-hc says: AT the end Of tho chamber,
just behind tho first bulls was former
ty n strong wooden gate, of one leaf,
which was fastened by o largo wooden
lock, like those still used In the cast,
of which tho key is as much as q man

which moved into square hole in the
wall. 1t is to n key of this description
that the prophet probably nlludes.
And the key OF the house of David

remarkable that the word for key in
this passage of Scripture, 'lnuftal.' is
the same in use all over the cast at the
present time. Tho key Of a ordinary

ut one end of the piece of wood core

The whistle of the down river steamer
blew promptly at Standish landing,
sending its snort through every room of
Rose Villa, and scarce had the echo
come back from the hills behind when
she was again moving cityward.
The whistle had been heard by both
girls in Bennie's dainty boudoir above
the porch, and it brought her father and
aunt to the door to greet the visitors
Sincere and cordial welcome they re-
ceived from both, Miss Tabtha's recent
annoyance melting in surprise at their
changed appearance.

honesty, but not releasing the slender
CANT suede while he spoke. THAT goes
without saying You must feel that of
all the women here-and they are the

The girl had gently Withdrawn her
hand; but the face she turned toward
the breeze tossed Hudson glowed with
something nearer kin to blush than the
homage of all the great leaders of her
city german had ever called to its olive
smOOthnesS.
Longfellow has told of those moments
in life when the heart is so full of emo
ton that a careless word may cause an
overlooking splash; and Adrien Latours
was probably trimming, for he went on
eagerly, as the girl did not reply:
But of course you know how prize
it! and so does-Dale."
Edith Van der Huysen never changed
feature; and the excusable smile at
the gaucherie of nature in the Creole's
peroration did not come to her lips. She
still looked riverward as she answered
slowly, but without pause;

Poetry, the riding school, the last HOP

though he had managed to get one foot

only as they sighted the guard tent,
homeward bound, did she recur to Dale
Everett.

AS she spoke the clear note of assem-

The second bugle note rang out clear

caught the low whisper:
