that their idea is expressed in the
fewest words and to the point
Mr.. Andrew Simonds. of Charleston,
is convinced that their powers of
vernacular are superior to his talent
for Ineligible description.
He was one day trying to interest
his little girl. nearly 8 years old, by
telling her stories of the circus. She
loved horses and was particularly
impressed by the feats of the bare
back riders.
Now" he said. taking a chair by
way of Illustration. this is n horse.
A man comes in on him and rides him
all round the ring standing up with
out any saddle or bride. Then di-
rectly another horse comes in bare
back quitting another chair by the

Just In the same way. until at last
there are four horses. and he rides
them all round the ring at the same
time. And a row of four chairs rep

that fine?"
The little one looked up, ye,y

CHAPTER XIII.
The Fateful Hour.

Charlie looked after the retreating
figure of Capt Brand. and was in
doubt whether to take him seriously
or consider his threat huge joke. He
soon resolved to dismiss from his
mind Capt. Brand and all he typified,
and seek repose.
He gained the sanctity OF his room.
and. lighting the gas, sat down to
have a last deliberation ere retiring.
All seemed capable of running in a
smooth groove, but the best laid
schemes of mice and men gang aft
agley." Bobby Burns tells us. and who
has not found 1t true in his own ex-
perience?
Charlie retired. Whether he slept
soundly or not concerns us little, but
under the circumstances 1t is hardly
probable that his slumber was very
refreshing.
There was too great a load on his
mind.
He felt very much us a man might
who stands upon the brink of preci-
pice.
Success or failure-his whole fu-
ture depended upon one little word
was balanced in the hollow of a girls
hand
Charles previous bitter experience
had caused him to feel more or less
caution, with a shade of distrust to-
ward the gentle sex. and against this
he had TO fight.
Could he have known what lay be-
fore him. under what fearful condi-
tions he was fated to win his sweet
heart. even his bold warrior spirit
might have quailed a little.
1t is just as well perhaps. that these
things are mercifully hidden from our
view--just as well that we need only
lgrapple with each difficulty as It ap-
pears In view. instead of crossing
bridges before we come to them.
