A card sharper who had evidently beer

farm servants in public house. Failing
to interest the company in the mysteries
of the three card trick, he, in apparent
sheer desperation. exclaimed:
'Well, look here, chaps, I'll bet any OF

spades, any Of you to shuttle and arrange
q pack of cards as you like" at the same
time producing the pack, which he push.
ed toward likely victim, who agreed &c

The sharper then took his knife ami

CHAPTER Nv.

The shadow of ~premonition reste1 on
Grace H~awthorne's spirit, when. in the
early dawn of the new day, she shook
off the lethargy of slumber from her
young limbs, and slowly .uplifted the
weary fringed lids from the sleep
flushed cheeks.
A smile lurked in the corners of her
mouth, as. though born OF her dreams;
the light of joy sparkled in the violet
eyes,
She was scarce awake, but already
she remembered. The world held new
meaning to her to-day.
She had interpreted it's secret-the
secret which gives 70 the birds song
their music, to the flowers their fra
GRANGE and their beauty, to the heart
its pulse.
Yesterday she had existed; to-day
she had begun to live.
She rose and dressed. The servants
were not yet stirring when she de-
scended the stairs, and, drawing the
~fasterings of the great outer door,
went out into the garden.
But early as she was, the birds and
fomers We're earlier still, though from
the latter the suns rays had not yet
kissed away the sparkling dewdrops,
and the birds sang with hushed notes,
as though fearing to awaken the sleep
ing world.
do you know" whispered the child
TO the flowers.
And she fancied the answering rustic
of their tiny leaves breathed assent to
her question: for she was but a child
still. Love had fallen into her grasp,
but 1t was a child's hand which held
II.
When that hand Enclosed TO empti-
ness, how would it be then? Would II
be child or woman who looked down
with startled eyes OF fear ~at-nothing-
ness? The coming day must solve the
problem.
With new tenderness her guardians
kiss fell on her brow, as, two hours
later, she greeted him in the breakfast
room, and ook her accustomed seat al
the board.
II scarcely could tell you. Grace, last
night" he said. how happy / am ir

His voice broke. Instinctively the
girl felt HIS reed OF sympathy anc
comfort, though his words conveyed Il
her no special meaning.

which has a hole in the aisle down
which one descends TO find himself in
another church, acting as the founda-

restored some years before the Con-

the other numerous ~rarities in church.

again and again in the long roll OF

justly proud, appear the names of those

intellectual powers in the face of insu-
perable difficulties and attained posi.

God has lowered rich and poor alike

CASE OF LADY AND THE TIGER.
A Gagged Animal in the Zoo In a
Different From One In the Woods.

Suddenly there was a sound-monk-

in the trees, ~grasping the plant branch
es and shaking them well with rage.

Another second - the jungle grass
waved and cracked and out into the
open emerged ard advanced slowly a
picture of fearful beauty. A tiger seeh
in the Zoo gives no faint idea of what
one of his species Is, seen under its
proper conditions. Beasts in captivity
are underfed and have no muscle, but
here before us was a specimen who
had always 'done himself WE'LL was
fit as a prize fighter, every square inch
of him developed to perfection. On ne
came. his cruel eyes lazily blinking in
the sun. His long, slouching walk,
suggestive Of such latent strength, be-
trayed the vast muscle working firmly
through the loose, glossy skin, which
was clear red and white, with It's dou-
bic stripes and the w mark on the
head. The sight Of such majectic pow
er, as he swung majectically along,
licking his lips and his mustache after
his feed, was one of the things not
o to be forgotten, and, while it had
a bracing effect or the nerves. at the
same time struck rather a chilling sens
alton. . . f.. With my last barrel
I fired. There was no time for a long
and steady aim, but, as the smoke
cleared away, what relief! The tiger
had dropped TO the ground. With nine

walked off and disappeared.-From "A

And o think l have forgotten

And she turned toward him, with al
her anger and defiance fed, and threw

He caught her and strained her to
his heart. He bent his head until his
Inns met hers in voiceless ecstasy.
Thus he held her while h minutes
passed and the moon sank herself be-
hind a passing ~cloud-heart to heart
and lip to lip, her arms fast locked
about his throat.
Suddenly she released her hold, and
let her arms drop to her side.

He paused. His repetition of the
phrase of tender. plying owe recalled
to him her of whom he had thought as,
standing alone in his tent, he had felt
how little love he had to offer the
child who dared murmur his name that
night in her sleep, even as she already
had murmured in her prayers.
Poor child. indeed! Yet she was but
a child. She knew naught of loves
realities. Thank God for that!
In weeks-almost in days-she would
forget him. His first duty lay, not to
her, but to one to whom he must atone
for a bitter wrong.
Close he clasped to his heart the
yielding form of her who leaned there.
Again he bent his head and tasted the
delicious sweetness Of her lips.
MY love! My own" he murmured
low.
But, even, while he spoke, something
rustled at his feet, and in a moment a
tiny, bright-hued snake crept across
his path.
She screamed. turning pale in sudden
fright.
1T vanished in the brushwood, and he,
holding her closer TO his heart, reas-
sured her with tender, loving words.
But no one warned him that he
warmed in his embrace the deadlier
reptile of the two, cen though 1T wore
the wondrous beauty of a woman's
form.
Until tomorrow" he said. q half
hour later, as he left her at her own
door, and, In the impatience and ardor
of his great love he scarce could wait
the dawn of that wonderful new day
which was to crown his life with per-
feet happiness. Nor in his busy
thoughts was there any for the
child for whom the tomorrow was to
bring the first tasting of Mahra's
fruit-the fruit his hand would offer
to her young, pure lips, and bid them
taste.

Judge Goff,s Biggest Oil Well.

Last week Judge Nathan Colts
oil well No. IA. on his own farm in
the Wolf Summit district, was drill
ed into the sand and produced more
than 200 barrels day. When the
well was drilled deeper the produc-
ton increased ten barrels The farm
on which this well is located is one
of the biggest money makers in the
State and If its 400 acres prove as
productive as the portion that has
already been developed Judge Golf
will make million or more out of
it. His wells are already bringing
him in about $4,000 a day and the
amount is steadily increasing.
Billy Nicholson is the General SUI
perintendent of the development, and
1t was he who persuaded the Judge
to sink the first we'll on the land
that is producing SO many gushers
instead Of allowing it to be leased as
was the intention, previous to the
drilling of the first well. When the
first well came in oil was quoted at
$1.l3 and again Mr.. Nicholson per
suaded Judge Golf not to sell. None
of the oil has been sold from the first
barrel to the present time. it has all
been stored In tanks. When this
oil is sold it will mark one of the
heaviest transfers from IA producer to
the pipe line company.
