came she took the little one, dressed in
her pretty white frock; and as they sat
In the drawing room, the doctor was
brought home to his house-lead.
1t was such u simple yet terrible acci-
dent that had killed him. A poor man
had been injured by q kick from a horse.
For want Of better accommodation, he
had been carried up into a loft over a
stable, where the doctor attended him.
In thel loft was m open trap door, through
which trusses of hay and straw were rails
ed and lowered. No one warned DIR. Let
som about 1t. The aperture was covered
with straw. and he, walking quickly
across, fell through. There was but one
comfort-he did not suffer long.
Margaret Dornham and the little child
sat waiting for him when the sad pro-
cession stopped ut the door.
"The doctor is dead" was the cry from
one to another.
A terrible pain shot through Margaret's
head. Dead! The kindly man, who had
been her only friend, dend! Then per-
haps the child would be taken from her,
mud she should see it no more!
An impulse, for which she could hardly
account, and for which she was hardly re-
sp%onsible, seized her. She must have the
box that contained the papers, lest, find
ing the papers, people should rob her of
the child. Quick as thought, she seized
the boX-which always stood on Il bracket
in the drawing room-and hid it under
her shawl. To the end of her life she
was puzzled as to why she had done this.
It would not be missed, she knew, in the
confusion that was likely to ensuc. She
felt sure, also, that no one, save herself
and the child's father, knew Of it's con.
tents.
She did not wait long in that scene of
confusion and sorrow. Clasping the child
in her arms, lest she should see the dead
face, Margaret Dornham hurried back to
the cottage, bearing with her the proofs
Of the child's identity.
The doctor vas buried, and with him
all trace of the child seemed lost. Care.
full search was made in his house for any
letters that might concern her, that might
give her fathers address; but Stepher
Letsom had been faithful to his promise
he had kept the secret. There was moth,
ing that could give the least clew. There
were no letters, no memoranda; and, af
ter a time, people came to the conclusion
that 1t would be better to let the child re
main where she was, for her father would
be sure in time to hear Of the doctor.
death and to claim her.
So September came, with its glory o
autumn leaves. Just three years ha,
elapsed since Lady Charlewood had died
and then the great trouble of her lf
came to Margaret Dornham.

DR.. Letsom had prospered; one CLEAN
Of good fortune had brought with it a
sudden outburst of sunshine. The doctor
had left his little house i'll Castle street,
and had taken Il pretty villa just outside
Castledene. He bore his good fortune as
he had borne his ill fortune, with great
equanimity; it had come too late. The
grentest happiness he had now in life was
his love for little Madaline. Besides his
great love for the little Madeline, he be-

patience. for she never conplained-in
her sublime heroism, for she bore all as a
martyr.
So the two years and Il half passed, and
the child, with her delicate, marvellous
grace. had become the very light of those
two lonely lives. In another six months
they would have to lose her. DIR. Letsom
knew very well that il the earl were still
living at the end of the three years his
son would tell him of his marriage.
On a bright, sunshiny day in June the
doctor walked over to Ashwood. He had
q little packet Of fruit and cakes with
him, and a wonderful doll, dressed most
royalty.
"Madalinc," he cried. as he entered the
cottage. and she came running to him.

She promised-for Il drive with the doc

PALESTINE AND THE JEWS.
Why the Modern Hebrew Is Rarely
Farmer.

Why n Modern Hebrew Is Rarely q
Farmer.
Palestine is at present, as Matthew
Arnold has said, n land s'of sun, and
arid stone. and crumbling wall, and
sultry sand" but there is no reason to
doubt that culture and irrigation would
restore its fertility, and that 1T might
once again overflow with milk and
honey If only the means were secured
whereby the work Of reclamation could
be begun on Il large scale, says the
Spectator. The German colonies there
have done we'll, and there are few parts
of the land that would not yield wealth.
1t has been objected that the modern
Jew is rarely a farmer; that he prefers
to work with his brains, to turn money
over, to engage in speculative occupa-
lions, rather than to work with his
hands. The fact is true in the main,
but it is capable of explanation through
historic causes. 1t is almost certain
that we owe agriculture to the Semites
and it is certain that the Jews We're in
ancient times an agricultural people.
Their exclusion from so many arts in
western Europe, their confinement for
centuries to a few callings and to mar
row areas, will sufficiently account for
their present speculative and somewhat
mercenary instincts.
1t would be n distinct gain to them,
morally and socially, could a goodly
proportion of their race be induced to
resume, under happy conditions, those
healthy and primary arts of life in
which they engaged before the over
flow of their ancient commonwealth.
One more land reclaimed from Turkish
poverty and desolation would be a gain
for the Jews and for the entire world.
It is certain that the Turk will do moth
ing with Palestine; 1t seems equally
certain that European rivalries will
prevent any one European country
from c%olonizing it; why may o the
true solution be found in Jewish colo.
nization? The idea is attractive and It
seems feasible.
