shot him to death. Since then the clock

Field Marshal Lord Roberts, Charger
and His Noble Record.
Shortly after the jubilee, the writer
asked a colonial what he though of
the gorgeous procession. His reply
was brief and to the point. "The pro-
cession? 1 think it may be summed
up in a nutshell-the Queen and Lord
Roberts" In that there vas doubt
less some ~eNaggeration, but there is
no question that, after her majesty,
Lord Roberts, mounted upon his beau
tifully diminutivc Arab Volonel, made
the greatest appeal to the popular fan
cy. Both MAI and his horse were IA.

eral public do not often get Il chance

naturally aroused all their latent hero
worship to fever pitch. The late Val.
entine Baker used to be known as
1.-THE man on the old white horse;''
probably it will be as 'the man on the
little gray Arab that Lord Roberts
will be cnsllrined in the hearts of many
of our country and colonial cousins
aye, and of Londoncrs as well. Volonel,
like his master, is a veteran. Lord
Roberts bought him in March, 1877,
from Abdul Rahman, an Arab horse
dealer in Bombay. Volonel is of pure
Nejdi breed, and certainly he is a strik-
ing example of the longevity and pow
ers Of enduring the ups and downs Of
life ascribed to the pure Arab. He
went through the Afghan campaign
with his master. Out of that campaign
Lord Roberts came with undying fame,
but VolOnel was also rewarded for his
distinguished service, receiving the
medal for the campaign and the Kan
dahar Star. Both decorations were, I
believe, specially struck by order Of her
Majesty. Certainly the stout-hearted
little animal had earned these badges
of honor, for who knows, IL he had fall
tered OF gone wrong at some critical
moment, that the whole course Of the
campaign might not have been altered?
Volonel most assuredly seems to be

81 you zee a deep blue or green patch,
you may label 1t deep water, the blue
usually being deeper than the green. A
yellowish tint signifies a sandy bottom,
and, IL 1t is very pronounced, indicates
a shoal or sandbar.
Black indicates rocks, although sea-
weed or cloud shadows will sometimes
produce a similar effect.
On the east coast 1t is no uncommon
thing to see a patch Of bright red,
where the sun has reflected the color of
the deep brown sand on the surface.
Where the bottom is muddy, as on

So long ago as 1925 a sporting parson
existed, and one who thought that re-
ligion could be made more popular by
a little excitement; to this end he es-
tablished q rattle for six Bibles each
year. The clergyman who was so far
eccentric, left in his will a sufficient
sum Of money for the yearly purchase
OF Testaments to be won by dice. Only
a few days ago the ancient ceremony
was carried through, and twelve chill
dren threw dice, six of whom ran tho
chance of winning a Bible. A vicar, a
curate and two church wardens watch

Jane looking up, encountered, to her
CONSERVATION. Sir Wilfrid Ewell. He
was gazing at her fiXedly, with n look of
the utmost melancholy, and as his eyes
met hers they seemed to take her breath
away. She stopped short in the pathway
and bent her head over the pcrambula-
tor.
Jane" he began, in a low voice, .are
we never to be friends asain?"
II have always been your FRIEND" she
answered, with IL trembling lip.
but you refuse to see me or speak to
me. You absent yourself whenever 1 en-
| ter the cottage. You have no hesitation
in showing that my presence is distaste-
full to YOU"
what is the use of speaking or seeingy:'
she said, in IL tone sharp with pain.
What good can it do? 1t can only make
the past more bitter to remember, the
present more difficult to bcar?"
.'Ihcn YOU have felt it, dear? you do
feel it still? Regret is as keen with you
as with myself"
sit can never be that, Will, for 1 never
injured YOU"
Il know. Forgive me. But let me still
remain your friend"
ITO what end? 1t cannot undo the
past. 1t cannot even ameliorate 1t. We
are separated by your own free will. Let
me go on my way for the future unmo-
lcsted."
II cannot. You do not know what this
separation has cost me, how bitterly l
have rcpented it. Oh, Jane! l am SO
miserable! l have not a friend-worthy
the name-tO look to but yourself"
At last she raised her eyes with aston
ishmcnt and stared him in the face. Pity
the loveliest virtue in the composition
of woman-thrilled her through, and ef-
faced for Il moment the memory Of her
own wroDgs.
Not n friend!' she circulated, "with
your mother and sisters, and-and-the
person you call Lady Ewcll? Why, what
has become, then, of all the friends for
whom you deserted me?"
''They were not deserving of the name,
Jane. Has not Rosie told you of the I'M
fortunate relations between MY mean,
between Lady Ewcll aud myself? We
are not living together. 1t is very prob
able we shall never live together again.

for her beauty, and my Nemesis has corle

1T comes to most Of u.s." she answered,
quietly.

Wilfrid, for the FIRST time observing the
occupant of the perambulator. Whose

"Whose is she?" repeated Jane in a

she's an adopted child of mothers. We
never heard the name Of her parents. We
found her"
Found her! What an extraordinary
thing to do" said Sir Wilfrid.

Fiction's Treatment OF the Rich.
A grievance that has been treated,
very injudiciously in many works Of;
fiction is the relation Of the rich to thel
poor. Absolutely false ideas as to how
the rich get their wealth, and what
they do with It when they get It, have
been persistently fioated by novelistsl
for whom (as for the j~ournalist) a MILL
,ionaire is always fair game. It is not
worth while to expend any sympathy
upon the millionaires in this matter. AL
they can struggle along under a con-
siderable weight Of vituperation; buu
tho rest Of us cannot afford to be mt
continually in a false attitude toward
wealth. Hatred or envy Of the rich IA
moi a pleasant companion for our lei
sure hours, and the poorer we are the
less pleasant company It is likely to be.
1t interferes with our working to tha
best advantage, and cuts US or from
opportunities Of accommodating the very
wealth that might ease our pains
