on board and writes back to his par

We went down Snake river today and
had one Of the worst rides on a steam
boat ever had in my life. We are about
20 miles from Seven Devils and about
70 miles from Huntington. We RIM mo

to take the steamboat u Huntington again
but think they cannot do IL because it is
so swift and crooked. They are going to
put in some kind of II steam arrangement
to help the boat up the river.

went down give some amusing

A Monster Devil Fish.

Portland ~Oregonian: The largest
and most Notwithstanding octopus, or
devil fish, ever seen in Portland was
displayed in front of a fish market at
Third and Ankeny streets recently and
attracted much attention, being sur
rounded by a crowd all day. 1t is i'm
possible accurately 10 state the length
of the %tentacles or arms Of the monster,
as some were festooned on the hooks in
the vicinity of the one on which the
monster hung, while others were coiled
in the snow on the sidewalk. IL was
evident that the reach of the tenCles
would cover thirty or forty feet. The
sack shaped body could be dis,ended
SO as TO hold a good-sized boy. and the
thing, when alive and i'm good pas
ture," probably weighed 100 to $50
pounds. At least these figures are an
average of the estimates made by the
crowd. The long tentacles were thick
ly covered with suckers from end TO
end, those near the head--shrunken
when the fish was killed being large
enough TO cover a silver dollar. and
probably when the fish was alive and
able 10 expand and contract them

The crowd gathered around listened
with open mouths to the story OF a fish
erman. who told them that the devil
fish had swamped and smashed a boat
and chased the crew ashore.

Paper Cartridges Used in Civil War

New London Comm Day: A New
London man made an interesting dis
covery the other day. While rummag-
ing i'm the garnet of his house he picked
up an old army knapsack carried by
his brother in the federal army i'm the
dark days Of 'S1 TO '65. He opened the
knapsack and found within quite a
number Of wartime cartridges, which,
as all veterans know, are quite diff
ferent from those now i'm use. They
are paper cartridges, the end Of which
had TO be bitten OFF by the man in the
ranks before loading his musket. A
Day reporter showed the cartridges to
several army veterans, and their eyes
blazed at the sight. They acted like
they had just been introduced TO an
old friend whom they had not seen for
many years. One of the eX-soldiers
said the commands for loading in the
days of the war were as follows:
Handle cartridge. tear cartridge,
charge cartridge, draw hammer, ram
cartridge, return hammer, prime, ready
aim, fe." At present the order Isl:
Load, ready. aim, fire" The paper
shell is n thing of the long ago and the
brass shell has taken its place, but il
makes mn old vet feel young again TO
get his hands on one of those old
timers, though as "A rule the teeth Of
the G.. A. II. man would hardly stand
biting the paper end off these late days.

ANECDOTES OF THE QUEEN.
She Approved of a Trouneing That Was
Administered to wales.

Apropos of the queens recent s%ojourn
at Balmoral a north of Scotland news
paper has been cleaning from among
the Deeside %peasantry some new stories
about her maiesty's early visits TO her
highland residence. One OF these re-
lates to the boyhood Of the prince of
Wales, says the Scottish American.
The prince on one occasion, when lie
had temporarily escaped from the sur
VIGILANCE OF the parental eye, played a
trick sn q young country lad whom be
saw approaching with a basket Of eggs
on his arm, the result OF the trick being
TO break all or most of the eggs. The
lad was a tough Aberdonian aud could
not brook this injury, so he turned to
and doubling his fists gave the prince a
thrashing in spite of the latter protest
that he was the prince of Wales.
prince an a though We be, said the
boy, "ye'd pae business tae bleaS III
eggs" Just then the queen appeared,
having seen part of the fray. She
quietly said: You are quite right, my
lad; he had no right to break youreggs
and he richly deserves what YOU have
given him." Her majesty at,erward
made inquiries about the boy and seut
him to school at her own expense.
Another story relates 70 her majesty's
visit Ia the cottagers in the ~neighbor-
hood. On one occasion, when she had
been making calls among the cottage
women, she dropped in. on her way
back 10 the castle. at the house Of an old
woman who did not know her visitor.
The old lady was both talkative and
querulous; and, referring to a fete at
which the queen had been present that
day, complained about people, includ-
ing her own household, running like
mad to see a common clay woman"
Her grievance was that she had to wait
till her folks returned in order TO get
her tea, for she was too feeble to make

CHATTER XIX.

CAPTAIN LASGToS DESPERATE.
A short period of calm fell upon Darrell
Court. Miss Darrells passion seemed TO
have exhausted itself.
Il will never believe" she said one day to
Miss Hastings, that Sir Oswald meant what
he said. | am beginning TO think il was
merely a threat-the Darrells are all hot-tem-
pered."
But Miss Hastings had heard more than
she liked to tell her pupil, and she knew that
what the baronet had said was not only quite
true, but that preparations for the marriage
had actually commenced.
Il am afraid it was no threat, Pauline"
| she said, sadly.
Then let the newcomer beware" said the
girl, her face darkening. whoever she may
30, let her beware. l might have been a
good woman, but this viii make iie . wick
ell one. i shall live only for revenge"
A change came over her. The improve
ment that Miss Hastings had so fondly no.
tlced, and of which she had been so proud,
died away. Pauline seemed no longer to
take any interest in reading or study. She
would sit for hours in gloomy, sullen silence,
with an distracted look on her face. What
was passing In her mind no one knew. Miss
Hastings would 60 to her, and try TO rouse
her; but Pauline grew impatient.
do leave me In peace" she would say.
"Leaye me to my own thoughts. am franz
ing my plans"
And the smile that came with the words
filed poor Miss Hastings with terrible appre-
tensions as TO the future OF her strange, will
full pupil.
The captain was still at the Court. He
had had some vague idea Of rushing OF to
London; but a letter from one Of his most
intimate friends warned him 10 keep out OF
the way until some arrangement could be
made about his affairs. More than one angry
creditor was waiting for him; indeed, the
gallant captain had brought his affairs TO
such a pass that his appearance in London
without either money or the hope of IL would
have been mighty dangerous.
He was desperate. Sir Oswald had limited
to him, since the failure Of their plan, thai
he should not be forgotten In his will. lie
would have borrowed money from him but
for that hint; but he did not care 10 risk the
loss of many thousand pounds for the sake
OF fifteen hundred.
Fifteen hundred-that was all he wanted.
II he could have gone back TO London the
betrothed husband Of Pauline Darrell, he
could have borrowed as many thousands; but
that chance was gone; and he could have
cursed the giriish caprice that deprived him
OF 10 splendid q fortune. In his heart fierce
love and fierce hate warred together; there

but she had not turned page. Miss Hast
