they were going to live on an island I'M
der protection of the chief of these peo-
pie; and that to reach it they must pass
through the country of the Rock We'd
dahs.
1.-THE Rock Vcddahs! Who are they?"
Arthur asked, when Campignon was re-
lating these details.
ibid you never hear Of the Rock We'd
dahs?" the Frenchman queried. "Then
you have yet to be introduced to
the lowest type of humanity, to whom
the Bosjesmen of southern Africa are
polished gentlemen by comparison.
They are indeed race of wild men.
"They are dangerous, wicked race,
and we have to go right through the
heart of their country"
"Stin if others have done it suppose
we can," Arthur said, with determine
ton.
"You nllude to George Archer and
his accomplices, but you forget that
they are under the protection Of the
swamp-dwellers, who are, l expect, too
powerful neighbors for the Veddahs to
exasperate."
'If you are afraid" Dunbar said,
testify. ''say so, man, and turn back.
As for ne, / shall reach Sir Harry Ora
hume, or die in the effort"
"And | shall stick with you to the
Inst, sir. When Francois Campignon
signs articles, he means to hold to them
as long as he can"
''And you shall not regret your cour-
age and honesty" Dunbar said, warmly.
When they reached the clustero of trees
under whose shade they had left their
sampan, they found crowd of ma
tives, who had brought every conceive
BILE kind Of meat and fresh fruit for
their selection, some even the charms
to warn OF devils and evil spirits
which they urgently pressed them TO
purchase. But a sampan, light and
buoyant rs II Is, Is only boat after all,

wherever he went; one held talipot-
leaf over him in his Wallis; another car
ried his stick of Office, and third beat
off the mosquitoes with q switch. AT
present he was unattended, save by q
half-nalsed peon who famed him with
n punkdh.
EIc was clad in barbaric pomp, yet
reelsed in filth, and swelled with i'm
portance in n balloon-shaped kandyan
hat, q flowing robe and loose jacket and
the usual muslin scarf. AS the
strangers entered, the korale sprang
from his hammock, with an agility be-
yond his years, and began to salaam in
tho most approved Cingalese style: but
Campignon, who had made his acquaint-
ancc in his trading trips up the Quagla,
in a few stern words put stop to his
capering ceremony.
Could they have fruit, dried meats and
bread? OF course they could; was not
all in the village at the disposal Of the
white lords, on whom might the light
of Buddha rest!
When the commlssariat question had
been happily settled, and orders had
been given to the villagers to carry pro-
visions to the sampan, excellent che
roots were lighted, and Campignon be-
gan to pump information from the
korale concerning the party who had
conveyed Sir Harry Grahame up the
river.
For many minutes they talked In q
dialect utterly incomprehensible to
Arthur Dunbar, and supplemented with
many grotesque gesticulntions; but the
conference was evidently unsatisfac-
to Campignon, for no suddenly turhed
to Arthur and said, petulnutly: .
1--WE must grease the old Villains
palms; he either knows nothing, or will
say nothing"
"Promise him anything you like"
was the prompt accession. -. i"
In q moment Campignon jingled q
handful Of rupees before the old mans
eyes.
Then followed q torrent Of ejacula-
tions. little less unintelligible than the
chattering of n baboon. But the willy
Frcnchman extracted o meaning from
tho flood Of sound.
1.-THE old sinner bites Mt the bait, but
insists on having hundred rupees. as
he very naivcly says the other party
have promised him that if he holds his
tongue. What say you?"
"Accede to any terms"
The information given by the korale
was we'll worth the investment.
He said that six months ago two large
sampans passed up tho river, contain
ing three Europeans and eleven Malays;
that one of the white men was deathly
sick; that he recognized the natives as
swamp-dwellers, u tribe of great feroc-
ity who inhabited tract Of country
two hundred miles up the river, and
chiefly lived by piracy md acts Of
plumber; that the white men told him

THE LESSON OF ST. AUGUSTINE.

Alone upon the lonely strand,
In thoughtful mood the preacher PAGES,
Ills footsteps printed In the sand,
The rinpling water soon ciiaccs:
Alone with thoughts high-ralscd and grand,
With Heavens profoundcst mystery dealing,
clio walks unhccding sca OF land
Till shadows urc about him stealing.
Absorbed In mcditatiors deep,
His mind o'crtaslscd with anxious broodhg.
As visions come TO w In sleep,
He feels presence mild intrudng;
Upon that narrow stretch OF sand
Ho secs u child before him STOPPING.
And with worn shell In Its hand
hollow In the loose earth scooping
Thus o'cr the spot In labor bent,
The child tolls till his works completed,
e3ut s:ill upon his plan intent,
Beside the basin he is seated;
Within the hollow OF his hand
He takes the water OF the ocean,
And pours II In tho loosened sand,
Through which Il runs with unchecked mo-
ton
The preacher haits beside the youth,
And seeks his purpose to discover;
The boy looks up and says with truth:
ut IL to put the ocean oyer
Into this basin made byede-
a plan contrivcd by my invention
That may have its mystery
With the scope Of comprehension"
.''lrnpossiblcl" Augustine cries.
"Wth means like these TO drain the ocean;
And sec, the sandy basin dries
Before your hand repeats Its notion
."No less absurd" the angel says,
'Is that attempt OF yours 10 measure
The scope OF Gods vast purposes,
To count His loves cxhaustlcss treasure

the tenor Of discussion at the gas Office,
Wednesday evening, when the Commits

gentleman that his arrival in Wheeling
would be delayed, and knowing the i'm
possibility of proceeding in business
manner without Mr.. Seeley, he had asked

THE LATEST ABoyr REED.
He Was Near Midway Until Last Friday
Believed to Have En- .t CI,vsy,Ile

He Was Near Midway Until Last Friday
Believed to Have Been at CIaysviIle.
Chief of Police .Iohn A. Orr arrived
back In Little Washington from the neigh
borhood OF Midway yesterday morning,
where he had been On the lookout for
Martin Reed since Mohdav of this week.
While he did not succeed in capturing
the fugitive, he learned beyond a doubt
that Reed was In that neighbCrhood up
until last Friday, and was seeh by nu-
merous people, the majority OF whom
are friends Of the man, and who are
aiding, in every possible way, his
escape. 1t seems that he has friends all
over that part of the county. Chief Orr
did not state whether he had any clues
as to his present whereabouts, and 1t Is
not likely he would make them public
in case he had.
Another clue is reported. On Satur-
day evening man came to the house
of a Mr.. Knox, who lives TO the right Of
Claysville, and asked for something TO
eat. This was given to him. Mr.. Knox
went out OF the house and his daughter
followed him and expressed to him the
belief that the man was the much
wanted Martin Reed. Mr.. Knox had
not thought of the matter at first, but
he then remembered that the stranger
was tall man, heavy built, with large
mustache and red face. His hat was
worn on the back of his head In a care
less manner, and revealed scar on the
forehead. All this tallies exactly with
Reeds description. Mr.. Knox hastily
returned to the house TO investigate,
but the man had left, taking his supper
with him. The Knox family are conf
dent that the stranger was Martin Reed.
That the fugitive has succeeded In
eluding his pursuers fer two weeks
shows that he is possessed of more
shrewdness than was credited to him, or
that he has powerful friends working In
his behalf. The general belief is that
he latter theory is correct.

HAMMER SNAKES
Which Huul California Quail and XIII Them
With Thar Tails.

A letter from DIR. r. Il. Brown says
he and party have made a most
wonderful discovery In Kings river can
yon. In crossing a small creek they
came to beautiful canyon or basin Of
about three acres Of level meadows,
three hundred feet high. A fine stream
of cold. clear water was flowing into
the little meadow, but there seemed to
be- no outlet. There was no way Of
getting down into the valley. but quail
and rabbits seemed 10 iuhabit the little
basin
A pair Of opera glasses brought to
Hight a number of snakes bHsking in
the sun ON the Hat rock. They We're
one TO three feet in lcugth, aud had
heads shaped like a hlacksmlths hDm-
Nor. While the party were examining
with the glass the maneuycrs of mum
Der of snakes crawling through the
grass a very large one was noticed,
making a sneak on q cotton tail rabbit
When within about two feet of the
rabbit, the snake stiffened the front
half of its body aud bent into right
angle Then his snakeship Strengthened
out suddenly, bringing the rabbit a
swinging blow on the side of It's head,
which laid bunny ont completely.
Another snake was observed 10 creep
onto quail sitting Oh u scrubby tree
This snake twisted about four inches
of it, tail along limb Of the tree and
used all the rest Of It's body for a ham
mcr aud handle To whuck the quail on
the head such singing blow that 1t
died without hutter OF It's wings. The
snake seemed 10 have the wonderful
power of lengthening It's body out
nearly double its normal length and ms
small as whnlehonc whip, the heavier
part being next to the part wrapped
around the tree.
