and it must be admitted that If left Mr.
Wlnterbourne pretty much in the same
mood OF anxious perturbation. His care
worn face instantly attracted Yolande's
notice. She became aware that there
was trouble somewhere; there was a kind
of restraint in the social atmosphere Of
the house; she ever found the honest and
hearty John Shortlands given to moody
staring into the fire. So she went TO her
W room, and sat down, and wrote the
following note:
"Allt-nam-ba, Friday.
My Dear Archie-We are all in a
state of dreadful depression here on &C.

She sent this out to be taken to Lynn
Towers by one of the gillies who was
to wait for an answer; and in something
more than an hour the lad on the sturdy
little black pony brought back this note.

hand to emphasize his words, there is

you will believe, is that you are in no

watched her disappear along the high
road-the warm westering light touch

her with a great pity; and there was
not much that this man would not have
done to save her from the shadow that
was about to fall on her young life.

going away without seeing us seemed so
strange-yes; and also his not coming
of late to the OVERWHELMING papa

so that l became anxious; and l knew
you would tell me the truth, If no one
else would"
He was disturbed, at all events; and
sorely p%erplexed. He dared not meet
her eyes; they seemed to read him
through and through when he ventured
to look up.
Don't imagine for a moment that
you have anything to reproach yourself
with-not for a moment" he said.

"Why, no. But-but-well, I will be
honest with you, Yolande; there has been
a little trouble-at the Towers. The old
people are not easy to please; and-Ar-

be dragged into a controversy, you see:

"Ah, 1 understand" she said, slowly.
THAT is something to know. But why

afraid of a little trouble like that? Does
he think l should be frightened? Oh,
no! When l make a promise it is not to

more than that. All, l Am sorry he has

hers.

They kept on talking with much in

caused the color to rush to the girls face.
She did not know that, when she rose
on his entrance. She did not know that
she looked embarrassed, because she did
not feel embarrassed. Always she had
a sense of safety in his presence. She
had not to watch her words, or think
of what he was thinking of what
she was saying. She apologized for hay

works; and asked him If he would take a

mark his face looked rather grave.

looked him fair in the face.

How the Associated Press Worked to
Give the World the News.
On the afternoon of Sept. 6, 1901,
worn out by a long period of exacting
labor, l set out for Philadelphia, with
the purpose Of spending a few days
at Atlantic City. When l reached the
Broad street station in the Quaker
City, | was startled by a number Of
policemen crying my name. l stepped
up to one, who pointed to a boy with
an urgent message for me. President
Mckinley had been shot at Buffalo,
and my presence was required at our
Philadelphia office at once. A mes
sage had been sent to me at Trenton,
but my train had left the station pre-
cisely two minutes ahead of its ar
rival. Handing my baggage to a no.
tel porter, l jumped into a cab and
dashed away to our office. l remained
there until dawn of the following
morning.
The opening pages Of the story Of
the assassination were badly written,
and l ordered a substitute prepared.
An inexperienced reporter stood be-
side President Mckinley in the Music
Hall at Buffalo when Czolgosz fired
the fatal shot. He seized a nelghbor-

correspondent, and then pulled out the

LUMBER FROM THE AMAZON.
Great South American Forests an In
exhaustible source of Supply.

When the lumber camps of the
northwestern portion of the United
States are abandoned because of the
exhaustion Of the timber, an event
that seems not far distant, the world
will still have a depot of supply in
South America. The dense forests of
the Amazon. whose rubber-producing
plants yield the greater part of the
worlds supply Of caoutchouc, have
never before been visited by so many
rubber hunters as in the past year.
Large areas Of rubber lands in the far
Interior, which until recently had new
er contributed to the supply, are
beginning to augment the annual yield
of the Amazon basin. AS an example
Of the increasing productivity of the
far inland regions, the shipments from
IQuitos, at the base of the Andes noun
tains, may be mentioned. During
the year 1900 the shipments of Iquitos
to the Atlantic amounted to 900 tons.
A year later the shipments had in
creased to 1891 tons, or a gain of 80
per cent in a year. 1t Is predicted
that the present year will show a still
larger gain and that the upper Amazon
and its tributaries in the course of a
few years will produce as much rub
Der as the lower river.
At the end of December last the
quantity Of raw rubber brought into
the port Of Para from the caoutchouc-
gathering grounds was nearly one-third
greater than in any preceding year.
The quantity shipped direct to for
eign countries from the Amazon river
port Of Manaos in 1901 was nearly dou-
BILE that Of any earlier year.
At latest accounts there was every
prospect that the collection Of rubber
this year would Deat the record Of
1901. Thirty small steamers in Feb
ruary last left Para and Manaos for
the far inland tributaries of the Anna
ION, where a large force of collectors
have been busy preparing the years
crop from that part of the field.
