over the Hills.

Over the Hills.
Over the crests of the hills that lie
Yelled In a distant blue,
In the mysterious By and BY,
What will there be to do?
What will boy, from ball and kite
Called by the deeds that wait,
Find when he strides like an ardent
knight
Through the horizons gate?
Marvellous ventures, and hazards
rare,
Bidding a master hand?
Country and city and sky more fair,
Forming a wondrous land?
Narrow the limits that hedge to-day
Mother and school and home,
Over the borders and far away
Eager the lad to roam.
Over the hilltops fame is won;
Cities and towns stretch far
Noble achievements by men are done;
Glory and wealth there are.
But we who have seen the land and
sea,
Wide plains and mountains tall,
Gladly would turn us again, for we
At home might have found It all.

against the hay bales That formed
the passage wall at the spot. a lurch
of the steamer to starboard aided
him.
He was not quarter second. too
soon. AS the steer Numbered by with
lowered head, the tip of his long,
sharp horn caught in the shoulder Of
Cranston's sweater, snearing through
it like steel lance, but not touch
ing the skin. One of the hoofs al
most brushed his face.
Without an instant's delay the
American sprang to his feet.
He knew that as soon as the ami
NAL reached the end of the passage
and could turn he would come charg
ing back again. To remain prone on
the deck would be to tempt destruc-
ton. Rope in hand, ne ran forward
to gain the alley leading off at right
angles to the other side of the ship
Just at it's entrance he collided with
Jenny and sent him sprawnng
Cranston CROPPED for the sailor, caught
him by the shoulder, and dragged
him into the alley just as the steer
careened by in the other direction.
1t was close work.
Across the passage and directly op-
posite the entrance of the alley stood
a post marking the partition between
two cattle spaces, and unfolding the
ends of the headboards three feet
above the deck.
Cranston remembered this, and de-
yised a simple, although perilous,
plan for mastering the steer, which
had meanwhile passed down tne
gangway again.
Tying one end of a rope to a
stanchion in the alley, he enlarged
the slip-noose in the other end until
it was at least a yard in diameter.
Letting Jenny hold one side of the
loop, and keeping the other in mis-
own hands, he sprang across the
passage, and was soon perched on
a headboard, with one arm around
the post. The darkness was so dense
that he was obliged to depend entirely
upon touch.
The two men waited breathlessly,
holding the open moose across the
way. Cranston's position was move
than ever dangerous one. If he
slipped forward he would be directly
under the feet of the charging steer,
if backward, he would tumble among
the united cattle, from which even
now he was risking a horn-thrust in
the back.
Again came the clatter of hoofs.
The rope was torn suddenly from the
Americans hands. He lost his bal
ance, tumbled forward on hairy
flank, and was hurled to tine deck.
Jenny sprang back into the alley
just in time to void being caught
between the taut rope and the corner.
The animal had put his head and
left fore-leg fairly through the moose;
and when the rope frightened he was
thrown in heap.
Lanterns were now brought down,
he was quickly overpowered, and ten
minutes later was in mis- place again,
securely fastened to his headboard.
The remainder of the trip was I'M
eventful, and Cranston began his Eu-
ropean itinerary at Liverpool, none
the worse for his ten days work upon
the cattle decks.-Yo uth's Companion.
