The Increase Of business at the office

well indicated by the receipts of .ha-
depa rtmcnt for the quarter ending Sep
TENDER 80. These receipts wera the
largest of any quarter in the history of
the department. and. in fact. the re-
ceipts for the first three quarters of
1904 have been larger than the re-
ccipts for the whole year of ~ ). The
significance of this increase is fully
shown when it is considered that the
business of the department in 1908 was
larger than that of any previous yea"
in it's history. The receipts for the
year ending September 80, We're as fol-

A WINTER AFTERNOON.

The sun, disconsolate and dim.
BY chilling clouds rebuffed.
Shines like a bedtime candle, left ,
Upon the shelf unsnuffed;
A little flock of chickadees
u plaintiye in the homestead trees.
Toe little air there Is to sway
The dead vine by the door,
Bot faint sounds stir in the dry leaves
That strew the orchard floor,
As If the garments of the day
Were rustling as she steals away.
Along the hedgerows, here and there,
Shine red stems of the brier,
And dusky homesteads windows hold
A scarlet flash of fire;
The bold wing of crow astray
Is strangely black against the gray.
One bar of rusty red Is all
The smothered sunset shows.
No room there Is for twilight's grace,
So swift the darkness grows,
But on faint harp-strings in the wood
Some stray wind plays an interlude.
A flock of gulls above the marsh,
Within the fieeting light,
Flies toward the sea, where one dark ship
Seems bringing in the night.
And DER its icy masts, full soon.
Hangs the blurred lantern of the moon.

CHAPTER XVI.

BY THE Hit OF THE SWORD.

stockade down to the bivouac, where
Pembroke and his men had spent the
night.
Now, Sir Arthur" said he to the lat
ter, when he had found him, come. /
am ready to talk with you. Let US
go apart"
Pembroke Joined him, and the two
walked slowly away toward the encir-
cling wood which swept back of the
stockade. Law turned upon him at
length squarely.
''Sir Arthur" said he. 81 think you
would tell me something concerned
with the Lady Catharine Knollys. Do
you bring any message from her?"
The face of Pembroke famed scar
let with sudden wrath. "Message!"
said he Message from Lady Catha-
rine Knollys to you? By God! sir,
her only message could be her hope
that she might never hear your name
again"
Arthur, and you speak harsh enough"
Harsh or not" rejoined Pembroke.
81 scarce can endure her name upon
your lips. You, who secuted her, who
left her, who took up with the lewdest
woman in all Great Britain, as it now
appears-you who would consort with
this creature"
I'm this matter" said John Law,
simply, you are not my prisoner, and
I beg you to speak frankly. 1t shall
be man and man between u.s."
How you could have stopped to such
baseness is what mortal man can never
terly. Good God! to abandon wom-
an like that so heartlessly-"
"Sir Arthur" said John Law, his
voice trembling, 81 do myself the very
great pleasure of telling you that you
lie!"
For a moment the two stood silent,
facing each other, the face of each
stony, gone gray with the emotions
back of it.
There is light" said Pembroke.

paused, and neither man cared to go
forward or to return. Pembroke's
face, stern as 1t had been, again took
on the imprint of a growing hesitation.
"Mr. Law" said he, there is some
thing in your attitude which I admit
puzzles me. I ask you in all honor,
ask you on the hilt of that sword which
know you will never disgrace, why
did you thus flout the Lady Catharine
Knollys? Why did you scorn her and
her stcad?"
"Sir Arthur" said John Law, with
trembling lips, 81 must be very low in
deed in reputation, since you can ask
me question such as this"

"You do me very much honor, Sir
Arthur" replied Law. Here is your
sword, SIR" STOPPING, he picked it up
and handed it to the other. 81 did
but i'll If l refused to accord satisfac-
ton to one bringing me such speech as
that. TITS well you wear your weap-

no parole of you tonight; but mean

They came now to the gate of the
stockade, and there Pembroke stood
for a moment in surprise and perplex-
ity. He was not prepared to meet this
dark-haired, wide-eyed girl, clad in
native dress of skin, with tinkling
metals at wrist and ankle, and on her
feet the tiny, beaded shoes. For her
part, Mary Connynge, filed with

Her eyes stared in terror, and beneath
her dark skin the blood shrank away
and left her pale. She recoiled from
him, her left hand carrying behind her
instinctiyely the babe that lay on her
arm.
Sir Arthur bowed. but found no
word. He could only look questioning
