At Oast Ruth, wan passive. she was so
happy in. hemg thus aseured of his love.
But presently she drew herself away and
looked at him, "Have you aeon your fatla
er and mother?" she said timidly.
He took her hand in hie as he answered.
"Yes,. I have been. at home with theM,
iuv darltng,"
He was fondling her band between hia; he
seemed to have forgotten every one else.
"Did you—did they--" She heeitatecl,
and he looked at her inquiringly.
"What does the darling want to know?"
he said, in a petting, tender tone that
thrilled through Rath and made her feel
weak with happiness.
"I mean, what did they say about uli?
DO they know you are here to -day?"
He looked at her sharply. it seemed
itnpossible that sunk tuisophisticated ignor-
anoe of life maid be real;and then the clear
truth he met in her eyes shamed him out of
his momentary doubt.
"No they do not know," he said. "The
fact is, I found the house full of visitors—
down for Whitsuntide you know. I have
not aa yet had the chance of a quiet talk,
I shall join them in town to -morrow, but
fancy I shall wait a bit before I speak about
you. Do not let us waste our precious hap-
piness by talking about them!"
He tried again to put his atm around her,
but Rath moved feather away.
"Is it right for us fie meet till my father
at least knows of our engagement? I should
be easier, and happier, too, if your people
knew. I cannot alter that. Please, you
must let me tell my father!"
He drew her close to him. "My darling,
that would ruin everthing. Your father is
proud, and he would consider it his duty to
tell my father of our attachment. He does
not know my people. I do not wish to
peak against them ; but they he.ve-

would be useless. Let us be patient,

Far as money is concerned, and then we

Ruth sighed. She loved him more dearly

writing to him, and then her natural hop

her hand lingeringly from his warm clasp
and turned batik toward the Kill Vallee*.
She soddenly turned again and came beck.
He thought, she had repented, and he went
joyfully forward,
"I do trustyou fully," she said before he

with me. I cannot help my love."
She retreated as she spoke, alarmed at
her own confession ; and she had ti•gi away
up the glen before he could rem& her.
CHAPTER Sr.
Ruth was strong and healbhy, both in
mind arid body; and her love was also
strong. For days after that meeting in the
glen she had felt that she must recall her
lover. She could•not bear the separation
from him. Her heart ached with vain of
loss, and who could say, she asked herself,
how long it might be before she saw his
dear face again or felt his kisses on herlips?
She could not ;deep, she could not eat ;
and she was so dreamy and unrecollected
that her father often had to speak twice
before she took in his meaning. If she had
been less' self-absorbed she might have
wondered that her father did not remark on
her abstraction; but besides the constant
thought of her lover she had to keep up a

He freed one of his hands and put it up

presently Ruth saw tears fall through his
fingers. She kept silence ; it was so ter-

Ruth rose. She put her arm round her

"Do you owe very much?" she whisper-

"More than I can pay for years to come,"
he said sullenly.
It did not seem it wise moment in vehich
to make her orier, and she sat thinking
what could be done to save expense.
" I think we can do without Faith," she
said, " or suppose we send Bridget away.
I can manage with Faith. She is a willing
little creature."
"No," I can't have you spoiling your
hands," he said, "and tiring yourself with
housework. How can cook do without
Faith? She helps in the kitchen work:"
He spoke irritably, as if he thought the
proposal unnecessary; but Ruth was de-
termined.
"1 think better of cook than that," she
said, smiling ; "and if she does not like
the plan, will it not be as well to send her
away with Bridget, and geb a cheaper sort
of servant?"
"Save five pounds a year and be miser-
able," he said. "That sort of saving does
more harm then good. There, child, say no
more abcut it; Pin not going to let you
suffer. I've injured you enough already."
" Row can you have injured m�?" she
said, laughing; "you are the best father a
girl ever had."
He pushed her -away as she tried to
put her arm round him, and he rose from
his chair.
"After all, I had better tell you," he said
in a hearse, strange voice that filled her
with fear. "You'll not call me the best
father in the world. I take it, when. you
know that lam a thief. Yes, a thief 1" for
she bad forced herself to smile at what she
considered exaggeration "1 have robbed

He turned from her and leaned againsb
the wall; he shrank from meeting her eyes.
"Is that all? she said brightly. "I was
just going to ask you to use it as soon as it
was mine to give you, so you see it makes
no real difference."
"Child, you do not uuderstamd. Your
grandfather was a learned man but he

varying in diameter at different times from
500 miles to 3000 miles. The tail belonged
to the hydrocarbon type, bus there were
faint streamers of the hydrogen type. The,
maximum apparent length of the tail was
about 50 degrees, that is, when the comet
was half way between the horizon and the
zenith, the tail could be seen sweeping be-
yond the zenith. Its breadth was some
five or six degrees at the extremity. The
reel length and breadth were about45,000,

Its orbit was determined to be a. very long

Tat' COMET OF 1881.
Most of my readers will remember the
great comet of 1881. The same Dr. Gould
telegraphed its coming to the Northern
Hemisphere, where it was seen on the
morning of June 23, It journeyed north
until it entered the circle of perpetual ap.
petition, early in July, and after that
never set bat was visible all night for sev-
eral weeks. This also travelled in the or-
bit of a comet seen in 1807, but as before,
it is clearly proved that they are not
identical.
I give the account of the great comet of
1882 ia the words of Professor Newcomb •
'Early m September, 1882, a comet was
een with the naked eye by observers at
he Cape of Good Hope, in Australia, and
n Cordoba, South America. Dr. Gill, at
he Cape, desoribes it as being on Septein-
er 7, the date of its first observation at
hat point a quite conspicuous object, the
uoleus appearing to the naked eye as a
tar of the third. magnitude. On the after-
oon of Sunday, September 17, the comet
was visible in broad daylight, near the sun,
°hag, in faet, seen in both hemispheres,
n the afternoon it was evidently approach -
ng the sun's limb, and about to perform a
ransit over the sun's disk, similar to that
f Venue. This phenomenon was one pro,.
iously unheard of in astronomy, and was,
herefore, of the most absorbing intermit,

entering the disk; but on examining the
disk very carefully not the slightest trace
of the comet could be seen. The definition
WaS bad, and in a few minutes more the
sun disappeared behind the mountain.
"The fact that no trace et the comet was
Itering upon it is of great interest, as show -
visible upon the face of the sun after en-
ing that the solid opaque nucleus if it ex-
isted at all, must have been much smaller
I
than the apparent nucleus measured
with the telescope. The transit of a great
comet like this over the sun's face is a
phenomenon which cannot:be expected more
than once in many centuries. Wemust,
therefore, congratulate ourselves that two
observers were able to note it, even under
very unfavorable circumstances."
.After perihelion the comet developed
into the most brilliant one which had beea
seen for twenty years. Statute to say, it
was found to be travelling itt an orbit al -
racist identical with those of 1843 and 1880.
But themornetd are not identical, for this
comet flew away from the sun with such a
velocity that it will be centuries before it
appears again.
In concluchng these papers on "Comets,"
allow me once more to goote from Sir R. S.
Bell's "Story of the Heavens:"— "NI a have
confined -our remarks to the humbler, but
more certain process of indicating the part
which comets play in the solar system:
"We see that they are obedient to the
great laws of -gravitation and afford a
striking illustration of their truth. We

the superstition with which, in earlier ages,
the advent of it comet was regarded. We
no termer regard soch it body as it align of
impending calamity; we anay rather look
open it as an interesting and a beautiful
visitor, which comes to please us and to
instruct us,"—Robert 13light, B. A.,

of small ground game, young deer'and

when on our buffalo -hunt in Montana, in
1886, we got many fine Coyotes for our col-
lection by putting around the buffalo car-
casses numerous bits of lean meat duly
charged with strychniue. The ranchmea
and cow -boys of the West have slaughtered
tens of thousands of Coyotes in this way,
to protect their 'young calves and sheep,
and also to make money from pelts and
bounties.
But Sir Coyote is cute. He knows ex-
actly the distance that constitutes fair rifle -
range, and he knows just as well whether
the stranger is armed as does the stranger
himself. When hunting in the Shoshone

ranch, I left the expedition, and started
north by stage, leaving behind me rifle,
revolver, knife and even scissors. Just
two hours afteriI had said good -by to my

close to the trail. Seeing us coming, he se
lected a soft spot, sat down within thirty

faces et him, and wishing for a gun, a re.

him, we drove Go; and then he got up and
went on hutting for jackrabbits. To this
clay I have been puzzling over the question.

quiekly that both the driver and I were
totally uitatmed ?" That he did know it
perfectly well I have no doubt whatever,
