CHAPTER XIV.

Mr. Cowley shook hands with Mar
jorie-decided, after his first glance Mt
her, that she was nice sort of girl,
and then dismissed her from his mind
entirely. He was burning for an I'M
interrupted ten minutes conversation
with his nephew, alone, that he might
relate the wonderful things that had
befallen him. Few men could boast
of having seen three real ghosts, one
after another! And Marjorie, like the
other women, was sadly in the way
just then.
However, there was no help for it..
Tea was waiting, and Mr.. Cowley,
junior, fell to work upon the mullins,
and ham, and tongue, like man who
had tasted all the way from Australia
When the cloth was taken away, his
uncle breathed freely again. The la
dies sat gossipping together before the
fire. The worthy banker rose, nudged
Charles in the side, and whispered,
Come with me a moment" Charles
followed him from the room, merely
pausing at the door to give nod and
wink. expressive of great enjoyment,
to the group he left behind
Mr.. Cowley seized his nephew by
the arm when they stood in the hall,
and dragged him up the stairs. A
lamp was burning in the turret-cham-
ber-a fire blazing on the hearth. See
ing this, as he opened the door, Mr..
Cowley started back with a look Of
extreme surprise.
why, those born fools cannot think
Of putting you here to sleep" he
calculated.
why not?" asked Charles, looking
extremely innocent.
why not? The jades! I'll have
no tricks played off on people under
my roof l know 1t is the fashion to
put the guests in the haunted room,
to see if there really is a ghost there;
but, by George! we want no such tests
here! They shall give you another
apartment-it is like their impudenca
to get this one ready.

Five Talen Is.

The last man to go for a helping
hand for any new undertaking is the
man who has plenty of time on his
hands. 1t is the man and woman who
are doing most who are always willing
to do little more.
The people who are tired of life are
not those who work, but those who
are too proud or too lazy to do so.
Many of the rich are morbidly rest
less, while those who have to earn
their daily bread are comparatively
contented and happy. The Bible says
that the sleep Of a laboring man is
sweet, whether he eat little or much. !"

HARD TO WRITE TURKISH.

Words on Paper.

Few Foreigners Are Able to Place Its
Words on Paper.
Arabic words, phrases and express
sions, as in the case of the Persians,
were freely employed by the Turkish
writer's. So the original Tartaric. or
Turkish, dialect of the Ottomans,
blended with the refined, melodious
tongue of the Arabs and the sweet and
harmonious language Of the former
followers of Zoraster, formed what Ia
today the literary language of the
Turks. Hence the variety In the ex-
pressions and the richness of tho words
of the Turkish literature. While In
the European languages Latin and
Greek words are merely used as a
foundation stone upon which the re-
spective national words are built. the
Turks, on the contrary. employ almost
to an unlimited extent Persian and
Arabic phrases in their original shape.
Hence, again, the difficulty OF master
ing the literary Turkish, which neces-
states also the study Of the other two
oriental tongues.
This variety Of languages. coupled
with the difficulty Of the union Of sem
fences into the one so-called Chain"
which is unknown to any European
language, renders Turkish one Of the
most difficult Of the living tongues Of
the world. To be able to write well in
Turkish, or, to use their own express
sion, to be a good 'kiatib" (writer)-

accomplishments that a person can

CHAPTER XIV.

When and where, indeed? She could
not hope for meeting so romantic as
that of her two cousins had been; and
yet, in what other way could her lover
seek her presence?
For you must bear in mind that the
parent birds had no idea that their
scarcely fledged nesting had tried her
wings in so bold fight. Rose in
love! Rose, who had scarcely given
up playing with her doll! The thing
was simply absurd.
So the young lady sat alone in her
room, and stared at the letter, and
wondered what on earth she should
do, and wished she had a confdante
who would give her some advice as to
the best way of extricating herself
from the dilemma 1t would not do
to speak to her mother, and Catharine
would only laugh at her. At last she
thought of Marjorie, who had a ro-
nance of her own, and thereby would
know how to sympathize with another.
She went.
She found the lady alone in the tur-
ret-chamber. Charles was smoking a
!. cigar, in fear and trembling, in one of
1.-THE empty attics, and at the same time
'Ygetting a /eath Of fresh air. So Rose
had her cousin all to herself. and told
her tale without much loss of time.
Marjorie listened silently.
"Well,' she said, when Rose had
finished. "the old fairy tale is true

"If you had been 1t would not have

''Ah, yes
THAT is frank and to the purpose.
Why did you let him go?'

Rose. firmly.

CHAPTER XIII.-(Continued.)
Words cannot express the pain you
have given me tonight" he said; but
let 1t pass. You are free, and l have
no right to reproach you. Goodbye,
and God bless you. Rose!"
He kissed her hand, but she snatched
1t away and sprang into the carriage
She felt annoyed and out of temper
When she reached home, she went up
into her own room and stood before
the glass. 1t was a very fair face that
she gazed at-he had often praised 1t,
and she knew her power well.
"And he thinks I am going to beg
and pray for forgiveness, does he?"
she said, tossing her head wilfully.
I'VE shall see. after all, what crime I
have committed, that need to trem-
BILE and shrink from his eye. Tomor-
row will not-tomorrow will show
him that If he chooses to play the part
OF a tyrant, | do not intend to take
that of serf. He had better fetter me
at once"
In that mood she went to bed.
But ah! we should be very careful
how we part with those we love. even
though they only leave us for a few
hours. Do they always come back?
OF IL they do come. do we always know
just how we shall meet them? 1t may
be as utter strangers, for aught we

have loved each other dearly as they
said goodbye, and yet within three
months they stood face to face as cold
ly as if they had never met.
But the case of poor Rose was even
worse than this, for Mr. We're never
came again.
She had preserved discreet silence
as to this episode in her history on
her return home. No one had ever
heard her mention Mr.. Vere's name
not one of her own family ever knew
that such a person was in existence.
Her woman's pride came to her aid.
She learned to live without him-to
be happy without him; yet he was not
forgotten.
And on this morning, when she sat
in her own room, thinking of the past,
she had letter in her hand from him.
1t had been forwarded with others
from Mecklenburgh Square. The sim.
pie words set her heart beating, so that
she could scarcely see:
"Rose-I was too hasty and harsh
with you long ago. Time has taught
me that there is nothing so precious
as your love. If | have lost It, am
coming home to try and gain it again.
sGod grant may not be too late.
Ever yours.

Seeing God Face to Face.

Only glimpses of God have We in
this world, but what an hour it will
be when we first see him, and we will
have no more fright than feel when
| now see you. 1t will not be with
mortal eye that we will behold him,
but with the vision of cleansed, for
given and perfected spirit. OF all the
quintillion ages of eternity to us the
most thrilling hour will be the first
hour when we meet him as he is.
This may account for something you
have all seen and may not have under
stood. Have you not noticed how that
after death of the old Christian looks
young again or the features resume the
look of 20 or 80 years before? The
WEAKNESS is gone out Of the face; there
is something strikingly restful and
placid; there is pleased look where
before there was a disturbed look.
What has wrought the changer
think the dying Christian saw God.
At the moment the soul left the body
what the soul saw left its impression
on the countenance. | think that Is
what gave that old Christian face after
death the radiant and triumphant look.
The bestormed spirit has reached the
harbor; the hard battle Of life is ended
in victory. The body took that look
the moment heaven began. and the
curtain was completely lifted and the
glories Of Jehovah's presence rushed
upon the soul. The departing spirit
left on the old mans face a glad good

TWO STRIKES.

Columbus, May 2S.-Secretary Saw
age Of the United Mine Workers of
Ohio, has returned from East Palestine
Columbiana county, where he visited
the miners of sub-district No. 4, who
are now on strike.
The scale for dead work" is the
bone of contention. There are 400 men
out of work, and according to the secre-
tary's statement these will remain idle
until they attain their ends.
Information was received at the To-
cal headquarters of the miners to the
effect that a strike was in progress at
Tippecanoe, Tuscarawas county. where
the men of one mine, so in number,
laid down their tools because the oper-
ator refused to pay the scale.
This trouble has been coming on for
some time, the miners keeping at work
thinking that the mine owner would
increase the wages. The state Off
cials will visit the scenes of trouble
the first of next week and endeavor to
satisfactorily adjust the matter.

JUDGES ORDER STANDS
Riehiand County Papers Can
not Publish Proceedings OF
Fleming Trial.

Mansfield, May 2S.-A special yenire
of six additional jurymen has been
drawn for the Fleming case which will
be commenced to-day II is not unlike
ly that a venire of six additional
jurymen will be drawn. There are now
fourteen regular jurymen and this
would make twenty-six jurymen to Sc
lect from.
Great care will be taken in the Sc
lection of jury and 1t is safe to say
that May s. Fleming will be tried on
the charge of forging $3.50 order on
the sanitary board by an utterly un-
prejudiced jury.
Judge Wolfe stated that his order
restraining the newspapers from the
publication of anything that would
prejudice the Fleming case one way
or the other would stand until after
the trial unless modified after the jury
had been impaneled. AS the order
stands the county newspapers will be
UNABLE TO PUBLISH DETAILS
of the trial. 1T is not my wish to cut
the public off from reading the details
in connection with the trial." said
Judge Wolfe, but my whole intent Is
to secure a fair and expeditions trial Of
this case. After this case is over l
am willing to make my apology to the
public" Judge Wolfe stated that it
had been his intention to issue an
order to prevent the publishing Of
anything prejudicial to the Fleming
case before he was requested to do SO
by Hon. w. s. Kerr, attorney for MIS-
Fleming.
The Shelby Republican, weekly
newspaper of Shelby, published in its
weekly edition of Thursday the con-
tents of a couple Of letters published
in Mansfield paper. The matter was
brought to the attention of Judge
Wolfe. The order applied to all the
papers of the county as we'll as the
Mansfield papers. When asked in re-
gard to the matter, Judge Wolfe said:
when / issued that order | did not
mean that it should be violated" The
bold Shelby editor may be given an op-
portunity to explain to the court al
though Judge Wolfe has not expressed
himself on the subject.

DEMURRER !
SUSTAINED
The Mayor Renders q
Decision.
ORDINANCE ILLEGAL
Case Brought by City Against
Alleged illegal Distribu-
tIon Of Advertising
Matter,

Mayor Robertson has sustained the
demurrer in the case Of the city Of Can
ton against Louis r. Angove, who was
arrested few weeks ago on the charge
of Illicit distribution of advertising
matter. Mr.. Angove stated at once his
determination to fight the case and re-
tanned Mr.. Welty who filed demurrer
in which he set forth that the ordi-
nance Ia unconstitutional. In sustain
ing this demurrer the mayor holds that
the ordinance is illegal and without ef-
feet. City Solicitor Hughes has had an
exception noted to the finding and may
take the case to the common pleas court
on error.
The ordinance regulating the distrt
buting of advertising matter was pass
ed by the Canton council in 1898. 1t
provides that all persons who desire tc
distribute any advertising matter or
any samples in the city shall first apply
to the mayor for an annual license.
And it further provides that no such
license shall be issued to any person
who has not been resident of the city
for three months. An ordinance of
this kind practically precludes timer
ant advertising men from distributing
their bills or samples and is intended
to turn all of the business into the
hands of the regularly licensed dstri-
butors.
Under the mayors decision anyone
may distribute samples or advertising
matter Of other kinds without fear of
prosecution.
