of the settlement. 1t seemed incredible that
anyone could have entered the cabin so quiet
ly as to be unseen, and certainly no one could
have left it after the shots were fired. The
old man spoke again, and the murderer was
for the moment forgotten, but the words he
would have uttered died away in an artculate
murmur The ashen hue of death settled
over the wrinkled features, and the old
! Scotchman lay, like some giant pine of his
| own beloved highlands, shattered and cast to
earth by the storm blast.
For few moments nothing was heard but
the girls sobs, and Hexter stood beside her,
| his head bent over his breast. All observa-
ton was centered on the PROSTATE man when
| the calico curtain, which hid a small ward
| robe under the narrow stair, was thrown
| noiselessly aside and man darted out of the
house before hand could be raised to stop
| him. Both men started in pursuit, but outside
night was sc dark they were guided only by
the sound of flying footsteps and an occasional
lightning flash. Up and up over the rocky
hillside went the fugitive til he paused on
very brink of the chasm beneath the cIiI and
! listened to see if he was followed. The fury
of the tempest, for the moment, drowned all
other sounds. Great stones on the steep
slope, loosed by the flood of waters sweeping
down upon them, fell splashing into the
stream, the forest trees clashed against each
other as the wind tore off great branches and
hurled them to the ground.
AS he paused his pursuers gained upon him,
and were within few yards when a vivid
flash revealed thsir eager faces to each other.
Marcoe saw look of terror overspread his
companlon's face, while speedily gave way to
deadly hatred, transforming the naturally
mild features, as he realized that a living
man, not spirit, stood before him. With a
great cry he darted forward. "You villain
l have thought for three years l was your
murderer; now l will be, in earnest, if | can
get my hands on you!'
But power higher than Hexter had de-
creed otherwise. He was not permitted to
stain his hands with such ignoble blood.
Even as he spoke the whole earth seemed
to tremble; great sheet of rain swept through
the wood, as if the mountain wept in agony
a crash, as if its very heart strings were rent,
and the giant head above them wavered,
swayed forward and fell with mighty crash
into the abyss, burying beneath its RUNS for
ever the man who had wrought so much evil
to Duncans Head
Back through the night they went, with the
echo Of the fall ringing in their ears, but
Hexters feet, made swift by the burden roll
led from his heart, reached the cabin first
Bursting in he knelt beside the silent form
where the weeping girl still covered.
90, Jeanie, Jeanie | didn't kill Allen
Duncan's Head has fallen and killed him.
JeaEie, look at me. o, my darling, there is
no shadow between US now!'
Painting and dreanched, Marcoe reached
the door just as Jeanie, with all the represscd
tenderness of three long years in her eyes,
stretched her hand to her lover across the
quiet breast of the man who loved them both,
and turning silently he went out again into
the night.

NOTHING NEJV UNDER THE SUN
BY BETTE 7. ATCHEooN.
I've searched the authors through and
through

I've searched the authors through ant
through
In hope of finding something now;
Then concluded when had done
There's nothing new beneath the sun.
Those brilliant olbs that gem the night,
Uunumbered centuries share their light,
These fertile plains on which we tread
Are grave yards of forgotten dead.
Who in their turn like we did live
And all their youthful days did give
IN learning how to spend their life
In usefll toll aud noble strife.
The lessons now we connt bore
Our fathers learned them long before
The weary task we've just begun
Our fathers long ago have done.
Each year anew the fertile plain
Puts on verdaLt dress again
AS in the bg-gore days OF yore,
1t gladdcned those who'ye gone before,
4 nc same OlN IA " . vi Nv anu iVtit
The same old habIts sleep and eat,
A chaageless law supplies each breath
And watts us onward until death.
We tread the paths our fathers trod,
And worship still our fathers God;
And see each day the glowing sun
That Adam saw when man begun.
This is an ase of grand progress,
With shame ! really must confess
These worn out styles and customs too
Are palmed on us for something new.
The truth OF this has long been told,
In holy writ by one of old;
What skeptics dare this truth deny2
And be forgiven when they die.
Had he lived in this railroad age,
Whe4e the cars supplant the mud-road
stage,
He might exclaim perhaps with you,
This surely must be something new.
Or seen the Lightning spread the news
L 'l uiEldib udllOiO W lClNotg
Or talk TO friends across the sea,
He'd thus cOufcSs-"ts new to me-"
This man of old knew nothing yet
OF cOntentmcnt where his sun did set,
Where freedoms flag would float unfurled
O'erthis grand refuge for the world,
Progress in any form we're told,
Science, the arts, all else are old
There's nothing here that we can do
That would be COUNTED something new.
Could we recall the honored sage,
TO view the progress since his age;
He'd say at least when he had done,
"How things have changed beneath the
sun"
This boasted age of light aud love
Is late two thousand years ago;
Ills canonized and should be true
That meath this sun here's nothing new.
If in this age some grasping mind
Don't this mysterious unknown find,
Then say with the prophetic one
There's nothing new under the sun,
Then chain ambition, fetter thought
Aspiring genius, spare it not
Raze the proud temple science has won
Since nothings new beneath the sun.

ing two pieces of wood together,
after having placed into a slot
made in one of them a prepared
slip of graphite or other marking
material. But though it seems so
simple, there are a great many OPP
erations to be performed i'll dong
tins; such as cutting the large
wood into strips Ot the right size,
making the slot or groove in which
The lead has to be placed, prepar-
ing the leads of the required size,
firing these to make them firm,
then placing them by hand in the
slots of the wood strips, glueing
these strips together, and, after the
glue is sci, the two pieces OF glued
wood have 10 be rounded off and
polished, etc. The idea of using
paper instead of wood for pencils
is not now, but an objection to pen
ellis thus formed was the difficulty
ofsharpening, paper being so tough
that even with the sharpest knife
the jerking from the paper to the
lead caused the latter to snap off.
Then again the paper having to be
folded round previously formed
and hardened marking material
was tedious and expensive labor.
These objections to the use OF pa
per are overcome by MIR. Green's
process. The paper is first made
into tubes, a gross or more of these
are placed in a frame forming the
lower end of a cylinder, and the
substance to be used as a marking
material being put in plastic state
into the body of the cylinder, and
by pressure is forced into The hol-
low cenlers of the paper tubes.
The marking mat erial, which now
forms the center Of each tube, is
hardened by gradual drying dur
ing six days at increasing temper
ature. Up to this point the paper
tubes are simply tough cases, but
by plunging them into melted par
allin wax, the paper becomes of
such nature that il can be cut as
easily as the best cedar wood.
