Len Henry, u well known pioneer.
relates an adventure that is out Of the
usual order. He was travelling on mar
row trail above the raging Grande Bonde
river when he came to u landslide about
30 feet across that left no trail or even
niche in the smooth, PERCEPTIONS rock.
The trail was no narrow that the horse
could not turn back. He was trapped.
Above the 20 foot break in the trail was
a sharp craR Of overhanging rock On
his saddle bow was IA strong RATA so
feet long, and Henry is an expert in the
use Of it, He steadied himself upon the
saddle. swung the rope over his head
and hurled it high into the air. II set
tied firmly over the crag. He tried it
carefully. 1t was firm. His saddle was
new and strong one, with double
cincbes Around the horn he wound the
rope. He urged the horse on to the edge
Of the precipice.
The faithful beast stood firm. Ho
would not step over, but the rider drew
mp the slack and pulled with all his
power Inch by inch he drew the strain
ing horse forward till his feet slipped,
and he swung over the ohasm. The
rider held his breath as he looked at the
river below and the slender rope above,
but he was across the gap. He sprang
up the trail and tugged at the reins t.
aid the horse in gaining his feet. He
pulled, and the horse lunged up into the
| trail with the chasm behind Amazon.

the iiankets aside and entered the in
closure to feast my eyes on my treasure,
closed my eyes and soon was lost to
consciousness until the familiar pressure
of finger tips on my shoulder awakened
me to the well known voice sounding
in my ear:
Jack, Jack, come quiokp'
There was an earnestness in the tones
had never yet heard, which brought
to my recollection Marie's parting
words:
Perhaps may need you. Who can
tell?"
Evidently Marie was In trouble, and
| must 20 to her. and we began making
preparations for our departure.
Our most valuable belongings with
food and water sufficient for the jour
ney. we're packed within the ships lock-
ers, and our tents stored within the in
closure Az darkness approached we un-
hitched the anchor chain from the sta
plo in the wall Of rock and started.
AT midnight we were lowering over
Marie's home. We dropped downward
until could outline the house and
grape arbor. With few hurried words
to Ned I sprang lightly to the roof.
The window was open, and the next
instant my sweetheart was leaning out
ward, with her hand on my shoulder
in the old familiar manner. pouring her
woes into my ears.
"Just think of it, Jack. Papa is de-
termined that l shall marry Cousin
Tom. The cakes are baked and in the
pantry. Tho guests are all invited for
the wedding tomorrow and the license
is On the library table. What can we
dor"
OF course there was but one thing to
do, and that we did without delay.
Marie stole quietly down into the libra
ry and rod the license How simple
matter to erase one name and substi
tute another. And while she was about
il, with her usual forethought she con
tiscated the brides cake. This, with
her wardrobe and jewels, was passed
through window. and then l signaled
to Ted
The ship settled down like huge
bird OH the grape arbor Marie gave II
little shrek IN we stepped on board,
causing Ted for an instant to lose con
troll of the lever. There was IL crash of
splintering pine AZ the grape arbor gave
way beneath our combined weight.
Straight upward like rocket we
arose for 1000 feet or more. AS We
turned the searohlight on the wreck we
saw figure clad in long, white night
robe gazing at us, and voice, tren
bling with rage, called:
Marie, come down herel"

1t IL perhaps not generally known,
even in Brooklyn. that persons Of re-
spectacle appearance may travel on the
street cars Of that city when they have
no money. A woman who has left her
purse at home or man who has spent
all his change specializing in stocks, if
ordinarily well dressed, has only to tell
the conductor the condition Of affairs,
on boarding car, to get carried to any
desired point.
The conductor gives the penniless
passenger an envelope addressed TO the
Office Of the company, in which TO for
ward later the lacking nickel. This is
done M matter Of course, and only u
passenger who looks disreputable meets
with refusal.
The system has been in operation
some time, which ~ apparent proof that
the passengers who thus get trusted for
their fares use the envelopes given them
for the purpose for which they are in
tended. New York Sun.

Look through my very soul with thinei
Untouched with any shade Of years,

They have not shed many tears.
Dear eyes, since first knew them WELL
Yet tears they shed. They had their part

The still affection of the heart
Became an outward breathing type.
That into stiffness passed again
And left want unknown before,
Although the loss that brought US pain.
That loss hut made US love the more.

With blessings which no words can find.

Protect the system From Malaria

1t is possible to do this even in regions
of country where miasmais most rife, and
where the periodic fevers which it causes
assume their most formidable types. The
immense popularity of Hostetters Stom-
ach Bitters is very largely attributable to
the fact of its efficacy as remedy for
chills and fever, bilious remitents, and as
a preventive of the various forms of ma
larial disease. In those portions of the
west and south where complaints of this
nature prevail, and in the tropics, it is
particularly esteemed for the protective
influence which it exerts; and it has been
very widely adopted as a substitute for
the dangerous and comparatively ineffi-
cient alkaloid, sulphate of quinine. Ply
sicians have not been among the last to
concede it's merits, and the emphatic pro-
fessional Endorsements which it has re-
ceived have added to the reputation it has
obtained at home and abroad.

THE MICROBES WooINa.

Flashing through the halls Of space
At the riven lightning's pace,
There twinkling light appears,
Tireless from the million years
1t has travelled to our sight.
In the star fecked arch of night
God has set billion suns.
Each its course appointed runs.
Worlds and planets follow each
Without questioning or speech.
Systems circle, pause, retreat.
Their elliptic paths repeat,
Patient through unreckoned cons,
Chanting their majestic p@ans
In the music of the spheres
Never heard by human ears.
Star salutes its sister star,
Whirling without check or jar,
Without thrust Of piston rod.
In the grand machine of God.
And some spore, this moment born,
Doomed to die next moments morn,
Whose tiny frame one may not hope
To see with any microscope,
Turns toward the spangled sky
The marvel Of its atom eye
And cries: Heavens lanterns han
above
To light my wooing of my love!'
