Along the borders Of the mighty sea,
Lies sands seem ever to be slowly DRIFT

And men run here and there in haste un-

With fevered souls, in search of JOY or

Their best, their all, In reckless measure

vain.
Like children who, amid the sand-heaps

Where breezes lightly toss their shining

And fly to grasp some glistening treasure

And carry proudly homeward, little dream

The brothers smoked in silence for
few moments, and then began TO lis

While they talked the stars came out
one by one and the shadows deepened
in the cove until they lay black and
brooding over the thickets on the sides
of the mountain. With the drawing |
of tho curtain of darkness the noises
of the night began-the drone OF the
jar fly passing with the fading light
into the chirping Of the cricket and the
shrill song of the tree-toads. Thread

the measured pulse Of human effort,
the rhythmic beat of the blowing en-

intently into the darkness.

reply.

A capital story is told Of the way in
which New England senator was once
aroused to make stirring speech. at
the outset of his political career he had
been known as remarkably clever
"orator of the stump" and later on, in
the lower house of the legislature, he
made brilliant name for himself. But
when he became senator he ceased
talking, much to the regret OF his
friends and admirers. Finally the
liquor law came up for discussion, and
the wife of friend of the senator, who
was much interested inits passage, was
greatly disappointed to see that the
brilliant man had no apparent intention
of Joining in the discussion. She sat
down and wrote few words on sheet
of paper, which she inclosed in an en-
velope and sent by a messenger to the
senator. do speak! Even Balaam's

ator to his feet, and elected one OF thu

IIL-CoNTINUED.

With the death of John Bynum the
feud smoldered for several years. HIS
only brother, Jed, who was absent at
the time of the lynching, moved to
Texas a short time afterwards, and
there were left only the widow and her
four children on the small farm in the
cove. 1t is to be supposed that the
woman, who was q Bynum by blood as
well as by marriage, did not fall 10

hostilities were renewed as soon as the
bows were old enough to follow in the
footsteps of their elders.
Col. Latimer, the squire's son and
heir, inherited little of the peace-loving
temper of his father. The first time he
found his fences thrown down and the
cattle in his fields, he armed himself
with a heavy riding whip and went
about nursing his wrath till his oppor-
tunity should arrive. Meeting jeff
Bynum in the street Of Tregarthen, the
indignant colonel proceeded to mete
out to the younger man such measure
of chastisement as he thought the case
demanded, paying for his satisfaction
a few days later with q broken arm,
shattered by the bullet of an ambushed
enemy. This incident was conducive
TO another interval of peace, for two
reasons-it taught the colonel that un'
less he were willing to adopt the un
scrupulous tactics of his antagonists he
was likely to lose his life in an unequa
contest; and the Bynums were re
strained from further immediate ag
gressions by fear Of some such conse
ouences as had oVertaken their father
Col. Latimer was quite as popular IL

there had been ominous threats OF an
other outburst of public indignation

the son appeared to her and told her
that if she would so to certain corner

over the vision that she aroused some
of the family and went at once to the
designated spot and began to dig

Novel Postal Service.

Probably the only regular postal ser

town Of Avalon, on Catalina Island.
twenty miles out in the Pacific. This
little town is a favOrite summer resort
Of Southern Californians, and at that
season several thousand people found
themselves practically cut off from the
world. To business men this was Il Sc
riouS matter, and yet as the fishing at
Catalina IS said to be the finest in
America, they could not resolve 10
abandon the lovely spot.
The difficulty was solved by two
bright young men, who decided to try
what could be done by means of carrier
pigeons. 1t was feared that the dis
lance might discourage the birds, who
are not accustomed to fly over such
bodies of water. The birds, however,
seemed to have no disfnclination, and
from the very first fulfilled their part
OF the contract perfectly. From Los
Angeles to Avalon the air line is abou,
fifty miles. The birds have been known
to traverse this in less than an hour

Game,

The Yorkshire gamekeepers have IN
ingenious way Of protecting their hares
from poachers. They net the hares
at the various gates and stiles through
which they pass, and then let them 60
again. The result Is the hares are SO
frightened that they will never go
through a gate again, and when the
poacher sets his net there for them he
is surprised to see them jump over the
fence.
