OF speed to the end one horse was GER
tainly out of il. for with every jump
the Swain was losing ground absolutely
unable to keep up.
MANN UNBEATABLE.
The time for the seven furlongs was
l:29-remarkably fast-and Howard Mann
even then looked unbeatable. Martin
was sitting on him like a statue, saving
the colt held for the final rush Of those
behind. They were at the head Of the
stretch, with a mile behind them i'm the
fast time of 1:i2 IA, and Howard Mann
had not faltered.
Now they were fairly Strengthened out
for home, and the judges were I'm sight
Martin hitched a little uneasily on
Howard Mann as he was getting near to
the goal. and at the last furlOng pole he
began driving a little, although he was
two lengths TO the good. But he could hear
shouts of Take care" and 'Volley'' from
the crowd, and he did not care to
take any chances. and did not dare to
look back, so he kept his mount in mo-
ton, determined not to lose when he had
but a short distance to go. 1t was but
a few seconds more, however and as
the timers watches stopped at 200 81
he sent Howard Mann past the post four
lengths I'm front of Lake Shore. who was
three lengths i'm front of Volley, who
had run about a sixteenth of a mile fur
Their than any other horse in the race.
Loki had dropped back 10 fourth place.
and Jefferson and The Swain competed
for last place.

Man" I'd say: I'D no be acting as third
engineer on an odd-job steamboat like this

And then he'd shake his head and sigh

which he and his mate hoped to get the
GOLD boxes out of the wreck and down into
the Cleaners hold. / suppose 1 ought to
have seen what he after then. But
didn't I'd only got it in mind that he
wanted to marry Miss Bradbury, and didn't
see his way to lingering enough money

We'd an easy bay and a good run down,
and made Grand Canary one morning
just before the dawn. We ran into Les
Palmas barber and saw Teneriffe far away
across the sand neck with its sunny head,
rosy in the sunrise. We'd a day there max

stores. and then we steamed out again and
made for the spot where the Corinth had

Bad Lands of the West.
From LippinoOtt's.

From LippinoOtt's.
The general aspect of this country is
strange even to weirdness 1t is not gen.
orally barren, but is covered by the most
curious and remarkable vegetation. For a
hundred miles you may ride through ORCH
ards of the torch cactus, its thick trunk
supporting bare arms, tointed by like bare
perpendicular branches, standing in rough
nakedness and stiffness. The yucca, whose
central stalk bears an abundance of PEN
dulous white flowers, shows the green blade
leaves of the palm family up all canons;
and the thorny mescal and the Spanish
ieSger, the intricate brush of greesewood
the scrubby mesquite, the white sage, and
the innumerable grasses which in tufts
and punches checker here and there q
broad sweep of baroness, all make up a
fora as curious it is wonderful. Even
in regions of the maximum aridity, where
the fierceness of the suns rays is intol-
cradle to life above the grade of a lizard,
some defiant organisms of the vegetable
kingdom will sustain themselves and cling
to reluctant existence.
1t is country, TOO broken by number
less and strange mountains, which general
ly show a barrepness the valleys do noc
display; in some parts their sharp ridges
and craggy peaks will line broad valley
in continuous chain for many miles; again
they will stand at varying heights, isola ed,
high round cones or low Jumps, leaping
suddenly from. the fiat surface as though
they were set there by some enormous
hand like giant beehives.

Remarkable Horse Trade.
rom the Youths Companion.


Two gentlemen of Marshallton Va who
for convenience We will call Mr.. A and Mr..
S, met one day and agreed to swap horses.
''Ill tell you what, John" said Mr.. A.
''if you get the best of the trade you shall
bring me two bushels of wheat to bind the
bargain. and If 1 come out best I'll do the
same by you, eh?'
That's a co." said Mr.. s., and 1 low
you'll bring me the wheat"
That's as 1t may be- retorted Mr.. A.
But let it be agreed, then, that a week
from this afternoon the one that's best
suited, be 1t you me, shall give t'other
two bushels of wheat
The week passed. the day came. and, as
luck would have 1t, Mr.. A. and Mr.. S. met
on the road about midway between their
respective homes.
Where to, John?" cried Mr.. A, as they
stopped a moment to chat.
ITO your house with two bushels of
wheat" replied Mr.. S.
well, now, that's good" remarked Mr..
A., for was on my way to your house on
the same errand. This horse you let me
have can't be beat
Just what 1 think of this nag" retorted
Mr. s., and then they had a hearty laugh
and separated after exchanging wheat.

"Very well. then; just give me your hand
for half minute and look me in the eye"
/ did that.
Now said he. you're a servant of
the Corinth Salvage Association. and I'm
another. Your father was a gentleman,
wasn't he?"
He was that, sir, and one of the most
honored Free Kirk ministers In Scotland.
Then you must be a gentleman, too,
though l dare say you are not always
treated as such. Now, swear to me, Mac,
on your honor as a gentleman, that you'll
be true to those that are employing you.
1 looked him in the face and did 1t cheer
fully. When a man treats me properly
(and God knows few enough of them have
tried IT. he's got fellow to work for him
he ought to value highly.
