Aunt Mary looked at the trembling
girl for moment, and said with calm
severity cir my younger days, Miss
Damer, an Irish girl had a reputation
for modesty for which her country
men were very proud. And you, sir,
an Irish gentleman, have dared to
compromise the honor OF this young
lady by your criminal recklessness. /"
"I'ye only followed the example OF
an ancestor of ours, who is your own
particular hero, Aunt Mary. That
Capt. Maurice Dillon, who fought with
Lord Clare at FontenoY, ran away
with as pure and true girl as ever
bore the name of wife.
I'm not going to split logical straw

Aunt Mary saw that yearning glance
and the look of love that answered it.

the room she said in gentle tones:
'Miss Damer, that careless boy always

With that she was gone, and none

the brothers well are firmly convinced
that they saw and heard just what

China,s Great Wall.

not that the Pekin wall is higher and
wider, nor that the way is cold and
rough and often perilous-you must

Six mortal hours to make the last
fifteen miles. Squeezing through the
last deep gorge and deep rift in solid
rock, cut out by ages of rolling wheels
and tramping feet, we reach the great
frowning, double FASHIONED gate oi

archway tumbled in. This was the
object of our mission-the great wall
of China built 213 years before our
era; built of great slabs of well-hewn
stone, laid in regular courses some
twenty feet high, and then topped out
with large, hard-burned brick, filled in
with earth and closely paved on the
top with more dark, tawny brick 1.-The

Mrs. Frances 81. Burnett, the novelist,
has written serial story for St. Nicho-
las, called Little Lord Fauntleroy," the
hero of which is boy character who is
as new as he is delightful. Born in
America, the child of a Younger son of
an English earl, his father dies when he
is little fellow, and by the death of his
uncles, he becomes heir to the earldom.
His grandfather, cross old nobleman
who has never forgiven his youngest son
for marrying against his wishes, sends
for the boy and his mother. In the
March st. Nicholas is recounted the first
interview between little Lord Fauntleroy
and his grandfather, the earl, expecting
conventional bread-and butter youth,
finds himself confronted with "a grace
full childish figure in black velvet suit,
with lace collar, and with lovelocks
waving about the handsome, manly little
face, whose eyes met his with look of
good fellowship" And then they talk

something and stopped very abruptly.

grandfather, "Why don't you go on :"

earl that Lord Fauntleroy was embar.

The END.

Starvation wages are often talked and
written of, but few have real conception
ofwhat the words raean, practically.
Here is an illustration that will, perhaps,
be understood. 1t coraes from the coke
region in Western Pennsylvania, where
the miners have strucl, for higher wages:
when the works were mining four
days in week & man from the Buckeye
mine at Bridgeport, said tht,t in the

pick sharpening, and bis oil cost him 80
cents, making in all $685. thus leaving
