asked the prelate t� read the petition.
'Deis set .forth at large, and most logic-

large a number of persons -all of the
first respectability—that the bishop only
turned the pages, and showed the Gover-
nor the length of the list. When the
reading was concluded, tho prelate laid
the devilment on the table, saying:
"Your excellency has heard all we
have to advance. I have only to add, on
behalf of my friends here present, and
myself, that no small interest in the fate
of the prinner wouldhave brougat us

The Governor bowed to this remark,
and, turning toward them all, said:
"Gentlemen, I cannot too strongly

kindness ef heart that has brought you
here this night. Nor can I adequately
express to you the pain I feel at b7eing

Here an expression of deep pain came
upon the faces of the visitors, and was
reflected in that of the Governor. He
went on to say:

CHA-PTER I.
It was the flat, waste coast, of A----1
County, on the Cheeapeake. It was
. evening, and clouds sat upon the face
of the deep and the spirit of the storm
moved on the waters.
Eastward the darkened sea spread
till it met the lowering sly. Westwara
the old primeval forest stretched till it
reached the horizon. Between the sea
and the forest lay a desert of level
sands. It was not dark, for tho moon
was at its full, and, though obscured by
clouds, shed a sombre gray light over
the scene.
A sullen, drizzling rain was falling,
and through this rain, over the dreary
coast road passed a wretched little
wagon dreau by a donkey and .filled
with three weary -hearted travellers.
The first was a woman, of tail and
powerful framb, when fine proporeions
could not be concealed even by the vol-
uminous brown cloak that wrapped her
form. The hood of the cloak, which
served aJso as a bonnet, had fallen back,
revealing a well-eet, resolute bead cov-
ered with coarse black and gray hair,
and a face with large, strong, elear-cut
features, and a stern, determined ex-
pressidn. She sat forward in the wag-
on, driving the donkey. But as her
hands mechanically guided the reins, her
eyes were fixed with a fierce, devouring
gaze upon the prospect before her.
The second, her companion, was a
young WGITKO.2 of slight and graceful
form—or rather it seemed so—for she
sat eloriely ahrouded in a black shawl,
with her white face pressed upon her
whiter nands-eboveed, collapsed, inudder-
big and silent, except when trying to
soothe the weeping 'babe upou her lap
or venturing some anxious, whispered
question to the stern driver, as:
"Mother, mether, are we almost there?
Can you see the lights of the city yet?"
And the dark woman's oily answer
was her Anomie, whiele seemed to be um
derstocel by her daughter.
Many weary hours had the wretched
little party plodded ea their way
through the rain and m4t. And now
they neared their journey's e,nd. And
well might the mother send her burning
glance 'PAUL passionate dealfe into the
far distance. And well might tlee daugh-
ter question with eager, breathless anx-
iety.
Their errand was ono upon the issue
of Which hung life or death. The only
on of the elder woman, the hueband
of the yOunger, the father of the in-
fant, lay chained and fettered in a con-
demned 011, doomed to die before 121
o'clock of the second day a felon's death
upon the scaffold! A crime that had
filled the whole community with horror
had been traced to his door. And. so
in evidence against him on his trial that
strong were the circumstances produced
the whole teeter of Ilia previous life had
been unavaing to effect a verdict in
hie favor. He was found guilty and
condemned to death.
Only one still loped—his young wife.
And this was the ground of her hope:
The old Governor's time was up and a
new Governor had been elected to suc-
ceed him—a young statesman whose
name and fame made the poor wife's
heart thrill with now life and expeeta-
tion, for be was one who had known
want, porrow, toil and struggle, and
who had conquered them and his own
destiny, and who was now borne vic-
torious upon the very topmost crest of
popularity. It was natural to suppose
that his bosom was filled with all gra-
cious affections, benevolent emotions
and generous impulses. He was to be
inaugurated into his office the Very day
before that appointed for the execution
of the prisoner. Was it not most rea-
sonable to suppose that hi,s very first
official itct would be an act of mercy?
Youth was always generous and merci-
ful, and ti e now Inovernoe wait young.
Was it not likely that ha welled rejoiee
at the importunity of signalizing his
coraileg hit° power by the aalvation ef
a fellow creature's life? a life tbe public
were so eager to have saved—whose
pardon would therefore bring him so
much more popula,rity? And ohbe-
sides! ehl more than all the new Gov-
ernor wan himself a young busband and
father, with a beautiful wife end a be-
loved, only babe—would. not the pity of
his heart grew strong for the wife and
child of the poor eondemned? Olel alto-
gether, when the came to think of it,
it wee unlikely, it was impossible the
Governor should refuse to hear her
prayere. Arid so she had urged the
prisonern mother to this journey, and
now, as she rode on through the driving
rain and mist, her hopes grew se strong
by eultivation that she raised her cow-
ering form and would. not endure to see
her mother sitting there in front of the
wagon driving so methanically, with her
burning gaze fixed with such fierce, hun-
gry eesite upon the foewattl vision of
the unseen city. Sbe said:
"Dear mother, cheer up—cneer up,
mother. Ohl I know that ell will be
welt! The new Governor comet fail to
hear tia, and to grant us his life! Oh,
Yes! All will he went"
"And. yet, Nelly, you shuddee end sigh
asnyou say itl"
"Yee, mother, because, oh Godi the
faintest doubt upon this eutileet is so
horrible!" and the poor girl groaned.
"Ilope nothing, Nally. Hope nothing
from what you hems advanced. I have
found none lo proud as tne prooperous
and none so heartiest; as the happyl"
"See, mothesl see, the lights of the

Man in the early prime of life, and a
beautiful woman in her first bloom. Op-
poeite to them sat a neat, pretty mulat-
to nuree.maid, and en her lap reposed a
lovely ehild of six months old.
Daniel Hunter, the Governor -elect, was
one of those sons of which America may
justly be very proud. He was a man
of the people—the fiOn of a couutry
blacksmith—low born, self-educated."
Taking for his sword and shield in the
battle of life, simply right, reason and
Christiau principles he had fought every
inch of his way, tfirough the successive
stages of reputation, distinction and em-
inence, even to his present high official
station,
And she who now bore his distill-
•
guished name and allayed his honors, the
lady who sat by his side, was one of
England's proudest daughters. Not won
in the days of his great success, but—
the grandehnd of an expatriated Jacob-
ite nobleman—by the strangest vicissi-
tudes of fortune she had been thrown up-
on Daniel Hunter's protection while she
was yet an infant and he a boy. Much
trouble of every sort had the young
patrician given the boy, the youth and
the man. But he had carried her in his
strong arms above every want, and care,
and sorrow, loving ker more tenderly for
every burden he bora for her sake, priz-
ing her higher for every fault he con-
quered in her character. And now she
sat by his side hie happy wife.
The marriage,. on hie siee at leaat, was
not no of passion. Daniel Hunter had
but one grand passion—ambition—and
even that was dedicated, conseoratati,
to high and holy purposas. But from
childhoed he had loved, served and pro-
tected her. And now he eherisb.ed her
with the old, tender, unchanging affec-
tion. He, her g-uaraian and teaeher, as
well as leer lover, hard had some diffi-
culty in winning her heart and. hand, but
when at last she gave them, they were
yielded up utterly, eternally, without re-
servation, with passionate abandonment.

CHAPTER III.
The young wife of O'Leary int&
weep and wail, but her sorrow was noth-
ing, to the fierce, bitter, burning pas,sion
of grief and terror—the very agony of
grief and terror—that fired the mother's
heart and scorched up the fountain of
her team through all that live -long night
and grain, maddening day!
At the earliest hour of the morning
that the prison rules would sanction, the
mother was at the gates waiting for
admission. Nellie was with her. There
could searcely have been a greater con-
trast he any two human beings than in
these two women as they stood waiting
at the jail gates.
Nor ate O'Leary, the elder, was a wom-
an of &boat forty yeare oi age, but
%those tall, gauntfigure dark coraplex-
ion and harshly cut fea:tures made her
look full ten. years older.
Ellen O'Leary, the younger, was a
mere girl, scarcely twenty yew' of age,
whoee slight figure, fair complexion and
soft, delicate ftatures made her seem
still younger. '
Soon the gates were opened and they
presented themselves for admission. An
under turnkey conducted them up the
broad, paved walk that lad to the prin-
cipal entrance, and along a dark, close
pa,ssage to the criminal ward, about
tnidway of which was situated the con-
demned cell occupied by young O'Leary.
The turnkey paused befere this door,
opened it rend held it while the mother
and wife of the convict passed tn.
The convict at upon the side /of the
cot, and th.a clergyman stood near him
as 11 m the at of takiag leave.
-William O'Leary, the prisoner, was
very unlike his mother. He waa not yet
twenty-three years of age, of raeciturn
height, ef (slender, yet elegant and firm-
ly -knit frame, of fair complexion, with,
light beer and blue eyes 2,11ri a Grecian
peofile. A great joy leaped to his gloomy
countenance and burst forth in his tones
as he started to meet his vissitors• and
fohled them alternately to his bosom,
exclaiming:
"Mother! Nelly! dear Nelly! Dear-
est leiellyl Don't cry, darling! It is all
overt the danger Is all over! Don't cry
so'dearest Nelly!"
And his raother groaned from her
bursting heart,:
"My son! My son!" '
And his wife sobbed. in silence on his
shoulder.
"Yes, mother; poor mother, the ag-
ony is over! Tbe governor has promised
a reprieve! I ehall be pardoned, mother
—pardoned for a crime a never commit-
ted!" The clergyman took his hat to
retire. "Don'tgo, father," sate. William.
i
"Mother, this s my kind, twat excellent
friend, Father Goodrich! And, sir, this
is my mother, and this is Ellen, my wife,
who you esee has cried her eyes out for
nothbag."
Ma two women armee, and the good
priest shook bends with them, and then
would have left the family topther, but
the poor mother held and clasped his
hand* while she thanked him in a broken
yoke kr his kindnees to her son.
,"Will is innocent, father," said. Nellie,
weepIng afresh,
The priest lookea pitifully at the poor
young ereature who bad involuntarily,
rincotteciously clasped both arms around
the form of her husband. and was hold-
ing him with it trembling pressure as if
to ptoteot him. And while he was con-
sidering what to say to comfort hed,
theh jealous mother's legate misinter-
preted his silence and she exclaimed al.
Most threateningly:
"Father! my son is guiltless! You
know my son it guiltleee!"
"Of the crime imputed to him—yers—
as guiltless as the angels!" said the
priest.
Th priest spoke hopefully, ana Win
limn O'Leary led the others to epeak of
outsides things and of their plane and
hopes- when he should be ft free man
again.
While this scene was going on in the
library of the executive palace, Mrs,
Daniel Hunter sat in her dressing -room,
on the second floor of the same man-
sion, preparing for the inaugural bale of
the evening. It was an airy, spacious
chamber, elegantly fitted, up and wall
lighted. Augueta sat on a dressing stool
in front of a high Psyche mirror. She
was attended by her pretty maid, Stella.
Her enter -in-law, Letter, already attn..
ed in her pretty, simple evening dress of
white crepe, and white roses, was also in
the room, hovering around the lady, and
adding here and there a finishing touch
to her dress or hair.
But just then a rap was heard at the
door. Stella went to see who it was.
A footman stood without, saying that
two womenJead called to see Mrs. Hunt-
er. They refased to go away, and in-
sisted upon being admitted. Augusta
looked and listened with surprise and.
curioeity. But Lefty said, impatiently:
"Tell the inan to send the woman away,
Stella! Thie is a pretty time of night
for such visitors! Some one who wants
some petty office or other secured to
some son, or brother, or sweetheart, and
wants your interest in it, Augusta, and
aro determined to be in time. Let them
wait a little. Tell the man to send them
away, Stella."
"No," said Augusta; "many of these
petitioners hage anxious''almost break.
ing hearts; I kno-se it. The least I can
do is to hear them. Tell the man to ad-
mit them,
But EfiT421 when Augusta 'melee, some
tem witihout exclaimed, hurriedly, ner-
vous]:
"Mother! I know that voice—I nnow
that voicel I know it, though I have
not heard it for fifteen years! It is
Lady Augusta Percival's."
And when the door was opened by the
footman to admit the two women who
had silently followed him, Nelly O'Leary
spraag foremost; and then, hastily con-
trolling her violent impulses hurried
nervously forward and sank aCthe lerly're
feet. Augusta looked at her in extreme
surprise, which was not lessened as the
light of a slow recognition dawned in her
countenance.
"Ellen Falconer! Dearest Ellen! can
tbirs be really you?" he exclaimed, with
dilated eyes and arched brows.
"Yes, Lady Augusta; it is 1—my own
wretched self!"
"Rise, dear Ellen—rise! Tell me
wbat is the matter with you. Stella,
wheel forwnrd it chair here. Sit clown,
dear Ellenn-e sit down. Yoe' tremble so
mucb! A glass of water for her, Stel-
la. Take it, Ellen; it will calm your
nerves." 4
Neny had sunk into the chair offered,
and Mrs. Hunter still remained stare-
iag, with ens hand resting upon the
dressing -table. Nally qualfea the water
presented to her by the maid, returned
the glom, and seemed somewhat calmed
by the cold sedative.
"Now, tell me how I can help you,
dear Ellen."
Recalled from hey momentary wander-
ing, Nelly sighed deeply, and said, eon-
-netting her manner of address by force
of habit:
"I made a mistake by mitering thie
.rooni, Lady Augusta; but now that I
am here "
"Tell me what I can do for you," saki
Mrs. Huntergsceing that her visitor had
paused and sighed deeply.

filial else, forgive me for the miserable

THE CANADIAN NEWSPAPER
DIRECTORY FOR 1907.
We have just received from the pub-
lisleers, A. McKim, Limited, of Montreal
aud Toronto, a copy of the 1907 edition
of the Canadian Newspaper Directory.
This is the fourth edition of this valu-
able work, which is filling a very real
need in Canada, and deserves a place on
the desk of every business man. It is
the only Newspaper Directory published
in Canada that has gone beyond a first
edition, and it has now become the
standard work of reference for all in-
formation. about newspapers.
It not only lists and describes fully
every periodical in the country, giving
full particulars, but it supplies, as well,
a comprehensive Gazetteer of the Domin-
ion.
Comparing this edition with former
ones, we note a large increase in the
number of papers which have supplied
detailed statements of circulation sup-
ported by affidavit and thereliy received
the Star of Honor. This is as it Ohould
be, and helps to put newspaper advertis-
ing on a more business -like basis. The
rapid growth of the new western pro-
vinoes is very apparent, for they are
credited with fully twice as many
papers as in 1905.
The McKim Advertising Agency, pub-
lisher of this work, has been formed into
a limited company, capitalized at $200,-
000, to be known as A. Maim,
Limited, with headquarters at Montreal,
a branch office in Toronto, and repre-
sentatives in New York, and Londoni
Eng. This change has been made to
facilitate the handling of their steadily -
increasing business.
Ever sine° this business was founded
by Anson McKim, more than twenty
years ago, the Mahn Agency has stood
high in favor with both publisher and
advertiser. Their methods ate right up-
to-date —enterprising, progressive and
systematic to a degree.
The firm has won enviable reputa-
tion for fair dealing and prompt pay-
mente, and is undoubtedly at the head
of the profession in this country.

The Umbrella an Insignia of Power.
With the seasons upside down as they
are at present, people are °beginning bo
realize the absolute necessity of never
stirring out of doors without an umbrel-
la. If social history is to be trusted, the
first Englishman to carry a.n umbrella
was one Hanway, who lived at the end
of the eighteenth century. At first he
was regarded as an. eccentric individual,
but by degreees they diecovered much
method in his madness, and before he
died in 1786 the feeble/1 he set 11113 ad-
opted by society in general. Of course
Hallway was not the originator of the
umbrella. Among the Greeks and Rom-
ans some such article was very oommon,
though oddly enough it wits regarded as
a purely feminine appanage, and ono
whieh men might never condescend to
adopt. tut all over the East the um-
brella has for generatione been well
known as an insignia, of power and roy-
alty. Thus, on the saulptored remelts
of Egyptian temples one sece represeitta-
tions of kings going in procession with
umbrellas carried over their beads Even
in India to -day some of the groat Maha-
rajahs still call themselves "Lords of
the Umbrella," and in KM iuldress pre-
sented by the King of Burinah to the
iVeeroy of India in 1855 the British re-
presentative is described as the "moil -
myth who reigns over the, great umbrella
wearing chiefs of the lectet." One has
only to walk through the streets of any
Indian town to -day to see how important
a social distinction the umbrella has be-
come. ror it native to go without an
umbrella in the streets of Calcutta., for
instance, is practically a mark of degre-
&titan a -Lennon Globe.

"Why is a Hen?"
There is an old and foolish conundrum,
"Why in a hen?" and to thia there is no
logically satisfactory answer. This eon-
undrum might, however, have been ask-
ed recently to eome purpose in a London
courtroom.
A hen flew into it bicycle. It up-
set the e rider and smashed the Ina -
chine. WKS the owner of the hen liable
for damages? Ono lawyer contended that
he was, for the hen 'MIS trespassing on
the highway. The other lawyer said:
"No," for there was no proof that the
lien might have been expected to act in it
violent and destructive manner. Tho
judge agreed to this, and gave judg-
ment for the defendant,
But should not a bicyclist feel reason- •
ably secure on a highway from unpro-
voked assaults of domestic fowls, A ;
wild fowl is capable, like Habbakuk, of ;
anything. Suppose a cock should peck a
hole in the tire of a standing devil wag-
on ?—larom the Boston Herald.

Don't Shoot!
(By Ella Wheeler Wiltox.)
Don't shoot! Consider this ono fact,
Th.e lack of manhood in the act;
How could a creator° of your SIZES
Take aim at any bird that flies?
We are so helpless, and so smalli
The very tiniest boy is tall
Compared with us. Put down your gun,
And seek some manlier kind of fun.
Don't shoot! Out there in tree and glade,
la pretty nests that we have made,
Our hungry little birdlings wait.
Ah, think pf their unhappy fate
wo came not at set of sun!
Put down your gun, put down your gun.
Don't shoot! But leave us free of wing
To build, and nest, and soar and sing.
Xe ask so little, just to live—
And for that privilege we give
Our souls in song, till life is done,
Put down your gun, put down your gun,
Don't shoot! Earth has enough of 10Y,
Of space, and food, for bird and boy;
Enough for both of light and sun,
Put down your gun, put down your gun.

No Paper Money for the Indians.
• "There are two traits about the Amer -
been Indian that civilization and contact
with his white brothers cannot over-
come," %aid Frank L. Campbell, who has
spent several years as a school teacher
among the Sioux and has learned to
know them well.
"Those peculiarities are his aversion
to paper money and his appetite for dog.
An Indian will never take paper money
if be can avoid it. He satiate, in the lan-
guage of the Sioux, 'muzza ska,' which
translated means white iron. The red
man cannot bring himself to believe that
a email piece of printed paper can be
worth as much or more than the metal
inself. Strange to say, an Indian would
alsnerather have ten silver dollars than
ono ten dollar gold piece. I do not know
whether it is because the ten pieces of
money appear to br; more or whether it
is simply because he likes to jingle the
coine."—From the Washington Post.

soul of Epping has lecen.aroused to fury
by a threatened invasion of the National

a stranger to emerge from the dryad
haunted glades ef the forest upon a vistas
of telephone poles would prove as disen-
chanting as if the Venus of Milo sud-
denly exclaimed "By Jove!" A compro-
mise has now been effected by which
only five poles are to be erected and
these will be relegated to an obscurity
where they cannot spoil -the old. world

say, there seems AO reason why telephone

Mob vs. Society.
(Montreal Gazette)
It is a serious thing when .peaceable inc,
because df their color, are lawlessly assailed.
It may be it costly thing when the victims
of mob wrath are subjects of it government
which 'has both the power and the Will to
Protect' them. The nationality of tho victims
ishowever, a matter of no importance, Tho
law of the kind has been outraged. Us power
should be, vindicated, and this not for the
sake of the yellow strangers more than for
that of the white residents. A: mob that is
pormLtted to persecute one eines of the peeplo
will soon think it can tyrannize over anY
class, and will become a public danger that
only the shedding of blood may check.
