SWEARING PUP A Louisville par,r

very rruch in the tone of one talking while

words except expletives, and its proximity
was something almost shocking coming from
the source it did. But it was excused by
the spectators, of whom there were quite q
number, on the ground that 1t didn't know
any better. and nobody but a dog would use
such language.

the animal.

Ventril"quism was out of the question. In
fact, every Precaution was taken to detect

the unanimous conclusion that the animals

readily acknowledged stating that he hal

4 THRILLING ADVENTURES.

1t was clear, balmy DAY in ,:une
when /, Richard Dawson, mIdshipman,
at home IN Cornwall after cruise, loOk>
ed up three of my old school mates for a
row along the coast il yawl hired of
a Waterman, and we'll freighted with all
that was needed to make the day merry
one.
Away we went, four of the most light
hearted lads living. Bob Trelawny stroke,
myself with a pair of scuis, Tom Davies
in the bow-rowing random and Billy
Finch, our little coxswain, saucily hug
ging himself on the dwarfish stature which
exempted him from any greater share in
our labUrs.
With many a sharp quiz at each others
expense, our laughter waking up the
echoes of the curiously veined cliffs tow~
ering above us, we glided along the pic
turesque coast sometimes passing be-
meath huge blocks Of granite, which
seemed TO need but touch to tOpple
them down upon our frail craft, sometimes
catching glmpses of tiny coves, whose
beauty no foreign scenery l have ever
visited exceeded. Into one of these our
coxswain steered us when we began TO
show symptoms of fatigue, skilliully taxi
ing us through The narrow inlet between
the rocks that concealed ii from casual
observers.
Perhaps the dark hours that followed
helped to imprint On my memory the
peaceful beauty of that spot, for / can
conjecture up-even now that years have
passed over my head-every detail of the
fair picture the high banks hemming in
the mimic bay, covered TO their SUBMITS
with heather and The endless variety of
ferns that flourish III the rich alluvial
soil the trees crowning the heights, the
siehng of the soft breeze that stirred
their branches. and the musical cadence
of falling water as innumerable little riy-
uleis bounded from rock to rock in glis-
tening cascades, or like silver serpents
threading their way toward the murmur-
ing sea The scene was so lovely that
even the mercurial spirit of our coxswain
was impressed by it, and he stopped in
the midst of one of his favorite ditties TO
exclaim,
"By Jove, it's sublime J"
In eminiscenees of our happy school,
days, and song after song from the Mario
of our company the time quickly passed
away, till the deepening shadows warned
US that we must depart. Our diminished
stores were replaced in the yawl, and
bending to our work. we soon emerged
from the peaceful cove into the broader
expanse of St Michaers bay.
While we were lingering in the cove,
the breeze had freshened so that our little
boat danced merrily over the swelling
waves, the bounding motion adding fresh
impetus to the mirth which was exuber
ant enough at starting

a slIUGGLER FOR ONCE.

One bitterly cold morning in December,

want in the parsons family and not used
to roughing it, and it cut me TO the heart
TO see how thin and pale she was getting

| did not know how 10 get. Poor girl
weak as she was, she was the braVest of

most in despair, her loving arms would

bid me cheer up and bear my troubles like
a man. and have answered that If L
could bear them as patiently as woman,
it would do better still.
While standing mt the gate, puzzling
myself what to try that hadn't tried al
ready, I saw Tom Davies, cousin of
mine. coming along the lane, looking as
sleek and comfortable as well-groomed
horse. 1t had always been a mystery to
me now Tom lived, for let trade be ever
go bad, he never seemed to suffer, but was
well clothed, and looked jolly and happy.
He was always civil, but as he stopped
now to give me time of day, he noticed
how queer L looked; and though I'm not
given to talking of my trouble, his sym.
pathy loosened my tongue. and told him
how there wasn't morsel of bread in the
cupboard, and | didn't know how to put
any there.
