They had to inspect llic qunmtness- cs. There was the staircase door opening on a wooden latch, which 1 you lifted by pulling a sliiinr. as il I was in the cottagi of Red Riding ill-nod's grandmother. There was a I rickety, steep stairs ascending, Al ..ve- these wen' two little rooms, uui' opening from the other, Through the door ajar of the- inner room an innocent little w bile bed ,- ns visible; a'stretch of flowery wall-paper; a e hile chest of drawers on whirl stood photographs, books, and the lillle things which make up a girl's possessions, Thc Squire looked quickly that way and averted his eyes, lie bnel never had a sister; and the' mystcr) of feminine belong' ings was sacred to him, Something brcuthed from the little while room as from holy of hoiics. The outer room which Lionel Egerton displayed t" them was another tribute to Mr. Cooper's handincss. Naturally lhe cottage possessed no wardrobe; and an imported oner would not haver stood under llic slop- irif. roof. Tail thc room bad been fitted up as I a wardrobe room, sheeted rounel with some coarse linen stuff, furnished with hanging pei 3, lhe corners Ciite-d as rough wardrobes, screened by cur- I tins ,.!ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ vJooper fitted up ihis in a v.

It was in the' minds of the Squire and Hilary as they walked away that it was an odd thing that Egerton should admit a man like Cooper to the intimacy of bis family. The Squire would not have spoken of it out of sonic strange sensitiveness, Hilary, with the impetuosity eif youth, could not contain his thoughts. "An odd thing, don't you lliinl , Don?" he said, "that arrangement about the f'irl occupying the Old l-Cottage all alone. It seems rather l lonely and unprotected, don't vou think?" "It is safer than more pretentious places," the Squire answered. "Once the bolt is drawn within the Old j Collate at night il would almost be ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ impossible for anyone to effect an entrance Did you notice tbe doors! They arc as strong as a fortress. The windows, opening only at one side, would not ad mil anybody bigger than a baby. Anel, after all, there is only tlu Indue between lhat and lhe other house." "Poor liilio thing!'' said Hilary. "I wonder she is not frightened. She is unlike other girls, she told mc that the Cottage was a ghostï¿½ï¿½ï¿½-a little olej woman wearing a cap and shawl about her .shoulders. She had seen ! the ghost goiifg before ln-r at night as she winl upstairs to bed. ll is monstrous that she should he there [alone'." "Tin rc is the dog," the Squire said. He felt as much moved as Hilary at i ihe thought of Holly Egei toil's lone- I linerss, but her would not admit ii. "He is old, feeble, and nearly I blind. Uo you know, Hon, 1 believe ' she makes lhe Collage her own at least as much for the sake of the elog as anything else? He belonged to her mother, ami .Mrs. Egerton objects lo him in the New Collage." "Very likely." The Squire made no other comment, but his heart was suddenly v.nn t" thc girl who would do so much for a sick dog. "She did not pretend to like the 'ghost." Hilary went, on, "She saiel j that after she entered her room and I closed and locked the eloor she never saw it, The dog is aware of its presence when she cannot sec it. It's rather uncanny, don't you think, I Hon? Egerton ought not to allow I "I'm afraid Mrs. Egerton and her I sister-in-law do not agree," tho I Squire said in his manner of understanding a case. "I bate Mrs. Egerton," said Hil- . ry boyishly. "She' is one of lhe Traceys of Wiudways. Her brother, Bertram Trncey, was at Eton with mc. They are a very old family, very proud and rather poor. I thought Mrs. Egerton looked like somebody, She can be very charming when she likes, Ob vinusly Egerton is tremendously in love with ber. " "I don't like Ihosc Kossetti women," saiel Hilary, finning. Then the Innermost cause of his vexation came out. The Squire had known il all llie time, "Whai tho devil docs Egerton nn.in," lie said, anel flushed when be ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ aid it, "by lotting thai common fellow hang about tin' place and do odd jobs for bis sister''" "I expect ho looks upon him as a workman," the Squire replied, though inwardly hc was as much perplexed as Hilary himself antl as disturbed. If it had been mere out-of-door jobs! liul that wardrobe: htisincssl He bad a suileloii remembrance of Dolly's Utile shoes, standing demurely siu.-. by siele-, a row erf the-rn em a shelf a lirile raised from thc ground. There was a suggestion of Intimacy thai In lied him as il fretted Hilary, thai such services should be rendered unpaid for, to a lady, by the man In- hael caught a glimpse ed that night on Breakback Hill. Poor little beau- lii'ul creature. Hor brother should have more care for her than that. "I saw the fellow,*' said Hilary, stopping and kicking viciously at a stone: in lhe path, "When 1 wenl to look for Miss Egerton he was there talking' wilh her in the garden. I lc was nol talking to her as ho ought; not with the manner oi an inferior to a superior." . "What was hc like?" "Oh, big, with rather S. massive head, the hair curling. A dark, flor- iel complexion; yellow eyes. Some people mighi call him handsome', An insolent brute. I wanted to kick him." "The poor litl" girl seems to have a lonesome lil"." "She is a beauty, isn't she, Don? How- dare that fellow talk lo her with Ids manner of easy insolence." "1 daresay il is his manner with everyone. That manner would go with his fare if he is the: man I think her is." "You're cold-blooded, Don. Slur's a glorious creature. Hid you notice her air of b ing half asleep?" "1 noticed." Hilary would have In cn amazed if he could have had a glimpse of the emotions stirring under his cousin's quietness. "She's an Enchanted Princess," srr'nl Hilary. "A Princess with a spell noon her. I'll like to be the mail to break it." "Shut up, youngster, You gb too fast*" "And you go too slow. Think of her eyes, Don, llic eyes of the Sleep iug Beauty." "It was brown eyes a little while ago."

LITTLE WORRIES JN THE HOME These Bring the Wrinkles and Pallid Faces That Make Women Look Prematurely Old Almost every woman at the head of a home meets daily many little worries in her household affairs.

Most of them mayj bc too small lo notice an hour afterwards, but they constitute a constant strain that affoels the bluod and lhe nerves and male women look prematurely old.. The effect of these little worries may be noticed in sick or nervous headaches, tickle appetite, tiredness alter slight exertion, and tlle coming of wrinkles which every woman dreads. To those, thus afflicted Dr. Williams' Pink Pills offer a speedy cure; a restoration ol color to lhc cheeks, brightness to thc eye, a hearty appetite anel a sense of freedom from weariness.

McDowell of Cumberland, regarding the Organization of Women; in order to teach them how to use llieir vo'e successfully, I was very pleased with the able milliner iu which she bundled the Bubject, and expected to see letters from other ladies encouraging this plan of Organization. I think it is high time that women should use their influence in securing better legislation in defence of women's ri_ihts i:i this province, As a lawyer lo'd me there were no laws in Hriiish Columbia to protect a wo men's inheritance or property en- trusk'.l to her husband. A servant girl could collect wages but a wife could not, nor any share of her husband's proper., if he wished to convey it to another In Ontario a wife e-iin colled one tliiid-of her husband's property, and a convey uu-" or eked is mil lawful without lie:- signature ton. She who helps lo earn and build up a home should have provision niaele for her old age, and not be forced to be seek work for a living, after raising a family ns s'mie grandmothers in B. C, ure doing. Wo read in the book of Numbers Chapter 27. that five women came to Muses in B, G. 1452 saying to Hive ihein the inheritance of their father who had died. So Moses enquired of the Lord what to do. And the Lord said unto Moses, "Thou .halt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren '" Then we read in Joshua 17'4 how they went and reminded Kleaser and Joshua when they were dividing the land, saying 'The Lord commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren" So he save them an inheritance among the brethren of their father. Now in conclusion, the men in the Legislature in B- C. should do likewise, and see to it that a suitable provision should be made for the mothers and grandmothers in this province.

Germans Must Be Constrained Confess Their Military Defeat There is, ns all thc allied governments and peoples see, but- erne way to peace, and that is the Infliction of manifest and decisive military defeat upon the stales which put their whole trust in the sword. Nothing but that can destroy amongst them the worship of "militarism," which poisons and warps the whole being of the population tainted by it and renders Iheir moral and political theories a standing menace to mankind. It would iiot hc enough to reduce lhe states by exhaustion, The pincers arc undoubtedly nipping sharply, and lhc pinch will grow more and more severe as lhe season advances and stores become depleted. But, while the blockade is immensely 'valuable as an ancillary weapon, it is _ not lhc weapon by which "militarism" can be dethroned. That will nol be accomplished until the Germans arc constrained to confess to the military defeat of their main armies in the Iii'iii. It is on the west front, where the largest part of the German forces have always been posted, where the Germans have accumulated the greatest number of guns and lhe blggesl stores of ammunition, and where Ihey have lavished in a greater degree than anywhere clso all the resources of military science in Its most modern forms, that lhc _ main decision must take place, ft is all* important, therefore, that our superiority upon lhis front should steadily increase.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½From the London Times.

How the Germans Were Going Win a Victory, But Didn't "Our first aim was to overthrow France quickly and fence her lo make peace. It is probable that such a peace would have been vciy favorable to France, lor it was to our interest to reduce the number of our foes.

We could then, in favorable conditions, have concluded lhc final peace wilh England, whose forces would have heen lefl disarmed on lhe continent. As, however, wt- could not hope to overcome England's naval supremacy, this peace, like tho lusl arranged with France, would I.aver bail io be ill the nature of a compromise.

Tl,. ir.ven- tiem can be attached to a rifle, for example, without altering the latter. It consists chiefly of a small cylin- diical camera which fastens to the undftr side of tl-.e barrel anel is fitted with a telescopic focusing device, so positioned that its line of focus' is parallel to the gun barrel. Itnme- ; diately in front of the trigger of the weapon a second triiijcr is placed, | which is connected with the camera ; shutter by a wire. When a marksman has aimed his gun and pulls the j luggers, the camera trigger is opcr-' | atcd just an instant before the gun trigger and consequently a snap shot iis secured of the target that the gun j was pointed at. The position o:' the i target as it appears on the developed I plate or tilni will indicate the accuracy of the shot. If the bull's-eye is I'-.-.cily in the centre it shows 'that I lhc gun was coi redly aimed. W. N.
