7 was Father O'Mara who lifted
the crumpled little form from the
forest mold. He reached her side
even before L'Acadienne, and
that was quickly indeed. He bore her
back to Valette, and he and the one
old servant left Of the many of other
days did what they could for her. She
came to herself at length. Round
wondering eyes opened. But she said
no word; only little moan passed her
lips.
Father O'Mara brought the candle
closer. Round eyes turned up to his
He started back, for in those eyes
there was no expression save a great
emptiness. He shivered little. Old
Louise crossed herself.
1.-THE soul is goner' she cried. God
be merciful to us!'
1t was no more than a day and a
night ere she was able to rise from
the bed. She seemed to know people
their faces; she seemed to know her
surroundings. She did not suffer, for
there was neither pain nor joy nor Of
that which lies between. All was a
great emptiness and nothing more.
Father O'Mara, his heart pain wiring,
spent much time with her-much hope
less, helpless, cruelty rewardless time
Old Louise waited on her cease!essly.
Her father knew that she was there,
yet he came not to see her, and he
forbade those Of his household to 60
except Louise.
They spoke Of M. de Valette, did the
old organist and the priest, who came
to visit the girl.
IA strange hearted man-monsieur,' ~
mused O'Mara. "He must take care
AS ye do unto these little ones.'"
"Strange hearted" repeated Le-
maitre, wagging his old head. Gin the
night you can hear him walking

the great emptiness might have been

O'Mara. ''Her very incapacity for

Mile. de Valette shook her head slow

"Why do you cry?" the empty voice
asked. "That's only one Of Gods ways,
isn't it?"
Goods ways" cried Mile. de valette.
Goods punishment Of sin!'
The priest turned upon her.
"God's way!" he cried vehemently.
''Do you think worm in the dust can
understand why man rides by? Do
you think that because we can see the
beginning Of one of Gods thoughts our
little minds can follow to the end of
what he is thinking? Down here in the
dust we call them Gods ways, but
they are only mans mistakes. Down
the river there were men-God's crea-
lures, brothers they should have been
killing each other! And they killed
this boy! There's one old man over
yonder so filled with phantoms and
cobwebs and the ghosts of things that
shouldn't have been that he let's his

! Now it came to pass that Crawley,
the recruit of the shock hair and the
nerveless spine, had lied. The massa-
ere that he said he had seen had been
no massacre. The defeat had been a
victory. While the others had fought
shoulder to shoulder, he had lain jowl
by jowl with Fear deep in the forest
And that Fear had breathed into his
ear the things that he had come back
to tell-breathed so insistently that he
who listened had come to believe them
almost as so.
Gilbert Steele came back from the

was not deadly-came back with JOY

in her to do what little she might in

State Furnishes Charts.

St. Anthony Park, May 11-To
the Willmar Tribune)- The col
ored charts Of insects and useful
birds are rapidly being sent out to
the public schools Of the State by
the State Entomologist. Over six
thousand have already gone out,
and most counties have already OBJ
tanned their quota. To obtain
these charts schools must make ap-
plication to their county superin-
tendent. They cost nothing to the
schools, being provided by the
State.
Useful insects are also shown,
and there are quite full explana-
tions under each figure. This chart
is the best thing of the kind ever
published.
After all the schools are sup
piled, if any charts remain, requests
from libraries and other public in
situations will be considered.
