You have already as good as told me that he is but one remove from a saint. I do detest your quiet, saintly men j there 1" ''Mv dear, don't bo angry over it," said Uncle James, quietly. "If you do not like John Pulton there will be no harm done. I know his name is not so fanciful as Npence Arnott's, neither has he so large a share of his sautanie majesty in his composition as that young gentleman ; but what's the use of talk ing? You have a woman's idea, Marion. A man to make any headway with your sex must have a sprinkling of satan running pretty thickly through his compilation." 'Uncle, I think it is a shame for you to speak disparagingly of Spence Arnolt," cried Marion, with an indignant toss of her head. "Don't flare up so, child j I didn't menu to speak ill of Spence.' II a is a careless, fun-loving young man; that's all that can be said against him ; but my dear, I will say that he isn't to be com pared to John Dutton, as you may learn some day." "I shall never think any man better than Spence Aroott. Everybody has I heir likes and dislikes, uudo. 1 like Spence " "And you have made up your mind to dislike John Duitun?" imurrupted uncle James. Mirion made no reply. Spoiled child that she was, she was ashamed to ac knowledge that her uncle hit the truth. She had determined to dislike John Duttou. "Who wns that talking In you at the gate, Marion r Linked like a preacher. "Hush, spencer, he may hear you. That is John Duttou " 0, the young gentleman I've heard your uncle spean so uiten iidoui. lie interests me more than I thought he would, but I " detest him for nil that, Marion was going to say, but Bpeuce in terrupted her with : "I should say ho did interest you I You seem tu be on very friendly terms for such a short acaoaintance " said Spence, a slight frawn showing lUelt ou bis lair, baud, some face. Marion's heart bounded with delight ere was a chance tu torment bpeuce us be bad toro.euted her all the week, und she said : 'tjlot on any mors friendly terms than what you've been with Clara Mawbray, for the past week or two." Spencer looked down ut tho pretty, piquant face. He olten conlessed to himself that he did not tike to tease Marion ! As Uncle James said, he was careless, fun-loving : be said and did treat many things he was sorry lor; but n recard to tins last accusation in Mai ion' he was innocent. If be hud shown any unusual attention to Claru Muwbrav. it was unintentional ou his part. Whether it was that he was in miceiit of Marion s charge, or mat her appenrauco of undue Iriendlincsi to this favorite ol Uncle James' annoyed Spence, we cannot say. lut he was annoved more thai) ha would cine to canfess, fur under his careless ex terior lay vast depth of love for Marion. ''lou have no grounds for nmLing tht assertion, M irion,'' said Spence with more indignation in his voice ttiun be bad ever used to Marion. Marion tossed her head, though she had good ground for her nssertiotn, and stood upon them so firmly, that Spence left her in a fit of pique. Marion watched bis tall, manly form disappear down the road. hat a kindly fellow ,spence was I rsever be fore did she take ootice of the width of his shoulders, ur the manner in which he carried his head, so thickly covered with tawny, curling locks. How foolish she was to quarrel with hpence j and Marmu heart rose in her throat, and her eyes filled with tears. Was ever a hero in a novel handsomer than he and to quar rel with him for that plain, matler-of-luct John Dutton. 1'erhaps it was John Diiiton's tall, lank, misshapen form appearing upon the lawn, that revealed Spence' fine proportions si vividly to Mirion. Surely one could never make hero nut of him t And think that she bad quar reled with peuco on his account. She would never speak to the burred man gala ind it was Dot eooujh for Marion to this, but she sought Uncle James, and told it to him with a btamp of her foot and a toss of her head, and Uucle James said : "My dear you are altogether too romantic," which was the truth for the old gentleman. Marion tried her best to dislike John Dutton, but she was interested in him in spite of herself. There was something in the man's nature that she could not fathom ; perhaps it was this that in terested her so much, lie looked ut her so gravely ; indeed, he even went so fur ns to shake his head at her wilful conduct, and will) that shukc of his head, John Diitton put his foot in it, Mari.oi had her ow i wav nil her life, and she would let John Dutton see she would not be dictated to by him. lie was throwing a spell over hor that was every day becoming harder to resist. Indeed, she was miserable ever since he came to her home miserable for Speuco Arnott, whom she loved? did not like John DotlO'i, and w is growing colder towards him every day. "I will not have him regard me as tho chief of sinners. I will not all him to come between me und Spence!" cried Marion, "1 will be as wicked as I posiily can before him ;" and, unthink ingly, Marion threw her little pet dog, which she had been foil 1 ling, from her lap as she rose from the cat ou tho porch. Tho dog struck the stone (1 tor in a manner that madu him howl piteously for a minute, und in that moment John Duttou appeared and shook his head gravely at M irion. lie spoke not a word, but Marion understood him, and s uil : "It s only a dog, and any way U s mine, and 1 shall do what 1 pleusu with him." 'Only a dog, Miss Marion! ' Ho pray th well who lovoth well, And things, both groat and small ; For lh dear God who lovelh us, 11 illi made ami loves us all." Marion's eyes filled with tears. Some- thing in thu depth of his blown eyes, s onething iu his gcntlu voice touched her heart with remorse. 1 1 ci cast no in fluence over her that she could not tasily resist. Just nt that moment she felt like telling him that she did not mean to do that cowardly act, bat as just us she was about to speak Spence Arnott, who had been iu the house unknown to her, step ped out upon the porch. The tears wcie still in Marion's eye's as a matter of course, she 1 looked con fused. Ah, I beg pirdo-t for intruding," said Spence, nb.iut to step back. ' lou are not intruding, Mr. Arnott; I believe you have a right here!" said John Dutton, quietly, and turning away ho entered the house, 'Marion, what docs this mean?" cried Spence, an nngry ll ish spreading to liie roots of his hair, us be perceived Marion's agitation. "() Spencer cried tuo impetuous girl umble to control the tears which were fast rolling down her cheeks ; "don't be ai gry, he is so good I" "so good I 1 hate him, there: and Soence Arnott strode uni'illv nwuv. j- - ..... n - j - Marou stood looking alter Spence. She was the picture of grief and despair, and John Dutton's heart was filled with sorrow as he watched her from within the window. le came tu this house to meet his fate a fate of which he now little dreamed, lie had learned to love the handsome, wilful girl standing out there uu the porch, but that look on hor face now, as sho gazed after Spence Arnott, told him, beyond doubt, where her heart was. IJe had uoihiug to hope for. That night John Dutton was awakened from his sleep by some great coufusiou in the house. Through his wiud w he saw that the sky was in a blazo. There was a big fire somewhere in the neigh borhood, and in an instant he was up and dressed. He went down stairs, and the first one ha met was M irion, in bon net aud clonk, crying and wringing her hands. Oh, Mr. Dutton, will you take me there? Tho Arnott mansion is in 11 lines caught fire while tho inmates were nil sleeping. 1 must find out whether every one has escaped." John Dutton drew tho little hand wiihiu his arm, and hurried out into the night air. I lis heart beat painfully with tho liltlo baud upon his arm. but hu spoke not a word until they reached the burning building. 'Hive nil the inmates escaped Irom the building?" be nsked a bystander. "jlo ; they are olTcriiig a large reward to any one who will venture in and save young Soence Arnott ; but it is ns much ns a mm man s life is worth ''Spence in the building vet?" shrieked Marion. ' Oh, tlod, mercy I We patted in anger to-day. O i, Mr, Datton, I shall die, if I canuot speak to Sper.ce once more I Ouo moment John Dutton looked down on the white, appealing face. He caught her bands with a vice-like B"l- ''Marion, I will save him, or perish io the attempt? The reward I ask is that yon will thick of mo sometimes. He tore himself away from Marion, and entered tho building, enveloped in Q unos. "I heard you tell Marion to-day how you bated me, but I forgivo you, and have come to save you, because she loves you. lie kind to her always." Spence Arnott was saved, but the voice that whispered the ubovo in his ear was lost forever mid the burning "Marion, ho lost his life saving mine, for your sake. My darling, let us ever cherish the name John Duttou," suid Spence Arnott, reverently, as he gath ered Marion to his heart. riaiu John Dutton I Marion thought that name immortalized, and why not? Oreater love hath no man than this, that ho lav down his life for his friend." THE KINQ AND TRAVELERS. telling be p. story- having drink, at the ol A WALRUS HUNT, Three travelers, ho had been found asleep in the roynl park, where once brought before King .1 illimon, Tlwy said they were story-tellers, who earned their living by relating tales and le. genrfs. "It that bo so, said tho king, ' and if you can tell stories worth hearing, you are indeed welcome. The court story teller has just been banished for tho same story twice. It would right royal idea to have three tellers instead of one." So the three travelers, nfter been refreshed with food and were bidden to ssai themselves august feet ol King J illiiiion. Presently one of them told the la! tho wise cut. A ceitain cat set out to seek his for tune, and traveled through the whole world.. At last he caimi to a country here a cat had never been bekvo The inhabitants were at first frightened by the strange monster but having ob served puss killing the mieo with which the country was overrun, they plucked up courage, and approaching him, re quested that he should follow them he fore the king. 1'uhs complied willingly enough, and the end of the matter was that ho was installed rat catcher to the king, and a large salary bestowed upon him. The faithfulness with which puss discharged his duties raised him high in the royal regard, and a circumstance soon occurred which a lvanced him still further. The king took his nap by an open window, and had n pi ite of cher ries placed beside him that he might eat them when he awoke. A cr from the, neighboring forest constantly stole the fruit, nor had ull the ill" u Is of the king's servant succeeded in destroying the bird. The cat, h iwevor, concealed himself ia ihe wind iw-hangl'gs, and pounced upon tho unlucky marauder, and broke his neck. The king was full of gratitude, and ordered that puss's salaiy be increased. Soon after a bear came and ravaged tho king's (lock. His majesty commanded puss to kill him. "I can only d what I um able," pleaded the cat ; but the king pisisted. While puss was coming, bruin alticked the store of n swarm of bees, and was stung to death. "Vou have d me ns I knew you would, my dear cat," said the king, and would listen to no explauutions The cat received the Order of the Koyal Shoe.slrinf'. Next an elephant etmo nml ravished the crops. The king sent the cat to at tack him. "Alasl 1 can only do what I nm able," again pleaded tho cat, but there was no miuiim the king. While the cat was coming, the into a pit and was killed. 'Y mi have done as would," said the king once more the cat received the Order of the elephant I I knew you mill Hill Captain Markham thus speaks of a walrus hunt in the "Great Frozen Sea :" 1 Three of these large nnimals were observed on a piece of ice, their large, ungainly forms stretched out, lazily en joying their siesta. Volunteers were not wanting for the purpose of attempt ing their capture; but, us uu tnlicrim i nute u'titk would only lead to failure, it was determined to dispatch one of the wliale-h'-iils, specially fitted with a har poon gun and ull tho necessaiy imple ments mid ce.ir for securii'g these animals, iu order to effect n moie ",rgauiz"d and skilful manner the object wu had in view. Great difficulty ex perienced in approaching our prey, us the bout had to be hauled over l.i so fragments ol ice, and pushed through a sludgy consistency of soft ice snow and water, in which the oars wen; useless; so that it was feared tho unavoidable noise would disturb and frighten them away. At length, after nm It trouble and no liitle exertion, we succeeded in getting wilhio about eight yards, so sound was their repose, without exciting tho least suspicion in their minds that danger was lurking ill their vicinity. At that distance, however, they evinced n degree of restlessness, by lifting their shaggy heads and uttering jetky spas modic snorts, that showed us only too plainly a retreat was meditated. Select ing tho largest of tho three of his victims our harpooaer carefully laid his gun. A iiiome.it of breutliles suspense followed, to be relieved by tha report of u gun, n roar of pain und rage, and the disappearance in tho water of thu three walruses, while the piece of ice, on which a moment before they had been reposing, was covered with blood, convincing us that our shaft had Ukeo effect. If any luither proof was required in corrobo ration of this fact, a tugging at the line and iho sudden moving of the boat was sullicienl. I,auce; und rifles were quickly seized ; fir these animals, when ivoundcJ anil maiuii'iiej uy pain, tiro I'ogly and dangerous customers, and have fiequcnlly been known to rip the planks out of a boat with their formida ble tusks, und thin sen mly endanger the lives uf the crew. We had not long to iv si i t ; a disturbance in the water cl ise alongside denoted that our victim was coming t ) the surface. An instant after, his bearded lace, with every expression of infuriated rage jnd demoniacal hate, his fiery eyes glaring with vengeance, appeared, and was immediately saluted with two or three rifle bullets. This warm reception served only to incer.se and inhale him, and ho tried hard to wreak his vengeance tn the boat; but his enemies were too powerful, und with the united nid of bullets U 'd lance thrusts, tho unwieldy breast was forced to succumb to the superior power of hio human antagonists. Towing the great carcass back to the ship, it was hauled on the floe and quickly flinched. The blubber and 11 'sh were packed in bar rels, making u very welcome uddilion to the sin ill amount of food that we had on bourd for out dngs." WHY WOMENCAN'T VOTE. THE SAME OLD DRUNK. A big Judgo recently fined an old souk live dollars and costs fur drunken, ness, and gave him an admouitor to get sober as speedy as possible. V couple of days after the same chap was again before him on another charge of the same kind, nml again he was mulcted in tho S'lin of ti o dollars and costs. After n-cci'ing sentence the prisoner fum meled in his pocki't for a moment, as if fishing for t lie wherewithal I o satisfy the dciiniods nf tha outraged law, when a li ii PI y thought struck him : "See heie, Judge, you hain't givo mo the square thing." "Why, what's thu mailer?" was the judicial response. "Jest this," suid the inebriate, "don't the coi.s'.ituiion of the United States say that you can't fine a man twice for the same nlfei'Se." "I believe it does say something to that nllect. niiswered the judge. "Well, then you're froniust the con siitiition, iiicmitcd tho earnest speaker. "Vou fined me the other day und here vou go and clap on another dose now." "Well wasn't you drunk then?" said the judge. "1 expect I was," responded the prisoner. "Well, ninl you drunk now?" thun dered Nathan. "I admit the fact," was the retort of the prisonor. "Then what are you raising such a fuss about f" said jho ju.lgc.
