tion to be held at Portland, Thursday,

the purpose of choosing six presi-
Dental electors, also four delegates

plantation will be entitled to one dele
gate and for each rs votes cast for the
Republican candidate for Governor in
1906, an additional delegate, and for
a fraction of 40 votes in excess Of Is
votes further additional delegate.
That there may be no misunder-
standing, the secretary of the COM
mittee has mace a. classification Of
delegates based upon this representa-
ton. The town or plantation which
threw "a votes is, under this call, only
entitled to- one delegate. In order to
get second delegate it must have
thrown rs votes for tho Republican

1t is hoped that If any errors are
discovered in the list they will be
promptly reported to the secretary SO
that all mistakes may be corrected.

The Lark.

There is a legend somewhere told
OF how the skylark came of old

And, circling round that form of pain.
Poured forth a wild, lamenting strain,
AS Il for human loss.
Pierced by those accents of despair,
Upon the little Inourner there
Turning his fading eyes.
The Savior said, "Dost thou so mourn,
And is thy fragile breast so torn,
That Man, thy brother, dies?
"O'er all the, world uplifted high.
We are alone here. thou and l.;
-. And, near to heaven and thee
! bless thy pity guided wings!

Loves requiem for me! 4
Sorrow shall cease to fill thy song:
These fritil and fiuttering wings grown
Thou shalt no longer fly.
a!afths captive-nav, but boldly dare
The azure vault, and upward bear
Thy raptures to the sky!''
Soon passed the Savior: bnt the lark,
Close lowering near him in the dark,
H. Could not his grief abatc:
ana nigh the watchers at the tomb,N
Stiil mourned through days Of grief and
With note disconso.ate.
Put when those sad mourpers came.
In rose and amethyst and flame,
The Dawn Miraculous,
Song in which sorrow had no part
burst from the lark's triumphant heart
Sweet and tumultuous:
An instant. as will, rapture blind,
ne Iaitered; then, his Lord to find,
Straight to the other flew
Rising where falls no human tear.
Singing where still his song We hear
Piercing the upper blue!

dangerous exploit, and while Old Cy
had hunted over this curious confusion

film of smoke. Ray had covertly

that every mans hand was against
him, and no reproaches of conscience
had resulted from his cold-blooded kill

thought return of the few years when
a womans hand sought his in tender

able horror he had decreed for his own
child.
So vile a wretch seemed unfit for
Gods green earth; and yet the silence
of night beside this lake, and the stars
mirrored on its motionless surface,
soothed and satisfied him.

One hour or more this strange COM

one. the mere click of one pebble
striking another.
He arose and listened.
Soon another soft, crushing sound
reached him. Some animal creeping
along in the passage between the
lodges, he thought.

spring returned with speed. the brooks
began to overflow. the lake to rise. and
one morning. instead of a white e1-
panse Of watery ice. it was a blue and
rippled lake once more.
And now plans for Rays return TO
Greenvale were in order. and the sole
topic of discussion. He was as eager
as a boy anxious for the close OF
school. and for double reason. which
is seli-evident
II was agreed that Old Cy and him
self should make the trip out together
in two canoes. and convey their stores
OF gum and frs. At the settlement
these were to be packed. to await later
sale and shipment Old Cy would then
return to camp, and Ray would go on
TO Greenvale.
A change in this plan came in an
unexpected manner. however. for a
few days before the one set for de-
parture. Old Cy, always on watch. saw
a canoe enter the lake. and who should
appear but Levi. Martins old guide.
