CHAPTER Xf.

Augusta woke up just as the dawn was
stealing across the sodden sky. 1t was
the smarting of her shoulders that woke
her She rose, leaving Dick yet asleep,
and remembering the turmoil of the
night, hurried to the other hut, 1t was
empty.
She turned and looked about her. About
fifteen PAGES from where she was lay the
shell that the two drunkards had used as
a cup Going forward she picked it up.
1t still smelled disgustingly of spirits.
Evidently the two men had dropped it in
the course of their midnight walk, or
rather roll Where had they gone to?
Straight in front of her rocky prom
ontory ran out fifty PAGES or more INTO
the waters Of the ford like bay. She
walked along it aimlessly till presently
she perceived one of the sailors hats
lying on the ground, or rather floating in
a pool of water. Clearly they had gone
this way. On she went to the point Of
the little headland, sheer over the water.
There was nothing to be seen, not single
vestige of Bill and Johnnie Aimlessly
enough she leaned forward and stared
over the rocky wall, and down into the
clear water, and then started back with
little cry.
No wonder that she started, for there
on the sand, beneath fathom and half
of quiet water, lay the bodies of the two
i'll fated men They were locked in each
others arms, and lay as though they were
asleep upon that ocean bed. How they
came to their end she never knew. Per
haps they quarreled in their drunken
anger and fell over the little cliff, or per
haps they stumbled and fell, not knowing
whittier they were going. Who can say?
At any rate, there they were, and there
they remained, till the outgoing tide
foated them off to join the great army Of
their companions who had gone down
with the Kangaroo. And SO Augusta was
left alone.
Fortunately there was but little rain
that morning. so Augusta took Dick out
to look for eggs, not because they wanted
any more but in order to employ them
selves Together they climbed up on to
a rocky headland. where the flag was ny
inc. and looked out across the troubled
ocean. There was nothing in sight 50 far

Last of the Buffalo.

There is small herd of buffalo on
what is known as the Red desert, not
many miles from Laramie, Wyo. A
party Of hunters recently returned from
there and report having seen fifteen
During their trip they captured two
with lasso, but both of them died, it is
said, from the effects of the choking they
received. One Of them was taken after
chase of two days. Mr. J. c. Robbins
was at the head of the party, and hi,
purpose in capturing them alive was to
add them to a private collection Of the
wild ANIMALS of the Rocky mountains,
which he intends exhibiting at the
Worlds fair at Chicago. He left three
hunters in the hills near the desert for
the purpose of capturing other animals

appncaulon was on DenaII or the executors
OF his will for leave to presume his death.
The property which passed under the will
was very large indeed; amounting in all,
MIR. Fiddlestick understood, to about two
millions sterling, which, perhaps, might
incline his lordship to proceed very care
tully IN allowing probate to issue.
The President-Well, the amount of the
property has got nothing to do with the
principles on which the court acts with
regard to the presumption of death, Mr.
Fiddlestick.
Quite so, my lord, and think that in
this case your lordship will be satisfied
that there is no reason why probate should
not issue. 1t is, humanely speaking, i'm
possible that Mr.. Meeson can have escaped
the general destruction.
Tss President-Have YOU any affidavit
from anybody who saw Mr.. Meeson in the
water7
No, my lord; have an affidavit from a
sailor named Okers, the only man who
was picked up in the water after the
Kangaroo foundered, which states that he
believes that he saw Mr.. Meeson spring
from the ship into the water, but the
affidavit does not carry the matter further.
He cannot swear that it was Mr.. Meeson.
The President-Well, think that that
will do. The court is necessarily adverse
to allowing the presumption of death ex-
cept on evidence of the most satisfactory
nature. Still, considering that nearly four
months have now passed since the found
ering of the Kangaroo under circum-
stances which make it exceedingly in
probable that there were any other sur.
vivors, think that it may fairly presume
that Mr.. Meeson shared the fate of the
other passengers.
Mr.. Fiddlestick-The death to be pre-
sumed from the 18th of December
The President-Yes, from the 18th.
MIR. Fiddlestick If your lordship
pleases.
Augusta put down the paper with a
gasp. There was she, safe and sound,
with the true last will of Mr. Meeson
tattooed upon her own shoulders; and
probate had issued"-whatevef that
mysterious formula might ~nean-to
another will, not the real last will. 1t
meant las she in her ignorance supposedly
that her will was no good; that she had
endured that abominable tattooing to no
purpose, and was to no purpose SCARED
for life.
1t was too much; and, in fit of vexa-
ton, she flung The Times out of the win
dow and cast herself back on the cushions,
telling very much inclined to cry.

On Sept. 12 a colored individual, who
gave his name as Joe" Hopkins, came
ashore in fourteen foot dory on Little
Duck island. Members of the lighthouse
department offered to take him to the
mainland, but he declined, and since
that time has lived on the island Little
Duck is entirely devoid of vegetable
growth, and Hopkins has subsisted en-
tirely on mussels. To procure these he
has been obliged to wade up to his waist
in water. He still refuses to go to the
mainland, but desires a new boat. He
claims that he is en- route for Africa,
having started from Nova Scotia.-Cor

ABOLISH THE MENU CARD.

It 10 Never Needed Mt Private Dinner.
The charm Of private dinner, says the New
York Times, is simply that it is private. Why,
then. allow its charm and sacredness to be de-
stroyed by anything SO obviously brought into
existence by the people and for the people al
the menu? A menu is .'bill Of fare" The
use Of the French word is an affectation; that
language, however, lends itself to the cause of
cooks, as well as it does to that Of courts.
When the foreign word appears at the top OF
the card in place of the English one the affecta-
ton continues through the list. Soup is
bouillon. consomme, puree, potage. A com.
mon stew is ragout. One from meat or game
or fish. already cooked, is salmi. Side dishes
are entrees A pie is vol-au-vent or pate. Be-
sides dishes are a la this or that, according to
their preparation and ingredients. Thus are
our dishes disguised. In adopting the mas
querade we pay tribute to French cooking,
ical, but we enlighten only a few in the funda-
mentals of gastronomy.
The menu, then, is only the list Of dishes to
be served at any one meal; its object is mani
fold-primarily it suggests, allows a choice and
expedites the business Of feeding. 1t is of use
when one pays price can control ones choice
and ones portion, hence the necessity for q
variety being furnished by servant Of the
public. 1t is in its place on steamboat, at a
hotel, in the restaurant or eating house, and
there II should remain. Its motto should be
"Pro bono pubico." For none of the reasons
given, nor for any that can be imagined, should
1t be allowed to show its brazen face amid the
flowers cut glass and silver of a home dinner.
In using the menu the private dinner is re-
counter; whatever is on the list of both is given

The remark is frequently heard, says the New
York Times, that ''Chauncey II. Depew must
have powerful digestive apparatus to be en-.
abled to eat 80 many public dinners" The
fact is Mr.. Depew eats very little at public
dinner and he drinks less. He usually gives
one the impression that he has eaten his dinner
at home before coming to the banquet. Such,
indeed. is the case with very large number OF
public men who find it necessary to attend
numerous banquets. Henry Ward Beecher
