The recollection of my visits TO
Tennyson which is the most endear-

went up the cliff together, Tennyson
drawing his wife in an invalid S
chair I relieved him for short
times; but, though l did not betray
myself, l found the effort a tre-
mendous one. He was, however, a
very strongly built man. There was
something infinitely touching in the
sight of this great poetic my mind

There never has been a time when
outdoor sport has offered more varied
enjoyment than is promised for the
summer season. It is onlya few years
since our love of athletics had a seri-
u beginning, but the multiplication
of clubs to foster manly-and woman
ly-games has been remarkable. The
elderly men who are now on the golf
links or pulling lazily somewhere in a
shell will tell you how a dozen of them
met and started clubs not long ago that
were the pioneers in American field
and water sports. : But to-day the
whole country is keenly interested in
outdoor recreation, and every city, and
almost every village, has its athletic
organization of one sort or another.
Every game that is worth the playing
is being enthusiastically INDUCED in,
and from making records that only
tyros are proud of we have come to
making in some sports those that lead
the world.

She begged that 1 would take care Of
the golden-haired prattler she was
leaving behind-take care of her until
he had served his period of imprison-
ment. I promised, and when the
earth closed over the body Of her I
hal loved I took the child away-the
child that resembled the mother 80
much. You were that child, Clarice."
A silence fell on the little group as
Templeton finished speaking. and the
golden head of Clarice had dropped
forward until it found rest On the ar
chitect's knee.
"And what do you expect me to
say, MI. Templeton?" asked Franklin
at length.
Il expect to hear you say what your
heart prompts you to say"
MY heart prompts me to say that
nothing you have told me tonight has
altered my love for Clarice, and I re-
peat again-I love her dearly, and she
loves me; we ask your consent to our
marriage"
"And I give it, Harold" said TEN
pleton, taking Franklin's hand and
wringing it. The young fellow stopped
and raised Clarice from her detected
attitude, kissed her streaming face, and
they passed slowly, side by side, from
the room.
An hour later the lovers stood at
the end of the wooded drive bidding
each other good night. The rain had
ceased falling.
"Aud to think, Harold, that I, who
have always felt proud of my parent
age, should be so disillusioned; to
think hat I am the daughter of a
f%elon!" and as the words fell from
Clarice Templeton's lips she sought
to check the sobs that filled her bosom.
Franklin drew her throbbing form
closer to his side.
"Nay, sweetheart, let not the news
trouble you so. You are not to blame
for what your father did, and he, per-
haps, by this is sorrowing for his past
cruelty and wickedness. However,
let us try to forget him and the past

The latest and most novel use for
old newspaper that has come to our
notice occurred the other day says the
Lisbon Patriot, when a gentleman
stepped into this Office and purchased
100 or more to feed his hens. He
tears the paper into shreds and scaks
it in sour milk until the whole mass
becomes q pulp, when he feeds it to
the hens, and he claims that it adds
greatly to their reproducing quail
ties. The newspaper is gradually ex-
tending its field of usefulness. From
food for thought it has expanded until
within its sphere is already included
food for goats and hens.
