"If I remember my history, he died in

"Oh, no, excellency!" she cried ear-
nestly.
"She is very close mouthed, sahib,"
added Selim, with conviction.

us next week," went on Chase dream-
ily. "We'll leave Japat to take care

Now, run in. I want to be alone."
Thesteleft bira, and he threw himself
upon the green sod, his• back to a tree,
his face toward the distant chateau.
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. Every royal family in Eu-
rope was represented. The list of no- at last he turned to Us friend.

a savage just now, and I'm correspond-
ingly timid."
His friend stared at him for a mo-
ment.
"I can save you the trouble ef going
to the marquis," he said. "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.

rival in Prance. There wore many

SEVERE COLD
DEVELOPED INTO
PNEUMONIA
DOCTOR SAID tIE WOULD
NOT LIVE.
9 . 4
Next to consumption there are more
deaths from pneumonia than from any
other lung trouble.
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

Syrup and he began to improve right
away. He is now a strong, healthy child,

"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,

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.
The tubercule orb breeds fast in a
*Wide wigwam, and it delights to prey
on ill -nourished bodies, With the
spring the mother returned from the
bush—alone; her hand shook as she
took the four dollars given her, and
hobbled back to sit silent among the
jabbering equates. Many are the bash-
fr. yeungeters &egged forward by

to a pawn shop in your pocket. '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.

when driving at forty miles an hour
he could, if necessary, pull up in ten

how my tormenters -would be taken

there would be no more danger to
them than that to which they were
exposing me in their reckless fooling.
'The great mese of foliage made the

"The next instant there was anoth-

wind of fury. He turned' half round
and greeted hie mlemies with one ter

the forest at a ';ace which made it
idle to pursue {inn.
"The men seemed almost to think
that I had conjured up the panther
for the occasion. I thanked them
most fervently for coining to my res-
cue with such whole -hearted good will
and promised them that if ever agaile
I got into a tree with a panther I
would send for them at once." ,
• "Drop In AnyTime."
One of the pitfalls of friendship Id
the standing infitation. It is easy and
pleasant to say: "Cenae whet:Lever ,yatil
like, aiy dear; We shall be delighted
to see you at any time; don't standeoli
ceremony—come whenever you are th.td
way." But let those who receive sued
invitations beware. It stands to real,
son that an unexpected visit cannot
always be convenient—the hostesa
in the midst of something or other and
"not fit to be seen," or her husband_
has rushed home to take her out som4e-
where and she would rather go nazi
stay at home and entertain her dearest(
friend, or the luncheon or the dirtnee
is a makeshift—very nice, so far an
the family is concerned, but not ex.
actly suitable to set before risitots.
The hostess tries to be nice, but can't
help showing her vexation or embar-
rassment, The guest perceives some-
thing indefinable in the atmosphere
and is accordingly constrained, an
every one is uncomfortable. Yet pecie
pie still go, on giwing and accepting, •
standing ineitetions.—New York Tribe
