The Alligator Going.

The alligator, it is stated on good
authority, will soon be as scarce as the
buffalo. The hide of each has worked
its destruction. In a few years tho
last bison will have passed away, and
in a decade or less, the succulent pick
aninny can roll and tumble about the
Rsouthern lagoons without parting the
serrated jaws of the alligator. The
buffalo goes and leaves no sign. His
robe cannot be initiated by man. But
the alligator,s queer-marked cuticle
can be reproduced exactly in leather
and paper. The last alligator may
die, but his hide will go marching on
80 long us there is demand for it.

He sighed deeply while he copied

He was weak, and his spirits were
easily depressed; besides which he
felt presentjment of evil which he

Four hours after Clifford had left
Abbotsford, Lena arrived and made
her way to 1.-The Blaclxthorn," resolv-

as her lover had once advised. She had
nearly reached the inn without meet

her through the thick veil she wore,
when, to her horror, Judith came out
of shop on the opposite side of the

however, and the latter hattered her
