As soon as the King- appeared upon the scone ulie advanced"toward him with a splendid silver salver in her hand, on which was beautifully emblazoned tho family arms. On it lav a pretty little bunch of violets. "How much, madams?" asKed tho King. "Twenty-four louis, sir," was hor soft response, Milan paid her the sum she asked, with a courteous bow, took the salver from her hands, placed the bouquet in his buttonhole, and walked oil with tho tray under his arm. The Fondest Hoar Memory Recalls. The question naturally augijeats itself. Which is "the fondest hour memory recalls?" Has the reader, whose attention we hope to engage, ever had a controversy with his stomach on the subject of dyspepsia? After convincing proofH that the digestive organ has got tho upper hand, has a wise report been maile to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters? If so, tho "fondest hoar" has been recalled by memory In tho shape of a lasting resumption of the'power to digest, assimilate thoroughly and eat heartily without fear of being uncomfortable afterward. When the dinner bell, that "tocsin of the sonl." strikes agreeably npou the ear, the auditor then greets it as a welcome sound and hastens to obey Its summons. The Bitters, so renowned as a stomachic, overcome, too, malarial, btlions and kidney trouble, and r ?medy nervousness, rheumatism and sick headache. Cse Is Second Nature. The following dialogue passed before a court in Kngland, between a medical witness and alawver. "If a person, lying on wot straw, were deprived of all the comforts and the necessaries of life, would it not hasten death?" asked the lawyer. "inat would greatly depend on whether he had been accustomed to them, ' replied the doctor. vo you mean to tell us that if a poi son lived in a horse-pond it would not oe imurious to mm. tne lawor ex claimed. 'I think not, if he had lived for sixty or seventy years in it,'' said the aoexor, cauniy. A Secret for Girls).

CHAFTKR XXV. -Continued. It she took that course onco. why not a second time? Ami if ever she hove in sight, might they not hope, nfter all. to signal her with their rudely constructed hclioirraph. and stop her s tor Methuselah's secret, there was only ono wav. Felix thought, in wiiurn ii coiuu now prove oi anvuso t i i i- ;i , . ' . prove them. When the actual day ot Iheif doom drew nih, ho might, perhaps, be tempted to try the fate which Nathaniel Cress of Sunderland, had successfully courted. That might gain them at least a little respite. Though even 'so lie hardly knew what good tt could do him to be elevated for awhile into the chief got! of the if-land. It might not even avail him to save Muriel's life: for ho did not do;ibt that When the awful day itself had actually come the natives would do their best to kill her in spite of him, unless he ' anticipated them bv fulfilling his own terrible, yet merciful, promise. Week alter we -k went, by month after month passed - and tho date when the Australia-ian might reasonably bo expected to reappear drew nearer and noarer. They waited and trembled. At last, a few days beforo tho tinio M. Pcyron had calculated, as Felix was sitting under his big shade tree in his garden one morning, while Muriel, now worn out with hope deterred, lay within her hut alone with Mali, a sound of tom-toms and beaten palms was hoard on the hill-path. The natives around fell on their faces or lied. It announcod tho speedv approach of Tu-Kila-Kila. By this timo loth the castaways had grown comparatively accustomed to that hideous noise, and to the hateful presence which it proceeded and horalded. A dozen temple attendants tripped on either side down the hill path, to guard him, clapping their hands in a barbaric measure as they went: Fire and Water, in the midst, supported and Hanked the divine umbrella. Felix rose from his seat with very little ceremony, indeed, as the great god crossed the whito taboo-1 lino of his precincts, followed only bo-j yond the limit by Fire and W ater. lu-niia-Kiia was in his most inso-1 lent vein, tie glanced around with a hot id light of triumph dancing visibly j in his eyes, it was clear he had come intent upon some grand theatrical coup. Ho moant to take the whitofaced stranger by surpriso this time. "Goodnorning. O King of tho Rain." ho exclaimed, in a loud voice and with boisterous familiarity. "How do you like your outlook now? Things are getting on. Tho end of your rule is drawing very near. Isn't it? Bo'ore long I must make the seasons chango. I must make my sun turn I must twist round my sky. And then I shall need a new Korong instead of you, O pale-faced ono!" Felix looked back at him without moving a muscle. "Iam well," ho answered shortly, restraining his anger. "The year turns round whether you will or not. on are right that the sun will soon begin to niuvo southward on its path again. Hut many things may happen to all of us meanwhile. I am not afraid of you." As he spoke, he drew his knife, and opened the blade, unostentatiously, but firmly. If the worst wero really coming now. sooner than he expected, he would at least not forget his promise to Muriel. "Tu-Kila-Kila smiled a hatef d and ominous smile. "I am a great god," ho said, calmly, striking an attituJo as was his wont. "Hear how my reoplo clap their hands in my honor? order all things. I dispose tho course of nature in heaven and earth, if Hook at a cocoanut troeit dies; if I gianee at a bread-fruit, it withers away. We will seo beforo long whether or not you are afraid of me. Meanwhile, O Korong, 1 havo come to claim my dues at your hands. Prepare for your fate. To morrow the Queen of the Clouds mnst be sealed my bride. Fetch her out that I may speak with her. I havo come to tell her so." It was a thunderbolt from a clear sky. and it fell with terrible eilcet on Felix. For a moment the knife trembled in his grasp with an almost irresistible Impulse. Ho could hard'y restrain himself, as he hoard those horrible, in credulous words, aud saw the loathsome smirk on tho sneaker's face bv which thev wero accomnanied. from Inaninir , men ami mere at tiio savage s throat, ! and plunging his blado to the haft into the vile gcreaturo s body. But by a violent o:Tort ho mastered his indigna tion and wrath for tho present. Planting himself full in front of Tu-Kila-Kila, and blocking the way to the door of that sacred Knglislt girl's hut oh, how horrible it was to him even to think of hor purity being contaminated by the vilo neighborhood, for one minute, of that loathsome monster! He looked full into the wretch's face, j and answered very distinctly, in slow, ' low tones: "If you dare to ask to soe her fa?o again, 1 will plunge the knife j hilt deoo into your vile heart, aud kill you where you stand without a second's deliberation. Now yon hoar my words and you know what I moan. My . weapon is keener and tercer than any you Polynesians ever saw. Ho peat those words onco more, and by all that's true and holy, before they're out of your mouth I leap upon you und stab you." j lu-KUa-Kiia drew pack in sudden ' surprise. He was unaccustomed to bo I so bearded in his own sacred isiand. ! Well. I shall claim hot- to-morrow." ; ho faltered out, taken uWick by Felix's unexpected onei-irv. He uaused for a second, then ho went 0:1 more slowly: j "To-morrow i will como with all my people to claim my brido. This after- ! noon thoy will bring her mats of grass and necklets of nautilus shell to deck her for her wedding, as becomes Tu-Kiia-Kihvs chosen one. Tho young maids of Boupari will adorn her for her lord, in the accustomed dress of Tu-Kila-Kila's wives. Thoy will clap their hands: they will sing tho marriage song. Then early in the morning I will como to fetch her and woo to him who strives to prevent mo!" J-clix looked at him long, with a fixed and dogged look. "What has made you think of this devilry?" ho asked at last, still grasping his knife hard, and half undecided whether or not to use it. "Vou have invented all these ideas. You have 110 claim, even in tho horrid customs of your savago country to demand such a sacrifice." . Tu-Kila-Klla laughed loud, a laugh of triumphant and discordant merri ment. ,-lla. ha! - he cried, you do not understand our customs, and will you teach mo, tho very high god, the guardian of the laws and practices of Boupari? You know nothing: you are as a little child. 1 am absolute wisdom. With every Korong. this is always our rulo. Till the moon is full, on tlin last month before wo offer np tho sacrifice, tho Queen of the Clouds dwells apart with her Shadow in her own new temple. 80 our fathers decreed it. But at the full of the moon, when tho day has come, the usage is that Tu-Kila-Kila, tho very high god, confers upon her the honor of making her his brido. It is a mightv honor. Tho (east is great. Blood Hows like water. For seven days and nights, then, she lives with Tu-K ikt 1-ii la in his sacred abode, the thro. hold of .1 leaven: sho oats of human llesh: t ho tastes hamuli blood; she drinks abundantly of the

Jlepntson his mask of tho face ot a shark, for he is holy and cruel: he brings: forth the (Jueen of tho Clouds before the eyes of all his people, uttirod in her wedding mhos, and mudo drunk with kava. Then ho gashes her with knives: he oilers her ! up to heaven that accepted her: and .i. .. t.'j .- - .i... n.,: i the King of tho Kuin ho oilers after her: and all tho people eat of their flesh.' Korong! and drink of their blood so that the body of gods and goddesses may dwell within a;l of them. And when all is done, the hirh ffod chooses a new king and queen at his will i.tor lie is u llllliuty tu no ruiu iuc ma moons more, and then are olered up iit the cntl in lisc fashion, As he spoke the ferocious light that gleamed in the savage's eye made Felix positively n;ad with anger. Hut he answered nothing directly. "Is this so'.-''' he asked, turning for confirmation to Fire and Water, "is it tho custom of Iroupnri that Tu-Kila-Kila should wed the Queen of the ( loads seven days lie ore the date appointed for her sacrifice';"' Tho King of Fire an 1 the King of Water, tried guardians of the ctiiiietto of Tu-Kila-Kila's court, made answer nt once with one accord, ' It is so, O King of the lfnin. Your lips have said it. Tu-Kila-Kila speaks the soiemn truth. He is n. very groat god. Such is t he custom of lioiiMii-i. " Tu-Kila-Kila laughed his triumph in harsh, savage outburst. ilut Folix drew back for a second, irresolute. At last he stood face to face with the absoluto need for immediate action. Now was almost tho moment when he must redeem his terrible promise to Muriel. And yet, even so, there was still one ehai;co" of life, ono respite left. The mystic yellow bough on the saered banyan! tho gt-eut Taboo! the wugcr of the battle with Tu-Kila-Kila. Quick as lightning it all came up in his excite 1 brain. Time after time, since ho heard Methuselah's strange message from the grave, had ho passed Tu-Kila Kila's temple ini-losure and looked up with vatfue f inclosure and looked up with vague i awe at that sacred parasite that grew i so conspicuously in a fork of the I branches. It was easv to secure it, if no man trunrdod. There still remained 00 night, in that ono short night be must do his best and worst. If all worst. II ail i ir...i.. ' mut,l,ulB """" w,t" ! " For two seconds he hesitated. It ! wns hatefnll vnn tn temnnrio with so i hideous a proposition. But for Muriel's 1 sake, for her do;ti-life's sake, he must : meet these savages with guile for i guile. "If it be, indeed, the custom of iioupari," ho answered, Daclc, with j jrum uciiiu.iug iuu u i. uuvujau, am powerless to prevent it. I will give your message, myself to the Queen of tho Clouds, and yo i may send, as you say, your wedding decorations. But come what will m;irk this -you shall not see her yourself to-day. 1'ou shall not speak to her. Thorel draw a line so, with my stick in the dust. If you try to advance ono step beyond, I stab you to the heart. Wail till to-morrow to take your prey night. Great go gyod 'loTZ ?,ff& ?ill not : drive an ! angry ! are wise, you will not drive an angry man to utter desperation." Tu-Ki':a-Kila looked with a suspicious sido glance at the gleaming steel blade Folix still fingered tremulously. Though Boupari was one of those rare and isolated small islands unvisitod as yet by European trade ho had never- , theless, heard enough of the sailing gods to kii'-w that their skill was deep and their weapons very dangerous. It would bo foolish to provoke this' man to wrath too soon. To-morrow, when taooo was removed, and all was freo license, he would come when he willed and take his bride, backed up by the full force of his assembled people. Meanwhile, why provoke a brother r.-.. rrn ..'1 l,,rlA p;vu. njv toil -iivuL nia iilviu ami u than a week from now the pale-faced ! Korong would be eaten and digested! "Very well," he said, sulkily, still with the sullen light of reveii..gleaming bright in his eye. "Take my message to the queen. You may be my herald. Tell her what honor is in store for her to be first the wife and then the meat of Tu-Kila-Klla! She is a very fair woniui. I like her well. I have longed for her lor months. Tomorrow, at tho early dawn, by the break of day, I will corao with all my I people and take her homo by main force to me." lie looicea at r eux and soowieafsra angry scowl of revenge. Then, as heturned and walked away, under eovor of the great umbrella, with its dang- j ling pendants on either side, the temple i attendants clapped their hands in uni- j son. Fire and Water marched slow j and held tho umbrella over him. As j ho disappeared in the distance, and the sound of his tom-toms grew dim on the hills. Toko, the Shadow, who had lain Hat, trembling, on his faco in the hut while the god was speaking, came out and looked anxiously and fearfully after him. "The time is ripe," he said, in a very low voice to Felix. "A Korong may strike. Alt the people of Boupari murmur among themselves. They say this fellow has held tne spirit of Tu-Kila-Kila within himself too long. Ho waxes insolent. They think it high timo tho great God of Her.ven should find beforo long some other fleshly tabernacle," I'll l' TEH XXVI. A HASH KESOI.VE. Tho root of that day was a time of profound and unease anxiety. Felix aud Muriel remained alone in their huts, absorbed in plans of escape, but messeneers of many sorts from chiefs and gods kept continually coming to them, Tho natives evidently regarded it as a period of preparation. The iiyes of Tu-Kila-Kila surrounded their precinct; yet Felix couldn't help noticing that they seemed in many ways less watchful than of o!d.and that thoy whispered and conferred very much in a mysterious fashion with the people of the village. More than once Toko shook his head, sagely. -'If only any one dared break the Great TuboO," ho said, with some terror 011 his face, "our pooplo would be glad. It would greatly please them. They are tirod of this Tu-Klla-Kilu. Ho has held the god in his breast far, far too lone. They would willingly see some other in place of him." Before noon, the young girls of tho village, bringing native mats and huge strings of nautilus shells, trooped up to tho hut, like bridesmaids, with flowers in their hands, to dock Muriel for her approaching wedding. Before them they carried riuuutitios of red and brown tappu-cloth ami very line network, the dowry to bo presented by the royal bride to her divine husband. Wit hin tho hut, they decked out tho Queen of the Clouds" with garlands of llowers and ne kless ol shells, in a solemn native fashion, bewailing her fate all the time to a measured dirge in their own language. Muriol could see that t licit- sympathy, though partly conventional, was largely j-eul us well. Many of the young girls seized hor hand convulsively 'rom time to time, and Kissed it with genuine feeling. The gentle young I ngiish woman had won their savage hearts by hor purity and iii:;o. em c. "Poor thing, poor thing,'' they .-. id, stroking her hand tenderly . "She is too good for Korong! Too good for Tu-Kila-Kila.'

If only we knew the Ci-eat Taboo like

the men. wo would toll her every thing, blio is too goort to die. We are sorry she is to he sacrificed!" Ilut When all their preparations were finished, the chief nnioug them raised a calabash with a little scented oil in it, and poured a few drops solemnly on Muriel's head. "Oh. great god!" she said, in her own tongue, "we offer thi sncrlticoj a goddess herself, to you. o obey your words. Y on aro very holy. We will each of us eat a portion 01 her llesh at your feast. So give us good erops, strong health, many chil dren:" 'What does she say?" -Muriel asked, palo and awestt-uett. ot .Mali. Mall translated the words with per feet sang-froid. At that awful sound Muriol drew back, chill and cold to the marrow. How inconceivable was the state of mind of these terrible people They were really sorry for her; they kissed nor hand with fervor: and vet they deliberately and solemnly pro posed to oat her! Toward evening tho young girls at lust rotirod, in regular order, to tho clapping of hands, and Felix was left alone with Muriel and the Shadows. Already he had explained to Muriel what ho intended to do: and Muriel, half dazed with terror and paralyzed by these awful preparations, consented i passively. But how if vou never come back, Felix?" she cried at last, cling ing to him passionately. Felix looked at her with a fixed !ook. "I havo thought of that," he said. "M. Peyton, to whom 1 sent a messago by flashes, has helped mo in my dimculty. This bowl has poison in it. Peyron sent it to me to-day. He prepared it himself from the root of the kava bean. If by sunrise to-m ri-ow you havo no news, drink it off at once. It will instantly kill vim. You shall not fail alive into that creature's clutches. " TO UK CON'TIXCED. I Mr. Irving and the t'ollie. Mr. Henry Irving was in Scotland two or three summers ago, and on one of his walks be frequently met a shepherd with a tine collie. He took a fancy to the dog. and a few days before leaving he otlcred the High lander tlftv pounds for his collie. The shepherd seemed surprised at the amount one red and was stru k with sadness, for he was poor and wanted the money, yet he ha t formed so strong an attachment to the doa that he could not bear the thought of partlni; from it. After deliberating for a while he said. "5a, sir, I wlllna tak' the fecfty pound." Well, then," said Mr. Irvin wm give you sixty pounus ir you win bring the dog to my hotel within th iree days." The man stood looking down at his dog, and was silent, and the actor walked away. At the end of three rlnuo tVn Tl itrhlnnrW nrif h hU Ana called on Mr. Irving. The man said though he did not want to part With the COllle, as he Was poor and had a family to support he could not. afford to keep a dog worth sixty pounds and had decided to accept the offer. The poor fellow took the money and thanked Mr. Irving. He looked onco very hard at the collie, which tried to lick his band; then he threw his arm over his eyes and ran out of the room. Mr. Irving brought the dog to Lon don, but the rumble of the city ai d the crowds in the streets seemed to confuse Mm. He grew more and more unhappy, an 1 after a few days . li nada' (inttr )i,nri n t . ..iriiit V. i J bargain for he had only succeeded iti making himself, the shepherd and tne a or tnniougmy uiiscraiie. A few days after his return Mr. Ir ving took his dog into Kensington Gardens, and for a moment the io r creature brightened at the first sight of a few sheep that were graz- . uuder the Ues, but soon disco "f" .7,.; ' ,.-,, verlng that they were not his own flock, aud that his muster was not near, he relapsed into his usua dejection. After this it was very di licult to get him to take any food, and, as he soon lost his tine appearance and grew lean, Mr. Irving de cided to give him his liberty; so he returned him as a present to tho - , . . 1 , 1ina?r who afterwards wrote that tbe dog was so overjoyed to get home that be leaped upon his old master's shoulders, and then ran about the hills so wildly that the shepherd feared for a time that he would go mad. Profit-Sharing'. The ex-President of tho United Stale said lately, in a public address, "The time-are full ot unrest, dis aster and apprehension." This is a statement which probably even the most hopeful thinkers would accept. As to the best means of ending un rest and apprehension, and turning disaster into Rood fortune, sincere men are widely at varlauce. One means that nutyheip in a con siderable degree to allay discontent has lately been recommended in an open letter to employers and em ployes. The letter comes from a na tional association which has on its rolls many large em ploying capitalists, as well as employed persons an association organized for the promotion of protlt-sharing. The letter points out that the system of profit-sharing tends to establish a more friendly relationship, ai d one of common interest, letween, working pcopleand the employer, and that this common interest would be tho surest pledge of industrial peace, and tbe frmest support in tiiuei of commercial distress. Responding to such an advance on the part of the employer, the emplojo may, this address says, increasethe quantity and improve the quality Of the product uuder a deeper feeling of interest. By diligence, care and economy he can create an additional profit, to be used in supplementing regular wages. Wherever a dividend out of profits has been allowed to workmen, it has tended to prevent strikes and to encourage good habita as well as to increase products. Served Him Kixhc. A gentleman who had been invited out by A happened to be acquainted with the next door n.-ighho;- of his host, B, and, on descending from his hackney coach, saw a haunch ot venison roasting at the hitter's ti re. As he has no expectation ot su h faro at A's, he coolly changes his destination, and is welcomed by B to ' pot luck." This he believes to be a modest phrase for venison, till t he ban ,uet appears in the shape of some bacon aud eggs. It turns out that B's kitchen-range was larger than his neighbor's, and A had obtained permission to get his piece de leslstance cooked there.

His most woeful expressions, retched out of him by a twisting, collapsing stomach, ex ite no sympathy, but are memorized for quotation when a company is to be amused. The poet Whittier was a grave Quaker and a t nder-hearted man, but he told this amusing story of his m '-tlier's voyage by steamer to Portia nd: "My mother," he said, "was not used to travel! g by water, and she had a new Quaker bonnet made logo on her journey. When we were well out 1 1 sea, sho became very uncomtortable.andft.ook oil her new 1 onnet, and placed it on a chair bc-i ie her. "Her discomfort increased, she changed her position, and sat down on the new bonnet Thee knows Quaker bonnets' won't bear sitting on. This was too much for the uood 1 wo:t:an, and sho said: I '".John, I want thee to take ne! right homo.' " 'lint, mother, we are way out to t sea: 1 can't take thee home.' ! " -Can't thee get the boat to turn ' round? I feel ve.y sick, and my new ; bun nit will never do to wear to friend bin 1 th's in Portland.' j " 'No, mother, thce'll have to make j the best of it now.' " C) John, thee must never take me again on the water. I do' know as 1 shall ever live to get home.' " Hoy Heroes. Many drummers and buglers have covered themselves with glory by their bravery while in battle During the Abyssinian expedition a bugler whose duty it was to remain at Lord Napier's side slipped away as the army approached Magdala, reached tbe gate before the storming party, and was the first to da h into the enemy's strongho!d. Another bugler greatly distinguished himself at the Idowing open of the Cashmere Gate, the grandest exploit in the Siege of I elbi. This lad termed one the party which accomplished this memorable feat, and be was obliged to sound the "charge" three times 1 efore It could be heard above the firing of the rebels. Splendid was the tieed ot adruuime - in the Ciimca. One evening, in the broad daylight, he was observed to leave the trenches before .-ebastapol with a can of tea in his hand. Heedless of the shower of shot and shell from the Russian batteries which poured around him he picked his way among the wounded, giving tho brave soldiers a drink. When tho tea was all gone lie threw the empty can toward the Knsslaus in a contemptuous manner, and then walked back to the trenches. The noble generosity of this lad enabled many to endure their anguish until after dark, when parties of their troops brought in the wounded. By bis timely action several were saved from death. Lamp Itork of Central AsiaOn the shoves of Lake Ranckul, in tho Cashgar mountains in Central Asia, stands tho famous "Lamp Bock of Asia," wh'ch is so called from a eavo in its side, from which a constant stream of pale greenish light i-s emitted. Koy I-lias, the English adventurer, who passed it in lss,", thinks it possible that tho light is due to some phosphorescent mineral in tho sides of the cavern near its opening. Tho natives of that section ha e never attempted to investi.ate tho matter, each seeming content with tho story told by his father, which is this: "The cave is tho dwelling-place of a demon, who guards vast treasures stored there, and tho light is from a diamond worn in a baud around his forehead." Wouldn't Stand Melt Names. Two boarding-school girls were sitting in their room in tho dat-K discussing the torments and trials of the day over a jar of jam they had stolen from tho cook. "Isn't Miss Pond horrid?" said one, as sho bit her inm-eovered linger in the dark and gave a little s.juca! ".She's a nasty old thing," eeclared the other, spitefully. "And isn't her aversion to nick names and diminutives prove king. Why, sho reprimanded me fi r calling Helen Cook 'Nellie.' " "Humph! That's nothing. Why, in the Latin class yesterday when I translated tho lines, 'And tho cohorts of C';i sar sallied forth,' she said in her nasty wav: 'Sarahed forth; tacahed foi th, Miss Stump." Kew Industries for Women, A new industry for women hassprung up in ictoria. Tho government has proa;oted the establishment of a scent farm. In addition to cultivating tho llowers, tho manageress holds the classes to teach tho process of extracting . cent, as well as tho distillation of 1-0: e , lavender, and other llowers.
