Parliament.
II Corbett were alive he could still
criticise the English grammar of the
speech prepared for the sovereign at
the opening Of parliament, says the
London News. The queen adopts this
speech at her council on the advice of
her ministers and 1t is then given to
parliament as her own words" 1t is
important to observe that the presi-
dent of the council and the minister
who last saw the queen at Osborne in
reference to the speech read recently is
also the head of the education depart
ment. Is there an inspector of schools
under him who would pass a reference
to expenditure which is beyond for
mer precedent? A question in Eng
lish grammar might be set in the
schools from the following sentence:
"A portion of the Afridi tribes have
not yet accepted the terms offered to
them. but elsewhere the operations
have been brought to successful
close" In the reference to Crete we
read: THE difficulty of arriving at
an unanimous agreement upon some
points has unduly protracted their de-
liberations u. e., the deliberations of
the powers), but l hope that these OBJ
stacles will before long be surmount-

of the speech, it Is not likely to be

They did not permit her to stay very
long. Barbara was lying still. very
faint and weak from the shock OF the
accident and the pain of her leg. She
was worrying and anxious about her

TOOK 1T FOR GRANTED.

A lawyer told few days ago of a
strange state of affairs that came to his
notice several years ago whne practic-
Ing In the eastern part of the state.
says the Sioux City Journal. He had
not been out of college very long, and
to start in gave considerable attention
to pension claims. One day an old
woman, possibly so years of age. came
to his Office. She was widow of
soldier of the war of 1912, and wanted
him to look up her pension claim. He
asked her to show proof of marriage.
TIE applicant said somewhere in her
house she had the marriage license
that had been issued to her in one of
the eastern states before that war. But
she had not been able to find 1t. She
was told then that she must secure affi-
davits of some people who had known
her husband, and of the fact that they
had lived together for years and had
brought up family. One Of the
grown-up sons was with her at the
time and he secured the necessary in
formation. But to be sure that every
thing was all right the lawyer wrote
to the clerk of the courts of the county
in which the original license had been
issued. That officer replied that the
license had been issued, but that no
return OF the marriage had ever been
made. In few days the old woman
came back to see her lawyer about the
matter, and by that time she had found
the worn marriage license. But that
was all she did have. 1t afterward de-
veloped that the couple had understood
that when the license was issued to
them that it was all that was neces-
sary. They never called in preacher
to perform the ceremony and had lived
together for all these years and had
brought up large family.

dryly; sit might have been very awk-
ward for you to be left alone long"
ooh, but Lord Aylmer was so kind
Dorothy cried. sHe not only took me
to the hospital to see Barbara and
brought me back again, but he has
actually gone off now to see his Wallets
wife, who is the very person to stay
with me till Barbara is able to come
home again"
Yes, that is really very good OF
him." Esther admitted. "But now, my.
poor little excited pale-face, I am going
to make you cup of tea. Show me
the way"
So Dorothy took her into Barbara's
neat little kitchen, and Miss Brand es-
tablished her cousin in chair, while
she put the tea-things together and
made all ready. Then she carried the
tray into the drawing room and made
Dorothy sit in big arm chair while

stirred her own tea round and round.
"Oh, awfully DID," answered Dorothy

answered. "If your man'll give me a
hand We'll lift her in, in a minute"
Eventually the woman was lifted in
to the victoria and the energetic
young woman, having rushed back to
her house for her hat, got in also, and
supported her in as comfortable posi-
ton as was compatible with her in
sensible condition. Just as they were
starting, doctor arrived on the scene,
took hasty glance at the victim of
the accident, and quietly got In, TAX.
Ing possession Of the little back seat.
I'D better Colts bad business"
he said to Lord Aylmer, realizing that
he was the owner of the carriage.
"Yes-yes-we had better follow in
a cab" Lord Aylmer said, turning to
the policeman. Il suppose you'll see
me through?"
"Oh, yes, my lord; I'm bound to do
that" he answered.
Lord Aylmer was getting more and
more nervous; he got into the cab
looking white and scared, with his sin
full old heart humping against his
ribs in way that was very unusual
with him. Not because his carriage
has run over an elderly woman and it
was likely to prove fatal accident,
not for that reason at all, but wholly
and solely because, when Charles and
the policeman had lifted the uncon-
scious woman into the carriage, Lord
Aylmer had picked up a letter which
was lying face upward in the roadway
just where she had lain. Short-sight-
edness was not one OF Lord Aylmers
signs OF approaching years. and in an
instant he had grasped that the letter
was addressed to his nephew Dick, and
before Charles and the policeman had
got their burden safely into the vic
toria, he had thrust the letter into his
pocket, with sort of impious thanks
giving to Heaven that at last the girl
he had been hunting down for many
weeks was delivered into his hand.
For evidently this respectable elder
ly woman, dressed in decent black was
Mrs Harris servant; and il it hap
pened that she did not keep more than
one-why this accident would put her
altogether at his mercy.
He was positively trembling when
they reached the St. Georges Hospital,
and Barbara was carried in, not I'M
conscious now, for the slight jolting Of
the carriage had brought her to again.
Then there was short time of i'm
patient waiting before the doctor came
to them-that is. Lord Aylmer and the
young lady who had come with the
patient.
Broken Leg" he saba bad thing

she could not help wondering, as
they drove along through the mellow
autumn air, how it was that Dick had
SO mistaken his uncle. 1t seemed to
ner that he was all that was charming
and considerate-the sort of old gentle
man who does not seem old, although
his hair is white and he must have
lived years enough for the world to call
old. 1t was evident to her sweet and
simple soul that Dick had never really
got at his uncle's Utmost nature-which
was true, and all the better for Dick
that he hadn't. He could not, she ar
gued, be such savage as Dick had al
ways made out, for why should he take
SO much trouble for an insignificant
stranger like herself, or for an old wo-
man like Barbara. even if his carriage
did happen to have knocked her down
and broken her leg? That had no.
thing. or next to nothing, to do with
it-oh, it was plain to her that Dick
had never managed his uncle properly,
and very likely Lady Aylmer had never
managed him properly either.
So by the time they had reached the
hospital. Dorothy had thought herself
into quite blissful frame of mind. She
had built up wonderful castle in the
air, when Lord Aylmer should express
wish, "Oh. my dear, do wish that
you were my daughter" when she
would throw off her disguise and say,
Il am the next thing to your daughter"
Howe" why, I'm Dicks wife,
She was so engrossed in her dream
that she did not notice that they had
reached their destination, until a
smooth voice at her elbow said, Now,
dear lady,
Somehow the tone Jared on her
dream, but her eyes were still radiant
as she turned them toward him. II
