filled her soul. She was almost tempt

then at the approaching man. And
moment of Gethsemane came to her.
Then, white and courageous, she re-

secure. Then she in her boat and

against the powers of the river, in

George helped the trembling Cecil to

for long rest there among the plues
His name was Cecil Underwood
Barbara found it Impossible to resist
the charm of his personality. He SEEM
ed to make the whole world over for
her. In vain she struggled to remem-
Der the truth and patience and strength
of her betrothed. He was too well
known to her to be seen through a
glamour. With austere serenity he in
sisted upon an early marriage day. He
refused apparently to feel any jeal-
ousy at the constant companionship of
his sweetheart and Cecil Underwood.
And Barbara was angry at him for
this too.
He has no sensibility,'' she said to
herself.
One wild day when the wind cried
through the tree tops and the waters
dashed along as if in stress of pain
Cecil Underwood came to her in an i'm
perative mood.
You must come walking with me-"
he said. 1.-The day expresses me. 1

heart, and 1 will keep still no longer

Barbara went out with him. They
walked under the pines, whose roar
filed the world with their lamentings.
They were silent, conscious OF the
storm within their souls.
Let us take boat" said Barbara
when they had reached the river.

ed not to hear him and united her skiff
and leaped into it.
Come" she said. He hesitated, but
followed. AS the little boat felt the
lift of the waves the pain in her heart
seemed to tighten, and she let the cur
rent carry her along, unconscious of
the passage of time. Suddenly Cecil
cried out:
'"The rapids. Barbara! The rapidsl
See where you have taken uS!' She
glanced behind her. 1t was true that
the tossing white name of the water
horses was not more than half a mile
away, and the boat was quivering In
the pull of their great power. Barbara
smiled little. 1t would not matter to
her so much, she reflected, If her great
problem were TO be solved that way.
But. still, It was cowardly to die. She
set her fine young strength to n resist
ance, rowing up stream and inclining
the boat toward the southern shore.
SO absorbed was she in this task that
she did not notice the man with her till
she heard him crying, with wild inn
portunitics to his Maker:
Grow, Barbara, row. Row, girl!'
Then, looking at him, she saw his face
was corpse white and quivering with
fear, and the next moment he sank, an
inert heap. at the bottom of the boat.

She Was Very Foolish.

Some time ago woman died at
Dendermonde, near Client, leaving the
whole of her property to her niece,
Rosalie V. The latter was constantly
worried by the other members of the
family, who had been excluded from
the Inheritance.
Recently the young woman received
the amount of the legacy, consisting Of
% 200 franc notes $4,000 and the
deeds of a house. In the afternoon the
disappointed relatives again visited her
and worried her to such an extent that,
losing all control over herself. she pick
ed up the deeds and the whole Of the
bank notes and threw them into the
fire.
In few moments nothing remained
of the little fortune but few ashes.

A CHILD KISS.

ehe gave me a kiss, dear, sweet kiss
Twas only by girl Of tent
She little knew
That when she grew
She would not share them so with men
When at last the ripper years have come
And Cupids form appears,
And the favored cart
Strikes at the heart
Which must last through months and ysazs,
Perhaps it may turn out to be,
As others have done before,
The charm forget
In wild regret,
Repent and sigh for days Of yore,
With children near to hear the blame
On each it may chance to fan,
Not words SO dear.
But words that scar
God forgive for it all!
For such is life to many a wife,
And mistakes made all the while,
But give the bliss
OF a dear, sweet kiss
From tine innocent lips of child.

In the Plymouth congregation there
was at one time n woman who was Il

voice and a stiff manner of speaking.
Her long drawn out, dull discourses
wearied the congregation. But Mr..

reached the limit of endurance, and one
evening when she sat down, after talk
