Let the Young People Work.

Teach your children that although drudgery is not desirable. work should be sought after. Every moment of the time should be filled and idleness un- known. In this way only is happiness assured. There must be breaks in tbe routine. of course. Sleep is essential and work has no right to encroach upon that. Pleasure is necessary as relaxation and must not be crowded out In other words, work Is used here in the sense of employ ment, and means quite another thing than continual manual labor or unbroker mental strain. When one reads of such instances as the secret suicide of 17-yeai old lad, whose mother was a widow and who preferred to slip out of the burdens and responsibilities of life rather that work for living. it indicates something entirely wrong in the education of sucl youths. Their people work like drudge and encourage their idleness until the, attain maturity with natural indolenc. which makes them prefer the support O charity, or that obtained by theft, rathe than that gained by honest toll.

The principal interest at tached to his career was his connection with the alleged plot to kidnap President Madison and deliver him over 10 Admi- ral Cochburn, the commander of the British feet When, in August, 1914, the British, under General Ross, entered Washington and burned the Capitol and most of the public buildings, 1t was evi- dent that they must have been guided by mon who knew the country we'll Hare was . soldier in the American army, and had been released from Jail to enlist in the service. In tho same com pany was an Irishman named Farren, who was British deserter.

He had always claimed to Hare that he had been offered a thousand pounds for ss- curing the President. and that General Ross was in the scheme. Hearing of Farren's mishap. Hare got appr ehensive that the Irishman had betrayed him. so he stole his captains horse and escaped to Baltimore After reckless career in company with his young brother Louis and well-known criminal named Al exander, he stopped the mail at Havre de Grace and got S1S,7o0 ill specie and notes.

CHAPTER VIII.
ROCKS AUE AID.

But from that moment Cargil's bearing towards Ross altered strangely. He became quite friendly-not patronising-in talking to him, and he praised him in the cabin. So cleverly did he manage this that Ross said to himself, Well, he is not so spiteful as thought he was;" and Annies eyes bright ened whilst she said to herself, Well, there Is some good in him after all. I never thought he could say a kind word about Bob.' For although she spoke of Mr Ross, that person was in her thoughts plain Bob.
 In fact they were all getting on in such a pleasant way that Captain Duucan began to think that Cargill had succeeded in winning the lass; and he said to his daughter when they were alone together
 "So, you're to talk man after a'?''
 "Tm na wantin a man." she said very decisively, knowing to whom her father referred.
 "Ay, ay," was the jocular observation, ''ye say that, but never ken'd a lass that didna want . man unless she had one already"
 Annie turned away her head, making no reply. But she was thinking much What was she to do if her father insisted on this marriage with Cargill? He had said that he would not insist; but she knew how obsti- nate he was once he had got an idea fixed tn his head. Kind he was, and fond of her as father could be of a daughter; but in his anxiety to see her "a grand leddy," as he called it, the conviction might be borne in upon him that he was proving his affec- ton most by forcing her to do what he judged best for her future.
 Had Annie seen the curious grin on her fathers ruddy face as he made his little joke perilaps she would not have been so uneasy. She had not seen it, but remem- bered what she had told him--that she would take no man without his goodwill and would not take one against her own. She would hold to that.
 She went towards Ross, who was at the wheel. He smiled as she approached, but there was no answering smile on her face. She passed him without word and stood with her back towards him gazing at the long track tho littlo steamer had made
 Ross, grasping his wheel firmly, glanced round in surprise; but it was only for an in. etant, for he had to turn his face quickly tc the course before him. He could speak, however, although he could not look, fol the coast of huge rocks is one of the most dangerous known to mariners. The Mcrs usUtd was very slow vessel, although 2 cure 0nA and to save time, the weather be TIT fine, they were hugging the shore, and noIstant watchfulness was requisite on the part of the pilot
