As he spoke his weight caused the
grave to suddenly collapse, and with
a crash logs and totem fell in a sprawl

from injury.
He landed on his feet and uttered
sharp cry of alarm. A great dusky
animal, erect on its hind legs, was shut

totem bear they had tracked.
Markham's rife flew to his shoulder,
but with marvellous rapidity, with a
rasping growl of rage, the beast struck
the weapon a blow that snapped it in
two. Markham sprang back, and the
next instant the loud report of Quin's
rifle was heard. Hit in a vital part,

With that Markham plunged into the
ruins of the grave, piled the logs this
way and that, and quickly emerged
with heavy canvas bag a foot and u
half long in his two hands.
Gold! gold!" he cried, breathlessly.

By good luck they struck the path,
and by what little light was left they
were able to follow it. 1t was race

Markham.

Corners I'm the Living Room.

A very pretty corner may be ar
ranged in any living-room by means
of a screen and divan. Over the divar
there may be, if you choose, a canopy,
and plenty of cushions are indispens-
able to its easeful luxury. But a
screen answers every purpose CT re-
tirement and withdrawal and, being
readily portable, lends itself to the
housekeeper's requirements. In coun-
try cottages where space is important
not only corners may be secured at
pleasure, and furnished at discretion
by the help of the screen, but one room
may be made to do duty as several

room, as one of these at time or as
all three, should occasion suggest

NEARLY MISSED HIS TRAIN.
Tom Reeds Persistent Friend Placed
Him in an Uncomfortable
state.

Ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed was in
great hurry to get out of Philadel-
phia the other day, not that he loved
the Quaker city less than New York,
but because he had an important bust
ness engagement in the latter city. Ar
irving at the depot just about train
time, he got pretty well tangled up in
rather thrilling experience for a
man of his weight. He was making for
the train at quite lusty pace when he
was northumberland wiry
little old man, who looked as though
he might have come from West Chester
why, how are you, Tom?" ex-
claimed the whiskered party, shaking
the politicians reluctantly extended
hand.
"Eh-why, l think you've got the
best of mel don't remember you,
returned Mr.. Reed, sort of perturbed
for he could see that he had but a
half-minute to spare.
"Well. if that don't beat all"
You'll have to pardon me. I've got
to make my train interrupted Mr.
Reed
Don't be in hurry" insisted the
other, taking a firm grip on the eN'
speakers lapel, you'll think who l am
in a minute"
But | haven't time to think" Mr.
Reed shook himself loose and started
for the gate. He heard a little bel
tinkle and the gate closed in his
face.
LET me through" cried Mr.. Reed
excitedly. The man at the gate paiG
no heed to him. Close at hand was an
open gate for a local train. Mr.. Reed
rushed through it and trotted down
the platform after the express, which
was just getting under way. He was
breathing hard, but he managed to
make a final squirt and clutch the rail
of the last car. Yet he was not out
of the woods, for he found it was one
thing to have and another thing TIC
hold, and still another thing to get
aboard He was swinging behind like
the tail of a kite when the brakeman
came to his rescue. He caught Mr.
Reed by the collar and tried to drag
him board. The brakeman would have
failed in his noble effort had he not
been aided by two porters, who gal
lantly showed from behind while the
brakeman pulled from above. The job
was finished, though not without dam
age to Mr.. Reeds apparel and at the
expense of much perspiration.
As Mr. Reed stood on the back plat
form hopping his brow he could see
the figure of his old-forgotten ac-
quaintance at the gateway, and above
the rumble of the train he heard these
words: 81 used to be your milkman."

to return empty handed.

cabbage and a ooseberry tart?'
'Sure we have, sir" exclaimed the
waiter in tone of the utmost relief
and he fairly few out to the kitchen.

TO A DEAD MINSTREL.

Beside the naples messy foot
The hermit thrush lies dead,
Among the white anemonies, 49,.
Like tapers round its bed. ~
Its downy breast of dappled gray,
Its russell wings are still. D.,
Its velvet throat Will never more -.
With heavenly music thrill.
AT evenings golden afterglow
What happiness was mine -
To hear from out the leafy choir
That evensong divire.
So pure and sweet that other sounds
Seemed hushed in silent prayer
The while that matchless melody
Filled all the listening air.
Sweet minstrel of the twilight hour,
When purple shadows creep
Tsrough dimly-lightec forest aisles
And flowers close in sleep
Is there no land beyond the stars
Where we shall hear again
Thy hymn of perfect peace and joy
When life is free from pain?
Shall we alone, with sordid lives
Misspent and prone to sin.
OF all Gods children be the few
Eternal life to win?
Each day you did the Fathers will
And praised Him with psalm,
Whose peace fell on the troubled heart,
Like Gileads healing balm.
And cannot He who made the suns
And sees the sparrow's fall
Provide home so fair and large
That it will shelter all?

But as Quin turned with that inten-
ton he tripped over the bole of a tree
and the rifle few out of his hands. He
CROPPED after it vainly for a few sec
onds-he dared not pause longer-and
then he rose and overlook his compan-
ion, to whom he related his loss. The
bear was in hot pursuit, growing with
fury.
Drop the gold, you IDIOT" shouted
Quin.
Never! I'll save it or die."
But they were nearer to the river
than they supposed, and a moment
later they burst out of the forest and
ran to the end of the spit of land. Side
by side they leaped aboard the boat,
Markham dropping the bag of gold
with crash, while Quin instantly sew
cred the mooring rope with stroke of
his knife.
But the bear was at their heels, and
without hesitation, just as the craft
swung off the shore, the angry animal
sprang in at the stern. He made a
rush for the two men, who barely in
time escaped to the cabin and closed
and barred the door.

OF what happened next Quin retained

he survived the peril OF wave and reef,
and finally fioated ashore in greatly
exhausted state several miles below
the scene of the disaster. The gold was
at tho bottom of the river, and both
the bear and Markham had been
drowned-there was no doubt of that.
Quin spenta day in searching vainly
for the traders body, and then, having
started on foot toward the coast, he

When we suffer, Time seems to lag, and

when relief comes, the past is forgotten in
