One Of Morocco,s Wonders.

DR.. Thomson, in his book of travels
in the Atlas and Southern Morocco,
thus describes a great natural wonder
which he observed near Demnat. "In a
few minutes we were on the top of the
closing barrier of rock, and then, to
my profound surprise, l found that /
was not only on the top of a natural
arch and bridge utilized by the inhab-
itants, but also on an aqueduct by
which a fine stream was conveyed from
one side of the glen to the other, where
it fell in a cascade. The explanation
of this probably unique phenomenon OF
a river being conveyed naturally across
a gorge 140 feet deep soon became ap-
parent, and proved to be sufficiently
simple The arch was not composed or
the limestone rock of the hills, but or
calcareous tufa. The stream that now
crossed the glen had primarily fallen
as a simple cascade on the eastern side,
and, being charged with lime in solu-
ton, had, throughout long centuries,
continued to deposit its calcareous bur-
den layer after layer. In process or
time the tufa or lime thus deposited
had gradually grown out until it had
reached the opposite side of the gorge
and completed the bridge aqueduct;'
and now, instead of falling on the east
side, the stream falls as a cascade on
the west SIDE and there continues its
deposition of tufa. OF course, mean
while. the Wad Demnat was also as
work beneath, preventing the choking
ND of its natural channel while eating
away the limestone beds beneath, thus
preventing the formation of the mas
sive wall which otherwise would have
resulted"

II was wishing only yesterday that La

earl. my opinion is that the whole
world has gone mad together"
He was rather struck, after all: 10
startled him to find the best judge OF
beauty in England speak in such rap-
turous terms about the countess. II
was a mistake of course; but tho
strange thing was to find an artist or
such note mistaken-it did not often
happen. He left Sir Raoul to tell the
news to his wife-he would not have
complimented her so highly.

Il do not understand much about the
etiquette of such matters, but l should
have thought it would be etiquette to

ITO be sure-you are quite right; he
might sot like his wife's lovely face to
be shown to the world. But in that
case l should blame him; a man can
not but be better after having seen such
a face as that"
81 do not think he will refuse: but /
should most certainly speak to him
first"
He told the artist that he believed
Lord Caraven was even then in the
house, and that IL he pleased he would
send for him. The earl came in, won
dering what could have induced Lum-
ley Atherstone to ask for him. The
artist soon explained. Lord Caraven
looked at him in wonder.

An Endless Train.

"Yes," said the talkative travelling
man, some OF those southern roads
are frightfully crooked. I remember
once starting out to make a little trip
Of thirty miles or so on the P. d. S.
road. I started early in the morning.
The hours went by; noon came. At the
middle OF the afternoon we were still
going. The road seemed more crooked
than usual. We noticed that there
seemed to be something strange in the
monotony Of the scenery along the
route. Our train was one of those ac-
commodation freight trains, with
about forty cars. Well, sir, we didn't
know what was up. Finally it dawned
upon some Of the more observant Of
us that We were continually passing
and repassing the same place. And
that was just what was the matter"
"Nhy, how could that be?" well, sir,
some of us went to the rear of the
train and found that the front of the
engine had somehow or other, in some
u our curves, got coupled into the
rear OF our last car. The engineer was
asleep, and we had been going in a
circle all day"

literally tired of hearing the constant
repetition of titles? Raoul, you claim
relationship with Lady Caraven, why
not call her 'Hildred?' Hildred, why
not give over your formal and cere-
monious Sir and simply say 'RaoulT"
Il shall be only too happy" said Sir
Raoul, "if my dear and beautiful kins-
woman will permit it,"
Before the young countess had time
to answer Lord Caraven laughed again.
What old-world notions you have,
Raoul! Fancy talking about "a dear
and beautiful kinswoman.'
And why not, Uric? 1t seems to
me that the people in your set sneer at
everything simple and noble. l repeat
the expression-my dear and beautiful

Yes" she replied, "if you wish It,
Sir Raoul." .

"If you wish it, Raoul," she said. Her
face flushed, her dark eyes dropped,

always refuse. If they do accept

IT have some letters of my own to

Sir Raoul saw, as she placed the letters
in her husbands hands, how carefully
she avoided touching him-so carefully.
indeed, that two of the letters fell to the
ground.
"My hand is not made of hot Goals,
Hildred," he cried, impatiently; you
need not be afraid of touching it,"
She made no reply; but, drawing back
with a naughty gesture, quilted the
room.

CHAPTER XXII.-(Continued)
Lord Caraven went over to him ut
once, shook hands with him warmly,
and asked him how he had spent the
day.
Very happily, thanks to Lady Car
aven," he replied-"she has been all
kindness to me-"
The earl looked both pleased and i'm
patient.
you certainly seem better" he re-
marked. I'VE shall have you well yet,
Raoul."
please heaven" said the soldier,
reverently. And when l am well l
shall rejoin my regiment"
Sir Raoul saw that, instead OF join
ing in the conversation, Lady Caraven
walked away to the other end OF the
drawing room, never paying the least
attention to her husband-her behavior
as cold, Indifferent and neglectfm rs
his had been to her.
Il will tell you one thing, Uric" he
said; "if do recover, shall owe some
thing to your wife; she is the kindest
nurse have ever met with"
is she?" asked the earl, languidly.
"If you ever fall i'll yourself, you will
believe it, Uric"
Il hope never shall" returned the
earl; IF l do l shall not expect the
Countess of Caraven to nurse me-"
"Ulric," said Sir Raoul, in a low
voice, what induced you to tell me
that your wife was tall and dark-noth-
ing more?"
$50 she is" he replied.
Soldiers are pretty good judges

they see the women of many lands
believe me when / say that never met
or saw a more beautiful woman than
your wife"
If she be not fair to me, what care
I how fair she be?'" quoted the earl.
Il am glad you think so. l do not
admire her style Of beauty. II any
one else does, so much the better-I
do not object. There is the bell. Isn't
1t dreadful that the sound of the din
Ter bell has a greater charm for me

tyr"
Lady Caraven fastened forward. Her
husband said something to her; she
answered him with a cold, naughty
look. Sir Raoul spoke; 1t was quite
another face that she turned to him
brilliant, tender, beautiful. She begged
him to take her arm. He looked at
her laughingly.
1T would be cruel to take so fair an
arm" he said, with a strong one like
Ulric's near"
mine is strong with goodwill" she
said, smiling.
And Sir Raoul could not refuse. He
leaned as lightly as possible on the
lovely, round arm. but his heart was
warmed by her kindness.
Then he set to work resolutely 10
watch her, to see if in any respect she
was deficient. He could not discover
anything. She took her place with
consummate grace. She was we'll
versed in all the etiquette Of the table
she was a charming hostess. He saw,
too, that with all her wealth and all
her beauty, she was an excellent mis-
tress of the household; her servants
were well trained and obedient.
81 do not see myself" thought Sir
Raoul, what more Uric can desire"
He could detect no fault in her; but
he did stop to wonder what their din
ners must be like when they were quite
alone.
The earl might have guessed the
nature Of his thoughts, for he said,
suddenly:
I'VE had some friends coming to-
night, but l postponed their visit.
thinking that you would be tired.
Raoul. We never dine alone"
The young countess made no re-
mark. Sir Raoul saw that she had
plenty Of self-control; no matter how
sarcastic or bitter her husband was she
was never provoked to reply.
"She has that virtue" he said to
himself, northumberland it is a sure
'o1ndation for many Others"
The Yale expositor., 1898-04-01

WnOle DAYS together the earl ulu not
see his wife, and oftener now than
ever he dined from home.
One evening the earl was more than
usually disagreeable. Some friends
were dining with them, and during din
ner Lord Caraven began to speak of
one OF his acquaintance who had
gone abroad for his honeymoon.
Another added to the long list Of
victims" he said-"another name writ
ten on the scroll of folly. He was
man who had everything he desired.
yet he got married. want a word for
such folly"
"Ulric," said Sir Raoul sharply
pardon me-that is not the way a
married man should speak"
Pardon me-" said the earl, laughing
ly-"it is only a married man who can
speak so. You outsiders know nothing
Of the matter. Distance lends en-
chantment,' you know"
Sir Raoul saw crimson flush mount
to Hildreds white brow. Suddenly the
young countess spoke. Her voice
sounded pitilessly sweet and was as
clear as a bell.
Il quite agree with Lord Caraven,"
she said; 'if there be one folly greater
than all others, it is that which we
call by the name of marriage"
There was a dead silence for a min
ute; even Lord Caraven felt that he
had gone too far-that he had spoken
in an undignified, ungentlemanly fash
ion; then came Sir Raoul to the res
cue.
1T is an old institution" he said;
I'VE will not abuse 1t. Talking of
abuse, has any one read the Saturdays
singing review Of Captain Hartlake's
great military work."
This changed the conversation; but
that night, when the young countess
was about to retire, she went across the
closed over his.
Il want to say goodnight and 20
thank you" she said. II want to say
also that you have been very kind, and
that | feel sure you believe in what is
good; so pray for me-pray for me
for l am frigbtn,N' at myself"
He repeated the words after her,
wondering at them. Frightened at
herself, poor child"
Amongst the friends who came to
see Sir Raoul was Lumley Atherstone,
the famous artist--a genius who lived
for art
He was sitting one morning talking
to Sir Raoul when Lady Caraven en-
tered. He had not seen her before
and he at once admired her. When
Hildred had spoken to Sir Raoul, and
talked for a few minutes with the ar
fist, she went away. With dreamy
eyes Lumley Atherstone looked after
her.
"She is very beautiful, Sir Raoul,"
he said. 81 have not seen such a face
or figure since | left Italy"
Lady Caraven is certainly q lovely
woman" was the quiet reply.
The artist sat quite still, rapt in q
dream. Suddenly he turned to the
soldier.

it as a great favor, that Lady Cara
ven would let me paint her portrait?"
II can not tell" answered Sir Raoul
