statesmen in dry goods store, hired
bicycles and took a spin into the

PrussiA's Forests.

The largest continuous distinct for
est district in West Prussia, is known
as the Tucheler Haide, and extends
over an era of thirty-fve square miles.
1t is subject to great and sudden
changes of temperature. Snow has
fallen as late as May 10, and night
frosts have occurred as late as the Isl
and Bird of June. Prehistoric remains
are found belonging to the later stone
and to the bronze ages. The inhab-
itants are occupied almost entirely
with forestry and agriculture. Polish
is still the prevalent language. though
German is now generally understood.

A Juvenile Editor.

The youngest editor in the world is
Lady Marjorie, the thirteen-yesr-old
daughter of Lord and Lady Aberdeen.
Lady Marjorie lives in Canada and has
a lovely suit of rooms in the govern
ment house at Ottawa. When Lord
Aberdeen was appointed governor gen
eral of Canada Lady Marjorie grieved
deeply, because she felt she must give
up the editorship of her little paper on
her removal to America. but she was
consoled by being told that she might
continue editing her paper Just the
same here as in England. Lady Mar
iorie is in delicate health. and her
anxious mother fears that the ambiti-
Gus essays and poems and editorials
attempted by her little daughter are
not very good for childs brain.-N.

CHAPTER XI.

! stood still to listen outside the
hut, bu. all was silent no glimmer of
lights showed through the cracks of
the crazy old shutters.
Evidently the StYrian had little
anticipated his usual time for retir-
ing, and presently he gave an-oral
proof OF it, for a distant sound OF
snoring reached me, and | smiled at
discovering the quarter whence it
issued, being no less place than
the bedroom upstairs, which he evil
IDENTITY preferred to the shakedowh /
had made up for him below.
No sound could have pleased me
better. He slept with barricaded
doors, secure as fortress, and with
not the smallest fear of surprise to
keep him awake. Exhausted as he
was his slumbers were likely to be
profound, and my spirits rose as l
went round to the back of the hut,
and lit the lantern with which l had
provided myself at the inn.
The door of the small clubhouse or
lean-to yielded readily to my touch;
| closed the door behind me, and
looked through the narrow grating
have before mentioned, into the
room beyond. The embers on the
hearth still glowed, but the place
was in total darkness, and at once !
opened the door and stepped in.
Overhead came the long regular
breathing Of the Syrian For awhile
| stood listening, then removed my
boots, darkened the lantern, and
with the utmost caution proceeded
to creep up the stairs that ended in
an open space, in one corner Of which
stood the bed upon which my unbid-
den guest had disposed himself.
He was fully dressed. so much l
saw in the narrow blink of the Ian
tern which permitted myself to I'M
cover, and bitter disappointment
seized me, for l knew that the thing
| sought was actually on his body,
and that my chances for taking it
from him were small indeed.
He lay on his back. one hand open
and empty, thrown behind his head,
the other hidden beneath the cover
lid with which he had half wrapped
himself.
At a little distance from the bed
was a chair, and upon this ! sat
down to think, but thought availed
me little. Nothing short Of over
coming him by sheer physical
strength, which outmatched his,
which l did not possess, could wrest
from him that little box in which he
found nourishment and strength and
in the fellow to which Seth Treloar
had met his death.
Alone l could do nothing, but with
the help of Jake-Jake whose clumsy
movements would certainly have
awakened the sleeper. l might by
good luck have bound and robbed
him, but was alone, unarmed, and
my wit failed me.
may have sat there a minute or
an hour when with a half groan he
turned on his side, and suddenly
threw out en- arm that fell sheer
across my chest and rested there
1t had all the weight Of a blow,
and l trembled under the shock. it
was so horribly unexpected; but as
the moments passed, and his regular
breathing convinced me that he
slept l gradually shifted the Ian
tern and cautiously stole a ray Of
light that showed me his strong fin
gers closed tightly on the horn box
that ! was perilling my life to steal.
