He glanced through the open door.
"She" stood at the table mixing the
bread. He watched her deftly nov
ing hands and comely face. To him
she was the most beautiful, the most
sacred thing in the world. Awkward
and uneducated she might have seemed
to some, but in his eyes she was wo.
manhood apotheosized, glorified.

The girls step sounded behind
them and she stood Of Tobe's side. In
an instant he was on his feet and
brought her a chair. lie did not offer
to touch her, but his every attitude
bespoke his rude alteration. He rea-
lized her position in his house, a painful
one, even for that primitive neighbor-
hood. There was to be nothing be-

not hear.

colored material, buttoned at the knee,
silk sbirts with dog-toby collars to
match, kind of feminine jacket and
felt hats turned up and fastened with
a buckle on one side. 1t was the
neatest, prettiest and most womanly

over the hills or chased the moorland

one. From II to 4 the camp slept
and smoked and read. Then, when

THE ROSE OF STARS.
When Love, our great Immortal.
Put on mortality.

When Love, our great Immortal,
Put on mortality,
And down from Eden's portal
Brought this sweet world TO be,
At the sublime archangel
He laughed with veiled eyes,
For he bore within his bosom
The seed OF Paradise.
He hid II In his bosom,
And there such warmth il found,
It brake IN bud and blossom,
Aud the rose fell on the ground;
As the green light on the prairie,
As the red light on the sea,
Though fragrant belts Of summer
Came this sweet world 10 be.
And the grave archangel, seeing,
Spread his mighty vans for flight.
But glow hung round him fleeing
Like the rose of an Arctic night;
Aud sadly moving helvenward
by Venus and by Mars,
He heard the joyful planets
Hail Earth, the Rose Of Stars.

Ii was a month later. The corn had
commenced to turn brown and nam.
moth stacks OF hay were built here and
there on the farms and ranches. Tobe
sat III the soft moonlight in his seat
beside the door, Burdock beside him.
The two carried on an interested con.
versaticn, Tobe talking in an under
tone, Burdock replying by turning his
head sideways and pricking up his
ears, and occasionally scraping his tail
back and forth over the ground. With
IN IA bright lamp shone on an improved
interior and on the form of the young
woman, as she moved quietly about
the room, putting it to rights. Her
low song, a snatch OF hymn that be
had heard nc campmeeting when he
was n boy, foated to Tobe's ears.
"There Is fountain filed with blood,
Drawn from Immanuels veins"
And the room had changed, beyond
the mere presence OF neat. handed
woman. There were new chairs, ta-
BILE, O chest of drawers, bed, stove,
gaudy dishes behind the glass doors of

but still very splendid in country
where the only freight, express and
mail lines were wagon trains that
branched out from the Santa Fe trail
to the outlying places where people
were trying to build homes and com.
munities. New bedding, gay print
curtains at the small windows,
q few highly colored Autographs on
the walls and punches of tissue paper
flowers evidenced the woman's hand,
as did the neatness and the spray of
prairie flowers in medicine bottle on
the window sill. The invalid, thin and
white'haired, lay on his pillow in weak
content.

Dor and commodities of selling nations
at the lowest possible notch.
1t has never been successfully dis
puted that when there is an abundance
of money prices of labor and commOdi-
ties are high; when the value Of money
is increasing prices rise. On the other
hand when the volume of money is
diminished prices fall. and when the
volume is small prices Of labor and
commodities are low. This small vol
ume of money and corresponding low
prices of commodities is what England
and other European nations similarly
situated are DESTROYS of maintaining.
They are therefore unalterably opposed
to the reconciliation of silver and the
restoration of bimetallism.

THE LORD CHEF JUSTICE OF ENGLAND.
ton was aroused, and from that time
his course proceeded ever upward and
onward.
In Belfast, where he practiced some
years as a solicitor, Lord Russell met
and married Ellen MulholIand, daugh-
ter OF an eminent medical practitioner,
Dr.. Joseph Mulho1land Lady Russell is
possessed Of literary gifts and attain
ments of high order, which she mod
estly keeps in the background while de-
voting herself to the wide duties of the
life which has claimed her.
Soon after his marriage Lord Russell
left Ireland and began in London his
study of the higher branches of the
legal profession. 1t was at this period
of his life that he brought into play his
wonderful energy, patience and power
Of endurance. In order to begin at the
bottom round Of the ladder he began his
career in London as a reporter for the
press in the gallery of the house of COM
mons, devoting his spare time to the
bar, to which he was admitted at the
close of the fifties
As is well known, his rise in the pro-
fession was hardly less than phenome-
young Irishman began to be consulted
by eminent jurists, statesmen and polit-
zeal leaders, his opinions being often
valued higher than those Of his superiors
in years and experience. In the course
of time his views on legal subjects be-
gan to be accepted as authority and his
appointment as a justice of the court of
appeal and subsequent promotion to the
chief justieeship we're regarded as but
fitting recognition of his great worth.
Among the most notable landmarks
of Lord Russell's career at the bar may
be mentioned the ParneI1 commission of
1888 and 1889; the Colin Campbell di-
voree ease; the great Belt versus Lawes
trial, in which the leading artists of
the Royal academy were called 10 the
witness stand; the Wyndham Iunacy
petition; the exposure Of the card sharp
er known as Lambri Pasha; the Boring
sea arbitration, and last, but by no
means least, the Maybrick case, Lord
Russell, who in those days was nothing
but Sir Charles, coming forward as the
champion for the innocence of the pTis-
oner. III W hioh to this day he processes
to believe.
The personality Of Lord Russell is
particularly pleasing. He is a genial
acquaintance, a sincere friend ana a
tower OF true manhood.

The club decided to conduct a poll of

the other members will assist.
The membership of the club is ex-

Lord Chief Justice.
Romantic Career of Lord Charles Rus

His Success at the Bar.

Charles Russell, lord chief Justice Of
England, who comes to this country to
attend the meeting Of the American Bar
association at Saratoga, is one of the
great men of modern times. His bril-
hancy as an orator would alone entitle
him to high place in public esteem,
but added to this he possesses such rare
ability as jurist and so il1ustrious a
character as a man that England could
find no filter way to show her apprecia-
ton of him than to elevate him to be,
next to the lord chancellor, the highest
judicial dignitary of the land
The career of this great legal lumi-
nary is full of interest His history
forms record of great successes. every
one we'll worked for and we'll deserved.
He was born in 1888 at Baliypot, in the
outskirts of Newry, Ireland. He is of
honorable ancestry, being a scion of
the old Arthur Russell stock which
has fourished at Killough, near Down
patrick, for the past 500 years. All of
the Russells were Catholics, and the
prosecutions they suffered makes long
chapter of woe. However, they could
not be severed from their fealty to the
old faith. In this quality of adherence

The first public school Lord Russell
attended was conducted by Mr. Nolan,
IN Newry. Later young Russell spent
some time at st. Malaehi's, Belfast,
and at st. Vincent's, Castleknock, near
Dublin.
Some years later he attended Trinity
college, Dublin, having for his tutor
Professor J. K. Ingram, who has a fame
other than academioal connected with
the popularity of his revolutionary bal
lads During this time Lord Russell
was already practicing as a solicitor in
Belfast, and he never took out his de-

as a mere boy, he was placed with a
firm Of solicitors at Newry.
In 1851, before leaving his native
town, he made his first public appear

was a contest for a prize offered by the
Newry institute for the best essay on
