one instant into view and then gone
laundering out of sight. Up to this

reeled. Before his eyes rose a dense
cloud of mist rushing forth from the

had swooned utterly away.
By and by, with anxious face and
bandaged head and arm, Lieutenant
Drummond came galloping down. Wing
was then submitting to the rude ban

only to strike a feeble canter, so utterly
was he used up, and just when Wing,
looking only to the front, was thinking
shat he might as we'll discontinue the
spur and let his poor horse rest, they
labored forth from the %sheltering shade
full upon the tawny, sunlit sand. Then,
while the sergeant's eyes were tempo
rarily blinded by the glare, there came
from the rocks to his right a sudden
fash and report. He felt at the same
instant a singing pang in the leg. He
had just tine to grasp his own carbine
and to attempt to swing off when the
second slot echoed loudly from the
rocks. He felt poor Dick start and
swerve; he felt him going headlong, and
the next thing he knew he was vainly
striving to peer into the face of the
evening sun from over the quivering
body of his faithful friend, unable for
the moment to see the faintest sign Of
an enemy, and then the blood came
yelling through the little hole in his
worn cavalry trousers, midway between
the hip bone and the knee, and he
knew he had received a serious perhaps
desperate wound.
For the moment, therefore, he could
do nothing more but look for succor.
A glance down the desert told him his
fellows were at last rudely awakened.
True to the practice of the craft, the
instant fire was opened from the rocks
each man had put spurs to his horse
and dashed away to a safer distance
with such speed as was possible with
their jaded mounts, each trooper warily
scanning the dark line of the foot hills

rode to ~unfasten the flap that held his
carbine, in the fashion of the day,
athwart the pommel of his saddle, and
now, circling farther out upon the
plain, in wide sweep, with carbines
advanced, they were fastening to the
succor of their comrade. Presently one
of their number suddenly drew rein,
halted his startled ''broncho," aimed
to the left Of the horses head and fired,
then, examining a cartridge into the
chamber, came riding farther. The
others, too, followed suit, shooting at

There is story, more or less diffused, Of
q young bride ON her wedding day playing
the game of hide and seek, and concealing
herself in one of those ancient carved
chests of large size. 0ifter she had got in
the lid closed and she found herself unable
to raise it again, or it fastened with q
spring and she was shut in. Search was
made for her in every quarter but the right
one, and great perplexity and dismay
were caused by her disappearance. twas
not till years after when chance led to the
opening Of the chest that the body of the
young bride was discovered and the mys-
terry Of her disappearance solved.
The story is found in so many places that
it may be questioned whether it is true of
any one of them. Rogers tells it of pal
ace in Modena. The chest in which the
poor bride was found is shown at Brams-
hill, in Hampshire, the residence of Sir
John Cope Another similar chest, with
precisely the same story attached to it,
was long shown at Maxwell Old Hall, be.
tween Winchester and Bishops Waltham.
The folk tale of Catskin or Peau d Ane
represents the girl flying with her bridal
dresses from marriage that is repugnant
to her, and as this tale is found all over
Europe, it may have metamorphosed itself
into that of the bride who got into chest
aud died there.-Cornhill Magazine.

Plymo mouih and the PiIcrims.

Plymouth is Il busy factory village. We
are sent for landmarks of the past to
Plymouth Rock, the cemetery on Burial
hill and the museum in Pilgrim hall.
No spot is quite so famous as Plymouth
Rock. The stranger is surprised to find it
so small, but it is veritable rock, where
rocks are not plentiful. 1t is protected by
a stone inclosure with iron gates, through
which we pass and step on the granite of
dark gray color The hardness of the
stone makes it almost impossible for relic
hunters to carry off pieces, but French
traveller said he saw bits of Plymouth
Rock in many states of the Union. One
large fragment is built into the wall of the
Church of the Pilgrims in Brooklyn.
The original rock is in two halves, each
about four feet in diameter, the under part
somewhat larger than the upper. At the
time of the Revolution it was taken up to
be carried to the center of the town to
make rallying point for patriots. The
rock was broken in two halves. The lower
part was left in its original place, while
the other half was carried to the town
square.
In 1884 the rock took another journey to
the lawn in front Of Pilgrim hall, and was
inclosed by an iron railing, on which are
inscribed the names Of forty-one who
signed the compact on board the May
flower. A third journey, however, has re-
stored it to its original position. Peter
sons Magazine.
