The Sunday dinner was and Rebecca was washing dishes io the big kitchen. Henry Miles and his wife came out dressed in their best clothes and got into the waiting buggy. Ever since they had been married twenty five years before the Sunday afternoon ride had been a regular proceeding. Their daughter Beth waved them a farewell as they drove out of the big gate. 3 ; Beth looked anxiously away toward the woods that bordered the distant gray cloud now and then flecked by fiyiug cinders. Rain had not fallen fot several weeks, and the woods were like tender, and the paths were thickly carpeted with dry leaves fallen froni last year. The kitchen windows faced the wheatflelds. and Rebecca's red face was pressed saxiously to the pane. Then she saw Beth and came to the door, "The woods are afire, Miss Beth," she sald excitedly. "Your pa's wheaf will be done for if the wind don't change pretty soon." The wheatfield was an undulating sea of pale green blades six fnched high. The dry weather had slightly parched the tips, and Beth bent down to assure berself that the grain. way too green (o be affected by the fire even if it should reach the felds. When she looked up again several men were running across the field. One of them saw her, paused and turned back. Slewly she walked through the wheat, ber light tread scarcely crush: ing the young shoots. Her fair cheeks took on the rose tint of early dawn, and her blue eyes were veiled under a thick fringe of lashes. The man watched her coming toward him, his bandsome eyes driuking in her fresh; spring-like beauty. Her pink gown fell softly about ber slender form as the green wheat rippled about ber feet. At last Beth lifted her shy eyes £004 looking wi Si BET his handsome clothes. [le carried his coat on his arm aud slipped iuto it as she came up with him. They had smiled a greeting into each other's eyes, and tbeir first words were com. mouplace enough. "I'he woods are afire," sald Ralph Clinton. "Don't you want tu go glong and see the fun, Reth?" A look of disappointment crept into the girl's face. fight it, Ralph?" she asked. The young wan luugzhed good pa- turedly. "It isn't wvecessary.

Besides, the wind strong from nothing can stop it uotil it dles out for want of something to burn." tioned Betb quietly. "Out in spark frown the railroad started the blaze and away she went! There were five wiles burned over at Wayneville yesterday." "Deep Hollow woods belong to my father. Ile owns right through to the farm bere. him," said Beth. "It's too bad. Beth, but nothing can save it, so there's no use in worry- ing," returned Ralph carelessly. ¥Come; let us go and see the fun. The woods 'are great at this time, you kuow. Perhaps you may find a moe- tasin fAower." "Wait a moment," sald Beth, and she turned and with flying feet re- crossed the field to the barn. When Bhe returned she carried a shovel in one hand. "There!" she panted, thrusting the utensil into his unwilling grasp. "Take that along. Ralph.

A Shrewd Scottish Lawyer. The Right Hon. Sir Robert Banna- tyne Finley, who presented the Cana- dian "'case" in the fisheries matter tg the Arbitration Tribunal at' The Hague, -is considered one of the shrewdest practitioners at the British Bar. While nof considered to te an eloquent orator, he has the art of pre: senting his arguments, not merely logically, but convincingly, and he has a mind of a strongly developed analytical type. He is a Scotsman by birth and education, and speaks with a distinct burr. He was intended for the medical profession, and in fact graduated in medicine at Edinburgh University; but shortly afterwards took up the study of law and was called to the Bar in 1867. His father, Dr. Wm. Finley, who was a distin- guished medical practitioner in Edin< burgh, was said to be very much dis- ppoinfed when his son abandoned is own beloved profession for the law; but the son argued him into giv: | ing his consent to the change even- tually, although he has admitted it was one of the most difficult cases he ever had to plead. Sir Robert, who is a Bencher of the Middle Temple, wad M.P. for Inverness from 1885 to 1892, and again from 1895 to 1900. He was Solicitor-General from 1825 to 1900, and Attorney-General from 1800 to 1906. He was knighted in 1896 and created a G.C.M.G. in 1904. --Family Herald and Weekly Star.

The threé of them, who chummed quite a lot together on the way over, were Mr. C. B. Gordon, the young president of the Dominion Textile Co., which Tepragents the merger of. num ber of the larger cotton concerns of Oanada; Mr. W. M. Aitken, more gen- erally known as the president of the Royal Becurilias Corpordtion becausg it is his pet concern, but in reality the wizard of Canadian pfombters, who even before he had touched the ~thirty-year mark had perhaps more consolidations to his credit than any other Canadian capitalist; and Mr. Shirley Ogilvie, a director of the Ogil- vie Flour Mills Co. Ltd., but more generally known as one of the four young men who jumped into promin- ence a few years ago, when after se- curing the control of the Canadian | Rubber Co., they formed the big Cana- dian rubber consolidation, now in- cluded in the Canadian Cofisolidated Rubber Co. Even a hasty glance back shows at y what a tremendous nace all three of hem have come along, fot it only seems the other day when Charlie | Gordon was working almost day and | night to put the Standard Shirt Co. on its feet and probably had never dreamt of such a thing as the con- solidation of the principal cotton eon- cerns of the country When the time came, however, for this consolidation the Montreal finan- ciers who recognized the posgibilities of if, right from the outset called in Gordon's advice because it was felt that from a practical standpoint he knew a great deal about the cot- ton trade of the country. When finally the merger had been completed it was found that Gordon' had relinquished hiz position in the Standard Shirt and was to fill the im- portant post of vice-president and managing director of the big textile concern. Naturally, of course, from a stock market standpoint, he got right in on the ground floor, and while he was going ahead making a success of the Textile Company he was all the tine adding to the value of his big hold- ings in the company. Then about a year ago, when Mr, David Yuile, the #cesident of the com- pany, passed away, the directors in- sisted on Mr. Gordon "stepping into the presidency, notwithstanding the fact that in doing so he wopld easily be the younges{ Canadian to dccupy such a post in a big concern Of course Mr. Gordon has also been a shrewd business man in other ways, but there can be little doubt but that by far the greater proportion of his present large fortune was made out of the Textile securities. Then while young Mr. Aitken has during the past year become one of the leading figures in financial cir- cles, both in Montreal and Toronto, still before coming up to Montreal to reside from Halifax he had put through a large number of deals, more particularly in connection with pub- lic utilities and electrical power con- cerns. { Monopoly," , of the North | ties." "Patrick," Duke of Connaught. A propos of the probable appoint- ment of H.R.H. the Duke of naught to be Governor-General of Canada before very long, though not probably this year, some jupers have | credited the selection of the name "Patrick," as one of the many borne by His Royal Highness to the per- sonal request of the Duke of Welling- ton, who acted as sponsor. As a mat- ter of fact, Queen Victoria herself has explained that the came from a humble but daughter of Ireland. Mujesty was out.driving with two of her chil- dren wher an old beggar wife hob- bled across her path and cried with high-pitched fervor: "Oh, Queen dear! call the next one Patrick and all Ireland will die for ye!" mates, the Duke of Connaught is al ways called "Pat," and it is related by one who knows him very well that he can tell the good stories he has collected in his travels and cam- paigns, with a humor worthy of his Irish name.

This club lifa' of Canada is a matter of one hundred and twenty-five years. The first social cl&b of this country came into existence in the year 1875 at Montreal, although there does not seem on the face of it any good rea-: son why, before that time, a few g fellows could not get together, string: out a few rules, and call themselves-- hat? Very likely the explanation is Just this: No common motive happen: ed to inspire thesn to unite. eces-/ sity created the first club. In 1753, the Northwest Fur Co. began to send trappers out into the wilds, determif- ed that they would smash the "Great the Hudson Bay Co., which had got a royal charter three years before. Now it required a lot of scheming to combat the wily Lords. 'he new traders in pelts found that their plans kept them up 0' nights. So, sensible men, nineteen: of 'them decided to organize. Quité appropriately they styled themselves "Fhe Beavers" of the Beaver Club, and with admirable aptitude adopted as their motto "Fortitude in Diffieil- What menus of entertainment. the Beavers provided for themselves on the cold, blustery nights of a win- ter in the New World! Ordinarily the man who drops into the National; Club, or the Rideau, or the Manitoba, smokes a cigar and discourses upeoru the vagaries of chauffeurs, or Leader Borden's chances in Quebec. The dashing Beavers whispered to each other of the redmen skulking in the bush; told of tragedies whirling in the rapids; laughed jocundly at the hard tack, culled corn and tallow, commenting on such luxuries as peas and pork. Sometimes they entertain- ed a guest, an attache of the Govern~ ment sent out to the colony to re- port. Then was the table heavy with venison haunches, beavers' tails, peme; mican, and tongues of the buffalo. How they regaled the wondering stranger, these voyageurs with the bronzed faces and great, heavy voices of the wood! Time for the toasts-- five the minimum, a rule of the club; the tinkling of the glasses mingles. with the suave tones of the master; then the wail of a violin somewhere, and the gay company rings out with the lilting songs, "Malbrouk s'en va- ten guerre," or "A la Claire Fon~ taine." 2 No club to-day in the Dominion was more exclusive than.the Beavers. A man got in on his merits. The firsk test was unique; the proupective mem-~ ber had to furnish proof that his trav- els had incluged an itinerary through: the Northwest the unanimity of the members had to be expressed that the applicant for admittance was desirable. Later in its Jeavers confined the wa those who had mounte the grades in the e of the fur com- pany. Honorary members were some- times added to the list. The constitu- tion provided that all members in} town keep the date of the annual din~ ner open--first Wednesday in Decem- ber. The gatherings often took place various | with great eclat at Fort William oni Lake Superior. The Doctor and the Dean. Dr. Jacob Gould Schurman, .presi- dent of Cornell University, who Tes presented that institution of learning at Prof. Goldwin Smith's funeral the other day, is a man of fine aesthetic taste and very proud of the college and of its buildings. A particular fad of his is a full set of chimes on tha college library. A graduate of Cornell some time ago related that Dr. Schur- man was walking across the campus: one day with the Dean of one of the colleges when the chimes in the lib- rary building began to ring. "Dean," said he, "the music of those chimes is so beautiful that i always sets me dreaming of the past.: My boyhood days 4 "What do you say?' interrupted the venerable Dean. A "I say the chimes are very, very beautiful. They make me think--"" "What?" yelled the dignified Dean again. "The chimes----the chimes--how beautiful--" - pth, IN ~ "Speak louder!" cried the v once more. "I can't hear you for' those confounded bells."
