frightful wilderness. 1 only know that
the poor thing worked her way along
painfully, with sinking heart and un-
steady limbs; lying down "dead- beat"
at intervals, and then spurred on by the
cry of the remorseless dogs, until late in
the afternoon she staggered down the
shoulder of Bartlett and stood upon the
shore of the lake. If she could put that
piece Of water between her and her pur-
suers. she would be safe. Had she
strength to swim it?
At her first step into the water she
saw sight that sent her back with
bound. There was boat mid-lake; two
men were in it; one was rowing, the
other had gun in his hand they were
looking toward her they had seen her.
(She did not know they had heard the
baying of the hounds on the mountains,
and had been lying in wait for her an
hour.) What should she do? The
hounds were drawing near. No escape
that way, even if she could still run.
With only moments hesitation, she
plunged into the lake and struck OBJ
liquely across. Her tired legs could not
propel the tired body rapidly. She saw
the boat headed for her. She turned
toward the center of the lake. The boat
turned. She could hear the rattle of
the oar locks. 1t was gaining on her.
Then there was silence. Then there was
splash of the water just ahead of her,
followed by roar round the lake, the
words ''confound it all, and rattle of
the oars again. The doe saw the boat
nearing her; she turned irresolutely to-
ward the shore whence she came; the
dogs were tapping the water and howl
ing there she turned again to the Gen.
ter of the lake.
The brave, pretty creature was quite
exhausted now. In a moment more,
with a rush of water, the boat was on
her, and the man at the oars had leaned
over and caught her by the tail.
"Knock her on the head with that
paddle p he shouted to the gentleman
in the stern. 1@ @ ee-
The gentleman was gentleman, with
kind, smooth -shaven face, and might
have been minister of some sort of ev-
erlasting gospel. He took the paddle
in his hand. Just then the doe turned
her head, and looked at him with her
great appealing eyes.
81 can't do it. My soul, can't do
it." and he dropped the paddle. ''Oh,
let her go l''
"Let H. go!" was the only response
of the guide, as he slung the deer round,
whipped out his hunting knife, and
made pass that severed her jugular
vein.
And that gentleman ate that night Of
the venison.
The buck returned about the middle
of the afternoon The fawn was bleat-
ing piteously, hungry and lonesome
The buck was surprised. He looked
about in the forest. He took circuit
and came back. His doe was nowhere
to be seen. He looked down at the fawI
in helpless sort Of a way. The fawr
appealed for his supper. The buck had
nothing to give his child, nothing but
his sympathy. If he said anything, thi'
is what he said: ''I'm the head of thi!
family; but really this is novel case
I've nothing whatever for you. DON
know what to do. I've the feelings o
father; but you can't live on them
, Let us travel"
The buck walked away the little on
toddled after him; they disappeared il
, the forest.

HE KNOWS.
BY REV. HENRY BURTON.

.k- I'm walking iu the shadow
or the cloudy day;
With no CLEAN Of sunshine
Falling on my way;
But he knows and holds me-
And his arm enfolds me-
Yes, he knowsi
I'm resting in the quiet,
ON the waters still:
Not a cloud around me-
Not a sound of Ill;
And heavens voices cheer me-
And he fingers near me-
Ali he knowsl
I'm hiding in the shelter
Ofthe smitten Rock;
Not sound can reach me
or the battle-shock;
In his secret places
Sweet are his embrabes--
For he knowsI
I'm waiting in the furnace
Where the fires are hot;
No one knows but Jesus
OF my bitter lot;
Hush the deep repiningl
'Tis his hand refining
Jesus knowsi
I'm walking in the sunlight
OF the summer morn:
In the breaking glory
OF the eternal dawn;
Smiling heavens are DER me-
Home is just before me-
And he Knowsi
Hush the sad repiningI
Each storm hath its bow;
Clouds their silver lining;
And the bltterest woe
His kind love assays it,
And his mercy weighs it
All he knowsl
