NEGRO SOLD AT AUCTION.
1t Was at n W. 0. T. U. Rummage Sale and the old Man Brought
 Just S2.39

The Woman's Christian Temperance union of Indianapolis, Ind, has been holding rummage sale. One old col. ored man entered
 T wish you'd sell me-" he said to one of the women. I'm tired tramp ing around the country, and I'll work for anybody the rest of my days for my victuals and clothes
 One of the women suggested that the old man be placed on a table with a price marked on him, but after further talk with the negro to be certain that he was in earnest, it was decided to auction him off to the highest bidder. The old man was put on a stool and one of the women got on the counter and began to cryRhe bargain. The first bid was 50 cents. The bidder ex- plained the he simply wanted to give the auctioneer start. The next bid was 75 cents, and quarter bids were received until the old man was valued at $2. Then there was a Hull in the bidding, but the crier persisted, and the bargain was finally knocked down

Shea told the women that he would give his new purchase some light work around his commission house, and, if he proved to be trust worthy, the job would be permanent He agreed to give the negro suit of clothes and plenty to eat.
 The old man thanked the women for having found home for him and went away with his new master, seemingly quite satisfied

presently to the building of our houses
 Thus began, slowly and in primitive fashion, the building of one of the first cities of the vast valley of the Mes-. sasebe; the seeds of civilization taking hold upon the ground of barbarian, the one supplanting the other, yet availing itself of that other. AS the white men took over the crude fields of the departed savages, so also they appropriated the imperfect edifice which the conquerors of those savages had left for them. It was in little the story of old England herself, builded upon the races and the ruins of Briton, and Roman, and Saxon, of Dane and Norman.
 Under the direction of Law, the walls of the old war house were strengthened with an inner row of palisades, SUD- porting an embankmeht of earth and stone. The overlap of the gate was ex- tended into re-entrant angle, and rude battlements were erected at the four corners of the inclosure. The little stream of unfailing water was led through a corner of the fortress. In the center of the inclosure they built the houses; a cabin for Law, one for the men, and larger oae to serve as store room and as trading place, should there be opportunity for trade.
 It was in these rude quarters that Law and his companion established that which was the nearest approach to a home that either for the time .I-4 17~s. both undertook once more that old and bootless human experiment of seeking to escape from ones own self. Silent now, and dutifrlly obedient enough was this erstwhile English beauty, Mary Connynge; yet often and often Law caught the question of her gaze And often enough, too, he found his own questioning running back up the water trails, and down the lakes and across the wide ocean, in demand which, f1ercer and fercer as it grew, he yet remained too bitter and too proud to put to the proof by any means now within his power. Strange enough, savage enough, hopeless enough, was this wild home of his in the wilderness of the Messasebe.
 The smoke of the new settlement rose steadily day by day, but it gave signal for no watching enemy. All about stretched the pale green ocean . of the grasses, dotted by many wild flowers, holding and lowing like bits of fragile fotsam on the surface of continually rolling sea. The little groves of timber, scattered here and there, sheltered from the summer sun the wild cattle of the plains. The shorter grasses hid the coveys of the prairie hens, and on the marsh grown bayou banks the wild duck led her brood. A great land, rich, a fruitful one. was this that lay about these ad- yenturers

CHAPTER XXIII.
THE BRINK OF CHANGE.


 The breath of autumn came into the air. The little flowers which had dot ted the grassy robe of the rolling hills had long since faded away under the ardent sun, and now there appeared only the denuded stalks of the null lelns and the Haunting banners of the goldenrod. The wild grouse shrank from the edges of the little fields and joined their numbers into general bands, which night and morn crossed the country on sustained and strong winged flight. The plumage of the young wild turkeys, stalking in droves among the open groves, began to emu late the iridescent splendors of their elders. The marshes above the village became tE home of yet more numer- ous thousands of clamoring wild fowl, and high up against the blue there passed, on the southbound journey, the harrow of the wild geese, vending their way from north to south across an unknown empire.
 A chill came into the waters of

MANS LOVE ur THE DOG.
Of All the Animals This One Alons Has Made Alliance with
 Mankind.

Man loves the dog, but how mEsn more ought he to love 1t if he consid- cred, in the infiexible harmony of the laws of nature, the sole exception which is that love of being that suc- ceeds in piercing, in order to draw closer to us, tho partitions, everywheTx else impermeable, that separate the species! We are alone, absolutely alone on this chance planet; and, amid all the forms of life that surround us. not one, excepting the dog. has made an alliance with us, writes Maurice Macterlinck, in Century A few creatures fear us, most are unaware o4 us, and not one loves us. Tn the world of plants, we have dumb and notion less slaves; but they serve us in spite of themselves. They simply endura our laws and our yoke. They are irn- potent prisoners, victims incapable of escaping, but silently rebellious: and. so soon as we lose sight of them, they hasten to betray us and return to their former wild and mischievous liberty The rose and the corn. had they wings, would fly at our approach like the birds.
 Among the animals, we number a few servants who have submitted only through indifference, cowardice. or stupidity; the uncertain and craven horse, who responds only to pain and is attached to nothing; the passive and dejected ass, who stays with us only because he knows not what to do nor where to go, but who nevertheless. under the cudgel and the pack saddle, retains the idea that turks behind his ears; the COW and the OK. happy so long as they are eating, and docile be- cause for centuries they have not had thought of their own; the affrighted sheep, who knows no other master than terror; the hen. who is faithful to the poultry yard because she finds more maize and wheat there than in the neighboring forest. do not speak of the cat, to whom we are nothing more than too large and uneatablea prey, the ferocious cat, whose sidelong contempt tolerates us only as encHm- bering parasites in our own homes. She, at least. curses us in her mysteri- ous heart: but all the others live be- side us, as they might live beside a rock or tree. They do not love us, do not know us. scarcely notice us. They are unaware of our life, our death, our departure, our return, our sadness, our joy, our smile. They do not even hsar the sound of our voice, as soon as 1t no longer threatens them; and. when they look at us. it is with the distrust-, ful bewilderment of the horse, in whose, eye still hovers the infatuation of the elk or gazel that sees us for the first time, or with the dull stupor of the ruminants, who look upon us as mo- mentary and useless accident of the pasture.

MAIZE.


 Ola! Jean Breboeuf," called out Du Mesne to that worthy, who presently appeared, breathing hard from his climb up the river bluff. Know you what has been concluded?"
 No: how should guess?" replied Jean Breboeuf. "Or, at least, if 1 should guess. what else should I guess save that we are to take boat at once and set back to Montreal as fast as we may? But that-what is this? Whose house Is that yonder?"
 Tis our own, mon enfant,p re- piled Du Mesne, dryly. :" Twas perhaps the property of the Iroquois moon agu. A moon before that time the soil It stands on belonged to the Illini. To-day both house and soil belong to us. See; here stood the village. There are the cornfields, cut and trampled by he Iroquois. Here are the kettles of the natives
