night attack. Suddenly the music stopped.
 "Dae ye mind that? It was danced at yer coming O age"
 "Yes, 1 remember, Duncan. But play the march and sit down here beside me. I'm cold. It will soon be snow, Duncan"
 Duncan, whose head was throbbing with the effort in playing the reel, crawled down beside his laird.
 Aye; 1 think it will be snow afore mornin," he said.
 Then Piper Farquharson played marches and strathspeys, and in the cold and darkness death came to many of his audience. But as they fell asleep and their thirst was sated and their pain eased, their lullaby was, to them, the sweetest they had heard since childhood.
 Duncan could play no more. It was indeed only fitfully he had played at all.
 And the laird was passing.
 "Goodby, old man, and thanksw sighed the laird. If you go home, tell them I sent my love. I wrote to them all yesterday. Good'-
 There was a slight tinkle, the laird fell sideways. He had gone with his comrades.
 The dawn would come soon. Already the summits of the eastern hills were beginning to appear through the gray ness. Day was coming, and the night and those who had gone under It's blackness were now to be numbered with that which had been. Duncan, however, was only concern. ed about one thing. The laird was gone. He had asked him for a march. He should have one. Duncan rose, propped himself against the powder and stood over the body of his lieutenant Then over the veldt the low, wailing strains of "Lochaber No More" rose and swelled in the dawn, like the voice of a mother mourning with a sore ar. ticulate grief the loss of her children. It was well played. The infinite sor. row, the wild hopelessness of the mu- sic rang out over veldt and kopje, and the more superstitious among the Boers muttered that 'it was the wall. ing of the souls of the petticoat rooi- neks." It was probably Piper Farqu- harson's best effort. It was his last. The Boer sentinel in the advanced trench saw, as the dawn came, a rooinek standing facing him. He was petticoat and might have thousands
 behind him. The sentry brought his | rife to the present" It was an easy shot-a tall man, with no khaki tunic | to deceive the marksman. Then the | Mauser parked.

An old Salts Stories.

The captain of the brig was much disliked by his officers, and. being i'll with yellow fever and likely to die, the first lieutenant used to drill the ma rines In the burial service on the deck over the captains cabin by way of cheering him up, the corporal giving his orders in a loud voice thus: ''The corpse is now a-eoming up the 'atch- way! Reverse harms@ The skipper ultimately recovered.
 The commander of a certain gunboat used to say that, having no doctor on board, he mixed the medicines provid- ed in a chest into two bottles, and whenever any of his crew happened to be sick he drew an imaginary line across the mans stomach, and accord ing as the pain was above or below that line he gave him dose out of No. 1 or No. 2. He claimed that no man ever came to him twice, which was very likely.-"Hurrah For the Life of a Sailor" by Vice Admiral Kennedy.

 Christ's Gospel.
 When Governor Geary of Pennsylva- mia died years ago. lost good friend. He impressed me nightly with the horrors of war. In the eight hours that we rode together In the cars he recited to me the scenes through which he had passed in the civil war. He said that there came one battle upon which ey- erything seemed to pivot. Telegrams from Washington said that the life of the nation depended on that struggle. He said to me-: II went into that battle, sir, with my son. His mother and thought everything of him. You know how a father will feel toward his son who Is coming up manly and brave and good. Well, the battle opened and con- eentered, and 1t was awful. Horses and riders bent and twisted and piled up together. It was awful, sir. We quit firing and took to the point of the bayonet. Well, sir, l didn't feel like myself that day. I had prayed to God for strength for that particular battle, and went into 1t feeling that l had In my right arm the strength of ten gi- ants," and as the governor brought his arm down on the back of the seat 1t fairly made the car tremble.

I turned round to the troops and shouted, Come on, boysv and l stepped across a dead sol dier, and 10 1t was my son! l saw at the first glance he was dead, and yet l did not dare to stop a minute, for the crisis had come in the battle. so just got down on my knees, and l threw my arms around him, and gave him one good kiss and said, 'Goodby, dear and sprang up and shouted, Come on, boysp" So 1t Is in the Christian con- fiict. It Is fierce fight. Heaven Is waiting for the bulletins to announce the tremendous issue. Hall of shot, gash of saber, fall of battleax, groan- Ing on every side. We cannot stop for loss or bereavement or anything else. With one ardent embrace and loving kiss we utter our farewells and then cry: Come on, boys!

While the heart beats young, oh, the splendor of With all her eewy jewels on, is not 80 fair thing; The fairest. rarest morning of the blossom time of May Is not so sweet season as the season of today, While youths diviner climate folds and holds us, close caressed, As we feel our mothers with us by the touch of face and breast; Our bare feet in the meadows and our fsncies up among The airy clouds of morning-while the heart beats youngl While the heart beats young and pulses leap and dance, With every day holiday and life q glad TO- nance, We hear the birds with wonder. and with wonder watch their flight, Standing still the more enchanted, both of hear ing and of sight, When they have vanished wholly, for. in fancy, We fly to heaven with them, and, returning. still sing The praise of this lower heaven with tireless voice and tongue,
 beats young. While the heart beats youngl While the heart beats youngl oh' green and gold old earth Of ours, with azure overhung And looped with rainbows. grant us yet this grassy lap of thine; We would be still thy children through the show and the shinei So pray we, lisping, whispering, in childish love and trust, With our beseeching hands and faces lifted from the dust, By feryor of the poem, all unwritten and unsung Thou giyest us an answer, while the heart beats young.
