He oheved His Orders.

John was the new English butler in
the employ of Philadelphia family
When John first came he was told by
the mistress of the house that she was
always at home to her sister, who
was a frequent visitor to the house.
The sister in question wRs pointed
out to John on her next visit, and
the mistress was satisfied in her mind
that John would obey orders.
Every time the sister cRlle6 John

that she was, so John would nod and
profoundly bow her in.
But one day 1t happened chat his
mistress was out when the siHter

affirmative and bowed her In. Johns

Divesting herself Of her wraps, the
visitor began to look for her sister
but seeing no signs OF her downstairs
concluded that she was on one of the
upper floors, and went upstairs. OF
course, she failed to fnd her, and,
thinking that the butler might be
mistaken, went downstairs 10 inquire
of him again. She found him out in
the yard, and calling to him, asked II

as she could not find her in the
house.

AN INVITING PROSPECT.

VIII Canada in the next quarter Of
a century take the place Of the United
States as the great wheat exporting
section OF the western hemisphere
Everything points that way. In the
opinion of experts the United States
has reached high water mark as =
wheat exporting country. The In
creasing population over there has
reached the point when home con-
sumption is becoming annually great
er In proportion than the increase in
wheat production. As a matter OF
fact wheat production is decreasing
over there as the land becomes more
valuable and by reason Of the demand
for other forms Of produce for home.
consumption. 1t is said that the
wheat crop this year is not more than
70 per cent. Of the crop Of 1901 and
much below the crops Of 1902 and
1903. It is estimated that this year
the United States surplus for export
win not be over 10O,000,000, which is
less than any year since 1878 with
two exceptions. Not only Is this the
case, but a considerable quantity OF
the best Canadian wheat is being im~
ported into Minnesota and also Chi
cago.
All this tends TO keep the price Of
wheat near the dollar mark, and dol

attract farmers to the Canadian

The reduction of American exports
will have the double influence Of in

ing this an opportune time TO make

Margot paused in the doorway and
saw Jeans head raised with a bel

shaking with rage.

lar, dragged the boy from the chair

him. "Ah, mon Dieu! How can you

Etienne, as once before, released
Jean, and turned to face the speaker,
to whom the boy now rushed, cling
ing to him with a storm of passionate
sobs, coming partly from anger, and
partly from a bruised heart.
Margot had drawn nearer to his
side; and, as Jeans sobs ceased, the
three confronted Etienne, who now
burst into a loud. derisiVe laugh.
What can a bastard, and the
friends and champions of a bastard,
expect better?" he demanded, now
speaking deliberately, his pale face
distorted by malice.
Margot started Indignantly, an
angry fame springing tito her eyes;
and the lieutenant said In a low tone,
whose very calmness was a menace,
1T is scarcely the act of a gentleman
to insult the defenseless and the
dead"
Insult" cried Etienne, now letting
loose all the Walls of his hatred and
malignity. "Peste! How can he be

Few Applicants For Scholarships.

Columbia. Mo-. According to present
indications, the Cecil Rhodes scholar
ship, carrying with it an annual sti-
pend of $500 a year for three years
at Oxford college, will not be awarded
this year. The time for filing appli-
cations expires December 81, and Pres
ident Jesse of the university of Mis-
souri,, chairman of the committee on
awards, says that but three applica-
tions have been received and that It
seems very doubtful whether either
of these three young men will be able
to meet the requirements of the late
Cecil Rhodes, by whom the scholar
ship was founded. Last year there
were nineteen applications for the
scholarship, which was finally awarded

The disturbance brought Greloire
from his improvised couch at the rear

he pushed his head through the bro

be outside.

young man standing before the door,

looked at the face Of the soldier above

time in finding a hiding place in a
grove, not far from the house.
At the tidings of his fathers death,
A new expression came to Etiennes
face, srftening its GOODNESS; but this
quickly changed when, in reply to his
query as to who was in command of
the escort, Greloire answered, Lieu

An oath that made both soldiers
stare burst from the young mans lips.
II will go to my apartments" he
added, with a return of all his haughti-
ness; land do both of you see to it

With this he stalked through the
hall, and up the stairway, shuddering
as he passed the bloOd-stains upon the
floor.
Etienne's steps on the upper stairs
and along the oaken.fioored hall
brought Tatro to the door Of the room
where lay the two wounded soldiers,
one of whom was evidently dying,
while the other was sleeping quietly.
"Ah, Monsieur Etienne, is it you.

"Pardon-Monsieur lie Baron" he
burst forth in a quavering voice, 1T

Somewhat softened by the old mans
words, and now realizing more fully
the horrors of the night before, Eli

fashion. But when he ended by or

his rooms, Tatro's face showed a sur.
