Usually at nine O'Clock they strolleo
into the study and smoked one OF
Brood's cigars with the gusto Of real
guests. 1t was their habit to saunter
about the room, inspecting the treas
ures with critical, appraising eyes,
very much as If they had never seen
them before. They even handled some
of the familiar objects with an air OF
bewilderment that would have done
credit to a Cooks tourist. 1t was also
habit Of theirs to try the doors OF
large teakwood cabinet in one cor
ner of the room. The doors always
we're locked, and they sighed with
patient doggedaess. Some day, how
ever, Ranjab would forget to lock
those doors, and then
"Joe," Mr.. Dawes, after he had tried
the doors on this particular occasion,

poor Jim get married again. I'll never
forgive myself" He had said this at
least hundred times during the past
three months. Sometimes he cried
over it, but never until he had found
that the cabinet doors were locked.

mused the other, paying no attention
to the egotism. He would have

at his unlighted cigar. ITS caution

however, and would have passed unno-
ticed but for the fact that Frederic
was, as usual, watching her face with
rapt interest. He caught the curious
transition and involuntarily glanced
below
The heavy curtains in the window
of his fathers retreat were drawn
apart and the dark face of Ranjab the
Hindu was plainly distinguishable. He
was looking up at the window in which
Mrs. Brood was sitting. Although
Frederic was far above, he could see
the cleaning white of the mans eyes.
The curtains fell quickly together and
the gaunt brown face was gone.
Questions raced through Frederic's
puzzled brain. Out of them grew a
queer, almost uncanny feeling that the

Professor Mahaffy. In the course of
the address he said that the Celts
were not the first race to inhabit
Ireland, for there were the Firbolgs,
traces Of whose civilization were to
be found in the stone monuments
and raths in parts of the country.
Even the Firbolgs do not appear to
have been the only people who In
habited Ireland before the Celts. Pro.
:essor Mahaffy believes there were
many different peoples. But what Of
their language? Why is there no
trace OF the languages OF these races?

tor of the Oregon Methodist Episcopal
church In ls9l.92, gave a lecture at
the church. Tuesday night, May 18th,
on the subj, c. 1.-The Possibilities OF
Childhood Blighted."
The subject matter Of the lecture
gave evidence OF q wide range OF study
on this. one Of the most Important
topics OF the day, and q thorough un.
Outstanding Of child nature and needs
at the different stages from birth ia
manhood and womanhood, The lee
turer portrayed the God given posi-
bilities Of the child, indicating that
the splendid attachments OF the few
are possible to the masses, except as
these possibilities are blighted, and

The language was well chosen,
chaste comprehensive. and yet SC
simple that any child could under
stand 1t all.
