This thought no sooner struck him
than he sprang out of bed, dressed him
self hurriedly and made all haste as the
gray winter dawn was breaking to-
| wards Minnie's house. He had sick
ening misgiving from what he knew of
the girl-of her resolute and self-sacri-
fcing spirit--that she meant to avert
his ruin by effacing herself. 1t was
what she had done.
Upon reaching the house he found
her already gone-no one knew whittier
leaving farewell letter for her
aunt, with whom she lived, and line
also for Dick:
DEAR OLD DICK: love you too much to
ruin you Do not try to find me. You cannot;
and it would make no difference if you could.

cause I doubt my power TO keep my resolution
but because l wish to spare you and myself

marry Miss Haekett now 1 could not bear

Upon reading this Dick rushed off in
frenzy to the station to find that she
had gone an hour earlier to Liverpool.
He took the next train thither a nd
spent week in that city seeking her
with the help of every posi- BILE agency
and in every possible place-in the city
or at the shipping oftices-without
coming upon the faintest trace of her.

the fury of his despair upon his father.
This week, during which he hardly
slept by night, or rested for a single
moment by day, had upset him almost
to the point and pitch of insanity; and
the reproaches he poured out in full
flood upon his father We're nothing less
than frenzied. Imagine his amazement
when the old man merely and meekly
replied to them: ''Well, well, Dick,
was wrong about the girl; but it's not
too late to set matters right"
I'm sorry spoke so unbecomingly
to you, father" Dick stammered,
amazed and ashamed.
You had some provocatlon. Dick
but I'll make you amends by finding

Dick shook his head despondently.

She'd never believe that l had come

''But how?" gasped Dick, in breathless
hope.
You'll see," chuckled the old man,
and nothing more could he be induced
to say on the subject.

In McClure's Magazine Prof. Henry
Drummond discusses the question of
where man got his ears. Nature. he
holds, seldom makes anything new:
her method of creation is to adopt
something old. So when land animals
were determined on, and nature started
out to manufacture ears for them, she
made them out Of old breathing appa-
ratus. She saw, Prof. Drummond con-
tends, that if water could pass through
hole in the neck, such as fishes have,
sound could pass likewise, thereupon
she brought certain species adapted to
her purpose to shore, and set to work
upon the FIVE gill-slits and elaborated
the whole in hearing organ. This
was not quick process, but the slow
labor OF ages, but finally was produced
the perfect ear, and man was not ere
ated until the work was done.

ANTETAMMANY DEMOCRATS.

New YORK. July 13.-The first blow at
Tammany domination was struck at a
meeting of The citizens Democracy of the
Seventh district last night, when a per-
manent organization of the new political
party was effected. The sentiment of the
meeting was voiced = Otto kempner, who
Included the following remarks IN his adj
dress:
Citizens. this city and state have an
alleged trio OF uncrowned kings to nullify
the principles of constitutional liberty.
This triumverate, composed of Murphy,
Sheehan and Croker, has reduced freedom
to a shadow. Our aim is to restore its
substance. Let us wage unrelenting war
on the Murphy machine, the Sheehan leg
islature and the Croker kingdom"

Former Mail Service.

Less than fifty years ago there was
really no postal system in this country.
Previous to 1Ss1 the mails were carried
by private firms, and rates varied sc-
cording to distance. Carriers often
travelled on foot or horseback and the
progress was slow. In 1876 some of the
post Offices issued stamps of their own.
called provisional issues. The ad-
hesive stamp was first used in this
country in ls47, and prepayment was
made compulsory IN 1856. In 1868 the
stamp containing the head of Andrew
Jackson was issued. and from then
until 1855 the style adopted contained
the profiles of presidents OF the United
States

AN UNPLEASANT COUNTRY.
Some of the Objections to Living in North
erD ROrneo.

Some of the Objections to Living in North
ern Borneo.
The northern half of the island of
Borneo is the queerest and most un-
satisfactory place to live that one can
imagine, thinks the St Louis Globe
Democrat. 1t is land of constant re-
curing phenomena, where cyclones
are frequent and deluges of water very
common. The vegetation in that half
is very fine. but in all probability the
widest and most tangled on earth
not even excepting that of Africa. The
cause of all the trouble is the shallow
condition of the sea north of it, great
shoals of sand existing few miles out
which extend along its entire northern
length. These shoals are covered by
depth of water not over five feet deep.
The constantly recurring winds that
blow in that climate change to hurri-
canes and sweep the smaller islands of
all visible life. When such storm
strikes the sand shoals north of Bor-
neo it sweeps up the shallow salt water
in its course and drenches the island
with it. Often it gathers up sand,
great masses of it, from the clear
swept shoal and whirls it for miles
high over the island, carrying it into
the island and scattering it every
where. The work of these storms does
not always end with that. Entire
shoals of fish, of all sizes, have been
swept up time and again by the fierce
wind with the water and sand and
scattered about Borneo. In some places
the ground would be literally covered
with fish, enough to supply a heavy
for weeks. But such luck
is no reparation for the evil the winds
do, and consequently the northern half
will never be inhabited by those who
value their lives
