For Ianthe Howard btood quite still
and motionless, looking before her with
blind, unseeing eyes. She lifted ono
hand confusedly to her bead. All tho hot
llanies Jaded from her cheek.
"I don't beliovo it," sho said slowly,
as it too stunned for anger. "I don t bo

"My dearest. I havo been sudden.
Forgive me," her aunt cried, reproach-
Hilly, alarmed at tho sight oi that wluto

"No," sho said calmly, though her
lips were pallid and trembling, "if you

At the door, Mrs. liitruham paused
ami looked back, with eyes growing sus
piciously moist and a great throb of com
passion at her heart. l'or iu the centre
of tho room, with bowed head and ner
vously clasped bauds, Ianlho Howard
stood, a pitifully, childlike figure, despite

How Animus Fight
An English correspondent in Asia, re
feriing to the lighting qualities of the
Afghan soldiery, says: "An Afghan nev
er thinks of asking for quarter, but
lights with the ferocity of a tiger, and
clings to life until his eyes glaze and his
bauds lofuso to pull a pistol trigger, or
use a knife iu a dying effort to maim or
kill an enemy. Tlio stern realities of war
were more pronounced on the battlefields
in Afghanistan than perhaps they have
ever been iu India, if wo except the re
tributive days of mutiny. To spare a
wounded man a minute was probably to
cause the death of llio next soldier who
unsuspiciously walked pnst him. One
thing our men certainly Karned iu Af
ghatiistau, and that was lo keep their
wits about them when pursuing an ene
my or passing over a hard-won field
There might be danger lurking in each
seemingly inanimate form studding tho
ground, and unless care and caution were
exercised, the wounded Afghans would
steep soul in bliss by killing akaifer just
when life was at its last ebb. The stub
born love for lighting In crfrcwh is pro
moted doubtless by fuualncim, and we
saw so much of it that our men at close
quarters always drove their bayonets
well home, so that there should bo no
mistake in the deadly nature ol tin.1
wound. The physical courage which dis
tinguished tho imtiaiiied mobs who
fought so resolutely against us was
worthy of all admiration; the tenacity
with which men. badly armed and hick
ing skilled leaders, clung lo their posi
lions was remarkable, to say nothing of
tho sullen doggedness they often showed
when retiring. Hut when tho tide of the
light set in against them and they saw
further resistance would involve them
deeply, there was so sudden a change al
ways apparent that ono could scutccly
believe llio fugitives hurrying over the
hills were the same men who had resist
ed so desperately but a feiv minutes be
fore. They acted wisely, as they knew
their powers in scaling hills, or in
making their escape by lleetuessof fool,
and the host generally dissolved with a
rapidity which no one but an eye witness
can appreciate If cavalry overtook
them, i hey turned like wolves and
fought with desperation, selling their
lives as dearly as men ever sold, but
there .vas no rally in the true sense of
the word, :ml but faint attempts at aid
ing each other. The regular troops were
but little amenable lo discipline, by
reason of deficient training, and they re
sorted to the tactics they had pursued as
tribesmen when they were once lorceil
to retire."
During a soiree given at the Winter
Palace in St. Petersburg tn the reign of
the C.ar Nicholas, souiu forty years ago,
the conversation happened to turn upon
luxuriant growths of hair; and a Gover
nor of a distant province remarked that
he had frcqucutlv noticed, in the chief
town of his government venerable Jew
whoso countenance was adorned by a
beard of extraordinary length and beauty.
"llow 1 should Hkolo see mini ejacu
lated a lady, smiling winning'' at the
narrator. "Your Highness' least wishes
are commands," replied thu Governor;
nnd that very night he dispatched a
courier to the provincial cs.pital with a
preparatory order that tho Hebrew should
bo forwarded to him without delay. On
receipt of this commacd tho local au
thorities at once caused the Hebrew to
be conveyed post-hastu to St.Petersburg.
His protestations of innocence, were ig
noreil. When, after traveling for more
than a fortnight, ho reached his destina
tion, the police ollicialsJearning from his
escort that hu hail been sent thither at
tho express order of the Governor, as
sumed licit he must bo a criminal of the
deepest dve. Accordingly they thrust
hiju into a dungeon, having first caused
bis hair to be clipped close and his beard
shaved on, in coiiioriuuy with prison
regulations. Hy this time several weeks
had elapsed since tho conversation above
alluded to had taken jilace,and the lady s
whim had been forgotten alike by her
self and the Governor. As, therefore,
no questions were asked about the luck
less Hebrew, ho remained hummed iu
his cull, and might havo spent the re
mainder of his days lliere had not his
relatives, wealthy traders.bestirred them
selves to obtain his release. When they
succeeded in directing oflicial attention
to his case, it came out, to the infinite
amusement of the Russian Court, that
bis beautiful beard, tho motive ot his
martyrdom, had long ceased to exist, and
with it thu necessity lor his further so
journ iu St. Petersburg. Hu was, there-
lore, grimly congratulated upon his
"lucky escape," and solemnly warned
"never to do it again."
A Spider's r'ent.
If you anchor a polo in a body of
water, leaving tho polo above tho sur
face, and put a spider upon it, ho will
exhibit inavelous intelligence by his plans
to escape. At nrst ho will spin a web
sovcral inches long and hang to ono end
while ho allows tho other to float oil iu
tho wind in the hope that it will strike
somo object. Of coursothis plan proves
a tannic but thu spioer is not dis
couraged. Ho waits until tho wind
changes, and then sends another silken
bridgo floating oil in nnother direction.
Another failure is followed by several
other similar attempts, until all thu points
ol tho compass have been tried. Hut
neither tho resources nor tho reasoning
powers of tho spider are exhausted, He
climbs to tho top of the polo and ener
getically goes to work to construct a
silken balloon. 116 has no hot air with
which to inlhito it, but ho has the powir
oi making it buoyant. When begets
his balloon finished, he does not go off
on tho mere supposition that it will enrry
mm, as men on en do, nut he laslcus to
it a guyrope, tho other end of which he
attaches to the island polo upon which
he is a prisoner. He then gets into his
icr'tal vehiilo while it is made fast and
tests it to seo whether its dimensions are
capable of the woik of bearing him away.
