STORY FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.
Orom Golden Dajs
A SINGULAR MSAPFKAKAXCJ3.
BY EDWARD S ELLIS.
A strange occurrence took place
in the northern part ol Ohio, a num
ber of years ago.
It was in the autumn of the year,
on a cool, pleasant afternoon, that
the pupils of a country school were
given a fittoen-minutes recees by
the teacher, and the thirty-odd boys
and girls improved the time in the
usual enthusiastic fashion of j oung
sters of their age.
The number of boys at school
that day was seventeen, ranging
from eight to fifteen years of age.
The giil, in accordance with the
rule, confined themselves to the
clearing immediately surrounding
the school Luilding, while the boys
were given free range, the only con
diiion being that they should obey
promptly the call of the cracked
bell, at the expiration of the quarter
of an hour.
Among the urchins who ran shout
ing and leaping into the cool woods,
on that memorable alternoon, was
Percy Hunger, who was only ten
years old, and who was the hero of
one of the most singular experiences
that has ever como to a boy cf his
age.
lie was an unusually acute lad,
and was considered the brightest
fellow of bin years in school. lie
had two brothers and a sister amoig
the pupils all older than he.
The woods which were entered so
joyously by the boys were no more
than an acre in extent, and, but for
the dense undergrowth, would not
have availed them much as a hid
ing place.
But it was the favodte play
ground ol the boy, all of whom
were rollicking and tumbling and
shouting within it, as soon as they
could dash across the dusty road
Lorn the Fchool building.
A minute later, a game of "hide-and-seek,"
or "hide and-whoop," as
it is often called, was started.
A dozen of the boys scattered
through the wood, and devoted
themselves to finding the best hid
ing places, while the other five stood
with their faces against the trees,
and their bands over their oyes,
each one engaged in counting a
hundred.
They went over the numbers
rather incoherently and very fast, il
being understood that, as soon as
they reached thaeven hundred, they
were at liberty to whirl about and
hunt the others.
Thus it will be Been, the dozen
who were striving to keep out of
their way had no time to loiter in
doing so.
The lads crouched wherever an
opportunity presented itself, and
then each lutively peeped out at toe
boy who groped nearest to his place,
ready le leap up and run a race
"home" with him. as soon as the
discovery was announced.
When the woods had been pretty
thoroughly scoured and a change
was made in the "inning? ' as they
mav be called, it was learned that
little Percy Munger was still in hid
ing: No one bad seen him, nor
could any one tell where to look for
him.
There was no alarm felt, but it
was concluded that he bad been
bright enough to find some extra
good place to hide, and he was wait
ing for the boys to continue their
hunt.
A thorough search was made
when the second change took place,
but not a glimpse of the missing boy
could be gained.
By this time the interest.becatne
so general that all the others aban
doned the regular game and devoted
themselves to looking for the little
fellow.
Sixteen boys, with eVes and ears
open, can make a complete exami-
nation of an aore.ot woodland in a
brief while, and never was more
thorough work done than on the
occasion of which lam now speak-
i n c.
it did seem as if a rabbit could
not have concealed itself from the
searching scrutiny of those bright
eyes which peered everywhere.
Tho undergrowth was parted,
fallen trees carefully examined to
make sure he was not crouching
close to some one of them, and every
snot looked into.
It occurred to many that Percy
might have climbed one of the trees
and hidden among the branches,
but there was absolutely not one in
the eutiie'patch of wood where such
a thing was possible.
The branching limbs and sparse
vegetation prevented any one from
screening himself from a person
standing on tne gruuuu, "
.. .i. . I I I
could he no oouoi tuai, wuerevei
the missing boy hi d gone, it was
not in the top of any tree.
It was expected by all that, when
tbe beil rang, tferoy woma come oui
from bis hiding place and thus mane
known hit secret. Accoidingly tne
searchers scattered themselves pret-
ty well through the wood, with eyes
and ears open, awaiting nis appear
ance. -
But the bell sounded and tbe boys
waited as long as they dared, but
no Percy Munger showed himself.
Tt was then that something use
alarm began to be felt by the others
who acauaintcd tho teacher with the
singular disappearance of their play
mate.
The teacher was a bind-nearted
mar, and when he heard tho story
he said that there could be no more
school until Percy was found.
He was euch a bright and consci
entious boy that it could scarcely be
believed that he was purposely ab-
senting himself. It must be that
something serious bad befallen him.
The entire school, including in
structor, boys and girls, now engag
ed in the hunt with the deepest ins
terest.
One of the brothers of Percy ran
home to acquaint his parents with
what had taken tlace. aud Mr.
Munger, reinforced by a number of
tbe neighbors, was soon on the
scene, doing his utmost to uuravel
the mystery.
There were several facts which
added to the perplexity. In the
first place, there was no stream of
water anywhere near the wood into
which the boy could have fallen and
drowned. The nearest bodv of wa
ter was Lake Erie, which was cer
tainly three fourths of a mile away.
And, still further, although a wild
beast was occasionally met with in
the larger forests, none bad been
seen or heard of in that imme
diate neighborhood for fully a dozen
years.
It would seem, therefore, that the
disappearance of the bo? was with
out any explanation at all.
But in such an extraordinary case
every one engaged in the search is
sure to be busy in theorizing at the
same time, and there was one con
clusion which was prettv generally
reached that somebody had stolen
the little fellow.
One of the girls had reported that
she had Been two men, resembling
tramps, banging around the woods
during the afternoon recess, and
another declared she had noticed a
slrango naan leadiog a boy by the
hand, and the same boy looked very
much like Percy Munger. Still an
other little girl had been chased by
one ol the men, and only escaped by
running and screaming at the top of
ber voice.
There was found yet another, who
had been actually seized, as 6he af
firmed but she picked up a stone
atid struck the abductor over the
head, so that be was glad to let her
This amazing story led to an in
vestigalion, which proved that there
was not a word of truth in the ac
counts of any of the little girls, all
of whom were doubtless swayed by
their vivid imaginations and the
natural desire to say something that
would relieve the pareuts of the lad.
It is hardly fair to euppose they
really understood the wholesale
manner in which they were fabri
cating. ,
There was more than one circum
stance which seemed to render it
impossible that Percy Munger cduld
have been carried away by tramps.
and yet the distracted friends aud
neighbors could invent no other
theory.
Night came at last, and the patch
of woods had been ransacked over
and over again, without finding the
least trace of the boy.
Every one was at a complete
standstill, and finally the parents
went to their homes, but with no
power to gain a wink of sleep.
At daylight the wnoie neighDor-
hood were at it again, for the news
had spread, and all know how gens
eral the interest and sympathy in
such a matter speedily becomes.
Boys, girls, men and women were
tramping over the country, some on
horseback, but most on foot. Hunt
ing dogs were pressed into the ser
vice, but aB the latter could scarcely
know what they were hunting for,
they rendered very little assistance.
Not the faintest clue to the mys
tery turned up, but about the mid
dle of the afternoon a gun was fired
from an adjoining wood. .As this
was the signal agreed upon, there
followed a general flocking thither
by the excited parents and friends
The discovery that- had oeen
made was an odd one. Iwo vaga
bond Indians were found asleep
under a tree, with a smouldering
campnre near them: and a
and a number
0f chicken bones scattered over the
ground showed that they had,been
regaling themselves on s.oien iooa,
after the manner of the civilized
3 . ... .
tramp of the present day.
Tbe instant conclusion of all was
that these vagabonds were the ab
ductors, wbo, in some way or otn-er,
had made away with Percy. A lu
rious clamor immediately arose, and
the amazed Indians were in serious
danger ol lynching for some mm
utes.
Violence, indeed would have been
nfTured them, but for tbe fact that
evey one was anxious they should
be compelled to reveal toeir secret
hRfore retribution should be visited
uDon their heads.
The lrowey. ragged, unuuy
. . . j i
lows were unable to understand for
some time what all the fierce bulla-
balloo meant. They were strong,
muscular aborigines, with straight
black hair, black eyes t nd coppery

complexion or tueir race, auu
were lull-Dloooea jnuiauB,
wbo had slrayed into the State from
some of the western territories.
. Thev stood looking stolidly at the
i excited multitude swarming arouna
i them an(j growing larger and more
i Hmnntrati ve everv minute; but
I , iast ODe of them wbo understood
English gained some idea of what
wa8 meant.
A boy was missing, and these half
frantic people neneve tne Aoaiaus
had something to do with bi9 di9
appearance. They insisted on being
told all about it.
But. as was really the fact,the
red men had never been neat the
gchoolhouse and had never seen tbe
miasinff bov. Thev shook their
C? - v m
hesdiD. and said:
"Know nottiDgs know nottings.
But this was not the answer wauted,
and the clamor became fierce than
ever. Tbe Indians stood grinning
and shakiDg their heads and mui
tering the broken words, while the
I
excitement rapidly reached the dans
gerous point. ..
At this critical juncture the father
of the lost boy showed more sense
than all the others together.
"friends, be called, waving his
hand for them to hold their peace,
"it may be these fellows are guilty
of making away with my son, but
I have very strong doubts of it so
strong that I need more proof be
fore I shall consent thev shall be
harmed. But they look like inteU
ligent Indians, and they know more
about the ways of the wood Ahan
we do. 1 propose that we take
them over to the schoolhouse, ex
plain just what took place yteter-
day, and ask them to help search
for Percy."
The proposition was agreed to on
the instant, and the multitude
swarmed to the spot named.
On the way, Mr. Munger kept
close to tne older Indian, and by
talking and gesticulating continual
ly, he managed to acquaint him with
the whole particulars before the little
piece of woods was reached. The
Indian nodded his head and kept
saying, " x es, yea," occasionally ask-
ng a question, until he signified he
wished to hear no more.
He now made the request that he
and bis companion should be allowed
to go into the woods without their
movements being hampered by the
others.
Some suspected that this was a
ruse to get away ; but consent was
given, tbe people scattering in such
a manner that the Indians were prac
tically surrounded, while every
step tbey took could be watched,
and it is unnecesary to say that
nothing escaped the excited parents
and spectators.-
lhe red men first examined the
ground carefully, but this had been
tramped over so many times by the
searchers for the lad, that it was im
possible to gain any information
there.
Then they looked upward at the
branches, circling about like a
couple of bee hunters. At the end
of a half hour they suddenly paused
in front of a large "red oak, as it is
called in that section.
Here the Indians examined the
bark, talked together in low tone0,
listenod intently, and then , all at
once the elder sprang into a small
sapling, which he climbed as min-
bly as if be were a monkey, until he
reached a branch of the oak, when I
he transferred himself to the larger
tree,
Up this he went some distance,!
when he reached a point where n
immense limb put oat a limb which
in its relation to the tree itself was
something like the Missouri River,
when it classed as a tributary of the
Mississippi.
The pe-ple were watchiog his
movements with an intensity of in
terest which cannot be described.
He was seen to pause at the point
of junction and lean down, with his
face close to the bark.
Then his hands moved, as though
be was busy in doingsomeihing, and
then
A boy being Percy Munger
suddenly appeared beside him and
called out.
"Oh, but I'd like something to
eat and drink I Am t 1 hungry
though?"
For a time everything was con
tusion worse coiilounded. it seems
scarcely possible, but there was the
missing boy, alive and wen.
When thetruth became known, it
was curious enough. irercy nad
climbed into tne tree jusi as tne In
i. . . . "...IT
dian did, and seeing the hole in the
oak, it occured to him that it offered
a capital hiding place,
It was so dark tfiat when he peer
ed into the depths, he thought it
could not be very deep.
II-i cautiously let himself down,
holdiusr on to the edges by bis
hands, and, when be found he could
not touch bottom with bis feet he
began to clamor out again,
Ha had gotten his bead above tbe
surface, when the rotten portion
gave way, and he dropped down ful
!y ten feet.
He was then nearly' choked by
tbe dry masses of spongy wood
which had been broken off in bis da
cent, and which tumbled in a cioua
. .... B 1 1
around him : but he instantly set
up a vigorous shouting, which he
hoDed would acquaint hie irienas
with his situation.
He was not heard, though it stems
strange that his muffled voice should
not have reached soma one ot tbe
many searchers for him; but the rot
ten wood was a poor conductor of
sound, and there was a great deal of
it tumbled about bim clean to me
shoulders.
Still when the matter came to be
understood, there were found more
than one boy and man who had de-
I tuau vui
ciarod be had hoard faint
sounds
as if made by some one deep to tus
round.
Percy shouted until worn out, and
then fell asleep. This must have
been at the time when his parents
and neighbors were prosecuting the
search so near him.
Oo the morrow while the bunt
gravitated in other direction tnr
boy set seriously to work to try and
get out.
With his knile he cut down the
sides of the wood, so as to sustain
him until he could reach tbe open
ing above.
He bad tried it several times, but
the support gave way so often that
be saw it was useless.
He worked steadily, resting and
sleeping when he could, and suffer
ing greatly from hnnger and thirst
and was gradually, approaching tbe
hole above his head, when it wa-
suddenly darkened, and looking np,
he saw that he had been discovered
by a man who was peering down at
him.
At that time Percy bad reached a
point so high that when the Indian
thrust his hand downward, it was
siezed and the boy drawn out, ap
earing in the bright daylight on
e out side, winking and blinking
e out side, winking
like an owl, an i covered with frag-
ments of decayed wood, but exceed'
ingly glad to meet his friends once
more
After that the two wandering In
dians were treated like heroes giv
en plenty of clothing and food. A
liberal reward was placed in their
poseesion by the grateful father of
Percy Munger.

"Ladies and Gentlemen: The Re-'

the population of the country aud
with the industries ot the country.
(Applause.) And that unless tbe

dollar rises in value all the time.
Now, when a dollar rises in value, it

Sanat r Sherman who stands at
the head and front as the recognized
leader of the Republican party, and
all that portion of the Djmoaratic
party which is trying to electa
Republican tor Presicent, used these
words in a speech wb.ca be made
in behalf of the Sherman bill on the
5th day of June, 189J: 'If our
present currency,' said Senator
Sherman, 'is estimated at one billion
four hundred miHior' dollars, and
our population ; iiiCicasing at the
rate ot 50 per cent, per annum it
would reaaire forty-two
milnon
j d0UaxS circulation each year to keep
j Dat!e w;tn the increase, and as tbe
increase of population is continued
at a still greater rate than the in
crease of wealth in business, it was
thought that an immediate increase
of circulation might be obtained by
the larger purchase ot silver bullion
to an amount sufficient o make
good and retire all bank bills and
keep pace with the growth of pops
ulatioo. Assuming the nfty-four
million dollars a year of additional
circulation isneeded upon this banis
that amount is provided for in the
. .
bill by tbo issue of Treasury notes
in exchange for bullion at the mar,
ket price.'

pealing the Sherman law and leav
ing nothing to take its place.
"Instead of having fifty four mil
lion dollars of new money each year
we have been decreasing in our cir
culation for the last two years. I
have here a govern publication, is
sued on the first of July, 1896, and
this gives a table showing tbe de
crease of tbe money in circulation
among the people. According to
this we had in circulation in this
country on the thirtieth day of June
1894, '$1,660,000,000; on the 30thf
day of June a year afterward, in
1896, it had fallen to 81,001,000,000
a fall of fifty nine million of dollars
in circulation in one year, whereas
Senator Sherman said it ought to
increase fifty four millions in that
time, so if you will take the actual
cfefi jit and add to that tbe amount
we ought to have had, you will find
an actual deficit of over one hun
dred millions of dollars in circula
tion in one year. By the 30th, of
June, 1896, this year, that had falls
en from one billion six hundred
and one million, to one billion five
hundred and six millions, a fall of
ninety. five millions of dollars in the
amount of money in actuil circula
tion among the people in a single
year. Yoo add to that the fifty four
million dollars we ought to have
had as an increase and there was a
deficit in one year , more than one
hundred and fifty millions 'of doU
lars. In two years there has been
a decrease in the amount of money
in circulation of two hundred and
fifty million dollars, according to
the testimony of John Sherman on
ly six years ago. Mow, my friends
these are not vain immigin&lions,
these statements are not the vapor
ings of lunatics and cranks. (Ap
plause.) TheeB are the statements
made upon the testimony of
one of our opponents, so short a
tima ago that even they themselves
have forgotten that the truths thoy
stated are still alive. (Applause.)
"What provision does the Repib
lican party make for tbe supply of
the money that you need? None
whatever. I am not surprised that
even men who have been Republi
cans all their lives are now In favor
of the free coinage of silver. (Great
applause.) I am not surprised
when I find that Rspublicans wbo
recognize tbe principle of finance
and apply to tbe money question, I
am not surprised that they desert
tbe Republican party this year when
it comes out and attempts to defend
the Dmocratic administration which
was repudiated y the Deraocratie
party itself. (Great applane.) You
remember here in North Carolina
the republicans nave made more
cibiul by denouncing this admins
istrauoniDin in any oiner way.
What do you think now when the
Republicans of North Carolina be
come thesponsers for the Democrat

I am not surprised that tbe earnest
and sincere Republicans prefer to
stand with the Democratic party
in demanding bimetallism which
even the Republican party of four
years ago mid was dt-ar to the
American people through tradition.

"Let me briefly, because I have
but a moment more, call your atten
tion to what Ilenry Gay said in re-
gard to protecting tbe volume of
money ii this country. I have been
told that Hanry Clay was tbe only
presidential candidate wbo bad ever
come here during a canvass prior
to my 'coming. Lot me tell you
what be said, in regard to the con
traction of currency. This peecb
was made in the United States Sen-,
ate on the 20th day of January,
1840: 'Of all the conditions of socie
ty, that is most adverse in which
there is a constant and rapid
diminution in tbe amount of the
circulating medium. Debtors become
unable to pay their debts.' And
have you bad buch a condition dur
ing your lifetime my friends? (Cries
of "yes, yes.'') 'Property falls.' We
haye had that condition also. 'The
market is glutted And yet a great
party with a glutted market before
them demand the opening of the
factories when there i nothing for
the factories to do after you open
them, up friends. (Applause.) 'The
market is glutted, business declines
and labor is thrown out of employs
ment. Sellers become enormous
from tbe production of their props
erty which is now falling in prica
and purchasers become tctroe from
an unwillingness to make invest
ments with tbe prospects of almost
certain Iosb.'
"When money is rising people
want to turn everything into aollare
and during that lime we mast have
stagnation of business. Falling
prices make hard times and you can
not stop bard times until you stop
the general fall of price?.
'Have gentlemen r. fleeted upon
the consequences of , the system of
depletion? That question, my friends
might be put to the Kepublican par
ty. Mr. Clay adds: 'I have already
stated that the country is going
down by tbe weight of dtbt. If the
currency be greatly diminished as
beyond all example that has been,
how is this debt to be extinguished?
Property, the resource oo which
tue debtor relied for his payment,
will decline in value and it may
happen that a man wbo honestly
contracted a debt in tbe fce of pro
perty which had a value at tbe time
sufficient to warrant the debt will
find himself stripped of his property
and his debt remains unextinguish
ed. .
"Mr. Ciay sijiply described tbe
yery conditions which- confront tbe
American people to-day, and yet
the Republican party not only re
fusfH to recognize that condition
and bring relief from that condition,
but tbe Republican party pledges
itself to a policy which increase tbe
financial distress ot this, country,
makes debts harder to pay and
summons tbe sheriff to take charge

then leaves tbe debt unextinguished
