farther, but the contracted passage was
only few inches in width. Fastening
the hook of the lamp upon one of the
points of the pick, he pushed the light
into the crevice as far as he could reach,
and by this means was able to discern
the dim outlines of another chamber
similar to the one in which he was
standing. In moving the light about
to get better view, the lamp tumbled
off and rolled out of reach; and in en-
deavoring to recover it with the pick
the point of the latter became so firm
ly fixed in a crack in the rock that
he was unable to extricate it. "That
was bright thing to do" he said,
pausing to wipe the perspiration from
his forehead. 81 suppose it would have
been all the same if my life had depend
ed upon that trumpery excuse for q
light. Fortunately, can get out either
way without it,"
He elected to go back by the way he
had come, and when he was once more
in the open air he found that he had
just time to walk back to Tregarthen
before dinner. On the way down the
mountain he debated with himself as
to whether it were best to tell Ludlow
of his discovery at once. There was no
apparent reason why he should not
do so, but he argued that there was
also no occasion for haste; delay ol
n few days could make no difference
and in that time he might be able to
gather additional information which
would fit into the discovery and sc
make it more valuable. Taking this
view of the matter, he determined tc
say nothing to Ludlow about the exist
ence of the crevice-cave; and in reach
ing this conclusion he forged the first
link in chain that was to bind hin
at time when he would have givel
life itself for an hour of freedom.
Passing the furnace on his way to the
village, he called for Ludlow, and they
walked home together. In answer t.
his friends question, Ringbrand replied
that he had spent the forenoon on th'
mountain. "rve been thinking abou
the story you told me this morning,
he added. Cant you give me moro o
the details?"
"About the feud, you mean?"
Eyes"
Ludlow complied by giving a minute
account of the rise and progress of tn
vendetta, repeating his suspicion
about the agency of the Bynums in re
tarding the work of the McNabb.
"What reasons have you for suspect
ing them?" asked Ringbrand.

"How can you be sure of that?"

a very curious description of Baby
Ion found in Il manuscript of the 14th
century was published in 1882. "a
city," says the author, ''rich in the
gifts of the ages, safe from disease and
distress, where all faces are joyous, and
where the three holy rivers flow over
costly stones, some of which dispense
beautiful light, and others give health
and strength. There Is the emerald,
brighter than mirror; the jasper,
which preserves from poison; the gar
net, which casts out demons and de-
stroys serpents; the diamond, which
can only be affected by the blood OF
kids; the topaz, which gives its own
color to all it approaches; the coral,
which wards off the thunderbolt; the
hyacinth, of the color of the day, that
cures all diseases; the magarita,
formed of dews; in q word, every pre-
cious stone that possesses miraculous
virtue" How these exquisite speci-
mems of natures handiworll came into
existence is question difficult to an
swer. We know of what they are COM
posed. but, if we except the pearl, we
know nothing of the process by which
they arrived at perfection; this is a
problem which must be left to future
generations to solve.
1t has been proved that the materials
of which precious stones are made are
of the commonest and most plentiful,
"and yet" says an old writer, 1--WE thin!
the very heavens ccncurred with the
earth to their 'commiXion,' and so the
sun left part of his light shining in
them" The diamond, which is so daz,
zlingly bright and so pure, is in reality
nothing more or less than pure carbon;
the ruby and the sapphire are com
posed almost entirely of clay; the enl-
erald of sand or silica, while the pearl
is formed of carbonate of lime. This
would strike us as most wonderful if
we did not remember that out of the
dust of the ground God made man,
whose beauty and value are far above
the diamond and ruby. a French
writer says: ut would seem as though
the mighty creative and organizing
power had chosen to manifest its on.-
impotence by producing its most valu
able substances from the most ordinary
clements" Think of the combination
of circumstances required in the forma
tion of these beautiful crystals to give
them the necessary transparency, bril-
liancy, luster and exact amount of col
oring matter for the desired tint, tc say
nothing of their freedom from flaws
and defects. Another circumstance of
great interest about precious stones is
that they have doubles so like them
selves that it is diflicuiS for the un-
trained eye to detect the difference, and
yet the one is of great value, while the
other has little or none in comparison.

"The place will ask for brave man."
II can find oue," rejoined Ludlow,
cheerfully. Don't you want the job?"
"I'm afraid l shouldn't be of much
use; but I'll take it, if you say So"
Ludlow looked incredulous. "That
doesn't sound much like the line you
took this morning"
mo, know it doesn't; but perhaps
I'm a little like the man who wanted
a drink of whisky in order to ascer-
tain what effect it would have on him.
I've tried moral suasion on my weak
ness until I'm convinced there's no
virtue in that kind of treatment, and it
has occurred to me that a heroic dose
of carnage may be what is needed"
'It may be, but shouldn't go around
hunting for the occasion if were you" )"
replied Ludlow, holding the gate open.

A vENTuREsoME VISIT.

The preliminary lines of Mrs. Lud-
lows matchmaking campaign had
been drawn with such slight difficulty
that the small conspirator began to
think that there would be no occa-
sion for q go-between. Ringbrand's
hospitable welcome by the colonel, and
the easy facility with which he ingratl-
ated himself at "The Laurels," left lit
tie to be desired; and his infatuation
was so very evident that it needed moth
ing in the way of encouragement. Since
his side of the case was beyond the need
of prompting, Mrs. Ludlow directed her
efforts toward trying to ascertain his
standing with Hester-a praiseworthy
endeavor which the young girl ap-

Within my door, good Dame To-day
Spins by the hearthstone bright,
And keeps me at my task alway,
Till taps my neighbor Night;
Then brushes she the hearth, betimes,
And bids the wheel be still,
And, with her gossip Duty, climbs
The path up yonder hill;
While neighbor Night and I, alone,
Beside the hearth's low flame,
Sit hearkening the winds wild moan,
But speak no word nor name;
For neighbor Night, right young Is he,
And have heard 1t said
That, haply, he will some time be
With gay Tomorrow wed.
And 1 am old. Each hour track
The step of Watchman Time;
So soon will Dame To-day come back,
Then farewell dream and rhyme!
But now, with neighbor Night, space
Is mine, he'll not gatnsay,
To brood awhile upon face
My lost love, Yesterday.

On English Canals.

The navigation of the canals, rs most OF

quently left for long distances completely
to themselves. In some districts the canal
paths run on one side for n time ard then
stop, being continued opposite. Where this
is the case the horses, if no bridge exists,
must cross over in the boat itself, and on
one river where this changing of sides is
very frequent the writer has repeatedly
seen horse without rider or driver near
him, and with only one man in the boat
increase his speed as he approaches the
termination of the path, SO as to give the
barge sufficient velocity to carry him
across, await its arrival at tho bank, and
as it comes up and goes about take u leap
aboard over space of from five to six feet.
Here he waits patiently until he reaches
the other side, when as coolly and de-
liberately he leaps ashore, feels his towline
and lays himself quietly to his work again.
But there is live stock more directly asso-
ciated with the BOAT than even the horse,
which, after all, y, but hired for time.
A cat and IL dog are nearly always to be
seen aboard, and sometimes there are rab-

FROM TnE RUBBISH HEAP.
What Becomes of Old Rags. Cinders. Bones
and Tins,

We all know the rubbish heap, says
writer in the London Mail. Old tins, old
shoes, dirty paper bottles, bOneS-every-
thing, in fact, that has served better pur-
pose, and is now deemed done with, is
thrown there. When we see all this refuse
carried away, the most of us have an idea
1t will be pitched into some ditch or some
place rarely visited But for that to be
done Is the exception and not the rule.
The old rubbish hcap-so great an eyesore
In our neutrality-suspicious. some very i'm
portant functions.
The clearing away of this rubbish is
generally done by contract. but those who
undertake the work often make a good
profit out of it, Every heap undergoes q
thorough sitting, and all the various things
which compose it are put by themselves.
The cindcrs are carted off to brickyards,
where they are ground up, and in IA few
days are converted into good, substantial
bricks.
Then all the bones, after they have left
our tables, are taken to a boiling house,
where the fat and gelatin they possess stre
extracted, the fat being used in the manu-
facture of soap and the gelatin being put
to number Of purposes, chiefly, however,
being made into those brilliantly colored
wrappings which enfold Christmas crack
erS.
The bones themselves are cut up into all
sorts of cheap ornaments, or are often
ground into powder and after chemical
treatment make very good tooth clean
ing preparation. Torn and soiled paper re-
turns to the mills, and, as rule, becomes
papier mache.
Every piece Of old rag is eagerly bounced
upon. Although much of it ultimately be-
comes paper, by far the larger proportion
goes to the shoddy mills Here the filthy,
Objectionable garments are reduced to u
pulp by mechanical process and in the
future will again do service as clothes.
There are, indeed, very few articles Of ap-
parel worn which have not some OF this
shoddy in their composition. 1t is said
that by its introduction the price Of cloth
ing has been reduced % per cent.
Then what becomes of all our old sauce
pans, salmon tins and the like? First, the
lead by which they are soldcred is taken
from them, and after this they are remclt-
ed. All pieces of glass find n destination
in the melting pot, whereas bottles, If they
are not damaged, are cleaned and so put
into active use again. Gutta percha arti-
cles, which obtain II good price, are rcnelt-
cd. Cabbage leaves and the like find their
way to the pigs So you see that there is
very little of the rubbish heap that is not
put to some purpose.
