Long years, long years Of silence deep
From the shores Of Gods own land;

From Natures outstretched hand
But the seal once set yet
When Gods own hour came

And the world must know our name"

From lands sea-girt and fair;
He touched hearts. He barred our arms.
And ships went sailing there.

While their ships were a of flame
For 1.-THE world must know our merchant flag
And the world must knew cur NAME
Now the ports whence the ships depart are ours
When they go fer aught need:
And the ports where they land and lade are ours,
While the mouths Of the world feed.

Ignorance would be more generous than to

That night Mr.. We'd wrote a letter,
and It read as follows:
My Beloved Lady Mother-In the
years of silence which have passed l
have thought of you hourly; sometimes
bitterly. Recently a new influence has
come into my lonely life, the sweet,
saving influence of a little child, the
daughter of a neighbor. She narrowed
up my very soul by asking if I lad a
mother. or If God had taken her from
me. and 1 told no falsehood when l
said, you had been taken from me"
1 cannot now fell kindly toward the
man who induced you to become his
wife although my father urged you to
marry again. / will say nothing of
him, but l doubted him. My little
mentor tells me that her mother. who
is a charming lady, is called the
dragon killer" and I recall how you
We're wont TO cast out my demon tenn
per.
Ever since l left you have lived the
life of hermit. 1 avoid every one and
only visit the haunts of men for books,
which 1 devour still; but o, how / miss
your presence and your love.
Little Madeline has taught me that it
was cowardly to leave you. and L con-
fess that it was.
Is Lord Westbrooke kind to you? Are
you happy?
am thought to be quite old over here; 1
feel old. 1 am, however, enriching my
self with knowledge, and this beautiful
land has a powerful fascination for me.
l read and study alone in my modest
home, without even a servant, and at
night, when thoughts burn too deep for
sleep, L go out and study the stars.
Madeline's parents are very kind, but
she it was who killed the dragon. Her
little lips were the first ever pressed to
mine since you entreated me not to
leave England. / call the little thing
my sweetheart in my thoughts, and
watch her unfolding as 1 watch the
roses in my modest garden. Some day
you must come to this charming Ameri-
ca and win me from this life of soli-
tude; until then. forgive and love your
impetuous boy. They know me here as
Christopher We'd" but to you, dear
est, l am still your loving, but wilful
son. AUBREY VEDDER.

ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES
The People, Climate, Resources and Other Features of the
Great Archipelago.

The Philippine islands constitute one
of the greatest archipelagoes of the
world. They lie in the north tropic
zone and separate the South China sea
on the west and the Pacific ocean on
the east. The eastern shore of the prin-
cipal island is about 600 miles east of
Hongkong; it is the largest and most
northern great island of the group-a
group which, extending from ) degrees
to 20 degrees north latitude, and over a
longitude of 10 degrees to III degrees
east of Greenwich, covers north and
south line of 1850 miles, and an east
and west line OF about 7e9 miles.
It is estimated that this group COM
prises 400 islands, of which by far the
larger part are more islets. They are of
coral and volcanic formation, the latter
often having tremendous eruptions. The
largest Of them are Luzon. on the
north, Of nearly A, 600 square miles area
and Mindanao, on the southeast, hav-
ing an area of 81, 456 square miles. The
total area is computed at 114,000 square
miles.
The chief seaport of the group is
