'Well, he's considerbul of the
.-same shade now,' said father finally
as he sauntered off, followed by
Tim, grumbling; but then, Tim
,nearly always grumbled.
Marion, left alone in the moun-
tain cabin, often felt lonely and
cotnpauionlesa enough, so it was
with a feeling of relief that she
patted her' dog friend's head, and
.felt that he was alive, at any rate.
Though Marion had grown to love
the mountains like human beings,
and into her speech had crept a
little refinement not apparent in
Tim or her father's. `I live with
,kings and queens, and if 1 did or
said horrid things, they would
*crush me to death,' she said one
,day, when Tim was teasing her
about putting on lady airs. Where-
at he had, all uncomprehending,
Booked at her in blank amazement.
Marion's mother, dying when she
was a tiny child, had left her in
the care of her father and Tim, who
if they did not always understand
,the little maid's quaint speeches,
were wonderfully proud of her
nevertheless, and were trying to
dig a golden fortune for her out of
tthe mountains.
It was about half an hour before
the up express for Salt Lake was
due, Marion knew ; and while she
stood watching the down train die.

over her head sounded in her ears.
Looking up, to her horror she found
she was in the path of a rock -alike.
As quick as thought she flew out
of the dangerous way, but she wee
one instant too late or else she stutu
bled- and fell, she could never tell
which, but at any rate she found
her legs pinned fast by falling rocks.
She could wove her arms and head
a little, she found, and looking
down on the track, elle saw it was
covered with rock. 'Oh, the train I

cried. Then she thought of Waif,
who had escaped entirely, and who
wee now crying and pawing around
her. 'Come here, \Vaif, 'she called,
and he at otcn trotted around, where
he could look in her face, his own
honest countenance expressing grief
in every hair, 'Now, Waif, dear
old fellow, don't fail me,' she gasped,
for the pain in her pinioned legs
was almost more than she could
bear. Co and bring father 'n 'I'iw
here, and he quick, Waif, be quick.'
Waif was off almost before she
had finished, and she could only
pray that they might be in time,'
They were only a little distance
from there, she knew, but would
they understand? A panting yel-
low dog with a dilapidated daisy
chain around his neck flew straight
for Tim and father, who, when they
saw him cowing, looked up beyond
him for the little blue suubonneted
figure usually close behind. When
they fatted to see her they naturally
supposed that she was hiding some-
where, and at first paid no atten-
tion to the frantic brute leaping and
barking around them ; for, alas ! lie
was a dog much given to demon–
stration when nothing at all was the
matter. But father, who was rest-
ing and smoking, at length regard
ed Waif with attention.
'Look here, Tim, I believe there's
summat gone. wrong with the gal.
Look at the brute, he's trying to
tell us,' he said. 'The fool dog's
allus up to his monkey -shine; you
don't git me on no wild-goose chase,
gal,' shouted Tim, 'so you might's
well give up."
But father, glancing at the setting
sun, and feeling that his pipe was
out, said :
'Come along, boy ; it's time to lay
off, anyhow, and I dont feel easy
about the gal.' So saying he start-
ed after Waif, and Tiro, with a
mighty yawn and stretch, followed
slowly, saying : 'Might a quit this
mornin' or a month ago, fur that
matter, fur all the good its done us
work in' here.'
Marion stood watching them out
of sight, and then lingered a mo -
anent as a rosy flush crept over the
-snowy peaks and told her the sun

peaks dazzlingly contrasted with
the sharp shadow on their sides
and clad them in the purple of

As time went on Marion found
Waif a great comfort, because Tim
.and father were getting discouraged,
and Tim's grumbling, steady and
monotonous, was heard to bear,
while father pulled at his pipe and
said 4ittle, a bad sign for father,

And off sped Tim. And when
he and the engineer came back,
there sat father crying like a baby
with Marion in his arms, who was
kissing his rough, wet cheeks, and
trying hard not to groan, while
Waif, with one ear up and one
down, looked both anxious and de•

'Thank God it ain't her tender

glance at the scattered rook. 'Her

THE MAN WHO IS, OR ARE.
New York, Sept. 19.—From

"the man who is, or are." Hie or

L'tlloo seemed to like it, but it
was a most uncomfortable way of

as if his &ittle brother had pluuged
his head through Lalloo's breast

legs and arms sticking a number of

PRIESTLY DOMINATION.
Describing the attempt of the
young men of the country to throw
off the yoke of priestly domination,
Mr. Johnson mentioned the case of
the Rey. Thomas Connellan, a
Roman Catholic priest. Thisgentle•
man, two years after being appoint-
ed to the priesthood, , was asked to
preach a sermon on transubsantia,
tion. He had to read for it, and
the more he read the less he believ-
ed the doctrine, But the stifled his
convictions and preached the sere
mon. Conscience was at work and
he determined to give up the
Church of Rome. Knowing wha
he would suffer by an open repudia-
tion, he one day entered a boat in
his clerical garb, threw it off in the
river, swam ashore, put on a secular
garb that Ile had hidden on the hank
and 'made his way to London. He
was eulogized in the papers. In
London he became savingly convert-
ed to God ; and then he returned
anxious to preach Jesus to his coun-
trymen. He entered his father's
home and the father received him.
The priest came along and said ;
'You must put that man out.' The
father said, 'I will not put hint out ;
but if.you. talk .like -.that you 'must
go out. I deplore the conduct of
my son, but he is my son, and T re -

HORRIBLE JUVENILE DE-
1'RAVlTY.
The details of a horrible murder
committed by two boys, each of
them about 8 years old, have just
come to light in Liverpool. Two
lads named respectively Crawford
and Shearon, were arrested there
yesterday. They were charged with
murdering one of their comrades, a
boy also about eight years old.
Upon being taken to the police
station Crawford and Shearon con-
fessed to the crime charged, against
them. They said that they wanted
to steal the clothes of the murdered
boy and so pushed him into the
water, intending to drown him.
Wheu,the poor little fellow manag-
ed to scramble out Crawford and
Shearon pushed him in again and
then Crawford went down on his
knees, and, kneeling on the drown-
ing boy's head, held him under the
water until hp finally ceased strug-
gling. The two young murderers
then watched the dead boy for a
considerable length of time to see if
he stirred, and then they stripped
the body of the clothes, dried them
and afterwards obtained some
money for them at a pawn shop.
This led to their identification and
eventual arrest.
SHOCKING IMMORALITY.
One of the worst cases that was
ever presented in a Police Court
in New York, city was prod uced at
the Yorkville Court, by agents of
the society for prevention of cruelty
to children. They arraigned Robert
Bell, the assistant sexton of Calvary
Church (Protestant Episcopal) cor•
ner 21st street and 4th avenue, on
charges of having abducted and
criminally assaulted six Jewish girls
ranging from 14 to 16 years of age.
Bell was caught by the agents with

purpose. To the other girls he had

P
New York Tribune : One of the
most noticeable results of a slight
attack of paralysis is the tendency
to substitute the wrong word or
even sentence fur that which is in-
tended, quite unconsciously on the
part of the speaker, who can not
comprehend why he ie not under-
stood. To a patient who felt very
much discouraged because he asked
to have the wiudow shut when he
uteaut to say "Fetch me some
water." Dr. A—, who is a noted
specialist in such troubles, related
the following incident : "A. promi-
nent titan iu Boston, who had a
slight shock butt who apparently
had quite recovered, wished some
nails, and Went into a hardware
shop to purchase them, 'I want a
dozen or so of archangels,' he said
to the somewhat mystified clerk.
'\\re do not keep them, sir,' was the
response. 'That is odd,' said Mr.
B—, and he went into another
shop and asked again for archangels,
Again the smiling clerk told him
that they did not have them. Quite
vexed at his failure to procure such
simple things as small nails, he
tried the third time with like result,
and finally gave it up in despair.
'I never saw anything like the stu-
pidity of these shopkeepers,' he de-
clared to his wife at dinner. 'I
went into three hardware shops
after archangels and could not get
them.' 'After what I' exclaimed his
wife ; and it was not until she ex-
plained her astonishment that he
realized what a mistake he had
made."
