ALASTAIR’S CROSS. “Rise up and come out now; it’s a bonny night for us indeed—and for tho work that’s afoot, lan Ban.” Tliuh a voice cried aloud from the midmost of the silent group c£ cragsmen and fisher Jnen that stood waiting dourly round the fast shut door cf lan Mac Alastair’s cottage, perched, like a gull’s nest, on the ridge of tho steep and shining bench at Roneidshay. “Make haste, man, make haste, aud come along with your self. It’s tired waiting here we are.” “Aye, aye, it’s ready and coming I em, Macdonald, but hasty work is aye ill work, and I was saying a bit prayer in an erra minute here; that was all.” The door swung open now, and the speaker came out into the half light that a sullen mocn gave as she slipped fitfully from cloud to cloud in tho windy sky. A handsome man, this fair lan, with eyes as blue as cornflowers, and a yellow beard that the wind was tossing all ways at once, but just now bis eyes were darkened and his face set with the same stern purpose that made dumb the crowd of kinsfolk and neigh bors around him. “Come out, Aias tair!” he called, and a tall slip of a lad came out and stood waiting by his side. His father had given him a strain of Danish blood as well as Celtic, and his mother had been kindly Irish of the Irish. But Alastair Mac Alastair favored neither fair lan nor dark Aileen, for isia eyes were of tho sea’s shifting color, and tho soft hair Under his fisherman’s cop was a dusky red. His eyebrows were of tho darkest, and against tho sunburn of check aud chin his lips showed curiously colorless, and in odd contrast to the sturdy men and strap ping lads around him was his extreme slenderness of build, in spite of the rough blue clothes which seemed almost to hide him. “I am boro, ” he said, Bpoaking in Gaelic, as ho stepped to his father’s side, “and the time ia hero, lan Mac- Alastair says. And what do you want of mo, neighbors?” “Go down to the beach, Alastair,” his father said curtly, and the boy obeyed silently. When their feet were ankle deep in water, lan Mac Alastair spoke again. “Did you pray before you slept tonight, Alastair? Yes? that’s good. Strip now. ” His sou lifted won dering eyes to lan’s gloomy face, but obeyed silently, and presently some ouo muttered a verse of an old speil song that changed the wonder in Aiastair’e eyes to comprehension. Naked hands and naked feet aro all that the Gen liac need of; Naked, oh, the sou! must go that the ninth wave has creed of! Naked heart, for the stars to sift, raked limbs for the tide to drift Out from tho shore, to come no more to the hoartia that the spirit has heed of. When the murmur died, Alastair raised his head and looked round on tho darkened faces with a flickering smile on his palo mouth. “Is it to drown my self you’ve brought mo here or will you do it, lan Mac Alastair? I’ll lift no fin ger to stop you, for long have I been knowing I was the needless mouth and tho useless hand among yon, and my red head bringing bad luck to your nets all the summer. Only I’d taka it kindly if you would do it quickly, friends—be cause it’s bitter cold it is waiting here. ” “ You shall not be waiting long, Alas tair,” lan said heavily, “and neither will you drown yourself nor wo you. We will bo giving you a chance, though not in Ronaldshay. ” “Roualshuy I know, ” Alastair said quietly, “and it’s glad I would bo if yon would kill me here with your own hand, lather — No'’ — His hand slipped from his father’s shoulder, “Then have your will and your way, lan Mac Ala stair, I’ll not gainsay you.” “There’s tho moon,” lan said at last, “now make ready.” Ko stooped and dragged some dark object at ht3 feet a little higher up tho beach, so that its lower end only lay in the sea. Alastair glanced at it and saw that it was a tree trunk, weed covered and barnacle grown with washing afoot in heavy seas. Upon it a spar wa3 lashed crosswise. Alastair looked at it a moment longer, then, in obedience to a gesture from his father, laid himself down upon it with his arms outstretched. Then Macdonald and another man stooped over him, lashing his feet together and than se curing his arms to the crosspiece just above the elbowß. Two stout ropes hold him by tho shoulders and went over his body, crossing on the breast, and these were drawn so tightly that Alastair, after enduring wi!h clinched tooth for a minute, Was forced to cry out. “Loosen it,” lan Mac Alastair said hoarsely, and the others obeyed. ‘‘l am safe now," Alastair said, smil ing, as they drew bach from him for A minute, “Your knots are fn-t, Macdon ald, and s>.,iro —ah!” They had raised tho cross upright now. And tho sudden strain upon his overwrought nerves had forced another cry from Alastair, hot tiro nest rough movement he bore in si lence, and it was with stmt lips and quiet eyes that be endured the sudden casting out from their midst and smoth ering splash into deep water. “A boat will be picking you up may be, but you will not becoming back to Ronaldshay, Judas JlafAlastair!” Mac donald shouted after him, but Alastair called no curse back, as those on shore half expected. Ho did not ovon turn his head to look at the shore, but lay si ill upon his cross, taking wit!', the same quietness the stinging of the suit -pray in his eyes and the tingling pain ia his bound limbs. • “Raked limbs—the sea has need of,” Alastair whispered presently. “Does the sea want me any more than tho laud does, Iwondor? Oh,'but it’s cold, cold!” i shuddering ns one wave after another drove over his naked body. “X wish tho wind would rise; then I wouid get a chanced drowning. X- tin a mutter of thunder? I wish it were. Mother, are yon sorrowful somowhoro for mo to night?” A nearer mutter of thunder stopped his murmuring, and the next hour laid another cross upon Alastair’s burdened shoulders—tho cross of per petual tossing about from drowning to life as the big seas lifted bim now and now broke over him in a clutter of yel- Idwfoam. When the stress of the storm wont by, Alastair had fainted, but pres ently the splash of somo tossing wrack upon his naked breast brought him to a knowledge of hunger and cold and pain. “The fish will ho plenty next cast, I’m thinking, ” Alastair gasped as he tried to’ shako tho drenched hair from his eyos. “If ouiy the sea won’t cast me up at their very doors —or then they will bo thinking I’d bo coming back again to haunt them. Is it coming loose I am?” Tho rope had slipped from his right cm, leaving it free, and tho next wave flung him against a sharp edged rook, bruising his free arm on tho small sharp shells that covered it. But Alns tair clung fast to tho rock, with a light in his faoo that would not fade for all the pain of torn flesh and nerves, and presently ho found what ho was seeking —a crevice through which ho could thrust his fingers. When his hand was fixed fust in tho jaggod hole, the light deepened and softened in Al.’istaif'sfaee. : “This is good, this is better,” he whispered, “than the open eea, and still this will not hurt my own folk, for this rock is not Ronaldshay. * * * Kind, kind, after all, are yon, sea o' mo, kind-- | or than I dared hope you’d bo.” And I now a big wave lilted him softly an 1 turned him over on his faco, still an chored to tho rock by his right hand. Tho weight of tho cross on hi3 back pressed him down an arm’s length, no more, and then the sea that ho had loved very gently took tho soul of Alas tair Mac Alastair to itself. At, long last fishermen from the is land of Eday found him, still bound to his cross. Though they were afraid to take the drowned lad aboard 'their boat, lest they should sutler in their herring harvests, they towed cros3 and all a more with them and barfed cross and ail in their windy hill graveyard, where lie thono fow men t£ Eday that the sea has not drowned* And the story of Cross Alastair is a woeful story in tho North isles to this day.—Black and White. Ills Regret, “I regret to observe,” said Skilltcn, “that there is to be .another yacht race for tho America’s cup.” “Regret? Why, it indicates that England and the United States arc com ing together again!” Faid Jones. “That’s just it, ” said Skilltcn. “We v/ere beginning to get along so nicely, and now ail the old troubles will he re opened. ” —Harper’s Bazar. Indian Falla cs Shoplifter. A Navajo Indian can rude more bulk Within tho folds of his blanket than a two bushel basket could hold and can 6uce<* -fully hide many stolen articles before our eyes. Tho settlers along the &;.u Juan and Animas rivers, during the early days, had to put ail their stealablo possessions in cue corner of their places of abode and stand guard'when tho Ka vajoes wore visitors, v> 's ea was a too frequent occurrence. “Chinny ab-go!” (meaning something to eat) was the tint intimation . generally that an Indian was near (perhaps a half dozen). They rarely exceeded half a dozen in number, as they, like the American hobo, had learned tbat smaller numbers stood a better show to get something to eat. One day- in A. R. Lincoln’s cabin, on tho south bank of tho San Juan river, throo bachelois were partaking of their evening meal when a Navajo with a glass eye walked in. All tried to watch the Indian’s movements, but he had managed to get several articles under hfs blanket and would have been detected had not an accident befallen him. A hatchet which slipped from one of tho folds in his blanket foil, and the sharp blade cut a long gash in the calf of his leg. The Indian looked to the roof of the cabin as if wondering where the hatchet had fallen from, but the blood spurting from the open gash be trayed him. His blanket was shaken, and a butcher knife, miner’s candle stick, several candles and a package of tobacco, all belonging in the cabin, foil on the earthy floor. —Durango (Gel.)

Just wait a miuufo while I go In and get a drink of buttermilk. ” With this ho jumped out of the car riage and entered the building. My country friend says that whey is not pleasant to take and that even the pigs won’t eat it. But when tho special cor respondent askt.d for buttermilk the t>eople in tho factory gave him a big glass of thin, adduces liquid, which ho swallowed down at a draft. The driv was then continued. Tho special corre spondent seemed to bo very thoughtful. Ho finally exclaimed in his explosive fashion: "Well, Smith, I don’t know what breed of cows you raise up bore, but that was the darudest buttermilk l over tasted. ” —Paper Mill. Two Stops at a Tl.tio, Ono evidence c? tho ever hustling char acteristics of the average New Yorker ia ; shown on the (stairways of the np town | station of the elevated railroad at Park i place and Church street. Tho steps of these stairways are covered with rub ber, but every other step has largo iron rings imbedded lu tho rubber. This was caused by tho fact that the New Yorker is never content to wait even one minute for a train, and that when ho hears ono approaching as he is at tlie foot of the stairs he will rush up tho stairs two steps at a time boning to catch tho train. Asa result tho < levatcd railroad ofii oials noticed that tho rubber matting on every other step was wearing out twice as quickly as the rest. For a long time they pondered as to tho cense, and ono day Manager Fransioli solved tho prob lem. To know was to act in his case, and the steel ra-enforoed rubber now lasts if anything longer than the or dinary me t 3 ca the other steps.— New York Son. Vlctc.r iTue° In Ezlle.
