A contemporary defends the conduct of athletic competitions by' Sunday sehools by saying: "Pure athletics will uot lower the moral tone of a Sunday school." Prebaly not. Bat the Sunday school hour is not too long for the ape. dal work for which the schools are or- geeized. When. Sunday schools fritter away their efforts in athletics, military drill, etc., their power for good is apt to be very much diluted.

"I thought he would escape," she said; and to me it seemed that there was real regret: iti lier voice. `I have not asked to whoin I have the pleasure of speaking," she paid, af- ter a time.

I cannot well deloribe Lady Wyn- ton. 1 clid not think she was an English- women, altheugh she spoke, with a tol- exable accent, She was beautiful, but it struok me that her fair beauty was of a make-up kind -all glitter. Her Wealtb of hair was artistically arranged, her . eyes were large and blue, with a steely glitter, /ter lips red, her teeth gleaming white; but there was a touch of Parisian art abon't her faoe and figure. She was tall, well formed, and elegant rather than graceful. One thing was quite plain to. rne-she was not a lady; no matter what her tastes or position, she lecke dthe refinement and good bread. ing of a gentlewoman. Still I was bound to °empty with her wishes. Going to Miss Vane's room, I found her sitting at" the window. She did not look round as I entered; on her face were traces of bitter, pasionate tears. "Lady Wynton is desirous of seeing you, Miss Vane." I said. `She would like to thank you, and to mention several little things needful for her comfort." She turned her head quickly enough then -such contempt, snolt unutterable scorn°, such anger, I never saw evinced in any hula before. "I-deoline to see Lady Wynton," she returned, curtly. "So I told her; but she persisted in sending the message." "I persist also in sending refusal," she declared.. "Anything that she requires for her comfort let her have; but for Heaven's sake keep her out of my sight." "She wants French eholooate and French novel',". I said, laughing. - "Oh/ give them to her. Only keep her away from me" was tbe couteraptu- ous response. After a eltort time she obtalned a little stool antl sat down at my fe.et, laying her head on my knee; it was the first time she had used, that eareeising manner with me. "Mrs. Nev- ille," she said, slowly, ee, want to ask you a question. Tell Ise, what do you think of Lady 1Vyn.ton?" She asked the question with curious shyness. My re- ply was abrupt. "I do not like or et .all, Miss Vane." "DO you nett She is beautiful. I sup- pose ?" "Atter the fashion of a Parisian act- reee-nothing more." • For a tint° she seemed buried in thought, and then, with a soft blush on It, she raised her fair faze to mine. "Do not think me vain, Mrs. Neville, but you have SEMI us both -should you imagine Lady Wynton to be a woman whom it gentime.an-a man of refinement and taate-would prefer to me -who would be bettor korede than I could be?"• "No; there is as much difference be- tween Lady Wynton and yourself as be- tween a. scarlet poppy arid a. blush.rose, But have you seen Lady Wynton, Mies \rano?" "Yee, 1 saw her once, but under strange 044=sta/tees; I could not judge of What she was really like; and then" she continued, shyly: "Does he, do you think, love Lord Wynton very much." "I do not think she does, Sibs Vane; I should hinigine that all the love aud interest she feels are eentred la herself.' "Poor Olivet" I head her say; and then ehe asked me if I knew where they were going when the accideat happened. I told her to Paris. "Mrs. Neville," she said, "I have ono great wish, orte inhume longing -it Is to see them togethereehusband and wile. sled' never, in all human probability, see either of them again, and 1 wish; be. fore they go bo see them torther.

Lord Wynton was lying wide awake, Ire watched Mies Vane as /she went to the drawers and busieil herself in arranging something.

And then I. bent over hint, "Lord Wynton," I said, gently, "Lady Wynton iss anxious to get away as soon as poesible'and would like to say good-bye to you this' afternoon." "Very well," he aSsented, "whenever she wishee." He had barely uttered the words When a. footetep was heard outside, and, with- out. any rapping or announcement, Lady Wynton entered the room. She went up to him sinning, cold, hard, polished, with- out the faintest expression of sympathy. "The aeoldent was a terrible one," she said; "we had a very narrow escape." She made no remark .about his appear. anee, nor did. she congratulate hira on his escape. Thinking my presence a re- straidt, I turned to leave the room. Lord Wynton stepped me with outstretched hand. "Do not, go, Mrs. Neville!" he cried, in a quick, faint Yoke. Lady Wynton turned to inc with a glittering smile.. "We have no secrete, Mrs. Neville," she said. "I merely wish- eed to bid Lord Wynton good-bye." Neither of 'them notioedthe silent figure bending over th,e open drawer. "For your own ;hake," she continued, coldly, "I should advise you to get ott of this terrible house as soon as you can; the silence of it is enough to make one melancholy for life." "I like it," be opposed, abruptly. "Well, all to the taste -I think it hor- rible. Good-bye, Lord AVynten • I hope you will soon be all right.' 'Without another word she went away. "Good- bye," he responded. When the door has dosed behind her be turnhd his face to the wall. "Great 'Heaven! what have I been saved for?" he moaned. He lay silent for some time; we heard deep sighs some from his and then he asked for some lemonade. Miss Vane hastened to give it to him. I saw him look up into her face with a smile. There was not the faintest gleam of recognition. Then he looked at the white hoods that held the glass -looked at them long and steadily. There WAS a great commotion when 6 o'clock came, and Lady Wynton was ready to depart. "Good-bye, Mrs. Nev- ille," elle mid. "You have been very kind to me, and rthank you. I am not to see Miss Vane, I suppose?" "She Is really not Well enough to re- ceive visitors," I explained. "I expect the truth is she is some terrible, erase old maid," she said, laugh- ingly. "Well, you will say all this is eiyil /or me. Good-bye." That was the last I ever' saw of Lady Wyuton. After her departure I went to Miss Vanes roont. "Ole Mrs. Neville!" she riled, "what is dreadful woman.] Why, she hae no heart! She does not love him -she does not rare for him!" "I think it is a ease of mutual !milt- ferettee, Was Vane. She is entirely void of feeling or affection. Lord .Wynton has heart enough, but 4 do not not think he has ever given Any of it to her." "It is strange," she mused to henself -"very strange; he must have lovedhet oitee," and then she thecked herself, and looked at, int with eager. eyes. "You do not think she hes the least suspicion?" she interrogated. "Of you/ No. I think she has a very poor opinion of you-huagines you to be a ernes, oreentrie, disagreeable old maid."

Yon may have noticed possibly that -Intl/D.1)er of the Japanese Commiseion, which is visiting Canada, who harpens to be t Christian, endorses Mr, Pres- ton's eontention that missionary work in Japan should be conducted by uative. preachers. They are at once cheaper and More effeeti.Ve. They understand 'both the people and the language; while the foreigner must be a pellet who gets to understand either in any very short time after his arrival. I presume that the Canadian missionary authorities will say in.reply that the seed mustbe carried from Christian countries, that the Japanese Christian is himself a pro - duet of missionary effort -though the truth xaay be that he caught the fire at college in either Britain or the United States -and that, so long ast.the Chris- tian nations supply most of the money for missionary work in the Flowery Kingdom, -they will keep their hands on, the strings and their men in the field. Still it is likely thet the bulk of the subscribers will prefer efficiency to ev- erything else, and that, if they once become convinoed that the exphrted mis- sionaty costs more and does less than the native product, they will detnand a native missionary force, even if the sin- ews of war continue to come frora the outside world.
