Daniel nunter had inetructed hie wife to Write her sister-in-law to take up her abode in the palatean- the period of their own reaidenee thm. 11 had been a very de- lightful tasls for the merry girls to range from room to room, through the apace OUB suites of elegantly furnished cham- bers, and chose their owne apartments - and much chattering, changing, and. dis- puting ensued before they could be ex- actly suited. Every One admired Mrs. Hunter, but it was with a deep, hushed. enthusiasm of admiration, as of some being far remov- ed above their sphere of thought and sympathy. And, indeed, Augusta was too much absorbed in the deep joy of her domestic life to be familiar with her Social -circle. Her life was a worship of unolouded joy. But the centre of all the interest in that mansion was the infant, Maud. She seemed absolutely to. he the first and last, the prevailing thought of parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and servants. She was the heiress of her fa, ther and mother, of course, but she was also declared to be the heiress of a wealthy relative in England, who had re- cently sent out to the infant costly christening presents, and as gold or gold- en presents have a sort of cohesive at. traction about them, no sooner was little Maud's future English inheritance heard of than her fathei s • two elder bachelor brothers, John and Joseph luntce the wealthy hardware merchants of Balti- more, had made their will, leaving their immense property solely to Maud Perci- val,. only daughter of Daniel and Augus- ta Hurler. And so the little lady was destined to be probably the richest heir- ess in America. And what was strange, no jealousy was felt by her young un- married aunts and uncles -they seemed to think no offering too rich to be laid on the shrine of the little goddess, and only felt themselves the want of fortune in having none to bequeath to her. And the devotion shown to this child was not only worship, but superstitious idolatry. Even Daniel Hunter was not free from it. Inordinate affection for his only daughter 1ValS theone sole weak- ness 'of his mighty nature. His first visit in the morning andhis last at night was to her erib. No matter hew urgent and 'harassing the State business, or how pleasant and long -protracted the festive scene, he was never too weary with busi- ness or with pleasure to go and stand and gaze upon his sleeping ohild, until anxiety and weariness and time itself were forgotten in the fascinating spell. The fashionable season in town was over at last. The balls and concerts an forgotten, the theatres and ptiblie halls and "palatial" residences all closed, and the gay world dispersed to the mount- ains ansi the seaside and to fashionable watering places. Official business kept the governor late in the summer at the texcutive mansion, and Daniel Hunter kept his family there with him. An ex- cursion was, however, planned to allevi- ate the heat ansi tedium of the July days. This was a steamboat trip down the bay as far as Witch Island, and, a picnic natty there. The members of the governor's council, with their families, remained in town, and these formed a very pleasant select party of the right etamp for the occasion. The day appointed for the excursion was the 15th of July, and the stetetner chartered for the use of the party was the beautiful little Sea Mew.-, Every member of Daniel Hunter's numerous family connection, from grand -uncles to the infant, were to be of the party. There was but one child on board -little Maud Hunter --and dxcitedas all the wearied city party were with the pros- pect of the wild sea trip, the greatest in- terest was shown in her. She was tak- en from the arms of Stella, her pretty nurse, and passed from one to another of both _ladies and gentlemen'and: admired to excess. And, in truth, little Maud leaked very beautiful; and it seeesed no exaggeration at all to call he .0 Hale seraph. She seemed one without the Wings. While they were caressing the beauti- ful child, the steamboat cast loose from the wharf, turned, and took its course down the bay. The city gradually re- ceded, and the bay, or, rather, that arm of the bay,' miscalled 5 n River, widened before them, But few could leave the lovely child,to look upon the lovely scene. The boat was well out to eea in three hours' run -that is to say, by 9 o'clock -and by 10 ,o'clock they reached Witch Island, a wild, desolate, sandy iele of about a hundred acres, covered with coarse, reedy gra-es, end a grove of gi- gantic pine trees -hence sometimes call- ed Pine Island -it lay some thirty miles south of the mouth of S—n River, and withina roile.of the shore. The shore for many leagues up and down was sandy and desolate, ansi covered with a growth of pine trees, hence this section of the State was called the Pine Bar- rens. The shore and the isle *ere both uncultivated, uninhabited, and unfre- quented. They had never been the resort or .picnir kdt• excursion parties, And it was upon these accounts that the isle had been seiceted by our party, and it Was this set of circumstandes that lent to the excursion :something of the novel- ty and adventurous aspect of an explor- ing expedition. Everybody enjoyed the outing, and it Wee with regret that the trippers got aboard the gay little steamer and put off from the isle. Augusta remained in the cabin, engag- ed in a much more interesting occupation than that of gazing upon the fairest scene than ever nature spread out be- fore theeeye of man. She was seated in a low roeking eltair, nursing her child to, sleep, pressing the babe to her bosom', glass., tying on her bonnet, and Stella, who stood near lief, with a large lace shawl and an infant's cloak heeging over her arm. "We hese not taken Maud up yet," said Letty, "we did not wish to disturb the darling till the last moment," "It is time now, however; the steam- boat is at the wharf," said Augusta, and she opened the state -room door and, went in. But the window was open and the babe was genet Paralyzed by the sight, the mother stood -yet she did not believe the worst! She thought grasithnother, or one of the young aunties, had taken her up and thrown the window open for more light -only that open window above the wa- ter -it grave her such a shock: She hast- ened out, still trembling, and asked, in a faltering voice:. "Letty, why did you take the baby up without telling me? It has given me such a--" and tumost fainting, she leaned against the door. "Il I haven't taken the ohild up! Didn't I tell you just now I thought I wouldn't disturb her till the last mo- ment?" replied Letty, in surprise. "Somebody else has, then. Ohl I wish they would not do things withoui, let- ting me know, I am so nervous where my baby ie concerned. Mother! Harriet! Elizabeth! Where are you, girls? Bring Maud here directly, please!" exelaimed Augusta, hurrssing from the cabin to the deck. "What is the matter, Augusta? Good Heaven, Augusta! what has happened? You look so deadly pale and faint!" said Daniel Hunter, meeting her. "Nothings -nothing at all has happen- ed, only my excessive foolishness again. I want my child! Lucy! Lucy,'" Daniel Hunter frovrned. "You are realy getting to be a very absurd woman, Mrs. Hunter!" "Oh! I know it! I know itl but I want my baby!! Elizabeth! Lucy!" ex- claimed Augusta, hurrying past him. Old Mrs. Hunter and her daughters were standing on the forward deck, ready to go onshore, when Augusta rushed among them -and afraid to give verbal utterance to the f ears that her reasorti told her were absurd. while her every act and looke betrayed thesn, elle asked, In feinting tones: "Where is my child? Is she wrapped up well? Give her to me!" "What do you mean, Augusta? We have not go her! We left Letty end Sten la to take her up and dress her. They have got her. Why, what's the matter?" "Ohl my God!". cried Augusta, sink- ing down upon the deck. "Why, Augusta! Good Heavens, Aug- usta—" "Drowned! drowned! My child has fal- len out of the window into the water, and is drovrned!" cried Augusta, and fell upon her face with a shriek which those who loved her might well hope to be her last. CHAPTER IX. Loathing the sunight, cursing earth, and blaspheming Heaven, the wretched Norah had fled from the ,gallows, one aw- ful sight still glaring on her eyes, one awful sound still ringing in her eane -the vision of her son as he stood. upon the fatal drop -a living man enveloped in a shroud -and the instantaneous click of the spring, the fall of the trap and the rushing whirr of the falling body. fe was glaring on her sight, it was ring- ing in her ears, it was maddening her brain as she fled away. A pall of sin and misery and death seemed to lovver dark and stifing over the city. With her hand pressed upon her ears and eyes, as if th shut out eight and soutul, she fled through the city, and be- yond it into the -green field, and past them into the darkestsdepths of the for- est. On the fourteenth of July she heard of the governor's projected trip down the river and bay, and a keen desire for re- venge surged in the woman's breast. With the surpassing subtlety of in- sanity, Norah managed on the fifteenth of July to conceal herself on board the boat. She accompanied the party down the bay. To make away with "sweet Maud" was her purpose, but there seemed no oppor- tunity of carriny out her fell design till the little party were on the return journey. Ever on the alert, she had beard two persona the mother and the nurse, en- ter the deserted 'cabin. She heard the gentle voice of the another directing the nurse th _put out the lights. She heard her also dismiss the nurse. And then fol- lowed darkness and silence, softly brok- en at hest by the mother's low, melodi- ous voice as she sang and rocked the babe to sleep. Next she heard the en- trance of another-Letty-and she lis- tened to the conversation that ensued. Lastly she, beard the mother and the young anut open the stateroom door adjoining her own and lay the babe to rest. She laughed at the careful, (tying colloquy between them as they took one precaution after the other against any chance harm or inconvenienee to their darling. She laughed when she heard them talk about the window, and each ask and assure each other that the win- dow was perfectly safe. And she laughed more When she heard them go out and leave the babe alone. But soon she beard the voice of the mune as she came and drew a chair near the baby's state- room door. And then Norah looked out from her window and saw that they were appronehing the city. When she turned away again she listened and found that the cabin was still, She looked through the keyhole and eaw that it wee deserted. And then the heavy breathing of the nunse, stationed at the baby's 'stateroom door, assured her that, she slept. Now 02' never then, for vengeance, It was a great risk, but it should be run. Stealthily unlocking the door, she glid- and aniging in a low, sweet voice, as she ed into the cabin.

Layieg the babe flatly as possible against her breast, and folding the shawl closely over her, Norah stole from the cabin, and creeping along miler the Shadows, reached the lower forward deck, which was also in deep gloom. The boat had now reached the -wharf. A erowd of men were forward -some se - airing her to the pier, some throwing out the plank,some briuging forward bas- kets, enakti and hampers that were to go on shore. And everybody was too much en- gaged to notice a new -comer, who, be. sides, kept out of.the range of observa- tion. Then Norah heard a sudden running to and fro epin the cabin and she knew they had Missed the child. Seizing a ham- per as au excuse she mingled with tile crowds Creeping along under the eliadows she gained the city streets, and swiftly and stealthily passing through them, she at last reaehed the opposite .suburb, ran steross the green f ields and gained the forest the seene of her agony after be- reavement. Here she sat down in the trepidation, in the breathless delight of an accomplished vengeance. She knew the hearts of those she had left behind were was very sweet, She laughed aloud. Her wrung with agony as hers WWI once, It laughter rang through the silent forest, The ehild moved restlessly in ber amrs. She did not notice it. She was palpitat- ing with joy at the fruition of her yen. geanee. She needed not to see the anguish of her adversary. She felt it! But the strong little ehild moved vigorously un- d-er her shawl and heaved itself over, and threw out one of Ite fat, pearly arms. Then she opened its Shawl and fanned its robe to give it air. And then little Maud, wearied to other:titian by the play- ing and tossing and eareesing she had undergone during the day, fell asleep again. CTIAPTER X. When that awful day -that day of the darkest doom -was over, sthert the last sorrowful offices of love and the last solemn rites of religion had been per- formed for the dead, and when all efforts to recover the living and the lost had failed and been abandoned, and when the youthful widow could remain no longer absent from her ill and orphaned boy -then Father Goodrich placed his parish for a week under the sole charge of his colleague, and harnessed up the little donkey -cart to take Ellen and her child home. To the poor young widow this was a very sorrowful journey, full of harrowing recollections and associa- tions. In passing every familiar scene ho had loved so well, her heart bled afresh -and on reaching the chosen apot of which he had spoken so hopefully on the last dark day of his life, her grief -burst forth with passionate violence. And nothing could have sustained her through this last trial but the presence, the prayers and the religious consola- tions offered by the good priest.. It' was late in the evening when they reached Deep Dingle, the forest home of Ellen., It was a gray rock cottage, overgrown with moss and creeping vines, and overshadowed by high, wooded hills. There was UP caltivated ground near it, except a small garden, with a few fruit trees inclosed by a low stone wall, moss grown and covered with creepers, like the cottage. As the little old donkey - cart wound .slowly and carefully down the rocky hill, old Abishag, the nurse, stood watching at the cottage gate. And when it drew up and stopped, and Ellen got out, the old servant came forward to ',meet her, a,nd the young widow burst into a flood of tears, and threw herself, weeping, into the arms of the faithful and affectionate creature. That told the tale! Ellen almost instantly disengaged herself, and, asking how the sick boy was, without waiting for the answer, rushed into the house to ascertain for herself. "And where is the old mistress?" ask - sed Abishag, as she received the young baby from the arms of Father Good- rich. "We do not know -she has been miss- ing since the day of the execution. When I return to the city, I shall prose- cute the search for her. And now, Abis- hag. you must not infliet your young mistress with any questions or com- ments upon anything that has occurred in the city. You must not even give her the least encouragement to talk about those things, even if she is dispos- ed to do so, but try to draw her mind off, and interest her in the affairs of the housekeeping and the children. How is the sick child?" "A good deal worse, sir," said old Abishag, heaving a deep sigh at these accumulated troubles. The priest hastened into the house, where he found Ellen in the extremity of anxiety by the bedside of her boy, who was rolling about in the delirium of fever, and piteously calling for the mothet, who, unrecognized, bent over him. The imminent danger of this child was of the greatest benefit to Elken. It aroused her from the deep despair that might else have been fatal. It taught her, by the fear of losing them, how great the blessings -were that yet re- mained to bind her to life -to excite her to action. The extreme illness of her boy lasted several clays, and when the crisis of life and death was safely passed, and the child lived, Ellen exper- ienced what she never thought to feel again --joy, gratitude to God, hope for the future! She was enabled to listen to the practical adviceof rather Good- rich, who had remained with her during this danger. The priest advised her to write to her wealthy relatives -who had, indeed, disowned Ellen ever since her love marriage with poor Williant 0'. Leary, but who, if they had hearts of flesh, must pity and suceor her in her heavy misfortunes. Ellen was not com- posed enough to write, but she permit- ted Father Goodrich to 'write for her. And the priest still deferred his depar- ture until an Ammer should be re- ceived. It eame-a hard, unchristian letter, the pith of which was a coarse and vul- gar proverb: "As Ellen hall made her bed she must lie upon it," and this last disgrace of her husband's death on the gallows forever precluded the possibility of a recognition of her by her family. It was a letter to which there could be no possible aitswer.' (To .be continued.) wiewaseaussisomosiwissoesaawissosawswww.os • 1 P. 0, Box 97, Hamilton, Ont, WANTED A good Cook for family of two.

A little boy one day in the village of Greenock, in Scotland, sat with his head between his heads watching a kettle boil- ing on the fire, while his mother was kneading the dough for griddle cakes. The lid of the kettle began to move up and down under the pressure of the steam beneath. At each rise and fall of the lid the boy would say to himself, "Jamie, mon, there's power there." Sud- denly his mother turned around, and, giving him a stinging box on the ear, exclaimed, "And, Jamie, mon, there's power there!

Sir Samuel Baker in his book on wild beasts says that the power of the jaws of the crocodile is terrific. Once he had the metal of a large hook the thickness of ordinary tele- graph wire completely bent together, the barbed point being pressed tightly against the shank and rendered useless. This compression was mused by the snap of the crocodile's jaws when seizing a live duck which he had- used as bait, the hook being fastened -beneath the wing. On another occasion he found a fish weighing seventy pounds bitten clean through as it divided -by a knife. This again was the work of the snap- ping jaws of a crocodile. A Frenchman, Paul Bert, once made experiments on the strength of a croco- dile's jaws by means of a dynamometer. He found that a crocodile weighing 120 pounds exerted a force of 308 pounds in closing his jaws. The lion has an enor- 4:101151 jaw power. An African traveller once pushed the butt end of his gun in- to a lion's mouth and the pressure of the jaws cracked, it aa though it had been struck by a steam hammer. -Chicago Daily NOWS. •••••111MM.08•11.1.••=•••••••••• MinardPs Liniment 00., Limited: Gents, -A customer of ours cured a very bad ease of distemper in a valuable home by the use of MINARD'S IsINI- MENT.

Mr. Myers had changed the steers from a shady pasture to another about ten eighth of a mile away, in which there were no trees.

He cut out all the yearlings and drove them to another part of the field, but too late to get the herd to shelter before eleven had fallen dead.

The uninitiated are prone to look up- on the balloon as a sort of 'country fair attraction, whose principal interest 'Ties in the risk the aeronaut takes. This is a mistake. Like the automobile, the balloon re- quires an experienced pilot, and when such a one is in charge, serious or fatal accidents are never recorded. Most bal- loon clubs require all ascensions to be made under a regularly licensed pilot who receives his certificate from the club only after having demonstrated hit fit- ness. The pilot, who is willing to go up only in favorable weather and to come down at the proper time, need never throw out a handful of sand and he can prevent his balloon from coming dow,n or can send it up. When he is ready to land, he picks out a favorable epot ahead of him, lets his balloon come gradually down near the ground, Mita loose the anchor which stops his pro- gress, then opens the valve.agalp, if ne- cessary.
