knew not which-and at the end OF the
third week Dick was up and able to ride
again. this time without the torked stick to
hold him In the saddle.
After this we went on without mishap,
and with no hardship greater than that OF
living solely upon the meat victual provided
by the hunters rife: and YOU who know

I was held a little back from slipping into

But when the strain was Off and Dick
was up and fit again. the misery OF It all
came back with added goadinss. 1 had
never dreamed how cutting sharp 'twould

to see her loving, tender care OF him. and
to hear him babble Of his love for her In
his feverish vaporings Yet all this I must
Ell dure, and with 1t thing even harder.
For, to make 1t worse, IL worse could be,
the shadow of complete estrangernent had
fallen between Margery and me. True to
her word, given in that moment when I
had besought her not to speak aloud for
her own safety's sake. she had never
opened her lips to me; and for aught she
said or did might have been q deaf-mute
slave beneath her notice.

MONKS IN KENTUCK u.

Seventeen Cistercian monks, who
were forced to leave the monastery at
Font Gombault, near Tours, France,
have arrived at Louisville, Kentucky.
They were brought here by the RI
Rev. Edmund Obrecht, abbot of the
TIappist monastery of Gethsemane,
Nelson county, KY. For the time be-
ing the Oistercians will make their
home at Gethsemane, where they will
be joined later by twenty three others
from Font Gombault, led by their
abbot An effort will be made to es-
tablish a Cistercian monastery in Ken
lucky. Father Obrecht, during his
recent visit to France, was active in
pressing upon the attention of the
French monks the desirability of
America as a place for the disbanded
brethren to reassemble and renew
their labors. He states that about 200
monks have signifed their intention
of coming to Kentucky this year. Not
all these will reassemble in monster
les, but many will be scattered and
placed as teachers.

THE FRANK DISASTER.

The recent landslide in Alberta, by
which the town of Frank was partial
ly destroyed, was due according to ex-
perts of the Canadian genealogical sur
vey, entirely to geological causes.
Turtle Mountain, from which the slip
took place. is very badly fractured,
and large masses of rock are continu-
ally falling. The mountain sides are
steep, ard there is danger of another
large slide. There will always be
more or less risk in living in Frank,
and the people should move as soon
as possible. (" The recent slide, esti-
mated at so, 600, 600 tons, consisted of
mass of rock, half a mile wide, 900
feet in height and from 400 to 800 feet
in thickness. The debris covers two
square miles of territory.

MAINE FEE LOSS.

swept districts of northern Maine in
dicate that the estimates of damages
by the great forest fires have been far
too low. John Cassidy of this city, a
lumberman, basing his estimates on
what is already known, says that the
total loss on standing timber alone
will exceed $40, 600, 000 Mr.. Cassidy
says that at least 800, 900 acres of tim
Der have been burned over, upon
which, at an average of 5000 feet to
the acre, there stood about 900, 600, 900
feet of timber. The stumpage is
worth from 81 to "a per 1000 and at
an average of SO per 1000 the owners
would lose in stumpage fees not less
than 50, 700, 900.
But, says Mr.. Cassidy, the actual
loss by the timber fires is far greater
than the value of the stumpage. The
loss to the various industries. from
stump to saw, must be considered,
and, taking it all together, he sets
the loss to the people on 300, 600, 600
feet at $40, 800, 600. The timber des-
troyed is an amount equal to four
years cut ON the Penobscot River,
and more than year cut in the en-
tire State.
