 An old friend of yours, my Lady v called out blunt Pierre.
 A moment the clear. brown eyes seemed to waver; then became steady, as schooled to some purpose. She came forward composedly; gave the Black Seigneur her hand.
 "I-am always glad to see old friends!" said my lady, with lift Of the head, over-conscious. perhaps. of the concentrated gaze of the company.
 He looked at her; made perfume tory answer; she seemed about to speak again, when the hand he let tal! was caught by another.
 "Elise!" From among those who had come ashore, man in fashionable attire sprang forward, little thinner than when last she had seen him, and more cynical-looking. as slightly soured by world-contact and the new tenden, cies of society.
 My Lord!" Certainly was my lady taken unawares; a moment looked at the Marquis as if little startled; then at the Black Seigneur:
 "A pleasant surprise for you, my Lady," said the latter. But you owe me no thanks! An order from the chief of the Admiralty. properly signed and countersigned, directing me to transport the Marquis de Beauvillers hither, was not to be disregarded!"
 "A somewhat singular dispensation of Providence, nevertheless! observed the nobleman dryly. After our-what shall We call it?-little passage of arms? You must acknowledge, how. ever, that in truth the Lady Elise and myself had some reason to discredit your assurances that night"
 Far be it from me to dispute it. my Lord and the Black Seigneur turned while the Marquis. slightly shrugging his shoulders, addressed my lady.

 Daylight slowly waned; lights were brought in, and, the meal over, old Pierre pushed back in his chair My lady rose quickly; looked little con strainedly at the company. at the Mar ouis. then toward the door. Anticipat- ing her desire, attributing to 1t, per haps, a significance fiattering to his vanity, the young nobleman expressed a wish for a stroll; sight of the gar den. At once she assented; slight tint now on her cheeks, she moved to the door, and my lord followed; as they disappeared, the Black Seigneur laughed-at one of Pierre's jokes!
 Have I not told it before?" said the host.
 Have you?" murmured the Black Seigneur. Well. a good jest, like an eXCSlISDt ulsu, Ilioy "Sii oo SSi'So twice"

N. E. Church Notices.

A Christmas programme was
given at the Methodist church last
Sunday evening. A large crowd
was present. The programme con
sisted OF vocal and instrumental
music and reading. The songs
we're very appropriate for the oc-
casion and splendidly rendered.
The real treat of the evening
was the reading, Van Dykes Wise
Men Of the East, by Mrs. Perry
Thomson. Every man, woman
and child that was present, enjoy
ed it and the way it was rendered
showed much preparation and
study.
Let the churches have more ser
vices like this and a greater inter
est will be taken in church work,
especially by the children.
