That other vagabond who maj be considered as being vaguely referred to at the head of this ehapfcr has no pos? sible kinship with Liai who has been desultorily sketched. Yet the two j ! stand together in my mind iu a kind of j I vague relationship ot" character. I was j I not surprised at tay first sight of a j I coyote, but he grew greatly upon rae j afterwards. It was his voice. Ile is i but a degenerate wolf--the weakest of I his family sa%? in the ono respect re? ferred to-but he is ac old and persist? ent acquaintance of every frontiersman, j ten times as numerous and prominent 1 ia every recollection of that far time of j loneliness and silence as any other beast. If you visit Lincoln Park, at Chicago, you will find a speers* -pen devoted to the comfort and happiness of this little gray outcast of the wilderness; and i may add that he does not appear there to any advantage whatever. On the "wide plains where there was nothing, apparently, to eat, he was. for a coyote, usually in good condition. Eis coat was tolerably smooth sometimes, and he was industrious and alert. Here, where he is regularly fed at the public expense, lie rs so shabby that one hesi? tates to becacgnt locking at him as one goes by. There is that about an ani? mal th*.t expresses unhappiness as plainly as it is expressed by men, aud the Lincoln Park coyote is unquestion? ably the mest abject specimeu of his en? tire disreputable family. The reader will understand that in all I may have to say abor** the little rep? robate I do not refer for any particulars ' to that incarcerated and unhappy vaga I bond just mentioned. On the Contrary, j he was the first sensation of my earliest j border experiences. He came the first j night, and every night thereafter for j several years. I greta to know him i well, and havo had -tuvay a brief and solitary interlude of miugled amuse? ment aud vexation on his account, when there was nothiog else on earth ' to laugh at or be sorry about. ? often ' have shot at him, usually at very long range, but never to ray knowledge j killed or even scared him. It is well. understood that he always knows j I whether or not you have with you a gun, j J and will be distant or familiar accord- ! Ingly. But finally exasperated by a I wariness so constant, I have sought j revenge by a form of murder that I do j not now claim upon reflection, was en ! tirely in self-defence or perfectly justifi? able, and which to this day rem?ins a red stain upon an o?l i?rwise fair reputa? tion. I killed twenty odd of him in a ? single night with insidious strychnine I and a dead mule, and iu fhe morning j was astonished not so much at the ? j slaughter as ut the faet that be had not suspected the somewhat woru expedient, ? and avoided the banquet, j The trouble with him is, that he I does not avoid anything that may be imagined to be good to eat. If there was ever au animal preternaturally and continually hungry, it was the old j titne coyote of the plains of Western j Kansas and the mountains and plateaus I of Southern New 3Iesico. Yet no one J ever saw a starved e yote, or found a j dead one. The odor of the camp-fire ! frying-pao reached Irin a long way u-fT, j and was irresistible. He crept nearer i and nearer, as the evening passed, and j finally the camp was surrounded by a ; gray cordon who crouched and licked their jaws, and-kept still and waited. ; But when the little fi -e was dead and the voices had ceased, and every man ? ?ay wrapped in slumber and bis blank? et?, the tuneful tide of his nature would get the better of him, and he ? Legan tu fa; a try whine. He r?as get- , ting the key-note, and ascertaining the pitch. The first faint yelp, imprudently , uttered, affected his companions as yawning does men, and now a still hun? grier orrs gives utterance to a screech . so entirely coyotish that the example is ? irresistible Then pandemonium ! awakes 3v?ch vagabond rises up, sits j j upon his tail, elevates bis ehio, and | ? ! gives utterance to a series of yelps that j ( j rise in crescendo, regardless of time, or j ; measure, or interval, or the lateness of ! the hour. Then, when the camp was 1 new. and the men were beginners in that strange and lonely life that often kept its unexplained and indescribable charm for them ever afterwards, there ! ! would be responsive sleeplessness and , I profanity. The hardest ordeal was to i become fina-iy accustomed to this night? ly pandemonium, which no effort could ?prevent., no vigilance avoid. The first j effect was to he slightly, though pri j vately. frightened. The next was to , intensify theft cling of lonesomeness, j Olio hiy in torment, silent, sleepless, wondering if it was a common thing, and if it were possible to yelp a human creature to death in the course of time. ; i Then one talked to his companions, and j expressed himself in a couple of lan- j ' guages. The mo<*t futile of all toi! i : B v* t would be 22 attempt to drive t&e?ingers away. Silent only for a mom...., they would ail come back again and make up for lost time. This is how the early wanderers in what is destined to be the garden of the I nion first made the ac? quaintance of the most characteristic animal of the country, and this is why he dwells in the memory of every mau who ever slept beneath the sparkling dome west of thc Missouri the sweet sleep of toil and health-a sleep that by-aad by was uninterrupted by all the night-sounds the wilderness might io vent except the stealthy footfall of some human stranger. And when tho gray vagabond had be? come an accustomed nuisance he began to exercise his real ca'?ng ; f->r all h?^ i other modes of obtaining a livelihood are HM re by-play to hi actual business, j which is stealing. !n this line ho is ? something preternatural He had ,:? those (ia\s a remarkable liking for nar ness, straps, raw-hide, saddles, boot -. Ile chewed the lariat from the pony's neck, and would steal a saddle and gnaw it beyond ase or recognition by ! the owner. He would walk backward : ?.nd draw any tiling that had a rancid j smell a mile or so from where he found j , it. He was accjsed of deliberately drawing the cork and ??pillirig the horse ? liniment, aud of then lapping the Huid j from toe ground regard "lesa of soase- j queaces. He would chew a belt of cartridges tor the sake of the tallow with which they were coated, and i them out again in a dilapidated pilt sheet metal. Vagabond luck sa bini from having the top of his hi blown off during this meal ; and ? h; known a Mexican youth to be killed trying to straighten some of them again. Whips aud thongs were da ties: chewed, swallowed, and diges without danger or difficulty. 1 owner tvas nuder the necessity of lo? ing after his boots more carefully wi they were off than when they wem? < and axle-grease was a precious comm? ity stored for safe-keeping with i teamster's spare shirt, in some arcani of the equipage where the utmost d: genoe would not reveal it. lt was a most desolate country, wbi silent leagues bore no sustenance, a whose creatures, save him, were fe He was everywhere, and the secret his existence lay ic hrs one virtue industry. He gathered a liveliho from the things despised of all othe and he seasoned it with content a made it answer. Never a beetle 01 lizzard crossed his path unchas* Plainsmen said that when he encoi tered one of "the iittie land-turtles or ti rapins, then common, he stayed with until it died and the shell came off. 1 killed the virulent little prairie ratt snake, also plentiful enough, by seizi it in the middle and snapping its he off with a single jerk, as one crack? whip. But if he had been bitten would always have recovered. ? chased jackass rabbits in pairs, ai while one ran straight after the rabi the other would cut across the angl and thus the two would run down , animal that, when really on bcsiness able to fling his 'beeb deKs'ively iu t face of the best bred greyhound. Ai when they had caught him there w always a controversy. No coyote ev divided honorably. That ' bon among thieves," so often mentione was not in bis education. He suck? eggs-all that he could find ; and wh< anything died within ten miles or so 1 kuew it. He was contemporary wi tte bison and was the bison's assassit for when age and decrepitude overtot the shaggy bull, and three or four lau and grizzled companions went off t gether, he and his companions literal nagged them to death cue by one. the veteran lay down, they bit him. A long as he remained on foot they fo lowed and teased him. When he diet they fought over and ate him, denyin even a morsel to the buzzards and r veos. They followed the indian hun ing-parties, thankful for the morse that fell to them-, which wereTiot many for the noble red man was himself r disdaioer of viscera: he included tl: whole internal ecouomy under the po: sible head of tripe, and if io haste a! it raw-; and all 'he left cf a dead buffal was a hard-earned morsel even for coyote, if he had come far to get it. And when the white hunter cam? then was the time of feasting for cam Intrans in all his squalid days. He wa the only creature benefited by a cease less slaughter of about twenty years ; slaughter which meant nothing but passion for killing, and which, lcavin, every carcass where it tell, in abou that time exterminated tbe biggest most imposing, and most numerous c the wiid beasts of America. By-and-by the railroads began t stretch their lonesome lines across th plains, and the settlers began to come For a certain time the coyote seemed ti retire before them, and there seemed i prospect for his final extermination Not he. When the cattle men an? pioneers grew too plentiful and meddle some : wheo the new-comer began ti lie io wait at night for the protection o the pigs and chickens reared in hopi and toil"; and when the unhesitating shot gun was the companion of bii vigils, sir coyote began to come bael east and re-occupy the region he h ac left. But under changed conditions He ib an animal of mcutal resource ami acumen, and he changed his life, it ii almost useless to add that he became worse. Middle and eastern Kansai have him in considerable numbers now, and it is noticeable that whereas he once had the impudence to sit aud bark at the intruder like a dog as he passed by, he is now seldom seen or heard. Then he was merely a thief; now he is a freebooter besides. Ile once burrow? ed in the hill-top, and launched his family upon the ??or!d in a compara? tively open and respectable manner, equipped only with teeth, instinct, and perseverance, confident of their future. He has now retired to the woods 'iat line the streams, and joined that dis? reputable brush society which was uever very respectable among cither coyotes or men. Ile is clannish. Gen? eration after gene-ration stick together in the same retired locality, and sally forth at night among a population greatly richer in eatables than any he was formerly accustomed to. Ile no longer wanders to an J fro through a vastness iu which his personality was in keeping, and his slanting eyes and three-cornered visage now find furtive occupation beside fence-chinks and through cracks and knot holes. He knows a thousand devious ways which ail in tiie end lead to tho barn-yard. It is a bleak time with him when he is forced to resort to the catching of mice again; but when I see him loafing on the sunny side cf thc stacks in a distant field I know what, ho is there .for. and wish him luck for old acquaintance' >ike. Strangest cf all, he has almost lost his voice, and the era of free concerts is over. Down at the bottom of a ravine, perhaps immensely tickled at some toothsome ?nd, he sometimes so far for? gets himself as to give a yelp or two This feeble demonstration usually at? tracts the attention <'f others than these intei; I 'd. a:;d perhaps the farmer's boy, the inevitable mongrel dog with ccek ears and phenomenal activity, and the frecui at fowling-piece harass him greatly for th? tim? being. But it is ?j'it t') supposed that he has lost his ancient qualifications for the perform? ance of characteristic exploita Ile merely suppresses them f>>r the pres: nt | bccp-iise it is his interest to do so. V er- ? satile, persistent, and patient, he al? most deserves respect for his uncom? plaining acceptance of the conditions i ...f a changed V7orid, ii'j contempt for public opinion, ?n? ?he common-sos?? which led him lo decline io follow a 15 his contemporaries into thc limbo of ex- j termination. When I seo him now, the leer in his eye and tho grin on his mouth almost seem tho"se of recogui tion. As of old, he wags his way along the top of the high divide, but now fenced aud full of spotted cattle, with the same pensive, ouick turning, alert head, the same jog trot, the same loll? ing red tongue, the same plume trailing along behind, ever-Miindfu! of a coyote's affairs, ever tb'iofcfcg of his uext meal. Yet he is so much like his cousin, the dog, that know him never so well you can hardly help whistling to him. And when you have passed by. if you will look back you will see him sitting upon his tail and looking after you with the same expression which in the olden time made you know that he was won? dering w-here you were going to camp, and whether, w"hen he had barked you into stupidity or death, there was any? thing about jon rancid, portable, drag able, tough, but perchauce coming within the wide r?n^e of a coyote's menu.-Jav>.e$ Vi.

"Oh!," she said, like one in pain. ':Oh! and yon aro the man for whom 1 have come to this! Oh, God! lt is a cruel world." And she pressed her hands to her heart and stumbled rather than walked to thc door. Reaching it, she turned, and her hands still pressing tho coarse blue gown against her heart, she leaned lier back against tho door. "Edward," she said, in a strained whisper, fer he~ -breath came thick, ''Edward-I am going forever-have- you no kind word to say to rac-:'" lie looked at her, a scowl upon his hand? some face, and Then by way of answer he turned upon his heel. ? / > A.- - 7 .( \mm?z:?\ my1 4\ m^mmm u rsa v&^-^&?

And so, still holding her hands against her pool broken heart, che went out of thc house, out or Boisingham, and of touch and knowl? edge of tho world. These two were; though she knew it not, once and once only, fated to meet again, ia after years, and under circum? stances sufficiently tragic, but the story of that meeting does not lie within the scene of this history. To thr world Idelle was dead, but there is another world of sickness, and sorrow, and sordid unchanging misery and shame, where thc lovely face of Sister Agnes moves to and fro Oiko a ray of God's own light, and there those who would know her must go to seek her.

And in these circumstances tho was no room for hesitation. Once more h duty became clear to her. Sho must give her lovo. she must give up herself. Well, be it. She was weary of the long endeav against fortune, now sho would yield ai let the tide of utter misery sweep over like sea-and bear her av.ay tii; at last it brougi her to that oblivion in which, perchance, t things come ri^ht or are aa though they h: never been.

But he was also, and above all things, a gentleman, and thc spectacle of a woman being inexorably drive a ia:o a distasteful marriage by money pressure-, put on by the man who wi. :>> d to gain he-, revolted him beyond measure, and, though he was slow to wrath, moved hun to fiery indignation. So much did it move him-that he took a resolu? tion-Mr. Cossey should know his mind about the matter, and that at once. Ringing t-De bell, he ordered his dog cart and drove to Edward Cassey's rooms, with the full inten? tion of giving that gentleman a very unpleas? ant quarter of an hoar. Mr. Cossey was in, and fearing lest he should refuse to seo bini, ?he colonel followed the servant up the stairs and entered al? most as she announced his name. There was a grim and even formidable look upon his ?-lain but manly face, and some? thing of menace, too, ia his formal and soldierly bearing; nor did his aspect soften when his eyes feb upon the full length picture of Ida-over the mantelpiece. Edward Cossey rose with ast-m'shnnnt and irritation, not unmixed with nervousness de? picted on his face. The last person whom he wished to seo and expected a visit from was Cel. Quaritch, whom in his heart he held in considerable awe. Ik-sides, he liad of late re? ceived such a series of unpleasant visits that it is not wonderful that he began to dread these interviews. '.Good dav," lie said, coldlv. " Will you bo ser. tedi" The colene! bowed Ins head slightly, but he did not sit down. '.To what m.: I indebted for the pleasuref began Edward Cossey, with mach politeness. "Last time ? was here, Mr. Cassey,-' said tho colonel, ir his deep voice, speaking very deliberately, "I came to give an explanation; now 1 conte to ask one." 'Tudeedl" "Yes. To come to the point, Miss de la Molle and I ar J attached to each other, and there has been between us an understanding t'nat that attachment might end in mar? riage." "Oh! has there?'' said the younger man, calmly, with a sneer. "Yes," answerv i the colonel, keening down hi* rising temper as weil as ho could. "Bat now I am told, upon what appears to bc good authority, that you have actually conde? scended to bring, directly andi ir.diree.ly, pressure of a monetary sort io bear upon Miss de la Molle and her father in order to force her into a distasteful marriage with you." "And what the devil business of yours is it, sir," asked Cossey, "what 1 have or have not done? Making every allowance for the dis? appointment of au unsuccessful suitor, for 1 presume that you appear ia that character," again he sneered, "I asl-: what business is it of yoursi" "It is every business of mine, Mr. Cossey, because ii Miss de ia Moiie is forced into this I shall lose my wife." "Then you will certainly lose her. Do you suppose that 1 am goiag to consider you? Indeed,'' he went cu, being now ia' a tow? ering passion, "I should Lave thought that considering the d;:iVreuce between us, of age and fortune, you might find ether reasons than you suggest to account for ray L.-mg preferred to you, if 1 should: beso preferred. Ludios are apt to choose the better man, yea know." "1 don't quite know what you mean by the 'better mau,' Mr. Cv>>>:y," said the colonel quietly. "Without 'visaing to make any comparisons. I may say that in birth, in breeding, perhaps even m edueatiori and tho ivcord of my life, ia which at least i have not disgraced myself, lam fully your equal, chough I admit that you have the ad vaataga oi me ia money and in years. However, that is not the point; the point is that 1 ?iavc had toe fortune to be preferred to you by the laxly in question, and not you j to me. I happen to know that you and the idea of marriage with voa is us distasteful to Miss de hi Made as it is to me. This I know from Lr-r own lips. She will only marry you, if she does at ali, under the direct neec s.ty, ami to save her fattier from the ruin vi.a are deliberately bringing un a. h.ai." "Well, Col.

Somehow the time wore on until at last it was Christmas eve; the eve, t JO, of the fatal day of Ida's decision, lie dined alone that night, as usual, and shortly after dinner some waits came to the bouse, and began to sing their cheerful carols outside.

[TO FECONHNTRD ] A Double Dinner In Russia. Tito Russian eats on an average once every two hours. The climate and cus? tom require such fr?quent meals, the di? gestion cf which is aided by frequent draughts of vodki and tea. Vodki is the Russian whisky, made from potatoes and rye. it Li (tory and colorless, and is gen? erally Imvored with some extract like vanilla or orango. It is drank frorit small cups that hold perhaps half a^J. Vodki and tea are the inseparable ac? companiments of friendly as well as o? business intercourse in the country of the czar. Drunken men are rare, Russia and Sweden are the only comp tries in which the double dinner is th? rule. "When you go to the house 'of -a Russian, bs lie a friend or a stranger, you are at once invited to a side tabl?, where salted meats, pickled eel, salted cucumbers, and many other spicy an? appetizing viands are urged upon'yon with an impressiveness that knows no refusal. This repast is washed down with frequent cups of vodki That over, and when the visitor feels as if ho had eaton enough fer twenty-four hours, the host says. 4,And nov/ to dinner.'' At th? dinner table the meal is served in courses, with wines grown in the Crimea and ia Bessarabia, where excellent clarets and Burgundies are made and sold for from? shilling to half a crown the bottle, ^ Boston Budget. - .
