swat minute, Mr.. Brantley," said
Joe, his voice husky. "You have
heerd what [ was foolish enough to
say out loud, and there's no use in my
denying it now. do love Miss Penn
broke, but I didn't intend to let her
know it, nor you. I know she amt
forme; [ know she's to be your wife,"
'And knowing that, you have the
impudence to tell me that you love
her-you, low, miserable specimen
of humanity, too ignorant to realize
your own audacity!" cried Brantley,
his temper getting the better of him.
you're a scoundrel, sir-a dog"
"Stop!" If Joe Langdon's face was
pale before, it was CHASTITY now
''Stop!" he repeated, and his voice
was terrible from it's very calmness

can call me such names as that and

nal, you mustn't do it ag'in; it's only
''You threaten me, do you?" cried
Brantley, in a white heat of passion.
''You threaten me"
Whatever was in his mind to say, it
remained unsaid, for at that instant
Joe Langdon sprang upon him with
the quickness of thought, and bore
him heavily to the ground.
The attack was so sudden and unex-
pected that Brantley was not pre-
pared for it, but with a furious curse
he struggled to his feet and drew his
= revolver. He was about to fire when
he heard woman's scream, mans
shout, and strong hand seized his
arm and held it.
''Drop that pistol" cried stern
voice. "You wouldn't shoot man
when he's down."
What had happened? What did it
mean? Was that Joe Langdon lying
on the ground with an arrow CULVER
ing in his side? Was that Laura Penn
broke kneeling beside the PROSTATE
miner? Was this Mr.. Pembroke who
had grasped his arm and wrenched
the pistol from his hand?
Charley Brantley realized these
things gradually, like a man waking
from a nightmare.
"You told me to save him, Miss
Pembroke" said Joe, family, as the
weeping girl lifted his head to her
lap. "You told me to save him, and
I've done it. [ seed that wretch

dead.
It was merely an episode; and after
a handful of citizens had run the
murderer down, and hung him to the
nearest tree, after the fashion of west

Nautilus Eggs.

The youngest student Of geology or
fossil hunter knows what an ammonite
is, but perhaps he does not know that
the only living representative of the
very large family of ammonites is the
pearly nautilus, an interesting crea-
ture allied to the cuttlefsh, about the
growth of which in its younger stages
hitherto little has been known. In order
to study the subject more completely,
DR.. Arthur Wiley, of University col
lege, London, sailed for the South seas,
2R years ago, in search of the eggs of
the pearly nautilus, and it has recently
been reported to the Royal society
under whose auspices the research has
been undertaken-that after consid-
cradle trouble and by the construction
of the submarine cage, in which speci-
mems Of the nautilus were fed daily. a
number of eggs had been secured. Each
egg is as large as grape, and is de-
posted separately. It is necessary, in
order to understand the structure and
manner of construction OF the beauti-
full chambered growth of the nautilus,
that the gradual growth of the young
in the egg should be carefully observed,
and doubtless by now the hitherto
blank page in the book of knowledge
has been filled in.-Chambers' Journal.

Hitting Power of the Ocean.

Landsmen who are slow to realize the
tremendous force of the sea had an
object lesson ashore in this city the
other day, when five large tanks, built
to contain 100000 pounds of soap, but
temporarily filled with water, and sta
toned on the fourth floor of a large
building in New York city, collapsed
and completely wrecked the whole
structure, killing three men and doing
a large amount of damage. The tanks
were each IS feet high and about 13 feet
in diameter, and contained 161,7O3
pounds of water, but the floors and
supporting beams proved altogether
Inadequate to Aand the strain. A wave
of the dimensions of one of these tanks
is not at all unusual at sea, and when
such a wave breaks on vessels deck
the force of the blow can only be es-
timated by the amount of damage it
does in spite of the elasticity of the
water beneath the vessel to ease her in
receiving the shock. When the city
firemen state that the stream from a
hose under so pounds pressure will cut
through an ordinary brick wall, the
force of the sea in gale may be, per-
haps, better imagined.-Marine Jour-

SAVING BEAUTIFUL VIEWS.
Picturesque Sites Prepared for th<
Peoples EntOyment. N1

Picturesque Sites Prepared Tor the
Peoples Enjoyment. eHfa
Gardens excepted, there are no OUT
ward manifestations of the old poetry
of japanese life so remarkable as those
summer houses occupying all the pic
turesque sites of the country. Wher-
ever there is view worth going to see
you will almost certainly find sum-
mer house built to command it, no mat
ter how wild or poor the district. You
will find summer houses clinging to sea
cliffs over the thunder of breakers;
nesting in shadows Of gorges over the
roaring of rapids; strutted out over the
precipice-fronts like eagles nests, at
the verge of dead craters. For in Japan
there will always be summer guests
wherever there is summer beauty
travellers happy to please theif eyes
and rest their feet, and to leave some
coppers in payment for the privilege
of the vision and the repose.
The summer house at which am now
staying is typical of the class; skele-
ton structure of two stories, simply and
strongly built after the manner Of
peasants dwellings and at a cost ofper-
haps $50. Timber is cheap here; on the
other side of Japan such building
could not be put up for $500. 1t stands
on the edge Of a lofty cliff and over
looks little bay near ancient Moino-
seki. From ground floor to roof it is
open on three sides; and on the seaward
side shelter from the sun and wind is
given by trees rooted in the cliff be-
low, but towering far above the caves
enormous pines, with branches many
feet in girth. Between the zigzags of
those mighty limbs there are glimpses
of the sea and fishing sails Canvas or
straw fitting Like white or yellow but
terflies, and the far pale threadline of
the Hoki coast, and Diasen's cone
thrusting into the clear sky like some
prodigious blue crystal. Or, looking
directly down over the needle foliage of
younger pines, you see the whipping
of the bay and bathers laughing among
the rocks, and children playing with
seaweed and shells. You view the
world as a fish hawk views it-though
I presume with vastly different sensa-
tions. After a swim it is delightful to
sleep here, the sharp sweet sea wind in
your hair. You are furnished with a
bathing dress, sandals, big straw hat
of curious shape to keep off the sun,
barley tea and cakes, a smoking box
and pillow; and the price per day of
this entertainment is - three cents!
The guest is expected to bring his own
food with him, and to provide himself
with towels.-Lafcadio Hearne, in At
lantic Monthly.

Iron In the System.

It is often said that there is iron
enough in the system of an ordinary
man to make plowshare- The state
ment is exceedingly wide of the truth.
The amount of iron contained in the an
imal tissues of man weighing $50
pounds is about 100 grains, or aquarter
of an ounce. Yet so important is even
this small amount to the system that
a difference of few grains more or
less may produce serious constitutional
disturbances.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
