supposedly queried.
Haven't you heard that the plant
is to start up again?"
'Why, no. That will be good news
for the town, indeedw
Eyes, Moore has made all the ar
engagements. 1t appears he has no
money, but a marvellous business
adaptabAity. He has got some capt.
talists to furnish a large amount of
capital, bond the business and put
him in charge as manager. We have
co-operated with him for enough to
give him very advantageous lease"
Then began big events for Sunday
town. The qniet, humdrum routine
of the place was invaded. Bustle,
activity, progress became the order
of the day. The plant was recon-
structed, new machinery installed.
Old workmen who had moved from
the town were recalled. The cottages
were put in shape for these new ten
ants. Storekeepers and hotel men
were attracted to the place. =.
Through it all, consistently quiet,
yet forceful, the strangely silent
Moore day by day built up the revived
business. His eye and thoughts were
everywhere. The number of en-
ployes doubled in a year. The big
factory turned out its product daily
in carload lots. A happy, contented
working community grew up around
the great plant.
One year, two years, three years,
and then a great event was chron-
icled in the little weekly news Jour-
nal published at Sunday town. Paul
Moore had piled up such great profits
that be had paid off the bond issue,
bought out all the other interests and
had become the sole owner of the
business.

from being conspicuous.
81 wish to ask you something
about the family of Mr.. North" he
said to Judge Martin one day.
The lawyer told him that Miss Eu-
nice North was teaching school. The
rent income from the plant had en-
abled her to place her two younger
brothers at college.
81 wish her to return here to take
up her rightful position in the world"
said Moore.
What do you mean?" inquired the
Judge wonderingly.
Just this: through the easy lease
given US at the start by the North
estate, from the nucleus of the old
business here success and a fortune
have come. 1 am grateful man. /
propose making over to Miss North
a half interest in the business now
own. At my own expense / wish the
old North Mansion restored"
Strange manp' murmured the
lawyer in almost awed tone.
Further, T wish the name of John
North restored upon the front of all
the buildings. He built this business
originally. He shall have all the
credit"
So it was done, and so from OBJ
security Eunice North and her broth
ers came back to the old-time affu-
ence and comfort.
Paul Moore evaded seeing the
young girl whom he had so benefited.
One evening, however, she sent for
him. A beautiful face confronted
him, but pale and troubled.
"Mr. Moore" she said, 81 have
sought to meet you to thank you.
And now in the light of new discoV-
cry 1 must have your confidence
fear, more, your forgiveness.
What do you mean?" inquired
Moore in a low tone.

..Seventy-one days ago a Dutch
man named van Heerden was given
q license to prospect for diamonds az
Killarney. He probably grumbled at
his loneliness. Today there are
countless hundreds scrampllhs AN
snarling over the $4,000 claims when

Consider your daily work of life as . houso which you are inhabiting tem- porariy. It Is well to have it in order and keep it mus. so that if you are called away suddenly. the neighbors shall not enter and comment on dusty walls or unkempt furniture or shabby fittings.
 There Is difference. of course, for when you depart this life you do not expect to return, at least so far as your bodily tenement Is concerned. But in other respects the analogy holds good There was curious case of man leaving his life voluntarily the other day. He was a suicide, and as such to be abhorred, of course, for suicide is a coward who seeks to avoid the burdens of life by departing therefrom before his natural course is run.

 This man had curious notion of honor left. He was a cobbler and had been tortured for years by the pains of rheu- matism. lie was middle aged man, and when one day the pains became unendui able he determined to end them by cutting his throat with his workman's knife.
 But there was work for that knife to do before IL was 10 be turned to the hUffln deed of self-destruction. Customers had intrusted their shoes to this cobbler to be mended. and he would not prove recreant to their trust, however much he failed in his duty to his Creator.
 So before putting an end to his life. he finished neatly all the work that was before hin. On the bench beside his dead body was found a pair of shoes belonging to a little girl. They were neatly repaired and apparently the cob- bier had stayed up late to finish them," said one newspaper account "All the work he had on hand was done and set out with the names of the customers marked on the shoes"

Then they were invited to spend year at tue home of a MT. Featherston, clergyman. and a relative of the unfortunate lady. At the termination of this visit, there came again life in the barracks; then another move. and yet another, and so they live ed, or dragged through life. From Lon- donderry they were ordered to Gibraltar, where my father" says Sterne, was run through the body by captain Phillips, in duel-the quarrel being about a goose. With much difficulty my father survived, but with an impared consti- tuition. which was not able to withstand the hardships it was put to; for he was ordered to Jamaica, where he soon fell by the country fever which took away his senses first. and made a child Of him.

 At the time of the fathers death Laurence was at school at Halifax. While there he had had his room newly whitewashed. and the ladder being still in place he climbed it and wrote on the ceiling 'I.au.
