THE Red Cross society has com

in the relief which it has convened
to the stricken people of the Sea ISL

1t was in September last that the

the Red Cross society, which. oY

Excuse me- he said. just then
the ras iared out in the lower hall.
He made out soft. oval face and
dainty figure, as he passed. Julian
was a big fellow, with features of
strength rather than of beauty, but
for all that he was a sensitive
whose impressions of people were as
sure as a dogs instinct about his
master. The young woman's ''atmos-
phere" was agreeable. II followed
him-to his room.
He lighted the gas and looked
around. 1t was a goodish den for a
literary worker. The carpet of pale
greens and olives was almost new.
The windows had lace curtains, and a
fair outlook.
He sat down and tilted back his
chair A curious plot for story had
come into his mind. 1t seemed TO
start out of that chance encounter ON
the stairs, yet he scarcely realized it
then, so subtle is the action OF the
brain.
His heart began to beat quickly. He
had done a good deal of patient work
in the past, with Indifferent success,
but such impromtu mental activity
was new. He took it as a good omen.
He had a strain Of what we call super
stition, in his nature. a strange
dream had impressed him with the be-
lief that with mis- change of quarters,
something was to happen-for the
better.
The bright, unique ideas came pour
ing into his mind like a flood They
clamored for expression. He found a
pencil in his pocket and looked around
for paper He had not scrap. His
trunks would not come till morn ing.
If he stirred from the room TO hunt mp
stationer the aroma of the story
would be sure to escape. He thought
desperately of his eaffs. his shirt
bosom, and execrated the motley wall
paper. Had it been plain, it should
have done duty as a tablet.
He sprang from his chair. The COW
ering of the quaint table in the corner
was of white Standardization
marble" lie sat down and marked
it off in spaces. The pencil glided
over it smoothly. He wrote quickl Y
and without effort He knew he had
never done anything like this before.
Some one seemed to be debating at
his elbow. He had heard and read of
such cases. Now he was the subject.
He wrote column after column, till
the cloth was covered. He leaned
back and surveyed it. He knew the
thing was unique and exquisitely
wrought out. 1t was a love story,
with that dainty creature on the dim
stairway fitting through ii. Julian's
eyes grew misty. He looked at his
watch. The three hours he had been
writing had seemed but five minutes.

May Become an Island.

Europe may become an island.
Howe Why, in very simple way,

The Russian government is going
to do this by constructing a water
way from the Baltic to the Black
sea, and if an island is only Gland
entirely surrounded by water' what
else will Europe be then2 The rivers
Dneiper and Dwina are to be con-
nected by canal, and, 10! the whole
thing is done.
Any one thinking for a moment
can easily see why such a waterway
would be of enormous value to Rus
STA. The only route now by which a
warship, for instance, can get from
st. Petersburg to Odessa or Sevasto-
pol Is by way Of the British channel,
the strait of Gibraltar and the Medi-
terranean sea.
After a ship gets that far it meets
with impediments in the way of in
ternationl treaties, which prevent it's
crossing the Dardanelles, so that
Russia has to build at vast expense
storehouses, docks, shipyards and
naval arsenals both at Sevastopol
and then again at Cronstadt, at the
mouth of the Neva. No wonder it

the great canal It will be a great
gain in the end. New York World.

In a Yorkshire village there lived
three brothers, bachelors. The only
other inmate Of their household was
housekeeper. The brothers, re-
turning home to dinner one day,
found the housekeeper missing. On
making inquiries, they discovered
she had that morning married a
farmer who lived near. It was evil
dent there was no chance Of getting
back their runaway housekeeper and
equally so that they must have some
one to manage their domestic affairs.
The eldest brother said that the
best thing would be for one of them
to marry; but, headded: I shall not
be that one. I am too old to marry"
''Nor I" said the second one, who
considered himself something Of an
invalid Il shall never think of mar
