a moment more and the two men
stood within, with the door barred be-
hind them.
"Had we not better have remained
without, and shot them down like
dogs?" said Winslow in low tone, so
that his voice might not reach and
alarm the members of his household.
1--WE should have been shot down
ourselves before we saw them. Hark!

here. Now we must show them no

"Yes, only too well. Don't you re-
member that weeks ago told you not
to show your face here again.
"Yes, and for that you will suffer.
Open your door, or we will break it
down."
These were the last words the vii
lain uttered. The settler knew that it
was Ilr or death for him and his house
hold, who had gathered III alright
around them. He and Ralph had each
their rifles to bear upon their man.
Another moment and they rang out as
one report, and then ali was still.
They reloaded their pieces, and then,
after waiting a few moments, and no
sound coming from without, they eau
tiously opened the door. Then they
saw that there was no further need of
prudence on their part. Both the vii
lains lay dead, where they had dropped
in their tracks.
The next morning they buried them
with less concern than they would have
buried couple of brutes; and then
Ralph Hardy departed, in search Of
new work to do for the protection and
welfare of the settlers along the river.

Seleft MisrrIlanu.
The River Phantom.

1t was dark, moonless September
night, and the scene point along the
southern hank of the Ohio River.
Had an observer been standing there
in the dark shadows of the giant trees
that in those days lin. d its banks, his
ears would at first have been attracted
by the dip of paddle little way out
on the broad surface of the river. A
little longer, and it would have been
plain to him that whoever was hand
ling it was doing SO in manner to
make as little noise as possible.
The boat was gliding in toward the
bank, and its occupants evidently did
not desire that its approach should be
noted by anyon who might be lurking
there, securely hidden 10y the impene-
trable gloon which lay about the spot.
The dip of the paddle grew fainter
and fainter, but still the boat was
gliding s!.oreward under the impetus
given it further out in the stream. In
this manner it noiselessly came on,
and at last its prov touched the shore.
The next moment two men, who
were its occupants, sprang to land.
Silently they drew the boat up and
made it fast; and when this was done,
they stood for few moments as mute
and motionless as the trunks of the
forest trees about them. The men
were armed aliked. A long rifle and a
bunting knife thrust into their belts.
One seemed the taller of the two,
muscular and as straight as a savage
The other, below the medium height,
had stoop in his shoulders almost
like that of an hunchback.
The first mentioned broke the silence
at length, speaking in so low tone
that it was hardly above whisper.
"Well, Jake, we're here at last
The other grunted an assent.
And no one in these parts is any
the wiser as to our whereabouts, Jake"
Another grunt of assent.
"Why don't you speak? Have you
lost your tongue?" growled the other
Indignantly.
"What do you want me to say?''
said Jake.
THAT We are something less than a
mile from John Winslow's cabin, ard
that the hour of my vengeance is close
at hand. He, or no one else, can have
the taintest idea of our whereabouts. "
"Don't be too sure of that, Simon
Plaisted. You know that the thing
has baulked you more than once in
your plans"
His companion shuddered.

"Ycs; what else should | mean?'

HIS DEFINITION
OF ETERNITY

"The best illustration of what eter-
nifty is, with its endless flight Of time" i"
said Western member of Congress
the other day, "was one | heard given
by a preacher who was conducting a
revival at Colorado mining camp.
The revival had been we'll attended,
but there was poor harvest of souls,
and the rough old preacher depicted
the joys of heaven and the tortures of
hell with discouraging results. One
evening he announced that the revival
would close with that meeting unless
the sinners showed a desire to repent
He then depicted the sufIerings of
the lost, and in telling them how long
it would be before they would be freed
from their environment of fire and brim-
stone, he said:
You will suffer all eternity. Do
you know what that means? Ill tell
you. If "a little sparrow was TO dip
his bill in the Atlantic ocean and take
one hop day and hop across the
country and put that drop IN the Pac-
ifc ocean and then hop back to the
Atlantic, one hop day, and if he kept
that thing up until the Atlantic was
dry as bone it wouldn't be sun up in
hell"
1t isn't necessary to add that
mourners came to the bench that night
and the meeting continued for some
time

LIFE GUARDS.

The Life Guards are two regiments
of cavalry forming part of the British
household troops. They are gallant
soldiers, and every loyal British heart
is proud of them. Not only the Kings
household. but yours, ours, everybody's
should have its life guards. The need
of them is especially great when the
greatest foes of life, diseases, find allies
in the very elements, as colds, influenza
catarrh, the grip and pneL monia do in
the stormy month of March. The
best way that we know of to guard
against these disease is to strengthen
the system with Hoods Sarsaparilla
the greatest of all life guards. 1t re-
moves the conditions in which these
diseases make their most successful
attack, gives vigor and tone to all the
vital organs and functions, and i'm
parts a genial warmth to the blood.
Remember the weaker the system the
greater the exposure to disease. Hoods
Sarsaparilla makes the system strong.

is no risk of actual starvation for be-
ings of our species who have learned
to subsist upon parched corn and belo-
tas, sort of sweet acorns, that can be
gathered by bushels in the forests of
the highlands. A more unexciting life
cannot be imagined outside of prison
cell, for illiteracy obliges the sluggish
old ranchers to obtain even from men,
tai emotions. Life that stagnates
the stream meandering through tree
less hills receives but few afliuents,
but the same droughts have so reduc-
ed the speed of the currents that the
time of its journey to the sea has been
abnormally heightened some Of the
drowsy rivers may lose themselves in
a landloched lake, dreary as dotage,
but even thus they can count upon
being long time on the way.
But the question arises if longevity
purchased in that manner, is worth its
price? For instance, deserving that
name, cannot always be measured by
years. 1T makes me weary to hear
them talk about the first Napoleon
having to perish by a premature
DEATH" says the essayist Boerne.
"Why, he lived dozen ordinary lives
in Northern Italy alone; the two years
comprising his first fourteen victories
were crowned with adventures and
triumphs enough to spice the hundrum
existence of whole conventicle of
Quakcrs. There were weeks when he
reaped the harvest of a common CEN
tury."
But. besides, the misery of enforced
quietism is aggravated by the certainty
of the circumstance that the storm of
joyous emotions is compatible with a
fair chance of longevity. The luxury
of brilliant flame can be compensated
by liberal supply of fuel. Frederick
the Grea., triumphant in the conquests
of peace and war, lived twenty years
longer than his unenterprising phils-
tine ofa father. Aenophon, restlessly
active hunter, warrior, politician, phil
osopher and romancer, lived nearly a
century. Wellington lived 80 years,
and Aurungzebe, the great Mogul con-
queror and reformer, 80. Success, in
fact, is cause as well as a result, of
lon gev:ty, and we'll directed labor,
alternating with periods of recreation,
sustains life as effectively as the peace
of a bearish winter sleep. Those
Spanish peasants can hardly be said
to have lived los and lis years.
They merely existed for that length
Of time, and might as we'll have passed
a century in the cave of Rip Van
Winkle
The thought, however, occurs:
Would it not be possible to combine
the quietude of their existence and
their freedom from care with good
meals and harmless pastimes, like
those OF Squire Walton, who exhorts
his readers to "be quiet and 60 fishing!"
The problem, it must lie admitted, re-
quires the social circumstances of Ar
cadia, but may now and then have
been solved by such modern favorites
of fortune as the Fisherman jenkins,
who subsisted upon the rent of a little
farm, and, being able to catch halibut
within 100 yards of his cabin, con-
trived to live 163 years. Walton him.

NOW LOOK OUT!

''Take care of yourself say our friends.
''rn try to-" we answer. We do take little
care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
and mackintoshes, an army of people were
bowled out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. They
caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, choked by
infammaticns and concessions, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
tie fight. The hour you realize that you
have a cold on the chest, place a Benson's
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sien is felt. II you think two are needed
make it two. No harm if you were COW
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engagement of blood in the
organs. In this way-with ordinary eau
ton as to exposure-you will break up the
cold and avoid . serious sickness. No
other applications, or any other form Of
treatment. will accomplish this as certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plasters have dis
tinct and positive action and are curative to
the highest degree. Use them with the same
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma-
tism, the grip Oback and chest) and all SIM
liar ailments. Women, who are chief suffer-
ors from cold weather complaints, should
keep these plasters always within reach.

seryin's Peasant Kings.

King Alexander of Servia Is without
an heir. A sensational story from BEL
grade via Vienna says that he has de-
termined to adopt and educate d
healthy peasant boy as his successor
on the throne.
Seryian history of the nineteenth
century lends curious interest to thls
story. however the facts may develop
later. 1t was a former swineherd, one
Milosl O%brenovitch, to whom the mon
archie title of the nation fell in 1880 by
vote of the assembly, the Turks hav-
ing killed or driven out Of the country
all the aristocracy. Previously FOR
about thirteen years Milosh had LED the
Servians in their struggle for indie
pendence. The seal Of the porte was
laid upon his triumph and the success
sion was reserved to his family. FROM
him has descended the Obrenovitch dy-
nasty of Milans, Michaels and Alexan-
ders.
Milosh was a man of simple. coarse
habits. He became a despot, was FORCED
to abdicate in 1880 and returned to
power at seventy for a year only IN
1859. 1t would be a remarkable repe-
tition Of history if the twentieth cen
fury were to see Servia again under
the rule of an original peasant.-New
