Prince AIbert's COURAGE.

Lord Playfair was one of the most
honored and conspicuous figures in
Great Britain during the last half
century. When he was in the Univer-
sity of Edinburgh the prince of Wales
was one of his pupils. One day the
two were standing near a cauldron
containing lead, which was boiling at
white heat. HAS your royal highness
any faith in science?" asked Playfair.
Certainly" was the prompt reply.
Playfair then carefully washed the
princes hand in ammonia to get rid
of any grease on it, and then said:
evil you now place your hand in
this boiling metal and 1adle out por-
ton of it?'' do you tell me to do
this?" asked the prince. 81 do" was
the answer. The prince instantly put
his hand into the cauldron and ladled
out some of the boiling lead without
sustaining any injury. Nowadays the
feat is frequently performed, but in
those days it was novelty, which
makes the courage and confidence Of
Albert Edward equally remarkable.
Golden Days.

CHAPTER XVII.-CoNTINU

"You're right. Look!" was Deans
sudden answer, for at the very in
slant there rode boldly, calmly into
full view two young Indians, who
with cool elaboration. came jogging
on at gentle speed, straight toward
the concealed bivouac of the troopers.
Instantly Bruce reached for his car
bine and two or three of the men
went sliding Or crouching backward
down the slope as though in quest of
their arms. Full eight hundred yards
away were the riders at the moment,
coming side by side in apparent I'M
concern.
Don't" muttered Dean, with hand
outstretched. "They look anything
but hostile"
That's when they're most likely to
be full of hell, SIR was the prompt
answer. ''See! others are watching
behind that knoll and indeed as
Bruce declared, a feather-decked head
or two could be detected through the
glass, peering over the summit.
WARN them to halt, Them" cried
Dean. s'But we cannot fire unless
they provoke it,"
Bruce was on his feet in a second.
Standing erect and facing straight to-
ward the coming pair, he raised his
right hand, palm to the 'front.' to the
full length of his arm, and slowly mo-
toned stand" Every plainsman
knows the signal. In well-acted. sur
prise the Indians refined their ponies
fat back, and, shading their eyes with
their hands a moment, remained mo-
tion1ess. Then as with one accord,
each tossed aside his rifle, and one of
them further lifted high and displayed
a revolver. This, too, he tossed out
on the turf, and now with both arms
bare and extended on high, with
empty hands outspread, they slowly
advanced as though saying: "See, we
are without arms. We come as broth
ers."
But the sergeant never hesitated.
Almost on tiptoe he repeated the sig
nal "halt," and half turned implor-
ingly to his officer.
Its all bluff, sir. They want to
crawl upon US, see who and how many
we are. Let some of us fire warnin g
shots or come they will, and the mo-
ment they find out who we are, away
they'll ride to bring Red Cloud and all
his bucks about our ears
u cannot fire." was the answer.
'That's their flag Of truce and we must
not ignoreit. Let them come, sergeant !;
I'll meet them"

TIE SONG OF THE HOE.
written IN q Potato Patch

(WT1tten IN Potato Patch.)
~Chug, chug, bring us the jug.
Master Is dry with toll;
Many a sultry hour he's dug,
Coaxing the sullen soil:
But his brow must sweat and his arms
grow weary,
All for the love Of his tots and dearie:
And his dreams are swift if his step be
slow"
This was the hum of the weary hoe,
All of q summers day.
..Chugity, chug, chugity, chink!
Now that was the sound of stone, think;
But there's many a stone on which to
catch
In life's half-acre potato-patch;
Chugity, chinkety, one more row."
This was the merry lit of the hoe,
All of sultry day.
rChug swish; Oh how wish
That the sun would tumble faster;
For almost crack with the weight on my
back
OF the hand of my sturdy master!
But ahi he has measured the length Of my
shade,
He is cleaning the clay from my ringing
blade
And now for the cottage that we we'll
know
This was the cry of the happy hoe,
Under the fading day.
''Chug, chink, the calm stars blink;
Night hath many charms;
Master is dreaming of me, think,
Wrapped in his fond wife's arms:
And Vice. pink hand is clutching tight
The tin horsebought with our toll tonight;
IT'S the weaker arm that makes me CO.
This was the droning dream of the hoe,
Until the east was gray.

RetOrt COurteOua-

A recent English visitor to India
relates the following incident of tray
ell to show the character of the inter-
course between the English and the
resident population of that country.
The Parsees have been scarcely Longer
in the peninsula than have the Eng
lish. They are the ancient fire wor-
shippers of the east.
"Another Englishman and T were
on the night train, and we were the
sole occupants of the compartment.
It was near midnight and we were
stretched on our respective touches,
when our slumbers were disturbed
by the entrance of family of four
or five Parsees. among whom were a
lady and child and an old gentle
man of somewhat feeble but refined
appearance. Of course, although we
were not disturbed. there was a lit
tie conversation and discussion while
couches were being prepared and
berths let down, and so forth, till at
last my fellow countryman, losing his
little store of patience, rolled over
among his rugs with a growl: I
wish you would stop that chattering,
you Parsees!' To which remark, when
they had settled themselves a little,
one Of the men replied: please 90 to
sleep now, Mr.. Gentleman "-Youth's

Tuesday totally destroyed by fire. The
walls are partially standing. There
were nine women teachers and about
$50 children, most Of them young. in
the building at the time of the fire.
Tire smoke was first discovered up-
stairs, and the signal was given by the
ringing Of the gong. Every child in the
building got out in an orderly manner,
the larger ones helping carry out the
smaller. The building was cheap

insurance was about $1,000. The fire
caught from an overheated pipe.

But Indian diplomacy was unsatis-

He, at least, was of the hated troop
that fought and chased Burning Star
and killed Chaska. The trail told
them there were nearly dozen in the
party, all or shod horses, with two in
lead-spare mounts or pack-horses,
doubtless-so they had extra rations
and had come far; but why were
they going this way, so far west of
the usual road to the Big Horn posts?
Why were they SO few in number?
Where were the rest? Why were they
hiding here in the ravine. instead of
marching? Answer to this last ques-
ton was easy enough. It was to
keep out of sight of Indian eyes, and
needed no excuse. There was some
thing behind this mysterious pres
ence of ten or twelve soldiers in the
southern foothills, and Machpealota
would expect of his scouts full in
formation, hence the inetant move

STORY OF AFRICAN LOVE.
Aamr Maiden Who Considered
Herself Worth More Than
Ten Cows.

An amusing incident is quoted by
ii. L. Finck, in a recent volume on
primitive and curious customs, which
indicates how easily unitarian con-
slderatlons may gain the supremacy
among Africans.
A traveller knew a girl named Yam
Mkt, who refused to marry young
Kaffir sutton, although she confessed
that she liked him.
Il cannot take him." she said, Gas
he can offer only ten COWS for me,
and my father wants 15."
The traveller observed that it was
not kind of her father to let a few
COWS stand in the way of her hap
piness; but the African dam.el did
not fall in with his sentimental views
in the case. Business and vanity were
to her much more important matters
than individual preference, and she
exclaimed, excitedly:
What! You expect my father to
give me away for ten cows? That
would be a fine sort of a bargain!
Am l not worth more than Gill. for
whom the Tambuki chief paid u
cows last week? I am pretty, I can
cook, sew, crochet, speak English, and
with all these accomplishments you
want my father to dispose of me
for ten miserable COWS? Oh, sir, how
little you esteem me! No, no, my
father is quite right in refusing to
yield in this matter. Indeed, in nv
opinion, he might boldly ask 80 cows
for me, for [ am worth that much"

ly northward up the winding gorge,
the pack horses numbering alongside.
Eagerly Dean and Bruce in the lead
looked right and left for a game trail
leading up the slope, for we'll they
knew that the moment their reenforcs-
ments came the warriors would dash
into the ravine and, finding their an
tagonists fled, would pursue along the
banks. 1t would never do to be caught
in such trap. A gallop of a quarter
OF mile and, off to the right, branch
ravine opened out to higher ground,
and into this the leaders dove and,
checking speed, rode at the trot until
the ascent grew steep. Five minutes
more and they were well up toward
the head of the gulch and presently
found themselves nearly on level with
the hillsides about them. Here, too,
were scattered pine trees and a few
scrub oak. The timber, then, was close
at hand. Signaling halt to the climb
ing column, Dean and Bruce. SPRING
ing from saddle, scrambled up the bank
to their right and peered cautiously
back down over the tumbling waves of
the foothills, and what they saw was
enough to blanch the cheek of even
veteran Indian fighters.
Ear over to the east, beyond an in
tervening ridge and under the dun
cloud of dust, the earth was black for
miles with herds of running buffalo.
Far down to the southeast, here, there
and everywhere over the land, the
slopes were dotted with little knots of
Indian braves-they could be nothing
eise-all riding like mad, coming
straight toward them. Machpealota
probably had launched his whole force
on the trail of the luckless troopers.
