IMMENSE BUILDINGS.
The main building of the university is of
Neo-Gothic architecture. It's dimensions
800 by 155 feet. 1t is five stories high,
and is built with two wings, and sur
mounted by magnificent dome gilded with
gold leaf. This dome is crowned with an
heroic statue of the Virgin-the statue of
Notre Dame. This beautiful figure is more
than two hundred feet above the ground.
and with its electric crown and crescent
at night, and by day the rays of the sun re-
hected from the sheen of gold beneath it
is visible for miles around On passing
through the main entrance the visitor is
attracted by the beautiful mural paintings
which illustrate, in eight panels, the life
story of Columbus. They are the work of
the famous Italian. Luigi Gregori, who
spent eighteen years at Notre Dame. In
the center of the main building is open
rotunda. In the floor is worked the seal
of the university; two hundred feet above
in the concavity of the dome, are seen the
alegorical figures eXquisitely wrought by
GregOri-Religion, Philosophy, Poetry, Sci
ence, Law.
on the second floor is the Memorial Hall
of Bishops, a unique and complete collec-
ton of the likenesses of all the preates
who have ruled over American diOceses.
Marble busts, fine old engravings and rich
oil paintings line the walls Here also are
many old manuscripts and autograph let
tiers. From the earliest Spanish mission to
the present day the relics of breviary,
missal and cross tell the story of the
progress of the faith. In the words of the
noted writer, John Culinary Shea, I'm this
collection is more material for real his
tory of the church in America than else
where is ever dreamed Of" 1t is the first
attempt in any land to represent and illus
trate nations whole episcopacy in such a
monument On the third floor is the library
of 900 volumes, composed OF classical and
modern works and books of reference Per-
haps no library in the country has more
extensive collection of Latin works of the
old Roman writer's and the Fathers of the
church. With them are thousands of Greek,
Spanish. French and German works. The
rest of the main building is taken up with
the executive offices, the offices of the
members OF the faculty and recitation

Duck-Hunting Season at Hand;
Sportsmen Prepare for Outings

the boat and without changing clothes went
on hunting and felt no discomfort from IL.
Experts say that to go duck hunting the
start should be made carly in the morning
and the boat should be taken TO where the
ducks are flying. The hunter then observes
carefully where the birds are staying, which
Is generally in what is called q "nyway."
The sportsman selects one of these and
takes his stand in place where there will
be sufficient cover to form blind. The
stand must also be close TO open water, so
that the decoys can be set. The decoy
ducks are made of wood, rubber or canvas
and are held in place by weights which are
iniatable- The decoys are set so that they
VIII have the appearance OF Hook reed
ing. After these are set the boat is got into
a bunch of cane or flags for concealment.
The hunter must get out and cut
cane and put il around the boat so that
any part of il which the standing cane does
not conceal cannot be seen. There is quite
trick in building these blinds, for they
must not be made too bulky or dark. They
must also have a natural appearance, Tor
there is no bird as observing as the duck,
and the least thing out of the ordinary VIII

LYING IN WAIT
After this is all completed the hunter

sound similar to the quack of a hen NAL
lard. The birds then begin to hover over
the decoys and it is the hunters opportu-
nifty to shoot. He should not be in hurry
to do this, for it is in quick shooting that
the majority of shots are missed. He should
not shoot recklessly and aim at the flock,
but he should mark one certain bird and
aim to kill it. The average hunter makes
a mistake In trying to make what is called
doubles-that is, to make two shots in
succession into single flock. When the
birds are flying instead of lowering over
the decoys the hunter should get down in
the boat and if he can't get a good shot
he had better wait until they come over
again. 1t may be said that one can hardly
shoot too far ahead of these flying birds,
for they go with such velocity that if the
aim is not taken considerably in the lead
of them the whole flock will be missed.
After the birds are killed the man has Ia

water spaniel. Many hunters prefer how

count of the little space the boat affords

faVorite books and his photograph, taken
with his favorite dog and there in the
drawer were his poor clothes, all laid away
and ready waiting for him on the day when
he should be free. She sat down at the
table and drew his writing-case towards
her. SO that she might live again through
his boyhood and through the time when
they had been together, living in lodgings
in London, and striving TO keep the wolf
from the door. There were letters from
their father and mother, and locks Of soft
hair cut from heads long laid under the
grass. There was inner pocket that she
had not noticed before in the leather case.
and from Ii she drew mechanically small
bundle of letters tied up with string, writ
ten in a handwriting that she did not recog-
nize She opened them, and her eyes,
caught by the first words, followed fasci-
mated, until she had read every line. The
date was four years earlier, and the change
of employers she remembered with a sick
ening sense ton of despair, for Frome had
given the event so different an aspect, and
when she had finished il she laid her head
upon her folded hands and burst into bit
ter weeping.
Dear Frome-I am distressed TO have to
tell you that l find on undoubted evidence
that you have altered the igures on a check
of mine to "A difference OF E15. AS your

at once, ard hold no communication with
me from hencefOrth. / am sorry for your
sister; she is worthy of better things than

JOSEPH HENDERSON"
Then came a pitiful scrawl from Frome,
written feebly and splashed with tears, full
of utter remorse and confession, and lastly
a brief communication from Mr.. Henderson
again:

So here was the truth at last, and with
it a generosity that was unparalleled. Gar
slime had never told her of her brothers
first fall How she loved him for it-how
she loved him Her heart was too full of
thought, and before she knew what had
happened she was out In the street in her
hat and cloak, with the letter IN her hand.
1t was raining now with thin drizzle of
mist that made the omnibus wet and dreary,
and herself i'm her thin gown shiver as the
wind caught her Ii was late afternoon,
and the lamps were lighted in the streets,
and the house in Hill street outside which
she paused was glowing from basement to
attic with electric light She passed in,
pushing her way past Doring, who gazed
after her open-mOuthed, and catching a
brief glimpse of the astonished housekeeper
lowering anXiousy outside the library door.
But until she turned the handle and entered
the room, closing the door behind her. she
felt no fear only the swaying of mighty
wave OF penitence and love that swept her
along with II.
The library was in darkness. save for one
electric jet that made a dreary illumination
over the chimney-piece and the fire was
black upon the hearth. At the table, with
his head upon his hand and his back TO
her, sat Garstine and at her step he moved
impatiently.

nothing" he said Il ask TO be alone-I-'

His name broke from her like a cry, and
she fell upon her knees at his side, her tears
raining fast upon his hand.

The Very Rev Andrew Morrissey is presi-

position he has held with honor since 1898.
He is truly a son of NotTe Dame. AS a
boy of twelve years he came TO the insti-
tuition already we'll advanced in his pre-
paratOry studies. During the years he was
a student he became thoroughly imbued
with the spirit OF the place. He distin-
guished himself for his ability in mastering
the classics and as a mathema tioian. He
has held many prominent places in the
faculty. To the fulfillment OF his office he
brings the resources OF a mind well trained
in all the requirements of his nigh posi-
ton. Father MoTrissey is widely known
as orator and as an educator.

that he deserved every moment of his pun
ishment. Oh, forgive me, and let me go away
worthy of even your friendship"
Her voice broke in the awful stiffness that
followed, and a sob shook her from head
to foot. So he would have nothing TO say to
her, and who could blame him? She turned
and strove amidst her binding tears to
rise from her knees, but he caught her i'm his
arms.
Esther" he cried. Good heavens.
Esther have you come back to mc?"
II am not worthy" she began but his
lips were on hers, and her words died under
his kisses.
"Essie-Essie-I loved you from the first
moment that L saw you! 1 shall love you
till / die"
And with a faint sigh of happiness she
yielded herself to his caresses, and knew
at last that life held nothing farer than
the love of good man.
When Sir Anthony Garstine brought
Esther home TO the little house in Spittle-
gate-road. Mrs. Liverscdge received them
at the door. and one glance at their faces
sent her into an hysterical burst of tears
and laughter, that ended in her throwing
her apron over her head and running into
the kitchen TO tell john.
But when later in the evening she was
coaXcd into the parlcr To hear the whole
truth, and TO be told Of the wedding that
was 10 take place Immediately. and OF the
lodge In the country that she and John
were TO occupy, her wonder and delight
knew no bounds.
BLESS you, Miss Esther, my dear" she
said. when L thought he a clerk i'm
an Office i was pleased, but now that you We
got all you deserve, it'll take me all my time
thanking heaven"
And so II came to pass that, although the
story OF Esther Melhuish's life began in
sorrow, yet the end of il was as full OF
happiness as the heart OF woman could
desire.
