Copyright. 1SÄ", ty James Rcdpitb, AJtfcoabNew York i th largest city in America, it is tbe least A nitric a of any large city in Arteries. Native Xew Yorkers the cockneys of America delight to call it "a cosmopolitan c .ly," while Us detractors sometimes describe it as "a dumping ground for the nee refuse cf Europe," and toaietimesas a modern Macbith'a witches' cauldron. All these definitions are correct. New York ia tbe city iuary nations. Here only, in big crude lcrups, can te teen the race elements from which tLe coming American is to be moulded. Not London even, nor Paris, Las a more diversified population. "A few nights ago," said John Swnton, who is the chanpion cf the foreign or the eclated New York, "I addressed a meeting cf Cubans, swarthy and Cashing eyed, in CJaiendcn Hall in this city. After leaving tte tall, I thought of the variety of audi i ces one may find in New York, ana of those 1 have met with in ten years of platform experience. Half a dzen times I have addressed French audiences hare; fire times as often I hare spoken to German audiences; once I address ed an Italian meeting; often I hare addressed audiences of Booth and Ceutral Americans; once, after Michael D&v tt had sioken, I addressed, from a platform in Vci.n Square, an Irish audience of twcjty thousand; I have spoken to a Kmsian tjdience; 1 Lave addressed a negro andiene; I Lave addressed an audience of Ao.-trian Jews; I have addressed a Bohemian audience; I have often addressed audiences of Americans of the soil; and I baye have adcrested many "cosmopolitan" audiences. Yes. yes; it is a very much mixed city, this city of New York." Sunday before last it happened that I was calls d on in the forenoon by a Catholic Panlisl Father and by a Jewish Christian mystic, and then by a Virginian b'ack and a famoos Irish iocrnalist In the evening 1 attended the celebration of the Commune a large audience of Fxench Communists, German Socialists and Enseian Nihilists, and there beard speeches made in three languages and a.w Leer drank in seven or eight. 1 heard Llctt and tailed to S:hvab. In one group there I saw four persons of the Hebxew race an American, a lawyer, wbese ancestors had lived here for two centuries; a German, also a lawyer, who lui been long resident in this country, but who was boarn abroad ; a Bohemian maiden, with black, bright eyes, who had been driven from Piague by the recent Jew baiting mobs, and a your? i'.u.-sian, also of he Hebrew stock, who had been one of the nihilists propaganda and had i scared a long sentence In Siberia by evadins; the pallce and securing false passports, They were all highly edacated person p. The topic cf tbe day In Jewish cire'es, ws the bycotting of two Jewi3b candidates for admission to the Huosars. This led to a ta'k with one of the Jewish lawyers about the Hebrews in New York. I took down his arswers verbatim in shorthand. "To begin with." I said, "will yoa tell ms the ditlerence, if there is any difference, between the terms Hebrew, Israelite, and Jew, and whether the term Jew is offensive to a man of the Hebrew race?' The terms Hebrew, Israelite and Jew," he replied, are not synonymous, bnt re presect distir.ct historical periods oL our race. Hebrew represents the early Abrahamic or ten: a die period. Israelite was the title of the theocracy founded after the Exodns and in the land of Canaan: while Jew was the name cf the remnant left in Palestine after the separation cf Jadah from Israel and the Iom of the ten tribes. The word Jew is not cfTecsive unlfES nued in an offensive way; just aa lli word Yankee may be nsed as the name or a people or aa an insulting epithet. "We Jews call onrsalves Jews among ourselves. The two great divisions of the Jewi xe the Bephardic and the Ashkenaslm." "What do they mean?" "Tbe Sephardic are the descendants of the Spanish or FortogneEe Jews. The Ashkenaaim are all the rest of us. The Sephardic, nntil late years, have always acquired greater distinction than the Ashkenasia. The Sephardic have a tradition that their higher rank and general freedom from persecution are due to the fact that their ancestors were residents of Spain daring the period of Chiiit's life on earth, anl therefore not having been responsible in any way for tte crucifixion, weie spared tbe carse that fell to heavily on their brethren elsewhere. Of late years, the German Jews have acquired greater opportunities by emigration for advancement, both materially and mentally, and therefore they are rapidly winning a ' higher rank than was possible for them in fcrrrer times." 'To these divisions designate their religions divergencies also? ' "No; the Jews to day are divided, religiously, into Orthodox. Liberal and Radical. Yet these divisions are rot so strongly em ptasized as the tame wcrda would denote in talking of Christian sects. The Hebrew Ritual is sometimes a conglomerate or all three forms of religions thought. Even In Biblical times the Jews were divided into Rabbinical and Biblical. Th Rabbinical party was the party of forms and ceremonies and observances and traditions. The Biblical party placed tte spirit above the letter of the law. This division, therefore, as it is founded in the nature of things, will probably be psrtetnal. Modern Jews are fond of contending teat the werk of Christ in his life was largely that of a Jewish Reformer, bent on warring against the formalism of Eibblnlcal Judaism, and that nothing was further from his Intention than the founding of a new religion." "Which of these two old divisions, then, is the strorger to day?" "Well, the influence of Rtbblnhm is greater amon those who follow tbe Polish Ritual, and is weakest among the descendants of the Spanish Jews. Jost In proportion to the Influence of Rabbinism is the reverence or consideration paid to theTalmud and other similar bcoki of Commentaries. One wanes as the other wanes. In those quarters of New York where the Orthodox Polish and Russian Jews are most numerous, you will f nd Talma ileal schoo's attached to be synagogues. Yea will see in them Jewia boys studying tbe sacred books with an earnestness bom of the devontest faith in a spirit totally unlike the spirit with wh'ch Wettern students pursue their theDlogical studies. Contemplation tin its ansterest Oriental significence) is the basis of the system. These absorbed students take note, with mystical significance, of the thoughts that arite in their minds from fixedly regarding tbe printed word of some long deadsnd gone Hebrew sage." "And the women?" "The women are never taught this literature." "What organization daes the Jewish Ra Ileal support?" "Tbe Jew who affects radical opinions in religions matters rarely attaches himself to any distinctive denomination. He merely ceases to attend the Synagogne, or perhaps, if he is not entirely (emancipated), he attends the lectures of Professor Adler. Bat, be ar in mind, in becoming a religions Radical and in ceasing to attend the ancient worship, be does not the tees cease to remain a Jew. For example: during the controversies which social ostracism have recently engendered in this country some of the moet cexv advocates of the social rights and equality of the Jews were found among men who bad long ceased to attend the ministrations of the Synagogne. Oar pride of race re mains. For instance, among the most zealous of thot e who took part in providing for the Russian exiled Jews, recently, were men Jews who had mirried Christian wo men and whose children had been baptfzd juad who, tbemaejyf, bad never beta iaaidf

cf a Fynsgogne for frm ten to fifteen years. Christian writers, in discussing Jewish problem?, often fall into the error of not taking into due consideration our pride yoa msy say.i Jyou choose, oar enormous pride jf race, of which Lord Baconsfield, a bapttzsd Jew, wai a corjsplcuous example; of whici Mr. Lewes, the husband of George Elliot, was an equally striking instance in another fitld. Will you give me a few facts about the Jews here?" "Well, the Jewish parents spend more mcney cnthe fdacationof their children than any other class, in proportion to their means. I never yet saw a man or wommn of my rs who could not read at least io the Heb:. torgue. They are at the head of the money tuarkets Bach men, for example, a Eeligman (an orthodox Jew). Kuhn, Loe A Co., the great bankers, and Halgartsn k Cd There are Iaaie numbers of Jewish broker), and wealthy Jews are foond everywhere in every branch cf trade. Every one knows lbatlact. We are strong in music Ofcsnrse, yon kecw that Mtndelsshon, Handel Hayden, Verdi, Odenbach, Strauss and Runenstein were or ere of the Jewish steck. TJr Dsrrrcech was a Jew. Most of the music teachers of this city are Jews or J wj In ait? Well, we are not particul I ? dia tlngulähed in piss tic art Perhaps U a true that our religion killed plastic art among ns, as IcgersoU says, bnt the same command preserved our race from idolatry. Ic agriculture? Well, here again, every educated Jew acknowledges the deficiency of his race. For fges oar people have not been allowed to hold land, and therefore we have cultivated tiade instead of the soil. But we are trying to remedy this inherited this enforced d-f.cier.cy: in our charities technical education is now made prominent. We have established a technechlogical institute." "You have overlooked yonrown profession? ' I suggested. "Well," he replied, "there are more lawyers among the Jews in proportion to the population than among any other race or f ailh. I say this without ever having actually counted their cambers, bat simply from my own personal observation. The proportion seens to increase every year." "Now, then, as to Jewish traits?" My friend paused and then said : "If I were asked to describe mv racs in one word, tbat word would be Intensity. We are the cosmopolitan people of the world and therefore we are icevitably more national, wherever we may reside, than the meet patriotic native nationalist. This fact does not conflict with cur rice allegiance. For eighteen centuries, and to dy, the Jewish matron, before the cbild sees the li.zht, prays that she may bearing the Messiah; and still, on every Sabbath, the prayer may.be heard in tbe Synagogue that in cur time Is

rael may be restored to on. There is no parsliel to this sentiment aaiorg any mo tern people except the Irish and our sentiment of race patriotism, as yoa might term it, is more ancient as ell as more ardent, for it is founded on the deepest religious nature. I think we have another trait In common with the Irish the eentiment that has kept both races exfant under the most nircrle penecuticn';; we marry early; weregtrd chastity as a hly virtue, withoat regard to sex; and (he ancient Jewish laws a?aiast the profanation of tbe marriage relatrbns are rigidly observe! even among thrse who are otherwise mcst lar. As to csarity, both Individual and organized, the Jew Las no rea ecn to be ashamed of his race; and I do not hesitate to eay that any Jew woo begs is rot worthy of charity, as our charittbe institutions are entirely adequate to relieve them. We support a nu saber cf orphan asylums, and in Jewish hospitals there are more Chrisiitns than Je vs. This reminds me that I oug' ; have said )hat the great Catholic Convent fccuods do net discriminate against Jewish children just as the Sitters of Charity of the Et. Vincent Hospital receive Protestants a ad Catholics on i,ual. terms. "It is not too much to Bay that if Jadaism, as a faith, was to be obliterated, our pride of race wculd preserve the Jews distinct from contaeeous infiuenc;s for many gsnera tlons." "As to the nationality of the Jews, where do tbe most of these now here come from?" "The bulk of them are Germans, bat of late years many Kassians and Poles have come, and some Hungarians. I think it would be safe to say that three fourth of the Jews in America to-day are of foreign birth." "What bond of union," I asked, "is there among Jews of so many dlCerent and even hostile nationalities, excepting their religion and race? How, for instance, can a German and a Russian Jew understand each other? ' "There is a dialect," he answered, "spoken throughout the largest part of Continental Europe and in European Russia by the lower clasees of Jews. This dialect is composed of a mixture of Hebrew and German words and is called Judisch-Dentoch or JewUhGerman. This is the language nsed in the performance of the Jewish dramas now being brought out in the Bowery." "Many attempts have been made to convert tte Jews to Christianity? What, in your opinion, -has been the chief obstacle to these attempts. "The chief obstacle to the conversion of the Jews to Christianity is that it has been attempted to make the Jew an antiJew as well as a Christian: not only to love Christ bui to hate his race, instead of trying to teach him that the Christian Religion waa tot the destruction of Judaism but eapple mentary to it. The Jewish Christians regard Christ as a great Jewish prophet." "Where is an orthodoxy strongest?" "Well, orthodoxy is most prevalent among those who have the more recently arrived ia this country. The longer the average Jew remains here the less orthodox he beCorres. The most representative eynagopie, perhaps, cf the Orthodox in New York is the congregation bheareth Israel In l'jth street near Fifth avenue. The music et this synagogue is especially fine, It is arranged from Jewish melodies of immemorial antiquity in Spain. The best synagoius of the Liberal is the Temple Emanuel in Fifth avenue corner ot 431 street Its services are principally in Eoglish and German and its Rabbi, Rev. Dr. Gottheil, is a man of eloquence and learning. Radicals, of course, have no reuogniztd leader, but in the popular estimation Professor Felix Ailer is regarded as their representative. He lectures every Sunday in Chlckerr-g HalL His congregation is mostly ms.de up of German Jews." "What is the estimated population of the Jewish race in America?'' "It can only be guessed. No authentic data exist An estimsts was made which save 75,000 to this city, acd it is believed tbat 350,000 for tbe entire county wo aid not be far wrong." The latest Issue of the American Edition cf Chamber's Cyclopedia gives it as 1C5.U0J "Is there really much social prejudice against the Jews in America?" "Yes." said my friend, "there is far more than is commonly supposed. We might pass over such incidents as Corbett and Judge Hilton, and even as this disturbance in tbe Hussars, if they were not rather symptoms than exceptions. Take social life. Dodworth's dancing academy in this city Is regarded as the best private school of that kind for young ladies. Yet no Jewess need apply there, for ehe would not be admitted, however eminent in literature. In science or in commerce her father might be. Do yoa remember the recent esse of Mrs. Jacobi? Dr. Jacob!, her husband, is recognized as an eminent specialist in children's diseases. His wife was the daughter of George Patnam, tbe noted publisher, and she, ot course, was the sitter of "George l'atnam's Sons." who succeeded to his business. Mrs. Jacobi never embraced tbe Jewish faith never became a Jewess and Dr. Jacobi had not been iside of a Synagogue for twenty years. Yet she wss refused a suite of rooms for the summer &t m hotel In Staten Ial'id. Oh, yes, there la g-eat social predjudke against the Jews jeuM I am not permitted to give the name of my Jewish friend, bat h h a well-known scholar and a kyer of eminence. I have read the interview to other Jewish men of icaining and taltnt and they pronounce ita

tte'errcnfe correct from the Liberal point of view. An American lawyer who has bad large practice among the Hebrews o! N'e Yo't to wbcm also I read the interview, corroborates its accuracy and made a few additional points. "The true reason why the Spanish and Portuguese Jews have been more succesafal than the Jews of other nationalities is owing to their intellectual advancement for 1,000 years nnder the Moors. The Portuguese Jews stand high here. In Boatn Carolina and Georgia psrticularly, they occupied leading positions before the war higher, relatively tban in the North: for example, Chief Justice Moses, and Senator Benjamin, cf Louisiana. Ia Poland, as I know, tb9 boys are driven to their. Tal med at an early ace and spend jears in lis atady. This mkes tfcem familiar with philosophy of a high character, full of eub:le, mstaphyslcal diatiDctiocs; sharpening the nainrallv acute

Jewish mind and teaching him to regar l form as the 'one thing essential' o: religion. Tbey preserve to day the practices of the Pharisee don't you remember Eabeastein? ho was baneed for murdering his sweetheart? He killed her lest h's reputation in V e 8ynaeogue might be Injured by its beinsr k own that he had seduced her! He wore j.Lvlactories and texts on hia forehead; and in jail went through a lot of formalities called prayers three or four times a day. Yet be and all his relations perjure! themselves to establish an alibi on the trial." I read the Interview to a Catholic friend ard scholar. He said: The Jews deter?: to be honirel in Amer ica. Tbey are coo J citizens Very seldom do yen tee tl tin iu the prisoner's tar, as thieves or rubber?, nor in the poor honse, noria other charitable institutions. They arj a goodheer:ed rare kind to each other and affectiona'e to all ther relations. I think that the reason why they are so wcll to-do.is not because they cheat or overreach, but because they are content with smaller profits. Tbey are ahead because they deserve to be. I have etnee Interviewed Jewish rabbis of the different schools, but this letter is already too long. James Kedpatii. New Yc:h, Arril 2, 18S5. WIT AND P1.EASANTBT. An ecclish traveller in looking over some American town names came across the well known ones cf Pawtucket Bhetacket and Nantucket "Haw haw!" he exclaimed. ' I'm blessed if the whole family didn't take it! Ptragraphs are floating about to the effect that diseases are frequently communictted by kissing. We supposed every one kaew that the most dancerous and swift of all dis eases was communicated in that way heart disease. "Ah, yes," said an old fellow "when I was a young rr an like you I admired a pretty girl as much as any one, and, if I do eay It, wsb very popular with tbe young ladies; but accumulating years and a wife and family have taught me " here he hesitated. "Well, what hive accumulating years and a wife and family taught you?'' "Caution, my boy, caution." "I've heerd," remarked a Dakota man. "that Boston girls is modest, bat we bive wirrmin out here, stranger, that kin cive 'em points." "Is that so?" "Yes. sir. Time's a gal in Bismarck, for instance, who is so thundrin' modist that when she seta down she alters fixes her dress so tht even the legs of the chair csn't be Eeen. I'm bettin money that beats Boston." "Dear me," said George, nimbly skipping over the long terminus of her dre39, "I just missed the train." "Never mind, George," she said kindly, "send around the 'bus next time and you'll catch it" He, most impudent and imprudent, replied that happily he had it with him, and sent it up at once. Then, lust as she had predicted, he caught it. Why did he catch it? Because her mamrxe war looking at him. A nervous old lady traveling on a foreign rail nay where the incline was very steep, asked the guard if there was any fear of accident "Plenty of fear, ma'am," was the rely, "but no danger." "Why?" asked the still anxious pilgrim. "Because there's a break on every wheel," said the guard. "But suppose anything was to get wrong with the break, what would happen then, guard?" inquired the fearful one. "Then, ma'am, we can reverse the engines, or put on a pressure strong enough to keep the train from slipping, nhether going up or down." "Bat If that were to give way, what would become of us?" "Well, ma'am, that I can't say; it depends on the life you have been living." In Poverty's Tale. "What's the matter, Mary?" Inquired a workman, as he entered his home and found his wife in tears. "I was thinking of my' brother George," replied the sobbing wife; "I got a letter from his wife to day." "Fall of complaints about hard times, as usual, I suppose?" ".No, there wasn't a word of complaint in it, bat it's clear to my mind they're getting poorer and poorer." "What makes you think that?" "Because she said they'd been getting an other dog." This season's orange cron in Florida is the largest ever known. Thousands Hastened to Their Graves By relying on testimonials written in vivid, glowing language of some miraculous cures made by some largely puffed up doctor or patent medicine has hastened thousands to their graves, the readers haying almost insane faith that the same miracle will be performed on them that these testimonials mention, while the to called medicine is all tbe time hastening them to their graves. Although we Lave Thousands Upon Tbonsaod"! of testimonials of the most wonderful cures voluntarily sent ns, we do not publish them, as they do not make the cures. It Is eur medicine. Hop Bitters, that makes the cures. It has never failed and never can. We will give reference to any one for any disease similar to their own if desired, or will refer to any neighbor, as there is not a neighborhood in the known world but can show its cures by Hop Bitters. A. Losing Joke. A prominent physician of PlUiburg aaia to a lady patient who was complaining of her continued ill health, and of hia Inability to cure her, joklDgly said: 'Try Hop Bitters 1" The la-1y took It in earnest and nsed tbe Bitters, from which he obtained permanent health.

All his companions w-ire BUlne boys with the exception of Joe Baddington, who emulated young Randall in steadfastcess to the Democracy, so Samuel junior resolved to reward him with an oiiice. As soon as Congress asembled he called upon the doorkeeper of the House and demanded a place as page for a friend. The doorkeeper promised to see what could bs done, and the next day tbe boys presented themselves and announced that Joe was ready to be sworn in. He secured the place. The parents of the boys knew nothing of tbe affair. Breaking Up of the Ice. I6t. Nichohu.l Among the Inhabitants of one of tbe little fishing villages on the south shore of tbe St Lawrence River was a thrifty French Canadian named Pierre Laval. His family coosisted of his rosy cheeked, good natured wife. Louise the eldest child, from her womanly ways nicknamed 'tbe little mother," Jean, a strong lad of thirteen, and tbe baby, whoee bright black eyes aid white ekin made one think of two blackberries in a bawl of milk. On the afternoon of a certain cloudy day the door of the Lval cottage opened every few moraents, and Louise peered anxiously down the road. At Iat she spied the stout figure of Jean coming np the street, and drawing her little red ehawl over her head she ran to meet him. "Hurrah, Loa!" he cried gayly: "the boit is almost done, and the boys are going to let me have the naming of it. 1 think I shall call it 'The Louise.' " But the girl did not seem to hear. "Oh, hurry, Jean!" the gasped, pressing her hands together nervously; "the baby!" Then Jean, the first time, noticed how pale and anxious bis face was. "Well, what of the baby," be asked. "8rck. oh, so sick! he never was like this befoie." "And yon wanted me to go on some errand? I am sorry now tbat I staid all night, but mother said I might if the boys wanted me." "Your staying was all right, Jean, only everything has gone wrong this time. Word came this morning that a big gang of mea was wanted at the big lumber yard, and father and tbe neighbors went away early and will not be back before the end of the week." "But wbere's mother Barbät? Can't she cure the baby?" Louise shook her head sadly. 'Tor once, Jean, her medicine don't seem to do any good ; but she Bays she hss been with tbe great doctor over the river two or three times when he has had throats evin" werse than the baby's, and that he need a new kind of medicine a little wLite powder and it always helped the people right otf. He gave ber tbe name of the powder, but I couldn't find it at the little ahop In the village, and mother didn't dare to trust ms to go across the river with Jet He hasn't been out of tbe stable for four or five days, and be is as wild as a wolf." It was toward the close of the long and bitter Canadian winter. Already, in some localities, little shallow pools of water standing here and there on the frozen surface of the St Lawrence river showed that the sun was getting back some of its summer heat and power; and the inhabitants along the store prophesied the speedy breaking np of the ice. But as yet not a crack had disfigured the glittering mass, which for two months had stretched out a3 level as a floor, making a firm, safe bridge between tbe little village on the south shore and the large town of V . As Jean and Louise entered the cottage, their mother met them with a sober face. How still and lonesome it seemed without the blight baby, who always laughed and put out hia little hands the moment the big brother came in sight Jean felt consciencesmitten when he remembered how oftea he had said: "Bother take the baby!" when his mother bad left the little fellow in his charge for a few momenta. "Tske courage, mother!" he said, bravely. "I'll bsrness Jet and have bim at the door in a mortent". In a few moments Jean and Louisa were snugly tucked inside the little ale ige under tbe warm wolf-skins, and tbe black pony with bis head down, going at his best pace, brought them in a short time to tbe rivers edge. The ice was soon crossed, and after a shoit drive up the main street ot ths large town. Jean pulled up in front of the doctor's office. Finding him out he scrawled a message on the slate, and, stopping at the drug store, be bought two bottles of the white powder, which he carefully placed in his inside coat pocket &d then they started for home. Aa the black pony stepped out upon the ice. seme men motioned Jean back; and, Coding bim determined to go on, two or three of them sprang forward ar.d ee'zsd the bridle. "You're young, my master, but yon're old enough to know better than to venture across tbe face of such a sky as that Arid havan't vnn hmrd the new from nn the river? The ice has already weakened in spots !" "Bnt I tell you I must cross, and you haye no right to keep me here v losing time," returned Jean, fiushiBg angrily, while Louise tamed her face imploringly toward the men. l'We must try to cross," she said, with trembling lips. "My little brother is sick peibaps dying; we have been for tbe doctor acd are taking back the medicine. Father la away and mother is waiting for us." The men looked irresolute. "Better to loee one child than three," said the first speaker, still keeping hold of the bridle. "Let the youngsters go, neighbor TyrreV exclaimed the ne comer. "It is Pierre Laval's pony, the best traveler about N . Perhaps he can get them across before the storm bursts. Think of your own wife left alone with, a dying baby, and waiting for medicine. Spare not the whip, my boy, and may the good God put inch speed in your p: ny's legs aa never was there before I" Jet, glad to be released, darted forward oa hie wsy. The same oppressive stillness con tinned ;stlll tha black clouds mountei higher and higher, and there was the same peculiar moaning in the ice beneath. The children bad already crossed sacra than two-thixdj ot

tbe tbe distance when there came a little pcfiot wlcd. followed by two or three vio ient custs. which caused the light I-de to i wer ve to ore side. The next moment there wei a heavy boom in the ice directly underneath them, and tbe air was filled with a saccess'on of sharp reports like the rattling of mciketry. Louise, too frightened to speak, turned and looked in her brother's fa;e, but she found little there to reassure her. His evei were riveted on a lire crack in the ice befoie them, tbroneh which could be seen the dark waters of the swiftly moving current. Obeying the sudden stingo! the whip, the ycry gathered birrsslf for a spring, and cleared the rrack inst as it widened to at infpeeab!e cha?m behind tbem. A second crack teas cro'.sed in same manner, and theo Jf an saw tbat their fioatiDg platform was surrounded on all sides by water. "We roust leave ths eledge, Louise," he said. "It will be safer lyiDg flat on the ice." He took bis knife acd cnt the pony looee from the ilfdge. "It is only fair to give poor Jet a chance for his life." he muttered; and then eeizirp hia sister by the band, be drasjgsd her to the strongest part of the floe iust as it parted in the middle with a sudden snap. The little redeledge slipped Into the water, end the pony, xieigbing piteonsly, drifted ltpidiyfrom their sight Jean heard the shouting of voices, and through the driving rain he was able to make out the figures of n. en on shore, running to aodfro. "Hold fast to n e, Louise," he said, as she gave a little gasp when the Hoe tilted to one side acd the icy waves dashed over their facej, ' we are neuing the stationary ice by ths shore.
