I drew my lamp from my pocket and walked ahead. There was a long passageway--then_to the left a furnished room. I called aloud to awaken the occupants, No voice re- sponded. The house was empty. Since I was the sole possessor for the night and there was little chance_ that. the owners would return in such weather, I decided to install Inyself as comfort- ably as possible and go to sleep I CUT found copper candlesticks' on a man- tel -piece. I lighted the candles. In the room were chair, a table and a Peasant clothes -closet. But 'all: the furniture seemed to have been chosen by a city person with rustle taste rath- er than by country people. "It is a lucky chance which brought I me here," I said to myself. "At dawn. I shall get, out, for after that I might not find a welcome." The tempest raged outside, I was so tired that I closed my eyes as soon J If you rolyor own. ashfor InmE ©OR (keen WA Surnames and Their Origin SMALL Variations --Little, Pettit, Lepetit. Racal Origin --English and French. Source—A characteristic. Here is a family name, with varia- tions, which "means just what it says." If you bear this name you may be sure that the particular ancestor of yours who first bore it was a small man unless, perhaps, he was promi- nent for his great size. At any rate, he was not of medium build. Some people find it difficult to con- ceive how such a surname as this can develop into a hereditary family name. They grant that ,it was natural to speak of a John who was little, as "John Little," or "Little John," But they don't understand by what Iaw or 14- rule all his descendants have borne it, for in the first place the name was merely descriptive of the individual, Well, to begin with, not more than a very small percentage of the persons to whom the name was descriptively applied passed it on to their children. Faintly names did not develop sudden- ly, They took form gradually, over a period of three centuries or more. In one family the name might have be- come hereditary in the twelfth cen- tury, in another in the fourteenth. Then, too, It is not uncommon for the children of small parents to be small, So a man's son might be called Little, not so much because his father bore the name, as because he, too, actually was undersize. As the strongest evidence that the names Little and Small developed from this descriptive source, we have the corresponding names of Pettit and Lepetit in French. Lepetit leaves no possible doubt, being a combination of "le" and "petit"—"the small." L WALDO. Racial Origin -- Gothic, French. Source—A given name. Here is a family name which does not sound English, a name borne by Ralph Waldo Emerson, and though it has been settled in England as a fami- ly ammly name for many centuries, it is not an English name. It is traceable to no given names among either the Anglo-Saxons or the Norman French, nor to any other likely source in the language of those peoples. On the other hand, it is traceable genealogically, through the settling in England of a family bear- ing that name, to a. certain merchant of Lyons named Peter Waldo, who in the twelfth century attracted consider- able attention for his denial of the church's doctrine of transubstantia- ion and his translation of the gospels into French, or rather the Provencal langgage. ',Vlth this clue it is not difficult to trace his family name (and this was just the period when family names were beginning to come into exist- ence) to a given name among the Goths. Comparatively little is known of the language of this Teutonic race which dominated all southern Europe after smashing the Roman Empire, for both the language and the customs of the Goths gave way rapidly before the superior civilization which they con- quered and settled themselves into. Their nomenclature, however, persist- ed, exerting a powerful influence on that of modern France and Italy. The given name in question appar- ently was derived from the Gothic word. "Valdan," and signified "one who rules." Names ending in "o" were as typical of the Goths and the Franks as those ending in "a" were of the Anglo-Saxons. or ancient BABY'S OWN TABLETS AN EXCELLENT REMEDY When ales baby is ill—when he is constipated, has indigestion; colds; colic or simple fever or any of the other many minor ills of little ones— the mother will find Bab:'s Own Tab- Iets an excellent remedy.

McPherson I was eighteen years old. For the first time I was free. My parents had allowed me to snake a trip alone through the country. For a whole month I could realize my dream of rambling over the Breton roads, my sack on my back, without worrying about the length of the march, sleep BRITISH WARSHIPS TOO, TORR WORLD, Five light cruisers of the type shown in the picture are to start in Novena ber on a tour of the world in which outlying parts of the Empire will be visited.

Brand. as I sat down on the beneli which I intended to make ray couch, and I thought I was dreaming when I heard these words: "What are you doing in my house?" I gave a start. - No, it was, not a dream. Two steps away was a woman who, a candle in her hand, was ex- amining me curiously. - "You came to rob me?" She spoke so audaciously and had the air of being so little frightened my presence that I did not know what to answer and contented myself with looking at her closely. She was a young woman and very good-looking, as far as I could judge, for the water was streaming from her clothes. Her locks, escaping from under her hat, were matted against her cheeks. But even so, nothing could alter the purity of her profile, and I could see her wide blue eyes glitter like two pale sap- phires. "Well," she continued, "are you afraid?" As she said this she drew a revol- ver from her pocket. I jumped up. "But, mademoiselle"— "Don't be afraid. It is not for you. It is for me. So I am going to give you a piece of advice If you want to keep out of trouble and avoid being accused of a crime, go away I intend to kill myself. And if they know that you spent the night here" -- I was sure that she was not joking. She expressed herself calmly, without bravado and toyed with the weapon in her hand as she might have toyed with a pendant to her necklace. "You want to kill yourself?" eyes." "maye "For reasons which don't interest you." "Nevertheless, what justifies you in killing yourself?" "No—no moralizing. If you please. There is something so ridiculous in our dialogue at this hour and in this place, that I almost feel like leaving you here and killing myself outside on the road." "But it is raining too hard. You want to shoot yourself, but you are afraid of the rain!" "It is true. And now, go. I beg you, leave me here alone You don't know me. What difference does it make to you if I kill myself? At my age, when one is tired of life, it is be- cause one has suffered in love, The man whom I loved has just deserted me, in spite of my tears. I am indif- ferent to everything, I can neither smile nor weep. I ask your pardon for sending you away. But it must be. Go. Continue your journey. Think of me until the, dawn. And swear to me that you will never tell any one what you have seen. She put the weapon and the candle on the table. She pushed me out and slammed the door violently • behind me. I know that I ought to have resist- ed, that I ought to have defended her against her folly. But I had neither the time nor the strength to do so. We had talked but a few minutes, and the scene which I had passed through was so strange and so unexpected that out on the road I hardly knew if it had not been all a dream. I walked ahead abstractedly in the rain and mud. I paid no attention to the howl- ing of the wind. I tried to keep on my feet and to plunge through. the RHEUMATIC SUFFERERS May Obtain Relief by Enriching' the Blood Supply. In the days of our fathers and grand- fathers, rheumatism was thought to be the unavoidable penalty of middle life and old age. Almost every elderly person had rheumatism, as well as many young people. It was thought that rheumatism was the mere effect of exposure to cold and damp, and it was treated with liniments and hot applications, which sometimes gave temporary relief, but did not remove the trouble. In these days there were many cripples. Now, medical science understands that rheumatism is a dis- ease of the blood, and that with good rich red blood any man or woman of any age can defy rheumatism. There are many elderly people who have never felt a twinge of rheumatism, and many who have conquered it by simply keeping their blood rich and pure. The blood enriching qualities of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is becoming every year more widely known, and the more general use of these pills has robbed rheumatism of its terrors, At the first sign of poor blood, which is shown by loss of appetite, dull skin and dim eyes, protect yourself against further ravages of disease by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They have helped thousands—if you give them a fair trial they will not disappoint you. You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Timely Thoughts. Genius does nothing without reason. Music may be termed the universal language of mankind. Music has, like society, its laws of propriety and etiquette. What is genius else than a priestly power revealing God to the human soul, Music is never stationary, succes- sive forms and styles are only like so many resting places on the read to the ideal. A sympathetic recognition is as- sured to everyone who concentrates his art to the divine service of a con- viction of a econsciousness. God and Religion. I wish it were possible to speak of God without the implication of dealing with religon. By this I mean that I am anxious to keep religion out of this subject of the conquest of fear.
