CHAPTER XXI.

She locked the door of her bedchamber
and threw off her walking dress; light rs il
was, Size felt as II IL would stifie her. Even
the ribbon round her neck was more than
she could endure and breathe freely. Her
oyerburdened heart found no relief in tears.
In the solitude of her room she thought OF
the future. The dreary f0reboding OF what
it might be filled her with a superstitious
dread from which she recoiled. One of the
windows was open already; she threw up
the other TO get more air. In the cooler at
mosphere her memory recovered itself; she
reooii.ci-d the newspaper that Herbert had
taken from her. Instantly she rang for the
maid. ASK the first waiter you see down
stairs tor to-day's newspaper; any one will
do, so long as l don't wait for it." The re-
port OF the divorce-she was in a frenzy OF
impotence now to read what he had read
the report of the divorce.
When her wish had been gratified. when
she had read 1t from beginning TO end, one
vivid impression only was left on her mind.
She could think of nothing but what the
judge had said In speaking OF Mrs. Linley.
Aeruel reproof-and, worse than cruel, a
public reproof-administered to the generous
friend, the true wife, the devoted mother;
and for what? For having been too ready
to forgive the wretch who had taken her
husband from her, and had repaid a hundred
acts OF kindness by objectionable ingrati'
tude.
She fell on her knees; she tried wildly Ia
pray for inspiration that should tell her what
to do. "Oh, God, how can / give that wo
man back the happiness of which | have rob.
bed her?'
The composing influence OF prayer on q
troubled mind was something that she ex'
perienced now. An o~verpowering i.1pa-
tience to make the speediest and completes
atonement possessed her. Must she walt till
Herbert Linley no longer concealed that he
was weary OF her, and cast her or? No! II
should be her own act that parted them, and
that did it at once. She threw open the door
and hurried half way down the stairs before
she remembered the one terrible obstacle in
her way--the divorce.
Slowly and sadly she submitted and wen,
back to her room.
There was no Disgusting 1t; the two who
had once been husband and wife were part

She paused, thinking OF the marriage thai
was now a marriage no more. The toIleI
table was close to her; she looked abscntly

line. Then there are the tramp steam

other ports than New York TO be con-
sidered. l should say that $50, 100000
would be a very moderate estimate Of
the total amount of money paid TO
Americans by transatlantic steamship
owners every year. This money BEN
efits everybody. There is no class OF
persons IN the whole United States that

vast expenditure. The fruit growers Of

everyone who has anything TO sell is
either directly or indirectly augmented
by the vast expenditures Of the steam
ship companies whose boats ply tho
deep blue Atlantic"
With reference TO this, apropos OF the
cry sometimes raised I'm the newspapers
against the expenditure Of money abroad
by American tourists, the steamship
man said:
III you add to the money expended
by us for American products the money
brought into the country by emigrants.
and set this against the money expended
by American tourists abroad. / am sure
you will find the balance TO be in Amer
icas favor. know it Is sometimes said
that American tourists annually spend
at least $1Q0 100000 in Europe, but this
Is by far too much. According TO the
most careful computation the amount
cannot be more than 5000. goo. and this
sum is only S5.0OO0OO more than tho
amount we have figured cut as being
paid directly to Americans by the steam
ship companies"

pends in the United States more than

Yes. IL is true. perhaps that some OF the

from Europe; but they amount to only
n little. for most Of the supplies we use

The British Sovereign. who lately
celebrated with such eciat the compile
ton of the sixtieth year Of her reign
has herself already enjoyed more
than the allotted span Of human
life; but it Is most interesting TO md
among her subjects a man still per-
feet in memory and in fun possession
OF his mental powers who was nifty
four years of age when Queen Victoria
assembled the throne. Such a person IS
old Daddy Hall, who lives 10 his little
cabin In the Driving Park at owen
Sound, Canada.
Daddy Hall was born I'm The year iiS3.
He is a half-b Indian ard negro
and in his youth lived with the Indians
on Waipole Island and the adjoining
mainland. Although he most rcsem-
bles the negro in features and hair, he
Is . thorough Indian i'm his habits and
was known by the Indians Of his tribe
as "sho -ho- no -hoEe" or big Smoke"
About the year 1900. the Canadian
government, requiring an interpreter
for the farm instructor Of che Indians
ON the Credit Reserve. appointed young
Hall to that position. Accordingly he
moved East with his squaw and re-
mained i'm the Government service until
the war OF 1872. when he was engaged
as a scout-doing good service until
early in 1915. when he was captured by
the American soldiers and taken pris-
oner TO Fort Meggs. from which ne
was released only when hostilities
ceased.
After the close OF the war he made
his way 20 Toronto. squatting on the
lake front near the Humber River.
