The terrifying noise was at its height when suddenly another squaw walked forward to the centre of the lodge until she stood 'directly beneath the opening. Ile- hind her came four medicine-men bear- ing upon a buffalo robe an Indian who seemed to be dying. His pallid face as they laid him in the sunshine, took on a more gastly hue.

Yellow Wolf crawled over to her and whispered fiercely in her ear for an Instant. A look of terror and despair settled on her face. and she turned her an instance on the white women, who. with pale and drawn faces, were watching her. Yellow Wolf sprang up with all the strength that was left in him. and facing the Indians, cried: "Do you think the Great Father will hear her or you while these evil spirits are with us? I tell you. Great Hawk will die. Do you hear?" he screamed. "Great Hawk WM] die. and if he does, it is the whites who killed him." The Indian Black Tongue edged his way through the crowd to Yellow Wolf’s side. "It is true what Yellow Wolf says.” he. yelled. "Have they not given bad medicine to the Beaver and Yellow Wolf! And did they not try to give bud medicine to \Vhite Eagle? Only because he is allâ€"powerful did he pre- vail. Can Great Hawk. who is ill and helpless, overcome these evil spirits?" There was a fierce howl from the now half-crazy Indians. Some of them broke. through. and would have leaped into the open space had they not been restrained by the older chiefs and the medicine-men. Pretty Feathers stood up and waved his hand for quiet, but only a ‘ few of the howdng, maddench Indians would listen to him. “What are you doing?” he shouted.

They toaked irresoldiely at their chiefs and the. medicine-men. unâ€" certain what was expected of them or, how or why they were to act. They were in a state of supreme agitation and irresponsibility, when anything was possible to them. A silence, like the silence that falls on a mob just before the first stones are hurled, settled on the throng of maddened Inâ€" dians. The little party from the detachment .waited breathlessly. the women trembling and leF-j rifled, and even the men while under their tan. They fullyl realized how impossible it was to make, any attempt at resistance, heinmedin, surrounded by five hundred half-crab, ed Indians. Five unarmed men with seven women to protect were helpless. Evetn htld the men been armed it; would have been madness to fire. Captain Eviston told himself that there was not a single ray of hope, that nothing short of a miracle could save them. He, had kept the expedition so quiet that, his soldiers, who alone could have aid-g ed him, did not even know where he, was. And although he had spoken ofl possible trouble, in his heart he hadl no fear of it, and this uprising of thet usually peaceful Indians came to him, as an almost unrealizable shock. A lifetime of suspense was contained in that instant of silence. Captain Evis- ton turned to the orderly: “For God’s sake, Doyle, talk to them. Say something to quiet these fiends.” Doyle shook his head hoptflessly. "They wouldn't listen to me, sir," he said, "and, besidesâ€"" His words were drowned in a halfâ€" smothered shriek of terror from Mrs. Eviston.’ Raising his head, he heard the quick rush of a pony’s hoofs, and saw a narrow lane opening up through ,the dense mass of Indians, and far down it, uncertainly, miles off seem- ingly to his bewildered eyes, he saw a little bronco bedecked with painted feathers and scarlet ribbons, whom he had once, ages before, known as Nellie, making her way into the lodge, and on her back Jack, in all the glory of her Indian paraphernalia, casting cordial iglances and nods to the Indians, first on one side and then on the other, ‘flecking some particular friend lightly with her little whip, or calling to anâ€" 'lhn evil his people would have done, I to her. ‘ displeased her mother by coming with-v tstood beside her pony waving aside the familiarly and condescendineg as she rode through in triumph. Mrs. Eviston laid her hand on her arm. "Arthur," she said faintly, "Arthurâ€"" she pointed to Jack, and her lips moved unintelligi- bly. Doyle leaned down eagerly. ' "For the love of 'Ettven, Mrs. Evis- too," he gasped softly, "leave ‘er alone. They won‘t touch ‘er, an’ she‘ll fix ‘emâ€"â€"shc knows ’em.“ When Jack reached the center of the lodge, she reined Nellie in, aware all at once that she might be inter- rupting the proceedings, and a little puzzled at the strange and sudden silence. She looked about her, smiling brightly and fearlessly. though she was a trifle bt:wildcrcd, and then down at the irresolute faces turned up to her. "Saisit, nitsituffiake!” “Behwld, I am an Indian alstil" the said gaily, pointing to her fantastic dress and fea- theis, Suddenly something seemed to give way in the crowd. \Vitli a rour of delight and cliiltlisl. amusement the mercurial Indians rushed forward to Jack, pouring into the. dancing-Circle and surging ahuit her, laughing and clapping their h-tnds. . ” Ninspaupitl" she said magnificent- ly from h‘t‘l‘ lofty position on Nellie. and cracking her quirt to keep them at a proper distance. Pretty Feathers came tannins: and pushing his way to her through the crowd. _ "Puksiputl" she called out delight- edly to him. He was llt‘I‘ special friend among the chiefs. ” Kitaipuksup'to.“ he answered, hoarsely; and reaching her side he Sprung up behind her on Nellie. Stand- ing upright on the astonished little puny. he called to the laughing, ges- ticulating. excited Indians.

Recently, having had occasion to go to England, a party of three left by the Allen line, from Montreal. We decided upon the Allen line because it has some of the best ships that sail from Canadian ports, and everything possible is done for the convenience of the passengers of this line. \Ve went on board the Californian, at about half past eight on a Thursday mornâ€" ing, (is it sailed pioniptly at nine. Af- ter having embarked, we went up on the promenade deck so as to watch the. crowds of people on the wharf. a large crowd had collected to see the departure of the vessel, most of them having friends who are leaving, and they are saying their last good-byes, while some are only looking on with the general interest of seeing a large oce-un steamship start; on its voyage. Porters laden with hand baggage of every description are running tip the gang-ways, officers are SHOUTING OUT COMMANDS, and sailors are running about in every direction. At last the bell, warning friends that they must go ashore, is rung, and the then the. Californian slowly swings out inâ€" to the stream and proceeds down the St. Lawrence towards Quebec, which is the first stopping place. After the ship is well under way breakfast is announced and every one goes to partake of their first ocean meal. The dining room, or saloon, is situated exactly amidships, and occu- pies lllt‘ entire width of where there is the least possible nio- Lion. It has a seating capacity which will comfortably accommodate all the first-class passengers tit one time, thus doing away with the necessity of a double service, which is so annoying on so many ships. The dining saloon is lighted from above by a magnifi- cent colored glass dome and from the sides by large port-holes, extending along the entire length of the room. The meals are ordered from a lengthy and choice mciiu, which includes ev- erything that one could possibly deâ€" Sll'e. “hisilc blown, The service is also most excellâ€" ent; there being plenty of stewards in every department of the ship to atâ€" tend to the wants of the passengers. If one feels hungry on waking in the morning, it is only necessary to TOUCH THE ELECTRIC llh‘LL at the head of his berth, and any reâ€" freshment desired will be served beâ€" fore, rising. Then, further on in the morning, at about eleven o’clock, hot beef tea and biscuits are served on deck; then at o'clock the grand luncheon is scivcd in the saloon; and at four refreshments are again served on deck, and then at seven o'clock din- nctr is served in the siloon, which is the great social event oi the day. so we see that although the ocean does create an almost uncontrollable appe- tite, it, is Well catered for, both in quantity and quality. After every one has done full justice to the first dinner on board, we ex- plore our stateâ€"room and its immedi- Ull" ate surroundings. Then we call the bath-room steward to find out if we are not yet too latte to secure the fav- oirite hour for our saltâ€"water bath in the morning; then we discover which is to be our cabin steward, and in- struct him in regard to our peculiarities in his line. After all such small but. important matters have been arrang- ed below, we go up on deck, and then f0i the first time we are aware of the immense size and conveniences of the boot. The main promenade deck runs completely around the outer side of the ship and has it long row of com- fortable strum -r-ch tirs placed aiong the lee. side. Illv' central portion of the ship is occupied by the numerous sa- loons, and also a few of the most LL'X URIO US STATE-ROOMS titre situated here. Some of the more important saloons are: ‘i‘he. ladies“ sa- loon, which surrounds the dining room skyliglit,the library, andthe smoking room, each luxurioust and tastefully furni; hud. After we have thoroughly oxâ€" plored the steamship we. find our dcck Ch‘llI‘S, which have been located in a pleasant spot, and enjoy the river scenery. The. ever changing variety and beauty of this scenery is nowhere sur- passad, This river trip, combined with the ocean voyage, is one of the features which combine to make the crossing by the Allen line fromt Mont- real so much superior to all others. At first the surrounding country is flat and low, with beautiful different colored flowers, and farther back the ground gradually rises, and here and there, almost hidden by the trees, a quaint oll French village may be seen. Then, as we goon farthen towards Quebec, th: land rises rather abruptly from the river and we notice larger towns and cities situated directly on thahanks. We pass three rivers about noon, and at list arrive at. Quebec about six o‘clock in the evening. The “Californian” does not go into the dock, but merely slows down in the middle of the river and waits for the tender which brings out the passenâ€" He re ‘ the ship,.

I‘hen, after dinner is over, we again go on dch to lounge in our steam-r chairs, so as to fully enjoy the beautiful moonlight.

After this the river becomes l.irger and larger, until at last we can only occasionally see land on the southern side: and at List on Monday incining we pass through the Straits of Belle Isle. and are. out upon the open sea, after being almost five. days on this mighty and beautiful river.

Early on Satur- day morning the "Californian" enters lll‘ large and beautiful bay of Moville. We do not remain here long, but after some of the passengers hue been landed, and the pipers and mail hive been taken on board we proceed through the north channel along the north coast of Ireland. Everyone rises early to enjoy the beauties of the Irish scenery, and really the different formation of the rock on the coast and farihv-r inland, the beautiful farms with their strange houses are well Worthy of the small inCtinvenience caused by rising so early, I hen we pass, llll‘t'llgll the Irish sea, pissing so close to the Isle of Man that we are able to see quite plainly some of th- towns, which are situated on ih'tl side of Lll‘ Island. \Ve now pass into the great htrbor of Liverpool, which has the largest shipping trade in the world.

There will be fine opportunities durâ€" ing the coming summer for amateurs in astronomy to View the planet Jupi- ter. In Julie, Jupiter will be near the meridian, or noonâ€"line, about nine o‘clock in the evening, and no star will eqqu him in brrilliancy. lven an operaâ€"glass will suffice to show one or more of his moons, when they are favâ€" orably situated, and a pocket telescope will occasionally show all four. An excellent opportunity of this kind will oceur on the night of June 1st, about 10.30 o‘clock, when two of the moons will be seen, one above the other, west of the planet, while the other two are strung out, at a greater distance, on the. east side. The very next night, at the same hour. a most interesting arrangement of the moons will be. vis- ible, for then all four will appear in a row east of the planet, standing in the order of their true distances from Jupiter, beginning with number one at the inner end of the row, and finishing with number four at the outer end.

THE GERMAN EMPEROR. ;a‘!c Is Not linger for War. But Is Planting “(‘I'HHIYI d'olonlcs. ' The German Emperor, unless all ,signs fail, will not be a disturber of 5European peace. He. is his own mas- ter and is not under the influence of ambitious soldiers, many of whom would gladly accept even a slight pro- vocation as a reason for a war with RUSSL'I, France or England. His self- restraint is remarkable, armed as he is with tremendous resources of pow- er. He is intent upon maintaining German military prestige without qurirrelling with any foreign power or striking a blow. The empire was never so well pre- Busy pared for war as it is now. Both the 'cavalry and the artillery have been greatly strengthened since the cam- lpaign with France. Thoroughncss is the chief German virtue. Every prac- tical detail has been mastered by the general staff in its preparations for scientific warfare. These military measures are defen- sive, for Germany has nothing to gain from any great campaign on the con- tinent. The emperor has aimed to en- large his colonial possessions. to strengthen the German navy and to open new markets for the merchants of Himburg and Brenisn. His methods have sometimes seemed meddlcsome, but his motive has been clear and reasonaoie. The Germans have shown themselves to be thrifty and successful settlers in other forâ€" eign lands. The emperor has wished them to do under their own flag what they have done under foreign flags. He dreams of a Gerinaniized Asia Minor and a circle of prosperous colonies around the world. In carrying out this general policy he has acted like an energetic trader, whose eyes were open to the main chance. In Africa, China, Asia Minor and the South Seas he has either been obtaining concessions, or planting col- onies, or watching for opportunities. He has been ready to pick up anything in the form of territory or of commer- cial advantage which has come in his way. , Neither Americans nor Englishmen are justified in complaining of the emâ€" peror's colonial policy. Germany fills the same right to a share in the world's trade which they claim for themsz-lves. The emperor's methods ’ll't’ sometimes aggressive, bu“ the gen- ci‘al trend of his policy is pacific. / :2 l l I / l t. ,l -¢-â€"â€"â€".-._.â€"A
