"My dog I" she panted. "My dog, Cull ! I "ray save him.

My six feet of authority, armed with a stout stick, speedily dispersed tha dog's assailants. They retreated iq confusion, employing language sd bod as to be fortunately unintelligible to my damsel in distress, who was by this time kneeling beside hor precious dog, hugging him effusively, and try to wipe away the blood from an in lured lep. ' The dog really had been a good deal knocked about, although I have no. doubt he richly deserved it ; he nowj feeling himself an object of sympa luetic interest, sat down and refused t move any fnrther. I knew something about dogs and speedily bound up his paw with my own handkerchief and that of his mis trese, which was simply marked Ella.- Our faces were very close together over the dog's leg, and one of her tears rplashad on to the back of my hand. Ella blushed, laughed and apologized. I never aaw a lovelier blush or heard sweeter laugh in my life. Seeing that the beast was resolved sot to walk. I carried him. ' He was a tremendous weight and fldgetted abominably.

The maid brought up tho rear, giggling a good deal, but as sh' constantly dragged be hind to stare uC soldiers, her presence did not in any way hamper us. The accident took place near the White Lodge, and wo had to pass out by the Star and Garter gates. Long before wo reached them I was madly in love with Ella, and had already in formed her that this was the happiest hour of my life, when to my dismay I laarnod that she was Miss ' Ella Barr ington, eldest daughter of "Barring Ion's Starch," as we called him at the Sank, where he lodged a portion of the wealth ho had acquired by the manu- hvoture of that commodity. Barrington Starch lived ia a bread- . sew stucco palaee he had built for him- 1 Jf aw SkbraA Sill: aLitb Inongn fie na not exactly a Irifl' Middlewick, I could never understand how he could be the -father of so re fined and lovely and fairy-like a bo ing as Ella. I Before the gates of Barrington Hall, ' aa be called his bricks and mortar mon-1 etroeity, we paused. We were friends, dear old friends, by this time. I knew that she was nineteen, and that she loved nothing in the world so much as he bull terrier pup, except her father and her brother Bob, and she knew every detail of my uneventful life of seves and twenty summers. She asked me to come in; papa would want to thank me, she said. I found papa genial enough, albsi. somewhat condescending. "The young man from the bank," I afterward found he called me, although my name, Ernest Wynter, was known to him. and he himself had begun life as a mill hand at six shillings a week. Still J was allowed to visit at Barrington Hal! and to play tennis with the girls, ani) every day I grew more abjectly in lov with Ella, whose unaffected charm of manner no parvenu surroundings couW impair. Of course I'dared not speak of m fove to her. In my position that was out of the question. I could only try to kiss the dog's head just alter ner lovely lips had rested there, and to detain her hand as long as possible is greeting and parting from her.

The look with which she aceom- pnnied her last words was a revelation. She rrrew very red the next moment, and began rapidly talking of something else, while I like a fool, stood and stared at her until her wretched young broth it Bob came bawling down tha garden after her, and so took my chance of speaking from me. For the rest of the afternoon Elh avoided me, and, cursing my stupidity, 1 went home and wrote ner the follow- ing letter : Mr Dear Miss Barrisotox : I don't knoa Whether VOU Will think me the TflOSt COn- celled ass alive for supposing that a fe words of yours to-day eneouraged m TOu what I meant to keen secret th since I first met you. three months ago, have been so ma.lly in love with you that 1 can think of nothing else.

A Nataral Flying Machine. There is a tree growing on the sampus at the University of Bochester that produces a natural flying ma chine." said a citizen to-day. "I shanced to be passing it yesterday and fcjy attention was attracted by what seemed at first to be a grasshopper and a spider in conflict in the air. I watched the object, saw it rise and fall and rise aeain and finally settle in the grass. Curiosity led mo to follow and examine it, and instead of finding either a grasshopper, spider or any living thing, I was astonished to dis cover the most perfect natural, but in animate flying machine I ever saw. It was a leaf oblong in outline about three inches in length and half an inch in width. From a point at its center film two inches long hung down, carrying at its lower extremity a ennnter-weieht or pendulum. that erved to keep the plane of the leaf in the right relation to the air for travel ing. - The leaf was bent at surh an sngle as you will find in the boome rang, and the whole formed a flying machine which worked perfectly, for when I threw it in the air it began to whirl and actually sailed away on the breere, rising until it went out of light. When it had disappeared I was orry for letting it go, but at once made a sketch of it, not knowing that there were innumerable specimens of the curiosity close at hand. While I was lamenting the loss of my toy I looked at the ground and found sev eral imperfect copies of the one that had flown. Then it dawned npon me thai the formation was a device of nature to spread the seed of tbe tree tnd that the bulb at the extremity of the film waa the seed of the tree, which I suppose is well known to ar boriculturists. I observed that tlie specimens found near the tree were not as symmetrical as the one that first drew my attention and finally left me so unceremoniously. The latter went away with the ease of a bird and may be flying still. It worked so well that some ingenious person might find in its lines the elements of a dovice that could be made artificially and perhaps assist in solving the problem of a fly ing machine.

A little party of Americans have paid a visit to the Sultan of Johore, and one of their number has given an account of their expedition from Singapore, which presents some pict uresque details. The hospitable Sultan 6ent out his State barge, manned with Malays In canary-colored suits, to meet them, and at the landing pier they were received by the Illustrious Secretary of the Sultan," whose title and name are 'Dato (Lord) Abdull Rahman." He is a Commander of the English Order of Saint George and Saint Michael, and is stated to speak Malay, Chloese, English, French, and Ger man with equal fluency. The Sultan, who is said to have inherited tho other day from the late Sultana "a million and a half of this world's roods." appears from this narrative to be a prosperous person. The hall, approached by a marble reception in which the company were entertained at a ban iuet, is described as 150 fect in length. Every article of the service for seventy persons and sixteen courses was of go!d, and one course was served on "the celebrated EUenborouirh plate." At the table tho Sultan re marked, "We are all temperance folk In this Mohammedan country. See, all 7 drink Is pineapple Juice." His guests gazed about the table . and fouud that the foreigners were tbe only persons who w re drinking I wines provided for them. It is a : noteworthy fact that the subjects of this Malay Sultan, of the Sultan : State, are principally Chinese.

His trionds stood or sat about the few small stores in the village of ( Borodino and dlscoasod his sal eondftion. : Applebeo was a carponder, and a good one too, bat since his strange malady overtook , him he had not shown any dlspotton to do any work. Life had lost its charms for him, , he became a misanthrope and lost In every- , thing. His frionds advLsnd him an 1 tho lo- eal doctors triod tholr skill on him but it wm . of no avail. Although they no doubt dia?- nosod his case correctly, ho grow wor tespite their efforts. But ho recovered and it has made suca a stir In the small town that a News reporter was sont out to Borodino to investigate. II i drove over and found Mr. Appl-bo hard at work on tho rojf of i hoii! li was building. "Well, it was just this way," bogna ts arpenter, who Is a good-looking man of about fifty summers.

Several of Mr. Applobee's neighbors were jeen by the reKrter and tbey In turn ex pressed their confidence in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills after s.lng the wonderful change they bad wrought on him.

Mexico keeps a wary eye on the af fairs of men, public and private. The motives of every public man in Mexico are not only perfectly well known to the Government, but every visitor la subject to scrutiny. It was President Diaz who first established the chnin of secrecy that now holds all the people In Its links. Every now and then one will be surprised to see a body of Mcx-U.-an roops hurried off tn some remote pluutf '. a lur-oll' feiuic. None will know the reason, but the fact will soon become known that the Government has prevented an embryo revolution from gaining strength and force. A considerable number of Americans re siding in Mexico do so because the law will make It unpleasant for them Id their native places. The Mexican se cret service has the private record of each of these, and If any of theru show too much activity In Mexican affairs there Is an arrest; the United Stntef authorities are notified, and extradltior f the prisoner follows. MR. GUERIN'S BEARD. It Besesoblea that of tbe Prince of Walea Too Closely to Be Popular. It Is said at the city hall that Assist ant Corporation Counsel Guerin Is about to advertise for proposals for. cutting his beard and keeping his mus ache in order. The Idea was uncon sciously given Mr. Guerin by Mr. Ilu bens. The latter visited Europe some few months ago, and while there took note of various things. "You may havo noticed In Emperor William's pic tures," remarked Mr. Rubens to a par ty of friends, Mr. Guerin being of the number, "that his mustache is yearly becoming of a more decided and pro nounced character. The ends are like a bunch of wires. As his mustache becomes more characteristic William becomes more decided. When h grows a 'schnurrbarf liko BIsmarck'i Germany won't hold him." "What does he do to stiffen his mus tachel" Inquired Mr. Guerin, In nn os tenaibly careless way. "Every morning he Is visited by a 'barber who curls and combs It and waxes It and massages and manicures It," replied Mr. Rubens. "There ia nothing too good for the Emperor's mustache, for he has a kind of Sam sonlan superstition about it He feels that his reputation as a war lord de pends npon It" Mr. Guerin Is himself In training foi the job of war lord himself in his ward, and is doing well. Borne dissat isfaction has been expressed, and even revolt threatened, on the part ot the Wolfe Tone Club on account of Mr. Guerln'a beard, which closely resem bles that of the Trlnce of Wales in point ot color and cat In the Inter ests of harmony, which is also strength, Mr. Guerin, therefore, will adopt th Kaiser Wllhelm style of facial adorn Went, and here la a chance for a bar er. Chicago Pos ' f FOR ALL THE ILLS THAT ST. JflbOBS OIL 4lS CURB IS KING; A Singular Discovery. ' James Smithers, an English resident otHaliburton, Ontario, while out hunt ing with a party of visitors from the old country recently, met with a Sin gular adventure, which also led , to as singular a discovery. A band of moose, the first seen this far south for many years, had been driven down by the scouts of the expedition, and it was while in full chase of these that the others swept on, leaving Smithers to follow. Wishing to overtake them as soon as possible he took a short cut across the country, and was astonished all at once to find himself sinking. He fell about six feet, but owing to the descent ol the loose earth with him sustained no injury. He was amazed to find the bottom of the pit composed of solid ico of a brackish taste and evidently of untold age. Walking about tho pit Bmithers made out an object protrud ing from the icy foundation, and with his short hunting axe cut away the surrounding material until he saw that f.he object was a human hand holding U spear. . Fnrther excavation revealed the en tire figure of a man dead in fur gar jnents and perfectly preserved by his rold bed. Near at hand were also the (emains of the deer, which the hunter tad doubtlessly lost his life in pursu ing to this treacherous spot. The frozen man was an Indian of noble I mild and wore a chief's amnlet about !iis neck. That he died by cold was to e plainly seen by his expression, fvhich was tho placid on of persons Who die thus. The skin of his face and hands were flrawn and like parchment, but that protected by his clothing was firm and natural, as if death had come within the air. When found by his friends (Smithers was trying to reinter the corpse in order to preserve it, but the sction of the air had already begun and the body soon wasted away in rapid dissolution. It is impossible to say how long it had lain buried in tbe natural ice honss perhaps before Henry Hudson sailed the bay to the East ; perhaps when Christianity was dawning on earth or the pyramids in course of construction. Squaring Accounts.
