An insurance official says: "Men folloeving such dangerous pursuits cannot pessibly get accident insurance. There are men in vocations far less risky who cannot get insurance against acci- dent." The frequency of automobile ac- cidents give the insurance men enough worry without trying to adapt their business to aviation. - Rev.

To an interviewer be wad: it may be truly said that most of the people don't care a jot for .the political propaganda started by a few jenglish spealcing natives in large cities.

It runs into large figures. Of one -cent stamps, 4,024,000,000 are estimated for, the amount of two -cent stamps called for amounting to 5,322.300,000. For use in slot machines provision is made for the printing of 29,900,000 one -cent and 50,- 200,000 two -cent stamps. Of the total number of stamps 168,800,000 of the mite cent denomination and 330,806.000 nf the two -cent denomination will be put up in book form. There is $668,662 lying unclaimed and earning no interest in the vaults of the Canadian chartered banks.

Kensington, or Nest Hill—and, even then, how write to her to, arrange a meeting? He could not disguise his writing, bet the postmerk, if by chewy, Prank or Helen saw it, would look odd to them, since they were arsre that the only person at Grass-Rowtou Chris- tine knew was himself, and as they also knew why she had left Dr. Clifford's, what more likely than that they sbould jump to the suspicion that he was the man she had met in the park? He must -wait till she wrote and then trust to Rahmeee's wita 4 con- vey a letter, or see her and arrange a meeting. He must see her alone at first, not as a mere friend before others. The hours dragged on, but no one came near the open office, He had not expected any ono would; but a little be- fore four o'clock, when he • fetched round his horse and fastened him up by the door in thadiness, he saw that groups were gathering on the Waste. "One quarter of an hour only, my friends," he said. to himself, "and your chance is gone. I am ready for you, al, though if you interfere—doesn't matter if you do, as far as that goes—the lock- out is the fact, ot a shut or open gate." Ho waited in the office till the big clook high up outside in the front be- gan striking four; the nhe came out with the keys in his hand. A. glance told him that the group had swelled into a crowd, and as he shut the door and locked it, a shout, half derisive, half angry, mingled with hisses and. groans, friends," lie said to himself, "and your (thanes is gone. I am ready for you, al- though if you interfere --doesn't matter if you do, as far as that goes—the lock- out is the fact, not a shut or open gate." Then there was a surge, and a burst master, slipping the bridle over his arm,- and walking composedly across the yard to the gates, passed out, and de- liborately shut the open one Of the two --it was a double gate. Then there was a surge ,and a burst of hooting and hisses also, in the midst of which St. Maur locked the gate and leaped to his saddle, checking at once the joyous bound forward of the mettlesome animal. In that moment a btack-browed, for- bidding -looking fellow strode a few paces forward, and called out, with a kind of savage derision: "What it we was to say 'Open those gates, and we'll come in—four advance'?" "Too late now, my man, if you meant it fifty times!" said St. Maur, with cool emphasis and distinctness. "I told you all four o'clock, and four o'clock has struck. The strike is it lock -out now.'' He put his horse to an easy trot, lift- ing his hat with a grave irony as he rode past the crowd, which broke into a storm of hooting, and, after he had pass- ed, into something of a rush, and a tol- erable number of stones, which fell far short of the rider, who, with a contempt. nous laugh, went on Ms way. His week was done; he would stay a week at the Chase, if he could endure the stagnation so long. If!

Addison sent an acceptanee to Colonel Darnley, who bad also despatched by post another letter of invitation to former acquaietance—Mr. Orde—which reached its destination that evening late, when he and his nephew were cbattinn and smoking cigarettes after dinner. "Peecy Geoff. Darnley remembering my existence," said Will Orde, evidently pleased. "I knew him some years ago, when you ever° in Texas, or California, or some wild region. You'd better come, too, dear boy. I ant sure I may take you. He would certainly have asked you if he had known of your existence in England.", Falconer snook his head; he was in no ntooa—nor likely to be—to play the agreeable, and laugh and talk, when his heart ached to an agony of path. "No; thanks all the same, Uncle Will, and with the temper of some of those fellows down yonder, it is as well we ehouldn't both be quite out of the way. Tacre might be a riot, or an attack on the works to wreck the machinery." "Well,.

When Mrs, Errington reached Gorst station it was nearly a quarter to sev- en, but she met with greater success than elle had expeetcti in discovering the lace imam, n, widow, who was only too glad to have en order which she knew would be liberally paid for. Me insisted on the lady taking some refresh, ment, and set out fruit, rich mille, bread and butter, When Christine left the cottage it was barely half -pest seven, and finding on inquiry that no down -train stopped till eight, she' turnea back and strolled a little way, A turn in the lane brought her in view of the pretty clump of trees where Rahmnee had just seated himself, and the next moment the two, so strangely brought to the seine spot, saw each other. "Ralunnee," the woman said, underher breath, her heart giving a wild bound, "is he near, then?" "Ah, burn, salaam, mem-sahib!" The Hindoo's dark face was aglow with utter surprise and joy, "No, the Bahib is alone; he sent me here to post letter to yourself. I do it. I wait to return. The sahib is alone." . "How do you mean, Ralunnee?" Ralminee explained that Mr. Orde was 'dining at Lynton, and the servants all absent. at a wedding eance in Grass- Rowdou. While he spoke, the rougli. voices behind the paling reached them, and some words from the 'woman that sent every drop of blood back ou Chris- tine's very heart. "Yez, I tell ye; he'll be just caught to -night like a rat in a trap. It's his hand that's locked out, as sure as yer my brother Bill, Pll tell ye, 'cause my man's one that's going." Christine whispered: - (*Hush! I will explain directly; there is denger to the sahib." The two who loved Falconer St. Maur best on earth, stood like statues, listen- ing, the Hindoo eagerly watching his mistress' face as she listened to th.e harsh vernacular of the woman's speech. When it ceased, the woman who heard lifted her hands up with a passionate gesture. "Heaven above! give me power to save him!" Then she grasped Rahrunee's wrist, and drew him quickly away round the turn of the lane. It was dark now. "Listen!" she said in low'quick, but firm. tones. "There is no time to be lost. That woman is the wife of the worst of the men on strike. She has come over to see a brother. She tells him that fifty or more of these men, learning that the sahib would be alone :to -night, have secretly plotted to go, attack the house, get at nim, and, if he will not agree to grant their insolent de- mands, kill bim.

Never mind me. I shall get to him. Tell me the way from Grass - Bowdon Station to the Ohase," Rahmnee gave her minute directions, and they parted just by the little sta- tion—he to ride for life or death to Lyt- ton; she to get a train, and this was the reply to her question: • "Only one more train to Grass-Rowden to -night, mad that don't stop here till nine -forty-five, and. the horse at the inn is lame."

And when the arrangement was made known, Mrs. Bland's gratetude • was warm. It was just like Mr. Falconer, and she only hoped the next wedding would be his; which wish she repeated herself to her young master on the eventfold. Mon- day morning. He smiled half sadly at the wish; it flight of steps was the tall, graceful figure of St. Maur, the sun glinting on his burnished gold -bronzed locks, and at his side his Indian fidus Aehate. As the carriage disappeared, Falconer turned quickly to him. "Rahmnee, a sudden thought has struck me—how to get a letter to madame where the postmark will be wide of this place. Ten miles from here, down the line, there is a small piece called Gorst: it lies between this and Nest Hill. Well. you can ride over there direetly afzer your tee and post my letter." "I can start now, if the sahib chooses," said. Rahmnee. "No, no; plenty of time if you start at six or little after. Order the best stayer in the stable to be ready at six. Ride easy, and. rest before you start back." Rahmnee retired, and St. Maur went to write his letter—in a feigned hand, of course—and an hour later his faithful follower rode off with it. - At half -past seven the letter was post- ed in the village—it was little more—of Gorse; and. the Hindoo, leaving his horse at the inn, strolled away to the out- skirts'where a fine group of trees skirt- ing, he found the high palings of a cot- titge-garden or outhouse, attracted hire. Within or liehina the paling he heard vcrices talking—two men and a woman's —but the rough tones and broad native dialect made their talk almost as un- intelligible to the Hindoo as his tongue would have been to them.

On the evening of the very same day 'on -which St. Maur had reached Grass- Rowdon his young wife and Helen Addi- son arrived at Nest Hill; but it was not till the second day after—that is, on the eighth—that Christine could get the opportunity to post a letter to her hus- band, and that was in the afternoon, riding out with the major and Helen. "When I received your letter," the few lines ran, "1 eame here at once with 11., to be neat you. I have my former room, but how or where we cart meet in the country I know not.

"Well, he ean do with a net and a. second breakfast, after a longish ride, I dare say," said the niftier. "See to it, Thomas, and I'll ring when I've written the reply." The footman retired.

We tried soaps and powders and salves, but he got no better. He refused his food, got quite thin and worn, and was reduced to a very serious condition.' I was advised to try Zam-Buk, and did so. R was wonderful how it seemed to cool and ease the child's burning, painful skin. Zam-Buk from the very commencement seemed to go right to the spot, and the pimples and sores and the irritation grew less and less, Within a few weeks my baby's skin was healed completely. He has now not a trace of Irash, or eruption, or eczema, or burning sore. Not only so, but cured of the tor- menting skin trouble, he has improved in general health."

In the Channel Islands it is estimated that an acre of daffodils should yield over 500,000 flowers, and if they fetch three halfpence a dozen—they often fetch c.onsiderably more—the gross value of the crop would be over £260. Though English, growers, coming later into the market, must be content with a Tower price, there should still remain a very handsome profit. indeed, it would be difficult to suggest any other crop which would be likely to show an equal profit for the.same oualay.—London Graphic. .• • Three packets of Wilson's Fly Pads cost twenty-five cents, and will kill more flies than twenty- five dollars' worth of sticky paper. • 0 Sprinkling a Trestle.
