AFTERGLOW.
After th snot1 last ray
Has left Un mountain's
Taking the golden day
To lands of the w aiting
After the darkness (alls
Bwift on the parunK hour.
After the night Intbralls
Vine laced lane and tnweri
Uae fluHtiM of early dawn
With cum tints permeate.
Dp from the glory gone.
Springs glory re-ereate.
Over the realms of cloud.
Over the earth below.
And night holds back her abroad
In the splendor of afterglow
After the light of lore
lades in hopeless night.
A glory from above
Fills the heart with after-right.
And when a life's bright ray
Laeaveth its loved in woe.
The hearts it loved find day
In its beaatifnl afterglow.

SOMETHING OF A NIGHT,
AX its best banting in a savage eonn

anan quarry is sought one's nerves are not
-likely to know much repose, and moat
'specially is this true when the object of

banter's dear ones that vengeance seems
-the sole thing left worth living for

1 had ridden my horse since daybreak,
4etermined to overtake the man I was
ranting down before another nightfall.
For three years 1 had been pursuing

stistance. Now he was leas than four
Hoars ahead of me. and we were in a

to neither of these considerations then.

Thokan, where the Tarim ran through
och dreary, deserted wastes that human
'Aoonds seldom competed with it in the
sMudness of awakening the echoes. .
On and on 1 sped, urging my jaded
hoarse far beyond its utmost powers of
adurance. for vengeance, like all other

Worse yet. 1 found myself compelled to
-spend the night there, as it was now
asfly sunset, and Otch. the next town
before me. was still more than twenty
five miles away
' Far off in the west, a black and jagged

tan.
Wretched and desperate, unable to en
dure a thought of food, 1 stretched my
self out upon a shelf against the side of
a mean little loft, which was to serve as
may quarters for the night.
Through an open window, straight be-
ore me, I could look out at the sky
above the western mountains.
Shade by shade 1 witnessed the fading
f the sunset colors and the end of the
After glow, until all was as dismally
Mack as the sensations of baffled wretch
edness which so nearly stifled me.
Then the moon rose full and splendid.
. -ana ring night more like day than it
' anywhere out of the east.
Instead of cheering me, these mocking
floods of night light angered me. .
What right had sun or moon to shine
an warmly on a land which has robbed
.jne of vengeance so long delayed, just as
T was in my grasp?
1 clinched my bands in silent rage
Stands which would have been red with
human blood if my horse had not failed

With snaillike pace the seconds crept

At first these dia not attract my atten

'began gazing about

Why. what was that? Something ob
scured the window, shutting out the
moonlight. .
When my eyes were accustomed to the
' lessened light i made the obstruction
ft was a human figure a man.
HeJiad clambered up there from the
around to rob me at any hazard, to
' vnurder me if need be; for in his mouth
, was a knife whose shining blade glistened
so. the moonlight. -
.Perhaps it was only a minute, but it
seemed an age befor?"the sound . of my
mil disturbed breathing satisfied him that
.1 was asleep, enabling him to enter the
room nn perceived.
Presently be swung his feet over the
window bench and dropped upon the
Coor without. sound.
Slowly be advanced until he stood be-
side me
My eyea were closed, but for all that I
could unmistakably feel his sharp eyes
peering down at me.
Slight sound as it made, 1 heard him
take the knife from his teeth and run his
fingers along its edge.
Then all was silence again: 1 could not
even hear him breathe -
Probably he . was wondering whether
he had best kill me before robbing me.
Whatever - the cause of his deliberation
it was maddening, unendurable.
Finally 1 tore open the garment over
my heart and said:
"Why don t you loll me. if you wish
to, and have done with vr
With a half suppressed yell of amaze
ment the man dropped his knife and
sprang from my Dedside straigni out
through the window.
My desperation had terrified my Tar
tar friend into the belief that he had at
tempted the life of some demon. '
1 had hailed the first sight of the
weapon with a sort of fierce joy; it was
probable avenue of escape from the
miseries of unrequited vengearjcev-
But the grotesque performance which
had been the result of my impatient
words aroused my mirth.
For a long time I lay there, fairly
shaking with grim laughter.
When this mood changed I sank into
a troubled sleep.
It was full of dreamed plans of retri
bution on many persons for multitudin--
ous offenses, but they all ended like my
recent reality in the death of an over
jaded horse at the supreme moment.
At length 1 was awakened by a sound
within my room. The moon was now
so far to the westward that its Deams
fell across the open trap above the ladder
by which 1 had climed to my loft. And
coming np, and nail way through the
floor, 1 saw the body of another nocturnal
visitor.
His face was in the shadow, but his
bulky figure satisfied me that it was my
host
In another minute he had completed
the ascent and was in my room, crouch
ing on the floor, his face in my direction.
Without arising, he finally started to
ward me. creeping on all fours.
As he advanced 1 saw dangling from
his loose robes a small, short handled ax
destined no doubt to make an immedi
ate plunge into my skull.
This thought sent another fierce tide
of desperation surging through me. The
sting and chagrin of a thwarted life pur
pose was likely to end that night after
all. One resolution I made swiftly.
This man should not be interrupted by
word of mine. The silence should not
be broken by me my experience with
the other would be assassin having at
least taught me wisdom in that respect
Assassin!
The word startled me.
Would 1 not also have been an assas
sin, could my will nave prevailed?
Most assuredly, now I came to think
of it

hands with the blood of my dear ones.
and had even done them worse harm.
but who had appointed roe administrator
of vengeance, giving me power over life
and death and the right to answer crime
with crime?
With, this first true confrontal of my
real position came an entire revulsion of
feeling
I am glad now honestly, heartily glad
that my long cherished violent purpose
had ended fruitlessly. - The morrow, if
the morrow ever came, should witness
for me a return to worthier things than
man hunting, and with this feeling came

Bow to Prevent Parasites In Bird Cares.
It is not generally known that many
of the diseases of singing birds in cages
are caused by the presence of parasites
in the cage. Should your canary or other
bird have the pip'' or look sickly, re
move it at once, and make an examina
tion of the roof of the cage. In nine
cases out of every ten you will see a kind
of grayish red rust clinging to the cor
ners and roof Look closer or with a
microscope and yon will observe that
this rust is comprised of myriads of ani
malcula. They are bird parasites . Burn
them out with sulphur and wash the
cage with diluted salicylic acid and your
bird will soon be restored to health.
