lay its silvery light on the fragrant
garden into which they came. Slowly
they wandered on amongst the sweet
flowers on to the bank of the flowing
river. The lights of the house waned
as the distance grew; the music came
fainter and sweeter. Very slowly they

as though loath to go.
At the river bank shell-like boat
was moored amid the reeds and water
lilies. He helped her gently to its
cushioned seat. He loosed the moor
ings and stepped in beside her The
boat drifted slowly through the tangled
stems and flowers into the silent river.
Side by side they half reclined pill
lowed by the cushions of theiF fairy
craft. The lilies all were punched upon
her breast. They bent and breathed
their tropic fragrance-so sweet. SD
rich, A dreamy stupor stole the senses
of the two. They vaguely felt the on
ward gliding of the boat; vaguely
heard the murmur of the distant sea:
vaguely knew that on them lay the
moonlight, cold and pure
Fainter 10 their nostrils rose the odor
of the lilies. Fainter in their ears rang
the music OF the sea Fainter. ever
fainter, breathed their parted lips
Yet even in their latest dream they
knew they rested heart to heart
The moon sank low. Its weird light
waned. The gloom of night wrapped
all in mystic veil. And in the falling
shadow silently faded the boat. The
river bore it on. out to the sounding
sea. ALIEN.

He opened the door and motiOned
Doris to go. He bowed low as she
passed.
How long was she lost in the may
fantasma of the dance? She could not
have told Doris loved to dance. And
tonight all was 50 beautiful: the silver
lights. the fiuttering silken dresses and
flashing white shoulders. the sweet.
sweet music-aii so beautiful Doris
had fioated in a dreamy splendor. for
getting all Now she rested on a
screened settee. Her face was bright,
with the inner rouge; her eyes had lost
all their pain: her smile was happy
and gay.
On the outer side of the screen a wo-
man was sitting alone. Doris watched
her curiously from her concealment.
Why will women try to seem young
when they are so old?" she thought.
She must be at least forty. And so
much paint and powder and falseness,
Ugh
A man stepped up to the woman
His head was bald save for a priest
like fringe of gray hair. His bristling
moustache defied all waxing.
May rest with you?" he asked.
She pouted grotesquely. Il hoped
you would ask me to dance" she said
Il have danced myself out for the
present. You see, we are not so young
as we once WERE" he returned with a
malicious grimace. Then he added:
But J do believe there was more in
that last dance than mere fatigue Of
age. 1t has supplied me. | danced

The color faded from Doris face. She
remembered.
Did you notice how she dressed
and what strange lilies" the woman
asked.
But you should smell them. Their
oder But look, There comes
Paul Lands wearing one of the same
kind Is it not strange"
Very strange" she returned with
significant raise of the eyebrows. So
Paul Lands and Madame Doris wear
the same flower. But how pale he is
Doris had started when the name
was mentioned. She saw coming
straight toward the screen tall,
young man whose curly yellow hair
hung disordered over his pale brow.
AS he passed beneath chandelier she
saw in the center of his white shirt
bosom a glitter of red as from ruby
stud. He came directly behind the
screen and stopped before her. Doris
half rose The man and woman on the
other side turned quickly.
Come. let us dance" said the man,
as they hastily rose TO leave.
Doris looked up into the white face
before her. Then her eye once more
fell upon the tiny red spot on his shirt
bosom. Her breath came quick.
He is
Dead"
They gazed into each others eyes
Doris laid her trembling fingers on the
lilies over her heart. Through CULVER
ing lips she asked:

electric bell.
Doris turned half round. dropping
the clasp still unfastened. The wind
ing bracelet of strung pearls writhed
slowly from her slender wrist. A
tremulous. uncertain flush rested on
her cheek. Her lips were parted by
the nervous breath. and her bare white
shoulders seemed all a-tremble. The
lace of her black siikan gown futtered
family over her heart. She stood lean
ing a little forward. her hand little
raised, her eager. fearful eyes gazing
toward the door.
A maid entered. holding in her hand
white box.
For madame" she said. peering cur
iously at her mistress through her
dropping lashes.
There" said Doris, pointing 10
couch by the lace-veiled window.
The maid placed the box where bid
den and Doris waved her out. She
went slowly. still peering cur;ously
at her mistress.
Doris sat down upon the couch be-
side the box Twice she touched II
with trembling fingers. A third time
she laid aside the lid and parted an
inner covering of gauzy papers. Four
white lilies lay within. She held one
unstradily to the light. II was white.
pure white. but now the rays of the
setting sun streaming through showed
it notified with pale leprous splotches,
white. too, but with the whiteneSs OF
death.
She sank low in the cushions OF the
couch. and there lay while the dusk
deepened into night.
When she arose, at last, her face was
the hue of her lilies. But she was quite
calm and steady now. And on her lips
hung quivering smile
She paused before her glass and in
her hair fastened one Of the white
lilies and on her bosom three. Around
her wrist once more she wound the
bracelet of strung pearls. Ii was all
the jewel she wore.
In quaint cosmetic cups she dipped
the freathery brush and lightly flushed
her pallid cheeks and touched her
ashen lips with rouge. Doris was a
dainty artist. None would know her
painting to be other than natures own.
She went below.
In the drawing room a blark-eyed
man slipped red wine He smiled-Or
was it a smile?-when she entered.
"Ah. Madame would attend the ball.
En-"
Doris was silent.
Come! Madame would dance.
Come, Madame shall dance. She
shall dance with the devil Ha,'
He rang the bell sharply and the
maid entered.
You shall play the waltz. Mademois-
ellie Nannette," he said to her, the
quick waltz. Madame would dance.
She shall dance"'
The girl went to the pianO-fOrte and
started a wild waltz, her dark eyes
flashing first light of triumph at her
mistress.
The man seized Doris and dragged
her into the waltz. She did not resist,
scarce seemed to notice. though it was
of a truth a devils dance. Her partner
pressed her close. He thrust his dark
face full to hers. To his nostrils rose
the perfume of the lilies.

In many parts of "the land of
the free and the home of the
brave" at this time of the year
building operations are suspend
ed, and every man has his eye
on the coal dealer while watch
ing the water pipes showing
tendency to freeze up. In Homo
lulu where spring is four sea-
sons in the year, carpenters may
work inside or out.
The unusual operations of the
past year have had depressing
effect upon edge tools, for like
everything else-they give way
with too constant use We have,
in view Of the prospective de-
mand, made a big buy of the
finest grade of tools obtainable
in eastern markets; they are
what carpenters and machinists
need all the time and when buy
ing the best they get that which
lasts longest and obviate the
necessity of "breaking in"
We have the Millers Falls
Company ratchet brace, with
drill attachment. The Elkin's
saw file. Bailey's adjustable
blade, wood and iron base planes,
Steel tape measures, guaranteed
to be accurate. Two-foot rules

and unbiased consideration of he

knowing the authors of the gallant
600 suggestions, The committee con-
Guided that tho gentleman to whom
merit decreed he should possess the
prize lot should be genial James G.
Spencer, who distanced all competi-
tors by his witty nominal ion.And now
for the name and its meaning; "Cyc-
lomer." 1t is pre- sumed to be deriv-
ed thusly: Cyclo-cicle bicycle; mer
French for sea. lake so you see, it is
the cycle sea or lake; the lake for
the sake OF euphony being turned
into the ocean, in much the same
way as the oligarchy OF Hawaii be-
comes for the sake OF annexation q
greater and purer republic than
Uncle Sans. 1t must not be pro-
nonounced "Kicklumer," with the
81" and 80" short, nor "Kyklomer"
with the 81" and 30" long, nor must
it be YEARLY drawn through as is
"sigh.c u u NJ m are" but it must be
deity whispered with a sweet cad
ence Of despair, "see-clom-air."
About this time all have cought the
beautiful latin twang, and for a
wonder we have a novelty in tho
name without Desky.ville, Bruce
town or Waringburgb Who enters
now for the Island name and the
S25. Well start it with "l'isle du

But after all we are wrong, for
Mr.. Spencer has selected really a
charming name for it, and that is
"cyclomere." lie has taken the
good old fashioned English word
"mere," lake, from the Northern
English lakes, and given an euphon-
ious name with an appropriate mean

we'll change our name for the lake

A Narrow Escape
canoe.

AS one of our magnificent palatial
and crowded tramcars was vending
its way into town early this morning,
and as it passed Kekaulke Street,
near King Street bridge, it was gree-
ted with a knock on the roof from
one Of the heavy poles used as a
stay for raising the new telephone
poles. The conclusion was shock
ing, and the nerves of the passen-
gers were shaken, but fortunately no
very serious results followed the
striking mishap.

Nearly Gobbled Up.

A native fishing in the vicinity of
the quarantine wharf had very
narrow escape from man eating
shark the other day. The water
was up to his neck and he saw a
shark close to him. He had just
time to jump into his canoe as the
shark passed under it. He got over
his scare as he rapidly got into shoal
water. He thinks the shark was
