of leaving the cave, trusting to escape,
but he refrained from taking the risk.
"The furies take 'emp' he muttered;
"they can shoot me down lire a dog
without my liftin finger"
He chafed at his helpless position and
blamed himself for coming again to the
place, while, higher and higher, the
great round moon stole up the dark blue
dome of night.
Still there was no visible change in
shadow on the rock. In his bewildered
state he never realized that with the
ascent of the moon its shape would alter
and it's position vary, OF if he did give it
passing thought it only served to in
tensify the mystery and increase his
fears.
Vainly he waited for it to disappear
waited, until to his feverish vision it
grew palmer in outline, until the
shadowy limbs seemed substantial, the
body the rounded form of living be-
ingl
II can't stand this any longerr' he
cried at last. II must take my chances
whatever they be-"
Freeing himself of the plunder he had
hoped to take away, so that he would
not be unduly numbered, he crept out
upon the shelf.
Not sound broke the stiffness of the
night save the ceaseless murmur of the
sea.
Now that his back was turned upon
the phantom figure, and that his hur-
ried survey of the scene discovered no
one, he moved forward with rising hope.
He had passed half Of the circular dis
tance from the cave to the end of the
narrow pathway without anything to
glance he saw the changeless shadow,
when the sound of footsteps reached
his ears
A moment later mans form came
around the edge of the cliff, and then
second and a third.
With low cry he turned to retrace
his course to the cavern, knowing that
once there he could defend himself
against dozen, but in his excitement
he missed his foothold and, clutching in
vain upon the ledge, he went headlong
down its jagged side upon the rocks be-
low.
A piercing cry that rang far and clear
on the night air, q sullen splash in the
water and deathlike silence followed
The newcomers proved to be some Of
his own confederates, who, anxious at
his nonappearance, had come in search
of him.
The smugglers were about to descend
to the side of their unfortunate leader
when they saw for the first time the
shadow of the cliff.
Without stopping to solve the mys-
terry they beat hasty retreat to their
homes.
The next day it was found that the
supposed shadow was the painted figure
of man, and, strange enough, Burk
Brandon's idiotic son had done the
work. He had come to the place in a
boat, and, having singular aptness in
this respect, had performed his self i'm
posed task with remarkable faithfulness
to nature. In the glimmer of the moon
light his fathers mistake was not un-
natural, though it had cnst him his life.
With tho death of their chief the snug
glers no longer continued their nefari-
GUS business, SO that Witless Jack had
unconsciously rendered an inestipable
service. That was several years since,
and though the figure has faded from
the rock, the place is known as the
Smuggler's Shadow.-George Waldo
Browne in Yankee Blade.

Montreal is probably worse off ia the
way of internal transit facilities than
any other large city on this conti-
nent. The snowfall is SO great that
three different styles Of vehicles are
necessary in order to enable the company
to carry on It's business. Cars are used

The End of a SharpshOOter.

1.-The best rifle shot l ever saw was an
east Tennessean who acted as scout for
the Army of the Cumberland" said Ma
jor R.B. Baer. His name was Brownlow,
but whether he was a relative of the
fighting parson of that name | do not
know. Brownlow was a tall, lank speci-
men of humanity and looked like a typ
ical frontiersman. He wore a coonskin
cap and carried a rifle a foot longer than
himself, with which he could put half
an ounce of lead squarely between a
mans eyes at a distance of nearly half a
mile. He fought for sheer love of it,
was always hunting for victims and
used to boast that he averaged a dozen
dead Confederates a week. He hung on
the enemy's picket lines night and day,
and when old Tom,' as he called his
lingering eternity of a gun, cracked there
was certain to be a death.
Zone day during a sharp skirmish
Brownlow ensconsced himself in a big
cottonwood tree, and was dropping Con-
federates as fast as he could feed bull
lets to 'Old Tom,' when a Mississippi
sharpshooter made a sneak for another
tall cottonwood about 900 yards distant.
The Tennesseean spied him; there were
two puffs of smoke from among the
green leaves and the two killers came
down head first, with their long deer
rifles rafting after them."-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.

an excellent one too.
Little credence is placed in the report
that w. J.. Seaman, of "Peek-a-boo'
fame, will soon be we'll enough to re-
sumo his stage work.

What is it, Willie?"
She spoke with excessive indul-
gence, as mothers I wont to do in
the presence of company.
DO you mean it,
Mean what, my child?"
THAT you want more light"
The minister beamed cordially
upon the youthful face. 1t pleased
him to note signs Of a religious
awakening in the boyish mind.
Certainly, my dear" the mother
declared.
we all need more light" the man
of God smilingly insisted.
The lad pondered for a moment.
We'll" he observed at last posi-
lively, 'all l a say is that you'd
better look out"

after considerable effort" says a
man and father, II think I have cul-
tivated a sense of humor in my young
son. He did not possess it naturally,
but 1 have taken home and had him
read the humorous papers and peri
odicals, have told him funny stories
that l would hear and made him see
the funny side Of things whenever
possible. And now l notice that he
enjoys a joke and sees the point with
more zest than l expected possible a
short time ago"
To take life not fippantly, but
humorously, is more than a valuable
accomplishment-itis positive boon
and blessing, and parents ought to
regard humor developing nor than
they do in the training of their chill
dren. When Charles Dickens created
Mark Tapley he conferred a distinct
favor on mankind, and the spirit
which helps III to be cheerful under
depressing circumstances" is the one
that is akin to the habit of finding a
merry side to the affairs of this
world.
There is a wide difference between
humor and frivolity; when we have
found the difference we cannot have
too much of the former. In particu-
lar do women need the leaven of a
joyous spirit. Too many + prone
to seriousness, which often becomes
absolute and pervading gloom.-New
York Times.

How Cheap Fans Are Painted.

The cheaper fans are painted by
wholesale. A long strip of silk, or
other material, is tackled to a board,
many fans are outlined upon it, and
then half a dozen painters paint the
same subject on each fan, each
painter laying a particular color on
the whole set. Such fans cost only
a few francs each. They serve to
aid the firtations of pretty French
shopgirls or to tickle the peasant
fancy in the provinces.
Flower fans of the more expensive
kind have found little or no sale
here, and are not imported much.
Many of the cheaper fans, ranging
as low as five or six dollars each, are
ornamented with painted flowers,
