About His Brother.

Several years ago my brother,
who lives with me, had a very
strange sore to break out on his leg
about half way between the body
and which afterwards devel-
Oped into rose cancer. 1t resulted
from a bruise made by the rubbing
of the stirrup -leather while riding.
The cancer continued to grow un-
til il was about five inches long,
and three inches wide. The flesh
sloughed of, black, rotten and foul,
and it was almost impossible to
procure servant that would wait
upon him, the air in the room
where he lay being so foul that it
would sicken anyone who entered.
Every physician OF any prominence
in the State was consulted, and
treated my brother without success.
One doctor finally advised him to
try Swift's Specific Is. s. S.; he did
so, and used nothing else. He COM
menced to improve Immediately,
and after taking several bottles
was completely cured, and since
1884 not a svmtom of the disease
has manifested itself.

How a Couple OF Foxes Tired out Canine
Persecution.

How Couple OF Foxes Tired Out a Canine
Persecution.
In the spring of 1888 pair of RED
foxes took up their home on a Dakota
farm. They dug several holes on a
knoll in wheat-fleld, and soon after
four kits" or young foxes, arrived.
Every day, while narrowing and SOW
ing wheat in the field, says the farmer.
saw the two old foxes lying on the
little mound in front of their home.
The kits rolled about in the sun, played
with the bushy tails of their parents
and enjoyed themselves apparently as
much as a group of kittens.
One morning u neighbor came to
work in q field adjoining, bringing
with him dog, and the dog, with all
the curiosity Of his kind, soon began
the investigation OF both farms.
He was still a long distance from
the fox-dcn when l heard a sharp,
warning bark and saw the kits disap-
pear. As L looked, the mother fox
lay on the mound, her ears erect, her
nose on the ground, all attention The
father OF the family, with his big tail
swinging in the wind, trotted toward
the dog.
Can he intend TO attack himP l won
dered l had never heard of such a
thing, and the dog, though not a largo
one, was still larger than the fox. But
Rcynard knew his business better than
J. He approached the intruder until
the dog saw him, when both stopped
ior an instant, and then the dog gave
chase The fox, with a bark of de-
haace, turned and ran in a direction
away from his home.
At first the dog seemed TO gain rap
Idly upon the fox, but ] watched them
Tor nearly a mile before they disap-
peared in the prairie grass and con-
cluded that the fox was able to keep
out of the others way
In about an hour the dog returned
from frUitless chase, and fo1. time
he cOntentedly followed lis master
Then he began prov incaround again.
All this time the mother fox mad re-
mained on the mound. a picture OF
quiet vigilance, but now, as the dog
ventured near, she rose and trotted
toward him, and the dog was soon
chasing her over the prairie. Hardly
had they disappeared when the male
trotted back from some hiding place
and took the position vacated by his
mate. The dog returned after a
time, unsuccessful as before.
During the day he was again and
again tempted to a chase, first by the
male and then by the female, and,
while the one kept him busy tho other
watched over the young, who did not
show themselves after the first sight
Of the dog.
1t is hard to say which we admired
most-the bravery Of the pair in chal-
longing the dog TO race that would
have proved fatal had he caught
them, their ingenuity in taking turns
so that each might be fresh when
chased, their skill in leading him
away from their young or their clev-
erness in throwing him of their track
when farenough away Youths Com

CHAPTER VI

And now comes the story of Miriam as
heard IL from the hps OF Peggy CIarkson
and her husband during my stay at the
Hall After il, the sad, tragical end Of Sir
Rupert, supplemented by strange expert
ence OF my own while beneath the ancestral
roof
Twenty years before the utter desolation
OF the Hail little tad bio of mortality WAS
laid teRderly in Lady Percivars arms, and
great tears fell silently on She lace fabric OF
its dress, while her white lips murmured:
s'Sorrow's child" While the baby face
nestled unconsciOusly on the fair mothers
bosom the moJncr nearJ made agonized
moan over her frst-born. -...
This was the welcome Miriam received as
she lay wondering at the gray October
dawnng herslding her advent into this
curious world OF ours. --- .r1
Lady Percyal remembered the terrified
look OF the attendants faces when il was
announced that a daughter was born ''to
me Leddy."
IL was then that the legend of the house
Of the Percivsls came up before her with
mehacing power.
Down the ancestral lines lad come the
tradition, fulfilled to 4 faElt, they said, IA
the generations preceding this last Inflated
child.
When Lady Percival was vet happy
bride Clarllson had communicated 70 her
the story of the hereditary curse, cOloring

tail 10 prove its correctness. And this is

CHAPTER WI.

And after the scene closing our last chap
ter Lady Percival never saw another happy
day. From that wretched day on, until her
decease, her existence was but living
death.
Not many months after the death of LADY
Peroival there fell shadow over another
home beautiful country scat near Heather
leigh This one was the lovely home of a
FORMER friend of the Percivals. But it was
not the shadow of the silent reaper's sickle.
No, II happened in this case 10 Ia that of

home Of the Fairfaxes.

brol1enly: Miriam, dear, look up to me,''
and, the child obeying instantly, she con-
tinUed:
Father Is not angry, my child; some
thing troubles him very much, and mother
is sorry for him-sorry for US all. Is not
daughter feeling sorry for father, too!''
And then came the reply, quick and i'm
petuous, while the beautiful eyes flashed
with an uncertain light, and the pink, taper
fingers withdrew from Lady Percivars de-
tanning clasp.
II am quite solly for yoIt, mother, but not
solly for my father-1lot q Bit"
''Oh, why not, my darlingl' the stricken
mother made moan, as she burst into tears.
'''Cause do not love him veny well, -
Miriam replied in tone of apology. She
put her arms around her mothers neck,
and kissed her tear-wet cheek fondly
"But love you veny much" she supple
mented, while her sweet childish voice
trsmbled with fearful emotion.
Lady Percival took her daughters hand,
then, without further words, led her
back 10 the stately roof-tree which one day
refused even sbeltering care. The agony Of
soul Lady PeTciYal endured in that hour
had broken her heart. She was conscious
OF II as she leaned against the balustrade
for support before going to her rooms.

the twain entered the apartments, and
forthwith she began arranging the cush-
ions Of Lady Percivals chair. II seemed

The Establishment and Extension of Ara
Dominion In Africa.

NAS A@obAhit-AhhitNtt ana f1hNfii-ion OF Arap
Dominion In Africa.
But the problem OF Arab dominion is
not on the coast at all, bat in the in
terror OF Africa. On the coast the Eu-
ropean States can make their influence
felt but IL extends no further than 4
narrow strip of land, beyond which bar
barism reigns supreme. And here we
arrive at one OF the most remarkable
phenomena OF the age in which we live
and the planet we inhabit. The abo-
riginal inhabitants Of Central Africa are
savages, sunk in hcathenism, afflicted
by the evils and the weaknesses of
savage life, and perhaps inferior in
mental and physical vigor to the strong
er races OF mankind Over them has
passed, like tempest from the east, q
horde OF men Of another and a stronger
race, which marks them out for slavery
and destruction. Tho Arab invasion OF
Africa is characterized in every part
20 which Europeans lave penetrated by
desperate vaLor in arms, by an utter in
difference 10 human life, and, above all.
by an enthusiastic and fanatical belief
in the faith OF Islam. They remind
US Of those ardent followers OF the
prophet who, in the first ages
Of Mohammedanisin. bore his blood
stained standard and his intoleran5
creed from Spain TO the confines
Of China, and weIl-nigh overUhrev tho
faith and civilization OF the ancient
world. Indeed. If we are not
mistaken, they are tho same men
tho living inheritors of the pas
sions, the valor and the faith OF
the soldiers Of Mohammed Before the
strength OF the Christian States they.are
now compelled reluctantly to bow; but
over the unarmed and untutored native
races Of Africa they are supreme Ac-
cordinRly, what we are now Witnessing
in Africa, since IL has been partially
opened TO our view, is an amazing rec
rudescence and fermentation Of Mo
hammedan power. On the Congo IL is
not the native population, but the blood
thirsty Arab slave dealers, who oppose
the progress OF civilization; the natives
ask for protection from these formidable
tyrants. On the Nile the fierce chiefs
Of this new warfare have made Khar-
