The Death of Napoleon.
BY W. g.

The eonqueror ofhaIf of Europe
lay dying. That wonderful mind
was to be quenched in the night of
the grave. Nature, as If determined
to assert the greatness of her work
to the last, trumpted him out of the
world with one OF her flercest
storms. Amid the war OF the blast,
and the shock of the pillows, as they
broke where wave had not struck
for twenty years-amid the dark
ness and gloom and uproar of
one OF the most tempestuous nights
that ever rocked that lonely isle-
Napoleon's spirit was passing 10
that unknown and unseen world,
where the sound of battle never
comes, and the tread of armies is
never heard. Yet even in that sol.
emn hour, his delirious soul, caught
Esr4aPPs ~ TIE -battle-llke roar of
tie storm without, was once more
in the midst of the fight, struggling
by the Pyramids, or Danube, or on
the plains Of Italy. 1t was the
thunder of cannon that smote his
ear; and amid the wavering fight,
and covering smoke, and tnmult of
the scene, his glazing eye caught
the heads of his mighty columns, as
torn yet steady, they bore his VIC
torious eagles on and c'Tete d.
Armee head of the army, broke
from his dying lips. Awe.struck
and still, his few remaining friends
stood in tears about his couch i;
gazing steadily on the awful, kingly
brow; but it gave no farther token
and the naughty lips moved no
more. Napoleon lay silent and mo.
tionless in his last sleep.

ing ons Of them, and mounting their
horses they fed for their lives.
Then up came the horseman, and
Senorita saba saw that he too was
masked.
He was ia Mexican garb, well
mounted and armed, but bis mask
completely hid his face.
Quickly he unhitched the horse Of
the Mexican girl, leaped from his
saddle and said with courtesy in
Spanish, though with an accent:
Il am alone, Senorita, and those
fellows have other comrades rear
we must ride for it,
He raised her to her saddle as
though she were a child, gathered
her portfolio and sketcher, leapej
upon his horse and they were gone.
AS they rode along in vain did
Senorita Sada try to discover who
and what he was.
His mask defed detection and he
courteously parted her every ques-
ton, until when they came in sight
of her distant home, he said
"You are safe now, Senorita, so |
will leave you.'
Refusing to say more, and making
light of her saying that she owed
her life to him, he rode back on the
trail he had come.
Back to the spot he went where
the tragic adventures had occurred
and there lay the body of the man
he had killed.
The outlaws had not returned.
Dismounting, he took off the out
law s mask, searched the body, and
glancing over some papers he found,
said !:
"Yee, it is as I expected. This
paper tells the story; his writing be-
trays him. / am on the right
trail"

FLOOD AND EBB.


/ stood on the shore wnen the moon was
high,
And the tide came full from the sea,
And itsang song Of days gone by,
In a tone that was dear to me.
1t sang song Of love and youth,
And its wonderful monotone
Had an echo Of courage aud strength for
sooth,
That comes but with youth alone.
Life is long and love is true,
Courage and strength will bring to you
All that both can give.
Faith is strong and Hope is new;
Fruition of both will come to you,
And make it joy to live.
1 stood on the shore when the moon was
low,
And the tide was ebbing fast,
And it sang song of human woe,
And of joys too fair to last.
1t sang a song OF love and loss,
In wistful, sobbing tone;
1t told of the gold that had turned to dross
And the hearts that had weary grown.
Life is brief and love is vain,
Pleasures throb must turn to pain,
And mirth to sorrows sigh,
Faith is weak and Hope is dead,
Fancy's visions long have fled,
IT'S left thee but to die.

that have been sold here, there is
one which certainly deserves special
mention, viz: "The United States. .

CHAPTER II.

The whole country was wild over
the attempted kidnapping of senorita
Sa6a Sardello.
Her father called his cowboys
about him, and with Others from the
neighboring ranches, they secured
the whole country.
One of the most persistent and
tireless of the outlaw hunters was
Luke Markham, the young Ameri-
can ranchman, who had followed
Senorita Sada from New Orleans
and settled in Mexico.
He had dozen cowboys on his
ranch, and night and day they were
on the trail, and had tracked the
outlaws from the scene of the at
tempted kidnapping.
They found there the body Of the
dead OUTLAW, and burying it, had
picked up the trail there Of the out
laws and, in spite of their skill as
plainsmen. had lost it in the noun.

Luke Markham seemed equally as
anxious to solve the riddle of the
unknown and masked rescuer of
Senorita saba, as to find the out.

Sada had told her strange story
OF her unknown rescuer, and various
were the corjectures regarding him.
Luke Markham felt assured that
he must be one of the outlaw band
that was opposed to the carrying off
of the young girl
Senorita Sada did not know what
to think, while one young rancher
suggested that perhaps it was one of
her lovers, who not being willing to
be known by her then, had put on
mask.
This latter suggestion seemed to
gain ground as the days hurried by.
and the young rancher who suggest
ed it was looked upon as the real
rescuer, although Sada would not
agree to this opinion.

One evening stranger came to
the Sardello hacienda.
He was we'll mounted and equip

man Of thirty, and was an American.
He brought letter of introduc.
ton to Sada from one OF her old
New Orleans schoolmatts, whose
brother he was, and had come to
Mexico to purchase a ranch sud
make it his home.
Sada remembered TO have often
heard of her brother Dallas Hay
ward, and that, possessing means,
he had been a rover about the world
since his boyhood, having run off to
sea before the mast, later served in
foreign wars, and had a most event.
ful and remarkable career of ro-

Dallas Hayward was warmly well
comed at the Sardello hacienda by
all, bat particularly by Senorita
saba, who had made very import
ant discovery.
This was that the American wore

had seen once before.
That was upon the left hand little
