list his instinct for the sensational
prompted him to send for paper.

eyes rested upon name that sent a
sudden agonizing thrill to his very
heart centre.
AT an early hour this morning"
read the account, up. C, Robson found
the dead body OF n man lying under the
trees in Beech Walk, Hampstead. Great
retiCence is maintained by the local
police regarding the affair, but our in
quirics have ELECTED the fact the the
deceased was shot through the head, the
course OF the bullet being from back to
front. The weapon has not been dis
covered. No one in the neighborhood
seems to have been disturbed during
the night, but this may be accounted
for by Beech Walk being a somewhat
lonely thoroughfare. The nearest
house to the scene OF the murder is
nifty yards distant. From papers found
on the body il is believed that the muir
dered man is a Russian named Ivan
Bronski
"A later report states that BroHsh
has been identified by woman as a
man who lodged in her house during
the last few months under the name Of
Peter Dumaroff. our representative is
prosecuting further inquiries, the re-
suit OF which will be published in our
special edition"

Big Salaries in ENGLAND.



II is interesting to note that the salary
Of the late Lord Chief Justice Coleridge
was s40,O year, while that of the
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States is s1O,5OO. The difference
between the salaries of these two officials
is no greater, however, than that between
other high officials in England and this
country. The lord chancellor receives
$40, 900 a year while in office, and pen
sion for life of s25. 900. The lord of APP
peals gets $50. 600, and all the other
judges s25, 600 The income of the Brit
ish Attorney General is at least $50, 600
a year, against salary of IS, 900 for the
Attorney General Of the United States
The latter figure is the salary of our Sec
retary of State, while all the English Sec
retaries of State get s25, 600 a year, and
after serving for certain time they are
entitled to $40, 900 year for life. Alto
gether, it will be seen that the high officers
in England are very handsomely paid, when
compared with those Of this country. and
the bench is about the best paid fall

THE CARDINAL FLOWER.

BY MARGARET E. sASGSTER.
The sweet succession of the days from early spring
till now
Has left no hour without flower gem its radiant
brow
First came the shining snowdrops, then the pale
arbutus stirred,
And all the woods waking to the call of flower
and bird
Rare bluebells swung, hepatieas TO vivid life
awoke,
broke:
Again the lilacs, honey-sweet then acres glad with
clover
And leagues of starry daisies that the rippling
winds went over.
Then gardens full of roses and spicy store of pnks
And dear old FASHIONED posies, the summers
golden links,
And trail of vines hedge and wall, and morning
glories' light,
And golden-rod in knightly grace on many vale
and height
Today, TO greet my lady who cometh from her
bower,
bring both hands brimful of fire, september's
matchess dover,
TO light with fervid glow and flame some shadowy,
dusky space,
bring this thing of gorgeous name, this pride of
kingly
What matters it that far and near in some dis
tant morn,
The tocsn of the tempests win be forth with fury
borne,
That snow and sleet will raven where the flowers
have bloomed at ease,
And icy armor cling upon the gaunt and eahess
trees?
The world has had the summer; the world will have
the spring.
Earth need not fear the winry storm nor dread the
north winds wing.
The sweet succession of the days will bring again
opass
The splendor of the daisies and the verdue of the
grass.
And here, with dewdrops cleaning. bring this
radiant flower
To burn in matchless beauty within my lady's
bower
While on the breezy pasture lands the goldcn-rod is
gay,
And down beside the darkening swamp the pink
marshmallows sway.

he scampered away meet them.
Marina and Richard exchanged glances
for an instant Then. as by a common
impulse, their eyes fell But fear they
had sealed their fates by looking into each
other eyes just then.
Richard took his knife. and without
further ado began to scratch out those
words from the stern of the little vessel.

is just as well to be on the safe side

important parsonage present More by
luck than judgment he said nothing more
to tempt his sister to box his ears. Why
should he have done so, however He
had had his own way with Richard and
Marina.
These victims of circumstances felt rather
happy as they walked home together.
Richard had received letter by the mid

"The American Maelstrom.
FrOm the blue and emy Maga.Ine.

From the Blue and Gray Magazine.
The most dangerous part of the coast of
the United States extends from the south
ernmost cape of the peninsula of Florida to
the island of Dry Tortugas, lying in the
Gulf of Mexico, 81 miles from Key West
For distance of 200 miles the coast line
is here made up of semi-circular chain of
islands, along whose seaweed edge lie the
sunken reefs of Florida These reefs are
of coral formation, and are washed by the
warm water of the Gulf Stream as it flows
through the straits on its way northward.
This river in the ocean, flowing always
in one direction, with an average velocity
of two miles an hour, produces numerous
strong counter-currents and in-draughts
over the reefs and along shore. Threaten
ing tide-rips, eddies and whirlpools are con-
tinually set going, which tend to battle the
ever cautious mariner and carry his ship to
certain destruction.
Cape Hatteras, with its tickle currents
and shifting bars, so dreadful to the mari
ner, has been the scene of many shipwrecks,
but the number is small when compared TO
those which have met their fate in the Gulf
Stream and beyond the pale Of assistance.
Hundreds of vessels daily pass through the
Florida straits on their way to foreign ports
and those which are located on the shores
Of the Gulf, and, in order to avoid the ad-
verse currents, vessels skirt along the edge
of the stream and the long, arid reef, with
its succession of varied dangers, menacingly
paving the way ike teeth in a shark jaw.
However uncertain the navigation of the
waters adjacent to these reefs may be by day
it becomes tenfold more hazardous by night
Notwithstanding the fact that chain Of
lights on the desolate reefs cast ruddy
glare to the mariner on the sea, yet plain
sailing is out Of the question, for the
beacons are at an average distance Of 25
miles apart, and, all other day marks being
hidden by the darkness of night. the nayi-
gator feels his way withionly the compass
and deep sea lead to guide him. The con-
sciousness that slight divergence from the
proper course may lead to disaster Keeps
him on the pms and needles Of anxiety
