Then all conversation seemed to drag,
and people only spoke in monosylables
or hazarded some guess as TO what
could be the matter.
But it wasn't Indians. 1t wasn't war

tions from the eastern manager to de-

So there was nothing for it but to call
her. and with sudden panic in her eyes
she hurried into the parlor, shrank
for a moment from the proffered dis
patch-then, with an effort at self-con-
troll, took it, tore it open, read with d.

as though in bewi,Germent and dismay,
staring into vacancy as she did so. and
then suddenly. without a moan. without
a sound from her lips, went down in

on she stood. and the ladies rushed to

Full half an hour they labored over

the doctor and brought him to the
scene. Grafton had rescued the paper
just as it seemed about to futter into
the fireplace. folding and slowing it
away in his coat pocket, and rot until
after ten did she seem to recover con-
seriousness. not until near the sound

and then the messenger came back.
The operator at the Junction said they

she. while travelling with her husband,
meets Merriam on his wedding trip.
Chapter III--Some time previous to this
Merriam had gone en- a government sur

cloths of all kinds will be the most pop.

Dresses are SO much seen at present
with the skirt and waist fashioned in
the same material that this is scarcely
to be wondered at. Then again the
princess robe, so favorably adopted by
Parisians, almost necessitates plain
material, and never looks better or falls
IN such graceful folds as when fash

So, though the future may perhaps
have in store for us materials woven
with cobwebs, at any rate cloth does for
the present, and will, for considerable
time, reign supreme.

been so popular are TO give place 10 high

Three days after the co.onels din

her own opinion. TO take the hint. Nor
did Mrs. Grafton too eagerly urge. BY

your dear face.
They say that met you and won you. not
knowing
That your voice In my heart was my
childhood's first song:
And that song In my heart. dearest love
Is bestowing
blessing that shields me from weak
ness and wrong
Little maid! little maid! may hear your
voice calling
years.
May its song on my heart be, oh. tenderly
falling
When life's journey ends in the valley
of tears!
