He was standing dejectedly by the
marble mentor as she entered: and she
new by the traveling -rug thrown over his
arm, and the sschel at his feet, that he
was equipped ror a jom•noy.
The face that the mants•1-mirror reflect-

which were turned etuckly toward her

And he. ground :his handsome white
teeth together in indomitable gage, be-
neath his thick dark curling mustache.
Evelyn St, Claire laid her slim,jeweled
hand hurriedly on his arm, and the face
that looked up into his was as white as
his own. -.

She bent nearer him, :00 near that the
great oinetor of passion -roses that were
twined in her blonde hair almost stifled
him with their sweet, subtle fragrance.
Herglittering steel -blue eyes outrivnled

Gay sprung toward hor with a white
and terrified face.
"I pray you unbar the door," she gasped..

"1 dare not—it would cost me my place

set her free. No one could have looked
into that beautiful upturned pleading face

melted a heart of stone.
"She is my bitterest foe," sobbed Gay.
"She means . to keep mo here to moot, on

Merciful to, me—for my lover's sake."
That was the only point on which
Avioe's heart could be touched. Avlce's
lover had been torn front lion by. the
stern, oreel,hand of fate—she knew but
too well what it was to be parted from
her love.
Tor one moment Aviee hesitated. Would
she dare throw open the door -letting
this beautiful girl 50 free—and meet Mien
St. Claire's horrible wrath? She might
kill her inher ungovernable; fury. She
had looked the. 'door-segurety, andshe

other key to her boudoir.
Inhesitating, Mete was loot,
"I will help you;" she said shortly:
She silenced the joyful sob ou Gay's,
lips, by exclaiming: You must wear my
cloak and veil, foryou will be obliged to
pass the parlor door in goingout; the

trust - t0 your, elvp bravery 'td, aid you in

She threw her own waterproof cloak
about the slender,' girlish form, noticing
that Little Gey trembled like aloaf. She
wrapped her dark brown veil over the
white foes, tucking the pretty soft. curls
carefully out of sight. Then she unlocked
the door, throwing it open wide, bidding
her God•epeed.
The pressure of the little ioe-cold hands
thanked her more eloquently than any
words (meld have done. Then, like a
storm -driven swallow, panting with - fear.
ats every, stop, Gay new down the richly
carpeted stairway to the marble 0tttran(e-
hell below.
How plainly she could hear the vales
of Evelyn St, .Clair as she draw Ilene the
magnificent eerier.
Then the sharp exclamation of o massu•
dine voice broke on herstartled ear—a
voice she recognized at Once as Harold
Tremaiee'e.
One instant she paused, and although
the heiress was spanking in a low, excit-
ed whieper,.evory word she uttered reach-
ed Gay's strained Darn.
'I will help you to your .vengeance,
Harold,"' she heard hers say pantiegly.
"She is in our power—at this very -mo-

Hamdanie, an Arab horse owned

almost out of reach.

TRE BA.NII OF MONTREAL.
Closed BestYear in Its History.
That the Bank of Montreal, is one of
our oldest as well as one of our
most important financial institu-
tions, was emphasized by the fact
that the Annual Report held this
week was the 95th in the Bank's
history. The Bank is yearly occu-
pying a more important place in
the financial, commercial and in-
dustrial expansion of the Dominion.
The Annual Report presented,
which covered the year ending the
31st October, 1912, showed net pro-
fits fol' the year of $2,518,000, which
with a balance brought forward of
$1,855,000 and the premiums on new
stock amounting to $834,000, make
a total of over $5,207,000 available
for distribution. Quarterly divi-
dends and two bonuses absorbed
$1,894,000. The sum of $1,000,000
was transferred to zest account,
81,000,000 to contingent account,
and $511,000 expended on- bank
premises, which left a balance to
be carried forward of 8802,000. The
Bank has now. total assets of nearly
$237,000,000, making it one of the
strongest financial institutions on
the continent. During: the year it
increased its paidup capital to $1.62-
000,000, increased its rest account
to a similar.. sum, made large gains
in deposits and in currentloans,
opened a number of new branches,
and dtherwise kept.pace with the
growing prosperity of the Domin-
ion. The fact that the. Bank made
current loans of, nearly $120,000,000
shows that there is a big demand in
the country for banking accommo-
dation, and that the Bank of Mont-
real is doing its full share in eater-
ing to the business needs of the
communities where its branches
aro located,
Theyear was the first under the
general management of Mr. Ti. V.
Meredith, and the fact that the
profits for the year wore some
$242,000 greater than these of the
previous year, must be regarded as
not only satisfactory to the share-
holders, but as complimentary to
the foresight and business sagacity
of the General -Manager. It is
doubtful' if the Bank of: Montreal
was ever in'• as good' condition to
take care', of the growing needs of
the Dominion than it is at the pre-
sent time. Its increase in paidup
capital and rest accounts, ,itsgain
in deposits, total assets and other
matters, makes it peculiarly fitted
to take a leading place in the fin-
ancial and industrial expansion of
the country.
The addresses of the President
and General Manager were both
comprehensive reviews of the .frn-
ancial, commercial and industrial
conditions prevailing throughout
the Dominion. That of the Presi-
dent, which referred to the Domin-
ion as a whole, was a masterly sum-
mary of the conditions prevailing
at the present time. The address
was optimistic in its tone, Mr. An-
gus declaring that conditions
throughout the Dominion were un-
usually sound and that satisfactory
progress might be expected as long
as present conditions prevailed.
Mr. Angus touched upon the agri-
cultural expansion, the increase in
immigration, the growth of manu-
facturing, • railroad development,
the shipping industry, and, practi-
cally speaking, every phase of our
commercial and industrial expan-
sion. -
Mr.. 11lerodith in his address, 4re-
ferred more particularly to the
growth of the Bank and the bank-
ing business. He touched on the'
forthcoming revision of the 13ankk:
Act, and intimated that there
might be a few minor changes, al-
though in the main the present Act
was giving satisfactory service. He
also .dealt in an able and eompre-
hensive way with the increased coot
of living and the charge that the
banks throughout the Dominion
were not paying sufficient atten-
tion to the farming communities.
Ile denied the ebar'g'o that the
banks 'encouraged farmers to be-
come depositors and not bol'row-
ers,.and stated that in so*'far as his
Bank was concerned many millions .
were -on loan to farmers and small.
tr adel's.
Altogether, the addresses of the
two heads of the ' Bank, like the
Annual Report itself, were emin-
ently satisfnrtory to the share-
holders present, snsi ehentsle-arrve
equally so to busincessmen thrd'1tg'h-
out the country as swell,

leeepiag Lamps Trimmed.
Despite the reign of the electrol-
ier the lamp still has many follow-
ers. Many take to lamps because
they must; some because the light
it sheds is softer, more becoming
and better for: the eyes.
When a lamp fails to give a good
light do not waste time reviling the.
manufacturing, but look to your
own 'duties.
Perhaps the wick is crooked, or
too shortor not. in 'squarely. Rub,
off the top of the wick each day with
soft paper, and if it fails to draw,
put it up on the catches or get a
new one. Unless sure you can put
in the wick correctly send the lamp
to a store and have 1t done properly.
Perhaps a new wick is less neces-
sary than removing the oil with
which it is clogged. Boil in vinegar
and water and dry thoroughly.
Fill your lamps daily. Never light
a lamp that is nearly empty, as it
increases danger of explosion. Fill
a lamp by daylight; if it must be
done after dark keep away from a
flame and wipe all oil from the out-
side. :
• Evon with the best oil a poor light
results if the burner is not clean..
They should be washed once a month
in a quart, of cold water, to which
has been added a tablespoonful of
washing soda and a little soap. Boil
several hours, pour off the black-
ened water, cover with fresh boil-
ing water, soap and soda, boil five
minutes, rinse in Olean, hot water
and rub ary with a clean soft cloth
that is not linty.
Lamp chimneys may be rubbed
off with soft paper daily, and when
smoked shouldbe washed in hot
ammonia water, rinsed in cold
water and polished with a tea towel
and soft paper.

her, hands hot and uncomfortable
and sweeping under such condi-
tions was most trying.
Now to make the old gloves usable•
for housework it is only necessary
to split the 'backs along the seams
and then cut a slit or two around
the thumbs. ' The protection to the
hands is as good as with the ori-
ginal glovesand the discomfort is
reduced to nothing. This cannot be
done, of course; with rubber gloves,
intended to protect the hands when
forced to dip them in hot water or
soda, but it is a useful hint for the
housewife who does her own sweep-
ing:and mopping and wishes to pre-
serve the beauty of her hands.
Some one advised to try clothes
pegs to attach cheesecloth :to the
jar when straining fruit for pre -
Beeves, or for similar work where a
cheesecloth strainer is used. The
idea is not bad, but there is an-
other ono with far better results.
Have you -ever seen .the little clips
that photographers, amateur and
professional, use to dry prints? The
little clips are strung in a line, and
the prints are clipped .at the cor-
ners and left until ready to mount.
These clips are little wooden af-
fairs, less than half the size of a
clothes peg and much more suitable
for clipping the cloth to the edge
of the part or bowl than a clothes
peg • would be. They are for sale in
a photographic stock -house or in
the photographic department of a
store. They are cheap and will be
found useful in the house in a num-
ber of ways. A wire arrangement
in the centre permits a string to be
run through them without 'interfer-
ing with the 'slipping part, and they
can be strung across the room and
used for drying small articles.
The possibilities of the - brush in
the kitchen have by means boon ex-
hausted. The unnecessary waste of
time and energy in cleaning jars of
any kind is evident when you see a
woman struggling to get at1he cre-
vices of a narrow necked preserve
jar with a cleaning cloth. It is as
bad as the struggle to clean the in-
side of the lamp chimney. "Reams of
paper have been used to present to
suffering womankind various new
methods of getting at the interioa.
of a y lampchimney when it is neces-
sary to wipe. it out, but there is no-
thing. about cleaning the interior of
preserve jars. Get ono of those five
or ten cent long -handled brushes

BLACKLE'TTERS Ai''D WIII` Il.
Former Can Be Read et a Greater
Distance Than the Latter.
There is a tendency on the part
of railroads' to adopt signs with
white letters on a black back-
ground; not realizing that the black
letter on a white bacicground is
easier to read and can beseen at
a greater distance. This follows in
an interesting way from the struc-
ture of the retina of the eye.
The impression of a letter at •the
limit of; vision is received on the
ends of a small bundle of nerves
which convey to the, brain a sort of
mosaic impression. A nerve can
only transmit to the brain informa
tion as to whether or not a ray of
light is falling upon it, and when a
nerve is partly in the light and
partly in darkness •the sensation is
the same as though all of it was in
the light.
It follows, therefore,; according
to the Scientific American, that all
nerves on the dividing line between
any black and white area transmit
the sensation of light so that all
white lines and white areas appear
wider and all black lines and black
areas appear narrower than they
really are.
Black letters grow thinner at the
limit of vision and are still.recog-
nizable,, while at the same distance
white lettere grow thicker and can
not be distinguished. There are
circumstances when it is necessary
to use white letters, but in such.
eases legibility will be improved if
they are made with a thin stroke
and strongly lighted: Black letters'
are more distinct if made with a
heavy stroke.°

IIISTORIC WAIR, TERRITORY.
Greeks Rave Been Fighting as Did
Forebears Near Saloniea.
Few military traces have ever
marched through a region so richin
history and mythology as that tra-
versed by the Greeks in their north-
ern march to Salonica. The war'
correspondent who happened to be
a classical scholar must have often
thrilled at the association of moun-
tain and" •river plain along the route
of the army.
At the lovely town of Tempe he
will have remembered that it was
there the Greek states originally in-
tended to meet the swarms of Per -
Man invaders under Xerxes, though
they ultimately chose the pass of
Thermopylae, further south. Not
far away is old Pllthia the home of
Achilles and his Myrmidons. On the
frontiers of modern .Greece tho
army entered anoient Pieria, the
legendary haunt of the Muses. And
all the time they were overshadow-
ed by Mount Olympias, which is visi-
ble oven from Salonica.
As, they penetrated into southern
Macedonia they reached the scenes
of St. Paul's second missionary
journey, described in the seven-
teenth chapter of the Aets. The
army must have passed right
through old Berea (the modern
Veria), .where tho Apostle of the
Gentiles took refuge from the per-
secuting Jews of'Thessalonica, who,
however, pursued him thither and
obliged him to hasten his journey to

MOST BEAUTIFUL HANDS.
Chinese Women I+ar'AJaead of Other
Nations, Says Writer. •
A Kieff (Russia) paper publishes
a study of women's hands by Mme,
Sjebinoff which has been repro-
duced in a Paris magazine. .Aceoed-
ing to this anthority:. Chinese women
possess the most beautiful hands in
the world. Their fingers are nar-
row, free from knots, as soft as vel-
vet, yet not 'flabby,' but they keep
the nails ofah deft hand a little
long,
Israelites have also rune hands,
although the bones are too tender,
with the result that the last joint
has a tendency to turn outward.
Women of the harem have thiel:,.
soft fingers' like Tittle sausages and
their nails receive a . ridiculous
amount of work on them.
American women, by taking an
immensity;' of pains, have fine hands
in appearance, but they are hard
on contact. The back of their hands
in slightly reddened and the inner
side' hardened by sports; some of
thein have callosities due to work=
ing with their hands.
German women have villainous
hand, and English women are not
much better. Russian and French
women have small 'hands, even too
'small, and why do they loud them
with rings? Rings shouldonly be
used to hide defects. -
Italian' women also have small
hands, but do not keep them spot-
lessly clean. Too' often they apply
thein to their noses, .instead of
using a handkerchief. The hands of
a Spaniels woman havea classic
Beauty and their movements aro in-
comparable. Such hands cannot he
deseribed, they can only be ad- ':
mired. When they manipulate a'
fan, or roll a cigarette, when they
raise a skirt or arrangea mantilla t,•
,,.
itis always done with infinite grace. e
A Spanish woman alone know how.'
to use hor hands as - they trul.
should be used.
