and he had started off to South Africa
with his regiment, buoyed up with
hopes Of ultimately gaining her love.
\ month ago he had been invalided
home, and as soon as his doctors had
pronounced ii safe for him to travel he
had come straight to Elsie, only TO find
she had secret from him that bade
fair to lessen his hopes. From child
hood Elsie had been hero worshiper
of the most ardent kind. and had col
lection of her heroes photographs that
would fill Il good-Sized album. On her
fifteenth birthday Jack had given her
IA heart-shaped photo frame, which was
destined to contain her hero of the mo-
ment. who was laughingly dubbed by
Jack the king of Hearts,
Many and various were the faces he
had seen in that frame. but now he
feared that the real king had come,
who would not only retain undisputed
possession Of the photo frame, but
would also reign in Elsie's heart
With a visible effort Jack Stewart
reused himself from his painful
thoughts, and turning to Elsie said:
'As l may not see your new hero,
perhaps you will tell me about hlm?"
Anything you ask me, except his
name" she replied, meeting his gaze
for the first time.
HE is soldier of cOurse?"
Yes" she answered quietly.
'Good-looking.
Very good-looking." she said earn
estly, but with averted face.
Jack, feeling his fears confirmed by
her tone, went ON hurriedly:
We'll, we have got this far. at any
rate; he is physically perfect"

looking mischievously mt MIN.
mo doubt you mean that. What
about his character DO you know him

But it is only lately that he-that

giving him a queer little smile. But
what else would you like to know about
hlm?' Her former embarrassment had
left her, and she was quietly attentive
to his words.
'Is he renowned for his brains, or for
bravery only?"
"His intellectual faculties are quite
above the average" she returned, flash
ing merry look at him.
He was puzzled by her manner, and
continued rather lamely:
cit is his bravery then, that has
gained him your favorT

THE KING OF HEARTS.

CD HE bright spring sunshine was
pouring i'll at the window, tieck-
- ing with gold the hair of a young
girl WHO stood gazing at a photograph
in heart-shaped silver frame, which
held the place of honor on the mantel-
piece. Her thoughts were evidently
far away from her surroundings, as
she failed to hear footsteps approach
Ing, and was only recalled to herself
by the maid announcing Captain
Stewart" A flush OF burning color
swept over Elsles face, and quick as
thought she snatched the heart-shaped
frame from its place, and holding 1t in
her left hand, advanced to meet tall,
fair man, whose pale face showed signs
of recent illness, and who carried his
right arm In a sling.
"Why. Jackr she said, II had no idea
you were in London; did the doctors
give you permission TO travel?'
Her pretty face was still flushed, and
after answering her questions as to his
health, Jack Stewart felt difficulty in
returning to their old friendly footing;
there was subtle difference in her
manner 10 him that made him vaguely
uneasy.
So II was more by way of conversa-
ton than a desire for information that
Jack asked laughingly:
And who is the King of Hearts
now! Roberts, Kitchener or BullerF'
Then as his glance fell on the vacant
place on the mantel-piece, he started
and said, more seriously:
1.-The King of Hearts not in his ac-
customed place! What is the meaning
of this, Elsle?"
Once more a blush swept from brow
to chin, and Elsie, averting her eyes,
remained silent. Then it was that
caught sight of the frame in her left
hand.
"Why, you have it therew he said in
astonisbment. May l not see your
new hero" Then, Elsie remaining ST.
lent, with his free hand, gently took
the frame from her unresisting clasp,
and without looking at it, laid 1t face
downward on table near, and, resum-
ing his seat by her side, looked at her
with troubled eyes.
But three short months had passed
since he had sat in that room, and had
learned from her lips that though she

tongue, and called The pleiades of

Evaporation from Trees

Some curious facts concerning trees
have been discovered. A single oak
OF good size Is said to lift 123 tons Of
water during the months it is in leaf.
This moisture is evaporated and rises
TO form rain clouds. From this esti-
mate of the labor of single oak we
can gain some idea of the immense
force which the forests exert in equal.
izing the evaporation and precipitation
and preventing periods of inundation
and drouth.

ALWAYS TELL MOTHER.

Always tell mother. She's willing to
bear.
Willing to listen to tales of despair.
Tell her when trials and troubles assail
Seek her for comfort when sorrows pre-
vail.
Take mothers hand when temptations
entice:
Ask her for counsel; seek mothers ad-
vice.
Always tell mother. In mother confide;
Foster no secrets from mother to hide
Train your thoughts nobly, nor let your
IjDS speak
Words that would kindle blush on her
cheek
Mother stands ready her aid to impart
Open to mother the door of your heart
Always tell mother Your joys let her
share:
Lift from her shoulders their burdens Of
care;
Brighten her pathway; be gentle and
E;nd:
Strengthen the ties OF affection that
bind.
Tell her you love her; look up in her
face;
Tell her no other can take mothers
place.
Always tell mother. When dangers be-
tide.
Mother if need be, will die by your side
Though you be sunkcn in sin and dis
grace.
Mother will never turn from you her
face.
Others may shun you, but mother. your
friend.
Stands, ever ready, to shield and defend
Mothers devotion is always the same.
Softly, with reverence, breathe mothers
name.
