CHAPTER xxx.
At Idle Hour,


TSRoM her window Elizabeth saw
the gray dawn which ushered in
that June day steal over the
valley below Idle Hour. Swiftly out
of the darkness of the long night
grew the accustomed shape of things.
Wooded pastures and plowed fields
came mysteriously into existence as
the light spread, then the sun burst
through the curtain of mist which lay
along the eastern horizon, and it was
day-the day of his death.
Their many failures trooped up out
of the past and Knocked her; because
of them he must die. They had gone
with feverish haste from hope to
hope to this dread end Perhaps she
had never really believed before that
day and hour would overtake them
when effort would promise nothing.
But now the very sense of tragedy
filled that silent morning, and her
soul was in fearful companionship
with it, A flood of wild imaginings
swept her forward across the little
space of time that was left to her
lover. Gasping for breath. she
struggled with the grim horror that
was growing up about him. His awful
solitude came to her as a reproach;
she should have remained with him to
the end. Was there yet time to &c
back, or would she be too late? When?
When? And she asked herself the
question she had not dared to ask of
her father.
The day showed her the distant
roofs of Mount Hope; the day showed
her the square brick tower of the
Court house--living or dead, John
North was in its very shadow. She
crouched by the window, her arms
resting on the ledge and her eyes
fixed on the distant tower. How hao
the night passed for him-had hi
slept? and the pity of those lonely
hours brought the tears to hel
burning eyes. She heard her father
come slowly down the hall; he paused
before her door
"Elizabeth--dear!" his voice was
very gentle. i
Yes. father
But she did not change her position
at the window.
won't you come downstairs
dear?' he said
II cannot-"and then she felt the
selfishness of. her refusal, and added
II will be down in a moment. IL
have not quite finished dressing
yeti"
~John North had thought always OF
others, In the moment of his su.
premest agony, he had spoken not
at all of himself; by word or look he
had added nothing to the sorrow thai
was crushing her This had beer
genuine courage.

Christian Spirit,

DR.. Charles II. Parkhurst said at a
Presbyterian banquet in New York:
"At all seasons. and at the Christ
mas season especially we should
avoid quarreling and try to bring
about a spirit of good will.

Healy, and I'll join you at sharp.

Up or Down.

A lawyer was cross-examining an
old German about the position of the
doors, windows, and so forth, in a
house in which a certain transaction
occurred
And now, my good man. said the
lawyer, will you be good enough &c
tell the court how the stairs run in
the house?"
The German looked daaed and un-
settled for a moment. How do the

About Colors.

The principle that the sensation OF
white results from the equal excite
ment of sensations produced by the
three fundamental radiations is de
duced naturally from an analysis of
the rules of the harmony of colors.
Colored lights do not focus at the
same point. therefore the eye must
seize different distances at the same
time in order to see when different
colored surfaces touchl The differ
ence of refrangibility of the different
colored rays causes some colors to
stand outs and others to stand back.
Red is the most flying or "tapering"
of the colors. a red object always APP
pearing to be farther away than a
blue object. though it is seen on the
same plane and in the same light

Age and Environment.

A great deal is said and written
about the rugged old farmers of
So" but they look more like 100. while
there are scores of men in the city
who step off quite briskly to their
offices. keen of intellect and active
of body at 80, as many younger man
has learned in attempting to deal
with them. And the city man of 30
looks about so. while the average
farmer of so looks more like an octo-

clans the country over have agreed
that their observations lead to the
conviction that the country man does
not average one bit healthier than
the city man. -Chicago American.

Ourselves.

The things that are unseen are the
true forces and substances of life
wisdom, love or desire, ideals.
The things that are seen are ever
changing for something better.
Therefore, we look within for our
peace and happiness and we value a
clear conscience above rubies. We
value above loves. lands and honors
that inner quiet, the well-done of the
universal spirit witnessing with ours
that all is well, no matter what
passes.-El Elizabeth Towne in Nautilus.

THEY FOOL THE FOWL.
Wild Duck Hunters In China Arc Willy

A full grown wild duck IS one OF the
most wary Of all animals. and many
are the devices of hunters in various
parts of the world to kill or to capture
it. There is one method Of taking
wild ducks in considerable numbers
practiced in China and elsewhere IN
the east which is sufficiently unknown
to occidentals to prove of interest.

FEATHERED TYRANTS.
All the Fowls Of the Air Dread the
Muscicapa Birds.


Police work is the strangest of the
work done in the world of birds. In
France and central Europe the musci-
capa birds police the air, posted on
telegraph wires. Black, with heads
decorated with orange fillets, these
notable f1ycatchers are dreaded by
the brigands of the air. Eagles, fall
cons and all the feathered strong men
of the ether shrink from an encounter
with this tyrant. When the tyrant
cannot find wires to perch on he
perches on a pole. When stationed in
a prairie or a pasture he perches upon
the back of an OK. He lives by hunt
ing insects and attacks all birds. even
the strongest. using beak and claws
in the unequal struggle. All the fowls
Of the air fear the police bird. and
even the most active pillagers Of the
nests feign honesty when under the
sharp eye of the Muscicapa URANUS.
In winter the tyrant takes posses
sion of the warm shelters priced by
birds. In spring, when the young are
twittering in the nests. the tyrant
turns thief and sows terror among
friends and enemies alike. Even the
sparrows banded to fall upon a field
fly away when they see the black coat
and orange fillet Of the policeman"
The tyrant holds his power by his
audacity. All animals yield to the
influence of courage. quality special
ly tenacious in birds. The tyrant bird
is small, but his attitude command
respect.-Harper's Weekly.

RAILROAD NOTES

Representatives of several traction
companies conferred with the rail-
road commission of Indiana Tuesday
in regard to proposed legislation to be
recommended by the commission in
its forthcoming annual report. a
similar conference was held several
days ago with representative of
steam lines. The commission has TAX
en- under advisement petition of citi-
Zens of Rushville, New Castle and in
termediate points on a branch of the
Lake Erie and Western railroad. The
petitioners presented their side of the
case several days ago and the rail-
roads made answer Tuesday. The
railroad contends that the passenger
business between the two towns is
not sufficient to warrant the opera
ton of two trains a day and of the
substitution of a passenger train for
a combination freight and passenger
train.

RATES SUSPENDED.

A freight tariff filed on behalf of
all the western lines and providing
that joint through class rates will not
apply between Missouri river points
and Mississippi river transfer points
and certain stations between ST.
Louis and Memphis, was suspended
Tuesday by the interstate commerce
commission until may l. The effect
of the proposed tariff would be to in
crease the first class rate % cents
per 100 pounds, with proportionate
increases on the lower classes. The
effect of the proposed tariffs would
be to advance the rate from Portland,
Ore, to Chicago from IS cents per 100
pounds to SO cents; and from Port
land to New York from So cents to
$108R. Rates between other points
show a similar advance.

Ben Brownell, who has added many
points to the football, basketball, base
ball and track scores for Earlham col
lege has left Earlham for Whittier
college, California. Brownell jumped
into prominence last year when he
proved to be one of the football stars

the only freshman to make the basket
ball team. This year he proved one
of the most consistent ground gamers
