old friend believed that he had cause
to fear him? But what had been
his own words on the subject?
you can ruin me, Silas, in the
eyes of my child, as well as in those

The question was, had he, at the
time, really meant what he said? Had
he, for an instant, believed him
capable Of such baseness as this?

self wondering whether his friend, the
object of these painful thoughts, who
occupied an adjoining room, was also
lying awake and indulging in unproit-
able reflections. Or perhaps he was
more pleasantly employed in thinking
of his daughter; anticipating their
meeting and picturing her as she
would be after FIVE years separation.
Whatever else he might, or might
not be. he was evidently an affection

Mr.. Burritt was getting sleepy at

There was nothing like indigestion

Then he slept, and as he slept he
dreamed a dream.
He thought he was lying on the

went sheer down many hundreds of
feet. But although he occupied such
dangerous position he felt no uneasi-
ness at first, only a little gentle sur

Near the Prussian town Of Magde
burg lies the little village Of Strobeck,
which has earned for itself an inter-
esting celebrity. The village contains
1900 inhabitants, who are one and all
chess players. They may be said to
learn the game in their cradles, for
among the first lessons taught to a
child by its parents are the moves in
chess and the first playthings 1t re-
ceives are chessmen. The smallest
children are to be seen in their play
time sitting quietly together with a
chessboard before them gravely con-
sidering the moves and in the even
ing the old people meet to play their
favorite game. At stated times in the
year there are chess tournaments in
which both the grown-up people and
the children take part, prizes being
given to the victors. Many people
come to Strobeck during these COM
petitions to watch the peasants at
their games. The children even re-
ceive instruction in chess in the
schools.

even affectionately, but his fatigue

but observe It.

We will continue the subject some

They turned TO leave the room to-

excitement caused by the meeting
with the old friend he had not seen
for so many years. At any rate,
whatever the cause, there was no
doubt as to the effect; for he found
1t impossible to sleep, or to do any
thing but toss from side to side, as
hour after hour YEARLY wore itself
away. BY some peculiar action of the
brain, he also found himself compelled
to review all the past scenes OF his
life, and mentally, step by step, re-
trace the path he had trodden during
those fifty years or so, which went
to make up the sum Of his existence
on this planet.
At last, in despair, he rose, and go
ing to the window, looked out upon
the night. 1t was very moonlight
night-too much so, in fact. There
was something almost weird and
CHASTITY in its effect. So he dropped
the blind with crash, and went back
to bed again, hoping that, this time,
he might be able to sleep.
But it was the same thing over
again. Only this time his thoughts
concentrated themselves upon his
family and his home life. He remem-
bered, with a sense of remorse, that
he had been a little-only a little
irritable at breakfast that morning,
and that he had spoken rather sharply
when Intercepted as to the purpose
of his sudden expedition.
Certain of his friends sayings had
grated upon his ear, and caused
chill feeling of dissatisfaction and re-
greet.
Thank Cod" he had said when he
heard of the deaths of those others,
cut off, more than one Of them, be-
fore they had attained their proper
span.
Mr.. Burritt turned uneasily in his
bed as he reflected upon this, and re-
membered that he was the only one
left who knew all. The only one his
friend had to fear To fear! Surely
that was not the right way to put it?
