AS LYDIA GROWS.
a'hen I.ydla was ill month) old
She was no dear, no (air a treasure.
IVe called her "honey," "beauty," "aweet,"
And "angel." without atlnt or measure.
But nowadays all that .changed.
For Lydia Is three years wiser;
IV e dare not oall her sweet or fair.
We may not tell her how we prlxe her.
for little girls are sometime spoiled
By loving praise too oft repeated.
and, all unlike the dear pet names.
Grow aour-tempered and conceited.
But often when our hearts o'erflow.
And fond words to our Hps are welling
Ptio words thut we may nse no mora
We try to And relief In spelling.
For little Lydla runs no risk
Of growing vain and hlghty-tlghty
From hearing h-o-n-e-y,
Aad "b-e--u. beau. t-y. ty."
We nay: "You a-n-g-e-1,"
"You tittle f-a-l-r-y, ry,"
Ami Lydla beams up at us
W'ith looks of Innocunt inquiry.
But oh. sometimes we're sorrowful
That we may never be endearing,
N'or use the tender, loving names
Which once we used In Lydla's hearing.
And there is still a sadder thought
A cloud thai there Is no dispelling
Twill only be a Utile while
Till Lydla understands our spelling!
-Wilfred E. Knolls, in Youth's Compan
ion. A Night in Devil's Gully
By Owes Hall
IT WAS the edpe of the forest at laat.
I had wandered for hours since I
miiged My companions In the endlese
masei of that gray Tasmanian forest,
till 1 had nlmost made up my mind that,
I should have to spend the nig-ht there.
The idea had been far from cheerful,
and it was with a start of pleased sur
prise that I found myself, almost with
out' any warning-, in the open space once
more. It was just sunset ; the western
sky was still one blaze of crimson
glory, and the long shadows from the
opposite range were Hung darkly across
the lower ground before me.
Not a breath of wind wa stirring.
It was so quiet, indeed, that after the
first minute or two 1 could hear the
rush and murmur of the little stream
which appeared to run through the bot
tom of the vnlley, though rltwvaa in
visible from the pot on which 1 itood.
The sound reminded me that I was
thirsty, aud I made my way with hasty
strides down the slope to where the riv
ulet for in this summer weatherit was
uo more found its way through a
channel almost hidden by a luxuriant
growth of tree ferns nnd shrubs. I
leaped hastily down the bank to tne
bed of pebbles below, and, leaning my
gun against the bank, knelt on the
stones and took a long draught of the
deliriously cool water.
When I got up and looked nround the
first thing I noticed was the strange
way in which a great rock hung beet
ling over the bed of (Tie stream, almost
like a tower that had somehow got
tilted to one side. It was but a few
yards higher up the stream than where
I stood, and my eye cuught sight of a
path ascending the bank which looked
1 if it had been used quite lately. I
felt my spirits rise at once. After all,
my luck was not so bad as I had begun
to fancy. This was a good deal better,
it any rate, than being lost in ihe bush.
The path looked ns if it had been a good
deal used, and even if nobody came
along it that night I had only to wait
for daylight to see the track for myself
and find my way back again to my
friends at Gartmere.
I paused to think what I should do
in the meantime. As far as T could see
there was no particular renson why I
should not make a bed among the
clumps of fern that covered the ground
near Ihe banks of the stream; and yet
omehow 1 didn't like the idea. There
might be snake about, and even water
rats would be disagreeable companions.
The great bowlder looked as if it had a
flat top, and if I could only climb it
I should certninly be out of harm's way
during the night.
A dozen steps brought me to the foot
of the rock, and as I looked up 1 saw
that it was even higher than I had sup
posed. It seemed to rise almost perpen
dicularly on two sides, while on a third
It overhung the bed of the stream; but
on the side nearest me it sloped more
gradually. I wu aVlill looking at it
doubtfully w hem a instant sound from
the foreM, UaStlise caused by tha
Yrrslung of a bvKjWh. decided me to
ar it. I grau St? gun and scram
jAtd up the faceeyf Ac rook. It was not
aWtMHioult to climb an) I had fancied, and
ta two or three miaates I had reached
Ihe top.
"Not such a bad place, either," I said
to myself as I looked around. The-top
was nearly Hat, or, if anything, slightly
hollowed out, and there were tufts of
grass and beds of moss upon it that
promised to make something of a bed.
I was satisfied tbnt it would answer my
purpose, nnd at any rate 1 wasn't like
ly to be disturbed by anything there,
i was tired with my long tramp, but as
yet I didn't feel sleepy, so I took a seat
on the edge of the rock, with my legs
hanging over, and preparvd to enjoy a
smoke.
It was very quiet. As I listened I
couldn't hear a sound except the low
musical gurgle of the stream below me.
Then I suddenly remembered the sound
that had seemed to come from the for
est as I stood hesitating at the foot of
the rock. What could it have been?
It was not loud; but for the silenc
around I should perhaps hardly have
beard it at all. Butit certainly sounded
like the noise of a breaking stick, on
which something had put a henry foot.
There had beeu no wind at all, so it
Must surely have been some living ani
mal. I was just in the state of mind in
which one is inclined to speculate lazily
on passing things of little importance.
It might have been cattle in the forest.
of course, but I had been told that cattle
in Tasmania were kept within fences.
T 11.. J
J
janentkaee afianil of the
ii me kind tfll I bad almost persuaded
nynelf that I heard something move
on the hillside. I strained my eyes ia
(he attempt to see what it was, but the
night was too dark to make out any
thing even a few yards off. At laat I
gave It up. What did it matter, after
ill? It woa most likely only my fancy;
kut even If there were anything there
I was well out of its way on the top
sf my rock. I don't know bow long I
tat there, smoking and dreaming, but
it laat I began to grow sleepy, and be
fore I mustered up energy enough to
find a place to lie down I must have
dored off where I sat,
I woke with a start and rubbed my
ryes, uncertain for Ihe moment where
'. was or what had happened. It was
Ight; only a gray, uncertain light, in
leed, but enough to enable me to see
the shadowy outline of the wooded
range in front, and after the first few
seconds to distinguish vaguely more
iban one of the great bowlders that
stood up here and there along the bot
tom of the little valley, looking like
jhostly sentinels in the dim light. The
moon herself had not yet risen aliovc
the forest range behind me. but the
whole of the eastern sky had already
1 grown white with her coming. I was
looking at the sky over my shoulder,
when I was startled by a sound tbnt
seemed to come from the shadows in i
front. It was not a sound I had ever
beard before, but by an instinct I felt
sure that It came from some living crea
tan. It was not loud enough to be
called a roar; it wan't sharp enough
for n bark, nor shrill enough for a
scream, nor dull enough to be mistaken j
for a grunt; yet in some strange way
It seemed to have something in com- j
mon with each of these. I turned with
a quick start, and instinctively my hand
reached out for my gun. I peered eager
ly into the gray shadows for a glimpse
pf something which might explain the j
sound, but all was vague and misty.
The edge of the forest on the higher
ground loomed out darkly in the re
flected light from Uie sky, but the tree
fertll and low shrubs that marked the
coarse of the atream were blurred and
indistinct In the ghostly mist, and I !
could no longer catch even a glimpse
of the water that gushed and gurgled
below me in the darkness. I glanced I
upward at the brightening sky and
waited.
The light Increased little by little.
With each minute the dark forest lines I
took more and more the shape of Indi
ridnal trees. Then the gray mist that
bung over the low ground began to
grow thin and the heads of the taller
tree ferns and bushes began to nhow
above it. like treetops on a river fiat in
flood time. Again! And this time
Bearer. It was the same strange com
posite sound, and now it made my
nerves creep and my blood run cold.
What could it be? I gripped my gun
tightly with my band and laid it across
my knees. Whatever It was. I would at
least be ready.
It oame Hke magic. Suddenly the
broad face of the moon showed above
the forest ridge. It was four or five
days past the full, indeed, but still its
silvery disk, clear and bright, threw
a flood of light across the valley. I bent
forward eagerly and searched the still
misty hollow with my eyes for the first
sign of the thing that had startled me.
Yes, there it was at last. Along the
bank on the opposite side of the stream
something was moving. Its movements
were leisurely, almost slow, h was not
eo very larger not largor than a fairly
large wild pig, though it was certainly
not a pig. It looked strange and weird
and unnatural. What was the reason ?
The chief thing seemed to be its color.
It was blnck so densely, absolutely,
intensely black that it seemed to me
nt the moment aa if I had never seen
anything really black before. What
could it be? I had lived all my life on
the neighboring continent of Australia,
and I had seen and hunted most of the
wild nnimals there. I had chased kan
garoos on horseback and stalked them
on foot. I had shot wallabies and ban
dicoots by the score, and more than
once, when I couldn't help it, I had
killed on iguana. 1 had shot native
bears, and once in northern Queensland
I had killed a large python. But what
was this? I had never seen or even
fancied a creature like It. What could
It be?
Whatever it was, it didn't hurry itself.
Slowly and deliberately It came down
the bank to the stream, and I could see
it dimly in the shadow a blacker spot,
in the darkness stoop and drin!,. It
seemed to be a long time nboill It, but
it moved at Ins'
co:;,nio across.
I watched il as i: waded slowly and de
liberately through the water and
climbed the bank on my side of the
stream. Then it stood still, and it
seemed to stare up at me as I sat in
the moonlight. Hy this time the moon
shine was falling full upon me, and I
felt certain he was looking at me with
a strange, questioning gaze. Suddenly
he raised his head and repeated the cry
I had heard before. Now that I saw
him. I felt that it was exactly the cry
I should have expected from bim so
strange, so weird, so savage.
It was by an impulse rather than the I
result of thought that I did it. A cu
rlooa feeling of repulsion and antag
Oniam which I could not have reason- I
ably explained prompted the act. Some- :
tiling in his appearance, something in
that savage cry, may have led to it, but j
at least I felt that I was in the presence I
of an enemy. I raised the gun to my ,
shoulder; I covered bim deliberately; I
Brad. Even in the very act I fancied I
his eyes fixed roe with a fierce stare of 1
hatred. I could have sworn he was look
ing me in the face at the moment. 1 I
fired, nnd for several seconds I lost :
sight of him in the smoke, but I knew
I hadn't missed my aim. A cry, wilder,
stranger, more savage than before, fol
lowed the report of the gun. And
yea, it waa answered. Not one only,
but half a dozen cries, each like an
echo of the first, rang out a weird re
ply. Then I knew what it waa a devil.
Strange aa it appear to me now in
looking back. I had up to that moment
utterly forgotten the Tasmanian deril.
1 bad supposed the creature to be ex
tinct, indeed, but I might have remem
bered the tales I had often heard as a
boy of its demon blackness, its strange
cries, and, above all. its temper of in
satiable revenge.
Aa the smoke cleared away I saw him
again. He was rolling on the ground,
trying lo tear himself savagely with
fierce white teeth that glistened in the
moonlight, 'i hen he gave another of
those fiendish cries, and again there
came the answering echoes. He strug
glad to his feet, and his eyea seemed 1
to look for me with savage, cunning i
glances. I watched him as if I hud been
fascinated, and saw him suddenly stum
ble ulong the bank towards my rock.
He cume slowly and painfully, but he
reached the foot of the great bowlder
ut last. I put my hand hastily to my
belt and drew out a cartridge it was
one of less than a dozen that were left
and rose slowly to my knees. As I did
so 1 remembered that my cartridges
bad been intended only for shooting
birds, nnd were certainly not meant for
game like this.
He gave another cry. imd again the I
echoes came from far and near. He had
reared himself up and put his feet on
Ibe sloping face of the rock, while all
the time his eyes seemed to be fixed on
mine with looks of fiendish malignity.
Suddenly there was a cry close behind
him. and. as if encouraged by the sound,
he made what appeared to be a des
perate effort, and the next moment he
w as scrambling, rolling or climbing up
the face of the rock with a motion that
was quite indescribable in its clumsy
eagerness. As he did so another black
figure appeared at the bottom, and 1
heard a splash as a third began to wade
the stream. It was growing serious in
deed. I waited until he had got within
a few feet of me, and then 1 fired. He
gave a snarling bowl and rolled to the
bottom.
When the smoke cleared I could see
hitu on the ground, but the other had
begun to climb in his place. Slowly,
carefully, doggedly he came on, ns if
his one object in existence was to reach
me. I waited till he got near the top
and then fired. He rolled half way
down, atul then he seemed to cling to
the rock and stop. Then he began to
cravil up again, gnashing his teeth and
snapping fiercely at the places where
the shot had wounded him. I had to
lire ugain, this time almost into his face,
before he rolled down again. And so
it went on, with a sameness thut grew
more and more horrible, with a peri
sistency which seemed to me nothing
less than diabolical. One by one they
came in answer to the cries of the
wounded; one by one they attempted to
storm the rock, with the same slow, des
perate, untiring energy. I used up my
cartridges, and yet they came. I
clubbed my gun and felled them one
by one. It was like the most horrible
of nightmare dreams. No sooner did
one disappear than another took his
place, nattered, bleeding, hardly able
lo crawl, still they crept op, one by
one.
I seemed to myself to have stood there
for hours. My head had grown dizzy,
my arm had become w eak and numbed.
I could scarcely raise the gun to strike,
and everything seemed to sway and
quiver before my eyes. The attacks had
gradually become more rare, but I
think the strain of watching for them
was more terrible than ever. A burn
ing thirst, too, had begun to creep over
nie, and a sense of horror which I could
hardly resist. It seemed long since 1
had struck the last blow, but I didn't
dare for u single moment to relax my
watchfulness. Suddenly ll appeared
to be within a yard of my foot there
was a black face, with fiendisli eyes that
giramed and great white teeth that
glistened in the moonlight. With u
sudden, desperate effort I heaved up
the gun nnd struck at it. I thought the
creature answered the blow with a dia
bolical laugh; and that was tbe last
thought of which I was conscious.
Something cool fell on my cheeks and
I opened my eyes. It was Tom Hoyd's
anxious fnce that was bending over me;
it was his hand that wus sprinkling wa
ter on me.
Tom," I gasped "Tom, where are
they?"
Tom laughed. "The dfvttl. you
mean? Oh, they're all about an :; ;.'
the scrub. I fancy you've cleared Devil's
(lully for good and all."
Note. Tbe animal known in Aus
tralasia as the Tasmanian devil is one
of the only two survivors of what must
at one time have been a widely distrib
uted class of animals, to judge from the
fossil remains already found in many
parts of Australia. Like nearly every
mammalian quadruped of the conti
nent, the devil is a marsupial ; but, w ith
the solitary exception of the so called
Tasmanian wolf, he Is the only surviv
ing marsupial animal that is carniv
orous, and may be regarded ns a beast
of prey. The devil is now very scarce,
and will soon be extinct; but in the
early convict days of the Island when
Tasmania, then called Van Pieman's
land, was the penal settlement for the
worst class of Ilritish convicts tbey
were plentiful, and many gbastly sto
ries were afloat of their attacks upon
escaped convicts who had taken to the
bush. It is believed that tbe name of
devil wu bestowed on tbe animal by
the convicts, who had learned to look
upon them with almost superstitious
fear, partly in consequence of their ap
pearance, but still more owing to their
untiring perseverance in following up
an enemy to the last with what looked
like undying hatred. No specimen has
ever been found on the continent of
Austrnlra. T.ippincott's Magazine.

man. A year or so ago he become much
intereatcd in a girl a St. Leula girl
and paid her a lot of attention. She
was bright, and unexpected, and pret
ty. One night he took her to a con
cert. As slut came into tiie parlor with
her jacket on one of the buttons waa
hanging by a thread. He ndmired her
ami waa observant of everything about
her and he wished she had sewed it on.
Hut she wo bright and interesting and
he forgot it, and before they reached
home he had asked if be might walk
wth her to church the next Sunday.
When, he saw her coma into the parlor
on Sunday with the jacket button atill
by the thread he didn't' like it, and he
was relieved when, after service, the
jacket being fastened again, the but
ton dropped quite off. She laughed
about It aud said she had meant to
tix It before nnd now she) must do so.
He then asked her to go to the theater
with h I iu oil' Wed iH'sdny evening. When
that occasion' came there again was the
jacket minus the button. He was dis
gusted. It was too bad that a pretty,
sweet girl should lie so careleaa. Out
before, they reached home that evening
from the theater she had promised to
marry him. And he is going to morry
her to-night, too."
"None of your stories are equal to
one my grandfather ueeA to tell," re
marked another member of the circle.
"It was about a man who waa deeply
in love with a beautiful girl, but had
been told she possessed a high temper.
So he thought he would test her, and
one day when she was wearing an es
pecially daimty gown he tipped a glass
of wine over it, ruining it. She said it
was of no consequence, thatheahould
no? trouble himself nbout it foramo
inent, und went and changed it. When
she came back he asked her to raorry
bim. After they were married he told
her about the test, and that he never
had seen such amiability. 'O,' she an
swered, 'you didn't know that I wen
upstairs and bit a piece out of the
marble mantel.' " Chicago Tribune.
Onr on Old Man.
He was the son of a worthy citizen,
anil had just returned from college.
1 1 is father was a brusnjue, matter-of-fact
man. who hod no liking for anything
pronounced, and ho noticed with sor
row that his son returned with the
latest thing in collars, and various
stlier insignia of fashion. The old gen
tleman surveyed him critically, when
he appeared in his office, and then
blurted out:
"Yonng man, you look like an idiot!"
Just at that moment, and before the
young man had time to makeu fitting
reply, a friend walked in.
"Why. halloa, Billy! Have you re
sumed ?" he asked. "Dear me. how
much you resemble your father!"
"So he has been telling me," replied
Billy.
And from that doy to this the old
rreatleman has had no fault tofird with
his eon. Chicago Journal.
