face of man, rich, the widest romance
with its charm and mystery to attract.
His story could not be hid, neither
could hers. The man would be court
ed, sought after, made much over, be.
loved. It would be enough to turn the
head of a saint. How would he stand
it? Would the recollection of her
make him strong? Would that God in
whom he and she both had trusted
until the crisis came, lead him in the
straight path? Would her purity, her
sweetness-stop! would he think her
thus lowered and possessed? Not
now, certainly, but every hour that
took him farther from her would add
to his knowledge and would tell him
the truth and these would help him.
She pictured him, not happy away
from her, overwhelmed by her death
surely, saddened beyond present com.
fort it must be, yet so occupied that
insensibly his grief would be light
ened by the only thing after all that
makes life bearable in certain con-
~tingencies, and that is work. Work!
She, too, had work to do.
She rose to her feet doggedly as she
thought of that and considered what
she could do. Her eyes fell upon the
ashes of the signal fire. She contem'
plated it as the specter of some Hindu
woman whose body had been burned
upon such an affair might look upor
her pyre. 1t was she who had lighted
the beacon. Her hand had called the
world to her side. She thought how
he had begged her not to do so, how
he had declared himself content anC
happy to live with her alone-th'
world forgetting, by the world forgot
For the first time she broke dow
completely. She buried her face il
her hands, her body reeled and shool
with sobs, the tears trickled through
her fingers.
She must make another beacon, sh
thought. And then it came to her tina

The Resurrection.

ING ttSSAih SLrch
The little island lay quiet and still
under the rising sun. No football
pressed its bosky glades, beneath the
shadows of it's spreading palms, no hui
man being sought shelter from the
suns fierce rays, no words were
echoed back from its jutting crags, no
figures flashed across it's shining
sands. Soundless it lay save for the
cry of the bird and the rustic Of the
gentle wind across its hills. For we'll
nigh 30 years it had not been SO
abandoned. Two days past it had re-
sounded with the cries of men scaling
its heights, crashing through its cop
pices, calling a name, beseeching an
answer. Two days before great ships
had drifted idly under it's lee. 1t had
been the center and focus Of great
events. Now it lay desolate, alone.
On that morning the tide which had
drawn away from it through the long
night had turned and was coming
back. The force of the water spent
itself upon the barrier. Within the
lagoon it lay placid, rising gently inch
by inch in mighty overflow. A watcher,
had there been one, would have seen
at sunrise the still water Of the Ia
COON broken by a ripple, a keen eye
might have noticed at the base of the
cliff where it ran sheer down into the
blue, a dark object moving beneath the
surface. The eye could scarcely have
become aware of its presence before
the waters parted. A little splash and
a head rose dark crowned, white faced.
There was a sidewise wav and shake
of the head and a pair of eyes opened.
The blue of the water was lightened
by flashes Of white arms. As the
body rose higher under the impetus OF
strokes, vigorous yet graceful, II
could be seen that it was that Of a
woman.
With ease and grace the figure

it was joined by a jutting spit OF sand
which widened and widened into q
great strip of beach that ran around
the island. Upon this sand presently
the Swallowing of the water gave the
swimmer a foothold. Progress ceased
With eyes haggard, yet keenly alert
the sea, the shore, the beach, the
cliffs, the trees were eagerly searched
The long glances revealed nothing
Then the head was turned and the cal
listened for sounds and heard nothing
The look Of apprehension faded int
one Of dull relief.
Walking now, the woman in thu
water made her way toward the sand
Very white she cleaned in the full
warm light streaming from the risei
sun against the background of thu
dark black rock. The water dripping
from her exquisitely graceful limbs
she looked a very nymph of the sea a.

Among the many Americans who

Orthwein, the noted American curler.
Mr.. Orthwein, at the last meeting
Of the st. NORTH Curling club, told an
amusing story of an Irish stew.
"We we're playing Davos," said the
rudy and robust American. Il told

GAMERS ACTED ON
WILSON'S ADVICE
Deny They Have Any Intention Of
Getting Into Controversy Over
PreserVatives,

New York, Feb. 24.-Some appre-
hension has arisen over the report of
the Gamers convention at Atlantic
City, n. J., on Feb. 10 to the effect
that the gathering had ignored that
portion of Secretary Wilson's letter
advising the convention not TO get in-
volved in the trade controversy over
the use OF preservatives. Ofhcers of
the Gamers association say that. In
stead of ignoring this resolution.
thanks to Wilson was adopted and a
declaration made that, outside OF the
necessary use of water in the process
ing some items, nothing is used in
packing fruits, vegetables or fish in
addition to sugar and salt. Also, that
convention considers only such mat
ters as directly pertain to the packing
of canned fruits, vegetables and fish.

DEBATING SHIP SUBSIDY
GaIIinger Introduces Measure in Sem
ate Which Has Approval of
the President.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The house
took up the postofice appropriation
bill today and ordered a night session
for debate on the measure. Helm Of
Kentucky made a speech today in the
house opposing the ship subsidy. His
opposition was based on general lines.
Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire
appeared yesterday as the sponsor for
ship subsidy in the senate. He intro
duced a bill following closely his bill
of two years ago and similar to the
first section of the Humphrey bill,
which the house committee on mer-
chant marine and fisheries has report
ed favorably to the house.
The Gallinger bill does not embrace
all the features of the Humphrey bill,
and omits the provision for tonnage
duty on ships entering American ports.
other restrictive features of the
Humphrey bill are also absent from
the new senate measure. The CALM
ger bill provides for an increase in
payment for ocean mail service under
the act of 1891 on mail routes to South
America, the PHILIPPINES, Japan, China

petition was filed for a rebearing OF
this case. 1t is held by the attorney
general the supreme court should have
refused to consider the constitutional
ity of the act because that question
was not raised in the trial court.
Meet at Chicago.
Chicago, Feb. 24.-The justices of
the supreme court of Illinois, at a
meeting, in Chicago, issued an order
yesterday directing that all further
proceedings in the Joyce case, which
resulted in the parole law of 1899 be-
ing declared invalid. be stayed until
the April term of court
It also was announced that the de-
cision in the Joyce case shall not be
acted on as final judgment until the
petition for a rehearing is disposed Of
This means that attempts to secure
the release of prisoners in the state
penitentiaries on the theory that the
parole law of 1899 is void will be in
effectual until the supreme court is
again heard from.
What Decision Means.
The step taken by the supreme court
justices also means that the separa-
ton of numerous state employees from
the payroll has been deferred indef-
nitely.
The decision in the Joyce case set
forth that a statute which not only
created an Office or board, such as the
parole board. but also fixed the COM
pensation of its members. is invalid.
This conclusion struck directly at the
