puzzled, resumed her seat.
A, quarter of an hour ..later they
were seated together at a small round
table, set, like an oasis, in the vast-
ness of the great dining -room, which,
Judy decided,'s,hould be used that
night in honor of the new laird of
Stair. She had taken great pains with
the table, which showed a mass of ex-
quisite spring 'tiowers,; such as are
grateful to eyes that have not looked
upon their like for years.
They werewaited upon by a maid-
servant because, after her father was
compelled to spend most of his time!
upstairs, Judy began to practice strict 1
domestic economies, and hadconstant-
ly reduced the household at Stair. But
to -night she felt that there , ought to
have been a pian behind Alan's chair,
and the question she put,'presently,
crystallized her thought.

"What have you done with Denis.
O'Rourke, Alan? 1 made sure you
would bring Denis with you."
"He's coming," said Rankine, with a
nod and a smile. "I sent him home to
Connemara, via Holyhead, just to get
a' peep at his father and mother. But
he'll be here by Ardrossan, I don't
doubt, in the course of a few days."
"And you mean to keep him here?"
"Why,' yes; I suppose so. You see,
I'vegot used to Denis,° and. he'll be a
your heart.We could

do with him here, couldn't we? He's
an excellent servant. There isn't any-
thiug under heaven he doesn't know
something about."
As he spoke, his eyes significantly
followed the tablemaid as she left the

Abraham's Birthplace,
A temple has been found at 13r, In
Mesopotamia,. by British and 'Ameri-i
can explorers, which is claimed to be
the oldest building in the 'world. ' It
wrs built by King A-an-ni-pad•da, who
reigned about 4,500 years before the
birth of Christ. and the building is thus
about 6,500 years old. Ur was the aa -
tire place of Abraham and tho city of
Nebuchadnezzar.
Interesting details of the excava-
tions at 17r are given by Mr. C. Wool-
ley, leader of the joint expedition of
the British Museum, and the Univer-

has made the discoveries,
The little temple is at Tell el Obeid,
about four miles from Ur. Mr, Wool

"A. broad flight of stone steps led

south corner of which"stood the tem-

the stairway, its facade set hack from
the edge of the platform so as to

of statues of hulls sculptured in the

"These stood some 3 ft. high, and

to be.
I He assented, apparently well pleas-
edand when they entered the queer,
octagon -shaped place, with its medley
of furniture and odds and ends, a
strange look crept over his face.
"Judy, you're the most understand-
ing woman 'creature it has ever been
my lot to meet!" he said, with a catch
in his voice. "If youhad lain awake
nights, planning it, you couldn't have
thought of anything better for to-
night."."
She smiled happily, paused a mo-
ment to ;fasten more securely the posy
at her belt, then, drawing in the old
basket -chair, which iiad been the
favorite bed for the dolls of long ago,
she sank into it with a fluttering lit-
tle sigh.
"Mary will bring the coffee here,
and I'm going to do nothing but lazy
now, Alan. You can do the talking."t
Alan got out a pipe and began to
get tobacco ready, while he told of
his visit to Glasgow and his talk with
the lawyers. He had nothing to: tell
her which Judy did not know already.
"And then you came down with
Peter, and where have you been since
—at The Lees?" asked Judy, watch-
ing with pride and untold' affection
every movement of the long, graceful
figure on the opposite side of the fire-
place.
"No, you can't guess. Peter took
me to the Clock I-Iouse to introduce me
to his fiancee."
Judy sat forward instantly, vividly
interested.
"He did? Well, and what do you
think of her? I am interested to hear;
because, you know, I' admire her most
awfully and like her as wen. I am
quite sure I am looking forward to
having her at The Lees,"
"I've seen lots of women, Judy,"
said Alan, deliberately, "but I've never
seen anybody like her."
"For beauty, do you mean" She is
very beautiful, isn't' she?" asked Judy
wistfully, "and a very unusual type.,'
"For beauty, and other things; and,'
if you could tell me how Peter got in

Railway Built by Doctors!
The most wonderful, and at the
same, time the most isolated, railway
in the world is in South America. It
begins and ends twothousand miles
from civilization.
The terminus of steam navigation up
the Amazon and its mighty tributary,
the Madeira River, is at Porto Velho,
two thousand miles • from the sea.
Here the Madeira.Manmore. Railway
begins, carrying the traveller and his
merchandise past two hundred ands,
fifty miles of cataracts and rapids to
the navigable rivers of -Bolivia.
The task of getting European goods
into north-eastern Bolivia used to be
gigantic, It took six months, and
eveiy, pound had to be carried on the
hacks of natives to escape the rapids.
The railway was begun as long ago as
1874, but it had to be abandoned, be-
cause every sleeper laid- cost a life.
It was 'only when medical science `1
stepped in to -help the engineers that
the colossal task was accomplished
ten years ago:.
The line was built by the Govern-
went of Brazil. It circumvents nine-
teen cataracts, Starts two thousand
miles from any other railroad, and
ends at a similar . distance in Bolivia.
The great waterways complete the
journey from Atlantic to Pacific. The
Americans say that, it was really built
by "Dr. Lovelace and quinine!'
The Stalwart Heart. •
Give .me always a goal to try for;
Let me fight till my breath be spent;
Give me a dream to live and die for
And I shall be content,
Keep for others your silken leisure,
Drowsy days in. the shade or sun;
I was never a one to treasure
Rest till my work was done.
No, for sloth is the worst of sinning;
Give me the joy and zest of the fray,
Finding my true reward in the win-
ning,
Not in the prize or pay.
And, if victory be denied me, .
I shall not shrink from another teat,
Nor care at all if the fools deride me,
Knowing I did my best,.
Somewhere still there are roads un-
charted;
n-charted;
Somewhere still is an unfound Grail;
Let me go onward, valiant hearted,
To the end of the -last, long trail.
Giveme always a goal to try for;
' Let me toil till mydays be spent;
Give me a dream to fight and die for
And I shall be content!
