THE SWOOP OF A HAWK.
EXPERIENCE OF A SUMMER VISITOR
IN A NEW YORK SUBURB.
Turn to the right
medicine, if you’re a weak or ailing
woman. It’a Dr. Pierce’* Favorite
Prescription. If you’re overworked
or “ run-down,” it build* you up;
if you’re afflicted with any of the
distressing derangement* and dis
orders peculiar to your sex, it
relieves and cures. It improves
digestion, invigorates the system,
enriches the blood, dispels aches
and pains, melancholy and nervous
ness, produces refreshing sleep, and
restores flesh and strength. In the
■cure of all functional disturbances,
weaknesses, and irregularities, it’s
guaranteed to give satisfaction, or
the. money is refunded. It does
.all that’s claimed for it, or it
■couldn't be sold in this way.
It is a legitimate _ medicine—not
a beverage. Contains no alcohol
to inebriate; no syrup or sugar to
-sour or ferment in tho stomach and
•cause distress. As peculiar in its
marvelous, remedial results as in
its composition.

Mr. Roger* tvas late for tea. The red
twilight of August had failed, and a sea
breeze was rattling at the shutters before
be came in, looking warm and agitated.
Seeing him roused out of his usual caltu
excited our curiosity, but we asked no
questions till bo had eateu and refreshed
himself. Then we gathered around him.
"I hare had a most unpleasant adven
ture," he said in his solemn wuy. “I have
been chased by a hawk.” Now, if a
child of six had made that remark it
would have been touching, bnt for a
broad shouldered person of any number
of feet to announce that lie was afraid
of hawks was too innch for our sense of,
humor—we langhed. “What did yon
do?" asked the inquisitive member of our
bonso party, “f clapped iny hands and
shouted,” said Mr. Rogers, “but the
hawk didn't mind at all: it kept circling
round my head and swooping down”
We reasoned with him. We said it
was physically impossible for a hawk to
fly away with him. We told him the
next lime a hawk chased him to fall flat
npou his face and call for help. We
suggested that a plump lr juito hud
caused his alarm. All ill vain. He lis
tened withont emotion, and fixing his
eye on me as the most obtrusively merry
person present, said, “Wait till a luiwk
is after you: yon won’t like it.”
AN EVENING WALK.
The meaning in his words came to me
• fow days later. We had been bathing
in Pecouic bay. We staid there, splash
ing and swimming, till the blue water
turned gruy and the sun went down in a
red smudge. Then suddenly we all felt
an overpowering desire to get ont of our
clammy bathing salts and home to tea
as fast os passible. 1 decided to walk. 1
was cold; besides I rather wanted to get
away from the noisy crowd.
So the house party packed itself into
the wagonette and quickly disappeared
down the winding road, leaving me to
cut across the hills alone. (Funny with
whnt alacrity peopleiwlio nre really fond
of you leave yon behind.) I felt very
much alone somehow, and I almost
wished i had gone with them. Our
house is only a mile from the Pecouic
beach oh a level -line, hut as the Shinne-
cock hills are like so many green dump
lings one's progress is very upand downy,
and a mile may he twisted into astonish
ing lengths.
I struck across the fern scented hills at
a rapid pace, one moment on top of a
mountain range, with a view of the two
bays, the next down in a hollow with
only buy bashes fora horizon. Istopped
in a sort of cup to watch the coming
night. The earth sent up a warm, sweet
smell; little stars began to twinkle as
though pricked into the sky. Some
thing dark started up under my feet—
my shadow, for the moon had risen. t‘It
is nice to be alone sometimes,” 1 thought
One can’t be intimate with nature
when crowds of people nre about. I feel
now thnt I nm lying on her bosom”
Whirr-rl from the sky. Then two short
sounds like the flapping of a wet towel.
DISCRETION AND VALOR.
1 looked up. Right over my head,
poised us neatly us the sword of Dnmo-
cles, was a hawk. It looked quite stu-
tionury, hut I remembered Mr. Rogers’
words, and I felt hold. “The thing
doesn't seem inclined to swoop,” 1
thought. Then 1 started up a hill, with
my nose pointed at the hawk. Just as
I reached the top it gave two flaps and
swooped. 1 clapped tny hands. Where-
open the bird circled and dropped a few
feet.
“I won’t encourage it by looking at
it,” and I walked into the next hollow
in a dignified manner. Then I looked.
That.bmteof a bird was hovering in an
expectant attitude. As it caught tny
glance it began to circle; it circled till 1
grew dizzy; then it gave a cry of triumph
and swooped. That action demoralized
me; it tamed the hawk into a roc and
me inEb a pygmy.
With one “Shoot” of despair, I threw
manhood and self respect to the winds,
I ran. I ran ns hard as 1 could, up hill
and down. Brambles caught at me;
blackberry vinee clasped my ankles; but
once mounted on terror nothing could
■top me. My white flanneled figure
■hone out in the moonlight, adding zest
to tbs hawk’s attacks. On we raced,
swooping, running, dodging, bnt never
stopping till the friendly lights from the
house streamed out to meet us. Then
the hawk, with a long cry of scorn,
sailed away to the pine woods in the
west.
The house party was on the piazza as
loams up. “Glorious walk,” I cried.
“Ran half the way. Finest sport in the
world after bathingl” Mr. Rogers fol
lowed me into the boose. “It’s awful
when it swoops, isn’t itT he said, with
a cruel look in his brown eyes.—New
York Pott.
