pility. The innocent eyes of the young wife saw nothing; her confding heart suspected nothing.
 She awoke one night, and through the open windows heard an unusual sound. Gerald" she said, "a storm is com ing up. Hear the trees creak down the avenue!"
 There was no answer.
 She stretched her hand toward her husbands pillow; it was unoccupied.
 He is restless, and has risen to walk and smoke for an hour upon the porti- CO.," she said, and fell asleep again.
 But there was no wind. The sound she heard was that caused by two per sons stepping into carriage, which stood halfway down the long avenue. The light vehicle swayed and its hinges creaked as they took their seats. Kim ross frightened the lines, and the two high-bred horses stepped softly away.
 Marie Kinross awoke in the morning and found her husband still absent from her chamber. She dressed, and went among the servants.
 Where is your master?"
 They looked white and scared, and glanced at each other with hesitancy.
 Miss Victoire has gone, too," said one of the maids.
 What do you mean?" asked Marie. sharply.
 of you please, Mrs. Kinross," said the girl, 'T heard people getting into a carriage last night, and horses hoofs going down the avenue; and Miss Vic toire did not sleep in her bed last night"
 And the carriage and horses are gone from the stable this morning" |" said Tony. the eoaehman.
 Marie Kinross stood like one stunnad for moment. Then, with a sharp scream, she fell on the floor. They raised her, carried her to her chamber, and all day she lay in strong eonvul- sions.
 All day Kinross and victoire DAT eier travelled swiftly. until at night they reached a small stone church in an obscure country district. A storm was coming up; 1t was necessary that they should have shelter, and a bridal party passed out of the church as they entered.
 A fortunate occurtence," said Kin ross. We will be mtrried. thus sav- ing appearances and preventing gossip, if we find 1t necessary to stay here d few days."
 The thunder crashed above their heads as they passed under the sacred arch As they entered the church the lightning played through the tinted glsss of the high windows, and filled the church with nottled light Vic toireis beautiful face looked strange in the spectral atmosphere. Klnruss. full of his guilty plans. pressed forward to the chanceL

them to hush, and hark, and listen, un- til she gave them all the heartache. Sometimes she would cling to then, sobbing:
 "I was so happy What does it mean? What does 1t mean?"
 They hoped that in the spring a beneficial change would come. But when her little babe was laid upon her breast she only moaned with pain, and took no notice of it.
 She never knew her child. and the boys brain was affected from his birth. Mother and child yet live. and until both pass away the empty home will stand unused and decaying. so neglected that the weeds choke out the flowers. and so lonely that the hare runs fear lessly across the grounds For run5r says that the long avenue Is haunted. and It Is true that if one steps inside the gate to gather. perhaps. scarlet poppy, he vill hear a creaking snd rustling, as of lady in a sIlken dress entering light vehicle.-N.

The HAUNTED
 AVENUE Aa
By ESTHER sERLE KENNETH

nOPPY WALKSl The place has
 come to have that name, for ell along the beaten paths the peoples have sown themselves and blossom, rose-pink, purple and scarlet, in rank rows. The house is not very old; it is the imperfection of the stGcco-work falling away in various places which gives it a defaced and dilapidated look. It is the rank, weedy garden and the neglected avenue, ankle deep in black, fallen leaves, which shows Poppy Walks to be forsslken and forlorn. The grapevines have fallen from their trel- lisss, the lilies grow with hawkweed, and the rose vines trail, blossomless, upon the grass.
 All was in perfect order when Kin ross brought his beautiful young wife to Hillhome, as 1t was then called.
 She was very young; they had known each other only three months, but her heart was bound up in the handsome, imperious man.
 "It is beautiful here, but you must let .Yictoire stay with me this summer, " she said, clinging to his arm.
 ~victoire will keep the house full of Eayety, and we want to be by our selves, Marie" answered Kinross, smoothing the dark curls which lay against his breast.
 'sBut l shall be lonesome while you are fin the city. Gerald" she answered.
 "victoire shall stay, then, if you Wish," he answered.
 He had hardly seen Ylctoire D'ArcIer then, little Marie's beautiful cousin. On she night of the ceremony she had been one of the bridesmaids, but she had not fallen in his way much Einee-a handsome brunette, with a peachy .1olor and milky teeth. He remembered her face, and that she had come to HIlIhome with others of the gay bridal marty. Now he looked at her more at- fantfveiy, as she strOlled on the ter nace. He saw, with the eye of criti- cism, a regal face. a voluptu0us figure, a dress of rose-colOred cashmere.

 The meeting also drew up remon. strance, which they will ask Finance Minister Kokovsoff to present to Elm peror Nicholas, stating that it is im- possible for the naphtha industry to exist under present conditions and that the companies would not resume opera tons unless guarantees were given them that order would soon be restored and permanently maintained in the oil regions.
 The oil men in Nizhni Novgorod and Astrakhan express the fear that at- tempts will be made to burn the stocks of oil stored there, and they ask for the taking of protective measures.

 When that of Gerald Kinross was re- covered, 1t was deemed best that his wife should never look upon it, though it was brought to Hillhome for burial.
 But when she saw the long, black coffin, she raised her hands to her head-and went mad.
 "Hark!" she cried; what is that sound down the avenue?"
 Friends iocked around her, but the best medical care could not avail to save her reason. She would cry for
