only that which is behind them. The noise
is like that of a cyclone bearing the ruins

cowboys ride with the herd. when the
pace elates they will turn the advance to
the right or left and double it back.

silence was unbroken except by the noise of
our own carriage. To this was soon added
o
the rasping vetof Heawke who broke the
silence to mark.
"Pretty lonely road this."
" Very, I answered.
"Pity they don't. clear that bush," he
continued.
" Surprising," I replied. "They probably
have their reasons."
" Yes, I guess they have," he coneinued.
There was silence again for a few minutes,
and then he said.
" Would you mind holding the reins,
friend ?"
"Certainly not," I replied and took them
in my hand. He placed his liberated arm
carelessly overthebegk of the seat and sat
whistling softly to himself. The road now
became rougher and. the bush more dense. It
was a work of no small difficulty to guide the
stumbling horse along the narrove way and I
began to repent that I had undertaken the
task. Holding the reins with both hands,
however, I fixecltrny attention on the horse
a,pd sneceedecl in keeping him going a good
page and on the middle of theroad.
Suddenly I became aware that my corn-
penion was becoming very affectionate. ' As
I said before, on relinquishing the reins' he,
had thrown his erni carelessly over the back
shoulder and now he suddenly placed it
round my back so ea to clasp both my Demo
tightly to my side, end before 1 could
struggle to free myself from his grasp he
slipped a noose of rope own my bead with
his other hand and bound my amine tightly
and inunovably to my sides.
• Dropping the reins I turned round in
amaeement and at I did so he oiled to the
horse to stop and leaping ligliely from the
buOgy dragged me down with him,and thro w -
me violeutly on the rough. road, knelt on
my chest and quickly tied the rope into a
herd knot, and then after a short struggle
succeeded in twisting another rope about
my feet and tied them tightly together.
As he was a much more powerful man
than myself and as I had been stunned by
my heavy fall on the road, I was unable to
offer any strong resistence to his efforts and
in a few moments he had lying bound
hand and foot helpless at the side of the
road. He then proceeded to tie a handker-
chief across my mouth in such a manner as
to prevent me from uttering any articulate
sound, and heving done this he quieltly pro-
ceeded to rummage my pockets. He got my
purse containing about twenty dollars in
bilk and silver, but did not seem satisfied
with this. He took also all the papers,
letters, and documents he could discover
and placed them very carefully en his
pockets. Ho then dragged me to the aide
of the road and placing nee on the grass in
a small hollow, behind some bushes, he re-
turned to the carriage and leaping lightly
in drove off with a merry " Bye -by, friend,"
as he went.
I listened with feelings which may be
better imagined than described to the sound
ot the departing wheels as they grew fainter
and fainter in the distance. A fierce anger
and indignation filled my breast at the
thought of this consummate villaiuy on the
part of a man whom I had so completely
trusted.
But anger was evidently melees now. My
one thought should be to derive a means to
escape front my bonds. I strive eagerly
and fierceiy to burst the ropes that tiectme,
but it was useless, and after several Mete
fectual struggles I stopped exhausted with
my efforte. My only hope seemed to be in
ettracting the attention of same passer-by.

A eouple of pioneers are shifting to better

been hauled many a weary mile, and the
journey is not yet ended. The wives are
uneomplaining, the children happy. The
night is mild and warm, the Indians are at
peace, and as the dusk grows deeper the
stars appear until there seems to be no
room for another. By and by the men rise
up and move among the grazing horses to
see if their hobbles are seeure ; women and
children retire to the wagons with many a

Social Sellishless0.
A. witty and miserly gentleman who ac-
cepted many invitations without returning
them, but who contributed greatly to the
general entertainment by his bright conver-
sation, once defended himself by saying :
"My friends give the dinners, but I -fur-
nish the salt."
If he was parsimonious in the matter of
dinners, he was generous with his best
thoughts, his most cheerful and entertaining
stories, fulfilling one social duty although he
neglected another.
This social duty of giving in cenversation
one's brightest and best, oi making en effort
to be interesting, and being cheerful when
it is not possible to be brilliant, is often self-
ishly neglected.
Life is an affair of mutual obligations; we
have to thank most of our friends for kind-
ness and. patience and encouragement, and
we owe it to them to remember that often,
unknown to us, they are in need of being
made to forget solne trouble or grief, or are
in need of so e fresh, cheering thought,
and when WO give them our conversational
best, we are doing what we can to supply
that need.
Many persons who would not think of
going anywhere with a bandaged head or a
disegreeable cold or a disturbing cough,
carry a gloomy face, a fit of the blues, or
an ill-tempered mood, on, a, visit or to a
party, without thinking that there ie no ex-
cuse at all for their being a skeleton at the
feast. They disturb their hosts and host-
esses by making it evident that they are
not having a good time, and they have a
depreseing effect on every one else.
Those who have a bright conversational
gift should use it generously, • bearing in
Wild how effectually it counteraets depres-
sion, differences, lapses of tact, and other
drawbacks to enjoyment.
