At last Peter's heavy step sounded on the stairs. Eliza heard her mother's quavering tones, then she, watched through the triangle of glass, Peter walk to the sunflower stalks. He stood for a long time, looking Into the black hole. Then he walked quickly down the road. When he came back, with a man from the next farm, a till, angular figure, topped with a huge straw hat, Lizy noticed .again, half as in a dream, how different was his step from his usual lounging gate. He threw down the pulleys and ropo he was dragging, and looked toward her window. Then he came up through the clattering gale. He was carrying two boards from the old platform. He set them on end, one on either side of Lizy's window, and spread over them a faded blanket which hung on the fence. It was dark In the room. Lizy turned her face to the wall. "No use havin' her see,' he re marked gruffly to the neighbor. The 'shrewd eyes under the big hat looked at him curiously. "This is a bad lot for yer sister," the man said awkwardly, and there was a silence of several minutes. "I don't know," said Peter presently, as he hitched the rope around his wrist and looked into the weir. The neighbor glanced at the boy again, from under his flapping brim. "D'ye hear that all that there gold over to Buffum's ain't worth the cost o washin' it out?" "No," said Petgr. . They said nothing more, as they walked slowly, pulling the heavy ropes, out into the pasture, down the side-hill, to the rosin-weeds. "Darb was as pretty a horse as ever I see, fifteen odd year ago," remarked the neighbor, as they came back up. the hill. But when he turned down the road between the box-elders, he looked back at the heap of stones in the sun flower "patch, and nodded his "head until his hat-brim wavered. "He's found more'n Buffum has." In the little kitchen, Peter was tak ing Eliza's bowl from his mother's hands. "I'll take it," he said quietly. "No, now, I wouldn't Peter; you'll on'y aggavate her." But Peter opened the door, and went in, closing it behind him. Eliza heard his step, and when she reached her white, bent hands for the bowl, the frown had gone from her face. Peter had found something in the old well. She watched his broad shoulders, as the door closed on them. Across the blue plaid cf his sleeves there .vas a dusty line, where a rope had pulled heavily. His tattered trousers hung in shreds about his grass-stained an kles. "I kin mend, when my fingers limber up a little," she said, turning her wrists slowly. The sunlight, just let in through the triangle of clean glass, fell across the bed; there was a sound of boards dragged away, and looking out, she saw the heap of stones, high and red, in the sun-flower stalks. LITERARY NOTES. "The Revenge of the Four," which will appear in McClure'a magazine for January, is a short story by Mr Josiah Flynt and Mr. Francis Walton, and it is one of remarkable interest. In it the reader will learn something very definite as to the relations between politics and plunder in that underworld of which Mr. Flynt is recognized as the authori tative chronicler. The illustrations are of peculiar appropriatenea in this nar rative of nefarious doings, for they are drawn from studies of types in tbe RogueB' Gallery. An original feature of an unusual kind is the extremely spirited Christmas poem written for the Outlook by Dean Stubbe, of Ely Cathedral, England. It ia called "Ave Jeeu," and it has been set to music for tbe Outlook by the or ganist and choir-master of York Ca thedral, Mr. T. Tertius Noble. It is printed with decoration and illustra tion.
