So engrossed had we been by the subject
under discussion, and SO amazed were We at
being thus suddenly recalled 10 the affairs
of everyday life by the appearance of my
cousin and Count Saint Armand, that for
brief instant no one spoke.
1t was Madame de Flavelles who, finally,
smiling gently, broke the silence "L'est
toi, Marguerite! Welcome back cherie! We
have missed thee sadly. Philippe, mon

We were all listening eagerly, while even
scofing Eugene had laid aside his paper and
was observing the disputants narrowly as
question and reparte flew back and forth
with electric sparkle and rapidity. The
werdy war had reached point of deepest
interest, when Mr.. de Trevor, profoundly
mortified by receiving a retort which cat
the ground completely from beneath his
feet, leaning carelessly back in his chair,
and speaking in tone whose lightness con-
trasted strangely enough with the marked
fervor of moment before, said:
"Ah, well! you may. after all, be right.
Yet it strikes me you must sometimes hear
of very curious things in your confessional.
Tell me, do you not?"

Wood G,OOO Years Old.

It is seldom that wood which has grown moro
than 1900 years before the Christian era is used
in the construction of present-day residence,
and yet this really happened recently in Edin-
burg, where mantel-piece was fashioned from
wood said to be 5000 years old. "
An oak tree was found in sandpit at Mus
selburg 13 feet below the surface. Prof, Heikie,
of the University of Edinburg, after peFsonally
examining the strata in which this oak was
found. said the tree which was five feet nine
inches in diameter. must be at least 5000 years
old and described it relic of neolithic man.
1t was in fine state of preservation, due to
the sand, and was easily workable.
