They co. inued their journey all night with- ous further accident, and toward morn- ing found the wind so slight, as to send the boat along at a pace which, how- ever pleasant and agreeable, as far as sensation was concerned, did not at all satisfy their impatience. The sues rose hot and bright in an unclouded sky, psromising a. lovely tropical day. The fugitives breakfasted with appe- tite, after giving some bread and wae ter to the negro, who remained in sul- len silence. He ate what was given him, and Sir Reginald fed him with his own hand, but he made no observations or remark. "What has made you su.speot Josh?" said Eleanor in a low tone when Sir Reginald returned to her side. "I have more than suspicion. I know the fellow's eye well; he cannot de- ceive me; I have studied his charac- ter and countenance too much for that." "You know best," replied Eleanor. who, like most women, had a kind of blind aanfidence in the words of the man she loved. "But what a glori- ous day! It is quite cheering to see atilbesentiene'peer forth after so long an 1 "It Is a glorious day. But, Eleanor, I must warn you. The sun is rising far too hotly, and in too cloudless a sky, not to be followed by a calm. I fear we shall have to row under this terrific heat. If the wind continues, the broiling rays may be tempered by the breeze, but I like not the look of the heavens!" "And yonder dark mass before us; is not that a cloud?" "Hal how sheep are your dear eyes! That is land, and land I know well. Let the breeze last two hours, and we can take shelter on the Mona Island. There, too, is Porto -Rico rising before us." • "Then our dangers are nearly over?" "I know not; we have passed through so much, that we may have to pain through more before we reach the goal we seek. But eat on, dearest; nothing keeps up courage and hope like whole- some food." • Eleanor did as she was directed, the soldier -sailor settingher a good ex- ample.

But he was not personally known to any, and he trusted to the feelings of humanity which might be natumally expected to exist in, the bosoms of all men toward persons in their position. lent then he knew the vindictive lebanaoter of the mulatto, who, though for years a faithful servant, wouldt now, he was fully aware, readily risk his own life to gain revenge. He had but to speak a word, and the secret of the captain of the Lone Star was betrayed. "It woeld have been wiser' to have killed him," said he, suddenly speak- ing aloud, 'without being aware oe it. "Who 7" exclaimed Eleanor, who sail beside him in the stern -sheets, in a terrified tone, "The tlack, He will yet, I fear, prove our ruin ;" and the fingers of the impulsive soldier mechanically played with the butt -end of his nearest pistol, while his dark eyes glanced menacingly toward the black. "Nay, better risk any thing than im- brue our hands in blood, Reginald," said Eleanor, with a shudder, while at the same time she laid her hand firm- ly on his arm.

And then once more she looked around, and influenced by the hour and the scene, forgetting all save the seemingly pro- phetic words of Sir Reginald, Eleanor gradually elbowed herself to give way to pleasant thoughts. She glanced at the future with some little hope, and. forgot the present so effectually, that she began to doze. First all around seemed a vague picture, then all was distinct again—the boat, the sky, the moon, the waters; and then she saw an old baronial hall, crowds of servants, Sir Reginald smiling by her side, with a vapouxy outline of sundry little faces which she had never seen before, and yet which were quite familiar to her. "Lie down, deer Eleanor," suddenly said a voice neer her, and she was again quite awake. Sir Reginald held the tiller in his hand, and was pulling aft the sheet of the sail, which, during the brief doze she had taken, had got loose, "Wa I asleep?" • "Yes, Eleanor, and so was I, like a.

Sargent, of San Francisco, who has been, in the Kootenay mining districts for the past two months, tells •a remarkable story at the way a tea- derfoot from Montreal discovered a gold mine in that far -away mining re- gime The !young man, who was a clerk, was spending a few weeks. with a friend engaged in mining, and put in his time fishing and hunting. The location of his friend's cabin was far up toward the headwaters of one of the tributaries of the Kootenay River, far from any other prospector, and in a section where the bears were not only numerous, but inquisitive and troublesome. When both men were away from the cabin it was necessary to carefully close up all the openings, and the bears had an unpleasant habit of climbing into the cable, and, besides getting away with all the provisions in sight, playing football with the cooking utensils. The bears were of the COMMON BROWN VARIETY, none of them very large, and were not considered dangerous—in fact, their worst trait of character was the fa- miliarity which ored anger, rather than contempt. One day as the two iriends returned from a hunting excur- sion they saw three bears investigating the surrounetings of, the cabin, occasion- ally stopping to roll about a camp ket- tle, which had been thoughtlessly lett outside. Both men were armed with rifles, and as they succeeded in getting near the animals without being perceived, were awe to min deliberate aim. As they delivered their tire two of the nears eel', the third scampering off up the mountain. As they supposed both animals dead, they neglected to reload, and bad approached to within a few teat of the prostrate bears when the largest suddenly sprang to his feet and, with a fierce roar, made directly for them. The young man from the city had never cultivated a close acquaintance with the bear mildly and did the first thing that occurred to him—dropped his weapon and sprinted for the near- est tree, about 100 yards away, and growing on the edge of a gulch twelve or fifteen feet deep. The bear stopped a few seconds to sniff at the rifle and then contemptuously teasing it aside, continued the chase. The hunter reached the tree and had climbed to the lower limbs when his pursuer reached it and without any hesitation commenced the ascent. This was some- thing that the amateur huntsman had not calculated upon, and he at once proceeded to climb higher in the hope that his antagonist might get tired and give up. 'lee tree leaned, somewhat over the ravine, maillIne the climbing easy, but the fact favored the bear as well, and when near the upper branches the young fellow found to his dismay that the bear was entirely too close for cotnfort. At that mo- ment, however, his friend, who had re- covered from his fright and reloaded SHOT THE ANLVIA.L through the head. Now another danger manifested it- self. The combined weight of the man and the bear had been too much for the slender hold of the roots of the tree up- on the soil, and as it leaned. further and further over the gulch it became, evidentt hat unless he could scramble down the man would be thrown upon the rocks at the bottom. Clinging to one limb after another, he made des- perate efforts to get down, but before he had accomplished more than half the distance the last root gave way, and there seemed to be nothing be- tween him and death and gerious in- jury. His grip closed upon, the limb to which he was clinging, and in an- other moment the top of the tree rested upon the bottom of the ravine, while the thoroughly frightened man dropped upon the carcass of the dead bear, himself almost dead with fright. But the strangest feature of the ad- venture was that in falling over the tree had removed the earth from a four -foot vein of rich quartz, the ex- istenpe of which had been entirely un- suspected. Now the young man from Montreal is a horny -banded miner, making a good income out of his claim, which he named "The Bear." CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY. Equipments that Is Necessary to Carry on Its Business.

THEY CARRY THEM CONCEALED TO BE READY FOR EMERGENCY. The Czar Carries a Revolver Presented By Ins Mother—Emperor William of Ger- many and the Soclalista—Napoleon Always Carried a Sword -Stick. The move -robe of the Old World are surrounded by guards of police and sol- diers and every device imaginable is adopted to protect them from assassi- nation. Nevertheless, they place so little reliance upon these safeguard that several of them always go about armed. The present Emperor of Rus- sia, on his return from Japan, where he narrowly escaped death at the bands of a, fanatic Samurai, was given a small revolver by his mother. The Empress made him promise that whenever he was away' from the imperial palace he would carry it about his person. The Czar carried the weapon throughout his foreign tour, and when driving places it 'in the pocket of his carriage within easy reach of his right hand. i The assassin that hopes to take the young Emperor by surprise will be dis- appointed. He is ewer on the alert; and, like his mother and his young wife, is haunted with the idea that sooner or latter he will be called up- on to defend. himself against, the swift and determined attack of one' of those so-called "patriots" who destroyed his ill-fated grandfather. The latter was killed, although at the 'time his trusted Cossack guards surrounded hin! and the entire street through which he was driving at break -neck speed in a closed carriage was LINED WITH POLICEMEN stationed at intervals of a few paces only. Another monarch who inviriably car- ries a loaded piste", whenever he leaves his palace is Emperor William: of Ger- many, who is firmly convinced that he is doomed to die by the bullet of en anarchist, This hae, been predicted to him not once, but a number of times, and, as he is not particularly discreet at times, there are a large number of people who are aware not only of the existence of the prophecy, but also of the extent to which he has permitted his mind to be impressed thereby, It is not a new prediction due to the severity be has displayed recently to- wards the Socialists, but dates back to his twentieth year, when be was mere- ly Prince Willie= and his father ap- peared to be in tae' nest of health and in the prime a manhood, while his grandfather, old Emperor William, seemed destined to iemain on the throne for many years to corns. The matter not only forms a con- stant topic for discussion, but likewise of correspondence between the Em- peror and his friends, and the bullet from the anarchist revolver that is to put an end to his existence seems to be a subject of daily thoughts and pre- occupation. Not that Emperor Wil- liam is afraid. He has many faults, but cowardice is not among them. The sentiment that fills his mind is one of intense and bitter impatience and anger at the idea of not being able to GRASP BY, THE THROAT the foe lying in wait for him. When he first ascended the throne he believed for a time that he might avert the peril by propitiating the Socialists and by removing some of the causes of their discontent. It was that which induced him to organize the lab- or conference and to prevent a series of measures,of so radical a character in the direction of state Socialism as to alarm not only his constitutional ad- visers, many of whom resigned rather than consent thereto, but also the rulers of Austria, Russia, Saxony and Bavaria. Finding that his effort to earn the glood-will of the Socialists were useless he was turned againse them and is swaging a bitter war upon them. In his eyes the Socialists constitute the chief peril of the empire, the stability of which he is convinced would be gravely impaired by his disappearance. He never makes a speech, no matter What the occasion., without laying stress upon the necessity for being prepared for the foe not from without but with- in the, 'lines of Gerrolany. HATES THE HO]' POLLOI. It is not alone "pose," as manypeo- ple believe, that causes the Kaiser's face to assume a set, stern and even forbidding expression when he rides home through the streets of Berlin at the head of his troops. Nothing is more remarkable than the contempt, even abhorrence, apparent in his glance and in the down -drawn corners of his mouth when. he gazes at the populance that lined the sides of the streets and often shouts itself hoarse in his honor. Re feels sure that the bullet will come from among them some day, per- haps not before populace and troops are arrayed once more face to face in san- guinary conflict with one another as they were in 1848. His intimates know the true meaning of the almost fierce manner in which he hurls his half- smaked cigarette to the ground and rattles his sabre in the scabbard as if burning to draw it against the "can- aille" by whom he behaves he is doom- ed. It may be added. that, presumably with his consent and certainly with his know -lenge, the most elaborate pre- cautions are taken by the police to pre- serve him from just this danger, and whereas his father and (grandfather strolled unattended through the'streets of Berlin and Potsdam the present. temperer never goes abroad on foot, and, when riding through the public tberoughfares, is always accompanied by a number of policemen in and out of uniform.

Emperor !Napoleon W., whose life throughout his eighteen years' reign i was n constant itianger at the hands of Mazzini's Carbonare who saw in him a traitor to their order to which he had become affiliated in the days of his stormy youth. always carried about with him a sword -stick. According to contemporary memoirs, he was once compelled to use it on his Italian assail- ants during a nocturnal visit to the villa at Passy of the beautiful Count- ess of Castiglione, and once while mak- ing his' way through the secret wider - ground passage that led from the Ely - see Palace to the residence of his cham- berlain, Connie 13acchiocci, on the other MOVING THE TIGER.. Au Incident of Shifting the Royal Bengal Item One Cage to Another. "Once," said an old circus man, "we had a tiger get loose. This was in a menagerie, in a fixed location, where we had been for some time. The cages for the animals were ranged along on a platform itround a big floored space for spectators; the show was in a building made for it. "We had a very good collection of animals, including a full-grown roy- al Bengal tiger. The tiger cage bad got rather old and we set out to shift the tiger into a new one. We had the new cage all ready, and one af- ternoon after the show was over and the people had all gone we brought it in and moved it up in front of the old cage standing on the platform, and blocked it up so that it was on the same level with the other, and then moved the two cages uti close together face to face. The cage doors didn't . swing; they slid up through an open- ing in the roof of the cage, and what we were going to do was to raise these doors when we got the cages close to- gether and drive the tiger from one cage to the other and then shove down the door of the new cage and put that on the platform. "Well, we got the cages up close to- gether and doors opposite, and a man on the roof of each cage raised the door of that cage; and theu we began to PROD THE TIGER, to make him go theough the opening into the other cage. He started for it and put his paw across tile narrow space between the two cages, but in- stead of puttinu it over inside the door- way of the other cage he put it against the first bar on the side of the door and pushed on it, and pushed the cage away a little bit. That was bad. We ought to have made the cages fast to - gather, but we 'hadn't‚We tried to start him along a litte faster, but instead of going through into the oth- er cage he kept pushing on that bar and pushingthe other cage away. "All this time he Was getting a lit- tle bit further out of the old cage, but not into the new one, The man on top of the old cage tried to shut that door down then,soas to pin the tiger in it and hold him, till we could drive him back, but the door jammed when he first tried it, and he couldn't budge it, and all the time the tiger was push- ing the new cage a little bit further away and getting further out himself. The man on top of the new cage was still holding his door open, hoping that the tiger would step across into the new cage yet, and then he would drop it down and hold him; but the tiger kept pushing the cage away till there was easy room, and then he just drop - lied down on to the floor and walked round the end of the new cage out into the arena. " 'Look out!' says the man on top of the cage, and we did, and left the ti- ger boss of the show while we made arrangements to recapture him, and the tiger started in to take a look around on his own account. There wasn't anybody to ger. in his way; he had the whole place all to himself, and. he waved his tail and glared around and started, and kept going till he came to THE MONKEY C'AGE. That seemed to interest him more than anything else, and he made his first stop there, and stood waving his tail and glaring at the monkeys. Re scar- ed the little monks almost to death, just standing there looking at them, and they rushed over to the back of the cage and flattened themselves against it, trying to get away as far as they could.. "When the tiger pushed his cage away his paw was against a bar on one side of the door, nearer one end of the cage than the other, and so it was that end of the cage that he push- ed out; the other end, stayed in by the old cage; it made a kind of a V-shap- ed opening between the cages, and the tiger had jumped down into that and gone around the end of the cage that was pushed out. This V-shaped space made a kind of shelter, too, 'when the tiger was around on de other side, as he was when he was looking into the monkey cage, and one of the keepers hurried in with about a quarter of beef and threw it into the old cage and pushed it over as far as he could into one corner.
