Station Required at Once
The recent trip of C. P. R. pffipials through here and the
palpable evidenpe of the need of better railway facilities ahd
accommodation along the line, may probably result in much
good accruing to the poople of New Michel. From the business outlook, that must have been apparent to the railway
people, we cannot see how they can much longer delay giv>
ing New Michel wbat she is justly entitled to in the way of
station and surrounding advantages.- We Jook with a good
deal of confidence to the outcome, aud when it does arrive,
we feel assured it will be in no half hearted manner, .for
when the president of the C. P. R. does things, he does
them on a scale commensurate with the importance of his
great transcontinental line.

NEW   AGREEMENT   SIGNED
On Monday Oct. 4, the employees of the Crow's Nest
Pass Coal Company at Michol, voted on the proposed Doctors agreement between Dr. T, A. Wilson and tbe employees
as represented by Michel Local Union No. 2334, U. M. W.
of A., and the doctor's agreement was ratified by a majority of 207 votes. The doctor's agreement gives ample medical and hospital attendance and tho reporting of all accidents to the Secretary of Michel Local Union so as to do
away with the difficulty of collecting compensation for injured members from the Coal Company, both from Old and
New Michel, and the niineworkers the right to build a hospital of their own. It's about time tho niineworkers of Michel owned a hospital of their own, and then they would not
have to depend upon the good- will of a coal corporation for
hospital accommodation and in the long run it would only
mean their paying about half what they have to pay at the
present time, the same as they have tout Coleman where the!
niineworkers own their own hospital. Dr, T. A. Wilson is1
now making arrangements with Dr. H. S. McSorley to lake)
over his hospital equipment and hospital so that he can got
down to business.

LOVE'SJNTUITION.
A Girl Who Was Able to Read
Beneath the Surface.
By   MARY   WOOD.
Above tli£ shrill wlilr of the crickets
rose the hum nf feminine voices. Under the green apple boughs the hammock convention wns In full swing.
Miss Maybrlck culled It a hornets' nest
nnd preferred the doubtful coolness of
the piazza. Hut, then, she was a college professor, too superior to appreciate the joys of the younger set.
Jane Carew. however, sometimes
agreed with her. This afternoon she
litd her 'ace behind a hook, while girlish fancies carried her fnr above the
swaying leaves up Into the perfect
blue of the July sky. How lovely n»-
tnre was this summer, how full life of
new delights!
Miss Moybrlck's name brought her
back to earth ngnlu-MlsB Maybrlck,
the one cloud In her sky.
"Oh. yes, she approves of him," sancy
Madge was saying. "She can put up
witb his sunburned face, roughened
hands nnd the general boorlshness of
a farmer. Rut I suppose at her age
any man is acceptable. To tell the
truth. I have almost reached that condition myself In this man forsaken
spot." And she shook her head Id
mock despair.
"Jane agrees with her," some one
nilded a little maliciously. "She never
seems to mind sharing bis attentions
•with her."
A book went dowu wltb a crash and
angry spots of scarlet glowed ln Jane'a
cheeks us she said defiantly: "John
Staunton Is not a boor. He Is a gen-
tloman. Just becnuse he scorns to
talk the twaddle that men usually
think good enough for us girls you
vote htm a boor. He often makes mo
ashamed of the little I know, and the
books he lends me have opened up a
new world, a world bigger nnd better
tban all the flirting and shams and
heartaches thnt go to make up society. No wonder he likes to talk to |
Miss Maybrlck. She's worth the whole
lot of us when It comes to knowing
the things that are worth while!"
The girl stopped short with 11 gasp
as sbe realized the, horrified hush wblch
bad fallen on the circle. "Oh, wbat
hnve I said?" she cried and burled her
face In ber cushions.
But Madge's gay voice was tender as
she stroked tbe brown head. "You've
read us a lecture, Janie, denr," she
Bald gently, "but 1 fancy we-needed it
a bit It's horrid to talk about one of
your friends the way we talk about
Stauntou, nnd we ought to ask yonr
pardon. As for Miss Maybrlck, she's a
stuck up old tblng. aud you're ever no
tnucb ulcer than she iu spite of all she
knows. Just watt till Cousin Alex
comes next week and see tbe. new
world that he opens to you. He Is
really literal*}' and writes things for
otber people to rend."
Jane's face wns still hidden. Sbe
was battling to overcome ber tears
and even harder' to drive out of ber
heart the unreasonable jealousy of the
older woman thnt somehow had crept
Into It. Tbe time had been wben she
■would hnve scorned her as a rival, but
love bad made her bumble. Youth and
beauty seemed of smnll weight to cast
Into the scales ngalnst years of scholastic training and study.
Cousin Alex came. He was a slim,
dapper young man, with an Important
manner rather nt variance wltb hla
size. But tie had a way of retailing
old jokes thnt mnde them seem new
and a stock of compliments suited
to every age ami was therefore greatly
In favor among the guests at the
sleepy old farmhouse. As befitting his
pretensions as a journalist be rattled
on unceasingly about books and literature. He knew this man uud tbat
book, and, above all. he was one whose
name abould some day stand foremost
In tbe world of letters. The date was
not yet set, but he spoke of "bis novel"
.mysteriously, even reverently, and bis
feminine audience was accordingly Impressed.
More or less unwillingly Jane wns
complelleil to listen to many of these
predictions, for "Cousin Alex" at once
developed a fondness for her society.
Perhaps certain glances that Staunton
cast lu tils direction added zest to the
chase. Perhaps It was tbe elusive
fashion In which Ihe girl received bis
advances. Certain It Is thnt a week's
time hnd earned him the very fitting
name of "Jane's shadow."
Yet to Jane herself ench day seemed
to bring more unhapplness. Staunton
enme as often ns ever, but nt sight of I
Alex by ber side he left the laughing
group to chat with Miss Maybrlck In
Intimate aloofness. And as tbe girl
saw the door to the beautiful new
world closing becnuse the band of him
Who held It open was withdrawn the
pain and wenrlnesR of her old frivolous life seemed nlmost pnst bearing.
Her eyes were more wli ifnl than she
knew oue evening ns she snw a tall,
muscular figure swing up the walk
with the easy, confident stride of the
man who wns master of bis fate.
Staunton's fnce softened as be met
them. nnd. though Cousin Mei Ham-
lilln was on hand, ns usual, he settleil
himself on the top step with the ntr
of a mnn who had come to stay. The
brown eyes were downcast now, but a
shy blush of pleasure stilt flushed ber
checks.
There wns always n visible air of
constraint between the two men, but
Hnmblln rose manfully to the occasion. Here wns n most longed for op-
mortnnlty to prove to Miss Jane that
IStnunton wns but n boor of a farmer,
■after all, and no match for a man ot
Itbe world like himself.
If the older man detected bis halt*
veiled  tone of  patronage,  he  only
imllcd quizzically. ItWIeed. his position
noon/grew more untenable than tbat
if his adversary. As the conversation
ranged from books to men and hack
to books again Jane saw, witb a thrill
it pride, that Staunton more than beld
ul8 own. Wbnt Is more, he held his
temper, a precaution neglected by the
itberi
At last the talk fell upon one of tbe
recent novels, a book of unusual
strength and breadtb of view. Jane
hnd rend It several times, for It had
seemed tn point ber to the new life she
longed to live. Staunton was silent, as
though <n unspoken condemnation.
Thereupon Hnmblln became nn enthusiastic defender nnd openly scoffed at
his lack of appreciation.
A shadow crossed the moonlit porch,
but the three did uot see Miss Maybrlck till her voice broke in on the
controversy.
"You would not expect Mr. Staunton
to criticise his own book, would you?"
sbe said calmly. Then, ns her ear
raught Jane's low exclamation of wonder, she added tn a tone of surprise:
"Had you not guessed thnt he was an
author, Miss Carew") 1 heard that you
defended him very eloquently one afternoon In the orchard and said a good
word for me too. Kor that 1 want to
tbnnk you."      ,.
Staunton's fnce was turned toward
the blushing girl, and In full moonlight
Miss Maybrlck could read his secret
.'.f It sounded the denthknell to some
hope ln her Own heart, gratitude to her
companion made her lead the bewildered Alex for a walk down the lane
nnd a gradual restoration of bis self
confidence.
"And 1 have to thnnk you, too, Jane,"
Staunton said tenderly.
But he took her down to the orchard
and told her In his own way.
"How did yon guess that 1 was not
the farmer I pretended to be?" with a
hint of wonder under his gladness.
Jnne raised a face radiant with the
realization that the new world was
opened forever. "Just because you are
you," she said Joyously. "Love la not
always blind."
A Story That Varies.
There la a story more or less diffused of n young bride on her wedding
day playing the game of hide and seek
end concealing herself In one of those
ancient carved chests of large size.
After she had got In tbe lid closed,
nnd sbe found herself unable to raise
It again, for It fastened with a spring.
and Bhe was shut In. Search was
made for her In every quarter but the
right one, and great perplexity and
dismay were caused by her disappearance. It was not till years after, wben
chance led to the opening of the chest
that the body of the young bride was
discovered and the mystery of her disappearance solved.
The story Is found ln so many places
that it may he questioned whether It
Is true of any one of them. Rogers
tells It of a palace In Modenn. Tbe
chest In which tbe poor bride was
found Is shown at Brnmshill.ln Hampshire, tbe residence of Sir John Cope.
Another similar cbest wltb precisely
the same story attached to It was long
shown at Marwell Old Hall, between
Winchester and Bishop's Waltbam.
The folk tale of Catsklu or Peau
d'Ane represents the girl flying wltb
her bridal dresses from a marriage
tbat Is repugnant to ber. and as this
tale Is found all over Europe It may
have metamorphosed Itself Into thnt
of the bride who got Into a chest and
died tbere.-Cornhlll Magazine.
Detecting a Thief.
Some of the stories In the "Folklore
of tbe Holy Land" seem to be at least
founded on fact. And, Indeed, when
we come down to quite recent times
we find undoubtedly; genuine stories
that m.'iht have been told of the days
of the caliphs.
Here Is one of Ibrahim Pasha:
A goldsmith of Jaffa complained
that his bouse had been robbed and
remarked that the Egyptian occupation hnd not brought security.
The pasha promised redress.
The next day be came to the man's
shop and In the presence of a great
crowd ordered the executioner, to give
the door a hundred lashes.
Then be stooped as If to listen. "The
door tells nonsense." he cried; "another hundred!"
He stooped again.
"The same title; the door persists
thnt the thief Is somewhere In this
crowd of honest people and that he
has some of the dust and cobwebs
from the shop on his tarboosh."
He hud his eye on the crowd and
saw a mnn hastily raise bis band to
brush bis fez.
. Tbe mnn was arrested and confessed
his guilt.  	
A Chromatic Love Affair.
"Marooned!" muttered tbe villain,
turning white nnd striking his forehead. '
Violet pearl of women, had refused
blm again.
) He lapsed Into n brown study, wondering If he were too green lo win
any woman's love. Perhaps she objected to bis prematurely gray bair,
or could It be thnt tbe cardinal virtues
of bis rival outweighed his old gold?
The hero entering, black as a thunder cloud, readily solved the mystery.
'•There's a yellow streak In you!" he
cried. "In the hope of winning my
betrothed, Violet, you have Jilted
Alice, and It lias mnde Alice blue!"
The villain rose, madder than a hornet, purpling with rage beneath bis
tan. But before be could speak the
hero had pinked hlm with his sword.
Violet screamed.   Terror caught-'er.
But her lover soothed her.
"Red of hlm at last." he murmured,
folding her ln his arms and kissing
uer cherry lips as the crimson ran
Mink tn the west, partially obscured
by the London smoke.

The thin white Summer itlki, barred

eipeclally If the neck of the thin gulmpe

SCHCOLDAY BLUNDERS,

The inability of the mind of growing children to retain more than a
fragment of their tutor's instructions
is evidenced in the little blunders we
all have made when called upon to
answer questions,' Facts, their answers show, have been retained, but ,
they have not been properly class!'
tied in the mind, and therefore, when
the student seeks to use them, he
finds them somewhat disassociated
and his answers become a trifle mix.
ed. Especially is this true of the
young student of the Bible. There
are too many characters, and the
facts concerning them are' entirely
too numerous (or his undeveloped
mind to classify. Therefore we are
not surprised to learn from one
youngster that Moses wae an Egypt,
ian who lived in an ark of bull-
rushes, kept a golden calf, and worshipped, braien snakes', and "ate
nothing but kwales and manna .for
forty years," or 'thai he was caught
by the hair of his head while riding
under a bough of a free, and Wan
killed by his son AHsolom as he war
hanging from the bough.
To the question "Who was Jonah?"
one lad replied:
"He was the father of Lot and had
two wives. One was celled Ishmael
and the other Hagher; he kept one at
home and he turned the other loose
in the desert, and she became a pillow of salt' in the day time ana a
pillow ol Are at night/' .
"What did Moses do with the tabernacle?": was asked by another Sunday School teacher, to which one boy
replied that he chucked it out of the
camp, the teacher, in surprise,' ask.
ed Him. where he obtained this in-
formation, aiid the hoy promptly
quoted the first sentence a\ the
seventh verse of the thirty-third chap-
ter of Exodus: "And Moses took tht
tabernacle and pitched it without the
camp."
Another lad informed his teacher
that Elijah waB/such a good man that '
he went to heaven without dying,
nnd that while he was going up he
threw his coat down for Queen Elisa-
.beth to step on. ""Esau," he said,
"was a man wht wrote fables ahd
sold the copyright lo a publisher for
a bottle of potash."
The   blunders, of  youth   are   not,
however, confined to socred history,
as these answers, vouched for by the '
several   teachers   who   have   saved
them to posterity, will testify:
"Tobacco was introduced Into England by Sir Walter Raleigh, nnd as
!!£..aat ""oking a pipe he shouted:
This day, Moster Ridley, we hava
lighted such a fire as shall never be

"The reign of Queen Ann was the

The beauty ot the mouth depend!
Immensely upon human nature,
Thought and emotion are the sculptors
of the mouth, so that If the heart and
mind Incline too much toward the unlovely of life, the secret can never be
hidden. Emeraon—that molt spiritual of wrlten—telle ue that the mouth
through ennobling thought, of course)
Is capable of the greatest beauty.
With the wrong emotions, emphasizing
qualities appear In the cheeks and chin,
so that a happy and pure mouth, or a
bitter and coarse one. may change tht
very tormatlon of the entire countenance.
The habl' of grimacing ii greatly to
be deolored, for. evep a beautiful
woman can spoil ■ her face by some
habitual contortion of the mouth, while
for a genuinely ugly woman to do thli
seems  an actual   pretumtion.  10   cro-
tesquely and cruelly plain will ahe
appear.
The mouth of a well bred peraop Is
sealed with the very spirit of repoie
when It li not called upon to perform
any of the dutlea inherent to the flesh.
and ihote who ignore thli widespread
opinion are likely to bo classed at last
among the "vulgar herd."
Though generally Indicative of a
nature that la anything but spiritual,
lax, flabby lips—the "loose" mouth that
the novelist loves to plant upon tome
unfortunate creature of hit brain—are
tometlmet the result of sheer carelessness.
Women who are conscious of this
defect ihould learn to hold lips more
flrmly, and they may further Improve
them with some astringent or other,
suoh as alum or camphor or tannin.
This species of mouth should also be
taught reetraint In every way—tbat It
must never hold Itself open or Indulge
In any volubility that tends to emphasise Its falling!. It must be given to
understand that It occupies a minor
plaoe ln the world and that It must
assume a modesty though It have It
not . , ,
Very thick lips may be held In a
way so that a part of them ll oon-
cealed In the fold of the mouth, while
a little attention to a mouth unduly
wide will prevent lti owner from
spreading It too much with speech, and
teach her how to keep It at all times
within reaaonable boundi.
The perfect mouth—that delicate bow
neither too wide nor too narrow, whose
curvet are all tweet and tender,—
whin aooompanled by perfect teeth, Is
one of the loveliest of creations. Yet
even a perfect mouth may be Improved
tomtlmn by a touch of rouge, for
beauty of line does not alwayt mean

brnth, and for thli purifying .purpose
pray let me recommend chewing Canadian anakeroot, though thli will have

XT li easy enough, after the first
few daye or weeks, for the girl
away from home for the firtt
time at school or college to adjust herself to her new surroundings. She
keeps her eyes and ears open, her
mouth shut, takes the advice of the
upper classmen, and soon comes to
think that at last ahe has found the
world to which she was bom, and for
which-she has been vainly looking all
her life.
But, strangely and by some contrary
fate, It Is generally a hard thing for
this same girl later on to readjust herielf to her home and to the world-that-
haen't-been-to-college In general. We
all know the kind of girl who cornea
home after her flrst year at boarding
school, or her freshman year at college,
filled with enthusiasm and new ideas,
and absolutely out of sympathy with
the quiet little town, or the quiet part
of tha noisy big town In which she
lives, and which uaed to satisfy all
her social and Intellectual cravings.
She ti'Ita, desperately and In the wrong
way, to straighten things out and to
■bring people around to her way of
thinking. Then she settles down to
deep despair and tragic disappointment with everyone and everything,
.until, by soma lucky chance, she either
falls In love and gets married, decides
to go to work, or else flti herielf to
the place that won't tit Itself to her.
I There are a few don'ts, and more
Idos. that ought to help the girl who
finds herself at home after a year, or
four years, away at school or college.
(and ln a little difficulty about adjusting
herself to her old life.
The flrst don't Is a big one, and Its
observance will avoid much trouble,

■ure to have a' hard tlm« There la
a pleasant little pension ln Paris run
by a oharming French woman. Htr
■house la usually filled with American
guests, and ehe Is always willing to
chaperon such young women as want
her to. Ont summer tvtnlng thtrt
wen at this pension several new arrivals at dinner, and after Madame, who
•at at tht htad of the table.to dispense
Itht wine, had Introduced them, one of
Itht young girls whom Madame waa
chaperoning began te talk to the newcomers. Bhe addressed •bsrtttf to tht
man at htr tide. —
"I don't suppose yon-re seen tht
Salnta Ghapelle? NoT Of coune not;
[you've only Just come. Perhaps you've
[never even heard of it, but of count
I've been to college and wt studied
architecture. It's one of tht most
charming things here—pure Gothic.
[You know, the true identification of
Gothic architecture—-but I don't tup-
jpose you do, and it's too difficult for
ia layman to understand, sol shan't
;iry to explain.    Some people' stupidly
suppose anything with a pointed arch
Is real Gothic. It must be to funny to
go about and look at all those wonderful buildings, and not really under-
Hand what you're looking at!"
She rattled on at a great rate, hinting at the wonders of phlloiophy, psychology, zoology and Sanskrit, and
everyone listened to her with courteous
attention. And ahe didn't even know
enough to be ashamed of herielf when
ahe found that the man to whom ihe
had talk-? I about the Salnte Chappelle
was a well known New York architect,
In Paris for the very purpose of studying Gothic architecture!
Of count, she Is an unusual specimen,- for which let us be thankful,—
but sho Is a real girl and a good example of what not to be. It la much
better for„tht college girl to keep her
learning In'the background until there
Is srfme demand for It to be ahown In
the proper way and at the proper time,
than to parade It continually and have
It and herself at leant secretly laughed
at
Tht ntxt don't Is for the direct opposite of this girl. i»»n'e foolishly refuse to talk about your life and work
at college or school If somebody wanta
to hear about I'.. If somtont who
knowa you have been to college aiks
you to tell him ahout It, don't any,
"Oh, pleaso let's not talk about that!
It's such a boral And I'vt really forgotten about It." This la a very rude
attitude to take towards anyone who
haa troubled hlmsolf to talk about what
you ought to be Interested In.
Another don't concerns Itself with
clothes. Don't go about bareheaded In
a sedate little town In winter Just be-
cause you used to do so on tht college
campus. Don't wear In the city streets
tht numerals on your sweater which
tht attainment of a much coveted place
on the college gym team gave you.
Don't think you must woar evening clothes for the simple lupptr
which Is the rule In tht town whtre
you live. Just became you used to
dress for dinner at boarding school.
Don't ride horseback In tht city parka
without a hat and with your hair
streaming at the mercy of tht wind,
because on the country roads about tht
college town you used to rldt that way.
Although a girl who dots any of these
things Is not being unladylike, she Is,
nevertheless, surely breaking the laws
of strictly good taste, because ihe la
trying to force her own opinions where
they are not wanted. *
Also, don't spread oollegt cusnwnn,
bannors and trophies over tht entire
house, hut confine them to your own
bed-room and den. whtrt they are In
perfect taste. Don't ask the Ladles'
Missionary Society of your church to
conduct Its meetings according to the
rules laid down In Hubert's "Utiles in
Order:" don't Insist on talking about
the amphloxus or Spinosa's "De Intel-
lectus emandatione" when the real of
the girls want to talk about tht mtn
at tht danct last night or what kind
of sleeves art going to be worn next
season.
Now for the Dos, They art as hard
to observe as the don'ti, but carefully
observed, they are sure to bring happiness and   popularity.    '
In the flrst place, decide that you art
going to make a place for yourself
with your old friends. Begin by doing
whatever they do. and doing It aa
naturally as possible, tt le absurd for

He shoved the candle nearer on tbe
table. "There's a queer look In your
face, Hugh!" he said, with a clumsy
attempt at kindness. "That rock they

From a cranny ln the clay chinked
wall be took a chamois skin bag. It/
contained a quantity of gold dust and
small nuggets, which he poured Into
a miner's scales on the table and proceeded to divide ln two portions. This
accomplished, he emptied one of the
portions on to a paper and pushed It
out
"That's yours." he said.
Harry's eyes were on his with a
piercing Intensity now, aa though they
looked through blm to a vast distance
beyond. He was staring through a
.■gray midst at something far off, but
significant, that eluded his direct
vision. Tbe board table, the yellow
gold, the flickering candlelight, recalled something horrifying, in some other
world, in some other life, millions of
ages ago.
He lurched to his feet, overturning
the table. The gold dust rattled to the
floor.
"Your dealt" he said. Then, with a
vague laugh, be fell sldewlse upon the
bunk.
August Prendergast stared at him
with a look of amazement on his yellow face. "He's crazy as a chicken I"
he said.
He eat watching htm awhile, then
rose and kindled a Are on the unswept
hearth. From a litter of cans and
dented utensils ln a corner be proceeded to cook himself supper, after
whlcb he carefully brushed up the
scattered gold dust and returned It all
to Ita hiding place. Lastly he rummaged on a shelf and found a vial.
This proved to be empty, however,
and he set It on the table.
"I guess yon'll do well enough without any pain killer," he said to himself. "Doctors are expensive. Anyway, I'll be back by midnight."
He threw more wood on the fire,
blew out the candle nnd, closing the
door behind him, set off down the
trail to tbe town, where a faro bank
soon acquired tbe bill Jessica had given hlm.
Chapter 15
€
|T was pitch dark when
Jessica reached the sanitarium, though sbe went
like a whirlwind, the
chill damp smell of the
dewy balsams In ber nostrils, the dust rising ghostlike behind
the rapid hoofs. She found David
Stlres anxious and peevish over ber
late coming.
She felt a relief when the old man
grew tired and was wheeled to his
bedroom.
Left alone, her reflections returned.
Bhe began to be tortured. Sbe tried
to read. Tbe printed characters swam
beyond ber comprehension. At length
ahe drew a hood over her bead and
atole out on to the wide porch. -
It was ouly tl o'clock, and along tbe
gravel paths that wound among the
shrubbery a few dim farms were strolling. She caught tbe scent of a cigar
and the sound of a woman's Inugb.
The air was crisp and bracing, with
n promise of frost und painted leaves.
She gazed down ncrosB Ihe dark
gulches toward tbe town, a straggling
design pricked In blinding yellow
points. Halfway between, folded In
the darkness, lay tho green sbelf and
the cabin to wbleb her thought recurred with a kind of compulsion-
There waa no moon, hut tbe stars
were glowing like tiny green gilt coals.
and the yellow road lay plain and
clear. With a sadden determination
■he drew her light cloak closely about
her. Btepped down, sped across the
grass to a footpath and so to the road.
As she ran on down the curving stretch
under the trees the crackling slip of
bank paper thnt lay In ber bosom
•coined to burn her flesh. Bhe was
(teallug awny to gaze upon tbe outcast wbo bad shamed and bumbled
her—going, she knew not why, wltb
burning cheek nnd hammering heart
She slipped through the side trail tn
the cabin with a choking Kensntlon.
She stole to the window nud peered
tn. In the firelight she could see the
form on the bunk, tossing and mutter
ing. Otherwise the place was empty.
She lifted tbe latch softly and entered.
The strained anxiety of Jessica's
look relaxed as she gazed nbout her.
Bhe saw tbe vial on the tnble. The
doctor hnd been there, then. If he
ware In serious case, Prendergast
would be, with him. Sbe threw back
ber hood, drew one of tbe chairs to
tbr side of tbe bnnk nnd snt down, ber
eyet fixed on bis face.   The weakness
and helplessness or bis posture struck
through and tbrongh her. Two sides
of ber were struggling ln a chaotic
combat for mastery.
"I hate you! I bate your she said
under her breath, clinching her cola
band. "I must hate you! You stole
my love and put It under your feetl
You have disgraced my present and
ruined my future! What If you have
forgotten the past—your crime? Does
that make you the less guilty or me
the less wretched?"
But withal a silent voice within her
gave the He to her vehemence. Some
element of her character that bad been
rigid and Intact was crumbling down.
An old sweet something that a dreadful mill had ground and crushed and
annihilated was rising whole and undented, superior to any petty distinction, regardless of all that lifted combative ln her Inheritance, not to be
gainsaid or denied.
She leaned' closer, listening to the Incoherent words and broken phrases
borne on the turbid channels of fever.
But she could not link them together
into meaning. Only one name he spoke
clearly over and over again—the name
Hugh Stlres—repeated with the dreary
monotony of a child conning a lesson.
She noted tbe mark across his brow.
Before her. marriage, ln her blindness,
she had used to wonder what it was
like. It was not in tbe least disfiguring.. It gave a touch of the extraordinary. It was so small she did not
wonder that in that ecstatic moment of
ber bride's kiss bhe had not seen It.
Slowly, half fearfully, she stretched
out her hand and laid It on his. As if
at the touch the mutterings ceased.
She bent and touched her lips to Ms forehead.
The eyes opened, and a confused, troubled look crept to them. Then they
closed again, and the look faded out
Into a peace that remained.
A thrill ran through her, the sense
ot moral power of the weak over tbe
strong, of the feminine over the masculine.
A rising flush stained ber cheeks.
With a sudden Impulse and wltb a
guilty backward glance sbe bent and
touched her lips to his forehead.
She drew back quickly, ber face
flooded with color, caught her breath,
then, drawing ber hood over ber head,
went swiftly to the door and was lost
in tbe darkness.

WheJu toward 'midnight the fever
ebbed. Sanderson bad fallen Into a
deep sleep of exhaustion, from which
he opened bis eyes next morning upon
the figure of Prendergast sitting, pipe
iu month. In the sunny doorway.
He lifted blmself on his elbow. Thnt
crafty race bad been Inexplicably woven with the delirious fantasies of his
fever. Where and when hud he known
It? Then In a great tide welled,'brer
blm tbe memory of bis last conscious
hours—tbe scene In the saloon, the
fight, tbe music, the sudden appalling
discovery of his name and repute. Be
remembered the sickening wave of self
disgust, the fierce agony of resentment
that had beat In his every vein as be
walked up the darkening street He
remembered the thrown quartz. No
doubt another missile had struck home
or he had been set upon, kicked and
pommeled Into Insensibility. This old
man—a miner probably, for there were
picks and shovels In the, corner—had
succored him. He bad been ill, there
was lassitude In every limb, and shadowy recollections tantalized hlm. He
retained a dim consciousness of a woman's face—the face be had seen on
the balcony—leaning near him, bringing Into a painful disorder a sense of
grateful coolness, of fragVance and of
rest
As be stared again at the seated figure, the grim fact reared like a grisly
specter, deriding, thrusting Its haggard
presence upon

What had been

hy what miracle had he been so altered
as to look upon himself wltb loathing?
He lifted blmself upright dropping
his feet to the floor. At the movement
the mnn on the doorstep rose quickly
and enme forward.
"You're better, Hngh," he ssld. "Take
It enR,v though. Don't get up Jut yet-

"I'm going lo cook

a sancepan on tbem. "Yon'll be stronger wben you've got something between your ribs." be added.
"How long have 1 been lying henr* !
asked Harry.
"Only since last night You've bad a|

"Where la my dog?"
"Dog?" said the other. "I never
knew you had one."
Harry's lips set bitterly. It had fared
more hardly, then, than he. It had
been a ready object for the crowd to
wreak their hatred upon, because It
belonged to blm—because It was Hugh
Stlres' dog!
"Is this your cabin, my friend?"
The figure bending over tbe hearth
straightened Itself with a jerk, and
the blinking yellow eyes looked hard
at blm. Prendergast came close to the
bunk.
"That's the game yon played ln the
town," he said, with a surly sneer.
"It's all right for those that take It
In, but you needn't try to bamboozle
me, pretending you don't know yonr
own claim and cabin! I'm no such
fool!"
A dull flush came to Harry's brow.
Here was a page from that Iniquitous
past that faced him. His own cabin!
And his own claim!  Well, why not?
"You are mistaken," he said calmly.
"I am not pretending. I cannot remember you."
Prendergast laughed ln an ugly, derisive way. "I suppose you've forgotten the half year we've lived here
together and the gold dost we've gathered ln now and again—slipped It all,
have you?"
Harry stood up. The motion brought
a temporary dizziness, but it passed.
He walked to the door and gazed out
on the pleasant green of the hillside.
On a tree near by was nailed a rough,
weather beaten board on' which was
scrawled, "The Little Paymaster
Claim," He saw the grass grown
gravel trenches, evidence of abandon,
ed work. He had been a miner. That
In Itself was honest'toll.
"The claim is good, then," he snid
over bis shoulder. "We found the
pay?"
Prendergast contemplated him a moment In grim silence, with a scowl.
"You're either really fuddled, Hugh,"
he said then, "or else you're a star
play actor and up to something deep.
Well, have It your own way—It's all
the same to me. But you can't pull
the wool over my eyes long!"
There were mockery and threat In
bis tone; but, more than both, the evil
Intimacy ln his words gave Harry a
qualm of disgust This man had been
his. associate.. That one hour In the
town had shown blm wbat his own
life there bad been.
What should he. do? Forsake forever the neighborhood where he had
made his blistering mark? Fling all
aside and start again somewhere and
leave behind this disgraceful present
with that face that had looked Into
his from above the dusty street?
If fate Intended that, why had It
turned him back? If such was the
bed he had made, he wonld He In It
He would drink the gall and vluegur
without whimpering. Whatever Iny

man at least hnd befriended him.
He turned Into the room. - "Perhaps I
shall remember after awhile." He took
the saucepan from Prendergast's hand.
"I'll cook tbe breakfast" lie said.
Prendergast filled his pipe and watched him. "I guess there are bats in your
belfry, sure enough, Hugh," he said at
length. "You never offered to do your

In his saddle again, listened to the

"DO IOU ENOW TOU HA VENT SPOKEN FOll
TBE LONGEST WHILE? "
Baud, his eyes on Lisa, wbose small
gray form seemed to blend and become a part of the lithe gray sbe wus
riding.
He admired ber Immensely, this stepdaughter of bis nunt, and suddenly ID
seemed to htm thut mortal man could
ask for notblng better than Lisa for
a wife, and life tn this out ot tbe way
but aristocratic aud exclusive, self satisfied old town.
And Lisa was pretty. Not a girl he
bad ever known could compare with
her In beauty, not to mention a certain
rare grace of manner and au unusual,
dainty wit.
She bud money and lineage, too,
back of ber, and Setb Eckics was old
enough nnd wise enough to know tbe
value of sucb things.
"If silence Is golden," she Interrupted quizzically, "then your burden must
Indeed be heavy. Do you know you
haven't spoken lor tbe longest whileV"
"1 was—thinking." he stammered
guiltily, ashamed thnt anything so
sordid ns family nud money could for
an Instant have associated themselves
ln bis mind with the girl herself. It
was Lisa that be wanted.
"How late!" Lisa exclaimed with the
booming ot tbe sunset gun on tbe old
fort across tbe channel. "It you but
knew It, Setb. we're live miles from
home. Then there's dinner and dressing, nnd 1 can't under any circumstances allow n guest to disgrace hlm-
self by arriving tardily at a function
In his honor.   We've got to run for It."
She wheeled and led off. Setb following and beeping up lis best lie
could, but tiiiilnuiiteil by the distance
between them. Was there not the
dunce ut the clubhouse yet before tils
train at midnight? At any rate, It wns
a chance.
And Seth mnde the' best of It. The
long galleries were bowers of palms
and remote from the ballroom, nnd
tbere, with the tide pumiueiliig at tbe
pier and tossing up sheets of spray,
Seth told his story.
He was young and handsome and
adept, and be pleaded his case well-
so well that he and ,.lsn In the white
radiance of a big moon nnd wltb the
shimmer of wnter about them exchanged vows, iconvluced that ench
wns Intended for the other. That wns
tbe way life looked that night, but. of
course. It would be the seme a yenr
hence when I.lsn should be eighteen
and the engagement mnde public.
Then Seth. fresh from a Inw school,
estnbllshed himself In New York.
There was no tiresome, weary watting fnr clients. From the very first
luck field hln hand, nnd business troubles, growling like hyenas nt the doors
of even older men, from blm stood
aloof.
Besides, he hnd full menstiro of
amusements nnd plenstire. Friends he
mnde everywhere. His henrty lough
snd genial disposition kept him tn demand.
Life was so sntlsfnctory nnd success
so easy thnt he was nlrendy well spoiled before he met Laura Norton, who
was Llsn's exact opposite. Before he
knew It lie hnd forgotten his pledge to
Lisa and was formally engaged to
Laura, the engagement being speedily
followed by mn rrlnge.
For awhile there were hours pf
gloom wben he stood truly aghast at
What be had done. In every conceivable light and with all honesty he argued the matter, convincing himself!
finally that he had notblng to regret
Lisa was young and susceptible. Probably sbe wns already consoled.
In any case ii man's maturer judgment wns to he respected, no matter
nt what cost And. too, he greatly ad.
mired his wife, ber easy adaptability,
her cleverness, her accomplishments.
Besides, tbey were congenial. Her
ambitions fully equaled his, and het
penchant for politics was a factor ln
his career, pushing him Into places he
knew he could not have reached alone,
For a time honors seemed absolutely
heaped upon him. He could scarcely
keep step with fortune's pace, so fast
and furiously did Bhe mount But,
once started on- the ladder, be continued to climb, even long after his wife's,
death aud wben bis hair had grayed
and Lisa was but a misty dream. And
luck still beld bis hand.
He was ln the running for governor,
making, the press said, a phenomenal
campaign. Men spoke of htm as tbe
brilliant light, tbe strong man ot hla
time. Everywhere he was made much
df, and it was at a reception for him
tn the old clubhouse at the end of the
pier that a sleeping memory awoke.
Could It be possible tbat he was
awake? Only an hour ago It might
have been tbat be last saw the cool
green of the ballroom, tbe long bowers
of palms with lights twinkling among
the black green foliage, the surf beating at tbe pier and the white foam
dashing high. There was music, too,
just as on that other night, but Lisa,
shimmering In pale green, with the
string of pearls close to ber wblte
throat and nestling In ber yellow hair

"I claim the privilege of an old
friend." A musical voice spoke close
to his enr ns be leaned on the railing,
and some one touched bis arm.
It wns Lisa. He knew It before he
turned to see her tn pale, shimmering
green, with pearls at ber throat and In
the satne fair balr. Sbe smiled at blm,
too. in the old wny. with little dimples
about ber mouth and her sensitive lips
moving ever en slightly, though ber
fnce wns lu repose.
How pretty Rhe wns! Incomparably
prettier than that otber nlgbt and witli
a sweet, womanly dignity whlcb puzzled hlm. What bad come to ber to so
beautify beauty, to so Intensify loveliness?
He forgot the yen rs and deeds that
lay between that fnroff night and this,
like leaves.between the covers pf a
book, remembering only as It were the
preface tbat once sbe had loved blm.
tbat be still loved, her, the crown of
any man's life.
"Lisa!" be cried, his face aglow, his
bands extended,   "Lisa!"
"Dreaming!" she laughed. Then tbe
little band pulled at bis sleeve as tbe
otber reached toward two men In the
shadows. One of tbem was strong and
fine and one was young and handsome.
"I want you, Seth," she said, "to know
my son and my husband."
Not Entirely Undisputed.
The case before the court was one
Involving the ownership of a tract of
land, aud tbe attorney for one of the
parties to tbe suit was cross examining a witness. "Now, Mr. Urlmstaaw,"
he said, "the property on wbleb you

"Yes, sir."
"And your title Is based on tbe original title to that land, I presume?'
"Yes, sir."
"How long have you resided there?'
"Over twenty-oue years."
"Have you- hod—now. mark me—
have you hud twenty-one years' undisputed possession of tbnt property?"
Tbe witness hesitated a moment.
"Remember. Mr. Urlmshaw," said
the lawyer, ralslug his voice, "that you

one yenrs' undisputed possession ot
tbnt property?"
"It bas been disputed once, and only

THE FIRST EXCURSION.
Thomas Cook* Ran the Pioneer Event*
In 1841.
, Forty-eight years ago Thomas Cook
organized andi advertised the . first-
railway excursion in England. Cook
wa3 then a turner by trade and a
temperance organizer as a side line.
One hot summer day in the June of
1841, young Cook Bet out on a walk
which was to mark the turning-point;
in hie career. It was to Leicester,
where he was to be one ol the speakers at a great temperance demonstration. The distance was but fifteen.1'
miles—a mere nothing to such a
pedestrian as he was; but, as he
strode nlong, he read something which'
set him tanking deeply. It wos the-
newspapei report of the opening of
that portion of what was then known
as the Midland Counties Railway,
which conriected Leicester with Loughborough. ' "•,'. j "i.
Now, it had been arranged to. hoi*
another demonstration shortly at'
Loughborough, and all at once it
flashed into his mind, whnt a wonderful success it might be made it
the people could go by rail instead
of having to walk; hundreds then
might go, where dozens would hot
otherwise.
Full ol the idea, he explained it to
his audience that night. All were
struck; but, said some, "What obou*!
the cost? How many workingmen.-
could afford it?" "Lenve that to me,"
exclaimed Cook. "All of you who-
would like to go hold un your hands.
So large was the response that,
early the next morning, he betook
himsell to the office ol John Fox Bell,
the secretary of the railway company,
and unfolded his plain. Mr. Bell at
once fell in with the idea, and himself gove a contribution towards the-
preliminary expenses.
Within a few hours the arrangements were set forth in print, thus
making it the very earliest publicly
advertised excursion train.
On the 5th ol July, the excursion
duly started, numbering five hundred
and seventy passengers, amidst great
popular enthusiasm, a band ol musio-
accompanying them to the station,
whilst all Loughborough turned out-
to welcome them.

WORLD'S FINEST GEM
STORY  OF  THE   DISCOVERY  OF
THE CULLINAN DIAMOND.
EX-SHAH NOT WELCOME.
Man Who Found It Thought at First
That He Was Dreaming or That
Someone Had Played a Joke on
Him—Insured For Huge Sums
While In Transit—Four Detectlvei
Watched Cutting at Amsterdam.
The late acquisition of the two magnificent flawless diamonds of the purest blue white color, cut from the
great Cullinan crystal, establishes the
supremacy of the diamond collection
among the crown jewels of Great
Britain as the largest and most valuable in the world.
The history of this wonderful diamond is one of romance from the
evening of June 25, 1905, it waB flrst
seen glittering upon the side of the
deep excavation in the primier mine
in the Transvaal, down to its instalment in a new and living form among
the crown jewels on public view in
the Tower of London,
Mr. George Frederick Kuntz, in the
June Century magazine has dealt exhaustively with the Excelsior odd
Cullinan diamonds, but as the Excelsior has been, broken up into ten
splendid smaller jewels it has lost its
identity; and ns the Cullinan has
furnished the two largest diamonds
in existence weighing respectively
6161-2 and 300 3-16 carats, besides a
drop diamond of 9.2 carats, a square
brilliant of 6.2 carats, flve.other smaller stones, and 96 still smaller brilliants and 0 unpolished "ends," it
claims our special attention.
When Mr. Frederick Wells first
cnught sight oi the gleam in the earth
he climbed up after it, and- had a
good deal of difficulty in extricating
it. When I took a good look at the
stone stuck there in the side of the
pit it suddenly flashed across my
mind thnt I hnd gone insane—that the
whole thing was imaginary. I knew
it could not be a diamond. Some
practical joker had planted this huge
chunk of glass there for me to find."
Mr. Wells soon, however, convinced
himself of the genuineness of the stone
which when it was cleaned weighed
3.024 .'"-4 carats, and wos three times
the size of any" other diamond that
hod ever been discovered, ln the
course, of n few hours the news wns
telegraphed to oil ports of the world
that the greatest diamond of this or
any other age hod been brought to
light. The company rewarded Mr.
Wells with $10,000, ond the founder of
the company gave the diamond his
own name, Cullinan.
It is supposed to lie a fragment,
probably less than baby, of o crystal,
the other portions of which nre still
to be discovered; and gigantic as it
is. It represents in weight less thnn
half the daily output of the De Heers
mines, which average about 7.000
carats.
The owners, realizing the snf»ty ol
the British mail, sent the stone to
London as an ordinary registered
parcel, but insured it from risk in
transit for $1,250,000, On arrival it
was placed in the vaults of the Standard Bank of South Africa. The King
desired to see it, so when It was taken
to Buckingham Palace for an hour
or two, a special policy was made
out for $2,500,000 at n cost of $725.
"This is a great curiosity," said the
King, "but I should have knocked it
aside as a lump of glass if I hod seen
it in the rood."
After several suggestions as to the
disposal of it, the Transvaal Legislature decided to purchase it, and present it to King Edward VII. on his
sixty-six birthday as a testimonial of
the gratitude of the Transvnal for the
grant of automony accorded by the
English Government. $750,000 is said
to be the price agreed upon (hut it
is not definitely known), $300,000 ol
which was paid in ensh, snd the remainder was covered by the three-
fifths of the proceeds of the diamond
mines that is turned over to the
colonial Government.
On November 9, 1907, it was delivered to the King, who the same dny
communicated to the Government his
acceptance for himself and his successors, and added that "this great
and unique diamond shall be kept
and preserved among the historic
jewels which form the heirlooms ol
the crown."
Four detectives accompanied the
treasure to Amsterdam, January 23,
1908, where it took months to cut and
polish it. The cutting is expensive,
$40,000 was paid for the recuttiug of
the Kohinoor diamond ip 1852. The
expense of cutting the Cullinan stone
was met by the sale of some of the
minor (jems. The greatest and most
interesting precautions were tnl'e*> '
its safety in Amsterdam.
The two large stones have ""
named "The King Edwurd Diunio',. ,
and "The Queen Alexandra Diamond," and a court jeweler has been
setting some of the other larger diamonds so that on state occasions they
may be worn on the crown by Hie
Majesty, but at less formal events
they may be detached and worn by
the Queen as a necklace.
Romeo's Predicament.
During bis stage career, Forbes Robertson, like most other actors, has
been the victim of a number of awk.
ward misadventures. On one occasion he was playing "Romeo ond Ju
liet" with Modanie Modjeska. He was
seated on the steps of the tomb and
had commenced to apostrophize bis
lost love when he found to his borrot
that the steps, which were on castors,
were moving toward the footlights
"Vat is de matter?" nskod Modjeska.
"The steps nre moving nway," said
Mr. Robertson. "Then you will hove
to jump,' was the comforting response.   He jumped.

Persia's Deposed Ruler Cannot Live
In England.
The Marquese de Fonteroy tells the
following:
For tbe first time in many years
King Edward has found it necessary
to deny the hospitality of English
territory to a foreign sovereign, to
discover a precedent for whicli it is
necessary to go buca to 1815, when the
great Napoleon, after the battle of
Waterloo, begged to be allowed to
take up his residence in England,
sought refuge on un English warship
with that object iu view, was not allowed to land anu was shipped off to
St. Helena. The foreign monarch who
has now requested permission to establish his home in England is the
dethroned Shah of Persia, und I hear
that both Edward VII. and his ministerial advisers, have taken the ground
that aside from the inconveniences
of permitting u full-fledged oriental
establishment, hureiu anu oil, within
the borders of the United Kingdom,
the otter oi hospitality to the ex-shah
Would be misconstrued not alone in
Persia, but also in India, and, indeed,
throughout the Orient. Were the ex-
shah to live in England the Persian
people would always remain under
the impression thut at some future
period he would be brought bock to
Teheran and restored to power by the
British Government, and they would
in consequence thereof be disinclined
to accord their confidence to the present regime in Persia or to believe in
its stability.
Of other deposed sovereigns who
have sought refuge in England and
who have mode their homes there
while iu exile, one may mention Napoleon III. and his empress, who still
lives at Farnborough, hear Aldershot;
King Louis Philippe and Queen Marie
Anielie, King Charles X. and -Louis
XVIII., all pf France; the late King
Francis of Naples and his consort;
ex-King Milan ol Servia ond Queen
Natalie;, the consort of ex-King Miguel of Portugal, who is now lady abbess of the Benedictine Convent ot
Ryde, on the Isle of Wight; ex-King
Joseph Bonaparte of Spain, ex-Khedive Ismuii ol Egypt, the ex-King ol
the Punjab, the late Dhuleen Singh,
and Alfonso XII. of Spain prior to
his restoration in the early 70's. Indeed, Alfonso XII., went through a
course of military training at the
Royal Staff College at Sandhurst in
England.
Strange Hindu  Beliefs.
In India the traditions of folklore
nre numerous- and strange. ■- Among
those pertaining to the tiger the following ore the most peculiar: The
uneducated Hindu (and he is in the
great majority) believes that the ghost
of a man killed by n tiger rides on
the head of the benst that slew him to
worn him oi danger and to guide him
to new victims. It is declared that
God provides for the tiger's daily
wants to the amount of one rupee a
day; that *s to say, if the tiger kills
a calf worth six rupees he will not
be allowed another victim for five
days.
Eating the flesh of a tiger iB supposed to give one great courage and alertness, but the whiskers flrst must be
signed off the the beast, or his spirit
will haunt the man who fed off him
and he is likely to be turned into a
tiger in the next world.
The following incident reolly occurred in a small Indian village in the
interior: One of the villagers, was,
unfortunately, killed by a tiger. The
police investigated the accidental
death and rendered this verdict:
"Pandu died of a tiger eating him;
there was no cause of death. Nothing
was left of him save his bones and
some fingers, which probably belonged
to either the right or left hand."
New Cabinet Minister's Story.
The new Chancellor of the Duchy
of Lancaster, Mr. Herbert Samuel, is
a member of a well-known Jewish
family of bankers, and was born in
Liverpool. After a brilliant career at
Oxford, Mr. Samuel devoted himself
to politics, and twice contested South
Oxfordshire unsuccessfully. He is a
forcible speaker, avoiding the style of
oratory that marks the average election campaign, and of which he tells
un amusing story. "One night, us 1
arrived late to address a meeting, 1
sow a working man whom I knew
lounging at the doorway of the hull,
while from within came a continuous
and earnest bellowing. 'Do you know
who'B speaking?' I asked my friend.
'Or haven't you been in?'   'Oh, yes,
I've been in,' said he.   'Mr. A is
speaking.' 'What about?' 1 inquired.
My friend sighed and shook his head.
'He didn't Bay,' he answered." Mr.
8aniuel is only in his thirty-lourth
year, and so can claim to have made
a rapid success in the political arena.
Aviator Is Confident.
If Mr. W. Gibson of Victoria, B.C..
realizes his expectations witli respect
to the aeroplane he has invented,
then the Pacific Coast will be able
to claim the honor of having done
something very practical towards the
solution of the problem ol aerial navigation. Mr. Gibson's flying machine
is less thon a third the weight of the
Wright machine and develops 40 more
horse-power. The inventor offers to
bet that in a year he will fly from
Seattle to Vancouver in his machine.
Its weight is only 222 pounds, ond
the motor. develops 65 horse-power.
The feature of the Gibson aeroplane
is that it flies straight forward instead of sideways. While other aeroplanes present their widest side to the
front, it presents the narrowest.
A FAMOUS BELLE.
Countess of Cardigan Is Still Alert and
Fascinating, >
If one of the famous ladies of the
Regency or of the Empire had Stepped
out of tbe past to greet me I could
hardly hare been more impressed tban
when the Countess of Cardigan received me in her drawing-room and
told me some of her memories of the
past, about which she bad written a
book that will shortly be published.
And indeed Bhe was a belle and a
famous one, in the time of the Second Empire, and she was born only
just after the days of the Regency.
Nobody would believe it if they saw
her to-day. Her figure is slim and
upright, her face is scarcely lined,
her eyes are those of a young woman,
and see, you may be sure, aa much of
the amusing side of life as they have
ever done.
And when you hear her talk of the
scenes and the figures of the post, her
talk is so alert that it is difficult to
believe that she is speaking of the
time before Queen Victoria came to
the throne. She wore a dress of rose-
colored silk trimmed with old lace,
and round her neck some strings of
great pearls, and her dress became
her. You felt that the sombre clothes
of an old woman would not have suited her at all.
One of her earliest recollections is
of a children's ball at St. James' Palace which William IV! gave in honor
of the Princess Victoria, who was
then about thirteen. Ludy Cardigan—
Bhe was then Miss Adelaide de Horsey
—was only five and during the course
of the entertainment Bhe was missed,
but discovered eventually curled up
in the King's chair fast asleep.
She remembers, too, the preparations foi the great Eglinton Tournament, which wus to be a revival oi
mediaeval glories but was unfortunately spoilt by rain. Duvernay taught
her to dance—the famous Duveruay
who afterwards became Mrs. Lyne
Stephens, succeeded to the vast fortune of her husband, und died a very
old woman not so many years ago.
Early portraits of Lady Cardigan
show her as a very beautiful girl with
an expression of great vivacity. One
ol them was pointed about the time
she was engaged to the Count de
Montemolin, son of the first Don Car- )
los, claimant to the Spanish throne
and uncle of Don Carlos who died the
other day. "1 remember him ub an
infant," she told me, "with very black
eyes." The Count de Montemolin
was on a visit with his brother to
the Duke und Duchess of Nemours at
Orleans House, Twickenham, and fell
violently in love with the young English beauty. She still keeps his love
letters, and some of them are to be
reproduced in the book she is j preparing.
The Incompleat Anglers.
Mr. A. E. W. Mason, M.P. for Coventry, England, novelist, playwright,
and one-time actor, has made good
use of hiB electoral experience in his
new play, "Colonel Smith." This literary Parliamentarian confesses that
he writes very deliberately, usually
taking two years to the writing of one
book. There is, however, nothing of
the recluse about Mr. Mason, for he
spends all his spare time in the open
air, und is an enthusiastic yachtsman
and mountaineer. In the sailing expeditions which he often makes on
the West Coast of Scotland, he is
sometimes accompanied by Mr. Andrew Lang, who is no less devoted
to out-door sport. A friend of both
writers tells how he once called at a
little inn and asked the landlady
what kind of people usually came
there. "Oh, often literary people,"
she declared with pride. "Sometimes

They come for the fishing." "And
do they catch much?" inquired the
interested friend. "Well, no sir," admitted the landlady, "they never
catches anything; but, there sir, they
fishes beautifully."

FATE OF PERPETUAL CLOCK.
James Cox's Ingenious Machine May
Now Be In China.
In the eighteenth century an ingenious jeweler named James Cox, of
Shoe Lane, London, constructed a
clock which was rendered perpetuAl
by a cleverly contrived attachment
which utilized the rise and full of tile
barometer to supply the necessary
energy.
The movement of the mercury actuated a cog wheel in such a mannel
that whether the mercury rose or
fell the wheel alwoys revolved in the
some direction and kept the weights
that supplied the movement of the
clock always wound up. The barometer bulb dipped into, a mercury cis-
tern. The cistern hung attached to
the extremities ot two rockers, to the
left end of one and the right end of
the other.
The bulb was similarly attached to
the other extremities of the rockers,
which are thus moved every time
there is a change in tbe amount of
mercury in bulb and cistern, respectively. The rockers actuated a vertical
ratchet, and the teeth were so arranged that the wheel they controlled
could only move in one direction, whether the ratchet ascended and descended.
The clock itself, was an ordinary
one, but of very strdng and superior
workmanship, and wss jeweled with
diamonds at every bearing, the
whole being enclosed in a glass case
which, while it excluded dust, displayed the entire mechanism. The.fate ol
Cox's clock was brought to light in o
work called "Travels in China," published in 1804 and written by John
Barrow. ,  ,     .    ,
In this book it is stated that in the
list of presents carried by "the late
Dutch Ambassador" were "two grand
pieces of machinery that were part
of the curious musesu of Cox." One
of these apparently was the perpetual
clock, ahd it was taken by the Dutch
Ambassador to China, where in the
journey from Canton to Pekin both
the instruments suffered some slight,
damage. Efforts were made to repair
at Pekin, but on leaving the capital it
discovered   that   the   Chinese

Trader's First Deal.
The chiei characteristic, as a child,
of Mr. A. W. Gamage, who presided
at the general meeting of the well-
known firm bearing his name, wus a
well-developed instinct for making
money, ana before he was seven years
of age he had corried through two
business "deals." There was a considerable difference between these
transactions, the first being of a pastoral, the second of a money-lending
nature. At the time the boy's great
desire was to obtain a certain watch
he admired in a Hereford jeweler's
window, and, having saved some fifteen shillings out of pocket money,
he persuaded his father to sell him a
lamb for the amount, his intentions,
of course, being to purchuse the watch
out of the profit he expected to realize on the lamb when it became a
sheep. Alas; a dog entered the fold,
und the ewe lamb, greatly frightened,
strangled itself between the bars of a
hurdle. The future merchant prince
wos now reduced to four shillings, snd
the watch seemed further off than
ever, but hio father came to the rescue
and sold, or rather gave, his son another lamb for four shillings. This
one safely reached maturity, and
brought to its owner thirty shillings.
The youthful speculator did not, however, buy the watch then as he could
not bring himself to port with the
gold, and, in the second place, he
shortly afterwards found another use
for it.

WANTS TALK TO STOP.
Lord Charles  Beresford Would  End
Party Controversy.
Lord Charles Beresford has been
the guest of tile London Chamber of
Commerce at a complimentary dinner
at the Hotel Cecil. Mr. Stanley Mo-
chin, chairman of the Council of the I
Chamber, presided, and among those
present were Lord Brassey, Admiral
Sir E. Frenmntle, Sir Cyprian Bridge,
Rear-Admiral Field, Lieutenant Carlton Bellairs, Sir F. Flonnery, Lieutenant-General Sir J. W. Laurie.
Lord Charles Beresford, who was
enthusiastically received, Baid his
suggestions at the meeting which he
addressed a fortnight ago had received
a great deal of criticism, much of it
quite fair, some of it most unfair.
He wished it to be understood that
he would have nothing whatever to
do with party politics with regard to
the navy. His statement as to the
deficiency of the 'fleet, as organized
for war, he submitted to the Prime
Minister. It was not a party manoeuvre; he wished to help the man at
the helm to steer the ship of State,
and not to throwvlifflculties in his
way. The Prime Minister thought the
statement so serious that he ordered
an inquiry. He (Lord Charles) never
asked for the inquiry; it was not his
husiness to do so. Throughout the
whole period his line had been Imperial and national, and that line he
intended to take in the future.
He adhered to every word he said
at the meeting in the city on June
30, and he intended to make no excuse for that speech. The four contingent battleships should be laid
down this year, because we should be
in arrear in our shipbuilding vote, snd
if we did ; not lay them down we
should be in Ihe position, in the event
of a great triple alliance, of not being
able to make u new program, as the
yards would be full of ships of the
old program.
The next important point won to
get their plant ready. We could hot
turn out more than seven ships'with
gun-mountings yearly, whereas Germany was able to turn out ten. This
waa a serious point, and we ought to
begin to increase our plant next week,
so as to he ready for any demand and
to make ourselves absolutely secure.
If the competition in armaments continued, we should have to begin a new
program altogether in 1913. The arrears Of shipbuilding and false economy from which we were now suffer-
ing meant thut for every $500 saved
we should have to pay $2,500 or more
to get things back tb where they were,
and in case of a panic something like
$5,000. '.-'■'
He wished all party controversy on
the navy would cease, and that all
would take a broad und Imperial view
of the situation, devoting their attention to the common end of making
the naval defence of this country adequate and strong.   (Loud cheers.)

Founder of Upper Canada After <
Hard Struggle In the Wilderncssei
of North America Went Home to
Rest and Built Wolford Lodge-
Many Relics of the Pioneer Still
Exist In the Historic Old Manor.
High among the hills surrounding
Honiton, the little country town which
is famed far and wide aa the Centre
of the lace-making industry of Devon,
stands Wolford Lodge, the pleasant
English home where Gen. Simcoe,
the founder of Upper Canada, apenl'
the last few years of his eventful life.
Weakened by the wounds and hardships endured in the disheartening
campaigns of the American revolutionary war, and worn with his anxious toil for the benefit of the new
ttriusu province wliich it haa bien
given to him to organize in the wilderness, he went back to England in
IVMi to seek well-earned repose. But
rest was not for him. Almost immediately he was Bent back, across the
Atlantic to put down an insurrection
in the West Indies. Returning again
to his native land, he began, about
the year 1800, to build himself a spacious mansion on a green slope deep
amongst the gently-rounded, well-cultivated hills of lovely Devon. Surely
na toil-worn warrior ever found a
more restful spot in which to spend
the evening of his days, for still, despite vastly increased population, despite railways and motor-cars, the
whole land speaks ol peace.
The lodge was built in solid fashion
by the general round an old farmhouse," which was1 on the estate when
he bought it. Except for the addition of some large bow-windows, the
house has been little altered from tin
original design, nnd much of the old
furniture remains, in its spacious
rooms. So large are they that an
ancient four-post bedstead appears a
comparatively small piece of furniture, and the general's own bedroom
is larger than many a village church.
In the different rooms numerous
relics connected with him have been
carefully preserved,
' On either side of the staircase
window, in the square entrance hall;
are two venerable flags, the colors of
the "Queen's Rangers," a provincial
.corps of Loyalists, which 'waB raised
by Simcoe and did gallant service
during the revolutionary war. This
corps was as notable for strict discipline as for dash and courage,
which, unfortunately, is more th "ii
can be said for some other Loyalist
troops, and doubtless Simcoe's successful organization of the "Rangers"
was the reason for his btdng asked to
undertake the more difficult and important task of organizing a new
government.
He threw himself into the work
with an energy and self-abnegation
whicli has won for him a place
amongst the heroes of our \history,
and has sent many a Canadian on
pilgrimage to his home in Devon, that
beautiful county which has so long
a roll of "worthies" connected with
the exploration of the western world.
By birth, however, Gen. Simcoe was
not ii Devonian. He was born st Cot-
teratock in Northamptonshire, but on
the death of his father (one of Wolfe's
gallant officers who died in Canada
during the campaign against Quebaci,
he and his only brother, who was
soon afterwards drowned in the Exo,
were brought by their mother to Exe-
ter to begin their education at thi
free grammar school of that ancient
cathedral city.
In the hell ai Wolford, opposite thi
colors of the "Rangers," is a portrait
of Simcoe as a youne man, standing
with two friends b-si-'c the massive
tombstone of a dMi'irted ccmrnde;'
nnd in the drawing-room hangs the
miniature of the general token in lot-
er life, reproductions of which have
made familiar to Canadians the features ol tho first governor of Upper
Canada. There is a companion miniature of his wife as a young and pretty woman, wearing a variety of tho
quaint Welsh head-dress of closely-
plait'd cup, siirmoqnt"d by a hat;
but in this case the hat is blue in-
stead of black, and the crown is lower
than thot ordinarily associated with
the women of the principality. Mrs.
Simcoe was the daughter and heiress
of a gentleman of Hereford, who wos
descended from the ancient Kings of
Wales, und family traditions describe
her i'.s a woman of high character and
rather severe temper, After her husband's death she reigned at Wolford
Lodg1 for four und forty years. She
hnd nine children, of whom seven
were girls; and the story goes that to
tile last she would never allow her
daughters to sit down in her presence  without special  permission.
Nowadays a set of bookshelves
across the end fnr'host from the large
triple-windowed hay fives o hint of
its original purpose. Above the bookcase lumps a long piece of carved teak-
wood from the luckless "Royal
George." whicli. whil» being repaired,

When Herbert Muxoti climbed out of

Thai he had never seen Ills mint or

a wholesome belief III the kindness of
human nature In general and showed
ll so fi'utikly. luut people lururiably
turned their best side toward this
sunny faced lad of len.
His uncle came hurrying down the
box trimmed path to inept hlm.
"I'm glnd to see ye. real glad," he
declared warmly. "I'd 'a' come myself 'sieud nf sendln' Lucas, but I've
hud the rheiimuilz considerable lately."
The boy paused a second at the doorstep to remark on the beauty of two
full lenved and fruited apple trees
which grew nlmost at the threshold,
one at each side.   Rut to his surprise

tola uncle scowled slightly and hurried
blm Into tbe house.
Only tbe cheery voice of the Are
welcomed blm. Herbert turned que*-
tlonlngly to his uncle:
"Aunt—Is she welll"
Jonas Alwyn showed a momentary
-.   confusion    before   the   boy's   blear
(lance;   Tben be sold hastily:
"Well? Oh, yes. But she ain't to
home Jest now—won't be fer several
•Jajri."     )
Time sped swiftly, there was bo
much to see and to do. True, his uncle's disposition varied from extreme
cheerluess to fits of moody.abstraction.
He proved to be so skillful a cook tbat
be filled his nephew with wonder.
"I'll bet aunt's pancakes don't beat
yours." be remarked one morning, his
month full of light cakes and sirup,
making the compliment a trifle Indistinct     '
Jonaa started, tben pushed away his
coffee as though something had affected his appetite.
"They*re a sight better," he arid so
gloomily that Herbert laughed outright.
"I didn't think you'd be sensitive on
tbe subject, uncle. Wben Bhe comes
I'll tell her what you said. Hnve yuu
beard from ber lately?"
rNot ter say lately."
"Mother thought she was bere wben
fou wrote," went on Herbert
His uncle rose excitedly.
••Ye don't mean It." be declared
vehemently. "No: ye don't mean It,
'cause ye don't know nnwthin' nbout
It. But she ain't set foot In this bouse
fer eight yenrs come next Nwfiiber."
Herbert toff, fnilc lo nls turn.
"I'm sorry." he faltered. "I never
kaew-motlier dtnic': know-thut anything hud-gone wrong."
"Everything'* gone wrong." said his
unci" miserably. Suddenly he clutched,
bis neppw and hurried hlm tiff the door,
then down In the pathway, where he
faced hlm nbout before the two fruit
trees.
•This one." snid his uncle, waving
his right bond lnnch^w If he were Introducing ii duchess. "Is Miranda

"Wh"»nshe wentawoy I nuMedthem

the pink cheekedest an' softest eyed

"I named that tree Miranda Sour,"'
the old nniu went ou doggedly, "ter
'mind me how set on' contrary your
aunt kin be wheu .she's a inclination
that u-way! That tree has got all of
Miranda's uggruvatinest wuys—the
very way them leaves dirt at ye is jest
peractlv like the fling Miranda could
give tbyjMi skirts of hern wheu she was
swishln' pasl ye au 'wouldn't listen ter

Herbert hit Miranda Sour a sharp
blow witb a stick.
"1 wish a worm would gnaw you.
wish   a   hurricane   would   blow  you
down."
"Nn slch hick." suld Jonas In tones
which expressed a certain mournful
pride In his forecast lug. "No sich
luck. She'll keep on n-growiu'. an'
Miranda au' me will keep on glttin'
furder an' furder apart."
Herbert looked round furtively, tben
sidled up to his uncle.
"Cut her flown'..'' Jie whispered, one
eye on Miranda Sour to see If she overheard.
"Cut her down!" exclaimed Jonas angrily. "Cut down tin apple tree er, cost
me all that trouble! By gtiui, I'll do
nnwthin' of the kind! It's nil yer
aunt's fault that them trees Is there,
on' there they kin stay fer me."
Preoccupied himself. Jonas never detected tbe purpose throbbing In Herbert's whole being nor oven observed
the guilty glance thnt his nephew stole
at him when the boy asked with assumed calm if be might go fishing Instead nf uccompunylug Jonas tu mill.
"Jest as ye like." sold his uncle,
somewhat surprised. "Ain't no good
flshln' round here, but I s'pose throw-
In' the Hue In the wnter '11 satisfy ye."
Herbert waited until his uncle had
been gone a full half hour; Then he
flew around to the wood pile and seized the ax. his heart throbbing to suffocation. He hurried bnck tn the front
yard, glancing right and left. There
was no one lu sight. He looked nt
Miranda Sour, the representative of
"the ungodly." Yes. it was no foncy-
her leaves rustled an Insolent Challenge. He sprang to her side and sunk
his ax deeply In her new smooth hurk.
After that the blows fell fast and
furiously, ln less tban fifteen minutes-she lay quivering and sighing at
the foot of Miranda Sweet.
With desperate strength be dragged
the fallen one around to the boek yard.
Hometlmes in cold terror over his deed,
sometimes ttMpb the same exultation
that Achilles felt In driving around the
walls of Troy, The funeral pyre of
Miranda Sour was no easy work, for
the day was hot and the limbs full of
sap, hilt at last, nothing was left of
ber save a few blackened pieces not to
be distinguished as parts of an apple
tree. Then a tired but determined
boy put old Dobbin In the ancient buggy and drove up the rood nt a rate that
threatened an Immediate smnshtip.
It was It o'clock when Jonns returned. He wns dusty, tired nnd hungry.
Then as he opened tbe gate he rubbed
bis eyes—it could only be n vision!
But certainly the vision bnd warm
arms. Tbey clasped blm around tbe
neck, and a face still good to look on
was upturned to his own, and the old.
beloved voice cried out:
"Kiss me, Jonas-right here.' right
now!"
"Miranda!" he gasped, ond then
brokenly, "Thank God, ob, tbuul.-
God!"
"Yes. thank hlm." faltered Miranda,
tears failing now. "An' hla Instrument won that blessed boy! Oh. Jonas,
he told me how you misspd me nn'
how you kept that beautiful apple
tree In front of the door to remember
me by!"
Hot shame and fear flooded Jonas
He glanced at the house and felt like
rubbing Ids eyes again, for of Miranda
Sour not even a stump was left, wblle
In sweet and placid humility, comforted wltb mnny apples and tremulous
with bints of years nf happiness. Miranda Sweet shaded the doorway lovingly.

New   Provision   In, Australia   That
Helps Out the Women.
Many women of reflnemerit admit
that their greatest objection to the
franchiae—if they hnve any objection
—lies in the fuct thut to record t,!\p,ir.
votes they have to share the pulilkity
of ii possibly boisterous electoral
booth, .and run the gauntlet of mixing
with the noisy rabble of an election-
day crowd. "If the electoral franchise could be ridden of all the objec.
tionuble feutures which suggest mas-
culinity (und the public booth necessarily .entails some of these features),
we would advocate the rights of women much more heurtily." Thus a
woman writes recently on the subject.
ln certain parts of Australia,, where
adult franchise hns been in force fot
some years, and where woman has an
equal shnre with mun in th? election
of representatives to attend the Legislature, they have overcome this
grent difficulty, namely, the manner of
recording tho ballot. They have provided that women mny vote by me.il
from their own homes or at a Government office before the regular election days. Thi? provision originally
was made in the electoral law of
Queensland, the northernmost state of
Australia—when woman suffrage first
wus grunted by the state—as a means
of enabling women who lived at great
distances from polling stations to record their votes; also to be tnken advantage of bv wnrncn who were ill nnd
could not travel.
• In Australia, the country of ftreot
distonces, there are isolated forms
and ranches (known us "runs,") for
the convenience of which it,would be
impossible to establish separate polling booths,- with presiding officers and
the rest, and so, in order not to exclude women living in such plncss
from the privileges of the franchise,
this emergency provision wns insert-
■d in !'-.•> nl-ytori! lnw of Q'-eenslnnd.
The provision worked so well thnt the
state of Queensland later decided to
make the clause apply to women generally throughout the. country, and
now, .instead of having to dress and
go out. rain or Rhine, and mix with
the excited crowds oh election day,
the women of the cities, as well its
those of the rural places, mny record
their votes in privacy.
The system has been found to-work
so well that it pf*bob!v will be Hooted by the Federal Government
throughout Australia. At present it
op-rates only in connection with sone
state elections, but th«re is a promi'i-
int agitation to have the same system
adopted for the federal elections. Tn
fact, the federal Prime Minister bus
agreed tn insert the necessary provision in the electoral act to be amended at the next session of Parliament.
Fifty Out ef 10,000 Girls.
Nine thousand nine hundred end
nfty girls out of every ten thousand
are sacrificed to our method of education, according to Katharine Eggles-
ton in Woman's Home Companion for
July. Out of eveiy ten thousand girls
who enter our primary schools only
fifty go to college, yet every one of the
ten thousand is prepared for college.
The nine thousand nine hundred nnd
fifty who will be wage-earners and
home-makers are entirely neglected.
For example, says Miss Eggleston;
"Helen's school has not made work
popular, so to-dny Helen has several
ideas firmly implanted in her brain.
First, education offers o sure escape
from domestic work, which is of nil
work the most mental. Second, the
woman who has on income of her own
is more, independent thon the woman
who makes a home for a man who pro-
vides the income, therefore she is to
be emulated. Third, the simplest
method of acquiring one's own income
is to seek work in the commercial or
industrial world.
* Sun Cooking. .
Sun cooking —roasting ond boiling
by sunlight instead of coal or gas-
has been going on for 300 years. There
are sun stoves that roast a sirloin
or boil a soup to perfection. They
are only used, however, by scientists.
A sun stove consists mainly ol a
mirror, a spherical mirror, on a joint.
There is also a reflector. The pluce
for pot or plate is so situated that the
mirror's rays can be focused on it
accurately.
A German, Boron Tchernhnnsen,
wos the first sun cook. He began in
1697 to boil water, and in 1699 he had
very good succesB in boiling eggs.
Sir John Herschel nnd Buffon nre other famous names associated with sun-
cooking.
In California various sun cooks
hnve boiled a gallon of water in twenty minutes, roneted meat in two hours,
and poached eggR in fifteen minutes—
quite as good time aa the ordinary
fire makes,    (
Butter and Bacon.
The Bennett boys enjoyed camping.
Their people were glad to have them
outdoors, but were sadly puzzled
to know how three boys managed to
eat such amazing quantities of butter
—much more, indeed, than the entire
Bennett family consumed at home. At
the first opportunity puzzled Mrs.
Bennett inquired into the mutter.
"Boy's" asked she, "how in the
world did you manage to use six
pounds of butter on only four loaves
oi breadP"
"It's the cooking," explained Frank.
"It takes such u heap of butter to fry
the bacon."
Possible Complication.
"Pawl"
"Well, Tommy."
"Do you believe there's people
living on Mars?"
"t see no reason to doubt it."
"Well, wouldn't it be a good joke
on 'em if they should find out after
we get to talking to 'em thnt they
don't know that's the name of their
planet?''

BARGAINS OF LIFE!.
So Long as We Live We Will Never
Stop Trading.
Four children are huddled in a tiny
room in a tenement. An aged woman
painfully climbs the stairs and enters.
Her tired face lights with a smile ss
she places a bundle of groceries on a
table. She has toiled all night at
j cleaning the floors of an office building, "Grandma," the children call her.
Her duys of toil had, seemingly, ended years before. , She settled down,
then, to end her life in rest ond peace.
But her son died; then her daughter-
in-law died. And to keep the children together she got work. We
thoughtlessly call this a sacrifice. We
think it is giving "something for nothing. Oh, no, the old lady is smiling.
She iuude a bargain. She'toiled to, win

smile.

scholarly contemplation. He might
have had fame, wealth, a beautiful
home. But he traded them all off for
what he wanted most.
See this millionaire. Worry beBets
him; he does not sleep well; he distrusts etery man. He traded peace
and quiet and contentment for millions. Money was whut he wanted.
And this is life—bargains. We barter this for that; trade what we Want
less for what we want more. Look at
yourself at any moment in your life—
now, for instance. Everything you
have got by this bartering; everything
you hove not, you have traded away.
"I'm a poor man," perhaps you say.
Ves, but, you're something more than
that. Maybe you're lazy; maybe you
drink; maybe you hote to save; maybe self-control is unpleasant to you;
maybe you wanted a little home and
children; maybe you saw that you
could buy happiness for yourself by
giving your money to others—there
are 10,000 moybes. But you may TO
sure that you got what you wanted.
You made your bargain. You didn't
sacrifice anything.
You can see, then, when the big
thing, the right things, in this world
is wanting, ideals should be set high.
You will get what you really want.
You can't help it. You're paying out
something all the time. Be sure you
will be getting something back. You
can't stop trading in this market for
life. Don't be cheated. Choose and
Pay. ,	
Bloodhoundi on the Trail.
, Major Richardson, of' bloodhound-
keeping fame, relates that during a recent visit to Germany Bome wonderful
tales of the tracking powers of the
Brunswick dogs were told to him.
In the case of a girl murdered in
a farmhouse the dog was taken to the
room where the crime took piece. After it had scented about the bloodstained floor the farm.hands were paraded. The dog rushed at one of them,
growling savagely. The man was arrested, and on being examined hia
clothes were found to be stained witli
a spot of blood.   He then confessed.
"Another case I. found to be true,"
continues the major, "was the innocence of a man being proved by a
ed suspicious.a man was arrested,
and as certain circumstances appeared suspicious, a man was arrested,
The dog, on-being taken to the girl's
room, took up her trail and showed
where she had walked down to the
river. Her footsteps were single all
the way, and this was taken as conclusive that it waB a caBe of suicide,
not murder. No other incriminating
evidence having arUen, the man was
released, and afterwords a letter Was
found written by the girl announcing
her intention to commit suicide."

j DEATH OF "SURFACEMAN"
I GREAT LOSS.
IS A
A Non-Committal "Character."
A contractor took, to oblige a
friend, recently a sort of "odd man"
into his employ, about os shiftless snd
worthless a so-called laborer. Bays he,
as ever he oame across. In due
course the employer, his patience exhausted, called the newcomer into his
office and told him to look for another
job. "Will you give me a recommendation?" asked the man, piteoUBly.
Although he felt that he could not
conscientiously comply with this request, his heart was touched by the
appeal. So he sot down to his desk to
write a non-committal letter of character for the fellow. His effort resulted as follows: "The bearer of this
has worked for me one week, and 1
am satisfied."
It did not help the shiftless one
much.
Ibsen's Table Companions.
Upon Ibsen's writing table a visitor
saw a small tray containing a number of groteBque figures — a wooden

(one of them plajmg a fiddle) and
Bome rabbits. Ibsen said: "I never
write a single line of any of my dramas without having that tray and its
occupanVs before me on my table. 1
could not write without them. But
why I use them is my own Becret."
Why He Was Big.
A very tall and muscular man went
through the office and out.
"Fine physique," remarked a visitor.  "Pritsefighter, is he?"
"No," was the answer. "That's the

so 'they con lick the engrover and
make him do things over when he hasn't done them to our liking."

The Late Alexander Anderson Was
One of the Sweetest of the Humble
Bards for Whom Scotland Is Famous—Was Born In Kirkconnel In
Galloway and Was a-Rhymer From
His Earliest Years.
Scottish literature is sensibly the
poorer by the death of Alexander Anderson, tne poet, better known as "Surfaceman." In Canada, as in other
parts of the world, there are Scotsmen, aye, and Scotswomen, too, who
will hear ot his passing with a sense
of domestic loss, iior muny's the home
that has been cheered and softened'
snd uplifted by tlio recital or memory
of "Cuddle Doon," which has been
well described us one of the finest
gems of the Scottish muse. There is
u simplicity and tenderness in ita
lines, a humor und pathos, an expression of solicitude almost maternal in
its fondness thut have made the poem
a household classic. And yet the author of this wonderful interpretation
of the joys and - pangs that accompany the putting of'the "bairnies"
to the bad was a bachelor, all his days!
LATH ALEXANDER ANDERSON.
"Cuddle Doon" is in itself sufficient
to preserve the tnemory of "Surfaceman," though the two or three volumes that came from his pen contain
much worthy of a place in any Scottish anthology. Like most Scottish
pn-'ts, •*■ nder^nn '"ns p. true son of the
soil. Bom in the picturesque little
village of Kirkconnel, in Galloway, a
filoce shrined in ballad lore, he be'
onged to a race which hos produced
many poets and litterateurs. At school
he developed en aptitude for sketching in colors that made him somewhat
of a hero among his fellows, but,
whatever may have been his possibilities as an artist, it was to poetry
that his juvenile fancy turned. He
"lisped in numbers, for the numbers
came," although, as he confessed in
later years, there was neither inspiration nor profit in those early effusions.
His first effort to emulate Burns, he
used to say, had for its theme the
ludicrouB incident of a man being hit
by a snowball, and then followed an
accumulation of doggerel that in days
of discretion furnished material for a
respectable bonfire. It was not until
he had reached manhood that his gift
found anything like true expression,
and it was grief over the death of a
brother that touched his lyre and
caused him to seek comfort in on
ode, "To One in Eternity." Employed
os a quarryman, he found leisure to
study, and with a mind attuned to
higher things he set about cultivating
a knowledge of languages so that he
might the better appreciate the joys
of literature. First it was French that
he mastered with the aid of a cheap
grammar; then German, then Italian,
ahd it was not long before this working quarryman was able, os he him-
Belf expressed it, "to appreciate in my
own way, in their own tongue, the
mighty voices of Goethe, Schiller nnd
Dante."
The publication in The People's
Friend," a miscellany thot has done
much to stimulate a love of healthy
literature among the masses in Scotland, of a poem on John Keats attracted sufficient attention to induce
Anderson to become a regular contributor, and the appearance of his first
volume in 1873, with the title "A Song
of Labor and Other Poems," set the
seal upon his already growing reputation. In the interval between his
brother's death and the publication
of his poems Anderson had left the
quarry and become a surfaceman or
track-layer on the railway, hence his
adoption oi o nom-dc-plume which he
never discarded. The muse had found
lodgment amid many unromantic surroundings in Scotland,- but this wns
the first time that it had been known
to find inspiration in the prosaic, mechanical life of n railway, ond consequently "A Song of Labor and Other
Poeihs" iwas hailed with no ordinary interest.
While "A 8ong bf Labor ond Other
Poems" won for "Surfaceman" a
prominent plnce among the bards of
his native land, his second volume,
containing "Cuddle Doon," "Jenny
Wi' the Aim Teeth," and "Jamie's
Wee Chair," brought him more e---
tended fame. The homely humor of
Scottish domestic life appealed to him,
but blended with it wus the tenderness
of a heart which wns keenly sensitive-
to thp sorrows and hnrdshins of the
cottage homes. Perhaps it wo* this
combination of humor ond natho's thnt
gave to his verse its chief charm.

Many a mother's heart has been

the ears. Manv salves were prescribed

a moss of scahs and he suffered agony
untold. He became weak and frail

"Providentially we heard of Dr.
Chase's Ointment nnd it soon thoroughly cured him. He is seven years

Ointment and we hope more people
will learn about it so that their poor

Queer English Verses In Honor of the
Late Lamented.  .
At Elgin-Cathedral may be seen on
a tombstone tbe following quaint epitaph. The date on.the'stone Is September 28. 1687.
WILLIAM OLMER.
The world is u Citie full of Streets,
And Death is tbe Merchant that all
men meets;
If lyte were a thing that Monie could
buy,
The Poor could not live and the Rich
would not die.
On a tombstone in the "Burrying
Ground" at St. Peter's, Isle of Thanet,
mt.y be read this epitaph:
ruicmiun Hero, famed for strength,
At  lust lies here, his   breadth   and
length,.
See how t|k Mighty Man hath fall'n;
To Death the Strong and Weak are all
oue.
And tne same Judgment doth befall
Goliath Great as David Small.
In another "burrying ground" in an
Englisii hamlet may be seen the following inscription on the headstone
of a watchmaker:
Here lies one who
Strove to equal time;
A lask too hard,
Eucn power too sublime.
Time stopped his motion,
Overthrew his balance wheel,
Wore olf his pivots, though
Mode ol hardened steel;
Broke all his springs,
The verge of life decoyed,
' And now he is as though
He'd never been made;
NotMor the want of oiling.
That he tried;
If that had done for him
Why, then he ne'er had died.
In a Devonshire churchyard may be
seen the following on a very aged aud
weather-beaten headstone:
The horse bit the Parson;
How came it to pass?
The horse heard the Parson say
"All flesh is grass."
In a Woolwich churchyard may be
seen on a gravestone:
As 1 am now, so you will be;
Therefore, prepare to follow me.
And some busybody, with a sharp
knife-blade, added the following humorous couplet:
To lollow you I'm not content
Dmess 1 know which way you went.

Ceylon the Gorgeous.
Despite the fact that the enterprise
and persistence oi the planters of Ceylon, iu advertising the virtues of one
of its products, tea, hove familiarized
people with the name of the island, iu
the praise of which, from time immemorial, the poets of the Orient—
and, iu later duys, those of the Occident—have exhausted the superlatives
to be lound in any tongue in extravagant laudutiou of its marvelous beauty, its gorgeous color, its soft ciime,
its wondrous gems, and, in short, its
possession of all the features snd
characteristics of a puruaise on earth,
how uiuuy oi us know anything uf it,
und of its history? Most probable the
average person has a hazy notion thut,
like liorneo, Formosa und other islands ol "the dim and mysterious
east," it's u place inhabited by barbarians, ot semi-barbarians, overrun
with dense and tangled tropical
growths, in which lurk all sorts of
dangerous wild animals and deadly
reptiles, its savage state only partly
redeemed by the presence of a few
adventurous exponents of western civilization, who are risking health, and
even life itself, to snatch hardly guin-
ed riches from a virgin soil.
Poacher Corrects Duke.
Entering the army as far back as
1837, the Duke of Grafton, who recently attained his eighty-eighth year, bus
seen a good deal of hard fighting. In
the Crimea, serving with the Cold-
streams, he wus badly wounded nt
Inkermun, when a bullet entered his
jaw and passed out through his neck.
While acting as o county magistrate
the duke hod an amusing experience
some years ago. A particularly daring
poacher, who had been caught witli no
fewer than one hundred rabbits iu
his possession, wus brought before
him. "You are fined five guineas and
sixteen shillings costs." said the duke
in his severest tones. "You'll pur-
don me," replied the culprit, "but
I'm not. You enn't make me pay
more than five pounds all told. You

was found to be right, and he pnid

fttmarkable Story of Mr. Tom Price
of South Australia.
One of the most remarkable careers
<)f modern times closed with the death
of Mr. Tom Price, Premier of South
Australia. Many years ago, in the
humble position of stonemason, he
helped to build the Parliament
House; afterwards he sat in that very
House as Prime Minister. He was a
Welshman, born at Brymbo, in Denbighshire. His father was a working
builder, and he himself was taught
the stonemason's trade in Liverpool.
When only twelve years of age he
Baved 6d. a week,in order to buy a
second-hand coat at a pawnbroker's
shop, so that he could attend the
Sunday school. When he did attend
other hoys made fun of him because
the sleeves were too long. He dealt
with them summarily. "The boys,"
he related, "produced a bigger boy to
flatten me out. I finished him." He
attended the same Sunday school for
many years, and eventually became
superintendent. Then he married
"the prettiest girl in that school,"
and with her emigrated in 1881, on
account of alarming symptoms of lung
trouble, to Sydney, moving to Adelaide a few years later.
At Adelaide Tom Price helped, as
a mason, to build the Parliament
House, in which he sat since 1905 as
Prime Minister. His success in life
was due entirely to his gifts of self-
reliance and perseverance. "After I
arrived in Adelaide," he said, "I
immediately got work with the leading contractor there, I was with him
seven years. Soon after I left him' I
became Clerk of Works for the Government, which wss at that time
erecting some big works at u place
called Islington, close to Adelaide. I
was asked by the Labor party to become a candidate for one of the biggest electoral districts of the State.
I was returned (this was in 1893),
beating the old member for the district by one vote. Four years after
that 1 became leader of the Parlia-,
memory Labor party. When the
States of Australia federated I stood
for a seat in the House of Representatives, but was beaten by just a few
votes after polling 28,000. In the
yenr 1905 I challenged the Govern-
ment-as leade/ of the Opposition-
carried a non-confidence motion, was
sent for by the governor to form a
ministry, and succeeded in doing so."
There was no pride in him. "I was
Tom Price," he said, "when I went
to school. I was Tom Price as superintendent. I was Tom Price as stonemason, and I am Tom Price as Premier to-day." As in the past, bo for
many generations in the future, the
achievements of Tom Price, the Welsh
stonemason, will be rightly held up
as u great example of what sterling
merit may attain. But if the moral
be truly pointed, it must be remembered that in Tom Price'B case the
reward was not great riches or sell-
aggrandizement, but rather great opportunities for public service. "I am
as poor as Job, he told a friend. "I
have to-day nothing in the shape of
wealth, but I have written my name
on Acts of Parliaments of my country, which age itself cannot wipe
away. And I hove the best wife and
the best sons and daughters in the
world."

Heredity Versus Environment.
A garden, purty wns given recently
at St.'Dunston's Lodge, Regent's Park,
London, by the Countess of Londes-
borough, when o short meeting wns
held on behnll of the Church of England Home for Waifs and Strays. The
countess tells oi o little boy, who wos
staying at his grandfather's farm, but
he hat: been so continuously and persistently naughty, that his aunt, who
hnd charge of him in his mother's
absence, did not know what to do
with him. In despair she said, weakly: "If you do not behave, 1 shall
put you in one of grandpapa's lien-
coops." "Well," snid Henry, sturdily, "before you put me in, I wont to
tell you that 1 if ill not lay any eggs."
Tampering With Cables.

A Royal Fish Storey.
You know that kings and queens
have prerogatives of English rulers in
olden times related to royal fish.
Boyul fish are sturgeon .and whale,
which are considered the finest of
deep-sea fish. For this reason, "on
account of their superior excellence,"
whenever one of these fish was thrown
ashore or caught near the coast of
England it became the property ol
the King. This seems very unjust
to those who might secure the whale
or sturgeon, for they were compelled
to give it up without receiving any
pay. However, the King had some
ground for claiming these royal fish
as his property, because it was he who
guurded and protected the seas Irom
pirates und robbers, and in those days
there were very many of them.
The most peculiar feature of the
custom of royal fish was thut, while
the whole of the sturgeon belonged
to tbe King, only hulf of the whale
did. For it was a prerogative, as it
wus called, of the Queen that the
tail of every whale caught in the way
described was her property, while the
head only was the King's. The reason for this division, us given by the
old records, wus to furnish the
Queen's wardrobe with the whalebone
and thio reason is more amusing than
the custom is peculiar, Ior the whalebone lies entirely in the head of the
whola. But there are many more as
strange ond amusing customs recorded- in England's early lawB.

"Is there so much difference between politicians and actors? Both
are equally eager for popular applause, both equally doubtful whether
they will got it." Thus Mrs. Corn-
wnllis-VV'est, in "His Borrowed
Plumei-," the production of which
play aroused so much interest at the
Hicks Theatre, London, a few days
ngo. One wonder,s what Mr, Winston
Churchill, who watched the first per-
formanc! from a box. thought of this,
his mother's sarcastic reference to
tiie stage and politics. "His Borrowed Plumes" is Mrs. Cornwallis-West's
first play, and was written in a single
week in the country. It scintillates
with brilliant epigrams; for the former
Lady Randolph Churchill is a woman
who can both write and speak brilliantly.
Wife Sold by Auction.
A strange story nf n man selling his
wife to another, comes from England.
A convivial outing took plnce ai
Cradley Heath recently, and one of
the men present, a chuinmaker, offered to dispose of liis wife to the first
bidder, A sum of $100 was speedily
forthcoming, the money being paid
by cheque. The lady, who wai of
prepossessing appeurHiice, expressed
no objection to the sale, going off with
her purchaser.

AN ENGLISH POw.PEIL
City ot Verulamium Contains Some
Remarkable Antiquities.
English newspapers note that the
Earl ot V'erulam, who owns the sand
upon which was built the ancient Unman city of Verulamium, has given
permission to the Society ol Antiquaries to undertake excavations, which
will shortly be commenced. The site
of Verulamium lies a mile or bo from
the centre of St. Albans, just at the
entrance of the beautiful Gorhunibury
Park. ,
Verulamium was one of the most
important cities in England ut the
time of the Romaa occupation. With
Eboracum (York) it enjoyed the dignity of being a municipium, which
meant that all w)io were born within
its walls could claim Roman citizenship. It was situated in Watling
street, and the British insurrection
under Boadicea culminated here in
the massacre of 70,000 Romans. In
"103, or perhaps earlier, St. Albiin, the
first English martyr, was beheaded
on the site of the present St. Alban's
Abbey. Not long after the ancient
town was lorsaken, and the hew one
—St. Albans—grew up on the hill
which had shadowed it.
In the centre of the Bite of the old
city is the Church of St. Michael, the
vicarage of which stands in the middle of what was the forum. A lew old
walls and other fragments are to be
seen here and there, but the Roman
city lies for. the most pkrt buried under a considerable depth of soil. In
the course of centuries earth hue been
washed down from the hillside, and
earthworms have been busy, and
where once lay the proud and splendid city is now the quiet, flower-filled
garden of the vicarage, the fields of
the glebe, and other pastures and
plough lands.
The stones and Roman bricks of Verulamium were, of course, much used
for latet buildings elsewhere. St. Alban's Abbey is very largely built from
them. But a great deal still remains
under the soil. About sixty years ago,
and again in 1869, the theatre was
partly and temporarily uncovered,
and some fine frescoes, pavements,
and marbles were found. It is the
only Roman theatre in Britain, and
its dimension are almost exactly the
same aa those of the theatre at Pompeii.
in fact the whole town of Verulamium singularly resembles Pompeii as
regards shape—an irregular oval—dimensions and arrangement and post-,
tion of streets and buildings. It is
slightly laiger, its walls enclosing an
area of 190 acres. Its excavation
ought to provide extraordinary interest. If it is done thoroughly, as no
doubt it will be, we shall have within
o few miles of London on object-lesson
of surpassing educational and antiquarian value as to how the Romans
lived in Britain two thousand years
ago.
A Model Love-Letter.
Australia iB a greet country for competitions. The Victorian mining city
of Ballarat which returns Alfred Den-
kin to the Federal Parliament, has
had a love-letter competition, which
proved so attractive us to draw competitors from all over the Empire.
.It closed a few days ago, with the
interesting result that the first prize
was awarded to an English lady, Miss
Gertrude Leighton of Block End,
.Cornwall. The letter judged to be
the best ran thus:
"To An Imaginary Correspondent:
You BBk me to forgive you. Whot
eon you ever do, sweetheart, which
for one moment could make me tor-
get what you are to me, or thot love
which has made earth heaven, and
my life a joy? Have I to forgive 'lie
sun for lurking behind the clouds
when he has shone on my days a!id
made them golden; or shall I welcome
him the less when he comes forth to
warm me again? Beloved, if I hare
a'lgh' to forgive it is that you, I hole1,
have asked the question. I have w>
desire to know anything, except thai
you have loved me and love me still.
My faith is unquestioning, for have
I not crowned you king, nnd the king
can do no wrong? These eyes of mine,
which have closed beneath your
kisses, are sightless until your lips
unseal them. My ears are deaf except to the magic call of the voice
of my beloved, and my heart has ceased to beat until it can throb on yours.
I am sleeping, and shall awaken but
ot the sound of your footsteps."
Painting In the Dark.
Considerable interest will doubtless
be aroused at the forthcoming exhibition of the English Salon ot the Albert Hall, by the work of Mr. H. K.
Raine, a young artist who paints portraits in a light so subdued as to
seem, to the new-comer's eyes almost
total darkness. He has invented a
portable shutter for regulating the
light of a room, and is thus able to
paint liis sitters in their own homes.
One result of his.method is that he
paints with extraordinary speed. Sittings of about half on hour before and
after luncheon for one week are all
that he demands. Mr. Raine makes
his own oil, canvas, and colors by a
secret process, und anyone may see
thp distinct similarity between his
color's and those of the old Dutch
colorists.
Married to a Doll.
India iB a land of many strange
superstitions, but a recent case report'"! from a town called Badaon is
curious almost beyond belief. An inhabitant lost two wives In quick succession, and was about to contract a
third marriage, when he received the
following mandate from the relations
of the bride:
We are told that when a man has
nlrendy lost two wives hia third also
dies very soon. In order to satisfy
the Angel of Death, you are requested
to marry a doll, and thereafter come
and marry our daughter, who should
be your fourth wife and not your
third.
The man did as ho was told. He
married the doll, then gave out that
she was dead, buried her with great
pomp, und proceeded to marry his
fourth wife,
