Near noon, the &th of SoitrnilHT,

were flir-hrd and convulsed, liis plan

indicative of keen anguish.
Turning the rig-lit into Rleeeker
street, lie Nxiii reached a plain three
storr and basement brick house, to
which he cave himself admittance.
"Are you there, Huth ?" he called
from the hall.
A step was heard overhead, follow
ed by the rustling of a dress, and a
voung ladv descended the front stairs.
Despite several lHiint of marked con-

Oh, as to that, the loss of a thing

philosophically, as she sank languidly
into an easy chair, and smoothed out
a fold in her showv morning robe.

"Hid she think that much of Haw-

ed. "I didn'i supp)se "
He hastened to bring a pitcher of
water and bathe the white features,
and then set himself to changing
clenched hands.
CapL Luke Redder was twenty- j
wi'ii'n vonrs if rp n-ith an nrifiimllv
light complexion, which had reddened
with generous living and bronzed
with exposure to wind and sun. His
form was of the average size and
height, and his features of the most
ordinary tyjc. He was singularly
selGsh aud unscrupulous, but of gen
tlemanly manners, lieing well educa
ted and used to good society. His
ability as a navigator was fair for a
man of his age and experience, but he
owed his jtosition as commander of a
fine Australian chpitcr, more to rcs-
lM-ct for his late father and to srmpa-!
thizing favor than to his own merits. "(Jood ! That's fortunate. You

She was tall, thin, and a little inclined
in hr outlines, as in her temper, to
angularity. SheVas not particularly
bright, but she was bold and unscru
pulous, and possessed a fierce energy
which was capable of compensating
in anv emergency for lack of genius.

"I5ut there is a way, Luke, of undo-

Tedder started toward his sisters,
as if electrified,
"Po vou mean it y? Ill never con-

Miss Tedder, arising and planting
uerself in a chair. "There was little

" "Then no one will hear us." j
He drew a chair nearer to that of j
his sister and sat down Wside her.
"What's vour idea ?" he asked, in a

She "was smiling now, with every
sign of antieipated triuniph.

in bis chair, nearcely venturing to
breathe.
"There's just one difficulty," be
muttered "that of getting Hawley

"It can be done," and the lips of
Miss Tedder came together like the

lioprinniiig to fear that the whole pro-j

into a fever, when Redder suddenly
made his apiK-aranee. Oncjrlanco at
his vivid flushes, at his dancing eyes,
at his airy manner, was sufficient.
"We triumph then?" she cried,
throwing herself into his arms for the
first time in years.
"Coninlctelv! I saw mv owners

CHAPTER II.
A tiREAT stEP TAKES.
In the midst of the Antarctic
ocean, a little off the route from New
York to Australia, there lies a large
island named Kerguele'n's Land, or
as Capt. Cook called it the Islam! of
I isolation.
It was discovered just one hun
dred years ago, (in 1772) by the
French naval officer whose name it
bears. It was uninhabited then, and
is to-dar as deserted as ever.
. The smallest wlund 1kv among our
readers can find it upon his map of
the world, about midway between the
south end of Africa und Australia,
well tip toward the South Pole.
I F L a hundred miles in length by
fifty ia breadth, and is coiisetpu ntly j

it lxing nearly cut in two by e couple j
of larire bavs; but these two divi
sions arc unequal in kIzc, the north
ern peninsula lcing much larger than
the southern.
Its coast line is widely broken and
jagged its innumerable gulfs Wing
long and narrow, and its promontor
ies are correspondingly sharp and
slender, reaching out iuto the ocean
like fi iiers.
The IrmIv of the island resembles
that of some huge monster of the an-ti-diluvian

Xo inhabitant is there, uot even a

no horsCjjjo dog not even a snake or

Lone blasted and barren, it looks
like the skeleton of a land that has
jierished.
It may indeed be that Desolation
is the relic tbe surviving fragment
of a continent that went down
here counties ages ago, with hosts of
inhabitants, In some vast convulsion
of nature.
: It lias certainly undergone dread-,
ful visitations; been rent by earth-
quakes pulverized by frosts, lashed
and wasted by fierce tempest.
Its mountains are only of mod
erate height, but are capped eternally
with snow.
Its vegetation is limited to a few
dwarfi'.-h plants, including some
mosses, a sM-cieri of lichen, a coarse
grass, a plant rcH-iiibling u small cab
bag'', and a sort of cress.
lis winds are raw and piercing, its
summers com ana irosiy, us wiuiers
those of the Polar Circles.
1 he interior of the island is occu
pied by immense lggy swamps
where the ground sinks at every step.
The rains in Di-solution arc almost
incessant, in their season, and the is
land is accordingly veined with nu-
. .. ' . c .... I. .....

rock tremendous cavities and gullies.
The only other season than thi.t of
! the rains i- one of almost constant
snow-
The foes of that irhastlv rejrion arc
well worthy of the rains, being of a
cloud-like density, and hovering al
most continually over the whole face
of the island.
The sun of Insolation is usually
hidden by a canopy of lead-colored
clouds, and appears, on the rare occa
sions when it is visible, scarcely
brighter than the moon in other lati
tudes. As to the moon itself, and
the stars, the clouds and fogs randy
permit them to In-tray their existence.
No fi.-h worthy of note, not even
fishes of prey, abound in the adjacent
waters, by reason, perhaps, of their
containing poisonous minerals, or
deadly exhalations from the volcanic
fires lcneatu them.
Yet the dark grim sva inclosing
, Desolation uas done something to re-
pair ttie sterility ot the island.
Tenguins, ducks, gulls, cormorants
and other marine birds arc plentiful
in some of its harbors.
Seals also abound.
Strange and terrible land!
Not a single human lcirig, so far as
is known, has ever- lived there, Pave
as is now to Ik- recorded in these
pages.
Near the middle of a dull afternoon
some eleven weeks later than the date
of the preceding events, the good

A .n. About 18 rears ago one. of
Redford's lofty sons, a five foot ten
pounder, with broad, deep chest and j
rather corpulently inclined, who didn't j
revel in broadcloth and velvet, and!
whose Miiiburned and tanned f;vcej
couldn't be mistaken for that of a fair
lainsel, happened, in the pursuit of
Ins lawtiil calling to visit tlie once
lieautiful mountain town of Somerset. I
Whilst lie stopped, a short time, to!
admire the public and other buildings
of the town, and to inhale the pure
mountain air lnTore driving into the
country again, he was jHjunecd by
the stern officers of law, ami under
the charge of breaking the seventh
commandment, in horse flesh, with no
one to recognize or identify him, and
no one to furnish the necessary bail, ,
was confined to the felon's cell. In a
short time the mvsterv was cleared
and the prisoner set free and sent on
his way rejoicing, but he claims to this
day, that as lid bade adieu to Somer
set, he- told theni that their town
would be burned np, for no people" or
no town could prosper who violated
the rights of any man in that manner.
He did not think the conflagration
would visit them so soon, and is very
sorry that his prophecy has lwen ful
filled, and sympathizes with them in
their mintortune, as much and deei-
lv as anv one. Inquirer.

the effect of manure by the amount
used. In applying tbe common barn
yard manure iu aa tmfornien,cd state,
we get but about one-third the amount
of manure in the same bulk that we
have when used in a decaved state.
Bran for Toultry. It must be
remembered that bulk as well as nu
triment is important in poultry feed.
A distention of the digestive organs
stimulates their activity; andWsidcs,
the hulls of grain serve in the bowels
as vehicles to convey, effect and waste
matter out of the animals system.
Bran contains some of the nutritive
parts of the grain, too, and the very
elements of which eggs are largely
composed. A mixture of half wheat
bran or shorts and half, corn-meal is
better than the latter clear, excepting
when tlie object is fattening, in mak
ing poultry-dough iu winter, never
use water ; but if skim milk con be
afforded, moisten the meal sufficient
ly by using with boiled turnips, beets,
mangotd, or carrots, mashed. These
are too watery alone, but are just what
is needed with meal, and help to give
the diet tlie desirfid bnlkhiess. - !
