""No," says Hal, stoutly.
"But, yes," she insists, "I wish you

It reminds me of you as you came down
the valley, staring at the stream, and
little thinking that I wds so near your
feet. It was the scent of the tobacco
that made me look up; yes, you shall
smoke."
Hal gets his pipe and lights it, and
it is well that he does so, for he needs
the great composer to keep him calm
under her next words.
"Hal," she murmurs, and draws a
little closer to him, "when—when shall
we leave this place?"
Hal's face pales.
"When? To -morrow,
says.
"To -morrow!" she says, softly. "And
where shall we go? Tell me—I do not
know anything; I have not asked—but
tell me when—when we shall be mar-
ried?"
Simply, innocently, with childish faith,
she puts her question, neither blushing
nor hiding her face, but looking up
at him with devout faith and trust
shining in her beautiful eyes.
Hal trembles, and the hand that holds
the pipe quivers. He looks at the stars,
growing brighter in the incrtasing dark-
ness, and longs—longs with a burning
desire for the sound of a horse's hoofs.

She looks up at him wonderingly.
"To England?"
"Yes; I didn't say that it must be
so, dearest, but I say, suppose—you
would come?"
Her head drops.
"Yes," she murmurs; "I should come."
He presses her close to him. He can-
not keep the truth from her any
longer; such love as this cannot endure
deception.
"Look at me, Verona," he says gently,
kissing her hair as he speaks. "I have

Costly Colonial Enterprise.
No small part of the white man's burden
can be charged to his persistent attempts to
deprive the African black man of his native
land and liberty. The latest statistics of the
uprising in German southwest Africa show
that it has cost the German empire 1,9x7
lives, including 10 officers, and $1,000,000 in
cash, while the money cost for the coming
year of the few thousand troops in the re-
volted territory will be at the rate of $6,000
per man. And this tells only part of the
story. The struggle is still going on; while,
worse than all, the entire German scheme of
African colonization is so hopelessly dis-
credited that the dream of an African em-
pire will be realizedonly by a futures en-

Natural Conclusion.
A lady had arranged an "authors'

husband to remain at home and help
her receive the 50 guests who were asked
to partake of this intellectual feast. The
first author was dull enough, but the
second was still duller. The rooms were
intolerably warm, and, on pretence of
letting in some cool air, the unfortu-
nate host escaped to the hall, where he
found the footman comfortably asleep
on the carved oak settee. "Wake up,"
he said sternly, in the ,uan's ear; "wake
up, I say! You must have been lis-
tening at the keyhole!"—London News.

That hundredsUnbalaof "erratic," "sensi-

Flow Four -Leaved Clovers Are Made.
Four leaved clovers may be grown in
abundance on lawns or in flower beds.
The raising of four leaved clovers has
been made possible by Professor De
Vries, of Amsterdam, who has found a
plant bearing six or seven four leaved,
clovers, capable of being transplanted.
He first sowed them, and since then he
has had a new generation each year.
Each time he chose his seeds from. a
fourth of the best plants; that is, from
those which had the most four and five
leaved clovers. It was the third genera-
tion which began to be rich in the desired
form of letters, but only with four and
five leaflets, and these only in the adult
plant. During August and September of
the same year he remarked a very few
with seven leaflets. At this point he re-
duced his selection to a severe standard.
He chose for his progenitors only those
plants having two-thirds of all their
leaves with four or more leaflets. But he
had discovered a curious fact that much
simplified his selection from then on. In
sowing clover one may observe that the
first leaf of each young and subsequent
leaflets have regularly three leaflets.
This knowledge made it possible for him
to make his selection much more quickly.
He had only to choose the young clov-
ers with p
i h leaves and transplant

A m
at Aden reports that the demand for
motor cars is steadily growing in the
coast districts, of the Red Sea. At the
present time he says, coast railways are
in construction to connect Aden with
various parts of Arabia and the officials
have no choice but to survey the track
by motor cars or motor -cycler. Yet the
supply is still far below the demand.

BETTER THAN SPANKING.
Spanking does not cure children of
bed-wetting. There is a constitutional
cause for this trouble. Mrs. M. SUM-
SlERS, Box 8, Windsor, Ont., will send
free to any -mother her successful home
treatment, with full instructions. Send
no money, but write her to -day if your
children trouble you in this way. Don't
blame the child; the chances are it can's
help it. This treatment also -,cures adults
and aged people troubled with urine dif-
ficulties by day or night.
Transformation.
"May I ask of what becomes of all

What Makes Shoes Shine. '
The philosophy of polish on any sub-
stance, says The Technical World Mag-
azine, is simply the production by fric-
ftion of such smoothness of the surface
layer of its particles that they readily
reflect the rays of light falling upon
them. Different articles are used to aid
in procuring this smoothness or differ-
ent substances. With leather the best
substance seems to be a paste contain-
ing bone-black—that is, the powder ob-
tained from charred bones or ivory —to
which is added a small quantity of acid
to dissolve it, oil to preserve the soft
texture of the leather, and treacle and
guts to render the mass adhesive.

Nervousness of the Age.
Modern nervousness is, according to a
German medical writer (J. Afaronowsl:l)
incurable unless we mend our ways and
give up using our brains excessively even
during our hours of entertainment and
our vacations.
Finger Nails and Tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis, particularly of the glands
the bones and joints, is common among
children, and it is generally surmised to
be of local origin. The bacilli have been
repeatedly found in the dust of rooms
and corridors, especially in houses occu-
pied by tuberculor patients, and evidence
has been given to show that/ the same
micro-organisms can often be demon -
strated 'n the dirtfound i £ u d beneath the
‘finger nails of ehildr„ary whence they be-
come a source of great danger. The ob-
servations were made upon children from
six months to two years of age, for a
period of two and a half months, dur-
ing which they were kept indoors a great
deal. The dirt from the finger nails was
rubbed upon a sterile glass slide with a
drop of sterile bouillon, and the result- d
ing emulsion was spread on the slide and
used for injection under the skin of
guinea pigs. Great importance was at-
tached to the inoculation, but it was
found that a number of the animals soon
died as a result of acute infection. Ac-
cordingly, reliance had to he placed prim

The Modern Actor.
Ellen Terry, the well-known English
actress, ltas a grievance. She writes in
• tho Windsor Magazine as follows: "We
hear too much of the charm and amia-
bility
of this actor and that, of
his s sktll
at golf or his proficiency as a paiuter or
musician. We hear of his popularity so-
cially. The actress' beauty is much
more discussed than her talent. Nowa-
days capability for their work is not
often the qualification for which actors
are recommended."
UNDER THE NERVE LASH.— The
torture and torment of the victim of nervous
prostration and nervous debility no one can
rightly estimate who has not been under

foes. M. Williams, of Fordwlch, Ont., was
for four years a nervous wreck. Six bottles
of South American Nervine worked a mit.
acle, and his doctor dconfirmed it. .

King Paid His Carfare.
We hear from Bucharest that a few
days ago King Carol, Who had been talc-
ing a walk, stepped into a street motor,
to the amazement of the conductor and a
few of the passengers, who recognized
him. The conductor was at a loss to
know whether to offer his Majesty a
ticket or not, hut the King says Modern
Society, soon put him et naso by :taking
for one, accompanying the payment with
a handsome tip. During the drive he est,
tered into conversation with a few of his
subjects, who were delighted with the
rare opportunity afforded them.
