received from him. He loved me still,
but 1t grieved him to say, only as
sister. In Eunice he had found his
ideal. Would not release him from
an engagement which, II consummat-
ed in marriage, would only terminate
in the ruin OF three lives He begged
me not to mention the affair to my
parents, as he would tell them himself
and thus spare me the ordeal Spare
me. All, my child. that would have
been nothing In comparison with what
| suffered then.
From that hour my whole being
was changed. No longer a happy
hearted child, but grave and thought
full woman. How little l knew that
at that very time, John was having a
fierce conflict with his own emotions,
as he read and re-read the letter sup
posed to have come from me. In the
far West 1t told him, L had found
another, and by the time he received
that, l would be wife. Would he
forgive me for my fickleness, and could
he not find some one to fill my place!
There was Eunice. l was sure she
cared for him, and would make him
happy
"You know the rest, child. He mar
ried her. She was ready and willing
to give him every encouragement; and
not until she lay dying did she con-
fess herself the author of these two
letters, and how fearful she had al
ways been that we would find out her
guilty secret, and by mutual con-
fession learn that in our hearts we
had always been true to each other.
OF course he wondered why l had
never married But she told him | had
been terribly disappointed, and not to
mention the subject to me. The letter
ment she received, instead of him.
Eunice was clever, very clever. It's
pity so many clever people don't put
their talents to better purposes.
"On the day she died, she called
him to her. john she said, my life
has been spared many years, but l
have not been happy. Knowing at last
that you would never care for me. as
you did for her, was wretched-a
fitting punishment for my sin--but you
have always been kind and faithful
husband, ard | could not die without
telling you all. When l am gone may
you be happy together. 1t is my last
request. John, promise me you will
heed it,
"Well, as you know, child, we were
married in June, although he Is past
three score years and ten, and l was
seventy instead of twenty as 1t was to
have been. That is all dear, and here
is John"

Robber Bees Despoil Hives.

To the person who knows nothing
about bees they represent the supreme
type of industry, says the London
Chronicle. But even the bee communi-
ties are disturbed by those ow their
own kind who break through and
steal. Robber bees are always a source
Of anxiety to beekeepers.
Having gathered no honey, or, at
any rate, an insufficient supply for
themselves, they will descend upon
hive, kill its industrious occupants and
carry off the golden treasure in an as
tonishingly short space of time. We
know of recent instance in which
the attack was developed and the home
bees killed in couple of hours. Some
times hive will attack neighboring
hive. In such cases the old straw
Skip" was better than the modern
arrangement, for knife thrust
through the top would break the comb
and set the honey free, at which the
thieves would instantly return to seal
up their own store. 1t is not primarily
in their industry that bees are human

Canadian discussion of the award
Of the Alaskan boundary tribunal has
dealt with the strategic islands owned
by the United States ON the Canadian
frontier. These are Isle Royal, in Lake
Superior, opposite Port Arthur, and
San Juan, opposite the city of Victoria
which commands the Canadian outlet
to the Pacific. The tribunal has con
firmed the ownership of the United
States in two islands at the mouth OF
the Portland Channel, near enough to
the proposed railway terminus at Port
Simpson to oversee everything that
goes on there. 1t is not likely that
for years to come, If ever, there will
be occasion to test the strategic value
of any of these islands, as the United
States intends to live in peace and
amity with its northern neighbor.

The conviction seems TO be general,
and justified, that this Is soon to be-
come world of machinery. Indeed, 1t
has become such, to marvellous ex-
tent, already, as regards all essential
affairs, from the manipulation of poll
tics down to the sewing on Of buttons.

100 years be any indication, no strained
mag nation Is required to see that fly
ing machines will some day be as com
mon rs cabs are now; that books and
news }apers will be superseded by ma
chinei Of the telephone and phono-
graphic species, and that the human
anatc my, by disuse of the physical and
development of the mental, will evolve
into n mere brain-boX. 1t is to be sup
posed that 1t will be a world in which
everything will be SO perfectly ordered
That it will run like well-oiled ma
chine There will, Of course, be no
poverty and no crime, and everybody
will BE- supremely comfortable-and
unspcakably bored. Strange-isn't it
| how we madly strive for mechanical
| inventions to secure us further ease,
and then, for our happiness, revel in
the memories Of our early days, when
these things were unknown and life
was sweetened and given meaning by
hardships and prlvations. What
prince of wealth, with all the new
| tangled machine comforts that money
can command, does not look back to
his boyhood days on the farm, with the
same warm corner by the kitchen stove
in the fall, as the only time of genu
Inc, soul-satisfying comfort in all his
successful life? For romance that ap
peals to the heart do we not turn tc
the rich old days Of stage coaches and

and the hoe and the sickle? There 1;
little doubt that the man who car

the future would rather die than live
in 1t. A world where everything IL
combined and used for some coldly
practical end, where the stimulus OF
want and ambition does not exist
where pleasure, not being productive

ence has totally eclipseti romance
would not such world be very soor

burst is exceptional, and its sequel has
strengthened tho hand of law every
where. The daily press has told the
story of the brief but murderous career
of four young bandits, whose record of
Siain has been seven in six months.
and the type of youth these despera
does are is generally appreciated. Ii
Is a type that breeds under laxity of
law, amid corresponding temptations
to wrong-doing, and is nurtured on the
fiction of a sensational literature. An
over-grown city, where criminal dis
cipine is defective, where rights are
not jealousy guarded, and where de-
linquencies in official life are endured
because correction is trouble, Is
favorable hot-bed for the culture of the
ultra-yicious type of lawbreaker. These
boys. of course, are not sui goneris,
desperate nature of their last stand
against law is extraordinary, ut least,
when such resistance is made within
sight of the glow of the lights of q
metropolis Of 100000 people. But as
their stand was desperate so was the
force of the law that moved against
them rcsolute and overwhelming. Law
moved at once-law in execution is
not like justice-passionless 1t had
the deaths of honest men to ayenge,
and one of them had worn the blue
coat of a policeman. SO law, aided
by volunteers of kindred mind. In The
face of great danger, grappled with
the beast at bay. 1t may all seem
a semi-savage epsode-perhaps it is
such. 1t certainly has no urban ameni-
ties about it. But the climax is salts
factory. Let any boy who is shaping
| career after dime novel lines pause
and reflect. He may thrill over the
perilous defense of the dug-out in the
Indiana sand dunes, but he will hest.
| tate over the causeless murder Of the
brakeman, and his blood will chill at
