strange smile full of sneering bitterness
my experience has been widely different
from yours, Tressilian. Did ever tell YOU

"No. l took it for granted that he is
dead"
"Pcrhals he is. don't know" said
Lowder, with a reckless laugh. ''But if he
is living, he is scoundrel. Don't start.
Tressilian, at my unfilial speech. Wait till

station, pretty, with blue eyes and an apple
blossom face, and tender, appealing ways.
She was the daughter of widow, residing
at Brighton. The widow, my grandmother,
kept lodging house, and my father, gay,
dashing young fellow, came to lodge with
her. As might have been expected, he fell
in love with his landladyis daughter. He
offered the young girl marriage, on condition
that the union should be kept secret until his.
ahairs frightened and he chose to divulse it.
The young girl loved him. Her mother was
ambitious and penurious. The result was
the lover had his way, and married the
danghter Of his landlady quietly, almost
secretly. Then he took his bride to London,

The wind for a moment drowned his

heart. II gave NO throb against his hand
He passed his hand over Tressilian's head
and discovered a gaping wound in the skull.
The hair was clotted with blood.
Putting his hand into his breast pocket,
Lowder drew out his little water proof match
safe. He opened it with trembling fingers
and struck light. The red flicker danced
on young Tressilian's face.
How ghastly and terrible it looked, The
eyes were closed, the smile was gone The
seal of death seemed set on the noble fea-

Lowder examined the wound II had
been made by contact with the sharp rock,

The Seventh annual session Of the Kansas
St.te Teachers' Association opened at Plum

en in goodly numbers from different parts
| of the State were in attendance, though it is
probable that the number will be considera-
| Div augmented by the arrivals to-day.
Among the more prominent educators of this
State already arrived are: State Superin-
tendant McVicar; President Dennison and
| Ppfs. Plat and Neady, Of the State Agri-
cultural College at Manhattan; Banfeld, OF
the Topeka public schools; Hiatt, Of Eudora;
Fales, Of the Ottawa public schools; Bains-

view of the progress Of education X IN
our State hasty glance ut the .0tls fea-
lures of Improvement lately observable IN
our school houses and other educational ap-
planes, and the marked tendency
to obtain better teachers than those
of the by gone regime. The speaker in
dulged in some well timed hits at other
tendencies in the educational line not so de-
sirable, and closed with happy tribute OF
praise with those who are working SO well
and sacri6cingly to make our State better
and nobler through the instrumentality pf
teaching. The address was listened to with
evident satisfaction, and if anything can be
said against it, it is that there was not enough
of it.
