CHAPTER XXXV.
The Two Lone Ones.

A few days after VINEYARD Mist
ley's return to London, his brother
Charlie went to Davenport. From
there he wrote that he had been Of
fered the White Swallow, a gunboat,
destined for service in the Pacific
Ocean. "Of course I have accepted"
he wrote; and gave no particulars as
to when the White Swallow was like
ly to sail, and of what Duration her
absence from England would prob
ably be.
With all his assumed laziness,"
observed the colonel gravely, Char

the truck. He is a fine sailor, l am
sure"
That same afternoon Mrs. Mistley
and Mrs. Wright went out together.
in order, they said, to have a quiet
afternoons shopping, as there were
many things to be purchased and sent
on to Broomhaugh. The mother and
son had been nearly a week in Sey-
mour street, and there was now moth
ing to delay their departure for the
North.
The colonel, being left in charge Of
the invalid, proposed a drive in the
park, as the air was lovely and the
sun not too warm. But VINEYARD
languidly expressed a fear that he
was not quite up to it, innocently ig-

downstairs alone that morning. Then
he lay back on his sofa and gently
closed his eyes, as if composing him
self to peaceful slumber.
Presently the colonel left the room,
treading noiselessly SO as to avoid
waking the sleeper. Shortly after
ward the street door closed with a
smothered bang.
Lena was seated on a low chair
near the window, the regular click
of her needle acting as a lullaby to

the other. The click of the needle
continued. He turned slightly, and
lay there watching her. He could
scarcely have wished for a ~pleasanteT
picture to look upon than that fair
English maiden, sitting with daintily
bowed head and busy fngers-'on
duty" as it were-quietly fulfilling
her woman's mission. Like his
brother, he noticed then that Lena
was no longer the thoughtless, merry
girl whom he knew two years be-
fore. The same brave cheeriness
was there, but it was less liable to
the influence of circumstances; the
same healthy power of enjoyment,
but it was tempered by a greater
thoughtfulness. Something in the
curve of her closed lip, something
perhaps in a newly acquired droop Of
the eyelids, reminded him Of the

The probability that as a result Of
the new South African customs ar
rangement a. number of manufacture
ing industries will be inauguratec
with at least reasonable prospects OF
permanency opens up some very in
teresting possibilities for makers and
exporters of machinery, states the
British and South African Export Ga
zette. During the last five years
South Africa has expended s50,000,.
900 on new machinery, and the tota!
value of the machinery in the country
at the present time is estimated al
lot less than S150,000, 900.

Law Needs Reforming.

1t is plain to Fourth Estate that
the libel law of Louisiana needs re-
forming, since it denies the right of
trial by jury and restricts the right
of appeal. The case of Dominick
G. O'Malley in the New Orleans Item,
who was pardoned the otheT day
after spending several months in jail,
should lead to a demand by publish
ers in the State that when one of
their number is charged with GRIM
inal libel he should have at least
as fair treatment as the law affords
to a sneak thief.

The London County Council puts
up in all the tramways it controls
placards setting forth the curse Of
intoxicants, as follows:

For Nervousness.

If you are nervous remember this
simple rule. Nothing is so effective
as taking a drink of water every hour
or two. Medical men declare that
we should be helped in various ways
if we were more thoughtful and per-
sistent in this respect. 1t is certainly
a simple rule, and n that is within
the reach Of the busiest among US.

Ask Yourself.

Have you ever felt the exceeding
sinfulness of sin? If not, try TO un-
derstand the greatness Of God's?loye
as revealed in the cross of Christ, and
O will soon begin to see what q
horrible thing sin is. And the more
conscious you become of your own
sinfulness the easier it will be to take
hold of Christ as an all-suficient Sa-
viour. II

A bill has been introduced in the

Thirty million people in America,
or more than one-third of the Ma

The report, which is a resume Of the

forces working for prohibition, states
that the prohibitory area in foreign

Without this trust of God forgive
ness is only indulgence and the ex-|

Maine lobster fishermen are hardly

report Holsters scarcer than ever be-

this business. In years past the
hardy men who brave the frigid wealth

past winter Holsters have been scare
err than ever before, with the result
that they have been unable to make
more than both ends meet. The ter
rife cold weather of the past week
put a stop to the business altogether
along the coast; in fact, some of the
fishermen became disguised a month
ago and hauled up their traps, and
have not made an effort to catch any
Holsters since.
HOLSTERS here are higher than ever
before known, so cents being asked
for a ten-inch one, and larger ones
have sold for S12 a dozen. The de-
mand far exceeds the supply even at
that price. During the fall the fishing
fell off and from that time until the
present the catches have been very
