He was but few hundred yards
from the house, yet the silence was so
deep that there might have been no
habitation within fifty miles. All at
once he stopped short; there was a
sudden movement in the thicket be-
yond-the sound Of light fast footballs,
as OF some one running away.
He made lunge for the dog. but
with growl Chum tore himself from
the restraining grasp and dashed into
the bushes. "A child. no doubt" he
thought as he plunged in pursuit, "and

He pulled up with an exclamation.

with wickedly Jagged sapling. He
saw instantly how 1t had happened;
the windfall had blocked the way, and
she had sprung clear over it, not
noting the screened spear, which now
held her as effectually as any railroad
spike.
In another moment Valiant had
reached her and met her face, flushed,
half defiant, her eyes a blue CLEAN Of
smoldering anger as she desperately.

OF flame-colored hair beneath the
broad curved br'm OF her straw hat.
At her feet lay great armful of cape

A little thrill, light and warm and
Joyous, ran through him. Until that
instant he had not recognized her.

Use Your Dictionary Every Day.

Writing an article entitled Treas
ure in Books in the April Woman's
Home Companion. Laura Spencer
Porter gives the following excellent
advice about the advantages to Ge
gained from the study Of the words:
The study of words: it may sound
to you dry thing, yet 1 promise you
1t is not, very far from it.
And this brings me to suggest
that the habit of one Of the great
writer's of studying carefully from a
good dictionary five words each day
is one from which We might all of us
get a good deal of profit. Or, take
good book of synonyms, for instance,
and learn from it each day five words
somewhat similar, comparing and
weighing carefully the meanings and
values Of them. Notice the degrees of
force in the following to dislike, to
hate, to loathe, to detest, to abhor-
each note struck is little stronger,
higher, we might say, like an as
cending cresc endo scale. So, to in
struct, to teach, to educate are each
quite different in meaning with great
nicely of difference. So, rebuke,
reprimand, censure, blame are all of
one color but of how different shades
OF meaning. SO, too, misfortune, ca
iamlty, disaster; SO, weak, feeble.
decrepit; and what delicate difference
between fame and renown, or femi-
nine and womanly and womanish"

London, March 26.-Tbe v;au, of
the Liberal morning papers is that
though yesterday was the b,ackest

words OF The Daily Chronicle ..i,
seemed as if its life was not worth
As hours purchase" now the air bas

The Chronicle remarks that in the
race of common danger from the To-
ries and the army combined, labor is
making common cause with Liberal
ism and whenever the genera, election
occurs, Laborites and Liberals will
stand shoulder to shoulder.
The Daily News in an editorial
says:

GLE"
The Express asserts that all gem
eral officers commanding divisions
throughout England have been or
dered to report at the war office be-
tween IL and II o'clock today.
The Morning Post, still insisting on
the existence of plot and urging I'm.
ionists in parliament to compel the
government to divulge the nature Of
the oral instructions given to Gen.
Paget, argues that Col. Seely's real
motive and only reason for adding
the two clauses to the guarantee
given to Gen. Cough was to prevent
tre disclosure Of the plot
The Post believes that Mr.. Asquith
refused to accept Col Seely's resig-
nation because Lord Morley also was
involved.
