And just at the gray break of dawn, when they oonld almost hear the church bells ring through the fog and darkness, there went a thrill and quiver through the Forest Queen from stem to stern?a sudden pulse, like the beating of a heart. Guy Dayrel started up in his berth and tapped at the board partition which separated his sleeping quarters from those of his nearest neighbor. "Aymesoourt!" he cried, "wake up! There is something wrong!** Aymesoourt started from his dreams. 'Wrong! What is it?" "We have run aground somewhere, or struck a rock. Stop?don't ask any more questions. Keep your breath and strength; they will both be needed. Dress as quickly as you can. When Aymescourt came on deck, amid the darkness and chill and oonfusion, he eou!d learn only one fact? that the ship had struck a rock, and was fast leaking away her life. frttfoanKsqlvi "But you needn't be so alarmed, ma'am," said the captain, to a pale young mother, who was kneeling on the floor of the deck, with her arms round both her children. "We can't be far off Wayne's Beach, and our sailors would know the way through these shoals if you were to blindfold 'em.' We have two good life-boats. It's only leering the Queen to go down by herself." The captain rubbed his shaggy' sleeve lightly acrcss his eyes as he spoke, and then turned away to issue the necessary orders. The ruddy shins of sunrise was tipping th? wares with crests of carnelian, when the first life-boat rode off, manned by true hands and fearless hearts. "Make haste!" the captain called to the men who were preparing to launch the last. "She's filling feet** "How long do jon think she will Inst?" asked Guy Dayrel calmly. 4 'Half an hour perhaps?not longer." The passengers crowded into the boat with the headlong haste of those who are fleeing from death, and she was fall, while two men yet stood on the deck of the fatal Teasel?Qaptain Boss and George Yasser, the man whose bright eyes had stolen Mary Armitage away from her first lorer. An old sailor started up from his oar. "Captain! Captain! this mnsn't be! Take this oar! I'm not each a labber as to save myself and see yon perish!" "Sit down, sir!" roared the captain. "Do you suppose discipline isn't discipline now, just as much as ever it was? I am captain of this craft, and I mean to stand by hu- to the last. Only," turning to Mr. Yas3ar, as the discomfited old salt dropped down into his seat. 'Tm sorry for you, sir! I have always expected some such end as this; but yon?" George Vassar had become deadly pale?he c'.aspied his hand to his eyes. "May God have mercy on Mary and the ti?tie ones," he uttered. \\ uli a sadden movement, Guy "DayI re) swuug himself past Aymescoart once more, on to the deck of the fastsettling ship. "Mr. Yassar," he said quietly, "take my place. Tou have a wife and chil ? " dren. I hare no one to care "whether I perish or not. Don't atop to thank me?go at once.

Day waa certainly behind time, i There we eat craning our necks to lo- : cate the glorious bird, but it was too dark to im them in the foliage of the magnolias. When the sky began to el ear np we took standing positions, and made onr necks ache by looking upward. I was the first to see the game, and this one was directly over my head; and it was only a few moments more when each, exoept the boy, was sighting along his gun barrel waiting for the word "Beady." All of ns pointed ont a splendid shot to him, bnt his eyes were stubborn and he could not see the turkey we had selected for him. One moment he would see him, and, when we were all ready, he would say "Wait," in a ; stage whisper. The turkeys had dis- ; ooTtred that something was wrong, and were sounding their signals of alarm in shrill "pits" and "puts." We were especially anxious for the boy to bag a turkey, as he had never killed one. When we did get ready to , shoot, my neck was almost broken. As ! the four reports rang out in concert, [ two fine turkeys, a gobbler and a hen, j fell to the ground, the victims of my j brother and nephew, The rest of the i flock flew away in the wildest alarm. I Everybody has seen a gobbler strut, but the pride of the male turkey was surpassed by my nephew that morn- . ing, as he shouldered his first turkey. ; ?Outing. Holiday Caadles.

Take from the stove and stir in well one-quarter teaspoon/<il saleraius, pour on well buttered plates, and before it gets too oold check off with a buttered knife. This may be improved by having a teacupful of hickory or walnut meats spread on the buttered plates, before pouring over j the hot candy. Popcorn or peanuts ! also may be used.

Dr. Ton Holleben, who comes ts Washington as the ambassador from Germany, is one of the best known diplomats in Europe. The doctor is also well known and highly esteemed in Washington, where he filled, the post of German minister from March, 1892, to September, 1893. The mission was then raised to an embassy, and Dr. ron Holleben was replaced by Ambassador Saurma-Jelisch. The new ambassador is highly educated and a most snare man. He speaks English with as much fluency as a born American or Englishman, and during his stay in Washington five years ago he won many friends in Washington society, where he was known as one of the few hacbelors of the diplomatic corps. Dr. rol Holleben has had a wide and varied experience as a diplomat. He has rep DR. VOX nOLLERF.X. resented Germany at Santiago de Chile and at Tokio. That was before his appontment to the American mission, lie is about 55 years old and has an inclination toward the pleasures of literature. He will replace Baron von Thiclnian, who is to be secretary of the German treasury. I)r. von Holleben is now minister at Stuttgart.

Guy. the founder of Guy's hospital in London, was as parsimonious in private life as he was munificent in public. A Rood story illustrative of this is told of him in connection with John Hopkins, one of his contemporaries, who was nicknamed Vulture ' Hopkins on account of his rapacious mode of acquiring his immense wealth. On one occasion be paid a visit to Guy, who, on Hopkins entering the room, lighted a farthing candle. Hopkins, on ! being asked the object of his visit, paid: "I have been told that you, sir. ! are better versed in the prudent and necessary art of saving tnan any man living, and I therefore wait on yon for j a lesson in frugality. I hare always j regarded myself as an adept in this matter, but I am told yon excel me," I "Oh.** replied Guy, "if that is all you i came to talk about, we can discuss the ' matter in the dark." and thereupon he i blew out the candle.

Foe ud Coal Oul According to the statement of Prof. x Lewes, a London fog deprives coal gas of 1L1 per cent of its illuminating power, bnt this is not so astonishing as is the fact that, under similar cirrus* stances, the searching light of an incandescent burner loses as much as , A$j 20.8 of its efficacy. The reason given ' ' by Prof. Lewes for this phenomenon is that the spectrum of both the incandescent and the electric light approaches very nearly that of the solar > spectrum, being very rich in the violet and ultra-violet rays. It is precisely these rays which cannot make their way through a London fog. To this is attributed the fact that the sun looks red on a foggy day. The violet rays $g| are absorbed by tbe son a parucies ym floating in the aqueous vapor of the atmosphere, and only the red portions of the spectrum get through. The In- ; teresting additional statement is made In this connection that the old argand . | burner is much more successful in re- # sistlng a London fog than any of its later rivals.?Science. ? Is It a compliment or a treat to this country that England Is constantly strengthening her naval forces In American waters? Every ship on the North American and West Indian sta- ^ tions whose term of service expires Is replaced by a more formidable one, and great sums are being expended in improving docks and harbor defenses. ? Why this display of strength? Snrejy - i it is not for the protection of Canada; f the most hopeless pessimist in the Dominion cannot fear an attack from the United States. But there Is scarcely more reason to fear an attack on the Uuited States by Great Britain. Prob ably the true and simple explanation is that the British Government Is build* ^ ing larger vessels now than it did form- vf erly. and, having them on hand. In sending them to foreign stations in the tf usual routine. A Sitka saloon-keeper has been arrested for selling drugged whisky to the Indians.
