titicate has been obtained from the
director to the effect that the injured

IN MEMORY Or JACK WOOD.

Goodbye dear Jack, we miss you SO,
As on your way to school you'd 20,
You bore your suffering like man
Til God called you to JOIN his,band.
We miss your bright and sunny smile
For you were with us all the while,
You were the sunshine Of our seAuoi
Showing that you lived BY the Golden
Rule
Each day dear Jack, we think of you
From early morn, til fall Of dew,
We hope to meet you on the Golden
Stair
For this we ask in every prayer.
On Friday we cleaned the school yard
You did your part; working hard
Ere the next days sun arose
You were resting ia sweet repose.
The world has lost a precious one
He's dwelling with Gods only Son
Your spirit shall be our guide
To help US reach the other side.
Cheer up dear loved ones do not weep,
For with the angels / rlvm 5iiucp
There's no need for your sorrow
For you may meet me on the morrow.
Angels whisper that our darling
Is in lands Of love SO fair;
That his dear feet are waiting
Close beside the golden stair.
A FRIEND.

N. Duchaine has been n recluse for
many years" he said, "and of late his
mind has become affected. 1t is said
that he was implicated in the troubles
of 1867, and that, fearing arrest. he
fed here and built this chateau in this
desolate region, where he would be
safe from pursuit. Solitude has made
a hermit of him and taken him out of
touch with the world of today.

cred coal on his property, and by
threatening him with arrest has

chateau.
My duties took me to Quebec.
There I learned that Nine. d'Epernay
had fed on the night of her marriage,

was living at the Chateau Frontenac

band but TO do my duty.

at once my ears were filed with yells

women's voices.
AS my eyes became accustomed to
