breath blew out the candle. Resting
| against his shoulder Joyce still Slept on,
and, lifting her III his strong arms.
John bore her swiftly up the stairs, nor
paused until he laid her on her own bed
Once while the dark head rested on his
breast, Johns lips had touched the
white face reverently, and that kiss re-
vealed his own heart TO him.
Through the hours from midnight to
dawn John Somers struggled with the
fever OF love. Bright visions of what
| life might be with Joyce always by his
j side We're swiftly clouded by the thought
of how impossible his suit was. She could
never love him with all the fifteen
years difference in their ages lying be-
tween. Morning found him worn and
weary: and it was pale face and heavy
eyes that Joyce brought to the break
fast table. Aunt Mary's heart yearned
over the motherless girl Almost in
silence was the breakfast eaten, a
/ strange constraint seeming to have
fallen on the little party Soon the
| hour of Jovce's departure would be at
| hand.
With fearful eyes she said her good
byes to the old farm and its inmates,
and, stepping into the carriage beside
| Cousin John, was driven slowly toward
the depot. Silently John drove along
the country road, his lips closed sternly
| Not once that morning had his eyes
; dared to meet the look in Joyce's, lest
he should break through his resolution
and speak words that might wound the
sensitive girl. Yet the thought of the
blank life would be without her filled
his heart with an agony of LONGING.
'Have done anything to offend you,
Cousin John" questioned Joyce at last,
unable to bear the silence any longer.
surely not, child. Why do you
his companion.
"You seem so unlike yourself this
morning, | thought perhaps-perhaps
:" Here ,Joyce's lips trembled, and
her eyes filled with tears.
Hush, little girl said John crush
ing her hand in his. ''You are making
it very hard, indeed, for me-
Joyce pulled her hand away little
impatiently. q am sure l don't know
what you mean: l know it's very hard
for me to go back to that old store
John laughed i'll spite of himself.
''1 on are hardly yourself this morning,
either, it would SEEM" said he, look
ing into the pale face and wondering if
she realized anything of the night be-
fore. Suddenly Joyce raised her eyes
to his face with a strange, earnest look
in their dark depths. John met the
glance with eyes from which his own
soul gazed with all its love. A swift
wave of color swept over the girls pale
cheeks as she turned away.
Il had such strange dream last
night" she remarked presently.
Johns heart leaped as he turned his
questioning glance on her, but he sim
ply said:
''Did you?"
Eyes: all about Halloween" !" and she
laughed.
Il dreamed that l walked down the
cellar stairs at midnight, with candle
and a mirror in my hand, to see who
| my husband is to be-"
"And did you see him?"
'Yes," answered Joyce softly.
WAS it strange or familiar face?'
asked John, impelled by power he
could not resist.
| Il have seen it BEFORE" still in the
same low tone
! "Was it one you could love, dear?"

AN old sailor named Bryan hoped
with bosun's chain into the weather

should be lowered from tile yard to
reeve off the spIlling Duntline.

New Zealand.
A Country Without Strikes. Paupers or
POorhOuses.

A Country without Strikes. Paupcrs or
Poorhouses.
The Church Review says: New
Zealand has done the most daring
things ever attempted by any modern
government. The New Zealanders
claim that New Zealand is a country
without strikes. Laborers and employ
ers have their disputes there as else
where, but the one cannot quit work,
or the other lock out workmen, pending
the settlement of the dispute in courts.
1t is also country without paupers or
poorhouses, for injured workmen are
cared for by their employers The aged
workman is pensioned by the Govern
ment as a soldier of industry worn out
in the ranks. The Government owns
not only the postal system, but the ex-
press service, the telegraph lines and
the railroads. Recently it has pur-
chased a coal mine to supply its loco
motives with fuel, ard it intends to
compete with private mines i'll the sale
of coal to the public for enough to keep
the price of coal down to a reasonable
figure
