leave Quebec and had gone down the
river to the place of anchorage. Next

of Nelson, was walking on the beach.

The second attachment which Nelson
formed was with Miss Andrews, the
daughter of an English clergyman,
when he was on half pay and staying
at St. Omer. 1t was less ardent than
the first and he got over it when he left
France. Getting another ship called

Raleigh's. Hard Luck.

Many are the stories told of the loves
for there We're more than one-of sir
Walter Raleigh, sailor. explorer and
courtier. The old. old one of the man
ner in which he established himself in
the favor of Queen Elizabeth is worth
retelling.
On his return to England in 1oSa
from putting down a rebellion In Mum
ster, Raleigh was graciously received
at court. His accomplishments and
fine manners pleased the maiden
queen and by one adroit act of gal
lantry he established himself in her
favor. Meeting the queen near
marshy spot and observing that she
hesitated to proceed, Raleigh instantly
| spread his rich cloak on the ground for
a foot-cloth for his royal mistress.
| Once having ventured to write upon
a window, which the queen was to pass,
| this line: "Fain would I climb, but that
! I fear to fall Elizabeth is said, upon
observing it, to have written beneath
| the inscription IF thy heart fail thee,
do not climb at ALL
Raleigh married Elizabeth Throg-
| morton, one of the queens maids OF
honor, and thereby highly incensed Eli
zabeth, who believed the admiration of
| her courtiers should be centered in her
| self. In consequence Raleigh and his
wife were committed to the tower, and
were not liberated until the clever
Raleigh had recourse to a stratagem
| that appealed to the queens vanity and
] caused her to relent.

Farragut's marriages.

David Glasgow Farragut, the United
States first admiral. like Dewey, was
married twice. He was devoted hus-
band and father and his domestic life
is reputed to have been charming.
In 1890, while at Norfolk. Va, on
leave, he fell in love with Miss Susan
c. Marchant, daughter of Jordon Mar
chant, whom he married three years
later She became an invalid a few
years after marriage. While on shore
duty her husband tended her with low
ing care and devotion, even going so
far as to prepare all the food for her
while she was il, he being an accomp-
lished cook. For two years they lived
at Norfolk in this manner and then he
was ordered to sea again. In 1884 he le-
turned to shore duty at Norfolk and
Washington, during which time he re-
sumed the care of his wife, who died in
1870
His second marriage, like the first
was in Norfolk, three years after the
death of his first wife. The bride was
Virginia. eldest daughter of William
Loyal. woman of superior character
and cultivation, and a loyal, true and
devoted wife. She survived him Il
years. Their married life was of the

! the spirit of absolute devotion and con.

Dutch Love Sundays.

From the Denver News.
The four Sundays of November are
observed as fete days in Holland. They
are known by the curious names of Re-
view, Decision, Purchase and Possess
son, and all refer to matrimonial af-
fairs November in Holland being the
month par excellence devoted to
courtship and marriage probably be-
cause the agricultural occupations OF
the year are over and possibly because
the lords OF creation from quite remote
antiquity have recognized the pleas
antness of having wives to cook and
cater for them during the long winter.
On Review Sunday everybody goes TO
church, and after service there Is
church parade in every village. whan
the youths and maidens gage upon each
other, but forbear to speak.
on Decision Sunday each bachelor
who is seeking a wife approaches the
maiden of his choice with a ceremoni-
GUS bow, and from her manner of re-
spending judges whether his advances
are acceptable. Purchase Sunday the
consent of the parents is sought If the
suit has prospered during the week.
Not till Possession Sunday, however,
do the twain appear before the world
as actual or prospective brides and
grOOmS.

CHAPTER VIII.

Madeline was downstairs again, and
out of doors, in day or two, appar-
emily as well as before her illness, save
that Marjorie fancied she noticed pc
culiar restlessness in her.
She rarely remained seated for long
time, and was for ever changing her
amusements or occupations.
Whenever Edgar Hyde was present,
she would fling herself into the con-
versation with an energy and liveliness
which perfectly amazed Marjorie
Her wit was brilliant; her spirits
seemed of the gayest.
"It is all to win his love-a last des-
perate effort TO get back heart which
was never worth the having!" thought
Marjorie, as she watched her.
And she sighed, to think that Made
line, for all her noble nature, could be
SO weak.
She was not perfectly at her ease
Morris tribune., 1899-08-19

Madeline, who had witnessed her
danger with horror, skated up to the
verge of the fatal spot, at the same
time uttering loud cries for help.
Marjorie's clothes had kept her from
sinking as yet, but it was evident IL
was but a momentary reprieve.
Unless help was given her speedily
she would disappear beyond the
reach of human aid.
White as death with agitation, Made
line knelt down at the very edge OF the
ice, and, regardless of the danger to
herself, stretched out her hand to the
drowning girl.
In a moment the ice gave way be-
meath her weight, and she clutched at
Marjorie, only to be drawn into thew
ter with her.
If help had not been at hand, neither
of the two would have emerged alive.
But the gardener had seen the, acci-
dent, and was hurrying to the lake
with ladder, which was provident1ally
near.
By the aid of this they were rescued,
and were removed to the house, pale
and shivering indeed, but not serious
ly the worse for their wetting.
They changed their clothes, but
would not do as the frightened SER
wants advised, and go to bed
They should do quite well, they de-
clared, if they sat warmly wrapped up
by the fire in Madeline's own room.
Majorie had not said much while the
servants were present, but the moment
she was alone with her friend, she
knelt on the floor at her feet, and, TAX
ing her hand, kissed it with overflow
ing gratitude.
Madeline, how can / ever repay
you?" she whispered while her glow
ing cheek and shining eye testified to
the depth of her emotion. Il owe my
life to you'll"
Suddenly Madeline bent forward, and
clasped her in her arms.
do you think so, dear? Then re-
member the debt until l ask for pay
ment. Some day Marjorie, / may ask
life from you"
She tried to speak with affected
lightness, but there was a touch or
real. of almost terrible earnesstness in
her tone, which would not be suppress
ed, and she kept her head resolutely
bent so that Marjorie might not see the
flush on her cheek-the strange, excit"
ed glitter in her eye.

with Miss hyde just now.
She had guilty feeling that she was
not being quite as open and frank as
she would have liked to be
Charles Hyde had said to her. just
as they were quitting the wood on that
memorable day
Marjorie, we'll keep our own coun-
sci for little while"
She had nodded, and acquiesced at
the moment, not ill-pleased with the
Injunction but since then it had
pressed upon her rather uncomfort-
ably.
1t made her feel little guilty and
ronscience-stricken, especially when
Madeline continued, as often she did,
to vaguely hint that Charles Hyde was
scarcely proper object for her love.
Not that Marjorie ever suffered her
raith in her lover to be shaken
No; she loved him too dearly, and
was herself too true and loyal of soul
for that.
Meantime, she grew daily more at
tached to the beautiful and-in her
love, at any rate-unfortunate Made
line, and at length an incident occur
red which bound her warm heart to
her with more than ordinary affection
and gratitude.
The frost still continuing, they went
out to the lake together one afternoon
for an hours skating.
None of the gentlemen were at home
they had gone to look at a horse
which Edgar Hyde thought of purch-
asing, so the two girls were quite
alone. and likely to remain so.
For some time they pursued their
healthful exercise with much enjoy
ment.
Madeline looked brilliantly beauti-
full in her sealskin cap and jacket, her
cheeks flushed to rich damask, her
sparkling eyes as bright as stars,
Marjorie was looking at her with adj
miration, and marvelling how Edgar
Hyde could be so cold to her-tor cold
he undoubtedly was.
She was thinking of this so very
earnestly that she forgot to notice her
own progress across the ice.
There was one part which was adj
mittedly dangerous, and to this part,
In her abstraction, she had skated.
She was halfway across the treacher-
GUS bit before she remembered where
she was; and even then it was only
an ominous cracking sound which
aroused her to a sense of her danger.
Alarmed, she tried to skate back in
to safety, but it was too late.
The treacherous ice was breaking up
in all directions.
A piece of water two yards wide, and
cold, and dark, and cruel, stretched It
self between her and the firm ice on the
other side,
The piece on which she stood bent
horribly beneath her weight.
Another moment, and, with pitful
cry for help, she was engulfed in the
chilling water.
