bara, you cannot know how greatly I
need the strength that the sympathy
and counsel of such woman as you
are must give to the man who loves
and wins her. You have in this hour
rescued me from dependency; you
have made me strong again; you have
shown me my duty and inspired me
with resolution to do it manfully."

Il think I have a plan for you and

ought to marry a woman that you
need never be ashamed to introduce

capacity to make you happy, not just
for little while, but throughout all
your life, I would say yes to the ques-

make any mistake that might spoil
your life, and so must not say YES
just now, at least, and you will not let
me say no. l am still very young, as
you know. You, too, are young enough

to be worth anything or not. I've ac-
cumulated enough money to pay for it,
"Oh, as to that" answered Hallam

lam can work when he is in earnest.
You must have hope and confidence.
Besides, nobody who knows you will
ever believe such a story as that. Your
own life will contradict the lie, and
Tandy's reputation is not of kind to
lead sensible people to believe his false
hood when you have set the truth
against it. You are depressed and de-
spondent now. The mood is unworthy
Of you"
'"Tell me what should do"
"First of all you should act like the
brave, strong man that you are. You
should either take this SANDER by the
throat and strangle it by publishing a
simple, direct statement of the facts,
or you should ignore it altogether as a
thing too absurd to need even denial.
Wait till you see what Captain HalMm
and Mr.. Temple succeed in doing and
then act as seems best. But, in any
case, you must be strong and coura-
geous. No other mood belongs to such
a man as you"
Duncan looked her full in the face
for a space before speaking. Then he
said:

whole thing, except that they have put
share or two into the hands of men,
bers of their own families, just by way
OF qualifying them to serve as direct
ors, as the law requires. Neither one
Of them would sell share for twice it's
market price. The same thing is true,
in general way at least, of our bank.
The stock is so good thing that no.
body who has got any Of it ever wants
to part with it. But it has always been
our policy to interest the people in the
bank by letting them hold some of it's
stock. So good deal of it is held in
small lots around town, and now and
then one Of these is put into my hands
for sale. I have four shares now to
sell. 1t belongs to a tug captain who
is down on his luck just now and must
sell. He wants more than the market
price, but the bank has lent him money
on it nearly up to it's face value, and so
I can do pretty much as I please with
1t. Ordinarily I should buy it myself,
but I'm in so many things just now,
and, besides, I'd like to have you with
u.s.
Tandy did not say that since he had
seen Temple in the afternoon he had
taken in these four shares of stock for
debt at 3 per cent below par, with the
fixed purpose Of selling them to TEN
pie at 3 per cent above par.
"How many shares did you say there
are Of it," asked Temple.
"Four, if I remember right. l really
oughtn't to let it slip through my fin
gers, but-well, I'll tell you what I'll
do. If you care to subscribe for few
shares of the barrel company-say one
or two thousand dollars worth-I'll let
you have the bank stock at 1O3.
Temple was eager to close the bar
gain, but he resolutely repressed his
eagerness. He asked a score of cues
tons, as if in doubt, and at last he
hesitatingly agreed to make the pur-
chase. The details were to be ar
ranged on the next day, and so Tandy
took his leave, and Temple lay awake
all night, as he had done on the night
before.
At 4 o'clock the next afternoon Tenn
pie strolled into the Hallam Office to
report results. He threw the papers
upon desk and sank into chair like

CONSTABLE AS A FISH.
Pony and Trap Landed By Angler With
 Rod and Line.

From the Cork County Eagle.
 Two remarkable angling stories come from Durrus, in Cork county, the one re- lating to the attempt made to land a po- lice constable by means of a salmon fish ing rod and the other to the strange ex- perience which befell Dr. Orr, a Hudders- field surgeon, in the same place.
 Dr. Lewis, the medical officer of Dur rus undertook to land any swimmer in the river in fifteen minutes. and Con- stable Kennedy, a noted swimming cham pion, consented to act the fish, A belt was fastened across the constabe's shoul- ders and to this was attached a strong salmon hook. A lancewood rod and the ordinary salmon fishing line were used. The human fish took the water at high tide and with a bold stroke swan out ten yards. At this distance Dr. Lewis checked the constables progress and then the fish dived and turned on his back, but without avail
 For two minutes 1t was an even con- test between angler and fish, then the constable swan away for twenty yards, when he was again brought up He dived and wiggled like an eel, but not another inch could he add to his advantage. After eleven minutes struggle the angler was gaining ground, but Constable Kennedy gathered strength, and diving, made away with a powerful stroke. At the fourteenth minute, when only one minute remained, the salmon line snapped and the fish was declared the victor.
 More remarkable still was the incident which followed. Dr. Orr of Huddersfield was fly fishing in the river when the pony which brought him from Dunbeacon broke loose from where 1t was tied and fell into atnf- tagffl bn trar. aff lad Ina pony made frantic efforts to swim ashore but was hampered by the weight of the trap.
 Dr. Orr, the narrative goes on, was fish ing at the opposite side of the stream and he threw his line toward the pony. By a fortunate chance the fishing hook caught the poney in the ear and held fast The angler pulled his line and the pony re- sponded with the result that both pony and trap were safely landed on the short.

Hausa Slaves Own Story.
From Appleton's Magazine.

From Appleton's Magazine.
 Before my master returned from Ouragala, l planned again to escape with Bako, another slave; we would avoid the towns and go far north" says Salam. Hausa slave whose thrilling account of hls escape is told in Appleton's for September "One day when he were alone branding camels we selected the fastest mehara in the herd and started. For seven days and nights we travelled without stopping. The hot sun beat down upon our heads; the second day a standstorm dried up what little water we had in our goatskins. by turn one of us, tied in his saddle, slept while the other led his camel. Sometimes we would slide down from the humps and allow the mehara to graze as we walked along. We found no water, and the beasts began to show signs of thirst and ut tered strange cries, grooming and gur- gling as they redrank the water from their stomachs.
 "One midnight we skrted the outlying palms of an oasis Everything was very clear in the moonlight and water was there. but we dared go no nearer the habi- tations for fear of capture, Knowing Ahmed was not far behind us. We tight ened up the saddle straps for the me hara had grown thin, and the soft parts of their humps had almost disappeared. Bako's saddle, made for loads, was hard to ride and had produced boils, so he would often sit behind 1t to vary the mo- ton.
 Sick and weak, every stride of the mehara sent pain through us. We knew that we could not much longer cling to our saddles, so we dashed each other on.. The last time that Bako fell to one side, ! was too weak to help him and he rode with his head hanging lower than his heels. The camel ticks burrowed into our skin, our tongues were cracked and bleed ing when the mehara at last staggered into Ghadames.
 Some days after, the Turkish governor of that place sent us to Trpoli with a caravan, to be taken before his brother the Bey There we were made free.'

SNOWMAN IN AFRICA.
Natives on West Coast Entertained By
 Enterprising Belgian.

From the New York Sun.
 Mir. Le Boutillier Is a Belgian snowman who works the West African circuit. He got the idea while clerking for rubber and palm oil trading company.
 It seemed to him that there would be money in catering to the African craV- ing for amusement. His wages were only l50 francs a month, but he was sure that his modest savings would dnanoe the un- dertaking. So he launched 1t two years ago. and Le Boutillier Is the whole en- terprise for he has had no temptation to reorganize on a syndicate basis.
 He has a tent in which about 15O na- tives may find seating accommodations on the ground His only white assistant stands at the tent flap and gives admit tance to any one who has copper coins or a bit of silver to the value or apout b cents Cowrie shells and native produce are not legal tender, and the range of Le Boutillier's educational and moral show Is thus confined to those parts or the coast regions between Dakar and Lagos where coins are current
 The entertainment is entirely pictorial and musical. The nainstay Is large se- ries of stereopticon views thrown on screen by kerosene illumination.
 Some of them are comic pictures ol kind to appeal to the native sense or the ridiculous, but the most are scenes rom life in European countries, such as clties and hamlets, shipping in the harpors' the domestic animals. farm laborers III the fields. crowds in the streets, etc. l.e Bou- tillier has a simple story to tell apoue all his serious pictures
 He>sits at his stereopticon reeling off his pictures and his little talk at the same time now using one of the two native languages with which he Is familiar and again employing interpreters who have at least a smattering of French, English or German for Le Boutiller talks all three. Some of the information con yeved through these native mediums is snowman insists that the pictures and lecture combine edifcation with enter tainment in high degree.
 The stereopticon views are divided into sections by the musical performance which is evoked from a number of music boxes especially made for African audi tors. Le Boutillier said he didn't want any operatic hifalutin and he had no mar ket for Wagner or Beethoven, but he could make good use of simple melodies with just enough accompaniment to sup ply harmonies that are not 0 bit in tricate.
 This is the musical pabulum in which he deals and he is helping the tuneful West Africans to add some of the simple peasant music of Europe to their reper- toire.
 The larger coast settlements have no use for Le Boutilliers modest exhibition' for they have plenty of the same sort, but there Is large opportunity at the many other centers of population 10 which the snowman makes his way no" transporting his traps along the native paths through the forests and then traV- cling along the coast Dy sea.
 He says the show business IS more profitable than clerkinG. and who VIII de- ny that he is widening the native mentai horizon by giving them few giimpses of other lands.
