How much Lord Wedderburn suffered no one ever knew, but it few days after there were care lines on his handsome faee, and he heel grown years older in his manner and appearance, * * * * . At the home of Lady Emily Itfareh- mont there was mueh surprise over the noneitmearance of Lord Wedderburn, His mother, Lady Horne, had grown ex- eeeoneny uervous since she aad sent to his room; and found he was not there. Teleerams were sent to Caetle Royal, and he had not been there. Letters were addressed to the Carlton Club, and the clerk had replied that he was surely in town, as he had no orders to forward Lady Emily was nervous, but Lady Home was taken violently ill ,and a phy Melon had been summoned. The foot - Man had been despatchea to Lord. Reg- inald's room; and the reply invariably was that Marsten, Lord Wedderburn's man, did not know the lord's where- abouts. Every one was in a fever of ex- citement. There lay Lady Home violently 111, de- siring the presence of her son, and he could not be found. Lady Emily declared herself disgusted with Lord Reginald, but said little. At last she repaired for a few memento reSt, to her room, when there a gentle ttaerped. on her door ,and Miss Staunton en - "They have not found Lord Wedder- burn yet?" she asked. Lady Emily replied in the negative. Miss Staunton seated herself at Lady Emily'e feet: "Do you believe that Marten does not know where he is?" she asked. . "Mot assuredly I do," replied Lady Emily. "Then forgive one for saying so, but I do not, I am sure 1 ean find his whereabouts in an hour." "You!" stdd Lady Emily, in utter as- tonishment, "don't ,you know no English girl would dare to do such a thing? ,You. woulct compromise yourself seriousty." "1 can not understand how.

"Remember I do not consent," she said at last. "If you will. only pardon, then," Miss Staunton said, kissing her, tenderly; and she keew by the kind light in Lady Eniity'e eye i that she eould rely upon Lady Emily's love in any ease and site hurried to her room, touched the bell and ordered the coach immediately, and, threw on her wraps to go out. As soon ns Lord Wedderburn recover- ed himself he called a eah and went with his friend, Captain H----, to the home of the actress. "I should go and beard the lion in the den. • It's by far the best plan. If you let this get into aolicitors' hande they will make a mountain out of it. This is any itaviee." They aoon reached the house and were ushered into the draw- ing -room, when Madame made her ap- pearance, wearing a most injured Wok. She rang for lights. "I wish you to explain these letters," said Lord Wedderburn. "Why do you not ask your friend to explain, he certainly heard your conver- eation that evening to my daughter," said Madame, haughtily. "I beg your pardon," said Captain 1I--, "I was so beastly drunk as Was my friend here, that I de not remember one word that passed the entire Aerat- ing, It would be an exceedingly diffi- cult matter to recall a, tonversation that pased between drunken revellers." The fact i; Mrs. Holden_ had found no one sober enough to remember anything, and. he was beginning to see she had made a mistake. It had been better to have courted. my lord's friendship than to have driven him away. The Halden saw her mistake at once and began to veer around. "Lord Wedderburn tegtainly made'my daughter an offer of marriage and it WAS dearly my duty to see justice dote her. but if my lord was as drunk as he says there is no harm done. 1 trust my Lord will pardon me, but my daughter's honbr was at stake." - Lord Wedderburn Was evidently going to make en angry reply, wizen the toot - Man threw open the door, and there stoOd Mis Stauntoti, who had heard ev- ery word. "I beg your imam Lord Wedderchntn, bot enter mother is ill and WiSlies you," she said. "My mother ill!", gasped Lord. Wed- derborn--"sinee when?" "For several days," quietly attewered Miss Staunton, retiring fromthe room, followed by the ,dazed young lord. He entered the carriage end drove at (ewe to the home of Lady Emily March - met. Not a word peeled'. on. that drive. The only sound that broke tit monotony was the rattle of the wheela over tee •ettrbetone6. The truth Was, that Wm Stauntoli had driven at once, to his lordship's TOOWitS and heard the sante old. *newer.

CHAPTgR 111. Lady Home was recovering rapidly, but the young lord would not leave her just yet. He seemed te find a haven of rest and peace when lie reached Castle Royal. How dear the grand old place looked! All at once he realized how much be loved it. He walked. througb the picture gallery, and gazed lovingly on ell the faceti there. There before him were his ancestors for ages gone - some prout and othere &duty, patriciae faces stniled at him from the darkold canvas. "I am the first unworthy one of them all," he thought bitterly; 'the first One to bring disgrace on a proud. old name." He walked over the fields. He walk- ed down the pathway that led. to the sea. The warm. September suti ha,l just begun to tinge the leaves with russet, gold and brown. The tarth here was fair to look upon. A sea of vast riela lands. He was bent in contemplation of it. He did not notice that the sun was gone, he could not recall it, but it shoUld be buried under years of good deeds -so deep, indeed, that no ghost of his evil deeds should CM rifle before him. AM at °Ace there was the peaked gables of old Lenthill peeping through the trees. He had forgotten the place and its innuttes. Poor little Dorothy! He had earnestly intended doing some- thing for her, but those horrid happen- ings in town has so engrossed. him that he had forgotten her. He must remem- ber her. Then, seeing darkness gather over him, he started for home. He walk- ed over the moorlands. In. some places there were broken. ridges in the ..tow - lands. Lord Wedderburn fancied he heard a sob, He listened again and again until it died away on the soft air. Then. he walked briskly down the path. To thetright, just under the edge of the ridge, sat a mall, dark figure. Who could it be, in that dark place at this time? As he drew nearer, he' Saw it was Dorothy! There she sat, her head bowed in her lap and her arm bare. The ragged apron sleeve6 had fallen from them. Lord Wedderburn stopped. His heart smote him that he lotd not thought of lier before. He r‘membered the scene he had witnessed .before he went to town, and he was sure she must have suffered during his absence. "What are you doing here, Dorothy?" he asked. She was crying still, "Granny is sick and she is took that uncommon queer she hates the sight of me," she answered between her sobs. "Perhaps things are not so bad," he said, eoothingly. "Is your granny very ill?" he asked, unconsciously falling into the use of her words. She looked up through her tears and answered. Lord Wedderburn saw there, in spite of the tear -stained and dis- heveled hair, a face wondrously beauti- ful. "You must go home now, Dorothy," he said, "the air grows too cold for those bare arms and feet. You, will be ill, also." "I ain't going home -least ways I ain't going for a long time, for granny don't sleep so powerful sound, aria she do hate me that bad! She drives me right out of sight. I have to stay here till the moon goes over the hills there," Here she pointed witit her finger to the moon that was just beginning to shine. The air was cool. Lord Wedderburn felt the chill of the air from the sea. "You are going to light a fire?" he asked, pointing to a bundle of fagots beside hee conet need no fire. I gathered this, and when I go hom rn ship in granny's room to make her a fire. Gran- ny don't like for me to have a fire. Did you think I got this wood on your land? Well, I didn't. tor granny said you got mad when I did, so I got it nigh onto two miles from here, at the old tower woods." "Did your granny say that? She was mistaken. I never said it, With all these woods around here, I would have been cruel to say that. Do you wish to offend me?" "Deed I don't want to," "Then promise nre to take all you want from here, will you?" Sd. he hesitatedm a moment, then prom- iseWhat a eruel shame those poor little naked Rams should have meen burdened with those fagots for over two miles. Here stood a rich man and extravagant and beside him honest poverty. How un- evenly the world seems divided, any- way! The air grew more chilly as the night wore on. 'Unconfidently, Dorothy pull- ed. the rags over her bare arms. Lord. Wedderburn watched her nar- rowly. In all his life,,, poverty and want had not so closely stared him in the faee. He had seldom seen nature. In his world everything was seen through cozy spectaeles, and every per- son played. their part, as on. a Stage. Every emotion of the mind was dis- torted. and foreed. Here before. him aulejeet of honesty. These deep, dark oyes were free from deceit. There was truth written plainly on the fitee, and this WAS a novel diseovery to Lord Wedderburn. "Take my coat," lie mid, handing it to her. "Do you think I'd do that," she said. "You would, be eold, and, I won't for I am 'used to it." She hahded it back to him. "Then you do Want to offend Me?" lie stud. Without it. word elle took the coat and threw it over her 6houlders. The coat was a rich, dark blue one, and her fair hair fell over it in a golden shower. and it drew out the lovely fairness of her faee. All in a moment the etraugely elfish look vanielted, and she looked more human -like. Lord Wedderburn turned to go. As, he left her he forced some Coins in her bend, and itt a few moments *wee out of tight. She looked them over arid over and over, The moon Wite bellied a Cloud, and elle eoteld net gee them dearly, but they were real permies she felt sure.

She turned them over and over in her hand. Hew new the penniee were, for ehe had never Geen any 40 bright and yellew before, he then tore it string from her epren sleeve -put them in a 'knot in her dress and tied them safely. The moon now wail einking be- hind, the hille, She arO.Se slowly and p- thered up her fagots and started home- ward. Tile (Ad mina of Leethill loomed up black and gloomy before her. There Wee not a ray of light to be oleo. She went in gently, rolled up the coat in as sneall a bundle as possible, and hit it behind eagle loose stones in the old wall. Then ehe slipped noiseleesly into Granny's room and replenished the smouldering fire, and placed the fagots near, She stood listeeing 9. moment -- yes, Granny wes sleeping. "Dear old Granny," she said; "if she don't like me, no wonder, and elie' s all ve gut." &he noiseleeely left the room and went to her OWII which wee eold and dark, and. laid down on the cold floor, where, despite its old, she slept the sweet sleep of childhood -that tenbrokeu, rot- ful eleep that Invigoratee, and, she did not wake until the morning eun peeped through the old ivy leaves that served as a blind for the window -and such a blind it weal a rdYel elle; none mad reproduce its beauty or colorings.

"Get up," said, Dame Wynter, in a kinder tone than she had ever used, The armful of fagots had not escaped her observatien. Dame Wyntei• leaned more heavily than usual on her staff; her face was drawn and white. She looked. ill. "Get up, you are to go to the castle and take home the WOrki 1 am ill and need every penny. Get up at onee. Look up in that cupboard and get the box of keys. The one with the black string, mind you. Take it and open the great black box, Find a dress and, a .pair of shoes; make yourself tidy, all ni a. mo- ment, and run with the bundles to the housekeeper. Do not loee a penny, or it will be the worse for you." She had. unconsciously relapeed into the old harsh tones. If the .heavens had fallen Dorothy could not have been more amazed. All her life those keys had been veritable "Bluebea,rd's" keys to her. She had eeen them. only a few times, and then she re- membered the chills had passed over her. The thought of going up to the castle was a, strange one to her. She could not terloelautwdhether it was pain or pleasure. She had seldom th dared venture near e csaesetleh,er.lest those giand people si What a glorious opportunity of tak- ing Lord Wedderburn's coat home, for it Innst be returned, Then, too, what a glorious ehance to go by the village shops and get those present6 for Cran- ny, She bounded up the rickety old steps two at a time. The earth surely was growing suddenly into a paradise, and for her ,too, for sueh as she! A paradise for a beggar! It was al- most too good to be true, She .thought it moment as she unlocked the old box and raised the lid. There before her eyes were wonder. Lest it ,should be only a dream -one of those fascinating ones inspired. by the devil and would inatantly vanish likesmoke -she thought of praying. If God would be good enough to give beggars such a paradise as the world was now, he would hear a beggar's prayer. She knelt down by the box, but what could she say? A moment more and she whispered: "Dear Go& You won't let this para- dise melt in smoke, will you? and these clothes are real clothes, ain't they? "Bios old Granny. I wish she would love me, but she do hate me that bad -and no wonder! I ain't smart, nor nothing but a beggar." She could think of nothing more to say. Her world had seemed crowed with beauty. There before her lay the clothe. She shook out a filmy old lawn over whose surmaee gigantic and bright -hued flowers ran. in dire confusion. There were impossibly large, bright green leaves everywhere. She looked at its beauty, mute with pleasure. She put it on over her ragged one, but that did not matter at all, as the ragged one was the shortest. The waist nets only it few inches in length and the neck uncom- monly low, but that could not be re- medies. There lay a lace scarf. That was the ver ything to cover her naked arms and shoulders. There was a pair of soiled silk slippers. They had once been pink, but age had stolen the color, as it steals everything else on earth, and left them a faint white. The toes were very square across, and the soles about an inch wide, but, by dint of real bard work, they went on. Mete was a patr of snowy white to in there, too. She chose these as the molt suitable. There was a bonnet, too. It was such a (weer bonnet -with such a peculiar ebape tlat she had to put it on every way to make it fit-hay:ne no mirror there to see, so she chose the 'most comfort - Able ,position as the right elle. and was eelimously aneoriseivas that it was tip - side down, so that the eon- old feathers, and pitiable old flo-vere were hanging upside delta in the mot+, helpless man- ner poesible. Swe was always late. It is true that the sue was just peeping over hilltops and tiotb it vas too early for peoele to be astir, but she must be up and gone. She took up the bufelle, and met her granny. Such it strange look Oame in the old woman's eyes -- a most unearthly look. She adjusted her spectacles, then took them off and iped them on her soft, old apron. She put them oa and surveyed Dorothy then turned, and, without a. word, entered her room and closed her door. This strange manner made Dro- 11 y decided' uncomfortable, hut ehe stuok it off as elle tripped :tiong pily eown the pan with the eastle bundle and the coat rolled rota pineed with thorns instead of pine. The birds along the path sang merrily until Dorothy appeared before them, then their happy songs died, in their throats. 1 ween they were mueli astonished at the strange apparition before them. They fluttered their little wings, and, with a ery, flew to safer fields, Little heeded Dorothy that the birds were frightened, or that the winds blew keeh and chill through the thin drese Her world had euddenly opened before her, ahd her tnied and soul wore filled to overflowing With its beauty. lhere loomed before her the great ettetle.

Chicago followed with an eleven mil- lions' outlay in the same period. Philadelphia has done well, but is be- hind in oublie play enterprises. Pennsylvania ranks among the first states to pass public playground law. New York, Massachusetts, Ohio and New Jersey are also pioneers in the play movement. Our Pennsylvania law dates back to aseinduehii 1188.18)1.iryea, 1805: the first New York State law was pssof New York, was the first president of the first public playground society in this country.

BE CANADA CANCER INSTITUTE, Limited 10 Churchill Ave., Toronto. SYNDICALISM -A DOCTRINE OF STRIFE. Syndicalism commands the serious at- tention of all who are seeking a solu- tion of the social and industrol prob- lem. it had its origin in France not yet a quarter of a century ago. it 18 based upon the assumption that the working class i$ at war with society and with the state which upholds the existing order, and that jest as in warfare all law is suspended, and everything whieh ean inflict an injury upoti the enemy is justified, so in the war against society the eame rules apply, its founders and advocates lay great stress on the need for developing the individuality of the worker, and by a method of guerrilla warfare strengthen- ing both his class conseiousuess and his power to strike the enemy effectively. Sabotage, that is, the destruction of the property of the enemy, is part of its methods. It frankly aims at melting the peaceful conduct of industry impossible to the capitalist, who would thus be forced. to let go his hold upon the mines, the mills, the railways, etc., whereupon the workers would step in and themselves take possession. The attitude of the Syndicalist toward the state is frankly that of the anarch- ist. The state to him eepre,sents the enemy and is organized by the exploit- cri‘i for the express purpose of holding the exploited in subjection. The state, therefore, is not merely taboo; it is the enemy. The workers in each industry are encouraged to earry on an active warfare until they gain the ownership and control of the caplet invested there- in. When all industries have been so transferred and transformed into guilds they are then to federate together and create the industrial state from, which the exploiter end the oppieseor will hare been completely eliminated. Such in brief is the theory of Syndicalism. Hitherto it has been confined in the main to France and Italy, and it cannot be said that its experiences there have been such as to tempt workers else- where to place much reliance upon its methods. -From "Labor's Victory in Hugland" ia the June Metropolitan Magaziee. iseet Thousands of Tiny Fish Tit Up Steel Thousande of tiny fish driven by the heavy sea on Lake Michigan choked the intake pipes supplying the steel mills at Gary, Ind., with water recently, and forced the shutting down of three blast furnaces until the water pipes could be closed.
