It flared out from the deep green of the •urrouudlaK woods like a burit of flames The foliage of the whol« land- •cape was beary with an August rlob- u«B«, full of quiet. The green learea wore a qulecoent air, au atmosphere of deefi repofle like soft draperies in a quiet room. Against this back- ground the scATlet maple rang out like a bugle call. It ahtvered with an ar- reeting beauty in Its tibarp contrast. In every locality there la always a maple that turns red before there haa been any (tgn of frost. It Is as though I Autumn bad lit the torch which should set te whol^ countryside aflame with I trilling beauty; or had prepared a pa- I lette of colors ready to be plashed j over woods and fields. About the same time there comes. In the late af- ternoou and evening, that i>erfume of frost In tile leaves; that first odorous breath of autumn, cool, pungent, dell- clously penetrating, (llter.s up from bush and fern. Like the first red of the maple It comes before any of us are <'onsclous of even the faintest breath of frost, and we aro roused to a fresh appreciation of the beauties of crIniBon and gold. After the l<;ng languorous days of *uininer, all green and bluo, the first scarlet of the maple conies shrill and bravo Uki; the music of fifes in the morning. It almost seems as though summer were all soft curves. Trees all In varying shades of green are .softly i and roundly outlined, everywhere the thick luxuriant foliage melts and sub- dues angles Into billowy Indefinlto- ness Thu white Heacy clouds of summer are round and soft looking, but with the ilrst br^'ath of autumn Ihls changes; n splasli of red here and of goIO^ there, and hedge and woods are marked sharply and clearly with long Hnsfesand straight lira.'-h strokes.

He tried in vain to comfort her, but he realized what she shut her eyes to â€" that she had never had a place in David's regard beyond one of ordinary friendship; that she had never been anythijig more to David than any other woman of his acquaintance. He went on with his breakfast in silence. Dora dried her eyes viciously. "You don't care what happens to me. You don't care if I am a miser- able old maid all my life." The description of herself wias humorous. Monty smiled in .spite of himSelf. "Don't be silly! You've only got to look in the glass to scare that bogyi away. Why. you might marry^ almost ! any man you know." | "I want to marry David." The tears flowed again. j It was not that she had any love I for David, but that she always obstin- ately wanted the thing beyond her reach. Monty went off to the office with a heavy heart. There were troublesome times ahead, he was sure, and, man- like, he hated trouble. He liked life to be peaceful and smooth sailing. He could gladly put up with monotony to secure peace. The sight of Evans in the outer office made him think of that myster- ious cablegram. He called the young follow into his room, and told him to shut the door. He indicated the paper which was lying before him on the table. "Do you know anything about this, Evans?" The young man flushed. "No, sir." It was obviously a lie. For a mo- ment Fisher wa.s non-plussed. "You are quit« sui*e of that?" he asked e.fain quietly. This time there was no answer. Fisher I'lokcd at him with reassuring eyes. "You have nothing to be afraid of, Evans," he said kindly. "My sister tells me that you saw this ines.sage .vc-tcrday, and that she gathered from your manner that you knew .something about it. Is that so or not?" "No, sir; I know nothing." "Very good. You may go." The young man went slowly away. When the door was shut Pl.-^her took down the telephone receiver and a.sked for the Red Grange number. There was some delay in getting connected; and when at last he was told he WHS through, it was one of the servants who spoke at the other end of the wire. "Mr. Bretherton is very much en- gaged, sir, but I win tell him." "Tell him it is important. My name is Fisher. There was another delay. Then David's voice, urgent and oddly ex- cited, sjioke: "Is that you, Monty? Have you any news for me?" "News? Wfiat do you mean?" Fisher wiis iny.stified. The an.-iwer ciime impatiently: more than I already knew." "As it happens, no." "And you can suggest nothing? You do'i't know of any pi»oe she would be lilcely to go to?" "None at all. Nigel always said she was singurarly friendless." David made no comment, but bis hands gripped each other hard be- > hind his back. I Fisher was watching him sympa- thetically. "She left no note, no word of ex- planation?" 5 "Nothing â€" nothing at all. But her bed had not beert slept in when the maid went to call her this morning, and she had gone." "She can't have gone far, and some- one must have seen her â€" there are so few people round her^ Someone must have noticed her." "The guard at the station did. He spoke to her. She went up by the first train â€" the seven-ten. She told him she was going to London." "She may come back this e\'ening." David turned sharply awajf.

"If we coul-d only find Nigel's wife." he went on, with a sort of rage in his voice, "we might get to know the truth of it all! Do you think it would be of any use to advertise for her? I know so little about her. I have even forgotten her name." "Dolly," said Fisher, quickly, and then stopped. For a moment he stared at David's tall liyure and averted face; th-sn he "I suppose you spoke to her yesterday." thru.st a hand into his pocket, and drew out a folded ^cablegram. He crossed to where his friend stood. "What does this mean?" he asked. David turned. He glanced at the paper carelessly, then with increasing interest: ^ "Please ask David Hretherton cable "Yos can try and find her for me. You lawyer chaps know the ropes, and I don't." David's voice changed suddenly. H« laid a hand on Fisher's arm with something of his old affectionate man- ner. "Find her for me, old fellow. I'd give anything in the world to have her back again!" , Just for an instant Mohty hesitated. His thoughts flew to his sister as he had last seen her, fluahed and angry, with the tears in her eyes. She was nothing to David. If he had believed before that she was, he could no longfer doubt the truth now, and suddenly his hand went up to meet his friend's. "I'll do my best," he said. • • • At lunch-time Miss Vamey appear- ed. She had evidently been crying very much. Her voice quivered as she appealed to Fisher with tears in her eyes to help them. "If I only knew that she was safe and well I should not mind so much," she said over and over again. "But one hears such terrible things nowa- days. The poor darling may have lost her mei?!ory, or been taken ili, or a hundred and one things." David smiled rather sadly. (To be continued.) -.â€" _ â€" â- % The Barter. I have sold the farm where my youth was spent. And my days of wisdom and glad con- tent. And my friends have come to rejoice with me, For~at last .they say, I am truly free. But I know full well, though I may not tell. I have sold the beauty that fed my heart. I have sold the spaces of azure sky Where the winged clouds went In co- horts by. I have sold the fields that the sunshine blest. Where the wild wind played with the grasses' crest, Words. What mysterloos things are words, mere syllabled breath, invisible shape* of air, sound scttJi>tured by the deft tools of tongue and throat, and lips into architectures more enduring than steel and stone! And yet these fllmsr forms are the golden causeways thrown up between man and man asd between ages far separated by the gulfs of time so the growing spiritual and intellectual traffic of aU the cen- turies may move silently over them. A word vanishes in the utteranc^ and yet nothing of man's creation lasts so long. Words have rebuilt em- pires where swords had destroyed them; and modem man in nothing more truly exemplifies the essential worth of civilization than in' the pride and affection with which be regards effective forms of words nobly uttered and geared into what he believes io be the truth and Justice and right as they exist in the nature of things. All our great Institutions are bulit upon words. Charters and creeds and; laws are nothing until firmly set with- in the "syllabled battlements oC sound." We do not trust a man until he has "given his word" and no con- tract is binding to the full until It is "put down in black and white" ; that is to say, the agreement Is not a valid In- strument until the words have the validity of a clear and fixed expression. We have a way of thinking still that the sword has been man's great and effectual fighting tool, but the pen Is mightier than the sword because the pen Is armed with swords. The great battles of the ages have been word battles, in which wit and eloquence and understanding have struggled against error and ignorance. Words are great thoroughfares that bring all times and places into com- munication. They are Inventions of peace and not of wars, the sublime means by which men arrange armis- tices and agreements and not clubs to maul each other with over their dif- ferences.
