“Hamph! I saved the sea-sickness and the pasmage-mouey,’’ replied Jack. ‘‘Too farfrom home, Paul. Couldn't bear the ida of mixing with a lot of colonists, incipient brigands, arrested developments andthe Lord knmews what. So here I am, gummed on the back, and war- ranted to stick.”

girl, though, and for a while pulled aleng famously; but about eighteen

months ago, same rather alarming com- plications set in, and the doctor insisted that she should go to the sea-shore, away from the everlasting tumult of fashion- able society. What she wanted, he said, was some of the ‘roll on, thou deep and dark-blue ocean’ influenes. The salt air might give her an appetite, and as one cracker served her for three square meais, with enough left ever for break- fast mext morning, this seemed rather desirable.

“Of course, the brunt of the business fell en me. I had to pack my grip-sack and start on an exploring expedition. I answered every advertisement in the pa- pers. You ought to go through that ex- perience and, my word for it, you would be sot: for the rest of your natural life. One man wrote that his place was all that a mother’s heart could wish, and that the house commanded the finest prospectiin that section of the country. When i got there, I was weleomed by a cloud of mosquitoes that darkened the sun, the honse was a rickety, tumble- down concern, its clapboards and shingles fairly yawning.

“Well, did you persevere?”’

“Yes, and at last, about fifty tmailes from here, struck just the right spot. That is where the family are now living; and she is there, too.”’

“Ivy and columbine and honeysuckie and all that sort of thing, eh?”’

‘*Well, as:I was about to say, I found the two ladies living in very straitened cir- cumstances. The old man had been a visionary sort of creature, who never un- derstood why he couldn't spend his dol- lar and keep it, too. He began life with a snug little fortune, and bought this beautiful place with the hope of living there to a ripe old age and then starting from it to Heaven. He kept spending his principal, first on the house, then on the stables, then on the windmill, then on clearing up the grounds; and when the bank cashier sent him word that his funds were gone, he took to his bed and died. A nice fix for two women to find themselves in! The property had absorbed about twenty thousand dollars, but they were willing to sell it for ten. It hada bad name, and nobody could stay there over night. The bells rang, the building shook on ite foundations, and bedlam was let loose. One man only—that is Coggs—was owilling to take it off their hands, but he offered only three thou- sand; and as‘the ghost might get it into his head to clear out at any time, they refused the offer.

‘‘My visits to the old lady were rather more frequent than was required for strictly business purposes, and I lingered in the city for nearly three months, at the end of which time—”’

CASAN, THE TARTAR DWARF.

A Fierce Little Mongolian Who Lived Centuries Ago,

In the reries of papers on ‘‘ Historic Dwarfs,’’ in St. Nicholas, Mary Shears Roberts describes the famous Casan. Mrs. Roberts says:

Casan was the name of a little Mion- gol Tartar who flourished in the early part of the thirteenth century.

He was born in the eastern part of Asia, not far from the ancient city of Karakorum. His parents belonged to one of the barbarian hordes that owed allesyriauce to Genghis Khan, and Casan became a fierce though small warrior and fought bravely under the banner of the great and mighty Mongo! conqueror.

The exact height of this little dwarf is unknown. He was certainly not over feet tall, but he was active muscular and, like all his race, conid endure hunger, thirst, fatigue and cold.

The Tartars were unexcelled in the mapugement of their beautiful horses.

he ftleetest animals were trained to stop short in full career, and to face without flinching wild beast or formi- dable foe. Casan was a born soldier, and ut an early age became expert in all the exercises that belonged to a Tartar edu-

ntion. He could manage a fiery courser with great skill and could snoot an ar- throw a lance with unerring in full career, advancing cr re-
