hills which surround the ford and
look down the Northern Sea.
1t was just at the time when the
country is crowded with tourists who
come from all parts of the world to
admire the midnight sun.
Tim Wessbull, the tall, broad-shoul-
dered mate, sat on the piazza with
Aase. the widow Rolla Regenholm's
daughter, who wore a costly pearl
necklace which he had brought her
from India. She was beautiful as
classic goddess. but cold and naughty
as marble statue. Tim had fallen in
love with her when he came back
after an absence of two years, and her
mother, though she had hoped to see
her married to richer man, had ad
vised her to accept him.
"You better take what you can get,
Aase. You will not always be eight
cen, and you may not have another
Offer
So Aase had accepted him and the
honest sailor was happy.
How sad it is that you must leave
so soon,' she said. I'VE cannot even
go to dance together in the village.
yes, it is sad, Aase, and three long
years will pass before we see each
other again, but when do come back,
we will have enough to get married. -
well, three years is no eternity,
and l will think of you often
Next to him sat Hella Regenholm,
Aase's fifteen-year-old cousin, an or
phan, who was being brought up in
her aunt's house. Aase's hair was as
dull gold, while Hella was dark. She
gave promise of great beauty. She
looked pityingly at her cousin, who
kissed Tim good-by, and thought as
she saw him leave: How big and
manly he looks" and felt so sad for
him that he should love her cousin, a
heartless f1irt, who cared nothing for
him.
The time passed, Aase went to every
dance in the village, while Hella was
busy at home, making nets for the
fishermen. wondering how any girl
could care to go to dances without her
sweetheart.
One night Aase came home very
late. She was out of humor and spoke
angrily to her mother

One day during a storm the Russian

Tim, who was an excellent swimmer,
jumped after him and rescued him,
but pneumonia set in and Ivan, who
realized that he was dying, made his
last will, witnessed by the captain and

ELEPHANTS ARE DYING OUT.
Only Two Thousand in CeyIon, 1t Is
Estimated.

Only Two Thousand in Ceylon, 1t Is
Estimated.
In the new Ceylon Handbook and
Directory an interesting record is
that of the export of elephants from
the island during the past forty-one
years. In 1903 there were only eight
of these pachyderms sent out of the
country, one to British India and sew
en- to Germany.
The price paid for these animals
was 1900 rupees, giving a modest
average of S25 rupees each. A roy
atty of rupees 200 per head was i'm
posed in 1873, and the number of ele-
plants exported, which had fallen low
before then, dwindled in the next few
years to three and even to one. In
1882 the royalty was reduced to Rs.
100, in the hope that business might
revive and encouragement be given to
supplying the new demand for Ceylon
elephants in the Continental menag-
cries. The Rajahs' courts in India
had previously formed the chief mar
ket for them The total number sold
in the time treated of was 2,225, or
an average of Sc per annum.
Mr. Alfred Clark, an expert, esti-
mates that there are now only 1000
elephants in Ceylon. The royalty in
1891 was again raised to Rs. 200.
Whether the effect of this will be
to permit the animals to increase in
undue proportion to their available
haunts or that sportsmen shooting
elephants will counterbalance the de-
crease in the export remains to be
seen.-Lahore Tribune.
