Later In the morning, as she was trying to Cross the crowded market place with a basket of rosy-cheeked apples an her ar'm, a gay cavalcade of horsemen came galloping down the highroad. At the sound of the horses' hoofs the throng scattered, but Mary Orpin, confused and 'bewildered, stop- ped short in her tracks. She might have been knocked down by bho-rlying hoofs of the foremost horse had not the rider, catching stilt of the littlo figure, reined up abruptly and thrown out a warning arm as a sign to his companions to do likewise. As the cavalcade tante to a elharp halt the rider an the first 'horse, a dark -eyed, graceful young man with a pointed beard, cried gayly: "Ila, little one, do not be frighten- ed! See, thou and thy basket are safe, Hest an apple for, me and my merry friends?" Little Mary, frightened no longer, laughed •and• curtsied low in the cob- bled roadway. Then she went Inlay- ing over to. the polite horseman, but in her haste she stumbled. She threw out both hands •and managed to keep herself from falling, but her basket fell to the ground. The apples *ent rolling to right and left under the horses' hoofs and were quilikl-y trampled to a pulp. Mary Orpin wept piteously. "They were for my grandmother," .she said between her sobs, "Alacicad.ay!" exclaimed the tall young rider who had first spoken. Steeping in the saddle, he swung the little girl upon his saddlebow, ' Weep not, little one," he said, "Thy grandmother will not fret when she finds her little apple -blossom maid unhurt," The child fearlessly buried lier face in his msigrificent starched ruff. 'W'here do you live?" the horseman asked, When Mary told him where herr grandmother's cottage was, without a word to his smiling companions he swung his horse round and cantered down the road. A gaping, chattering crowd of willage folk followed them. Mary was beaming with delight when the stranger left her at the gate. She rushed in to her grandmother.. The old woman was still busily spin- ning for the county fair, which prom- ised to be an unusually fine fair, for, so the rumor ran, Queen Eliza- beth was to be present on the third day, which was the chief day of all. "Where are the apples I told thee to get at market?" the old woman asked. The smile faded from little Mary's face, and -tears rushed to her eyes. "0 grandam," she said, "they are all ruined!" Then she stammered out the story of her adventure. "But see," she finished, "see what a ,beau- tiful gentle gave me to pay for my loss. Ise said it would buy many apples and a farthingale for thee and new ribands for my hair!" She stepped closer and held open the pocket of her apron. Int was full of shining gold pieces. Her grandmother raised both hands, "Heaven help us!" she exclaimed in a frightened voice. "No English coins are these!" She took up a gold piece but a rude, fierce pirate 'must have given them to thoel" But Mary shook her brown curls, "No,grandam,' she paid positively. "Ile Wee no pirate; that I know. He was in truth out Englishman, and the money was his own." That satisfied the old woman. With trembling hands who took a jar down from the chimney mantel and poured the bright, clinking coins• into it, "To=morrow, Mary, you may go again," she acid, Mary clapped her hands. "Grand- am,' she cried, "you shall have a farthingale almost as fine as the queen's ownl" On Sunday, the day before the fair, Mary Orpin and her grandmother went to church at East Budleigh. Mary Orpin wore a riband in her bonny haw, and her grandmother had a fine new farthingale and at bier neck a starched ruching. They found the village in great excitement. A large crowd had• gath- ered in the street and before the church; trumpets blew end banners waved. "What is it all about?" they asked the sexton, • "Hest not heard,'?" he asked. "Queen Bess herself is visiting De- vonshire and this day she conies to church. Also, many of the court do follow in her train, Chiefly, she hon- ors Sir Walter Raleigh, who returned this week past from 'across the seas." "Sir Walter Raleigh!"' shouted the people. "Three cheers for Sir Walter of Devon! Time cheers fox our great Queen Bess!" Tho throng parted, and Queen Elizabeth came through, riding on a white palfrey; a wonderful retinue rode with her. Little .,Mary Orpin stared at the silks and satins of the lords and ladies and at the beautiful robes and jewels of the queen herself. She had never eeen such [beauty and richness before. Then she noticed a young man in purple velvet and a beautiful ruff who rode beside the queen. Ali„ she knew who that was! She recognized him by his small pointed beard and his sparkling brown eyes. Seizing her grandmother by the arm, -she pointed to the rider, and cried shrilly. "Oh, look, grandam! There is the fine gentle -no pirate at all, you see!" ' People turned to see who had spoken, and little Mary, remembering her manners, grew very red. "Hush thee!" her grandmother said sharply, "To think of thy boldness!" The queen reined in her horse, and all the riders followed her example. She looked down at the little girl, and her eyes twinkled. "Right, ley lass! Our brave Sir Waiter is no pirate but a very fine gentle indeed!" She leaned down from her saddle and playfully tweaked one of Mary's, curls. As for Sir Walter Raleigh, he waved the plumed hot that he carried in his hand and, smiling, bowed low to the little Devonshire lass. The crowd stared. No fine lady in England ever had a more gracious .bow than that, "Gentle of heart and gentle of hand," little Mary sang under her breath as she followed the crowd into the church, "Gentle of heart and gentle of hand, that's what makes a gentleman"; the refrain kept running in her mind. "But, alas! I can never be a gentle- man," she thought with a pang. Then her shall face brightened. "I know, I know," she said to herself; "I'll see if I can't be a gentlewoman -perhaps that will do just as well!" -Youth's ansa examined it. "No g'entleman,1 Companion. TUE EMPIRE'S MOST FAMOUS FORTRESS TOWER OF TERRIBLE MEMORIES. Romantic History of Tower of Landon, the Mecca of Sights• seer's in Old Land.

The walls of the Keep are fifteen feet thick and eleven feet above the ground. It was not until the reign of Henry III, tint the Tower of London assumed anything approaching its present ap- pertranco, and after that several mon- archs added to the structure at "tal'i- ous times. The Tower became a State prison because it was almost impregnable. It was also used as a Royal Palace -the last time by Charles II. British coinage was struck in the Tower until 1312, so that this wonder- ful fortress is closely identified with the -whole of British history, It Won in the Council Chamber on the top floor of the Keep that Richard II. gavo up his crown to Henry of Lan- caster•. His death has always been a mystery, bat it is probable that he was starved to death. The execution of Anne Boleyn was also decided upon in the 'rower, and she spent the last seventeen days of her Life there. Places of Oppression.

They are all at work upon farms at the present time with the intention of securing holdings for themselves next year. It is reported that a three million dollar factory for e,pineing and twist- ing fax will be erected in Calgarry, a commencement being made hi the fall. The choice of the site is said to Ile be- tween Winnipeg and Calgary, with the Alberta' city the more favored. A new Alberta rye, Rosen, originat- ing from seed imported from Michigan and introduced by the Noble Founda- tion, has shown peculiar aptitude to climatic conditions here and will be- come a standard crop. It grows well in dry soil, onty'felcls the ordinary varieties, and Stands up well against frost. The domestic ranching of silver fox- es and blank foxes is extending in Al- berta. The latest addition to the list of Alberta fox ranching companies is the Medicine Hat Silver Fox Company, incorporatedwith a capital of 150,000 to operate a fox farm in this district, According to a cablegram from Bris- tol, England, the Prince of Wales was a notable winner with his exhibits of Shorthorn cattle and Shropshire sheep at the Bath and West Southern Coun- ties Agricultural Show, being the win- ner of most of the prizes, He de- clared his intention of shipping some of these farm sristocrate to his ranch in Alberta where there is already a fine blooded aggregation A Singing Mouse. Entering an outbuilding one day, writes a correspondent, I saw near a hole in the floor a shall, plump mouse, apparently not yet full-grown. It seem- ed scarcely afraid of me -and retreated to the hole with ao little ]taste that I wondered whether I could tempt it out again with food. Going back a few steps to a basin of table scraps, I selected a bit of cheese rind and a Morsel of cake, Soon after I had placed the food near the hole the bold little outlaw appeared and ate the cheese. Then as he nib- bled the calve he gave me ono of the greatest surprises of manna -one that would have amazed mo still more if I had not already read of that rare animal, a singing mouse. Tho song that proceeded from my little guest RS he raised his head from the cane consisted of three not021, Tie first was low and husky, a glnttural sound that lasted only a few seconds; that was followed by a silvery trill on two high notes utterly beyond roach Of the human arnica and 111111150 those of any bird or insect I have ever heard. The fairylike song lasted a1: least ten seconds. Then after a brief rest the mouse repeated it --the brief, low note and the prolonged trill. When I anally moved the mouse with- drew to the hole, Although the food that I often placed there afterwards always. disappeared, I never saw or heard 1.110 mouse again, Forest Reserves and Game Protection.

Filet and foremost are the Elgin Marbles, which Shelley called the "despair of modern art" They con. slat of remains of the most glorious building of !iniquity, the Parthenon, at Athens. Though they wore bought from Thomas Bruce, seventh Earl of Pugin (aftei' whole they are named) for £36,000, they are new beyond price, One of the marbles, the Theseus, is by common consent the tlnest repre- sentation in existence of .a man's figure. Though it was worked when the world was comparatively young -- far it dates to the fifth century before Christ --it forms a class of its' own. Next, perhaps, to the Elgin Marbles, comes' the Demeter, by far the most beahtiful statue of a draped woman in the world: It belongs to the third century before Christ, and was found in a Tacos sanctuary at Cactus in 1868. • Another priceless gem is the Port- land Vase, which was found in a sepul- chral chamber near Rome in the six- toonlh century, Belonging to the bo - ginning of the Roman Empire, it is unique in craftsmanship, as it is made of two layers of glass, white on top and blue beneath. Copies of it -s much inferior, of course, to the origin- al, and yet beautiful -were manufac- tured to Josiah Wedgwood and sold at fifty guineas each. Of almost unrivalled interest and value, too, is the Rosetta Stone, which solved one of the world's greatest inysterloe-the meaning of the hiero- glyphica .on Cloopatrlt'e Needle, 1702' thirteen bendr0(1 years nobody could 0001911er noose inseriptiohs, Then, at Itosetta, near Alexandre, wee found .a Blab of leash basalt, en which Was an ineerlptice in three scripts--hderogly, plies, demotic (otherwise known as pOaplO's writing), olid Greek, and this stone was the 11160119 of reconstructing the dead language and solving Um problem that had balked mulcted for ages, The hey was tlr0 Greek, which was used to decipher the piotoral ricolli , acid when that was' done scholars were able to read the 11eh'oglyptlios on the Pyramids; and the myriad other relics 04 ancient Egypt, It took twenty years of close study to discover the great aeerot. A flood of light was thrown on some of the fifty thousand or so objects from. ancient Egypt which are in the British Museum, notably "The Book of the Dead," another wonder of the na- tion's treasure -house, e. This was in use before the 131b1e was written, and took four thousand years to complete. Connected with these marvels are two Assyrian tablets setting forth the Babylonian story of the Creation and of the Flood. These wonderful tablets }wore dis- covered in the library of Aesurbani- Pal, who reigned over Assyria seven years before 'Christ. They were among thousands of clay tablets con- taining rare and ancient works. Another object in the 13ritish Mus- eum that is tco valuable for money to buy is the Magna (Marta, the great Charter of our liberties, which is sup- psed to have been 8191100 by Ring John, As a platter of fact, the Ring did net sign it. According to the Charter itself, it was "given by our hand," whish in this ease means that the Great Seal was attached. WHEN THE PRINCE OF WALES VISITS INDIA BIG "EUNDOBAST" IS ON THE PROGRAM. His Royal Highness Will Atr tend Sitting of New Council off State in Delhi. The projected visit of the Prince of Wales to India in November will be in accordance with the precedent e tall- hlehed in the case of Ring Edward and Bing' George V. when heirse to. the throng. Although the program of the tour is not yet complete, it may be taken for granted, having regard to the Duke of Connaught's recent visit, that social rather than political engagements will preponderate. What India wants is to see the Prince, for, 110 matter what its political grievances, its loyalty, to the royal house is unquestionable. 1t is highly probable, says Harold Sanders in the London Daily Express, that there will be'shikar" in the Nepal tarai, which abounds with tiger and every species •al game. This involves a "bundobast" of a magnitude of which the roan in the street leas no conception -the gathering of a small army of highly trained elephants, camp equipment which will transform the jungle dwelling into a miniatlrre hotel, and the isolation of a selected area, miles in extent, to ensure a suc- cessful bag. There will be an abundance of sport, both big and featherd game, for the prince. Bikaner State, for instance, which is almost certain to be honored with a visit, offers •the finest sand - grouse sbooting in the world. There are so many birds in the Gujner oasis that a bag of 2,000 head for twenty guns is by no means infrequent. A Real Indian Nautch. It will also bo in the native States that the Prince will witness the real Intlirn ntuttch, TLo majority of tho ruling chiefs retain profeselonal dan- cers for performing cueing- state shows. On those occasions the dan- cers, often a hundred in number, wear richly variegated ani bejeweled cloth- ing, and dance in crescent formation Li the music of.. quaint instruments, agairr;t a background of glittering and many -colored illuminations. These performances are regarded as state functions, and full dress is worn, On such occasions, which are invari- ably preceded by a state banquet, the Indian princee wear jewels of fcbu- leas worth, Christmas womb is tamest certain to be spent in Calcutta, where the raocs for the (ting -Emperor's Cup and the Viceroy's Cup will ho run. Interested parties may litre to as' 500112te the possibility of political "boons" with the Princ0'21 visit, but with the now reforms scheme just in- auguratecl it is difficult to see, says Mr. Sanders, what further boons could be conferred, His Royal ,Highness, however, will probably see the now council. of state and assembly aft .work in Delhi, and India's Imperial capital may witness yet another Dunbar.

The Forestry Branch of. the Department of the In- tortor has issued Bulletin No. 69, "The Farmer's Woodlot," which may be had frog upon application to the Director of Forestry, Ottawa. For the Prairie Provinces there is a similar bulletin No. 1, "Tree -Planting on the Prairies," which is also sent free to applicants. Value of Forests. Canada is one of the greatest forest countries of tho world. Much of our Canadian soil is unsuited to farming, but is capable 0f growing magnificent timber, Our forests provide work which maintains half a million people. They give work, too, for our sailors and railway men and furnish business for our merchants and bankers, All citizens can assist in taking care of our forests and, particularly in pro- tecting them against' fire. Interest in Tree Planting. In Eastern Canada provincial and' municipal authorities aro engaging in the work of tree planting both for tim- ber production and to Bold sands from drifting over good land. In Western Canada dozens of cities and towns aro planting trees along stroe•ts and In parks, while thousands of farmers are setting out shelter -belts and wind- breaks. This increased interest aug- urs well for forest protection, because people who value tree) enough to• plant them are not going to allow growing forests to be burned up with- out demanding a reason, Judge Not. In leen wham mon condemn as 111, I find so much of goodness still, In men whore men pronounce divine,. I find co much 0f sin and blot, I hesitate to draw the line, Between the two, when God has not. Joaquin Miller,. While There's Life— A motor -car was careering down a beautiful truly rural country lane, with millions of twists and turns, when, suddenly swinging round one of the corners, the driver found a hay - cart about two yards ahead of him. As the car was travelling at thirty miles an ]lour, and the cart at three miles an hour, the odds seemed on a collision, Before an honest man had time to place the bet with a book- maker the collision occurred. The driver of the hay cart was tllmown into the road on his head, and lay there in a semi-conscious condition until the two occupants of the motor- car lifted ]rim to the side of the lane. Another rustle cane up at that mo- ment, and upon inquiries the motorists dis'coveres that the nearest houses were an undertaker's shop two miles in one direction, and a doctor's house which they had passed one mile and three-quarters behind then in the road they had just conic along. "Shall we take him to the under- taker's shop or back to the doctors'?" asked the first of tiro motorists. The victim of the accident raised his head and cried: "Take me to the doctor's first, you fools!" Absolute Slience.
