tremc heat Of midday and in the dark
ness which overshadowed them like n
curtain before the moon rose, they
slept, stretched on light hammoclls
which they hung to the branches OF
trees.
1t was during one of these resting
spells that the first disaster OF conse-
qucnce occurred. One among them had
been accustomed to watch over tho
sleeper, the vigil beng shared in turn
by European and native. On this oc-
casion Campignon had been on duty.
No noise had aroused the tired slccpers,
vet when they woke it was to find the
Frenchman missing the Frenchman
and the dog. In vain they cried aloud
till the woods reechoed their voices; in
vain they fired off their rifles and
waited q response. The Frenchman
was gone from their midst, and, what
was worse, he had taken their best rifle
and their dog with him.
"Oh, the falsc-hearted traitor! to
leave me like this for few paltry
pieces of gold!" Dunbar groancd, when
the natives who lad secured the woods
returned after vain search. He could
not communicate to them his sus-
picions. He could only sit upon the
trunk of fallen tree and give way to
despair. Somehow his memory seemed
to be failing him; he forgot where he
was; the trees assumed fantastic shapes
the rocks seemed to be perpetually
wheeling round, and his head was
heavy as lead. He had an indistinct
idea that he was falling, blurred
vision of a tawny coolie twining his
arms around him, and his senses failed
him utterly.

IN THE WOODS.

IN THE WOODS
AS there is in Ceylon no twilight IN
the cvening-no ''childrcn's hour" be-
tween light and darlsness-so the blood
red sun in the morning rises with leap
on the horizon pouring forth the heat
of furnace from the very minute that
his blazing shield peeps over the tree
tops.
They had all slept during the brief
hours of rcposc, feeling that as they
had rislscd the danger of freeing their
captive, the prccaution of n guard was
wasting the energies of anyone among
them, whose precious strength would
soon be taxed to the utmost. Dunbar
was the first to wake, aroused by
the dog which had from the hour
they found it manifested the strongest
attachment towards him, and now APP
preached him and gently licked his
face.
Good old fellow" Arthur said, talk
ing the animals head between his hands
and looking earnestly into the brown,

aid us in our coming peril; for I have

The camp was struck, and, after
hasty meal, n few minutes were de-
voted to council of war between the
young American and his trusty lieu
tenant.
What do you say, Campignon? Shall
we follow this track through the woods,
or turn back into the lake? For myself,
think that our trail lies by land. What
say you?"

lirium, which peoplcd his fancy with
strange shapes and unusual objects.
The walls were of solid rock, the roof
was oval, and on its rounded sides
stalactites glittered like precious stones
He was lying on couch hewn out OF
the virgin stone and covered with pan
Their skins. From an iron ring in the
ceiling hung an oil lamp which gave n
Pickering light. by the side of his bed
the dog lay apparently sound asleep
But what caused him the greatest sur
prise was another couch, the fac-simile
of the one upon which he was lying. on
which was stretched the figure of man
whose waXcn face showed that he was
either very sick or even dead, for his
eyes were closed and his hands were
crossed on his breast. In vain he lis
tened for sound, but all was US silent
| us u tomb.
When he tried to call out his tongue
Glove to the roof of his mouth and words
refused uttcrance: but the effort slight
rs 1t was, aroused the faithful dog,
which sprang to his side and began to
lick his hands and face with every man.
Hesitation OF JOY. Suddenly the entrance
to the place was darkened, and there
entered young girl lightly clad in ma
tive costume who uttered glad cXcla-
nation and ran to his side. How ten
derby she bathed his brow, and with q
great lotus-leaf famed the flush back
into his wan check.
"Whcre am 1? Who are you?" he
managed to gasp, but she only put her
finger to her pretty lips, and notioncd
him to silence. Then she gave him food,
a sweet cereal broth in yellow earthen
cup, which she held to his lips, mutter-
ing the while low sonorous chant in
the tone of mother soothing child to
sleep.
BY degrees the vision faded before
his imagination, and he fell into CRATE
full slumber.
When he awol1e, the same sight pre-
scented itself: The room unchanged, the
silent figure in its place, the girl and
the dog still there. Thus the time
passed. 1t seemed to him that he only
opened his eyes to gaze upon MS stranSe
surroundings, to receive sustenance at
the hands of his young nurse, and to
doze off again into dreamlcss sleep.
But by degrees he noticed that the
walseful periods grew longer, that he
had even vigor enough to raise his
head and gaze around him. The figure
on the other couch sorely perplexed
him. Who was this strange person
who lay so still that he did not seem
even TO breathe? It was not Capt
Campignon-that'h he was certain-for
the captains locks were raven black
while this mans hair was dull yellow,
and not ali the disease which ever af-
flicted humanity could cause the sail

ghastly hue. 1t could not be dead

thought was horrible, and he dismissed

QUIET CHRISTMAS.

Turkey Ruled the Board-The Ponds
and Lakes and the Merry Skaters
The Cold Weather.
Christmas falling on Sunday, yesterday
was the gala day. Thus December 20,
1899, will be remembered as the real
Christmas day, when the roast turkey is in
all his glory as the notable feature of the
Christmas dinner; when old Santa Claus,
the idol of young America, drives down
the chimney with his full team of reindesrs
and his loads of everything dear to the
ehild's heart; when the Yule log burns the
brightest and both town and country are
full of mirth and festivity. After the last
carol has been sung and the last mass said
then merrie Christmas of old England in
deed begins.
The weather In New Haven yesterday
was cold, clear and braeing-enough SO to
keep the walks slippery and stiffen up the
ice on Lake Whitney and the neighboring
ponds, 30 that the younger contingent of
the city's population focked to the ice in
crowds. On Russelps pond beyond Fair
Haven Heights the best skating was found.
Fully 500 people from Fair Haven pripci-
pally and also q large number from the
city proper were there. On Lake Whitney
there were from 200 to 300 The ice here
is not as good as on the ponds, being too
literally sprinkled with snow. Dicker-
mans ponds were also covered with skat-
ers all day and far into the evening.
Tho ice at Lake Whitney Is already an
average of six inches thick.
The theaters and museums were taxed to
their utmost extent yesterday to accommo
date an amusementloying public. "The
Soudan" st tho Hyperion attracted an o.
peoially large audience at its special holi
day matinee. AL the principal storei
closed at noon, in order to give the en-
ployes an opportunity to enjoy the day
and there was . pretty general suspension
of business throughout tho city In botl
shops and factories. The crowd on Chape
street was not large at any time, the ma
jority of the people seeming to prefer K
stay at home and enjoy their own freside
The frost work on the show window Of
Bouve, Crawford & Co.'S shoe store at
trscted considerable attention. The effec
produced was beautiful. The delicacy o,
the tracery was certainly very fine. Las
evenings cold weather was not suitabl,
for promenading, and Chapel street woult
have had quite deserted appearance ex
cent for the balls and festivals whicl
were In progress.

Would be a Loss to Fair Haven and

Much anxiety prevails in the member
ship of the Second Congregational church,
Fair Haven, at fear that their beloved pas
tor, Rev. Mr. James, may accept the fat
tering call rendered him from Norwich.
The church calling him is the one of which
Rev. DR.. Leonard Bacon has had charge in
the last few years and offers to erect new
parish building and give Mr.. James So, 900
a year If he will come-$1 900 more than
he is receiving at present. Mr.. James has
already won high place In the ranks of
the younger clergymen of the state both
for scholarship and success as pastor and
preacher. Should he decide to 60, his de-
parture will be loss which will be felt in
Fair Haven and in the ranks of our city
