6sA VII appeared to grow and take shape until seemed to see the face of one 1 knew. The image grew brighter until Minnie Pipkin, 'divinely tall, and most divinely fair" smiled at me as of old. The shadows about her, flickered and parted, and there appeared the instrum ent she loved, before which a child was seated, with sheets of music spread before it, and when its fingers strayed over the keys, the teachers loving hand ever placed them right. Could Minnie's most cherished dream have come true? It seemed even 50.
 Then the picture grew divine, but only for moment. The music was still there, and Min nie grown a little older, was seated at the instrument, but it had great gilded pipes, that reached to the vaulted roof of a beautiful church, where a bril- liant young minister reverently dismissed his people and I could almost hear the inspiring music, as the organist touched the keys. "Oh!" thought, as the shadows closed over the picture, Minnie, you have surely reached the heights of your ambition" but even then the picture changed. It seemed to be the same church but another orgaliist was in my classmates place and another minister stood at the altar, while before him stood my classmate, and at her side was the young minister. and as l seemed to lis- ten to those wor1d-old vows that made them one, the flame went out.
 I changed my gaze quickly to the second candle, whose flame seemed tipped with red, and as I gazed, another we'll known face appeared, and Oscar McCreight seemed to look at me with the same inquiring look that he used to wear when geometry prob- lens were especially hard. But he again bent over his work, and looking closer, saw that he held a sheaf of brushes. and with paints at hand, was putting the finishing touches to a small but beautiful piece of water-color work. The room in which he worked seemed filled with quiet studying figures, each with a drawing in painting which the master in passing praised or criticised, and, as he passed be- fore Oscars work, he seemed to be we'll pleased and praised it greatly. Then the candles flame wavered, and l saw a great room whose walls were lined with beautiful pictures, and before one of the brighest gem of the collection, stood throngs of ad- miring people, while at a little distance was Oscar, his proud shining face seeming to say, That is my masterpiece; the result of my labor. '
 Then the flame faded and I| turned to the next candle, al straight, sturdy one, whose flame .leaped up eagerly and then burned steadily. 1 watched it almost breathless, for fear l should lose one. shadow in the| changing picture that was be:1

British Strikers Hold Out For Mini

London. March 7.-Official state

numerous conferences held in con-
nection with the coal strike were de-
void of information as to the results.
if any, achieved. The negotiations
were renewed this morning with hopes
that a speedy settlement would be
reached but nothing has been disclos-
ed indicating progress in that direc-
ton. AS result rumors are abund-
ant but all apparently are founded on
surmise.
The miners representatives con
ferred with the premier and his col
leagues for nearly three hours and
the official report says that at Mr..
Asquiths request they promised to
attend further conferences, eff de-
sired From this it is deduced that
the premier has not yet abandoned
hope of finding a basis for agreement
between the disputants. 1t is said
that the miners adhered steadfastly
to their previous declarations thai
they would not consent to any settle
ment which did not assure the adop-
tion of their own schedule of mini
mum rates.
In the house of Commons the
prime minister characterized as pure
ly imaginary the newspaper reports
that he would introduce minimum
wage bill today.
The archbishop of Canterbury APP
pealed in special prayers for ter
mination OF the strike. Meanwhile
the miners continue to be masters of
the situation. Industrial paralysis is
