It w as a very hard winter, and from

had declared that it would Iks her last

Her house, Gray Court, w as a very hit
one; hut it was soon filled to overtlow

cousins and ";oilcliililrcii, all ra(,'i-r to be
"in at the death."
Kach had receivetl a similar letter
from the old lady's housckeeier saj'intr:
"Miss Gallipot Hunks you for your tie
sire to come and hid her e-(i,d-hy, hut
she l"p you will not take the trouhle
of couiino- so far. She appreciates all
your affection, hut would not like to
trespa-ss. If, however, you insist on
comiiio- I have her orders to prepare a
room for you."
And each one came.
Kach found a comfortahle apartment
made ready for his or her arrival,
and each found a Scripture text in larjre
capital letters framed upon the mantel
piece. The text was the same in each
room: '"Where the carcass is there
shall the cables Ik- fathered together."
Gray Court was full of quests, hut not
one of them was admitted to the dyinef
chamlx'r of the hostess.
The thn-tors, or the nurse, or the old
housekeeper seemed always on n"uard,
and it would have leen easier to slip
past a sentry than to i,.t past them.
On the last daj of the old year the
life of their hostess ehln'd away; anil
while the mtiHled peal was rilifrino; out
iver the frozen fields her naked soul
crept shirerin-r out into the nio-ht,
I In the eve of the twelfth day was the
funeral, and, after it. all r"ceivcd a
mandate from the deceased's law3'er to
attend the reading of the w ill.
It was read in a very larje room, like
a storcrotam, in which they all found
themselves for the first time.
The will ciimnieiii'iil with liWral Ite
quests to the deceased's doctor, lawyer
and parish clergyman. Item-fact ion s ti

When these were finished the "guests

Then followed jrenerotts leacit"s to
her servants and a handsome provision
for the old housekeeper who had Itecn
faithful to Iter during s. many 3'ears.
Tiieti came a list of the names if all

the will, "I leave and Itcqucath such

which yoti will in turn indicate and

The lawyer paused, and rising from

ROSY-CHEEK AND CURLY
When I go home, this welcome wait
Kach evening when the day U Hed:
The lutu rin? of lilUe feet:
Then cliiuriiifr arms, ud kUsesaweet
From rosy-'heek and curly-head.
They come with shouts of rioting:
1 hey 're lauirbin so they scarce can speak'
A pair of highwaymen are they:
And I, an easy -yielding prey
Tu curly-head and rutty-cheek.
But curly heads will sometimes ache.
And till our souls with sudden dread:
And roses fade, while hearts stand alilL
h, may there come no touch of ill
To rosy-cheek and curly-head!
God bless all little cheeks of rose!
Where'er they bloom. Thy sunlight shed!
Hless little heads of ripplim; hair:
Oh, take iuto Thy tender care
Kach rosy-cheek and curly-head.'

but the witch doctor prophesied a lot of

and scared the chief. Now I didn't
want to marry I'popina, but I could see
that if I did I would le saved from
bcin" et; but I thoupht I would try to
save myself and pet out of the marriape
also. I could have run off to sea
an3' da3-, but there' warn't no
boats. I could see ships sailin' by quite
often, but there warn't 110 wa3" to pit

the old feller to pive me ni3' mejuin

pot a lot of African Iteans and some
hollow reeds and some sticky clay. I
set the Wans a cookin' anil put the
reeds intti a little hole I made in top of
the cooker. I invited the witch doctor
in, and told him this was some of my

tohl him to put his mouth to the rced

sir. I'popina was tU in' to marry me at

We had Iteen in the mountains a

War ami any nu mWr of birds. On the
morninp of the seventh day we left a
3'ounp Ihiplishuian named Kinpsburj
in cauip, as tin the day Ik fore some
animal had visited onr cjuartcrs, t-utcii
a lot of bacon and played havoc peicr
all3" with supplies. There had Uvn a
ptMMl ileal of chaltinp altout the bald
face, ami IVnninpton had prow 11 tired
of warninp us of the danper of an en

old trapper shouted out, as he w histled
to his tlops and walked away- "Say,
Kinpsbury, if you see a bald-face I ad
visee vuu to make a break for the mule
ami lipid out for the valley; for if you
don't we'll never collect eiiottpU of the
remains to ship back to the folks at

The mule referred to was staked out
about tine hundred yards away in a level
clear spot- The Lnpl shmaa didn't re

huiitinp knife as an answer.
We thoupht nothinp more of the cir

and several bird Winp the result ol
the hunt. We iuct at an aprccd spot
some three nines irom tne camp and
proceeded topcthcr to our quarters, ex
jtcctinp that Kinpsbury would have
prepared for us a sultstantial dinner,
lleachinp an elevation some distance
from camp we paused a moment, when
IVnninpton remarked' "l!y posh,
wherc's the mule?" We all looked, but
no mule couid we see. Possibly it had
broken aw ay and pone off, or it mipht
lte hidden in the prass, lyinp down, but
a field-plass failctl to reveal the animal.
I'ritccedinp slowly toward camp, we
soon reached the space w here the mult?

There was no lonper aii3" question
where the mule was. It was lyinp on
the pround complct-dy tliscmltoweleil,
its back broken and its head literally
torn oft.
One word told the story. A ba'.l

and it Winp hobbled so securely that
escape was imjtossible. had killed it.
The prass showed that there hatl Wen
a strnpple. and the immense tracks of
the Itear were plait. ly seen. Its marks
tin the back antl side of the mule looked
as if a cleaver had Iteen at work.
Three rilts were torn away from thtr
backlmiie ami one hind lop almost
stripped of its flesh. An ax in Un
hands of a piant could have .lone no
lietter.
With our puns ready to fire tin the
instant we all noiselessly crossed over
to the camp only to find it vacant.
Kinpsbur3-'s Winchester lay 011 t h
prou lid some little distance away, the
kettles, pans and camp fixtures were

struck them, the tent was thrown to

Kvcrythinp was perfectly quiet. Ilut
we knew that the trouble had been re

was a fire at t he camp n it nearly burin- 1

Meanwhile a shot from Itiake's rifle

therilles were mipht- shaky. "Give

No fur3" couhl equal the rape of that

looked a 3'ard lonp. In the excite:::. 'tit
