"Oh," moaned Florence, in a. voice
of agony, while she reeled dizzily un-
der this stupendous blow, which
seemed to dash every prop from be-
neath her. .
Could it ibs possible, she wondered,
thra,t she had been mistaken after all

stood beside her that night, Instead
or a etrattger, and that she Was 1 gal.

How, otherwise, could he beve

which she hod believed no one en

turned by the illness vteich, even
then, must ha.Ve been coming upon
her, ea he had declared se long ago,
atel thee her fever fa,ncy had mis-
taken him for a stranger?
Was she indeed doomed to serve
out a• "bitter bondage" as the wife
of a man whom elle felt she now
loathed from her heart of lies.rte ?
Fer the few, Bawl:id% while these
thoughts seethed madly through her
brain, elte was ap•palled-almost in
(teepee. Then the memory of those
dark becew,n eyes into which she
had looked on that dreadful night
returned to her, and calmed her with
a strange feeling of security.

• Ilea one of tee world's largest, reserves
oi timbee spite of the tariff im-
posed much of this timber is to -day corn-
ing to the United. States. The forests
ot the Dominion. are Le:ginning to yield
abundantly.. More than /00,000,000
feet of pine sawlogs and square timber,
during a recent season, were cut upon
territory held under timber license from
the Crown.
Much of Canada's timber land has not
yet even been explored. In the newly
developed district of Algoma, which axe
close to the great lakes, it is estimated
that there are more than 100,000,900
cords of spruce and pulp wood, while in
the districts ef Thunder Bay and Rainy
River there ate nearly 200,000,000 cords
more, A belt at least 3,000 miles long
is b'elieve4 to exist in Canada between
Alaska and the Atlantic. •
It has beeri ,estimated that, at the
present rate of cutting, the greatest tim-
ber resources of the United States -
those of the Pacifie coast -Will be ex-
hausted in less term half a century. The
annual cut of shingles and lumber M
these regions is 4,600,000,000 feet. The
standing timber in Washington, Oregon
and Northern California at present- is
twice that of the original timber lands
of the northern woods. Washington pro-
duces about as many feet of shingles
and other lumber as Oregon and Cali-
fornia together. This state is noted for.
its shingles, these being more than 1,000 ,

&ma are located the largest sawmills in
the United States.

Devotion of 'Slaves to Their Masters.
The devotion of slaves to their masters in
time of war is no'new thing under tho sun.
The fact that their masters are in arms has
always, no doubt, borne Its part in the phe-
nomenon. But it does not wholly account
tor the absolute devotion of tho moos. It
is to the eternal credit at once of tile whites
and of the negroes that, during these four
year( of war, when the white men of the
south were absent la the field, they (mold
entrust their bonies,..their wives, their chil-
dren, all they nossessed, to the guardianship
and cat% of their slaves, with absolute con-
fidence in their fidelity. And this trust was
never violated. They were their faithful
guardians, their sympathizing friends, and
their shrewd advisers, guarunig their :pro-
perty, enduring neeessary denial with cheer-
fulness, and identifying therneelves -with their
masters' fortunes with the devotion, not of
eaves, but of clansmen.
The devotion of the body -servants to their
mestere in the field ls too well known almost
to need mention, and what is said of them
In this paper is owing rather to the feeling
that the statement of the fact Is a debt due
to the class from which these came than to
thinking it necessary to enlighten the reader.
When the southern men went into tht3 field
there wa0 aWays n contest among the ne-
grecs as to who ebould accompany them.
Usually, the choice of the young men would
he for Sonle of the younger men among the
servants, while the choice of the family
vfotild he for some 01 tile older and more
staid members of the houschold, who would
be prudent, and thus likely to take better
care of, their masters. And thus there was
Muck heartbUrning among the younger he -
growl, Whe were almost as eager for adven-
ture as their masters. -Prom The cid-time
