much talked about. 1t is generally be-

been forwarded to the Queen at AK les

overheard between Mrs. Vernon and her
friend supplied the connecting links be-
tween the circumstances, and he sprang
forward again upon his mission of life
or death. He met two or three groups
of officers returning to their quarters
whom he would have questioned but for
his inability to use other than the sign
language, which they would not under
stand.
At length he reached the house, he
looked through window into a
lighted room in which were three
gentlemen and two ladies, and his heart
beat unanimously with joy when he re-
cognized his master. The others were
unknown to him. The hall door stood
open and Ariel entered. For moment
some strong emotion overwhelmed him
and he leaned against the wall, his
hands pressed to his heart. But quickly
regaining his seH-control, he threw
open the drawing-room door and stood
before the astonished group.
''Ariely' cried Marden, rushing for
yard and clasplng him In his arms.
"Ariel! my friendl my brotherl Whence
earnest thou, dear boy2 How didst
thou find thy master?"
Ariel gently withdrew himself from
the embrace. His face was flushed, his
eyes flashed through the tears that
could not dim their brightness. The
witnesses to this strange scene gazed
silently as If they beheld an unexpected
and brilliant tableau vivant at the
theater, and the first TO recover him

But Selwyn knew that the force In

must soon press him back. and while he

A Square Drill.

A feat in mechanics has just been
accomplished by The production of
machine by means of which square
holes can be drilled in metal Hitherto
it has only been possible to drill round
holes, but now square holes and, in
fact, holes of complex geometrical out
line can be drilled as easily as circular
holes. There are two machines for
effecting this object, one Of which viii
drill either round or square holes. but
the other will drill. holes of any shape.
The first of these is the Ainley-Oakes
drilling machine. 1t has. however,
spindle composed of three concentric
parts, upon one of which is set of
cams so arranged that each cam. when
brought into combination with the part
in which it works, produces at the
cutter hole of a given size, each cam
producing different sized hole. In
other words, in cutting square holes the
toe Of the cutter describes a square. 1t
is not possible without any drawings to
make the arrangement clear. but il may
be stated generally that the mechanical
details. Wills very ingenious. are very
simple and the results very satisfactory.
The second machine is the Tyler Ellis
drill. which is an outcome of the pre-
vious apparatus. In the Tyler Ellis
machine the spindle moves about the
center Of ball joint. and by an inn
proved arrangement of the working
parts, holes Of any conceivable math-
ematical outline can be drilled Another
point of advantage in the Tyler-Ellis
drill is that it cuts clean angles in the
square holes. whereas the AinleY Cakes
drill leaves slight filling of metal in
the angles, which have to be cleared out
after tire hole has been drilled Ii is
curious to watcl, the machine forming a
four sided hole in plate of metal, but
it does it in a very practical and effect
ual manner
The value Of these machines will be
found in engeering workshops and ship
building yards, whore gent numbers of
square holes are constantly required tn
be made in various parts OF machinery,
and would be much more frequently
made were the means at hand for
forming them. 1t is stated that the cost
of drilling square holes is no greater
than that of round ones. although lp
To the present time the cost mas been as
/ to 36-that is to say, a square hole
has hitherto cost to make thirty-six
times as much as a round one. The

[coPYRIGHT, 1890.

The shadows of night were beginning
to creep into the room when Ariel
awoke and began to recall the events
of the day, the central figure in which
was that beautiful woman of his own
blood, yet superior to all of the race
whom he had ever seen. His revery
was disturbed by the sound of voices in
an adjoining room, the door of which
was open, and he listened because he
could not help it, but soon his interest
was aroused.
Nine. Chevreul was speaking: "You
know, dear friend, how rejoiced we were
when Lemourier departed with his COM
mand, and vet never lost the feeling
that his hatred would find some means
to reach us, especially through De Bar
FAC, who is too proud to take precau-
tions. But l have enlisted his friend

he does not press his suit. She freezes

Nine. Chevreu1 arose and took her
departure.
After a moments hesitation Ariel
entered the apartment and bowed
deeply to Mrs. Vernon.
How handsome he isi'' was her first
thought, and then unconsciously aloud.
"How shall l make him understand
me?"
A desk with writing materials stood
on the table.
Ariel took sheet of paper and rapid
ly traced some lines on it, the lady
looking on with surprised smile. The
difficulty was solved. An explanation

his life as far as he could remember IL,

CHAPTER K.
JABE's METHOD.

At sunset Of the day on which Jabe
brought in the news that the enemy
was advancing in force, with the Hurons
in the van as usual, and through the
night the sentinels heard sounds which
indicated their proximity. The dawn
OF morning revealed an earthwork, sur
mounted by the branches OF trees.
through which protruded the muz-
zles of two small cannons.
cit is fortunate that this bank
of the river is the higher, "
said Renwiek, peering through
the intervals of the logs which for ed
the breastwork, else they would make
it unpleasantly warm for us. Let me
see If they are awake yet" He raised
his hat above the rampant and was con-
vinced OF the fact of their wakefulness
by the whizz of bullet which tore away
part OF the brim. 'Huronsi' he NUT
tered. "The Frenchmen are not so
quick on the trigger. They are too close,
Charley; we must push them back a
little"
As If TO emphasize this remark 4cannon
ball struck the log above his head, caus-
ing the bark and splinters to fly in all
directions. Then came two reports in
quick succession above hts head and the
smoke of the rifles eddied up from the
branches of great tree just behind him,
while shower of bullets from the en-
envy ratified against its rugged sides.
Again a puff of white smoke from the
tree followed BY yell Of rage from the
enemy.
THAT is JADE, quoth Selwyn
Gle asked my permission to post him
self up there, and he is picking off the
gunners. He has two rifles.
A shot from another tree on line
with that occupied by Jabe, increased
the confusion OF the enemy, and invok-
ed another Ineffective volley.

Jabe, ''and they're going to make a
move. Twenty men could take the
guns away from them before they are
reinforced"
"A good idea" cried Renwick. let
US try it, Charley"
Selwyn called to the other sharp
shooter: what do you report, Ward?"
"They are going to retreat from the
bank and take cannon with them out Of
