The 01(1 Town Clock. Upon the .square iu tho quiet town, The courthouse stands, and looking down From'the tower above is the well-known la <>t the old town clock. From its lofty plac Over the tree tops swaying tall, It patiently tells the time to all. In summer days, from the streets below, Si> dose and dense the j;reen leaves grow, Its pointing hands can scarce be seen; Iiut over the rustling boughs ol green, And mingled with joyous song of bird, Its warning voice is ever heard. Throughout each day and silent night, ??lniu the stars o erhead are gleaming ongt Kver and ever sounds tlie boll And over it.s lesson seems to tell, A lesson rung with every tone, lo the midnight watcher sad and lone. Time is fleeting, Ne'er retreating, Another day I las passed away; Gone iorevcr, Keturning never; Kvery t reasure, Kvery pleasure, That it carries, Never tarries; Time is fleeting, Ne'er retreating. " Time is fleeting," but naught heed they Who carelessly hear the bell each (lay; " Ne'er retreating" the thoughtless and guy Who make ol*their lives a holiday. " Time is fleeting," but they lorget Who laden their moments without regret As tlicy onward tly, with earthly gaining, With worldly caiC and sad complaining. " Gone iorever,." the steady knell Over and over seem- to tell; Ami they who dwell both lar and near, Can ol't the quiet teaching hear, As through the quaint and shady streets The echo lingers and repeats. . Down the river that wanders along, With a murmuring, ever-changing song, Till its shallow waters deeper grow, ()tt float the hell-tones faint and low, Till they startle the dreamer idly afloat, Who tranquily, in his gliding boat, Drifts where the shadows and sunbeams lie, Between the islands neath summer sky; And the ii.-herman hears them down in tl bay, And the hunter notes the hour ol day, As the *ott breeze lightly carries the sound Over the marshy hunting-ground, Where the lotus flowers, with spreading leave A rare and antique beauty weaves. Sadly, ah ! sadly, through the air Thev come to the hillside, still and fair;. Over the lonely, sacred spot Where many rest who hear them not; Unheeded falls the echo there, Unheeded wavers in the air, Unheeded now, but once each tone By them was heard, and loved, and known. Hour after hour of their lives had been told, Now resting together, the young and the oli So calm, so hushed, no earthly sound Will call them from that sleep profound. " Gone forever !" thus the bell fciwaycd in slow and solemn knell Till its voice was stilled and the faithful lmnd < >f the old clock fell; and ruin stands, With drear and melancholy face, Over the once-1'atniliar place. With the fleeting time and into the past, The old town clock has vanished at lost. ?Monroe Commercial. TODDLES 1 felt like :i lady that morning. I was lady. I thought, after all; quite as muc so jis Mrs. Jones, who lived in the gre: cupola house on the hill. Quite as muc of a lady, I said to myself, briskly, as dusted up my little shop, and arrange the sheeny ribbons and striped goods i the window. The window was hun with pretty lace curtains, and there wr a globe of gold-fish in it that sailed aboi as courteously and busily as though the were getting their living as head clork It was a sweet soft autumn morning the village street was {rrassy and quiet an I hummed a tune as 1 glanced cheeril out at little Toddles, fiitting about i her scarlet ribbons under the old willow outside. Bless her little rosy face! wh shouldn't 1 be happy when I've her t look after? I was happy, and I hummed a^ain tin old snatch of a tune, and nodded gayl to Toddles, wondering vaguely to myse what was going to happen that I felt s uncannily bngltf. Nothing ? simpl nothing; things wrt'e done happening t . me long since. My way was straigl and narrow, my days quiet and uneveni ful. As I sipped my coffee that morning remembered that I held the cup up t the light, and I felt a certain sense < satisfaction in the translucence of tli rare bit of china. It is so pleasant t know that one's own election may kee one aloof from the ugliness and squak of poverty. It doesn't take much to keep one pei son. of course, and I don't count Toddh for anything. It needs but the odds an ends of things?a bowl of bread an milk, a cup of coffoe, with now and the a lively bit of ribbon?to keep the litt one going famously. Yes, I always wanted to be a lad; And as I sat in my bright little room" half felt inclined to forgive Richard Gra the heart-break he gave me long ag< And, oh God! it was a heart-break, tfi if he had married me, perhaps he woul have shut me up in some gloomy fit house, to lie a lady after his fashion, 1 stifle for want of a bit of fresh air, 1 wall' softly under a thousand petty coi ventionajities, and to cease being ni own mistress. Ah! that I never coul endure. So it is, perhaps, as we that Richard left me and went off somi where?God knows where. You see, I like it?my little sho] There's something so deliiifitful in seeir the prettv jrirls of the village, with no' and then a tine lady, hanging over m dainty wares, end trying the tints ( scarlet and blue and orange with man a laugh and many a glance in the mirro I call it my reception when they pour i of a holiday afternoon. I love colors; i ? 1 1.. IU\ r giiUJl; ?WIU Ul'ilUlJ , cilivi uciiia|;.? nii^lit have been a hit of an artist, in m way, if I'd ever had the opportunit; Richard used to say so. But all! he sai many a flattering thing and many a fals in those old days. And if I ever dreamt of any higher life than contents me no1 ?well, I've siren up dreaming. For there's Toddles, so round an sweet find soft and real. She leaves ni little time for building air-castles. You s'*e, 1 love the child as if she wei my very own. For she came to me on day about four years ago a wee litt baby thing, curled up in a heap on m doorstep when I went to open the shu ters. Wherever she came from I nev< knew. Toddles never explained; si just stretched ui> her iittle fat arms t me and gurgled "Tod-od-doddle," an that was her sole introduction. It was surmised that the child Iih been dropped by some traveling circi passing through the town, and I liad e: ceJlent neighliorly advice About puttin the treasure in the foundling hospita Hut- one seldom takes <rood advice, and didn't. To toll the truth, I grew so attached i the child that I should even have bei wicked enough, I fear, to regret ar one's turning up to claim it. But that not at all likely now, after so many yea ?no, not at all likely; no more like than that Richard and I should ev meet again in this world. And thatthat is among the things that can nevi happen. It was on this wise, our parting: Richard's mother was old and feeb and miserly. She'd spent a good deal '< money on him?sent him to college, an expected, folks said, to "make sonv thing of him." She always expected \ get her money's worth out of her transai tions. Richard held her in a sort of aw somehow, though she was a little wizei cd old woman that lie could have lifitt with his left hand. But I liked him f( respecting his mother. One day we two were sitting at tw light talking of the future dreamily, i nnr urnnt " My little one," said Richard, puttir his arm about me, 44 it half seems tt bright to ever be." 44 Ever be!" I echoed. 44 Oh, Richan ' if you talk that way, it will never be." Richard smiled, but his face gre overcast. I felt that a storm was con ing: 44 Well?" I queried, seeing that he si brooding and silent. 44 Darling," he said, soothingly, 44 knew it would come hardly to you; bi * how can I go against my mother? H< poor old heart is bound up in me, Jeannette, and she will never hear to?to anything that"? " That seems to lower you," I added, co in a steely voice that seemed to cut its re, way out of my heart like a keen, cold knife. "Oh, I am a coward?a poltroon!" cried Richard, wringing his hands. " I was born to brin^ trouble on those I love. Who, who shall I leave to suffer for me now, Jeannette?" " The one who will say least about it," I answered, hardily. My heart was tlivrtMiincr litMivilv. likfl !1 flofk tllflt tiollS the hour of execution; but I made no outcrv, and we parted in that final partit, ing silently. And I have lived silently ever since. One year after that I heard that Richard's mother was dead, and then that he had married: who, I knew not?who, I curort'" not. lie had married another woman while my hist words were yet ringing in his ears?right there, before the face of the living lieaven, married another woman, and swore to love and cherish her, as lie had often vowed to ! love and cherish me! ! Rut I did not seem to feel this blow a j I had felt our parting. I just flung him i out of my heart there and then, and my ! love and my silence vanished. I looked I into the face of my misery with a smile, and I took this little shop in the village, | and worked early and late, and made it I thrive. Then, two years later, came my little Toddles to me, sitting like :i lily on my door-step, as if some angel of peace Iliad dropped her there. I nave named | her Theresa, but Toddles has always been | her own pet name for herself, and I like it because it is hers. The child has brought me peace. And i I feel no vengeance against any one now. I Nor do I rejoice that Richard's wife is ! said to have turned out ill, and spent the | wealth she brought him. But I had forgotten tiie shop in all this ! reverie and reminiscence. There was a sharp twang of the little I bell, and I heard a heavy step in the I doorway. I set down my coffee-cup ' hastily, and hurried in to confront a j great muscular fellow with a big beard and a slouched hat, whose presence seem ed fairly to wipe out the little shop. ) This was a rather different type from j my usual customers, and I was a little I shy of him. He hesitated, and seemed bewildered when I spoke to him?men never do get used to shopping?and it | was some time before I quite made out ; what he wanted. It was some sort of ie j woolen goods?a scarf or a kerchief, I 1 think. These were not very salablestock just now, and 1 had put the box containing them out of sight somewhere. While I rummaged*about, the stranger stood in j the doorway, watching me 111 a way I s,: did not like; perhaps 'he wanted to steal something. lie looked needy enough, and shabby enough. "Oh. here tliev are at last," said I, eagerly, handing down the package from a high nnd dusty shelf. i The man did not seem to hear me. He ! was looking at Toddles, darting about like a butterfly outside. i "Whose child is that?" said he, abI ruptly. It was an impudent question, and I ! felt my blood flush up hotly for a moJ } ment. But I reflected that this man ' j looked wayworn and weary; perhaps he ! had come a long journey, and left a little ! child like this at home. " It is my child," I said pleasantly. " Yours! he repeated. " Or at least," said I, " if not mine, it was left with me to be cared for." [ " Left with you," echoed the stranger. ; " Aye, so I have heard. Left with you by the wretched man, the outcast, the degraded, who knew none else oji whom to thrust his .burden when his tinseled , wife fell from the tight-rope, and died there, groveling in the sawdust?knew ' none other of whom to seek the charity than the woman who had loved him. I listened as one stupefied with opium. What did this man know or guess concerning me and mine? What object had he in view in lingering about the shop? I But I said coolly, "That is a story that 11 needs to be proved." . The stranger stooped and looked keenly \ j at me. "Verily," said he, with, a low, d sardonic laugh, "he has reaped hisre11; ward, it seems: he is both dead and forS gotten." LS I began to feel afraid of this man, who l* seemed bent upon insulting or alarming y ' me. * ' I pointed sternly to the door. "Sir," I said I, " if you are satisfied with the d goods, I beg you will take them away, y 1 I have other things to attend to." 1! For a moment after the great hulking I figure disappeared through the doorway y j of my little shop I covered my face with 0 my hands, and all the past of my life I rushed entirely over me. I had not ; outlived it yet, after all. X i Suddenly I remembered Toodles, and " j hastened to the door to look after her. ? I My customer had disappeared; the huge J I wniow iruiiK ma me runu irom view, ? but I felt relieved, for there was my little i one swinging bark and forth with the | long pendants of the willow. Only one ' instant I saw her in the sunlight?one * instant. Then came a rushing, tearing, ? ! and tramping, a terrible sound in the air, " I and a great bull, tossing his horns furi10 I pusly, and with eyes glaring madly be? | fore him, came snorting and bellowing P i up the street. The great willow was in >rj lus course, and, oh God! my little TodI dies! r", Then I l^now not whether I fainted or whether I screamed for help. I saw a ( tall figure leap out from somewhere in the very pathway of the mad animal, n and the next moment Toddles, half 'e laughing, half crying, "was nestling iVi my arms. r'- The man whom I had sent from my * door a few minutes since stood looking >' on us yearningly?the man who had > | snatched my darling from its terrible y ! iiut\ " "Both dead and forgotten," he said, y j "Oh Jeannette! Jeannette! do you not :o | know me?" ? i The rainbow ribbons in the little sliop1_ window spun dizzily round, and all J' i things grew dim before my eyes. For I 'fj j knew that Richard Gray was come back i to me. Poor and degraded and des" i serted, perhaps, he hau come back to | me. P- He lifted his hat, and, stooping, kissed i the little one, who did not resist him. " I brought you my motherless little l>", one years agonc. A beggar and a sinner ' though I was, I darea to pray your ! charity to my child, whom its mother, r- ! flying fi'om her home, would have left ": to perish among the gewgaws and |' clowns in whose company she died. I Yea, verily, mv punishment has been 'y: bitter. And shall I leave you now, ^; Jeannette, you and my child, and depart l> I forever, hateful in your eyes for all ! years to come?hateful when not for-' gotten?" kV But something filled my heart just 1 then, like the rush of a mighty river. I " looked back at my quiet life, my bright 1<: little shop, the years of silence anu of sorrow. I felt Toodle's warm heart beating against mine. He had saved }(> her. And I looked at Richard Gray, and put my hand in his. >' Since then I have tried what it is to be a lady in the far West?a lady in :i 1 log-caoin, wunoui cnina, or iHrprt, ui ie neck ribbons, and Richard says I have (! succeeded.?Harper's Weekly. id . How to Preserve Failing Eyesight. 1 Sit in such a position as will allow the light to full obliquely over the shoulder upon the page or sewing. Do not use the p eyes for such purposes by any artificial j1 light. Avoid the special use of the eyes in the morning before breakfast. Rest them for half a minute or so while readto ing or sewing, or looking at small ob>n jects, and by looking at things at a dis>>" tance, or up to the sky; relief is immedis ately felt by so doing. Never pick up any P ! collected matter from the eyelashes or ly ) corners of the eyes with the finger nail; er ; rather moisten it with saliva and rub it ~ i away with the hall of the finger. Freer ; quently p:iss the ball of the finger over i the closed eyelid toward the nose; this carries off any excess of water into the 'c nose itself by means of the little canal which leads into the nostril from each IC*1 inner corner of the eye. the canal having i a tendency to close up in consequence 01 :o the slight inflammation which attends > j weakness of eyes. Keep the feet always e j dry and warm, so as to draw any excess 1 of blood from the other end of the body. ,(i Use eyeglasses at first, carried in the vest ,r pockot, attaehed to a guard, for they are ] instantly adjusted to the eye with very little trouble, whereas, if common specks tacles are used, such a process is required to get them ready, that to save trouble l? the ayes are often strained to answer a ?? purpose. Wash the eyes abundantly every morning. If cold water is used, ; let it be flapped against the closed eyes with the fingers, not striking hard against w the ball of the eves. The moment the i- eyes feel tired, the very moment you are , conscious of an effort to read or sew, lay it aside the book or needle,' and take a walk for an hour, or employ yourself in I ' some active exercise not requiring the it close use of the eyes. ?

New earrings are made in the shape . of a Japanese lire screen. Ribbons will be used instead of ehate! laine chains this summer. Crimped linen fringe is used on many I handsome spring mantles. Some of the new gimp ornaments for outside wraps are a yart long. Crystal balls are used for the tops of silver combs and long hair pins. The new Grenadines have satin grounds traversed by threads of worsted. Colored muslins embroidered in white will be fashionable this summer. Pink and blue and garnet and cream are much used in the new ribbons. Double half handkerchiefs of China crape are* worn for bonnets in Paris. Batistes in strides of Roman colors on a dark ground are shown for summer. Shirred or plaited bibs are used to fill up the openings in pompadour waists. Colored lawns worked with white floss-sprays are a new form of an old style. Doncaster rep, corduroy and plain cloth are equally in favor for spring jackets. An open scroll is the design of some new dress goods imitated from a Japan ese stuff. Some of the new silk grenadines are 01 satin gauze traversed by worsted threads of the same color. I Electric light, a new color, that is neither blue nor lavender nor gray, and upon the whole not very pretty, is announced. ? Fancy woolens made with silks or brocades will probably be made up in Paris with box-plaited skirts, turnedback tunics and jackets with waistcoats. The new wreaths, which will, it is said, be the only wear for full dress this summer, are composed of sprays of small flowers and grasses, set in quillings of lace. They are quite devoid of stiffness. The sleeve to be worn with white jackets this summer will, it is said, be gathered in three places, and ornamented with three frills of lace. This is an adaption of the style used with transparent sleeves during the winter. Some of the new bonnets are encircled by wreaths set close to the edge of the brim, and arranged so that the stems do not show at ail. These wreaths begin j with single blossoms at the back of the bonnet and grow thicker toward the j front. Sometimes wreaths are placed l close around the crown and divided by a I folded two-toned ribbon. A DUtlmtion With a Difference. A lady who recently arrived in this I city from Japan, where her husband is a i flourishing physician, has had a most [ amusing experience. Before-leaving Tokio she purchased material for a travI eling dress, for which she paid one dollar I and a half per yard. She had it fashioned into a garment, and proceeded blissfully on her journey. Arriving in San Francisco, she found the fabric of wljieli her j dress was composed was selling for one | dollar per yard. Her appreciation of it ! therefore decreased one-third. At Salt. I Lake City the same article was selling i for sixty cents, and she began to think I that she did not look at all stylish. When she reached Chicago she found it I displayed in the shop windows with the i announcement: "Only thirty cents." I She began then to consider it common, j but when from her carriage window, as she proceeded up Third avenue, New j York, she beheld it flaunting in the i breeze in front of a third-rate shop, with i a soiled card pinned to it, on which was j inscribed the legend, "fifteen cents," she i concluded that it was vulgar. She could l endure it no longer. She gave it to the i chambermaid at the hotel, and then nro! ceeded at once to Stewart's and bought a ; new traveling suit to come to Boston ! with.?Boston Courier. The Demand for Sealskin. j Some thirty years ago sealskin was ! common enough. Boxes were covered ' with it, gloves and driving-rugs were i made of it, costennongers and cabmen j cut their caps from it. Then came a I time when some cunning furrier discovi ered how to dye it a rich dark brown, j and to give it that exquisite soft and ! downy texture which is its chief charm. | At once ladies adopted the luxury. It | Was soon found that for cloaks, jackets, | muffs, dainty little hats, collars, cuffs, I. e. J DH?S, pOlTt'IIlUIIlKWc:?, iui it iiiuustiiivi utnv.1 i articles of feminine use, it was the most J delightful, the most beautiful, the most indispensable of all possible materials, j The demand for it increased with a i rapidity almost marvelous, and the | fashion, instead of wearing itself out, | has, if anything, steadily increased. In! deed, the best Alaska sealskins, like the ! furs of the sable, the silver fox and the j Russian sea otter, command an altogether I fancy price, and a handsome jacket of ' close texture and uniform color, with no i white hairs to break the continuation of its tint, will fetch as many guineas as J five-and-twenty years ago it would have I fetched half-crowns. The result is that the luckless seals have had waged against them now for several years what practiI cally amounts to a war of extermination. Destruction of Forest lYees. A writer who has been making a study | of forest trees, their rapid destruction in j this country, and their effect on climate ! and health, savs, that since 1835 the for j est area of the" Western hemisphere lias decreased at the yearly average rate of } 7,600,000 acres, or about 11,000 square : miles, and that this rate in the United ! States alone has advanced from 1,600 j square miles in 1835 to 7,000 in 1855, and I 8,400 in 1876, while the last two years ' have scarcely been less exhaustive. ! Statistics for eighty years previous to I 1835 show tUat we have been wasting the j supply of moisture to American soil at the average rate of seven per cent, for | each quarter of a century during the last 125 years, and that we are now approachling the limit beyond which any further decrease will materially influence the I climate of the entire continent. Many ! Eastern regions, such as Afghanistan, j Persia, India and Asia Minor, once i possessed of a tine climate and abundant harvest, arc now often scourged by pes; tilence and famine, and it is altogether probable that their misfortunes began i ,.r Willi lilt' illSiipptfurHiici; ui Linn forests. It is quite likely that we shall suffer in climate, fertility and health before a great while if we continue to destroy our trees as recklessly as we have done, and 1 it behooves us to be warned in time. What has happened elsewhere may certainly happen here. Indeed, there is great danger of it, for we know by cxi perience that fertile lands have grown sterile by loss of trees, and that sterile lands have in turn become fertile by systematic planting. A certain proportion ; of well-wooded, as well as of arable and pasture lands, is essential to our material prosperity, and this proportion can never , be kept up unless regular tree-planting be adopted as a set-off to the excessive J destruction incessantly going on. For ; 150 years we have been felling the forest; ! for the next 150 we should try to restore what we have taken away.?Philadelphia J Enquirer The Blind Mare and her Foal. j Here is an instance of " instinct" which i shows, I think, that there is no difforence | whatever between the reason of animals ; and that of men. A mare here had her j first foal when she was ten or twelve | vears old. She was blind of one eye. i The result was that she frequently trod | upon the foal, or knocked it over when i it happened to be on the blind side of ! her, in 'consequence of which the foal | died when it was three or four weeks old. ! The next year she had another foal; and ^ye fully expected that the result would be the same. But no; from the day it j was born she never moved in the stall ; without looking round to see where the loal was, and sue never irou upon 11 ur iryured it in any way. You see that reason did not teach her that she was killing her first foal; her care for the second was the result of memory, imagination and thought, after the foal was dead and before the next one was horn. I The only difference that I can see be tween the reasoning power of men and f of animals, is that the latter is applied , only to the very limited sphere of proi viding for their bodily wants, whereas ' -. - ^ ?i ?* ?c! tntiX UI II1UI1 umuiiuju n viiso amuuui ui i other objects besides this.

I I CHASED BY AN ALLIGATOR. _ | SwlmmlUK tor Life and Kleaping by I>fi Intr lu the IVarbuddha. " Alligators," said Mryor Sprinkle; " < course tnere are alligators in India. Ha the rivers up-country swarm with then and they abound in the tanks, as th large shallow ponds so numerous on tL plains are called. In Kurrachee, clos to the entrance to the Persian gulf, the have a tank stocked with what they ca tame ones; and visitors can (and d< buy goats for a rupee each, and thro' them in to the reptiles. And their rusl ing at a goat and tearing it to pieces is spectacle to make a man forswear fresl water bathing in India. " Yet the majority of people in Indii and especially the natives, hold that a alligater is not dangerous to a huma being. I have heard the same thing sai in ilorida, and, for all I know, it ma} for the most part, be true. But I had a nrlnnMinMA An/?A llinf ft f\Y\ TT * ?/"?ft /I lYlfl flir ilUYCllLUlU ULIV.V^ mai tvnnuvtu *?*vy v*?c a man who wants to bathe had bettc content himself with the convenience afforded, however imperfectly, by hi own bath-room than venture into a rive inhabited b(y alligators. " About sixteen miles from .Tubbulpor are the Marble rocks, one of the sights c the Central provinces. The Narbuddlu which at that point is very deep an narrow, flows slowly for about naif mile between perpendicular walls c pure wh.te marble. Two hundred fet overhead, the rocks on either side tape toward each other, and when the moor light is streaming down through the nai row aperture, illumining the river an white cliffs that border it, the excursion ist, floating in a flat-bottomed boat o: the water, finds himself amid a seen that may well make him doubt whethe Hans Andersen's pictures of fairy lan are wholly imaginary. 44 One Sunday morning a few years ag I and two friends started in a bulloc wagon for the Marble rocks. The Nai . V It DUimiia is :i wuuuiig nvw, uuu nv miles from .Tubbulpore we lmd to cros it for the lirst time in a large boal When we readied the fording-place w were all terribly heated and tired, for i was scorching July weather, and we d( eided to rest for an hour or two unde the trees, and then make up our mind whether we would proceed or not. Mj self and one of my companions wer soon sufficiently recovered to resume ou ourney, but the third member of ou party was unable or unwilling to go on so, leaving him in charge of the wagot I, the other excursionist, and the drivei walked alon^ the bank dlf the river witl our guns. We shot nothing, for at tha hour everything with fur or feather on i was sheltering itself from the torrid heat but we came to a small canoe tied to th shore, and determined to cross the rive in it. The native driver in vain tried t< dissuade us, for these canoes are th hardest things in the world to manage and this one, moreover, was intended t hold one man only. Nevertheless we go in and pushed oif. In less than thirt seconds we were all three struggling i he water, and, though we got ashor without much trouble, we lost one of th guns, and the other was made useless fo the day. " It now occurred to us that it woul be wise to hang up our saturated clothe to dry, while we bathed in the sacre waters of the Narbuddha. I asked th native whether there were any alligator in the river, and he said ' Yes, plenty o them, but they wouldn't hurt us,' and thus fortified, we were soon swimmim from the shore. "The river, where we entered it, i about three hundred yards wide, am was running, as the Narbuddha seems to do all along its course, very sluggishly The opposite side is a long, low sam bank, and behind that is a dense jungle I was very proud of my powers jus ; swimmer in those days, and I started to go across. "Three hundred yards is no great dis tance, you will say, for a good swimme to traverse in the water. No; but wit! an Indian sun beating down upon m; uncovered head, I felt before I had go two-thirds of the way over that I ha< made a blunder that might cost me nr life. I swam on, however, and landei on the sand bank with my head dizz. and my eyes blurred?very fair indica tions that a sunstroke is threatening. " I had drifted some distance dowi the river, and now I walked back, get tine worse rather than better, until was a little way above the point fron which I had started. In the middle c the river was a small island, with a fe\ withered palm trees on it, and to this tried to swim. I swam slowly, frequent ly ducking my head under the water and when-I was within sixty or sevent, yards of the down-stream end of th island, and feeling in better condition, saw, coming around a point thatjuttei some distance out from the sid of the island, what looked like th end of a thick broomstick, floating per pendicularly down the stream. I uidn' wait to examine it, for I knew at th first glance that it was the horn thu rises from an alligator's nose. I altera my course at once, swimmine diagonal 1 down the stream. I passed the island and got over nearly a third of the dis tance to the shore before I ventured t ook around. Up to that moment th alligator had not seen me; but before could resume my race for the land par of the great head surged heavily overth water, and then, horribly and unraistak ably, the horn began to move towan me. " I began to swim for my life, witl the odds altogether against me. In hal a minute I looked over my shoulder am saw that the brute was covering tlire leet to my one. xie was uuuut siai, yards behind me, and the shore wa probably eighty yards away. It wa evident that I had no chance; but swam desperately. In a quarter of : minute I looked around again. The al ligator was very close to nie then, saw his eyes glistening, for he had raisei his head partly out of the water, and heard the slight swash of the river as li forged through it. But another souni was in my ears too?a sound like th ringing of bells and the heating of i blacksmith's hammer on the anvil.
