81 love her." repeated the Spaniard
between his set teeth.
"Clarence."
She put CIR her hands to him with the
husheu cry.
Again he commanded Cola to release
her, and again the half mad Spaniard re-
fused to do so.
With a muttered execration, his tenn
per aroused at last, Clarence lifted his
clenched right hand and struck a heavy
blow upon the full lips of Cola Alverez
which made him stagger back and re-
lease the trembling girl.
In an instant the hand of the Spaniard
was thrust into his bosom, and with
mad spring and the fiercest oath of the
Spanish tongue he was upon Clarence,
one hand upon his throat, the other
lifted high above his head, a slender
knife grasped in the sinewy fingers.
Hilda gave utterance to shrek that
rang wild and loud through the building;
then a weird, white flame seemed to en-
velop her, to fill the room, to stream, red
and binding, upon the descending blade
of Cola's knife; crash which seemed to
rend the world sounded about her, and
she fell unconscious to the floor.
When she recovered Clarence was
bending over the sofa on which she lay,
his face as white as death, his form trem-
ulous, but life still throbbed freely in his
every vein, love in his eyes.
Others were in the room, but she saw
only him.
"You are safe?" she questioned, family.
Il saw the knife-oh, my darl1ngn' and

that none would come in time to save

The MOcking Birds of Yosemite.

Few of those who have sojourned even
quite a long time in Yosemite valley are
aware that it is filled with myriads of
hooking birds, the other sights and
sounds overpowering all else, and be-
side, the birds make their haunts as far
as possible from the places where the
travellers 90. The writer of this was in
that wonderful valley and was invited to
make one of a quiet party and ride down
to the Bridal Veil falls.
The stream that fell from that sublime
cliff was thin and transparent, and looked
little thing from that awful height
seen through this natural rift in the
trees which made fitting frame for so
grand picture.
The laundering Of the water into that
seething caldron ceased, and we looked
to see where it had gone. The wind had
swept that floating, misty veil aside and
dashed the bright drops against the
mighty sides of the mountain, where it
nourished millions of beautiful flowers,
and the misty veil swayed and swept
in a rainbow arch far aside, and silence
reigned unbroken for one moment, and
then burst forth the song of the hooking
birds in the treef, the bushes, the air,
until the whole forest pulsated in unison
with their song.
Millions of brown coated birds there
were everywhere, until the whole of our
very natures seemed permeated with their
music. Sometimes low and sweet, again
sad and plaintive, and then full, rich and
triumphant like pecan of Joy and glad
ness, while we looked at each other in
wondering silence. Just as it seemed that
the melody was unexpectedly sweet, and
that our hearts CO aid not contain more
without the relief of tears or shouts, the
wind died away and the water again
struck with an awsome roar into its rocky
hollow with force that made the earth
trembIe, and was again dashed to furious
foam and the song of the hooking birds
hushed. Thus it goes on ever and ever,
alternately, and has for ages, the song of
the birds and the thunderous reverbera-
ton of the cataract. Utica Observer.

GRAPE ON THE DOOR.

Crane on that dear old doori
Grape on that dear old door!
The dying sunlight's softest loveliest beam
Dropped on it's somber folds one golden
CLEAN;
The evening dewdrops wet the mournful
token
OF lonely lives, of happy circles broken:
And tears fell from the vine that wandered
DER
The rustic trellis round that dear old door.
One cherries wintry morn
That dark fabric swayed in the crisp air;
Again at autumn's dawn
It's folds unwelcome came and rested there.
Father and mother to the great unknown
Have passed in silence we are left alone.
Grape on that dear old door!
We were so happy there in days Of yorel
Here, father, mother sat;
At dusk their loving chat
Again hear; and sounds of mirth and glad
From romping girls and boys, strangers to
Our mothers mild reproof, ''The noisy
crowd
Our fathers smile when joke and laugh was
loud;
While she with careful hand
Tied up wandering flowers long slender
spray;
And he, proud of his land,
Praised the rank waving corn and fresh
cut hay.
Alas alas, we never, nevermore
Shall gather at the dusk about that door.
Grape on that dear old door,
Some tender hand hung purple wild flowers
DER
It's sad funereal folds so dark and drear,
And from their blossoms-blessed was to
An angels hopeful voice;
1t said: Rejoice, rejoice
In fair land where brooks and birds are
singing,
Where summer smiles, where fadeless flow
ers are springing.
You all will gather, never more TO roam
Take comfort, evening bringeth you all
home.
Homeward at close of day
When shadows lengthen over sea and land,
Homeward you'll wend your way:
When ebbing tides break softly on the sand.
In a new home all, all will meet once more
Where never Grape is hung upon the door -

Several days ago, when John L. Walk
er, a farmer living in LOwndes County,
Ga, was in his field picking cotton, his
attention was attracted by fuss made by
his hogs in swamp near the field. They
made noise very much like they do
when they come up with an unfriendly
animal, or perhaps a strange drove of
swine, and every now and then one would
squeal. He thought little of it, suppos-
ing they were having tilt with neigh
boris hogs. But he soon went to the
house, when his sOWs came up. One
tumbled over dead, and then another
and another, and the fourth one became
very sick but recovered. Upon examina-
ton he discovered that they had been
bitten by snake on the nose, and one of
them on the tongue. A man working
with Mr.. Walker proposed that they go
into the swamp and hunt the snake, but
he feared the undertaking and declined.
However, the other man went, following
the direction indicated by Mr.. Walker, as
near as he could locate the spot where he
heard the fuss made by the hogs. He
had not gone far before he shouted, ''here
he is" He found the reptile stretched
out carefully on tussock. They cut a
long pole and soon dispatched it.-Val-

Be changed to softest satin, and my maiden

A FLASH OF LIGHTNING.
BY MARY z. PRESTON,

IL am so sorry, SO very sorry" fall
tered the girl; 'pray Say no more, Mr.
Alvcrez; [ cannot listen to you"
The face of Cola Alverez darkened in
The darkened day. 1t was Spanish
face, with lustrous eyes of gloom, in
which swept flames that awakened at a
word; a low brow, straight nose and
full, lmpetuous lips; face in direct con-
trast 10 the hower-fair one of Hilda
Denton, with its shy girlhood and its
starry eyes Of gray-the face that had
enslaved him.
But [ will say more!" he burst out
passionately: ''can a love like mine be
hushed to silence, do you think? Can
a word from your lips quell the passion
your eyes have awakened in my soul? As
soon might your voice still a storm in
the ocean, [ love you, my beautiful
one, do you understand? | love YOU.
What lives have gone to shipwreck for
a love like mine? And you shall hear
me; you shall reply. Nay, you shall tell
me that your heart replies, or IT,
He broke off suddenly, for she was
shrinking from him in terror, her gray
His own face changed, grew wondrous
soft and tender, as, falling on his knee
before her, he caught and held her hands,
despite her struggles to free them.
MY love, my queen, he said, almost
IN whisper, 'tforgive this rudeness.

out your smile! Child, your little hands
are cold; [ could warm them with nv
kisses; pray heaven Jour heart may hold
warmth for me! 1 have made of you an
idol"
He lifted her hands as he spoke and
crushed his burning face against them,
while short sob crossed his lips which
told her more than his disjointed SEN
fences how great a love had burst to
flame in the unframed, impetuous heart
OF this child of Spain-this man who had
come from his own sunny land to love her
with love which was his DOOM"
Rise, I beg of you'll command
you" she cried. II must not hear You
[ wish YOU had not so spoken to me; l
am not free-I am promised wife"
\ low cry left his suddenly livid
lips; he loosed her hands, clenched his
own, and sprang to his feet with a bound
like that Of a panther.
"Whose?"
The question reached her in a sort of
hiss. Ere she could answer vivid,
lingering flash of lightning shot across
the sky without. Its blue light playing
on Cola's face gave it strange, fierce
expression; then a loud, reverberating
crash Of thunder, and silence, followed
in moment by the rush and patter of a
summer rain.
She was very pale, and her sweet face
had q look of pain on it as again he
asked:
''Whose promised wife,"
clarence Aram's; l thought you
knew"
KNEW! Would 1 have laid nv soul
at you feet if I knew2" he cried Gercely.
