Jessie shed tears of veXation, but
anger dried her eyes. She turned to
John with a wistful little smile on her
lips
Take me out in your boat John,
she said. Lets get as far as we can
from those dreadful people
In few minutes the Standish bob
bed saucily at the landing, and Jessie
stepped on board. The wind had
scarcely filled the sail when Morris
came running down the pier. He stop
ped at he saw the pair in the boat,
and glared at them as they glided
away, brute rage showing in every
feature of his flushed face. His
friends followed and led him back
Little was said between the two
as the boat moved swiftly along. Each
was busy with thoughts, and both
seemed under the spell of threatened
trouble. John pointed the boat for
Minot's Light, and having passed in
side followed the rocky shore, avoid
ing the reefs and shoals, which were
to him as an open book.
Tell me story, John, or any
thing! We're both awfully stupid to-
day. Don't you think SOP
81 will tell you a secret-two
secrets" said John, gravely.
Don't tell me secrets if you wish
them kept, John" laughed Jessie. I'm
a regular tell-tale!"
you will keep these secrets-at
least, one of them" replied John. I'm
going away. That's the first secret. -
Going away?" echoed jessie.
"Where, John?"
"Out West-to California"
Going to leave Harvard? Going
to California? Surely you're joking!
What does this mean, John" The
little face was serious now.
THAT is the second secret, Jessie. "
There was that in his voice and in
his ewes which thrilled the girl by his
side. Jessie's soft brown eyes Open
ed wide, then dropped as they met his
ferJent gaze.

CHILDREN AFFECTED.
By Mothers Food and Drink.

Many babies have been launched into
life with constitutions weakened by
disease taken in with their mothers
milk. Mothers cannot be too careful
as to the food they use while nursing
their babes. The experience OF
Kansas City mother is a case IN
point:
Il was a great coffee drinker from
child, and thought | could not eat
meal without it. But | found at last IL
was doing me harm. For years had
been troubled with dizziness, spots be-
fore my eyes and pain In my heart,
to which was added two years ago,
chronic sour stomach The baby was
born z months ago, and almost from
the beginning, 1t, too suffered from
sour stomach. She was taking 1t

Curious Rule Prevails in the English
Church at Monte Carlo.
A curious fact anent the service
held In the English church at Monte
Carlo is that no hymn under thirty
seven is ever sung there. The reason
for this may not be generally known.
It Is as follows:
A member Of the congregation,
certain English peer, once went to
the rooms on Sunday, Immediately
after the morning service, and put
the maximum on thirty-two, the num-
Der of the last hymn. 1t turned up,
and the inspiration" was widely
talked about, as such things are In tina

The next Sunday the little church
was crowded and the last hymn being
low number, an unseemly rush to
the rooms took place directly It was
announced. Curiously enough, the
number again turned up and the bank
was badly hit
On the following Sunday the church
would not hold all the "worshipers,
but their intent was frustrated, as
all the hymns were "off the board
and have been so ever since. H.

midway between the Cape of Good

rarest visits from a whaler and occa'

inhabitants number about seventy and

CHAPTER NINE.
The PARTING.

John felt the touch of hand on his
shoulder, and, turning quickly, faced
Sam Rounds
Fer Gods sake, git outer here,
John, as soon as ye cant whispered
Sam. John hung back detiantly.
Come on, John, Jessie's waitin fer
vel"
AT the sound of Jessie's name a
wave of agony swept over John Burt.
With a glance at the motionless form
of Morris he turned and followed
Sam Rounds. No hand was raised to
stop him The witnesses of the trag-
edy, held in a spell, had eyes for
naught but its victim.
Jessie ran forward to meet him,
her face white with fear,
ooh, what has happened, John?
What has happened?" Her voice trem-
bled and her lips parted with vague
terror Are you shot? Are you hurt,
John? Oh, tell me, joint"
I'm not hurt, darling said john
looking into the uplifted eyes. Some
thing has happened and we must
leave at once. I will tell you about it
on the way home"
BY a stern effort John Burt master
ed his emotions and calmly told Jessie
what had happened. He said no word
of the shameful insults in which her
name had been banded in a public
drinking place. He explained that a
quarrel had arisen, during which Nor
ris had been shot with his own Weap-
on Jessie listened breathlessly. 1t
had grown so dark that John could
not see her face, but there was a
tremor in her voice when she asked:
will he die, John?
Il fear so, replied John.
1t might have been imagination, but
| he thought that Jessie shuddered and
drew away from him. They heard the
rapid beat of hoofs behind them and
she clutched his arm.
Out of the darkness horse, madly
ridden, dashed forward, and was pull
of the carriage. A face peered in
| the homely but welcome face of Sam
| Rounds.
Drive on as fast as We can, John,

inter the bay, set er tiller an let 'er

Pretty slick, Ell? You bet none o

Sam gave the horses cut Of the
whip which sent them dashing dowr
the road. A few minutes later they
reached the Bishop farmhouse. San
held the excited horses while Johr
helped Jessie to alight.

for plaintiff; but if, on the other
