Cyril Maude's Last Play.
The news that Mr. Cyril Mande is
making his last appearance on the
stage in "The Wicked 'Fella" at His
Majesty's Theaere, London, will be a
disepapointinent to his admirers all
over tire oonntry. But he has definite-
ly decided mot to act again,In fact,
after he had promised to take the lead-
ing part in this ,play he tiled to draw
out. He was too old, he said, to pre-
tend to be man of forty, and he had,
dreamed that he came beak and was
a failure. But lie was persuaded to
less that according to the mamuaoript
est the heroine should die. "For Heaven's
of sake let hereive," cried the distracted
father. "She is all I have." So the
concluding chapters were re -cast, the
heroine was permitted to live, and
later Sir TJThasley received a letter to
say the olergyman's daughter had re-
covered, and attributing that, happy re-
sult solely to the influence of 'the
story.

Niagara's Big Voice..
All the way, I had remembered
the tale4►-of the road • of the water,
and now it can be heard /or miles,
but what I heard was only the train,
and even when I stood in Niagara,
within five hundred yards of the
American fall, I hardly beard it;
What I heard was the rapids above
the fall, which are picturesque and
beautiful, in spite of the ice, yet
perhaps nothing out of the way in
the magnificent sense. They are a
rush and a wild crying of rather
clear greenish water amuch broken
by felling enol by rocks and ,by the
big Goat 'Tallied in the middle of the
falls.
I wandered down the stream and
quite soon saw the edge, with the
water going over the edge, and noth-
ing beyond- the edge except the
Canadian shore four hundred yards
away. Just at the edge the water
greened, and went very fast; so I
hurried up right to the rail by the
brink, and as I came within ten
yards (gelling in the direction of the
stream) I heard the fall's big voice,
and then, when I looked over the
edge, it was really terrific. '
It is all heaped and built up belew
with mounds and skulls of giganti
lee, wih icicle teeth in their jaws
These mounds come up halfway th
height of the falls, and the ware
goes down into the chasm anion
them, and ten yards down from t e
edge it ceases to look Iike water, bu
like teased wool , . and out of th
a chasm comes a smoke of water
Infinitely strange and like the gho
of water, and this rises and file
about, overhead and everywhere, an
fills the air with drops, . nd falls on
the trees and freezes three inche
thick.
I crossed over to Canada, and wan
dared on till I could see the Horse
shoe. I suppose the gorge is some
two hundred feet; deep. or more, and
this vast' bulk of ,water topples into

'The fall,; itself is not,"easy to de-

• Ben rose at daybreak, wonderfully
refreshed ay the night's sleep.
His first work was to remove the.
skin of lest'night!e invader—the huge
grizzly that lay dead just outside the
cavern opening.
The hour wase already past ten;
but Beatrice—worn out by the stress
of the night before -did not waken
-until she heard the crack of her pistol.
She lay awhile, resting, -watching

efforts to prepare breakfast.

She opened her "eyes to find him
regarding her with boyish glee. Then
—as a surprise—he proffered the fill-
ed plate.
The days passed quickly for Ben
and Beatrice. They found plenty of
Work and even of play to pass the
time.
,With his axe and hunting knife
Ben prepared a complete set of fur-
niture for their little abode. And for
more than a week, Beatrice was for-
bidden to enter a certain covert lest
she should prematurely discover an
even greater wonder that Ben was
preparing for a surprise.
But one morning she missed the
familiar sounds of his fire -building.
Presently she heard him muttering
and grunting as he moved some heavy
object to the door of the cave.
She hurried into her outer gar-
ments, and in a moment appeared. It
was a hammock, suspended on a stout
frame, to take the place of her tree -
bough bed on the cave floor. He had
used the grizzly skin, hanging it with
unbrcakable.sinew, csed fashioning it
in such a manner that folds of the
hide could be turned over her on cold
nights.
Reading the gratitude in her eyes,
Ben's lips broke into a radiant 'smile.
"I guess you've forgotten what day
it is,"' he said. '
"Of course. I hardly know the
month."
"I've notched each day,' you know.
And maybe you've forgotten—on the
ride out from 'Showy Gulch --we
talked of birthdays. To -day is„.yours."
He walked toward her, and her eyes
could not leave his. He bent soberly,
and brushed her lips with his own
Lately rends had taken to wander-
ing into the forest at night, and once
his throat and jowls had been stained
with dark blood. •
"It's getting too tame for you here;
old boy, isn't it?" Ben said to him onh
hushed, breathless night, "But wait
just a little while more. It won'.: be
tame then.",
It was true: the hunting party, if
they had started at once, must be
nearing their death valley by now.
Matters reached a crisis between
Fontes and himself one still, warm
night in late July.
"Go .:ahead if . Feu like," Ben told
him. "God knows it's your 'destiny,"
The wolf seemed to understand,
With a glad bark he sped away and
almost instantly ;vanished into the
gloom. na
But Fenris had not brolcen all ties
with the cave. ' The chain was too
strong :for that. Fends had joined

'But even as these thoughts carne to
her she had walked boldly to, the fire
and emptied the "ecutents of the cup
into the boiling water"in the teapot.
Then she took the pot off the fire
and poured the hot contents into the
cup that had just held the potion. She
brought it steaming to Ben's side.
"It's pretty strong, I'm afraid," she
told him. "The leaves weren't very
good, and I boiled them too long. I'm
afraid you'll find it bitter."
"I'll, drink ity if it's bitter as gall,"
he assured her.
His hand reached and seized the
handle of the cup.
Then she seemed to writhe, as, in a
convulsion. Her voice rose . iri a
piercing scream, "Ben—Ben—don't

She reached and knocked the sop'
from his hand; and its biack'contents,
like dark blood, stained the sandy floor
of the cavern.
"Never mind, Beatrice," the man
was saying, his deep, rough voice
gentle as a woman's, "Don't cry just

Canada Now Fourth Greatest
• Tea Drinking Country.
Each Canadian drinks over four
pounds of tea per year, or practically
five times as much as our American
cousins to the south of us. Great
Britain (including Northern Ire-
land) leads the world in point of con-
sumptiolt by using yearly over 400
million pounds (nearly S?ti pounds
per capita). Then comes the United
States with 100 million, but only
9-l0ths of a pound per capita. Next
comes Australia with 49 million and
Canada with SG million. No reliable
statistics are available for China or
Russia. Both these countries con-
sume a.large amount of tea, but the
per capita figure is very small.
A great deal more tea would be
used on this continent if the public
were educated to demand fresh tea.
Old tea is flat and Unpalatable.
Telt is a very delicate vegetable
growth, which deteriorates unless
kept sealed. A bottle of ginger ale
soon loses its flavor if exposed to the
air. This is exactly what oceans in
the case of tea.
