And so within few weeks our little

held in the house of DIR. Walker. Then
there were health drinking and tears and
laughter and changing of dresses and
rice throwing when the carriages drove
up again, and two more couples started
ON that journey which ends only with
life itself
Charles Westmacott is now flourish
ing ranchman in the western part OF
Texas. where he and his sweet little wife
are the two most popular persons in all
that county. Of their aunt they see
little, but from time to time they see no
tices in the papers that there is focus
of light in Denver, where mighty thun-
derbolts are being forged which will one
day bring the dominant sex upon their
knees. The admiral and his wife still
live at No. 1, while Harold and Clara
have taken No. ., where DR.. Walker con-
tnues to reside.

ENTRAPPED-A lady who had a very
slow domestic noticed that it took the
girl nearly half the day to scrub the
kitchen-a piece of work that should
have been accomplished in an hour.
She accompanied her scrubbing brush
with song, and the mistress listened to
the slow music she made
Mid pleasures-scrub-and palaces
scrub-tho' We may-scrub-roam,
BE it ever so-scrub-humble, there's
no-scrub--place like home"
Hannah" called the mistress, "I'm
tired of hearing Home, Sweet Home;'
sing Nancy Lee"
Nothing loath, the girl did so and fell
into the trap so cleverly set for her.
Her brush flew over the boards, and
by the time she had finished the song
the floor was scrubbed as white as snow
The poetry of motion had made swift
work.

Treatment For Wounds.

DR.. Eichler, in the "Aerzt, Prakt, ~
advocates Peru balsam as dressing
which causes lacerated wounds to heal
quickly, its points of adaptation being
that it adheres well and covers the en-
tire surface of the wounds; it has a
drying effect, but stimulates granula-
tions, and following application scab
is formed under which healing goes on
DR.. Eichler states that its use is especial
ly indicated in the treatment of wounds
having tendency to marked suppura-
tion or partial gangrene. and in in
juries of the hands and fingers the re-
suits are excellent. In practice, after
coaptition of the margins of the wound.
the Peru balsam is poured over the en-
fire surface, which is then covered with
thin layers of gauze moistened with
balsam and an ordinary dressing. The
latter may be left in place for several
days, though it is an advantage to re-
move the outer dressing daily and
moisten the game with. the balsam
without removing it from the wound.

CHAPTER XVII.
IN PORT AT LAST.

Day had broken before the several den-
izens Of The Wilderness had all returned
to their homes, the police finished their
inquiries, and all come back to its nor
NAL quiet. Mrs. Westmacott had been
left sleeping peacefully with a small
chloral draft to steady her nerves and
handkerchief soaked in arnica bound
round her head. 1t was with some sur
prise, therefore, that the admiral re-
ceived a note from her about 10 o'clock
asking HIM to be good enough to step in to
her. He hurried in, fearing that she might
have taken some turn for the worse, but
he was reassured to find her sitting up in
her bed, with Clara and Ida Walker in
attendance upon her. She had removed
the handkerchief and had put on a little
cap with pink ribbons and a maroon
dressing Jacket daintily fulled at the
neck and sleeves.
"My dear friend" said she as he en-
tered, II wish to make last few re-
marks to you. No, no." she continued,
laughing as she saw look of dismay
upon his face, u shall not dream of
dying for at least another 30 years. A
woman should be ashamed to die before
she is 70. 1 wish, Clara, that you would
ask your father to step up. And you,
Ida, just pass me my cigarettes and open
me bottle of stout.
"Now, them" she continued as the
doctor Joined their party, Il don't quite
know what | ought to say to you, ad-
miral. You want some very plain speak
ing to-"
"'Pon my word, ma'am, don't know
what you are talking about"
"The idea of you at your age talking
of going to sea and leaving that dear pa
tient little wife of yours at home, who
has seen nothing of you all her life! It's
all very well for you. You have the life,
and the change, and the excitement, but

GRAINS OF GOLD.
Slander is yaporized venom.

SANDER is vaporized venom.
A white lie only hurts the liar.
Sunshine is the leaven of living.
Speech is a deformity in some people.
Live with wolves and you will learn
to howl
The law directs the head; the gospel
the heart.
1t is not the longest life that has the
most in it.
He that doth what he will doth not
what he ought.
Contentment is natural wealth, luxury
is artificial poverty.
1t is the real downright, incurable fool
who never knows it.
An ounce of realization is seldom
worth pound of hope.
People of good sense are those whose
opinions agree with ours.
Faith is the greatest builder, and
envy the greatest destroyer.
Charity is the salt of riches, without
which they corrupt themselves.
Half the discomfort of life is the re-
suit of getting tired of ourselves.
To be really and truly independent is
to support ourselves by our own exer-
tions.
Intellect without judgment is what
ails about one half the smart people in
this world.
To lie about man never hurts him,
but to tell the truth about him some
times does.
Let friendship creep gently to a height;
if it rush to it, it may soon run itself
out of breath.
Two souls with but single thought
don't often turn the thought on to the
cost of living.
1t is not so much for love of the world
that we seek it as to escape our own
comPanionship.
1t is easier to enrich ourselves with a
thousand virtues than to correct our
selves of single fault.

Swiftly and furtively the man stood
suddenly erect and began to push the
window slowly up. Then he put one
knee upon the sash. glanced round to see
that all was safe and climbed over into
the room As he did so he had to push
the blind aside. Then the two spectators
saw where the light came from. Mrs
Westmacott was standing as rigid as a
statue in the center of the room, with a
lighted taper in her right hand. For an
instant they caught a glimpse of her
stern face and her white collar. Then
the blind fell back into position, and the
two figures disappeared from their view.

TWILIGHT.

A clear, pale sky-serene and autumn cold.
Thin floats the buoyant crescent silver keen
Through luminous far drawn spaces family
green,
Save for one long, low, lingering streak of gold
Blue msts the hushed and supine land enfold
And dim the winding little rivers sheen,
Where, darkly clustered, shadowy willows
lean,
And chill and heavy lie on plain and void.
Now as the daylight's eager voices fade,
And life is narrowed to shrinking span,
Atwilight breath of calm and peace and shade
Now on the hot and restless heart of man.
From Individual hopes and fears set free,
quiet touch from out the unknown is laid
The thought of composing eternity!

tinues to reside.

As to the business, it had been recon-
structed, and the energy and ability of
the junior partner had soon made up for
all the i'll that had been done by his sen
ior. Yet with his sweet and refined
home atmosphere he is able to realize
his wish and to keep himself free from
the sordid aims and base ambitions
which drag down the man whose bust
ness lies too exclusively in the money
market of the vast Babylon. AS he goes
back every evening from the crowds of
Throgmorton street to the tree lined,
peaceful avenues of Norwood, so he has
found it possible in spirit also to do
ones duties amid the babel of the city
and yet to live beyond it.
