The two frienJs, as they thus stood for
a moment, hanj locked in hanJ, presen
ted a powerful contrast. One light and
the tither dark; c.ne whrwe sunny blue
eye, now beaming with haf-pines, were
ever tiie index to the loyal, generous
heart. The otiier, whove dark depth
served but to conceal the workings of the
soul. Six months befoie they Itad gtarteil
toother to make the tonrof Karaps, anj
on the steamer had met Mr. Dinsmore
and hi. family on a pleasure tour like
themselves. The discovery of many mu
tual friends soon ripened their acquaint
ance into friendship, wich, in two hearts
at least, 9jin developed into love, until,
having met at various times in their
w anderings in the valleys of Switzeiland,
Hal Cl;nlon won front the girl he loved
the promise to become his wife a prom
ise tj wliich her parents readily gave
their seal, and nhieii. jo his first glad
eagerness, the young mm con Tided to his
friend.
For an hocr he rattled on of alt his g ty
hopeand anticipations, the plans tipon
which they had already dei'idel, too full
of his own hapoim-ss to note how strange
and apathetic was bis listener. Nwt until
the door hail closed at last upon him,
with the echo of his bright good-night
tinging through the room, and the sound
of his retreating footsteps diel along the
ball, did Uie other's eelf-eomntand for
sake him. Then he started to his feet as
a stag brought to bay, the drops upon
his forehead showing the torture to
which he liad been snbj..Tted.
" And he his won her with his boyish,
handsome face curse him ! Won her
w hose one kiss or smile I would gladly
have purchased with my life. Bat the
race is not run yet, the goal is not yet
reached. Yet he comes to me to con
gratulate him! Oh, bitter mockery of
fate !"
The words seemed wrung from him one
by one as lie nttered them aloud in he
silence of the nijjht, pacing op an 1 down
the narrow confines of his chamber.
"Fool blind fool that be is, never to
have penetrated my secret ; and blinder
I, that in my madness I failed to see lie
had conquered. iComjuered, do I say ?
Ij there, then, no hope?" and sinking
once more in his chair, and bnryiag his
face in his hands, he sat mute and mo
tionless until the morning sun streamed
full into the room.
"It's hard luck, Neil, that we should
have been trapped like this. I would
not tare so much it it weredoot that I
knew F.tlie would be anxious," said Hal
Clinton to his friend, as they sat oppos''
each other, on ruie stjns in a cave so
dark neither eouid see the other's
face.
A few days before and they had start
ed cut on an expedition np the moun
tains. Laughing at the warnings they had
received that Italian brigands had ac
costed and robbed some travelers but a
short time previously, only to be met by
the bold marauders and commanded to
halt, their few articles of jewelry ruth
lessly taken from them, and themselves
held as prisoners until the ransom the
banditti felt sure they could command
hail been paid them ; a council of war
was now being held as tot he amount,
and while yet Hai was sneaking, the
chief appeared before thetn.
"Wntleuien," he said and his voice
sounded low and musical " we have de
termined upon twenty thousand scudi
as the sum for your ransom. I dare not
semi one of ray men to communicate
with your people. You, I believe, are

here with the money la his possets-ion,
both shall go forth free ; if he fail, then
his companion dies at daybreak, shot
through the heart. Yoa may draw lots
which may go and which stay."
In silence tle yoong wten took from
his hand the slips of paper held out to
tliern. Ha! siill was to remain the pris
oner. If all right, old fellow," he said,
grasping Xed F-siuoud's band. " Its only
a week's solitude. I've had it many a
time on a lonely hunting expedition, and
my worst anxiety will be dissipated w hen
I know that KtHe's fear are set at rest.
There'll be no trouble abtut the money.
You can easily raise that ; and I dare say
I'll find these fellows jolly enough com
panions in the meantime. Tell my dar
ling how I long to pre her. That is ail.
tiood-bye, Good-bye, and may God bless
you."
" Shot through the heart."
It was this sentence w kich rang in Neil
Esmond's ears.
" IS will be, after all, rut a moment.
He w ill think some accident has overta
ken me. If I save hint do I not doom
myself to torture, which is to that one
moment's facing the fatal muskets as Tan
talus to Paradise? I will tell tu-r he is al
ready Head, and rhapsv consoling her
grief, I may teach her tha lesson 6he nev
er shall unlearn."
Cut no suspicion of hope or happiness
within his heart rested on the white, im-pa-ive
face with which he awaited his
friend's betrothed. With qaivriug voice,
he told his sad story ; how one was lost,
the other saved, and he, that other, had
hastened to her to unburden himself of
his sad duty.
I would it had been otherwise, Miss
Edie," be said at la-st, as the girl's pallid
fa-je, with eyes as yet unblessed by tears,
was lifted to his, strained with agony;
then silent, tearless, with boweu head,
she passed out of his sight, while some
where from the shadow a voice seemed
to say :
" On your brow you bare the brand of
Cainl Murderer!"
j And starting as though expecting tofee
Uie bright, boyish face which last smiled
j on him, now confront and bid him an-
swer fur his treachery, he titstily left the
j room.
I Jmx days and nights, bat the messenger
j had not yet returned. The chiefs face
j l.oked grave as his eye swe't the distant
! hills. There had been ample time, but
j somehow the thought of ordering bullet
j through the heart of his young prisoner,
i who had borne his lot so cheerily, in
w hom, spite of his own lawless life, he
had recognised some traits such as were
planted in his own breast, smote him
with a keen sense of pain. But his word
had gone forth. The example must be
made. At daybreak, unless the messen-
I ger returned, the execution must take
place. Hut when the sun had sunk to
rest the scout sent forth returned alone.
The prisoner, then, mu-jt die. It was as
though the bullet bait already found its
way to his heart w hen he realized the
wan whom he had trusted had tieserted
him. t ae hope was left him. lie asked
ta be brought into the presence of the
chief and left alone with him.
" My friend, the man I trusted, has not

lips of one to whom I have pledged my
troth my kiss and blessing, and I swear
to you by the love I bear her to return

For a moment there was si'em-e. With

chief answered :

"Elite, I did all that I could. Will you
not think of others in yonr grief?" and
Ned Esmond's voice sank aliinett to a

testified to her kiss.
"Can I ever forget you were his friend
or shared his love V she auswered. "Oh,

la the distant shadow a hill tigur stood,
a figure which, springing forward, receiv

white and stern, confronting the cower
ing man.
"Villain! Traitor T he said, in low,
scathing accents, while the man slunk
from his presence, knowing God had not
lain the sin of murder, in the world's
sight, at his door, though none the less
should be have it to answer at the judg
ment bar.
"My own! my darlingr were the
words which raised her at last to con
sciousness, and, as in a dream, she listen
ed to all that had happened, while she,
i.l turn, exposed ail of the treachery of
the man whom he ha It hough t his friend.
Cut when she learned that death indeed
must separate them, that he had pledged
Lis word to return, she clung sobbing to
his breast, with prayers and leant that he
ebould break so rash a vow. On her
senseless lijw he pressed at last his part
ing kiss, nor witii one backward glance
set his face to his journey's end, his
promised price wiiiiiu his hand, llut as
he entered the road, where his guide was
to await hiui, the mountain chief sUnsi

" I have watched yon," he said. " Ha 1

knew yoa would not. I will not accept
your ransom. I give you your life. Go
back to the girl you love, and remember
that even in the breasts of lawless men
honor does not always perish."
The next morning the little town was
ablaxe with the fact that a uiunler had
been committed at their very doors. The
banditti had penetrated to their very
midst, and sent a stiilctto through Ned
Esmond's heart. " Treachery for treach
ery," was their creed. They had aveng
ed it. But as Effie hears the news, cling
ing close to her loyal lover's breast, while
she shudders 'at the fearful retribution
which 60 soon has overtaken the traitor,
she prays to be forgiven for the thanks

MAY 22. 1889.
A Lucrative Profession.
A Hong Kong journal gives an account
of a Japanese who has lately set up in
that country as a professional taltooer of
piclnresand designs on the body. In a
room decorated with fans, banging pic
tures and scrolls, the visitor or patient is
received. la a conspicuous place is hu eg
a notice in the following wonts : " I do
not businesB if fuddled." Samplj books
are first produced for inspection and se
lection ; they are filled with colored
drawings of dragons, birds, injects and
scenes comic and set kus. At the bottom
is written Uie cost of tattooing each, the
price varying from about twelve shillings
for three buttettlies to an elaborate group
for J0.
The operator himself was tattooed all
over his body with gronps of bright flow
ers here, the conventional Japanese girl's
head there, a female figure with long,
ilow ing robes wound round one arm from
the shoulder to the w rist, w hile on the
other was a dray in with every scale care
fully shaded. On the breast was a pic
ture of the god of storms, with inscrip
tions in Japanese characters, and similar
representations all over the body, the
bands aione being free. The apjnratus
consists merely of a small box coutaining
a slab of black Chinese ink, some Vermil
lion and dark red powders and a drawer
full of penholders, on the ends of which
w ere fixed tiny bunches of needles, num
bering from three to fifty. The customer
chooses his design fnjm the pattern
books, the operator draws it oo the m-X
desired, and then, with a large bunch of
needles for the heavy black and a small
one for the fine lines, the colors are
punctured in. So blood is drawn, and
the ptiin is very slight.
A drpgon, which would lie tat!ooed for
A 4, would take five hours, on account of
tiie number of scales. The part is then
rublied w ith vaseline to allay the inflam
mation, and in a day or two the skin
would come off. After that the marks
would be indelible. The Hong Kong op
erator taitooed the arm of an English
Prince, and in Kioto was engaged for a
w hole month reproducing on the ttuuk
and limbs of an Engl ish peer a series of
scenes fpjtn J ipanese history. For this
he was paid about 100. lie has also
tattooed English ladies, and seems to be
especially proud of one picture, which
was a tiny fan about the size of a half
penny, on which was a complete land
scape, with figures well defined. His
income from tattooing in Hong Kong is
about 1.VH) per annum.
Didn't Minathe Chances.
As we got dow n in the neighborhood
of Cape llatteras it came on to blow gnat
gins, and the seaa were tremendous.
The steamer pitched and tossvd and roll
ed, in a way to frighten everybody, and
about uiid-aAeriHion a sleek looking
young man pitched across the cabin to
the sofa on which I was sitting and
anted :
"Do you think we can pull through?"
"It's doubtful."
"( Jood chance of going dow n, eh ?"
"Best in the world."
"Well, I have a few dollars in counter
feit money with me some that was pass
edon and I guess I'll throw ;t over
board." He pitched serosa to his stateroom and
j ptobably got rid of it. In ubont half an
hour he came for me again and asked :
I "What do you think of it now T"
J "She seems to lie laboring heavily, and
I I'm expecting to hear that she has sprung
a leak.
"Is that so? I have two or three parks
of carls in my valise. That miiriit count
against me in the otiier world, and I
guess I'll heave 'em out."
He was gone aiiout a qiarter of an
hour this time, and as he staggered np to
the sofa again lh,e steamer almost st.od
on end.
'"It's growing worse, isn't it?" he in
ouired. "Much worse.'
"And we ought to prepare for death?"
"We had."
"I I believe I have two or thrw
gns bonds w ith uie belonging to a friend
who sometime! works a confidence rack
et. I iru ess they'll have to go overboard
too."
While he was gone I shifted my posi
tion, and it was half an honr before he
found me again. The steamer was roll
ing and pitching, and he was very white
as he inquired :
"What are the chances now 7"
"One in a million."
I did not see him again until we were
nearing Wilmington. Theu I caught
him trying Ut work the three card moute
racket on a iuth Carolina planter, and
I eatled him aside :
"You seem to have recovered all your
lost cheek, my frieud."
"I have yes."
"While yon thought there was danger
of our g inj down, yoa were very peni
tent." "Just so."
"I thought you threw overboanl every
thing belonging to yonr profession T'
"Not quite. I was going .to, but when
yoa said we hail one chance in a million,
I took it, and saved monte. and if you'll
let me a'one I'll pull fifty dollars out of
that old cottonseed before we make the
wharf." -V. F. San.
A lady rushed breathlessly into the
postoftice and np to the stamp window.
"Have yoa a sale of stamps to-day ?" she
I aske! exriteiily.
"We have a sale of stamps every day
in the wee' and for one hour on Sunday,
answered the stamp man, pushing his
hat back a little further on his head.
"But I heard yon had a special sale to
day, and that I could buy them at the
rate of 1.5 two-cent stamps for one cent
and a ipiarter."
"So yon ran, ma'am," said the stamp
man. -ohnly. "Yoa can alwavs buy 11
two-rent stamps for one cent and a quar
ter of a dollar!"
She gave him one half-dazed look,
turned and ran out of the jioetofUce. The
stamp man feels sure that it was a put
up job by ber husband, and that she hur
ried home to get even.

minde.1 man. A gentleman living in
the suburbs wont in a store on Walnut
street to make a few pisrcLasea. The only
light in the store was a candle standin;
on therounter near the money drawer.
After making hi purchases he handed
the proprietor a till, and after handing
him ihe change the proprietor walked to
the rear of the store to arrange Some-
thing, when suddenly he was .eft in the
dark. He started toward the counter,
and, groping around it. found, not the ;
candle, but the change. It stni-.k him j
then that probably the man in a tit of1
absent mindedness, had taken ihe candle
instead of his charge. Hestirt.-l out;
