The Tree Tavern.

In the Tavern Of the Tree.
Listen to the reyelry!
Mark the merry minstrel there.
Seated in his leafy chair
At his cups the whole day long
Paying toll with silvery song.
Every draught he takes is drawn
From the cellars Of the Dawn;
fragrant dew from fowery TASKS.
Amber air from fairy casks
Brought from Araby. and bright
With the Orients golden light:
Spicery OF buds and vines
Flavors his delicious wines.
Is it strange his lyrics hold
SO much OF the summers gold?
Rapture Of the roses caught,
into music deftly wrought;
Run and ripple OF the riIls.
All translated in his trills;
Every sweet. enchanted thing
In his gladness made to sing.
All. my mOcking bird. drink on
Tin the happy day is gone;
Till the pale moon rising up
Drops the stars down in your cup.

BORN AN EXPLORER.
Com ma nder Peary Has Had the Fever
Since BoyhoOd.

Since BoyhoOd.
A man who set out to reach the
north pole should know how to endure
hardships, and Commander Peary long
ago began to learn. A prominent citi.
zen Of Maine, himself lover Of out.
door life, relates that when Peary was
young man 1t was common thing
for him to take n camping outfit OF
blanket and a lunch" and start for the
mountains bordering upon Maine and
New Hampshire.
There, alone, he would pass days ex'
plOring ravincs. lodges and the deep,
secluded spots, cooking his own meals
and fensting upon the trout with which
the streams abounded. He never built
camp; he simply rolled himself In q
blanket to sleep, but he would come
out brown and hardy.
On one Of these occasions he had
taken canoe to the head waters Of
Cold river, and after passing II few
days, came down the Saco, and stopped
Mt about 8 o'clock for a word with
those In my camp. We expected to
have the pleasure Of his company for
the night, thinking TINT he would well
come hearty meals and good bed.
But mo-" he said. II never sleep In.
doors when on these trips"
It was cold, windy November night
but he babe us goodby and went down
the river. The next morning, beside
stone wall, we found his camping
place. A few smoky embers told us
where he had cooked his breakfast.
and a spot on the grass on feet long
and free from white frost showed u
where he had slept.

AN APT CONJUROR.
How Q Little Ruse Saved Him from
Probable Death at Morocco.

How . Little Ruse Saved Him from
Probable Death at Morocco.
The troubles Of France over the
Moroccan question recall the difficulty
into which French conjurer got at
Fee in the time of the late sultan. He
was wandering about the country,
meeting with great success among the
Moors, when the sultan heard of his
skill and Immediately sent for him to
Fec. He was commanded to perform
before the court and the trick which
met with most success was that of the
two pigeons.
The conjurer produced couple Of
pigeons, one white and the other black,
and, cutting Off their heads, placed the
head of the white pigeon In the neck
Of the black one and liberated the two
birds, who flew about the sultan, who
was much taken with this trick and at
once sent for two magnificent slaves,
one white and the other black, and or
dereS the unhappy man to perform the
| trick on them.
The conjurer knew that to refuse
would mean his own death, but he was
equal to the occasion. He declared
| that he could do the trick easily, but
that the magic weapons he had with
him were not strong enough for two
such big men. He therefore asked
leave to 60 and fetch the necessary
tools. promising to return and perform
the trick In Il few days time.
As soon as he got to the coast he set
| sail for France and took particular
care never to 60 near Morocco again.

CHAPTER v,

ShAk
BEFORE leaving the city George oh.
tained q promise from his friend, Sigis.
mund Smith. Whatever tidings Mr..
Smith should at any time hear about
the Sleafords he was to communicate
Immediately to the young surgeon Of
Graybridge.
George Gilbert's last words had rsla.
tion to this subject; and all the way
home he kept debatn. In his mind
whether It was likely the Sleafords had
really gone to California. or whether the
idea had been merely thrown out with
q view to the mystifcation Of the irate
landlord.
II hope that foolish sslsmund won't
meet Miss Sleaford again." George
thought, very gravely; "he might DO
silly enough to marry her. and I'm sure
she'd never make q good wife for any
man."
Early In the following spring tho
young man received a letter from his
friend. Mr.. Smith. Sgismund wrote
very discursively about his own pros
poets and schemes. and gave his friend
| brief synopsis of the romance he had
Just begun. George skinned lightly
enough over this part of the letter; but
