on the Bears Neck. happy In her love,
secure In her faith, strong in her hope,
unceasing In her vigil. "when he
comes, you must be the first to greet
him." her heart whispered. "You must
be the first to take his hand" and
Lizette was ruled by her heart.
The old people in the village shook
their heads sadly, when they spoke of
her; the young girls shrugged their
shoulders and gave toss OF their
heads; the young men gazed wistfully
as she walked quietly down the village
street. She was "la belle Lizette" to
them, and to their sisters and sweet
hearts, ia pauvre Lizette." But she did
not know, she lived in the past and
waited for the future; the present was
the purgatory of her love. She endured
patiently, silently, uncomplainingly;
smiled when the day died, for IL
brought her nearer the future; awoke
smiling, for the joy of waiting and
hoping wos to be hers, until the night.
Pere Cboucard misunderstood her
and spoke harshly. Called her silly,
foolish, and bluntly told her he would
never come back; that his words and
bis promises were idle; that his love
was fancy, the dream Of a day; that
ere this he was welded to one of his
own standing, and had long ago for
gotten the little girl of the Cove.
Pere Choucard often spoke thus, but
Lizette only listened indulgently and
smiled. Pere Choucard was so good, so
strong, yet SO rough, and Pere Chou
card was old, and spent the day mend
ing his fishing nets or working in his
little garden. The Pere did not under
stand; he could not; so Lizette only
smiled and said, softly:

she was sorry for him.
Mere Choucard did not understand
either. She thought Lizette was I'M

laugh or go to merry parties with the
other young folks. She did not know

Sometimes, when it rained, and the

SOME WONDERFUL MEN.

Matthew Buckinger, German, who,
many years ago, exhibited himself in
London, had neither arms nor legs, but
nevertheless, managed to write a good
hand, very clear and round, by holding
the pen between the stump of the right
arm and his cheek.

A SUMMERS LOVE.

Lizette stood ON Bears Neck and
razed longingly at the speck of white
on the border of the horizon. The mist
was slowly rising from the water,
which lay smooth and still, save for
a gentle undulation, like the rise and
fall of a sleeping baby's breast. In the
east the vapor was pierced by a thou
sand golden arrows and was fleeing
from the assault in wierd, fantastic
rout, upward, ever upward, until lost
in the harmony of the green-gray sky.
Straight to the point of Cheeks Head
the host of advancing day was directed,
and Lizette knew that in a few mo-
nents the rocks, now dripping with the
moisture, would sparkle under the
golden beams, as if set with a million
precious stones.

scene, she carefully shaded her eyes

SPAIN STILL FRETTING.

The Spanish newspapers are saying
mean things again about the United
States. 1t is announced in Madrid that
Spain will take her own time in an
swering the recent note OF Minister
WoodfOrd, in which the policy of the
United States and the views of the Nc
Kinley administration with respect to
filibustering are set out at length. Spain
ment has any rights or interests in
Cuba one way or the other. Their pa
pels declare that it would be humiliat-
ing TO admit that Spain might possibly
be compelled TO listen TO advice from
this side of the ocean. One of the trou-
bles in the case is involved in the fact
that Cuba is not only ON this side of the
ocean, but close to the borders of The
greatest republic on the globe. Another
trouble is the bigOtry and intolerance
of the Spanish people. There is nothing
that this government might do but that
would be viewed at Madrid as an un-
act. Secretary Cages recent
report shows that this government has
much more than Spain herself
in patrOlling Cuban waters to prevent
expeditions. Spain's talk
of war with the United States in view
of the fact that the former has been ut
terly unable to patrol the island OF Cuba
becomes bOsh. Most Americans think
that the United States has gone too far
in protecting Spanish interests on the
high seas. The fact is that both the
Cleveland and Mckinley adminiStra-
tions have proved more friendly TO
Spain and less active for Cuba than the
majority of this country desired. And
another fact is that should the inSurg
ents hold their own a few months long
er the demand for the government 10 do
will be overwhelming.
