"Do you tIll care to recall them?" she'asked, in a low, broken Voice. "I shall always are to recall anything connected with you," he answered simply; then: "Did I ever thank you, Mildred, for coming to my assistance on that last hunting day? I think not. 1 have no recollection of all that occurred, but they told me how, good to me you were." "It was the very commonest human- ity," she said. course that was all. You would have done the same for any one. I know that. Still I am grateful to you." Then suddenly—"Why did you break off with Lyndon?" "You have asked me that question before," she said. "I know I have, and I know also how rude a question it is to ask; and still I cannot help wishing to learn the answer. "Will you tell me?" She hesitated, and then said, slow- ly -- "He discovered, or fancied, that I did not care sufficiently for him; and he was too honorable to mama, a wo- man who did not accept him willingly of her own accord."' "When did he make that discov- ery?" "We ended our engagement the evening of your accident," else an- tiokered, evasively, and with evident reluctance, "Mildred, if I thought,"• he began, passionately, trying to read her face— "if I dared to believe what your words appear to imply, I might be mad en- ough again to say to you words that have ever fallen coldly on your ear. I would again confees „how fondly I love you—how faithfully clueing all these wretched months I have clung 1:o the sweet memories of you that ever linger in my heart." She shrunk away a little, and cov- ered her face with her hands. "Do you still turn from me, Mild- red? Am I distressing you? Darling,. I will say no more. It is indeed for the last time in my life that I have now spoken. Forgive me, Mildred—I am less than a man to pain you In this way, bat, oh, my dearest, do not. shrink from me, whatever you do; do net let me think I -have taught you to hate me by my persistence.

"Ged-byer he said, once more, and then slowly,, almost feebly, walked down the room toward the door. Miss Trevanion stood gazing after him, her blue eyes large and bright with fear; she had an ietense longing to say sae knew not what. Oh, for words to express' all that was in her heart! Her hands were closely shaped to- gether; her lips, pale and still, refus- ed to move. It was the last time—he had eaid so; if ehe let him go !tow, it was a parting that must be forever; Ned yet she could not speak. Her love, her life eras going, and ehe could not atter the word that would recall him. Already he had turned the handle of the door; the laet moment had indeed eonte--would he not turn? "Denzil!" she dried, desperately, breaking -down by one passionate ef- fort the barrier that had stood go long between them, and held out her hands to him. "My love!" he said, turning. And then in another moment she *Was in his arms, and all the world was for- gotten. "Speak to me, beloved," he ;aid. "What am 1 to say to you?" sho whispered, with her fair head testing happilY against him. "Tell me the One thing 1 hatite tong- ed all these months to hear—tell me that you love me," "I do love you," she answered, free- ly, earileStly. "You know it no, have loved yott a long time, I think— for menthe before 1 'knew it myself."

Remember how unkind you wore te me that day in the wood,' When my poor foot wits sprained, Did you heti) me then?' "No," he answered, absently, being busy thinking for the thousandta time what beautiful eyes site had. His answer dissatisfied her. "Denzil, tell me—did you never, at any time, even for a moment, when was most cruel to you, feel that you detested me?" "Never!" he answered, indignantly, "How could you imagine eue,h a thine!) "I wonder YOU did not," she per- sisted. "Surely every now and then you, must have thought me at least heartless and unfeeling." "I never thought you anything but the sweetest girl in all the world," he declared, earnestly, al am only afraid now that I shall' wake up suddenly and 'find all my happiness as unreal as -.that scene I described to you a while ago." Mildred grew v,ery re, and lowered her eyes, restlessly opening and elinehing her hands in a hurried, un- decided manner. She was evidently making up her mind' to some difficult task, and. finally buried her face on his breast so that it could not be seen. "You mean your dream?" she said, in a low voice. "Denzil, I want to tell you something, It—ft was all true. I did go into your roorn, be- cause you called for me; and I did kiss you and—ho, no—do not look at me, Denzil', It was horrid of me! You must not!" But he did took at the exquisite blushing face and tear -dimmed eyes for all that, and kissed her until not a tear remained. CHAPTER XXVI. The excitement was considerable !it the Trevanion household that evening. The news got about almost, directly though neither Mildred nor Denzil could remember having been the in- former; and everybody was astonished and pleased, and delighted in turn — especially old Blount, who dropped in just before dinner, and having heard the tidings, insisted on kissing Mild- red, wfthout asking permission of any person concerned. Mrs. Younge and Lads% Caroline had first a good cry together and. after- wards arranged the entire wedding, trousseau, presents., and everything else, before there wee time almost to breathe. Frances Syiverton, too, showed herself really happy about ft, though she moderated the warmth of her congratulations by stigmatizing them both- Oa a pair of "muffs," and declared she had seen how it would end from the beginning. "I delft believe you did,", said Den- zil; for instance, your foresight must have received a severe shock when Lyndon was here." "Not a bit of it," returned Frances. "I knew well she wouldnever care for that nice Lyndon, just because he was the very sort of person any one else would love devotedly, and was far superior to yourself. He was too good. for her—that's the fact; he was unable to appreciate him. Now don't abuse me, Denzil—it's not gen- tlemanly; and I cannot' help it it I see through everything. You may recol- lect that I had a presentimeht about you the day you nearly killed your- self." "Well, Frances, you must not have any more preeentimente," said Mil- dred, hastily; "I hate them. They are so stupid; no one should encour- age the feeling." "Oh, must I not?" cried Frances, with a gay laugh, "Is he quite your own property now? Very well, dear, you shall keep all the forebodings about him to yourself for the future, I promise you. But, as Charlie is de- termined to marry me to -morrow, I Prediceit will be a vouring wet day." Poor Lyndon was very little thought of in these days of love -making and merriment. All his devotion, gentle - nese, and true nobility of character were forgotten, or pounted as nothing beside the living, present love, Nev- ertheless, when, a little later, there came a letter froin him to Mildred, telling her how he had. heard, in his distant resting -place, ot her happiness and -wishing her every joy, it struck a repentunt chord in her heart, and made her, for that one day at least, silent and thoughtful—nay, almost sad. "Read. it," she geld to Dehzil. "Alt, X fear he still thinks of mei And it Is all my fault. How mil 1 eVer for- give myself?" "It was very unfortunate, certain- ly," Denzil returned, with hie most matter-of-faet air, when he had fin- ished the letter; ."but, you see, it Wild not be helped, tither he or I was bound to go to the wan and be miserable; and t cannot help Menhir thankful that things have thread out as they tow are.

How the Trawlers Have CoMe to the Aid of Their Country. arm rEP,,••..,0••prwros The birthplace of the British fiehing industry was undoubtedly the' English cha.unei. But no better men ply the trade by net or line than those *which hail Hone .the western and northern ieles and hems the ports of Northern ScotItted. These places are, indeed, natural nurseries for the royal and gterchant fleets, though it is interesting to note that by act of parliament Whale fisher- men were exempterltauring the Na4 poleonic wars from the activities of the Precis gang, Tho coming of great ships ot war and a, etanding navy endea to a great extent oureeountry's early dependence on the larger fisher Craft ID sea bat - In pre -Armada days the fishing ports of the channel provided the largest numbers of crart and seamen (London, even, was less important to the navy than a combination of west country Ports with unfamiliar names), and When a British expedition was to be sent to France the Haller cratt were requisitioned as transports. Light, fast and seaworthy were the fishing boats of the channel—they were used as scouts and patrols, just as their compeers are being used to- day. When war wag declared in August, 1514, thousands of naval • reservists -travelled from the fishing ports and, Wands to rejoin, and though round the depots one heard litany dialects, from Newquay to Scalloway, front Stornoway to Dover, there was onlY one argot of the sea. Donald might ejaculate in Gaelic and his Cornlat neighbor in a dialect akin to the lost British language; but they had com- mon ground in tile epeeeh of their call- ing, as a few days later they hed a common dress in the uniform of 'the royal navy. It was astonishing how smartly these fishermen leapt back intothe drill and duties of Jack Tar, and -how a uniformity of appearance was gain- ed. Bushy beards were trimmed close, matted locks sacrificed, and the raz- or's steady labor produced a man lit- tle different on the surface, from a thousand of his fellows. Such were our fiellerMen warlorS. But the first month of war showed that our fleet was deficient in mine- sweepers, though, of course, with a nucleus squadron of these handy craft. So the trawlers and drifters and car- riers of the Dogger bank, the Iceland and White sea fishermen were called _upon and the surplus men of the fleet drafted back to their old service., And none the less fighters did they prove, though at firet their duties sure but slow and mildly dangerous. Xt least so these men said, but hand- ling a coacuesion bomb powerful en-, ough to splatter their tiny craft can- not ae held to be a pleasure. The submarine war 'was, however, their opportunity. The Germans aimed at the destruction of every ship in the neighborhood of Britain, and certianly did serious damage. But our fishermen -warriors proved real sleuth. -hounds; every' certain evi- dente of the passing submarine was noted—the even waves in calm weath- er, the suddenly breaking wave when there was a capful of wind, the ecared seafowl, the tiny plume of water where the periscope cut its way. And no less ingenious and worthy were the methods of attack. The sub-. marine was patiently followed for hours until compelled to flea the sur- face. He was located by kites and sea- planes. The trawler soon gained the mastery of this monster of the ander seas, and will continue to hold it despite the new inventions of the enemy. There is act invention witieb assiste the location of underwater craft, the eoming of which swept von Tirpitzai invisible fleet from his grasp. The latest declaration of the enemy will compel the men who use the Dog- ger bank to become warriers. Fishing eraft have always been theoretically immune from sinking, now they are to be sunk on sight. But we shalt see the raider jerking' out his machine guise just a few -ne- on& too late, for the Heiserman war- rior, bereft of all other weapon% will certainly use 'the full power of his tiny craft to ram and destrey the en- emysi—From Pearson's Weekly. 4.* ORIGIN OF THE PERISCOPE, The Reflecting Spyglass Used at . the Siege of Sebastopol. .

They Draw Only One lYloral From the Biblical Story, There ts still firm belief in Jonahs at sea. Recently a sailor, vvho was Prose- cuted for failing to join a British admit-- elty transport, pleaded in excuse that he was known te seamen generally as Jonah, and that the sailors on the trans- port had tereatened to throw his over - bowl if he did Join'. Gertainly if etiperstition ehr could ho rational, they had some reason for theirs, The sailor haa served on the ',Mantle and the Empress of Ireland, both of which were wrecked, and on the Lust - tuella and Florizan, both of which were torpedoed. It seems a pity that sailors shotild know the story of the prophet Jonah, since they get ouly ono moral from it. The book was certainly not written to instruct sea- men hoar to deal vita lonales. Yet it Is unfortunately the only moral which senors seem to draw. Jonah is probably the character best 'known to them in the Old Testament, and what they know about him is that he caused bad -weather through his own feult, and was very properly dealt with by his fel- low voyagers, They forgot, if they ever knew, that the sailors cast lotto dis- cover who -was the cause of the bad -weather and that lot fell upon aona.n. Tho jonahs ,of modern times v.re not discovered by such meanie nor do they ask to be thrown overboard. They are assumed to be Jambs because they have been uncommonly unfortunately. Per - hops they are pitied :le well as shunrica for their misfortune, but have done some- thing to deserve them, Lino then the tat- perstitious fear of their fellows becomes cruel. The worst of It is that a Timah may himself share the superstition and may bo unnerved by the thought that he is marked out for misfortune. But even lane...men who believe them- selves free of superstition are apt to he Intiznidated by a run of ill luck. and that it must continue unless by spine means the curse, whatever it may be, is removed. The worst of superstitious talesas that they are often true, that men do have extraoreinary runs of ill luck in life as at cards. The superstition lies in the canclusion that are drawn from them. For in life as in cares a run of ill luck is against the average, and sooner or later the average will right itself. Superstition always suggests that there IS something ;wrong. That is the devil- ish cunning of .our animal fears, and the only way to frustrate it Is to be against ouperstition Altogether, in small things as in great—in fact, to cultivate an al- most irrational unbelief In all superstit- ious tales. We need to b a almost superetItious in Our fear of superstition, as a reeormed drenkard needs to avoid wine. — • NT Corns INSTANT .

Galt and Grice are old dialect words of the same meaning. Tad meant fox, Fitchie was a. pole cat, and so the keen student of languages, traces the beginnings of our names in the old dialects.

SUMMER HEAT HARD ON BABY No season of the year is so danger- ous to the life of little ones as is the summer, The excessive heat throws the little stomach out of order so quickly that unless prompt aid is at hand the baby may be beyond all hu- man help before the mother realizes he is ill.

Whets the Tudorcame to the throne in 14a5, the rose was conventlenalized fen' their emblem, and in this form en- terea largely into decorative motifs of that period, and may be seen upon Tudor style furniture right up to the end of the Elizabethan reign—the last of the Tudors—in 1603. The painter upca porcelain had per- haps done more to keep the rose to the front aa a decorative teature than any other art industry, and it is a noteworthy circumstance that the most extensive rose growing Centres in England aro those contiguous to the pottery making towns. • With acre upon acre of the Queen Of Flowers to select from in their ahnost infinite variety in size, form and color, the china painter, men though he le constantly portraying some new and miming trick in light and shade, new tint, or hitherto ;un- known growth, the reeult of selehlatie etiltivetiOn a freak of inexhaustible nature, still hao a long way to go be- fore the beauties of his subject are ex- haueted. 'With perfect drawing of this beautiful flo-wer the most delicate and natural tones of color are eteeloyed, resulting in very pleasing pictures, the natural arrangement of to blooms and the foliage, thrown into promin- ence or partly obscured by Genie sub- tle effeet oelight and shade appear to stand out from the background almost as though of natural growth. No antique in English china is more highly prized than the specimcn bearing the hall meek of William Bil- lingsley, jently regarded as the prem- ier rose painter of the early daye of British porcelain,- arid an artist identi- fied with the beat work of more estab- lishmento than any other famous cer- amic artist, his work being associated -with Derby, Pinxton, Worcenter, Nantgarw and Ccalpert.

His parents wished him to Mee up a medical car- eer, and he began his studio with fiChtle zeal. The loveof the drama, however, was far greater. than the love of the pill box, and in the inter. vat of the other work Sardott was busy upon a play. Life was a strug• gle for him, for he had little money, though he managed to get Journalistic work to supplement his more slender income. His first play was a failure, and &tracts rushed from the theatre vowing never to miter one amen.

SINGING SANDS, Peculiar Properties of These Our - ions Freaks of Nature. 61,....••••••••10.,•••=. The most notable of those curious fretats of nature, "anging semis," are those of the IlaWallan island of Kauai. When it small quality of this sand is clap - red between the hands it is said to give forth a sound so shrill as actually to re, fallible a hoot, Put into a bag and violently shaken, the sand emits a noise strangely like the barle of a deg. Similar sands also occur in the Colo- rado ,desert, -where also aro to be found those curious nonsedentary sands that centinually travel hither and thither over the vest plein of elaY. Their movements are luditeed by the wieds, and when a strong breeze is. blowing the particles of which they are 'composed give out an teueible humming or singing. lender the microscope these sands show an ulmost perfectly spherical form, so that they roll upon each other at the slightest impulse,ea circumstance that al- so accounts for the rapidity with which the and travel over the desert. One theory advanced with respect to the "singing" of these sands is that it is duo to an exceedingly thin film of gas that cevers the greiris.• Gathered and re- moved from the desert, the sands lose their vocal proporties.--leachange.
