CHAPTER II.
1t was never known how the FIRE at Hulme
Wilton Manor originated, but before it was
discovered it had made alarming headway
1t had been a long, hot summer, and on the
August evening when the fire broke out the
local water supply was low, and the nearest
fire corps SIX miles distant.
Dunning, as well as the butler and one or
two OF the older servants, was away, and
though the household, re-enforced by the vii
layers and the neighboring farmers, made
every effort to arrest the flames, the old Tu-
dor house was as dry as tinder, and it soon
became evident to all that one wing must
inevitably be lost. 4
Madam Hulme sat out upon the lawn and
watched the burning pile.
From time to time she turned and spoke to
her most intimate friend, Major Irvine, who
stood beside her, chafng that he was too old
those who were working with might and main.
Good heavens" he exclaimed suddenly
There's the boy How did he get there pr
Godfrey" said madam; Godfrey!
Where?
Major Irvine pointed to the blazing wing.
where high up in the deep embrasure of an
oriel window the slender form of the child
Los Angeles herald., 1907-11-10

could be seen. With one hand he clung to
the frame of the window; with the other he
grasped tightly by the collar the wriggling,
protesting body of little dog.
Madam Hulme turned to the group of ter
rifed servants, who stood huddled together at
her right. Sne singled out one and motioned
to her.
."You told me Master Godfrey had come out
with you'll she said.
"An' so e 'ad, m lady. 'Ow 'e's come
there know no more than yourself, m lady,"
the girl answered, breaking into noisy, unre-
strained sobs.
"Be silent!" said madam, harshly.
Suddenly she felt deserted and helpless and
old.
The roar and crackle of the flames dominat-
ed all other sounds. Part of the roof fell in
with deafening crash. In front, through clouds
of smoke, she saw Major Irvine moving.
Would help never reach that pitiful, cling
ing figure?
For time it seemed uncertain that the
crumbling masonry would bear the weight of
the long tire-escape set against it. One Of the
men ran swiftly up and swung himself for
ward to a point where he could almost reach
the child.

'Put that dog down, Godfrey, and come
here" said his grandmother.
| For the first time since he had been at
! Hume Wilton she drew him close to her side:
then she gazed long and searchingly into the
small, smokegrimmed face and the dauntiess
grey eyes that looked back SO fearlessly into
| her own.
"He is Hulme." she said at last. s'He is
a worthy son of his father" And with a

had rallied under the white ban
ner of the White Rose of York. Hulmes had
counted themselves happy in yielding up for
tune. and even life itself, for the lost cause
of the Martyr King.
They were a noble stock, whose gallant
deeds were enshrined in many ancient ehron-
icles Now. there were but two of them left
In the old Manor House at Hume Wilton.
Madam Hulme, whose seventy-fve years
caused her to use gold-headed cane when
she walked, was a tall old lady with an in
domitable pride of race. Her once raven hair
was iron-grey now, but the sight of her black
eyes was still as keen as in the days when
she had been portrayed in Book of
Beauty"
The other Hulme was Godfrey. He was a
slight and graceful little creature of six years
old, whose luminous eyes of Irish grey looked
too large for his small, white face.
Madam had never forgiven the marriage of
her only son.
"a penniless nobody!" 1t was thus she
had scornfuIly described the lovely Amabel
darcy" to whom the elder Godfrey had
given his heart when he found her teaching
the small sisters of brother officer.
At first he had patiently tried to break
down his mothers prejudice, but finding her
impIacable, the Hulme spirit in him asserted
itself; He married the girl he loved, and
sailed with her to rejoin bis regiment in In
dia.
Madam parted from him in anger, not
knowing that she would ever see or speak to
him again.
The early recollections of Godfrey-the-Less
were tangle of dusky-skinned bear,rs, and
gardens with brilliant flowers and strange.
bright birds, that stayed in the background
of his mind like a dream or a fairy tale.
When he was three years old there was a
skirmish on the frontier, and his father fell
in an heroic attempt to rescue native sol,
dier, at the mercy of the enemy.
Amabel Hulme lived long enough to hold in
her hands the little iron cross inscribed "For
Valor" Had she been able, for her baby's
sake, she would have struggled back to life
but the spring of all things had been broken
for her, and before long she, too, slept in an
alien land.
Then Godfrey was sent home to his grand
mother at Hulme Wilton, for he was the last
of the Hulmes and as such must have his

The MuskeLlunue.

The Indian name of this great fighter
of the fresh water lakes and tributa-
ries is "esoxmasquinongy." Our nat
uralists have the word translated into
about eight or nine different styles, but
the correct way of spelling it in our
language is undoubtedly "muskel-
lunge." Most fishermen, however,
pronounce and spell it to suit them
selves. and no man seems to be an ac-
cepted authority. 1t is one thing in
Canada, another in the st. Lawrence

TO THE OLD GRAND ARMY BOYS.

Composed and read by Minnie Nj.
Kimball for the camp fire at Newport
July 81.
1 have not written these few lines just simply
to amuse,
Or to stir up sorrow in your hearts and make
you have the blues,
/ have not come to tell you, friends, of my
sorrows or my joys;
I've come to speak a kindly word for the old
Grand Army boys.
I look upon them with respect, their hearts
are brave and true,
But their ranks are thinning fast, each year
their numbers growing few.
| And as l view the recruits to-day, in their
uniforms so new,
| feel like saying You are in the shade with
! the old Grand Army blue
Perhaps some thirk they are rough and
| coarse. they may be in a way;
| But # il hadn't been for those boys in blue
! where would we be to-day?
! So let them rave Their camp fires here, let
them make noise;
We will doff our hats and give three cheers
for the old Grand Army boTs!
There are few know so well, they pass ny
home each day
They always have pleasant smile, friendly
word to say,
Their steps are slow and feeble now, tn cir
hair is turning gray,
But we will honor them for the brave deeds
done in the years that's passed away.
And when I t.2ink of the mothers tears the
brok hearted wife,
Who lost their loved ones by the war, for
freedom gave their life,
1t reminds me strongly of the time when an
Only Son given
That if we would we al might have welcome
home in heaven.
It's not the Haunting coIors gay that make
the man or woman here,
1t is the one that takes his stand and does
his duty without fear;
And when we change our garments here for a
robe in heaven made new,
Don't be surprised if you find some there in
the OLD Grand Army blue.
And as we have God of love who doe5h all
things we'll,
He will not forget those boys in b'ue, he
knows just where they fell,
And when we stand around the throne and
make joyful noise,
1 expect that choir will be composed of old
Grand Army boys.
And as you bring each year the flowers for
comrades laid away
You'll find each time new-made grave on
Decoration day.
And so I'd say to the boys in blue: You are
falling one by one,
The storms of life will be over soon, your
battles all be won.
And as I've listened to yorr songs you've
sung, so full of cheer,
You can sing them better over there with no
enemy to fear.
You will hear no call to shoulder arms, no
more to say good bye,
Not one of you to be mustered out in that
better home on high.
So cheer up, comrades, while you stay and
make joyful noise,
The better days coming soon for the OLD
Grand Army boys.
