CHAPTER XXXVIIL (Continued. )
This was an unlucky speech. The act, that seemed so small and natural a thing to him the woman’s heart measured more cor- rectly Something rose in her throat; she tried to laugh instead of crying, and so she did both, and went into a violent fit of hysterics that showed how thoroughiy her nature had been stirred to its depths. She quite frightened Hazel; and, indeed, the strength of an excited woman’s weakness is sometimes alarming to many natures.
He did all he could to scothe her, with- out much sticeess. As soon as she was better he set sail, thinking home was the best place for her. She leant back ex- hausted, and, after awhile, seemed to be asleep. We don’t helieve she was, but Hazei did; and sat, cold and aching in body, but warm act heart, worshipping her with all his eyes.
At last they got ashore; and he sat by her fire and told her all, while she cooked his supper and warmed clothes at the tire for him.
‘The ship,’ said he, ‘was a Datch vessel, bound from Batavia to Callao, that had probably gone on her beam-euds, for she was full of water. Her crew had aban- doned her; I think they underrated the buoyancy of the ship and cargo, They left the poor dog on board. Her helm was lashed a-weather a couple of turns, but why that was done I cannot tell for the life of me. I boarded her; unshipped my mast, and moored the boat to the ship; fed the poor dog; rnmmaged it the held, and con- trived to hoist up a small cask of salted peef, and a keg of rum, and some cases of grain and seeds. [I managed to slide these on to the reef by means of the mast and oar lashed together. But a roller ground the wreck further on to the reef,and the sudden snap broke the rope, as 1 sup- pose, and the boat went to sea. I never knew the misfortune till I saw her adrift. I could have got over that by making a raft ; but the gale from the north brought such a sea onus. IJ] saw she must break up, so I got ashore how I could. Ah, I little thought to see your face again, still less that I should owe my life to you.’
‘Spare me,’ said Helen faintly,
doen must not | thank you even for my ife?’
‘No. The account is far from even yet.’

‘You are no arithmetician to say so. / What astonishe~ me most is, that you never ence scolded tue for all the trouble and anxiety—”’
‘I am too happy to see you sitting there to scold you. But still I do ask you to leave the sea alone after this. The treach- erous monster! Oh, think what you and I have suffered on it.’
She seemed quite worn out. He saw that and retired for the night, casting one more wistful glance on her. But at that moment she was afraid to look at him. Her heart was welling over with tenderness for the dear friend whose life she had saved.
Next morning Hazel rose at daybreak as usual, but found himself stiff in the joints, and with a pain in his back. The mat that hung at the opening of delen’s cave was not removed as usual. She was on her bed with a violent headache.
Hazel fed Ponto, and corrected him. He was at present a civilized dog; so he made a weak rush at the boobies and noddies directly.
He also smelt Tommy inquisitively, to learn was he an eatable. Tommy somehow divined the end of his sinister curiosity, and showed his teeth.
Then Hezel got a rope, and tied one end around his own waist, and one around Ponto’s neck, and, at every outbreak of civilization, jerked him sharply onto his back, The effect of this discipline was rapid; Ponte soon found that he must not make war on the inhabitants of the island. He was a docile animal, and in a very short time consented to make one of ‘‘the happy family,” as Hazel called the miscellaneous crew that beset him.
Helen and Hazel did not meet till past noon; and when they did meet it was plain she had been thinking a great deal, for her greeting was.so shy and reserved as to appear cold and distant to Hazel. He thought to himself, 1 was too happy yes- terday, and she too kind. Of course it could not last.
This change in her seemed to grow, rather than diminish. She carried it so far as to go and almost hide during the working hours. She made off to the jungle, and spent an unreasonable time there, She professed to be collecting cotton, and it must be admitted she brought a good deal with her. But Hazel could not accept cotton as the only motive for this sudden separation.
He lost the light of her face till the even- ing. Then matters took anotherturn; she was too polite. Ceremony and courtesy appear- ed to be gradually encroaching upon tender friendship and familiarity; yet, now and then, her soft hazel eyes semed to turn on him in silence, and say, forgive me all this. Then, at those sweet looks, love and forgiveness poured out of bis eyes. And then hers sought the ground. And this was generally followed by a certain mixture of stiffness, timidity, and formality, too subtle to describe.
The much-enduring man began to lose patience.
‘This is caprice, said he. ‘Cruel caprice.’
Our female readers will probably take a deeper view of it than that. Whatever it was, another was at hand. Since he was so exposed to the weather on the reef, Hazel had never been free from pain; but he had done his best to work it off He had collected all the valuables from the wreck, made a new mast, set up a rude capstan to draw the boat ashore, and cut a little dock for her at low watr, and clayed it in the full heat of the sun, and, having accomplished this drudgery; he got

at last to his labor of love, he opened a quantity of pearl oysters, fed Tommy and the duck with them, and began the great work of lining the cavern with them. The said cavern was somewhat sheil-shaped, and his idea was to make it out of a glocmy cavern into a vast shell, lined entirely, roof and sides, with glorious, sweet, pris- matic mother-of-pcarl, fresh from ocean, , Well, one morning while Helen was in the jungle, he made acement of guano, sand, clay aud water, nipped some. shells to a shape with the pincers, and cemented them neatly, like mosaic almost; but in the middle of his work he was cut down by the disorder he had combated so stoutly. He fairly gave in, and sat down groaning with pain. Andin this state Helen found him.
‘Oh, what is the matter ?’ said she.
He told her the truth, and said he hed violent pains in the back and head. She did not say much, but she turned pale. She bustled and lighted a great fire, arid made him lie down by it. She propped his head up; she set water on to beil for him, and would not let him move for anything; and all the time her features were brimful of the loveliest concern, He could not help thinking how much better it was to be ill anc in pain, and have her so kind, than to be well, and see her cold and distant. To- ward evening he get better, or rather he mistook an intermiesion for enre,- and re- tired to his boat; but she made him take her mug with him; and, when he was gone, she could not sleep fur anxiety; and it cut ter to the heart te think how poorly he was lodged compared with her,

A Touching Case.
THE LIFE OF A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN SAVED.
A young and beautiful married ledy -re- siding in this.city was lying at the point of death, with diphtheria, and was not expect- ed to live but a few moments; the husband, father and mother, of the svyffering lady, were at the bedside, as was also the attend- ing physician; so certain were they of the near approach of death that certain arrange- ments had already been made to meet the sad event. The father and mother were State of Maine people, and had known from childhood of the wonderful curative power of Johnson’s Anodyne Liniment, At the suggestion of the grief-stricken mother, the father had gone to the nearest drvg store before daylight, and obtained a bottle and when the physician arrived and ‘stated that the loved one could not possibly live but a few moments, the mother timidly told the doctor that she had grcat faith in Ta son’s Anodyne Liniment, and asked if she might give her daughter some. The Doctor replied, ‘‘Certainly if you wish; it can do no harm.”
While this conversation was taking place the young wife was gasping for breath, and it was evident'that she could live but a few moments longer. But the mother quickly uneorked the bottle, and gave a teaspoonful clear to her child. The effect wes like magic. Inan instant the passage to 'the lungs was enlarged, she could breathe o little easier; the mother quickly began to bathe the throat externally, and in a short time all present saw that the crisis had passed away. In a few hours the, patient wzs considered out of dan- ger, and ina few days was well. The husband of this lady related these facts with tearful eyas, to Mr. Jennings, of the firm of I. 8. Johnson & Co., 22 Custom House Street. He said there could be no question whatever but what this Liniment had saved his wife's life. All persons who will send their address to I. 3. Johnson & Co., 22 Custom House Street, Boston, Mats., may receive free, by mail, information of great value in respect to diphtheria, and all other throat and lung troubles.—Zion’s Herald, Boston Jan. th, 1884.

Nova Scotia Coal. —_— Not only is the coal industry of Nova Scotia developing in a marked ard satisfac- tory way, but what is still better we find that the shipments to Montreal are increas- ing in like ratio. In 1882 the number of tons shipped to Montreal from Cape Breton and Pictou was 205,764, and in 1883, 268,- 412 tons were shipped to that port. This is exclusive of what is sent by the Inter- colonial to Quebee, which added to the quantity consumed by the R, R, and sold
to the steam. colliers carrying the coal, must amount to fully as, much more. amount of money thus
paid into Nova Scotia, and which finds its way partly into the Government chest in the shape of Royalties, and partly into the pockets of the laborer as wages for work performed, is by no means inconsiderable. On. the other hand the. inter-provincial trade fostered thereby, is a most valuable factor in the unification and upbuilding of our country. The N. P. has certainly proved of good service im both these par- ticulars.— St. John Sun.
Locomotive Without Smoke.
After experimenting for many years, Dr. C. Holland has produced a locomotive engine that emits no smoke. It has been ‘successfully running on the Eastern Rail- ‘road, between Boston and Portland, for three weeks. Its tender has a water-tank ‘somewhat larger than the usual size, and
within “this a tank holding nine hundred gallons of crude naphtha. This, ‘and the water from the outer tank,
are forced by a donkey pump through small yalves into four retorts under the boiler, and are there decomposed the oxygen of the steam uniting with the carbon of the oil at the great heat, and leaving the hydrogen free. The fire can attat its highest degree of heat in ten minutes from the time it is lighted. The estimated cost of running the engine is about six cents a mile—a saving of about foriy-five per cent. on the cost of coal. The oil is entirely con- sumed, and there is no escape of smoke and cinders.
