That Debt of Gratitude.

Young Mrs. barley was ushered into
the judges presence. He was twirling
her card in his fingers and smiling. As
she approached, he rose from his seat
and extended his hand cordially. Grasp
ing hers, he held it long time.
well, well" he said genially, $50 you
are the only daughter of my old friend
Gazzam, are you? am delighted to see
you. You resemble your father wonder
fully, and he was a handsome man
Pray be seated"
Mrs. barley was pleased at this recep
ton, and smiled as she took the chair he
indicated.
Judge" she said, my father often
told me that if ever needed favor, ]
should have no hesitancy in coming to
you, for you would do anything in rea.
son tor me-"
THAT is true, my dear, replied the
Judge. Never were there closer friends
than your father and myself We were
boys together, and he saved me from
drowning one summer when we were
swimming together. I'd have been bur.
led long ago had it not been for him
and he was the first to go, after all"
The judge sighed. His friend Gazzsm
had been dead about 10 years, but this
was the first time he had ever met his
daughter.
"And now, my dear, tell me what !
can do for you. You are not in deep
distress, hope? Your husband is quite
well, think you said"
She had not said so, but Mr.. barley
was quite we'll
1T was concerning my husband l

ley, land to afford you an opportunity
of repaying the debt of gratitude you
seem to think you owe dear papa"

Indeed, there is no seeming about it. l

Webster's Idea of the Great Orator.

"The orator who would do justice to a
great theme or great occasion must
thoroughly study and understand the
subject; he must accurately and, it, pos
sible. infinitely digest in writing before
hand the substance, and even the form,
of his address; otherwise, though he
may speak ably, he will be apt not to
make in all respects an able speech. He
must entirely possess himself beforehand
of the main things which he wishes to
say. and then throw himself upon the
excitement of the moment and the sym.
pathy of the audience. In those por-
tions of his discourse which are didactic
or narrative, he will not be likely to
wander, in any direction, far from his
notes; although even in those portions
new facts, illustrations will be apt to
spring up before him as he proceeds.
But when the topic rises, when the mind
kindles from within, and the strain be-
comes loftier, or holder, Or more pathet-
ic, when the sacred fountain of tears is
ready to overflow, and audience and
speaker are moved by one kindred SYM
pathetic passion, then the thick-coming
fancies can not be kept down, the store
house Of the memory is unlocked, images
start up from the slumber of years, and
all that the orator has seen, read, heard
or felt returns in distinct shape and vivid
colors. The cold and premeditated text
will no longer suffice for the glowing
thought. The stately, balanced phrase
gives place to some abrupt, graphic ex'
preston, that rushes unbidden to his
lips. The unforeseen incident or locality
furnishes an apt and speaking image
and the discourse instinctivey trans
poses itself into higher key" From
Daniel Webster" by Senator George F
Hoar, in the August Fiction Number O
Scribner's.

do owe him a debt of gratitude. But
about your husband, Mrs barley. He
doesn't-ill-treat you-it isn't divorce
case, l hopel"
"Oh no, judge, nothing of the sort"
And Mrs. barley laughed so cheerily
that he knew his visitor was happily
married.
ITS this way, Judge. I'm to go away
to Colorado for month, and thought
if you could put George on a jury, to
keep him occupied while I'm gone-a nice
long murder trial, or something of that
sort-I could go away and beso content
ed the while, and you could repay the
debt of gratitude you owe dear papa"
The judge thought he might be able to
do something of the sort, and Mrs. OAR
ley left in very comfortable frame Of
mind.

EXPERIENCES WITH LEECHEs.
The Pest Has Driven Game From the
HimaIaya Region.
From Public Opinion.

L rom Buonc Opinlon
There are some experiences related by
Major Waddell in his new book which no
| tourist in the Himalayas would like to re-
peat. We would all fight shy of the ieeches
| in that damp forest of the Teesta Valley.
When a leech is famishing he is only as
thick as a knitting needle" In that con-
dition he is the hungry enemy of every two
or four-footed creature that crosses his
path. And the leeches were everywhere.
They stood alert on every twig of the
brushwood that overhung our track and on
every dead leaf on the path. And as We
approached they lashed themselves vigor-
ously to and fro in the wild endeavor to
seize hold Of us. The instant they touch
their victim they fix themselves firmly and
then mount nimbly up by a series of rapid
somersaults till they reach a vulnerable
point; and then they lose not an instant in
beginning their surgical operations Our
poor servants and coolies who walked bare
footed were, of course badly bitten. From
their ankles and legs little streams of blood
trickled all day, and at every few steps
they had to stop and pick off these horrid
little pests, and it was often difficult to dis
lodge them" Major Waddel and some of
his friends took the precaution OF dusting
their stockings with tobacco snuff, and
binding their legs from ankle TO knee with
"putties." But the leeches got in all the
same through the eyelets of our boots''
Numbers of them. haXing drunk all they
could hold, "crept down into our boots, and
there got squashed and all this had
happened quite unconsciously to us 1t was
pitiful also to see the poor cattle ponies
and goats in these leech-infested forests
Their legs were always bleeding more or
less, and these pests lodge in their nostrils,
and hang from their eyeliSs and various
parts of their body. To dislodge them from
the recesses of the nose the herdsmen 1t
is said, keep the poor beasts from water
for a day or so. and then when the animal
drinks the leeches show themselves and
may be removed. All the Lepchas have
their legs covered with the scars of these
leechbites, and the actual loss of blood in
this way must very great. / have no
doubt that these pests have something to
do with the remarkable absence of four
footed game in these regions"
