But possibly another arrest for debt!" she answered, to beraelf, "another arrest for debt!" TWO wee the very worst she feared tor him. The idea of such a calamity as death In a duel never once entered her mind. "And If be were arrested for debt, he would send Me word.

Ch, my poor Charley, how inucle troeble you do give me, ray dear!" Sq, waiting, sighing and gently 2omplaining, Molly passed the day. Evening canae, and the children were called hi from their play in the gar- den, to get their supper of milk and, bread, and be put to bed. Bet their mother interPosed on thie occasion. -- "I don't want them to go to bed until their father comes in. Remem- ber that they haven't seen him since yesterday Inernine. Give them their supper and then wasb end dress them niacely, and bring them le here to wait till their papa comes," she said to the young nurse, as she took her place at the front parlor window_ to wait for the early evening trains, as en the preceding evening she had watched from her bedroom ' window for the late night trains. After a. while the children, nicely' dressee, and delighted with the privil- ege of sitting up for papa, jeined her there, and half distracted her imbed from her anxiety with their innocent prattle. The gas was lighted in the parlor, h.our after hour passed, train after train came shrieking and thundering into the station, and went shrieking and thundering out again, and still he came not. Anxiety was just beginning to be insupportable again, when the sound of carriage wheels was heard in the lane, approaching the house, "That's Charley, at last! Poor fel-. low! he must have been quite ill, to have to get a cab to come from the sta- tion in! Children, papa has come!" said Molly, jumping, up as the carriage stopped at the gate. But at that moment little Lily pull- ed a flower -stand over on herself, and her mother stopped to pick both up, which occasioned a few moments' de - day, at the end of which the foung nurse, Bessy Morris, opened tho door and naively announced: "A lady has come in a cratiage to see Mrs. Faulkner." Molly started with surprise. A lady to eee hey! Such a very unusual cir- zumstance! Weeat could. the lady want? And at such an hour, too? Oh, she must be someone come to her from dear Charley! Dear Charley was too ill to catne home, so he had sent Lor her! Or else he was arrested for debt, and he had sent for her all the ea,mel concluded poor Molly, as a spasm of terror for Chaxley's safety seized her heart, and in some degree prepared her forewhat she had to hear. Alt this occupied bile an instant of time. "Did the lady give her name, Bes- ey?" inquired Mrs. Faulkner. "No, ma'am. When I asked her for It she said I need only to say that a Lady wished to see "Where have you shown her?" "Please, ma'am, 1 haven't shown her anywheres. She's standing at the hall door yet." • "Oh, Bessy! how stupid of you to leave any lady standing at the hall door! Never do such a thing again! now her in at once!" said Mrs. Faulkner, impatiently, and trembling, but more with alarm than from any other cause. The little nurse retiree for a mos tnent, and then ushered in the visitor. Mrs. Faulkner turned, and saw etanding before her a graceful young woman, elegantly dressed in black. The lady threw aside her veil, reveal- ing a lively young face, lighted by large ,tender, hazel eyes, and shaded by golden -brown curling, hair. "It is Pee, Damm er! ' cried little Lily. "Jray-ee Demmer!" exclaimed Ada. "Fairy Grandma!" eaid Charley. And tho three children ran to her and seized her skirts. "This lady is our Fairy Grandmoth- er, inemnsa," explained little Mary, as she went up to the visitor and do- mnrely offered her hand. Yes, it was Angela Mettles, the banker's young wife, Molly's hatod stepmother, the children's "Fairy Grandmother." What had brought her here? We must go hack and see. CHAPTER VIII. About three hours before her visit to Mrs. Faulkner, Angela Mettles had come in from her afternoon drive, and had gone to her room to dress for din- ner. As was her frequent custom, She sat dowe before her dressilag-glass with the evening paper in her band that She Might look over it while her maid was tombing her hair. On this occasion, while glancing down the columns of the paper, she suddenly started and hurriedly ex- claimed: "Put up my hair in any sort of way, Mary, as quickly as you tan, and hahd me Iny dressing -gown. This Is most horrible." "What has happened, dear madam? I hope nothing,dreadful has happerie ed," Weld the maid impulsively, as she hastily gathered up her lady's golden brown ringlets and put them into a net. Mrs. Mellise Was trenabling too Much to answer. She drew on the dressing-0We handed her by Mary, and taking the paper trout -the floor where it had dropped, she hurried With it to her husband's room. The banker- was uhder 'hie valetee hands. "Send your Man away, Walter, dear, I must Speak to you," said Angela, dropping fete a chair. London, Oct, 18.—"Will Britain be 'evaded by air?" This is the enestiOn on the lies of the people of this country since the arrival of the Ger- wan -hosts in close proximity to the 'British shores. , An anti -German out- break at Deptrord, the activity of the authorities regarding Austriau and German residents who lime hitherto been regarded as harmless, and the reports on various German -owned factories indicate a certain nerveus- ness, whichmay easily develop into more serious. outbursts of feeling. There is no doubt that the Germans have planned to reach Loudon by means of aeroplane. They have Iscasted that their .seventy-five Zep- pelins would !suffice to "lay eggs on London," but the opinion of British aviation experts and airmen who are now patrolliug the sky is that any such euterprise is doomed to failure. It is stated by a Sundai?' paper, The People, that the Government is in possession et a new invention, an in- cendiary bullet, which can be fired from an ordinary rifle, and which im- mediately it. strikes an airship sets the gas afire. This Invention can be applied to Maxims and other guns as easily as it c,an to a rifle. Hiram Maxim, the inventor, in a statement to -day, said he had no fears of the result of a Zeppelin raid, we - daily in view of the nature of the Weather to be expectedthis winter. .He is convineed, he said, that it woutd cost the Germans more than $5,0e0,000 to destroy property valued at half that amount in London by means of Zeppelins. la order to hurl their bombs with anything like accuracy they would have to descend to an alti- tude at which they would be within range of guns. A raid by Zeppelins or aeroplanes might be annoying, said Mr. Maxim, and might result in the killing of a few innocent people, but an air bombardment would be an extremely feeble affair. Another view is taken by William JOyneOrt-Hicks, a member of Parlia- ment. Mr. Joynson-Hicks says that although the Zeppelins are quite capable of flyine from their base in Heligoland and '• Wilhelmshaven, he has information that Germany has several movable airship sheds e hich can be transported to the coast and re -erected within a mouth. In his opinieti there is special danger 'to docks, wbich it would be impossible for the air craft to Mise.

"Oh! Never mind about dinner, Jane! I cannot think about that now! Mary 'Compton, go and use your own judgment in the matter," said the lady. The next servant who came to the door announced Mrs. MeRiss' broug- ham, and the lady being quite ready for her drive went downstairs. She found her husband in the hall: his wife, as he placed her Usher car- riage. "Be very, very prudent in your mis- sion, my dear Angela!

"I will do my very, best," replied his wife, as he placed her i nher car- riage. His own ordered fly was ',waiting. And his servant was standing'by with his hat, gloves and shawl. So he took leave of his wife, closed the carriage door, and told her mach - man to chive to Sydenham. "Leave the room, John," said the banker, takieg the lutirbrush frota the servant's hand, "Now, then, What ft! it, 'My love?" he inquired, as soon es the man had gone.

"I come from your faller," nuir- muded the banker's young wife, tn some embarrassment. "I am aware of that, dear, madatn. I am also aware that you have often come from nay dear father, and that .youshave been the trusted edium of countless benefits from him,to me end iny children, though I have,never had the pleasure of seeing yeti before, or even of bearing your name.

Mrs. Mettlesaccepted the offered eseat just as Rachel Weed, recovering from her agitation, entered the room. "Ah, Rachel, yoe here! I am very glad to see you. You have just come in good time. I am sure you know this lady. I wish you to Introduce her to me, since she does not introduce Ler- self. She comes from my father again, dear Rachel," /said Mrs. Faulkner, eaferly. "Madam, have I your permission to tell, at last?' inquired Rachel. Mrs. Mentes nodded assent. She /was too much disturbed to speak. Rachel turned to Mrs. Faulkner, who ,was waiting impatiently. 'Madam." she sale, "this lady vlsi- 'tor of yours, who calls herself your ebildrene. _Fairy Grandmother, and who has been your benefactress from the beginning., and who is now the best friend you have in the world— this lady, madam, is Mrs Mellis, the wife of your father!'

"Yes, dear Mrs. Faulkner, I am your !father's wife, and his daughter's tfriend," gently answered Angela.

FEATS WITH THE CAMERA. Difficult to Snap Past Moving Ob- jects at a Given Point. Only an expert, and he only after much practice, can take a photograph of a rapidly moving object at a pre- determined point—for example, an ex- press train with the cowcatcher just at a white chalk mark on a tie or a baseball at the instant the ball strikes. The reason for this is two -fold: First, there is a certain appreciable time ,between the mental decision to do a thing. and the acteat doing of it; second, it takes a certain -appreciable time for the impulse given by press- ing the button or squeezing the bulb of a camert to travel to the shutter and open it. The latter may in a very fine camera be only one-ffth of a sec- ond, but even the fiftieth of a second In a train going 100 feet a second would mean a difference el! two feet. C. H. Claudy, id an article in the Camera., says that not more than once in four attempte will even an expert catch the precise instant be is seek- ing. The average man snaps his camera at the moment the ball is striking the club or racquet, and by the time his shutter has worked the ball has gone A tennis ball travels nearly a mile a minute when struck hard. That is ninety-six feet a sec- ond, so in a lag of one-tenth of a sec- ond between the ssine of the but- ton andthe op ,ig of the shutter the ball will move nearly ten feet, and ordinary cameras work no faster than this. So one need not wonder .if even exports fall. • - • CAIN, There's Many a man in flaring hell • For a ;dingle twist o' the knife; There's Marty a eaten prison cerrise That keeps his cell foe lift; But there's none will stand 13y the man who planned With a Pit -perverted elcill To mint ...he world with a German die - At the price of a million -kill!

Sodium phosphate baa been suggested as an antidote to mer- curic chieride because it acts as a re - clueing agent to convert mercuric chlo- ride into calerael—mercurous chlor- ide—while the pbosphite is changee to phosphate. Sodium phosphate will have no suck actiou on mercuric cblo- ride becatiee it is already as Ingbly oxidized as possible." Canadian fall weather is extreinety hard on little ones.

(Philadelphia Record) Mr. •Roosevelt is the only American statesman who ever felt It necessary to warn his countrymen against the ener- vating influences of peace, and exhort them in the spirit of Von Bernhardi'm famous book to preserve their "fighting edge." And we presume he is the only statesman of this or any other country who is capable Just at this thne of draw- ing from the European conflict the les- son that we must keep ourselves well armed. and the other lesson, that we Must be very cautious about tying our- selves up wkil peace treaties that might interfere with our fighting for "right- eousness." The almost universal comment on the European war is that it expledes the favorite theory of Mr. Roseyelt that neace is to be preserved by means of big armies and navies.

(MontrealHerald-Telegraph) Canada has the land to produce a far bigger crop of wheat than she does now. She has also the men. What' is lacking Is the capital to finance the ploughing and cropping of large added areas. Giv- en assistance in this direction, the wheat crop of Canada could easily be increased 50 or even 100 per cent, If we prepare now for such a big crop, next year by far the largest' amount of gold that has ever come to Canada will flow into this where. $700 in Cash CAN BE WON WITH A LOAD OF 15 STEERS AT THE FIFTH ANNUAL TORONTO FAT STOCK SHOW UNION STOCK YARDS, TORONTO - Friday and Saturday Dee, 11th and 12th, 1914 Many other prizes offered.

Record) By far the most dreadful consequence of war is its destruction of the very . flower of a nation, the young men who tight its battles. These are, as a. rule, striplings front 18 to 25 year et age, the pick of its manhood, chosen be- cause they are physically perfect, free from defects of heart, lungs, eye and teeth, and thus able to sustain the fa- tigues of march and conflict. When these young men, the prospective fathers of the suceeeding generation, are killed off by the hundreds of thousands, as is now being the torch of life, the effect cannot but be disastrous in lowering the vitality, both physical and mental, of a nation. In the ware which began w'th the French Revolution and were continued by Na- poleon Bonaparte, eeyering nearly a quarter of a centuryit is estimated that not less than 0.005.000 French soldiers perished -a fe.arful toes. from which that country has never recovered. If the preeent war is long continued it is ine- vitable that the dreadful massacre of Yonne men will have a strong adverse ence on the futures of Germany, France and England especially.

The fighters abroad are carrying out the same idea. Russia, which eas been cursed by the national drink, vodka has stopped Its sale throughout the empire, and, of courpe, Its soldiers do not get the booze. Goint further, the Itussiaus closed the beer shops in East Prussia. Lord Kitch- ener is down on the use of liquor in the British army, and the ehances are that all the soldiers are oa the water wagon Even France does not llow the drinking of wine by her fighting forces, through it is probable that the troops In the champagne district get a little "Joy WS.- tc,r" now and then.
