1 row early and perfected my plans
for the day as I breakfasted. A storm

wind beating the lake into tiny white
! caps, ft was not yet eight o'clock
I when 1 left the house for my Journey
i in search of Henry Holbrook. The
■ envelope containing the forged notes
; was safely locked in the vault -In
which the Glenarm silver was stored.
; .Vs I stepped down into the park I
! caught sight of Miss Pat walking in
] 'he garden beyond the wall, and as 1
' lifted my cap she came toward the
. :ron gate. She was rarely abroad so
-arly and 1 imagined that she had been
waiting for me
“You are abroad early, my lord.”
she said, with the delicious quaint
mockery with which she sometimes
flattered me. And she repeated the
lines:
Hast -heu wen ghosts? Hast thou at mid
right heard
la the mind's talking an artb-uiate word?
Or art thou in the secret of the sea.
And hare the twilight confessed
to thee?
“No such pleasant things have hap
pened to me. Miss Holbrook."
“This is my birthday. I have
crowned myself; observe the cap!"
“We most celebrate! I crave the
privilege of dining yon to-night."
“Ton were starting for somewhere
with an sir of determination. Don’t
let me Interfere with your plans."
*1 was going to the boathouse," I
. Larry!*
answered, truthfully.
"Let me come along. I am turned
65. and I think I am entitled to do as
1 please; don't you?"
'1 do. indeed. but thai is no reason.
You are no more 65 than I am. The
rap. if you will pardon me. only pro
claims your immunity from the blasts
of Time.”
"1 wish 1 had known yon at 20.” she
said, brightly. as we went on together.
"My subjection could not have been
more complete."
“Do you make speeches like ;hai to
Helen ?"
"If i do it is with less inspiration!”
‘ You must stop chaffing me. I am !
not 65 for nothing and 1 don't think
you are naturally disrespectful.”
When we reached the boathouse she
took a chair on the little veranda and
smiled as though something greatly
amused her.
“Mr. Donovan—I am 65. as 1 have
said before—may 1 call you—"
''Larry' anti gladden me forever!"
"Then. Larry, what a lot of frauds
we all are!”
"I suppose we are." I admitted, i
doubtfully, not sure where the joke I
lay.
"You have been trying v» be very
kind to me. haven't you?”
”1 have accomplished nothing."
“You have tried to make my way
easy here: and you have had no end
of trouble. 1 am not as dull as I look.
Larry."
"If 1 have deceived you !t has been j
with an honest purpose."
"I don't question that. Pm Helen j
has been giving you a grc-t deal of;
trouble, hasn't she? You don’t quite j
make her out; isn't that tru^?"
“1 understand her perfectly.” I
averred, recklessly.
“You are a daring young man. Lar
ry. to make that statement of any
woman. Helen has no; always dealt
honestly with you—or me!"
“She is the noblest girl in the
world; she is splendid beyond any
words of mine. I don’t understand
what you mean. Miss Holbrook."
“Larry, you dear boy, I am no more
blind or deaf than I am dumb! Helen
has been seeing her father and Reg
inald Gillespie. She has run off at!
night, thinking I wouldn't know it.
She is an extremely clever young
woman, but when she has made a feint
of retiring early, only to creep out and
drop down from the lining room bal
cony and dodge your guards, 1 have
known it. She was away last night
and came creeping in like a thief. It
has amused me. Larry; it has fur
nished mo real diversion. The only
thing that puzzles me is that I don't
quite see where you stand.”
"I haven't always been sure myself,
to be frank about it!”
“Why not tell me just how it is:
Whether Helen has been amusing her
self with yon. or you with Helen.”
'Oh!'' i laughed. “When you came
here you told me she was the finest
girl in the world, and I accepted your
word for it. I have every confidence
in your judgment, and you have know n
your uiece for a long time.”
”1 have, indeed.”
“And I'm sure you wouldn't have de
ceived me!”
“But I did! I wanted to interest
you in her. Something in your eye
told me that you might do great things
for her.”
“Thank you!”
“But instead of that you have played ■
into her hands. Why did you let her
steal out at night to meet her father,
when you knew that could only do her 1
and me a grave injury? And you have
aided her in seeing Gillespie, when I
particularly warned you that he was
most repugnant to me.”
I laughed in spite of myself as I re
membered the night's adventure; and
Miss Pat stopped short in the path and
fare-l me with the least glint of anger
in her eyes.
”! really didn't think ycu capable of !
it! She will marry him for his
money!”
"Take my word for it, she will do
nothing of the kind."
“You are under her spell, and you
don't know her! I think—sometimes ,
—I think the girl has no soul!” she
said at last.
The dear voice faltered, and the
tears flashed into Miss Pat's eyes as
she confronted me in the woodland
path.
“Oh. no! It's not so bad as that!” I
pleaded.
“I tell you she has no soul! You
will find it out to your cost. She is
made for nothing but mischief in this
world!"
I am your humble servant. Miss
Holbrook.”
“Then," she began, doubtfully, and
meeting my eyes with careful scrutiny,
“I am going to ask you to do one thing
more for me, that we may settle all
this disagreeable affair. I am going to
pay Henry his money; but before I do
so I must find my brother Arthur, if
he is still alive. That may have some
difficulties.”
She looked at me as though for ap
proval; then went on:
“I have been thinking of ail these
Her gaze lay across the twinkling
lake, and her voice was tremulous.
She spoke softly as though to herself. '
and I caught phrases of the paragraph
of her father's will that Gillespie had
read to me: “Dishonor as it is known, j
accounted and reckoned among men:" i
—and she bowed her head and on the
veranda rail a moment; then she rose j
suddenly and smiled bravely through
her tears.
“Why can't you find Arthur for rue?
Ah. if you could only find him there
might be peace between us all; for I
am very old. Larry. Age without
peace is like life without hope. 1
cannot believe that Arthur is dead. 1
must see him again. Larry, if be is ,
alive find him and tell him to come
t-> me.”
“Yes." I said: “1 know where be is!”
She started in amazement and. com
ing close, her hands closed upon my
a-in eagerly.
“It can't be possible! You know
where he is and you wi'.l bring him
U* me?”
She was pitifully eager and the tears
were bright in her eyes.
“Be assured of it. Miss Holbrook. He .
is near by and well; but you must not
Double about him or about anything.
A .id now- 1 am going to take you home.
Cime! There is much to do. and I
m ist be off. But you will keep a good
heart; you are near the end of your
difficulties.”
She was quite herself again when
w»- reach St. Agatha's, but at the door
she detained me a moment.
“1 like you. Larry!” she said, taking !
my hand: and my own mother had not .
given me sweeter benediction. “I
never intended that Helen should play
with you. She may serve me as she
likes, bat l don't want her to singe
your wings. Larry.”

Habits and Birain Records
A Noble Personality the Result of
Noble Desires Inscribed in Brain.
Remember that the brain ts the in
strument through which the real per
sonality expresses himself; mid he
can-only express what is air*ad,- writ
ten there, says a writer In the Nauti
lus. Consequently, the external man
will be just what is inscribed upon his
brain, for all his actions must be dic
tated or directed through these brain
records. You cannot saw wood with
a hammer; nor can the soul plar a
piano with the fingers until the knowl
edge of piano playing is written in the
music place of the brain. You cannot
show forth a high and noble person
ality until you hs.ve written within
your skull a record of noble and holy
desires; according to the tools you
give tt, so will the expression of your
sou) be.
You can wind up a phonograph,
and you may make it run fast or
slow, but you cannot make it say any
thing that Is not on the records. If
r~--— ■ ■ ~ — ■ " 1 ■1 —
some one had put his opinion of you
on a record, even though you knew
that opinion to be untrue, you couid
not make the record tell the truth; the
o.:Iy thing possible would be to make
another. You have written your opin
ion of yourself upon your brain; you
cannot be anything else until you
change the record.
A Point to Look To.
When a man swears himself Into
matrimony, he is allowed to submit
any sort of testimony, and none of it
is seriously impugned.
But when he swears himself out,
he is narrowly limited to the beggarly
facts, and moreover must endure the
merciless hammering of crafty law
yers bent on discrediting him.

BRUIN, WITH BULLET IN HEART.
GIVES SCOTCHMAN TERRiBLE
FIGHT.
VICTIM HAS A CLOSE CALL
In Clutch of Brute When Bear Falls
Dead—Survives After Being Ter
ribly Wounded and Suffers
Long Time.
Victoria, P. C.—Of the n any battles
' that have been waged between man
and the grizzly none was ever more
exciting or came closer '.o death for
the man than that fought recently by
James M. Christie, who has come to
Victoria a few days ago for surgical as
‘ sistance.
Christie and the bear locked in
* close conflict for but a few seconds.
Then the brute dropped dead and
Christie was hurled i-.rto the bushes,
crushed, maimed and .-flood drenched,
i while the snow for yards around was
crimson with the blo-.d of the com
j batants.
Christie had tracked the bear sev
, era! miles to punish him for robbing
a cache of moose m«y»L He had just
fired a shot at a wdf from his rifle
) and found that the sights needed ad
justment. Luckily he fixed them at
once, for within five minutes he heard
the crackle of the brushwood and saw
the beast that walks like a man. That
■ bears will never attack man is very
' well in theory; grizzlies are excep
tions. This bear came for Christie
on the run and the hunter had barely
time to swing his rifie and pull trig
i ger with a snap aim for the heart,
j the brute being less than thirty yards
away. The first shot caught the |
grizzly through the heart and lungs,
but failed to stop him; a second hit
the animal in the head. Christie shed I
his snowshoes and tried to dodge into j
j the bushes.
Then came t?.e bear's innings. The ■
brush was too thick for the man. but !
the bear tramped it down like reeds j
and pushed forward, roaring and
grunting in characteristic grizzly j
fashion. As Christie fell In an at- ]
tempt to dodge, the bear clapped his i
immense paw on the nan's head and
began tearing at liis face and body.
The bear gave a vicious snap and 1
Christie felt the teeth about his neck.
In desperation the man threw up bis
right arm and fate directed that he i
should thrust it into the open jaws of j
the bear. Then Christie forced hack !
with ail his ebbing strength. His ef- j
fort was coincident with the coming j
of death to the bear. Its jaws re
laxed and Christie half fell, hail' \
crawled away.
His two cheeks were .era from the
ears to the mouth, he had a double
fracture of the skull, his cheek bones
were broken and his jaw fell against
his breast. His scalp was cut through

body counted as minor Incidents.
The blood'poured from Christie’s
wounds in streams. He swathed him
self in a sack and lamely made his
way home without his snowshoes, fol
lowing the ice on the river, as he
could not see. There were eight
inches of snow on the ground. The
journey was seven miles and with

but Crisfleld was out on a line of
traps and did not return for hours,
and the desperately wounded man bad
to build a fire and attend to his own
injuries as best be could. Ou Cris
! field's return every crude means was
taken to make Christie comfortable,
but they had neither medicine nor
antiseptics.
After giving the victim such rest as
could be afforded Crisfleld packed him
on a rough toboggan and hired two In
dians to haul the patient to J. E. Fer

50 miles from Dawson. They took a
tent and camped at nights. It was a
racking trip for the injured man.

RESCUED FROM DEATH
ON A RAFT OF ICE
NEW YORK MAN FLOATING OUT
TO SEA WHEN FEEBLE CRIES
ATTRACT ATTENTION.
New York.—Feeble cries for help
that seeuied to come from far out cn
the Fast river were heard early ore
morning recently by employes of the
municipal ferry at the battery from a
partially frozen man lying helpless a
considerable distance off shore on a
large ice floe oil which he had floated
for several hours.
For ten minutes the men were un
able to see the man, who, they be
lieved, was swimming toward the
shore. They called out. but In response
again heard only his faint cries for
i help. At that instant the tide carried
| a number of ice floes across tl.e moon
lit part of the waters, and the men's
form was discovered.

Wood Seasoned By Electricity,
Tn France a method of seasoning
wood through the agency of electricity
is credited with much success. It is
called the Xodon-Rrottonnean process.
The timber is nearly immersed in a
tank of water containing ten per cent,
of borax, five of resin and a little car
bonate of soda, and rests on a lead
plate connected with the positive polo
of a dynamo. Another similar plate,
lying on the exposed surface of tho
timber, is connected with the negative
pole. Thus a current of electricity
can be passed through the wood, from
which all the sap appears to be re
moved. while the borax and resin take
its place In the pores In a few hours
the timber is taken out and dried and
the seasoning is said to be complete.

sum total of happiness would be less.

few who have been permitted, by trial,
to discover what a poor thing luxury
Is. while the rest of us. having nobody
to envy, would bo miserable.—Puck.
