1t was alleged that while on shore at

The sentence OF the court was that
Nicholson be reduced FIVE numbers in

Even then, although it brought a
kind of gladness to his heart, her

gaze fell unconsciously upon a large
picture leaning against her dressing
table. Gradually he became aware OF
a familiarity in the outlines, and
looked at it more closely-it was his
class picture; how did it come there?
he wondered. Crossing the room he
picked it up; a prominent hole in the
left-hand corner showed where the
head of one of the students had been
cut out-and, 10! It was his own! He
turned inquiringly to his wife; her
head was thrown back among the
cushions of the chair, and her hands
were closped above it. She was watch.

he was on his knees by her side, with
one arm thrown about her waist, while
the other drew the bright head down
till their lips met.

But she only wound her white arms
around his neck, and laying his head
upon her shoulder let her eyes meet

Cecel was not there. Hungry as he

and found that it was quite late. He
knew that he must pass long, sleep

JOKE WAS ON THACkERAY.
Rebuke to Tuft-Hunter Recoiled on the
Novelist

Justin Mccarthy says that Thacke-
ray often created erroneous impress
sions of himself by indulging in irony
in the presence of people who were
incapable of understanding 1t. One
curious instance which he gives is
this: "Thackeray had been dining at
the Garrick, and was talking in the
smoking room after dinner with vari-
Gus club acquaintances. One Of them
happening to have left his cigar case
at home, Thackeray, although disliking
the man, who was a notorious tuft-
hunter, good-naturedly offered him one
of his cigars. The man accepted the
cigar, but not finding 1t to his liking
had the bad taste to say to Thackeray:
1 say, Thackeray, you won't mind my
saying that don't think much of this
cigar? Thackeray, no doubt irritated
at the mans ungraciousness and bear
ing in mind his tuft-hunting predilec-
lions, quietly responded: You ought.
my good fellow, for it was given to me
by lord Instead, however, of detect
ing the irony, the dolt Immediately
attributed the remark to snobbishness
on Thackeray's part and to the end of
his days went about declaring that
Thackeray had boosted that he had
been given a cigar by a lord!"

When the day lies hushed and silent,

And the night, in robes of darkness,
Waiting earth hath softly dressed;
Then, me thinks, from out the shadows,

Come the voices long remembered,
Voices from another sphere.
And my soul holds solemn converse
With those spirit realms of joy,
Where, we trust, no sorrows enter
And no fear can bliss alloy.
And my heart stands still to listen
To the whispers from afar.

III f r. MI NIAT u n f.
by LUCY VAUGHAN FOWLER
Copwtghted 1908, BY The authors Publishing Company

The Reverend Houghton flung down
his pen and threw himself back in his
chair, utterly weary and respondent.
ITS all of no USE" he said, aloud, 81
can deceive myself no longer; | have
neither heart nor inclination for the
work"
Outside he could just see the girlish
figure of his wife, half hidden in the
folds of a large hammock in which
she was reclining; then, as II she had
heard him, the words of a hymn she
was singing fell in apt reproof upon
his ear.
The sweet voice died away, and an
expression of sadness came over the
bright upturned face, he had listened
breathlessly while she sang, for he
loved her with a depth of feeling
amounting almost to idolatry; and yet,
although she was his wife, she was as
stranger to him. She had opposed
their marriage till the very day on
which 1t had been solemnized, but he
had no. known it until the ceremony
was over-then, with burning cheeks
and dark, defiant eyes, she had told
him plainly that she hated him.
The revelation made, Cecel had
swept scornfully out of the room, and
left her husband with his bright
dream of love and happiness shat
tered. Six months had passed, and
during all that time, they had lived
together as mere strangers, treating
each other with rigid politeness when
the demands of social life or church
| work required them to be present to-
gether at some entertainment or meet
ing.
AS he sat looking at her now and
noted the sad expression on her face,
he longed to go to her, but he dared
not. Then Strengthening himself, he
took up his pen again, and resolved
that for her sake he would persevere.
Before he began again he glanced once
more at her, and started to his feet
Tor largo tears were standing in her
eyes, and she was trying to look
through their binding brightness at q
miniature which she held in her hand
He wondered vaguely whose 1t was
and spasm of jealousy smote him
as he saw her press 1t passionately to
Ter lips and then place 1t in her bosom
He turned away-the pen fell unheed
ed from his hand, and his resolve was
completely forgotten. In an agony OF
dispair he threw himself on couch

and long nervous strain, his eyes
