THE DISMAL SMAMP CANAL. BY BH0DE8 CAMPBELL. All Akenside was stirred bv the new. mat tne commander would bo borne lor faster. To the younger aenera tion he was a hero, perhaps all the mora so on account of his long sb- eenoe. Then he was naval ofllocr, and he had had a romance, which keenly interested tho young people especially. He had never visited our little town since he had left it that memorable day after his unfortunate marriage. Rumors of this and that had rcaohed the ears of tho good folk of Akensido, but it was from tn intimate friend of Barbara Lippincott that I heard the atory. The oommandor King West was early left alone in the world.and made Ilia Lome during holiday times at the l.ippinoottn', who were old friends of his mother. He was at college with Ned Lippincott, and then was sud denly seized with tho fever to be a ailor. An influential friend of his father's gained him the appointment; ha pasted the requisite examination, and entered the Haval Academy. He had graduated, and was about to enter upon his new duties, when his health anddenly failed. It was a not unoom mon story of a fine physique and per feet health mined by persistent disre gard of all bygienio rales. He eam to the only home he had known for years, as every one thought, to die, H did not give up without a deeper ate straggle.

He had heard lately of his f riends's condition. and had come to urge upon him an Arabian remedy which had been given him by an uncle whose life had been passed in the Orient. A native, whose life he had saved, had presented it to him. With no faith, but partly to please his friend, partly because a dying man catches at any Btraw which will pre serve life, King followed the prescrip tion and treatment, and, to everyone's amazement, he improved, and, after many weeks, was restored to his old vigor. Of course, few gave credit to this remedy: few knew of it: bnt whatever it was, the young man xe covered. And then to Barbara came the shock ot finding that the restored life of her old friend meant bondaae to her. W sue a murderess at heart ? OL, no, no !
