his. Once moro she implored Mm
with a ery agony of entroaty bujt he
was inexorable; thore was only 'one

thought ojf mak ing a clean breast to
his father. But that very nigljt at
dinner the Adtn iral had seemed out of
spits and had i arkly hinted at ajn un-
lucky speculation into which hp had
been betrayed. Leo thought of his
young brothers and sisters. Were they
to be sacrificed to I his criminal
folly? Ah! he could call it by its right
name now. Ho and Stella sat with
clasped hands a id sorrowful eyes; they
had never loved each other as they did
now. Then in the night as shje lay
half distraught with her trouble and
Leo's .the instinct of self-sacrifice
which is in ever; good woman's nature
which has made heroines and martyr?
of them go oftien. inspired her; and
with shuJderings and tremblings she
resolved to save Leo even at the cost
of her own misery and despair. With-
out a word or hint to Leq. she
wrote Standish that if he would not
have pity on jier. knowing how she
felt toward him she must needs accept
his cruel termp since she loved her
cousin more tljan aught else in the
world. Would lie. she wondered still
want to roan' ller after. that?
He took her n't her word with joy
and tfiumphl lie would knrtw how to
guard her againVt Leo against every
man in Christendom: and he had all
the fatuity comtnon to lovers who be-
lieve they canmako a woman love
them. Kven then Stella had hope that
she would be alrlo to creepAmt of her
promise throxigh some loophole; but
Standish- was far too clever for that. .
Leo had obtained a week's delay for
the payment of his Goodwood losses.
Before Standlsli handed over Stel-
la's purcbase-money she must be
his. She must go through the form
of marriage with him at n registry
office. Ho would then leave her
free for two muntlrs. during which he
was to appear to her family to woo
and wia her. He knew she was not of
age. but he would hardly stick at such
a trifle as a lie now. And Stella with-
out a word to Leo or any living soul.
with death in her heart went out one
morning and married Standish and
received from him her price. 200 kin

hands placed tlnmi that night in Leo's.
and be went half mad with delight
and vowed that after all Standish was
a prince of good fellows and perhaps
had only- meant to give him a fright
for las own good. Stella held her
peace rhe could not. dared not tell
him not at all events until he had
paid away the money. She knew well
enough hew he would fling it hack in
Standish's face perhaps with blows
and violence did ho but guess the
truth. When Leo sought his deliv-
erer nnd. grasping his hayd poured
forth all his gratitude with heartfelt
emotion Standish experienced a sensa-
tion that was not pleasurable.
A few days later Stella's husband
made a formal demand for her hand of
her uncle and aunt. The good people
were delighted. Mercifully for Stella
Leo had gone yachting with a friend
for three weeks. Mrs. Grey could not
make out why tho girl was not over-
joyed at her wonderful fortune.
Standish was a lover in ten thousand;
his settlements his gifts were prince-
ly. He did not trouble her with much
love-mailing he could afford to bide
his time; but no womau could have
had more tender thought and consid-
eration shown-1 her. He was so kind
that a wild hope flashed across ber
that perhaps alter all he would set
her free for of late the fond affection
she had formerly felt for Leo had
grown into a madness of love that was
eating ber heart out Suddenly one
evening she turned to Standish and in
uii agon j of tears) implored him to re-
lease her. Ho hii his lip; a dark red

in a tone which v as quite low and yet
which terrified 1 er he added: "Do
you know that you are mine now and
that 'I could takp you away with me
this moment if J &iose?"
As yet Leo was 3 gnoraat of Stella's oa-
gageuiem; she iad made it a point
that he was only o be'tdd by her own
lips. Ah! what a. terrible tolling it

. Some of the rattlesnakes are said to be
' sx and seven feet long though I never
' jmv onite so bir. An old resident
Qf Fresno tells me he saw a rattlesnake
strike a hog In the thiiont and the lat-
ter died in fifteen or twenty minutes.
If the poison gets into them it takes
no time at; all to kill them. There are
many other kinds of snakes there but
' not so many as here are rattlers. In
the tipper end of the Yoaemite Valley
. thero used to bo and there are yet a
great many of tbe latter. They are
usually found in1 tbe wild rocky spots.
In the Yosemite abovo Mirror lake
( they were onee very plentiful.
'One peculiarity of a rattlesnake is
that if he sees you first he will put his
head down and quietly steal away. I
was once abovo Mirror lake with a
party of ladies and gentlemen and
away off. 150 or. 200 yards away I saw
something that looked like a small
. hitching-posL It stuck some three
feet or more up. I said to .my self can
this be a hitching-post in the grass?
. The others thought it was. but I
: Boubted it As we approached it won't
down gradually and finally stole away
' in thegraw. It was a big rattler and
; bad been watching us."
i "The snake lino is about 8500 feet
! You don't find them in tho Sierras above
that Tbe Nevada rattler as a rule
; is a pretty good-natured fellow unless
' you attack him. The Nevada snakes
look wise and are cunning and per-
sons are naturally afraid of them.
They never try to getaway unless they
think they are seen. They vary in
color from dark to yellow but are
mostly rather dark with dark mottles

mains of ruined cities and a careful
I estimate of the one-time population of
j those places is about 30000.000. On that
1 part of tho road near Palcnque the
ruins are of great magnitude. Houses
four and ofton five stories high have
been found in the depth of the forest.
Many of these houses are pyramidal
in form and so covered are some of
them with vegetable mold that large
trees are growing from the roofs. In
some "of the houses employment has
been made of stone beams of tremend-
ous weight and tbe architecture indi-
j cates a high degree of science.
j In some houses visited bronze lamps
i have been discovered and the interior
and exterior decorations of the moro
important houses consist of paneljngs
; filled with elaborately-carved figures
' alirfos't lifesizo. two types of men and
. women being represented some plain-
' ly Egyptian . and the others genuine
; Africans. In front of one of the
j houses the explorers found fourteen
sculpturs of gods with folded arms.
; The work of exploration was one of
; extreme difficulty owing to the density
' of theforest and the unwillingness of
' the Indians to enter the ancient edi-
: flees they averring that the buildings
! were inhabited by spirits. Another
'. discovery was that an enormous paved
road extends from Palenque across
Yucatan to the Island of Cezumel. and
I is continued on the island.
j Palqnque explorers assert that they
hhve discovered ia the edifices before
mentioned examples of a perfect arch.

While they were stopping to over-
haul a huge pile of sea-weed their at-
tention was attracted by the comical
asthmatic cides for food made by some
young pelicans from their nests of
drift-wood in the mangrove-trees near
by. The old birds were hard at work
diving for fish Ut the lagoon. The
boys. watched one whieh was quite
near them with considerable curios-
ity. It would flutter an instant over
its prey then plunge down and with
open dip-net bill resting on the water
would adjust tbe catch in the capacious
pouch benoath. In one ol these ex-
peditions a gull with trained and
eager eye hovering near settled down
on Papa Pelican's broad head aad as
the fish was tossed about so as
to drop into the- pelican's pouch
the thievish gull would adroitly snap
it up and sail away with a derisive
"ha hal" while the pelican as if ac-
customed to this sort of pocket pick-
ing simply flapped heavily up again
to renew its search for food. ISut the
gull as tha boys speedily saw had
laughed all too soon. For down upon
it from tbe neighboring shore swooped
a strong-winged fish-hawk. With a
shrill cry of alarm the gull darted
now this way and now that in xigzag
lines striving with all his power to
escape. Fear and fatigue prevailing
he let hut choice stolen morsel slip
from his grasp. Then the hawk with
a lower swoop clutched the falling
fish and bore it away to the nearest
rock. Charles Frederick Holder in

Fashions in Assassination.
Fashion is changeable even in mur-
der. It appears (from an official re-
port on the Northwest provinces aad
Oude) that the good old practice of
Thuggee is rapidly becoming one of
the lost arts; but the requirements of
reversioners and expectant heir are
met by a new class of professional
poisoners. If you wish to realise a sum
of money which you are tired of wait-
ing for the old man taking aa uncon-
scionable time in dying you have only
to consult an expert He will enable
you to appoint the funeral for a certain
day and will take care tbat ""the
corpse is ready." In the crime of
'poisoning there is something so fasci
nating with all its horror that the
popular imagination fastens upon it
and readily believes in a prevalence
which is not warranted by ifacts
although (like most other fictions) it ia
substantiated by absolutely conclusive '
evidence. Nothing is better established
than iKst npM fJiA ihh nlfl 1Hm f

done to death by eating toad's liver
not a tempting but hatfdly a fatal dish.

Preparing Butter for Market.
They have in Germany a now style
of preparing butter for market called
glazing or varnishing. Tbe butter b
fir?t thoroughly washed and then
made up into pound lumps and left to
rest in a cool place. A spoonful oi
white sugar is dissolved in one-quarter
liter of water and the solution
heated. The butter is then rapidly
coated with this sugar water a very soft
brush being employed and the sur-
face of the butter slightly melted by
the beat forms with the sugar a glase
or varnish whidris impervious to the
air aad consequently tead to preserve
the butter fresh. This looks like a
trick of the trade but there is no harm
in trying it in a aaill way to .see how
it works' but we would not advise
risking much stock' in such aa experi-
ment as good butter like good wne
seeds no "bush.'" -American Dairy.
