CHURCHES AND scHooLHovsEs

The interior walls OF churches, school
houses and all public halls should never be
coated with anything but the durable and
pure Alabastine. So evident has this fact
become, that hundreds OF tons are used au.

tine does not rub or scale off. 1t Is cleanly

WHAT ~ALABASTINE IS.

Alabastine Is the original and only durable
wall coating on the market. 1t Is entirely
different from all kaIsomine preparations.
Alabastine Is made ready for use In white or
twelve beautiful tints by the addition of
cold water. 1t Is put up In dry powdered
form, In Hve-pound packages, with full d.
rections on every package. II takes the
place OF scaling kalsomines, wall paper and
paint for walls. Aiabastine can he used on
plaster, brick, wood or canvas and a child
can brush II on.

CHAPTER vI.-THRouGH THE LANEs

The air was clean and fresh, and filled
with the sweet, earthly smell that follows
rain; but there was no moon, and in the
narrow lanes, often o~vershadowed by trees,
1t was very dark, which was, perhaps, the
reason why Captain Beauregard kept his
impatient horse at the easiest of trots.
though, even where there was more light,
the pace was not mended, and Valerie
either put this down to over-caution on her
account, or preferred not to ask questions
"7or conscience sake"
Truly, this was happiness, this drive in
The sweet June night. Valerie felt rs il
she were in a dream, and maybe her com
panion felt the same, for he did not offer
10 break the silence between them, till
they were more than a mile from Dom
nington; then, bending down q little, he
said, softly:
You will promise me those three dances,
Miss Herbert, will you not?"
YES" she said, simply; "that is not
much, is it, in return for all your kind
nesss"
That innocent answer brought n smile to
Max Beauregard's handsome mouth, a fash
into his dark hazel eyes.
81 think" he said, "that it is far, far
more than l deserve, for l deserve nothing:
but since you consider 1t so little, you tempt
me TO-"
ooh, Captain Beauregard," cried the
girl, laughing, II didn't mean that! You
don't think me so conceited, do your /
don't put things well, / know. have not
lived in the world; l didn't mean to inn
ply"
There she stopped, at a loss; Captain
Beauregard came to her rescue:
III understood you perfectly. 1 simply,
with my usual audacity, took advantage OF
your lack of self-appreciation. Will you
forgive mes"
"Tf there is anything to forgive"
"Miss Herbert, I am trying to feel peni-
tent, and you won't let me; you drive away
all my good resolutions"
"Do II But what can l dor / only say
what l feel"
"Then good-by to my last struggle for
velf-rebuke. shall make my list four"
Out rippled the girls silvery laugh,
though she colored, too.
"If you like" she said.
"If l like! And one is to be the first
waltz after supperr
Every WELL"
"A thousand thanks"
Silence again. Presently Beauregard
spoke.
II know most Of the way" he said, "5ut
i suppose you car guide me If I am wrong.
Here are two roadside pulled up-"which
goes to WelfordS"
: "This to the right said Valerie. at is
scarcely half a mile from here"
. And the other?-doesn't it fetch round
to Wexford sooner or later?"
Eyes, only it is quite two miles out OF
the way"
Beauregard paused.
1T Is not very late" he said, in a low
tone. MAY / not take the longer route2n
Valerie drew a quick breath; her lips
parted; she raised her dark eyes, shining
like stars in the gloom, to her companions
face-wfstful, mischievous eyes, that said,
In that look, Ought II 1t would be so

And Captain Beauregard smiled, and
turned his horses head into the two miles
road.
But even that road came to an end at
last, and, with a mental sigh, man and girl
saw the ~church-spire Of Wexford looming

And savage tribes in the uncleared land

He dwelt with the tribes of the marsh and

He tasted the toll OF the burdened slave,
and the Joy that triumph brings;
But whether to jungle or palace hall or
white-walled tent he came,
He was a brother TO king and soldier and

in the clatter and chatter and strife;
The babble OF markets and blur OF print
the turmoil men call Life, T.

When he knew that the world Is a&build-
