Q royal army, with drums beating and colors flying, marches through the gigan- tic arch; he devours whole granary for breakfast, and eats a herd of cattle for dinner, and washes down his meal with all the hogsheads of cellar.

Now, was Gulliver tall or short man? Why, fin his own house at Rotherhithe. he was thought man of the ordinary stature.

ON THE BIRTHDAY OF POETRY

grope painfully for the one necessary word. Unlike the others, however, they are never happy until they find it. It was so in fiction with Sentimental Tom my" who Hunked in his thesis, searching vainly the wild waste of idiomatic Scotch for the one hour, biting, blasting, clinch- ing nugget of the mother tongue needed to express his exact meaning. In the actual literary world, and by their own confessions, Dickens and Thacl1eray and Tennyson went through the same travail of soul, struggling as' painfully and aiA most as hopelessly as the cub over his first human interest story. And in our own day another fair confessor, Mrs. Mabel Herbert Urner. has laid bare the sordid literary method of at least ofie modern writer to attain success. with her account of notebooks and diaries, of end less cribbed descriptions of eyes, and glances, and noses, of the records of con versations overheard in flats and sub ways, of the copying of scareheads and street signs; all with refreshing candor, but to the certain damnation of a whole brood of partial imitators, who will at, tempt her methods but never her pains taking labor.
 It is very kind of these gifted writers to take us into their confidence. Yet we scarcely thank them. It is far preferable to think, as in our guileless innocence. that they caught the message from an- other sphere; that they heard the words, as Joan of Arc the voices; that the visions came unannounced. as did the fairy god mother to Cinderella, in the quiet of the night, banishing for golden hour the memory of the days drudgery and the dead ashes on the hearth.

said Thorne at last.
Funny" was all that Rowland said.
For the first time Rowland noticed
that the thin muslin curtain, which he
thought had screened a window, con
cealed. in place Of a window. a care
fully fitted barricade of plank. A sud
| den thrill shot through him as he rose
to examine 1t. with his back toward

low who clipped off his finger would

1t was 10 o'clock when Thorne n
Jackpine left the cabin. No sooner
had they gone than Rowland closed
and barred the door. lighted another
cigar and began pacing rapidly up and
down the room. Already there were
developments. Gregson had lied to
him about his finger. Thogne had lied
to him about his own injuries. what
ever they were. He was certain of
these two things-and of more Tbe
two senior engineers were not leaving
the Wekusko because of mere dissatis-
faction with the work and country.
They were fleeing. And for some rea-
son they were keeping from him the
real motive for their fight. Was i.
possible thai they were deliberately
sacrificing him In order to save them
selves? He could not bring himself
to believe this. Notwithstanding the
evidence against them. Both were
men of irreproachable honor.
He was tired from his long days
travel, but little inclination to sleep
came to him, and, stretching himself
out on the lounge with his head and
shoulders bolstered up with furs, he
continued to smoke inc think. He
was surprised when a little clock tin
killed. the hour of eleven. He had not
seen the clock before. He vas almost
asleep when 1t struck again softly
n yet with sufficient loudness to
arouse him. 1t had struck twelve.
With an effort Rowland overcame
his drowsiness and dragged himself to
a sitting posture, knowing that he
should undrass and go TO bed. The
lamp was still burning brightly, and
he arose to turn down the wick. Sud
denly he stopped. To his dulled senses
there came distinctly the sound of II
knock at the door. For a few mo
ments he waited, silent and motionless
1t came again, louder than before.
Who could be his midnight visitor
Softly Rowland went back to his
heavy coat and slipped his small re,
volver into his hip pocket. The knock
came again. Then he walked to the
door, shot back the bolt and. with his
right hand gripping the butt of his pis'
toll, flung 1t wide open.
For a moment he stood transfiXed
staring speechlessly at a white. star
tied face lighted up by the glow of the
oil lamp. Bewildered to the point OF
numbness. he backed slowly, holding
the door open, and there entered the
one person In all the world whom he
wished most to see-she who had be
come so strangely a part Of his life
since that first night ut Prince Albert
and whose sweet face was holding a
deeper meaning for him with every
hour that he lived. He closed the door
and turned. still without speaking;
and. impelled by n sudden spirit that
sent the blood thrilling through his
veins, he held out both hands to the
girl for whom he now knew that he
was willing to lace all the perils that
might await him between civilization
and the bay.

He punched his shoulders again as
he opened the door of the big box
stove which stood in the room.
Rowland asked no questions. but
stared about him. Everywhere he saw
evidences of the taste and one time
~tenancies of the two senior engineers.
"Afraid. Ell? And am I to stay hereT'
"Gregson I'm Thorne say yes"
"well, J~ackpine. you lust hustle over
TO the camp and tell Thorne I'm here.
will your"
For a moment the Indian hesitated.
then went out and closed the door
after him.
Rowland lighted a small lamp and
opened the door leading into the other
room. 1t was. as he had surmised. the
sleeping chamber. The bed, a single
chair and n mirror and stand were its
sole furnishing.
Returning to the larger room. he
threw Off his coat and hat and seated
himself comfortably before the fire
Ten minutes later the door opened
again and Jackpine entered. he was
supporting another figure by the arm,
and as Rowland stared into the blood
less face of the man who came with
him he could not repress the exclama-
ton Of establishment which rose to his
lips. Three months before he had last
