swan as swimmer does who knows
his strength and joys in the exhil-
arating sport.
She had never talked to him in just
this way, and to hold her own in the
under-tow through which his mascu-
line mind buffeted it's way with mas
terly ease brought the pink to her
cheeks and the light to her eyes.
Again the train stopped, and Mrs.
Bassett and her daughter, Matilda,
numbered into the second coach ahead.
Augusta, observing her, and wishing to
summarily punish Giles for his daring
characterization, loudly declared her
intention of going to Matilda. Bid
ding Val follow with her basket, Miss
King, with a sharp glance of swapping
black eyes that was lost upon Giles,
Aounced up the aisle and out of the
coach.
From the Bassett farm to the next
probable stopping place was a stretch
Of nearly ten miles; beyond this farms
and villages began to chicken, and
slowing up would be the order of the
day.
As If ignorant of Augustus desertion,
Giles took up the thread of converse
ton where it had dropped, and began

testify pitiable reel of good intention,

forth and took it from him.

THE EDITORS THANKSGIVING
BY TON +. MORGAN.
What have to be thankful for?"
unused the able editor of the Hawville

What have to be thankful for?"
unused the able editor of the Hawville
Clarion, one Thanksgiving day.
The bore-for every country editors
sanctuIn has its bore, just as much
as every dog has a tail, and, in
reality, more SO. If 4 dog is deprived
of his tail he will never, never get an
other, but if a newspaper Office loses
its bore his place is soon filed by sue
cessor.
The particular bore that infested the
Clarion Office was like the bore that in
tests every other country newspaper
Office. He came day after day, and sat
and gabbed and blabbed and spat and
blew where he listed. U Jon this oc-
casion he was engaged in the arduous
task of overhauling the editors barrel
of exchanges. Whatever it was that
he wanted to find, it was always at the
bottom of the barrel. When he dug
down in the barrel and turned the bot
tom part of its contents up to the top,
the particular periodical that he
yearned for was still at the bottom.
Meanwhile, the editor, grown callous
to the presence of the bore, unused
sadly:
Man wants but little here below
and generally gets it. What have l to
be thankful for?"
Times had gone hardly with him dur
ing the past summer and autumn. The
pawpaw crop had been a total failure,
and he had not seen complimentary
ticket to circus in many moons lie
had not received a dollar onfsubscrip-
ton all the week, nor a peck of coun-
try produce since early in the month.
''Vox Populi," his trusted correspond
ent, had risen against him two or three
times recently and unblushingly ad-
vocated theories Numerically anti
gaddling, so to speak, to the political
policy of the editorial side of the paper,
This had lost him subscribers.
Things had gone from bad to worse
till now he was down to zero in
finances and feelings. Recently the
wife of his bosom had eloped with a
man who owed him eighteen dollars,
leaving the editor with three small
red-headed children on his hands.
And now, as if fate, having gotten
him down, was DESTROYS of dancing on

Miss Emerson wound on and on.
Once over Giles square shoulder she
saw Walls face peering in at them from
the outside platform. A demoniacal
grin warped his handsome features,
which disappeared an instant later,
and then
It was not noticeable at first. Giles
sweet responsibility, his gentle willing
ness to be consoled and entertained by
her, shut out all lesser sensations. 1t
was only when, feeling the train
slacken in speed, she lifted her eyes
and peered over Giles shoulder, that
she discovered it. With a bound she
was upon her feet, her hand grasping
the arm of the man before her.
What is it, Miss Emerson" asked
Giles, unable to read between the
frowning lines at the meeting of her
delicate brows.
What is it?" she echoed" Valentine
Starr" and she looked toward the
place where his dark, bright, malevo-
lent face last Swallowed the frosty
pane. Giles followed her glance with
his own and cried out in establishment.
The coach, in which they were being
slowly brought to a standstill, had

under the exasperating circumstances.

Miss Emerson may be excused for
wincing slightly at this stunningly
honest confession-"but I've been doing
better N listening. I've been making
up my mind. All the while your soft,
bright voice was seeming to blow little
rainbow bubbles through the air l
was building scales out of my heart

Giles stopped and looked dreamily
out at the floating flakes that swirled.
and danced, and shot up again in the
wind, as though settling with their fell
lows on the soft, pure levels below were
the last of their intentions.
The snowstorm shut the two occu-
pants Of the coach into little world of
their own. No landmarks were dis
cernible-their whereabouts a mystery
neither of them was in hurry to solve
"And you weighed them-with
mental, moral, physical or spiritual
weights, Giles-which?''
You're laughing at mei'' cried the
young man, turning to face counte-
nance wreathed in smiles: but what he
dreaded he did not find. He met, in
stead, a pair of the sweetest humid
blue eyes in the world, their long
lashes moist, their dark pupils dilat-
ing.

For three cold, halcyon hours they
watched for q sign of rescue, hoping for
its delay. Mary told Giles the simple
story of her life, of its ambitions, of its
loneliness. AT noon they opened the

of the reform committee had broken
into the office and embezZled the resi-
due of his ink and used it in tar and
feathering superfluous citizen who
was not a subscriber.
The red-headed children were crying
for bread. and so the editor took them
out and seated them on the fence posts,
in the hope that the red-headed wood
pecl>ers would be struck by the family
resemblance and feed them.
During the absence of the editor a
large man, dressed in beetling frown
and huge aquatic-elm club, strobe
into the Office. The bore's head was
still immersed in the barrel of ex-
changes, and, as all men look much
alike in that attitude. the visitor nat
urally mistook the bore for the editor
and fell upon him with the club just
mentioned.
1t is sufficient to say that the large
man pounded the bore down into the
barrel well nigh to the bottom, tamped
him in firmly and departed whistling a
merry lay. When the editor returned
and had broken open the barrel and
gazed upon the quivering carcass of
the bore, he lifted his hands on high
and cried:
81 am thankful from the bottom of
my soul for what didn't get!'

BRITISH CABINET SALARIES.
They Range From $4,000 to $1,000
Per Year

The salaries of the members of the
English Cabinet are so large as to startle
an American, says the Washington Post.
| The Secretary for Foreign Affairs and
Prime Minister MIR. Gladstone, gets S50,-
900 year; the Chancellor OF the EX-
chequer, S25, 900; the Lord High Chancel-
lor, $780, 900; the Lord Lieutenant of Ire

First Lord Of the Admiralty, So, ,000 the
Lord Chancellor OF ireland, 500, 900, and
the President of the Board of Trade,
$4,000.
In their military and naval establish
ments the English pay salaries that would
make our higher officers feel like mill
ionaires could they get them. 1t is true
that up to the grade of Major, or even
/ Colonel, our army is better paid than any
in Continental Europe, but there the ad-
vantage stops. 1t Is very rare to find an
English officer, unless he is a promotion
from the ranks, who has not some in
come outside of his salary. The Major
General commanding the United States
Army receives s., 800 per annum. The
. Duke OF Cambridge, the Commander-in-
! Chief Of the British Army, is compen-
stated with S33, 100 for that service alone.
ii is pay as honorary Colonel Of various
regiments is almost one-half as much
more, while his annuity from The nation
is $4,000 His Private Secretary, Colonel
a. G. +. Fitz-George-wh is his son, by
the way-gets $4,000 per annum, besides
his regimental pay, for this agreeable
service. General Ruggles, Adiutant-
General of the United States Army, re-
ceiver s., 800 yearly. His British friend,
who holds the same position now, Cen
eral Sir Redvers Butler. one Of England's
ablest fighting men, gets the handsome
sum of Sl3, 800, besides extra pay amount
ing TO more than 5000. The Quarter
master-General of the English army re-
ceives $4,000, while the pay of the Amer
can officer at the head of this department
is -, 500, and no allowances.
Her Majesty Victoria, Empress and
Queen, gets from the nation 81, ,g15, 900, and
her income from property belonging to
her and inherited is as much more. The
Prince of Wales gets 100000 per year.
Marlborough House, a splendid palace, is
fitted up for him by the nation, which
also paid for his superb estate of Sand
ringham in Norfolk. The Duke of Edin-
burgh, the second son, until lately has
had to wag along on Sl25,000 and his pay
as a full Admiral. He has recently be-
come German Prince, where his pay is
higher. The pay of an English Lieuten-
