and lar ar -;abet svaay were ee:aartrivizag
to get a good deal of fun out of the
eveazixr : when suddenly their peace
was invaded by the unexpected
eight of the very face whieh Frithiof
had so stret uously tried to exile
from his thoughts, They had just
finished a waltz. 'Sigrid looted up
from her music and saw, only afew
yards distant from her, the pretty
willowy figure, the :glowing Race and
dark'eyesand siren -like smile of
Lady Rominau„ . For a moment her
heart seemed to stop beating, then
with a wild hope that possibly Fri -
thief might not have noticed her,
she turned to him with intense
anxiety.
"Prithiof," Eke said. in Norweg-
ian, "you are faint. Go out into
the cool and get some water before•
the next dance."
How she longed to get up and
rush from the house! How she
loathed that woman who stood
flirting withthe empty-headed man
standing at her aside l If it had not
been for her perfidy how ,different
all might now bet
"I can't help hating her
thought poor Sigrid. -"She has
ruined Frithiof's life, and now in
one moment has undone the work
of months. She brought about my
father's failure; if she had been
true we should not now be toiling
to pay off these -terrible debts
hundreds of homes in Bergen would
have been saved from a cruel loss
-and he -my father -he might
have been alive and well! How
can I help hating her"'
At that moment Blanche 'hap-
pened to eatch sight of them. The
oolor deepened in her cheeks.
"Have they come to that t" she
thought. `Oh, poor things! ' How
sorry I am for them ! Papa told
me Herr Falck had failed; but to
have sunk so low! Well, since they
lost all their money it was a mercy
that all was over between us. And
yet, if I had been true to him-"
Her companion wondered what
made her so silent all at once.
"How extraordinary that I
should chance to meet my Viking

:t was quite possible for Lady'
tnianx to go, but the dance was
yet over, arxnd Frithiof and Sig-
rid had, of craursel, to stay to the
bitter end.:,
And at length. the programme had
been toiled thr, tugh. She hurried
down-staira tet put on her cloak and
hat, rejoining Frithiof in a few
minutes in the crowded hall, where
ho stood looking, to her fond' fancy,
a thousand tunes nobler and gran-
der than any of the other men
about him.
"You are very tired V' asked Sig-
rid, lipping her arm into his.
"Yes, tired to death." he said.
"It is humiliating for a fellow to
be knocked out by so 'little."
"I do not call it 'little,' " she
said, eagerly. "You know quite.
well it was neither the heat nor the
work which tired you. Oh, Frithiof,
how could that woman dare. to
speak to you I"
"Hush I" he ,said, sadly.. "Talk-
ing only makes it worse. I wish
you -would drive the thought out of
my head with seething else."
The dine dreary streets through
which they walked and the gradu-
ally increasing light in the east,
seemed like a picture of has own
life, for there dawned for him in.
his sadness a clearer revelation of
the Unseen than had even before
been granted -him.
CHAPTER XXIII.
It seemed to Sigrid that she had
hardly gone to bed before it was
time to get up again; she sleepily
wished that Londoners would give
dances at more reanable hc;tlse,
then, remembering all that had
happened, she forgot her own
weariness and turned with an eager
question to Swanhild. "It was the
little sister's daily duty to go in
end wake Frithiof up a task of
some difficulty, for either his bad
habit of working at night during
his lonely year in town, or else her
illness, had left him with a ten-
dency to be wide awake 'between
twelve and two and sound asleep
between six -and seven.
"You haven't called' him yet,
have your asked Sigrid, rubbing
her eyes.
"No; but it is quite time," said
Sivattlnng
,nbiltl, shuup her atlas
and rearing up in the bed where
she had been luxuriously learning
geography.
"Oh leave hims
.a little longer,"
,b
said Sigrid. "We were so late last
night, and his head ii'as so bad,
that I don't suppose he has had

OFFER UP A PRAYER.
Before the sale the auctioneers
ranged themselves in line, and on 1
behalf' of all of them the senior
auctioneer offered _ up ° a prayer
aloud. Ile called upon the patron
saint of the eity to bless those who
bought and those who sold the
slaves, and his utterances; which
did not err on -the side of brevity,
were met 'with a frequent response,
not only from, his brother auction-
eers but from the tissembled buy-
ers, As soon as the prayer was
over each auctioneer hurried to his
pen, sorted out his slaves, and led
them, slowly round the' market
while the intending buyers scanned
the :slaves as ` they passed and lis-
tened to the extravagant praise
each auctioneer 'gave to the mem-
bers of his company.
'Far: better the naked trufh tha

ALL BLACKS.
The slaves, without exception
black, were of all ages and phy-
sique, from old men and women
who could command only a few dol-
lars, down to little children, who
were sometimes offered with their
mothers, but could be 'separated if
necessary. This separation' led .from
time to time to scenes too painful
for deeeription here.
When a purchaser lad selected
the slave' likely to suit his require-
ments there would be , some exami-
nation, consisting generally of feel-
ing the muscles and examining the
teeth, for the Moors attach great
importance to the . condition of a
slave's teeth, and one whose mouth
is in a bad plight can find no pur-
chaser save at a, very low figure.
FRIGHTENED CHILDREN.
The middle-aged and the young
would probably be purchased for
-work in the fields, while the young
girls were bought for the harenn,
and the boys were oftenbought to
be companions to the sons of the
buyer, it being the custom in M•or-
rocco -to give a lad a slave -compan-
ion about his own age who grotiws
up with him and becomes his confi-
dential servant, often reaching a
position of importance in the house-
hold.
When a buyer had selected his
slave he would make an offer for
him. and the dilal would then re-
sume his tramp round the market-
place,; leading the 'slave or slaves
selected and ,naming the price that
had been ,offered. If after two or
three' promenades n ohocly bettered
this :price the sale wouldbe con -
eluded.

'INVENTOR OF GOOD ROADS.
Jelin Loudon lacActa1n, 'Who Gave
His Name to a, System,
John Loudon McAdam, the road
builder, an article which ; appears
in the current issue of Good Roads,
is on,e eonsiderable interest to the
lay reader, as well as to the man
whose business is the building of
roads,
The article was written by Maur-
iee O. Eldridge, Assoc. I+1, A.m. Soc.
0. E assistant in charge of road
management investigations in the
United States offiee of public roads.
Tohn Loudon McAdam, was born
at Ayr, Seotland, on September 21,
1758, He was theson of James Me -
.Adam, a, descendant of Adana MC-
Gregor,
o-Gr gor, the first baron of Water
head and ene of the Highland elan
of 11 eGreger. When Janes II. of
Scotland outlawed the McGregors,
Adam settled in the lowlands and
changed his nano to McAdam..
John Loudon McAdarn'e mother
was SSusana Cochrane, daughter of
John Cochrane of Waterhead, a rel-
ativeofthe
Earl of Dundonald.
1.Vhen John was fourteen years
old his father died and he was in-
trusted to the care of his uncle,
William McAdam; a naerohant liv-
ing in New York. Ile received his
business training with his uncle' and
accumulated a considerable fortune
during the revolutionary war as an
agent for the sale of prizes. 'When
the war was aver, McAdam had lost
most of his property, but bad
enough left to enable him to return
to Scotland in 1783, and purchase
Sambrie, anestate in: Ayrshire,
where he lived for thirteen years.
He was married twice, his first
wife being the daughter of an
American by descent, named De-
Lanoey. He bad seven children,
four sons and three daughters, all
by his first wife.
'In Ayrshire, McAdam was
magis-
trate deputy lieutenant of the
county and road trustee. At that
time the rods throughout oot Gxe &{
Britain, especially in S.eo-ilaud,l
were very bad, and McAdam inter-(
ested himself in investi gain con-
ditions asd conducting experxnnents:
in road building.
As a result of his investigations;
and experiments, he arrived at the
conclusion that roads should be
constructed cted of smallbroken stone.
s tri t
He contended that the earth foun-
dation should be raised slightly

above the adjacent t d las

the earth foundation should be cov-

proportion to the hardness of the,
stone and the density of trafl=te. Ileal
laid down this priseniple : That the
natural soil really supports the
traffic. and that while it is pre-
served
reserved ie a dry •state it will su:staia
any weight without sinking. The
two essential requisites, therefore,
were drainage and a. waterproof
eovrering.
