Pcauty often depends on
plumpness; so does comfort;
so does health. If you get
thin, there is something
wrong, though you may feel
no sign of it.
Thinness itself is a sign;
sometimes the first sign ;
sometimes not.
The wav to tret back I
/ t o
plumpness is by cakkkul
living, which sometimes includes
the use of Scott's
Kmulsion of cod-liver oil.

^3^r?l I 'he scene inside
\>j J the church was aw*
, lvJh-^V^^>5'/' fill iu its weird ini/?
^rr^r?Vkrt prcssivcncss. The
' *" v iurid glare of a few
torches which were stuck at intervals
against the pillars revealed the forius of
men sitting and lying on tiie seats and
lloor in every attitude of dejection and
despair. I'p and down the aisles the iron
shod heels of the sentries rang upon the
pavement. The greater part of the prisoners
were silent,or only inoaniug with the
pain of recent wounds; some were praying,
one was raving,mad w ith terror. And
in truth he and Ins companious had good
cans f??r fear, for their conquercr was
Feveisham, the (teneral of the Royalists,
w hose only mode of dealing with a rebel
was to hang or shoot him without more
ado, and who was only waiting for the
daybreak to begin the work of slaughter.
A few only kept their resolution?
among them two were sitting together
in the shadow of the pulpit steps. Both
of these ren had been conspicuous in
the light, and both knew well that they
must die at daybreak.
The elder of the two was a matt of
about thirty live, with powerful thickset
frame, and strong and rugged features;
a bad man to have against one,
one might say. lb- was by trade a horsebreaker,
and a ureal lciri of his liminnu
was to break in tliu wild rolls of the
inardi. I lis companion was some six or
eight years younger. His figure was tall
ami slight, hut finely made, and Ins face
was singularly liamlsomo. Ho w:is the
swiftest intiiier in the West of England,
perhaps in the whole kingdom. His name
was David Dare; that of the elder man
John tjuixarvyn. Hoth were natives of
the tow ii of Axhridge.lmt, until the day
before, tluy had heeu strangers to each
other. Chance had made them comrades
in the contest, where they had fought
side by side and where the same troop of
(loyalists had seized them both.
The two were silent. Qttixarvyn had
pulled out a short black pipe, had tilled
and lighted it and was now smoking
liaiiijuiliy. His companion had also
yullcd out something from his breast,bu*.
It was not a pipe; it was the portrait of
i* beautiful young girl. He took a long
look at the lovely face,a look which said
farewell
(Jui.virvvn watched him. 111 the dim
light in which they at he could not see
the features of the portrait, but ho
gues-ed how the ease stood.
"Dooi fellow!" he said, with more
tenderness than would have heeu expected
from his looks. Thou, after a
minute's : ileuce, he went on, as much
to himself as to the oth_-r. "And yet
my case is harder. 1 was in love?lam
in love, Hod help me!?and 1 also liavo
her portrait in my breast. Whit would
1 give if I could i >ok on it as you can
look on yours! '
Dare looked at him with interest.
"What!'' lie said, "have you also tho
same trouble?a poor girl who will go
diOiael..! wlien sit... Iw.'.-u ..r i...- I
. -.IV nv.ito V?4 n IIHU il(?
h&p|'i lied to you?"
"No," sai.I tlie other bitterly; "she
will not ?o distracted; she has had
enough of use, and 1 shall have the pain
ol dying unrcvcnged upon the knave
who robbed me of her."
It was strange to see how in a moment
his eyes had grown ablaze with
passion. The young man looked at him
in astonishment.
"Who was iff" he inquired.
"Wh > was it ?" echoed the other. "Do
you think if I knew tha1. that I should
now have cause to writhe at dying without
crying quits with him? No, I do
not know him. I only know she loved
me, that she cooled toward tue; that
when I asked her plainly whether alio
had found a younger and a better looking
mau she confessed that it was true
ami threw herself upon my generosity to
set her free fi out our engagement. I
d <l -< in a frenzy of mad passion. Hut
when I asked her for his name she would
not tell me, fearing, I dare say, that I
might twist his neck. I should soon
have found him,hut then this war broke
out and in iny rage I could not keen I
myself from rushing to flic tight to cool
my blood with blows. Ami so here I
:im, going fo lie shot at daybreak. But
1 swim!' fo heaven if f only had that fellow
in my |> ?wcr for one brief minute I
colli I die contented. "
"Yon are. right," said the other; ''1
should feel the miiiic."
(Ju.xarvyn drew a portrait from his
breast aid held it out to his companion.
"l/?ok," be said, "is this a face to jilt
a man? though it is one to drive him
crazy. I.ot me look sit yours?it is not
more inuocciit than this one, I dare
swear."
The young man took the portrait and
at the same ti r.c handed him his own.
Each looked in silence at the portrait in
his hand?in a silence of amazement, of
stupefaction. The two portraits represented
the sumo person I
t^uixarvyn was the first to break the
silence.
"Wliil!'' lie said, drawing a deep
breath and bursting into a low laugh,
which was both tierce ami glad, "you,
was it? To tbiuk that i have fouud vou
after nil! Fale is kinder to uio tbaa )
fancied."
The other returned his gaze.
4 4 Well," he said, 4tit was I, it appears
though I never knew it, nor suspected
it. And," ho added situply, 44it luu
been uo one's fault."
44J<o one's fault!"
44No, no one's. Mary Sold on liked
you, but she did not love you, and when
we uiet she found out her mistake.
You frightened her with your mad
humors. Without mentioning your
name she told iur the whole story. You
could not make her happy, ami I could;
that's the whole case. Do you blame
icr?"
44No," said Qulxarvyn, thrusting the
ortrait back iuto his breast, ,4I don't.
Itut 1 have sworn to bo equal with tho
nan who turned her mind against me?
I will never believe he acted by fair
ncans?and I am going to do it. DeFend
yourself; 1 give you warning."
Moth lueu sprang to tbeir feet at the
Rime instant, and stood glaring at each
otlur. At that moment there wa?
heard outside the church the rattle of a
drum.
Only the rattle of a drum. But tho
sound struck them motionless as figures
turned to stone. Nor was the effect on
their companions less remarkable. There
w;n a mommas silence m tno cuurcil,
deep us the silence of the dead; then a
movement?u long tin ill of horror. That
summons meant that day was breaking,
and III it their hour was come.
The guards sot instantly to work to
prepare the first hatch of prisoners to bo
led out of the church. Dare and Quixarvyn
were among tho first seized. With
about a do/.cu others they were marched
into the open air. Tho gray dawn was
scarcely giving way to the first streaks
of sunrise as they passed out of the
churchyard gates; hut the whole village
was wide awake uud in a tumult of excitement;
indeed, there had been little
sleep that night. Every window was
alive with terror-stricken gazers as the
party of doomed men, surrounded by a
baud of soldiers, were hurried through
the narrow streets aud out upon the
open moor.
At the border of the moor sat an
otlicer on horseback, surrounded by a
troop of soldiers. Here tho party
halted and the guatds saluted. Tho
otlicer was a man of about forty, whoso
dandified appearance, which was as trim
as that of a toy soldier newly painted,
showed eddly in the midst of soldiers
stained with battle. This was Lord
Feversham?a man in whoso nature
vanity, callousness and love of pleasure
were about equally combiucd. ilisfuco
was gay with pleasant expectation us the
rebels were drawn up before him.
"Good!" he remarked. "These were
all ringleaders, wero they? Sergeant
John, draw up your firing party and
shoot down every man of them."
The order was instantly obeyed. The
filing party was draw up; the prisoners
were ranged in line at a lew paces dis
lance. At ouo extremity of the Hue
l);ivi<l Dure ami John CJuixarvyn fouud
ihcmsclvcs once more sidcHjy side.
An oltieer who sat on horseback ot
Fcvei sham's rii^lit hand observed them.
"I know those two," he said, pointinn
b> them with his linger. "Pity two
such fellows should be done for. One
>f them is the best runner in the couutry
side, and the other the best rider."
"Eh? What?" said Feversham, standing
up in his stirrups. "Hold there a
moment, Sergeaut; I spy a chance of
gallant sport. What say you, Major??
i race between these two hcross the
moor, the one on foot, the other mounted.
Will you back the runuer?'*
The Major was a man of some hutnauity.
Ilcrctlcctcd for a moment.
"Agreed!" he said. "And to insure
that both shall do their best let the winner
haye the protnhe of his life."
Feversham received this proposal with
bv no means a good grace, for to spare a
rebel hurl him to the soul. But the
delightful prospect of seeing two men
racing for their lives and of being able,
after all, to shoot the looser, at length
reconciled him to the scheme. Ho gavo
his orders and the two prisoners were
led out of the line.
Out upon the moor, about a quarter
of a mile away, stood a solitary trco.
This was selected as the starting point.
A double line of troopers was drawn up
Biivtmiuu iroui metroes 10 uiespot where I
the General was stationed, leaving a j
space between them like a racecourse
some yards wide. At the end of the
course Feversham and the Majcr sat op.
j-ositc each other. Whichever of the
tivo competitors should pass between
them first would be rewarded with his
life and liberty.
And what were the sensations of tho
pair while these preparations wero in
progress?
David Dare, standing before tho muskets
of the tiring party, had heard the
strange proposal witli a sudden thrill of
hope, so keen that it was almost liko a
pain. Then for a moment his heart fell
again, lie knew his own speed of foot,
but he knew also that ngaiust a fleet
horse urged by a skillful rider spurring
for dear life his chance was likely to be,
small. Htill there was hope again and he
could do his best. More ho could not
do, though success meant life?and life
with Mary Seldon.
In the meantime a trooper had dismounted,
nud Quixnrvyn, armed with
whip and spurs, having taken his place
in the saddlo. the hnran ion? 1ml lm -
, ? ...... ?J ?
couple of soldiers lo the starting point.
Unlike his rival,Quixarvyn's face showed
no elation. For one moment, on hoaring
the proposal, a gleam had come into
his eyes, hut now he rode with down
bout head, as if lost in thought. A sentence
scenic I to he constantly running
in his head ?the sentence used by I>are
in their quarrel in the church?"You
could not make her happy,and 1 could."
lie muttered the words over twenty
titiKs. It was not until the tree was
reached and the horse was halted with
his head toward the spot where Feversham,
discernible far off between the
lines, sat waiting, that he started, roused
himself, anil looked about him.
David Dare was standing on Ms right,
stripped to the waist and without his
shoes, ready for the starter's signal.
Quixarvyn's guards dropped the horse's
bridle; and Sergeant John, who stood
between tno two competitors, drew a
pistol from his bolt to give the signal.
The excitement at that moment was
intense. Not a sound was heard in the
still morning air,but nil down the double
lines were faces fixed intently on the
two competitors. Fcvcrshnm and tho
Major, with glasses at their eves, sat
motionless as statues.
The Sergeant raised his pistol. The
report rang out.

sight; tliey saw th<f*ruuuer nerve himself
for a last ctfortUftd close upon the
goal, dash puslMsdBiorto and past tho *
judges and fall hflHimg on tho turf. c
At that scene, iUbpito of discipline,a P
frantic cheer broke f9rth along the liuo. n
Kven Fevcrshaiu hlntfelt smiled grimly, i
as one who, though he had just lost a t
bet, had gained it4 full equivalent iu 4
pleasurable excitomcQt. c
The winner, who had fallen {Minting i
and exhausted, was raised into a sitting c
jjoslure by two troopprs, and in a few I
seconds he was able, though still weak s
and dizzy, to staud upon hit feet and a
look about him- "*i. ... t
A few paces Off his beaten rival stood a
beside his horse, bare looked at him, t
and their eyes met. Qnirarvyn's faco a
bore an almost ini|>eixseptiblc smile ;but it c
was not this, but something in his look 1
which the other could not have dcllnod, i
which struck him backward like a t
shock. lie staggered back a pace or
two, bewildered by the light which
broke upon his mind. Then he stepped a
up to his rival's sidc,aud the guards, who t
saw no CUU3U to interfere, falling back a
little, he put his mouth close to ljuix- <
urvyn'8 ear: 4 [
"You pulled that horse," he said. 1
Quixarvyau looked at him, but
answered not a word. 1
"You let mo win," tire other weut on,
his voice breaking. "For her sake you J
did it." ' I
Quixurvyn drove his nails ' intt?*liis
palms, ho had acted, he was acting, not j
without a bitter cost.
"Make her happy," he said, briefly.
As he spoke he turned away and strode
swiftly to iiis old position nt the head of (
the line of prisoners, before which tho
firing party was again drawn upT
Dare tinned his back upon tho scene 1
and thrust his fingers in his ears. Never- 1
theless, he could ptill hear with horrible '
distinctness tho Sergeant's loud, clear
voice, with an interval between tho
words?
"Ready!"
"Present I"
"Fire!"
Almost as the word" wns given cnmc
the crash of the report. Moved bv an
impulse which he could not conquer he
turned around with n shudder. The
soldiers were lowering their smoking
muskets, aud a thick white cloud hung
above the line of the prisoners stretched
upon the ground. At t he extremity of
the lino Quixarvyu lay upon his lace,
with his rijjht hand clenched upon a
Eortrail whtrtrhe had taken Iro n his
reast, aud a bullet through his heart.?

In their journey up the streams tho
first,run of tish push on rapidly to tho
upper pools and headwaters, 100 miles
or uiore,unless prevented by iu&urmountable
falls, with which most of the Labrador
streams are well provided. Hero
fish have been caught sixty miles abovo
the estuary before one has been taken iu
tidal water. Home of the former remain
in the lower pools and aro joined by
others as the run progresses. Why is
this? Have tho fish any remembrance of
where they spent their youthful days,
aud remain there while others pass them?
It is now received as uu undoubted fact
that every fish knows its own river, but
1 go further than that, and think every
fish has a particular place in the river
where it wishes to remain. Were all the
salmon in the ilescigouche to push on to
its headwaters, would not the greater
portion of the river he barren? Tho turmoil

Cnnght a Great Eagle.
P. Marker, who is working out at A.
II. Smith's sawmill on It.fie Creek, seta
large trap, thinking to catch a monster
>K>ar, whose tracks were seen in the
neighborhood. Several days after he
went out to look at his trap, but instead
of the bear he found a largo eagle, the
largest, pefimps, over seen in the Itocky
Mountains. The eagle had been caught
' in the powerful jaws of the trap by one
leg just above the clnws. lie had dragged
the immense (rap, which was secured to
a log by a chain, into some brush moro
than twenty-five feot from the spot where
trapped, and was dead. Ho large and
strong wash'.t'leg that it was not broken.

Flights of Insects.
Dr. Marcy, the eminent French physiologist,
has been studying the flight of

indicate that wings of insects in flight by
meeting obliquely tho resistance of the
