Bearing AnOther's Sin.

My heroine. whom we viii call MAJ
garrett was a slim, fair girl of II, shy
and retiring to excess. She lived with
a young married couple, Mr.. and Mrs
Field, and was treated by them as one
of the family.
One evening Mrs. Field was out
driving with a friend, and as they were
passing Mrs. Smiths house, a SLAM
derOus report that was current In the
neighbOrhOOd concerning this Mrs,
Smith came into Mrs. Fields mind,
and she carelessly repeated it to he
friend in the ordinary conversational
tone. Mrs. Smith happened to be out
in her garden, and owing to the late
ness of the hour, and to the shrubbery,
she was not seen by the ladies in the
carriage. She overheard a greater
part of what they were saying. Boiling
with anger, she sent word early the
next morning to Mr.. Field that his
wife had spread an evil story about
her, and that she intended to have the
matter taken to court.
The first thing Margaret heard on
coming from her room that morning
was the bitter sObbing of Mrs. Field.
She inquired the cause, and was over
whelmed to learn the direfuI effects
that would follow if Mrs Smith per-
sisted in her determination to take the
affair to court, for Mr.. Field was al
ready heavily in debt, having gone into
an extensive business, and If he were
forced to go to law about this difficulty
his prospects might be ruined.
Then this brave little girl came to
the rescue. As it was late in the even
ing she said Mrs. Smith had probably
only recognized the horse and carriage
and not Mrs. Field, and that she, Mar
garet, would bear the burden, and say
it was she who had uttered the SANDER.
If the matter should then be carried to
the court there was no one In the world
but herself to suffer, and, although the
thought Of staining her fair reputation
was very bitter, she was determined to
take the blame upon herself sooner
than see her friends suffer so greatly.
At first they would not hear of it,
but she finally succeeded in having heI
own way, and then DOMINIC a hat,
started at once for Mrs. Smiths home.
She explained to that lady that she
and not Mrs. Field was the one to bear
the blame, but that she was very sorry,
and that the report should 90 no fur
ther, as far as lay In her power to pre-
vent it, and at last begged the lady to
forgive and to forget. And Mrs. Smith
did so, finding it was only Margaret,
instead of Mrs. Field, for whom she
had always entertained a violent dis.

had a circular letter of introduction
from Sir James Anderson, the man
aging director of the Eastern Exten-
sion Telegraph Company, I determin-
ed to pay these exiled electricians a
visit And then I learned that twelve
years ago an operator had shot tiger
that had come on the veranda and
looked in at the window while he was
at work, and that three months ago
another had been killed in a more or
thodOx way So when the next
steamer of the Messageries Maritimes
picked up her pilot at 4 a. m, off Cape
st. James, I tumbled with my things
into his boat and rowed ashore as the
ships sidelights disappeared in the
distance and the lighthouse began to
grow pale in the sunrise.
Next morning an Annamite hunter
who had been sent out by Mr.. Lang
don, the Superintendent of the sta
ton, to look for tracks, returned and
reported that he had built "mirador,

we started, Mitt Chat was his name or
nickname) walking and running ahead,
and I following him on a pony. We
were on a small rising ground, dotted
with bushes, in the middle of rough
3angIe of forest and brushwoOd. I
looked for the "mirador," and, not
finding it, I yelled an inquiry into
AIitt's ear (for he was stone deaf. He
pointed to a tree fifty yards away, and
i saw how marvelOusly he had con-
reealed it. He had chosen two slim
trees growing four feet apart; behind
these he had planted two bambOOs at
the other corners of the square, and
then he had led two or three thickly
leaved creepers from the ground, and
wound them in and around and over a
little platform and roof, till he had
made a perfect nest of live foliage. The
floor was about twenty feet from the
ground, and it looked perilously
fragile to hold two men. But it was a
masterpiece of hunting-craft. In re-
spouse to a peculiar cry from Mitt, two
natives appeared with little black pig
slung on pole, yelling Justify. The

is called in India) overlooked q slight
depression in which an OblOng pond
had been constructed for the buffalOes
to wallOw in, as the ugly brutes can
not work unless they are allowed to
soak themselves two or three times a
day. By the side of this Master Piggy

natives took themselves off with then

When the rosy day is dying,
And the night comes on apacs,
And the evening winds are signing
With g wild, enchanting grace,
OFT before my menoryis vision
Pass the forms I used to know
Faces dear and voices tender
OF the Long Ago.
Faces that the viOIets cover
On far and lonely tomb,
Lips unkissed by friend or lover
Smile and speak from out the gloom.
But too soon the dream has faded,
Like sweet music in its dOW;
They arc gone-the loved the cherished
