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

Matty Mills, however, was not so far
distant as-her perturbed mother imag
ineuV
She had slipped in at the back door
of the barn, patted the red co.v who
stood ruminating in her stall, made her
self a cosy little nest in the fragrant hay
upstairs, and, light i the old lantern,
sat down to read.
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

'Oh, pror fellow, be must be very

the lantern on a hook. "Open the big
door, Lead him into one of the empty
ttalls. Not that side. Bassie is there
the cow and she isn't used to horse."
With quick, deft band, the irl tossed
down an armful of hay into the manger
and showed 3Ir. Beresford where to find

"No, ?hedcu-n't" siid Mr. B res'or J,

"Then where is she?" cried.Mrs. Mills.
"How should I know?" counter-questioned
Aunt Betsy, irritably.
"She was always as full of kinks a3 a

How the Drum-Fith Drums. z
At a meeting of the Berlin Physiolo
gical Society Profassor Moeliius described
a ntost peculiar specimen of the flimsy
tribe the drum dish. 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

clavicle is a curiously shaped long bone,
which-is attached by the middle of the
clavic muscle in such a manner as' to form

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
