He, too, suffers, it is said from an
affection of the liver, and il is also said
that he broods over the fact that he is
the last of his name. Gen. Dumas, the
whole-souled, daredevil soldier, a full
blooded negro from Martinique, Dumas
pere. the living incarnation of gayety
and geniality, who was commonly sup
posed to have fused much of his own
CHEEKY personality into the character Of
D'Artagan, that most lovable of scamps
and most winning of vagabounds, both
seemed to have escaped the melancholy
that is popularity supposed to be the
characteristic of their race, and which
fell like a pail on the shoulders Of their
octoroon descendant. For whether it be
the effect of his illegitimate birth, which
weighed heavily upon him, or his joyless
and prosecuted childhood, so graphically
described in the Affaire Clemenceau, the
genius of the oyunger Dumas has al
ways been sad and cynical, his laughter
is a sneer his comedy sardonic, and
his greatest creations. excepting the
Dame aux Camellias, which was
an idealized portrait of his love,
are those which show civilized human
nature in its worst phases, and delineate
graphically the possibilities of total de-
pravity The last of the Dumas dynasty
is now the best exponent of that cynical
bitterness which underlies the froth of
and frivolity of the French nature and
characterizes the final years of the dying
century His departure would not, like
that of Garrick, lessen the harmless
gayety of nations, but France has lost
of late too many of her great literary
lights not TO hope that the cloud that
obscures this particular one will blow
aside leaving Dumas's fin de steele bril-
liancy more luminous than ever.

giving half turn at every step and the
feet crossing each other.
Where penguins are found at all, they
are found in prOdigious numbers, as at
the Falkland islands, where their deep,
resonant cries add greatly to the dreary
desolation of the place. While on land
their habit of sitting together in long
rows, with their blush backs cOntrasted
with the white breast, gives them a
ludicrous resemblance to an infant
school of white-aproned children. The
female bird lays only one egg, large
and of a grayish white color. If dis
turbed during incubation she will shuttle
away at rapid rate, rolling the egg
along between her feet till she reaches
a place of safety.
The solitary young bird is covered
with fluffy gray wool and is so abund-
antly fed by both parents that is soon
becomes almost too fat to move. They
feed on cutie fish and various crusta-
ceans. There are many species of this
bird the crested variety being really
handsome its bright, golden topknot
which can be erected at pleasure, giving
it a very conspicuous appearance. 1t
abounds in dreary Patagonia and is,
like all penguins, very noisy bird.

LORD DUNRAvEN IN PUBLIC LIFE.
What the Owner of the VaIIxyrie Has
Done TO Merit Attention.

Lord Dunraven took his seat in the
house Of lords as a supporter Of Mr..
Gladstone, who subsequently offered him
a minor post in the government. But at
that time the young traveller took but
little part in politics, and so declined the
f1attering invitation. His real entry into
public life, and, in fact, the foundation
of his subsequent career as a politician
are due to an article which he wrote in
the New York World on Mr.. Gladstone's
famous attack on Lord Beaconsfield
The article obtained much attention at
the time and attracted the notice of the
conservative chief, who was much struck
at the clever criticism of the young
liberal peer An acquaintance sprang up
between Lord Beaconsfeld and the
writer, which later on ripened into friend
ship, and probably had something to do
with Lord Dunraven joining the con-
sentative party.
His early speeches were chiefly on
foreign policy, and the intimate knowl-
edge he showed respecting treaties Of all
kinds was additional link between
him and the leader of his new party.
His favorite theme was Egypt, and he
rarely missed an opportunity of con-
demning Mr.. Gladstones policy in re-
spect to that country. Later on he in
terested himself more especially in
colonial affairs. Here his personal ac-
quaintance with the North American
colonies stood him in good stead, and
gained him the ear of the house of lords.
Thus ii was scarcely surprising that
when Lord Salisbury came into Office he
chose him as under secretary of state
for the colonies, post he again filled on
the return Of the conservatives to power
in 1856.

A Rose Mniden.

If any of the girls have birthdays
and Of course they all do have-here is
a pretty game for the little guests TO
play. 1t is called the game Of Rose
Maiden" To play the game prettily
there must be a quantity of paper roses
one for each little girl. The roses
must be California roses which are as
large as a little girls head.
When the little guests are all assem-
bled, each little girl gets rose, while
one of the older people present helps her
to take out the inside leaves and to fit
IL over her head as If il were a bonnet,
out of which her little face is becomingly
peeping. Then all the little maidens
stand in a row while some one tells a
story about the garden flowers. When
ever the red roses are mentioned, the
little girls wearing the red rose bonnet
bow their heads deeply, and when the
white roses are mentioned the white rose
maidens do the same. And so on through
all the colors. If a little rose maiden
makes a mistake and bows at the wrong
time, her bonnet is turned around 50
that it covers her face. The rose
maiden game is very pretty one, and
II you try it at your next birthday party
you will surely enjoy TN. Y. Ledger.

The two white lines, intersecting each

the cross as call to mercy, grace and
forgiveness.
The fierce words of Kenton led her
to fear he intended to put The Panther
to death in punishment for his manifold
dark deeds. Should it not be hers to in
terpose and do the will of one whose
forgiving kindness is infinite?

CHAPTER wv.
TEhn "hffn Cn

From the time the three men left one
fiatboat to paddle to the other, fully
twenty minutes elapsed. During that
period the only persons awake on the
last were The Panther, young George
Ashbridge and Agnes Altman.
1t has been said that when the women
and children withdrew to the cabin, after
the startling occurrence in which Jethro
Juggens bore so prominent a part, all
sank into slumber. Such was the fact,
but a burden oppressed the heart of
Agnes which disturbed not the others.
The last sight of the captive showed
him sitting near the cabin, with his
back against the heavy planking of the
side and his feet partly extended and
touching one of the heavy boxes in front
His hands were fastened behind his
back, causing him to lean slightly over
and his head was bowed. He was the
picture of despair. Not a word escaped
him, nor did he move a muscle. Had
he been carved in stone he could not
have been more mute and motionless.
The sight so troubled the girl that be-
fore she had slept ten minutes her eyes
opened, with her thoughts still upon the
hapleSs captive.
She had been told that The Panther
was a cruel warrior, whose hands were
deeply stained with the blood of limo
cent people, that he had slain mothers
and babes, and was on an errand of
murder when he fell into the trap set
for him.
All this and doubtless much more was
true, but ii could not extinguish the
sympathy that moved her to rise on one
elbow and peer through the entrance to
the cabin.
Upon lying down the second time she
had not removed her clothing, and in
the small space she knew how to move
about without disturbing any of the
friends near her.
Peeping out Agnes saw the Shawanoe
hardly two yards distant, just as she
had seen him after bidding the others
good night. Although she had been
asleep but a few minutes, the time
seemed much longer, as is the case with
all of us when reused under similar cir
cumstances.
Poor man." murmured the girl, he

The moon was near the zenith. In
climbing the sky IL had shaken aside the
obscuring clouds so that it shone down
with the full power of it's dimness upon

the head of the terrible chieftain of the
Shawanoes as he sat bowed in Silent
desolation.
The Panther, unlike his companion,
had not been in the water. He had
padded to the side of the larger Graf.
and come over The side in regulation
style. So II was that his garments were
dry and the eagle feathers in his hair
unmoistened.
The Shawanoe possessed more natural
covering for his head than most of his
people. Three colored feathers were
thrust among the labyrinths on his
crown and pointed upward as though
winging the arrows that had been
launched by some celestial archer
A few of the coarse black locks were
looped and tangled on his shoulders, but
most of them rested on his breast. one
strand reaching to his waist. The left

THE PENGUINs.
The Peculiar Habits of These Queer
AmphibiOus Birds.

These amphibious birds, found only in
southern ATTITUDES, present to the specta-
tor a very singular appearance from
the fact that the legs, which are very
short, are placed so far back that the
bird sits in a perfectly erect position,
while the wings quite destitute of feath-
ers) are modified into paddles, useless
indeed for flight, but capable Of being
employed as an extra pair of legs when
the creature is in haste to escape from
pursuit At such times so rapid are its
movements that it might easily be mis-
taken for a quadruped. It's general mode
of progression. however. is to shuttle

As he came over into the boat he
brought all his weapons with him, in
Guiding his rifle, which was grasped in
make any use of any of them he wheeled
TO follow his comrade.
1t was at this juncture that Jethro
sprang forward. In the confusion OF
the moment he COMPOUNDED the two
Shawanoes, supposing only one was con-
cerned, and that he who turned his back
upon him was he whose pressure he
still seemed to feel on his mouth.
"I'H teach yo' better manners dan
datY' roared Jethro, throwing his pow
erful arms around the Shawanoe in
such a way as to pin his hands to his
sides at the very moment he was about
to lean over.
The savage struggled desperately, but
the African put forth all his mighty
strength and flung him violently upon
the bottom of the boat. Still twisting,
squirming and writhing. the warrior was
hurled again against the planldng,
Jethro falling heavily upon him.

ro?" he asked.

SHOD WITH SILENCE.
A Tale of the Frontier.

The morning call., 1893-03-31
COUNTERFEiTING.

The progress of the counterfeiter in his
nefarious arts is one Of the deplOrable signs
in an age of advancement. His ingenuity
may eXtOrt a species of admiration for tai
ents abused, but il his rascalities were to go
unchecked the business world would be
sadly disturbed and annoyed. commu-
nifty is much more upset by floou of spu-
rious currency than by the forgery OF
checks. The base coins pass from hand to
hand and deceive many, but the forged bill
or check soon runs its course and only in
jures one or ut most few persons. A base
coin produces a degree of evaporation in
the temper of the person deceived utterly
disproportionate to the value of the coin
and the degree of the injury. 1t requires
some skill to-day to pronounce upon the
particular evidences of falsty in a counter
felt coin. limitations are often exceedingly
skIllfuL Mechanism is employed for stamp
ing and milling almost as effective in work
manship as If it belonged TO a mint. The
fabrication is no longer clumsy, but clever,
and sharp eye is needed to detect the diff
ference. In Washington and Idaho a gang
of cOunterfaiters has put into circulation
counterfeit silver coin very skillfuliy fin
lshed and OF full weight. The silver is
alleged with silicon, and unless size test
ing machine is USED detection is very diff
cult. chemist could probably soon tell
the difference, but there are hundreds Of
good people who know nothing about chem
icalS, and the knaye who palms off counter
felt coins selects victims who will not en-
barrass him. There is one peculiar danger
which cannot be banished as long as there
is such disparity between gold and silver.
coun terfeiter cannot initiate gold coins
proftably without using a base metal, and
he is soon detected. But counterfeiter
could very proftaby embark on the produc-
tion of silver dollars just as good in the
quality and quantity of silver they contain
as those issued by the mint. He need not,
in any respect, depart from the standard OF
fnenesS or the proportion of silver to the
right alloy, and the coins might be just as or
namental as those legally authorized. Yet
the profit would be tempting and great. This
would be free coinage with vengeance!
As the Government retains the coinage in
its own hands private enterprise to turn the
disparity between gold and silver 10 account
can never be anything but counterfeiting.
The countries which employ copper cur
rency to great eXteHt would be subject to
like danger IL they did not retain control
of the minting, or did not limit the quantity
for which contracts are given TO private
firms. 1t was perhaps for some reason Of
this kind that French copper3ys were
recently prohibited from circulating as or
binary currency in England
