This is Memorial day. Not since
the first observance of this solemn
occasion have such tender feelings
attended its commemoration as do
today. The sacred thoughts which
enter into the emotions of those who
truly weep, and occupy the patriotic
mind of the nation TODAY. are not
only Of the past, but of the present.
1t has been beautifully said in con-
templating the teachings of the Mem
orial day that 1.-The past rises before
us like dream. On this day
there is significance of reality in
the present that awakens our best i'm
pulses. The sons of the fathers of
81. the kin. in many instances, of
those who blcd for the perpetuation
of the unions most just cause are
now at the front. and for them a ma
tons anxious heart throbs and ma
tons prayers are offered. Within Il
week one of these brave boys. whose
life was his Offering in response to his
country's call, has been brought home
and laid tenderly to rest with the 9TH
ers who sleep with Il nations honors
blest. So that while we pay tribute
today to those who have given up all
that was dear in life that people
might continue to enjoy the blessings
Of liberty, we may breathe a prayer
for the soldiers who are away
from us dedicated to the extension OF
that holy principle of human free.

never interfered in the least with any
of her affairs. He sent up her letters
unopened, and never even inquired
from whom they caTse. He sent every
aorning to ask if she had any par
ticular wish for the day-if there was
any place she desired to see. At first
she said YES" and went to the diff
ferent places of note. He accompa-
MED her, but she could not avoid
thinking that he was slightly bored
by these excursions. The next time he
sent she declined, and he did not re-
monstrate; he made no remark, and
she felt almost sure that he was re-
lieved by her refusal. When they went
to the opera, they were never alone
he always secured some companion.
1t seemed to le.ldred that he was quite
as much stranger as on the first day
he entered the Hollies.
"Shall l ever be part of his life?"
she thought. Shall grow to be heart
of his heart, soul of his soul? Shall I
ever know what he thinks, what he
likes, what he loves?"
She had indeed no part of his ex-
istence-he lived as though she were
not He had fulfilled his part of the
contract by giving her his name, his
rank, his position. That a living,
beating human heart might long for
more than that did not occur to him.
He never thought of her as his wife
the chances were that, IL any one had
asked him suddenly IL he was mar
ried, he would have said No" He
had paid the forfeit of his folly by
being in some measure compelled to
burden himself with this young girl.
One evening he was rather startled
singer at the opera, and they went to
hear her. She was very fair, and the
gentlemen were busily engaged in dis
cussing her. With Lord and Lady
Caraven was a Frenchman, the Comte
de Quesne, great admirer of fair
women. The conversation, kept up
chiefly between the two gentlemen,
was about the charming actress.
''She is of the real English type"
said the comte, -" and the English la
dies are so fair-they are adorablew
IL think myself" remarked the
earl. that fair-haired English girl
is certainly the lovoliest object In Gre

he said; "the train will not start for

They went into the refreshment-
room, where he ordered soup ana
wine. He was solicitous for her COM
fort, he was attentive to her wants,
but she noticed that he spoke to her
only when civility dictated that he
should speak, and that when he did
address her he never looked at her.
He took his seat by her side in the
railway carriage. They travelled
through the fresh dewy night, the
pleasant air coming in at the open
windows He had carefully provided
her with books and newspapers-the
railway literature.
1T is quite evident" she thought,
that he intends me to read-he has
no desire to talk 10 me-"
She was obliged continually to re-
mind herself that he had asked her to
be his wife. He must have cared for
her or he would not have married her.
He was not demonstrative man, per-
haps. Then she turned slowly from
the sky to the handsome, high-bred
face near her. He was reading intent
ly, never looking up from his book.
1t was not the face of a cold-hearted
cynic-far from it. Then her eyes
wandered slowly away again.
The lovely dawn was flushing in the
skies, the birds were singing, the air
seemed to stir with new life-it was
the dawn of another day. How often
would the sun rise and set before she
would understand this strange silence
OF the husband by her side-how many
weary dawns would there be?

CLIMATE OF IsELANp.
Not So Forbidding as 1t Would Seem

(To be continued.)

Not So Forbidding as 1t Would Seem
to Re.
Iceland is not by any means so for
bidding country as its name implies;
it is no more land of ice than Green
land is land of verGure, says an ex-
change. 1t is not nearly so cold as
many places in the United States, not
to mention the Canadian dominion.
The so and 60 degrees below zero reg
istered every winter in the Northwest
territory and Assiniboia, and even the
80 and 40 below experienced in Mon
tana and North Dakota, are unheard
OF in Iceland. Neither is the other ex-
treme of great heat felt, such as these
very regions in North America en-
dure. No Icelander knows what a
temperature of 100 in the shade is.
There are no sudden fluctuations or
great changes; the climate is remark
ably equable. A variation of 80 de-
grees in a month is probably not on
record In the island. The equableness
is due, of course, to the same cause
that produces a similar effect in the
British isles-the gulf stream. This
great ocean current washes the south
ern and western shores of Iceland, in
surfing a mild winter and balmy sum-
mer. There are glaciers, but they
form no icebergs. The sea around the
island is never frozen, nor, indeed, is
any floating ice seen save on rare oc-
casions off the northern coast. Now
and then in summer prolonged storms
will carry floating ice across from the
Greenland coast and drive 1t upon the
northern shore of Iceland, together
with cold fog and rain. In this way
polar bears are also sometimes landed
on the island. On the other hand, the
winters are so mild that thunder
storms often occur. In fact. most of
the thunder storms in Iceland are in
the winter months.

girl-wife with the dark eyes and the
Spanish face. He would not have
wantonly panied her, but he had for
gotten her presence. She heard the
words. At the time she made no re-
mark, although they burned into her
heart like fire.
The comte went home with them,
and they were joined by another
friend; but she found an opportunity
OF speaking to her husband when the
other gentlemen were busy n ecarte,
and Lord Caraven had withdrawn TO
look over some letters that had just
arrived. She summoned up courage
and went up to him.
Lord Caraven," she said, would
you mind telling me one thing?"
He looked up in wonder-it was so
seldom that she voluntarily addressed
him. AS he looked he was slightly
impressed with her appearances; the
tall, slender figure was draped in soft,
shining silk, the girlish face was
flushed with the effort of speaking to
him, the dark eyes were bright and
starlike, filled with unutterable
thoughts. He could not help owning
to himself that there was some beauty
in the thick coils of dark hair, in the
tall, slim, graceful figure, in the per-
feet grace and harmony. She was sim
ply yet beautifully dressed; a pome-
granite blossom lay in the coils of her
hair
II want you to tell me one thing"
she repeated. "If you admire fair girls
with golden hair, why did you marry
me, with hair and eyes so dark?"
She asked the question in such per-
feet good faith, in such earnest tones,
with such sad, sweet eyes, that he was
touched, not deeply, but as he would
have been had some child come to him
with trembling lips to tell a pitiful
tale.
Why" she pursued, eff that was the
case, did you marry me?"
"You know why l married you," he
replied, gravely-"why ask me the
question:"
He saw vivid color spread over
her face. a bright light shine in her
eyes. The simple girl thought and be-
lieved he meant that she knew he had
married her because he loved her. Her
heart gave a great, glad bound. He
loved her! She would understand bet

city-if there was any part that she
preferred.

No. She had been to Paris only
once-that was for her holidays She
knew nothing of the city. Then the
young husband looked over the blue
waters. He had shown her due polite
ness and attention. He was i'll at ease
and longing to be away again. He did
not notice how wistful was the fair
young face turned to him. He bowed
politely and went away.
She clutched her little hand; she
tried to still the beating of her heart.
