A LITTLE BOY FOR SALE.

When her dear little boy with his toys

He had laid his toys aside.

AS she sits by the bed of her curly head,
A soft sweet song she sings;
When out of the gloom of that small, quiet
room
Comes the rustic of angels wings.

Wasps Resort to Suicide.

A short time ago NJ. Henry, a French
man. being curious to see the effect of
benzine on a wasp. put some of it under
a glass in which a wasp was impris-
oned. The wasp Immediately showed
signs of great annoyance and danger,
eiarting at a piece of paper which had
introduced the benzine into his cell. By
and by he seemed to have given up the
unequal contest in despair, for he lay
down on his back. and, bending up his
abdomen, planted his sting thrice into
his body and then died. NJ Henry al
lowed his scientific interest to overcome
his humanity so far as TO repeat the ex-
pertinent with three wasps, only to find
the other two did likewise. He is, there
fore. of the opinion that wasps. under
desperate circumstances, commit sui

WHEAT FIELDS.

The "one-grain wheat" known in the
south of Europe as 'St. Peters corn"
bears but a single grain to the stalk
Dakota farmers estimate that the
housing of their wheat after the thrash.
ing is compared costs from 25 to 81
cents per acre
Throughout western Australia the
annual yield of wheat per acre is lis:
about the same figure prevailing in
Queensland.
The department of agriculture esti-
mates that the labor of preparing an
acre of wheat land in Missouri is worth
S1.52.
In North and South Carolina and
Georgia the cost of harvesting is said to
be smallest, being respectively as, n
and "a cents.
The cost of raising wheat in Vermont
and Utah is almost exactly the same,
being in the former $500 and the lat
ter s19.72.
In the Dakotas the cost of harvest
ing wheat is quite an item, in North
Dakota being one dollar and South Da-
kota SLIP per acre.
In Kansas thrashing an acre of wheat
is estimated to cost S1-1s, while the

CHAPTER XIIL-CoNrINUED.

"How good it is to taste tobacco
again. he said, as Maya went. ''Do you
know, friend, it seems to me that Ziba1-
bay has changed. 1 never was a great
admirer of his character, but perhaps I
do not understand it."
''Do you not, senior? I think that
do. Like some Christian priests the
man is fanatic, and, like myself, a
dreamer. Also he is full of ambition
and tyrannical, one who will spare
neither himself nor others where he has
an end to gain.
1.-The object of his mission, and, in
deed, of his life, is to build up the fall
len empire of the City of the Heart. In
short. senior, though 1 do not believe
in his gods, in Zibalbay's visions do
believe, seeing that they have led him
to me, whose aim is his aim, and that
neither of us can succeed without the
other
why not?"
Because 1 need wealth and he needs
men, and if he will give me the wealth
/ can give him men in thousands"
II hear" answered the senior. cit
sounds simple enough, but perhaps you
will both of you find that there are
difficulties in the way. What I do not
understand, nhowever, is what part
Maya and 1 are to play in this grand
affair, who are not anxious to regen-
crate race or build up an empire
suppose that we are only spectators of
the game"
Glow can that be, senior, when she is
Lady of the Heart and heiress to her
father, and when," added, dropping
my voice. you and she have grown so
dear to one another.
mo, no, senior, you cannot be left out
of this game: you are too deep in it al
ready. At present he is well disposed
toward you, because he thinks that the
oracle may declare you to be the son of
Quetzal through whom his people shall
be redeemed. But be warned, senior,
for if he comes to know that you are not
the man, then he will sweep you aside
as of small account and you may bid
farewell to the Lady of the Heart"
Il will not do that while 1 live he
answered quietly.
No. senior, perhaps not while you
live, but those who stand in the path of
kings do not live long. Still, though
there is cause to be cautious. there is
no cause to be downhearted.'
AT any rate, we will stand together -
said the senior. "And now, as there is
no use talking of the future, think
that we had better go to bed. On one
thing, however, you may be certain,
unless she dies or 1 die, 1 mean to
marry Maya"

CHAPTER XIV.


While it was yet dark on the follow.
ing morning we were awakened blythe
voice of Zibalbay calling us.
Arise" he said; lit is time to start
upon our road"
Dressing ourselves, we went into the
common room, where we found Zibal bav
and the Lady Maya.
Eat" said the old man, pointing to
food that was ready, land let us be go
ing"
Ten minutes later we were outside of
the houSe and on our way.
By degrees as the light grew we saw
that the country at our feet was shaped
like bowl, whereof the mountain
range upon which we stood formed the
rim, and at the bottom of this bowl. fed
by numberleSs streams that had their
sources among the surrounding SHOWS,
lay the lake, the Holy Waters of this
people. OF this. however, we could as
yet see little, since the vast expanse be-
meath us lay hidden in volumes of mist
that moved and rolled like the face of
the ocean.
Never before had we looked upon
anything so strange as this dense gar
ment of vapor while the light of heaven
gathered upon its surface, tinging it
with lines and patches of color It
seeued as though map of the world
was unrolled before us; continents.

IN truth wish we had!" exclaimed
the senior.
AS 1 walked on side by side with III
balbay / spoke to him, saying: You
use sharp words toward him who is my
brother, chief, and therefore toward
me-"
81 speak as I must" he answered
coldly. MANY troubles await me at
the city. Did you not hear what that
knave said last night, that Tikai, my
nephew, whom 1 left in charge, rules
in my stead? Well. this girl of mine,
who is affianced to him, and through
whom he hopes to govern in after years,
may be the only bait that will tempt
him from his place, for he looks upon
me as one dead, and it will not please
him to lay down the rod of power. How
should it please him, then. and those
who follow him, to see white stranger
holding that daughters hand and whis-
pering in her ear?
L made no answer, for at that mo-
ment we turned a corner and came face
to face with the bearers of the filters
whom Zibalbay had summoned to meet
us.
There We're forty of these men or
more; for the most part they were tall
and well shaped, with regular features
| and. like Zibalbay and Maya, very fair
for Indians, but the look upon their
faces was different from any that
have seen among my people. 1t was
not stupid or brutal, or even empty,
rather did it suggest great WEAKNESS.
WEAKNESS was the master not of their
bodies, but of their minds, and looking
at them could understand what Ziba1-
