I will not marry Lesley May, because l

me, and you do love me-"
A little shiver ran over her. His
words were so masterful, as of old, and
his influence over her had always been
powerful But she only smiled coldly,
and bowed and passed, and left Alliger
as no woman had ever succeeded in
making him feel before.
And, five minutes after he had taken
himself away from the spot where Irene
had left him, Lesley May crept slowly
up from beside the huge upturned surf
boat, where she had been sitting, think
ing, reading and dreaming sweet
dreams, until the sudden sound of her
lovers voice had startled her, and

Fales. "No doubt caused by impure
water, imperfect drainage. She will
need strictest care-strictest care: and
even then"
Irene lifted her calm, lovely face to

"Typhoids are always uncertain, my
dear Miss Iredell, and in a measure in

canton, you need not be personally

1She silenced him with one of her i'm
perious looks.
Il am not afraid, sir. / intend to
offer my services as Miss Mays nurse, if
she is really in danger, and needs intelli-
gent care. l am used to sickness"
Nor had persuasions nor reproofs any
effect upon her. She quietly went her
way, and took up her post at Lesley
Nays bedside; and then, and only then,
in the girls rawlings, did she learn the
woe, the anguish, that was at the bot
tom of the terrible illness.
And as Paine Alliger had almost
killed her once, so now another life
hung in the balance on his account.
While he, in such dismay and despair
as he never dreamed he could suffer,
passed his wretched days and nights, ali
his thoughts centered on that sick-room
where the two women who loved him
were face to face with Azrael.
And then, one day, the news went

And again, as he tried in vain TO real

seemed to him that no such punishment

Does a Whale Spouta Water Z,

p&faaok, ,if&f1 be understood that the
blowing of whale is simply strong res
-pfx4tieu and that the whale,
is q warm -bleOded mammal with lungs,
like those F0f land animals, snd breathes
air only. At the moment of rising, to
the surface or SShe sea, he forces out a.
ptxpngEmwpt of air, by which the
small quanty of water then standing i'm
the-eavity of his spiracle or spoutipgl
hole is blown into countless atoms, form
ihg cloud of spray which looks like
white smoke, or, steam. The form of
this cloud differs in the case of different
species of whale, So that the practiced
eye of the whaleman can usually distin-
guish the, several varieties, even ~ q
distance of miles. This variety results
from rhe Observation-Disclosures and dr.
rection of the sriracle in the various
Opecies of whale, and also from the fact
that some species have only one spiracle
and others two. The current idea that
the whale takes in vast quantities. Of
water and elects it again in a solid
-stResm like that from fire engine is a
great mistake, and the pictures which
represent hipAsas spouting such streams
high aloft are simply ridiculous to the
eve of the whalemani 1t is not proha-
hle.-. that any water worth mentioning
ever finds its way into the whales lungs,
but when iaSf tally wounded he will throw
out copious streams or gushes, not of
water, but of warm, red blood.

Is life worth livingf Sometimes when
Dark clouds obscure our mortal ken,
And hope Is weak and fear Is rife,
We question thus regarding life.
o, foolish question--and how vainl
What II each pleasure brings pain7
what matters II II every Joy
Comes to us mixed with some alloy?
Life Is worth living for the work
IL brings Us that we dare not shirk-
Labor that can and must be done
Ere we can say the prize is won.
We VINO would climb the steep Of fame
WIN md the journey far too tame,
u 'nlong the flowers along the path
No sharp thorns sting us into wrath.
The wrongs and ills and pains Of life
Should spur us onward In the strife,
Our motto be: lie leads the rest
N no labors longest and the best"
