Howard, fervently. 'And I am one of
those men who never break a Promise

The phaeton drove on. Stafford went

diose a fly, as carefully as if the fate
of a kingdom depended on it, and be-

hard enough to snake even the opposite

And to put it frankly, itwas some.;
thing like fascination.. She had conte
upon him so suddenly, her feat of horse-
manship had been so audacious, her
beauty` Was so striking,. that Stafford,
perhaps • for thefirst time in his life,
found -himself unable to utter 0 word
in the presence of one of the opposite
,sex, .It was only for a momentor two;
bf course, that be lost his pt'eSenee 0f
mind; then lie pulled hilnseiftogether
and raised his cap. She gave him the
very.• slightest, of bows. 1t was the
faintest indication only of response to
his salute; her eyes rested on his face
with a strange,, unglrlish calm, then
wandered. to the. last trout which lay
on the , bank. - ,
Stafford'. felt that something had to
be said, but for the life of hiss, for the
first time in his experience, lie couldn't
hit up the thing to say. "Good -after-
noon' seemed to him too banal, too
commonplace; and--hecould think o1.'
nothing else for a moment. However,
it 'came at last.
"Will you be so good as to toll me
if I alit far from Carysford?" 11e asked.
"Four miles and three=quarters by
the road, three miles over the hill," she
replied, slowly, as. calmly as 5110 had
looked 'at him, and in a: voice low and
sweet, and with a- ring, a tone, in it
which in some indefinable way harmon-
ized with her. appearance. It was quite
unlike the conventional girl's voice;
there rang in it the freedom of the lone-
ly valley, the towering hills, the free-
dom and unconventionality of the girl's
own llgure and face and wind -tossed
hair; and; in it was a note of dignity, of
independence, and of a pride which was
too proud for defiance. In its way the
voice was as remarkable as the beauty
of the face, the soft fire of the dark
eyes.

She'leant forward with her elbow on

gauntleted hated, looked up the . valley
absently and then back at. him, 'with -a
frank speculation in her eyes' -Which was
too trunk and calm to be flattering, and
was, indeed, somewhat embarrassing.
"1 suppose shetakes me for a tour-

amusement; uncomfortable because he

said; -but the trout run. larger higher

tante together slightly, though the very

the delicately curved lips, "do you know

it's not unlikely ,he'll: get sonc' :sort

One int a Time.
I had -preached about Lent., •self-
denial, fasting, : giving up things,
and so on. Most particularly I had
emphasized the point that Lent as
the time of .all times to learn to 'say
"No 1" In the week I met an old
t'illa'ge, and jokingly s'all'ied hila as
to what he was going to give up.
"What bo 1 going to give up ? I
he goin'^to give up Conlin' to church
till you'm come more sensible -

1 .overtook a ploughman home-
ward plodding his weary sway, and
observed that rte w'asnt smoking.
"Given up your pipe for Lent,
George?" I inquired.
"No-o=o 1"—with surprised indig-
nation. "Got 5110 'baccy, patrson !
Excuse 711e snaking 'so bold', but I
suppose—" And lie waited rug:
Restively,.
I dick the proper and expected
thing, and produced my pouch.
"You bain't knocked it off nei-
ther, I sec," he ,said, as he filled

"One pipe a clay, George; 'that's

"That's, all right, ;parson. I
sha'n't tell no, one," he said, with
a meaning wink. . "One at a time—
eh 7"
Arising out of the Lenten virtue
of learning to say "No," I had a
•
queer experience. . The 'church in
winter, was fearfully cold. The
stove wear ancient and worn ,out. It
fell to any'loi to:do the b'eg,ging-for
a 11C15 one. I got lOrfle donations,
and then .tackled 'a retired carrier,

thunder is clue to the intense heat-
ing of gases, :especlally:.the gas 'of
water- vapor along the line of elec-
.-trio discharge, ,a,nd the consequent
conversion of Isuwpended moisture
Into 'steam at enormous. pressure.
In this way the crackle with which
a peal of thunder sometimes begins
might he regarded as the sound of
Steam explosion on a small scale
caused -by discharges before the
main flash. The rumble would be
the overlapping steam explosions,
and the final clap, which, sounds
loudest, would be the steam explo-
sion nearest to the auditor.. In the
case of rumbling thunder the light-
ning is passing from cloud to cloud.
When the flash • passes; from the
clouds to the earth:the clap is loud-
est at the beginning. One investi-
gator
has giyen substance to these
suppositions by 'causing eleetrie
flashes to pass from .point to point

The Business Instinct Uppermost
In a Perilous Situation.
It is not,Larcl to keep frolil being
fleeced if you are only sufficiently in
earnest about it. In an article in
the Wide World Magazine, Mr.
Malcolm. Savage 'Preacher tells the
story of a Gercilan mountain climber
whe did not forget to, be economical,
even in the midst of deadly peril.
A party was crossing a glacier on
the 'slope of Mont Blanc '501101) one
of the travellers called to the others
to atop and listen. • Strange pries
came from elle ice beneath their
feet.
"Some one has fallen into a cre-
vasse 1" cxplaimed one of the party.
"His groans seem to indicate that
lie is already beyond help."
"We must cru, what we can, in any
case," responded one of the guides;.
and ]1e .began 11long and perilous
descent into what ,proved to, be the
bottom of a concealed crevasse. At
the bottom they found the poor

however, quite unhurt, sitting Com-
fortably upon a bench of ice.
"We've come fa save you," said
one of the guides.
"You cavo mo?" answered the;
gentleman, quite tranquilly. "How
do you know I want to be saved?".
'Because you called to, us for
aid," said One of the bewildered
guides.
"Perhaps I did," replied the Ger-
man, "perhaps I didn't. You came,
anyhow. Now; what'll, you take to
rescue file?"
And before he - would ,allow the
guides to -hitch llim to the rope and
drag 'flim to the surface, he com-
pelled them to set, clown in writing
the exact amount they would re-
