Surprising Apology,

A young advocate before the Scotch
lords OF session, on hearing decision
against his client, which he deemed con-
strary to law and justice, so far forgot
himself as to eSclaim that he was ''sur-
prised at such decision" Their lord
ships were very angry, and were con-
sidering how to mark their sense Of the
advocates impertinence, when pawky
old councillor rose, and besought their
lordships' forgiveness for the slip his
young brother advocate had made. ..It
was purely lack of experience that led
him into error. Had he known your
lordships half as long as have done,
I'm hanged if he would have been sur
prised at anything your lordships said
or did."-London Household Words.

crowd of 'em! Now set fire to your

For one instant, following the guides
look, Catlett turned to see sight that
he never cared to behold again-the
oncoming of Comanche war band.
Round the point of the ridge on leap
ing ponies, with bodies naked to the
waist and faces brightly painted, car
rying lances, bows and rites, they.
came-25 in number, the most skillful
and daring riders of all the Indian
tribes. They were a third Of a mile

EN-" said Bronson, and set the spurs
hard into his horses flank. ''It's ten
mile run, with our lives at stake"
Both the hunters had good horses,
and they put them to their full speed.
The Indians, in their first rush, came
within quarter of mile of them, but
after that the hunters managed to
keep this distance good. If no saddle
fastening parted, if neither horse
should slip or break leg in a prairie
dog hole or lag from exhaustion, the
two might hope to get to the arroyo
and across in advance Of their pur-
suers. But ride as they might, they
could not widen the space between
themselves and the Indians, much less
shake off the tircless pursuit.
AS they rode the thunder growled,
lightning flashed from the dark cloud
in the north, and the heavy rain con-
cealed the bluffs from view, while the
sky was clear above the stretch of
prairie on which the two men and their
pursuers were riding their race for life
or death. The horses painted painfully
and their sides were flecked with foam
when at last the hunters refined them
at the brink of the arroyo. Down the
channel which four hours before they
had crossed on dry sand, muddy cur
rent, extending from bank to bank
was pouring, with rising flood behind
it. They put their horses at the water
already risen to their stirrups, plunged
through it and gained the other bank
Looking up from mid-stream, Catlett
saw the gathering flood sweeping down
like a waterfall. Ten minutes later
they would have come too late to cross

Huxley and Arn0ld.

Dean Farrar records in his s.Men I
Have Known" an amusing and perfect
~ good-natured retort which Mr.. Mat
thew Arnold provoked from Prof. Hux-
ley, for the better appreciation of which
it may be added that the sweetness
and light" of which Mr.. Arnold wrote
were exemplifed in his own very airy
and charming manners: II sometimes
met Huxley in company with Matthew
Arnold, and nothing could be more de-
lightful than the conversation elected
by their contrasting Municipalities. I
remember walk which I once took
with them both through the pleasant
grounds of Paris Hill, where Mr.. Ar
nold's cottage was. He. was asking
Huxley whether he liked going out to
dinner parties, and the professor an
swered that asa rule he did not like It At
all. 'Ah,' said Mr.. Arnold, 4 rather like
it. 1t is rather nice to meet people. ,
oh, yes replied Huxley, but we are
not all such everlasting cupids as you
are!' "-Youth's Companion.

viewing things in general. Coming in
doors the other day from playing in the
garden, he strolled into the reception
room, where he espied a strange lady.
Now, the doctor had just brought
Master Cyril q new little brother, with
whom he was told he would always be
able to play. When therefore he saw
another stranger. who seemed as if she,
too, had come to stay, he sauntered past
her, with his hands in his pockets, and,
glancing ut her i'll a casual sort of n
way, contemptuously remarked to him
self, but in u tone loud enough to be
heard by the visitor:
"'H'ml More company! If there's
much more company coming to this

both no good for cricket, I know. He's
