What, she cried, suddenly clasping s, “if she should be drown what, her ed Lizzie Dupont had not always been a resident at the old mill, dependant ! on her needle for support. She had onco been, and that not so long ago, the petted daughter of a merchant prince in New York. But her father had failed, and died soon after, of a broken heart; and Lizzie would have starved, if it had not been for her maternal grandfather. *‘Come to me,” he had written, “Iam old and poor; but we will share our crusts together; if you have grown upto look like ysur dear mother, you will be the apple of my eye.” So Lizzie, ignored by her father's rich relations, had found refuge in this secluded spot. Refuge and peace, but. hardly hap- piness. Tn the days of her prosperity she had became acquainted with a young Englishman, the son of a titled family, and had plighted her troth to him, _Just before her tather's failure Ross Devereaux had sailed for Eng- land, intending, within six months, to return and claim his bride. But, from that day to this, Lizzie had never heard a word about him. At first she thought her letters had miscarried, and in the faith and trust writing. But, at last, and after dis- covering the heartlessness of her father’s relatives, she began to belieye that even Ross might be selfish also. ‘1L am poor now, and he deserts me,"” she said. ‘‘God help me! But it is, I suppose, the way of the world.” ately a new trouble had come up- on her. Her grandfather had been failing all winter, so that a man had to be hired to work the mill, and this had brought them into debt. Already there was a mortgage on the mill, for the grandfather had never been a prosperous man, and now the interest had fallen in arrears for nearly a twelve-month. The holder of the mortgage was a cruel, avaricious man. He had often threatened to turn out the little family, if his interest was not paid; and two weeks before he hud served a written notice that if the arrears were not forthcoming by the next Saturday, he would be as good as his word, Every day since Lizzie had risen by candle-light, and worked till bedtime. *‘If I can only get this embroidery done for Mrs. Watson,” she said, ‘‘by that dreadful day, 1 may raise part of the money, at least, and perhaps then he will wait for the rest.” But this afternoon a new and great- er trouble had come. Dossy, her lit- tle pet sister, had been nussing all day. The child often spent the mornings playing in the woods, but invariably returned to the noontide meal. On this occasion, however, she did not make her appearance. Lizzie was alarmed, and would have gone to seek her; but the grandfather took it more coolly: ‘‘She has stopped at some of the neighbors’,” he said, “‘she will be home for supper; don't fret dear.” Lizzie, thinking of the coming Satur- day, had allowed herself to be persuad- ed that all was right, and had gone back to her work. But, as dhe atter- noon wore on and no Dossy eame, she grew seriomsly alarmed. At last, throwing down her needle, she came out as we have seen. “‘Oh, Dossy, Dossy!"” she aried, when she had sorutinized the landscape vain- ly in every direction, ‘‘where are you! If God will only spare you, dear—if he will give you back towms alive - 1 will never repine again at anything,” But where was Dossy! Was she really lost! To explain this, we must go back to the afternoon before, and look at Dos- 8y, as she sat in the old-fashioned garden, swaying to and fro in a grape- vine swing, puzzling over the troubles of the family. She was watching a bobolink that sung in the heart of a lil’u‘uI bush, and talking to hersclf the while. “‘What a nasty, ugly old man that landlord is,” she said; “‘and he made !mur Lizzie ery so the other day, when he was here. He says he'll drive us from our "home, Why, then,” with sudden eonsciousness, ‘‘we'll have no place to live in, and T shall never hear you sing, birdie; nor have my flowers, or my kittens. Ou, we! Oh, me!” She sobbed & little, then sheok off her pretty April tears and then fell to thinking in earnest. If they only had some money., What 1f she eould get some! She puckered her brows into a frown. Just then some market carts rolled by, laden with produce on of | their way to the neighboring little town. On the front seat of one sat an old woman with a basket of flowers on her knee. A sudden thought flashed on Dossy and the puckered little brow cleared up. Why couldn’t she sell flowers! Her garden was full of them, especially of pansies, such pansies as were not often scen. She jumped from the swing so quickly that she landed in the grasses below. But nothing daunted she re- gained her feet and began picking off the golden-hearted pansies and Eng- lish daisics by handfuls. She would do it; yes, indeed she would, and male ever 50 much money; and they wouldn’t have to leave the mil, and grandpa and sissie wouldn't ery any wore. She fell to work arranging her bouquets for the morrow, her eyes fairly dancing with delight. She put ifications will be for- | morning as By order of the Board of County Commis- | ceed, and she slept but them together quite tastefully, and by the time the summer moon stood over the pines she had a loug row set up d give s amid the evergreens, that the dew might keep them fresh. soon as over, she would set off. In the breakfast was of her young heart had continued |} stole on tip-toe to the window to look down on her treasures. The morrow dawned ecloudlessly. | Breakfast over, Dossy ran down to the garden, crammed her posies into Lizzio's market-basket, and taking it on her chubby arm, trudged away, | fortunately unnoticed. On she sped, past the long, long lines of fences, and down into the very heart of the town Her cheeks were crimson, her breath came in gasps, she almost stumble from fatigne; but at last she reached the market-place, and stopped in a little corner, where the shadows fell, | cool, and where an old_blind woman was selling laces. Here, feeling a sense of safety and companonship, from the presence of the blind old | creature, shesat down and began with deft hands to arrange her posies i front of her. What a picture she made in her white frock, with its short puffed sleeves; her cyes ablaze, ler amber ringlets, blown about by the morning breeze, framed, as it were, by # border of yellow dasies and golden- hoarted pansfes. At the sllvery call of hersweet bird-voice piping‘‘Who'll buy my pansies?” one and another pe- destrian looked back, a fow smiled, and some stopped and purchased. Presently a farmer who had just such a little one at home, boughtone of her nosegays, and paid_for it with half a dollar.” Dossy was in raptures. Then another gentleman ocamo along, this time a comparatively young one, but tall and dark, and with a bronzed face. ““Won't you buy a bunch of pansics sir, please!” said little Dossy. The stranger had not noticed her before, stopped and looked for the lit- tle piping voico. “Please sir,” said Dossy, holding up a posy, “Only 25 cents.” The young man flashed a keon glance at Dossy, and drew near, smil- ing. *To be sure T will,” said he, pleas- antly, ‘if only for the sake of your bright eyes; 25 cents, you said, I think,” and he drew out his purse. ““Yes,"” said Dossy, apologetically, imagining he thought the price too high. “*You see I have to ask a good deal,” and she shook her curly head with a grave, important air, ‘‘for Liz- zie must have the money by Saturday, or we shall be turned out of our pretty home.” As she finished she tendered to her auditor the prettiest of her sies, which she had just selected for him out of her store. The stranger, all this time, had been looking curiously at her. The color went and came on his face, his lips trembled, and he showed other signs of emotion *‘Tell me,” he cried, earnestly, ‘“‘my dear, what is your name?” He drew close to Dossy as ho spoke, and seemed to be looking in her face as if for some half-remembered or haif- fancied likeness. “‘Dossy,” she answered, ‘‘Dossy Du- pont.” His answer was to catch her in his arms, and kiss her again and again, his voice trembling with excitement, as he cried, “Dossy! my little pet Dossy, don’t you know who I am?” But Dossy struggled from his em- brace, smoothed her curls, and an- swered haughtily: “I asked you to buy my pansies, sir, and not to kiss me,” The stranger broke intoa joyous laugh. ““And I will buy them, ‘‘he replied, “‘every ene of them. But don’t you reni?y know me, Dossy? I am Ross Devereaux. Why, you have sat on my knee many and many a time."” Dossy, at this, stared at him curi- ously, = Then she uttered a gleeful little shout and sprang 1into his arms. “Oh! T know,” she cried. *‘I re- member you, Won't Lizzic be glad. Won't she stop crying now{” Ross Devereaux's swarthy cheek crimsoned. ‘‘Take me to your home,” he said, ‘“‘to your sister. Is she here?” “No,” answered Dossy, ‘‘we live at grandpap's, at the old mill, out of towa, you know.” “Let us go at once, then. No need to sell pansies any longer,” cried Ross Devereaux, eagerly, setting the child on her feet. Lizzy Dupont steod, as we have said, gazing across the meadows, hesrt-broken about Dossy's prolonged absence, Suddenly two figures ap- peared, emerging from the woods be- yend, in the direction of the town. She gave a_great cry of joy, for one was certainly Dossy. But who was the other! Who was the tall hand- some man, who held Dossy by the hand? Could it be -no, it was im- possible—and yet- At this moment, while she was still uncertain; while her heart leaped into her throat, and then stopped beating; while she felt dizzy, and abeut to fall, and had to clutok at the railing, Dossy's companien had drepped the child’s hand, darted forward, for he had recognized Lizzie, and cane hurry- ing over the meadow, waving his hat. He veached the stile, was over it in bound, and the next instant was at Lizzie's side. “Thank God T have found you at last™ he cried, clasping her sinkin: form. ‘‘Poor, tiwid, dnr]ing! Did you think T had deserted you!' What Lizzie would have replied, of anything, we do not know; but he gave ker no chance; hurriedly, as if life and death depended on yit, he went on to tell his story | ‘“Notone of your letters ever came to hand,” he said. *'They were in- tercepted, as 1 discovered at last, I wouldn’t mention how, under other circumstances; but you, at least,ought to know thewhole truth. The fact is, darling, that while my parents were cager to welcome you us a daughter, 1 had a cousin, an ambitious girl, who had always lived with us, unfl who, it seems, wished to marry me; not, of course,” he said quickly, *‘that she loved me, but merely to secure the title and position. Well, to make a long story short, she bribed the post- istress at the villageto give her your letters, so that I never heard a word from you or about you, till at last, in despair, I cawme over, before I intend- ed, to solve the mystery — *Come over?” said Lizzie faintly and guiltily, conscious how she had il i A ““T's be sure,” repeated Ross Dever- caux, frankly. “Ah! little skeptic, you doubted e, did you?” She had not that she woyld puc- little that night in lLer excitpment. O and | over she rose from her little bod. and Dear, innocent Dossy! the least doubt I did not know your relations in New York, but T found out their names, but it was some timo, and one was at Newport and another at Saratoga, and a third at Virginia Springs, Before 1 could do anything came the nows of my father's sudden death and a summons home, for 1 am, you know, his heir as to both the titles and estates. When 1 had been at Devereaux Hall for a week lor s or 80, the postmistress came up, trem- bling and panitent, for 1 was now Sir timo that Lady Devereaux, Thon the vile plot was revealed. Darling, ever since 1 havo been wild to discover you. But for a long time 1 was foiled. Yot city cousins, on whom I had rolie could not tell me where you had gone All they knew—and they told it with ovident confusion—was that your mother’s father had sent for you, and that he lived in this state, and they thought, in this part of it. So I have vieited every square mile iy this and four other counties, and only lighted on Dossy by accident to-day. I didn't even know your grandfather's name. There was much more to tell, de- tails with which we will not tire the reader, eager questions and as eager replies. Lizzie could hardly credit her happiness. Dossy danced around, shouting in glee. If you ever visit England, and should ever go to the neighborhood of Devereaux Hall, you will hear every body talking of the beautiful Lady Devereaux, whom Sir Ross brought home from America. Should you see her, you will recognize, as we did, in the gracious matron the Miller's Granddaughter, A Well Always Full of Ice. Brownville (Minn.) Correspondence La Crosse Chronidle. About half a mile from this place 18 the natural ice well. On ting it we found a shaft about twenty feet deep, and we could plainly seo 100 it. We then \'iuilm{ a shaft a few feet distant, and immediately upon entering it.a cloud of steam, caused by the cold air coming in contact with our heated bodies, rushed forth. This shaft was excavated for the purpose of ascertaining, if possible, the cause of the ice forming in the well, some of the inhabitants believing in the theory of a large cave being connected with it. After reaching the depth of 100 feet without result, drifting was abandonéd. Before the shatt was made it is claimed that the - ell filled with ice to within six feet of the top. A thermometer marked 30 degrees Fahrenheit. About six feet back from the mouth of the tunnel the tloor and sides are in many places covered with ice.

From Popular Scienco Monthly for August. Mossrs. David S. Jordan and Charles H. Gilbert, who have been engaged in the study of tho fishes of the Pacitic coast, state in the abstract of their report, which 18 published in the ‘‘American Naturalist,” that they have obseryed five species of salmon (Oncorhymens) in the waters of the North Pacific. These species may be called the quinnat or king-salmon, the blue-black salmon or red-fish, the slver salmon, the dog salmon, and the hump-back salmon; and they are known by many other and vernacular names. The quinnat and blue-black salmon habitually run in the spring, the others in the fall, the two former species having the greater economic value. The spring running salmon ascend only Jnmu rivers which are fed by the melting snows from the mountains and which have suflicient volume to send their waters well out to sea, as the Sacramento, Rogue, Klamath, Columbia, and Frazer Rivers. They are chiefly adults, but their milt and spawn are no more doveloped in them when they go up the rivers than they are at the same ne in others of the same species which will not enter the streams until fall. High water in any of these rivers in the spring is always followed by an increased run of fish, and it is believed that the disposition to run is excited by contact with cold water. The average weight of the quinnat in the spring is twenty-two pounds in the Columbia River, and about six- teen pounds in the Bacramento River. Individuals weighing from forty to sixty pounds are frequently found in both rivers, and some as heavy us eighty pounds, Fish that enter the rivers in the spring continue to ascond antil death or spawning overtakes them. Probably none of themn return to the ocean, and a large proportion fail to spawn. Thoy are Lnnwn to ascend the Bacramento to its extremo head waters, about tour hundred miles, and the Columbia as far as the Spokan Falls, a distance of between six and eight hundred miles.
