herself with every available reason
that could favor her in her resolution.
when Abba came in, with a quick
step ami flushed cheek.
My Mistress" she said, when she
had assured herself that they were
alone, there is man in the garden
who wishes to speak with you"
"A mani" cried Ulin.
He says 1t is case of life or
death-of life or death to an individ-
ual, and Of life or death to a city"

tlcing the interruption. He gained

In mercy's name, Abba, what mean

lady; and l think you had better see
him. l only speak my own feelings"

as that name fell from her lips.
Julian did not send him." replied
Abba; land yet he comes in behalf of
Julian. l think the noble young chief
tain is in danger and this man hopes
that you may be able to render some
assistance"
Indeed, Abba, I must not do such
thing. 1t would not be proper. +
must not do it. What is the robber
chieftain to me?"
Il know not of verify, my lady
that such is the mans hope; but I do
know that he prays most earnestly to
see you. Yet, if you will not see him.
l will carry to him your word"
"What will he do if l refuse?"
"He will go away, and trouble you
no more"
Are you sure of this. Albia?'
II am. my lady. He babe me say
unto you that you should act your own
pleasure. He urges no claim, and will
take no Onense at refusal, but he
prayerfully asks that you will grant
him audience"
The princess was not proof against
the spirit which prompted to the re-
ception of the robber. 1t was not
wholly curiosity which moved her.
There were feelings working within
her which she could not have ex-
planned, even to herself. She told AL
bia that she might conduct the man
to her apartment.
You will come with him, Abba;

At this juncture the bondmaiden
arose from her seat and moved for
ward. Her dark eyes sparkled with
peculiar ire, and her fair brow worked
as though the balm were revolving
mighty thoughts.
Dear lady she said, addressing
her mistress, there is but one way in
which we can render the assurance
which this man seeks"
Speak, Abba" said Ulin, betraying
a suddenness of emotion which told
very plainly how her desire ran.

the girl. Il must have time: If this

have said more, but Abba was al

turned to follow her.

The Way 1t Grows Out West

One of our readers whose veracity
is above question tells the following:
The terrible news comes from the
western part of the Cherokee nation
that boy climbed cornstalk to see
how the corn was getting along, and
now the corn is growing up faster than
the boy can climb down. The boy is
clear out of sight. Three men have
undertaken to cut to tsalk down with
axes, but it grows so fast that they
can't hack twice in the same place.
The boy is living on nothing but raw
corn, and already has thrown down
four bushels of cobs.

WISE OLD PIG.

Speaking of educated animals

said man who keeps an eye out for
the queer things of the day, land
| want to say right at the start that
this particular hog is just about as
wise as they make them. This par
ticular member of the swine type
is an old SOW. She has raised a
number of families, and has always
managed to take good care of her
self and of her fiocks during the pc
Rod Of their dependency. She has
for number of years, been in the
habit of meeting the passenger. train
which stops once each day, at the
little villege where she lives. The
train may sometimes be little late,
but the old SOW is always there on
the tick of the clock, and she will re-
main there until the train comes in.
She is the first member of the little
community to hear the whistle blow
and the citizens take particular pride
in the fact that she Away hears the
whistle before they do. In fact in
this matter they have come to
rely upon her to a very large extent.
Instead of watching and listening
for the train, they will simply watch
the hog. When she turns her ears
down the track, grunts and mean
ders up to where the baggage car
stops, the citizens bestir
themselves, and get ready for the
train. They know from experience
that the old SOW knows exactly what
she is doing. She never makes
She meets the passenger
train only. Pay trains, freight train
and special trains never confuse her.
She doesn't pay any attention to
them. This is one reason why the
citizens always watch the hog.
They might err; the hog never. You
see it is matter of business with her,
the train crew is in the habit of feed
ing her. They save all he scraps,
and often accumulate a good, square
meal for the old SOW by the time
the station is reached. That's why
she never misses the train"

Duel BY Avalanche.
Geneva Cor. London Express.

Two young Italians named Guetta
and Sorato, both in their teens. and
living in a little village near Bellin-
IONA, fell in love with the same girl
who is said to have liked both suitors
equally well.
The young men, after many seri-
Gus quarrels, decided on very orig
inal plan to settle the dispute. In
forming their parents that they
were going on an excursion to the
mountains, they set out for the Splu
gen Pass, which is notorious for its
avalanches at this time of year.
Choosing the most exposed slope,
they agreed that each should stand
for two hours every day between 8
and IL a. M, the most dangerous
time) in the path of the avalanche
and allow fate to decide their des-
tiny.
For three mornings these condi-
tons were carried out, but nothing
serious happened, though several
avalanches came down the slope, but
not near the foolhardy youths.
On the fourth day an enormous
avalanche passed near Guetta, who
was knocked down by the rush of air
but not hurt.
AS the young men had no more
food left, they returned to the vii
lage to procure some, but the author
tiles got wind of the affair, and
threatened them with Imprisonment
The youths then decided to draw lots
for the girl, and Sorato won. Guetta
left the village and the young couple
were married yesterday.
