had filled that poor, fragile Irame, what
an infinity of Jove that feebly beating
heart! Ah, What a lesson was it to the
girl crouched in t•hat sick -room to bury
self and live for others! •
Toward ,early dawn -the girlwas
worn out with fatigue and sorrow-
Margery's eyes closed; anti, with her
wealth of red -gold curl e• spread over the
coverlet, she slumbered peacefully. Lady
Enid woke early. She was faint, even
weaker than the night had left her; yet,
es she saw the daylight creep into the
room, her heart ahnoet 'leaped with joy
-her mind was at rest. Her eyes linger-
ed with tenderness on Margery's tired
-head; and, as the first rays of the morn-
ing sun touched the luxuriant treses of
hair, .making them as a ruddy -golden
halo, she murniured, "Nugent will be con-
tent by and by," and lay back, waiting
tin her maid or Margery should awake.
The sun was well up before Margery
raised her heavily fringed •eyelide,• but,
once itemised, shewas angry with herself
for sleeping,
"My sWeet Margery," vvliispered Lady
Enid, "my poor tired darling!"
"Forgive me," murmured Margery.
"Forgive you! You were worn out, Lis-
ten, darling! Nugent will be her soon.

gown. She smiled faintly. "T -I wish it;
you shall have no bad omens, at "your

Margery hesitated. and then obeyed
silently.
"Heaven give me strength 1" prayed
Enid. as she felt herself growing faint.
'Sat. this otte thing, this marriage over,

Margery went to her room, end list-
lessly allowed the maid to wave her hair
and adjust the simple white cambric
dress; but her hands were trembling and
her senses numb. A wedding! It seented

after that, Sir Douglas Gerald left for

Ills cousin's visit broke the spell of
Stuart's morbid inactivity. The mono-

appall him. He could no longer sit and
nurse himself; lie was restless, alzuost
feverish in his movements. He wet out

"Our rules provide for the use of de-
tonators (commonly known as torped-

Woodward, of the Shore Line
division, gives the additional detail re-
gTeling torpedoes:
'When a train stops upon the main
line and requires .protection against a
fells wing' train, the flaginan goes back
a sreciflea distence and places one tor-
pedo. Ile then continues, a farther dis-
tance back. placing twb torpedoes. As
soon as the train he Is protecting is
reedy to startthe engineer blows a see-
eified .whistle Signal, which is a motive
to the flagman to return to his train.
On the way back he picks up the one
torpedo,leaving two 'on the rail to warn
the engineer of im approaching train
!that another train is a short distance
ahead. And to give the flagmart time to
rue ba.ck and get aboard, of his own
