Protheroe never knew the strength
of his love until that moment, but the
gentler emotion was mingled with a
dash OF eontemptuous anger for the
man who could be SO pusillanimous as
to lay the burden of his responsibilities
upon the tender conscience of young
girl, and his resentment spoke before
he could muzzle it.
THAT was ungenerous," he said
She turned away to the window
again, and her voice was unsteady when
she answered him. You mustn't say
that; you don't understands; he was
very unhappy and discouraged when he

Protheroe told himself that his con-
illusions were verified in so many words.

him to apostatize once for all by telling

He meant to go when he had said it,
and he might have kept his resolution
if she had not looked up into his face
with her eyes full of trouble. 'Pleasa
don't" she began, but the ungovern-
able impulse slipped the leash, and for
q moment Protheroe put the cup of pos
session to his lips and drank deeply,
taking her in his arms and covering
the burning cheeks with his kisses.
| Then sudden sense of the enormity

and, releasing her, he ran from the
house and flung himself into the saddle
to gallop away toward Allacooche9
with the ruins of a shattered ideal pelt-
ing him at every bound of the horse.

Fun Over the Bread.

firing of the communists was still
heavy in the neighborhood. The bull

Guilty was turned in this way: There
were soldiers on one side of the danger
Gus crossing and maidservants on the
other. The maidservants threw their
money to the soldiers and the soldiers
purchased the bread and flung it across
TO the maids. This maneuverS excited
Il good deal of merriment in spite of the
danger with which it was attended.
At times a girl would throw piece of
money short and soldier would have
to fish for it with his bayonet and
even, amid peals of laughter, venture out
to pick it up. To see the men and wom-

easily have thought they were indulg-

the mans reason for not wishing to APP

the point, contenting himself with re-
quest that the boy might be allowed to

permission was given, and Philip wrote
a note to Duncan, telling him of the

A CASE IN EQUITY.

Having set out in haste, he had am
pie time to repent in leisure. The road,
little used at any time, and practically
abandoned since the opening of the
railway, soon led away from the valley
and ran in tOrtuouS windings and in
genious doublings over a spur of Johns
mountain. At the top of the spur it
speedily lost it's identity in a succession
OF wood roads, and, after following sew
eral of the latter to their vanishing
points, Philip gave up the struggle and
determined to let the horse find the
way if he could. In common with I'M
equestrian mankind in general, Philip
shared the belief in the inerrant path
finding instincts of horse; but after an
other hour of hesitant wandering, dur
ing which time he had been thrice gar
roted by low-swinging branches, and
impartially bruised about the legs by
the efforts of the horse to squeeze be-
tween close-growing trees, his conf
dence in the sagacity of the animal be-
gan to waver. From doubt to GER
tainty is but step, and Philips faith in

edge of a ravine. slid helplessly to the
bottom, and ended by throwing his
rider into heap of stones.
Philip was half stunned by the fall
and when he came to himself he found
that he had gained sprained ankle and
lost a horse. Remembering ruefully
the maxim about great haste and small
speed, he got up with some difficulty
and continued his wanderings afoot I'M
til the pain in his ankle became unbear
able. After that there was nothing for
it but to sit down and wait for daylight,
and he was about to resign himself to
this comfortless alternative, when he
heard a cock crow. Chickens argued
inhabitants, and Philip dragged him
self painfully in the direction of the
sound until he came to the log cabin
of mOuntaineer. 1t was but a miser-
able howell of a single room and a loft,
and its indwellers were doubtless
Bedouins in. other respects than in their
hospitality; but of the latter Philip
soon had grateful assurances. He was
taken in and cared for; the man making
up a fire in the crumbling stone fire
place while the woman bathed his swOl-
len ankle and called a half-grown boy
from the loft to go out after red clay for
poultice. And afterward they would
have made him take the only bed in the
cabin if he had not insisted upon sleep
ing on the floor before the fire.
When Philip awoke the next morning
he found himself as completely a pris-
Oner as even Sharpless could have de-
sired. Walking was out of the ques-
ton, and his host had neither horse

"sHALL NEvES SEE DEATH"

. Strong are his arms. tender and sure his
hold,
The trusty servant whom the Father
sends
To bring His child safe home. He doth
enfold
1T carefully in his stout grasp, and bends
His footsteps swiftly to the welcome door
From which its feet shall never wander
more.
Feeble and faint, what need the weary
know
Who carries him? what need has he to
see
The servants face, whose careful feet do
go
Right onward with him, homeward,

He will not walIen till in endless peace
He wakes at home, and so his wanderings
cease.
Then pain is over; and forever past
The former things sin, sorrow, cares and
tears.

Gone are they with his last faint mortal
breath;
Death brought him home! but he did not

Rubies weigh ing more than four carats are so ex- ceptional that when perfect one of five earats is brought to the market it will command ten times as high a sum as diamond of the same weight, while rubies of six carats, without crack or flaw, and of the proper color, would, in all probability, bring as high price as 5000 per carat, or 15 times as much as diamond of like size and faultless- ness.
 All over the east rubies are regarded with the greatest possible favor, and so it has been from the earliest times oiwhich we have any record. The finest specimens are found in Burmah, and from time immemorial it has been a law of that country that all rubies oi above a certain size are the property ot the king, whoever may have been for tunate enough to find them. It is thought to this day there are. concealed in Burmah, among the treasures which the British invasion caused to be hid den away, rubies of far greater size and value than any which have up t now been seen either in.

 What was his stock; Hambletonian or Kentucky Whip?" asked the Kansas hcrseman, who hadn't heard of Pe- gasus, and was evidently sparring for wind.
 Pegasus replied the professor, as he deliberately wiped his spectacles, twas the noted flying steed captured by Beilerophon, the son of Glaucus, while qrenehing it's thirst at celebrated spring"
 ''Oh, yes.' said the Kansas hoTseman, brightening, "recollect all about it nov. That spring was down here at Geuda, Sumner county. Best water for horses I ever saw.

What to Do for This Very Annoying
 Affection.
 Pliny regarded nosebleed as one of fae aistint iYe characteristics Of Inc hnms sa for he said iha anaa Z tAe anl# Feafsse from whon b 2e9 flows at the nostrlls." and, properly unaerstoea, he was right Of eouzss blood will flow from any part sf any animal when the artcrles er veIns of that part are opened. but it is q fact that noeebleed, occurring without any apparent eausc, is seldom, if ever, seen in animals. The reason for this human peculiarity is that the membrane lining the nostrils in man is especially full of blood vessels, the walls of which are weak and easily ruptured by slight causes.
 It is usually very easy to recognize nosebieed, but sometimes the blood flows backward into the throat and then is coughed up, or yomited, and may be thought to come from a hem orrhage of the lungs or stomach, and SO cause much needless alarm.
 As rule nosebleed is a thing Of slight importance, and stops of itself after little while, but the blood may escape in such quantity, or the bleeding may continue so long, that the patient is greatly weakened. When occurring in children 1t has ordinarily nc signiti- cance-though this is not always to be taken for granted-but in older per sons fl may De q symptom of some other illness, such as the beginning of typhoid fever, or 8 trouble of the liver or heart.

Children with this predis- position-often called "bieeders''-s1f- fer from frequent and uncomfortable attacks of nosebleed, and sometimes die in one of them in spite of all ef- forts to control the hemorrhage.

 It is useful, also, to insert little piece of ice into the bleeding nostril- sometimes the effect is better if the ice is put into the other nostril-and retain it there for a moment or two; or still better plan is to snuff up a mixture of alcohol and water as hot as it can be borne. The introduction of cobwebs into the bleeding nostril often induces coagulation, or the same pur- pose may be served by little wad of loose .vorsted which has been picked apart.
