THE USU ralltleaegergillia•GW"‘110,41 "Jackl my brothert my brother!" That word was the cause of the ter- rible confusion which brought so ninch trouble in the near aftertime. Holding up Ms hand for silence, Lorri- more raised her head. "Your brother?" he said. "Where is he?" • She motioned faintly toward the wood. "You mean that you left him there?" said Lord Lorrimore, "Yes," she breathed with painful eager- ness and anxiety, "Take sue to luml Bring him to me I" Lorrimore beckoned two of the men, who stood looking on in respectful silence. "Go back and search," he said. "We will wait here," A pressure of the weak little band thanked him, as she dropped back exhausted by the few words he had spoken. The two men went back and com- menced their search. They had no dif- ficulty in tracking their way through the bent and crushed undergrowth to the spot where Sylvia and Neville had been surprised mid attacked, and there, lying dead, they found the men Neville had shot. He was a young fellow of .41.)ut Neville's age, • and not unlike him. In- deed, all diggers, given shnilarity of age, are somewhat alike in appearance. While he had beenu examining the big he had put on Neville's peageeket. It was stained by lust and clay, and the two vigilante at once recognized it as a gen- uine digger's jaaacet. They looked no farther, though poor Neville at that very moment lay hidden in the thick bush but a few yards from them. "This is him," said one of the men; "this is her brother." "And -dead as a herrine poor devil," said the other, "I'm sorry for that poor girl! Let's take the coat; she'll know if it's his or not, and- that'll settle the matter." They hurried back to where Lorrimore and the litter were waiting. Thinking Sylvia still unconscious, one of the men held up the coat. "We've found him, air," he said. "Dead! Here's his coat." Lorrimore put up his hand to .stop him, but it was 'too late. Sylvia had heard the awful words, and recognized the coat. A shudder shook her, and a faint cry aroee from her white lips, then the hamd became still as death in Lorrimore's. "l3y heaven!" he said. "You've killed her!" When you see et handsome building taking forth under the or kinan's strokes, you know it is being shaped af- ter a plan of the architect. God's plan for your life and mine is in the Bible. Every verse' of Scripture memorized is an invisible workman helping to shape our characters. That is why those who have loved and studied the Bible from youth have made the best men. We may use it for comfort in trouble. It eases pain in the heart as liminent does In the flesh. Then, the Bible may be used to help others. Texts on pretty cards sent to the sick or aged may be a wonderful comfort to them; but in the hands of the thoughtless they may serve as warnings.—,Tumor World. The Bible is the only geography and atlas we have of the spiritual world. We may use it to become- •aequainted with the country—its laws, ruler, trea- sures, and inhabitants. It is a photo- graph gallery in which we are continu- ally surprised at catching glimpses of our own hearts. No wonder the Chinese insisted that the missionary had written it since becoming acquainted with his faults. Besides showing us ourselves and whither we are going, the Bible furnish- es us spiritual food. Feeding ourselves is a very praetiern matte; A. plump body may hold a very lean soul. If a booking - glass could be made that would show us our spiritual leanness, we would never begrudge time for reading one Bibles. We would rush to them as hungry peo- ple rush to a dinner table.

Lorrimore haunted the tent. In his anxiety for Sylvia he almost forgot his mission, and when it did flash aeroes him that hunting rangers and rescuing damsels in distress was hardly searching for Neville Lynne, he consoled himself with the reflection that when Sylvia re- covered be could ask her if such a man as he was looking for was in Dorn Hope Camp'. On the second day he learned from the doctor that Sylvia's condition had im- proved. She was not yet, however, fully couseious; her mind wee only clear at intervals, and woulki wander off into shadewland as if loth to come back to real life. "She thinks of nothing but her broth- er," said Mrs. Langley, the doctor's wife. "It's pitiable to hear the poor girl call upon his name, mid in a voice that brings the team to year eyes. They must have been fond of each other." Lord Lorrimore wandered about the camp, watching the diggers, who went on with their work as if the shooting of • nine men was a most ordinary occur- rence, and occasionally taking his gun and getting a bird or two; but three or fourtimes a day he was at the doctor's tent making inquiries. A week passed in this way, and one morning the doctor's wife informed. him that she thought Sylvia was well enough to see him. Lorrimore entered the tent and found Sylvia lying in an extemporized arm- chair made out of empty boxes, and his tender heart was touched by her altered .apPettrance. Neville himself would scareely have recognized izt the thin, wan face, with its bletek-ringed, mournful eyes, the bright and happy girl who bad walked so hap- pily through the wonds with hien but seven days ago.

THE TARDY GUEST, And Some Delightful Dining Craglcs f It is embearoensiO. ngldfor the hostess ,When some important guest at a din- ner party does not arrive at the expect, ed. time. But the hostesses of our great- grandmothers' day had much worse clif. fieulties to contend with in that way than we have nowadays, when trains, cabs, motors and motor offinibuees make punctuality comparatively eley, Yet there were hosts even then .who efused to accept any excuse for lateness. "Bosvillian" punctuality is a forgot- ten term in these times; but ti hundred years no to dine a la Bosville had a significant ineanieg, for it implied that dinner would be served at the exact time whet mentioned on the invitation. Colonel Bosville was a martimet where dining was eoricerned, His Milner was al- ways ordered to be placed on the table at exactly two minutes to 5, says the St. Seines Gazette. No guest was admita ted after the appointed time, hisporter locking the street door and placing the key at the head of the dinner table on the first stroke of the mystie hour. It was said of a man of the day who Was of some impottanee in the official world that in tinsweriug an invitation to dinner he invariably added tithe post- eceipt: "Note conclude you mean what yon sitv and that the dinner Will be on the table at 5 &clod:, when I ellen arrive at your door.

A Magoificeot Spectacle to Be "'resented With a Gorgeous Historical Programme, The romance of history is just beginning to dawn otx the average Canadian citizen, The preparations for the great tercentenary celebration at Quebec, which commences on July 20 next, have resalted in an amazing amount of historical information being dleseminated throughout the length mid breadth of the country. The prepara- tion of the costumes for several thous- and performers, all of whom must be garbed accurately from an historical point of view, has entailed an iinmense amount of original research. Probably never since the beginnings of Canadian history has there been such a ransack- ing of the archives,, libraries and mu- seums Of the country for historical data to be used. in the planning of the great pageant tableaux and procession which those in charge state will be unique in the history of the continent, Ind, in- deed, in the history of the world. From all parts of Canada, from Fu - rope, from the British colonies voyeed the seas, the cry is coming: "What will there be to see at the Quebec 'tercenten- ary celebration?" The master of the pageant, Mr. Laseelles, who had charge of the Oxford pageant last year, end is to be in charge of the London one uext year, has outlined a sketch of what will take place under his directiou, !iis pro- gramme will surely fill every Canadian heart with a glow of pride und entici- pa.tion. Here surely will be taught more Canadian history during the efteragene of the pageant tableaux than all the text -books ever written! From a great stand on the Plains of Abraham, holding 80,000 people, facing the mighty St. Lawrence River, the spectators will look down and evatcli the stirring scenes of early days. When the strains of muiic die away, we will see a group ef wig - warns set beneath the trees, and a wild Indian dance in progress on the banes. Then Jacques Cartier, the great St, Melo sailor, comes into view. He is atteneed by his hardy mariners in their many - colored caps and blouses. On their shoul- ders they bear a huge cross crowned with the golden lilies and the cavil arms of France. This they plant in f1i3 eiirth in the midst of the assembled Indians. Cartier reads to the Indians, as he read nearly four hundred years ago, the Mtn- iliar wordr of the holy • gospel of at. John. Then down he goes to the river to embark on the ship which is te take hinr back to France. So the French pioneers end the In - diens pass out of view, and we are transported to the court of Prance. Ihe same green sward is under f ie and the same sky is overhead, but the men- ry strains of music and groups of gay courtiers show us that the scene 13 no longer a little village on the rivee ac', but that it is the court of FTS01,10iS Pre- miere at Fontainebleu. Cartier eape tee back from his journeys in the new World, tells of his wanderings on the mighty river, and presents some Indians to the King. Another geegeoee court scene, and we see Champlain receive from Henri Quatre at the Louvre the royal commission to set out for teat die. tant land whither Cartier had gone be- fore.. The scenes flash by, and we sre Champlain and his girl wife reeeivcd with wonder by the savages. And now Champlain and. his wife have long Pince passed away. The little Indian village of Stadaeona has become Quebec; the population has become e00; the Govern- or, Montmagny, goes down to the. liver side with his guard. and 1,33.3'.V.IS the gentle Mother Marie and the ladies trim old France, who have givenup wit. lives to bring the name of Christ Le the new country. Then comes the ierrille fight of Dollard against the fierce Iro- quois Indians, and when the war whoops have died away, end the illumination from the final burning of the fort is over, there comes the sound of chant- ing, and the great archbishop and pa- triot, the saintly Mgr. de Laval, goes down with all the stately ceremony of the Roman Catholic Church to meet the representatives of the King of Prance. Then we see de Saint Lumen taking possession of the western country with stately ceremonial. Then there is final- ly a gorgeous pageant procession of Can- adian heroes with the soldiers of three Inoawt o n s as it background, while the guns of the battleships crash in the river be - The preparations for the pageant aro progressing rapidly.
