CHAPTER. Y

Days and weeks succeeded the calamity at
Iumbletown, and yet the troubled spirit in the
shaft, rested not. None listened for the dull,
unearthly clinking that did not distinctly hear
it. Bones had become the bugbear of the
town. Refractory children were brought to
silent obedience by the mention of his dreaded
name. All along the bed Of Stony Gulch, as
described by dozen eye-witnesses, did Bones
and Coffin tramp, tramp, tramp, from eve till
morn, now up, then down, following in SOL
emn time and measured pace; carrying picks
upon their unearthly shoulders and draped in
robes of milky whiteness. Down in the deep
windings of that narrow trail did the Phan-
tom Miners wend their weary way, ever mar
ching Now, towards the base of the old vol
cano, and then in the direction of the dreaded
shaft Yet, Tumbletown grew apace
The discovery of quartz lodes, and some
q enormous strikes" recently made upon the
gulch, had so increased the population that
new and pretty cottages were being erected in
every direction. The owner Of rich quartz
vein had nearly finished an edifiee so impo-
sing and elegant, that every patriotic citizen
took especial interest in its successful compile
ton The protector, (Mr. John Revere was
already honored as man of enterprise and
taste. Though it was confidently whispered
cone by no means warranted so expensive
and extravagant an outlay. 1t was well known
that he had already applied to Krantz, and
that bis extensive quartz machinery was some
what embarrassed by the money-lender's se-
curlty. y ct the edfice progressed. Day after
day did teams unload its costly and elegant
In its capacious halls were pla-
ced luxurious furniture of the newest patterns;
EACH window shade was in itself work of
art to gaze and dwell upon, through which
the light, screened from its grosser rays, pass
ed, mild and melIowed, into the apartments
About the walls were placed sweet images of
loyelY saints, ideal representations, perfect as
reality, and the g counterfeit presentmentsp of
men and women we'll known to fame and his
tory, each multiplied a thousand times by the
crystal mirrors and pendant chande-
liers. Such elegance, such luxury, were never

tending, crooked little streets of Tumbletown

DEATH OF BARON WARD j Baron
Ward, the famous Yorkshire groom who
played so prominent part at the Court of
Parma, has just died at Vienna The
Paris correspondent of the Morning Post
writes
"The history of this extraordinary
man is full of remarkable events. He
left yorkshire as boy in the pay of Prince
Lichienstein, of Hungary, and after
four years successful career on the turf
as jockey, he became employed by the
then reiening Duke of Lucca. He was
at Lucca promoted from the stable to be
valet to his Royal Highness. This SER
vice he performed up to 1916. About
that period he was made Master of the
Horse of the Ducal Court. Eventually
he became Minister of the Household
and Minister of Finance, which Office he
held when the Duke abdicated in 1858.
At this period he became an active agent
of Austria during the revolution As
Austria triumphed he returned to Parma
as Prime Minister, and negotiated the
abdication of Charles Ii, and placed the
youthful Charles III on the throne, who,
it Will be remembered, was. assassinated
before his own palace in 1854. / should
have~vahserued that as soon as Charles Ill
came to the throne, The then Baron
Ward was sent to Germany py'.hhis patron
as Minister Plenipotentiary to represent,
up to the time of his royal patrons trag-
lcal end. When the present Duchess
Regent assumed State authority, Ward
retired from public life, and took to agri-
culture in the Austrian dominions. He,
without any educational foundation, con-
trived to write and speak German, French
and italian, and conducted the affairs of
State with considerable cleverness, if not
with remarkable ghtforwardness.-
Perhaps no man of modern aimes passed
a more varied and romantic life than
Ward, the groom, statesman and friend
of sovereigns. From the stable he rose
to the highest Offices, and died in retire
ment, pursuing the rustic occupation of a
farmer, carrying with him to the grave
many curious arcono impcritt."

citizens were waiting the day with bright an-
ticipations of pleasure. The new mansion,
the pride of the town, was on that day to be
dedicated by dinner and dance Its hos
pitable proprietor had given general invita-
ton, ard the whole town was expected to taste
the good things in preparation. Yet even
while these festive preparations were going
on, was lsham krantz seated in his office con-
nivng at the possession of the beautiful resi-
dence.
" Let me see," said the money-lender, look
ing over bundle of papers, Revere's last
note comes due on the twentieth day of De-
cember. Ten thousand dollars, principal and
Interest" Ha, that's good sum. I'll at
tach and stop his mill. He'll get no more
money there. Then I'll attach his fine house,
too, the extravagant fool Who is there can
pay ten thousand dollars, ready money? Ha,
it shall all be mine ~

Book OF JoB.-The book of Job is
generally regarded as the most perfect
specimen of the poetry of the Hebrews.
1t is alike picturesque in the delineation
of individual phenomena, and artistically
skillful in the didactic arrangement of the
whole work. In all the modern languages
in which the book of Job has been trans
lated, its images, drawn from the natural
scenery of the east, leave deep impress
sion on the mind.
"The Lord walketh in the height of
the waters, on the ridges of the waves
towering high beneath the force of the
wind" The morning red has colored
the margins of the earth, and variouslv
formed the covering of the clouds, as the
hand of man holds the yielding clay"
The habits Of animals are described. as
for instance, those of the wild ass. the
horse, the buffalo, the rhinoceros, the
crocodile, the eagle and the ostrich. We
see 'pure ether spread during the scorcb-
ing heat of the south wind, as a melted
mirror over the parched desert"
The poetic literature of the Hebrews is
not deficient in variety of forms; for
while the Hebrew poetry breathes tone
of warllke enthusiasm from Jerusha to
Samuel, the little book of the cleaner of
Ruth presents us with a charming and
exquisite picture of nature. Goethe at
the period of his enthusiasm for the east
spoke of it as "the loyeliest of epic and
idyl poetry which we possess. ."-Hum-
boldfs Cosmos.

sure Fader in heaven, rich,
Thy name be hailed eber Itch,


Thou bring us ty michel blisse;
About one hundred years after, in the reign
of Henry III, it ran thus:
"FaGer thou art in heaven bisse
Thine Heyie name it wurt the blisse
Cumen and mot thy kingdom,
Thy holy will it all be don,
In heaven and in earth also;
In the reign of Henry VI, Q44O,) it began
thus:
Our Fader that art in heaven, holliewid be
thi name, thy kingdom come to thee, be thee
will done in earth as it is in heaven;
In 1887, (reign Of Henry yIII,) it began
thus:
go, our Father who art in heavenl hallow-
ed be thy name. Let thy kingdom come. Thy
will be fulfilled in earth rs it is in heaven.
A very late and very beautiful rendition is
as follows:
Our Heavenly Father, hear our prayer;
Thy name be hallowed every where;
Thy kingdom come Thy perfect will
In EARTH as heaven let all fulfil;
Give this days bread that we may live;
Forgive our sins as we forgive;
Help US temptation to withstand,
From evil shield US by thy hand:
Now and forever unto Thee,
The kingdom, power, and glory be.
Amen.

r. Secret Sorrows

Secret SOrr VS.
There's many heart that hath within
Some secret sorrow, long concealed;
And though to cherish it were sin
For worlds it should not be revealed.
1t eateth like canker worm,
And wasteth all the heart away,
Till Hope is turned into Despair,
And the sad soul would flee away.
Sometimes It's crime, alas ! how true,
Crime surely brings its own reward,
Though not an eye marks what they do,
Their conscience is a sleepless guard
Sometimes It's Love; hopeless love
That burns within the secret soul,
And nought can boast a fiercer fame,
Than DER its tortured victims roll.
But often, It's some senseless thought
Some act of others, mad or blind
Who never see the pain they've wrought,
Or heed the mysteries OF the mind.
A reckless word hath often drove
Deep in the breast poisoned DART
And then not all the acts of love,
Can ever heal the wounded heart
Be careful, o insensate man,
The heart is but a tender flower,
1t can be nurtured, or it can
Be crushed, within single hour.
And We who think each smiling face
An index to peaceful mind,
Know that there's many of our race,
With sorrow in their souls confined
