15 he Bondma.n. Cy HALL CAINE. And when all wag over she swept the people out of the room with a wive af her hand, and fell back to the bol ster. Then Greeba, thinking It a favor ible moment to plead for her father, mentioned his name, and eyed her mother anxiously. Mm. Fairbrother '.eemed not to hear at first, and, being pressed, she answered wrathfully. say ing she had no pity for her husband, and that not a penny of her money chould go to him. But late the same day. after the doctor, who had been sent for from Douglas, had wagged his head and made a rueful face over her, she called for her sons, and they came and stood about her, and Greeba, who had nurs ed her from the beginning, was also by her side. "Boys," sne said, between fits of pain, "keep the land together, and don't separate; and mlno you bring no .women here or you'll fall to quarrel ing, and if any of you must marry let him have his share and go. Don't forget the heifer that's near to calv ing, and soe that you fodder her every night. Fetch the geese down from Barrule at Martinmas, and count the sheep on the mountains once a week, for the people of Maughold are the worat thieves in the Island." They gave her their promise duly to do and not to do what she had named, and, being little uted to such Brene3, they grew uneasy and began to shamble out "And, boys, another thing," she said, faintly, stretching her wrinkled hand across the counterpane, "give the girl her rlsrhta, and let her marry whom she will." This, also, thev promised her; and then she, thinking her duty done as an honest woman towards man and the world, but recking nothing of higher obligations, lay backward with a groan. Now It did not need that the men should marry In order that they might quarrel, for hardly was the breatn out of their mother's body when they set to squabbling, without any woman to help them. Asher grumpled that Thurstan was drunken, Thurstan grumbled that Abher was lazy, Asher rstorted that, beiDg the eldest son, if ho had his rights he would have every foot of the land, and Boss and Stean arose in fury at the bare thought of either belne hinds on their brother's farm or else taking the co-by at' his hands. So they quarreled, until Jacob said there was plainly but one way of peace between them, and that was to apportion the land into equal parts and let every man take his share, and then the idleness of Asher and the drunkenness of Thurstan would be to each man his own affair. At that they remembered that the lands of Lague, then the largest estate on the north of the island, had once been made up of six separate farms, with a hou30 to each of them, though five of the six houses had long stood empty. And eeeing that there were Just six of themselves it seemed, as Jacob said, as if Providence had so appointed things to see them out of their diffi culty. But the farms, though of pret ty equal acreage, were of various qual 'ty of land, and therein th! quarreling let In afresh. "I'll take Ballacraine," said Thurs--cn. "No. but I'll take it," said Jacob, "for I've always worked the mead ows." In the end they cast lots, and then, each man having his farm assigned to him, all seemed to be settled when "But what about the girl?" At that they looked stupidly Into each other's faces, for never once In all their bickering had they given a thought to Greeba. But Jacob's re source was not yet at an end, for he suggested that Asher should keep her t Lukuw. and at harvest the other Cve should give her something, and that her keep and their gifts together should be her share; and if she had all she needed what more could she wish? Tbey did not consult Greeba on this f.ead. and before she had lime to pro test they were In the thick of a fresh dispute among themselves. The mead ow lands of Uallacralne had fallen to Jacob after all, while Thurstan got the high and stony lands of Ballafayle, at the foot of Barrule. Thurstan was less than satisfied, and remembering that Jacob had drawn out the papers for the lottery, he suspected cheating. So he mado himself well snd thor oughly drunk at the "Hibernian." and set off for Uallacralne to argue the question out He found Jacob In no mood for words of recrimination, and so he proceeded to thrash him, and io turn him off the fat lands and settlo himself upon them. Then there was great commotion nmong the Kalrbrotbers. and each of the other four took a side In the dis pute. The end of it all was a trial for ejectment at Deemsteer's court at Kamsey, and another for ar3ault and battery. The ejectment came flrft and Thurstan was ousted, and then six men of Maughold got up iu the Juror's box to try the charge of assault. There was little proof, but a multitude of witnesses, and before all were heard the Deemster adjourned the court for lunch and ventilation, for the old court house had become poisonous with the recking breath of the people that crowded It . And the Jury being free to lunch where they pleased, each of the par ti to the dispute laid hold of his man and walked him off by himself, to persuade him, also to treat htm, and perhaps to bribe blm. Thus Thurstan was st the Saddle Inn with a Juryman on either hand, and Jacob was at the Plough with as many by his side, and Rom nd Btean had one each at the tavern by the Cross. "You're right." ald ths Jurymen to Thurstan. "Drink up." said Thurstan to the Jurymen. "I'm your man." said bs Jurymen to Jacob. "Blip this In 1. - Mid Jacob to the Jurymen. Then they reeled back to ths court A t Costisues Stsry. house arm-in-arm, and when the six good men of Maughold had clambered up to their places again, the Juror's box contained several quarts morn au than before. The Jury did not agree on a verdict, and the Deemster dismissed them with hot reproaches. But some justice to Greeba seemed likely to come of this wild farce of law, for an advocate, who bad learned what her brothers were doing for her, got up a case against them, for lack of a better brief, and so far prevailed on her behalf that the Deemster ordered that eacn of the six should pay her eight pounds yearly, as an equivalent for the share of land they had unlawfully withheld. Now Red Jason had spent that day among the crowd at the courthouse, and his hot blood bad shown as red as his hair through his tanned cheeks, while be looked on at the doings of Thurstan of the swollen eyes, and Jacob of the foxy face. He stood up for a time at the back like a statue of wrath with a dirty mist of blood dancing before it. Then his loathing and scorn getting the better of him he cursed beneath his breath in Ice landic and English, and his restless hands scraped in and out of his pock ets as if they Itched to fasten on somebody's throat, or pick up some thing as a dog picks upa rat. All he could do was to curl his lip In a ter rible grin, like the grin of a mastiff, until he caught a sidelong glimpse of Greene's face with the traces of tears upon It, and then, being unable to control any longer the unsatisilea yearning of bis soul to throttle Jacob, and smash the ribs of Thurstan, and give dandified John a backhanded facer, he turned tall and slunk out of the place, aa if ashamed of himself that he was so useless. When all was over he stalked off to Port-y-Vullin, but, too nervous to settle to his work that day, he went away In the even ing in the direction of Lague, uot thinking to call there, yet powerless to keep away. , Greeba had returned from Ramsey alone, being little wishful for com pany, so heavy was her heart. She nad seen how her brothers had tried to rob her, and bow beggarly was tue help the law could give her, for though the one might order the others might not obey, bo she had sat aer self down in her loneliness, thinking that she was indeed alone in the world, witn no one to look up to any more, and no strong hand to rest on. It was Just then tnzt Jfon pushed open the door of the porch, and stood on the threshold, in all the quiet strength or his untainted young man hood, and the calm breadth of his simple manner. "Greeba, may I come in?" he said, in a low tone. "Ye3," she answered, only Just aud ibly, and then he entered. She aid not raise her eyes, and he did not offer his hand, but as he stood beside her she grew stronger, and as she sat before him he felt that a hard lump that had ga.ered at his heart was melting away. "Listen to mc, Greeba," he said. "I know all your troubles, and I'm very sorry for them. No, that's not what I meant to say, but I'm at a loss for words. Greeba! "Yes?" "Doesn't It seem as If Fatct meant us to come together you and I? The world has dealt very III with both of us thus far. But you are a woman and 1 am a man; and only give me the right to fight for you " AS he spoke he saw the tenia bpiiuK to her eyes, and he paused and his wandering fingers found the hand that hung by her side. "Greeba!" he cried again, but she stopped the hot flow of the words that she saw were ccmlng. "Leave me now," she said. "Don't speak to me today; no, not today, ja.son. Go go!" He obeyed her without a word, and picking up his cap from where It had alien at his feet, he left her silting there with her face covered by uer hands. She had suddenly bethought herself of Michael Sunlocks; that she had pledged her word to wait for hlro, that she had written to him and that his answer might como at any time. Next day she went down to the post office at Ramsey to Inquire for a let ter. None had yet come for her, but a boat from the Shetlands that might fetch malls from Iceland would arrive within three days. Prompt to that time she went down to Ramsey again, but though the boat had put Into harbor and discharged its mails there was still no letter for her. The ordi nary Irish trader between Dublin and Reykavlk was expected on its home ward trip In a week or nine days more, and Grceba'g heart lay low and waited. Iu due course the traut. came, but no letter for her came with it. Then her hope broke down. Sun locks had forgotten her; perhaps no cared for her no longer; It might even be that he loved some one else. And so with the fall of her hope her wo manly pride arose, and she asked her self very haughtily, but with the great team in her big dark eyes, what It mattered to her after all. Only she was very lonely, and so weary and heart-sick, and with no one to look to for the cheer of life. She was still at Lague, where her elder.t brother was now sole master, and be was very cold with her, for ha had taken It with mighty high dudgeon that a sister of his should have used the law against him. bo, feeling how bitter It was to eat the bread of another, she had even begun to pinch heraelf of food, and to sit at meals but rarely. But Jason came again about a fort night after the trial, and he found Greeba alone as before. She was sit ting by the porch, In the cool of the summer evening, combing out the plaits of her long brown balr, and looking up at Barrule, that was hear ing out large and black In the sun down, with a night cap of silver vapor over Its bead in the clouds. "I can stay away no longer," n said, with bis eyes down. "1 ve tried to stay away and can't, and the cays cieep along, bo think do ill of me if I como too soon." Greeba made him no answer, but thought within herself that if he bad stayed awaya day longer he must have stayed a day too long. "It's a weary heart I've borne," be said, "since I saw you last, and you bade me leave you, and I obeyed. though it cost me dear. But let that go." Still she did not speak, and looking up into her face he saw how paie she was, and veak and ill as he thought. "Ureeoa," he cried, "what has hap pened?" But she only smiled and gave him a look of kindness, and said that nothing was amiss with her. "Yes, by tho Lord, something is amiss," he said, with his blood in bis face in an instant. "What Is it?" no cried. "What is It?" "Only that I have not eaten much today," she said, "that's all." "All!" he cried. "All!" He seemed 10 understand every thing at a giance, as if the great power c( nls love had taught him. "Now, by God " he said, and shook uis fist at the house in front of him. "Hush!" Greeba whispered, "it -s my own doing. 1 am loth to ue be holden to any one, least of all to sucn as forget me." The sweet tenderness of her look softened him, and he cast down his eyes again, and said: "Greeba, there is one who can never forget you; morning and night you are wnu him, for he loves you deany; ay, GreeDa, as never maiden was loved by any one since the world begin. No, there isn't the man born, Greeba, who loves a womn as he loves you, for he has nothing else to love in ail the wide world." She looked up at him as he sprite and saw the courage in his eyes, and that he who loved her stood as a man beside her. At that her heart swelled and her eyes began to fill, as-d -c si'" her tears and knew tuat he had won her, and he plucked her to his Dreast with a wild cry of Joy, and she lay there and wept, while he whispered to her through her hair. "My love! my love! love of my life!" he whispered. "I was so lonely," she murmured. "You shall be lonely no more," he whispered; "no more, my love, no more, and his soft words stole over her drooping head. He stayed an hour longer by her side, laughing much and talking greatly, and when he went off fhe heard him break into a soft song as he passed out at the gate. Then, being once more alone, she sat and tried to compose herself, won dering if she should ever repent what she bad done so hastily, and if she could love this man as he well de served and would surely wish. Her meditations were broken by the sound of Jason's voice. He was coming back with his happy step, and singing as merrily as he went "What a blockhead I am," he said, cheerily, popping his head in at the door. "I forgot to deliver you a let ter that the postmaster gave me when I was at Ramsey ihls morning. You see it's from Iceland, Good news from your father, I trust. God bless him!" So saying he pushed the letter into Greeba's hand and went his way jaunilly, singing as before a gay song of his native country. The letter was from Michael Sun locks. CHAPTER IV. THE ItlSE OF .MICHAEL SDNLOCICS. "Dear Greeba," the letter ran, "I am sorely ashamed of my long silence, whicfi is deeply ungrateful toward d very ,,ry " fit tn- wards me. Though something better than four years uave passed away since I left the little green island, tne time has seemed to tiy more swiftly than a weaver's shuttle, and I have been immersed in many interests nd beset by many anxieties. But I well Know ihat nothing can quite excuse me, and I would wrong the truth if 1 were to say that among fresh scenes and fresh faces I have borne about me day and night the momory of all 1 left behind. So I shall not pretend to a loyalty whereof I have given you no assurance, but will Just pray of you to take me for what I truly am a rather thankless fellow who has sometimes found himself In danger of forgetting old friends in the making of new ones, and been very heartily ashamed of himself. Nevertheless, the sweetest thoughts of these four years have been thoughts of the old home, and the dearest hope of my heart has oeen to return to It some day. That day has not yet come; but It is coming, and now I seem to see it very near. So, dear Greeba, for give me if you can, or at least bear me no grudge, and let me tell you of some of the strange things that have befallen me since we parted. "When I came to Iceland it was not to Join the Iai"in school of the ven ciable Bishop Pcteisen (a worthy man and good Chrlstloo, whom It has become my happiness to call my friend), but on an errand of mercy, whereof 1 may yot fay much but can tell you little now. The first of my duties was to And a good woman and true wife who had suffered deeply by the great fault of another, and, having found her, to succor her in her distress. It says much for the depth or her misfortunes that, though she had been the daughter of the Governor-General, and the Inhabit ants of the capital of Iceland are fewer than two thousand In all, 1 was more than a week In Reykjavik before I came upon any real news of her. When I found her at last fhe wss In her grave. The poor soul aad died within two months of my landing on these shores, and the Joiner of tne cathedral was putting a little wooden peg. Inscribed with the Initials of her name, over her grave In the forgot ten quarter of the cemetery where the dead poor of this place are burred, Such was the close of tbe first chap ter of my quest. (To be continued). CIEMCE WD1TK SWELLING Or THE KXEE. This is the old name for a chronic tuberculous inflammation of the knee- joint, that is to say, an inflammation produced by the same germ that, when seated in the lungs, is the cause of consumption. It is a disease chiefly affectlrg children, although adults are not wholly exempt from it. The trouble usually comes on Insidi ously, without any evident cause; but sometimes it follows an acute inflam mation resulting from a strain, a fall or other injury. The first symptom will probably be a slight limp, which may be Intermittent, coming and go ing irregularly for a time; and with this there is apt to be an indefinite, dull pain. Soon the Joint grows a little stiff, and is slightly fixed, and any attempt to straighten the knee causes pain and an involuntary Jerking of the leg or of the entire body. At night the child occasionally starts In his sleep and cries out, but if awakened says he has no pain. After a longer or shorter time, dur ing which these symptoms gradually become more marked, examination of the knee will show a slight swelling, and if the knee Is compared with its fellow it will perhaps feel warmer to the hand. The degree and kind of swelling vary; usually it is hard and unyield Ing, and not of very great size; less often It Is very large and feels like a distended bladder. It always looks larger than it really is. because the muscles of lue leg aud tliigu are wa: ed away. The inflammation, if untreated, may subside spontaneously after some months, leaving a stiffened and bent knee; or it may break down and dis charge for a very long time, depressing the patient's strength and eventually causing his death. The treatment of the disease is two fold, local and general. Tonics, good foods, cod liver oil or cream, plenty of fresh air and sunlight, and everything to build up the general health are of the greatest Importance, for local treatment will be of little use if the patient's resisting powers are weak, Local treatment consists chiefly in giving rest to the Joint. This is usu ally done by casing the leg Is a plas ter of Paris bandage, or by means of specially constructed splints. The splints are often made In such a way that the patient can go about without crutches, and without danger of Jar ring the knee. SOLDI KR8' ARMORED CARRIAGE. In the picture is shown a rather novel idea for protecting soldiers un der fire from the enemy, the apparatus being intended primarily for use in op erating the small machine guns which are much in use in th modern army, The principal part of the apparatus is the steel shield, which Is mounted on the single axle and provided with a number of port holes, through which either machine or hand guns may be operated. Behind the shield Is shown a seat for the men, who are thus en PROTECTING A GUN SQUAD. abled to go into action In small num bers without the danger of being en tirely exterminated by the enemy be fore their guns can be brought into action. One peculiarity about the ap paratus Is tbe method of transporting it on the battlefield without extreme danger to horse or driver. Projecting from the rear of the carriage are a pair of long thills, which end in a cross-piece, to which the whlffletree is attached, enabling horse and rider to follow the carriage Instead of going before it, and provision is also made for reversing the animal to draw the carriage from the field with the same degree of safety. The patentee of this shield is Adrian Hltt of Jersey City, N. J. THE MORTALITY or CITIES. The latest bulletin of the Department of Labor contains three statistical ta bles of unusual Interest, showing the number and causo of deaths, during the last fiscal year, In one hundred and twenty-nine cities having a population of thirty thousand or more. Like all statistics, these figures sometimes require to be explained. For Instance, the highest death rate of any city In the country almost thlr-ty-flve to the thousand Is that of Charleston, while New Orleans, Sa vannah and San Antonio all had a death rate of more than twenty-five to the thousand. But this does not prove that they are unwholesome ptaces. Each has a very large color ed population, and exceptional mortal ity here swells tbe general average. The really "deadly" cities are foreign ports, Ilka Bombay, where the death met im . n m BfeiOt tat p?W wYx rate is sometimes over sixty-four to the thousand. With the exception of Rockford, Il linois, the most healthful cities seem to He west of tbe Mississippi. Seattle heads them, with a death rate of only about seven to the thousand. St. Joseph, Missouri; Portland, Oregon; Lincoln, Nebraska; Tacoma, Washing ton; Sioux City, Iowa, and Rockford, Illinois, all have a death rate of less than ten to the thousand. The death rates of New York, London and Paris are over nineteen to the thousand. CHALKS TBE LINE. The chalk-line is very often a great convenience to the carpenter and oth er mechanics, and yet it may become a veritable nuisance in the way of chalking the hands and clothing, to say nothing of the Inconvenience of discovering Just at the time the line is needed that it hr.s not been chalked in so long that it will not make a clear mark. These objections to the ordinary line seem to have been over come in the apparatus illustrated here with. A metallic casing surrounds a reel on which the line is wound, and attached to the side of the casing Is a small compartment for the reception of a quantity of pulverized chalk. A cover is provided, attached to the In ner side of which Is a spring. The latter presses a plate against the chalk LINE AND CHALK HOLDER. to aid in maintaining it in a body around the line. In drawing the line from the casing it passes through the chalk compartment and is thoroughly powdered. The reel on which the line is wound may be operated either by a crank or a coiled spring and the im plement will be found very convenient for the purpose for which it was de signed. INVENTIONS OE THE PAST. The experience of the patent office with its "hall of models" throws an Interesting light upon the progress of American invention. For many years the government required an applicant for a patent to submit a model of his invention. If the invention were a ma chine, none of the three dimensions of the model was to exceed 12 inches. The models were displayed In show cases on the upper floor. This exten sive collection of little engines, pumps and mowing machines came to look somewhat like a toy shop, and to it hundreds of visitors were attracted, But so long ago as 18S0 it became evident that the practice of receiving models must be discontinued.' The space they occupied was needed by the office for it? regular business. So tbe models then on hand were sorted over, and the most interesting ones were re tained, appropriately grouped, as -a Patent nffl museum, Thev have since been frequently sent, as a part of the government's exhibit, to great fairs like that at Chicago in 1893. The rest of the models are now kept oa two floors of a large storehouse near the patent office, which have been rented for that purpose. The few visitors who chance to stroll through that wil derness of show cases are reminded of the diverse channels in which Amer ican inventiveness has sought an out let. It is a singular fact that, to under stand a machine, the patent office ex aminers prefer a mechanical drawing to an actual model, so trained have they become in translating the conven tional marks of a diagram into the physical reality for which it stands. ENGLAND'S COAL FIELDS. A French author, Monsieur E. Loze, has recently discussed again the ques tion of the probable duration of the British coal fields. Assuming that the prosperity and power of Great Brit ain depend upon her supply of coal, he thinks that "the end of Britain" is due within the coming century. He fixes the date 1950 for the complete exhaustion of the attainable supply of coal in the British Isles. To this statement the English scientific jour nal, Nature, replies that Monsieur Loze has failed to- take account of recent Investigations proving that mining can be economically carried on at much greater depths than 2,000 feet the lim it assumed by the French author and consequently that the British coal sup ply will last indefinitely longer than his calculation shows. Brought Flnar at Laab One day In the spring of 1884 Mrs. Frederick White of Coventry, N. Y., asked her husband to bring her a sack of flour from a near-by store. He started to do so and that was the last she saw of him until one day last week when he walked Into tbe house with a sack of flour on his shoulder, saying as he set It down that he had not for gotten the errand. He has been In the far west, has accumulated a good deal of money and will take Mrs. White to his western home. ill aatural aver, Oflo. of tbts . ! commercial 5i. l.-r...a district had tWK-aV n r years ago to 6-,-several bat ca Ai atatd tn h soma ' and as he has shlppff " B years 3,392,240 pounds'?"" guano from these caves ; has received about $48 per'tx. i-.

It can be readily under stood that bat guano possess;. great value as a fertiliser, and the raise of the caves Is enhanced by the (act that beneath the guano Is a considerable deposlte of phosphate rock (the re mains of defunct bats), which, Whem ground up and treated with phosphoric acid, is highly prized as a fertilizer. Since the discovery of these ancestral homes of the bats. In which they have made their resting place for unnum- ibered centuries, the search tor more such caves has continued intermittent ly, and it is probable that many more valuable finds of this nature will be made; for the section of the country in which they He, is literally infested with this obnoxious, but very lucra tive little creature. The caves which are frequented by hats, are of lava formation, and carry evidence of hav ing been subject to violent volcanic ac tion. A remarkable bat trait Is men tioned, which has the effect of render ing the caves of permanent value. It seems that after the entire front of the first of these caves to be opened had been torn down to within a Coot or so of the narrow openings through which for centuries the bats have come and gone, the little creatures continued, and still continue, to fol low the ways of their ancestors. Fly ing upward past the large openings, they would squeeze In and out of tbe caves as of old. Since the first clean ing out of one cave, seven tons of guano have been removed, all of which had been deposited subsequently to the first removal. It Is estimated that from the deposits which have already been discovered, there has been taken' an annual crop of about 1,500 tons of guano. COAL AND IRON. Mineral BMource of the Chlneee Empire Arc Great. The mining and metallurgical sec tion of the Franklin Institute held a stated meeting in Philadelphia recent ly. The president, Joseph Richards, was In the chair. Professor Lynwood Garrison delivered the address of tbe evening on "The Mineral Resources of the Chinese Empire." The speaker in opening gave a general survey of the physical geography and geology of this vast country, and then spoke specifically of his personal observa tions made during a recent professloa al visit to Northeastern China, calling special attention to the fact that a large part of China is underlaid by coal, much of which Is anthracite of high quality, comparing favorably in this respect with the best of Pennsyl vania anthracite. The extent of these beds, however, far exceeds our own, and, moreover, their location is such that the extraction of the coal will be a comparatively easy matter. He ex pressed the belief that In a short time China would enter the markets of the world as a great coal producer. Pro fessor Garrison , also alluded to the great extent and accessibility of tbe Iron ore deposits and Incidentally to the fact that ore of antimony occurred there in greater abundance than in any other part of the world. Quick silver deposits of unequaled richness, he said, were likewise known in the country. The speaker Illustrated his remarks with a number of mineral specimens and exhibited a series of views showing the crude methods of mining employed by the natives. He also showed a series of typical views of Chinese scenery, Including fortifica tions, harbors, public buildings, etc. TEMPLE OP CONFUCIUS. It U a Sacred Spot to the People of tho Chlnene Empire. The temple of Confucius at Chu fouhslen is the Westminster abbey of China and the grave of that sacred personage Is the most noted spot In the grounds. A sacred mound sur mounts the remains of Confucius. Near the mound Is a building erected for the meditation of those who ren der homage to the greatest Chinaman who ever lived. Near by la a tree, said to have been planted by Confu cius or, rather, the trunk of it, for it Is dead. The tree Is on a circular stand of stone and mortar, close by a huge table of stone that looks like marble, having been polished by a de voteee. The mound is only twelve feet high. Before It is a tablet 'bear ing the name and at the foot of the tablet is tbe famous incense vase, says the London Mall. The Inscription reads: "Chlh Sheng Helen Shin K'ung Tzu," which means the perfect sage, the former teacher, the philoso pher K'ung. Near to the tomb of Confucius is that of his son, who died four years before the Chinese seer; but the tomb of his grandson attracts more notice, because it is almost as grand as that of Confucius. There art thou sands of graves near the shrine of Confucius and the nearer they are the better tbe lot of the departed, ac cording to the belief of the Chinese. The keepers of the temple demaai fee before showing ths place to for eigners. Keep your cbia a. (If 9Wi of ft woman, you won't have to k XX
