Happiness seemed to revive Kings
waning strength for time, and then he
grew slowly worse. Suddenly upon the
scene came a most important actor, 4
college friend Of Kings, whose friend
ship was of that ardor almost lover
like in it's intensity. He had heard late
ly of his friends condition, and had
come to urge upon him an Arabian REM
cay which had been given him by an
uncle, whose life had been passed in
the Orient. n native, whose life he had
saved, had presented it to him.
With no fai1h, but partly to please
his friend, partly because dying man
catches at any straw which will pre-
serve life, King followed the prescrip-
ton and treatment, and, to everyone S
amazement, be improved, and, after
many weeks, was restored to his old
vigor. OF course, few gave credit to this
remedy; few knew oft; but, whatever
il was, the young man recovered.
And then to Barbara came the shock
of finding that the restored life OF her
old friend meant bondage to her. Was
she murderess at heart? oh, no, no!
But if she had only stood firm and never
yielded to Kings entreatie.s. The very
fact that she was bound to him made
her turn from him. These conflicting
Feelings told upon her health and
spirits. And then, one day, her hus-
band came IN, holding letter. He
went straight to her, and taking her
hands in his, said:
Barbara, don't think that l have
been blind. Do you think that 1 would
hold you to your word now? l an,

proper absence, you can apply for and

Barbara burst into tears as he went
On in his considerate, thoughtful plans
for her comfort, with never hint OF
his own pain.
She had a horror of divorce. Let
them be separated for awhile, anyway
she murmured to herself.

cruise, then on another to Australia

The Russians have made singular
discovery in Central Asia In Turkes-
tan. on the right bank of the Amou
Daria. is chain of rocky hills near the
Bol1haran town of Karki, and a number
OF large caves, which upon examination
were found to lead to an underground
city, built apparently long before the
Christian era. In Popular Science
News we find the following description
of this singular city:
According to eff1gies, inscriptions and
designs upon the gold and silver money
unearthed from among the ruins, the
existence of the town dates back to
some two centuries before the birth of
Christ.
The underground Bokharan city is a
little over mile long, and is composed
of an enormous labyrinth of corridors,
streets and squares, surrounded by
houses and other buildings two or three
stories high. The edifices contain all
kinds of domestic utensils, pots, urns,
vases and the like. In some of the
streets falls of earth and rock have oh.
structed the passages, but generally the
visitor can walk about without so much
as lowering his head.
The high degree of civilization at
tanned by the inhabitants of the city is
shown by the fact that they built in
several stories, by the symmetry of the
streets and squares. and by the beauty
Of the baked clay and metal utensils,
and of the ornaments and coins which
have been found.
It is supposed that long centuries ago
this city, so carefully concealed in the
bowels of the earth, provided an entire
population with a refuge from the in
cursions of nomadic savages and rob-
bers.

Louis father has far different designs for

King wrote at once, after his long
silence, to Barbara, urging divorce.
He felt that he knew her SO we'll, ana
could picture her mental distress and
scruples against her love for this appar-
emily charming young stranger. King
had aged somewhat, and his friends
declared he was much less jolly since
his long illness. He never spoke of HIN
self, but he knew that all real happiness
had vanished for hrm-the romance OF
his life was over, and he was often
tempted to curse his return to health.
But he devoted himself to his loved pro-
fession and had risen in it. His love
for Barbara was chivalric and constant
as any knights of old; but, above all
he longed for her to be happy, at any
sacrifice to himself. He was to return
to New York, and Barbara's answer was
to be sent there. AS the time drew
near, he could neither eat nor sleep. He
knew it would be the end of all his
feeble hopes, and yet till it did come,
there was no certainty. How he ell

and had fought against it. She was

rebelling against bondage which the
one who loved her best in all the world
had brought upon her! Slowly the YES

and then he read:

Akenside for our Eastertide. IF not, let

And SO it was that our commander
did not come to Akenside alone. The
boys stood around the door and gate
way of our little stone church to see
handing. No longer grave, the dark
eyes had a subdued CLEAN of laughter.

THE EASTER MORN.

All hail the gladstone Easter morn,
For which the springtime's flowers art
born;
Earth wears her gayest robes to-day.
And casts her Lenten garb away.
Ring out! ring clear!
Ring far and near,
Oh, bells in steeples high!
Ring in the dawn
OF Easter morn,
Beneath the Springtime sky!
Bloom, lilies, on your slender stems,
To crown the day like diaderns,
And, lifting up your petals white,
Make Easter affairs glad and bright
While ring SO clear,
From far and near,
The bells in steeples high,
And glad hearts raise
Their songs of praise
Beneath a springtime's sky.

Then he was a naval officer, and he had
had romance, which keenly INT crested
the young people especially.
He had never visited our little town
since he had left it that memora BILE day
after his unfortunate marriage. Ru-
mors of this and that had reached the
ears of the good folk of Akenside, but
it was from an intimate friend of Bar
lara Lippincott that heard the story.

searly left alone in the world, and made
his home during holiday times at the
Lippincotts. who were old friends of
his mother. He was at college with
Ned Lippincott, and then was suddenly
seized'with the fever to be sailor. An
influential friend of his fathers gained
him the appointment; he passed the
requisite examination, and entered the
Naval academy. He had graduated,
and was about to enter upon his new
duties, when his health suddenly failed
II was a not uncommon story of fine
physique and perfect health ruined by
persistent disregard of all hygienic
rules. He came to the only home he
had known for years, as everyone
thought, to die. He did not give up
without desperate struggle. He con-
suited the best physicians, who all
agreed that his case was hopeless. Mrs.

Something new in his tone made the
girl look at him apprehensivcly as she

wonderful Things That Happen to Men
Who Shoot.
A well-known naturalist and sports
man was shooting quail one day near
the Pyramids, says Parsons Weekly.
Sighting an owl, he raised his gun, and
was about to pull the trigger when,
judge of his surprise, the bird suddenly
twisted in it's fight as if shot, and came
futtering to his feet. On examination
he discovered that the bird, although
in midair, had broken its wing through
the mere exertion OF it's flight.
When shooting on the moors in York
shire an unlucky sportsman had his one
solitary chance during the beat spoiled
by an extraordinary accident. Just
as he was shooting at a grouse flying
about 40 yards away, another bird,
which had evidently lost its presence
Of mind, futtered in front of his gun,
receiving the whole of the charge in its
body. 1t was literally blown to pieces.
Booth, the wcll-known collector of
Brighton, once did the very same thing.
He was firing at small flock of COM
mon pochard when the charge hung
fire, in consequence of which rare
specimen had time to fly into the line
of shot. 1t is now in the Brighton m,i-
scum.
Apropos, q strange freak of par
tridges may be mentioned. Upon GER
tain occasions they will fly far out to
sea and settle on the top of the waves
with as much unconcern as if they were
on a turnip field. although it means
certain death to every one of the covey.
