TO take effect Sept. l. but doubtless will
be rescinded long before then. Commits

stead of making a saving of consider
ably over 100000 in the way of clerk

Alice said suavely. But Mr.. Topmark
was striding away without so much as
good night.
Rob hardly spoke throughout the
three Tile drive to Roscoe. When they
had got half way from the outer gate
to the house. she laid timid hand on
Jacks arm, saying softly:
''Stop here please. don't ask what
You are thinking of me, Jack. am too
sure you have not got out Of your habit
Of helping people who cannot help them

scheme. When may come, dearest? Do,

Rob shivered in spite Of the warm,
dry summer air. She had let her hand
lie passive in his grasp Now she drew
it away and said very low:
| "You must never say such things
any more, Jack. We-we-belong Il
our fathers and mothers. -
Then in voice wholly changed she
unfolded his duty. He must drive on tC
the bridge, get his mysterious passenger
and carry him due west as far and fas
as Timothy and Glover could safely &c
before daylight. When it was ended
she said imperatively:
''Put me down here. No, there i!

A reminiscent article on Jenny Lind and
her home life has been prepared by her
daughter, Mrs. Raymond Maude, for publ
cation in the May Ladies' Home Journal.
1t is said to be filled with interesting memo
ries OF the famous singer, and is noteworthy
also as being the first view we have of her
through the eyes of her adoring daughter.
Mrs. Maude brings to light the fact that
Jenny Lind was always nervous and over
strung before events-just before singing in
new opera or oratorio, but was quite calm
when the very moment Of action arrived.
