When the moon rose, orange -gold and glittering through the branches of tne butternut tree, Matty was still sitting there, her elbws resting -on her knees, and two bright tears oa her cheeks. Poor girl! She fancied herself the most miserable being. in the world. "Mr. li.'F'e eh?" Mrs. Mills had come to tne door in a bewildered way. "Proud to make your acquaintance, sir, I'm sure: but I didn't no .ways look for you before to-morrow morning. Hid over a-horseback, did you? Oh, no, h ain't no inconvenience to me not the least!

Suddenly there came a hesitating foot step oa the threshold out-ude. The door opened. Matty started from ;her book. She leaned over the big beam, all fringed with hay, which made the partition of her impromptu diyan. "Who's there?" she called. "Jim oh, Jim I Don't be frightened, it's me J 'Matty. I'm hiding from mother. We'v had a dilference of opinion.

'Oh, pror fellow, be must be very tired I" said Matty, hurriedly, hanging the lantern on a hook. "Open the big door, Lead him into one of the empty ttalls. Not that side.

"How should I know?" counter-questioned Aunt Betsy, irritably. "She was always as full of kinks a3 a clothesline on a wet day!" sighed Mrs. Mills. "I guess I'll jest have to clo ttie best I can without her. She was dread ful opposed to my boardin' the four rev erends; but I guess my will's as strong as her'n.

They are found only in the waters of the Harbor of Mauri tius, and when caught and held in the baud they emit a most "striking" noise a Found resembling that produced by tapping the bead of a tener drum. A careful examination of thi strange crca tuie fails to reveal any movement of the mouth, the only motion observable being just behind the gill slit, where a continu ous vibration of the skin may be sceu. The portion of the skin -which vibrates stretches from the clavicle to the bron chial arch. This is provided with four large bony plates and lies juH over tho ,1 !!' TJ. I air or 'M.vim luauuer. I'cum i clavicle is a curiously shaped long bone, which-is attached by the middle of the clavic muscle in such a manner as' to form lever with two arm'. The long arm of this horny lever is embedded in the ventral trunk muscles', und is capable of easy movement to and fro. The short arm slide-, during thi movement, over the rough inner side of the clavicle, which gives rise to a cracking noise which can be plainly heard at a distance of twenty feet.
