sour journey was coming to an end at
last. We were near enough to have heard
the barking Of the dogs at the mine, but
strange it was that not note of welcome
came from either Fray, Blanch, or Sweet
heart As we were constantly on the watch
for some marauding band of Indians, it
was the custom OF party APP
preaching the mine to shout
at the bottom Of the mountain
and disregard of the custom, was liable
at any time to make the offender the target
of our rifles.
81 shouted; no response. shouted again
and held my breath to catch a greeting
from either man or dog, but the echo that
came rolling back from the mountain side
was the only sound that fell upon my ears
My head swan, my breath came short and
the foreboding of the morning came rush
ing back upon me with ten fold force-I
knew that something horrible had happen
ed, and nerved myself to probe the matter.
Boys / said to my comrades, ''some-
thing is wrong at the mine, will you see me
through" Yes" came from each pair of
compressed lips, and knew that could de-
pend upon them. Turn all but your sad
die mules loose in the mosquito bushes at
the mountain side and come to me again" /
said, and sooner than / can tell you, the
mules were at liberty. Boys" | said
again, foul work has been done here, and
there is no reason for offering new victims
to the sacrifice; so ride with me up to our
dwelling, stand by our animals while en-
ter the building, and if you hear a shot
fred, put spurs to your animals and get
away, for the enemy will be too numerous
for you to fight, So up the rocky path we
rode, every hoof stroke seeming to make
sound that could be heard for miles, and at
last pulled up in front Of our quarters.
Not q sound was heard, all was still as the
breast when the spirit has departed l
and with spurs jingllng crossed
the little piazza wherein we had pulled our
pipes in bachelor comfort for so many
pleasant summer evenings. drew aside
the blanket that served as a door to our
habitation and stepped quickly into the
apartment, not caring to offer myself so fair
a target to an enemy that might be concealed
in the darkness, heard a strange noise, it
sounded as though some one was breathing
IN great pain, and then it ceased. | had
advanced but a few feet into the room
when | stumbled over something that |
knew in moment was corpse. | shud-
dered as | touched it, but finally drew
forth one Of two matches that | had in my
pocket, struck it, held it aloft and behe.d
as it blazed up, vuture tapping through
the window near the roof. The second
match was lit and watched it carefully
for it was my last,) until it burned stead
ly; turned it down and beheld my cousin,
with his breast riddled with bullets and
the point of bowie knife showing at his
throat, where it had been driven from the
pack of his neck.

VitriOl Throwing in France.

l. "a
Cases of vitriol throwing are becom-
ing so general in France that it would
be difficult to chronicle all more or less
successful attempts at Disagreement by
means of the corrosive liquid which are
almost daily committed by Jealous
spouses and abandoned sweethearts.
Unfortunately the hand, especially the
female hand, when bent on deeds of
vengeance, becomes unsteady. and is
apt to infiict unmerited injuries on those
who happen to be, in close proximity to
the intended victim. A young woman
named Hortense Fabre has just been
tried for throwing vitriol at her lover in
Toulouse. Intent on taking a terrible
revenge on ayoung tradesman by whom
she had been abandoned, she sought
him out in a cafe where he was unsus-
pectingly playing cards with his brother
and q friend, and, drawing a bottle of
vitriol from her pocket, flung the con-
tents at the group, without taking par
ticular care only to direct her aim at
the object of her revenge. The three
men slnstinctively raised their arms to
protect themselves, and fortunately the
damage done was only to their clothes.
Hortense Fabre, who pleaded guilty,
was sentenced to fine Of FIVE dollars.

! In Suffolk, at Dunwich, once the
largest seaport on the coast, the loss
has been very great. Monasteries,
churches and public buildings have at
different times been destroyed, includ-
ing four hundred houses at once. The
town is now reduced to small village
with about two hundred inhabitants.
In the time of Queen Elizabeth,
Brighton, in Sussex, stood where the
chain pier now stretches into the sea.
Part of the town was destroyed in 1865,
and in 1908 and 1905 the remainderwas
overwhelmed, consisting of one hundred
and thirteen houses.-AH the Year

The Fary Of the Lake Gsle.

|iii Do you know what it is 10 be at sea
with o. gale blowing eighty miles an
hour? You may read Of the wrecks
which to-day strew the shores of every
lake; you may read of the rigid, bodies
cast up on the sands; you may cast your
eyes over hulk and spar and battered
plank, but yet you can not, realize the
fury of that awful gale Of Saturday.
Vessels on Lake Michigan were bowling
along before topsail breeze, when, al.
most in moment, the gale came howl
ing down from another quarter, bring
ing q terrible sea with It.. Sails were
split into ribbons before rope could be
loosened, and masts went overheard
like broken sticks. No man living ever
saw such waves on our lakes before. In
an hour after the gale set in they were
running twenty-five feet high, In three
hours they could 60 no higher. of
Frankfort they were fully forty feet
high. and they ran with, the speed of a
race horse. The gale caught them as
they reared up, and tons OF foamy water
were broken off and hurled down into
the trough, to mingie with the base Of
the next wave. = One ofthe largest pro-
pellers on the lakes; standing twenty
feet out of the water, had to put about
before the gale was an hour old, and,
even. while running before it at full
speed the waves swept over her entire
decks. Seamanship availed but, little.s

When day broke Saturday morning
those out at sea must have realized the
wrath of death. Il Every plunge of an

was awful to hear. The passengers on
the Alpena were reused from sleep when
the gale reached her. 1t brought such
sea that no one could have slept longer.
When the four-score souls aboard were
told that death was near, they looked
out on that bowling, roaring, hungry
sea, without shadow of hope that one
of them would ever see land again.
Rats and boats would have been blown
about like feathers. Life-preservers
buoyed up corpses until they were cast
ashore to be identified. Those who put
them on in the final grasp for life could

Men who lived out the gale still speak
of it with terror. Only once again will
the door of death open wider TO them.
Spars and hulks are beating to splinters

sandy beach, to be wept over and
