implied rebuke, hint that he was
prying into the secrets of modesr
girl. But this notion fled when the
answer came with futile poverty Of
suggestion: why, l suppose like all
women do. They all do it the same
way"
And so their conversation ran, the
elder harping on his proud memories
of fatherhood, the impatient lover
trying to build up for himself
shrine in which to worship his first
love. Naturally, it was only here
and there that their thoughts met;
and just when the lover caught fair
glimpse of her, the clumsy words Of
an understanding generalized
paternity blotted out the image.
Little prone as Lyle was TO mental
or emotional activity, he steadily
progressed to state where certainty
was the one cry of his heart. To look
at the picture on the bulkhead was
good. To have that picture above his
own bunk was infinitely preferable.
To hear about her was a delight.
But to speak with knowledge and the
full sense of possession was heaven
ly,
So, one night, after long, uneasily
meditative communion with the moon
and the dark sea, Edward Lyle sought
the chief fireman. mfr. Forbes" he
commenced, awkwardly, rye know
what-what-an interest | take in
Her"
The father nodded kindly, and he
went on: "Well, sir, I'm getting pretty
well fixed-you've said yourself was a
good fireman-and | want to marry"
Forbes looked at him with CLINT Of
understanding in his eyes, but made no
response. The young man took off his
greasy cap and crushed it in his hands.
''What want, sir" he said, quietly, rs
to marry her"
There was no answer, and he added,
as though it might be taken for grant
ed: 81 love her"
made no reply, even by gesture.
Around them were all the rough sounds
of the main deck, the stamping of cattle
forward, the rattle of the cooks pots
and pans, the pervasive tones of care
less men. From the next cabin came a
harsh laugh and an oath. Lyle dared
not look at the photograph for fear he
should make Her conscious of the UNI
worthy surroundings. So he went out,
unanswered.
The next few days the two men did
not talk beyond what was ordinary and
necessary. Yet Lyle frequently felt
the elder mans gaze measuring him,
and he squared himself to his work
for her sake Whether he was wretch
ed or not, it did not occur to him to ask.
All he was distinctly conscious of was
IL vast, unsatisfied love, a love 50 sure of
itself and so limitless that it included
in itself a return.
They neared San Francisco, and
Forbes insistence upon economy in
coal became almost unbearable. 1t
was always so when they drew near to

and broken shoulder, but Pablo never
yielded an inch, once fairly within that
embrace and he would have been
crushed into lifeless mass. For a
moment, God, it seemed an hour, they
stood, then the jaws relaxed, the bears
head and shoulders swayed, his paws
slipped from their hold and the Indian
stepped back as the huge beast crashed
to the ground. Pablo turned to us with
something between a smile and a
grimace, but there was pride in his tone
and bearing as he quietly said
''El oso is dead, senors, and Pablo, of
San Ysidro is yet living" then he stag
gered toward his old pinto pony. A
messenger was hurried to the nearest
station for surgeon, but by the time
he arrived we had the bleeding stopped
and the wounds made by the claws
dressed in homely way. The surgeon
pronounced the most serious injury
only a broken collar bone and that, with
the flesh wounds, would heal quickly
owing to the patients pure blood and
iron constitution. Pablo's necklace Is
heavier, and now when bears are the
subject of conversation he sits quietly

There are many smiling faces at the
New York institution for the instruc-
ton of the deaf and dumb just now,
owing to successful experiments with
a new apparatus which enables the
deaf TO hear. 1t is called the allou-
phone. The machine employs electric
sound valves, which penetrate the
deafest ear and have a reviving effect
on the diseased parts of the ear. The
machine does not increase the volume
Of sound, but makes it more pene-
trating. It is on the same principle as
the Roentgen light rays, which do not
produce a greater degree Of light, but
kind Of light which penetrates bodies
hitherto impervious to it. The instru-
ment Is Of no benefit 10 the small per-
centage Of the deaf, says the tsburg
Dispatch With the partially deaf it
does away with the eager straining to
catch the sound Of the human voice
and an ordinary conversation tone can.

THE HORSE IN SCOUTING.
Must Possess Certain Qualities to
Fit Ii for the LRborious
Service.

The horse, like the man, in scouting,
must be exceptional. The first essen.
tial is "bottom." A scouts horse must
have endurance, as his work is con
tinuous and labOriOus, so 1t is the duty
of the man to husband the strength of
the animal as much as possible, as his
safety may depend upon it. He should
be of n neutral color TO avoid detec-
ton. Dyeihg him khaki would he an
Improvement. The gray horses of the
Austrian batteries were dyed during
the recent mancuvers, and the color
lasted month. The experiment was
considered a success, says the United
Service.
The horse should be trained to stand
quietly and to lie down and stay down.
The Beers have way of tying n
horses head to his forcleg in such a
manner that he can Craze in comfort,
but cannot stand with head erect with
out raising his foreleg, and finds run
ming away very inconvenient. He
should be perfectly trained, and his
rider should be able to place every
confidence in him. A horse that con
tinually needs watching or urging Is
a source of distraction to his rider,
and so renders him unfit for scouting
work Weighing and fretful horses are
worse than useless. Every opportu-
nifty should be taken advantage Of to
allow the horse to Craze; few mouth
fuls Of grass eaten at every little halt
saves a horse tremendously.

Npns farther away. When within Is
ftet of his enemy, Pablo began moving
il a circle about him, dangling the
necklace and in a chant extolling the
bkavery of the Yaquis and the cow
ardice of grizzlies, of that one in par
tieular; calling his attention to the
necklace, of the material of which it
was composed, torn, Pablo chanted,
from the living bodies of his opponents
brethren, and asking why he did not
come crawling to his feet like a whim-
pering dog.
Faster and faster grew Pablo's cir
cling dance, his chant keeping time to
his steps; behind the grizzly's rough
hair his two vicious little eyes glowed
Ike iridescent beads, all his terrible
teeth showing in formidable length
of jaw, and those powerful torearms,
that could easily break the back of
steer, held much in the position of
pugilist on guard. AS rapidly as Pablo
moved the bear turned in his place as
if on pivot, always keeping front.
Round and round went the Indian in an
ever narrowing circle, his dance now
changed into a swift run, his chant a
series of exultant yells. Suddenly,
without seeming to pause an instant,
we saw the fash of sun on steel as the
knife, turned in his hand his long,
sinewy, copper-colored body shot down
and forward, there was fearful snarl
of rage and pain from the bear as the
knife was buried in his paunch, but
Pablo was continuing his dance, the
knife, not glittering now, still poised
in his hand. The thrust and recovery
had been so quick that the eye could
scarce follow it, but we had seen a
shaggy forepaw make sweeping blow
that would have ended the fight had it
landed on Pablo's head.
The next thrust we noted Pablo's
tactics. In his dance he made feint
as if to reverse and thrust to the right,
the bear guarded there, but without
pausing in his swing Pablo whirled and
struck to the left with the same result,
and the circus dance was resumed.
Again came the feint and reverse, but
it was either too quick or, from eXpe-
rience, the bear did not guard to the
right, but a great, hairy paw shot out
with terrible force, landing on Pablo's
left shoulder, and heels over head he
went fully IS feet away.
"No, no, senors, do not shoot" he
shouted, as he leaped to his feet just
in time to sidestep the charge Of his
enemy. The bear reared again, the
long, shaggy hair on its paunch now
matted with blood, and the circling tao
ties were renewed Pablo was not
chanting now; his left arm hung at his
side, instead of guarding in front of
him, and his step was slower. Narrow
ing the circle dangerously near the
sweep of those forepaws, but always
with the bandaged shoulder and arm
to the bear, Pablo continued the at
tack. Suddenly he paused, stopped,
made a vicious swing with his knife,
which went home under the left Shout
der of the bear, and as the huge paws
met around his back Pablo braced him
self to meet the last convulsive en-
brace.
The great claws tore red burrows in
the knotted muscles of that naked
back, the blood gushed in streams and
the red jaws closed over the blanketed

PAID THE FIDDLER.
Germany Was Fully Reimbursed 70,
the Cost of the War OF
1871,

Up to March 81 last Great Britain
had spent 81, las, 500, 900 in conducting
the war in South Africa. This sum
is largely in excess of the cost TO Ger
many of the Franco-Prussian war Of
1871, for which, however, the nation
was fully reimbursed by the van
pushed nation. France paid as war in
demnity about $50, 900, 600 less than the
British expenditure in the Boer con
tlict. Strictly speaking, that indem-
nifty only amounted to 5000, 900 600
francs, or 81 900, 900 900, but Germany
received about S1tj,0OO,O 900 more from
her vanquished foes in the form of n
special contribution from the city Of
Paris. special taxes in France, and
interest on the chief indemnity. Out
of this all the expenses Of the war
were repaid. Some $4,000, 900 went
to establish pension fund for old sol
dicrs, $4,000, 600 was spent on army
reorganization, about 100000 600 or
fortresses. S42, 800 900 on strategic rail
ways, while $4,000 900 were stored in
gold as an imperial war chest in case of
emergencies, and this immense treas
ure is still lying dead in the Vaults Of
the Julius tower in the fortress Of
Spandan. But the interesting thing
is that the Boer war has cost Great
Britain far more than their final war
of unification cost the Germans.
