The Worth Of the Voice

How wonderful is the human voice!
1t is indeed the organ of the soul!
The intellect of man sits enthroned
visibly upon his forehead and in hig
eye, and the heart of man is written
upon his countenance. But the soul
reveals itself in the voice only; as
God revealed himself to the prophet Of
old in the still, small voice, and in
the voice from the burning bush. The
s@il Of man is audible, not visible. A
sound alone betrays the flowing of the
eternal fountain, invisible to man.

the faint rise and fall of her breast

Then, just then, he saw the thing
that made Jeanne close her eyes, the
flashing sword-cut of that great gold

upon the other.
Roscoe dropped down, as II he had
been blasted by the sight Of a sword
ed archangel, in the shelter of his
rock. He lay there, prone, hugging
his head In his arms. He did not
rouse himself, did not succeed in fore
ing his treacherous nerves and mus
cles to obey his will until it was quite
dark. Then, without a glance behind
him, he arose and began scrambling
madly up the broken face of the talus,
and. reaching the top Of 1t, went on
and scaled the cliff itself. 1t was a
feat which even he could hardly have
accomplished except under the ex-
tremity Of terror.
For only SO long as was necessary
to regain his breath, he lay painting
upon the cliff-head. In the dark, rush
Ing along as If the ~precipitous trail he
followed had been a well-worn thor

pause until he found himself safe in

HAD BEEN SILENT SUFFERER
Subordinate Officer the Recipient o.
Hints Intended for His
Superior.

A sea captains wife tells this story
of a maiden woman, sister of one OF
the owners of the ship on which she
once made a long voyage. She had
very decided opinion on most matters,
and she and the captain had many
spirited arguments at the dinner table
The captains wife, a meek, submis
sive little soul, fearing that in the
heat Of argument her husband might
say something to offend their august
passenger, was in the habit of kick
ing him on the shins to hint at moder-
alton. Nevertheless, all these remind.
ers passed unheeded.
One day she administered a more
vigorous kick than usual, and noticed
an expression of pain fit across the
face of the mate, who tsat opposite
her.
ooh, Mr.. Brown, was that your
shin?" she asked.

meekly, hits been my shin hall the

CHAPTER XVII.
A state of siege.


Cayley's discovery of the tracks fur
nished the last element of the drama
which was to play itself out that win
ter upon this stage which. had been
so strangely set for 1t. 1t was just
three days since, flying slowly north
ward before a mild southerly breeze,
the ice pack below him, he caught his
first glimpse of the unknown land
where Captain Fielding had met his
tragic fate SO many years before. Three
days since he had witnessed, from
aloft, the murder of d man he might
have saved, the man to whom, had
he saved him, he might have turned
for exoneration from a stain upon his
name which was now ineradicable.
Three days ago he had thought his
world was empty, swept clean of hui
man concern and human affection.
Three days ago he had not known that
Jeanne Fielding existed.
AS for the identity of the monster
who had left the proof of his existence
in those tracks which Philip had dis
covered in the snow, they of course
had no certain knowledge; neverthe-
less, they entertained but little doubt
that he was Roscoe himself. The foot
prints were immense, Cayley said, and
their distance apart bespoke the stride
Of a giant.
If 1t were Roscoe who had been
| nr0tJnhipr 4hnna hAhfnd fhn hnrtIdnr
then it seemed to them unlikely that
he was here alone; unlikely that he
had not at least two or three Of his
crew with him.
That idea, when it first occurred to
them, brought little added terror with
1t. The person of the monstrous muir
derous ruffian, who was the chief
dwarfed his subordinates to pygmies
Yet when they came to think over the
situation, reasonably, this uncertainty
as to the number Of their enemy
proved a vital element in it. 1t put
an unequivocal veto upon Cayley's
first plan, which was to start out al
once and take the aggressive against
their enemy, before he should have
time to move against them.
This bit Of beach where the hut
stood was practically fortified. The
cliff behind 1t was absolutely sheer
and was capped with deep, perpetual
snow. Half a mile to the westward
was the promontory, and about hall
a mile up the beach from the hut, &c
the eastward, the glacier projected
its ice masses in a long foe out tt
seaward. This glacier provided the
only practicable means Of entrance Il
the interior valley and the ledge
where the gold was.

The fact that their enemy was

that Cayley's wings were all that
stood between them and an attack.
No terror attributable to human
causes would have held back that

mound up on the cliff-head that is

did not dig In the snow; he simply
packed 1t, gradually charging the
space from a section the size Of the

cliffs edge wide enough for the full

Jeanne was watching on the beach
when he made his first fight from
this aerie, and, in spite of her CON
f1dence in his powers, she endured a
horrible moment or two. For he came

of 60 degrees; and he had traversed
two-thirds of the distance to the beach
before his line DETECTED outward and
began curving up toward the hort

When she saw that he was safe
that he had really done the thing he
had said he could, she dropped down
upon a bear-skin, which was spread
before the hut, and shut her eyes, fol
what she had seen had turned her Q

$I.0O PER YEAR
C0NVlCTS BE USED TO
OPERATE LIME PLANT
Governor Mann Favors Cheap Lime
Fc1 ehe Farmer

1t is safe guess that Governor
Mann, in his forthcoming message
to the next Legislature, will urge
the passage OF the so.called lime
quarry bill, which is designed to
utilize convict labor and at the same
time aid the farmers of this common
wealth, says the Richmond Journal.
The plan is to have the convicts
operate plant or plants for the
grinding OF limestone rocks. The
rock when pulvsrizsd makes fine
"sweetener" for the soil and what
is more it can be easily handled
without hurt to man or beast. The
same, by the way, cannot be said of
all of the other lines which at some
seasons have been known to cause
much vexation OF spirit.
Governor Mann, before he MAKES
his recommendations, will thorough
ly post himself as to the cost of the
proposed quarries and the price of
which their product may be sold.
Already be has a great deal OF
information on the subject-infor-
nation which conYinces him that
the scheme merits favor.
Basing his conclusions partially
on what he has learned about the
State quarries in Illinois re says
that the lime he has in mind can be
sold at sixty cents the ton and he
has the promise Of railroads which
agree to haul it at half cent the
hundred pounds. In other words
farmers living not over 200 miles
from the quarries ought to get the
lime, freight paid, at $3.50. or
course, however, there would be
some small additional cost for bag
ging.
TIE use of the pulverised lime
stone does not preclude the use Of
fertilizers and therefore the ferti-
liZer manufacturers ought not tc OPP
pose the proposed measure, but the
effect of the bills passage naturally
would be to put the State in COM
petition with the private lime man
ufacturers.
