what? l do not know. 1t was fear; that
was all.
We remained motionless, pale, expect
ing some frightiul event, with ears alert,
with %throbbing hearts, startled at the
slightest sound. And the dog set out to
30 around the room. shifting at the walls,
trembling all the time. This beast was
making us all crazy! Then the peasant
who had brought me to the place threw
himself OH the dog, in a sort of paroxysm
of furious terror, and opening the door
leading to q little yard, flung him out.
He was quiet at once, and we remained in
a silence still more terrifying. And sud-
denly, all of us at once, we had a start.
A being glided against the wall on the
outside where the forest was: Their it
passed against tho door, which it appear
ed to try with a nesitating hand; then
nothing more was heard for two minutes.
which drove us wild; then it came back.
always rubbing against the wall: and it
scratched lightly as a child might scratch
with its nails, then suddenly a head ap-
peared against the peep hole, a white head
with cleaning eyes like those of Il deer;
and a sound came out of its throat, an in.
distinct sound, a plaintive murmur Then
a formidable noise resounded in the kitch-
en-. The old guard had fred, and the SONS
rushed forward at once, closing the peep
hole by setting up against it the large
table, which they steadied with the side
board. And l swear to you that at the
noise made by the gun, which l was not
expecting, l had such anguish in m.
heart, my soul, and my body that L felt
myself fainting, ready tn die of fright.
We remained there until daybreak, UNI
able to move, to speak a word, covering
in an u~nspeakable terror. They did not
dare to take down the barricade of the
door until they saw a slender ray OF light
making its way through IL crack over the
door.
AT the base of the wall, against the
door, the old dog was lying; his jaw brok-
Ell by a bullet. He had come out from the
yard by burrowing Il hole under the fence.''
The man with the brown face was quiet.
Then he added:
THAT night, however, l really ran no
danger. But would much prefer to live
over all the hours in which l have suffer
ed the most terrible perlls, than that
single minute when the gun was fired al
the bearded head in the p%eep-hoIe."

She's a lady-she don't care;
She won't let her grandma see
She can pout-she wouldn't dare.
For abe knows that it would shock her.
And how naughty that would be,
And that grandma wouldn't rock her
In the cradle-doesn't she?
What bad little girl is snarling
For her playthings? Idon't know;

A MOMENT OF TERROR.

We had all come up on deck after din
neg. Before us lay the Mediterranean
without a wrinkle on all its surface, across
which a big calm moon threw rays that
gave it the look of watered silk. The
great boat glided along, throwing out
against the sky, which seemed sOwn with
stars, along serpent Of black smoke; while
behind us the water, all white, stirred by
the rapid movement of the heavy ship and
beaten into foam by the screw of the pro-
peller, seemed to writhe and set in motion
so many lights that one would have said
they came from a boiling moon. We
were there, six or eight of us, silent. adj
miring, looking toward the distant Africa
whittier we were bound. The captain.
who was smoking his cigar in our COM
pany, took up the topic of conversation at
the dinner-table.
"Yes,n said he, II was frightened that
time. My ship lay for six hours with the
rock through her hull, tossed about by the
sea. Fortunately, we were picked up by
an English coaler that had caught sight of
U.S."
But a large man. with a bronzed face OF
grave aspect, n of those men that you are
sure have been through unknown lands, and
whose tranquil eyes seem to preserve in
their depth something of the strange coun-
tries they have seen-a man that you feel
is tempered, as it were, with courage,
spoke up for the first time:
"Y0u say, captain, that you were fright
ened. l do not believe it. You deceive
yourself in the word and in the sensation
that you experienced. A man of energy
is never frightened in the face of pressing
danger. He is moved, agitated, anxious,
but fright is another matter"
Then the man with a bronze tint went
on in a deliberate manner to explain and
tell US an incident from his own expert
ence.

northeast of France. Night had come on

heavy clothing. We were to get our sup

keeper OF the forest, not far off. l had
come to the place to hunt. Once in a
while my guide raised his eyes and MUIR

both married, lived with him.

READING ALOUD.
A Pleasant Form of Entertainment for
the Home Circle.

A Pleasant Form of Entertainment for
the Home Circle.
Really, it is hard to imagine any fam
lily, any knot of friends, as complete
without the habit of reading aloud.
What more pleasant way of passing a
winter evening by the fire, summer
afternoon under the trees, a rainy
morning in the nursery. an otherwise
irlsome hour in the room of the conva-
descent? What means of unifying
family interest and sympathy and
taste. 1t doesn't leave anybody out, as
is the case when one must perforce
sew, and another pores over an absorb
ing book, without so much as a word to
throw to dog across its cover. Then
it leads to discrimination in the choice
of books. Trash that might be INDUCED
in alone really seems too cheap to
occupy a whole family. From the best
stories, and these are many and price
less, the demand reaches out to biogra-
ply, travel, history, poetry. 1t seems
a delight to associate books with the
places and companions where and with
whom they were read. The interest of
all combines to strengthen and sweeten
ties and memories.
IL is as well worth ones while to
learn to read well as to sing we'll Per-
haps, in the long run, reading aloud
goes even beyond music as factor in
the most delightful home life. Shut
fling, stumbling, nasal reading is far
from pleasure-giving, and almost as bad
as airish elocutionary efforts kept up by
the hour. A simple, fluent, straightfor-
ward way of getting over the pages is
best, with natural pitch of voice that
comforts alike the readers throat and
the listeners ear.-Examiner.

Among the tales of the roundup Of
cattle west of the Missouri river that
have drifted into the border towns, a
Chamberlain Is. d. correspondent
writes. is one with a flavor of romance.
When the cattle men had cleaned up
the reservation and closed the Chey-
enne the camp was visited one evening
by party from neighboring ranch,
one of whom was a charming young
lady from the cast, Miss Lettie Barton.
She was delighted at the novelty of the
scenes at camp, and readily accepted an
invitation from Alexander Kenyon, one
of the outfit, to take canter over the
bluffs to the river.
They were neari ng the bluffs, when
suddenly black steer rushed out from
clump of bushes. The horse which
the young lady rode took fright, be-
came unmanageble, and bounded away
toward the river Kenyon tried in vain
20 overtake her and grasp the rein of
her horse. His horses best efforts
could not bring him near enough to ac-
complish the feat. As the two horses
rushed up the bluff sheer precipice
fringed with tree-tops appeared a few
rods ahead, but Kenyon, who had an
ticipated the danger, suddenly refined
in his horse and swung his rope lariat
about his head and sent it coiling into
the air. The loop fell about the Shout
ders of the frightened girl. The cow
boys horse reared back, the rope tight
ened, and the girl was lifted from the
saddle and drawn TO the heavily tufted
prairie sod. The girl, half unconscious,
was borne back to camp by her cava-
lier, who was prouder of his exploit
that the cowboy who beat the steer
roping record last year. The riderless
horse plunged over the precipice and
killed. Chicago Tribune.

The weeping" Eye.

A great many people will remember
a practice that was common about fifty
years ago of rubbing the eve in pc
Gu lar way, from the outer to the inner
corner, the result being. as was sup
posed. to strengthen the sight The
practice originated with President John
Quincy Adams. who had what is called
"a weeping eye. disease having closed
some of the ducts. so that he was forced
TO wipe away the overlooking moisture
about once in every five minutes. lie
always wiped his eye from the outer to
