Dan sat bolt upright, his face' expressing surprise and coesternation. Involuntarily he repeated the words that came to him. "The doctor says 'Willie can't live. None of us have the courage to tttl him, poor b'y. He should be told. Would Dan McCarthy do it if we asked him? He would be the one -him with his blissed gift of words." Dan sank back upon the grass and groaned softly, The sound of the voices gradually became less distinct. Silence again. The. grosbeak renewed his song and Dan looked at him re- proachfully, • . , • . .. a "'Tis so it goes, little bird," he sighed. "Life is first one thing, thin another, and for why? Where, I won- der now, will yer song go when ye die?" The- song rose higher, clearer, sweeter. "Yis, yis, I know, little bird -ye should worry. But I'm thinkin' the song goes on just the same, only we, with our coarse human ears, can't hear it." He rose heavily to his feet and his way by a circuitous route h ward, his head bowed, his h clasped behind his back. At dinner he was largely si responding with his eyes to M animated recountal of the gossip had heard at church. He was a listener, Dan. "And so," said Mary, concludin story she had been telling, "Wi father gave Willy's wife the money ' to go to her folks with, and 'tis said he also gave her a piece of his mind • along with it.

But no senile was upon Den's face. The gravity of the sphinx sat upon those rough and wrinkled features, and he passed down the street looking neither to the right nor to the left. He came. again to the tree by the river and bared his head beneath the blossoms. ."0 God," he cried, "I've gone as far Its I can, and I am least"' ye to do with it what'ye see fit to do. •Ye took me wife and ye took me b'y, for why dunno, but 'tis all right. 1 am tryin' to play the game square.

He - was in a much more cheerful frame of mind at supper than be had been at dinner, and when Mary told him of having seen the doctor coming from the Ross home and that Willy was much improved, he had laughed outright. rom "How did you do it, you wonderful ned man?" asked the girl. girl the war? And how later he e.xplai ear, "I told hirn, Moller, that his wife that she was homesick, poor d which was why he got her father mother out for a visit?

"There is something wrong with Willy, Father," rejoined Mary prac- tically; "he has the pneumonia and air ;the doctor says he is going to die." "Yis ?"

Still Pay Pensions Dated First Empire. • The French Government is' looking into the pensions paid. to the descend- ants of heroes of many centuries ago with a view of cutting down expendi- tures. The valor of a forefather of the D'Assas family, the Captain of ,the Auvergne regiment who sacrificed his life On the eve of the battle of Klos- terkamp in 1760 to prevent surprise of the French army is still recognized and a pension paid to the desceudante. Seventy-eight pensions dating from the Filed Empire are being paid to it this day to deveentlatts of Austerlitz and Friedland heroes, More than pensions are received by the ric- ht , tines of the Coup d'Etat of December 2, 1351, and seyenty-three by the vic- tims of the revolution ,eI 1848, whether they were defendere of order and liberty or not.

A river is called by some 'word which merely signifies "the water," a mountain may have a name which means "the peak," "the castle," "tho point."
