 Stella facing away from them, was placing dishes on the table. I'll have supper for you soon,' she said present ly We didn't dare begin to cook before for fear-for fear"
 All right, Stella. These passengehs, MT. Vincent and Mr. Cadwalladeh, will eat; but Gid an I'll go and look up the old man first"
 Stella dashed him a grateful look before holding to the strangers, the only acknowledgment of the introduc- tion she took time for. She lighted lantern and set it near the door brought a whisky flask from behind the bar and some white cloth, and placed both beside the lantern
 Alfred sickened at the broken sen tences, sinister pauses and still more sinister preparations; yet intently watched the hurrying workers
 Gid take out the barley and feed 'em double measure. I'll help you blanket 'em in a minute"
 Gideon shouldered the barley just as Stella pulled pile of heavy blan- kets from a shelf. Alfred started for ward to help her, and felt himself bending under a load that she had lifted with ease.
 I'll take them. stranger" Gideon had dropped the barley and stepped quickly to Stella's side.
 Alfred turned, startled at that which his sensitive ear heard in the voice. He met a pair of black, burning eyes in swarthy face not yet divorced from boyishness, though full manhood spoke from the straight figure and sinewy movements. Alfred needed no inter- preter for that jealous look, needed no one to tell him of the instant hostility that lurked in the darkling eye, and found quick response in his own heart He relinquished the blankets and re- tired to his chair, his eye the buster since hands must be idle.
 He looked about, upon the bar in the corner, it's glittering glass and one kerosene lamp the only brightness in the gloomy room upon the dark, weapon-hung walls, and the significant loop-holes that gleamed small and black against the starlit night without Bare floors, rude home made furniture it was life more primitive than Al fred could possibly have imagined ten days before.
 One object removed it from say agery, Stella's small cane rocking chair. It queened the barbarous room. an omen of coming civilization. From the chair to Stella herself Alfreds eye wandered noting her incongruous dress, a rich lavender silk skirt, once boastinS train, though now cut half shoe. short. disclosing costly French boots, one tor at the side. Her linen waist was jewel-clasped at the white neck and belted with a zone of quartz crystals clear as diamonds Her comb, banded with delicate pink coral held in place coronet of glinting golden brown braids, adorning but not dis guising the shapeliness of her perfect ly poised head. And from all this misplaced elegance a short red calico apron screamed at the eye with the ar rogance of boor in power
 Calmly unconscious of Alfred's scru- tiny, Stella was coming and going, preparing the late supper.
 The team. unhitched but not unhar- messed, was fed, blanketed and tied to the coach wheels in front of the door;

Buffalo Methodist, was broad

hedge one good Christian from an
other. Sincere creeds, no matter how
diverse, should, on the contrary, bind
Christians together.
Bishop Fowler used to tell about
young Detroit couple, John Smith
and Hannah Jones.
John Smith was Presbyterian
Hannah Jones was Baptist. They
hesitated about marrying. because
they feared that in later life, when
the little ones came, religious dis
putes might arise. Thus the years
passed. Neither would renounce his
church. John Smith grew bald and
Hannah Jones developed lines about
her mouth and eyes. 1t was COM

a year by his firm to buy fancy

ROME Is JOYFUL:
ONCE MORE A PORT.
Sees Vision OF Restored Suprsm-
aey as Chief Maritime Centre
Of tho Globe.

Rome is mad with Joy. Romans
embrace one another in the street
with congratulations and applause
For the Romans see at no distant
date the Eternal City reinstated in
her place as chief port of the world,
and receiving the riches and mer.
chandise of all climes.
The Granatiere (the Grenadier)
has successfully navigated the wind
ing Tiber and has been welcomed as
the forerunner of new epoch.
Thousands and thousands of Ro.
mans thronged the banks of the Tt
ber and the surface of the river was
of Their Majesties the King and
Queen, who were to present the
Granatiere with a banner of honor
Princess Letitia and the Princes of
the Blood Royal were present, the
cannon thundered and the flag fut.
tered mast high on the torpedo boat
And indeed the captain of the boat
deserved high praise, for the wind
ings and shadows of the river are
anything but easy to navigate. A
dozen times bow and stern almost
touched the banks as some sharp
turn was taken. Now the boat lies
at Ripa Grande, the ancient Roman
wharf, waiting for the rain to fall
and give the Tiber sufficient water to
enable it to return to the sea.
A daily service of boats has now
been started from Rome to Sardinia
direct, and the introduction of cattle
from Sardinia, with the other pro-
ducts of the island, will be greatly
facilitated.
But the great scheme of the Ro-
mans Is once more to make Ostia,
dozen miles southwest, the port for
first-rate seagoing vessels, so that
the great ocean steamships coming
from America. England or the Anti
podes will no longer be obliged to en-
ter the ports of Genoa. Livonia or
Naples, but will unship their cargoes
and disembark their passengers at
Ostia, the ancient port, from which
journey of twenty minutes by rail or
automobile will carry them to Rome.
A railway line will be finished by
1911, and the millions of visitors
from foreign shores who come to
Rome in that year of festivities will.
instead of having to undergo a
tedious journey of six, seven or
eight hours, find themselves at Rome
In twenty minutes.
1t is not mpossible-nay, 1t Is
more than probable-that in three
years Rome will outdistance all her
sister cities of Italy and take first
rank among the ports of the world.
The Romans are arousing from
their long lethargy. Building is to
be carried on with increased vigor.
and when lovers of Rome visit her
in three years time they will find
provisions cheaper and an enormous
quantity OF new houses and hotels
ready to receive them Rome looks
forward to great future.-Rome

for the second time that day went a

Unfortunately, however, my modest
retreat was observed, and the rhinoc'
eros, as soon as he got his legs again,
set to work to run after me.
Now no man OH earth can run as
'ast as an irritated rhinoceros can GAL

To do this I had to steady my pace

I stopped, and as I did so rapidly

BY this time the brute was within

his head was up.
lifted the rife and fred at him.
1t was snap. shot. but the bullet
struck him in the chest within three
inches of the first, and found its way
into his lungs.
1t did not stop him, however, so all
{ could do was to bound to one side,
which I did with surprising activity,
and as he brushed past me fire the
other barrel into his side.
That did for him.
The ball passed in behind the shoul'
der and right through his heart.
He fell over on to his side, gave one
most awful squeal-a dozen pigs could
not have made such noise-and
promptly died. keeping his wicked eyes
wide open all the time.
AS for me, blew my nose, and going
up to the rhinoceros, sat on his head,
and reflected that I had had capital
mornings shooting.
