A GRATEFUL BOY.

A gift always opens the door of an
Eskimo heart, declares Knud Ras-
mussen in The People of the Polar
North" and then tells the story Of
a little orphan boy whom he ran
across in his travels.
Il had a little pocket knife in my
pocket, and 1 presented it to him In
order to establish our acquaintance.
''It was assuredly the first time in
his life that the boy had ever had
such an experience as to receive a
present. / assured him that l really
meant it. Then, without change of
expression, he snatched the knife out
of my hand and ran off. 1 did not
think that l should see any more of
him, and was just going into our
tent when he came running up with
a piece of walrus meat, which he
pressed into my hand.
Thou gavest, see; 1 give too
said he, and his face shone with
grease and pride. But from that day
forth we were friends.
Electromagnetic had no relatives at
all to look after him. He was every
body's drudge, and slept in an old
ruined building, where he said he
was very comfortable. He could not
have been more than ten years old
at the outside, although there was
little of the child about him; but al
ter he came to live in our tent we
noticed that he began to sing when
alone, and, after while, he could
beat time to his singing on little
tin box, so in spite of life of ne
glect he got a little JOY now and
then. .''-Youth's Companion.

Mrs. Wright, and shook hands SILENT
ly with her and Lena. He was un-
usually awkward that morning. and
looked very large and out of place In
the dainty, womanly room. He
stroked his chin with his strong
brown hand almost nervously.
81 am glad" he said at length. II
am glad!"
Then he looked round the room
rather helplessly. The chairs were
ridiculously small and frail compared
to his huge frame, and he made no
attempt to sit down.
'I have just bought a very good
saddle" he said, suddenly, and with
out any sequence of thought. "The
man is altering it for me. I suppose
l can countermand it now"
He smiled little, and the ladies
smiled sympathetically. The two
elder women took an ardent interest
in that saddle just as they would
have taken an interest in digestive
bread or the death of Alcibiades, if
Charlie had brought the subject un-
der their notice.
Then they talked of Vienna and
the journey there, praising the gifted
Mr.. Bradshaw, and abusing the Ger
man railways, until Charles Mistley
took his temporary leave.
He wandered down Seymour street
in an absent-minded manner. Pres
emily he came upon little black-and-
tan terrier sitting upon doorstep,
with its quivering spine pressed
against the immovable door. He
stopped before it, and the dog raised
one paw as If to beg him to ring the
bell, setting back it's head, and look
ing up at him with pretty canine
'coquetry. Without thinking much
of what he was doing, the sailor
raised his hand and rang the bell;
then he strobe on.
81 am glad" he murmured. eyes,
I am glad! BY George!" he ex-
claimed-"by George! I am in time
for the alternative yet" And calling
a cab he drove rapidly to the Ad-
miralty.

A man in the corner with big

there was whispered confab, and a
smiling conductor returned to the
wealthy passenger.
"a gentleman has offered to give
you change" he said.
"Ha, ha! So you had to climb

fine fellow, eh! Well, here's the

around the north coast of Greenland

lures from his own story. One OF
these is the pursuit and capture of
bear, which they discovered on lit>
tie plateau high up on mountain
crag. The little ledge was reached
by a bridge not more than good
yard in width.
His majesty was not visible to Schei
until he came within few feet of
him, but then it was not long before
a shot was heard. The bear sank
together, and in few seconds after
wards all the dogs had thrown them
selves upon it.
They tugged and pulled at the
bears coat, tearing tufts of hair out
of it, and before we knew what they
were doing, had dragged the body to
the edge of the plateau, where it shot

The dogs stood amazed, gazing
down into the depths where the bear

but not alone, for on it were two dogs
which had clung so fast to its hair
they now stood planted head to head,
and bit themselves still faster to it
in order to keep their balance.
T watched th ic
unexpected journey through the air.
The bears body dashed violently
against the rock, turned a somer-
sault out from the mountain wall,
and fell still farther, until, after fall
ing a height of altogether at least
a hundred feet, it reached the slopes
by the river, and was shot by the i'm
petus right across the river ice and a
good way up the other side.
And the dogs? When the bear
dashed against the mountain they
sprang up like rubber balls, described
a large curve, and with stiffened legs
continued the tourney on their own
account. falling with a loud thud on

their legs in a moment, and set off as
fast as they could go.

JOHANN COURTING.

More than one royal romance has
occurred in the family of the Haps-
burgs. The best of all, perhaps, is
that Of the Archduke Johann, brother
of the Emperor Francis J. One day
he was travelling incognito when he
arrived in a village where he desired
to take a coach for Vienna. He
looked around to hire carriage, for
which, having been obtained, he
was brought to him.
Your Iame?" queried the Arch
duke
johann, sir" answer the lad.
The Archduke was cute" He had
seen at glance that this was no
boy before him, but a girl disguised.
What do your call yourself when
you are at home helping your mother
in the kitchen?" he asked, smiling.
Anna Plochi," she answered, "and
what is your name?"
Johann, too; | am an archduke.
Il suppose you will say that you
are the Emperor himself next?" she

Here, behold, the people saluted,
and she made inquiries, thus finding
out the real facts. But she thought
little more of the matter until a
month later the Arcvhduke strobe
into her fathers cottage just at the
dinner hour, and asked permission to
join the family gathering. The girl
began apologies, but the Archduke
laughed them aside, and insisted on
being called plain Johann"
The visit was repeated again and
again, and at last the villagers began
to talk-unkindly Anna at last
asked the Archduke to come no more
because of the gossip. That settled
it. He asked her to marry him, and
aespite the objections of the EN-
peror, the two were married. Later

that she should do the same; but she
remained motionless, and for some
reason he did not carry out his pur-
pose.

him into the deserted street, 'do you

CHAPTER XXXIII.

So Charles Mistley TRANQUILITY be-
gan his simple arrangements for a
journey he was destined never to
take.
Suspense, like all mortal things,
must have an end; and for the watch
ers in Seymour street the end was
drawing near. 1t came at last, on
the Thursday morning, just twenty
four hours before the time fixed by
Charlie for his departure.
Lena was still in her room, al
though the punctual breakfast bell
had been rung some minutes before.
She was in the fact of fixing q little
brooch at her throat, when there was
a hurried knock at the door, and the
sound of the colonel's voice, vibrating
with emotion, followed instants ue-
ously.
Lena! Lena!"
Eyes, papa" she answered, quietly
enough. Then she stood motio"iess,
with her back to the window. V atch-
ing the door.
MAY come in, Lena?"
Yes"
She knew that there was news at
last
Then the door opened. For mo-
ment Lena experienced a strong de-
sire to laugh aloud. The colonel en-
tered the room hastily; il one hand
he fourished a submarine telegraph
form, in the other wa3 the bread
knife, with little scra'Js of brown
paper adhering to its edge.
'Mistley is at Vienna." he gasped.
"He is at Vienna! Thank God for
this
He threw the breadknife upon the
bed, and presently went there and
rashly sat down upon it.
Yes" said Lena, quietly. She was
still engaged with her brooch, and
now she turned to look into the glass.
Lena" exclaimed her father.
'Do YOU hear me? Do you under
stand? He is at Vienna! He is
SAFE! Here is the telegram. They
have just brought it."
He held the paper toward her. She
saw the action, and noted mechan-
ically the slips of blue paper pasted
on to the white telegraph form. She
remembered wishing with all her
strength to step forward and take
that paper; then there. came sudden
blank, a sense of utter, boundless
vacuity, and she found her mother S
comforting arms around her.
At breakfast the telegram was dis
cussed word by word. 1t was not en-
tireIy satisfactory upon closer investi-
CATION.
Safe, but quite Knocked UP. Can
you come to me? Tell mater and
Charlie"
Can you came to me?'" repeated
Colonel Wright, with fierce look in
his eyes as he swallowed hasty
breakfast. "Can I go to him? That
is like MiBtley. AS if the fellow did
not know-as if he didn't know!
And yet he puts it like that; it is
Mistley all through. You cannot tell
whether the fellow means to be
funny or pathetic, and somehow it is
both
Mrs. Wright made no reply. She
merely laughed a bow, gentle laugh,

room. He was laden with sundry
wraps and packages, which he set
down rather absently upon polished
table.
"The return of the prodigal." he
said, cheerfullv. II do wish liked

This brought Mrs. Wright's
thoughts back to practical matters.
Beef teal" she exclaimed. You
must have some beef tea

colonel.
"Ask him." he said. 81 know
nothing about it. The affair has lost
all interest for me. He has taken
charge of the matter. l am not al
lowed to say what like or what l
dislike-in fact, am the bane of my
own life"
Beef tea," said Colonel Wright,
severely, as he drew off his gloves.
Eyes, beef tea"
This was soon. brought out, and the
whole party stood around the sick
man to see that he consumed it.
And have you done all you wanted
to do, VIM" asked Mrs. Mistley
presently.
"Oh, yes replied he, breathlessly,
between the sips. won't you let me
off the rest? / am going down to the
sediment now"
But Colonel Wright was not con-
tent with this laconic account of his
pupils exploits.
HE has done that, and more!' he
said exultingly. "He has done what
no man living las done before him,
or could hope to do again. He has
been right through to Peshawur and
back. He has mapped out every fea-
sible route, and noted the position
of every we'll, and obtained every i'm
aginable item of information that the
officer commanding division could
require And that quite outside his
own diplomatic work, which has been
carried out to the letter.
Such was the home coming of Win
yard Mistley.
1t was only by degrees that they
, extracted from him the details of his
perilous journey. How he escaped
detection by the readiness of his wit.
How, encompassed by danger,
treachery and fanaticism on every
side, he came through it all by sheer
self-reliance and intrepidity. How
he lay for months i'll in a Turcoman
tent, nursed and tended by the SIM
pie nomads How, time after time,
the combination seemed too strong
for him to fight against, and how his
good fortune attended him to the
very end But all this had to be
guessed at by his loving listeners.
The story of that unique and wonder
full journey was never fully told.
Partly by aid of their own magma
ton, partly by persistent questioning.
they succeeded in putting together a
more or less connected narrative;
but Vineyards own account was de-
cidedly unsatisfactory, as well might
have been expected. A man cannot
tell his own story advantageously.
There was no one else to tell the
tale of VINEYARD Mistley's achieve
ment, and so it was never told. Far
away on the sands Of the Khivaian
desert, out of the caravan route, in a
trackless waste untrodden by the feet
of man for years together, few
whitened bones picked clean and
scattered by the Quarreling vultures,
lay beneath the cleaning sun, wait
ing the end of all things. This, and
nothing more, was what remained Of
the young Englishman's daring COM
panion during the greater part of his
wonderful Journey, and the story of
it lay silent with those bones.

THE WONDERS OF SURGERY.

Among the Arabs and the Moors
every European traveller is supposed
to be doctor of medicine and sur
geon. The healing art is the only one
upon which they boast themselves.
and it is, perhaps, the one of which
they know the least. Walter B. Har-
ris, in his account Of a journey to
operation in surgery as it was report
ed to him by a native doctor who
was travelling in his company.
1 think the old man fancied that
doubted his skill. At least, he was
always holding forth upon the sub
ject, and continually repeating the
story that when in Algeria he had
been offered a fabulous salary-the
sum varied each time the tale was
told-to remain in charge of the mill
tary hospital at Algiers, an honor
which he had declined.
He never tired of narrating the
facts and details of his most success
full operation. There is a sect in
Morocco called Hamacha, who are
followers of a certain saint buried
near Mekinez. These devotees amuse
heir audience-apd themselves, too,
let us hope-by throwing into the
air heavy cannon-balls, which they
allow to fall upon their shaven
crowns. On the occasion in question
Hamdushi had unfortunately been
wanting in religious power, for the
cannon-ball crushed his skull.
My old sheriff friend had been
called to the rescue. According to
his account, he removed the broken
| patch of skull, replacing it with the
rind of green pumpkin, and closed
the skin over it. In months time.
he said, the patient was not only con-
valescent, but was once more hard at
work practicing his religio-acrobatic
| feats, with not only a remodeled and
renovated skull, but even a new crop
of hair
