SYNOPSIS.

Miss Patricia Holbrook and Miss Helen
the care of LauraDce Donovan, writer,
Patricia confided to Donovan that she
feared her brother Henry, who, ruined by
a bank failure, had constantly threatened
her for money from his fathers viii. Of
which Miss Patricia was guardian. Ghey
came to Port Annandale to escape Henry.
Donovan sympathized with the two
women. He learned of Miss Helen's an
noying suitor. Donovan discovered and
captured an intruder who proved to be
Reginald Gillespie, suitor for the hand of
Miss Helen Holbrook. Gillespie disap-
peared the following morning. A rough
sailor appeared and was ordered away.
Donovan saw Miss Holbrook and her fa-
ther meet on friendly terms. Donovan
fought an Italian assassin. He met the
b man he supposed was Holbrook, but who
said he was Hartridge, a canoe-maker.
20 After a short discussion Donovan left
surlily. Gillespie was discovered by Don
ovan presenting a country church with
81, 900. Gillespie admitted he knew of Hol-
brooks presence. Miss Pat acknowledged
to Donovan that Miss Helen had been
missing for a few hours. While riding
in a launch, the Italian sailor attempted
to molest the trio, but failed. Miss Pat
announced her intention of fighting Henry
Holbrook and not seeking another hiding
place. Donovan met Helen in garden at
night. Duplicity of Helen was confessed
by, the young lady. She admitted conniving
with her father despite her aunts

sidered the matter I concluded that
Helen Holbrook could readily slip out
at the back Of the house, when. the
guards thus. met, and that she had
thus found egress on the night before.
At this moment the two guards met
precisely at the front door, and to my
surprise Sister Margaret, in the brown
garb of her sisterhood, stepped out,
nodded to the watchmen in the light
OF the overhan3ing lamp, and walked
slowly round the buildings and toward
the lake. The men promptly resumed
their patrol. The sister slipped away
like shadow through the garden;
and 1 dropped down from the wall in
side the school park and stole after
her. The guards were guilty of no
improperly in passing her; there was,
to be sure, no reason why Sister Mar
garet should not do precisely as she
liked at st. ,Agatha's. However, my
curiosity was piqued, and erept quiet

ct, and heard her light step on the
pier flooring; and / drew as near as l
dared, in the shadow of the boathouse.
She stood beside the upright staff
from which the pier lights swung
the white lantern between the two red
ones-looking out across the lake. The
lights outlined her tall figure distinct
ly. She peered about anxiously sew
eral times, and I heard the impatient
tap of her foot on the planks. In the
lake sounded the faint gurgle of water
round "a paddle, and in aumoment a
canoe glided to the pier and a man
stepped out, He bent down to seize
the painter, and 1 half turned away,
ashamed of the sheer curiosity that
had drawn me after the sister. Nuns
who chafe at their prison bars are not
new, either. to romance or history:
and this surely was no affair of mine.
Then the man stood up, and l saw that
it was Gillespie. He was hatless, and
his arms. were barred He began to
speak, but she ,quieted him with a
word; and as with a gesture she flung
back her brown hood, 1 saw that it

"We could almost walk to- the lake

Then, as we all turned to the lake,
seeing it afar across the -tree-tops
through the fragrant twilight, 1 saw
the Stiletto standing out. boldly upon
the waters of Annandale, with Ian
guild impudehce that 1a'began' to as
sociate with it's slim outlines and
snowy canvas. Other craft were
abroad, and Miss Pat, judged, spoke
only of the prettiness of the general
landscape, and there was to be jsure,
no reason why the sails of the Stiletto
should have had any particular signif1-
canoe. for her. Helen was still looking
down upon the lake when Miss Pat
suggested, that we should go home;
and even after her aunt called to her,
the girl still stood, one hand resting
upon the trunk of great beech. her
gaze bent ,wistfully, -mournfully to-
ward the lake. But on the homeward
drive-she had asked for the 'reins
again-her mood changed abruptly,
and she talked cheerily, often turning
her head-a scarlet-banded sailor hat
was, / thought, remarkably becoming
Ito chaff about her skill with the
reins.

There seemed to be sincerity in
their good spirits, and 1 was myself
refreshed and relieved as 1 drove into
Glenarm; but arranged for, the same

From the window of my room saw

Kernels.-The color OF the kernels should be

great space between the rows and a less quantity

small at the germ end and lack vitality.
Cob.-White varieties of corn should have
