Dan Fuller was crossing a bleak, rooky bill on bis way to his honie in a. sheltered bt t'e uuok at the foot of the bill 110 neara, or be thought be heard, somebody calling. He stop ped abruptly. He turned bis excit ed face toward the pci tossing restlessly to the east of the hill. "Seems like Will calling," said Dan eagerlv. He listened again. It seemed to come 0!'.ce' move: "Han ! J bin ! Dmi !" Was it that or only the wind blowing over the white-rapped waves in the bay and then moaning through the firs at th'f-Ktof the lull? A bova excited in ntrit'.nt'oii woull explain all the rtst. 'It is Will!" said Dan. Will was l atil'tilier's brother. The iv.i uti:n -fore 1 o had gone to the east ward in a ( ilo'.ic-.'stertisbing smack whi'.-h inner made harbor aga'n. The wild, wrecking s-a somewhere covered every trace of the ii-her-bov from Gloucester. Will and Dan bad bad a strong desire to ry their luvk in a fishing trip. -The 7i:uthe-v bad consented that Will might g. but Dan must stay at home. Not withstanding his brother's loss Dan had nn 0V1 mastering desire to try his band. Since, his brother's death that pitiless pea somehow fascinated him more than ev r. "I must surely g- now," he paid, hur rving home, that gustv day, across the bill. The Widow Fuller, as her neighbors 'ailed her, was busy w ith her prepara tions for supper in the little red farm ? 'us r o.uiy tucked into a niche in the hill. Arthur, the oldest son, who thrift ily managed the farm, had just gone out to the long barn that snugly sheltered the cattle. "Mother," said Dan, as he entered the kitchen, addressing her very abruptly, "I must go to sea." "Oil, Man!" "I think mother," he said, lowering !iis voi -t, "I think I heard his voice It s mu'ied just line mm. His voice, Dan ? lou mean ill ? "Yes, coming over the hill," he ans wered, soberly. "She said nothiug more. She knew Dru's nature: that hasty opposition Mould be harmful. She asked Arthur's j advice. "Well, mother," he said, "you know those two boys were just crazy for one another. Will's gone and Dan's more re--tl.;s than ever. I think he has a salt wider trouble that only salt water will cure, and you might as well let him go now as any time. You don't want me to say that, but it's the way I feel." it was decided the next day that Dan might go. He did not tell everything in his heart. He b lievel that in ail pro b.dality Will was lost, but we all know that w hen out of that great, sad mystery, "Lost at sea,"' there cjmes neither face ivr form nor voioe to bring any positive intelligence, the heart clings to a very faint, shadowy hope that perhaps some one ileal- to us may yet be alive. T shall never be sitisfied," Dan would say to himself, "till I go to the Banks where Will wus last seen." When the neighbors knew that Dan Fuller was going off in the fishing- hooi'.er, the "Jaunty," from the port of Gloucester, there were many good wish s expressed. Ben Lovis did not say any thing i!,.;iSant. He was a stout. he avy boy about Dan's age. He had i been an o.d rival of Will Fuller in the days when together they went to school, or swam off the beach below the hill, or fished in a dory that swung lazily in tho swell off Bocky Point. The rival had lu'cvno a bitter enemv. He had said hard, untrue things of Will Fuller. The vessel in which Will went off fish- ing had not bad a good name at Glou- ! cester. Ben La i seen it, came home j one day and maliciously commended it ' 7 M ll i Lz. to Will, who ventured bis all when he concluded i f iu it.

The ''Jaunty," was a schooner built lor the fisheries, rigged fore and aft, and rated at "eighty tons." When Dan went down into the cabin be oro Ain't this cute" It wag ft little cabin, tiers of bunks oc cupying its sides, and in the centre was a table that Black Bob, the . cook; had set with all the tempting items of a chowder dimifr. Hello! There's Dan! Sot rihl down!' cried Clipper Tim Jeffrey in o loud, hospitable voice. 13es! Jes the skipper,Dan did not think that he knew one of the hands at thi table, but bis stage ride to Gloucester had given him an appetite sharp and strong. A chilling wind was blowing out of the east, and the little cabin was warm and sheltered and homelike. "Isn't this splendid.'" exclaimed Dan, half way through his first plate of chow der. "Is it' said ft low Voice behind him, "Wait until ye've tasted salt walel- down by the Banks." Dan turned and there was Ben Lew is. "You here." 6aid Danj abruptly. 'O' course I am! Don't ureenborns need to bo told what to do by some body" asked Ben, with a sneer. "Well," replied Dan, "if I am all that, it will be like one sculpin telling another eculpin how to bite at a hook." The sculpin is one name for a fish that has an immense cave for a mouth, and if its name were Changed to "gulping," it would be very appropriate. The men at the table laughed heartily. Skipper Jeffrey yelled out, 'Turty good!" Ben scowled and looked sullen as a fog bank. He did not make any other attack oii Dan that day or the nextj but, although he was silent, Dan was very sorry to see him. "If I had known he would be here, don't believe I should have come," thought Dan. Then he thought of Will, of the great sea which, while covering up all traces of Will, might yet reveal some sign of him or tho vessel in which lie bad sailed. "I am gla l I am here," thought Dan. "I will do the best I can." Favorite resorts of the Gloucester fishermen are the Grand Bank3 01 New- found'and, and also banks known as the "Georges." The fishermen go in small vessels, braving the wildest weather for the sake of the fare that these fishinc: grounds promise. Peculiar dangers attend these trips. Sometimes their vessels lie in the patli way 01 the huge iron racers between Europe and America, and down into the oc. an may be pressed tho daring little Yankee vessel. One method of fishing is that old-fashioned way, by hand, and the other Is that of the traw l, a long, Htout rope from which bang mauv fish ing lines. The lengthy trawl is stretched out and buoyed up, anel then to the sus pended hooks rush the greedy cod, many of them never going away again. The setting and hauling of the trawls may le attended with serious risks when the fogs settle down thick and blinding, an 1 the trawlers anxiously ask, "Which way is the schooner?" It may be stormy weather, too, upon the Banks, and the little craft may not outride the gale Dan FulUr worked diligently, and every opportunity that he had, when other versels met the "Jaunty,' I e asked again and again if anvthing had been heard of Will's vessel, the "Fish- Hawk." "Oh, she 13 lost, sure !" was the answ er given more than once. "Didn't you know that ?" asked one Bkipper. "Thought the 'Fish-Hawk' was given up long ago." Dan ahvavs had a sorrowful face after these interviews Dan and Ben Lewis worked side by side, but Dan knew that he did not work with a friend. Ben lost no opportu nity to show that be was Dan s enemv This ha I been specially noticed just before tho breaking loose of a heavy gale out of the northeast. How the wind whistled throueh the rigging of the "Jaunty I" Every shroud, stay, ratline, became the wire of a harp. firm, tense, and resonant in the wild wind playing upon it. Again and again Dan seemed to hear Will's voice calling, "Dan ! Dan ! Dan !' Then Dau would shake his head mourn fullv. The sea was swollen into huge frightful billows, and they weie crested witn foam, which, breaking, would be ; flung down their green slopes till the; looked like great monsters, maa ana frothing. The " Jaunt v was anchored but the strain on her hawser was very eevere. While one moment there was room for doubt whether she would be kept from drifting, another moment a rreat sea might sweep over ner tiecu There was room for feav that these huge hammer-like billows might seriously pound and bruise her, "Look out !" cried Dan to Ben. "Look out yourself !" snarled Ben. "I mean to !'' said Dan, gripping coil of rope one end of which was fasten ed to a ringbolt. "Babies tie up !" was Ben's sneerin comment on Dan's prudence. The next moment, Ben was going over the vessel's rail in the strong, tierce grasp of a sweeninc billow ! Dan clung for bis life. "Good enough for him!" muttered Dan. It was then he seemed to hear a voice. "Dan ! Dan ! Dan He looked np amid the flying spray, Tt, is Will !" he moaned. Tie seemed to hear his mother's voice. too, saying, "If you ever want to do wrong, you hear his voice calling you away from it The next moment Dan had kicked off bis hpavv boots, was climbing the schooner's rail, still clinging to one end of that rope, and then threw himself into the sea. lien was just nneao, luiumg now and with ghastly face looking to ward the schooner. He could swim, but he was no match for Dan, who was called at home a water-dog. In that confusing, driving sea, amid those terrible billows swelling, towering, Ben's strength would soon have been exhausted. He could now make out that somebody was com ing from the schooner toward him. He could make out a face. He caught a GOLDSBORO, W, glimpse of the rope. II aroused him to new effort. Ho swnra harder. Tliero, in the terrible sea, Dan find Ben met, and Dan shouted ; "Hold on to this !" A dozen rttonj?. trcwri band3 w-era i;.i . u.-n;. . i: i- i, h.ii : -i . miuuu luauiuB iuimcui;an aua uen clung. "Easy, boys !" shouted the skipper to his men. "Pull stiddy ! Look out for breakers !" Clinging to any chance support as they pulled they drew out of that maelstrom of death the twd young fishermen. A. monh after this the "Jaunty" sail ed, one Tuesday into Gloucester har bor. Wednesday Dau was ft home in the little red farmhouse, telling abcu his trip. "Mother." said Dan. soberlv. "I thought I might hear something "abont Will at the Banks, but I didn't hear a word about Will. I heard him calling me, one fearful fetbrm;'' "lou did?" nYes, mother." He did not tell her he had obeyed the voice and rescued Will's enemy. Others told the mother about the rescue. "Didn't pick up anything about Will, mother, but I feel nearer to him," said Dan. Widow Fuller started, urged by some unknown fear. Arthur was observant. He noticed her agitation. "Mother," he said, at dusk, when they were alone, "guess I wouldn't en courage Dan to talk about ill "I don't, Arthur." "You see, it lays in mv mind just this way, the boy is crazy to find his brother, and I believe it was the secret of his going away. Don't you see, mother? Nowj he thought he heard Will, but it was only Dan's mind a-workin bhe was silent. ' "Folks that talk that wav about them that are gone will I don't knowj but it makes me shiver. . It did not make Dan shiver. When a fever set in which the doctor said could be traced back to Dan's exposure iu that etorni at the Banks, Dan waw out of hu head and talked about Will, but these thoughts were not unwelcome. They seemed to make a restful music in the sick boy's soul. 'Arthur, he s no better, moaned the widow, "the doctor says he can't be well again, and he's all the time a-talkiu' about Will. Can't find him. you see. Hark!" A summons from Dan's Bed. "Open the window!" be said. They raised the window toward the sea, and the gentle hushed roar along the sands,could be heard in the chamber of death. "Hark!" said Dan, looking up. a soft. bright light shining in his dark eyes. "Don't you hear him?' " W bo is it? sobbed his mother. "Hark!" don't von hear Will? He's a- calling! He's come! I knew be wasn't lost! Oh, no no " The next moment the fisher-bov bad found his brother and they w ere joined foi evermore. Christian Vniont AN OSTRICH FARM. Watching a Young Bird Break Out of Its Immense Shell. We passed along with scarce a glance at the side shows, for we were anxious to facj in ostrichwith a stout fence between. We found as we approached that this protective provision was doubly emphasized, for there were two stout wooden railings keeping us at a respect ful distance from his majesty, stalking around iu solitary graneleur, or stopping t ) gaze at us with a vicious craning of his long, lean neck. There were 20 full grown ostriches, riach ill a separate pen, or rather open spa.-o fenced in. Tcey looked about seven feet high, even tailor when they suddenly stretched out their necks. But, oh, the gorge ousnesa of their wings! Great masses of rich, black, velvety ostrich plumes, drooping off' into a snow-white cluster at tht ir tips. 1 wonder that kings do not renounce the traditional ermine and as sume these more majestic emblems of royalty. These birds are perfectly bare above the neck and legs, and although their whole body is covered with rich plumes, the fullest and ' longest and choicest are gathered from their wings, Twice a year they are plucked, nnd the annual revenues which they bring to their possessor is, according to all ac counts, quite a little fortune. The fin est rair are valued at SS00. They live on alfalfa, a sort of clover (of which this country produces three and four crops a year), pounded ovster shells and corn, their prodigious digestive powers rather snubbed, it seems to me, by this mild diet; perhaps, however, it serves to slacken their depraved propensities, for I was told that only a short time before one of the keepers was pecked and bitten to death by the savage onslaught of one of these birds. The ostrich eggs are huge affairs, as large around as a quart mcas ure. They lay out in the open field, and inst as I was hangiug over the fence, wickedly waing my jacket to make the majestio ostrich perform an undigmhd pirouette, one of the eggs broke open ami out popped a little ostrich. Im mediately there was a great commotion and everybody rushed breathlessly in our direction. The keeper was told the news and came hurrvmg on with eiaeu lations of surprise. He vaulted the two fences at the furthest distance from the mother ostrich and made in the direction of the new-comer; but when the mother bird took long strides in his direction, and manifested a lively curiosity as to his purpose, the keeper vaulted again over the nearest fence and disappeared from the scene. It was quite comical to seo the old bird with her new-born off spring. At first she disdained to notice the little thing, which looked about tbe size of a two months-old chicken, and sought to follow the parental guidance by running a few steps, and then quite I unexpectedly toppling over or turning a fecl.de somersault, i nan quite naieiui feelings against the mother bird, who bv this time stood prancing before us with her long, beautiful droopy pinnies think she saw by onr expressions that we did nota??prove of such Spartan moth erhood, such in natural calming of the emotions, for she immediately turned upon her heel and bestowed a motherly kiss vmon her solitary scion. There was a thrill of satisfaction along th whole line of spectators when she finally sat hei self down upon her nest and drew the ndv duckling under the shelter of Ler larely-plumaged wings. The right to pay taxg ku never tsen denied ffcmen. C, THURSDAY, AUG. 23, 1888. North, East and Wcsf. Chicago defectives are still looking for Ta?cott, the murder of Millionaire Suell.

Cheap Alnminidm. It ii possible that aluminium will soot become one Of the cheapest of metals. A report comes from Newport, Ky., to the effect that parties there have discovered a method of extracting this material in any desired quantity at a cost that will give it about the value of copr-.1. It is made, according to statement of the discoverers, from clay which Is a mixed alumnious earth, and from cryolite which is a double fluoride of sodium and alu minium. Their method is based upon the theory of substitution, the ore being smelted in a water-jacketed steel fur nace. When the mass is quite liquid the melted ore is allowed to run out into a converter or covered slagpot holding about 400 pounds. From this the melted metal is drawn out by a syphon, leaving the slag behind. This slag is said to be an excellent flux to aid the smelting.and by means of a furnace and apparatus made for the purpose, the operations can be carried on continuously as in making steel. If the statements which are given above as they come from New port can be relied on, the discovery is of the greatest importance. Atlanta Cjti ttituticn. An Edible Rose. Those who know that the rose is of the same family a3 the apple and the ptar may have wondered that the one should be so strictly given to flowei, while its cousins, the Iruds named, as also the strawberry and raspberry, are famous for eatable products. But the American Go rimer calls attention to a rose usable for culinary purposes.
