RED SHIRT, the Indian chief, was
taken recently to see large painting
of the ocean by Albert Bierstadt. He
looked at it with great interest, and,
when asked what he thought of it,
made an eloquent gesture signifying
the unpleasant memories called forth
by such a realistic representation of
the sea Mr.. BierStadt said that he
could not have been more delicately
complimented than by this bit of pam
tomime.

They were almost at Lockout. The car
riage gave terrible lurch at a turn in the
road. The horses were almost taken Off thei3
feet, but still there was no accident; the wiis-
dows of the carriage grazed the solid wall Of
rock without being broken, and in moment
the horses, now subdued, were trotting down
the hill toward the city.
But the fugitives had hardly escaped the
cut through the rocks when the pursuer en-
tered it. He had almost overtaken them.
He struck the horses white fanks pitiless
had saved Berthas life from the mad dog,
that the old horse, forced beyond his strength,
stopped as if lightning had struck him. The
blood welled in torrents from his mouth and
nostrils; he quivered like leaf, and then
felS dead in bis tracks. The rider shot over
the creatures head with the gathered mo-
mentum of that mad race, and struck the
jagged rock with sickening crash

Every moment Philip Breton's carriage
was bearing the women Jane hated to safety
and peace that her false heart had never de
served. But there were fleeter horses in Bre
tonville than his they could be pursued they
could be overtaken and dragged back Ill
greater ignominy than ever. 1t would be
more terrible for Bertha even than If the
blow had come while she sat serene in her
own home. TO be overtaken in flight would
cap her shame Jane threw herself INTO her
husbands arms. She kissed his eyes, his
mouth, his white neck; she covered his
smooth hands with kisses; twining her arms
about his neck she lavished the tCndereSt of
carreSsing epithets on him. Then she drew
herself away. Her black hair had been part
ly loosened, and as she stood hung well down
her flushed cheeks. She had raised her hands
and clasped them over her bosom; her lips
parted; surely no human being can resist
such wistful beauty as hers.
"Please let me GO"
But before he could answer she heard a
noise like thunder and rushed to the window.
She sees nothing, but the sound comes on
nearer and nearer; it comes from the hill.
Something white CLEANS in the moonlight.
"What do you seer' asked Mr.. Ellingsworth
carelessly, returning to his newspaper.
She holds her breath. Nearer it comes,
Philips white horse Joe on mad gallop.
But Philip is not upon him. Who is that
rider, with long, uncovered hair and pale,
haggard face! He strikes the maddened ami

now they seem flying faster than the wind.
The man is Curran. Let him be his own

CONCLUSION.

As the dawn broke in the east that Thurs
day morning, Philip Breton stood on the
deck of the steamer Salvador. The look OF
feverish watchfulness that had never left his
face for so long, was gone at last. The great
fear that had chased smiles from his lips, had
given place to a great hope. divine calm
and peace had come at last upon his soul.
Fate had seemed invincible. He had pitted
his beautiful mills and his home and his
hopes of glory against it, oil for the love of q
woman who had no heart for him. He had
conquered, and he did not begrudge the
price, this royal lover; for he had won the
love of his bride at last.
Below in her stateroom, weary with her
unwonted exciten ent, Bertha was sleeping;
sleeping like a child unconscious of the terri
Bile peril and infamy she had escaped by only
so much as hairs breadth. The hurrying
ship rocked her gently in the great cradle of
the deep and bore her to lands of undreamed Of
beauty; where the light of new eternal love
would be on everything.

might have been broken, but he only loses his

Not So Strange.
Exchange.

Who has not, at some time, stood meekly by while shop-gir talked of her personal affairs with some inti- mate friend, and wondered how tone small head" could enable her at the same time to sell her goods and enter tain her visitor? One person at least seems to have solved that problem. A gentleman one day went into small store to make trifiing purchase, and while the pretty saleswoman rolled up his parcel, she also told an admir- ing young man, who was leaning on the counter, the story of her last at- tendance at the debating club:
 "He was just as disagreeable as he could be that night" she went on, un- dismayed by double audience. "He said if Kate Hooper and I sat in the back seats and laughed, the committee would give up inviting us to come. Thank you" Gas she passed the cus- toner his change), and she went on with her story to it's bitter end of quarreling and parting.
 Still the gentleman fingered, and though she several times glanced at him in surprise, was evidently de- termined to prolong his stay beyond that of the young man, who finally took the hint, and withdrew. Then said the customer:
 "I have been greatly interested in watching you, and seeing how many things you could do at once. You seem to be able to give your attention to several occupations at the same time."
 "Of course," returned she, pert but fiattered. "Anybody must be stupid that can only do one thing at time."
 "You did up my package, told a story, put your counter in order, and gave me my change" said the gentle man, admiringly, "and, as one might say, at the same moment. Now, have heard it declared that a person can only give his entire attention to one subject at time. This is most in- teresting case!'
 "Well, I don't know as Pm any smarter than anybody else," said she, bridling, "but, at any rate, that's what I can dow
 "Oh, there's one thing I ought to mention," said the gentleman. "You know you gave me my change just as you were telling your friend that in- teresting story. You should have given me eighty-five cents, but in- stead you made it dollar and eighty five. It was very kind of you, but you must allow me to return it. Good morning" 1"
 So he left the girl who could turn her attention in so many directions, wondering, as she looked at that extra dollar, if she did not appear rather foolish.

White Natives of Africa.
Kan sas City Star.

Most people who have read Rider Haggard's tale of the great white race in Africa consider it the purest fic- tion, but such is not the case. South of Timbuctoo and north of Kong Mountains, in the western part of Africa, live the Foolahs, the white tribe of the dark continent. This tribe has good features, a skull mod eled like that of white man, and a complexion about as dark as that of the Italians. They were great slave traders in the old days. but they made speciality of the finest grades of cap tives, and but few of their own number were ever transported. It is said thst shipload of them was once landed on the coast of Louisiana, and that the Creoles, refusing to believe them darkies, set them free and hung the slavers.
 These Foolahs settled down in the marshes of southern Louisiana, and after awhile became civilized, and in that part of the state to-day you will find tall, dark, rather good-looking white men who have all the indolence of the black African, who are some- times as fierce as the Arab, and always hospitable and musical. These people are the descendants of the Foolahs, and their "May flower" was slayer. There arc strange people in this great country of ours.

 "Possibly you might think me a prejudiced witness, and in support of my views read you the testimony of your good Bishop Galloway of Mis- sissippi:
 "'The agricultural classes are con- posed almost entirely of the frugal farmers of the older states, who have come into this younger section to To- cate advantageously their large fami- lies. And they are from all parts of our great country. I have been pleased to note that persons from the different northern states identify themselves readily with our people and become important factors in the localities where they reside.
