A kindly hand leads Heath away from the closing scene, in pity for the awful situation of the dying wan, in pity for the hopeless grief and self reproach of the living. The above happened more than .lel years agoi. And although Heath has supported and educated the family which were left unprovided fur by the death of Maloney. and has dune every- thing in his power to make amends for the lose he bad caused them. he himself nen never forget the dreadful scene and at time. such an outburst as the follow- ing occurred: ..... •'Duster—doc—tor," Heath calls from his lied in a querulous and excited voice. ••doctor' Ab nurse—here you'll do.

Then with a sudden movewent, catching her hand and sitting up in his bed, he cries '• Why, look : There he stands pawing the mosquito net. He'll tear it into a thousand rags, nurse, and knock poor Daley' s brains out. I say, make haste. He's climbing up the blank wall now— the brutes afraid—at last. Hi! don't you see him ? Let me go '" as the nurse forces him firmly back upon his pillows. "Oh, nurse," sighing reproachfully, while his eyes avoid her and remain fixed while he speaks with great rapid- ity, and the words flow as in a recita- tion: "Look ! He stands still now, his neck stretched out, the pink of his nostrils showing and distended by fear his eyes shine and glow like coals in the fierce s'inlight, the swelling vein= tell how quick his hot blood throbs. look at his ears listening, listening for the voice that will never sound again, at his quivering lip that shall never know again the touch of that rider's hand, for it lies there upon the gram so cold and still.

" Ha, ha Ha, ha That von. doctor ? I shot Maloney—shot him dead—couldn t help —pistol went off—accident !" speaking in a flippant way.

I see him lying on the grass. while the red blood from the wound stains his white uniform. With a wider margin as it flows I hear the sound of its quick regu Lr dropping upon the ground where it collects there dark and still, and above I hear Maloney cursing me!" He paused for a few seconds and went on argu- mentatively, while the doctor had turn- ed away to take his hypodermic syringe out of its case. "All right ten minutes ago—hard as nails—and sitting his horse like a rock. And now—dying—and by my hand!" He took his right hand in his left, and looked at it for a few minutes in silence. •'What say. doctor letting it fall again "Accident? No—no—no—no'" he shouted.

One morning, in the early southern spring time of August. when the air was heavy with the scent of mimosa bloc soma, a company of white -uniformed mounted troopers were going through the various maneuvers necessary for drill The ground they used for this pur pose was a flat on one of the outlying lands of an Australian town—a steep hill swelled abruptly on one side of it; on the other, and at some distance from the exercise ground, the crumbling banks of a river fell sheer to its bed, where through the waste of rough shingle and debris the fast narrowing stream flowed, that carried the last of the win- ter's rainfall to the sea. The troopers were doing their re- volver drill. which is to ride in rapid succession past the saluting point, and to lire at a target that was placed up- on the hillside, in the instant of past- ing Their skill in this practice was such that at least some part of the target was hit in each action of firing Their well-trained gray horstteefir voted and pranced. se they were reined in after the target was passed, as though they rejoiced in their smart and well kept trappings, while the bright bits and curb chains caught the son's rays and flashed vibration* of light again Suddenly, above the noise of the gal loping horses. the air is rent by a shriek, and the man who rode next before the last is Miti to throw up his arms on the instant of the last report, then to lean forwarl heavily upon his horse's should- er, and to slip from thence helplessly out of hie saddle to the ground All this has taieen place before the trooper who followed him can realise that his last shot carried wide, or what indeed has happened. The exercise is stopped while the troopers hurry to the fallen man, whom whit•' charger, through fear sped still for a little distance. stands now looking toward. his late rider—with neck atre.•had high and head turned ingnisi tively the delicately veined ears pricked anxioasty forward. while his twat rib are wide and mart with ter ror. for his rider flee over there es the green and is dying.

His master paid him a visit before bedtime, and tried to comfort him. How he begged to go into the cabin with the only one he knew in that dreadful place! But that was against the rules. He cried all night, and the sailors and steer- age passengers complained that they could nut sleep. In toe morning the captain ordered Bruce to be loosed, and called to hint to come up on the ealuondeck. Bruce gave two bound. up the steep ladder, and then was at his master's fids. He soon made friends, with the cabin passengers, and they were quite willing to bare hint stay with them. It was very funny to see Brice stand by the ladder up which he had recently come, and watch the steerage passengers on the lower deck. —Sunshine. assail flatter.

Wade to • Pew Hour., The illustration shows a simple and nes- fne wall cabinet that can be made by any boy. It should be made about thirty inches long. twenty inches high and seven or eight inches deep, and below the bottom shelf the ends of the sides should project about five inches Make the two sides first twenty five inches long and eight inches wide. With • complies saw out out the bracket effect at the bottom of each side, and then make two shelves twenty eight inches lung and eight inches wide. With these two shelves wsLm. cast)IIT and the sides form the framework of the cabinet, and fasten it together with long steel wire nails or slim screws. Next make an upright division piens. as shown in the illustration, and fasten it at top and bottom a distance of Nix or eight iocmee in from one end; make another shelf and fasteu it a little above the centre, between the top and bottom shelf, making one end fast to the upright division and tie other to one side of the cabinet, as the drawing shows. Get from a carpenter a Vire ofane oa lee molding about two inches Lie ng enough to go around the front and sides of the cabinet ; mitre and fasten it around the top, and with the addition of a few coats of paint the cabinet is completed. A curtain across the front, arran god with rings so it will slide on a rod, will add greatly to the appearance. A Vial With a Eastern. No matter what animals, or grompaof animals. are studied, it will always be found that their leading physical traits are exactly adapted to their habits and condi- tions. A striking illustration of this fact is afforded by the torch fish. This is a deep sea fish, that carries on its nose something like a short, thin bone, which it can illuminate with a phosphoresces( light, or extinguish at pleasure. It doge not use this lantern to guide it on its way 8. P. Bairn, of Towanda, Pa., whose constitution was completely broken down, is cured by Ayer's Sarsaparilla- He writes: " For eight years, I was, most of the time, a great sufferer from constlpa. tion, kidney trouble, and Indiges- tion, so that my constitution seemed to be completely broken down. I was induced to try Aye's Sarsaparilla, and took nearly seven bottles, with such excellent remelts that my stomach, bowels, and kidneys are In perfect Con- dition, and, in all their functions, as regular as clock -work. At the time I began taking AyMs Sarsaparilla, my weight was only 129 pounds; I now can brag of l!W pounds, and was never In so good health.
