Under DR.. Bakers somewhat primi-

at the end of week, at Mrs. Lorimer's

placed it with a new one. took the train

imbecile besides. In this condition he
had passed % long years-years of

to have been in the following story:

In the village of Banbury, at the open

merchant, John Lorimer. He had not
been married long when the call for
9O-day volunteers came, and for this and
other reasons he did not feel it incum-
bent upon hin, to respond to the call.
But when it was seen that the civil war
was assuming alarming proportions,
and Father Abraham" called for
"30O, 900 more" then John Lorimer saw
but one thing to do. He sold out his
business, and. turning the proceeds of
the sale and all his other property over

his mind, until, glancing up. he caught
the CLEAN of a white dress at the gate
of the Armstrong home-then the lag
ging steps grew brisk, and the melan-
choly face was frightened by smile of
pleasant anticipation.
1t was lovely evening in the latter
part of May, and all nature seemed to
be rejoicing in the fullness of the ripe
springtime. 1t seemed time for glad
ness and naught else, at least to those
to whom sorrow was unknown. But in

sitting in an armchair with an old,
faded photograph in her thin, shaking
hands, was sobbing as though her heart
would break. The picture was that of

of a lieutenant of artillery, and was
sadly blurred with the unavailing tears
that had fallen upon it.

Mgr. Janssens was one of the digni,aries

Ensign Stone. as was expected, exonerating
him from the charges preferred against
him and removing all restrictions that had
teen placed upon his movements in conse-
quence thereof. The position of the de-
partment in the matter is defined in letters
written by the Secretary to the three par
ties In interest, to wit: Ensigns Stone and
Osborne and Mr.. Swits Conde In them il
is shown that the naval investigation was
based on a telegram from Mr. Conde to the
department. as follows:
"Ensigns Stone and Osborne and confed-
crates. probably naval officers, using as
sumed names and attempting to enter my
residence. under various pretexts, causing
scandalous newspaper articles and great
personal annoyance, l respectfully ask
immediate action and further investiga-
tlop by your department"
Having considered all the facts in the

sign q. l.. p. Stone made no attempt to
enter your residence; that Ensign R. H.
Osporne, In entering your residence, was
culpable only in SO far that he used an

to blame for the scandalous newspaper ar
