back even now, and returns hurriedly ia
the carriage. There il another delay, al
| which Hester grows somewhat impatient,
| and draws herself up imperiously az the
thought crosses her mind that this is sure
ly some of Muriers friends-her visitors
| come at proper hours, and enter in a pro-
per manner.
The door opens, and Hester simultune-
ously touches the four wax candles at
each side of the over-mantel with lighted
| taper. and they blaze up brightly. She
does so purposely to startle the intruding
visitor entering unannounced, and is a
little disappointed on confronting the per-
son to be dismayed to discover that it is
Mr.. Farren, the solicitor. who enters hur-
riedly, but, as Hester is pleased to OBJ
serve, draws back startled ut meeting tho
chilling glance of surprise from her bright,
steadfast eyes, and the blaze of the wax
lights in the room.
1t is no harm that he should learn her
true position at once as we'll as others,
Miss Stapleton says mentally, drawing
herself up and spanning her plump round
waist with her white fingers daintily, as
she sees MIR. Farren draw back hastily
with a suppressed exclamation, as if ad-
out of the room-some one whose dark,
pale face and brilliant eyes look over Mr..
Farren's head and who pushes past him
with quick, imperious gesture, strides
across the room and up to Hester with
outstretched hands before she can believe
her terrified senses.
"Hettie-Hettie, dear!-cousin! Don't
you know me?" he says, hoarsely as Hes
ter fairly shrieks and shrinks back against
the wall, from the touch Of the strong,
shapely, sun-browned hands, which she
knows as we'll as she does the quaint
cameo ring on one of the fingers.
II might just as we'll have stayed in
London" mutters Mr.. Farren. struggling
his shoulders. II thought l came to
break the news""
He shrugged his shoulders again and
grins a little as he discreetly leaves the
room; for Hester. recovering from her
momentary terror, has rushed into the op-
posite extreme and has flung herself into
the strange visitors arms with hysterical
weeping and gladness and passionate
kisses and embraces.
Eric, darling! Eric, darling"' she cries,
wildly, ''it can never be you-come back
to ME from the dead! Oh. Eric, darling.
we have broken our hearts grieving! Oh,
Eric, dearest, it can't be you! 1t is too
good to be true!'
II don't know whether shall pronounce
Colonel Llewellyn a lucky man or the re-
verse;" mutters Mr.. Farren to himself in
the hall. but he certainly seems to have
several pairs of loving arms to enfold him,
and several pairs of tender lips to kiss
him! Wonder if the respective owners Of
the loving arms and lips all agree together
nicely?"

A torn-out, WORKOUT buttonhole,
Both now and by-and-by;
From rotten string, or shoe-lace weak,
Collars that button hard.
Neckties that turn ''hindside before
Without the least regard,
Good Lord, deliver US
From a shiftless, thriftless wife,
A mother who doesn't care

Or rarely combs her hair;
From husband who doesn't see or know
How dirt tracks up the floor,
A father who thinks it foo,ishness
For the little ones to snore,
Good Lord, deliver us.
From lazy man, n needless woman,
A thoughtless boy or girl,
Who turn the world half upside down
With whirr. a whsk, a whirl;
From such as these and many more,
AS we go on our way,
That we may graciously be free
Forever, LET Us Pray
Good Lord, deliver us.

The River Thames.

II the plans now under way are car
rled out as anticipated, the great work
Of widening and deepening the River
Thames will before long be an accom-
plished fact, and the commercial i'm
portance of that river thereby greatly
increased. 1t being clear TO the authori-
ties, on extended examination and con-
sultation with engineering experts. that
q twenty-six foot channel was required
for at least nine-tenths Of the shipping,
1t was decided that the work should be
prosecuted. to be done solely by dredg-
ing. According to this plan, there will
be from Gravesend up the river as far
as Crawford Ness, opposite Harfeet. q
channel width Of 1000 feet and a mini
mum depth of twenty-four feet at low
water, spring tide, while from Crawford
Ness to the Albert docks the width Is to
be 500 feet and the depth twenty-five,
and from the latter to the Millwall
Docks there will be a channel at least
800 feet wide and eighteen feet deep.

Some Italian Dishes.

In that blessed future, the Italian
cook. trust, will be content with the
natural color of rice. At present he
likes to make his risotto a bright Or
ange chrome, and to drown it in olive
oil. My raptures over the olive groves
of the Riviera faded when understood
the JUNCTION of the Italian chef. The
food in some places Is incredible. Mac
aroni and the endless tape which is
called spaghetti" you can tolerate,
but beware Of ZampOne! An ill-starred
curiosity prompted me to order this
dish, which proved to be huge slices Of
sausage-terribly potent sausage
drenched in liquid which made cas-
tor oil a delicacy by comparison! The
homeless London cat would have fed
from such fare! Perhaps it is this
sausage which endears Northern Italy
to the average German tourist. l see
him eating it with relish, while spec
tacled nose hoyers close to the plate,
revealing in the odor, which reminds
him, no doubt, of his home in the faith
erland. Now and then he lifts his
head; his right hand wanders to his
brow, carrying knife; his eyes roll
upward. Probably he is registering a
VOW to do all that lies in his individual
genius to sustain this great bond of
highly favored sausage between Ger.

The Six Days Bicycle Races.

The six days bicycle races which
have become features of recent exhi-
billions are reprehensible in every sense
of the word. The severe strain has in
nearly every case resulted in fatal in
juries to the contestants. Joseph JEFF
ferson, commenting recently on undue
athletic training, said that some years
ago he met Laurence Barrett on q
street corner in Boston, and Barrett
said he was waiting for street-car to
take him to a gymnasium. why not
walk?' asked Jefferson; that Is better
exercise than you will get at the gym
naslum. and it will save you the trou-
