what of it? What is life but loss, loss

death we may find all the things that
we have lost. So your father taught,
Macumazahn, and there was wisdom in
his gentleness. Oh, do not believe in
death; it is change, that is all, Macuma-

drops of rain that were once water in

We passed she rest of the night watch
ing Hendrika. Presently she came to
herself and struggled furiously to break
the rein. But it was too strong even for
her, and, moreover, Indaba-zimbi uncer-
enormously sat upon her to keep her
quiet. At last she gave it up.
In due course the day broke-my mar
rage day. Leaving Indaba-zimbi to
watch my would-be murderess, I went
and fetched some natives from the
stables, and with their aid bore Hendrika
to the prison hut--that same hut In
had been brought baboon-child from
the rocks. Here we shut her up, and,
leaving Indaba-zimbi to watch outside,

dressed in the best garments that bah

looked at the reflection of my face was

doctored them up as best could, then
went out for walk to calm my nerves,
which, what between the events of the
past night and of those pending that
day, were not a little disturbed.
When returned it was breakfast
ime. I went into the dining hut and
there Stella was waiting to greet me,
dressed in simple white and with orange
flowers on her breast. She came for
ward to me shy1y enough; then, seeing
the condition of my face, started back
"Why, Allan! What have you been
doing to yourself?" she asked.
AS I was about to answer her father
came in leaning on his stick, and caoch-
ing sight of me instantly asked the
same question.
Then told them every thing, both Of
Hendricks threats and of her fierce at
tempt to carry them into execution. But
did not tell my horrid dream.
Stella's face grew white as the flowers
on her breast, but that of her father
became very stern.
'You should have spoken of this be-
tore, Allan" he said. 81 now see that I

but that would be more dreadful still. I
have been very fond Of her, and, bad as
she is, she has loved me. Don't have
her killed on my marriage day.

Mr.. George KEENAN,, tho Siberian ex-
plorer and exposer, is ono of tho most
entertaining conversationaiists whom
person can meet. He is q very unas-
suming man and very modest. Some Of
his most thrilling experiences will prob
ably never be put in print, or, ut least,
not for number of years, for, strange as
it may seem, Mr.. Kennan hopes to again
visit Russia ut the ond of two or thrco
years. Ho had very many narrow cs-
capes from death and the mental strain
produced by them was naturally very
great Ono of these which has not been

Nihilist's house. he had papers with
him which, IL found, would result in his
being instantly shot. He was informed
that the officers were on his track, and
would arrive at this house within five
minutes. Russian officers arc worry thor
ough when making search for any
thing of this nature, and what to do
with these papers was q most pertinent

CASTING A HOROSCOPE.

How tho Task Was Performed by tho As
trologers of Ancient Rome.
The general idea in casting horo-
scope was that the first hour of each day
was presided over by tho heavenly body
that belonged to that day, as set forth
in the French names for the days Of the
week, viz: The sun for Sunday, the
moon for Monday, Mars for Mardi
(Tuesday), Mercury for Mefcredi
(Wednesday), Jupiter for Joudi (Thurs-
day., Venus for Vcndredi (Friday) and
Saturn for Samcdi Saturday..
The second hour of the day belonged
to the second in this order, and SO on,
repeating these seven deities rs often az
was necessary until the birth hour was
reached.
If, therefore, wo wish to cast tho horo-
scope Of child born at a. nj. on March
2, 1880, we observe first that the day was
Tuesday and that the sun rose on that
day ct 6:34. The first hour, 6:34 to 7:34,
belongs to Mars; the second, 7:34 to S:34,
to Mercury; the third, S:34 to 0:34, 10
Jove, and the child, being born under
have jovial disposition.
A more extended and laborious cast
ing of the horoscope consists in celculat-
ing backwards to find the exact position
Of the planets at the hour of birth, and
what their relative influence might thus
havo boon upon each other. Tho heav-
ems being regularly divided into Sec
tions, If Saturn should bo found in tho
house (section) of Jupiter, his saturnino
influence would, Of course, qualify the
jovial influence of the lord Of that house.
