A CIR;OES FIND,

The police notified the coroner yesterday
that a portion of Il human skeleton had
been found in house on Mead avenue,
just north of Douglas. The coroner re-
paired to the scene of supposed murder,
and there, sure enough, We're the legs of a
man or woman, with the entire feet. The
condition of the bones were very peculiar.
1t looked as though the flesh had been
torn from the bones, as shreds OF flesh
were still clngirg The skin on the toes.
however, had never been taken off; it had
dried on, and was plainly visible. Where
they come from, or how they come there is
a great mystery. and in all probability, 20
one will ever know. The coroner will
have them properly buried.

THE PRICE OF HOGS.

There was one car load of hogs sold at
the stock yards yesterday which brought
the owner, Mr.. Miller of Viola, the hand
some sum of S1,6l5. This is equal to
about eight cars of wheat and still pesse-
mists are talking about the ruination Of
the country on account of the probable
shortage OF the. wheat crop. Il takes but
seven or eight months TO raise hogs and
get them ready for the market and one
load of them will net as much as an aver
age farm crop. of wheat. The country is
is all right under such circumstances. So
long as fair sized Kansas hog is worth as
much on the market as the annual yield of
an acre and three-quarters of wheat there
seems 10 be no need OF being alarmed.

CHAPTER vi.
AN OLD STORY.

But this was not to be the only event
full conversation which Mrs. Westmacott
held that day, nor was the admiral the
only person in The Wilderness who was
destined to find his opinions considerably
changed. Two neighboring families, the
Winslows from Anerley and the Cum
berbatches from Gypsy Hill, had been
invited to tennis by Mrs. Westmacott,
and the lawn was gay in the evening
with the blazers of the young men and
the bright dresses Of the girls. To the
older people sitting round i'll their wicker
work garden chairs the darting, stOOp-
ing, springing white figures, the sweep
of skirts and twinkle of canvas shoes,
the click of the rackets and sharp whiz
of the balls, with the continual Fifteen
love, fifteen all!' Of the marker, madeup
a merry and exhilarating scene. To see
their sons and daughters SO flushed and
healthy and happy gave them also re-
fected glow, and it was hard to say who
had most pleasure from the game, those
who played or those who watched.
Mrs Westmacott had just finished a
set when she caught q glimpse Of Clara
Walker sitting alone at the farther end
of the ground She ran down the court,
cleared the net to the Amusement of the
visitors and seated herself beside her.
Clara's reserved and refined nature

Penelope as she was ON the 18th Of June
1857, in the throat of the straits Of Ban

board bow and Sumatra on the port. He
painted from description, but of course,
as you very sensibly say, all was snug
below, and she carried stOrmsails and
double reefed topsails, for it was blow

it now, though like the old name best. !"
"What q lovely rake her masts have,
and what curve to her bOWsl She
must have been a clipper"
The old sailor rubbed his hands, and
his eyes glistened. His old ships bor-
dered close upon his wife and his son in
his affection.
II know Funchal," said the lady care
lessly. GA couple of years ago | had a

with couple Of Cornish lads for a
crew. Oh, it was gloriousl A fortnight
right out in the open, with no worries,
no letters, no callers, no petty thoughts,
nothing but the grand works Of God, the
tossing sea and the great silent sky.
They talk of riding-indeed [ am fond of
horses, too-but what is there to COM

she pitches down the long, steep side of
q wave, and then the culver and spring
as she is tossed upward again? Oh, If
our souls could transmigrate I'd be Il
seamew above all birds that fyl But
keep you, admiral. Adieu"
The old sailor was too transported with
sympathy to say a word. He could only
shake her broad muscular hand. She was
half way down the garden path before
she heard him calling her and saw his
grizzled head and weather stained face
looking out from behind the curtains.
"You may put me down for the plat

behind the curtain of his Times, where
his wife found him at lunchtime.
