George, with one searching look into her face, took the glass, and put his lipa to the wine.

Then he put the glass, with a firm hand, down on the table. "You must excuse roe," said he, ihortly. "This wine is drugged," She was very near to him as he spoko. The next moment she had snatched the bag from his hand and sprung to the door. In the second whicB followed tbe.seizure she had got such a good start that she was able to slam the door in his face as he Dursncd, ner.

"I am deeply obliged to yon for your George, who wasuttcrly bewildered by the situation in ivlnch ho found himself, so that his words came haltingly from his tongue. Seen in the bright light of tho lamp which hung from tho hall ceiling, his unconventional hostess wns even more beautiful than she had looked outside in tho dark- I ness. She was tall and fair, with a figure more suggestive of strength than is usual in young women, almost masculine, indeed, in its unpinehcd, natural waist and rather square shoulders. A massive young woman, with long white hands and quick, lithe 'movements, and with a certain frank simplicity of manner which suggested that she did not live the cribbed and narrow life usual with the women ol the middle classes, Thu very straight- forward her welcome to 'this stranger was what one would have expected of a man, rather than of a woman.

But the freshness, the unexpectedness of this was only another charm in the dazzled cj'cs of George Llewellyn. Ho found his heart beating faster, hia revulsion of feeling entirely in her favor in the young man. And even he paxed at hcr, bending a little forward to get a better view of her face i JCxtrnorinriary 1'ovrors or a No by looking under the hanging oil lamp that her ex- ave place to threshold of the I Passion uf modest one of doubt, of fear. She looked up quickly, and their eyes met. In a moment ho felt as an older mnn would not have been, that the suspicions her strange conduct had aroused were unfounded.

IJe heaved a sigh of relief. He felt so much, however, that he had to put a constraint upon himself which made his manner abrupt, and his voiifc harsh as he spoke. "I must go now," he said, turning "Upon the door, please." Uc had turned his back to her, to bio Aiiiiunl Tuujjht to Uuu l.rnmds.

For as soon as ho men- thu securities" he saw a flash jlig-ht on his hostess' face.

As he paused, took up his speech for him. "If you have anything of much value you, that is all tho more reason why yjjfl? should not sttunblo about iblinclJJ-'m the snow, as you were doing when I first met you." And she stepped out quickly from tho dining-room into the hall, drew him in- had upon him. In the silence which followed his words, he heard her rapid and labored breathing. His doubts awoke again, He even glanced sharply round, as if in doubt whether she was not approaching him with some sinister purpose. And he saw that she had indeed come a little nearer, atid, I that her large gray oj'cs were wide with doubt and fear.

"Why do you wish to detain me?" ho iskcd, so sharply that she was taken aback, and gave a little forced laugh while she.prepared an answer. "Surely that is a singular way of acknowledging hospitality," said she, without look-ing nt him, "to question the motives of it. Out here in the country we arc not like the people in towns, "who look shyly and coldly upon strangers. On the contrary, we offer them five when they are cold, and light when they have lost their If you're so suspicious, why did you accept tny direction as to the road you were to take?" He paused before answering. It was not easy to hcr the reasons for the change in his attitude, although he could not but suppose that she knew them already.

lie had seen something. of the world, and was not particularly diffident with any class of women. But there was something about this g-irl, an air of innate refinement, the ncccut of a gentlewoman, a suggestion in hcr look and mnmicr that she was playing a part for which she not suited, which prevented his putting upon hcr outrageous conduct tho construction he unhesitatingly would have done in the case of another woraa.n. lie was hopelessly noted that the room, comfortable as it was, was shabby and worn as to furniture; that the girl's dress was severe in ity inexpensive simplicity; that the glass and silver which had looked so imposing from the outside were exceedingly old fashioned. He noted also that the table was In id for two persons.

And. finally, he remarked to himself upon the fact that since he entered ho had heard no sound indicating the presence in the house of nny person besides himself aud his mysterious hostess. Just as he came to this point in his reflections, however, ho saw in the lady's eyes a look which showed him that she was listening for some sound outside, rather than waiting for the answer to hcr question. So he made up his mind rapidly and walked quickly to the window, which about three feet from the ground. "You can sec nothing from there but the snow falling," said the girl, in 'side the hou.se by an unexpected move- a voice which was- not without a tremor mcntof a-strong arm, and closed tho frontdoor behind him before he had 'recovered from the amazement iuto which the rapidity and decisiveness ol tho movements had thrown htm, "Ideally, I must beg you to let meg-o on now," said he, in a low voice, as he made a strong- effort to pull himself and to resist the pressure he knew she was.

But she, laughing- rather nervously, turned the big key in the lock, and pulling it out in quite a leisurely maa- ncr, thrust it into hcr pocket, and sprang 1 almost at one bound, back to the dining-room door. "If you say no to a woman, you Unow," she said as -she once moro in. yitcd him.

Ue followed the girl into the dining-room, holding- his bag with a firm; band, and looked at her with an expression caused the blood to "rash to, her and her eyes to droop of anxiety. "Wo arc shut in here by a wall, as you may have seen, as a protection from the gales we feel here so terribly." "IF YOU FOLLOW VE I'LL FIRE. Without answering George put, up his hand to throw back the catch of the "window.

"Ohl" cried she, in a higher key; you arc not obliged to go out- that way. If you will take a glass of wiac to make amends for your doubts of ray hospitality. I will open the door for you immediately." Without waiting for an answer she left the room, and returned in a very- few moments with a decanter of wine, which she placed upon thc.table. Without heeding- the fact that he had opened his keeper. John has brought him up has taught him to perform tricks, but he has specially trained him to do his errands.

The village from which tho supplies am obtained is nearly two miles distant from the homestead, and when John has not time to go ho writes an crdcr of what he needs on a piece of paper, puts the paper in a basket, and the handle of the basket in tho dog's mouth, then pointing- in the direction the village, he says to him: "Run quick to Coulomier's." Cou- Joniier is tho grocer who has John's patronage, Mouton trots off, and along without stopping, even though he meet well-beloved femftle friend. Arriving at the village he deposits his basket in Coulomier's store. If by there is no one in the store he barks owo or three times to call attention. When he sees the paper in the grocer's hands he goes out to rcconnolter; he drills at the fountain, holding a smelling conversation with the dogs stretched out in the sun, like lizards, but, he calculates his time so well that his loafing never exceeds a quarter of an hour, when he returns to the grocer. Coulo- mier has what is ordered in the basket, gives it to Mouton, who seizes it with his strong jaws and runs oft with it homeward bound.

liutone day the basket contained live eels, wrapped in a napkin. The route was along near a canal, and follows it for a long- distance. Mouton, with the basket in mouth, was trotting along, when suO-ieuly the child of the lockkeeper, baby two years old, fell into the The dog hears the cries of the infant and the sound of splashing in the water; he sots clown his basket, leaps into the canal, seizes the baby by its clothing and brings it to terra firma. The child docs not move, and Moutoc, who had hud it on the ground, takes it npagain by its garments, and bears it to the lock-keeper's house. The mother was seated in the kitchen paving potatoes.

Jlonton enters at one bound and places the child upon hcr lap, and then hurries off to get his basket. TJru he finds that those rascally eels, perceiving that they were near the water, have wriggled and struggled iu such a way that they have- succeeded in escaping from t.heir.cloth prison. They were squirming in the dust, and aiming for the canal. Mouton, instead of seizing them by the tail or the middle of the body, grasped them by their heads and wrung their necks. After having thus laid them all out he placed their bodies in the basket again and took them to his master.

To go and carry that basket to the place where he had been taught to put tnight. if necessary, be attributed to Instinct merely, but nobody had taught him to save a child from drowning, and then, seeing the child inanimate, to take it up agaiu and carry it to its mother, shows not only intelligence but goodness of heart. Many man. less intelligent than Mouton, would not have reasoned so well as this: "In order to take to ray master what lias been intrusted to ray care I must kill these eels, for living I cannot get them back into the napkin, iis while I am picking up one the others will get away," And notice that the seven eels were killed in the same wav. This brave dog-is, according to my idea, more intelligent and has more mind than a good number of f-ecb young men of my acquaintance, who little suspect that they are far from being of as much value as the good ilouton.

The scene of saving the child and that of recapturing the eels was witnessed by two peasants who were on the other side of the canal. story, one year old, is absolutely Revue Spirite. An Annual Inundation Cored by a Some time ago the farmers in little valley, not far from the west coast ol Norway- and south of the city of Bergen, appealed to the government to save them from the ruin that overwhelms them every few years tliro'ug-h the abnormal rise of their river. About one hundred people live in this fertile vale, and above their small farms, skirting the river edge, tower some of the wildest and grandest of Norway's mountains. The people are dependent upon the produce of their farms, and they would be prosperous and content if it were not for one danger that threatens them every year, and that twice within, six years has completely swept away their crops, roads and bridges.

Tho cause of their misfortune is worth describing, for the phenomenon that suddenly swells their little- river to a raging torrent, fifty feet above its normal height, is seldom seen iu any part oi the world. One of the largest inlets in this deeply iudenled coast is the Its narrow valley pushes far inland among tho mountains, and out of one of the brunches at its head opens tho picturesque and well-lilled Simodal valley, ihe scene of these catastrophes. Tho head of this narrow valley consists of a precipitous elii" over whose edges tumbles one of the finest of Norway's waterfalls, the great Rembesdalfos which, is worth going far to sec. After making this plunge the water speeds, awn j', a swift-flowing river, spanned by two bridges and bordered by patches of cultivation. This is a glacial river, for high above the waterfall is a glacier descending from a vast snow field on the upper mountain slopes, and tho torrents that pour from under the melting ice stream become the waterfall nnd river.

This glacier is the cause of the mischief in the valley below. The glacier is one of the most conspicuous illustrations of a great ico stream in a main valley descending across the mouth of a side valley and damming up tho drainage collected there so that it forms a lake. In ordinary years the snow whoso melted waters form this lake melt slowly and the laivc, aua gradually until it is on a level with the surface the glacier, when the water begins to cut a channel between the ice and the lofty hill at its side. As the channel deepens the lake is gradually drained and no damage is done iu the valley below. When, however, the summer thaw is unusually rapid the lake fills in a remarkably short time and the weight of the.

pent-up waters forces a channel under the glacier. It digs a large tunnc'. in the ice, through which the great volume of water is precipitated in a few hours upon the farm lands of tho valley, destroying all the; property within roach, and blasting every hope of the season's harvest. The government has come to the rescue and the poor farmers arc not to bo driven from their homes by forces of nature which, unaided, they cannot control. A canal is to be blasted through the solid rock alongside the glacier, which will carry oil the waters of the lake before they have risen to any great height.

This is one of the few instances in which it has bee; found necessary to circumvent a glaciei in order to render it powerless to do mischief.
