DRIFTING MlSTS.


Mr.. Drouhet's back again, sir.
Mademoiselle's at the cottage, too"
Antoine said, while hustling around
the sideboard with ice and lemons and
various decanters. Jack laughed.
The mists of the marshes beckoned.
and he followed
Nearing the cottage on the knoll.
Jack drew a long breath of utter and
perfect content.
On the steps leading down into the
tapping water stood a slender young
girl waiting for him, as he had SO
often seen her in his dreams.
'Ah! Fauvette! Fauvette!" Jack
whispered.
The, church will be a bower of
flowers. And we will have grand music
and the children will have tables set
out under the trees, and the whole viii
lage will rejoice" Pere David said,
joyously looking with loving pride
at Tonic. as she stood on his narrow
porch with Jack Hamilton the next
day.
And listening to her gay, sweet
voice and loving plans for the future.
Pere David whispered voiceless
prayer. S. RHETT ROMAN.

Diamond. Forming In Hawaii.

According to an English expert, dia-
monds are in process Of formation in
Hawaii. He spent much time and some
money following up the first indica-
tions that attracted his attention. In
many respects, he says, the formation
here is like that of the diamond fields
of Kimberley. But after researches he
came to the conclusion that the pro-
cess has not yet gone far enough, but
is still going on, and that In the
cohrse of 100000 years or so Hawaii
will be great diamond field.

ter-the day was lost in the marshes
Do you remember? She saved my life
took me to her fathers house."
Jack almost forgot his audience as
the recollection of that day and hour
came back.
1T was the merest accident in the
world, her coming at that late hour
in that unfrequented bayou. 1 was
worn out and l was lost.
She came down in the bayou sing
ing some church cant in her glorious
voice, then piloted me home, and
saved my life." Jack concluded.
abruptly.
Are you engaged. Jack? What does
Madame la Comtesse say?"
Il came with message and note
from her" Jack said, putting his hand
in his coat pocket. THE wedding will
be very quiet affair. In small
chapel, near her old home. But the
Baron de Morillac and her aunt want
in Brittany, and you are to be sure to
come over for the rejoicing. 1t will
take time to restore the old pile. It's
a magnificent place. You must promise
to be there when the home fires are lit.
Will you?"
will we? or course we will"
Julie saved your life, and she is BEAU
tiful, and l wish you and her-all
happiness. Goodbye"

1t was at the close of winter. Just
one year since Jacks rescue.
When Jack Hamilton sprang up the
steps his was an ELUSIVE greeting
from Antoine. who announced special
culinary preparations in his honor.

Foxe. as Household Pets.

The kia lie, or the household fox, Is
favorite pet of Chinese women,
who are also extremely fond of a va
riety of the Angora cat. The ordinary
cat Of southern China is. like the
Manx, tailless. 1t is occasionally used
for food. but it is not so popular as
horse and dog flesh. When raised for
the table it is fed on rice and vege-
tables. 1t is believed that misfor-
tune will surely follow the one who
has his cat stolen.

Maude Seton was furious with Jack
Hamilton for his absurd conduct of
the night before.
Its easy to see, my dear, how and
why she has taken society by storm.
/ wonder if Jack Hamilton had met
her before? His attentions were en-
tirely too conspicuous said Julie.
He knew her before Where could

Maude Seton bit her lips and a
CLEAN of distressed anger flashed from
her handsome eyes.

TWO CHURCHES DEDICATED.
st. Mary's at Seaforth and st
Anne's at Wabasso.

will be long remembered by the
Catholics and all the citizens sur
rounding the quaint and prospecting
town of Seaforth, this county. De-
spite the heavy and steady down.
pour of rain that had fallen every
day the last week, making the roads
well nigh impossible, the sun shone
out on this Sunday morn in all its
glorious splendor and throngs OF
devout worshipers were seen from
Redwood Falls, Belview. Granite
Rock and Westline, joining the en-
tire Sheridan congregation, for the
solemn dedication of their beautiful
new st. Mary's church of Seaforth.
Precisely at 1890 a. NJ. V. Rev.
FIR. Stariha, Vicar General OF St.
Paul Archdiocese, clad in surplice,
stole and cope, with the pastor, Rev.
). J. Woods Of Redwood Falls, on
his right, preceded by the cross
bearer and procession of altar boys,
started to the vestlbule of the new
edifce, where the prayers pre-.
scrib bed by the Roman Ritual were
said. Thence the priests led the
way all around the Few church,
praying and aspersing the new
building, while the people followed
in like manner. Only the priests
entered the church first and after
the Litany Of Saints was said anc
every wall and window was blessed
Rev. FIR. Woods announced to the
people that the new church was
formally open for public worship.
High mass was then begun at II
a. NJ, with Rev. J. j. Woods as
celebrant. The Redwood Falls choir
took charge of the music: for the
entire day, under the leadership O.
John Lauterbach. The music of the
mass was E. Marcos LIST Mass in c.
which the choir rendered efficiently.
Immediately after the gospel, when
Willard s Veni Creator had been
sung, Vicar General Stariha
read the gospel of the day in Eng
lish and German and preached his
sermon in the German language.
The English sermon was by the
pastor, Rev. ]. ]. Woods, who said
in part:
''St. Mary's church of Seaforth
was an edi6ce of which no man
might feel ashamed. It was an
honor to the town, credit to the
community aud amonument of devo-
ton and self sacrifice, which speaks
we'll for the onward march of Cath
olicism in this vicinity. This church
is the outward expression of Faith,
and for that reason the cross is
visible on every Catholic tower,
whose silent finger, tapering gently
to the skies, makes US realize
throughout all the vicissitudes OIL

It is also the symbol aud ground

CHINA ACCEPTS
The Demands of Joint Note
from the Powers.
Emperor by Imperial Edict Authorizes
Prince Ching and Earl Ii
To Negotiate and to Ask Tor Suspension Of
HostiIities.

Pelzin, Dec. Gothic Chinese plen.po-
tentiaries have been unexpectedly or
dered to sign the preliminary joint
note, and have notified the foreign en-
voys to that effect.
The Chinese themselves were great :
ly astonished at receiving the imperial
instructions. Neither Lii Hung Chang
nor Prince Ching had expected success
in persuading the court under 10 days.
The Emperor's instructions are to
agree fully to the note, but to endeavOr
to get the best terms possible, particu-
larly in the matter of limiting the num-
Der of the legation guards and also as
to the places where these are l5cated
The plenpotentiaries are instructed
to endeavor to limit the number of
army posts along the line of railway
to as few as possible, and finally to
request the powers not to destroy the
forts. but merely to disarm them.
Ii Hung Changes health is bad and
it is doubtful whether he will be able
to do more than affix his signature to
an instrument delegating his powers
to Prince Ching until another pleni-
potentiary has been appointed. He was
uTeSStu, tIiiS UltIUlllS, anu cdTTlcu Ill
chair to the residence of Prince Ching
with whom he held long consultation.
Prince Ching then called upon the
doyen of the diplomatic corps. the
Spanish minister, Senior DeCologan,
and requested him to notify the other
ENJOYS that instructions had been re-
ceivcd from the Emperor to sign the
note.
