away like a CLINT of sunshine from
the pan OF water in the chair. Olive
had watched this broken bit OF rad
lance, as it played on the ceiling above
the table with the album and pictorial
Bible on 1t. 1t was like a halo above
the precious spot. She moved her
chair up to the window with a little
sigh. Joseph moved his ladder up to
the same window on the opposite side.
Let it down from the top, Olive"
he said.
II can't" Olive called back, at
sticks"
Joseph was on her side in a moment.
His fingers just touched hers as they
pulled on the spring together, and
something which was not unlike CLINT
of sunshine passed through the two.
The spring slipped back and Joseph
was on the outside again Joseph low
cred the window to bring it within
easy reach Of the woman on the other
side. Strange he hadn't thought of
that before. Standing straight up,
Olive on her chair and Joseph on his
ladder, the two looked into each others
eyes. There was nothing on Joseph's
side and nothing on Olives side to
dim their vision. 1t was all clear.
But now face to face" thought
Olive.
The old mother passing by the par
Tor, smiled, and spoke not word.
From the kitchen she called: Are
the windows all clean. daughter?"
All clean, mother" came the an
swer, and Olive Thompson recalled the
words of the sermon, Take heart;
spring days are coming when the win
dows will be open to the sky; and we
shall see face to face what has always
BEEN"

the American article, which is vastly
superior in quality, as to practically
exclude it. The unsubsidized press is
very bitter against Mr.. Kruger on ac-
count of this concession business and
goes so far as to ask how the presl-
dent could amass fortune OF more
than $1,000,000 on salary OF f7O00,
and how his son-in-law, Eloff, could
build a $250,000 palace on no salary.
GiIlingham is in the front rank OF con-
cessionaires.
He lives in more simplicity even
than Mr. Kruger, who dimes with his
coachman. His two sons. Joseph anc
Parnell, attend the town school
Though Mr.. Gillingham intends giving
them a college education), and they
may be seen at times behind the coun-
ter. Dillingham; lives plainly and
dimes plainly, his only indulgence be-
ing good cigars and fine pair OF
horses. His team is usually on the
go all day, for he is in no one place
for many minutes. He is closeteo
with Mr.. Kruger more frequently
than any one else, and the president
often calls at the bakeshop and chats
in the rear room with the proprietor
about doings in the rand.
Though seldom seen actively engag-
ed in his place of business nowadays,
no false pride absents Gillingham, and
when the Americans called in the ev-
ening to bid him farewell he was en-
gagged in wrapping up some hot buns
for a comely Boer maiden.

velous. He Is twenty-six years old and
is the son of rather small parents OF
Scotch-Irish descent, neither Of them
possessed of more strength than their
appearance would Indicate Neither are
the other sons of the family possessed
Of strength sufficient to distinguish
them from other young men. Williams
has always been strong, but it is only
within the last five years, since reach
ing his majority, that he has come to
be known as a young Hercules. He Is
growing stronger all the time The fol-
lowing is partial list of the feats
performed by Williams, none of them
giving him any particular trouble:
Holding a 175-pound dumbbell above
the head at arms length: lifting 1,400
pounds with harness; twisting two
packs Of playing cards in two with the
greatest ease; raising 150-pound man
above the head; lying down to let two
ordinary men, or one weighing 200
pounds. stand on his neck; driving a
sixty-penny cut spike into a two-inch
plank with the hand, afterward pulling
1t out with the teeth; bursting bowl
der with the fist; breaking by expan-
sion Of the chest chain that will stand
a pressure of between 300 and 400
pounds; lifting 1000 pounds, hand
hold; breaking a clothesline tied
around the bare breast by lung expan-
sion; allowing two men, while he walks
around, to swing on 175-pound dumb
bell held across the back, making a to-
tai weight Of about 500 pounds; balanc-

Sunday being New Year day she was
very devoted In her attention. Her
eyes never wandered from the face OF
the preacher, the face that had been
her Sunday study for thirty years. she
was five years old when she began the
study. The face had never grown any
older to her. There were the same
little semi-circular wrinkles under the
lobe OF the ear nearest her. which she
had always seen, and the devious
creases above the eyes continued al
ways OF the same elevation. except
that they had grown inwards, tending
to the horizontal ripple above the
nose. and deepening at that point.
The sermon. to the mind OF Olive
Thompson. was more beautiful" on
this particular day than had ever been
before.
Now We see through a glass dark
ly, but then face to face" he said.
THE mists OF our present condition
cloud our view; stormy days have sent
dust and sleet against our windows
until. for the dimness OF our glass.
We cannot see the sky"
OiiVe lhompsons eyes nlled with
tears. She remembered the dust and
sleet" OF weary years. How the storm
had breathed upon the windows OF her
soul, turning into frosted tablets what
otherwise might have been avenues for
sunlight.
Take heart" the preacher went on.
spring days are coming when the
windows will be open to the sky. and
We shall see face to face what has al
ways been. but which we could not
see for looking through a glass dark
ly."

When Autumn dies at last upon her
throne
Amid the ruin OF regal state,
Boreas' clarion trumpets sound her
fate,
And Winter knows the realm thence
forth his own;
Calling his minions in the Arctic zone
And making them through his own
greatness great.
He journeys forth to his possessions
straight,
The winds wild music aye before him
blown.
A lock OF frost he fastens on the land,
And makes the air with keenest cold
to sting:
The waters lie meath letters from his
hand
And while his white SHOWS toss and
whirl and fling.
ROBBED royalty and crowned for all
command
He proudly cries, Behold me: am
King"
