CHAPTER Iu.-(CoyrISUEp.)

ShaE
The day following there was sim
pie funeral, in a solitary burial-place
seldom used, and lying within short
distance of the spot where the body
was found. Mr.. Lorraine betrayed the
expenses out of his own pocket, saw
that everything was decently, though
simply arranged, and himself read the
beautiful burial service over the coffin.
He had now no doubt in his mind that
the drowned woman was the mother of
the infant left under his care, and that
by destroying herself she had simply
carried out her desperate determine
ton.
All attempts to identify her. how
ever, continued without avail. In
quiries were made on every side, ad-
vertisements inserted in the local
newspapers, without the slightest re-
suit: no one came forward to give any
information. But by this time the
minister's mind was quite made up
He would keep the child. and, with
Gods blessing, rear her as his own:
he would justify the unhappy mothers
dependence on his charity and loving
kindness.
So it came to pass that late in the
cleaning of the old bachelors life the
cry of a child was heard In the lonely
house: and somehow or other, despite
Solomon Mucklebackit's prognostica-
tions, the house became brighter and
merrier for the sound Solomon him
self soon fell under the spell, and when
little warm with whisky he would al
Jude to the child, with a comic sense
OF possession, as 'oor BARN"
At last, one day, there was a quiet
christening in the old kirk, where Mr..
Lorraine had officiated so many years.
Mysie held the infant in her arms,
while Solomon stood at hand, blinking
through his horn spectac!es, and the
minister performed the simple cere-
mony.
After long and tender deliberation
the minister had fixed upon a name,
which he now gave to the poor little
castaway, who had neither father nor
mother, nor any Nnsfolk in the world
after whom she could be called.
He christened her Marjorie Amman.
Marjorie, after that other beloved
Marjorie, who had long before joined
or so he dreamed-the bright celes-
tial band; Amman, after that troubled
water wherein the miserable mother
had plunged and died.

Dumfries. Her dress was prettily if
not over-fashionably cut, a straw hat
shaded her bright blue eyes. and her
boots and gloves were those of a lady
Under her arm she carried several

senior.
From time to time as she tripped
along with her companion she had to
stop and exchange words with passers-
by who greeted her by name; and from
many Of the shop doors and windows
friendly heads nodded and bright
faces beamed. 1t was clear that she
was well known in the little town. and
a general favorite. Indeed, there were
few of the residents within a radius
of ten miles round Dumfries who did
not know something of Majorie An
nan, the foster-child and adopted
daughter OF Mr. Lorraine.
f1eT companion, JOnu sutherland,
was fair complexioned and very pale.
He was plainly clad in a suit of dark
tweed and wore a wide-awake hat.
His whole aspect betokened delicate
health, and there was sad light in his
blue eyes which told of a thoughtful
spirit lodging within. His manners
were gentle and retiring in the ex-
treme.
when did you come back?" Mar
jorie had asked after some previous
conversation.
Last night, by the express from
London" answered the young man.
I'm going down to see the old folk
tonight. Shall you be at the manse?"
Marjorie nodded, smiling gayly

demanded. ''Did you see the queen?

Pleasures on the Farm.

Pleasures on the Farm.
Oh, it's royal fun to frolic
On the fragrant. new-mown hay.
To roll and romp and tumble.
And to while the time away:
What JOY to lie and slumber.
Innocent of worldly care,
On the clover in the haymow,
When some others put it there.
What JOY, when one Is thirsty.
Ere as yet tbs time to sup,
To consume the sweet ambrosia
That the cows have yielded up
To drink out Of the milkpail,
While you poise 1t in the air
When some other has extracted
The rich fluid that is there.
What Joy it Is, in summer,
To be free upon the farm;
All, the very air seems freighted
With a mystic sort OF charm;
Round and over all a dreamy,
Peaceful spirit seems to Turk
That is, II you do the dreaming.
While some others do the work.

and knives and tried to kill him. The
witness left the deputies, rushed to the
shcriff's rescue and tried to stop the
strikers, but his gun would not work.
The balance of the strikers rushed to-
wards the deputies. While the witness
tried to rescue the sheriff he heard a
shot and then came the volley. There
was no shooting after the vOlley and

were shot while on company property.

of his ancestors, the Pardees, by tell
ing how his great grandfather fought

THE COTTAGE BY THE LAKE

Meath a locust tree close nesting,
In a rural spot thrice fair;
Is a home, the muse is courtlng,
And its virtues, hosts declare;
Call II not a pretty mansion,
None would such an error make;
Ancient and without pretension
Is the cottage by the lake.
From the feVered city fastening,
See the wheelman on his steed;
For his destination bending,
Pressing on with wond'rOus speed:
Wearied, on his arid journey
Rests, his burning thirst TO slake;
Royal kindness greets him promptly,
In the cottage by the lake,
As the shelt'ring locust's blossoms.
Fragrant white meath summers sun;
So pure thoughts bloom in each BOSOM
Heavens great bliss on earth begun;
Distant from the world of slander,
And unknown to fraud and fake
Castle to all truth and honor,
Is the cottage by the lake.
Passing years have brought unbroken
Keen afiliction to the sire:
Golden health her wings has taken
Feeble, low the vital fire;
There's no foolish murmuring usage,
OF contentment all partake;
| There is buoyant faith-there's courage
In the cottage by the lake.
Morn and eve there's heard "devotions." :"
All their Bibles soon pursue;
| Then hymn, with voice and organ,
Some old hymn, or some one new;
Parents and their growing glories
Kneel, by turn prayer To make;
| And transformed to real temple
Is the palace by the lake.
| What is life without true friendship,
| And the love of friends indeed;
/ Lighter much the loads OF hardship
With loves smiles, more brisk the
speed:
| Many friends OF blest ambition,
Oft their welcome visits make;
| And they leave their benediction,
In the cottage by the lake.
| Long ago the blessed Master
! Loved the lake of Galilee:
| Banished there the pangs of hunger,
| Heralded true liberty;
| He is still abroad with blessing,
His own poor. He'll ne'er forsake;
This Is why there's such a blessing,
In the cottage by the lake.

New York, March 2.-The net result of
today's trading in stocks is the practical
wiping out of yesterdays gain in prices.
This was done on "A diminished volume of
business. The decline was not accompa-
MED by any development of general con-
ditions which could account for II and
there as no reflection of any news of the
day in the movement, unless in the
slightly increased selling movement in
the final hour. This was started on ru-
mors attaching importance to the send
ing of two warshlps to Cuban waters
with provisions for the reconcentradocs.
But todays decline for the most part
was technical and marked the elimination
of the recovery from last weeks sharp
fall. The total sales were 39S, 600 shares.
