CHAPTER ONE.
The PROPHETS PRAYER.


'Kneel, John. Take off your hat,
lad. Let us pray!"
An old man and a boy chung like
wreckage to rock which marked
the outer edge of Black Reef. The
llickering light of a lantern accentu-
ated the gloom of the night; a night
famous in the annals OF New England
for the storm which tore the coast
from Quoddy Head to Sasconset.
The lanterns light revealed two fig
ures worthy the pencil of Hogarth.
Barred to the gale, the old mans scant
white locks streamed back from a
forehead massive and unfurrowed
Wonderful eyes of steel gray glowed
with fires of fanaticism beneath dark,
shadowing eyebrows scarcely touched
with the rhine Of years. The thin lips
parted in a line which suggested i'm
placable tenacity Of purpose, not halt
ing at cruelty nor stopping at cum
ming. Above the mouth, the head was
that of a Greek god; below it showed
the civilized sayage-salfish, relent-
less-the incarnation of courage,
strength and determination. The
mans frame was so bread that the
legs seemed stumpy, yet Peter Burt
stood six feet four at three score
years and ten.
His companion on this night mis-
sion to hurricane-swept Black Reef
was a boy of eight No fear of the

copper-toed boots. The ends Of

gale.
As the old man spoke, wave
dashed its icy spray across the rock.
IT'S awful wet. granddad. Can't
I stand up and pray?"
"Kneel, my boy, kneel," replied the
old man in a deep but not unkind

Essence ~ GRANGE Leaves.

A remarkable industry OF Paraguay
is the preparation of essence Of or
ange leaves. More than $50 years ago
the Jesuit priests, who then ruled that
secluded country imported orange
seeds and planted groves, which have
now become immense forests, filled
with small establishments for extract
ing the essence, which is exported to
France and the United States for use
in soap and perfumery making. 1t is
also employed by the natives in Para

Mrs. Elizabeth Martin started early
in life to feather her nest well, and has
always had her eye on the main
chance. She began life as Elizabeth
Bird Of Harrison county, near Paris,
Ky. Her first venture outside of the
home nest was when she married Bud
Martin. When Mr.. Martin died she
married Edward Crow, farmer. When
the time came to change nests she al
lied herself with William Robin, and
lived happy until the matrimonial sea-
son for Mrs. Robin again rolled
around. Then David Buzzard, a wild

socially than his name would indicate,
appeared, and Mrs. Robin became

pouting lips and rebellious eyes.

Just awful careful, COVE. There's

Jessie was spending her first sum-

she had been living in the Bishop
farmhouse. So many things had

Garden mansion in Boston had be.

distant relatives of General Marshall

been consigned the welfare of his
daughter, in special charge of q

Jessie peered over the rail and
watched the waters in vain for an

back and forth and threw sticks and
stones into the creek in a vain at

COLLEGE MEN IN INDUSTRY.
Difference Between Practical cns
Technical KNOWLEDGE.

An officer of pumping engine com
pany was recently asked whether col
lege men or men trained by practice
are better equipped for Industrial
work. He replied:
Everything being equal, the practi.
cal man is likely to know more than
the technical man about actual shop
work, but he is also likely to stop
knowing when he should go on know
ing"
This feeling is general. The old.
time apprentice, who developed into
an all-around mechanic, is being rap.
idly ousted by the modern technical
graduate who is q specialist. Even
the modern foreman is no longer the
product Of apprenticeship. The trade
school creates him.-The Worlds

Hush-a-bye baby, the night wind is

Around the bleak mountain, along

Hush-a-bye baby, the Banshee is cry
ing
IT'S often it cries near the homes
of the poor!
Hush-a-bye baby, tho the cold makes
me shiver,
Thou must have shelter-lie close
to my breast;
Tho my life Gibbs away like a fast
flowing river,
Thou must have warmth and COM
fort and rest!
Hush-a-bye baby, the sound of thy
crying
Pierces like dagger my poor aching
heart:
Hush-a-bye baby. oh, thou art dying
l will die With thee. death cannot
us part.
Hush thee. aroon, my darling, sure
maybe
Ills better, the cold grave will give
us that rest
The world has refused; but We'll meet
soon, my baby,
Never to part, in the Land of the
Blest!
Thou'rt hushed now, my babe, and the
night winds still signing
Around the bleak mountain. along
the dark moor;
Thou'rt hush'd now. my babe, but the
Banshee's still crying,
Too often it cries near the homes of
the poor!
flushed is the baby and hush'd is the
mother
flushed in the dreamless and cold
sleep of death:
And the Famine stalks on in search
of another
Poor victim to smite with its with
