alone; save for the °emotional notea of
the birds, the faint flutter of the lean -
ea there was not a sotiad to break the
silence. On the very spot where he
bad stood wnen Stvart uttered his earn-

The minutes sltpoed away, aod it was
not till the chiming of it distant clock
fell on her 'ear that Margery began to
realize how long she had sat and how
late it was. She rose hurriedly and
made her way through the wood to the
path, She ltad her secret to Whisper
to the poor sick mother at home, and
the thought lent speedto her feet. What
joy she would bring to that tender
heart! What happiness to share her
new delights with such it one!
Site ran down the hill, the ripple of
the *streamsounding in her eara like
music, and approached the garden gate,
A lady was imated in the cottage door
way; and, as Margery was hurrying up
the path, he rose and came to meet her.
"Miss Lawson!" evelainaed Margery, in
surprise.
"I have been waiting here nearly an
hour," the governese returned; "your
mother has been extremely unwell,
and-"
"Mother illl" exclaimed Margery, with
a sudden pang. "Oh, let me go to her!"
Miss Lawson. put 'a detaining band
upon the girl'a arm.
'Yon must not oliaturb her; she has
just dropped off to sleep. Reuben has
gone to fetch Doctor Metcalf, and Mrs.
Carter is sitting In -doors to see to her."
Margery's face had grown very sad:
"What is iti" she asked, in a _low
voice. "She was weak when I left her to-
• day, but not more than usual."
"She had a severe fit of coughing, and
it brought on an attack of the hemorr-
hage again; in has stopped now, but it
has left her very weak. You can do
nothing just now, Margery; and. I came
purposely to talk to you."
. Miss. Lawson was a small thin woman
with a quiet determined face, which
from long contact with the world had
grown alneoet stern; but there were
gleams of warmth and kindliness from
the clear gray eyes and a touch even of
tenderness about the mouth sometimes.
Now, though she spoke in her keen dry
may, there was an expression of kind-
ness, almost affection, on her features
as she looked, at Margery. The girl
turned back from the door at once.
"Shall I bring you it chair here, Miss
Lawsenr she asked quietly -this news
of her mother's illness had fallen as a
cloud on the brilliancy of her joy.
. "NO, Come outside and stroll part of
the way home with me," said Miss Law-
son. "1 have something of importance to
'say to you -indeed. I have wanted to
speak to you for several days past; but
1 had nothing very definite in my mind
at the tione. To -day I have."
Margery followed the rectory peer-
-
nese down the path in silence.
"Margery," began Miss Lawson,
abruptly, "have you ever though about
your future? Have you ever thought
what will become of you when Mary
Morris dies?"
Tho flush called up by the first sen-
tence died away quickly, and Margery's
face paled. She put her hand suddenly to
her heart.
"Is she going to die so soon?" she
murmured, involuntarily. "Oh, Miss Lew.:
son, you do not think she will die soonl"
"It is iinpossible to say," returnee the
older woman, quietly. "Mrs. Morris has
been gradually sinking all this summer;
she may linger for months,' or she znay
pass away at any moment. It is not •her
present illness that has caused me to
speak; as I tell you I have intended do-
ing so for days peel. I have considered
it my duty to put matters clearly before
you."
She paused for ail instant, Margery's
face was,pained and sad; her heart was
heavy with sorrow and dread; all sun-
shine seemed suddenly to have gone from
her life, and for the moment, Stuart, her
lover, Was forgotten.
"Perhaps you will think me harsh,"
Miss Lawson went oh, "when Limy that
consider it time you began to plan for
your future life. Remember, you are now
about seventeen, and in another year --
indeed, now -should take upon yourself
the respousibilities a life. Hitherto you

"Yes, you are light." the girl Resent-

greepea the meaning instantly. Her nate

and she felt a thrill ef deeiros to add no

-.Miss Lawson folded the letter slowlY,
and put it back into her pocket.
"That is all," she said quietly. "Now,
Margery, it remains for you to express
•Your feelings."

faintly; her luinde were clasped togeth-

troubled.
-.What must she do? How could she

.stone was precious to her, and where
her heart was bound? Should she speak
openly of her love at once, her future
marriage with the young squire of Crone
bie Castle? The words were on her Bps
--and then she hesitated. Instinetieely
she felt that Miss Lawson would not
approve of the engagement and she
vividly recalled madame's unceasing dis-
like. No, she could not speak of it yet;
it wap so new, So strange; perhaps, after
all, it might not be -and her hands
pressed her heart closely. She would

last thought came as a golden gleam.
"'Mother!" she said hurriedly, 41 eon
not leave her."
"Then you renounce all thought of in-
dependence," she observed coldly, watch-
ing the girl's face with something like a
frown on her own.
"I 'do not," replied Margery firmly.
"I have listened to your advice, n.na
will take it; but. I must first think of
her.. She will mise me, kiss Lotwson-I
know' she will."
"Well," said Mies Lawson, after a
pause, "that is true. It would be ceuel
to leave her now.. I will weite to my

explain why you refuse.'
"You are not moss with me?" Mar-

"Cross? No, my child. 1 Wish it

Lal excitement. As she passed the
woods and the streaM, her thoughts
went back to Stuart, and she felt again
the power of his love. Why should she
have doubted hion? Why not have spok-
en bravely of their love? Had he not

she would seek Miss Lawson, and,

PEACOCKS GETTING SCARCE.
The fed of the Eastern rich of 'hav-
ing peacocks to enhance the beauty
of their parks has just brought people
in this country to realize how scarce
these birds are. 01 Hunter., a local
locate buyer., recently promised a
friend in Pennsylvania that he would
send hint a peacock. When he gave
the promise Mr. Hunter thought • it
woul4 be no trouble t� obtain one,
as a few years ago they were plentiful
in Decatur county.
He started out the other day to
buy the fowl, but. before he succeed-
ed in finding one he drove more than
one hundred miles. Inquiry develop-
ed the tset that peafowls are bought
up as rapidly as possible by the Earn-
erners at fancy prices. Mr. Hunter'e
specimen attracted as much attention
here in •hiscity as some rare bird
from it foreign country, as it was the
first seen here for years.-Greenebury

THINKING AND WALKING:
Montreal Herald.)
The average American never walks,
because he wines it saves time to ride.
Tile average Canadian is about the same,
only pot quite so much so. Therefore
the observation of Mayor Gaynor that he
has always done his best mental work
while walking should appeal to both as
putting rather a new view on the case.
If walking is not a waste of time, but
a help to the profitable enjoyment of it
-and every man who has accustomed
bimself to the exercise knows that that
Is what it is -then perhaps the rushing
trolley car Is not quite so time-saVing as

Just think. they had no autos then,
No show g,lrie to delight the men,
No pipes to smoke and no cigars,
No cocktails oserved at handsome bars.
No bridge to play and no Mak teas,
No liners speeding o'er the seas,
No yellow journals and no flats,
No women's monstrous picture hats,
No tarif problem to attable.
No gowns that button up the back.
No end seat hogs with manners rude,
No monkeying with the price of food.
No ice bills, no cold storage eggs.
No bunco steerers and no Yens,
No trolley cars with clang and whirr,
NO Teddy to keep thinga astir -
Say, is it any wonder that

from which we take the foregoing, tells
us that the nuttier of "Francesca, da

That D'Annunzion grief for his little

denced by hie study to -day, says the

well, D'Annunzio bad him buried, under

of Setignano fails to have his attention
drawn to the little tomb, and on the
writing table, where the salamander took
his ease in happier days, the visitor
will notice a little key in silver gilt in-
closed in a silver coffer. It ie, the key
of the iron door of the tiny tomb.
D'Anntunio, who revels in myths and
legends, does not comprehend why the
salamander shall not yet rise again,

THE SWISS GUARD,
In answer to a question as to the
reason for calling the Pope's body-
guard the "Swiss Guard," a con-
reapondent sans: In short, because
they are natives of Switzerland. The
guard came into being in the reign
of Pope Julius IL, who flaked his
friend Peter van Hertenstein, canon
of Lucerne Cathedral, to send him 200
Swiss men at arms to protect his
person. The assembly at Zurich eon -
stinted to the enlistment of the men,
and in January, 1508, the guard, eom-
mended by a young nobleman, Cu -
per von Silinen, entered the 'Eternal
City.
In the 400 years of its existence the
guard has made an honorable record.
They fought well when fighting was
necessary, but of late deadly weapon*
have beea laid aside and the func-
tion of the body now is to net as a
guard of honer to the Pope. -Froin
