taneously upon the seas of matri-
mony and politics all England is pre-
dieting for the young man a brilliant
future.
Hart Dyke, whe is about "a years of
age, in spite OF complete blindness ex-
tending over period of IA years, is a
graduate, with high honors, q: Cam
bridge. Throughout his school and
college career he was under the tutel-
age of special instruc tors, who were
handsomely paid TO teach and espe-
cially fit the young man TO follow in
the political footsteps of Sir William.
his father, who, as vice president of
the committee of the privy council on
education, is virtually the minister of
public instruction of the British en-
pire, and as such occupies q seat in
the Salisbury cabinet.
For long time past the bridegroom
has been undergoing treatment by the
most noted of English specialists, and
while they have all along held out en-
couragement for the restoration OF his
sight, it was at the instance of the
young man himself that the moment
for the supreme test was made identi-
cal with the moment OF his supreme
happiness.
1t was in the church, when he was
about to go up to the altar to marry
the lovely daughter of Admiral Cave,
that the son of Sir William Dyke re-
ceived his sight, the surgeon who had
treated him for ten years removing
the bandages from his eyes.
The young benedict is very bril-
liant young man, and his parents IA
vorite. He is regarded as likely to
achieve the same amount of political
distinction as the late Prof. Fawcett,
who, in spite of being entirely blind.
held a chair at the University of Ok
ford, and who remains on record as
the most efficient and satisfactory
postmaster general that has ever held
Office in England.

Seeing that was determined, my
young companion silently acceded !;
and we slipped the heavy guns, al
ready cooked, over the edge of the
pit.
The lions still stood face to face,
looking at each other before the final
spring; and as the moon was shining
once more, they presented excellent
targets for our aim.

ing allotted to Khoolah.
believe the rifles must have spoken
together. for heard but one report.
Khoolah's lion sprang into the air
and fell back, rolling toward the wa
ter in his agonies. Mine tottered to
one side, breaking into cry of pain,
and then began a series of grotesque
tumbles, which threatened to land
him plump in the pit. Mortified at the
prospect, fell back into the opening,
and for second awaited the next
event, with white face and wildly
beating heart.
Khoolah, no less frightened,
crouched behind me, and 1 felt the
SILVER of fear that made him trem-
BILE.
Suddenly there came a quick, sharp
roar, and something passed over our
heads.
For little space of time we did
not seem to breathe, and when we VEN
tured to peep above the top of our
ion-pit, we saw but one lion-Khoo-
lah's-lying still, near the shining sur
face of the pool.
The other, whose skin had hoaed
to carry back to camp, after leaping
over our head in his fight, had entire
ly disappeared, and while we looked
and listened there came a savage roar
from the forest.
That was the last we heard of him,
and when the Natal boy had taken
off the skin to which he was entitled,
we returned to our quarters.
I remained in Natal a long time
after the adventure I have related,
and though Khoolah and 1 had more
than one bout with the wild animals
of the country, never suggested an
other lion-pit. My experience in that
direction had been enough. - Golden

After cycling one another a short

along the ground. and now they
walked erect, shaking their tawny
names and emitting low growls of de-
