To the tide as to a sympathetic friend, he wished to corn. mit himself, mid be borne of to the depths forevers llie looked up. A dense cloud was moving toward the moon. Under its shadow, when passing, be would leap. A moment only remained, Ile button- ed hie coat, and placed one - foot on the chair ready to mount the railing, .Ile could scarcely hear the sea; which now sounded faintly and far away. The north wind was not cold 'to him, His nerves were wrought so intensely as to. seem dead. Ile felt nothing but his heart, which beat loudly,,as if tolling the soul away. The cloud. approached. Its forked edges were touching the rim of the moon "Ha, ha, ha! Yes, bring me some champagne! 11411°a—who's this? S . the holy powers, John Dean! And ail alone as usual." Never within his memory had John Dean suffered such distressing bodily agony as during the reaetion of the fol- lowing moment when so many concen- trated forces began to scatter again. Ile discovered that the shock `titch takes us from life to sudden death is scarcely keener than that which, from the verge of death, briuga one back to life. Dean reeogineed the intruder as Ar. thur Petty, one of the most daringg and prosperous operatersof Californiaseet, He was a handsome blonde whose gay good nature knew the secret of creating everywhere a welcome for himself. A great contrast to the lawyer, and hard to dismiss. Nevertheless, Dean's pain forced him to answer; "And, es always, I wish to be alone, If ,you are gener ons you will leave me,' "y dear Dean," laid Petty, "t am too ubilant to leave anybody -1 who to -day cave made $50,000 by the rise in Bengal.

Such thoughts as now filled' his mind were new to flim. Every- thing around began to appear strange. The moon was like the cold facie of a Judge; the murmuring sea sounded only like a dirge. lie was astonished at the calmness that came over him. Regret and perturbation were gone. The fu- ture gave him no fear. lie took from his pocketa blank piece of paper and wrote: I, John Doan, being of sound and Mam- ba mind, herebygi�jve and bepee tli to Mary zi #her ee, formerly of New -York And now her, and shows up some old love affair of San Franelwco, all. my Property, real, Per.

"This is a poor proceeding for a law- yer like me: said he "yet it will show to Mary Althorpe that John Dean's heart was loyal to her." Then he folded the paper and put It in a leathern envelope. The tide was low, he hurried hoping to pass the narrow path which leads to Seal Rock; but on coming near he found that the flood bad set in and a strong wind from the north was turning the =narrow channel into a seeming mael- strom, Then he thought of the Cliff Rock. In the cafe, however, and on the long balcony there were music and dancing.Ile turned again, strolling along thwet sands over which the sea was fast encroaching. On coming back to the cliff he noticed that the noise had ceased, and the veuicies were starting away with their merry freights. He walked up the cut leading to the house, which was still brilliantly lighted. There seemed to be no guests, however, and the waiters were napping at the never loved; I needed to be careful tables, their heads resting ontheir arms. since I knew that I could never love He stepped lightly through the rooms twice. I was 30, and to that period had and sat down In a shaded corner of the known much.suffering. When the spring is long and frosty the summer blooms are brief. Moreover, I cared more about loving than about being loved. I wish- ed to pay eternal homage to my queen. For myself I was indifferent to wealth and afraid of fame. But to make my wife rich, to cover her with what fame I might earn, as T covered her with' my heart love—. This was my dream. Have you ever read Mrs. Browning's 'Loved Once?'" Petty nodded his "yes." "Well, that is the truth. Love has a thousand counterfeits, and we are east - 1y deceived. But when you have loved, you can never unlove. It is the only immortal thing. Hate may wear itself out revenge may be accomplished, but Loveis immorme The universe began and will end in love. This is the last ,fire which will consume all lesser pas- sions itself burning on forever. Par- don this disgression, but you will better understand my conduct when you know my convictions. I loved this girl. Some months after our engagement—and oh, what happy months they werel—I ad- vised her to "o for a brief stay at Long Branch. A few days afterward I went to see her. The steamer seemed to crawl; from the Battery to Sandy Hook it was like crossing the Atlantic, so eager was I to reach her. From the Hook to the pier it was almost unen- durable. I was the first to leap the gang plank, and hurrying to the hotel to make myself presentable, I then went to her villa. It was now dusk. She was wait- ing'for me, and threw her arms about my neck.Thi.s embrace from her who rep- resented all human love and goodness May his happiness always equal his fame!" Dean could not resist a smile. Ile drank the champagne like water, ow- ing to his nervous condition, it relieved him, but could not intoxicate. MeantimePetty's tongue ran glibly MA,"I expect soma menus tura as o'clock for.asupper. Stay with us, Dean, it will do you good—. I was at .Mox- on's to -night, but that pleasant affair was broken up quite early byy the faint- ing of a charming vocalist who was car- ried off, deliriously calling 'John! Johnl' Her emotional song was too much for look of his eyes. lie hesitated a mo- ment, then— "Petty," said he solemnly, "I carry a ' sorrow to -night which is heavier than the world. If :I do not talk with some one it will kill me." Petty offered his !land, which Dean grasped. Then Petty said: I comprehend. You , may tell me everything. I will be your priest to- night." He moved nearer to Dean, who spoke low. "It is five years sincel left New York, a voluntary exile. I had been for some time a lawyer, and life was opening well before me. You have been in New .York of course? You know Pine street, near Broadway? Well, my office was there. I became intimate with a young lady of 18 who had just lost hermother. Fier sweat affection for the dead, com- bined with her courageous views of life, strongly attracted me. Soon I said, 'This is she of whom I have always foretold that some day, I knew not when or how, I should meet her.' I had balcon , which runs along the edge o the cliff and commands a view of the Seal Rock, towering high from the sea, one-eighth of a mile away. But he found he was not alone. He had dis- turbed two lovers at an adjoining table. They frowned upon him for a moment, then renewed their whispering. A sleepy waiter appeared. Dean call- ed.for an envelope, placed something inside wrotethe address of Paul 'Mox- on by the, light of the moon, and told the waiter to mail it throwing him a gold coin for his trouble. "No, I want nothing else," said he, and the waiter disappeared. As the lovers continued their whis- perings Dean turned his chair to the ratline- Some barques gliding out from the Golden Gate under full sail seemed. „•to him like spirits passing into the un- known. Light clouds hurrying across the blue sky suggested similar fancies. As to the rest—the tide meeting the wind, throwing' the waves against each other with a loud shock acid making walls of spray; the noise wand commo- tion; the ebbings and eddyings; the an- gry n gry rush to the clefts of the rocks op- posite, with sobbings and moanings made more dismal by the tolling of "buoy -bells and the constant roar of the the seals—though it had on other occa- sions filled John Dean with profound melancholy, he found nothing awful in it.now. Ile heard this din of the waters less plainly than the secret voice with- in him of unrequited love. This grief and tumult of the ocean was joy com- pared to his calm desolation. "All that is a matter of course," said he. Then, rising; he dried out. delfir ,3s „_']oy. *o'ldhav l ivgo my Gc: foryioer, as .a a c, s,t g; u the 'i er- an, tm .,d <<•lkedc a, ;our,Txt t e wedding day, when a gay, butterfly of a fellow peeped out with two ladies. }?erfdliYig l flt'iiite dross of Mary,tor that \arae her name, be called tint to her some words which meant that he had. been alone with her at a late hour the night before, and .would; wait ter e/ that night also‘ : He sald,t000 shah she had his ring. Ile spoke familiarly, wholly gnoring me, It is useless to speak, ofmy shock; language uage would fail me; I was possessed 'by a thousand devils. Yet her plausibility, her lie up- on lie, her sudden spasm, of pretended lave overcame me. Then, succeeding so well, she did a perilous thing—she challenged ma on the only point of proof, the ring. I had given her a pearl ring, with her initials inside the rim. Sliding the ring from her finger, she suggested that I should strike a light and: see f,r myself how the young man had lied. Of course, she hoped I would not. But I did so. The ring was an amethyst, with strange initials.. 411 was plain. I caught. her guilty look, then the light went out. I Uun away the ring and rushed off, The horrors of hell were about me.

John Dean, it was .1 who exchanged the rin sl" For a moment Dean glared at Petty like a tiger, then sprang upon him throwing Petty from his seat and half across the railings. Petty was a more powerful man than Dean, but just now Dean had the strength of madness. Fol- lowing up his movement he lifted Petty from his feet and would have tumbled him into the depths below had not Ar- thur clutched Dean's coat, exclaiming: "I deserve it; and, yet, I told you—" By one of those revulsions not uncom- mon to madmen when a flash illumin- ates the dark mind, Dean pulled Petty back, grew gentle and offered both hands, saying: "Yes you told me. Forgive me, Petty; forgive me! Why should I be violent when you have saved my life and now give me back my happiness? Have patience with me; my brain was turning. In truth I am forever grate- ful to you. Then there is Mary Al- thorpe—you have saved her too. Where is she? What shall I do?" Dean was now in Petty's power, for he bowed and trembled like a willow in the wind. , But Petty, bravely ignoring Dean's fit of frenzy, said; "Go to her at once. She is at Paul Moxon's. And—here, take your talisman, this pearl ring. Do you recognize it?" Dean seized and kissed the ring, which seemed more than a talisman— it was his fetish. "Petty," he exclaimed, "you were in- discreet, but now you are behaving grandly.' "Tell me that another time, Dean. You havenot a moment to lose. It is past midnight; and 1*oe must settle this affair before you sheep. -Let me go with you and first tell my story. " "N'o—no; I will go alone." "Come, then," said' Petty, seizing Dean's arm and leading him to the front. "Here are my fast trotters' at your service. Jump in. Now, be and good luck to you." The next moment Dean was flying , over the road at a breakneck pace. Be-' lated drivers thought it was a runaway and gave him a clear track. Within 20 minutes the foaming horses stopped in front of Paul Moxon's. The rooms were still lighted and the doors wide open. Dean rang the bell violently and turned into the deserted parlors. Mrs. Moxon herself hurried down , An American woman ass secured a stairs, and approaching Dean, said: 1 patent for an ash sifter,' :ins now all I am so glad you have come, doctor. that is wanted is a patent con lr vance She is feverish but quite conscious at to mike a servant _irl use it. present.", o is conscious, madam?" flat is—Mary Altherpe!" ut what—I don't •I am' not the doctor, madam, Still, there is no time to explain.

The reverse is apt to he the case with the reader of Daudet, or other of the skillful French writers of to -day. Their charm is the thing first felt; the delight- ful conviction that we have to do with .311 artist ' ha takes himself and his creative work most seriously, and who will treat us to no slouched, rough- cast, half -completed work. Only after continued perusal of these accomplish- ed writers does the sense of something wanting jtzake itself felt. Admirable as they are, highly as we enjoy them, we nate the absence of a. certain inn- pression of reality; there has not been enough of vital sympathy in the author with the humanity he would depict to create an illusion to the reader, who feels little or no warmth of personal in- Wrest in the characters, but is rather occupied mostly in pleased approola- tio.0 of the Author's cleverness of con- struction and charm of narrative and descriptive style. The result of Tlrol- lope's intellectual activity is finite lis- proportionate to the effort itself. If the time spent on twenty novels had been giveu to the perfecting of four, the four would have been worth to us five times as much as the twenty. No wonder the man could write to order as he did, cutting off his manuscript in foot or yard lengths, aeoarding to the requirements of publishers# Does the outcome of Daudet's minute and scru- pulous labor justify the theory of liter- ary art which guides him?

Colston, late of the Egyptian General, Staff, says in the September Century, apropos of the dif- ficulties opposing 'the Rescue of Gen- eral Gordon": "The Arabs divide their deserts into two kinds. Tho first is called el jebei or el berrye, meaning mountain or wilderness. in this kind of deserts there is always more or less. vegetation, .always very scanty; but yet it is there that the Bedouins roam and raise their flocks and camels. Ga- zelles and other game are alsofound. The desert between Berber and Su- akim is chiefly of this kind. Tho other kind is called the atmoor, and it is im- possible to imagine anything more bar- ren and desolate. It is literally noth- ing but sand and rocks. Not a bush, not a blade of grass ever grew there, and consequently no animal life, not even insects. They aro like oceans which you cross on your 'desert ships' but there is death to tarry. The ost- rich and hyena cross them swiftly by night. These atmoors are generally from eight to ten days across, with one groupe of wells in the middle. Such is the atmoor of Shigre, which I crossed in nine days, and that of ltorosko in. seven (two days less than the usual time . "Only one group of wells is found half way, which is called mourn—bit- ter. None but camels and Bedouins can drink its water. Travelers always carry enough Nile water to last them across. It is the only desert where no guide is needed, for the track is per- fectly marked by the skeletons of cam- els and cattle, which, as I counted them, average sixty to the mile on the best parts of the trail, and four hun- dred on the worst. Thousands of cam- els and oxen perish there yearly. The latter are driven from the Upper Nile,. scantily watered once in forty-eight hours on the march, and a large pro- portion of them die on the way. The hyenas and vultures, which are the on- ly n ly denizens of the atmoor, pick their bones clean before the next morning, d the fierce sun heat dries the hides bones, so that the stench of carrion er taints the desert air."

It is easily worked; it may be used green, just as it comes from the mill; it does not warp in drying, nor shrink or swell by exposure to the weather; it burns slowly, and when on fire is easily ex- tinguishea, because thg wood contains no resin; it is brittle ' and breaks off squarely, so that in case -of fire the fire- men have no difficulty in cutting leek. way from house to house, and it does not rot in the ground like most other woods, and;•fence posts which have stood for thirty years are as sound to- day as when they were planted.
