in French at a terrible rate. DR.. Dor
rington went in there, after looking at
Nan, but neither one paid the slightest
attention to him. He might have been
in Halifax, so far as they We're concern
ed Finally, he asked Mr.. Valicombe if
he didn't think that he was talking too
much for a man in his condition.
'If 'twas>in English-yes," replied Pc
ter: but in French-oh, no! 1t will make
me well. Oh, 1 am much better at once"
And it seemed to be true. 1t was for
tunate for both the victims of the infec-
ton that they had little Miss Johns to
nurse them, aud ii was even more for
tunate that this young woman had been
taught how to nurse the sick by the good
Sisters at the convent. Her art in this
matter was revelation to Darlington. 1t
seemed to him that the vitality of the
girl was abnormally developed. No mat
, ter how long ahe had been on her feet
during the day. no matter how much
sleep she had lost, a sigh from Nan would
bring her to the childs bedside in a
flash, and she was as prompt with poor
Peter Valicmbe.
1t is unnecessary to go into all the de-
tails of The treatment which Zepherine's
patients received at her hands.
She insisted on having her own way,
and In almost every instance it turned
out to be the better way. This was espe-
cially true of her treatment of poor
Peter Valicombe. DR.. Darlington had
told her more than once that it would
be almost impossible for Mr.. Valicombe
to recover. Zepherine, however. insisted
that it was absolutely necessary that he
should recover. She chung to the idea
and worked in the light of it, and finally
her faith was rewarded. Mr.. Valicombe
became convalescent, and at the first sit

But as the cooler weather drew on
there came time when the visits of Mr..
Valicombe ceased. This was very pleas
ing to Nan Darlington, who was little
jealous of the Frenchman. Since her ILL
ness she was more devoted to Zepherine
than ever. And Nan was more beautiful
than ever. There was not mark on her
face to show that she had ever suffered
from that terrible disease, and it was all
owing to Zepherine.
And yet between Mans father and Zeph-
crime a terrible state of affairs existed.
This was owing in part to the jovial
Mr.. Sanders and in part to the misun-
derstanding that had arisen when Zeph-
crime had made her unexpected appear
ance as volunteer nurse. When Zeph-
crime returned home Mr.. Sanders was
the first to greet her, and his greeting
brought the blood to her face.
"Why, hello, honey" he exclaimed
I'm mighty glad to see you lookin' so
we'll. They tell me that you frailed out
the doctor cen about as soon as you
got in the door of the pest house. Well
I'm mighty glad to hear it; he's been
needin somethin' of that sort for long
time"
"Frail! What is frail?" inquired Zeph-
crime, albeit she had a dim conception
Of her own that it meant dispute.
Mr.. Sanders laughed. 81 bet you that
Randolph knows what it means" he re-
piled; "an' you couldn't a-whaled chap
that deserved it more
whale? Oh, I don't know what you
meant"
Zepherine was forced to fall back on
Sarah Clapton for an explanation. When
the explanation was given it quite took
Zepherines breath away.
ooh, 1 was rude to him." she said,

said Miss Johns, her face becoming pale.
ooh, if you care for me- please tell me. !"
Nan seized her in a furious embrace
"Oh, you sweet goose! Oh, you dearest!
Don't drive me crazy, l could tell you but
for Mr. Sanders. When he saw me com
ing from the shoemaker's he called me,
and asked me how much / knew about

great deal, and l kept on limiting and
asking him how much he knew. And

went the hand to the mouth again, and
nothing Miss Johns could say or do had
the effect of inducing Nan to tell what
she knew.

MISTAKES ON RAILROADS.
An Old Engineer Crashed Into a Pass senger Train Through
 BIunder.

Ut is a pretty easy thing to make a mistake in railroading,' said an old engineer as he thought of the recent wrecl1s on the Wabash and the Iron Mountain roads in which so many lives were lost, says the Mexican Her ald "As I understand it, these wrecks were caused by defective or ders. The train dispatcher sent out his orders directing one train to pass the other at certain station. The operator did not copy the order on his manifold book, as he should have done. Instead, he wrote it on slip of paper and handed it to the engi- neer, But in making the copy the operator made mistake and changed the name of the station. The collision was the only natural result.
 ssAn accident just like that hap pened to me once when l was work ing in the states. I received orders to pass a train at the next station. l was just pulling out when 1 saw the headlight of locomotive loom ing up close behind me. Did l jumpi I guess I did. The engines were bad ly smashed, but fortunately none of the passengers were badly hurt, as had reversed my engine before l jumped and the other engine was slowing down for the station when the collision came. An examina ton showed that the original order had been for our trains to pass at the station which I had just started to leave

SAMPLE OF BRITISH RED TAPE
An order Issued Sy Major General to the Effect That There Were
 No Orders.

Every once in awhile something is few of the reasons why our soldiers cannot travel as fast as Boers. One of the reasons, it is suggested, is that they are hobbled to some extent with red tape, says the London Ex- press.
 Here is military order which has just come to hand. It shows how at least one officer is wasting time and stationery:
 District orders by Maj. Gen. Boyce Combe, c. B., commanding Rawal- pindi district. Murree, Tuesday, Oc- tober 15, 1901.-No district orders were published yesterday. By order D. G. l.. Shaw, major, assistant ad- jutant general"
 This particular brand of mind that secretes performances like these cam not be expected to do much on the field of war. Catch DeWet? The military genius who did this couldn't t catch a cold at the north pole.
 The fact that an officer quartered in a wild island does a thing like this does not, o1 course. show that he did net win the battle of Waterloo or that the charge of Balaclava was not courageous. It is symptomatic, however. We can imagine the peo- pie who issued this order trying to put out fire or pursuing rebel. All the parties interested would die of old age before the printing presses and the pianos that they would take with them were packed up.

 Some difference of opinion exists among army officers as to whether Gen. Crozier's appointment is per manent or whether it is a detail of four years under the army reor- ganiaation law. The opinion of sew eral gentlemen versed in military law is that the appointment is per manent and that the detail of four years provided for in the reorgani- zation law applies only to the line of fcers detailed as chiefs of bureaus. 1 Gen. Crozier will not retire until 1919, and if the contention is sustained that his appointment is permanent, his term as chief of ordnance will be nearly IS years, and will preclude the possibility of any of the officers that ank him securing that grade.

WANT A WHITE AUSTRALIA.
Psan Adopted in QueensIand for the Deportation of Po1yne-
 sians

The movement to make "white" Australia is not receiving such gem eral approval as the Chinese exclu- sion has in this country, but it is none the less certain that yellow and brown labor must go from England's colony. The bill now being discussed in the commonwealth parliament permits the introduction into Queens land (the state most affected by the measure, for it is there that sugar is grown) during 1902 of 75 per cent. of the number of islanders (Polyne- sians) who return to their homes during the present year. Tn 1903 only 50 per cent. may return, and by 1906 there will be none in the col ony, for by that year all will have been sent back to their island homes, whether or not they hold property or can pass the education test, says the New York Commercial Adver- tiser.
 The chief opponents of the meas ure are the sugar planters and man. ufacturers, who say the white labor in the cane fields is much more ex- pensive and much less effective, and they promise the extinction of growing industry on which great sums of money have already been spent if it becomes necessary to rely solely on expensive and incompetent labor. Premier Barton's idea, how ever, is that by a system of import duties and bounties the sugar indus try may be so protected that the loss of cheap and efficient labor will not harm it.
