ENGLAND_ OUR HOME P'z L 1'1 ia n lent a r Y R e The “spanning” was quickly don-3 and, as if driven by invisnble furu-es our two brown horses gallop-ad ovw- the plain. We had begun to think we were cafe: from an attack, when the cart suddenly stopped, We heard a fearful mar, then an immense dark form sprang through the air. ‘ 1 hepwar horse fell to the ground, and we saw that a powerful lion hai inserted his claws deep in the poor animal’s back. This had happened in much less time than I can tell it. We scarcely: knew what had taken Dlace, and at first sat motionless with terror, only a few feet from the colossal lion, who, driven by hunger, was devour- ing his snorting prey. But only for a moment did I lose my presence of mind. As soon as the first frigl t was over I seized the sambeck, a whip of rhinoceros hide six feet lOng and as thick as one’s fingers, and began to lay it on the lion with all my might from the wagon. But in vain. The lion, in h.s hunger. scarcely notlced the blows, but went on eating the unfortunate steed, while the. other horse tried at first to break from the harness, and then stood still. All this took place in but a very few minutes. I then seized my gun, but it missed fire. I put on another cap. Again the same mocking snap ! I rubbed some powder on the tube, but again the cnarge xailed to explode. In the meantime the lion was rapidly appeasing its hunger without taking the least notice of us. Ten times did I draw the trigger, and ten times did the gun miss fire, and there were no more 08.05. I put the gun 1n uncle’s hand, and whispered to him, “Take aim! I will hold a. match to the tube and make a last attempt to fire the gun.” A moment followed of anxious sus- pense. The phosphorus of the match flared up brightly, and threw a. ghastly glimmer on the horrible scene, hitherto almost hidden in the darkness. The lion roared, frightened by the gleam of light. He turned and sprang with a fearful leap directly towards us. We could just perceive the outline of the gigantic form against the sky, the greenish glitter of the eyes and the rows of teeth in his open jaws. We had both involuntarily pushed as far back as possible in the little cart. Uncle Piet held the gun a. little upward for his protection. The lion sprang right over him, tearing the gun from his hand, wuile one of the claws caught him between the thumb and foxefinger, laying bare the bone, and another made d‘deéi) furrow from his brow to the back of his head. Fortunately the lion had sprung too high, and together with the gun, fell be- hind the cart. The hinder part. of his body only had fallen upon the cart, which had tipped with the great weight, and caused him to slide off. Scarcely had he reached the ground before he turned and hastened again toward the dead horse, over which my right leg was now hanging. For during the lion’s Spring my stout uncle had pushed me to one side, and thus my leg had been thrust out beyond the narrow cart. The gun, our faithful dependence, was gone, uncle Piat was streaming with blood, and I in the most uncom- fortable position, for the lion began to lick my long riding-boots, while he used the dead horse as a pillow, the other horse standing trembling alongside. “ Nerf Cornelius, sit aoodstil, anders packt by U (Nephew Cornelius, sit as still as a. mouse, or he will seize you)!” whispered uncle Piet, while the lion rasped with his prickly tongue the leather of the boots, and my leg, owing to the peculiar position, gradually went to sleep. So we sat without moving, the night through. Then the monsLer left my leg and the dead horse. With majestic pace, swaying his long tail hither and thither, and shaking his maine, he went toward the second horse still powerless from fright, and springing at his head, dragged him down. This was the last act of the oppressor, for the same moment was heard the noise be- hind us of approachiug ox-teams. Then the lion stopped, growled, waved his tail and sneaked off into the darkness. When I examined my boot I found that the tongue of they lion, which is set with prickles, had rasped the leather *0 the thickness only of paper; but this had saved my life, for if the tongue had gone further and tasted my blood, I should certainly have been lost. How a Murderer Was Pursued to Mad- ness and Death by an Unusual Nemesis. I had ridden nearly fifty miles with him in the same compartment of the Pullman, and neither of us had spoken since the start. He was intent on his books and papers, I on the ever chang- ing panorama without. When I had first entered the car be impressed me most pleasantly, and I anticipated a sociable viz-a~viz for my journey, and ‘yet the stranger took no notice of my entrance or presence, paid no heed to a remark of mine about the weather, and THE NAME HUGHSON.

His nmvuus, uneaS) manner finall‘y communicated a restivencss to um, how- ever, and I was just considering a swll through the train when my COIupunion brokv the silence and changed my plan. He had at length picked up a new:- paper which I unySelf had thrown upon the floor, and hurriedly scanned a page or two, when I saw the color suddenly leave his ch‘ eks; his eyes stared blindly and his hands clutched the sheet nervously. Fascinated by the strange action, I watched him 0105er while he seemed to be reading again and again eem- . “U [.IOI‘OUuhly taken up Wlth lith~ I and hisown afi'mr‘s that I deter aninwtl he, should rem-(nu uudlsturbed. a paragraph of uncommon interest. Then with a curse he leaped up, tore the paper in twenty pieces, and turning upon me, gasped out :â€" v... A “What. ‘are you doing with that paper, sir P” " Nothing just at present,” I returned coolly. “You seem to have done all that is necessary.” u Oh, I beg; fiapdon, I la: g paydor} for tearing ycur paper, sir,” he apologized. " If you will permit me I will gladlyâ€"” "That’s all right,” I said. “I was qu1tt‘ through with it. You were most welcome.” He made no answer for a. moment, but stooped and picked up one of the fallen pieces of an inside page. Ho re- garded it for an instant, and I observed the same excitement overcame him as before, but said nothing. I had decided to let him do the talking. At last he approached my chair and, leaning over, handed me the paper, indicating, as he 1 did so, a certain small and obscure paragraph. “ Read it,” he whispered. “Read it.” I complied, and learned only that one ‘Henry Hughson, a day laborer, had fallen down, broken a limb, and been removed to a hospital. “ Well '1” I asked. “ The name,” he replied, “ Hughson -â€"do you know it 2” “ Never heard it before ” “Never heard it! Good God 1” he exclaimedâ€"mow I wish I could say that 'l” “What’s the matter? I inquired. “Don’t you hke it? Does it suggest unpleasant memories?” ‘ 1.7.! “No, no” he returned.“ It’s worse than thatâ€"worse than you can imagine. I’d give halt my life to be rid of it once for all.” “OH, I see,” I broke in. It’s your name then.” “ No; it is not. ” “Your wife’ 5 maiden name, perhaps?’ “ 1 am unmarried.” “ Well, now, my good man, how can you consistently wish to be rid of a. thing to which you deny all claim 2" I protested. “Oh, it is not thatâ€"not that," he said, “I will tell you.” He took the chair opposite mine and leaning forward went on in an eager, breathless manner: WBIIL ()11 1|]. “ll Oaaun, v-~“-----~_ i , “For a. decade I have been haunted by this accursed name. Ten years ago I was engaged to be married to a. beautiful girl named Flora. Hughson. She died mysteriously on the eve of our wedding. Ugly rumors went. about how I had at the eleventh hour learned that. the wealth which gossip attributed to her was mythical, and in desperation I murdered her to avoid marriage. But All “.mvngâ€" -â€"â€"” and he rudely seized my aim and bent tOWard me, “you don’ t believe that of me, do you ’3" “ My dear sir,” I replied, rather ill at ease, “You will readily understand that I know nothing whatever of the case, and thereforeâ€"” “ Of course not, ot course not, he in- terrupted. “ But I swear to you that it is all a lieâ€"a terrible lie. Why sir,” he went on “a. man who would be guilty of such a crime should have it branded upon his brow in letters of blood that all the world might know his misery !” Here he paused for an instant, as he had spoken very rapidly and was out of ‘breath. I held my peace and at length he resumed. “ I fled from the rumor,” “and, broken-hearted, became a wan- derer without home or haven, yet seek- uv-v ing both. I went to Europe; for a. time and soon after my return to this country was startled more than once by what I then regarded as a. most singular seriee of coincidences. Everywhere I went ths name of Hughson confronted me; it was in the papers, on the hotel registers, on the street signs always staring me in the eyes. Two years passed and still the same thing; three years and no change. What- I had considered as mere coincidences now loomed up as monstrous phantoms pursuing me,‘ taunting me, cursing me, everywhere. I grew afraid of the name. I live to- ‘day in :m abject horror of those seven letters that nothing else under heaven can equal. Here in this car, I have partly read a dozen papers and in each that awful name appears and burns it- self into my sight like a. brand from hell.

His identity is uncertain for, although the papers on his person are addressed to 'Horace Remsen, there is branded on his forehead and in no less than six other places on his body the name, Hughson.” An actor now famous made his first appearance on the stage in a provincial city, where theatre-goers wereaccustom- ed to make their disapproval felt when an entertainer did not succeed in pleas- ing them. He was young and nervous, aud failed dismally in the part he was endeavoring to present, and soon found: himself the target for an assortment of ohjectioml bric-a-brac. When the up- roar was at its highest, one of his dis- gusted auditors flung a. cabbage head at him. As it tell on the stage the actor picked it up and stepped forward to the foot-lights. He raised his hand to command silence, and when his tor- ments paused to hear what he had to say, exclaimed, pointing to the cabbage- head, “ Ladies and gentlemen, I expected to please you with my acting, but. I contess I did not expect that anyone in the audince _would lose his head over It.” He was allowed to proceed without further molestation. LONDON, March 23.â€"The Customs authorities have been placed in a dilemma by the inconsiderate action of a bullock, which jumped from the British steamer Persian Monarch, at London from New York. The steamer was lying in the Albert dock on Sunday night, when in some manner the bullock got loose. When an attempt was made to capture him he plunged overboard and was drowned. This fact in itself did not amount to much, but by going overboard and drowning himself the bullock failed to appreciate the difficulty he would bring upon the officers of her Majesty’s Customs. The Contagious Disease Act requires that all American cattle that are not certified to be free ‘ from disease shall he landed at Dept- ford. Of course the action of the bullock presented the law from being complied with in his case, and immediately the machineryofcurcumlocution was started. . The facts in the case were laid before‘ the Privy Council, and extensive corres- pondence between that body and the Customs authorities was inaugurated. Many letters containing the legal acumen of departmental authorities were exchanged, and finally an order was issued directing that the carcass of the bullock, which had been floating about the clock for two days, be taken to Deptford, thus obeying the letter if not the spirit of the law. A Customs officer Was detailed to watch the carcass while it was in the water. And we parted. God never sends people to fish in deep water who have broken nets The devil may drag a christian some- times but he can never drive th¢m. No bad man ever makes him any better by claiming to be a. saint. You can not get: any more out of the bible than you are willing to obey. Christ us always giving us opportunities to show What we will do with him. It is the duty of every christian to be anything, it is to be a cheerful giver. You can ’t tell by the length of a man ’3 face what: he will do 1n a horse trade. There would be more work done for Christ if there were more resting in Christ. You can’t tell much about a man’s re- ligion by the length of his face on Sun flay. Whatever God's spirit leads up to pray for, he makes our duty to work for. If your religion makes you want to fight to defend it, you’ve got the wrong kind.
