After mass and a sermon, the Father
Abbott" sat down IN his chair by the
alter, arrayed in a gorgeous robe, en-
broidered with saints and angels, with

head and crozier in his hand. The
nuns in their grated gallery sang 8

hair of the novice, two acolytes holding

veil and a wreath of flowers, and after

was placed on tbrone-ike chair before

A Wedding and a Grim Mystery.
Bangor Commercial.

A strange and mysterious affair has
Just happened in Madawaska, Me-,
which creates great deal of excite
ment in that land of usual peace and
quiet. Vetial Du Peur is sixty years
old, and years ont of mind has been
ferryman near Little Falls, on the
Upper st. John. Monday evening was
appointed for the wedding of one of
his children. Sunday night Du Peur's
son crossed the river to the Provincial
lines, where there is rum, to get some
liquor for the wedding festivities.
Late in the evening young Du Peur
arrived at the opposite bank, and
shouted to the old ferryman father to
come and take him across. The fer
ryman has not since been seen, and ha
is supposed to have been drowned, as
cries were heard at the time. The son
got another boat and came home. But
search for the grim ferryman was
fruitless. But at the old roof tree joy
was unconfned. The wedding is one
of those occasions that succumbs to no
mystery. The old folks were divided,
but the young folks were not. The
wedding followed at the appointed
hour, and the young folks were merrily
dancing on Monday forenoon.

Come Oily; come baby and with
out word or look 10 his companions
he passed out into the street.
1t was very sileEt walk.
Toddle's tears were dried as soon as
the stranger, whose loud voice had
awakened his baby terror, was out oil
sight
But poor little Dilly's heart was sore
with disappointment and fear. She
had failed IN the scheme that she had
thought promised so fairly. No hood
nor shoes had she seen after all her
bravery in venturing into that dreadful
store, and who could tell how angry
her father might be?"
She stole shy glances up under her
hat, but she saw only a sober, down
cast face, and he said nothing not even
when they reached home.
He hunted up some fuel and made
better fire, and then sat down before
it with his head betN cen his hands, and
left the children to their own devices.
But two weeks later Oily completed
the story confdentially to Freddie
Burr.
"See here !" she said, pushing the
toes of a pair of stout new shoes
through the fence.
"Where did you get 'em p asked
Freddie.
"And see here - continued billy
boiling up for an instant to show the
hood that covered her yellow hair, and
touching it significantly with her fin
ger.
Where did you get 'em ?" repeated
Freddie.
"My pa worked and bought 'em, and
brought 'em home; and they didn't
get into nobody BARREL" explained
Dilly with great pride and little regard
for grammar Then she passed her
face close against the fence for a pro-
longed interview.
"You see, the billenium has come
to our house"
"The what?" questioned bewildered
Freddie.
"The billenium. It's pretty long
word" explained Oily, complacently,
'.but it means good times. Anyhow,
that's what ma called it, and / guess
she knows. 1t was just the way, Fred

Barney had all our good things down
to his store in barrel, just went
right down there and asked him for

"You didn'tp p exclaimed Mortified
Freddie.

emphatic nod. "Well, he wouldn't
give me one of 'em and he was lust as
cross as anything. So, then, my papa
got up from the stove and walked
home with us. He didn't sceld bit;
but he Just sat down before the fire,
this way, and thinked and tbinked. At
last he put his hand in one pocket, but
there wasn't anything there; then he
put it in the other pocket and found
ten cents, and be went out and bought
some meat for supper. Then when
ma came home ne talked to her, and
they both cried. l don't know what
for, less it was cause we couldn't get
the things out of the old barrel. And
ma Rugged and kissed me most to
death that night, she did. Well, my
pa got some work the next day and
brought home some money; and now
he has found a place to work every
day. He bought all these things, and
he says his little boy and girl shall
have things like other folks. So, now,
you'll know what the billenium means,
Freddie Burr, when anybody asks
you; and you can tell them billy
