Travellers In China often derive
amusement from the peculiarltfes Of
shop signs there, many Of which are
couched in the most eloquent and poet
'ical terms. But it Is not necessary to
leave the British islands in order 70
find business announcements quite as
curious in their way as those In other
lands.
In the Isle of Man, over the shop OF a
barber who supplies customers with all
kinds of fishing tackle, the writer was
amused to read the following: "Pisca-
torial Repository, Tonsorial Artist,
Physiognomical Hairdresser, Uranium
Manipulation and Capillary Abridger,
Shaving and Hair Cutting With Ambi-
dextrous Facility, Shampooing on Phys
biological Principles" On a signb0ard
In the town where the writer lives may
be read this phonetic announcement:
"Shews Maid and Men dead Hear"

bler's shop the reader may discover its

An Impromntu Vacation.

Percival Somers in.his DIARY Of q
Country Gentleman" tells Of an Eng
lish farmers wife who on her way
home from market drew eco from the
bank and completely disappeared on
the instant. She was thought to have
been murdered for the money on the
lonely roads, and for six months no
more was heard of old Nancy. Then
she suddenly walked into her old home
and went about her work as usual.
She had taken 1t into her head that
after forty years of hard work she
wanted holiday, and accordingly this
ancient rustic, who had never been
more than u few miles from home,
steered herself triumphantly to the
United States and took the said h0ii-
day among relatives whom she had
never seen up to the moment Of this

CHAPTER XVII.

"HE next day and the next were
eventful ones In the history OF
the quiet little village of Crag-
enstone. People stopped in the
midst Of their busy preparations for
the witnessing of the awful event now
drawing so near to walk to the prison
to see the great new lock hanging
from an iron band across the door and
to gaze with wonder and curiosity at
the tall, lame man who strode up and
down before the building that con-
fined Margaret Maryland, muttering
savagely and uttering curses under
his breath. Small boys and idlers
hung about him, following him whith-
er he went, and on the last day watch
ed with pale, awe stricken faces the
planting of the stake, the piling OF the
fagots at the foot and all the grew
some preparations for the consuming
by fire of the condemned woman.
At last all was in readiness, and the
darkness Of the night that came be-
fore the day set for the execution set
tied black and dense over the noun
tain. The village folk, with the idea
of rising promptly at the first appear
ancc OF the sun, so that they and their
children might be dressed and on the
scene at the first possible moment, had
gone to rest early, so that at o'clock
not light cleaned from the windows
Of single house or cabin, not a way
farer seemed to be on the roadways,
and there was an intense stiffness on
the mountain.
At the jail old Matthew Allen lay
stretched on a wooden bench Just in
side the huge door, sleeping heavily,
although supposed to be awake, alert,
her narrow cell, her dress of black
clinging in somber folds about her
slender figure, knelt on the hard floor
beside her pallet, her head bowed In
her hands. The glimmer from a can
die on a stand near at hand fell on
her bright hair ana bowed head, show
ing her attitude to be one of hopeless
resignation as she knelt there 1mmov-
able, to all appearances unconscious.
Soon the sharp noise of the opening
and shutting of the great door rang
through the quiet prison and the heavy,
hating footsteps of Ezekial Mason were
heard as he came down the corridor,
making his last round to see that all
was safe. Reaching Margaret's cell,
he passed, and as the rasping sound of
u key being turned In the rusty lock
Of the iron door OF her cell fell on her
ears the prisoner instinctively bowed
her head lower. Then the door was
thrown back on its hinges, and for
few seconds there was no sound.

She did not raise her head,

"Margaret."
She moved, appeared to listen, then
lifted her face and looked about her
wildly, but saw only the stern jailer,
Ezekial Mason.
"Who mocks meY' she cried pitious-
ly. "Who initiates his voiceT
The man stepped over the threshold
and with q. quick motion removed his
slouched hat, turned down his broad
coat collar and, supporting the trem-
bling woman to her feet, said with
deep emotion:
Margaret, oh, my love"
Godfrey"
She wound her arms about his neck
clinging to him wildly.
"And is it thou? In my dazed state
