The Chinaman came. “Tell him to dish up dinner in here and sharp,” said the bushranger, pointing to the CHAPTER IV. On the evening of Tuesday, September 8, it a quarter past» six, Penelope Lees opened‘ the double gates of the liilbil homepaddock, i red heels, joined in the chorus, and, at the 3 end, rapped out his applause upon the door- pmels With the buttacnd of his pistol. He had laughed uproariousiy at least once in every verse, and faint echoes from the ver- anda had further encouraged the singer.

Then she walked slowly to the 101188, which, with the flaming west behind it, looked like an unambitious carving in. ebony. , The long bare veranda in front of the store and the dining-room telescoped. as it were. with the Cottage veranda ; and be- fore shc set foot in the former, Pen could see the square screen of sunset at the far end of the latter, and, blotted likcink upon this ‘Scrccn, motionless figures sitting in silence. As the child’s stop rang through the long, empty veranda, some heads turned in the1 other one, but no one spoke. A vague fear seized Pen, their motionless attitudes seem- ed so strange. She hesitated; but the re- actionary impulse followed speedily, and hurried her forward, with faltering steps, into as queer a Quakers’ meeting as could well be imagined. In the sitting-room doorway stooers. Lees, drawn up to her full height, her pale face cold and proud, and bitterly indignant -â€"but quite calm, with the composure that I sometimes, at a crisis, seems to come natura to the last woman you would have expected it of. Robert Ayrton, the overseer, was I folded, and his head thrown forward on his chest. The man who called himself Brown lay in his usual posture in the long chair, and his dark deep eyes were turned upwards with their usual inscrutable stare. Seated on a chair at some little distance from them was a. man whom Pen had never seen before. He wore riding-boots, spurs and breaches, a short neat jacket, and a “ cab- you’ve heard anything about me at all you’ll know that you’re safeâ€"whatever silent contempt; and the outlaw new order- as he had been careful to find out first, had his fist at Tliunderbolt’s mate. 1” Mrs. Lees treated this assurance with cd them all into the sitting-room, which, no second door. and no windows beyond the two that looked out upon the veranda. The young store~kecper was the last to enter, and he turned on the threshold to shake “ You villain l” he muttered savagelyâ€" “ you double-dyed, iniincasurablc’â€"â€" Some swift momentary change in Brown,s faceâ€"to which Thunderbolt for the moment had turned his backâ€"made the young man lstop short. in the thick of his epithets. It set; him thinking, too. And a. little cor.- versation between Thunderbolt and his mate, which now took place, made his thinking run in unexpected grooves. “ lan you walk yet ‘3” asked Thunder- bolt. ' u N0_n “ Where do you sleep, then; and how do they shift you '3” “ I sleep in the barracks ; the gentlemen carry me to and fro morning and evening.” As young Miller, and indeed every one, knew, Brown was not carried to and from the barracks; he hobbled on crutches. Miller, inorcver, had a. shrewd idea. as to where those crutches were at that moment; the creepers grew so thickly at the base of the trellis, and the long chair covered so much ground just there, that they could not quite be seen; but that they were within Brown’s reach, Miller could not doubt. His ideas became almost too much for him; for none but himself had heard the small con- versation between the bushraiiger and his quondam mate, and Miller yearned to ready singer’s tendency is ever to overdo came upon her, for her husband was alive. the andautc, and this one had a particular weakness for rallentando. So the song, which was sung much better than the pre- vious song, took up some little time ; and! when it was over, there was no applause. The leader of the applause was silent. There was not a sound from the veranda. Thunderbolt turned round quickly, al-l most before the last note had diedi away, and uttered a sound that secmedi to come from another throat, and a wildi beast’s, for it was a roar of rage. His former .matcâ€"the helpless man with the broken legâ€"was gone! . ' - Thunderbolt strode out, but only a yard from the door, and stood listening and peer- ing through the darkness. He could see‘ nothing; he could hear nothing. \Vhecling - round, he stalked back into the room, livid , and furious, and clapped his revolver to: young Miller’s ear. “ You young hound! he yelled, “ I’ve] a. mind to blow your brains out I where you sit !

The Revue Scientifique prints a. curious, paper by Professor Joby in which the in- quiry is made, by whom and when was fire i first discovered? Alluding to the fable of f Prometheus it is found to be of Indian ori- i‘ gin. In the Vedas, the god of fire, Agnii (compare with the Latin, Ignis) is concealed l in a secret place whence the god Methar- ishvau forces him out and makes him coni- municate the celestial fire to Manon, the first man. The very name of Prometheus is traceable to the Vedas and calls to min-.1 whisper the gist of it to Ayrton, though, rtlie process employed by the ancient Brali- ' When the destroying waters swept over the works Agnew was swept away in the wrccn. Down the river he floated and thought he was lost. Darkness and the agony of death settled upon him, and he knew no more for a time. When he recovered kind hands were lifting him from a tangle of wreckage and dead bodies, and he was carried to a Red Cross tent. There he lay many days unconscious shattered in mind and body. At last the flickering flame of life began to burn more briskly. Reason came back and the bruised body regained strength. Then he inquired after his wife and child- ren, and for the first time he learned the extent of the disaster. He lived be- cause he could not help it. For along time he went on thus ; then, through the ing quires of a good priest, it was learned that the Pritchards lived in Louisville and with them the lost; wife and children. James Agnew and Elizabeth Agnew are reunited, but they will never forget the Johnstown horror. Peter The Wild Boy. Peter the ll’ildB oy was one of the won- ders of the last century. He was found in the year 1725, in a wood near Hameln, about twentr-five miles from Han0\'er,; walking on is hands and feet, climbing' trees like a squirrel, and feeding on grass 1 and moss, and in the month of November' was conveyed to Hanover by the superin- tendant of the house of correction at Zell, At this time he was supposed to be abo ut thirteen years old, and could not speak. This singular creature was presented to‘ George 1., then at. Hanover, while at dinner.

The professor had talked to the class an hour and a half on the question of the tariff. “ “There is one little point. still unsettled in my mind, professor,” said one of the pup- ils, a thoughtful young man, whose intelli- gent, face and close attention had greatly pleased tlie‘instructor. “It is this: Who finally pays the tariff on imported goodsâ€"- the foreign manufacturer, the importer or the consumer ‘3" The professor sat down profoundly dis- couraged.

His face was half turned to the glowing light, which shone upon a clear gray eye, the half of a ruddy moustache, and a sunburnt cheek and chin ; the other side of the face was necessarily in deep shadow. The man was smoking a pipe â€"â€"the smoke hung in silvery puffs upon the screen of rosy sky at the end of the veranda. Penelope advanced shyly, with her eyes fixed as was only natural, upon the strang- er. Suddenly she stood still and shivercd. The red light glittcred upon something bright and steely that lay in the stranger‘s lapâ€"a revolver. “ Come to me, Pen,” said Mrs. Lees, in a cold mechanical voice. Pen obeyed promptly enough, and slipped an arm around her mother’s waist and nest- led close beside her. And Mrs. Lees nus- wered aloudâ€"in a curiously :cornful tone â€"â€"tlic child’s upward look of terrified iii- quiry: “These men are bush-rangers. “'8 are all in their power l” Pen clung closer to her mother. “ Which men '3" she whispered. “ There's only that man over there with the pistolâ€"is he Thun- derbolt '1’ ’ “ Yes,” said Mrs. Lees, in the same dauntlcss. disdainful tone; “and the one spread out on the floor, his back against the weather-board wall of the Cottage, his arms happily, he had too much sense to attempt this.

The number of the latter was now materially increased. After dinner had been served, Sammy, the Chinese cook, was not: allowed to return to the kitchen. Then the groom had come in to say that a strange black horse was tethered in the pines, and the groom had been detained. Then the butch- er had come to see what had happened to his friend the groom, and the butcher had been detained.
