We had better get away from here before the people trom the village come this way." Orlando started to an erect posture, and for a moment he seemed like one just awakened from a dream. * Marco Pazzoli, do you know that man ?" * What man *" " The one who has just left us." " Somewhat, sir." Do you know his master?" T have seen him." * I mean the boy Theodore." "Ayeâ€"it was of him I spoke. I have seen him, but beyond that I know no more than you do. . And now let us be moving, If you have further questions to ask, I will answer them when we have reached our destination." * You are right," responded Orlando, gathering up his rein. * We are ready to follow." The hunter led the way down to the river, to a â€" place where the water was _ shallow across a _ bed _ of solid _ rock, and where . the _ horses forded the stream without difficulty. In a little while he struck into a narrow path, which wound around among rocks and trees, and which no ove unacquainted with its abmfit sinuosities conld possibly have followâ€" ed. By and by they began toascend a steep, raug‘h acclivity, with the same torturous winding of path, until finally the guide stopâ€" {:d in a narrow defile. The way seemed to straight on, as the road opened wide and clear in that direction, but he had a different route, â€" Turning to the riil;t. he crowded through a mass of shrubbery and tangled vines, and a little further on the mouth of a cavern was presented to view. x “Therc,"'hc said, as the party drew up before the entrance, "I do not believe that a stranger could find this place. â€" And, what is more, I think that even you, sir knight, were you carried back to the river‘s bank, could not find your way up here again." You ave safe in your opinion," replied Orlando. _ "But I suppose there are others who know of this cavernt" For ten years," replied the hunter, "I have found shelter here when passing my nights in the mountains, and three of my brothers share the secret with me; but dur» ing that time it has not, to my knowledge, been visited by any one else. Yet, before I found it, it had been used as a human habiâ€" tation, but I think its former occupants have long since passed from earth, _ We may leave our horses here in safety, for they canâ€" not wander far away." _ & «" Fair lady, you can go with the hunter, and you may be sure of safety if you are yourself careful. 1 have only one promise to exact from you, that is, that you will be governed by Marco‘s advice so far as exposâ€" ing vourself to danger is concerned." **I shall be discreet," replied Rosabel. * And you, Sir Orlandoâ€"may I not lay an injunction upon you * I myself am as nothing, but I act for one who hath some influence, and that influence I may safely pledge in your behalf. And so T urge you thus : Go with our good Marco, and reâ€" main with him until yousee me again. I will come as soon as I can." Orlando promised that he would do so. "Only," he added, "I must judge whether accident hath befallen you. I will wait a reasonable time." " Then all is well. I haste away that I may the sooner return." With these words Gaspard of Saxony put spurs to his horse, and was soon galloping away over the plain. Upon the edge of a citron copse he turned and waved his hand, and in a moment more he had passed from sight. Thus speaking Marco dismounted, and when he had assisted the others from their saddles, he led the way into the cave. . For a short distance they proceeded in a stoopâ€" ing posture, but soon the way grew higher and broader, until at length they emerged into a spacious vaulted apartment, which was lighted from an apeiture in the roof. Leading from this were several smaller apartâ€" ments, where beds were set upon frames of wood, and where were various other articles of furniture. â€" It was a comfortable habitaâ€" tion, and the fugitives seemed to breathe more freely as they found themselves within the ample protection of its massive walls, 3 L];inkl,"' said Orlando, resting his hand upon the hunter‘s arm, "that I must betake myself to one of the couches." He tremblâ€" cd’au he spoke, and seemed ready to sink from weakness, and he might have sank had not Pazzoli snpported him. «Upon my life, sit kni%ht, you are well nigh exhausted. _ You could not have ridden much further. â€" But you shall have rest and nourishment, and if that can help you, all may yet be well." He led the iouth into one of the smaller apartments, where a comâ€" fortable bed was already prepared, and hayâ€" ing helped him to remove his outer garâ€" ments, he brought wine and a few dried dates, after which Orlando lay down, and was very soon asleep. _ â€" _ . _ . When the hunter returned to the main cave, he announced to the females that he was to be their cook and their servant, "I promised Gaspard," said he, "that I not fear to trust. He has spent his life among the mountains, and he can take you to a place where no enemy can find you. What say you, Sir Orlando®" ©1 will go with him," replied our hero, "for his ?ncc recommendeth him to my love." And as the youth spoke he struggled to his feet, and leaned against the horse; though he required help before he could reach his sud:i?c. "If you trust me," said the hunter, whose speech was frank and manly, "you will trust one who never knew what it was to betray a friend. I shall take you to the mountains, and give you shelter beneath . a roof fashioned by the hand of God himself; and when vyou are once there you will be "I have thought this course best," exâ€" plained Gaspard. _ "We could find shelter in the village, but we could not enter withâ€" out being seen by many curious eyes, and if pursuers should happen this way, such a course might lead to trouble." ©The mountain is the safest place," said Rosabel. _ "Let us not go to the village." There is one thing more," pursued Gasâ€" pard. "It is the knight who needs rest; and when he is strong enough he will follow me lady, need not remain here. _ A few leagues further on we will change horses, and before the setting of this day‘s sun you may he well into fi'vrol." Rosabel did not besitate. â€" Turning to the hunter, she asked: "Is there room in the cavern for me?" "Yes, lady."

A snake that carries fourtcen sr sixteen rattles and a button is considered a monster in these parts, and is looked upon with most respectful bearing.

In a large, wholesale way of business indeed, Levantine piracy may be called extinct, â€" No longer are the tideless waters swept by the galleys of the Aigerine, nor do we often at church find collections being made for mariners captive among the Moors. The gental old ruffian who made his prisonâ€" ers drink to the King over the water is totally extinct. But in a small way, the very limited capital and enterprise sadly thwarted, the isles that burning Sappho loved and sang #till see a good deal of busi ness done on the old lines. The pracstice tather resembles maritime burglary, perâ€" baps, than anything to be called piracy, and the practitioners are natives of mixed race.

An "ornamental china cup, out of which Napoleon took his last drink at St. Helena," was sold at auction recently in Paris. An examination of the manufacturer‘s mark shows the cup to have been made in 18$40, It may be remembered that Bonaparte died at St. Helena in 1821. The dimensions of the celebrated Heidelâ€" burg tun have been excceded by the "Blatner Cask," built for the Blatner Brewing Company, of Munich, which is 105 feet in diameter and 51 feet deep. At the inauguration ball 275 couples took part, and at one time there were 500 people, exclusive of waiters, musicians, etc., on the floor of the cask. The shores of the isles are studded by little villages, as far from the sweet minâ€" istry of the police as wild Kintail, and we cannot put it more strongly. ‘The wealth of the villagers mainly consists in old silver vessels and ornaments, often of beauty and great antiquity. A sponge diver, for exâ€" ample, has found more than sponges. In the British Museum there is a recent acquisition, a pot made of gold, weighing as much as a hundred sovereigns. This was brought up from a classical wreck by a sponge diver, and it is likely enough that such discoveries are frequently made and concealed. The villagers have also the silver ornaments of their women‘s dowries, ofter old and curious, and there may be a few relics of antique gems, rings, necklets, and armlets, spoils of the graves of the Mycennean age. . As the tax gatherers are prompt to levy on all property, this little Well!.gl is, of course, carefally hidden, perâ€" haps under the thatch.

Morrison, an English traveler of the seyâ€" enteenth century, while at Dantzic, Prossia, siys he ‘‘saw a mill which, without the help of human bands, did saw boards. _ It had a great iron wheel, which did not only drive the saw but which did also hook in and turn the logs onto the saw." Dr. John Dee must have seen a similar mill at Prague. Of it be says: " I saw me a mill at Prague of which I verily helieve the devil himself was master." PIRACY IN THE LEVANT aand Euphemism. method is commonly "When, a few bours after my encounter with the Chinese gardener, I reach the station, I find that trouble is in the air. The hands have struck wouk at the bidding of a traveling delegate from their labor union. The cause of complaint is that the owner of the station has a Chinamen in his employment. The Chinaman in question is my friend the gardener !

With this particular Chinaman in the concrete he has no fault to find whatever, and his only objection to Chinamen in the abstract appears to be that ‘they don‘t spend their money in the country like other men.‘ To such a man there is little use pointing out that, even if * John‘ does save a pound a week to carry away with him from the couniry, the proâ€" duct of his labor is far in excess of that sum, his industry zdds immeasarably to the health, comfort, and wealth of the whole community, and in the end he leaves a rich legacy behind him. Arguments are of no avail. Bat the equatter stands firm ; for his family‘s sake alone, if not for that of the station hands themseives, who are unâ€" der no compulsion to eat the Chineseâ€"grown cabbages, he absolutely refuses, be the cost what it may,to dismiss the gardener, After a couple of days, when the union delegate has ridden away, a few of the older hands ::me to reason and return to work, despite e {DEFENDS JOHKN CHINAMAN ** It is a period of partial drought, and a broiling day at Christmastide, the midâ€"Sumâ€" mer of the Antipodes; I am driving over the parched plains of Riverina. . . . Not a single tree or patch of brushwood breaks the borizon. Although I am right in the center of a vast sheepâ€"run, no flocks are to be seen ; the anmials have been driven to the driedâ€"up watercourses, where there is, perhaps, enough grass left to sustain life for a few days longer. I have once during the day caught a g%impse of a small flock of emus, far away in the distance. On two or three occasions I have drawn rein to watch a group of *‘ native companions," dancing and curtseying on the plain in the peculiarâ€" ly graceful manner of all the crane tribe. But other trace of animal life, during a long six hours‘ drive, there has been nome, At last, through the quivering heat haze, I descry one green spot in the desert, Is it a mirage * I keep asking myself, and the horses instinctively quicken their leisurely jogâ€"trot at the vision, with its promise of water, before them. When I drive nearer I can anewer that the scene is no mirage, It is a beautiful God‘s acre of fruitâ€"trees and vegetables and flowers, enclosed on all sides by a hedge of vivid green. 1 look around for an explanation of this seeming miracle,. The creaking of a wheel falls on mÂ¥ ear and directs my eye. â€" The riddle is solved. *Now this man lives amid these lonely and uninteresting surroundings from one year‘s end to the other. He has no comâ€" panion, and sees no human face except that of the lad who twice a week rides out from the head station with his rations of flour, sugar, tea, and mutton, of his employer, occasionally, er of some rare passerâ€"by like myself, â€" { venture to say without fear of contradiction that no man other than a Chinaman could endure such an «<xistence, I should certainly wish to condemn no white man to such a lot, Yet the Chinaâ€" man is perfectly contented and happy, for week by week he is laying by a goiden sovereign, and in three years more he will return to China or betake himself to Hong Kong, with ample provision for the reâ€" mainder of his days, . And for this end he has toiled cheerful tor twenty long years, amid the solitude of ‘"He has not heard the footfall of my horses, but when I ‘so0eey‘ he looks up, breaks from his work, advances to the side of the hedge, and answers my kindly greeting by a broad smile,. ‘Vely waim day,‘ he acquiescingly replies, in the soft pigeonâ€"English which I once beard a Chinaâ€" man aptly describe as a *vely ladyâ€"like way oi talkee.‘ He fetches a bucket of water for the horses, and of his own goodâ€"will beâ€" stows upon me & couple of large and beanâ€" tiful oranges. As I drive off after the brief, and pleasant interlude to my monotonous journey, I hear the creaking axle of the drawâ€"weil again in operation. . The indusâ€" trious Chinaman is once more ‘at work ! most of them young men, in their ranks. The latter are then ordered to vacate their quarters, and after drawing the pay due to them,take to the road. A night later I again meet them, They are ‘knocking down‘ their checks in a villanous bush publicâ€"house a dozen miles away. . A week will not elapse before every manâ€"jack in the party will be penniless, and will be compelied to tramp onward on the outlook for another job, or to ‘cadge his tucker‘ by walking from staâ€" tion to station and begging the night‘s quarters in the travelers‘ hut and the twentyâ€"four hours‘ rations which are never refused the wayfarer on an Australian sheep station. . And these are t.h‘e men wb:: sheep station.
