He has reached Pes-\nsara's flank, and inch by inch he is\nsurely gaining on him.\nThe mad shouts about him are\ndeafening, but he sees only tho\nwhite face of Olive Kneeland like a\nloadstar before him.\nPessara begins to show signs of\nimpatience and distress; the foam\nrovers his chest, and his eyes flash.\nIt is all his rider can do to urge him\nonward with knee, spur, und lash.\nThere is only one more rod to cover.\nPessara and J udge Morrow are side\nby side, neck to neck, both increasing their speed with every whirling\nstride. Suddenly Pessara falters ever\nSo slightly. 51 en and women hold\ntheir breath. Then, quick as a flash,\nas if shot from a bow, gallant littlo\n.Judge Morrow passes him by a lap.\nIt is done so swiftly, so suddenly,\nanil so masterfully that a great cry\nof delight breaks from the vast multifile of  spectators.\nOne instant more, and the cry has\ndeepened into a mighty, deafening\nyell, Little Judge Morrow, with a\npassionate strain of mighty muscle,\nirnd the tense glare of straining eye-\nbal's, like a bird passes under tho\nwire and past the grand stand, and a\nmoment later the victor stands panting and trembling at the spot whero\nthey have led Olive Kneeland.\nThe girl forgets the great throng;\nthe man who hnn gallantly ridden\nhim on to victory and to fortune forgets everything but the panting,\nbeautiful horso whom the eager thousands are crowding and pushing one\nanother wildly to catch a glimpse of.\nAnd in the excitement Roger Glendenning slips away quite unnoticed in\nthe  crowd.\nThe next morning's paper gavo a\nfull account of th? great race, together with the encouraging report\nthat little Judge Morrow hud been\nsold for a great sum, and the money\nhad been paid cash down on the\nspot to the fair young girl who\nowned him. Considerable comment\nwas made in reference to the sudden\ndisappearance of the man who had\nridden him; and it. further stated in\nthe article that it was to be hoped\nhe would put in an appearance at\nonce and receive the congratulations,\nand, better 'still, the money that\nawaited him. The same paper also\nstated that Miss Kneeland would\ntake the Albany boat that evening\nto join the judge.\nGlendenning could never account for\nthe impulse which prompted him to\ntake the same boat, though it cost\nhim the last dollar he had in the\nworld. As soon as he stepped on\ndeck he saw her, standing at the\nfurther end of the bont, with her little hands resting lightly on the rail,\ngazing dreamily into the water. How\nsweet and fair she looked, ond how\nthoughtful! He looked about for his\nbrother Oscar, He was not there. A\nfeeling of fierce, angry impatience\nstirred Roger's heart that he should\nneglect her so. Why was he not wilh\nher? If there was anything in the\nworld he detested, it was to see a\nmnn neglect the lady to whom he\nwns ix'trothi'd for anything the wide\nworld held. The man who ditl it was.\nin his opinion, unworthy the name of\nmnn\u2014a despicable creature too mean\nto waste a thought on. He wondered why Olive, who wus naturally so\nhigh-spirited, did not resent it.\nShe' appeared to lie quite alone.\nFor long hours he snt uud Watched\nher. Ah! how sweet it was to bo so\nnear her, breathe the sumo air with\nher\u2014so near that he could almost\nreach her dress with his outstretched hands. She stood quite still, forgetful of all time, deeply engrossed In\nher own reverie.\nThe sun went down, and slowly and\nsoftly the dusk gathered, settling\ndown inlo the black shadows of\nnight. The moon rose, nnd one by\none the golden stars caine out\u00bb and\nfixed themselves in the deep blue sky\noverhead, mirroring their brilliant\ntwinkling in the dancing, U'hl.o-\nenpped waves below in a thousand\narrowy gleams. Still Olive Kneoland\nstood there, little dreaming llmt ho\nof whom she wus thinking was so\nnear her.\nCHAPT-R XV.\ntarge aim-cnairs Ut tne lurtner ena\nof the room, his head bent on his\nhand.\nShe crossed over to his side quickly-\nThe dry clothes she had borrowed\nfrom the stewardess did net trail;\nthus there was no frou-frou of skirts\non tho moqueUe carpet, and he was\nnot aware of her presence until sho\nspoke.\n\"You must allow me to thank\nyou for saving my life, sir,\" she\nsuid, holding out her slim while\nhnnd. \"Words but poorly express my\ndeep  and  everlasting gratitude,   1\u2014\"\nThe rest of the sentence was never\n._ste etifii\u2014.\u2014i ena carriage with un- I\nsteady steps, receiving his greeting |\nconstrainedly. ...\n\"Olive,\"  he asked,  suddenly, as she\ntook her seat, \"who was that young\nman  I  saw  you  talking to   ' at \"the |\ncabin  window,  and  Who    came    and j\nlooked  after you?

She\nhad loaned far over the rail now,\ngazing intently down into the white-\ncapped waves that dashed their\nfoamy crest almost up to the deck\nin their sportive play. Suddenly, as\nhe watched her, the boat gave an unexpected lurch forward; then those on\ndeck heard a shrill, sharp cry of\nterror, and almost before they could\nrealize what was happening, they\nsaw the girl lose her balance and\nfall headlong tlown into the water,\nand ere they could reach the spot tho\nmad waves had closed over her.\nBut simultaneously with that piteous cry there rose another, full of\nsharp horror,' and they saw the man\nwho had been standing near her\nthrow off his coat and hat and\nplunge in after the girl.\nIn an instant the wildest .commotion reigned; the bells were rung,\npassengers crowded to the decks, and\nthe most intense excitement prevailed.\nTho steamer had dashed on fully a\nfurlong ere it could be stopped.\nBoats were quickly lowered, but\nevery face was blanched. No one had\nseen either the girl or the young man\nwho had sprung so nobly to her rescue 'appear after the waves had\nswallowed them.\nThree, four minutes passed, the\nlength of eternity to the men who\nsat in the skiff, which was shooting\nabout with the rapidity of lightning\nwherever a dark object could be discerned on the waves.\nAt length they bchdld a white hand\ncleave the dark water, and an instant later two heads appeared above\nthe waves, then sink quite as quickly.\n\"Pull, lads\u2014pull with a will!\" cried\nthe man in the stern of the boat.\n\"It's all up with them, I fear; they\nmust have gone down then for tho\nthird time.\" But at that moment\nthey all saw the white hand thrust\nfrom the waves again, and knew that\nthe brave rescuer, v.'ith his heavy\nburden, wus making superhuman efforts to keep above water, and that\nhis strength would |iot last him\nmany seconds longer. They shouted\nto him lustily, and he heard them,\nand caught the rope they flung out to\nhim, and in less time than it takes to\ntell it he was drawn into the skill,\nstill grasping his dripping, almost\nlifeless burden, and was soon drawn\non board the steamer.\nGentle hands relieved his stiffeno-\narms of their burden, and while restoratives were applied to the young\ntady and the work of resuscitation\nwas pushed rapidly forward, others\nturned their uttention to the young\nhero, who, as soon as he realized\nthat they were safe on deck and the\ndanger over, fell back in a deep\nswoon.\nAs 'they bent over him, forcing\nbrandy between his white lips, the\nattendants in charge made a startling discovery\u2014the man hud been in\ndisguise! The action of the water\nhad almost removed the black dye\nfrom his face, his hair, anil his\niloiidc moustache, and they found thnt\nho was very fair, instead of the dark\nyoung man he had Appeared.\nThey went quietly to the captain,\ntelling whnt a strange discovery the.v\nhad made, antl he decided that the\nproper course to pursue would be to\nkeep the young man under strict surveillance until he could ascertain who\nnnd what ho was.\nBy this lime the boat had reached\nAlbany, antl everybody hastened\nashore, all save Miss Kneeland.\nJudge Kneoland, thou.fi very weak\nfrom his recent illness, had come\ndown in a carriage to the boat to\nmeet his daughter.\nGrent was his consternation when\nshe did not make her appearance with\nthe rest, for lie had caught a glimpse\nof her walking' hurriedly along tho\ndeck.\nImmediately upon gaining consciousness, Olive learned how narrowly she hud escaped drowning, and\nthat her rescuer lay in the next cabin\nin a rather precarious condition, but\nb.v that timr he had no doubt come\nout  of his deep, trance-like swoon.\n\"Let mo go to him, please, and\nthank him for saving my life,\" she\npleaded. \"I must do this.\"\nThe captain gave the young lady\nhis arm, and they proceeded at onco\nto the opposite cabin.\nAt the door he was hurriedly called  nway,   and  Olive entered  alone.\nThe cabin  was  dimly  lighted,    but\nving was to be presented to Queen\nVictoria and was delighted nt the honor. An officious court functionary took\nit upon himself to tell the player \"uot\nto mention this matter outside\" lest\nother actors, such as Mr. Toole, might\nthink that they should be presented\ntoo. \"Let me tell you, sir,\" said Irving,\n\"that Mr. Toole Is not only a deservedly renowned comedian; he is also a\ntruly Christian gentleman.

He had risen to his feet and\nstood tremblingly before her, and tho\nlight of the swinging lamp falling\nfull upon him, revealed to her Roger  Glendenning  in  the  flesh.\nFor an instant she stood before\nhim paralyzed. Was it some mad\ndream? Were here eyes and sense of\nseeing playing her false? Was it. ho\nwhom they said lay charred and unrecognizable beneath the ruins of the\ngreat lire?

The\n\"tongue\" of a bee is not, as was once\nthought to be the case, a tube through\nwhich the juice is sucked, but is built\nmore after the fashion of a fine broom.\nWith this broom the bee brushes or\nlaps the honey or houey material from\nthe flowers, leaves, etc., and passes it\ntlown a groove in the upper surface of\nthe tongue to the mouth proper. From\nthat point the juice is conveyed\nthrough a minute orifice into the \"first\nstomach,\" vulgarly called the \"honey\nbag.\" The honey bag Is a real chemical laboratory, where by some mysterious process which has not yet been\nexplained by science the juices are\nconverted Into pure honey. When the\nchemical process of transforming the\nnectar into viscid houey has been completed the bee disgorges It into one of\nthe cells made for the purpose of a receptacle.

Not\nonly is this treatment scientifically\ncorrect, but the enormous success\nwhich it has attained has proven it\nto be unequalled as a cure for all\ndiseases resulting from thin, watery\nblood.\nWhen you cannot sleep well, suffer\nfrom nervous headnciies and indigestion, brain fag, irritability, trembling\nor twitching of tho nerves, and feel\ndownhearted or discouraged, turn to\nDr. Chase's Nerve Food as the most\ncertain menns of restoring vitality to\nthe nervous system, and of avoiding\nnervous prostration, paralysis or\nsome dreadful form of helplessness.\nDr. Chase's Nerve Food, 50 cents a\nbox, 6 boxes for $2.50, at all dealers,\nor Edmanson, Bates & Co.,  Toronto.\n' ,.  . -   imr.li\n\u25a0\n\u25a0   I   \u25a0\"'\u25a0V\nrttr\nTHE ADVOCATE, VANCOUVER.

Let them join\nhands antl danco around the pillows\na number of times until suddenly one\nBide at a signal pulls the other side\nforward, trying tu force some one or\nother of that side to overturn a pillow.\nA merry scrimmage follows until at\nList one side or other is guilty of\noverturning a pillow. Whoever did It\nmust drop out of the game, disgraced (!), and the. game goes on, one\nafter another having to drop out, until, finally, only one of each Bide is left.\nThese two fight it out until one or\nother triumphs, while the disgraced\nplayers stand about and cheer their\nrespective champions on.   '\nHopping and jumping are both per\nmitted as means of avoiding a collision with a pillow.\nA variation of the game of Tag is\nknown as Flag-Tag.\nDivide the players into two sides as\nusual, each choosing its captain.\nMake a chalk-line between the lines\nand paint a Hag on each side, twenty\nfeet from the chalk-line.\nEach side must protect its flag, while\nskirmishers are sent forward to try to\ncapture the Hag belonging to the other\nside.\nThe captains only can \"tag\"\u2014this being their way of capturing prisoners.\nAU prisoners must go immediately to\njail; that Is, drop out of the game.\nThere is room for much strategy and\ncleverness In this game. Suppose the\nopposing captain is after you': Douge\nhim this way and that, and meanwhile\nget one of your fellow-players to try to\ndistract his attention by feigning to attack his flag. If he succeeds in divert*\ning the captain's pursuit to himself,\nthat gives you your chance to make a\ndash for the Hag, seizing it and possibly returning safely and triumphantly\nhome with it, although you will have\nyour troubles, for the gallant d< fenders\nof the flag, even though they cannot\n\"tag\" you, can struggle to retain tho\nHag, while shouting to their captain to\ncome and \"tag\"  you.\nWhenever your side succeeds in cap-\nluring the flag, the conquered side must\nhunfhlv walk in your train as prisoners,\nwhile you march triumphantly around\nthe block once or twice with the captured flag at the head of your procession.\nAnother delightful game is as suitable\nfor indoors as out. It is known as clairvoyance.\nOne goes out of the room and\na word is chosen. And as she enters, you ask, \"Is it a \u2014?\" naming\nsome article whose flrst letter is the\nfirst letter of the word she is to guess.\nThen ask,  \"Is It a  ?\"'naming some\narticle where the first letter Is the second letter of the word to be guessed,\nand son on till the word is complete.\nThus, suppose the word was \"curtain.\"\nYour question could be: \"Is it a candle?\nIs it an umbrella? Is it a rat? Is It a\ntable? ls it an apple? Is it Ice? Is it\na needle?\" By this time she has found,\nhy remembering the first letters of each\nword, that \"curtain\" hs what was chosen.

It was said of them that\nthey would quarrel with their own\nshadows if there was nothing else to\nHnd fault with. They were a most discontented lot, those dwellers in Dellydale, and because they could not be\nhappy themselves and enjoy the glorious\nsunlight, they hated to see any one else\nhappy.\nAnd yet they were handsome, tall and\nprosperous people, in a splendid country, where the grapes grew In profusion\nand where the purest of wine flowed, as\nit were, like milk and honey. For they\nwere makers of a delicious wine that\nwas specially prepared for all sick and\nailing folk.\nThis industry in itself, one would\nthink, would have had a cheering influence on their natures, but the contrary\nwas the case. They were a grumpy lot,\nand grumbled at everything, just like\nthat remarkable person who longed for\nsomething, she did not know what, and\nwhen she got it, she did not want it,\nQuantock the Dwarf had no human\ncompanion to talk to, so he used to\ntell all his troubles every night to the\nfairies when the moon rode high In\nthe heaven's; and sometimes he\nthought they answered him and told\nhim not to be cast down.\nHe lived with \u25a0 his great-grandmother away in the valley beside a\nbubbling brook that reflected the sunlight In a thousand different shades.\nHe was sadly deformed, and had to\nhobble about with a stick; and it was\nthe delight of the village children.\n\"When he visited Dellydale to buy food\nfor the little house, since his old\ngreat-grandmother could only sit outside the hut and sun herself throughout the day, it was a delight of the\nvillage children to take away his\nstaff, so that he had either to wait\nuntil some one more kind than the rest\nisiot under Control.\nTommy had got Into a bad habit o\u00ab.\nmaking faces behind his teacher's back\nat school.

It ia two oalrs of wings, but\ncould fly only with difficulty, like a\ntame dock.\nshould give him a h..plng hand or\ne).se crawl home as best he could\nwithout assistance.\nThis pleased these naughty children\nmore than ever, for, as poor Quantock,\nwith tears in his eyes, moved slowly\nalong on his hands and knees they\nwould dance around him all the way\nand jeer at him for being misshapen\nand ugly.\nThis unfair, unjust and cruel treatment lasted for many long months,\nbut, in spite of It all, Quantock'- sweet\nand generous nature remained unspoiled, and he never wished them any\nharm In return.\nOne day, when they were more than\nusually vicious through never being\nchecked by their misguided parents,\nthe village children seized Quantock\nand threw him into the centre of a\nsmall patch that was surrounded by\nbriars and nettles, and there he lay\nfor hours, stunned and bleeding.\nNow, in the village lived a sweet little maiden called Elvina, whose\nsweetheart was the great Stormont,\nwho hated the puny dwarf and forbade Elvina ever to speak to him. It\nso happened on the night that Quantock was lying In the briar patch,\nmoaning with pain and just waking\nfrom his unconsciousness, that Stormont and Elvina passed that way.\nThey heard the cries, and Stormont\nwas for going to the rescue, but when\nhe saw it was Quantock he only\nlaughed and dragged Elvina away,\nthough she begged of him to assist\nthe helpless dwarf out of his difficulty.\nStill Stormont laughed, and a deep\nanguish sank into Elvlna's heart and\nher sympathies went out to the dwarf\nas she reluctantlv went with Stormont\nto her home. When she said \"Goodnight\" to Stormont she did not go indoors at once, but said she would rest\nby the garden gate and drink in the\nevening air.\nThen, when Stormont was out of\nsight, she got a hedge knife and ran\nas fast as she could to where Quantock was Imprisoned and cut away\nenough of the briars to enable the\ndwarf to craw! through. Then she cut\nhim a thick stick from a tree close\nby, and was going to leave, when he\nbegged she would tell him her name.\nAt last she whispered, quite bashfully,\n\"Elvina.\"\nAnd that night the dwarf blessed\nElvina, and when he was well again\nhe told* the fairies all about her.\nQuantock explained to his old great-\ngrandmother that he,, was not strong\nenough to go to the village again for\na long time, and so they would have\nto   eat  and  drink  sparingly  of what\n\"The old lady sank back in her chair.'*\n-a Flower Anagrams.\n^\u25bcIn  each   of  these  sentences,   find   the\nname of a flower by transposing all the\nletters:\n1.
