He was full : way a half l finished cigarette, he clasped his hands i back of his curly head, and broke the ‘ ,2 with a sudden speech. “Ned, I am too happy to smokeâ€"â€"I am the happiest man in all the border Herndon has promised to land.

Bringing his Ehair to the ground, concealing his face with his hand, he leaned over the railing and looked down into the sluggish waters of the river flowing a. few feet below. Had they somewhere, far back at their source, exhausted all youthful buoyancy, or did their hidden channels hold secrets of the old town, so dread‘ as to still the overlapping waves and slow the nimble current? As the shadows formed along the bank in the same old patterns, an aching heart made its flumb confession, and the jplacid stream beheld unmoved the tidal wave of passion sweep in sad disaster over a man’s soul, destroying, for a time. even familiar lineaments. How old and wise they looked, those waters, in their calm, unfretted flow. As thought piled itself upon thought, and Foster saw torn into shret be beautiful fabric of a dream tha h )0 had woven with this woman for its center, he forgot that Heaven held his mother, and lifted up his heart against it and his fellow-man. Butâ€"thank God lâ€"it was only for one fleeting gmoment. Remembering whose brave ‘right arm had, five years before at the battle of San Jacinto, intercepted the Mexican bullet aimed at his own breast, he was able to turn away from the dark suggestions of the stream, and} give back unabated love and sincerity into the expectant eyes of his happy rival. Save for a certain barrenness of aspect, a suddenly arrested animation -â€"watermarks of the receding waveâ€"it wasthe same half-humorous, half-tender face as of old; the most lovable man’s face in the world, asenthusiastic Harvey had declared over and over again. “36333:; you, old fellow,“ he said, as he extended his hand. “May you have centuries of happiness! God knows”-â€"with a. look of tender loyality his friend never forgotâ€"“if any man deserves her, it is you, Harvey.” This was in the summer of 1841. r In the autumn of1842, when Presi. dent Houston ordered out General Somervell to the Rio Grande to organ- ize troops and avenge the insulting raids oi Vasquez and W011, Ned Foster was among the first to respond to the call for volunteers. ‘ 3â€" LA.-- M:1nn Jpn 1v: ........... About one hundred and eighty miles south on Saltillo, on the road no the La - -.. Duuull v v“. -_,_, City of Mexico, is an old fort. known in history as the Hacienda Salano. The high walls, built in fortress fashion around an immense square court, are well fitted for defense, and in times of war are used for such purpose. This one stands in the midst of a sandy plain, whose dreary stretch of gray is broken here and there by patches of bunch grass and tufts of stunted sage. To the east and west are mountains, and on the dividing ridges are SCatter- ed lonely pines. As far as the eye can reach spreads this somber, unsrniling landscape, no birds wake the day with their carols, and no flowers have heart to bloom.

Once Harvey fell exhausted ~n the shade of a tree and begged his comrades to leave him; but his friend lifted him up, whispered encouraging words that held a magic name, and bade him press on. On the evening of the tenth day they were met by a body of Mexican wcavalry and hidden to halt and give up their arms.

It was first used for a thermometer in 1795 by a Prussian merchant named Fahrenheit. From a boy he was a close observer of nature, and when only nineteen years old, in the remark- iable cold winter of 1709, he experi: mented by putting snow and salt to- gether, and noticed that it produced a ‘ degree of cold equal to the coldest day 3 of the year. And that day being the coldest the oldest inhabitant could remember, Fahrenheit was the more struck with the coincidence of his l.ttle. scientificdiscovery, and hastily conclud- ed that he had found the lowest degree of temperature known in the world, either natural or artificial. He emit-ti - the degree zero, and constructed it thermometer, or rude weather glass, with a scale graduating up from zero to boilingpoint, which he numbered 212,, and the freezing point 32, bezause, as he thought, mercury c0ntracted the thirty-second of its volume on being cooled down from the temperature of freezing water to zero, and expanded the one-hundred and eightieth on be- ing heated from'Jthe freezing to the boiling point. l l P?

The duvor- nik and 'he servant on the ground floor went up stairs, where th ladies were fuund insensible, and appar- ently asphyxiated by the fumes of a stove which the attendant had neglect- ed to shut off. Doctors were immedi- ately summoned, and succeeded, after five hours’ treatment, in restoring the sufferers.
