half covered with drifting snow. Dick
urged his horses nearer and discerned
in the doorway dark figure, then he
caught the sound of a voice

stop?'
"Myra" he cried and flung the reins
down and ran to her.
"Why, Dick Harwoodr' She held out
both Of her hands, and then while he
held them in his warm clasp she broke
down and explained, with little sob
bling gasps:
II started from the station before the
storm thought 1 could get home, you
know, and then it started-and at last
took shelter in here, hoping that some
one would pass and give me ride, and
you are the first person who has come

Dick flung the door open and went
into the schoolroom. The rows Of bat
tered little desks confronted him spec
trally as he lighted match and touch
ed it to the ready laid fuel The flames
leaped up and at once began to give
out comfort
Nov, you get warm while l go and
look after the horses" said Dick
There is shed back Of the house,
and 1 can cover the team with the old
robes and give them a feed of corn
I'll be back in a minute"
When he returned he found that she
had drawn an old settee before the
fire. She sat in one corner of it, with
her face pink in the reflected glow.
Dick noticed the whiteness of the
hands that she held in front Of the
blaze and the CLEAN Of gold in the hair
that rippled under the modish turban.
He brought in several packages and
laid them beside her.

Starved! Oh, you blessed boy! You
were taking home groceries" And she
held up box Of biscuits
He thrilled at the sound of her old
name for him. How often she had
called him her blessed boy" in the
days before she had become ambitious
for a career!
''It's SO nice to see you, Myra,'' he
said as he rummaged in the little cup
board over the teachers desk.
Nice! That isn't the word for the
way feel" said Myra from the settle
Il was just dying to see you-all." She
added the last word quickly as Dick
whirled around and looked at her, with
his soul in his eyes She did not meet
his look, however, and he. turned away,
with little sigh. do you like it in

"Um-mm!' she murmured.
'Does that mean yes or mop" He
had broughteout little kettle and
teapot and was filling the kettle with
water from a covered pail that stood
behind the stove.
Both she laughed. 1T like it and
don't like it,
What don't you like?' he asked.
ooh, it's all SO cold. Every one
thinks of himself. Why, Dick, I might
live and die with twenty people in the
same house and not one of them would
know it until the undertaken came.
That is the trouble mo one cares, no
one cares" she declared passionately.

kidney trouble

nioiiSy lioUDlS.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their BEGIN
ming in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild

modations Of the monastery had been
assigned Even the leading British adj
vocate of union between the Anglican
and Orthodox churches Jared no better.
An Englishman and myself were, as
far as 1 know, the only foreigners that
went and we were made to feel that
our presence was undesired. Notwith-
standing this, and the discomforts we
shared with peasants wearing sheep
skin coats and birch bark footgear, we
were richly repaid by the opportunity
to study Russia at close range, and to
witness a marvellous manifestation of
the faith that expects and creates mir
acles.
The function of canonization called
together camp meeting of more than
one hundred thousand people, a verita-
BILE nation assembled in faith, a theo-
cratic witenagemot. Besides at least
ten myriads of peasants, artisans and
small adesmen-Russian accounts
say $50 OOO-the ceremonies demanded
the presence of the imperial family,
mobilized an army corps and no incon-
siderable number of police, and at
tracted host of civil and military dig
nitaries and clergymen Of all grades.
The complicated action and interaction
of the autocratic, bureaucratic and
hierarchic machinery of church and
state were laid bare to an unusual ex-
tent The Emperor and the court Wis
tied the haunts of the hermit, and
drank and laved themselves with wa
ter from the miraculous spring beside
which his hut was built. His uncor-
rupted remains were placed in a costly
casket beneath massive silver canopy

gifts of his Majesty, and the monastery
was proclaimed a seat of miracles, q

The WOrd Picnic.

The derivation of the word picnic is
uncertain. In London Notes and Que
ries of 1858 attempts were made to
trace its origin.
One correspondent says:
Under a French form the word ap-
pears in speech of Robesp.erre, 'C'est
lei kqu'il doit m'accuser, ct non dams
les piquesniQues.' An earlier instance
occurs in one of Lord Chesterfield s
letters. dated October, 174S.''
Another writer of the same date
tries to trace the word from France
into Italy. Starting with the assump-
ton that piquenique in French implies
a party at which each guest provides
some particular dish or performs some
special duty, he finds the Italian ex-
pressions nicchia duty and piccola "a
trihing service), and from these he
coins piccola nicchia (picnic).
A French encyclopedia, 1913, has it
that the word is compounded of the
simple English pick Ito choose) and
nick Gin the nick of time, on the spur
of the moment). In France the term
is also used for indoor picnics.

There's a craze among us mortals that is

remained in the lock. The captain

With surprising quickness he had

the water at the lower end of the hole.
Then he climbed out through port

the roll in the sand at safe distance
from the vessel, climbed back through
and joined his boys who were prison
ers on deck. But before he had hidden
the parchment upon which the ships
register was made he had turned
through it quickly. His eyes had
rested upon two names. This brought
from him the ejaculation:

a SONG.

When pallid Dawn comes mp the sky,
And Day and Night for moments brief
Touch hands and lips. the waking Sea
Bethinks her Of some ancient grief.
Haggard and wrinkled, gray and grim,
She means the burden of her care,
The ghost of that wild thing that leapt
BY day the winds wild sport to share.
Belize the voices of the dead,
Tossed in her boundless charnel caves
Since mans first ship was drawn to
death,
Haunt her above her beating waves.
Or else there presses on her heart
The weight of immemorial age,
Before the sun brings back to mind
Her youths eternal heritage.

not been man OF toll.
When the hair was pushed back
from his face broad intelligent fere-
head was exposed. Had those fisher
men been able to read phrenological
signs they would have discovered that
the aged man before them was no or
binary being. His intellectual fore
head, small feet and hands. dress and
general appearance indicated that he
had followed one of the professions.
In the meantime the village physi-
clan arrived and aided in resuscitating
the old man. The child gradually
passed away to sleep after it's wants
were satisfied and slept as soundly as
if its own mother still hovered over it.
1t was soft sweet sleep such only as
is seen in the repose of the innocent
before the trials and tribulations Of
life have come to their knowledge.
1t knew not of its lost mother and
father, the fearful storm at sea, the
hours in the water, the terrible night
among the driftwood on the beach. 1t
slept in repose akin to perfect bliss.
'She's darling little GIRL" said
child's clothing with the little sleeper.
"What pretty blue eyes she has,"
remarked she who had warmed the
milk.
"Such dainty little limbs" said the
woman who had run about the plare
nervously trying to do everything and
had accomplished but little.
"But look what pretty features and
sweet lips" said the one who had
nursed the child to sleep, with an air
of superiority.
The child did not exceed one month
in age. 1t was probably younger. Its
light hair, fair skin and pretty blue
eyes even at so young an age showed
that it was a born beauty. Still its
features were much like those of the
Finlanders, so many of whom had set
tied along the Columbia in the fishing
districts.
"They think the old man is dying"
said one of the women in a whisper
who had been watching the men work
with the aged sufferer.
ooh, such pity" remarked the
women in a subdued chorus.
"We will never learn the child's
name or anything about the tate Of its
mother or father.''
"It must have been born on the voy-
age," said one, "for they say the ship
was Finnish vessel and has been
many weeks at sea-"
cold Seadog's action in tie matter
is mystery to everybody. Why he
made such quick haste to board the
ship is beyond all understanding. And
he actually pointed firearms at the men
when they attempted to go aboard the
vessel" said a woman who had just
been talking with her hus sband on the
outside. "But the officers will ravel
the matter out,' she continued as she
remembered the details OF the episode
as given her by her husband.
Then there was a commotion out
side. A fisherman had just arrived
from the sand spit. He had brought
news of the arrival of officers at the
scene of the wreck.
"Old Seadog and his boys are all un-
der arrest!" was whispered from lip
to lip.

CHAPTER ".
Odd Companions.

After releasing the old man and the
child from their ENHANCEMENT they
were carried to the nearest fisherman s
cabin. The man, though lashed to the
spar and pinioned to the earth by the
driftwood was held no closer than was
the babe. His arms held it like a
wise. They had been so long about it
that they had formed like clasps
around the body and, benumbed by
the cold, they were as difficult to pry
apart as are the c1eepers which hold a
vine in it's upward climb.
Young as it was, only few weeks
old, the infant posse sed more vitality
than did it's aged protector. 1t
with surprising strength and cried pitt
fully, though in voice that showed
that its lungs were still strong and
healthy.
But the old nan scarcely breathed.
He opened his dull eyes for n oment
and stared blankly into the faces of
those directly in the line of his Wis
ion, and then closed them. He was
unconscious of all that was going on
about him. His long gray hair hung
in strands about his face and neck
His silken gray beard was matted with
the sand and trash of the beach. But
for the slow pulsa ton of his heart he
would have been pronounced dead by
those around him.
The women were running about as
busy as only women can be when they
are doing some great act of charity,
and their devotion was increased by
the fact that some dead mother s chi d
had ia len into their hands, and each
felt double responsibility on this ac-
count.
Some were bringing dry clothing
from the wardrobe of their own chill
dren, others were warming cows milk
in small basin on the stove, white a
more thoughtfui mother was sharing
the breast of her own babe with the
little waif. And those good women
smiled with tears in their eyes as the
little stranger tugged greedily at its
new found mothers breast.

eyes, so long as it eats, the signs are
good" said another.
"Just so you don't give it loo much, :"
remarked an elderly woman who was
watching the proceedings.
'But fear it is all over with the
old gent" whispered one of the women
who had just returned from the adjoin-
ing room where the men were working
with the child's elderly companion.
The men were rubbing his arms and
legs, and irons were being heated to
place at his feet. Some brandy had
been forced through his lips. but it
WAS slow in showing encouraging
effects.
His eyes were fixed in his head, his
features were as pale as death. His
firm lips were set as ii in his last Con-
scious moment he had fixed his determ-
ination upon some given object.
He was little more than five feet
as he lay upon the bed. Still he was
rather plump and well-kept for his age.
But his skin was smooth and his mus
cles soft, which indicated that he had

grown anxious and ventured forth to

arms he held Maude's unconscious
form.

word being borne distinctly to her.
Speak to me once-just once! Oh,
Maude, are you hurt? My darling! my
darling! Would that might have

lips to hers. A long. futtering sigh
