BUcknesfl out of the blaekneee, Fronted with dnzzIluR light. With a demonleh groan and a vomit of It teareth through tho night. SpIKttog-tVe vale with a m ighty shriek, Flying o*<r g lints of Btoel. With a whirl by the e.ige of a. precipice O ra lunge where the mnrahes reek, And the oozo is under th e wheel. High in tho a ir like a wounded bird. Spanning the trestle’s thread. Ere It plunged through the mountain of rock with a roar To g lide by the river bed. Ever and on like a haunted thing, Trembling and crazed with fear. With a Are at its heart that is eating deep And the speed of a dragon’s wing, As it crosees the plain and mere. Black o u t of the blackness, Monster of steam and steel. Yet a thing that Is living and human as A soul In the shaft and wheel. Servant of man th a t abides his will, Child of bis brawn and brain, It has made of the earth but a little place, It has levelled tho granite hill, Till tho ends of the earth are plain. —Chicago Evening Post. Uvea, decided to re h a t on t h e v e r y o u t s k i r t s of t h e tow n . ode room , d iv id e d hy a In fr McCook, Arizona, having made all the money they could possibly use maining of t h e i r '* / In fact, we got to be *uob s good town that the wom- _ eu began to move in. No aoonet had they moved in than fancy linen made its appearance. The very next etep in the trium p h ant march of civilization was Lee Toy. Lee Toy came o riginally from China. For a living he washed shirts and other things. There was not a sign of a clond on the horizon of reform when Lee Toy came to town. We hadn’t had a shoot ing or a robbery or even a domestic quarrel in m onths So Lee, who was for peace, first, last a n d always, wel comed himself effusively when he moved in and settled down to enjoy life. Lee built himself 'a wonderful little ery It consisted of < red clothonrtain. In front Loe had hie offloej and did his washing. Be hind the cnrtaiu he kept his bed of pinon branohes and the comforts of his life, his pipes and his cooking utensils. Lee hang np his shingle end went to work. He washed well and would stand any amount of c redit, -and so he had a good business and thrived. 1 He was a little bit j f a runt of a man, bent in the ahonldere; decrepit and weak, with a ekiu like so muoh parchm ent and no more fight in him than in a dead broncho. 8o that all the men had to do when they wanted to have some fun without paying for it was to go up to L e e ’s shanty. Then while they pulled his q ueue and kicked and cuffed him Lee sim ply smiled end looked happy and turned the other cheek. The same'aforesaid merry makers never bore any grudge agaim t Lee for hia uncomplaining good nature and had no false pride about them when they wanted a clean shirt on cred it Lee gave them theii; fnn and their shirts and never com plained. Except to one. In the town lived Joe Johnson's widow. Joe lost his life up in the Superstition Mountains, and his widow took up his olaim where he left it off. She had one child, Little Bess, There wasn’t much about Best except a lot of skirts and fluffy hair and freckles. She w a sn't a pretty child, but she was all that J o e John- son's widow had and all th a t Lee Toy, Ihe laundryman, had in this world to And to her Lee complained. When her mother was away in the even ings Lee used to watch the little girl for her and then he used to pour out his heart full of sorrows. Bess didn't understand much of what he said, for Lee didn’t want her to think he was tgo nuhappy, and so he always jabbered the worst of his sor rows in Chinese. Bess couldn't u n derstand the words, but Bees h id a little heart in her breast, and that heart used to get tight and hurt when Lee jabbered in Chinese, until she couldn't help letting o u t a tear or two. Then she would pat L e e ’s ugly face with her little hands and tell him she wouldn't love the men who made him unhappy. That settled it with Lee. He d idn't care what happened after that. Bees wouldn't love them! That was enough for him. So he bore their taunts and their kicks with a smile on bis face, and let them go on with their m isera ble lives, because Bess didn't love But Lee thought he had more phil osophy than he really had, and one day the orowd found it out. The blows and the taunts h u r t a little bit too muoh and Lee came to his senses to find that he had throw n an iron at one of h is torm entors and very nearly killed him. That settled L e e 'r account with the town'of McCook. The Vigilance committee sat as a grand jury and heard the prejudiced witnesses. Lee wee doomed. At first there was lyuchiug in the air and it didn't improve the atm osphere very much either. Then some of the more Sgrcifel thought out a better scheme. U e result of it was that Lee was or dered to get ready to leave town They offered him the four corners of the compass. Lea choose to leave town by way of the Superstition Moon tains. Awsy down in h is heart he had a vague idea that out in the moan- teine he might find refuge with some of the miners T p on top of all his other thoughla was the one that per haps he might catch a eight of Bess as b# marched pest her mother's The proeeesion formed and the or der to march was given. Followed the face, afraid that her eyes, too, might condemn him. W ithout much thought of anything except to get away as far as possible from McCook, Lee stumbled slong over the rocky hills. Finally worn ont and weary he threw himself down, not c a ring much whether he lived or died. Then down in a littlo valley he saw a light. He knew it came from a m iner's hut, and with one last idea of food and lodging he made for the light. He had almost reached it when he heard a fearful shriek, and then tho door of the cabin burst open and ont of it poured half a dozen fiends in carnate. A moment later the cabin burst into flames. Lee knew at once what had hap pened. Cowering behind a great rock he watched the Apaches as they danced about the burning cabin, waving iu the air what he guessed to h e th e gory scalps of their victims. Then from their actions Leo saw that tho Indians intended to descend upon the sleeping town from which a few hours before he had fled. A fierce glow thrilled his heart, all hia wrongs and hatreds came back to him. Now he would he avenged, he thought, and in his soul he rejoiced that his torm e n tors were also to be persecuted. Then in the midst of the glare of the burning cabin a little face stood out full and clear, and Lee’s heart thum p ed fiercely in hia throat, and he swore that though little Bess might have believed L i n guilty and justly dealt w ith, he could not let her meet such a death. For the others he did not care. They had almost taken his life, but B e ss—she had not wronged him. So he hurried hack to the town. W ith quick and stealthy tread he made his way to the Widow John son's cabin. He knocked e t the door and in a few seconds the woman opened it for him. She cried out when she saw him and dragged him into the cabin. Then in a few words he told her what he had seen. \W e m u st be off,\ he cried, \they will be here in a few m inutes.\ THE SABBATH SCHOOL.

But Bees had said it, and so, with downcast eyes, ashamed that Be'bs should have had to rebuke him, Lee Toy s u rrendered. An hour later when the Apaches broke in upon the town they found it barricaded and well defended.

J OOO lii BonclKK® There. Zanzibar is a British protectorate umler tho nominal sovereignty of an Arab Sultan whom the British Govern ment placed on the throne, and the adm inistration of the island is almost entirely in the hands of British offi cials. Iu tho vast population it is estimated that some 280,000 persons are still in a s tate of bondage, although when Zanzibar came under British control one of the earliest judicial acts was to abolish therein the legal status of slavery. Recently in L o u don the subject was taken up and has of late called forth some pulpit orations. Tho British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society and the Anti- Slavery Committee of the Society of Friends appealed to the Under Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs to end the deplorable state of affairs. The officiaU of the Government reply that if they forced the slaves to be free untold destitution and starvation would result aud the industries of the island would be ruined. There is said to be no analogy between the institu tion of slavery in Zanzibar and that which has ever existed in any other part of the world. The Zanzibar slave has a house of his own and plot of land. He and his family are clothed; his children are educated and cured for, aud the m aster and slave both holding the same religious belief, the slave’s home life and personal rights are Iwth recognized and respected. These personal rights of the slave in clude the fixed tenure of his bondage; in other words, he cannot be sold to another m aster and transported else where at the cost of separation from his wife and family ami the breaking up of his home. The Government officials argue that should the Zanzibar slave be emancipated at once and at a single blow he would be deprived of every material advantage which is now hie. The majority of the freed blacks near the coast are said to have voluntarily r e turned to bondage. The Government sums up its reply to the I anti-slavery societies about as follows ‘‘Before we confer uyou the slaves of I Z anzibar the sentimental boon of ; liberty we m u st take steps to provide them with the mes is of utilizing that I liberty as wage earners; nud so far ] n o thing has been done iu this direc- j lion. To set them free without this ! condition would simply mean the , wholesale pauperization of the whole ' population of Zanzibar. f e s s l n g t o u e bo ra of (Jo ri In s lu . t th e n it is m a n ifest t h a t lie Is not a child of u n d e r tin) tape.
