Florence looked at her
rather queerly, and did not
speak at once. When she did,
her words seemed to Christabel
to indicate a desire to give
their conversation a much
less personal note.

it can be that they've gone
out to get?"

He seemed to be all right yesterday, didn't he?:

names; l don't know why the rest of us should be.

Christabels eyes widened and her sensitive
mouth dropped with an expression of perfectly in
stinctive DISGUST - But not Mr. O. Brien?" she said
Haven't you heard about it? Haven't they told

face that she did not know she sat down beside her
the bed and began telling the story.
SHE not retrospective person, this coura-

out for her here Horse Island and had settled
down to do it. She did not wonder why it

the words crowded to her tongue, and she did not
Christabel listened with full understanding and
sympathy, indeed; but she took it in from slightly
different angle of vision than that of the narrator
full and how exactly like Mr. Smith it was to
have made the battle possible at all. Something
of this idea she expressed
"Oh, yes, said Florence, in a matter of fact
tone. There's nobody just like Mr.. Smith. They
don't any finer than that
And you say" Christabel questioned after
little silence,-"you say that Mr.. O'Bren is, =
she hesitated, then chose the gentler word-"is i'll

that"
Il don't think So Florence interrupted. Mr.
Smith told me not, at any rate. l think it's since
then; and l don't know anything. 1t only
that when Jim told the story of Sir Malcolm in the
lOngboat, l knew he was leaving something out
And l haven't any ground than that for

"Oh!" said Christabel.
And yet Florence concluded, Il know
l know well if had seen him there with my
own ey~s-" She did not complete the sentence
for at that point her voice refused to obey her
further
But she had said enough; for at least Christa-
bel understood She tried to speak; but her own
voice choked. So she put her round Florence's
neck instead and drew her head down on her shout

They're all out there, she said your brother and
Mr.. O'Brien and Mr.. Smith; but they'll all come
back
Florence sat quickly erect and looked long,

she said slowly, - wonder if you can understand

such terrible swiftness the sky. They had

rendered their faces almost ndistinguishable to

For full minute they gazed at each other

herself at last, in her big chair
in the recessed end of the
room. The exhaustion of the
last ten hours would take no
denial even from her.
WHEN she woke, the rays
" of light about the shut
tiers told her it was morning.
She made her way cautiously
to one of them and opened it
a little. The verandas about
the house were smashed to
kindlings, and the debris
scattered all over the lawn
caused her to reconsider a
half-formed project of going
out for a walk.
Presently the changed as
pect of the grove, or what
had once been the grove, of
silk cotton trees caught her
eye. Only two of the veterans
were left. The bolt that had

the last one of all, had evil

AN A MIABLE CHILD

At Riverside the slow hillslant
Two memoried graves are seen:
A granite dome is over Grant,
And over a child the green.
The whole world knows the hero's name,
And his blue battalions filed;
One tender line is the others fame
An Amiabl Child
The daisy gold was in the grass,
The lark gold in the sky;
The summer day it came to pass
The child put living by
A hundred times the river shore
Has seen proud summer stayed;
The count begins hundred more,
Since that small grave made.
Bright triumphs have the buges blown
OF battles running red,
Great cities from the grass have grown,
Since the little boy was dead.
Strange chance ,-one child remembered yet
One only, of his day;
One child for whom the eyes grow wet
Because he could not stay.
Strange chance for one who led no cause,
Who only loved and died
To lie here in Oblivion S pause
By the great Captain side

and SO suddenly that it made less impression than

out not more than ten probably, though it
hard to estimate time in such situation that,

BY Glenn Guernsey.

NEW YORK, March 14.-Despite
criticism in certain high quarters the
"malefactors of great wealth" con-
tinue to prosper. The Standard OIL
Company OF New Jersey to-day paid a
quarterly dividend Of SIS per share,
or Is per cent, for the quarter end
ing March 81.
AS a result of this disbursement,
orr distinguished friend, John D.
Rockefeller puts s3,S52,S1O between
him and the poor house. Three
months ago he received little pin
money of the same amount. His an
nual income from STANDARD Oil stock
alone is over $15.OOO,OOO, or about a
million and a quarter a month.
For the past three years the New
Jersey corporation has declared div
idend Of SIS per share for this quar-
ter. In 1903 1t paid $50, in order to
get rid of few million in super
fluous coin. The dividend OF this
philanthropic institution, which has
placed midnight oil in the reach of
the the most humble, is now at the
rate OF $GO,OOO,OOO a year. AS the total
capitalization is S1OO,OOOOOO, this is
at the modest rate of 60 per cent.
According to the records, John D.
Rockefeller has drawn $143 ,S52, $40
in dividends from his New Jersey
Standard OIL stock in the last eight
years. 1t must not be imagined,
however, that he has been forced to
sahsist on such modest income. Mr..
Rockefeller owns much stock in 9TH
er oil. railroad and industrial cor
Nuratiors. which serves to bring his
dividend receipts to quite respect
ah!c figure.
Irish to Celebrate.
1t has been said that New York
has more Italians than Rome, more
Greeks than Athens and more Irish
men than Dublin The proof as re-
CARDS the sons of the Emerald Isle

ganization in the greater city-anl

ployes Of irish birth.
