1HE CAsJLE STILL STooD BUT VAS FAST FAILING NTo DEcAx HE ARK. WAe1
 STRANDED AND ROT TING

Hutter steered boldly toward it, needless of Chingachgook' S. warning that he saw signs that convinced him that Indians were hiding there.
 Perceiving that the reckless frontiers men were bent on entering without pre- caution, Chingachgook and Hist held the ark outside of the palisade after the two white men entered. The Mohicans wis dom was soon apparent, for suddenly the whole interior of the building seemed alive.
 Cursing and fighting, Hurry Harry presently emerged from the, doorway with two or three Indians hanging to his huge form. He hurled one from him so nightly that the Indian rolled into the lake unconscious and did not reappear. Then he seized a second one and bent him backward with such force that the savage'S eyes began to stare as in death. But the others leaped on the white man, tied him hand and foot and dropped him on the platform at the entrance to the stockade.
 Chingachgook swung the ark around at that moment and shouted to Harry to roll overheard. As he touched the water Hist threw, a line, which coiled around him so that he could seize it with his teeth and with his tethered hands. The ark filled away under the batter of bull lets and dragged him off. As soon as the craft was out or range ne was brought safely aboard
 At the end of an hour they saw the Iroquois leaving the castle on rafts and in the canoes which they had captured. After careful accommodating from a dis tance Chingachgook brought the ark back to the palisade. They entered and found Hutter lying on the floor scalped.
 Before sunset his body was lowered into the lake near that of the girls mother As the ark was slowly moving from the spot those on board became aware of a canoe advancing steadily to- ward them A glance sufficed to show that its solitary occupant was Deer slayer, but his approach was strangely deliberate for a fugitive.
 If any on the ark thought at first that he had escaped, they were undeceived as soon as the hunter came aboard, for he told them that the Iroquois had reprieved him only until noon of the next day, and had given him a message, which was that they would let Hurry Harry and Chingachgook depart unmolested, pro- viding Hist, Judith and Hetty were de- livered over to become the wives of Iro- ouois. As for himself, they would not let him off, but were determined to put him to the torture.
 None on the ark thought for even a moment of entertaining the offer. with the exception of Hurry Harry. who had asked Judith to be his wife that day and had been rendered furious by her re-

cluding the big chest, and skimming si- lently down the lake. Hutter and Harry lost no time in seeking sleep after their adventure, and thus gave Deerslayer and Chingachgook their opportunity to get into a canoe and paddle toward the ln- dian camp to attempt Hists rescue.
 With the marvellous silence of the na- tive American canoe man-the most skill full boatman in the world with the most remarkable boat-the two made shore few hundred yards from the camp. Chngachgook landed to await Hist, and Deerslayer padded around point and lay motioness in the black shadow of the shore, where he could see the Iro- quois.
 Before long his keen eye found Hist. She was under the watchful eye of an old squaw It was evident that she would not be able to creep away to rendezvous. DeersIayer at once padded back and held counsel with Chingachgook. In -gew minutes the canoe crept into the shadow itself, and two forms melted into the bushes.
 Perhaps half an hour afterward there came the little ohrrup of a small squir- rel from a tree immediately behind Hist. None of the Iroquois paid any attention to the familiar sound but Hist knew what 1t meant. Therefore she was on the alert when the old squaw called to her to go along to the spring behind the camp for water.
 The hag gripped her by the wrist and the two started down the trail. Scarce ly had they reached the spring before Deerslayer had the old woman by the throat, while Chingachgook seized Hist by the waist and carried her swiftly to the canoe.
 Unluckily for the white hunter, his aversion for killing forbade his choking the old woman sufficiently, and she man aeed to utter one screech. which brought the Irouuois about his ears In rush.
 Swiftly he ran to the beach. where Chingachgook and Hist crouched in the canoe paddles in hand. He dropped his rife into the boat and stopped to shove 1t of. That moment an Indian leaped on his back. Without hesitating sec ond Deerslayer gave the canoe a mighty nush that sent 1t out into the lake, and arappled with his assailant.
 A dozen others sprang on him, and Deerslayer was made captive. to the ve- hement joy of the Iroquois who felt that they had struck great blow at the hated Delawares by capturing that trne's famous white brother.
 Hutter and Hurry Harry forgetting their own recent capture, reviled Deer slayer for his imprudence, and showed little anxiety to save him when Chin gachgook and Hist arrived at the ark with the news. They set sail for the castle and dawn found 1t in plain view

The Cost of Grand Opera.

From success.
 Here are a few facts and figures which will show the stupendous outlay for the necessities of modern grand opera:
 Over 300 costumes are required for an opera like Aida"
 Charpentier's Louise" is the most ex- pensive of all operas to produce. It contains 24 principal parts. MT. Ham merstein pays s750O at each perform ance to the principals who appear in it.
 The hats. sh oes. clothing and proper ties used in Iris" at the Metropolitan were imported from Japan at cost of s6000.
 Last season G9o6-7), s1,oo5,77o. 20 was taken In at the box office of the Metropolitan and $750 900 at the Man haitian.
 This sea son's subscriptions at the Metropolitan aggregate $625,000. This Is the largest sum ever subscribed in the history of the world to foster opera.
 Chorus singers average from $25 to S30 a week. Some who have fine voices and a good repertoire are paid even higher.
 Because of the frequent indisposition of singers. three separate sets are fre- quently rehearsed for each opera.
 The Metropolitan has eight musical directors and thu Manhattan three.
 The following are the prices paid to famous artists for single performances:
 Metropolitan-Caru S5000; Frem- stad. $500: Sembr rich. $500; Flames, $500; Farrar, S1200; Cavalieri, $1200; C;adski, S1200; Bonci. $1200; Campanari sl2oO Scotti. $1o00; Chaliapine $500.
 Manhattan-Melba, S30OO; Tetrazsini, 5000 schumann Heinck s1s00; Gar den. sl750: Zenatello. s1500 iSassi, s120O; Renaud s1200, Sammarco, slooo; Dalmores, $500, Gerville- -Reache, s7o0

end he was retaken and carried back to camp.
 Here the whole band closed around hm--an armed circle that was invinci- ble They bound him against young tree, with his hands laid fiat against his legs. The women and boys began to make pine splinters, which he knew were to be stuck into his flesh and set af1re. Others prepared fire to furnish burning brands.
 A young warrior leaped to the space in front of the bound man, whirled his tomahawk and let it fly. It cut chip out of the tree close to Deerslayer' s cheek. He neither moved nor wineed, and did not even shut his eyes, deter mined that the Indians should not tri- umph over him by making him show fear.
 The second warrior threw his toma- hawk so well that it actually forced some of Deerslayer's hair into the cleft that it made in the tree. Tomahawk after tomahawk was delivered now. one fol- lowing the other like lightning. Then came warriors who threw knives. But not once did they succeed in making the white man move a muscle.
 Furious, and determined that the hun ter's nerve must be broken down, they prepared for the real torture. The great fire was lit and the warriors advanced to it, when every hand was arrested by a wonderful apparition. It was Judith, dressed in the splendid brocade that had lain concealed so long in the chest.
 Even the oldest warriors could not re- frain from excamations of surprise and delight, while the younger ones and the women pressed eagerly forward. Mingled admiration and awe quite took out of their minds any thought of harming the beautiful vision.
 Judith at once began long harangue, claiming to be queen of the land and demanding Deerslayer's release. During the progress of her speech she managed to approach the captive and whisper to him that all that was needed was to gain half an hours delay.
 Unfortunately the lroquois did not grant this truce, for they recovered from their astonishment in few minutes and began to ask questions that showed that their reason was getting the upper hand of their admiration. Soon some of the more eager warriors began to close around Deerslayer again. and the chief gave the signal to proceed.
 The flames of the temporarily neglected fire sprang up second time. The war riors felt their knives and tomahawks. Judith was forced back. Deerslayer braced himself for the exquisite torment to come. when suddenly a knife slashed his bonds and rifle was pressed into his hand.
 Ere he knew what had happened chin-

HAzED IN ANOTHER COLLEGE.
Msadventure of Student Who Went
 Visiting Freshman Friends.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 Every time l revisited my college, one of the larger ones, not long after gradua- ton," said the youngish man to his train companion, q rather hoped that some sophomore would approach me with d view to hazing.
 T wanted to get chance to say when he gave me order in lordly way. Why, I'm Blank, naughty blank and then wait to hear him apologize. It would have pleased me all the more be- cause l remember that in my sophomore year, early in the fall, l myself ap- preached a post-graduat student and gave him order and got an awful call for it.
 Even when l was in college and had occasion to visit some other university 1 tried to make myself look as much like a freshman possible, so that I might crush some foreign sophomore the same way But my hopes never were realized he added regretfully.
 You may count yourself lucky" said his companion. q was hazed once at another college, and it wasn't pleasant.
 II was visiting some freshmen at this other place We were all going to a dance that night and we were dressing when up came a bunch of sophomores who said All you freshmen, out in your paiamas!
 Tt was Just at the start or tue collese year. The other three started to obey, but I kept on dressing.
 "Ill see you fellows at the dance, I said, grinning.
 "One of the sophomores told me to cut that out and get my pajamas on.
 |" Not much I replied I'm not stu- dent here. I'm from
 "The sophomores told me to quit kid ding and to obey, or it would be worse for me The other three started to laugh in their turn, and I knew that they'd swear I was a freshman there if they got a chance. Besides, there were at least twenty sophomores and I realized that l was up against it.
 "So I gave in. Well, we got out into the street, and they were making us run races there, holding our caps in our mouths and going hands and knees, barking meanwhile, when along came a dozen of the girls who were to be at the dance. They recognized us all right. I didn't go to the dance.

How to Help Our Friends.

We often attempt to regulate the
lives of our friends through imposing
our own wills upon them. This we do
under the impression that our con-
ception of truth is superior to theirs,
and that we see more clearly than
they do. This is really but form of
selfishness, and binds all who indulge
in it, both the strong and the weak.
Of course there is point where a
kind and friendly desire to help an
other may be productive of good. But
when the desire to help another in
wolves the subjugation of his spirit
and understanding, then that desire
becomes a selfish one. For you can
not force a knowledge of truth upon
anyone Only love and patience and
living the truth yourself can bring it
to the consciousness of your friends
