pulses which have so frequently prevented
me from enjoying things determined to
remain true to my convictions and stand by
the Unitarians for better or. for worse.
Other boys might violate the dictates Of
their consciences tor the sake of few bags
of mere transitory candy, but not I; This
resolution WIS highly applahded by nv
Sunday school teacher, and 1 figured that
the state OF her feelings ought to be worth
at least new rair of skates to me. 1t was
given out openly that every scholar should
have something on the tree, and that the
traditional bag of candy, consisting largely
OF musty popcorn, snould not count as a
present
The tree festivities began in the morning
of the day before Christmas, and Tor 90
hours there were at least three in stimuli

town. Children passed through the streets
laden with Methodist presents on their way
to get some ont of the Kings Daughters.
Orthodox children who thought that it was
wicked to go in the Unitarian Church went

enjoyment Of the exercises.
How the Genius Fared.
Our friend Sloppy, after visiting all the
aforementioned hitherto. discovered that the
Cooking Club was entertaining the very
smallest children in the attic of The village
school building. The stairs groaned under
his enormous weight, augmented by vast
quantities of candy of three different
creeds-and he was so exhausted with the
ascent that they hadn't the heart to tura
him away, and they used him as the recep-
tacle for all the delicaces contributed BY
unskillful members, and judged by the
more judiciOus to be fatal to the little ones
for whom the entertainment was originally
intended.
Meanwhile I had centered my virtuous
mind upon one tree 1 had run errands,
and, in short, had done q weeks work to
make the Unitarian tree q success. ex-
pected that about four of the largest boughs
OF the tree would be required to hold the
rewards of my virtue. 1 did not know the
actual state of the case: that it had been de-

The French in Dahomey Alleged to Have
Used New Method.
London Truth.J
A discussion seems to be going on as 10
whether an infantry square can be broken
by charge of men on foot or on horseback
To the non-military turn OF mind this would
seem impossible, provided that the square
is properly formed. But 1 read the other
day that theFrench in Dahomey cast melinite
bombs into an intrenchment of the enemy.
with the result that the assailants them
selves had to fall back in orser not to be
destroyed by the suffocating fumes.
Is this fact or an effort Of the journal
istic Imagination? If the former, what is to
prevent melinite being fired into any dense
mass of men OH battlefield, whether in
square or in anv other formation, and emit
ting such tunes that the square would cease
to exist? Admitting the Truth of the state
ment 1t seems to me likely to render war so
exceedingly dangerous pastime that few
sane human beings will be willing to engage
IN it

CHAPTER XVIII,

When first we met we did not guess
TnaG love would prove so hard master.
There is dead silence! A silence well
named, for it carries death with it. Death
to so many hopes And yet, not an un-
kindly death, for from it springs goodly
resurrection. Marriage, although it blocks
for ever the way to her, has destroyed that
worst of all terms, dishonor Though all
his life be laid in ashes at her feet, still
this sweet Pnenix, 'HoNor,' rising from
them, restores faint touch of heat to his
dead heart.
In the first moment Drayton hardly
knows whether it be joy or grief he feels.
Both, perhaps-but surely joy-joy gre at
and Imperishable rises above all the grief
and despair -..

MY fricndl' she puts in, quickly. "Ah,
IT you recollect that, you will do this thing
for me-"
He makes her no reply. To tell her that
he had loved her-that he had, in his own
mind, called himself her lover-to what end
would it be? Let her believe he meant
only friendship.
He is SO lost in his sad, miserable, angry
