fell headlong on the jagged stones, tearing
the flesh from his face and body. When he
arose, lettering and staggering, half-blind-
ed and dazed, his left arm hung limp and
motionless by his side, but his eye, wild and
haggard, shot around the chances of man
determined and desperate even to death.
Naught! naught! could he see! Naught,
except black, ill-omened bird of strange
form and plumage. Standing motionless on
crag that overlooked the deeper part of
the cove, it suddenly shrieked out in those
same weird, unearthly, frightened tones
that he had heard before; and, spreading its
wings, sailed YEARLY away toward the
pines.
With an execration, Fairfax hurled a
stone after it. Thrown with unerring aim
and tremendous force, the missile hit the
creature SO that it tumbled heavily to the
ground, where it lay fluttering in the
throes of death.
Fairfax glared at it with no other emo
ton than that of hate and glutted revenge.
A racking pain in his forearm now at
tracted his attention. CHANGING at himself,
he, for the first time, became aware of
his frightful condition.
Blood was streaming from various bruises
all over his body. His clothing hung about
him in tatters. His forearm was broken
and his shoes cut to pieces.
There was no fresh water at hand.
''Salt water is better than no water at ALL
I'll wash my wounds in that-sting
though they may" quoth he, grimly shut
ting his lips.
The dying bird futtered again.
With glance of rage at it and an oath,
Fairfax stumbled to the head of the cove
and, tearing off a fragment of his clothing,
was about to wash and bind up his wounds,
when he CHANGED to look out into the
deeper water beyond.
Utterlng cry of horror he at first re-
coiled, but, quickly recovering himself,

leading Republicans Indorse the Presi-
dents Tariff Sentiments.


Indications abound that the Presi-
dents recommendation in his message
at the opening of the Congressional
session are meeting with approval in
| the highest quarters in the opposition.
Among others of the party Senator
| Allison, of Iowa, who has been taking
vacation among his constituents,
has discovered that Mr.. Blaines idea
| for the disposal of the surplus is. to
put it mildly, a grave political mistake.
Indeed, the Iowa Senator is so con-
! firmed in this view that he informs the
| inevitable interviewer that the Blaine
surplus platform will never be accept
ed by Western Republicans.
On the contrary-and bear in mind
that Senator Allison is possible oppo-
sition Presidential candidate-he is
lists for revision of the tariff; that
Congress viii perforce be compelled to
act in that direction, and that the party
which fails to do its proper share in the
reduction of tariff taxes will be certain
to forfeit popular favor.
This Allison interview may be taken
as this able and popular leaders
response to MIR. Blaine's paris mos
sage" as the friends of that gentle
man choose to designate the Smalley
document which was so nimbly sprung
on the Republican party and country.
Nor is Senator Allison the only
prominent opposition leader who puts
himself on record against the theory
of taxing necessities while letting
deleterious luxuries go free. If Sena-
tor Allison's position is rather one of
opposition by implication, on the
| other hand Senator Aldrich's COT
Rhode IsIand) position is one of direct
opposition. In an address to the
Providence Board of Trade few days
ago he makes a powerful argument
against the message from the French
capital. He says that all parties are
agreed that the revenue must be re-
duced, and adds: '.There is gen.
eral feeling among those who have
made a study of the question that the
annual reduction ought to be $780,
900, 900. l know of no Intelligent Pro-
tectionist or Republican who is not in
favor Of reducing the annual revenue
to such sum as shall be required to
meet the current expenses and the
maturing obligations of the Govern
ment.'
This is direct whack at the Maine
statesman's plan of dividing a big sur
plus revenue among the States for the
direct benefit of a class. But to make
its application more emphatically per-
sonal, Senator Aldrich adds: "None of
the propositions to collect revenue
with a view to dividing it among the
States or distributing it by extraordi-
nary expenditures is, in my opinion.
defensible."
The beauty of this last declaration is
that it kills two birds with one missile
one in Maine and one in Ohio-while
the Rhode Island Senator does not care
a copper who knows that it is he who
SHES the stone.

a.
Where and what was this place? He did
not know and scarcely seemed to care Per-
haps an island in the harbor; possibly even
the mainland. What rlattered it, Either
was all one and the same to him.
Onward he walked, head down, the pict-
ure of self absorbed sorrow
A lonely pine-tree stood back some dis
lance from the shore. Seating himself be-
meath it, he buried his face in his hands
Wearied and worn out in body and soul
was it any wonder that he should pass from
these gloomy day-dreams into the kindly
realms of sleep. And so it was, for he
slept; yet, ever and anon, moaned, or sighed
in his sleep.
Stealthily the sea-tide rose. The careless
knot slipped from its anchoring stone and
the loosened boat slid gradually back from
the shore and drifted far out to sea.
a snow-white owl whirred softly over the
head of the sleeper, and by and by startled
the quiet night with her weired ''Tu-whit
Tu-whu" that echoed far among the pines
of the wood.
Afterwards, large red fox came boldly
up, but seeing the alarming spectacle of a
human figure crouching down under the
fir, turned quickly about and scurried back,
in fright, to the forest.
Last of all, when the moon reached the
zenith, strange, dark bird came flying
YEARLY toward the pine and, as if exhausted,
sank down to rest on the topmost boughs.
Of singular form and plumage, it looked
and acted as if lost on unfamiliar coasts.
Then all was silent, until the dreamer
moaned. Startled, the bird looked down
and, finally, few to lower branch whence
it could see every thing below.
Again the unhappy man moved in his
sleep and sighed.
The bird turned its head to one side with
half-human look, and with a wholly-hu-
man Shrek, wild and shrill, spread its
wings and flew back in the darkness to-
ward the wood.
Awake! sleeper, awake and follow!

Deep Snow Along Snake River.

Before the recent heavy storm snow
laid six to eight inches deep on the
Snake river range, from near the
American Falls to Glenn's Ferry. 1t
is therefore likely that there is fully a
foot Of snow on the range at present.
This is a bad condition Of affairs, es-
pecially as the stockmen did not drive
their stock away from Snake river,
last spring, until the grass was
tramped down for considerable dis.
lance back from the river. Stockmen
recently returned from the range say
that the stock now there are COM
