And the moment she ID said 1t wom-
anly shame overcame her, and she rush
ed back, all blushes, into her uncle's
drawing room.
But Phil Gilman lay half that live
long night, the night before Aggie was
to arrive in India, thinking over to
himself the evil turns of fate below and
the curious tricks that fortune sometimes
plays us. He knew now that Freda
would have married him had he been
free to marry her. She had as good as
told him so in those few last words, but
come what might he must marry Aggie
And SO those two good young people,
one in Bombay and one on the Indian
ocean, were rightly prepared to make
four lives unhappy that might all have
gone straight, out of pure devotion to
the cause of duty.
1t had come down to duty now. They
both frankly recognized it. Phil felt he
could never do anything but marry Ag-
gle after bringing her out all the way
from England to meet him. Aggie felt
she could never do anything but marry
Phil after he had actually paid her
passage money and arranged for her out
fit. And both were prepared to go to
their martyrdom with the best grace
they could summon up for the sake of
the other and the purely historical love
they had once felt for another.

they rather imagined she'd mistaken
the bridegroom.
Aggie and Angus Stuart, however,
went on happily unconscious of the un-
kind remarks whispered about them in
confidence in the saloon at night when
they two engaged in admiring on deck
the phosrhorescence ON the waves or the
very singular brilliancy of the tropical
moonlight.
On one such evening, in the Red sea,
they stood together by the taffrail with
one accord and looked over in unison
into the deep white water. There was
silence for awhile. Then Stuart spoke
abruptly.
"You haven't seen him for five years."
he said meditatively, without anything
special to indicate the personality Of the
him in question. "That's very long
time, you know, Miss Oswald. At your
age and his in five years people often
alter wonderfully. being himself
just 80, and square built at that, Angus
Stuart affected always to speak to Aggie
in the character of a grandfather
"Oh, hope not!" Aggie cried fer
yently, with little shudder of alarm,
for, to say the truth, her new friend had
just voiced the very terror that was per-
petually consuming her. "It's only five
years, you know, and we were awfully
fond of each other!'
"'Were, =" Angus Stuart answered,
with quiet smile. "You say were
yourself. That doesn' It quite look as if
you were desperately in love with him
Just at present, does it?" And he smiled
at her wisely.
A prudent maiden would have divert
ed conversation. But Aggie hesitated
and temporized.
"Well, five years is very long time"
she admitted, with slight sigh, land
of course one naturally wonders whether
person will really strike one now ex-
actly as he struck one five whole long
years ago.
"Precisely!" Angus answered and
dropped the subject. He went on to re-
mark on the beauty of the phosphores-
cence that sparkled and danced upon the
surface of the water. They leaned over
to look at it once more together. Lovely
object, phosphorescence on the surface
of the water, especially when you look
over at it, two persons together! In point
of fact, they stopped up looking at it, in
that balmy southern air, till almost mid
night, and only retired to their respec-
tive berths just in time for saving the
last end OF the lights before they were
ruthlessly put out for the evening. The
old ladies on board shook their heads
next day and observed to one another
with scandalized faces that the sooner
Miss Oswald got safe to Bombay the
better for her lover.

The Primitive Gun.

AS soon as the forces of the explosive
gases developed by the burning of pow
der became known the old style weap-
ons disappeared, and firearms took their
places The first of the kind was small
gun barrel fastened to a long pole and
fred with a slow match. Shot stones,
balls of lead, iron bolts and fireballs to
set buildings on fire were propelled with
this apparatus, Only a short distance
could be shot with these primitive guns.
The old and clumsy siege machines
which threw heavy stones by means Of
a spring rope were changed into siege
guns.-Iron Age.

The Sight of Birds.

Birds are commonly credited with an
extraordinary range of vision. Circum
stances lend aid to the development of
the mental factors in their case. The
usual distance at which terrestrial
species use their eyes is limited by the
ground horizon. But in the case Of the
soaring birds, such as vultures. and
eagles. the horizon, the natural limit Of
sight, Is enormously extended
Macgillivray early noted that though
birds of prey have orbits of great size
the eyeball of the common buzzard be-
ing q inches in diameter-they do
not, as a rule, soar when seeking their
P1ey,
The eagle when hunting flies low,
just as do the sparrow hawk and the
henharrier. Yet the vultures and con-
dors, birds which admittedly do soar
when seeking food, have been proved to
find carrion by sight. A carcass was
covered with canvas and some offal
placed upon it, The vultures saw this,
descended and ate it and then sat on the
covered portion within few inches of
a putrid carcass. When hole was made
in the covering, they saw and attacked
the food below. But the rapid congre-
CATION of vultures from distance to
carcass is probably due to their watch
ing their neighbors, each of which is
surveying limited area. Charles Dar-
win pointed out that in a level country
the height Of sky commonly noticed by
q mounted man is not more than Is
degrees above the horizon, and vulture
ON the wing at the height of between
5000 and 1000 feet would probably be
two miles distant and invisible. Those
which descend rapidly and appear to
have come from beyond the range of
human sight We're perhaps lowering
vertically over the hunter when he
killed his game-London Spectator.

make clean breast of it from beginning

The beautiful girl held one hand up
deprecatingly. "You mustn't call me

is unjust TO her--and to me, Mr.. Gill
man, though perhaps if only She
broke off suddenly. "But, indeed" she
went on, after deep pause, II think it
weuid be cruel to her to bring her to
Bombay and then not marry her. You
must do it now, at all hazards. Either
way is bad-to marry woman you no
longer love, OR to break the heart Of o
woman that loves you. But the last is
infinitely worse than the first. You
must go ON with it now, whatever 1t
costs you, IT'S too late to go back. You
may ruin your life, but you save your
honor
"Well, but, Freda," Phil cried, with
a very pleading voice, "wopldn'F it just
be possihle''--7
"You mustn't call me Freda," the
beautiful woman said, with gentle
firmness. "You should.never have called
me so. You must forget all about me.
Take me back to my uncle. 1t is wrong
OF us to have stopped here so long to-
gether."
Phil stood off little and looked at
her.

said very slowly:
The woman IN Freda rose up irresist-
IDLY for a second
"Yes, we can always be friends" she
answered, with a lingering cadence,
then after a short pause, "though, aft
er all, Mr.. Gilman, that's poor consols-
tion."

this time. Naturally she can hardly
know what sort Of man she's going to
marry"
He paused second. Then he spoke
still more seriously cat the time we
both loved one another dearly. 1t was
heartrending to part. If we'd married
then and there, we should no doubt have
gone on loving one another just as dear
ly to this very day. But then we should
have seen a great deal meanwhile OF
each other. As it is, conceal it as we
may from ourselves, we must meet as
strangers. My first anxiety will be to
see what kind of girl has come out to
marry me. Aggie's first anxiety will be
to see what kind of man she has come
out to marry. May speak to you frank
ly-only in self defense, you know, and
to repel your charge of fickleness? Well,
till the moment arrived when L could
send home for Aggie, my one feeling
was longing to be able to marry her. l
looked at her photograph day and night
with distinct rapture. looked at 1t
often. 1t gave me thrill to look at it,
1t was only on the very.day that wrote
home to ask her to come out to me that
another side to the question first occur
red to me. Then 1 thought to myself, all
at once, it IS not the Aggie of today I'm
looking forward to see at all, but the
Aggie of five years ago. What reason
have I to think she will be to me now
at all the same person? loved the girl
of IS when left England, and if that
girl could come out to me now would
love her just equally. But how do l
know / shall love the girl of 23 who
now bears the same name? And if find
her altered out of all recognition what
terrible thing for he2! What a terrible
thing for mel What blow for both of
us! How appalling to feel you re mar
rying woman you don't really love!
How appalling for her to be marrying
man who can't really love her! We're
taking one another now in the dark, put
the best face you can upon it. -
"You'r re too frightened, Mr. Gilman,
Freda answered, with that charming
smile of hers. "The moment you see
her, the moment she sees you, all your
old love will return again with rush.
I'm sure it will, because I can see you re
in earnest You think of her as we'll as
of yourself, and with you men, when
ever man thinks of the woman as we'll
as of himself, you may be perfectly sure
he's a really good fellow"

The following communication has

OMAHA, Neb., May 7, 1896.
Hon. John G. Carlisle, Secretary of
the Treasury:
DEAR SIR: You have changed your
position upon the paramount public
issue and are now defending a fnan.
cial policy which you once denounced.
The advocates OF free and unlimited
coinage at 16 to admit your right to
change your opinion, but contend that
you owe it to the public to answer
the arguments which you yourself
made in 1878 before attempting to an.
swer the arguments of others.
In 1878 you denounced the conspir-
acy to destroy silver as "gigantic"
crime. Did you ever withdraw that
language before entering the Cabinet?"
You then said that the consumma-
tion of the scheme would ultimately
entail more misery upon the human
race than all the wars. pestilence and
famines that ever occurred in the his
tory of the world. Do you now think
the FREQ coinage of silver could do any
more damage than that?
Your record challenges you to joint
debate. Will you accepte Are you
willing to take up your speech of 1878
and answer it, one proposition at a
time? If you are, you will silence
those who doubt your sincerity and
question your motives. If you are not
willing to face your own arguments
and overcome them, you cannot COM
plain if your opponents adopt the
philosophy of Shakespeare and attrib-
ute your cowardice to guilty con-
science. Yours truly,

One noticeable peculiarity was the
fact that there were no men. The

SONG OF TEARS.
Composer who Gave IL to the " orld

Composer who Gave IL to the " orld
IL Now Dying In Poverty.
Frederick Nicholas Crouch, the
composer Of" Kathleen Mavourneen,"
is dying in Baltimore in poverty
The old mans mind il gone and he
raves about coronation of William w.,
the cupidity Of music publishers, his
old triumphs and troubles. Hundreds
OF thousands of people who have been
moved to tears by the recital of his
famous song will be amazed to learn
that its composer is alive. For it is
an old song and is involuntarily re-
ferred back to years long since dead.
But it Was a classic before it had be-
come old and will remain q living
power in the realm OF feeling until
human nature 10 essentially changed.
The poem itself was not written by
Mr.. Crouch. 1t was first published in
an English magazine. Here it was
that Crouch saw it. That was in
1887, when the musician was but 10
years OF age. These are the verses:
Kathleen Mavourneen! The gray drawn is break
ing,
The horn Of the hunter IL heard on the hill
The lark from her light wing the bright dew Ia
shaking
Kathleen Mavourneen! What! slumberipg
still!
Oh, hast thou forgotten how soon we must
sewers
oh' mast thou forgotten this day we must part
IL may be for years and It may be forever
Oh, why art thou silent, thou voice of my
hearts
Kathleen Mavourneen! Awake from thy sIum.
bers!
The blue mountains glow In the suns golden
light;
Ahl Where is the spell that once hung on my
numbers:
Arise in thy beauty thou star of my night!
Mavourneen, Mavourneen. my sad tears are fall
ing,
To think that from Erin and thee must part;
1t may be for years and it may be forever,
Then why art thou silent, thou voice of my
heart?
Crouch wrote out his melody and Of.
fered it to firm of music sellers, who
paid him in hand just e5. They took
the piece and coined money with it.
Edition after edition was sold and the
song swept over the world.

For your Protection Catarrh "Cures" OF
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide Of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
a blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. Theremedy should be quick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, so cents.
