As soon on the two boys made their appearance the posse opened fire upon them. When the smoke cleared away it was seen that the Logan boys lay dead, killed at the first shot. The two men who formed the posse returned to Morehead and gave themselves up. A year ago last winter Craig Tollivcr and four of his gang, which included two of his brothers, were killed by citizens of Morehead under the leadership of Hiram Pigman and Emmett Logan, and since that time the two factions have had no open hostilities.

At Equ- ator Station, where fifty Baruki were em- ployed in the labors of thcpost, the villagers thought the men were slaves. One day, after the death of a chief, the natives inno- cently applied to the commander of the sta- tionfor a few of his Baruki, saying they would pay a good price, as thev wished to deoapitate them during the funeral exer- cures. Not a few recent photographs of Upper Congo scenes sent to this country show the roofs of huts adorned with skulls which are almost invariably those of victims of funeral soc'ifices. Their bodies, if not eaten, are usually thrown into the river ; but the s'aulis are placed either on the ridge pole of the gable-roofed cabins or on the graves of the men for whom the sacrifices are made. Not only are wives sometimes strangled and thrown into the graves of their husbands, but female slaves now and then full victims to the oxecutiouer’s knife. Two white men stood helplessly by some time ago while one of these unfertunates met her doom, not stoieally like the men who shared her fate, but wit piteous eateries. For up the Lulongo River Von Francois fell in with a large canoe load of slaves shackled hand and foot, who were being taken to the Congo for sacrificial purposes. He says that among the Bengals. and other Congo tribes the richer and more prominent a men is, the more numerous are the victims who parish at his death; and traders are sent far up the Congo tributaries to buy slaves for sacrifice, because they can be pur- chased cheaper at a considerable distance from the main river.

And so on, until grandma was devoutly thankful that birthdays came only once a year, and thut a party was not a necessary accompaniment. The hammock was to be hung between two large trees and a rand swing put up between two others ; an the long table set out in the shade. just like a picnic. But, alas for human hopes! The day before the party it began to rain. Not little, spiteful drops against the window, and the sun try- ing hard to shine all the while,j but great bucketfuls poured, poured all day ; and poor Nora's heart aohed with dissappeint- ment, for the childern lived too far away to come if it rained. And whatever could be done with such quantities of cake, es- pecially with the pyramid cake, in whose "manufacture she had taken extra interest. For was not the largest cake fruit, the next gold, the next silver, the next rose. and away at the top a lovely candy deg, about which Nora had had much secret wonder- ment as to whom it would fall? Then the or- anges, great golden ones, that grandpa had taken such nine should be sweet, and all the candy. he was sure she should not eat it all if she ate nothing but candy for a month. She was a sad little girl all day, but at night it cleared a little, and grandpa went down to the post-office and brought back a tiny set of gold earrings, set with a turquoise as blue as Nora's eyes, that momma bod sent to her little daughter, with a loving message such as only mammas can send, and Nora went to bed a little hopeful that the day would be clear. When morning at last came the weather was very unsatisfactory. It did not rain, certainly; but: it was very cloudy, the wind blew hard and cold, and it actually seemed for a while as if it would snow ; but evidently remembering that it was the QSch day of May, and that it would not do at all reserve.
