Ruth sat thinking over the dootor's
words. It was so sad to feel that nothing
could be done, except just a few little trif-
ling things, until there was some sign of
returning consciousness. Her thoughts
went on to that afterward, and she shrank
away with dismay from the thought of her
father's future. It was plain they eould
not remain at Appledore, for thoug,h Ruth
fancied she might be able to manage with
the help of the men who had so long been
at work on it, she now knew that there was
no money. She felt, indeed, that they were
in debt perhaps beyond het power to
repay what was sewing. Who were her
father's creditors? she wondered. She
flushed at the certainty she felt that
one of them was Mr. Clifford. As she
recalled her talk with her father she shrank
from consulting this true friend; lest he
should attribute her confidence M him to a
warmer .feeling. She shivered as the
thought returned that her decided refusal
to encourage Clifford's hopes had helped in
causing her father's seizure. "I .could not

Anything to Oblige the Tigress.
"Savage, beasts, even in their native

uurrastakable signs," remarked Thomas
Maynard, an old sea Captain.
"A number of years ago the ship which 1

of India and, taking a boatload of men,
went ashOre in search of fresh water. In
some way 1 became separated from the crew,
and, in wanderingteround, was a good deal

beast did not make any hostile demonstra-

and then at a tree a short distance away.
For a time I could not understand this con-
duct, and, not daring to run for fear she
would at mice overtake me, I stood reoted
to the spot
"Preeently the tigress arose and walked
to the tree, looking backward as'she went.
On turning my gaze aloft, I saw among
the branches of the tree what had caused
the evident solicitation of the tigress.
There, perched in one of the limbs,sat a big
baboon with two little tiger cults in its
arms. Having an axe with me, I atarteci to
cut the tree down, the tigress watching me
intently all the while. When the tree fell,
and the three animals with it, the tigress,
pounced upon the baboon and with great
fiery despatched it. After gently caressing
her offspring, she turned to me with a look
which plainly expressed her thanks for the
service I had -rendered her. She then dis-
appeared in the forest, her two Cubs trot-
