in such manner does the entry ap-

But it was nearly midnight before the
little party separated.
To his new guest Mr.. Carter gave
the room on the ground floor, which
opened from the music room.

Certainly" responded Randolph.
And, with a cordial goodnight, went

But left alone, with all writing ma,
terials spread before him, Mr.. Grant
sat idle.
Mere and more silent grew the house;
one by one the lights were extin-
guished. But still he sat motionless
and lost in thought.
Suddenly he started. A slight and
scarcely perceptible noise had reached
his ears. Some one was descending the
stairs.
His next action was wondrous
strange. Lowering the light, he
stepped behind one of the heavy cur
tains. which draped the windows.
Scarcely had he done so than the door
already ajar-was pushed open.
He could distinguish, in the dim light,
girls figure. standing on the thresh-
old. 1t was she who had been described
to him as mad.
Was it the old fear which haunted
him which caused his whole frame to
tremble at the unexpected apparition?
Cold beads of perspiration stood upon
his brow. His heart beat in great
throbs, which must, he thought, make
themselves heard.
Papa, guide mel" murmured the girl
aloud, in low. sweet voice-and moved
forward as though advancing directly
toward him.

Both Rather rIippant.

There is curious parallelism be
tween two stories told respectively OF
the late Mr.. Sturgeon and of Dean
Swift.
Mr. Sturgeon, on hearing of the dev-
astatlon wrought by an earthquake in
Essex, merely remarked, Il am glad Il
hear that my county IS moving al
last"
The dean of st. Patrick's, Dublin
was watching with friend the root
of building on which several men
were at work fixing states. Suddenly
one Of the men vanished. Thereupon
the dean turned to his companion and
said Il like to see man go quickly
through his work"

down, What change. In the palace
there 10 Ia ally worship twice day
and holy dr-ire for the welfare of
the people. In my interview, which
his majesty informed me was the first
ever granted to an American citizen,
as he sat on his throne of crimson
plush under a chandelier Of cut prism
glass, he said that the bad white men
are setting an example which is harm
full to his people. They claim, the
King went on to state, that our people
are not what they should be, but what
can they expect when the English,
with centuries of christianity behind
him, does worse than the Tongaman.
These white men often give intoxicat-
ing liquor to the natives and that IS
not right. They teach the brown
man immoral practices and do not
always deal honestly with him. This
conference with the King Of all Tonga
made me ashamed of the behaviour of
white travellers. In Harpai, n part OF
the Friendly Islands whore our ship
cast anchor on Sunday, the passen-
gers ran about with their cameras,
looking into churches and taking
pictures of the natives. The brown
people were worshiping God and
decently keeping the day, but the
partially drunken visitors We're not 80
civilized, il seemed to me.
As among the Samaritans so among
the Tongans there are more men than
women and more boys than girls, but
the recent census shows an increase
in population, which is good news for
it was long feared that this noble race
was doomed to go out of existence.
1t is noticeable that during times of
famine the Tonga population increases
and during times of plenty they de-
crease This was true up to the IN
PRODUCTION of canned meats, since
then the decrease has occurred during
scarcity. But now the advance Is
sufficient to insure u full population
at no very distant date The infidel
| must cease his attack that christianity
destroys aboriginal tribes. 1t is the
disease and unrighteous habits in
trodueed by infidels that cause this
dire result | am so glad that this
journey was suggested to me. Let us
work and pray.
