.. CHAPTER XIII.
MADELINE GRAHAM.
z es; 1 knew her in a moment.

Yes; knew her in moment
The lurid light Of the tempestuous morn
ing shone full upon her face, and the cling.
ing dress and cloak, which more expressed
than hid her lovely form. Her eyes were
wildly fixed, her face pale as death; but In
her features there was q splendid self-pos-
session far removed from common fear.
Though so many years had passed since
we had last met she was still the same; only
taller and more womanly, and even more
strangely beautiful than when she had first
shed love and rapture on my boyish heart.
She was fastened TO the mast by a rope.
Her feet were bare, and saw, to my horror,
that all she wore save the great fur cloak
was nightdress of white cotton, reaching
to her feet Her hair fell over her shoulders
In loose and dripping folds, descending al
most TO her waist Peering more closely,
perceived that her lips were blue, and her
form shivering with cold; indeed, it was a
miracle that she had not persisted In the chill
OF that cruel night
From that moment saw nothing but that
one figure; all others were blurred and prac-
tically unseen. In my wild amazement and
eagerness to reach her, could have sprung
into the tossing waves.
Inc vessel lay sluelOnB, neI uecks tuuhcu
toward the shore; and fierce pillows, strik-
Ing her seward sides, broke with thunder
Gus roar and cloud of spray, and then came
surging down the slippery decks in thin
sheet of foam, boiling round the naked feet
of the solitary maiden.
We hung off for minute, to let one great
sea go by; then we swept alongside. What
followed was more like a dream than wax
ing reality. But with an eager cry 1 leaped
upon the deck, and staggered up toward
Madeline Graham.

Never shall l forget that sight! Just in
the lee of the crippled vessel, under the cloud
OF white smoke which rose for a moment
high above her remaining mast, there was
heaying patch where the boat could float in
safety; but beyond il, and nearer to us the
waves rose again in awful crested pillows
whirling and swirling toward the Shore

seemed a mere cockle-shell; but we saw the

Any description Of the business-lil1e ways
Of the garapatos would be, TO those who
a v a personal acquaintance with them,
wanting in that fresh and lively interest
which follows a FIRST introduction, and it
might be cruelty to anticipate the joys of a
first experience by describing the way in
which the little brown villains light upon
the t~raveler from every bush against which
he brushes, crawl into his clothing from
every log upon which he incautiously seats
himself, and from every grassy bank upon
which he thoughtlessly r~eclines; how they
excite his sensibilities by travelling indus
t~riously over his unaccustomed and tick
ush skin, prospecting for a tender and
juicy spot wherein to sink their heads
deeply, and thus establish claims from
which not death even, nor dismemberment,
shall separate them.
Once comfortably settled in a pleasing
spot, the woodtick gives up his rowing hab-
its and devotes himself to the business of
sucking up the blood Of the gringo. until
in time he wakes fat with rich feeding, be
comes pulled up with much consequence,
and develops into a rich, dark-red pauch,
big as a currant and as round, with legs Of
little moment and an insignificant head,
the most NOBLE function Of which is to pro-
vide plentiful supplies to the stomach

manner, his loud voice, his inimitable cork
screw signature, his fervent patriotism,
and his equally fervent and carelessly pict-
uresque language, all combined to attract
attention to him. He was one Of Mr.. Lin
coins closest counsellors.
Now he is in Florida. Mr.. Rogers, of
Danbury. just returned from there. tells
me: spinner is there for his health. His
daughter married the president of a bank
in Jacksonville, but the general refuses to
be cooped up in town. He lives alone in n
couple Of tents IN Pablo beach, sixteen
miles on. One tent is his kitchen, and the
other his parlor and bedroom, and he
seems quite comfortable. l paid my re-
spects TO the venerable camper-out, and he
said life had by no means lost its attrac-
tons for him yet. A tent on the beach in
Florida furnishes his ideal headquarters
for a rheumatic. "-Crohut in New York

At intervals Of a few years, the Brazil
ian colony OF Lourenco suffers from a re
markable visitation Of field mice, the latest
OF which, in 1876. has just been described
DR.. II. Won hiring. These creatures, ordin-
nrily not numerous, appeared in enormous
quantities. and In a few days destroyed
the fields Of corn, potatoes, clover, oats,
barley, gourds, pumpkins, and even weeds,
actually damaging houses to considerable
extent aud running furniture and cloth
ing.
The periodical occurrences Of these
plaques seems to be due TO the chief food
supply Of the mice, the seeds Of the
bainboo-grass, which at regular intervals
of six to thirty years, natures over a large
territory, and then disappears. Thu field
mice increase SO rapidly that, II all the
conditions which keep them in check were
removed, a single pair would bear a
progeny Of $1,000 individuals in a single
summer, and every living thing upon the
earth would be- consumed in a h~alf-dozen
years -Arkansaw Traveller.
