German. who always stood guard at

One day a prominent lawyer and two

called out loudly to the Justice:

The three gentlemen laughed.

The city of Little Muddy, on the up.

wide awake town in 1887. When II
had reached the mature age of 8
months, every kind of business man
was represented except the cigar deal

cago named Stark opened n tobacco
store, with a large. gaudy and aggres-
siye wooden Indian In front, holding a
tomahawk savagely in one hand and q
bunch of cigars in the other. 1t would

BATTLES OF NATURE.


Unceasing Struggles Which End In
Survival of Fittest.
We read the tablets Of long ago
which the geologist has deciphered for
us, and we find them an endless story
of battles. The successful species
which occupy the great geological
horizons have come out Of great tribu-
lation. The trilobites and stone lilies
of the silurian period, the gigantic club
moss and futed sigillarians of the coal
age, the enormous ammonites Of the
jurassic and chalk epochs, the mighty
elephants and majestic deer forms Of
the tertiary era are magnates of tho
times and masterpieces Of the struggle.
They have been redeemed at great
price, even of thousand species and
tens of thousands of individuals who
fell short Of the typical fitness and
We're killed out. These magnates, each
In its turn, were pioneers of progress,
like the scouts Of great army and
were caught In a physiological am
bush.
The pedigree of the horse in the most
recent past has been made out, traced
shall we say, for hundred thousand
years before man came on the scene
(for Lord Kelvin asked the geologist
to hurry up and not be too lavishDwith
time or we should have said 100000
years before NAM. The tieetness, grace
and strength of the horse are owing to
his ability to walk on one toe, to which
have been correlated the wonderful
Instincts by which he has become the
partner Of man in his Industries and
struggles. He has been derived in
almost strict graduation from the two
toed, three toed. four ,toed and FIVE
toed ancestors which flourished in tho
ages which preceded man. Myriads Of
individuals and all the species and
varieties died out to make room for the
one toed selection to enable this favor
lite to occupy the ground unthwarted
by crossing or by recurrence to average
forms. He was redeemed Mt great
price and has come through great
tribulation.-Con Contemporary Review.

And now Ronald sprang away like
deer, shooting up the slope toward the
west as though life had no higher Joy
than hand gallop. Lieutenant May
turned In the saddle to wave a friendly
hand to the figure standing at the edge
of the willows. Then horse and rider
in long, easy curve rounded the shout
der of the bluff and SKINNED out of
sight.
Half an hour later a brilliant specta-
Gle lay before the eyes Of Eric Lang
don. It was one to thrill and delight
even an nnprofessional eye, but this
was the eye of practiced soldier, to
whom every detail was familiar, a SOL
der who many a time had taken active
and up to within three months promi-
nent part in similar pageants. Now 1t
was the will Of the law that he should
be cut off from further participation in
scenes Of the kind. BY the stern edict
Of court martial duly confirmed by
the order of the president himself
Langdon stood summarily dismissed
from the military service Of the United
States.
It was sad, sad story. 1t has had
Its parallels; 1t may have more. There
was no finer young soldier In the bat
talon Of cadets, and great were the
prophecies of class mntes-indeed Of in
structors-when Langdon's name came
up for discussion. The corps rose up
and cheered him on graduation day
when great public official in handing
the handsome cadet captain his diplo-
ma took occasion to say that a young
gentleman who could ride and drill as
he could ought to be most welcome to
the finest regiment in creation, and a
very pretty girl sitting close to Senator
SPOTS, ponderous member Of the
board Of visitors, whispered to that
veteran beau:
"Now, there's q man should like to
know"
And SO 1t happened that before the
graduating class were fairly out Of ca
Diet uniform and into their first .'cits'' a
messenger in the shape of the official
orderly of the commandant of cadets
came to Eric Langdon to Invite" his
presence at the quarters Of that high
official, and there he was presented
anew to the distinguished senator to
whom he, In company with his class
mates, had already made the orthodox
and conventional homage required Of
the graduating cadet to the board Of
visitors, and now the senator, all suayi-
| ty, led forward an extremely pretty
| and yiyacious damsel. "Mr. Langdon,"
said he, this young lady has fallen in

It was an odd moment for Langdon.
