come a fearsome individual and the

SIN the midst of Zephrin's ill-repute
singular thing occurred. He was known
to have fallen into conversation with
customer. 1t was this way: Coette
Dion came often to the mill with the
grist of her mother-a poor widow with
l3 children, of whom Colette was the
eldest One day when she came down
along the dandelion-dotted pathway
leading to the mill, with her mothers
grist in bag upon her head, Zephrin
watched her with much interest. If
common report may be believed she was
certainly. in those days. picture not to
be blinked casually. She had the figure
of nymph and face, for all it was
commonplace at points, something un-
usually fine for villager. But the step,
the carriage; it remains to this day, as
we have seen, monsieur, dignified, dis
tinguished, majesticl AT first glance, it
is said, there was some remarkable re-
semblance between Colette and Zephrin
and who can tell? it may have been
some vague, suggestion of congeniality
some thin ray as from one distant
planet to another which inspired the
miller's interest.
when, at length she arrived at the
door of the mill and deposited her bur-
den beside it, said he:
"You have meaning step p'tite and
a pretty one"
"'Truc?' questioned Colette, with
something finely scornful on her elo-
quent lips She was piqued, let us be-
lieve, since he had not noticed her pretty
face; for, though a woman may be con-
scious of her subtlest grace and charm,
homage TO the features is the thing-the
real joy. Isn't il so, Barbon? 'Wcil,'
said the miller, i doubt not there is
more in your mind than the mere grind
ing of yonder grist, eh?'
at is my mind now,' said she. IT
was my step lately!'
" 1T is the mind which regulates the
step p'tte. ] always watch the step
when l would know the mind" he re-
sponded.
''Now, there is much in these frag-
ments which reveals the clearness of
Zephrin's mind at that period and also
the real character of the man and the
bent of his spirit. You see, it was the
gesture, the carriage, the aspect that in
tercsted him most. Why? We shall
see. Though Coiette, it may be pre-.

The sailor hat seems never to go out

A stylish waist has the collar and very

She must never be the wife of common
miller, but of great man, a man whom
the whole world applauded. And so
she waited; trusting, loving, believing
in him infinitely; and even when her
reason is fallen into decay-see the de-
votion! Each day, all these years, she
goes to the mill and tends upon him,
performing the household duties, con-
Quoting the business of the mill, de-
failing the work and instructing the
men hired to do the milling. Thus
has she cared for him as no one would
care for child and, in all, save the
matter of this vagary, he is obedient
to her slightest whim."
Brabon touched the notarys arm.
See! They come again!"
Once more the bizarre figure strobe past,
followed by the woman. They had
walked to the church where Colette
was making noveua for Zephrm's re-
covery.

Moisson-Zephrin, she declared was not

very sensible and good-natured. Yet
her mother warned her she must be

said she, they say also as naught things

And you know, mamma, am otproud

her, so she retorted:

"'Well, if should ask you to marry

the twinkle of mischief in her eyes.

found over pound of nails.
Barnum's trick horses are fairly bert

Wesley, Me-, that the driver left stard-

to a mower. In his absence they cut
two neat swaths completely around
the field, without missing u spear of
grass, turning the corners accurately.
All efforts to trace the capercalzie and
black game imported in Aroostook, Me-,
from old Sweden last spring have proved
fruitless. Now and then comes rumor
that they have been seen or heard. They
have doubtless retreated to the deep
Canadian pine forests, and the bene-
fits of their importation will be reaped
in future years.
Few hunters have returned from the
woods with more satisfaction than that
felt by Miss Jennie Eliot, of South Sc
bee, Me-, who recently saw two deer
grazing in her fathers moving field,
and succeeded in getting an excellent
Photographic snap shot at them. In
the picture one of the deer is in the
attitude of leaping, all four Of it's legs
being off the ground.
A swordfish strayed away from home
and friends few days ago and lost his
life while exploring the old basin in
side of the old breakwater at Block

known half dozen men, one with a
harpoon, went on the breakwater, and.
when the fish was near the instrument
was thrown, with the desired result.
1t is said that this is the first fish of
the kind ever known to have been seen
in the basin.
