l did not recognize the voice speak
ing-a husky voice, the words indis-
tinct, yet withal forcefuI-nor do
know what it was he said. But when
the other answered, tapping on the
desk with some instrument, knew the
second speaker to be La Barre, and
leaned back just far enough to gain
glimpse through the opening in the
drapery. He sat at the desk, his back
toward us, while his companion, red
faced, heavily moustached man, in uni
form Of the Rifles, stood opposite, one
arm on the mantel over the fireplace.
His expression was that of amused
interest.
"You saw the lady?" he asked.
'In the receiving line for moment
only; fair enough maid to be loved
for her own sake, should say. Faith,
never have l seen handsomer eyes,"
The other laughed.
"'Tis well madame does not over
hear that confession. An heiress, and
beautiful! Piff! but she might find
others to her liking rather than this
Cassion."
1T is small chance she has had to
make choice, and as to her being an
heiress, where heard you such a ru-
NOR, Colonel Delguard?"
The officer Strengthened up.
"You forget, SIR" he said slowly,
''that the papers passed through my
hands after Captain la Chesnayne's
death. 1t was at your request they

desk, his brows contracted into

The colonel stood erect and advanced

If this be so why does Francois Cas-

TAKING RIGHT VIEW OF WORK
ing Despondent and Thinking of
Himself as a Slave.

In commenting on a recent Once
Over, concerning the blessing it should
be to be able to work and to have
work to do, man writes as follows:
THE principle is good. Work is a
blessing to humanity, if the toiler
would but reap the fruits of his toll.
But, in this era of maladjusted econ
omic conditions, the workers life, with
its slave status, leaves much to be
desired. Am l right?'
From one viewpoint, yes; from an
other, no.
The working conditions of laborers
might be more ideal, tits true, but you
cannot expect too great an improve.
ment within short time.
Are they not improving each year?
Are not working hours becoming
shorter and pay larger for those who
make the necessary effort to perfect
themselves along their certain line?
II man is unwilling to give the
time, study and effort to make himself
more valuable to his employer, should
he hope to have his wages advanced?
The workaday world is far removed
from slavery.
When a man begins to think of him.
self as slave he is bringing about a
condition within himself which has a
tendency to place his efforts on the
plane of those of a slave.

A Silent Salesman.

Many manufacturers of machinery
that is too heavy or too bulky to be
sent for inspection to prospective
customer now give their travelling
statesmen sets of motion pictures that
show exactly how the machines work,
According to the Engineering Maya
zine, the statesmen carry small, light
motion-picture projectors that can be
connected with the lighting circuit in
the office of the customer. A blank
wall serves for screen. Since the
motion picture is independent of the
seasons, the statesmen can show a har-
vester at work in winter or seeder
or planter in the fall. The films also
help to overcome the instructive oppO-
sition that many buyers of machinery
and equipment display toward new APP
paratus and new methods. Such men
will not listen to the salesman or go
to see the new machine in operation,
but they will look at the motion pic
tures.-Youth's Companion.

MarmaIade in Demand.

A Scotch regiment, composed Of
men from Dundee, is said to have TAX
en- for it's battle cry the thrilling
words, "Marmalade forever" It
sounds rather like music hall joke,
but it may be true. Soldier humor
loves the grotesQue, and If Mr. Keller,
whose name is famous because of it's
association with Dundee marmalade,
has contributed large quantities of
this delectable substitute for butter
to the regiment from it's native town,
gratitude may form another reason
for the adoption of the slogan. In
this country the idea has obtained
that marmalade is an effeminate sort
of preserve; but in Scotland and Eng
land it is the favorite sweet of the
male, the one sweet tolerated at
breakfast.
