So this mighty empress chose to be
Jealous of a mere woman prisoner!
Now my mind has been trained to
work with soldierly quickness in
these moments of stress, and 1 de-
cided upon my proper course on the
instant the words had left her lips.
1 was sacrificing myself Tor Atlantis
by order of the high council of the
priests, and, if needful, Nais must be
sacrificed also, although in the same
fash a scheme came to me for saving
Iwould avail my Sell o tssaes or
whatever they might be called, that
lay within the image of our Lady the
Moon that my priestly knowledge had
taught me would so act upon my love
that though she be buried beneath
the great rocks, yet she could not die,
but sleep only, and that my power
would again awaken her when oppor-
tunity offered.
So L bowed gravely before the en-
press, and said I: ''In this, as in all
other things where mere human
hand is potent, I will carry out your
wishes, Phorenice." And she on her
part patted my arm, and fresh waves
of feeling welled up from the depths
of her wondrous eyes. Surely the
gods won for her half her schemes
and half her battles when they gave
Phorenice her shape, and her voice,
and the matters which lay within the
outlines of her face.

ANOTHER MAN ALTOGETHER,

Valley, Mo-, Feb. 24th-There is a
man in this town who has undergone
a most remarkable physical change
in the last few months.
His name is Perry Nelson and those
who knew him but a short time ago
are amazed at his present condition.
He had not been feeling well for
some time and suspecting that the
trouble came from his kidneys, which
he knew were not any too strong, he
determined to try kidney medicine.
Dodd's Kidney Pills were highly
recommended and Mr.. Nelson began
a treatment of them. He was re-
warded by complete restoration to
vigorous good health. He says:
Il used six boxes of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and they have helped me a
great deal. I feel like another man
and can recommend Dodd's Kidney
Pills very highly"

CHAPTER XI.

THE BURYING ALIVE OF MATS
There is no denying that the wishes
of Phorenice. were carried into quick
effect in the city of Atlantis. Her mod
ern theory was that the country and all
therein existed only for the good of
the empress, and when she had a desire,
no cost could possibly be too great
in its carrying out.
She had given forth her edict con-
corning the burying alive of Nais, and
though the words were that | was to
build the throne of stone, it was an
understood thing that the manual la
Dor was to be done for me by others.
Heralds made the proclamation in
every ward of the city, and masons,
laborers, stonecutters, sculptors, en-
gineers and architects took hands from
whatever was occupying them for the
moment, and FASTENED to the rendez-
vous. The architectschose chief who
gave directions, and the lesser archi-
tects and the engineers saw these car
ried into effect. Any material within
the walls of the city on which they set
their seal was taken at once without
payment or compensat ton; and as the
blocks of stone they chose were the
most monstrous that could be got,
they were forced to demolish no few
buildings to give them passage.
I have before spoken of the modern
rage for erecting new palaces and pyra-
mids, and, even though at the moment
an army of rebels was battering with
war engines at the city walls, the
building guilds were steadily al work,
and their skill with Phorenice's mar
yelous invention to aid them) was con-
stantly on the increase. True, they
could not move such massive blocks of
stone as those which the early gods
planted for the sacred circle of our
Lord the Sun, but they had got rams
and trucks and cranes which could
handle amazing bulks.
The throne was to be erected in the
open square before the royal pyramid.
Seven tiers of stone were there for a
groundwork, each knee-height deep,
and each cut in the front with three
steps. In the uppermost layer was a
cavity made to hold the body of Nais,
and above this was poised the vast
block which formed the seat of the
throne itself.
Throughout the night, to the light
Of torches, relay after relay Of the
stone-cutters and the masons and the
sweating laborers had toiled over
bringing up the stone and dressing it
into fit shape, and laying it in due po-
sition; and the engineers had built ma
chimes for lifting, and the architects
had proved that each stone lay in its

A WEATHER SONG OF HOPE.

The rain is in the valley-the mist is on the
hill,
But the soul is IN the sunshine, and the
heart is happy still;
For love is ever springtime, and knows not
wintry chill,
And the world will be brighter in the
morningi
The river has no music as 1t ripples to the
sea,
But the soul is in the sunshine, and as
happy as can be;
For love is ever springtfme, with the bios
SONS blowing free,
And the world viii be brighter in the
morning!
What though the skies are solemn, and the
singing-birds have flown?
Love knows sweeter music than the birds
have ever known;
For love is ever springtime, and the roses
are his own,
And the world will be brighter in the
morning!
Oh, love it is that leads US from the sorrow
of the night
To the beauty of the morning-to the
splendor of the light;
And every garden blossoms, and every sky
is bright,
And the world will be brighter in the
morning!

No Doubt of If

The inmates of Yorkshire asylum,

gagged in saving wood, and the at
tendant thought that one old fellow
was not working a hard as he might.
The old man had turned his saw up
side down, with the teeth in the air,
and was working away with the back
of the tool.
Here, I say" called out the at
tendant, what are you doing? You'll

The old fellow stoppet and looked
at the attendant contempi,sously.

''No, of course I haven't"

A WESTERN CANADA
FARMER.
Seven Years Ago He Had But $24;
Now He Has Seventy Head
Of Cattle.
This Is What Couple of Eastern
Farmers Learned When on Re-
cent Trip to Canada-SpIendid
Words About Saskatoon,
Rosthern and Hague Dis
trict Where They
Will Locate.

Messrs. j. q. Blum and j. Grumper,
Of Manchester, Washtenaw Co., Michi-
gan, paid a visit to Alberta last sum-
mer and saw there a Mr.. Shantz, one of
the good old Pennsylvania stock, who
had come recently-some seven years
ago-from Ontario, with $24 in his
pocket. He has certainly prospered
as he now owns over 70 head of cattle,
has good log house framed over,
also a good barn and in all respects
looks a thrifty and well-to-do farmer.
He had some good crops of oats and
barley. After spending some days in
Calgary and Edmonton they returned
to Regina, Assiniboia, and looked
around the country North to Lums-
den and Balgonie where the crops APP
peared very promising and heavy, con-
tinuing up the Regina and Long Lake
Road they came to Saskatoon on the
crossing of the South Saskatchewan
River. Of this district they say
"Ihe country here pleased us better
than any we have seen. We drove out
eighteen miles in northwesterly direc
ton through the Smith settlement.
. This is a wonderful district, the growth
was splendid, all kinds of grains and
roots were perfection. The older set
tiers had good buildings of all kinds
and looked very prosperous, in fact
we came to the conclusion thatwe had
found what we were looking for, "a
good country. While the nature of the
soil changes and is in some parts light,
in others stony, and again heavy, gen
orally speaking it leaves nothing to be
desired. Hay and water are also in
abundance and wood can be found
along the river slopes and islands.
We have decided to locate there and
shall certainly advise our friends to
do likewise. We also trust that this
report may have the effect of draw
! ing the attention of land seekers to
this district, and can honestly advise
all such to locate there. They will find
a good thing. AS farmers ourselves,
from a good district in Michigan, we
have come to the conclusion that prop
erly farmed Western Canada will grow
almost anything" Ask for informa-
ton from any agent of the Canadian
| government.

just and perfect place. Whips cracked d,
and men tainted with the labor, but
so soon as one was incapable another
pressed forward into his place. No
delay was brooked when Phorenice had
said her wish.
And finally as the square began to fill
with people come to cape at the pa
geant of to-day, the clippings and the
scaffolding were cleared away, and
with it the bodies of some half-score
of workmen who had died from acct
dents or their exertions during the
building, and there. stood the throne,
splendid in its carvings, and all ready
for completion. The lower part stood
more than two manheights above the
ground, and no stone of its courses
weighed less than 20 men; the upper
part was double the weight of any of
these, and was carved so that the
royal snake encircled the chair and the
great hooded head overshadowed it.
But at present the upper part was not
on its bed, being held up high by lift
ing-rams, for what purpose all men
knew.
1t was to face this scene, then, that
/ carfe .sVt from the royal pyramid at
the summons 6f the chamberlaips. in
the cool of next morning. Each great
man who had come there before me
had banner-bearers and trumpeters to
proclaim his presence; the middle
classes were in all their bravery of ap-
parel; and even poor squalid creatures,
with ribs of hunger showing through
their dusky skins, had turbans and
wisps of color wrapped about their
heads to mark the gayety of the day.
The trumpetss proclaimed my com
ing, and the people shouted welcome;
and, with the gorgeous chamberlains
walking backward in advance, | went
across to scarlet awning that had
been prepared, and took my seat upon
the cushions beneath it.
And then came Phorenice, my bride
that was to be that day, fresh from
sleep, and gorgeous in her splendid
beauty She was borne out from the
pyramid in an open litter of gold and
ivory by fantastic savages from Eu-
rope. her own refinement of feature
being thrown up into all the higher
relief by contrast with their british
rgliness.s One could hear the people
draw a deep breath. Of delight.as their
eyes first fell upon her; and it is easy
to believe there was not a M n in that
crowd which thronged the square who
did not envy me her choice, nor was

us five thousand five hundred bal
ance taking maximum figures count
ing nothing for favorable premium

part to build walks, fences, etc.
These figures we considered conserv-
ative and well within our means,
The board thought further chat in
view Of the fact that prices Of prop
erty desired would be advanced
when it became known, that it was
the part Of wisdom to quietly get
prices in advance on blocks within a
radius of proposed site and il such
could be found low enough, to pay an
option to secure same and thereby
save the city several hundred dol
lars. In pursuance of this the board
appointed Monical and Emerson a
special committee on sites who went
to four real estate agencies and gave
them list of properties they desired
figures on, giving each to understand
that the board would pay no commits
sion. 1t was under this arrangement
that the M. A. Hamilton was secured
for s55OO and an option of $1,000 put
up by the board on same. Since this
has caused considerable comment
and criticism no further action on
sites has been taken by the commit
tee or board.
The board stands on the PROPOSE
tion that this purchase was a most
fortunate one for the city and the
more it is investigated the palmer
viii its advantages appear. Proper
ties all around 1t were investigated,
and, in our judgment this was the
cheapest, as well as the most desir-
able, piece of property offered. Al
to criticisms and charges connected
with this transaction, we invite the
fullest investigation-turn on the
light and if anything rotten or wrong
is discovered, expose it.
The School board is no more inter-
ested in the erection of school houses
than any other citizeu, but the fact
that there are over 1900 children in
scholastic age to be housed in either
modern-well equipped school build
ings or in shacks as heretofore, Is a
question that is constantly before us
