That evening Arthur sat beside Mar,
naret in the crowded opera-house, and
in the pauses OF the music asked her
to make him happy with the promise
OF her hand, and Margaret promlseo'
regardless OF her revenge, reckoning
little whether pique or love had made
him so soon forget her sister, Tor this
was the anniversary OF Bessie's we'd
ding-day.
He assisted her from the carriage
on their return, and with his last
touch on her hand, his last word IN
her ear, Margaret sped up the stairs
TO her own apartment. At Bessie >
door she paused and looked within.
The shutter was open WIDE, the long
curtain loosened from its fastenlngs
blew halfacross theroom, the gasllght
tlickered and tlared, and on the floor
lay heap al snowy satin and lace,
her sisters discarded wedding'robe.
Margaret's pulses stood still. There
was but step from her TO the bed
that was hidden by its massive head
board, but that seemed a yawnlns
gulf. 1t was taken, and there lay
pretty Bessie, the color fled toreve;
from her lips and cheeks, her little Tin

the paper Margaret knew SO we'll.
Her sister had loved and trusted
her with a boundless love and faith,
and the knowledge OF Margaret
treachery had pierced that tender
heart as absolutely as though the
cruel hand had held murderous

that she was dying, too, hut the hor'

When Arthur M'Ariley came TO

II loved you better than my life ="
There was no word OF explanation
or leavetaking between Margaret and
her Oldtime lover, but the two looked
into each others eyes aud knew that
they must part.
They never met again. Margaret Is

fallacy that the mind and body OF the

sentative phenomenon. This prize of
$500 is based on course in mathe-

prize, the first was the winner OF the

EVERY man is fitted to fill some
position of importance. Every mans
mind is more or less expansive, more
or less reaching, more or less compre-
hensive. The man who loves his pro-
fession always possesses an inquiring
mind; he is judiciously inquisitive; he
guides his inquisitiveness in the line
OF his profession; he is a learner and
teacher. II he becomes mark among
men, the mark is always in proportion
TO his success. If he confines his in
vestigations to scientific line, he dis
covers and applies the truths which
govern his operations. This makes
him a successful man; If farmer, he
is ready for all emergencies, he sue

orally superior and he fourishes like

IN Great Britain, as in most of the
old-world dynasties, the throne is held
by the reigning.monarch through the
suferance of the people. Constitu-
tional government dispenses with its
monarchial appendages slowly but
none the less surely. The benefcent
Victorian era has doubtless retarded
the disposition of the English royal
house, but there are scores of well-in-
formed political prophets who do not
look for the continuance of the English
monarchy beyond one or possibly two
successors to Queen Victoria.

Too large part of the great adj
vance in popular intelligence has been
devoted to studying the wickedness
and evil rather than the good in the
world. Most newspapers devote too
large part of their space to criminal
records, giving to the superficial OBJ
server the idea that wrong doing is
enormously increasing, when the fact
is that it is only more fully reported
than formerly. A pleasant change
would be to have the better class of
newspapers devote more space to the
record of what is being done to help
human kind. This is no less news
than the record of evil, and is vastly
more edifying.

is that Great Britain will suffer ex
