Episode.

Fortune had Immediately returned from
the bazaars. And a kind Of torpor blan-
keted her mind, usually SO fertile and
active. For q time the process of the evo-
luton of thought was denied her; she
tried to think. but there was an appalling
lack of continuity. Of broken threads. 1t
was like one Of those circumferential rail-
ways-she travelled, but did not get any

for his own sake. but too little for hers.
listIess, and indeterminedly Hkened her
condition to driftwood in the ebb and flow
of beach waves. The color and commo-
ton OF the streets were no longer alb
sorbed; it was as II she were riding
through emptiness, through the unreality
of a dream. She was oppressed and sti-
fed, too; harbinger Of storms.
Mechanically she dismissed the carriage
at the hotel. mechanically she went to her
room, and in this semi-conscious mood sat
down in a chair. and there Georges wish
found her, futilely. Oh, there was one
thing clear, clear as the sky outside. All
was not right: something was wrong: and
this wrong upon one side concerned her
mother. her uncle and Ryanne. and upon
the other side Mr.. Jones' Think ana

her no single illumination. Four blind
walls surrounded her. The United Ro-
nance and Adventure Company-there
could not possibly be such q thing In ex-
istence; 1t was Jest of Ryanne's to cover
up something far more serious.
She pressed her eyes with hand. They

that morning, always keened the edge of
her appetite: and yet. there was no crav-

Where was her mother? II she would

nor reasonable. II not as q child. but as
one they dared not trust. then they were
afraid Of her. But why? She pressed
her hands together. impotently. Ryanne,
clever as he was, had made q slip or
two which he had sought to cover up with

to be q rogue unless his tongue had got
the better OF his discretion?s II he was q

A Word Of Thanks

at is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive" Acts 20, 35. Would like to take
this method OF saying word to our
kind friepds and neighbors, who in per
son or gifts visited US Thursday evening
last. II we had known it We would
have tried to have had more lamps trim
med and burning. But the enjoyment
Of such an occasion is, that it is com
plete surprise. 1t seemed odd to us
that brother and sister Close deemed it
so necessary to call when she had rheu
matism so that it was difficult for her
to get around and they seemed SO will
ling to sit in the dining room tho the
front room was warm. But the first
hint that either Mrs Nc or l had, was
when they came in and some one said
Surprised. And the many nice things
they brought We had been gettin a
long on what odds and ends of grocer
les we had moved with us. We try to
pay cash as we go or go with out. Our
more. la our ministry we never had a
nicer donation. So it seemed like Xmas
eve-as if the next day aught to be Xmas,
many things given and all useful we
appreciate your kindness, and hope our
work among you will be so blessed of
the Lori that you will never regret the
giving. But most we appreciate the
fact that you had it in your hearts to be
kind to us-to make our stay here pleas
ant, make us feel at home among you, to
let US know that you are interested and
want to make our burdens light If we
should ever get discouraged it will help
us to remember Whist you have done
for us. We appreciate the gift but we
remember that back of the giving is the
good heart of the giver that we appre-
ciate most. May your kindness to us
be to you like bread cast upon the water
and thou shalt find it after many days
returned tn thee in blessing.
