and my child easily, and that / could leave
a chink of the lid open to led us breathe,
for the overlapping edge would save my
fingers from the panther. In a second
had it all clear before me; but had the
brute not stopped short at sight of the cur
tain, | should never have had chance of
trying it. Luckily for me the Indian
panther, savage as he is, is terrible cow
ard, and suspicious as any detective I've
seen one 90 round and round trap for
more than half an honr, before he made up
his mind to spring at the bait. So, while
my friend was puzzling himself over the
curtain, and wondering whether it was
meant for trap or not, took up Minnie,
(whO, poor little pet seemed to know there
was something wrong, and never uttered a
sound) and into the chest | crept, making
as little noise as | could
81 was hardly settled there when heard
the 'snif-sniff' of the panther coming right
up to where | lay, and through the chink
that had left upon, the hot, foul breath
came steaming in upon my face, almost
making me sick. 1t seemed to bring my
heart into my mouth when | heard his
great claws scraping the edge of the lid,
and trying to lift it up; but, happily, the
chink was too narrow for his paw to enter.
But if the paw couldn't, the tongue could
and soon he began to lick my fingers, rasp
ing them so that hardly knew how to bear
it. Still, the touch of Minnie's little arm
around my neck seemed to give me courage.
''But there was far worse than this to
come; for the panther suddenly leaped
right on top of the chest, and his weight
pressed down the heavy lid upon my fling
ers, until the pain was so terrible that I'M
able to stand it any longer, screamed with
all my might.
''The scream was answered by a shout,
from Just outside, in which | recognized
my husbands voice. The panther heard it,
too, and it seemed to scare him, for he
made dash for the window, either forget
ting OF not noticing the iron bars; but just
as he reached it, there came the crack of
rifle, and heard the heavy brute fall upon
the floor, Then all the fright seemed to
come back upon me at once, and tainted
outright.
81 heard afterward that Mr.. R had
happened to want some instrument which
he had left at the house; and, not wishing
to trust it in the hands of any of the na-
tives, he came back for it himself-luckily,
Just in time, for the bullet from his rifle
killed the panther. But as you see, my

| think the adjuster is the most observant
man ever met on train. He sees every
thing. and notes the peculiarities of the
people he meets before he has seen them.
We sat in a car together up in Wisconsin
one day and he said:
'.Dont you always notice, in every car
in which YOU ride, the fool that always sits
directly before YOU, and always opens the
window every time the engine whistles, and
sticks his head and shoulders out to see
what they are doing at that station, and
never closes the window till the station is
out of sightl"
''Yes, had; and he never saw anybody
he knew at any stationl"
ssNever," said the adjuster, 'Iand he
never sees anything anybody is doing at the
station, and can't tell the name of the station
while he is at it,"
'.And always scrapes the back of his head
against the sharp edge of the window sash
when he pulls it in," said, land then dis
mally rubs his head while he turns around
and looks suspiciously at you, as though he
believes you did it, and did it on purposef"
''And the man who is waiting at the
station to see the train come ini" continued
the adiuster. sthe man with butternut over
alls tucked into his boots, tawny beard, arms
crammed into his pockets up to the elbows,
mouth wide open-yOu never miss him;

sunset: when YOU come back at sunrise, he
is waiting for YOU: never sees anybody he

Judge Haviland made has appearance.
Carl found his mother in state of agita-
ton, whose nature he could not define
there were traces of tears upon her face,
and vet he thought that he had never seen
her eyes so bright, or her cheeks 50 bloom

To his great delight Judge Haviland de-
cided TO leave Dora, for the present, with
her new friends, to use his own words, 'for
the sake of country air and country living. v
But he came to see her often-almost every
day in fact so that Carl was, in measure,
prepared for the announcement that was
made to him one evening, as they were all
out on the porch together, and which the
judge gave in way peculiar to him.
81 have news for you, my boy, and which
hope will make you as happy as it has
mae me. Your mother is going to be my
wife, and Dora, your own little sister,"
The boy was silent, and his face being
hidden by the curly head of the child
that was clinging to his neck, his mother
could not see how he took this.
''Are you sorry, my sonl | shall love
you just the same"
Carl smiled as he met that anxious, ap-
pealing look.

mine, very glad"

A Glass Mountain.

Mr.. p. W. Norris, the Srperintend-
ent OF the Yellowstone National Park,
on recent visit to the capital gave a
lecture on some of the natural curiosi-
ties of the region over which he pre-
sides and is engaged in exploring.
Among these may be mentioned as the
most novel a mountain of obsidian or
volcanic glass, and a road made from
this material. Near the foot of Beaver
Lake the explorers discovered this
mountain of glass, which there rises in
basalt-like columns and countless huge
masses many hundreds of feet high
from kissing hot spring forming the
margin of the lake, thus creating a BAL
rier where t was very desirable for a
wagon road TO be; as the glass barri-
cade sloped for some 300 feet high at an
angle of 40 degrees to the lake, and its
glistening surface was therefore i'm
passible, there being neither Indian nor
game track over it. To form the road
huge fires were made against the glass
to thoroughly heat and expand it
and then by dashing cold water
against the heated glass suddenly cool
the latter, causing large fragments to
bre.k from the mass, which were after
wards broken up by sledges and picks
but not without severe lacerations OF
the hands and faces of the party, into
smaller fragments, with which a wagon
road one-quarter of a mile long was
constructed, about midway along the
slope, thus making, it is believed, the
ouly road of native glass upon the con-
tinent. On reaching the Grand canon
of the Gibson river, the explorers
found the eastern palisade, for about
two miles in length, to consist of verti-
Gle pillars, hundreds of feet high, of
glistenIng black, yellow, mottled, or
banded obsidisn or volcanic glass.
This Obsidian has been and is still used
by the Indians for making arrow heads
and other weapons and tools, and the
mountain has formed a vast quarry for
the making of such instruments or
weapons of a quality unequalled any
where.

seat, the one nearest the stove, and looks
straight out of the window and never looks
anywhere else, and never shakes her plumes
again while she stays in the car"
''And the man who wants to talk, - said
''the man who would probably die if he
couldn't talk five minutes to every one he
rides with; who glares hungrily around the
car until his glance rests on the man whom
he thinks too feeble to resist him, and opens
the intellectual feast by asking him how the
weather is down his way; the man who is
always most determined to talk when you
are the sleepiest, or when you want to read
or to think, or Just sit and look out of the
car window and enjoy your own idle, pleas
ant, vagrant day dreamsi'
..And the man, y said Rogers, ''who gets
on the train and stares at every man in the
car before he sits down, and stands and
holds the door open while he stares. Who
always carries an old-fashiOned oil cloth
carpet-bag with him, as wide and deep as a
fire-screen, and before he sits down takes
that carpet-bag by the bottom, rolls it up
into a close roll, and puts it in the rack.
1t is always dead empty. When he leaves
home, he never puts rag or thread or a
button in it. When he comes back it is
emptIer than it was when he went away.
1t never had anything in it that he knows
of since it was owned in the family, but he
will never travel without it.
''And the other man, l said, ''who car
ries nothing in his carpet-bag but lunch,
and eats all the way from Chicago to Cairo!"
''And the man who rides on pass, and
stands on familiar terms with the company,
and calls the brakeman Johnnyl"
''And the man, | said, ''whO is riding
on pass for the first time, and stands up
and holds his hat in his hand when he secs
the conductor approaching, and says sir
to him as he answers the officials questions
and is generally more respectful to him than
he is ever going to be againl"
'.And the man." he said. ''who walks
through the entire length of an empty coach
looking for seat, and then goes back and
sits down in the first one, nearest the door,"
'.And the man." | said, ''who always
gets leftl"
'.And the man, he said, ''who loses his
ticket"
And thus, with pleasant comments on
our fellow passengers did We beguile the
weary hours.

A MOTHERS REvRRY.

They tel me to be happy.
With all these things to do
With Jimmie's little pants to mend.
And Mamie's dresses, too.
While dinner waits for serving;
Soon will the darlings come.
With appetite4 all shsIpened so
When they arrive at home.
Then VIII dislikes to see me
In this old dress 20 grey
He told me so this morning twice
Before he went away.
He said the blush had faded
From of my cheek so fair,
But ten years have departed since
The roses lingerei there.
He knows not of my troubles
AT morning. noon, and night
He wonders why my eyes so sad
Have lost their old love light.
Dear Will, it is the children.
That vex their mother SO
Wen wait until they have grown up
Then things will change You know.
Ten years have psssed-the children
Sleep in the silent tomb;
While everything around me seems
Like mockery and gloom
oh, l should he SO happy.
With twice as much to do;
II only but the children were
Around to vex me too.
