Englishman again, he led
the tired horse, with weary Johnny upon his back, to a wood-cutter's
cottage near at hand, where they were to pass the night.

Eric welcomed them with tears of joy in his eyes.

"O, Johnny, what a narrow escape you have had!"

"We ought to be very thankful," said the doctor.

"Yes," said Johnny, sleepily, "I am thankful!"

He woke up just before Eric went to bed, and said,--

"That boy said his name was Arthur Montgomery. Where have I heard that
name, Eric?"

"Why," exclaimed Eric, "that was the name on the box of money I found!"

"I knew I'd heard it somewhere," murmured Johnny, dropping off to sleep
again.

Eric ran to tell his uncle.

"Ah," said the doctor, quite pleased to be able to return a good deed, "we
will see them in the morning."

But in the morning the English travellers had disappeared, and our party
could find no trace of them.

Eric was much disappointed. Now he would be obliged to wait patiently for
Mr. Lacelle's letter.

Johnny and Jack were not injured by their descent of the mountain, whose
only effects were some pretty sore bruises, which Johnny tried not to
mind, and an obstinacy in Jack's disposition that no human powers of
persuasion could ever remove. He could never, after that memorable slide,
be induced to go near the edge of any kind of an embankment; and he always
declined going aboard a steamer, until Beauty and Percy had gone safely
over the gangway.

Miss VIRGINIA F. TOWNSEND'S BOOKS.

Uniform Edition. Cloth. $1 50 Each.

BUT A PHILISTINE.

"Another novel by the author of 'A Woman's Word' and 'Lenox Dare,' will be
warmly welcomed by hosts of readers of Miss Townsend's stories. There is
nothing of the 'sensational,' or so called realistic, school in her
writings. On the contrary, they are noted for their healthy moral tone and
pure sentiment, and yet are not wanting in STRIKING SITUATIONS AND
DRAMATIC INCIDENTS"--_Chicago Journal_

LENOX DARE.

"Her stories, always sunny and healthful, touch the springs of social life
and make the reader better acquainted with this great human organization
of which we all form a part, and tend to bring him into more intimate
sympathy with what is most pure and noble in our nature. Among the best of
her productions we place the volume here under notice. In temper and tone
the volume is calculated to exert a healthful and elevating
influence"--_New England Methodist_
