no scream, no sign Of fear All as yet had
gone well, when a gleam Of moonlight lii
up the scene, and revealed a party of horse
men some thirty yards distant. There was
no lime for deliberation: the young chief
tain dashed his spurs into his horse, and
with a bound the noble animal was crossing
the now moonlit moor at full speed, hotly
pursued by the chief and his party.
Capture, but don't fire, " was the brief
command.
AT first, the lovers outstripped their pur-
suers; but the double burden began to tell
on the young chieftain's horse, and the dis
tance between them lessened. The chief
was gaining on them at every stride, and
the pale moon still shone on the scene
Suddenly, rs if the earth had opened at their
feet, over the precipice that Overhangs the
Lochan kin DhOan, leaped the horse and
its riders. An exclamation of horror, a
viii yell of agony from the chief as he be-
held this fatal leap, dull, heavy splash in
the deep water beneath was all that re-
sponded. From that hour it was Stunned
as fatal spot. The story of the treasure
had been handed down from father To son.
aad party of stout hearts again resolved
to brave the dangers that surrounded the
scene of the hidden gold. \ night was
fixed. But scarce had the task began ere
an arm and hand, holding naked dirk, is
said to have risen from the water, and an
unearthly voice to have calculated ''For-
bear. Such is the story of the haunted
loch as told long years after on his death
bed by an old and wrinkled man, the last
of the band that met that night

in LimehOuse, London. \ sailor was being

lathered chin and rubiCund nose suggested
the idea of a red carrot on the top of a

evidently had his hands full, il requiring
the most careful dexterity to escape slicing

n nObieman residing at a castle in Italy
was about to celebrate his marriage feast.
All the elements were prOpitiOus except the
ocean, which had been so bOisterOus as To
deny the very necessary appendage of fish
On the very morning Of the feast, however.
poor fisherman made his appearance with
turbOt so large that it seemed to have been
created for the occasion. Joy pervaded the
castle, and the fisherman was ushered with
his prize into the saloon, where the noble
man, in the presence of his visitors, request
ee him to put what price he thought proper
on the fish, and it should be instantly paid
him. One hundred lashes, said the fisher
man, on my bare back, is the price of nv
fish, and | will not bate one strand of whip
cord on my bargain. The nObleman and his
guests were not little astOnished, but our
chapman was resOlute, and remOnstrance
was in vain. At length the nObleman ex-
claimed, Well, well, the fellow is a humOr-
ist, and the fish we must have, but Law on
lightly, and let the price be paid in our
presence After fifty lashes had been ad-
ministered, hold, hold, exclaimed the fish
erman, | have a partner in this business,
and it is fitting that he should receive his
share. What, are there two such madcapS
in the world, exclaimed the nobleman.
name him and be shall be sent for instantly;
you need not go far for him, said the fisher
man, you will find him at your gate, in the
shape OF your own porter, who would not
let me in until promised that he should
have the half of whatever | received for my
turbot. Oh, oh, said the noblemau. bring
him up instantly, he shall receive his stipu-
lated moiety with the strictest justice. This
ceremony being finished, he discharged the
porter, and amply rewarded the fisherman.

Charles Dickens beloved home - the
dream of his youth, the delight of his prime
-Gads Hill place, is now for sale. He
bought it for $3.50, but improved it so much
that it will now bring five times that sum.
When he died a reserve price Of $50,
was put on the property, at which il was
secured by his eldest son Charles, who now
offers it to the highest bidder. In addition
to the associations connected with it, Dick
ems practically rebuilt the house, and added
considerably to the land originally pertain
ing to it. Among other things which Dick
ems did for the house was to make a well,
the progress of which was somewhat a
serious matter for hial. He used TO say,
1T is quite a railway terminus; it is so
iron and so big" Dickens made under
meath the road the famous tunnel which
connected his lawn with the shrubbery, in
which was placed the still more famous
chalet presented to him by Mr.. Fechter.
Up to the last Dickens was improving his
beloved residence. The last thing he did
was to build conservatory, and it was on
" on the Sunday before his death that he
had the great satisfaction of seeing it COM
pleted. He said to his daughter, swell,
Katie, now you see positively the last i'm
provement to Gads Hills.

a Wonderful Fountain.

One OF the most wonderful natural phe-
nomena ever witnessed was seen by large
crowd of people few days ago at the house
of MIR. Peter Taylor, who lives just outside
of Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. For some time
MIR. TAYLOR has had a number CT men Dor
ing for water in the southwest corner of his
grounds. When depth of about $50 feet
lad been reached Mr.. Taylor heard pecu-
liar rumbling sound, apparently issuing from
a hole, and judging that something unusual
was about to happen, warned his men to
move to a safe distance from the we'll
Scarcely had they done so when fountain
of muddy water shot straight into the air
with terrific force, carrying up the boring
/ pipe with it as far as the fasteHings would
allow, and scattering mud, water. and
stones in all directions. The subterranean
noises appeared gradually to increase in vio-
lence, and as they did so, the expelling
force, whatever il was, seemed to be pro-
portionally augmented until the cone
shaped column obtained a height of fully
/ $50 feet. Some idea of the mysterious sub
terranean power which supplied the motor
for this exhibition of natural water works
may be conveyed by the fact that stones
weighing fully five, six, and even eight
pounds were shot up into the air to con-
siderable height, while showers of rounded
pebbles of smaller size fell like hailstones
upon circle of several yards around the
hole. One large sized stone struck a tim
Der of the derrick in its upward course, and
glancing off, was thrown several hundred
yards into Mr.. William Taylor's grounds on
the opposite side of the road. The wind
was blowing pretty strong from the south
at the time, and the result was that the roof
of Mr.. Taylor's large brick hOuse-One of
the largest in town-and its south side were
bespattered with the muddy water, there
being actually a puddle of clay, pebbles
and water several inches deep on the roof
Showers of the same mixture were carried
over the house and for some distance along
the street north of his lot. After the extra
ordinary spectacle had lasted for nearly an
hour and half. the fountain appeared to
make one last grand effort to do better than
It's best, and then gradually TO lose its as
ccnding force. The series of Jerking leaps,
for the eNpelling power seemed all along to
be irregular and intermittant rather than
cDntinuous-became weaker and weaker;
the steady whirring sound which accom-
panied the exhibition, and which can best
he described as resembling very closely the
noise of a steam fire engine, gradually les
sened, and at about 80 Mr. Taylor was
rather relieved TO find that his magnificent
but inconveniently powerful lawn-spunkler
had disappeared. for the present at least,
within subterTanean recessses The rumb-
ling sound continued for few minutes and
then ceased. though the water which filled
up the pipe to within twenty-three feet of
the surface of the earth was disturbed for
some time afterwards by bubbling noise.
