A FELON'S LOVE.
BY HENRY W. NESFIELD.

with lanterns to light them at their
axes and shovels in raising the hearth
inside the hut.
Luke, In a wild state of excitement
was directing and urging them on to
their labors. The scene was curious
one, as the whole population OF the
place was gathered in and around the
hut specializing as to what possible dis
covery there might be made
The men had removed the rough
stones upon the hearth, and had dug
some four feet deep into the EARTH
when they stopped to take breath.
Go on-go on!" shouted Luke.
Deeper down yet-deeper down."
Keep quiet, Luke!" demonstrated
Mr.. Hall. Your exciting yourself like
this can do no good"
Luke sat down upon a bench and
buried his face in his hands. He could
not endure even the moments delay
which the men required for rest from
their toll.
Again the hut resounded with the
sound of the pick and shovel at work
But Luke looked up no more Mr. Halls
words had soothed his overweight
mind, and he waited patiently for what
might come.
Here's something anyhow" cried
one of the men-"a mans hand!"
Luke sprang to his feet, now unable
to control his excitement
"Gently-we are on it now!" said
one. There is more beneath. Mercy
on us-it's Bob!"
There, dismembered, lay the remains
of what once had been Robert Luke.
AT last! 1 knew i'll knew it,"
said a voice solemnly; and William
Luke sank down upon bench, shield
ing his eyes with his hands from the
horrid sight, and cried, Now may
Heaven send me my revenge!"

lives.
At one of these they halted for the
night, much to the disgust of the old
halter" who lived there with his
flocks, and who nursed a wholesome
antipathy to the entire human lace.
Cranky jim" he was called, and, il
a love of absolute solitude entitled him
to the name. he was undoubtedly de-
serving of IT,
Had he seen two people pass that
way about tep weeks ago? No, he had
not seen two people pass that way
and, what was more, he did not want
to see them. One was a woman, was
it? All, well, a woman was naught to
him; he had seen enough Of women in
his time, he had! His other remarks
were so full of imprecations and bias
phemy that Mr.. Hall ceased to interro-
gate him
On the second day they halted about
noon in sight of the sand-hills. This
was the great barrier which they knew
lay between the grass country on the
Barrier side and the Gray Ranges.
Mr. Hall had wisely insisted upon all
the water-bags being fifilled up at the
last good water-hole; and he felt con-
WINGED that, with the supply they car
ried, the fifty or sixty miles of desert
ought to be safely crossed by man and
beast,
1t was within two hours of shutdown
when the little party entered the I'M
L. Tho etc
YEARLY along, occasionally sinking in
to the sand up to their knees, and
struggling through the scrub and
prickly mimosa which grew plentifully
in places upon the low hills.
Nightfall came on, and the cavalcade
encamped; there was no sign OF water,
and they had to draw upon the supply
they carried with them.
Jack Hall had more than once enter
ed these inhospitable regions in search
of lost CATTLE and he was under the be-
lief that a more fertile country lay be-
yond it-how far distant of course he
could not say; but, from what he had
gathered from the blacks he believed
three days would see them through the
worst of it,
For two long days the travellers toiled
on through the heavy drifts of sand,
but towards shutdown on the third day
they beheld trees ahead, at the sight Of
which their spirits rose amazingly.
Mr.. Hall ordered half-rations of wa
ter to be served out to the men and
horses, for he was by no means conf
dent, because he beheld trees in the dim
distance, that he was going to find a
lake or an inexhaustible we'll.
Sullivan was the best-provided
person of the company for besides two
huge water-bags, he had liberal sup
ply of spirituous liquors, which he was
very liberal in dispensing-to himself.

WHEN ToLsToI WRITES BOOK

Count Leo Tolstoi is such an original
author that 1t is not in the least sur
prising that his modus operandi when
writing a book is equally SO. AS soon
as he has decided what the plot of a
new novel is to be he makes a rough
sketch of the whole, leaving out de-
tails, using for the purpose quarto pa
per of the commonest description,
probably from motives of economy, as
his handwriting is so large that he
uses an enormous amount of paper for
very little work; this he gives to his
wife or one of his daughters to rewrite
and reduce to something like neatness.
AS soon as the first manuscript is ready
he works up the plot and fills in some
Of the details, writing his own com
ments and ideas, for future alteration,
on the margin.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy
SYRUP or FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa'
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. IL
is the one perfect strengthening laxa'
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing tigi
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedr are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUfs
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
