Nevertheless he had time to pause a
while in the shadow Of a wood, and look
up long at a window In the defenced house
OF Boatcroft, that Flower Cot to which
there never now gathered as OF yore the
blythe groups Of young wooers In the
cleaning. For, indeed, in these dark
latter days none were allowed TO enter
save only David and his three boys, the
proper litter Of the Old Grey Wolf.
John G~lendonwyn stood long in the shade
Of the hrwood before he strobe away de-
terminedly in the direction Of his manse,
with the air Of one putting impossible
things behind him. where. with his books
and his sermon writing. his light burned
long and long through the bleak and bitter
hours OF the morning.

Veronica pressed his arm q little in

in connection with his brother Rupert

But John was too sad Of heart to have

Veronica shook Johns hand silently, with
only the least little sigh, perhaps for an
old companion carrying a ssddened heart
and grave eyes into the darkness. She

II was to Falrlie a hard and a cruel ques-

He only stood silent amid David Glenden-

she thought). HE is like the other-now
that he considers himself the heir. l will

And a curious light glowed in the blue
syes. The shoulders Strengthened up with
a swift anger.
"If he wants me he must WOO me other
wise than that she thought, casting up
her proud little head.
And aloud she said: II will stay with my
father"
Now John Glendonwyn was sore driven

of this girl, without rest or sleep or food
or thought Of self. He had seen his brother
die IN his arms. taken him home and left
his father there like a man stricken down
in his strength. But John felt that Il was
neither the time nor the place to state his
objections TO the unfair dealing Of David
Glendenning. He only lifted his hat and
was turning away. gently and madly, when
Fairlie, taking her father by the wrist, sud
denly and strongly set his arm aside from
the doorpost.

voice, II would like to shake hands with

And bravely and simply, before her father
and brothers, she shook hands with John
Glendonwyn. Then she went in and shut
the door.

miles in the hour, up hill and down dale.
But when Anton had looked his sheep,

INDUCED in an operation which considerably
astonished his observant dogs.
One night in the week their tenor OF life
was altered. At 5 of the clock they were

When Anton appeared In the little yard
there were his collies Tod and Tyke.

their wise heads and thought. You can
easily see a good collie think. No pro-
lessor does 1t more obviously when asked
a question In class. He has no bible, for
there is no hump in his tail coat pocket.
So much against. On the other hand-he
has taken his red handkerchief out OF his

Governor Aycock offers $500 reward
for the arrest and conviction of each
of the persons who lynched the Gille-
spie youths, negroes, at Salisbury a
week ago.. The solicitor of that district
has spotted several of the lyncherS
and hence the reward causes quite a

five men in the party.

Il wish to call you attention to the
fact that last year in several counties
tax listers failed to list real and per-
sonal property of different corpora
lions within their respective counties,
supposing this property was listed by
his department. This is an error, I
wish to call attention of tax listers
to the fact that all real n personal
property, of what ever kind owned
by corporations in county, must be
listed by them. Only thing assessed
by this department is corporation it
self, value of capital stock, etc. If
this course has not been followed by
tax listers Of your county, see that it
is done at once"
