them was clear, and had nothing for it but to

Bis complexion was yellow as long as he was
thin, but later 1t became a dead white without

this is fine and reminds one OF the antique me-

attractive when he laughs. His teeth are regu-

feet and hands, which must be noticed because
he takes good care OF them. In standing and
walking he bends little forward. His eyes
usually dull, give to his face when in repose
melancholy expression, but when he is angry
his glance becomes suddenly sharp and threat

Usually he wore the uniform Of his guards.
Cleanliness was with him more a matter OF sys-

NV. W. Story in the Atlantic fer January.]
Pe6pusf we cree drove together
VIM 'he o rigging nlng chime
So many year ago,
Sc, now ST hear them jingle,
The winter cen es back sgaIn,
Though the GUNNER stir IN the heayy treee,
And the wild rose scents tie lane.
We gather our furs around Gs,
Our faces tie keen air stings, -
And noiteess we fly DER the snow hushed world
Almost as if We had wings.
Enough is the Joy of mere living,
Enough is the bioods quick thrill:
We are simply harpy-I care not why
We are happy beyond our WILL
The trees are with icicles iewelled,
The houses with marble Wilderness are rooted,
In their windows the home-llghts glow.
Through the tense, clear sky above
The keen stars fash and gieam,
And wrapped in their silent shroud OF Snow
The bread fields lie and dream.
And jingling with low. sweet clashing
Ring the tels as our coed horse goes,
And tossing his head, from his nostrils red
His frosty breath he blows.
And close you nestle against me.
While around your waist my arm
have slipred-'tis SO bitter, bitter cold
1t is only to keep us warm.
We talk, and then are silent.
And suddenly-you know why
stooped-could help it, You lifted your face
We kssed-there was nobody nigh.
And no one was ever the wiser,
And no one was ever the worse.
The skies did not fail-as perhaps they ought
And we heard no paternal curse.
I never told ibid yon, dear?-
But my memory Keeps in its inmost recess,
Like perfume, that innocent kiss
dare say you have forgotten,
Or You may not choose to remember it.,
Time may have changed you so.

shaken as BY an earthquake. Windows were blown in

car laden with dynamite had exploded in the Grand
Trunk freight yard.
The reck made by the explosion beggars descrip-
ton. Underneath the dynamite car hole several
feet deep had been scooped out by the explosion.
The end of the brick freight shed and portion of
the roof were blown down. Several frame buildings
were levelled to the ground and utterly wrecked
The business part of the town was nearly mile
from the scene Of the explosion but shared in the
disaster. Valuable plate glass was broken and
glass of all kind suffered. All the damage to proper
ty is estimated at many thousand dollars. Two
railroad employees were blown into fragments and
others injured The whole extent of the disaster
cannot be known.
Careful examination shows the damage by the ex-
plosion to be much greater than expected. The
houses around the freight shed nearly all wood

Thirty cars were blown to splinters aud as many
more damaged. The building at the entrance in
which were three men was blown into thousand
pieces and one man injured. The others miracu
ly escaped without scratch. Fragments Of iron
weighing over pound were driven through the
