A SHADOW OF THE ROCKIES.

The mountains from my window lie out
rolled
Their solemn peaks with coronals OF
snow
Der which the fires of dawn and sun
set flow.
And keen, high ridges by fierce winds
patrolled.
With evening comes mighty shadow
Across my doorway as the sun sinks
low.
And, high above, the loftier submits
show
Faint. as the twilight tames their out
lines bold.
Then from the heights the spirit Of re-
pose
Steals earthward. with the peace that
long has lain
Secure amid the deep untrOdden SHOWS
A shadow stream, for which my soul Is
fain.
That from the towering peak Of silence
flows.
And pours its balm upon the toiling
plain.

Viola started to her feet with glowing
cheeks and eyes that shone with fitful
fevered fire, and sprang forward.

her hands, lit is Bert Dalton"
The rector advanced smiling.
"Viola. are you glad to see me?"
"Oh. so glad. But how did you chance

You sent for me, Viola, and came. !"
II sent for you, Ber?'
He drew from his pocket the little
gold talisman.

"Of course, Hannah" said Viola
radiantly.
But. Viola"-the rector had come
close to her now-'is it to be with us as
In the days Of the golden token?"
If you think am worthy Of It,

And so the old love became new
again, and Viola and the rector of St.
Miles live happily together In the little
village OF Lyndedale, where they spent
all those happy days of the little gold
talisman.

"Alone, eh?" said Mrs. Spriggs.
"Well I'm dreadful glad to find you at
home. The fact is we're getting up a
gift box for the st. Miles mission in
New York, and I've come to get u con-
tribution from YOU"
II shall be glad to give all l can,"
said gentle Viola.
'Well, we calculated you would"
said Mrs. Spriggs, drawing out a
crumpled sheet Of paper and a paper
of pins and pencil. And we thought.

some of your cranberries-"
"With pleasure" said Viola. II will
send a box down in the morning."
And after the box was gone Viola

"Sure, miss, it's bad luck to lose the

She looked with falcon eyes for 1t,
but never found 1t.
The patron Of st. Miles was unpack-

came In.

rector, with good-humored grimace.
But here's box Of cranberries. That

THE TALISMAN.

o<>IOLA LEIGH was sweet enough
w to fascinate any man who was q
q Judge Of beauty. 1t Is not singu-
lar, therefore, that Bert Dalton and
Carl Devereaux were in love with her.
Bert was the more manly Of the two.
He had no very exalted opinion of Carl
and warned Viola against his atten.

So, after a summers Irritation with
her, Mr.. Carl Devereaux was going
away to Boston to be married. and

But Viola was not discouraged. She
went home and opened little glass

said, land the other. and II am ut

back to your SIDE"
The years crept by. and the people
began to talk of Viola Leigh as an old
maid. And yet she was not unhappy
In her quiet way. and SO Viola lived
serenely on.
She was sitting at work at her fire in
the November afternoon. when Mrs.
Deacon Spriggs knocked at her door.

rRO0LODYTES OF AFRICA.
Manners and Customs Unchanged fl
Several Centuries.

Manners and Customs Unclaimed for
Several Centuries.
If you want to be introduced to the
slowest people in the world you must
visit North Africa and make your way
across the scorching desert that separ-
ates from the rest Of the Inhabitants
of Africa the race known to the an
clients as the TrOglodytes. from the
Greek "troglois," hole. They were
given this name on account Of the habit
Of living in holes In the ground-a habit
that probably owes its origin to the
fact that old Sol in that quarter is a
very merciless old tyrant, and life
above ground is scarcely bearable ex-
cept when the sun has retired for the
night.
The Troglodytes are in the line of
caravan travel, and are visited by these
freight trains of the African desert.
No outside influence has been able.
however. to wean them from their an.
cient habits, their antique garb, and
their peculiar manner Of living. So far
as Is known. the manners and customs
of the Troglodytes have not changed
since Bible times. and any one coming
upon a group Of these people in the
present day. and comparing their ap-
pearance with descriptions extant that
some historians have regarded MS fabu-
lous. will see that they are precisely
the same now as they were many cen
turtles ago.
A Troglodyte city is the most curious
dwelling place in the world. From the
exterior 1t presents the aspect Of a
Roman circus. The habitatious are
