A young Italian printer named Cava

by telegraph which he thinks will rev

with a monotype composing machine,

forations are made in the monotype pa.

to have been completely successful.

Everybody shook hands when we
reached the other side of the river The
Indians, we were told, had not yet
renewed the attack on the fort, but were
expected at any time. General Carr had
sent us reinfOrcements because he thought
it might be their intention TO ambuscade
us on the way We pushed ahead rapidly;
but saw no Indians, though we came
upon numerous signs that they were not
far Off We found, for instance leaves
arranged curiously under stones Indian
post-offices, and the burned framework
of prairie wagon, to the wheels of which
were tied two charred bodies.
When we arrived at the fort we found
that the Indians had not appeared again.
They were trying, we learned, TO persuade
other tribes to 90 on the war-path But
the White Mountain Apaches TO whom
the Cibicus principally appealed saw no
reason for putting on the war-paint Just
then and so the big talks came to nothing.

We Camped on the height for the re-
m@;ader of the night, and saw, when the
sun rose, bold peaks and glistening
valleys reaching away in majestic dis
tances. But we had, of course, no time
to devote to scenery. We rode on rapidly,
till Black River, a deep stream, barred
our way. A strong swimmer, after
battling with the current for sometime,
succeeded in getting a line across. With
this he drew over a stouter rope and
fastened it to the shore.
Meanwhile Colonel Biddle, who had
joined Us at Fort Thomas a bugler and
myself had stationed ourselves as loollouts
on bluff above the river. The Colonel,
a portly man, wearicd from the night
ride, had seated himself against a rock
to take a nap. He was doing peacefully

Colonel, | see figures across the river.
They are moving in this direction"
The Colonel opened his eyes with a start
and struggled to his feet ''Apaches!' he
exclaimed. They'll swim the river and
be on us in fifteen minutes! Bugler,
sound the recall, and be quick about it,"
While the bugle was ringing out |

an honest trade then, instead of being the

Lady Mallinson squeezed his arm and

faced the hard things of their times, like

The syndicate took off an imaginary

bow. Man to man" means more than

Godfrey recognized that this rough old
person in trade was a man.
Lady Mallinson laughed and touched
the hands of the portrait and the hands
of her father. Sir Godfrey Mallinson-

He sighed once. Then he turned sharp

fighting. Well I'm going on, sir. /"
Sir Godfrey had walked and advanced

The ghost moved his mouth, but no

bags that dissolved when they touched
them into heaps of mildewed gold, and
here and there a noble gem that a noble
lady OF forgotten DAYS had worn. They
laughed and Rugged one another with
delight; and the ghost of Sir Godfrey
felt little lonely as he stood unseen
beside them. So he stole away to the
Plcture-gallery to wait till they remem-

Mallinson came; and she touched the
stern lips of the portrait with her own
sweet ones.
Pray God, she said, Il may never

So she went back to her dear living

CAUSE OF SUDDEN GRAY HAIR.

The barber applied the rich brown

Antoinette, languishing in a cell,
found the deep hue of her hair chang,

prisoned in the Tower, developed
srayish streaks with incredible speed.
The secret of all that, my dear
sir, is this:
These prisoners, in order to con-
ceal their gray hair, dyed 1t, using a
poor sort of dye, one of those sorts
that have to be applied every day or
two. In prison. naturally, they could
not get hold of this dye, and hence
their locks whitened at a miraculous
rate. When people said of them, pity

age-case Of Paraguay.

1t Is our Anglo-Saxon way to speak
slightingly of the military prowess of
most Of the Latin-American nations,
says the Boston Transcript. Their
armies are not indeed calculated to
stand much chance in the open field
against our soldiers or those OF the
European powers. They lack science,
but not courage, and even as they are,
fighting behind barbados, they are by
no means foemen to be despised.
The trouble with most of the Latin
American countries Is the absence Of
what we know as public opinion"

but force, and utilities the

despotically as ever did a car those
