H He knew that at that hour Marjorie
B -would bo from 'home , wandering in the
B \ : fields , perhaps , with her little boy , or
H visiting some of her old village friends.
B -Feeling strong in this hope , he hurried
Br , -on toward the Castle.
H - He found Miss Hethcrington alone.
H i j She was glad to see him , but rated him

H "It is not for me to control ye if ye

H .gait , but it's scarcely fair to Marjorie.
B She's lonesome , poor lassie , and she
H takes : t ill that ye come so seldom. "
H "Miss Hethcrington , " returned Sutherland -

H wished , but because I took too much
H pleasure in coming. I love Marjorie.
B I've loved her ever since I was a lad ,
Hfl j and I shall love her till I die. I

H a husband ; but it's for you to say now
B whether I may come in or not. "
H "For me ? What do you mean , John-
H nie Sutherland ? "
H ' For answer he put both the letter
B . i and paper in her hand , and bade her
H read. She did read ; eagerly at first ,
B 1)UL as she proceeded her hand trem-
B | llcd , the tears streamed from her eyes
H iml the paper fell from her grasp.
B i "God forgive me ! " she cried ; "it's

H 'that you love her ? Weel. I'm glad.
H You're a good lad. Comfort her if you
H -can. and may God bless ye both. "
H That very night Marjorie learned the
' -news from Miss Hetlierington. The old
lady told it with a ring of joy in her
!
voice , but Marjorie listened with a
I fi shudder. After all , the man was her
H I husband. Despite his cruelty , she had
H i once almost loved him : and , though she
B ' could not mourn him as a widow
JB should , she tried to respect the dead.
B But it was only for a while ; then the
fl f 7 cloud lifted , and she almost thanked

Bw Sutherland now became a constant

B V j seemed to him and to Marjorie also
1 P ( hat their early days had returned ; the
B fs ! same , yet not the same , for the old
H g I Castle looked bright and genial now ,
H 1 j and it was , moreover , presided over by
V K a bright , genial mistress.
H m ; > Things could not last thus forever.
H m Marjorie knew it ; and one evening she

H B j -She had been out during the afternoon
_ | j -with her little boy , and as they were

"were joined by Sutherland. For a time

little Leon clinging on to Sutherland's

H % r | .on l0 piueic some flowers , and left the
B two together.
H • ,1 , "How he loves you ! " said Marjorie ,
H f noting the child's backward glance ; "I
H / don't think he will ever forget the ride
H . I you , ave him on the roundabouts at

B' I | jj SIrv paused , but he. said nothing ;
B f { [ presently she raised her eyes , and she

B The word was spoken , either for good

FTE-R the confes
sion of her love for
Sutherland , and the
promise his love
had wrung from
her trembling lips ,
Marjorie was not a
little troubled.
Again and again
she leproachcd
herself for want of
fidelity to Caussi-
I H Is .dicre's memory , for she was tender-
B M J .hearted , and could not readily forget
B M what the man had once been to her.

implanted in the heart of a loving wo
man , and now that Caussidierc had
gone to his last account , a deep and
sacred pity took possession of his vic
tim's heart.
Sutherland saw the signs of change
with some anxiety , but had sufficient
wisdom to wait until time should com
plete its work and efface the French
man's memory from Marjorie's mind.
When they met he spoke little to her
of love , or of the tender hope which
bound them together ; his talk was
rather of the old childish days , when
'
they were all in all to one . mother ;
of old friends and old recollections ,
such as sweeten life. He was very
gentle and respectful to her ; only show
ing in his eyes the constancy of his
tender devotion , never harshly ex
pressing it in passionate words.
But if Sutherland was patient and
self-contained , it was far different with
the impulsive lady of the Castle. No
sooner was she made aware of the true
state of affairs than she was anxious
that the marriage should take place
at once.
"I'm an old woman now , Marjorie , "
she cried , "and the days of my life are
numbered. Before I gang awa' let me
see you a happy bride let me be sure
you have a friend and protector while
I'm asleep among the mools. "
She was sitting in her boudoir in
her great arm-chair , looking haggard
and old indeed. The fire in her black
eyes had faded away , giving place to a
dreamy and wistful pity ; but now and
again , as on the present occasion , it
flashed up like the gleam upon the
blackening brand.
Marjorie , who was seated sewing by
her mother's side , sadly shook hot
head.
"I cannot think of it yet. " she re
plied , "I feel it would be sacrilege. "
"Sacrilege , say you ? " returned Miss
Hetlierington. "The sacrilege was wi'
yon Frenchman , when he beguiled you
awa' , and poisoned your young life ,
my bairn. You owed him no duty liv
ing , and you owe him none dead. He
was an ill limmer , and thank God he's
In his grave ! "
"Ah , do not speak ill of him now.
Jf he has sinned he has been punished.
To die so young. "
And Marjorie's gentle eyes filled with
tears.
"If he wasna ripe , do you think he
would be gathered ? " exclaimed Miss
Hetlierington , with something of her
old fierceness of manner. "My certie ,
he was ripe and rotten ; Lord forgive
me for miscalling the dead ! But , Mar
jorie , my bairn , you're o'er tender
hearted. Forget the past ! Forget ev
erything but the happy future that lies
before you ! Think you're just a young
lass marrying for the first time , and
marrying as good a lad as ever wore
sheen north o' the Tweed. "
Marjorie rose from her seat , and
walking to the window , looked dream
ily down at the Castle garden , still
tangled as a maze and overgrown with
weeds. As she did so , she heard a
child's voice , calling in French :
"Maman ! Maman ! "
It was little Leon , playing in the old
garden , attended by a Scottish serving
maid , who had been taken on as nurse.
He saw Marjorie looking down , and
looking up with a face bright as sun
shine , waved his hands to her in de
light.
"How can I think as you say , " she
said , glancing round at her mother ,
"when I have my boy to remind me
that I am a widow ? After all , he's my
husband's child a gift that makes
amends for all my sorrow. "
As she spoke she kissed her hand
fondly lo the child , and looked down at
him through streaming tears of love.
"Weel , weel , " said the old lady ,
soothingly ; "I'm no saying but that it's
weel to forget and forgi'c. Only your
life must not be wasted. Marjorie ! I
must see you settled down before I
gang. "
"You will not leave me , dear moth
er ! " answered Marjorie , returning to
her side and bending over her. "No ,
no ; you are well and strong. "
"What's that the auld sang says ? "
returned Miss Hetlierington , smooth
ing the girl's hair with her wrinkled
hand , as she repeated thoughtfully :
'I hear a voice you cannot hear ,
That says I must not stay :
I see a hand you cannot see ,
That beckons me away. '
That's it Marjorie ! I'm an old woman
now old before my time. God has
been kind to me , far kinder than I de
serve ; but the grass will soon be green
on my grave in the kirkyard. Let me
sleep in peace ! Marry Johnnie Suth
erland wi' my blessing , and I shall ken
you will never want a friend. "
Such tender reasoning had its weght
with Marjorie. but it failed to conquer
her scruples altogether. She still re
mained in the shadow of her former
sorrow , fearful and ashamed to pass ,
as she could have done at one step ,
into the full sunshine of the newer and
brighter life.
So the days passed on , till at last
there occurred an event so strange , so
unexpected , and spirit compelling' that
it threateied for a time to drive cur he
roine into madness and despair.
One summer afternoon Marjorie , ac
companied by little' Leon , met Suther
land in the village , and walked with
the old man in tie carden , looking un
usually bright and hale ; but hi3 talk
was still confused ; ho mingled the
present with the past , and continued
to speak of Marjorie , and to addrccn
her , as if she were still a child.
The sun was setting when they left
him , turning their steps toward An-
nandalc Castle. They lingered slowly
along the road , talking of indifferent
things , and sweetly happy in each
other's society , till it wa3 growing
dark.
Then Marjorie held out her hand.
"Let mo go with you to the Castle
gate , " said Sutherland eagerly.
"Not to-night , " answered Marjorie.
"Pray , let me walk alone , with only lit
tle Leon. "
Very unwillingly he acquiesced , and
suffered her to depart. He watched her
sadly till her figure disappeared in the
darkness , moving toward the lonely
bridge across the Annan.
Having wished Sutherland good
night , Marjorie took the child by the
hand and walked back across the mead
ows toward the Castle. It was a peace
ful gloaming ; the stars were shining'
brightly , the air was balmy ; so she
sauntered along , thinking dreamily fof
the past.
She walked up by the bridge , and
looked down at Annan Water , flowing
peacefully onward.
As she looked she mused. Her lifo
had begun with trouble , but surely all
that was over now. Her days in Paris
seemed to be fading rapidly into the
dimness of the past ; there was a broken
link in her chain of experience , that
was all. Yes , she would forget it , and
remember only the days which she had
passed at Annandale.
And yet how could she do so ? There
was the child , little Leon , who looked
at her with her father's eyes , and spoke
his childish prattle in tones so like
those of the dead man , that they some
times made her shudder. She lifted the
boy in her arms.
"Leon , " she said , "do you remember
Paris , my cbild do you remember
your father ? "
The child looked at her , and half
shrunk back in fear. How changed she
had become ! Her cheeks were burning
feverishly , .or eyes sparkling.
"Mamma , " said the boy , half draw
ing from her , "what is the matter ? "
"Nothing , darling , " she said.
She pressed him fondly to her , and
set him again upon the ground. They
walked on a few steps farther , when
she paused again , sat down upon the
grass , and took the boy upon her
knee.
"Leon. " she said , patting his cheek
and soothing back his hair. "You love
Annandale , do j-ou not ? "
"Yes , mamma , and grandmamma ,
and Mr. Sutherland. "
"And and you would be able to for
get the dreadful time we spent in
Paris ? "
"And papa ? "
"My darling , your father is dead. "
She pressed the child to her again ;
raised lir.r eyes and looked straight in
to the fi .ce of her husband.
Causjvfliere !
It wa , v > indeed he , or his spirit , stand
ing theib in the starlight , with his pale
face turned toward her , his eyes look
ing straight into hers. For a moment
they looked upon one another he made
a movement toward her , when , with a
wild cry , Marjorie clasped her child
still closer to her , and sank back
swooning upon the ground.
WThen she recovered her senses she
was still lying where she had fallen ;
the child was kneeling beside her , cry
ing bitterly , and Caussidiere , the man ,
and not his spirit , was bending above
her. When she opened her eyes , he
smiled , and took her hand.
"It is I. little one , " he said. "Do not
be afraid. "
With a shudder she withdrew her
hand , and rose to her feet and facsd
him.

In Limousin there is a barren range
of low hills which lies along the divid

Dordogne , Correze and Haute-Vienne.

Limoges , says Popular Science JSouth-
ly. The water courses show the loca
tion of these uplands. The ; - extend
over an area about seventy-five miles
long and half as wide , wherein average
human misery is most profound. Dense
ignorance prevails. There is more il
literacy than in any other part of
France. The contrast in stature.even
with the low average of all the sur
rounding region , is clearly marked by
the dark tint. There are sporadic bits
of equal diminutiveuess elsewhere to
the south and west , but none are so
extended or so extreme. Two-thirds
of the men are below five feet three
inches in height , in some of the com
munes , and tiie woi n are three or
more inches shorter even tiian this.
One man in ten is below four fett
eleven inches in stature. This i& not
duo to race , for several racial types
are equally stunted in this way within
the same area. It is primarily due to
generations of subjection to a harsh
climate , to a soil which is worthless
for agriculture , to a steady diet of
boiled chestnuts and stagnant water ,
and to unsanitary dwellings in the
deep , narrow and damp valleys. Still
further proof may be found to show
that these people are not stunted by
any hereditary influence , for it has
hcen shown that children bor here ,
but who migrate and grow up else
where , are normal in height ; while
those born elsewhere , but who are sub
ject to this environment during the
growing period of youth , are propor-

I Spain's New War Ships | |
| § v rushing Work on Three Armored Cruisers of a g |
| Es Type Superior to the Vizcaya' . )3 ) |
The Spanish government Is doing all
within its power to augment the
strength of her navy , and with that end
in view , orders have been given to push
forward the three new armored crui
sers , the Cardinal Clsneros , Princesa
de Austurias and Cataluna , which this
country is building , and which are de
scribed in the following articles , taken
from that excellent weekly naval il
lustrated paper , El Mundo Naval , writ
ten by Lieutenant of the Navy Marie
Rubio Munez :
"The navy is anxiously awaiting the
happy completion of the three armored
cruisers which are being built in the
arsenals of Ferrol , Carraca and Car.ta-
gena. The general description given
in brief in a previous number , when
we described to our readers the cruis
ers Infanta Maria Teresa , Vizcaya and
Oquendo , are repeated in reference to
their sister ships in all that relates to
the generic type ; but there will be a
large number of new details which
augment their lighting value in the
Cardinal Cisneros , Princesa dc Astur-
ias and Cataluna.
Artnumriit lo Uc Heavier.
"Apart from the small variations of
external appearance , the differences to
which we allude are for the main part
introduced in the armament of the new
cruisers , which is to be heavier and at
the same time more complete.
"The characteristics of these cruisers
are the following : Length , 100 metres ;
breadth ; 18m. 8cm. ; draught , Gm. Gem. ;
displacement , 7.000 tons ; engines , 15 , -
000 horse power , and speed 20 knots.
Armor : Belt , 31cm. ; deck , 5cm. ; gun po
sition , 27cm. , and conning tower , 31cm.
Armament : Hontoria system , 24cm. , 2 ;
14cm. quick firing , 10 ; small calibre ,
20 ; torpedo tubes , 8.
"If our readers will take the pains
lo compare these official figures with
those of the Infanta Maria Teresa , Viz
caya and Oquendo they will find in the
newly built cruisers an increase of
1,200 horse power in the engines/which
v gssvr w s \
of course will give a large increase of
speed. In addition to this there is the
finer model which will add still fur
ther speed. The armored belt which de
fends the vital parts of the Cardinal
Cisneros is larger and the quality of
the plates has improved , and we main
tain hopes that the sister ship in Bil
bao will have even stronger resistive
power. The defensive power of the
whole has also increased not a little ,
for they have the exceptional advan
tage of the installation of a battery of
14cm. quick firing guns.
Compared with Our Ships.
"It seems , in our opinion , well to
form comparative data with other na
vies as the best means of appreciating
the relative value of the national forces
and with that object in view we present
to our readers for reference and anal
ogy the three most powerful armored
cruisers flying the United States flag ,
which serve to-day as the sword of Da
mocles to our Spanish pessimists.
"The four fundamental properties of
this class of ship , power defensive and
offensive speed and radius of action ,
can be easily appreciated by the data

Deduction From Figures.
"Direct deduction from the preceding
figures enables us without any strain
ing of our conscience to call our three
national cruisers superiores in absolute -
to over their foreign antagonists , but.
nevertheless , the eloquence of those I
figures should be sufficient to inspire in
the pessimists and incredulous the ne
cessary pea'ce cf mind , to close the
mouths of those who are constantly
stating that the Spanish forces are de
fective and these who so freely criti
cise the naval profession in our coun
try , i
"Recent experiences of such importance - !
ance as that of the battle of the Yalu , i
in the Chino-Japanese war. have demonstrated - j
onstrated the supremacy of quick fir
ing ordnance , and the former custom
of trusting to guns of immense cali
bre has gone out of date , while to-dav
the great aim of constructors is mid
dle sized guns well protected. With
. ,
that idea in mind the new cruisers
have been equipped , for the rapid firing
guns are perfectly protected by armor ,
and with special provision for a separ
ate supply of shell.
Iletter Than Old Type.
"These points will mark the suprem
acy of the Cardinal Cisneros , Princesa
de Asturias and Cataluna over the In
fanta Maria Theresa type. The rapid
evolution which has taken place in na
val construction of modern times , age
in a short time the most admired and
renowned ships ; the sphere of action
of the critic expands and extends log
ically under such circumstances , and
daring are the arguments of those who
seek to show that efficiency is want-
ins. "
HERO OF MAINE DISASTER.
Brave "Bill" Anthony , marine order
ly of the ill-fated battleship Maine , has
a record to be proud of. Amidst the
shrieks of wounded sailors and the rush
of flames , with the great steel ship
settling to its grave and the dead lying
thick upon its shattered decks , brave
Anthony made his report to Captain
Sigsbee.
That report the essence of courage
and discipline should live in Ameri
can history.
"Sir , " said the gallant orderly , stand
ing at salute. "I have to inform you
that the ship has been blown up and is
sinking. "
"BiH" Anthony has carried a rifle in
Uncle Sam's service since he was 17
years old. His father was a boss
truckman in New York in the old days
when Fifty-ninth street was out in the
suburbs , and "Bill" was born within
a stone's throw of the battery. He was
a natural born soldier , six feet two
inches tall , broad-shouldered , narrow-
hipped , slender-limbed , and stout
hearted.
The family moved to New Jersey just
about the time "Bill" completed a rath-

erturbulen career in the public schools
and one morning he vanished. "Bill"
had enlisted. That happened twenty-
eight years ago , and from that moment
Anthony has never ceased to wear the
uniform.
His first active service carried him
to the Carolinas. where the Ku Klux
were busily engaged in their deviltries.
There he laid the foundation for his
soldierly reputation. His commanding
officer in those early days was Major
Steward , long since retired , but still
living.
Years later a young man drifted into
the marine corps as a volunteer , a
slender , soft-handed fellow , who was |
the butt of the company until "Bill"
Anthony , the pride of the barracks ,
called a halt. The recruit proved to
be the wayward son of Anthony's old
major , and the big marine watched
over him like a father.
Anthony saw fourteen years of sol
diering , most of it en the western plains
before he threw in his fortunes with
the marines. He was always a marked
man in the service , conspicuous for his
magnificent physique , his cool courage ,
and perfect discipline.
As a non-commissioned nflicpr he
filled every position known to the mil
itary code , and filled them well. There
was just one blemish in brave ' • Bill's"
character a blemish Avhich many be
lieve alone kept him out of a commis
