CHAPTER 111. “It sounds like ‘Help!’ Dame Kezia,” exclaimed the young man, whose quick ears had first caught the distant sound, ami who now thrust aside his books, and started to his feet. “Something must have happened down dale.” “Det a be! let a be!" grumbled the woman to whom he spoke, looking up from some household task in a remote corner. “It is hay-harvest time now, and so many rambling lads about.” But at this juncture a shadow darkened the door, and into the house-place of the lonely dwelling one of those houses i plainly built of dry stone, of which wc see j so many in the north of England and in i the southern counties few or none - burst a panting runner. “Captain!" cried out the breathless messenger of ill; “Captain why Mr. Don wherever'• Captain Jedson ami the rest?" “Not back yet from Whitby way,” answered the woman who was called Kezia peering at the newcomer. "My uncle, I Captain Obadiah, sent us word by noon i in a letter by John Anderson, the Hull i carrier. There's none hero but me and | my nursling, our Dou. and won’t be till to-morrow." The young man who had boon the first ; to hear the distant cry, and the first to . apeak, now came forward from where ho had boon seated Inside the long rough ; table littered with books and munu- j scripts. “Anything wrong. Joo?” ho asked. “None here but thee, Mr. Dou!" the boy said, mournfully; "then it’s all up wi’ them, poor souls! all the seven. 1 got free, but they are trapped like so many ; mice, to smother and drown; for who is to draw them out of the Soldiers’ Mough. quagged ns they are, Mr. Dou? and all | along of Rufus Crouch bring so venturesome. Not that I'd blame him now, poor chap!” "It was an ill day when the prospector, that red-haired Rufus Crouch, ever came i in among us jet hunters!” was Kozin's comment. "He'd better have stuck to j Australia and his gold-Jigging than ” j "Hush, dame!" said the young man. who had been addressed as Air. Dm, and who was singularly handsome, lb' was perhaps a couple of years older than the bringer of the news say. twenty year* of age—with dark brown hair that curled naturally round his handsome head, with bold, bright eyes, and a face that in a woman would have Ixsm called beautiful. Joe Nixon’s tab* was 4, , n told. H hid b^-vn ui^ of the .party detached from the main band of jet hunters, and influenced, if not actually command' d, by Rufus Crouch, the ex-Australian gold digg r They had lit upon “signs," in the Ciqr of fragments of buried jet, lately uncovered by the effects of a strong north wester, and a troubled sea, which bad made Rufus, always over-sanguine, f.-M confident that a great booty was to be won before tide rise between the Gannet Rocks and the Soldiers’ Slough; so th. y had all ventured out with pick and shovel, and had actually found some jot, but had been driven by the incoming sea frotn the Gannet Rocks, and, finally, had become “quagged” in the dangerous quicksand that lay but an arrow flight away, Joe ■ Nixon alone having the power of < ape. “Soldiers’ Slough; that means a winding sheet, drawn high, but no coffin nor Christian rites,” remarked D ime Kezia with a shudder. “If Uncle Obad had been here ’’ “I wish he were. But wo must do our best, though the chance is a bad one,” answered the young man, cheerily, ns he snatched his cap ami caught up a long iron-tipj>ed feu pole that stood propped against a rafter. "Come along, Jee." "Don’t be hazardous, Don, my dove!" exclaimed the woman, in some alarm. "You dear old Kezia!” rejoined the young man, laughingly. "Would you make a milksop and a landsman of me of a sudden? No, no; a jet hunter must nerej call in vain with a mate at hand. And he sallied forth, with Joe at his heels. The dale into which Don and his follower emerged was one of the stoniest and narrowest of those valleys which [ cleave the const of a portion of North Yorkshire, but there opened out unexpectedly fertile dells and lateral valleys, ; where farm houses of gray stone stood 1 Among apple trees, ami where there were | meadows in the deep grass of which the : fat kine browsed peacefully. Just then havmaking was in full progress, and in a Inrae field on I' inter Th >rp-’s bind. - .m---quarter of a mile away, many worker- "t l. th sexes were gathered. They siovl. leaning on their rakes and forks, staringly. when Don burst into the midst of them, with Joe Nixon at his heels. “I.ads,” exclaimed the young man, eagerly, "1 waul irm< and nue hearts to go along with me on an errand of mor ey. Seven p..or creatures, jet s -ekers, like : myself, are in mortal peril hard by. quagged in the Soldiers' Slough the terror of our shore. Come, then, and come ' quickly. Captain Jedson is aw ay at Whitby. There's not a jet hunter here save Joe and mo. For the credit of Yorkshire, for the honor of Beckdale, I hope, lads, you'll not refuse me. when the lives of Christian men and women hang trembling by a thread.” Then arose a turmoil of mingled voices in dispute. Farmer Thorpe himself, a notorious curmudgeon, anxious to save his fine crop of hay, as the saying is, without a shower, ami quite callous to sentiment, was very much opposed to any wholesale desertion of their work on the part of his hired men. Luckily, however, o more generous spirit animated the bulk of those present. Forks and rakes were flung aside, and a general move was made toward the beach. On their way shoreward Don called a halt in front of another farm silent and deserted now, since the Lay had been stacked. “Mr. Fletcher,” ho said to the stooping, sturdy old yeoman who stood on his worn doorstep, “you have a lot of boards about

there Ik's ide your barn, and two old rickcloths; these, if you would grant us the loan of them in saving the lives of those quagged in the Soldiers' Slough, would lie worth much to us. I will be responsible for the value of any we may use.” “And how if you lose yourself, lad, ami don’t come back with the tilings or the brass?” hesitatingly demanded the senior. “In that case it is to Obadiah, your neighbor, and our captain, that you must look for payment,” replied Don. cheerily. “May we have them, old friend?” "Ay. ay!” grumbled the farmer, "but have a care, have a care, my bairn. There’ll be moist eyes in more houses than one if ye come not back.” And without further remonstrance, he (saw planks and rick cloths seized upon and borne away benchward. The lower end of the dale once readied and the sand-hills crossed, there could l>e seen the black, serrated line of the half-sunken Gannet Rocks, around which the wavelets rippled. The tide was coming in, but there was not a breath of wind, and the sea was like ft mill pond. Some arrowshot or so away was a brown, shining I something that looked like an ugly patch ’ । on the pure whiteness of the spreading j , sands, and toward the outer edge of ! which, nearest to the Gannet Roc. s, np | ■ peared certain dark specks human beings. clearly, and in sore need. “On, on!” cried Don, bounding forward, I i and nt a run his followers cleared the ; i stretch of flat beach which intervened I between them and a low sand-bank, j i seamed with jagged rocks at the laud- ■ ward edge of the famous quicksand.

It was not often that the Rector of ■ Woodburn made a speech so complimentary, or, indeed, indulged in speech-making 1 .at all. He was a kind man. as wMI as a ■ i learned one. As such, and having leisure I enough, he had good-naturedly undertaki j en to assist young Don, the adopted child 1 of his eccentric neighnor, old Obadiah i Jedson, in his studies, and the young man was always welcome at Woodburn I’ar- . sonage whenever the roving nature of a 1 jet hunter’s calling permitted him to pass t an hour or two iu the clergyman’s well-

Then some other words were sftfiL and then Mrs. Langton ami her young charge stepped into the carriage, ami were borne away, nodding a kind farewell to Don. There stood the young man, with his books under his arm, listening, or seeming to listen, to his friend and patron, bat in truth quite unconscious of the drift of the hitter’s discourse. It was the first time that Violet Mowbray’s tiny Land had touched his; it was the first time that he had seen thme lovely eyes of hers dimmed by tours, ami those tears called forth by his peril, by his daring, by the lives that he hml saved from the jaws of death.

Most of the pupils will be familiar with the history of the tiUM-rnnele during the wanderings in the wilderness, but they will not remember what became of it when Israel entered i anaan. During the early ymirs of the Conquest, the tabernacle was presumably moved about ns the army journeyed, it was finally placed at Shi'oli, n town in central Ephraim, some twenty miles north of Jerusalem (Josh. IS: 1). It remained there during the whole period of the judges, but gradually lost some of its exclusive sanctity, inasmuch as we learn that altars were built and sacrifices offered at other places (Josh. 22: 2G; Jud. G: 13: 19). The story of EH and the child Samuel in the tabermie] - is familiar 11 Sam, chaps j, 2. The ark was taken out to battle by the liebrews when they met the I'hilistim - at E’lenczer, and cuptunsL h wus carried to Ashdod, but after seven months of misfortunes the Philistines were glad to return it to the people of Bethshemesh. who in turn sent it to Kirjath Jcarlm. “the village of for- i ests, which lay on the hills overlooking 1 the deep v .ilh v of STok, i ght miles West ! of Jerusalem 1 S. m. : 1. , : 1 y Look up these plans on the map. the ark rem iim J at Kirjnrh-.le rim, in the house of Abinadab. for many years, perhaps seventy or eighty, in oWnrity and m glect <1 Chr.

FOR ANOTHER CONVENTION. Gold Men Issue an Address to the Inters of the Country. Democrats who believe in a gold standard have issued a call for a national gathering of the memlx'rs of their wing of the party for the purpose of putting a gold Democratic ticket in the field. The call was given out for publication by the members of the executive committee of the gold Demoiracy of Illinois. The call is issued by th- Illinois Democracy which advocates the cause of the yellow metal to the gold Democracy of the other States. In part it is as follows: "A national eonvontion convened under the constituted authority of our party has just closed its session in the city <>f Chicago. it entered upon its work by violating all party pieccdents in the rejection of a distinguished Democrat as its temporary presiding officer. it deprived a sovereign State of a voice in its deliberations by unseating without cause or legal justification delegates elected with all the regularity known to party organization. It refused to indorse the honesty and fidelity of the present Democratic national administration. It adoptc,! a platform which favors t n free and unlimited coinage of silver by this country alone at the ratio of it. to 1, ami tlicreby it repudiated a tim«--houor« d itemoeratic prineip!.* which demands the 'tri. t maintenance of a soumi an 1 t ilde nit mini currency. Finally, tn make it still plainer that although in n:im< it was md in fact a Democratic con visit : on, it nominated for President one who is not in his poJitiea! convictions, and has not always been even in his professions, a Democrat. “This has made such a crisis, both for the nation and ’he Democratic party, that sound-money Democrats at once must decide what p.iit e:.! action they will take f>r the proteepon of the honor of the nation, the pro parity of the people and the life and usefulness of the party.
