“No. no!” cried all "We’ll stand to

“How were you to reply?” asked
Helen.
Tf the terms were accepted, we were
to go down; If rejected, wa were to

Helen took off her check bonnet and,
tying It to a carbine, atood up on the
rocks and waved It to the guerrillas,
who were standing below watching for
our signal, while our little command
gave as lusty a cheer as their exhaust

The first flush of excitement at tbe
rejection of the terms being over. Jack
began to show signs of Irritation, a
condition 1 attributed to the gnawing
pangs of hunger. She shook her fist
at tbe guerrillas, vowing that If abe
could ever get her papa again be should
scour tbe country till be bad captured

she would herself take lneipreefdbl«

a burst of laughter, a yell of applause,
a clapping of bauds, and 1 knew that
Jack was carrying her audience.
Then I could see the figurea below
beginning to busy themselves about
preparations for supper. Helen and
Jack took hold as they bad done once

“What la It. Buck?”

Cuba, along the line of her paiticnlar
agricultural advantages, can provide a
comfortable and reasonably profitable
living for a population of 10,000,000 of
moderately industrious citizens.
it is wnolly probable mat one of
Cuba’s greatest industries, if not her
greatest, will be the production ot
trails and vegetables for the American
market. Thirty or fortf years ago, the
Havana orange was the choice orange
of tbe market. American cuilivstion
of the iruii,—d tbe energy with which
the American output has been pushed,
have tent the Cuban orange into tbe
background. But there it no question
that the proper cultivation, in Cuba,
of the Cubao stock will result to the
production of so orange which for
juiciness, flavor, size, and sweetness
will be without u superior in the world.
The free-skinned maodarian oranges
can be uroduced to advantage, as can
the kindred fruits, the shaddock, the
grape fruit, the lime, and the lemon.
Cuba can raise all the bananas that
the United States can eat, and it is
probable that at no distant day those
concerns which, now control the trade

Knocked Down hy ▲ Partridge.
While hunting a few nights ago neyr
Salisbury, N. C.,Deputy Sheriff Krider
had the novel experience of being
knocked down by a partridge and a
narrow escape from serious Injury.
He and Chief of Police Miller were in
the woods and their doge were trailing
a ’poasum, when they flushed a covey
of partridges. Tbe birds scattered
blindly in the darkness and as they did
•o Mr. Miller, who was in advance,
heard a fall and a groan behind him.
He retraced his steps at once and found
Mr. Krider lying on his back in a
dazed condition, with his hand over hie
right eye. Both believed that Mr.
Krider must have been struck by
•tone thrown by some miscreant, for
tbe strange solution of the matter
naturally did not occnr to them at first.
All was plain, however, when Mr.
Miller, in looking for the supposed
stone, found a dead partridge lying
near where his companion had fallen,
with its neck broken. The bird’s bill
had struck Mr. Krider just above the
eye, uarrowly missing the eyeball, and
the shock of the impact' bad been suf-
icient to knock down a man much
heavier than Mr. Krider.
Here is a bird killed out of season,
>ut under such exceptional circum
stances and so altogether involuntarily
that there is no danger of Mr. Krider
being indicted for violating the game

An English naturalist says that the
speed of birds is often exaggerated.
Tbe swift, for example, has been
credited with a speed of 150 miles an
hour, aud the popular imagination
compares the fight of a sparrow hawk
with that of a cannon ball. Without
aid from the wiml, he says, the pigeon
will fty about forty miles so hour ; but
the homing pigeon may be relied on,
vnder fair conditions, to make sixty
miles an hour. On a short course the
sparrow hawk can oXitlly this, but it
frequently fails to catch smaller birds
that form its prey.

Hot* the Tariff Works —Mr.
Bryan to The Commoner ihis week
gives the best illustration we have seen
of our present tariff laws. He says:
“ Once in a while our boasted ‘Yankee
sbreWitness’ is made to play second
fiddle. A British contractor recently
perfumed a neat tnck ou no Amort
cam steel manufacturing concern. The
Engli-bman io question secured a coo-
tract for building a section of an
elevated railway In Boston. Knowing
that because of the curious operations
of the American protective tariff hq
could buy American made steel cheap
er in England than Americans could
buy it ul their own ddors he proceeded
to take advantage of the fact. - The
Englishman wrote from England to
several American structural iron works
asking bids on a certain lot of iron.
He selected the best bid'and closed the
contract. When tbe contracl was pro-
erly signed he cabled the American iron i pilot’s license,
manufacturer not to ship to Liverpool,

Abraham Lincoln’s birthplace, a
farm of 110 acres, near Hodgensville,
Ky., is to be turned into an inebriate
asylum. St. Luke’s Society, of Chica
go, has bought tbe place, aud has an
option on 350 acres adjacent. Dr.
Struble, one of the. directors of the
society, says it will be a memorial to
Lincoln, and the greatest temperance
project ever undertaken in this coun
try. .
