CHAPTER XIV.

Two days and nights have elapsed;
no answer has been received TO the
doctors hastily-despatched telegram;
and Shell, sitting patiently beside her
charges, begins to think that the ad-
dress given by Piper must have been
an erroneous one. Nor has a profess
sional nurse put in her appearance
the children are going on so favorably
that the doctor deems the services OF
one unnecessary, since Shell is de-
termined not to quit her post, and in
deed has given a promise to that effect
to her little patients.
She is quite isolated from the rest of
the household. The children are in
stalled in a large room at the end of
the passage which on their arrival was
fitted up as a night-nursery. Shell is
with them all day; at night she occu-
pies the roomy old sofa in the adJuin-
ing room, leaving the door of COM
munication open.
All intercourse with the outer world
is carried on cautiously round the sat-
urated sheet which cuts her off from
the household in general. Yet some
how Shell has no feeling of isolation;
she has books in plenty to occupy her
when the children sleep, and during
their waking hours she has work
enough to keep them amused.
She is sitting at the ivy-wreathed
easement on the third morning, look
ing out for the doctors visit, when a
hired carriage drawn by pair of hors-
es. turns suddenly into the front yard.
She cannot see the occupants as it
passes beneath the window, and the
front of the house is also out of sight.
She rises from her seat with a
strange feeling of confusion and nerv-
BUSINESS; she would give worlds to be-
come invisible; she even glances out
of the window, as If medltating escape
in that direction.
Then steps are heard down the pas
sage. the door-handle turns, and the
next moment Robert Champley enters
the room, followed by the housekeeper
at Champley House.
Papa, papa" shrek two shrill lit
tie voices; land Tolley-dear old Toll
ley!"
The children are caressed and quiet
ed. whilst Mrs. Tolley delights them
with a huge bunch of flowers which she
has brought with her.
Then Robert Champley crosses over
to the window where She'll is standing
in the background. The girl looks
pae and almost stern, though-a very
unusual thing with Shell-she is trem-
bling visibly.
Shell, how can ever thank you for
this?" says Mr.. Champley, in a tone
broken by emotion.
There is nothing to thank me for
that / see," answers Shell coldly. IT
like nursing-if mamma would only let
me should like to enter a hospital"
mo young and beautiful woman can
like nursing smallpox cases." rejoins
Robert Champley.
II is the first time in Der life that
Shell has been called beautiful" and
quick flush rises to her white skin
which really renders her so for the
momsnt. Then she breaks into a
laugh.
ut is chicken-pox-not smallpox"
she says quickly.
Are you sure?" asks her compan-
ion, whilst a look Of relief lights up
his whole face.

Europeans are killed by the tigers
bite, as we'll as lacerated by the claws.
In nearly all cases the bite penetrates
to the lungs. This kind of wound is
characteristic of the attacks of many
of the felidae. Scarcely any bird re-
covers from a cats bite for the same
reason. The canine teeth are almost
instantly driven through the lung, un-
der the wing. The cheetah, which has
very small mouth, always bites
through the black bucks throat. The
leopard, when selling smaller animals,
such as dogs, brushes the head; when
attacking men it aims at biting
through the lungs.

A muZzled mastiff will hurl man
to the ground in the effort to fasten its
teeth in his throat or shoulder. Then,
the driving and crushing force of the
jaw muscles is astonishing. The snap
ping power of an alligator's jaws is
more or less ineligible. They are
long, and furnished with a row OF
pointed teeth from end to end. But
the jaws of lion, leopard, tiger, otter,
ferret, or baboon are short, and the
long and pointed teeth are few. Yet
each of their species has biting power
which in proportion to its size is al
most incredible,

BITES OF ANIMALS.

Apart from all concomitant danger Of
blood poisoning, the severity of the
bites of fesh-eating animals is out Of
all proportion to the weapons by which
they are inflicted. The teeth, even Of
the largest carnivora, are merely the
"spearheads;;" but the force which
works" these instruments is prodi-
gious. 1t seems as if for the moment
the animal threw all its bodily energy
into the combination Of muscular ac-
ton, which we call bite" In most
cases the mere shock of impact, as the
animal hurls itself on its enemy is en-
tirely demoralizing, or inaicts physical
injury.

After that the way was easier. The

Sir Samuel Baker, who had long
and varied acquaintance with the bites
of the carnivora, noticed that the tiger
usually seized an Indian native by the
shoulder, and with one jaw on one side
and the other on the other, bit clean
through chest and back. "The fatal
wound was the bite, which through
back and chest, penetrated to the
lungs"

A MUSICIANS YOUTH.

1t was by a devious path some steps
OF which were painful, that Verdi be-
came musician. When he was seven
years old, his mild and somewhat mel
ancholy temperament attracted the at
tention of the parish priest, and he
received the appointment of acolyte at
the village church of lie Roncole. One
day priest was celebrating mass, with
Verdi as his assistant, when the boy
| became so carried away by the music
that his duties were entirely forgotten.
'Water!" whispered the priest, but
Verdi did not respond. Then, think
ing his request had not been heard,
the celebrant repeated "Water!"
Still there was no reply, and, turn
ing round, the priest found the server
gazing in wonder and delight at the
organ.
"Water!" demanded the priest, for
the third time, accompanying the or
der with such a well-directed move
ment of the foot that the little Verdi
was pitched headlong down the altar
steps. In falling he struck his head,
and was carried to the vestry quite I'M
conscious.
Perhaps it was this incident, to-
gether with the childs unbounded de-
light in the organ music he heard in
the street, that induced his father, who
was an innkeeper, to add a spinet, or
pianoforte, to his worldly possessions
But it was several years after this
that his vocation was temporarily de-
cided for him, though fate afterward
stepped in and undid the decision.
why do you want to be a musi.
cian?" asked his confessor. "You
have a gift for Latin, and must be a
priest"
Meanwhile, the lad became an Of
flee boy in Brezzis wholesale grocery
store, and for little over seven dol
lars year played the organ in the
church at Roncole; but one day it
happened that Father Seletti, who had
decided that the boy should be a monk,
was officiating at mass while Verdi
played the organ. The priest was
struck with the unusual beauty OF the
music, and at the close Of the service
expressed a desire to see the organist.
Verdi appeared, and the priest recog-
nized him as the pupil whom he had
sought to turn from music to theology.
Whose music were you playing?"
asked Seletti. 1T was beautiful"
Verdi said, shyly, that he had
brought no music with him that day,

Old Alb Drake.

Old Alb Drake was one of the "odd
sticks that hourished in a Vermont
rural neighborhood a good many years
ago. His wife was a meek, obedient,
spiritless woman, over whom Alb tyran-

slipped out of this world. Old Abs
panegyrios on his dead wife's virtues
were loud and long. Before the funeral
he said to one of his neighbors: "She

Novel Reading.

1t is interesting to know the opinion
of so hard a worker and so earnest
player as Mr.. Balfour on one of the
most easily accessible and delightful
recreations of modern times-noyel
reading.
When entertained at the Sir Walter
Scott club, he spoke freely on the pres
emit day position of the novel, calling it
a really necessary luxury. 1.-THE world
will insist upon tobacco, daily papers
and novels until the end of time.
Though literature by no means carries
all the cardinal virtues in its train, still
it is the greatest engine for the produo-
ton of cultivated happiness.
