican side. A good many cases are also
In El Paso but the exact extent of tbe
disease is not known as the authorities
are keeping the matter a dark secret.
People are careful about crossing to tbe
Mexican side and he does not think the
disease will spread although no quar-
antine is established between tbe towns.
