The fire Of an inquisitive old farmer was
until this moment unthought Of, and for a
moment Allen was little Disconnected. He
knew SO little about tho mission on which
he was engaged that he doubted if he could
make the explanation satisfactory to the
countryman, even II he attempted it. he
ovasively answered that they came from up
the country.
"Umph, humph! that your boy!" asked
the farmer.

The light OF the morning sun revealed q
still nearer resemblance to Bertha, and he
anew that the child must be very near
relative OF hers. She had not said how
nearly related the child was to her, or that
he was any relation at all. There was so
much hidden in the manner Of the beautiful
girl that Allen was unable to come to any
satisfactory conclusion.
At last tho little fellow began to show
signs Of restlessness He gave utterance
to inarticulate sounds and pointed down the
road.
II suppose he is anxious to know how near
we are to our journeys end nAllen thought
"If even knew, IL might be impossible to
get him to understand. 1t can not be over
ten miles, and | will try to tell him somo

The childs mind was very bright, and no
understood by the mods and gestures of his
companion that it was not far.
For several moments the little fellow was
quiet, and then he began to make signs that
he was hungry
"Poor httle fellow, no doubt you are hun
gry,n said Allen ''Thc first house we come
TO- we will try to get breakfast and have
our horse fed"
Unaccustomed to the saddle, Allen was
stiff, sore and weary in every joint. The
long ride, without moments sleep or rest,
was telling even on his iron constitution.
He drew rein in front of country house,
and hailed n farmer who was just harness
ing his horses TO 20 to his days work.

passing through the dark, silent village,
entered tho old, long-dcsorted turnpike.

Hunted by n Hare,

The Figaro published not long since
an account of a practical joke which,
unlike most practical jokes, has the
merit OF being amusing:
An enthusiastic sportsman went TO a
breakfast given at the commencement
OF the shooting season. The converse
ton naturally was of game, when sud-
denly in rushed a servant, exclaiminp
to the host that a hare had been seen
moving about the lawn. Out ran the
enthusiastic sportsman, gun in hand,
fired ut the hare and missed it
Tho hare scratched its nose, then
stood on its hind legs, presented a
horse pistol at the sportsman and fired
in return.
No one was hurt but the sportsman
was naturally astounded TO have the
tables turned in this unexpected and
surprising manner. 1t was explained
to him, and then his laugh was as
hearty as any ones. This remarkable
hare was a performing animal, which
had been hired from q neighborina
show. The sportsman's charge had OF
course been tempered with by the con.
hdential servant
