Military Stamn Eiend.

One of the most persistent stamp
collectors in the ranks of philately is
an expert and dashing fighter in the
United States army, Capt. Joseph NJ.
T. ar'ello, Fifth infantry, military
governor of the province of Abra, Lu.
zon. The captain has Just started on
his return to Luzon ,jter short visit
to his home in Washington. His col
lection contains over 10000 stamps,
and as he had not seen it in four
years, the interest with which he
pored over the books was intenseL-
amounting almost to a neglect of
spousal and parental duties. His
daughter accompanies him back to the
Philippines. In his sojourn there
iince 1898 he did not miss opportuni.
ties to pick up few of the Malabon
issues from the insurrectos, and these
considerably enhance the value of his

Lord Saiisbury's Literary Talents.

Lord salisbury's Literary raien.A
Lord Salisbury comes honestly by
his literary talents. His father was
an eccentric character, who had a
writing mania, among others. Abra,
ham Howard records that the elder
marquis used to "secrete a good deal
OF poetical matter" His method of
securing a circulation was certainly
original. This was by Slipping print
ed copies of his verses into the great
coat pockets of the visitors at Hat
field, and by himself throwing them
all into the market carts" 1t is ru-
mored in England that one of the chief
reasons for Lord oalisbury's recent re,
1irement was his desire to leave a per-
manent record of his Impressions of
Queen Victoria, Bismarck, Gladstone,
Lord Beaconsfield and other notables.

An :r1shman's Advice.

IN speech in London the other
lay Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman
told an admirable story Of the advice
given by an Englishman, Scotchman
and an Irishman respectively to a gen.
tleman whose servant was constantly
breaking articles in the household
The Englishman said to the employer:
'Oh, get rid of him-dismiss him."
The Scotchman's advice was: stop
the money out of his wages" "But,"
said the master, he breaks more than
his wages amount to-" "Then," said
the lrishman, raise his wages"

mony when he heard his son had obtained
a site for his church in the village of Cover
itself-no other, indeed, than that house and
garden which he, Gregory Glendonwyn had
bestowed upon the faithful Baby Lock-
hart and her heirs for her care and dill
gence IN rearing this ungrateful son.
1t was Factor Halliday who brought the
news TO his master and he had entered eX-
pect1ng to provoke a great outbreak of furi-
Gus anger. None, however, came, which
disappointed him. Gregory Glendonwyn sat
with gray set face thinking, and the
factor had perforce to slip out with no
news to carry either to the servants hall.
or to the higher vehmegerecht of the head
gardener, the head gamekeeper and the
chief forester of the estates, the vassals
and vavasours of the feudality of Cover.
Now to such pass had this hatred come
that the matter of Gregory Glendonwyns
thinking was frigEtful even to himself.
NO he was repeating over and over to
himself. mot if l disown him-not If l am
compelled to use against him the last
weapon in my power, shall a penny of my
money, penny of my wifes money be
spent on defying me, brow-beating me in
the face of my own people. l will show him
what it is to thwart his father to join him
self with beggarly showmen and political
mountebanks. He has given up the stipend
of his parish. He can have little from the
company of scarecrows and beggars who
will dare to favor him in Cover For the
rest-l will keep him from ever getting a
penny out of the Cover estates. He has

What dull fusionleSs place Scotland would

1t was striking sight which greeted
John that glorious June day, high-arched
and Respondent of sun. From every side
the people poured mall making for the
village only slender sprinklng of the
utter bondsmen to Gregory Glendonwyn
and few staunch pillars of Kirk and state
to be seen making contrary trickle in the
direction of the steepled knowe beside the
empty manse.
They are come out to see what shall be
done" said John; 80 much is well. But it
will not last-it cannot last!'
Nevertheless for that day his heart was
sufficiently eiate within him. For he
thought, AT least l am not wholly alone
in this hour of my trial.
The brief entry underneath is taken from
the diary of one who was present upon the
occasion and shows the effect produced by
the young minister's first appearance a
field preacher:
Il went to the Old Quarry Hole and found
strange thing. Many of the country lads
and cotters from the farms had been cut
ting out and arranging seats, some on the
bare rock, some on quarry stones eXcaVated
but abandoned, and still more on an ampi-

he known that down on the edges of the
woods opposite kilgcur, near that shining
white speck to which his eyes turned so
often. still apparently smokeless and life
less in the morning sun, there was a girl
who had slipped out of a shut and dark

watch and to pray.

a square, white-walled manse on the oppo-

CHAPTER XXXII.
Nee Tamen Cousumebatur.

That was strange Sabbath day in Scot
land when in four hundred and seventy pull
pits there was either silence and emptiness
or the voice Of stranger-nothins like 1t
since the ''Drucken'' parliament of toe re-
stored Charles stilled the kirk services over
all the south and west and set the heather
on fire with those field-preachings which in
time were to bring down the mighty from
their seats.
The disruption was accomplished The
ministers had done their part--wouid the
people follow them, or, like the kirk jack
DAVIS, blde by the Waa'S?" 1t was a day
of testing.
Breakfast at the Herds House of Ben
hangover was silent meal that morning.
John Glendonwyn was thinking of his first
service as minister outside The Kirk Of
Scotland The Cameronian elder, having
done the thing which alone was in his power
to do, was silent out of sympathy-a very
fine gentleman was this herd CT BennaH-

At last the hour hand of the great eight
day clock approached II, and i would take
the better part of an hour to reach the
Quarry Hole in front of the Village of
Cover where the service was TO he held
The Cameronian and the self-outel min
lister walked still and silent together until
they reached the little stile where the road
down to the quarry separated from the
track which wimpled EDWARDS through the
heather toward the town of k!igour.
There John and the elder shook, hands
ana looked moment in each others eyes
the look which meant, Good speed. Go
thy way-a good way. though not mine"
And so do men differ with good and COM
mendable differences about religion through

of Cover no more stole up and listened.
1t was the Cameronian elder who was
speaking.
Thou with whom is all wisdom and di-
rection,' he was saying. grant to the
young man this day that he may speak Thy
word, without fear in all simplicity in the
love Of it. Be a mouth unto him and wis
dom, and raise up about him an hearing
people in this parish of Cover that needs

John stepped back. The Cameronian was
pleading for him, but he had no right to
listen to the words. They were not ad-
dressed to his ear. Yet as he wendell his
way up the little brown tric1les of sheep

And Gregory Glendonwyn being a man of
action rose up at once and proceeded to
carry out his threat
For a great idea had occurred to him a
thought at once so striking and far-rea CHI
ing, yet so notifying to his own pride
that only the desperate hatred which he
had been cutivating against his son in his
heart could have brought him even to con-
slider it.
