The bcely was to be buried in the vil-

came John Bougluman went to the vil-
lage to rnake the final arrangetaents
for the burial.
As soon as Dorothy was alone, she
took off her wedding dress. It was all
soiled and bedraggled now. She care-
fully folded it up, and took them up in
the room and placed them away with
the dame's worn garments in the black
box, and carefully locked it.
She thought of the servants at the
castle, as they had seen her upon that
day when her vanity had, gotten the
better of her sense, and 'Ole put on her

What a strange funeral that was!
There were only two mourners, and the
castle servants who had been pursuaded
to go at the instance of one of Lord
Wedderburn's men servants.
"I shall go." he said, "for didn't my
lord say, 'Johnson, do everything you
can for the Lenthill folks, and bring
that child's boxes here and store them
safely in the north tower garret.' He
wanted us to go, of course, and, help
theru, and with permission we had all
better go." Hence they went.
There was Dorothy In her rags, her
fair hair streaming in the winds and no
covering on her head. Her hands and
feet were bare. She had resumed the
old life with the old attire.
When the last sad rites were over and.
every one turned to leave, Dorothy fell
prostrate on the grave, and the last
one that looked WV her there still.
Joe Baughman had gone to the vil-
lage and deeided to remain there all
night as it was then late.
Dorothy lay on the grave until dark-
ness stole over the earth. On the grave
she had sobbed. out the last vestige of
her childhood. She had all the world
ta face alone, and, she prepared to meet
it bravely. No thought that Lord Wed.-
derburn would ever claim her earae to
her mind. She lived in a different world
from him and his.
She arose and walked slowly home-

was shining brightly. She entered her

hearth and lay 'down on the floor to

SLEEP.
Investigation by scientists of the
nature of the sleep of persoes in nor-
mal health PhOWL; that it varies ac-
cording to the daily diet and the dif-
ferent. hours at which sleep is begun.
Altogether the ideal hour for retiring
is ten o'clock. The sleep of a person
going to bed regularly at approxi-
mately this time gradually augments
in intensity for the epee° of an hour.
It then suddenly becomes very pro-
found, reaching its maxi -um Intensity
at a.bout eleven -thirty o'clock. With-
in five or six minutes feem this time
it has !melt found taat the sleep be-
gins to be less deep. In an hour the
sleeper is again in the same condition
of slumber as at abeut a quarter after
eleven. From this time until after
two o'clock the rest is eteady and
light; from two until four it augments
until it ceases at the customary time
of rising.

A LIFE TRAGEDY. •
A poor unfortunate In one of the great
cities, who had had no work for a long
time because nobody came and forced it
oil him, at least grew desperate.He want-
ed to go to a distant point where a big
Prize fight was to be pulled off, and get
some enJoyment out of life. But this re-
outred money, and wnat his v,lfe earned
at the wash tub was nut sufficient. So
he went forth into the dark night, and
with a mask on his face entered the home
of the Idle riesh, But the idle rich awoke,
and with a piece of gilded furniture pot
him to sleep on the soft Persian rug.
When he awoke he was In the grasp of
a blue -coated tool ot oppreesion, who
thew him into a vile place where there
was no beer. The Judge before whom
he was brought perceived that the man
really needed something, so he gave him
two years at hard labor-leaelag his
struggling wife with nobody in all the
wide world to support but herself and her
children. What could -he do? Nothing,

' THE CANTEEN QUESTIONi,
To the Editor
$4,---1 have read -with interest Sir
pellatt's defence of the centeem
NQ oils will doubt his veracity or his
judgment and many will wish that inert
like Sir Henry Pellatt were always. in
oommand. I have seen the canteen in
operation atid it Was as different to the
description of a under Sir Henry's earn-
mand as day is different from night.
Anyone who mot reeall the investiga,tion
into the operatione of the canteen, in
London, a few years ago, will readily
conclude that the temperance men there
leuew infinitely more about the contemns
than either the eonintandiug offieere or
the ehavlain, judging by the evidence
they gave and what was proved to the
entire satisfaetion of the authorities.
Then we have the opinions of others
who say that when the canteen was
abolished, the amount of crime, drunk-
le:etingeisi se: nd disorder was markedly less-
ened and that peace ated quietness
We have also the opinions of men in
high rank in the United Stetes Army,
Major-Oeneral F. B. Grant was formerly
in favor of the caoteen, but he has
changed his mind, Now he says: "If
the matter were left entirely in my
hands, I would not restore the eauteen."
Or we ratty take the evidence from Mr.
'Winston, Coast Artillery Corps, Port
Munroe, YR. He says: 'My experienee
ineludee eleven years af the beer can-
teens, and eleven without it. The state-
ment is frequently made that the num-
ber of saloons has doubled or trebled
in the vicinity of the army posts, after
the abolition of the canteens and he
proceeds to prove that the very oppasite
is the case.

what use? There is a more serious side
to the question. Will parents allow their
boys to go to camp to run the risk_ of

ter the army sound are dragged down by
