There had been severe thunder

it. Uusually she rose, lighted her

ever else may be said Of the canal zone,

to Stanton belongs the credit. But with

THE DREAM Err.
At Last She Found that Her Dream
Came to Her.

Hester Caplin never could remem-
Der when her dream first came to her.
1t must have begun when she was a
child, for the house-her dream house
was clear and distinct among her
earliest memories.
1t was an old gray gabled place with
snow-drop bush beside the door
steps and cottage roses over the back
porch, and row Of blackheart cherry
trees behind. Year by year she had
seen the cherries white with bloom,
and watched the tiny pink blossoms
of the snowdrop change to ivory ber-
ries, and caught the morning fra
GRANGE Of the roses; year by year she
had seen happy faces at the windows
and children running in and out.
The faces changed, for people came
and went in the house. but always
there were happy eyes and always
there was the gay laughter Of children
down the wind.
All through her lonely childhood
Hester had lived in the house She
never had played much with other
children-her mother did not approve
of it. AS she grew older her mother 8
exactlng invalidism claimed all her
time, and after her mother died there
was still a crippled father whose tenn
per was worse twisted than his hands.
Through all the prisoned years she

But it was so long in coming. She
could not invite neighbOrs In for it
annoyed her father; she could not
could not even take Sunday school
class-she who loved girls so. She
could only waylay the doctor some
times and send little soup or jelly to
his patients, or give n few flowers to
somebody or write a note now and
then. She never guessed-how could
she?-that her dream had already
come true" in her own heart.
One day complete discouragemen
fell upon her. The years stretched out
before her gray and empty, and the
house had vanished; it had all been
mirage and she a foolish dreamer.
Why had God let her dream so if she
was always to be denied?
Then there was a step upon the
stair, and Hester started. 1t was a
neighbor's daughter, one of her few
visitors; the girl drew a long breath
as she looked about the small, plain
room.

said. II can't tell you why-I don't

For into Hester's face had come
the light Of a great joy.-Youth's Com

The threatening features of Wassa-

ness.
Cease to fear-I will not harm you.
The White-Cloud shall float back again
in safety; come away. Do not resist me
a moment longer, or I may change my
mind said Starlight; and passing her
arm within Rosalthe's, led her down to
the bank of the river. A light birch
canoe was drawn up among the reeds.
Get in," said Starlight.
Rosalthe looked once more imploringly
towards Wassahauza, and then obeyed;
the latter quickly pushed off the frail
vessel, and using the paddle adroitly,
urged it rapidly and silently down the
stream.
When Rosalthe cast one long and lin
gering look backward and realized that
she was being borne from home and its
dear associations, her heart was over
whelmed with inexpressible anguish, but
she struggled to gain her frmness, and
partially succeeded. She changed her
position in the canoe in a manner that
would enable her to see her strange COM
panion, and study her appearance mora
particularly than her fears had permit
ted her to do. She was endeavoring to
initiate the stoicism of Starlight, when
the latter suddenly changed the direction
of the canoe, putting it farther into the
stream.
Lie down in the canoe" she exclaim-
ed, waving her hand imperiously; "lie
down, if you wish gentle usage and a
safe return"
Rosalthe mechanically obeyed, and
Starlight instantly threw a blanket
over her. that lay at her feet.
Now keep quiet, for | see one yonder
who must not look upon the face of

brave young chief of the Cherokees." ."
added Starlight, in low tones, dropping
the paddle more softly.
Half suffocated with contending emo
tons, and yet striving to bear her fate
with heroism, Rosalthe lay motionless
in the birchen vessel, and felt it leaping
to the dextrous strokes of Starlight.
