Why must you, Alice? It is uot cold to-day, and there is no daugor of its raining. You will not need your cloak, and you probably will not unstrap it.

From u few words that I caught of thoir conversa tion I learned that the yoangor man wno n impeutcr, mid L thought it quite probable that they both wore. Tho middle-aged man sat next tho aisle,and I uotiood thnt ho was observing the young indy quite as olosoly as I was.

Hho did not turn her heard nor show any signs ol hearing him.

The owners of the herd find it no more dif ficult to Ureed and rear thorn than would ho experienced with tho same number of pouts or donkeys. Tho ranch upon which they are kept is sandy and sterile tho extreme; yet tho animals feast and grow fat on such prickly shrubs and bitter weeds as no othor animal would touch. When left to themselves their great dolight, after filling themselves with the coarse herbage of tho desert, is to lio and roll in tlio hot sand. They aro nsed in packing salt to the mills on the river, from the marshes lying in the desert some sixty miles to tho eastward,. They have animals that easily pack eleven hundred pounds.

Your Aunt Ruth said that she bo lioved that about fill Hummervillo wert going somewhere thnt morning, tlio can rapidly filled. It is always that ho intended to givo that selfish, disobliging young huly a lesson, and 1 soon found that I was not mistaken. Ho eamo dirootly to her, and, gently touch ing her shoulder (sho was still looking out of tho window), ho said : "Shall I plnoo somo of thosobtiudlcs up in tlio rook for you, young lady ? 1 ohm find no othor sent iu this ear that is not occupied by some parson.

All of tho passengors who had obsorvod what was going on united approvingly, and ono or two laughed aloud; and tho old man notidod his head emphatically and whis pered to tho youug carpontor: 'That waajunt what h/ic deserved.’ "Tho young lady tucked back lior dress disdainfully and looked scornfully at tho man .beside lior. and I very vindictive; but, if sho was prevented by a gentleman s mailing u^i to tlio window where she sat und ex- o nenr no t getting back to any -good-bye,’ Clara.
