A teacher in small Oregon school
was giving a lesson on the circulation
of the blood Trying to make it clearer
he said:
'Now, children, If 1 stood on my
head, the blood, as you know, would run
into It, and I should turn red in the
face"
ayes, sir" said they.
"Now, Arthur" continued the teacher,
addressing a small boy, "what 1 want
to know Is this: How IS it that while
am standing upright In the ordinary
position the blood doesn't run into my
feet and turn them red?
''Why, sir" answered Arthur, ''be-

LIGHT ON THE CLOUD.

There's never an always coudlesS sky,
There's never vale so fair,
But over 1t sometimes shadows lie
In a chill and songless air.
But never a cloud o'erhung the day,
And flung its shadows down,
But on It's heaven-side cleaned some ray.
Forming a sunshine crown.
It Is dark on only the downward sideI
Though rage and tempest loud,
And scatter its terrors far and wide
There's light upon the cloud
And often when 1t traileth low,
Shutting the landscape out,
And only the chilly east winds blow
From the foggy seas Of doubt,
Therell come time, near the setting sun,
When the joys Of life seem few;
a rift will break in the evening dun
And the golden light stream through.
And the soul glorious bridge will make
Out Of the golden bars,
And all its priceless treasures take
Where shrine the eternal stars.

Then the Rennies gave a picnic.
1t turned out a brilliant, sunny
day, and 1t was decided to go
up the valley to wood near
the lower end of the Alguillet Yer
glacier. 1t was at this picnic it for
the first time struck Mr.. Rennie that
Harry was a trife more attentive to
Muriel than there was any occasion
for. He did not say anything, but he
made up his mind to two things: First
to watch the young couple pretty care
fully that day; second, to leave Mont
vert tomorrow.
Harry and Muriel slipped off
amongst the trees, and soon found
themselves quite alone. They strolled
down to where, from under it's arch of
muddy ice, the glacier river started on
| its fOamy career, and seated themselves
near by Oh a great messy stone under
q pine tree. The blazing sun made the
shade most welcome, and the two sat
there quietly drinking in the warm
scent Of the woods.
I'm afraid our holiday will soon be
over" she said. We have to be home
by the first Of October"
Harry experienced curious shock.
With extraordinary suddenness he real
lied what life would be without Muriel.
''Muriel," he said, quickly and ear
nestly, "MurieI, will you care?"
Apparently she did, for when, five

walked quietly up behind them over
the carpet Of noiseless pine needles,
he saw sight that made his smooth
face wrinkle with rage.
The two cousins were sitting closer
together than strict cousinship alto
gether entailed, and Muriel's head was
leaning on Harry's shoulder.
James Rennie lost his temper.
"You sneaking young scoundrelv ~ he
said, with a sudden emphasis that
made the lovers jump to their feet.
81 beg your pardon, sir! !" said Harry,
quietly There was a dangerous CLEAN
in his eye. "You were saying -"
"That you are a scheming fortune
hunter. Your uncle cut you off, and
now you think to regain the money in
a low, underhand way by marrying my
daughter!''
Crash! A sharp, rending sound,
followed by a heavy fall, made all
three jump back.
A great piece of ice, loosened by the
heat, had fallen away from the glacier
end, and something else, too-some-
thing dark-had slipped from the
broken mass and lay on the debris
| below.
For moment no one moved.
Then Harry stepped forward and
stood by the fallen figure. The others
followed. 1t was the body Of a man.
He was dressed in rough tweedS, and
when they turned him over his upturn-
ed face had a quiet, peaceful express
sion. He might have died an hour ago.
Instinctively the two men removed
their hats. Then Harry looked at Mr..
Rennie.
you know who it is?' he said.
Eyes, it's Sir Robert" he answered
in low voice.
They picked the body up and lifted
it into the shade Of the pines. AS they
did SO a folded paper fell from the
torn jacket.
That evening Harry met Muriel in
the hotel garden.
Your father has told you what II
was we found?" he said.
Eyes, DEAR" she answered. "And he
told me, too, about your suggestion
Harry, you are generous, and, do you
know, father appreciates it."
I'm glad he doesn't think badly OF
me any longer, darling" said Harry
But, you know, we shall be rich OF
half the money, shan't WEI"
Muriel's answer quite satisfied him
