"But let us talk of something more cheerful now, Gwen, Who do you think is coaling to see you to- morrow?" "Not Mrs. O'Hara?" said Lady Gwendolyn, looking alarmed. "A very bad guess. Try again." "Pauline?" "Heaven forbid! Will you ,give it up?" "Is it Beatrice Ponsonby?" "No again." "Tell me, then." "Your brother, Reginald." Lady Gwendolyn changed color. "Is it worth while?" `she asked coldly. "Pauline is sure to take care that we do not keep friends long, in case we should compare notes." "You may compare notes as long as you' like; you cannot hurt Pauline more than she has hurt herself." And Sir Lawrence told his wife the miserable, guilty story, knowing quite well that the very idea of Reginald's being in trouble would make his gen- erous, impulsive enerous,<impulsive little wife forget her own wrongs in a moment. And so it was. "Oh, poor Reggie, how very shame- ful and wicked! How could she?— how could she?" was all Lady Gwen- dolyn could ear._ "She promised me. so faithfully she would be a good wife fur the future, if I would not tell my bsther.the truth.". "And perhaps she, meant it all tee time, Gwen; but she had got into the habit of these intrigues, and cotld not live without the excitement. If she had had children she might have been a better woman; but she Gid not care for L. rd Teignmouth from the first, and then he did leave her too much liberty." "I told pini rao once, but he said that a avefe who needed watching was ii'oI•i brth keeping. Then she always pretended to be such a prude." "Bile hadn't that character in the world, I assure you." "But Reginald would be the last to hear of that; and if he had, she would have persuaded him that the women were jealous of her, and so tried to injure her with him. An artful woman can so easily manage her husband." "Indeed!" said Sir Lawrence, laughing; "that is a bad lookout for ale.:, "I am not artful, sir! How dare you speak in that way to baby's mama?" "I see baby's mama is a very im- portant person. I only hope that baby's papa•, is not going to be put entirely aside on his account. I be- gin to, fear lest I have a very influ- ential rival near the throne. If the boy is to divide us, instead of draw- ing us raw-ing`us closer together, I shall wish he had never been born." "You dear, foolish '`man!" she said, understanding perfectly the jealous feeling that prompted this speech. Lord Teignmouth• looked very shamefaced when he first presented himself before his sister, but Lady Gwendolyn soon set him at his ease. She put her arms round his neck, and aid 'heartily: '71 am ed glad to see 'you again, clear old fellopr! Don't let us talk about anything disagreeable." And as he was very glad to be spared, and knew, he should have opportunities of showing what he was. not allowed to say, he gave in at once, and coverers his embarrass- ment by asking to see "our heir." Two days later Sir Lawrence took his wife to Milworth Abbey, where there were tine rejoicings, we may be sure. The house had been use- less to the tieighbodhood, socially speaking, for years, and every one was glad to welcome a brighter reign. Sir Lawrence was already known and liked, and Lady Gwendolyn soon won golden opinions from all sorts of people. The poor almost -worship- ped her. As she often said, since she had lived and nearly lost, she ihust make others the happier for her happiness, or perhaps Heaven would take' her blessing from her, and .she had so many now, she had need in- deed to be grateful. CTtbe End.) Porn -es re end In Bibles. It has ha: pened not infrequently that eccentric wealthy people have concealed' sums of money in the family bible, where it has been dis- covered by chance long after their decrease.

PRICK When the Navajos came up out of the world of twilight into the world of sunshine and light they were very happy, and with one accord they fell on their knees and made sacrifice to the Father Sun who brightened the heavenst and made the world warm and comfortable for the tribesmen. When they had become settled in their new world and had budded their homes and made their . fires, then they planted their crops in order that they might live in comfort, Round about them they planted gold- en maize, and grain and many foods. Their flocks they took into the green fields to eat of the grass, and their horses and their cattle they turned loose to roam in the beautiful valley where they had come. But as the days went on the crops failed, and the grass turned brown andthe streams dried up and the Navajos were much perturbed, for they knew not what to do. For the sun, sweeping through the sky, had come close tq earth, and the heat, which at first had seemed pleasant, became unbearable and evgn tile tribesmen themselves were made sick by the brightness of its rays. Many there were among the tribesmen who wished themselves back in the world of twilight,` but the road had been closed and only a 'great mountain re- 4;:end mark where the roadway had been. ' As the summer came .on many of the tribesmen became sick unto death, for the heat was terrific= -but there was no, place to, go and no place to turn, for all the world was a vast. desert, burned by the rays of;, the Father Sun. As matters became worse and worse the tribesmen became desper- ate and finally, one day, called a great council of the chief and the, head, men and the witch doctors. For ten days -and ten nights these men sat in solemn conclave to determine what best might be done to relieve their oppressed people. Finally, 'at the end of the ten days ' and the ten nights they called the tribe together, and the whole tribe; even the women and the children went to the top of a high hill and :here they built altars and offered up sacrifices, and prayed 'to the Father Sun that he might move back into the heaven; so his rays would not be so hot. When they had prayed for a long terve then the Father Sun sent down .o them a lesser god from the sky, and the lesser god came up to thi chief and the medicine men and told`, them that the sun had heard their eeayer,_ "And so long as you remain faith- ful' to the Father Sun, who provides you with heat and with light, so long will he protect you," the messenger said. "And when another day comes then will the sun move back in the heavens and the grass will grow erecn, and water will flow through the streams, and flowers will bloom, end the land will be a land of happi- ness and prosperity for the Navajos." When he had finished speaking the messenger disappeared , in a great cloud and the people marvelled much and fell on their faces and gave "hanks,; When another day came it was as the messenger had said, for the sun had moved back into the sky, and the air was cool and the trees grew leaves and the corn sprouted and (lowers bloomed and the world was a world of happiness, So it has been to this day, . Aird the sun who Is the father who pro- tects the Navajos, has ever warmed the earth with his rays and caused the corn to grow and the flowers to bloom. Nor have the Navajos forgotten the promise they made many .years. ago, on the great hilltop, when the world was' young. Each morning when they arise they face toward the east and give thanks to the Father Sun who gives them "warmth and light, and each night they face to- ward the west and give thanks for the day that has gone. Here in our village, if you will Nook; you will see that every house faces the each and each morning we ,are, awakel'ted by the early rays of the sun which come in through the doors and the windows—for that is as it, should be, and even as it was .promised by the great chiefs ages and ages ago when the Navajos came out of the world of twilight, Into the world of sunshine and light, Note.—Th this day the Navajo tribes of Arizona and New Mexico 6tiGlt+!lot build their houses facing the east.

In Saxon times it was the seat of a bishopric, Kings visited there and a royal pal- ace was built. It coined its own money and within its wallswere no fewer than fifty-two churches and re- ligious houses, and as a port it boast- ed, great ships and small ships. The low cliffs of loam and sand on which the famous city stood were bit by bit worn down by the' waves. The chronicles of Edward IL's reign show that 400 houses were swept away in a single year. Between 1535 and 1600 four churches. disappeared. In 1677 the sea forced its way into the market -place. In '179e St. Peter's was undermined, and the churchyard went too. Now Dunwich is very little but a memory. A Matter of Speed. Excited Passenger: "Can I catch. the five o'clock express for Euston?" Official (calmly): "That depends. upon how fast you can run.

VISI.TED THE WRONG KENILWORTH In North Wellington, situated' al- most in the centre of Arthur . Town- ship, is that municipality's metropolis, Kenilworth, surrounded by a fine ag- ricultural area, 'l aedworking farmers, and general prosperity. Over near Windsor is a race track that also wears the name of Kenilworth, it is the scene of pleasure and extrava— gance rather than thrift and industry. So dissimiliar are the two Kenil worths that never before had we heard of their becoming confused un- til the following incident was related to us by Mr. 'John McPherson, of Superior, Arizona, who is holidaying. in Wellington County. Mr. McPher- son was on hs way up from Toronto on Thursday last, on the the Tees - water train. A. smart young fellow with whom he had fallen into conver- sation, asked him when they were due at Kenilworth. "About noon," was Mr. McPherson's reply. "I shall be in lots of time for the races then," commented the young enthusiast. He went on to tell how on the evening. previous he had 'wired some ,money to the Kenilworth races to back his. favorites among the ponies. 'Through the night, he :errivecl at the conclusion: that he would like to see for himself just how the ponies would perform and so he hurried to the station and ticketed himself to Kenilworth, un- fortunately the wrong Kenilworth. Mr. McPherson,' who is sufficiently well acquainted with our Wellington County Kenilworth to know that its peaceful people are not likely to go in for horse racing on a scale attended with betting machines and book mak- ers, at once -tumbled to the mistake, that had Deers made. The conductor when consulted, in a sympathetic mood, and with customary " C. P. R. courtesy, offered to wire on to Kenil- worth in the hope that a couple of farm tractors .might be -secured to do; a little sprinting for'the . satisfaction of its sporty vistor, but the prospect of the tractor races had no appeal.; 'The rascng •enthusiast ' was taken on to. Harriston where he was to take a C.' N. 1. train for Windsor.-'i'�io doubt,, he saw the ;Kenilworth races till right, though Just\ a day late. -Arthur En terpiise.
