making mighty bounds up und down
and driving along at the rate of a mile
a minute. The anchor was thrown out,
but failed to hold, the only results be
ing to mrke the bounds and jerks more
fierce.
“It was totally dark, and al>uut eight
o’clock at night the car was dashed
against the ground with such force a»
to tear apart several of the ropes, throw
ing Eric Gilbert out, withall our instru
ments, the pigeon crate and ballast, in
an iustant. The loss of so much weight
caused the balloon to rise at once and
«lash away again, going higher every
moment. I was almost crazy and lost
control of myself. I looked down, and I
fancied I saw lights and dwellings
down in the canyon, people and cattle
running about when the lightning il
lumined the scene, but as I knew that it
was an uninhabitable wilderness I laid
it to excited imagination, and I knew
that poor Gilbert’» bones would be
whiteuing under the burning sun in a
few days. It was impossible to help
him. 1 could only hold on an«l let the
balhxm drive. It became frightfully
cold, and I found that I had also dislo-
cated my arm.
“After a time I became unconscious
and fell to the bottom of the car, which
was covered with ice. When I recovered
consciousness 1 found myself in the
hands of a Mexican cattleman, on whose
ranch the balloon had descended, near Al-
buquerque, New Mexico. I was with hiiu

most of the time. But 1 recovered and
returned to San Francisco, where, to my
surprise, I found that all but one of the
carrier pigeons liad returned before me.
I heard nothing of Eric au«l naturally

exist in the region three days. It is a
waterless, burning, alkali desert.
“Now for the strangest part of my
atory:
“One evening two weeks ago I ob-
•erved a carrier pigeon, evidently a
stranger, endeavoring to enter mv coop,
with a message fastened to his tail iu
the usual manner. 1 went up and let
him in and recognized him at once as
the bird that had failed to return. My
heart sprang up in my throat, and my
hands trembled so that. I could scarcely
detach the message. It was written on
some kind of a small skin and read thus,
for here it is.”
Pierce took from his pocketbook a
white parchment and unfolded it upon
the table. The others watched him with
an intense gaze. Then holding it up to
the light he read:

anxious to l>e off, while Pierce nervous
ly busied with the last arrangements.
At three o’clock he carefully »cruti-
nized the car and its contents, took a
last look aloft, sprang into the oscillat
ing basket, and in another moment the
balloon was shooting up in «sweeping
slant toward the cloud» and toward the
White mountains. The shouts grew

from Margaret Fuller. She was cheery

whether the offender is eve/ forgiven or

from the jaws of death.
But mon don’t like a fool! For a fool
is apt to tease and torment iu a thousand
forms, like a human gadfly. It requires
not a little intellect to know when and
how and what to speak, also how to sup
press one's knowledge.
To be brief, tho woman who is a mas
culine favorite is invariably cheerful in
public, keeping her woes for private con
templation; has tact enough to manage
a state; cares a great deal more for dress
than she pretends; is never monotonous
nor slow, although she scrupulously keys
her voice below sharpness or complaint;
will not for any consideration apeak ill
of a friend; asks a great many innocent
questions, and none that may be difficult
to answer; can make others do the talk
ing and exploit themselves, while she
serves only us a wliipper in, and last, but
so far from least that it is the most im
portant of all, cultivates all the senti
ment of her companion to the utmost.
Thia ideal character is not only liked
by the other sex, but, what is infinitely
more to her credit, she is loved by her
own. Infinitely more to her credit—
Mary Clemmer wrote of Alice Cary and
her strong hold upon all the lives with
which her own ever came in contact,
“For a man to love a woman is of na
ture; for a woman to love a man is of
grace.”
