One poor fellow, falling on the curve
of the deck, was slipping overheard,
when he made last despairing grasp
at a stanchion and held on, calling
plaintively for help. A shrek of hor-

mates sprang to his assistance. He
never knew of their ready answer to
his call. He was dead when they ten

One cry, a few muttered curses, and

they had never been worked before,
and others to the seemingly hopeless

A FELLOWS LOVE.
BY HENRY ". NESFIELD.


continue the trail and, having at last
picked 1t up, he led the way, followed
at some little distance by the rest of
the party, across plateau, until at last
he arrived at the brink-a lofty preci-
pice.
Beneath him lay long, narrow val
ley. Hills covered with thick scrub
rose up on either side of it, while be-
yond, apparently only few miles dis
tant, could be seen plainly the long line
of the Gray Ranges.
At the bottom of the gorge was a
winding creek full Of sand and huge
powders; but, from the luxuriant
growth Of the gum-trees which lined
it, there could be no doubt but that an
ample supply of water was to be found
there.
Looking down upon these gums and
wattles from that dizzy height, they
seemed to be no larger than cabbage
plants, but Jack knew quite we'll that
the plateau they were on was probably
two thousand feet above the water
bed upon which he gazed.
By-and-by, as his eyes became more
accustomed to the scene, he fancied he
detected a thin line of smoke issuing
from the foliage below. Yes, it was
smoke. That curling line Of blue vapor
betrayed the presence of human be-
ings; probably it was a native en-
campment. The blacks were reported
to be very numerous and hostile in this
nearly unknown region, and it was adj
visable to take every precaution before
approaching them.
That's camp" exclaimed Jack,
scarcely above his breath, "and>a white
mans camp, too, I'll wager"
1t was decided after hurried discus
sion that one of the party should go
down and reconnoiter

Albert Ham, farmer of West Ores

chard which measures feet 10 inches
in circumference foot from the
ground, and at the height of feet the
trunk branches into four limbs almost
as large. Its great limbs are full Of
crooks and angles, but the whole
makes a good, shapely tree. 1t is over
a century old, and has borne well for
each year of the forty-seven it has been
in Mr.. Hams possession. One year it
gave him forty-three bushels of good
apples.

NOT MUCH OF A LOVE MATCH,
Ito be Continued.)

Queen wiihelminn's Marriage Largely
Governed by Reasons of state.
1t has been widely heralded that the
engagement of Hollands young queen
and the prince of Wied Is one in which
love cuts more of figure than any
thing else. There is very good reason
to believe that, while there may be
more affection between the two than
is usually the case in royal marriages,
reasons of state have as much to dc
with the prospective union as anything
else. One of these reasons has just
been pointed out by a European au-
shorty. The royal family and the
people of Holland generally want to
avoid the possibility that by the mar
riage of the young sovereign to
prince of a ruling family it might hap
pen after some time that through in
heritance a ruler of foreign country
might become also king of Holland
This might easily happen If the young
queen should marry prince of any
ruling European house. The Dutch
royal family and the people of Hol-
land do not wish to repeat the eXpe-
riences which the country has had in
the past. Such marriages were the
reasons for the Dutch war of indie
pendence in the sixteenth century, and
indirectly for the dividing of Belgium
and Holland into two Kingdoms in
1882. Just such a consort as was de-
sired by the Dutch people is found in
the prince of Wied, whose family is
absolutely without political influence
in Germany. During the dominance
of Napoleon in large part Of Euro
pean affairs the Wieds were deprived
of their throne After the evacuation
of Germany by the French it was con-
sidered best by the rulers Of all the
large German states not to restore
their thrones to the smaller princes,
included among whom were the princes
of Wied. The former territory of the
Wieds was therefore given to Prussia
In 1916, since when the princes of Wied
have been Prussian subjects, with less
influence in Germany than many of
the oldest noble families. Neverthe-
less, the Wied family is considered to |
be of equal birth to the other royal |
German families. Their title remains,
but that is all, as they have very small
family possessions. AS Bulwer says, |
The mate for beauty should be a
man, not a money chest" and when
he beauty is ALSO a queen this rule
should hold doubly good. The prince,
being an exceedingly presentable
young fellow and without any chance
If bringing up complications such as
he cautious Hollanders feared, was
ust the man to mate with her majes-
y Queen Wilhelmina. Hence his Sc
ection. His royal highness is poor,
)ut his wife will have enough for both,
md she is believed to know enough to
10 manage affairs that her royal con-
ort will be held in check should he
,ver manifest such gay tendencies as
lave characterized the ruler of the
kingdom of Belgium.

CHAPTER XVIII.

Jack Hall claimed that right, and
leaving his horse in charge of one OF
the troopers, he hunted about to try
to find some safe place where he could
make the descent. Presently he found
zig-zag path which had evidently
been worn by human feet, and which
appeared to lead directly down to
where he had observed the smoke.
By careful maneuvering he arrived
nearly at the bottom of the gully, and
he paused to make sure that his re-
volver was in readiness. Silently he
drew it from its sheath and examined
it. Then he gently continued his way,
avoiding every piece of dry wood that
lay in his path, the cracking of which
might betray his presence.
At length the ground became less
thickly timbered, and he felt sure that
he could not be far from the camp.
Straining his eyes, he could now dis
tinguish between the stems of the trees
a roughly-b built bark hut. 1t was not
above twenty yards from where he
stood, but the color of the bark made
it difficult to discern.
1t was, as he surmised, no native en-
campment. There was a chimney at
one end of it, which at once proclaimed
the inhabitants to be white men,
Lying down fiat upon the ground,
Jack Hall watched and listened.
Presently he heard voices. Then a
woman came out, and walked towards
a pile of frewood. Taking up chop
per, she split some up and carried it
into the hut.
Then he heard more talking, but he
was unable to distinguish what was
said.
An hour passed, and the sun began to
get low. If anything was to be done
that night it must be done quickly; So
creeping up on his hands and knees, he
at last regained his companions above
Motioning to them to be silent, he
withdrew the party to some little dis
lance from the edge of the precipice
and then told them all that he had
seen.
There can be no doubt about it
thew are there" he said. II did not go
up to Baynes' hut when it was
searched, and so did not see the
woman; but you did, father, and from
what you told me l am certain it is
She"
Then the matter rests now entirely
with you, sergeant" remarked Mr..
Hall. You give your orders, and we
will do our best to carry them out"
Gust so, sir" replied the trooper in
command. Then my orders are for
you all to spread out. Get down the
sides of the ravine as we'll together as
you can. Surround the hut and arrest
them at once. We have a good hours
light left yet"
The eight men then proceeded to
tether their horses on the fiat, and,
having made them all safe, they each
selected a spot at which to descend.
They then disappeared amongst the
scrub.
Some ten minutes elapsed. Then a
cry broke the silence-it was the voice
of William Luke.
Hurrying down rather more quickly
than his companions, he had seen one
of the occupants OF the hut standing
near the doorway.
The slamming to of a door was
heard, and almost simultaneously the
crackers emerged upon the valley.
There was no further necessity for
silence, for their presence had been be-
trayed by Luke's exclamation of sur
prise.
Two remain in the rear" cried the
sergeant-"one on either side. and the
others advance with mel"
