Miss Abbott looks up with an air of
great surprise—only for a moment,
however, for with ail her faults she is
not one whit untiuthfal, Then her
eyes drop hastily,
“Well,” she says, with a quick ecatch-
ing of ker breath, “whatif 1 do?
There is another pause, while the
dark eyes grow darker with mingled
sadness and, it must be confessed, in
dignation, while the tremor of voice is
more marked, as Jack speaks:
“ What of 1t? Only this: The Arctic
expedition expects to leave port to-
morrow, and I go with it or not, as yon
bid me. Yon kuow well enough that 1
love you, Ethel-—surely I need not tell
you that again.”
“It is of no use,” says Miss Ethel,
after a moment's silence, with a little
plaintive laugh. “No, Jack, we are
both too poor; and. though I don’t like
to confess it, I am too mercenary.”
There is no reply, though Miss Ab-
bott pauses for ome; the dark
eyes rest upon her with an in.
tensity whizh is not pleasant, and the
young man’s grasp on the hammock
tightens involuntarily. She goes cn
hastily:
“I know it does not sound well, but
it is true. 1 want so many things—

tumes—in shot, everything money can

_ Certainly, Miss Abbott's confession

which follows it is.
“ Bo you prefer marrying an income

ment vouchsafed by her auditor.

which he does at great length—in fact,
just a little longer than his listener can |

“You are an animated guide-book,
Colorel Arnhold.”
The colonel panses aghast- only for |
one moment, however; for of course |
her speech was intended as a compli-
ment, though rather brusquely deliv-
ered.
“My dear young lady, you are most
kind,” he says, with a bland smile; and
then the conversation becomes ox |
tremely personal, they walk if possi-
ble more slowly than ever, and the!
colonel is speaking very earnestly.
At length they pause under the shade |
of a wide-spreading elm, just where the
avenue comes to an abrupt turn. The |
colonel is holding an unresisting hand. |
“I will do all in my power to make |
your life a happy one,” he says, and |
then silently awaits his answer,
Ethelyn’s head is bowed. Where is |
the “yes” which she fancied she was so |
ready to give? Once she looks up as if |
to speak, but the words fail her. As a |
second time she raises her head there is
a sudden interruption.
Around the bend of the avenue come
two men, slowly and silently.
“Only laborers,” says the colonel,
reassuringly, as Ethel starts violently;
but in another moment he leaves her
truders, while she watches him in a
half-dazed manner.
There are foar men now on the broad
path-— walking with steady, slow foot-
steps—carrying something between
them. Bhe presses forward with a
strange, inexplicable curiosity; but
Colonel Arnhold is instantly at her
side.
“Go back, my dear young lady,” he
says, imperatively, though his voice is
agitated and trembling ‘This is not
a sight for your eyes—poor fellow—
thrown from his horse, they tell me —
quite dead, I fear.”
The men are standing still for a
moment, they have come ont of the
shadow, and the moonlight is streaming
down upon them in its fall radiance.
Ethel leans forward, she only sees a
white, white face, terribly still and
the clear lght-then a

Dangerous Encounter With a Whale.
Mr. Joseph Ww. Mead, of Poughkeep-
sie, is now on board the bark Hercules
on a whaling voyage. His ship was off
St. Helena on the 28th of October,
1881, from which place he writes: On
the 6th of June last we raised whales
and got them all in favorable positions,
when we lowered and in a
short time onr second mate struck one.
In a few minutes after the whale
caught the boat in the quarter and com
pletely chewed it up. Mr, Lune, the
chief mate, when he raw our signal
from the ship, sent a boat and had the
crew picked up, took the line and still
had the whale fast, The third
also camo np and went on the whale
three times. The fourth time the whale
caught and mashed his boat into fire-
wood. The steerer was killed, but the
rest of the crew were saved. In the
meantime the boats did not dare to go
near the wounded whale, but fired st it
from a distance with guns, About this
time we received help from a ship
called ths Milton, which sent two boats
to the rescue, for we were in a very
weak condition, Before yon
hardly think it possible, however, the
Milton's boats were both mashed and
their crews swimming in the water,
They were soon rescued by our boats,
The boats hung about the whale until
dark, when we cut the line and let the
huge monster go. The next morning,
however, we saw him again and took
another hold of him, and wubout
o'clock in the afternoon we succeeded
in dispatching him. It was the largest

An Elephant’s Ingenuity,
The new elephant at the fair grounds

and anxiety than a new baby, A nice,
stout bracelet of the chain pattern was
circled around the elephant's fore leg
and clasped together with a thumb.
serow, with a head an ivrch and a half
in diameter. The chain was fastened
to the center post and the thumbscrew
carefully locked. After a few nights
the elephant worked out the problem
of that thumbscrew, and regularly every
day when the keeper appeared in the
morning the Sletnonl was free from
shackles. The keeper could not under-
stand it, und called for Mr. Kalb to ex-
plain the mystery. The two consulted,
examined and watched. It was ascer-
tained that as soon as the chain was put
around the animal's leg and locked, he
deliberately put his other foot on the
end of the chain near the post. That
loosened it on the shackled foot. Then
with his trunk he commenced to un-
screw the thumserew or nut, and in a
very few minutes he would be free and
walking around his ocell.—8t JTouis
