polita, her arms Tightening upon me
in fond hug, but thou art a merry
youth and handy one with thy wea-
pom"
We now set forward again upon our
way, and / presently found to my NOR
tifcation that in the bout with Prince
Timothy, if really the knave had right
to that title, my noble charger had got
a sprain and had become dead lame.
The heavens We're now completely
clouded over, and the rain began to
fall in great drops, there were sudden
and violent guests of wind, and ever
and anon came distant rumblings of
thunder, so that it behooved us to get
straightway to some place of shelter.
lifted the willowy form Of Ippolita
from Aldebaran, and leaving him in
the road for lack of knowing what else
to do with him, we struck across coun-
try, and ascended a great rocky hill,
upon which it seemed to that I beheld
light. When we got to the top of IT.,
we found no habtation whatever, but
there were some trees and overhanging
crags, beneath which we found some
sort Of protection from the storm,
which now came upon us in full force.
1 shall never be able to describe that
storm, had never imagined anything
like it, and I really believe that there
never was worse one. The gusts OF
wind became hurricane which tore
the very trees out by the roots, the
rain fell in solid sheets, the lightning
was so continuous that I could have
read a good sized book through, with
out once stopping, and the thunder
was so terrible and stupendous that 1t
seemed to be ripping the very bowels
out Of the earth. We had found
fairly reasonable shelter from the
blasts and torrents on the lea side OF

a great overhanglng rock, and here,
with her dear he'd upon my shoulder.
Ippolita, worn out with the fatigues
of that day and night, and crushed
by the CHASTITY experiences to which
her innocent and gentle nature had
been subjected, fell into a sweet and
untroubled sleep, which lasted through
all that great and frightful storm.
Several times, between the echoes or
the thunder, 1t seemed as though
heard her breathe my name, and as
looked at the lovely and unfortunate
lamb, l swore, by every saint in the
calendar. to devote my life henceforth
to her service.
Soon after she began to slumber, I
felt something cold and moist touch
the hand by which l held her to me.
and turning l beheld that it was the
nose of that faithful beast Nero, wlNr
had followed us all those weary mil1s,
and who now stood guard. like trusty
Cerebus, over the sleeping form of his
Incompatible mistress.
7 shall never forget one feeling which
had when the storm was at its
height. and that was rocking and
pitching sensation as though I were in
| a boat on rough sea. This kept up
| for quite while and then felt a sud-
| den sinking, a sudden qualm about
my stomach and my heart, which last
ed for fully five minutes, so that my
bowels seemed to come up into my
| throat. 1t was exactly the sort OF
feeling which a man has when going
quickly down the lift of one Of those
J thi 'ty-story buildings, only much
worse, and l wouldn't like to ex-
perience the like again. And now the
whole ground around us seemed to 10
flooded with water, and the waves
dashed almost to our very feet; and 1
thought it was something strange that
tn floods could have arisen to the top
of that high hill.
r'he lightning now ceased and the
storm went down, and l must have
slept some myself, as when 1 next
took note of my surroundings l found
the daylight had come. And what an
awakening that was, and what a sur
prise was that which was awaiting
me, a surprise. miraculous, prodigious,
stupendous and sublime. u surprise
which beggars all description, and
VIII .ch 1t is useless for me to attempt
the portrayal of. When I awoke and
azed about me, the principality OF
Fironzalino had vanished and Ippolita
and l We're seated upon a rocky island,
of scarce an acre in area. and round
about us were the pellucid waters of
tn very lake which I had crossed in
or Ter to scale the sides of the mesa
encantada. There had been another
earthquake, like unto the one of 1892;
the country of the exiles, of the Pazzi
an the Albizzi, had gone down again
into the bowels of the earth; and of
it's city, its inhabitants, its flocks and
herds, it's vineyards, streams and
forests, naught remained, save the re-
membrance of the one day which 1 had
passed in that fairylike and romantic
realm.
When say this, of course I except
the high born and beautiful Ippolita.
who was ten times more precious to
me, in that she was now the only
human thing left to remind me of my
most wonderful and fascinating ex-
perience. There was also the trusty
| Nero.

in less time than it takes to tell it, a

GIVES AWAY ms PARTNER.

We know of a certain American editor, who when in Sonora and runs out of funds, which is the rule with him, he drops in on his first friend and asks for loan of S or SIo for a few hours. He usually calls before leaving town with the plea that he is in hnrry and hasn't the change but will credit the amount up on a subscription to his paper, until many of his friends have their subscriptions paid sew eral years in advance. One of his victims says he is now credited up to the year 1881 and hopes the edi- tor and himself will both live until the subscription expires.- Vidette.
 It is positively shocking, Frank, that you should give away in so scandalous a manner the peculiar methods of your new partner and associate; for the above assertions read exactly like some of the tricks of which MT. up to Date" is ac- cused by business men in Sonora.
 The "up to date" journalist should hurry back to Nogales, or before he is aware Frank will be unwittingly divulging numerous other family secrets. e. g. the way in which the fake books are worked off on news dealers, or that little watch transaction down in Sonora.

BUT THERE ARE OTHERS.

If the trials of a newspaper man, according to "Newspaperdom, '" should make man "sweet and gen tie of temper" what should a man become who has to bear the com bined burdens of an editor and school teacher2-Williams News.
 But for opportunities for sweeten- ing his own disposition the peda- gogue editor isn't in it at all beside the editor who from the tripod ped dies toys and chewing gum.

THE Commercial-Appeal of Mem phis, Tennessee, is dissatisfied with the way Uncle Sam does business, and asks if the daredevils who went to Klondyke to hunt gold are enu- tied to government aid, why are not those Americans who are engaged in legitimate business and need money entitled to help' In short, why aren't we all entitled to it' The newspaper which runs its name in sections like a busy railway runs its trains, fails to distinguish be- tween what is given as charity and what would be given as matter of right. Common humanity approves of government aid for the starving Klondykers.

WHEN the China closet is over turned by Germany and Russia, Great Britain is determined to have a full share of the broken porcelain. That's proper.
