than her companion, and her lace
was a wrinkled parchment whereon
Time had written some terrible les
sons.
She said gently, 1--WE are one with
the dead, beloved sister. Those who
lie under the chancel lay no safer than
we, last night, though the Pagans'
passing tread shook the ground we lay
on, and their songs broke our SUM-
bers."
The shadows deepened in the eyes
of Sister Wynfreda as she turned them
back toward the .aue, for her patience
was not yet ripe to perfect mellow
ness.
"The peace of the grave can never
be mine while my heart is open to the
sorrows of Others" she answered with
sadness. SISTER SeXberga, that was
an English band which passed last
night. l am in utmost fear for the
Danes of Avalcomb."
"'They that take the sword shall
perish with the sword" the old nun
quoted, a little sternly. "An English
man was despoiled of his lands
when Erode the Dane took Avalcomb.
If now Frode's turn has come"
Her companion made a gesture of
entreaty. 1T is not for Erode that
am timorous, dear sister, nor for the
boy, Fridtjof; it is for Randalin, his
daughter"
Sister Sexberga was some time ST.
lent. When at last she spoke, it was
but to repeat slowly, "Randalin, his
daughter. God pity her!"
Sister Wynfreda was no longer lis
tening. She had quilted her hold
upon the gate and taken a step for
ward, straining her eyes. Out of
tall mass of golden bloom at the far
Their end of the lane, an arm clad in
brown homespun had tossed itself for
one delirious instant. Trailing her
robes over the daisied grass, the nun
came upon a wounded man lying face
downward in the tangle.
When the united strength of the
four arms had turned the limp weight
upon its back, cry Of establishment
rose from each throat.
The woodward Of Avalcombi"
THE hand Of the Lord hath fallen."
After a moment the younger woman
said in a trembling voice. The whis
per in my heart spoke truly. Dearest
sister. put your arm under here, and
we will get him to his feet and bring
him in. and he will tell us what has

Innnrove the Canals.

A movement has been started in
several centers in Europe to improve
the canals, which have been neglected
through the influence of the railroads,
Just as they have in many American
states.
There are in France 5000 miles Of
canals. Belgium has 1,242 miles of
canals and other waterways. In Hol-
land the canals are put to more gen.
eral use than they are in other coun-
tries.
In England there are 1907 miles of
canals, and it has been pointed out
that the railway companies own 1876
miles of these canals. The railroad
companies keep the canal rates so
high that there is no competition be-
tween the canals and the railroads.
There are few canals in any country
that are not fifty years behind the
times.

Queer Feature of Drought.

A curious feature of the recent
breakup of the protracted and devas-

number of miniature volcanic explo-

parched and dry that it cracked. and
the fssures thus formed became the
receptacles of heated air. When the
long-prayed-for downpour of rain
came at last the water met the hot
air in these fissures, and little gey-

ed in moment Many farmers, hear
