A Few Days Before He Would Have
Counted This Walk to ST. James
One of the Events of His Life.

AS he entered the grove through
which the councillor had guided him
the night before his eagerness be-
came almost excitement. He ap-
preached the great log house swiftly
but cautiously, keeping as much from
view as possible. AS he came under
the window through which he had
looked upon the king and his wives
his heart leaped with anticipation,
with hope that was strangely mingled
with fear. For only moment he
paused to listen, and notwithstanding
the seriousness Of his position he
could not repress smile as there
came to his ears the crying of chill
dren and the high angry voice Of q
woman. He passed around to the
front Of the house. The door of
Strang's castle was wide open and un-
guarded. No one had seen his ap-
proach; no one accosted him as he
mounted the low steps; there was no
one in the room into which he gazed
a moment later. 1t was the great hall
into which he had spied few hours
previous. There was the long table
with the big book on it, the lamp
whose light had bathed the girls
head in halo Of glory, the very chair
in which he had found her sitting!
He was conscious of throbbing in
his breast. longing to call out-if he
only knew her name
In the room there were four closed
doors and it was from beyond these
that there came to him the wailing of
children. A fifth door was open and
through it he saw cradle gently
rocking. Here at last was visible life,
| or motion at least, and he knocked
Loudly. Very gradually the cradle
ceased It's movement Then it stopped,
and woman came out into the larger
room In moment Nathaniel recog-
nized her as the one who had placed
caressing hand upon the bowed
i; head of the so6Ding girl the night be-
| fore. Her face was of pathetic beau
| ty. Its whiteness was startling. He.
| eyes shone with an unhealthy luster
| and her dark hair, falling in heavy
curls over her shoulder, added to the
wonderful pallor of her cheeks.
| Nathaniel bowed. II beg your par
don. madam; i came to see Mr.
Strang," he said.
You will find the king at his Of
fee" she replied.
The woman's voice was low, but sc
sweet that 1t was like music to the
ear. AS she spoke she came nearer
and faint flush appeared in the
/, transparency of her cheek
why do you wish to see the kingf'

been so successful as superintendent
of our public school during the past
year, is severing his connection with
us in that relation we, the school
board of the school district of Conway,
Ark, hereby express our appreciation
Of his services.
"We consider this one of the best
years the school has ever known and
regard it as due, in a very great de
J gree, to tae uperintendent' untiring
energy and a!ertness and his ability
to marshal the forces about him in his
efforts to build up the school and Sc
! cure what 1t needs most. We note with
pleasure the many improvements, the
most important of which are a con-
venient and sanitary drinking foun-
tain planned and made almost entirely
| by him; a good laboratory furnished
the science department on his advice,
the largest and best-selectad public
school library in the state, secured by
his efforts, and finally, the interest in
creased in preserving the school prop
erty and beautifying the grounds.
1--WE also note the satisfactory re-
suits in all the gardes, the perfect
harmony between the superintendent
and the faculty, and the excellent spi-
rit that prevails throughout the en-
tire school.
While we rejoice with Mr.. Hubbell
in his promotion and congratulate

vice Of man who succeeds in what
he undertakes, and while we extend to
him our best wishes in his new field of
