Mr. Hanna also up - Deals to the churches to lay the feels before their people,: Although the time may not yet have coins for rationing the people. We imagine that something more will have to be done than making general appeals. The people must be shown the waY to economize. Perhaps it a food table was figured out and pub- lished a large portion of the people would be willing to guide themselves thereby. What is a war menu? Let err.

"Give me your handkercnief! Turn your bead aside," and as he speaks he driews out the cruel knife, and begins to stanch Mt blood. "Come! we must bear him to the house," and exerting bis stiength to the utmost, he. raises the limp form in his arms. Between them they carry him who, but a few moments before, was a strong, stalwart man, now as helpless as a child, as lifeless its a fallen tree, into the petest's chamber. "Now, quick, my son," he says, in a low voice. "Help me cut the cloth- ing from the wound. Be calm. Every moment Is one of life or death. Life hangs on a thread. Good! Give -me that towel yonder.

"Now 'fly to the village, to the, inn, and tell them to seed me tho landlord, Hermann. He is almost a surgeon. and bas been in the. German mars. You understand? Everything depends upon your preence of mind, my son." Sir Frederic murmurs a wild assent, and tears down the village street to the inn. With breathles•words he makea the landlord undeestend something of the tragedy that has occured. "Ah, yes!" exclaims the landlord, with a white face, as he seizes his hat. "It is what I expected.

All his thoughts are bent- on the man lying at death's door upstairs, on Signe, far away end alone. to whom meet be told tbls dw- ful thing which has befallen thdm. "And. I! I have done It all! 1 am the cause!" he groans. "If I had not told her this would not have happen- ed. By Heaven, he must be right, and I must be mad!" Indeed, he aas almost mad during the silent hours of lam.% stillness spent in that tenet parlor, with the consciousness of all that was going on above his head. At last a footstep is heard outside, and the landlord enters. "Are you, there, milord?" he says, in a hushed Whisper. "Yes --yes. What news? Is -is he dead?" and he groans. Hermann slowly shakes his head. "He has come to and wishes to see you, The good father and I, myself, have warlied him of the danger of speaking, but he will have his way. Milord was always of that kind, and no no one could say him otherwise, or go against him You VIII not speak to him overmuch, milord?" Sir Frederic waves his hand in as- sent, and follows the man upstairs. Stretched on the bed lies Heetor Lord of Delamere. A. few hours ago, and he could have performed with ease any of the feats that athletes wake a boast Of; a few hours ago, and he held Sir Frederic's life in his bands; and now he dies, helpless as a child, with white face, drained of every drop of blood -with fares elosed by lids that are too heavy to lift. Be- side him, holding a helpless nand, stands the priest, a solemn pityand tendernees on his beatulful face. He makes a gesture with his tree hand for Sir Frederic to approach, and he ereeps near. "Is he here? Are yeti there?" white pers Hector. "I am here,' 'answers Sir Frederic, almoet inaadibly. A faint Sense of satisfaction makes itself visible oa the white face. "Bend down -1 cannot make. myself heard," Sir Frederic kneele beside the bed. "Sir Predirle, it is not unlikely that shall die." A hollow Moan escapes Sir Proder- len Ups unwittingly.

"Delamere," he says, in a hoarse whisper. "1-I believe YOU, 1 believe You are innocent, however black it looks. For Heaven's sake, forgive "I forgive you. Brine her to me!" Is the breathless reply. "Go now, my son," says the priest. and Sir Frederic,. just touching the motionless hand laid death -like on, the coverlid, goes noiselessie from . the room. Morning comes, and with a surgeon from Aletto, brought hither by a mounted messenger. He exaraines the Patient with pursed lips and anxious brow. "You have done everything that could have been done, father," he says. "And will a he live?" demands the priest, anxiously. The surgeon shrugs hia shoulders anddeclines to commit himself, after the neanner ot his tribe all the world over. "The wound is a bad one," he says, looking down •on the patient, who is now all unconscious; "but he is Eng- lish, and the English die hard: I had one who fell from a mountain cliff and broke nearly every bone in his body, and he lived, and is well now! But who shall say? There is the fever, and this- milord. will have the fever badly, and if he should have it too badly he will die. At any rate, father, I should be prepared. • Send for his friends." "He has only one friend, his wife, and she is sent for," says the priest, gently; and the surgeon, shaking his head, goes on his way. On the third day, atter an. awful at- tack of delirium, Hector comes to himself. "Has she come?" he asks. "Noe yet, but she will, doubtless my son," teplies the father, who scarcely leaves the bedelde. Fancy Mr. Podswell watching beside a sick 'bed for four nights! "Yes, I shall last until she comes. I feel it And Lucia? You have not caught -I hope you have not caught "No, we have not," says the priest, simply. "We have not tried," An expression of relief comes to Hector's face. "I am glad,' 'he saps, and relapses Into enconsciousuess. No man, since suffering humanity began to suffer, was watched and tended as is my lord of Delamere. A sister of mercy, hi her black robe and white cap, hovers perpetualy beside his bed, seeming to require neither sleep nor food, se vigilant and con- stant is her ministration. The good father, whatever his duties will per- mit, is always by his side; and even Hermann neglects his inn to Join the duet, and tnalce a trio of it. If earthly skill can work a nitrate, Lord Delamere will recover; but only a miracle, so says the surgeon, can produce this desired recovery. "There is something here" -and he touches the white forehea.d-"whieh 1 canat treat. "Who can minister to a mead diseased? That is the Eng- lish 'poet, Shakespeare. The man's mind Is. diseased, is burdened with a trouble which I cannot alleviate, and cannot therefore cure. I am afraid, father, that he will die." The good father sighs, and the ten- der-hearted sister gazes on the band - some face -with tearful eyes. If it came to a question of life for lire, either of them would have given eels or her life for that of the strong man whase power is ebbing away. Ebbing so test that the blood seems to desert each ilmb one by one, so that the once brown hand ie as melte as the colorless face.

(Au Old Gloucestershire Superstitiow) They dug no grave for our soldier lad, who fought and who died out there; Buie and rum for him were dumb, and the padre .said no prayer; The massing bell gave never a peal to warn that a soul was tled, And we laid him not in the quiet spot where cluster his kin that are dead. But I hear a foot on the pathway, above the low bum of the hive, That at edge of dark, with the song of the lark, tells that the world Is alive; The master starts on his errand, his tread is heavy and slow, Yet he cannot chose but tell the news -the bees have a right to know. Bound by the ties of a happier day, they are one with us now in our worst; On the very morn that my boy was born they were told the tidings the first; With what pride they will hear of the end he made, and the ordeal that he trod, he trod - IR the scream of shell, and the ven- om of hell, and the name ,of the sword ot God. • Wise little heralds, tell Of my boy; lu your golden tabard. boas 'felt the bank where he slept, and tbe stream he leapt, where the span- gled Illy Pleats; • tree he climbed shall Mt her head, and the torrent he sweat shall thrill, the tempest that bore his shouts before shall cty his message still.
