it, could not be conceived. The stops.
passed down the deelivlty which-enrromnd.
ed tho abyss, andwefollowed them with.
n sinking feeling in our hearts, as 00
raallzod that this was the end of our
sea.rell.. A little way from the downward
path was the return trail made by the
feet of those who had come back from
the chasm's edge. Our oyes fall upon
Mese track at the Game moment, and
we eaoh gave a cry of horror, and stood
gazing ooechlesely at them, .For there,
in those blurred foatmar]co, the whole
drama was revealed. Five had gone
down, but only three lied returned.
None shall ever know the details of that
strange tragedy, There was no marks of
struggle or sigu of all attempt at oeca1e.
We knelt at the edge of the Bole and
endeavored to pierce the unfathomable
gloom which shrouded it. A faint, sickly
'exhalation seemed to rise from its depths,.
and there was a distant berrying, • clat-
tering sound ae of waters in the bowels
df the earth. A great stone lay embedded
in the mud,' and this I hurled over, but
we never beard thud or splash to show
that it bad roaohed the bottom As we
hung aver the noisome' chasm a sound
did at lest' rise to our oars out of its
murky depths. High, clear, and throbbing,
it .tinkled for an instant outofthe abyss,
to be succeeded by the same deadly still-
nees which had preceded 1t. I do not wish
to appear to be superstitious, or to euf
down to.extraordinary. .eausee-that, which
may have a natural explanation. That
ono keen note may have been some
strange water sound produced far down
in the bowels of the earth. It may have
been that or it may have been that sin -
later bell of which I had hoard so muo11.
Be this as it may, it was theonly sign
-that rose to ue fromthe last terrible rest-
ing -place of tho two who had paid the
debt which had'solong -been owing.
Wo joined our vetoes in a call with the
unreasoning obetinaoy with which man
will cling to hope, but no answer came
.bank to us save a thousand hollow rever-
beratioss-from the depths beneath. Foot-
sore and heartsick, we retraced our steps
and climbed the slimy slop,° once more,
"What shall we do, Meedaunt?" I asked,.
in a subdued. voice, "We can' but pray
that their souls may rest 1st peace.'
Young Heatheretono looked at ane with
flashing eyes. 'llhie may be all according
to 01.31111 laws," he cried, "but we eball
see what the laws of England have ta say
upon it. I suppose a chola may be hang-
ed as well as any other man. It may
not b0,.too late yet' to run them down.
Here, good dog, good dog here!" He
pnllod tho hound overand set it on the
track of. the three: men. The .creature
sniffed at it once or twice, and then,
(nIling upon hie stomach, with bristling.
hair and protruding tongue, it ]ay ehiver-
fug and trembling, a very edibodiment of
canine terror,
"You see," I said, "it is no. 'Ilse C011.
tending against those whohave powers
at their command which we cannot even
give a name to. There is nothing for it
but to accept the inevitable, and to hope
that these poor men may meet with some
componeation • in another world for all
that they have suffered in. this." '
"And be free from . all devilish .religions
and their murderous .worshippers!" Mor
daunt cried furiously.
Justice compelled metoacknowledge in
my own heart that the murderous spirit
bud been sot on foot by the 011ristian
before it was taken up by. the Buddhists,
but I foraboro to remark upon it for fear
of irritating my. companion. For a long
time :I could not draw hien away from
the seen° of his father's death, but at.
last,' by repeated argumentsand reason-
ings. I succeeded in making him rennet
how useless and unprofitable any further
effort° on our part- must necessarily
prove, and In inducing him to return with
me to Oloomber, . Ohl the wearisome, ted -

when we bad some slight flicker of hope,
or at least of expectation, before us, tut
now that our worst fears were fulfilled it
appeased interminable. We »belned 11» our
peasant guideatthe outekires of the.
mareb, and haying restored hie dog we.
let him find his 0011 way home, without
Melling him anything of the results of our
expedition. We ourselves plodded all day
over the moors with heavy feet and heat,
tar hearts until we saw the 111-omened
tower ofOloomber, and 01 last, as the
sun was setting, found ourselves ono
more' beneath its roof.
Thera is no need for me to enter into
further details, or to describe the grief
which our tidings conveyed to mother and
to daughter. Their Mug expectation of
some calamity was not sufficient to pre-
pare them for the terrible. reality. For
weeks my poor' Gabriel hovered between
life and death, and though she "canto
round at laet, thauks to the nursing of
sister and the .professional skill of
Dr. John. Easterling, of Strem ter, she has
never 10 01110 day entirely recovered her
former vigor,: Mordauut, too, euffored
much for genre time, and it was only
after our removal to and
that he
rallied from the shock which he had un-
dergone. As to poor Mrs. Hcatherstone,
neither medical attention nor change of
nil+ can °vee have a pormauent effect
upon her. Slowly and surely, but very
placidly, she has declined in health and
strength, until it ie evident that in a .very
few weeksat the most she will have re-
joined her husband and restored to him
the ono thing which. he must have grud-
god'to leave behind.
The Laird of Brauksome cam° home
from Italy restored iuhealth, with the
result that wo wore compelled to return
ono° more to ,edinburgh. The change was
agreeable to ue, for recent, events hed omit
a cloue! over 'our country life and had
surrounded us with unpleasant associa-
tions. Besides,a highly honorable and
remunerative appointmout (u connection
with the University library had become
vacant, and had, through the kindness
of the late Sir Alexander. Grant, been
offered to my father, who, as may be
imagined, lost no time in accepting so
congenial a post, In this way we came
back to Edinburgh very much more urn•
portant people than w0 1pft it, and with
no further reason to be uneasy about the

(THE END.).
NOT TO BE SNUBBED.•
Saluted His Fashionable Friend
While Coming From Work.
Circumstances forced James Keith
tQ leave school and earn his living
before he was sixteen years old.
Like many another boy, he had no
bent toward any' particular trade,
and so took the first job that offer-
ed. That happened to be with, a
tinsmith ; and he . became an ex-
pert workman. He was pretty well
satisfied' with his job and with the
money he made tut it, and he saw no
reason why he should think any the
less of himself because the useful
work he did obliged him to soil his
hands and sometimes his face.
One evening as Keith, begrimed
with dust and root, the result of a
day's hard work on a hot'roof, was
going home, he, met Mrs, Landon,
an old friend of the family. Mrs,
London had always liked Jim; for
she honestly admired his cheerful
spirit, his sturdy character, and his
affectionate devotion to his widow-
ed mother.
This afternoon, however, +'tie had
been calling upon some of 1'•t'r fash-
ionable acquaintances who lived not
far from Keith's home, and had un-
fortunately absorbed a little of the
spirit that prevailed among them.
It may be that Jim was a little
dirtier than usual; perhaps Mrs.
Landon feared that her new friends
would nob .understand if they
should eco her speaking to• this
sooty young workman, At any rate,
as he approached, she tried' to
avoid his eye.
But time felt /himself quite as
worthy of respect in his working
clothes as in his Sunday suit. Nor
had he any intention of passing an
old friend of the family without
greeting her, And so as he passed
Mrs. Landon he took off :his hat,
and said, •'good-naturedly,: "Good
evening, Mrs. London! It's' the
salve old Jim under All this dirt!"

STRANGE CLUBS,
Tito Most Infamous and. Fauhous
Pound in LODdOS.
Po'i'haps one o
clubs now in existence is the 131aelf
13can' Chili in London. The mem-
bership of this select community ie
strictly !united to 40 persons, eaoh
member paying an entrance 'fes' of
£10 and an annual subscription of.
£!0.
The, club assembles sonce a year,
and at 1111000 annual meetings a bag
is passed around containing 30
white beans and one black bean.
The member who draws the black
bean is beund by the rules to get
married during the ensuing "twelve
months, the coin,mfttce undertaking
to furnish a house for hire and to
defray the expenses of his wedding
and a honeymoon. Before the
meeting is cl"issolved, each of the re-
maining 39 members has solemnly
to swear that be will remain single
until the date agreed upon for the
next lottery.
And then, again, there is the
Sighing Club, an institution found-
ed solely for the benefit of love
swains. Silence is strictly enjoined
at all meetings, and the members
who silt in solemn conclave, each
holding a piece of ribbon, a leek of
hair, or some possession of his be-
loved, aro required to sigh at least
five., times .within a quarter of an.
hour under penalty of a fine.
Suicide clubs have been compara-
tively common. The Man Killing
Club, however, was a London insti-
tution somewhat out of the ordi-
nary, membership being confined t,
persons who had slain opponents at
duels. On guest nights a separate
table was reserved for visitors, who
had to- be friends of members and
to have drawn, at any rate once,
an adversary's. blood.
But of all the curious clubs of
bygone times perhaps the most
famous, or rather infamous, was
the Abduction Club. This was
started in 1776 by a number of
young Irish bloods, who banded
together to arrartge for themselves
forced marriages with wealthy heir -

Each is cut from the crown to the
base with a sharp knife in such a
way that the central shoot is ex-
posed, but not injured. The two
larger portions of the bulbs are.
then tied together, the cut portions
facing one another. The double
bulb is then potted in the usual
way; If aid has gone well, a single
stem comes up, while the flower
may he blue on one side and pink
on the other, according to the cob
ors of the bulbs. The result is
highly mystifying to gardeners who
are not in the know. The experi-
ment is often carried out by the
Dutch growers, and rarely fails, if
carefully executed.

Another celebrated club that was
started, but did not last, was also
in London, where the : members
were to meet once in three months
solely for the'purpose of dining

dinner began with •.cigars, coffee
and liquors, and finished up with
sherry and oysters. One such re-'

quite sufficient for a111 the members,

The Best Breed of hogs,
The question is often asked,
"What is the best breed of hogs?"":
In answering this it may he Raid
there ia,ee one breed of !logs that
is best for every farmer. That
which is best for one may not be
best for another. In a general way,
the best bog fa the one the farmer
likes, provided it is what his mar -
fret demands. Should his market
want'a hog o1 the bacon type, then
0000 cr other of the breeds o1' that
type would be boss in his ease, On
the other hand, should the meet
marketable be a ill;t, or lard hog
then the best anima'1 for him to
raise would bo one or other of the
lard types. This is a matter which
the farmer will have to decide for
himself, writes W. H. Dalrymple.
After the farmer has decided up-
on the breed which he 'believes to
be the most profitable for him to ,
raise, .however, he should then
stick to that breed and endeavor to
develop it toitsmost perfect con-
dition. The most famous individual
hogs and the most famous herds of
animals have been built up, devel-
oped and perfected only by sticking
to the breed and getting the most -
out of it,
Take the "razorback," for in-
stanco. Some writer has said that
this breed of hogs "has no place in
modern agriculture." If we con- .
eider the razorback from the view-
point of a breed. only, we fully
agree with the . writer just quoted,
but even this hog is susceptible to
much improvement through an in-
telligent system of grading by the
use of males of improved breeding,
and especially of the Iarger kinds,"
on the best of native females.
In some parts of the extreme
south the' woods are full of razor-
backs, and the problem there is
how to get ridofthem and at the.
same time make the most out of
them. Tile first step should be the
conversion of all native male pigs
into barrows. The second should be
the selection of the best of the
young native sows for breeding pur-
poses. The third should be the
purchase and use of pure-bred
males of whichever breed and type
the owner prefers. In a few gen-
erations of judicious selection and
grading . these hogs would be
brought up to a class that would be
profitable.. This seems to be the
most intelligent and rational way
of getting rid of. the hog which is
said to `have no place in modern
agriculture,
A hog which is gaining in popu-
larity is'the 'Hampshire, or thin-
rind hog. This breed Is sometimes
classed as a medium between the
lard hog and the bacon hog, al-
though it is generally considered as
belonging to the former. It, is a
good grazer and the quality of the
meat is"very superior. Originally
this hog came from Hampshire,
England.

Milk for Hogs.
Sweet milk, skim milk, sour sk
milk and buttermilk are of 21ract-
calve -ectal value when fed''in the
proportion; td,9,12.te-.hate pounds
of milk to one pound of shelled"—
corn. A bushel of shelled_ corn
when fed with water produced ,an
average of 11.9 pounds of pork, bus
when fed with 153 pounds of milk
the .average weight of pork pro-
duced in the same length of time
was 17,7 pounds. While this is no
indication of the value of milk when
fed alone, it seems to show that
when fed with shelled torn, 153
pounds of skim mutt of little .or no
market value on the average farm,
produced 5.8 pounds of pork worth
about 40 cents at last year's pried!.
In many factories the secret of
success has been found in the dis-
covery and application of some
method of turning former waste
into a profitable by-product. The
same principles can well lie applied
to the farm, and farmers Have been
slow in making this use of any
extra milk.
Care of lltc Colt.'
It frequently happens during the
.hottest weather of the summer the •
colt's navel will become inflamed.
Colts ranging from a few days to
'three or mare months old are sus-
ceptible to the trouble. A variety
of things may be the cause. Clean-
liness of the quarters, however, is .
one of the best preventives. A. mix-
ture of one ounce 0f sulphate of
zinc and a• quart or water Well mix -
•ed and sufficient applied to the
affected part threes times each day
will usually bring relief.
