Thy wave hath swept it from us, and thy dark
Mantle Of years IN dim obscurity
Hath shrouded it around Time-what Is Time to

Fish Food.
From Public Opinion.


The microscopic creatures in parts Of the
Atlantic are massed SO thickly in the water
as to discolor the surface and give abund-
ant food for the whale and other animals,
For the purpose Of the herring and count
less other vertebrate fish, shell fish, and
zoophytes, the upper waters Of the sea are
in fact nutritive soup, teeming with food
exactly suited to their needs. These micro
scopic creatures are the basis Of all the
larger life of the ocean. and in a great de-
gree Of the growth and increase of fresh
water fishes. Some of these tiny creatures
are water f1eas. others are like carapaced
shrimps, others occupy shells like minia-
ture bivalves, others are forms Of the one
eyed microscopic monsters Of the ponds
the cyclops. All are Of prodigious fecun-
dity and proof against astonishing changes
Of temperature. and the eggs and young,
the microscopic offspring Of the water
midgets. pervade every drop Of the surface
ocean. the rivers and the ponds. Dead
vegetable and animal matter feed these eu-
tomostraca, and they are converted with
out further machinery into the food fishes
OF the world. or at one remove, when these
are eaten, as food for other fish, such as
the funny. the cod. and the mackerel which
follow the herring shoals. Nothing short
OF assimilation in the digestive organs Of
fish seem to kill these eutomastraca.

of babe Rupert There were also included
in the budget several letters from the late
Mr.. Rupert Glendonwyn to his friend War
ner, in which specific and repeated refer
ences We're made both to the marriage and
to the birth of the child
This my friend and / agree in thinking"
continued Mr. ingalls,, would have been
sufficient for the purpose which my client
has in view-that of putting the legitimacy
of his heir outside the limits of serious dis
pute. But it would be well to have in addi-
ton the signature of the other witness to
both marriage and birth-that of Mrs. Ru-

Mr.. ingalls, looked across to me as if he
expected that l would speak, but l waited
in order that he might invite me to do so.
1t was, however, John who spoke
Tell them what you know, Fairlie," he
said.
And it was pleasant thus to be ordered
by him before them all.
So l told my story as briefly as I could,
and when l had finished Mr.. Ingalls, said:
Then l am to understand that Miss Glen
DINING considers DR.. Warmers narrative
to be a fair and correct account of the
facts?'
Perfectly So" I said
Then l presume you will have no objec-
ton to swear to the fact" he proceeded in
an official tone. MY friend Mr.. McCrosty,
is fiscal of the county-perhaps he will put
the young lady on her oath before signing"
Which being done, l signed the document
in due form.

There can be no harm in your friends
also putting down their names as witnesses
OF the signatures of Dr. Warner and Miss
Glendinning.' continued Mr.. Ingalls,.
So after Veronica and John had signed
the latter carried the paper to his father
who traced the letters Of his name with
trembling hand, but determinedly and
painfully, taking quite a long time to get
the rubication to his mind
You will also witness Mr.. Glendonwyns
Wilt Will be better to have the same
names upon that interposed Mr. Nc
After these formulas had been carried out
Mr. Glendonwyn signed to DR.. Warren to
approach the bed. The surgeon did so, in
GUS manner If Rupert Glendonwyn at
times looked like a beautiful devil con-
irving mischief as l have said. Harold

That Is understood" said DR.. Warner
grimly, and went out to the carriag e which,
as we knew, was awaiting his convenience
in the courtyard.

Business Honor.
From Popular Science MONTHLY.

From Popular Science Monthly
There never was time when business
honor was so high as now; the whole COM
merclal fabric is based upon it, Whether
the moral sense has been quickened or ex-
perience has taught that honesty is the best
policy matters not-the fact remains that in
business man must be honest and honor
able; dishonest dealing is fatal Dishonesty
certainly exists as 1t always has existed
and as it always VIII exist until mans ma
ture changes 1t is no novelty for long ago
IL was asserted that every man has his
price. But there is proportionateIy less now
imam ever before. Ours is an age Of COM
merce, an age OF devotion to material
lhiles' out that devotion has none OF gross
ness nor is II any sense inconsistent with a
Just devotion TO higher things. Thus far
the argument has been largely negative. an
effort to show that this age is not worse
but possibly better, than its predec, ssors
Inc positive argument remains to show
that, because OF commercialism, this age
on the whole, is vastly better than its pre-.
decessors.

CHAPTER XII,
Kate's Last MESSAGE

Ihere was possessing silence In the
room till the door closed and the abyss Of
soft carpet, wide hall and outer dark
swallowed up the surgeon
Then we heard the voice Of Mr.. Glen
donwyn again, little firmer now, but still
weak and faraway.
Il would like to see my grandson" he
said; will you bring him forward?"
Kate rose and went swiftly to the old
mans side.
See she said. this is his son-I have
called him Rupert, too-Rupert Glendon-
wynn. But he has really no name yet, for
my father would not let him be baptized"
The brow of the old laird darkened omt-
nously.
Il have at least an equal right" he said;
moreover, 1 have no long while to live. I
desire that it shall he done forthwith,
John'
The son, so quiet, ready. humble, worth a
thousand of that other, was at his fathers
side in a moment.
Il educated you and put you into the
parish which you have despised and de-
serted" he said. II have no sympathy
with you or your work. But that is not
what L meant to say. You have not laid
aside your ordination vows with your ma
rochial ones. Baptize this child He has
no earthly father. l will present him for
baptism"
John looked down at Kate.
DO you wish it," he said softly.
She nodded a bright assent Indeed. I
have seldom seen her look so radiant and
happy-certainly not since Rupert came
that last time to Inch Jonet
OF course, she answered. In that clear,
sweet voice that was always to me like
the singing of a bird. "Rupert's father
wishes it-and-I am sure he himself wishes
1t, where he is!'
Old Gregory Glendonwyn laid his hand on
Hates head as she knelt by his bedside. the
youngling grasping arA stretching to get
upon his feet, which he was just beginning
to feel under him. For. like all the Glendon-
wyns he had been late in walking.
You loved him?" he said with a thrill
OF unexpected tenderness in his voice.
Il loved him-and love him!" she said.
