Every effort was being made to
track the perpetrator OF the crime and
avenge the captains death; but SO
far the rebels had escaped.
And you yourself were the only one
near when he died?" she said, through
the tears which were now streaming
silently down her pallid. lovely face.

at sight of his ill-concealed emotion,
she checked her tears and laid her
golden head upon his shoulder with
a trustful tenderness that went to his

that he spoke truly.

ANIMAL LIFE IN MARS.
Why the Msrtians Must Have Devei-'
oped Peculiar Characteristlcs-

oped Peculiar characteristics
Mars possesses so many features in
common with the earth that it is I'm
possible to resist the thought that 1t
also has inhabitants, says the Natioaal
Review. This is, however, by no means
equivalent to saying that Marian folk
are constituted in the same way as
human beings; indeed, every consid-
Grafton points to the contrary. What
ever atmosphere exists on Mars must
be much thinner than ours, and far
too rare to sustain the life of a peo-
pie with our limited lung capacity. A
race with immense chests could live
under such conditions, or a folk with
gills like fishes could pass a comfort
able existence in spite Of the rarefied
air. The character of life anywhere Is.
in fact, nodded by the external cir
cumstances, and as these are known
to be different on Mars from what they
are on the earth. Marian inhabitants
must have developed peculiar charac-
teristics in order to adapt themselves
to their environments-the forms of
life capable of fiourishing in attenuat-
ed air have survived, while those re-
quiring denser air have dropped out OF
existence. The tenuity of the atmos-
phere of Mars is not the only fact
which suggests that the inhabitants
of that planet are not fashioned after
the image of man. II is known beyond
the possibility of doubt that the force
with which a substance is attracted
to the surface of Mars is but little
more than a third as strong as 1t Is
on the earth; or, to express the point
in figures. 100 pounds on the earth
would only weigh So pounds on Mars
IL tested in a spring balance. In con-
| sequence of this weaker pull, 1t would
be possible for human being to per-
form astonishing feats on Mars with
out excessive muscular eXertion. A
man who could jump five feet here
could top fifteen there; he could lift
three hundred-weight by putting out
the same strength as 1t required to
raise one hundred-weight on the earth;
he could spring across road as easily
as he now leaps over a mud puddle,
and a couple of bounds would carry
him to the top Of a fight OF stairs. But.
paradoxical as 1t may seem, the small
er a planet and, consequently, the less
the pull of gravity at its surface, the
greater is the probability that its in
habitants are giants compared with us.
Terrestrial giants are generally weak in
the knees; they are crushed by their
own weight. But on Mars they would
only weigh one-third as much and
would therefore be able to move about
in a sprightly fashion, so that an ele-
plant there might be quite a nimble
animal. "ss

The Largest Hand In the World.

The largest band in the world is that
of the Catholic Protectory Of New
York. 1t is made up Of boys belonging
in that institution, and has 200 mem
bers. They were in line st. Patrick
day in New York and from the start to
the finish filled the air with melody.
One hundred boys are in the brass
and reed section, and another hundred
make up the martial section composed
Of fifers and drummers. The boys
play remarkably well and render tho
popular airs OF the day with a spirit
and harmony that evokes the applause
of the spectators.

CHAPTER VI.

II had been morning of dangerous
heat, and now noon-the long, breath
less Indian noon-was at its meridian
when, on a day in May, Don Gordon
arrived at Rawal Pindi and rode out
under burning sun to Lille Der
vents house.
The durwan met him with evident
surprise and the intimation that 1.-THE
gates were closed" (polite Hindostani
for mot at home'), and for an instant
Don's heart stood STILL with a vague
fear Of he knew not what.
Then suddenly he remembered il was
the hour of siesta. time when visits
are never paid in India: and reas-
sured, he dismounted from his horse,
and, presenting his card with the OBJ
servation that "the memsahib would
be sure to see him on receipt OF that"
| he passed through the vestibule with
masterful step, and went unannounced
into the drawing room to await Lilies
| coming.
How long he waited he knew not.
| He walked to the window and noted,
as the mind will note the yeriest trifies
at moments of tense excitement, that
the great adjutant birds were still doz-
ing in the sunshine, and the peacocks
were spreading their gorgeous plumes
on the terrace, as when last he looked
oul upon 1t from this same window.
The oleander, with its clusters of
pink; the baubel, with its perfumed
bells Of gold; the jasmine and acacia,
luxuriant in their wild beauty; the
blue jays and the crested yellow spar
rows, fitting from shrub to shrub: the
brilliant butterflies, sailing through the
voiceless air-all was unchanged, only
the fair Indian home would know its
master never more.
Never more! There was something
terrible In the conviction, something
appalling to Don to remember that
death, chill and stern and awful, lay
beyond this warm young, world of bud
ding beauty.
A sharp groan fell from his lips,
stified even as It escaped them; for
the portiere had rustled. and he turned
