 She decided to feign sleep if only to show Cecil that his coming was not really ex- pected. The soft cracking of heather sounded nearer, and she shut her eyes tightly, and tried to command her breath. ....,
 The footsteps slowed and stopped. "Flo!" said Jimmy, softly.
 She shivered, but pretended not to hear. ...%a
 He repeated her name; 50, controlling herself, she sat up and stared at him, aa if suddenly reused from slumber.
 I'm awfully sorry, Flo," said the boy, humbly. ...

 q wasn't too late" he said, little in- dignant at the insinuation against his running powers.
 The girl said nothing as she looked straight in front of her.
 q saw Herrick, but he wouldn't wait" said Jimmy. nervously, seating himself at a little distance.
 "Something serious must have called him to town" said Flo, in her most lady like voice.
 "Yes; he's going to dine with man" said the boy, sarcastic for the first time in his life.
 "oh! And did he say anything?" she asked, unable to repress the question longer.
 TT can't remember. Anyhow, he refused to come back, and-I-I bled his nose, Flo"

 T don't care. He's a cad!" muttered the boy, rebelliously. Then he whis- pered ever so gently: q say, Flo, don't be miserable about it."

 still silence, and presently Jimmy, with a sore trouble dulling his honest eyes. rolled over and buried his face In the heather. Half an hour passed.
 The vision of Cecil Herrick with bleeding nose had proved too much for Flo's romantic and artistic nature: but still, though she loved him no longer, she was decidedly unhappy. She felt very lonely.
 The bright summer sky dazzled her eyes when she first uncovered them. but through a mist she perceived that Jim my was still there. Somehow she ex- perieneed feeling of relief. She shook back her hair. and drew down her skirt. but she forgot to wish for hairpins and long dresses.
 Jimmy" she whispered, bending over him.
 Flo" he murmured in a choked voice, still hiding his shame-nushed face.
 A tress of her dark hair slipped over her shoulder, fell between his elbow and his cheek. and fingered there. After . little while he moved slightly. but the tress lay on his lips. He put out one land blindly. and. strangely enough. t found the girls fingers immediately. Aren't we friends again. Jimmyr T don't know, Flo"

Victoria, B. C., Oct. 16-Ten thousand lives plotted out, seventeen steamers and sailing vessels wrecked or padiy damaged. over thousand Juhhs swamped. turned over or battered to pieces against the stone walls or the Praya eighty per cent of the hghters, launches. yachts, houseboats, and small native craft entirely destroyed. many wharves wrecked many damaged. was the result of a typhoon lasting put two hours at Hong Kong on September ie' according to advices brought by the steamer Empress of Japan .one of the few vessels to escape the disaster which arrived yesterday.
 The Empress of Japan. but day De- fore, gave place at the kowloon ool- pany's wharf to the steamer Changsha' which was entirely wrecked at the dock. Kowloon sustained the heaviest loss, but all sections of Hong Kong and the Hinterland, suffered:

WILL ATTACK VATICAN.
French Cabinet Will Charge It With Con-
 sDiracy


 Rome. Oct. l6-The Observatore Ramano ing that the French cabinet is preparing to attack the vatican. at the reopening of the chambers by accusing 1t of engaging in Q conspiracy with the monarchists to over throw the republic and giving the following statements as proof of It's charges:
 That the royalist press which opposed the late Pope Leo XIII approves of Pope Plus x
 That the royalst leaders urged the Pope to support the religious movement in France.
 That the Pope granted an interview to the royalist organ. the Gauois.
 The Observatore Romano answers these allegations by stating that Pope Plus. like Pope Leo, loyalty accepts the republic as the former has repeatedly affirmed con- firming his statement in his recent encycli- cal on the church and state separation law and challenges anybody to quote word uttered by the Pope or to adduce fact showing the Pontiff as an enemy of the republic.
 The proofs to be referred to by 'he French government, the ObserVatore fo- mano adds are not serious. The royaiists support the Pope either as good Cathoiics or for political aims. In the latter case it is not the vatican's fault. ''the responsi- biIity resting the republic and resuitihs from the anti-religious measures adopted ID opposing the church. under the 8uise or carrying republican ideals"
