It's really of no consequence, however. Any good, faithful dog will serve my purpose.

It isn't human nature—or dog nature, either, I'rn glad that you are convinced, Neenah. But please don't tell Sahib Bowles that he is a dog." • "Oh, no, excellency!" she cried ear- nestly. "She is very close mouthed, sahib," added Selim, with conviction. "We'll take Bowles to England with us next week," went on Chase dream- ily. "We'll leave Japat to take care of itself."

Hours afterward the faithful Selim came out to tell him that it was bed- time. He found his master still sit- ting there, looking across the moonlit flat in the direction of a place in the hills where once he had dwelt in mar- ble halls. "Mira," lie said, arising and laying his hand upon his servant's shoulder, his voice unsteady with finality, "I have decided, after aIl, to go to Paris. We will live there, Selim. Do you un- derstand?" with strange fierceness, a great exultation mastering him. . "We are to live in Paris!" To himself all that night he was saying: "I must see her again! Lehall see heel" A thousand times he had read and reread the letter that Lady Depping- ham had written to him just before the ceremony in the cathedral at Thor - berg. He knew every word that It contained. He could read it in the dark. She had said that Genevra was going into a hell that no hereafter 'could surpass in horrors! And that was ages ago, it seemed to him. Ge- nevra had been a wife for nearly three months—the wife of a man she loathed. She was calling in her heart for him to come to her. She was suf- fering in that unspeakable hell. All this lie had come to feel and shudder over in his unspeakable loneliness. He would go to her. There could be no wrong in loving her, in being near her, in standing by her in those hours of desperation. A copy of a London- newspaper stuffed away in the recesses of his trunk, dated Tune 29, had come to him by post. It contained the telegraphic details of the brilliant wedding in Thorberg.

"He and the marchioness are in London at pres- ent Left Paris a month ago." "What? The house Is closed?" in deep anxiety. "I think not. Servants are all there, 1 dare say. Their place 'adjoins the Brabetz palace. The princess is his niece, you know." "You say the Brabetz palace is next door?" demanded Chase, steadying his voice with an effort. "Yes—the old. Flatu•elem.t mansion. The princess was to have been the so- cial sensation, of Paris this year, She's a wonderful beauty, you know." "Was to have been?" "She married that rotten Brabetz last June, but of course you never heard of it out there in what's -the - name -of -the -place. You may have heard of his murder, however. His mistress shot him in Brussels"— "Great God, man!" gasped Chase, clutchene his arm in a grip of iron. "The Itvil, Chase!" cried the other, amazed. "What's the matter?" "He's dead? Murdered? How— when? Tell me about it!" cried Chase, his agitation so great that James looked at him in wonder. "Gad, you seem to be interested!" "I am! Where is she—I mean the pnincess and the other woman?" "Cool off, old man. People are star- ing at you. Brabetz was shot three weeks ago at a hotel in Brussels. He'd been living there for two months, more or less, with the woman. In fact, he left Paris almost immediately after he was married to the Princess Gene- vra. The gossip is that she wouldn't live with him. She'd found out what sort of a dog he was. They didn't have a honeymoon, and they didn't attempt a bridal to.tur. Somehow they kept the scandal out elf the papers. Well, he hiked out of Paris at the end of a week, just before the 14th. The police had asked the woman to leave town. He followed. Dope fiend, they say. The bride went into seclusion at once. She's never to be seen any- where. The woman shot him through the head and then took a fine dose of poison. It was a ripping news story. The pneminence of the"— "This was a month ago?" demanded Chase, trying to lis something in his mind. "Then it was after the yacht left Marseilles With orders to pick me up at Aratat." "What are you talking about? Sure it was, if the yacht left Marseilles six weeks ago. What's that got to do with it?" "Nothing. Don't mind me, Arch. Pm a bit upset." "There was talk of a divorce almost before the wedding bells ceased ring- ing. The grand duke got his eyes opened when it was too late. He re- pented of the marriage. Tbe princess was obliged to live in Paris for a cer- tain length of time before applying to the courts for freedom. Gad, I'll stake my head she's happy these days!" Chase was silent for a long time. . He was quite cool and composed wheu ble names seemed endless to him, the flower of the world's aristocracy. How he hated them! The next morning Selim aroused him from his fitful sleep, bringing the news that a strange vessel had arrived off Aratat. Chase rushed out upon his veeanda, overlooking the little harbor. A long, white, grateful craft was lying in the harbor: He stared long and intently. at the trim craft. "Can I be dreaming?" he muttered, passing his hand over bis eyes. "Don't Ile to me, Selim! Is it really there?" Then be artered a loud cry of joy and started off down the slope with the speed of a race horse, shouting in the frenzy of an uncontrollable glee. It was the lIarquis of B.'s white and blue yacht. * * * * * * Three weeks later Hollingsworth Chase stepped from the deck of the yacht to the pier in Marseilles. Tbe next day he was in Paris, attended by the bewildered and almost useless Se- lina. An old and valued friend, a cam.' paigner of the wartime days, met bim at the Gare de Lyon in response to a telegram. "I'll tell you the whole story of Oa - pat, Arch, but not until tomorrow," Chase said to him as they drove to- ward the Ritz, "I arrived yesterday on the Marquia of B.'s yacht, the Cricket. Do you knoW him? Of course you do. Everybody does. The Cricket was cruising down my way and picked me up—Bowles and roe. The captain came a bit out of his way to call at Arafat, but belied orders of some sort from the martinis by cable, I fancy, to stop off for Me." He did not regard it as necessary to tell his correspondent friend that the Crieket had sailed from Marseilles with but one port in view—Aratat. He did not tell him that the Cricket had come with a message, to him and that he was answering it in person, as it Was intended that he should—ft mes. sage written six weeks before his ar- rival in Prance. There wore many things that Matte did not btplain ae Archibald ,Thu -'s. "Arch, do me a great favor. Look out for Sella) and Neenah. Take 'em to the hotel and see that they get set- tled.

There is only one, way to prevent pneuniotia, and that is to cure the cold just as soon as it :appears. Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup will do this quickly and effectively. Mr. Hugh McLeod, Esterhazy, Sask., writes:—" My little boy took a very severe cold, and it developed into pneumonia. The doctor said he would not lhic. 1 got soine-of your Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup and he began to improve right away. He is now a strong, healthy child, axid shows no signs of it corning back," "I want you for vry husband, dearest., tions. His fare h sitated for a mo- ment, swayed by a momentary indeci- si°"Itittendre," he said finally. The driver adjusted his register and settled back to wait. Theu Chase mounted the steps and lifted the knocker with trembling fingers. He was dizzy with eagerness, cold with uncertainty. She had asked. him to come to her, but conditions were not the same as when,she sent the compelling message. There had come into her life a vital break, a change that altered every- thing. What was it to mean to him? He stood a moment later in the sa- lon of the old Flaurebert palace, vague ly conscious that the room was dark- ened by the drawn blinds and that it /was cool and sweet to his senses. He knew that she was coming down the broad hallway. He could hear the rue• tle of her govrn. Inconseqnently he was wondering whether she would be dressed in black. Then, to his humiliation, he remem- bered that he was wearing uucoutle 'travel soiled garments., She was dressed in white—a house, gown, simple and alluring. There was no suggestion of the coronet, no shadow of grief in her manner, as she came swiftly toward him, her hands extend ed, a glad light in her oyes. The tall man, voiceless with emotion. clasped her hands in his tend looked down into the smiling, rapturous face. "You camel" she said, almost in a whisper. "Yes. I could not have stayed away. I have just heard that you—you are free. You must not expect me to of- fer condolences. It would be sheer hypocrisy. I am glad -1 am glad! You sent for rue—you sent the yacht, Ge- nevra, before—before you were free. I came knowing that you belonged to another. I find you the same as when I knew you first—when I held you 113 my arms and heard you say that you loved me. You do not grieve—you do not mourn. You are the same, nay Ge- nevra—the same that I here dreamed of and suffered for all Ut 0 months Something tells me that 3 uz, t, e descended to my plane. I will not you, Genevra, until you have prouneed to become my wife." She had not taken her eyes from his wiaite, intense face during this long summing up. "Hollingsworth, I cannot, I will not blame you for thinking ill of me," she said. "Have I fallen in your eyes? I wanted yeti to be near me. I wanted you to know that when the courts freed me from that man I would be ready and happy to come to you as your wife. I am not in mourning to- day, you see. I knew you were com- ing. As God is my witness, I have no husband to mourn for. He was noth- ing to me. I want you for my hus- band, dearest. It was what I meant when I sent out there for you—that and nothing else." (VIE END.) The Caribou Is back. Hunters returning from the Mari- time Provinces report that the caribou has returned to its accustomed haunts in those districts. This news was received with a great deal of surprise, for it was believed that this wander- ing animal had deserted the hunting grounds never te. return. The caribou deserted the down east country about 20 years ago, going, it is supposed, to Labrador, Many theories have been advanced, in ex- planation of the migration of these animals, but experts disagree as to the must of their departure. The caribou roams from he north shore of Hudson Bay to the coast of Labra- dor and as far south as the 45th parallel of latitude on -the eastern side of the continent. Sometimes, in mountainous sections, they, will go even fusilier south; A moose or a deer can be tamed easily an cl made a domestic animal, but the caribou is like the partridge—if confined, 'they die; if given liberty, they wander away. Caribou care little for grass, Do not he talked into buying any oth leaves or 'browse, on which the xneeee Norway Pixie Syrup, but insist on getting and the deer subsist.

Among the Cabinet Ministers of the Dominion,: efaclnatla is numbered the Minister Orthwrloterior. From his office at Ottawa he directs those. administrative departments which come under his control. The Depart- ment of Indian Affairs is one cd these. It :; presided over by a Deputy Min- ister and carries on its work through the medium of Indian agents dis- tributed throughout Canticle, and one of the most important duties of each agent consists in "paying off" the In - diem in his district, according to the treaties made at different times in the past between the recImen and the whites. James Henry Pedley in a recent ar- ticle in The Saturday Glebe thus vividly describes such ceremony at Flyiag Post, New Ontario, last sum- mer: "A hush, then at a word from the interpreter a young man detaches him- self from one of the groups and saun- ters forward, tugging at the knot in a bandana handkerchief he carries. This, opened and unwound, he bands to the agent a small blue ticket, which will be found to bear the print- ed words "The James Bay Treaty," and in manuscript the number which is his on the official books and his name, John. Wolf. The books show that last year he -was paid twenty dollars, his offspring numbering three. To find what changes, if any, have taken place during the last twelve months is the task of the interpreter. A short colloquy in Ojibway, then the interpreter turns to announce that, although one of the children died— tuberculosis—in the spring, the family still shelters five ,members and points in explanationto a papoose which its mother is rocking to' sleep nearby. The birth and death duly recorded, the clerk with ostentation counts out twenty dollars into the father's hand and sees them folded up along with the blue ticket in the big red hand- kerchief. The full -bred Indian whe- ther from trustful courtesy or ignor- ance, or both seldom counts the mo-ney we pay him. Honest hi'uself (and no one is more so than be). he has perhaps not learned, thcagh iC has had many an opportunt Y, thai all men are not as conscien'ious 11°''Aisnother summons, and another paterfamilias lounges forward, his halting feet and impassive counten- ance giving one the impression of extreme boredness, but that is the way at h4s race and must be so in- terpreted. The former process is re- peated, except. that this time it is an elderly man who stands before us and his family !Ms grown up. One of his daughters, moreover, has found a husband since last pay-day with whom she, gi).11-lasan,aeforth be paid. This worthy advances next .to receive a ticket (heretofore he has been paid under his father's name) and to have himself set down as the head of a family. Pride—the one emotion which the redskin docs not blush to reveal —shines from his e.ountenance, and it is with a great show of dignity that he takes his eight dollars and bears the sum off to his "woman." "After the family men have all been paid come the widows and the or- phans and the lone old men of the tribe. Here is a woman who last year received twenty-four dollars. But in the early fall, as the family jour- neyed toward the hunting grounds, her eldest son, the provider, wits drowned. None of the others was as yet old enough to hunt successfully.

'Well, you cannot do that with our mace; not even Col. Smith can do it, and t he is a strong man and knows more about the mace than an other per- son hi the land. Our mace is about as long as a stick of cord wood cut for city con- sumption. It is a little taller than e barrel of flour, but not quite so tall as a schoolboy who wears long trousers. Its weight is considerable. You might lift it with ope hand but you would not try to swing it to your shoulder Without thd aid of two. In fact, to handle the mane is no child's play. - All other things being equal—pay included—a man could spend a more comfortable day swinging an axe in the forest than in looking after the mace on .one of those fussy days, when the House of Commons cannot make up its mind whether it wishes to sit as a House with the Speaker in the chair, or as a Committee of the Whole with the Deputy presiding. Back and forth it goes from one to the other, and Col. Smith is kept busy with a sort of Indian club exercise removing the mace from the table and hanging it on the hooks down at the end and then taking it from the hooks and restoring it to the ta- ble. On such a day as that Col. Smith is the busiest man in Ottawa, and When all is over, sometimes about midnight, he has nothing to show for his labor except a wilted collar and a few sparkling bits of gold -dust ground into the palms of his white gloves from handling the great gold- en bauble. Golden it is from top to bottom, but how far through no man knows ex- cept the Sergeant -at -Arms. Gold through and through he evidently be- lieves it to be, judging from the care he takes of it. It certainly looks like solid gold, and it lifts like it, al- though one has to admit that one's experience in lifting huge chunks of pure gold is rather limited. Like alnaost. everything else that shares this world with man, "that pendulum betwixt a smile and a tear," the mace has known troubles, has confronted danger, and has suffered loss. Some seventy years ago all That there was of Canada were the two old Provinces—Upper and Lower Canada —whose Legislature -consisted of a House of Assembly and a Legislative Council. The mace in use in our House of Commons is tl a one that was used in that old House of Assem- bly of United Canada. For a number of years Toronto and Quebec were alternately the seat of Government. The mace became a wanderer, but finally a permanent resting place was found, -when, in 1866, the present Houses of Parlia- ment were completed in Ottawa. Then the mace, when the House was not sitting, was snugly tucked away in a stout little cabinet prepared for it in the Speakees apartments, or tenderly deposited on a green velvet cushion at th'e lower end of the Clerk's table when the Speaker is in the chair, or deposited on two velvet -covered hooks that project from the legs of the table at about a foot below the level of the top. There has been a mace for more than half a century. Around it has grownup the city of Ottawa, changed by the presence of the golden "bau- ble" from little, sawmill settlement o Bytowa into the national capital of our great Dominion. Around the mace has been built up all our federal statutory law, which bound in buff half -calf, looks so pretty on a library shelf, and around it has been debated every policy that dur- ing all these years has tended to make or rear the fortunes of our country. The mace has seen and heard more politics than any -living member of Parliament. What does it thitilCoi it all? No man knows, except possibly Col. Hen. ry Smith, Sergeant -at -Arms, the mace's special guardian and most in- timate friend—and discreet man that he ie. '.a will not tell. Preacher Wins a Wager. "The sporting parson" is the name that all Toronto gives Rev. J. D. Mor- row, the athletic pastor ef Dale Pres- byterian Church, and on a Toronto street car the other day Mr. Morrow gave a very good demonstration of why he holds -the title. Once upon a nine the preacher held the Canadian amateur 100 yards dash record, and this fact is well Iceown. On the street car the other day Mr. Morrow was accosted by a man Who evidently had scant faith in the preacher's fleetness of foot. In plain words be spoke his doubt. Mr. Mor- row is always game, and he -asserted that he was still able to run a bit. "Tut !" said the man. "I can beat yeti myself. 111 bet you 2 for your new church funds that I can beat you in 100 yards." Now, it happens that the preacher is having a hard, time raising the money to put a roof on his church, and that two spot looked good to him. "Done," said he. "Get off the car and we'll run it now." At the next stop they alighted, ran the 100 yards, and Mr. Morrow made it a walkaway. The $2 is now in the church build- ing fund- , wager made and won to the glory of the Lord, as Mr. Morrow puts it. A Puzzle For the Expert.
