ing did, and SHE'D tc one side. 4
The rider jerked the horse savagely by
tie reins, and swore at him roundly.
Just then the hoof-beats of another horse
were heard coming up the path in the
opposite direction. The first rider sprang
from his horse to the ground, and led
him in among the dense underground of
vines and palmettoes bordering the path
on either side.
Another growl came from the bushes
across the path, and this time the man
evidently heard it, for he looked around
apprehensively, and placed his hand on
the pistol, the handle of which protruded
i'll front of him.
Across the path from where the man
and horse were hiding, a girl and q dog
crOuched under clump of palmettoes.
The girl was young, fifteen perhaps;
dark skinned, dark-haired, and with eyes
large and round, and backer than mid
night, peering eagerly through the gloom.
Her feet were bare, as was also her head,
but a sunbonnet was in the hand she held
upon the head of the large hound at her
side.
The sun had set, and the gloam was
growing deeper and deeper every mo-
ment. The wind sighed among the tops
of the trees, and the grey moss hanging
from the branches overhead swayed with
a gentle motion. Occasionally the wind
touched the top of the tall palmcttoes,
and their sword-like leaves ratified with
Kissing sound. An owl in the distance
hailed the coming of night with loud
hoot.
Every moment the shadows deepened
in the break. The second rider came
Gathering down the path, but from some
cause he drew rein and made his horse
walk when he came opposite where the
first rider was hidden, and where the
girl and dog were crouching in the pal
mettOes.
ats pap, "muttered the girl, restrain
ing the hound with a gentle caress from
lcaping forward.
The man had almost passed, when the
first rider came out from the bushes into
the path, and accosted him in a cautious
voice:
"HellO, BraddOnp
The man turned around in tie saddle
quickly, but quick as the movement had
been, a x-shooter ready for use was in
in his hand.
"Put up your iron, Braddon. Its
only me, Tom Licker." "
''Why didn't you say so then1 Half
the fellows around here would have
plugged you full OF lead for acting like

"Pshaw2"
"Well, you take fools advice and
don't do it too often, ngrowled Braddon.

POPULAR SCIENCE,

1t is estimated that it takes the same
AMOUNT of energy to ride bicycle fifteen
miles as to walk three miles.
A scientist has discovered that near

BY studying the spectrum of lightning
as it passes through the air, it has been
found that sodium, the element from
which common salt is formed, exists in
the atmosphere.
Sheet-iron kites, to enable vessel
when in distress during storm to CON
municatc with the shore, have been sug-
gested. 1t would be a curious expert
ment. OF coure, sheet iron can be made
as thin or thinner than writing paper.
White is a union of all the colors,
or Of two Complementary colors.
Black is ncgation of color. Gray, pro-
duced by mixture of black AMI white,
is white deficient in luminosity. And
yet there are senses in which both blacl
and white may be called colors.
The present disturbance or eruption on

They also found it impossible to whistle.
The tornado whirls at q rate variously
estimated from 800 to 20OO miles an
hour. Though ephemcral and dimlnuliye
1t has vastly greater violence. To class
it "cycione" is to belittIe its terrors.
True cyclones are exceedingly scarce,
while tornadoes are numbered by tic
hundred every season.
"What becomes OF the tail OF a tall
pole when the animal becomes frog!'
Professor Biekmore explains thu, the
gradual formation of the legs is accom-.
panied by a corresponding decrease il
the size of the tail, anl when the legs
are sufficiently grown to enable the
young frog to climb out of the water the
tail has been absorbed into rest OF tlo
body.
The reason for the red sunset indicat-
ing fine day to come is because tho
amount of vapor floating in the air re-
fleets the beams Of the sun and more
freely transmits the rel rays of light
than the colored rays. 1t is the degree
of moisture in the atmosphere which
affects the refraction of the light, ani
when red rays of evening are freely
transmitted the amount of moisture does
not approach the rain point and, there
fore, promises the following day to bc
fine.

1t was nearly midnight. The stars
elimmered above rude cabin in the
cedar brake. A man, with rifle in hand,
sat in the half-open door. 1t was Brad
don on guard for his life. The silence
was intense. The frogs had ceased their
music, aud the wind had gone to sleep in
the tree tops. Braddon, in the quiet of
the hour, was reviewing his past life. He
had not always been an outlaw. The
time had been when he had a happy
home, was surrounded by friends who
loved aud respected him, and life was
full of hope and promise. But brave,
generous and impulsive, he had fallen
under the influence of evil companions,
and his ruin had been accomplished by
slow degrees. Never before had he fully
realized the cause Of all his troubles, but
tonight he could trace every error Of
his life to the influence Tom Lickers had
gotten over him. He cursed himself for
his blindness. His fate now seemed to
be to fight for his life, or yield it at the
end of rope. If it were not for Liz,he
would gladly submit, or If she were
with him tonight, they would mount
their horses and flee to some place where
the past would be behind them, and be-
gin life anew.
Swift footsteps startled him out of his
revcrie. He peered out into the darkness
under the trees In front of the cabin, and
saw shadowy figure approaching. The
conner, whoever he might be, was not
approaching stealthily, but came with
long, swift strides, without pause or
hesitation. When within few PAGES of
the cabin, Braddon accosted him.
"Who is there2"
"It's me--Joc Bronson" was the re-
ply.
Bronson advanced without fear. Brad

THE SILVER THAw.

There came a day Of showers
Upon the shrinking snow;
The south wind sighed of flowers
The softening skies hung low.
Midwinter for space
Forsbadowing ApriPs face,
The white world caught the fancy
And would not let it 60.
In reawakened courses
The brooks rejoiced the land;
We dreamed the springs shy forces
Were gathering close at hand.
The dripping buds were stirred
Asif the sap had heard,
The long desired persuasion
OF ApriPs soft command.
But antic Time had cheated
With hopes elusive CLEAN;
The phantom spring defeated
Fled down the ways of dream.
And in the night the reiga
OF winter came again,
With frost upon the fores,
And stiffness on the stream.
When morn in rose and cr9
Came up the bitter sky,
Celestial beams awoke us
To wondering ecstasy.
The wizard winters spell
Had wrought so passing we'll
That earth was bathed in glory
As though Gods smile were nigh
The silvered saplings bending
Flashed in a rain of gems;
The statelier trees attending
Blazed In their diademS.
White fire and amethyst
All common things had kissed,
And chrysolites and sapphireS
Adorned the brambie stems,
In crystalline confusion
All beauty came TO birth;
1t was kind illusion
To comfort waiting earth
To bid the buds forget
The spring so distant yet,
And hearts no more remember
The iron seasons dearth.
