Then. she went away into the sitting room, and through it into the little be cham- ber which had been familiar to er so long. She felt an unutterable s nse of race and rest steal into her h art—a ding known by all who return home after a long absence. She looked affec- tionately at the shabby, old-fas ioned furnishings, and touched with tender fingers the cheap little ornaments on the tel, for they were all old, old fiends. Bat Elspet was calling that the dinner was ready, so she laid aside her Iat and jacket, and went back to the kitchen. By-and-hy, when the meal wa past, hes washed, and the place redd up, Elspet termed it, they sat down ether to talk matters over at ength.

"The writing was begun that night, and in a few days there was a 'onsider- , able diminution in the quantity of blank paper.

" Elspet, I know it is," said and stood looking out of the moment in silence. " If you think sae, it'Il be a' right," said Elspet, cheerfully. "Come lava' tae yer tea, then, and hear my news." Barbara looked round in surprise- " I've haen a veesitor the day, bairn, midis' very parteeklar for you." Barbara's face flushed, then grew pale again,, and a great fear gathered in her eyes.

"And do we have to git off the track?" , "Yes ; it's the new way. They used to have one train scramble over the other, but it scart the passengers so that they have adopted another plan."

ROBERT NI SON, Secretary, Blake P. 0. 10 An Editor's Resource. A New York paper says that England can boast one editor, at least, who might be trusted to run a country paper in the United States. In his youth Sir Richard Philips edited and published a paper at Leicester, called the Herald. One day Ian article appeared in it headed "Dutch Mail," and added to it was an announce- ment that it had arrived too late for franslation, and so had been "set up," iprinted in the original. This wondrous article drove hall of England crazy, and for years the best Dutch scholars squabbled and pored over it without being able to arrive at any idea of what it meant. Thislamous "Dutch Mail" was in reality merely a column of "pi." The story Sir Richard tells of the particular "pi" he had a whole hand in is this "One evening, before one of our pub- lications, my men and a boy .overturned two or three columns of the paper in type. We had to get ready, in some way, for- the coaches, which, at four o'clock in the morning, required four or five hundred papers. After every exer- tion we were short nearly a column; but there stood on the galleys a tempting column of pi'. It suddenly struck me that this might be thought Dutch. I made up the column, overcame the scruples of the foreman, and so away the country edition went, with its philologi- cal puzzle, to worry the honest agricul- tural reader's head. There was plenty 11 of time to set up a column of plain Eng- lish for the local edition."
