"What do you mean, Aunt Hetty?" demanded Millie, her blue eyes flashing and her volce quivering, with: anger. "Why should you tell Jack not to call upon me again? 1 aii not a ¢hild and can see no rea- son why you should object to his vis- its if T don't." "You forget yourself, Millje," re- turned Mrs. Thompson in the same soft, purring tone. "lI am your aunt, your father's sister, and he re- quested in his will that you should make your home with me until you are either married or have reached the age of twenty-five. That makes me your guardian, morally, if not legally, and 1 deem it my duty to break up your intimacy with Mr. | Mitchell." { "What is your reason?" demanded | the girl sharply. | "I decline to tell you," replied Mrs. Thompson. Her voice was still soft and low, but her thin fingers twitched nervously as if she were im- bued with a strong desire to scratch the girl so bol confronting her. "Mr. Mitchell all~not come here again, That is all I have to say. Of course, as you are of age, I can- not prevent you from meeting him clandestinely, but so far as my home is concerned I shall endeavor to do my duty." - "I think I understand it all now, Aunt Hetty," Millie said slowly and scornfully. "You have deliberately planned this thing knowing that my father, who hated the very mention of runaway marriages, provided that I must ;be married at your home if I am married before I am twenty- | five. If' am married anywhere else one-half of my fortune will go | to you." wr | "Believe what you please," retort- | ed Mrs. Thompson, purring no longer, but speaking harshly and iscordant-' ly. "Mr. Mitchell shall not come here again. You may do as you please." "I am going to marry Jack Mitchell," replied Millie * quietly, "and 1 shall be married in your home. That is all I have to say." Bolting her door tp guard against any intrusion, Millie- reflected over the situation. She was now twenty, | and by waiting five years until she | came into possession of her fortune | it would be possible to prevent Mrs. ! Thompson from obtaining any ef the | property, but the girl's mind revolt- ed at the idea of waiting so long. There seémed no way to solve the problem, and Millie arose to take a walk, thinking the fresh air might | bring some relief to her troubled mind. As she stood before the mir- ror arranging her hat she noticed the reflection of men moving about the adjoining house, and she turned to investigate. Men were taking up the carpet and moving the furni- ture out of the room opposite hers, | while others were on the floor below, similarly engaged. Could it be pos- sible that the Jacksons were going to move? If they 'were the adjoining house would probably be for rent, and Millie raised her window quickly and reached out her hand. It al- most touched the window of the ad- Joining house. The houses . were joined together front, but in the rear a small space less than three feet wide separated them; to admit light and air. A solution of the probleni flashed across the girl's mind as she lowered and fastened the window. During the next week Millie spent much of the time at home. Aunt Hetty, always on the alert, viewed this unusual proceeding with suspic- ion and remained indoors herself to guard against any possible invasion by Jack Mitcacil. Millie smiled ecomplacently, but said nothing, as she noted her aunt's actions, Things were progressing finely, and at last the plan was ready for execution. Locking and bolting the door, she spent two hours in putting on her prettiest gown. When this task was completed to her satisfaction she raised the curtain. and opened the window, A mpment later Jack Mitchell's handsome face peered out of the win- § dow of the adjoining house | "All ready, Millie?" he asked. "Here's the Rev. Mr. Walker, an old friend of mine, and two witnesses, | Bert Latimer and Frank Long. We | are all ready if you are." Millie nodded, and the minister di- ! rected them to join hands across the space of separation. The marriage service was read in slow measured | tones, and they were pronounced man' and wife Mrs. Thompson, listening, as was her wont, at the Jeyhole, had heard the sound of voices and felt that something was wrong Vigorously . and viciously she had pounded on the door of Millie's room, demanding ad- mittance during the ceremony, but the Rev. Mr. Walker, previously ap- prised of the situation, had not heed- ed the interruption. As Millie un- fastened the ddor Mrs, Thompson's angry face confronted her. "Who is in your room, Millie?" dgmanded the aunt, glancing around in:quest:of the intruder. She found no one inthe room, but caught sight of Jack's face #eross the way. The bridegroom had waited to see what developed when the door was unfas- tened. "What is that man doing in the Jackson house?" continued Mrs. Thonipson angrily. "I shall request Mrsy Jackson to forbid him coming there." < "Mrs. Jackson® has moved, Aunt Hetty," said Millie calmly. "But you have been so busy watching me that you failed fo notice it. I. or, rather, we have taken thé house." "We! What do you mean?" in- quired Mrs. Thompson excitedly. "I have nothing to do with that house." "lI meaw Jack and myself, aunt. We have just been married.

Quebec, April 24;--A bitter attack on jhe Irish Catholics of Canada is made by La Verite of Quebec in con- nection with thé recent events at Ot: tawa college. Speaking of the "disgraceful dem- { onstrations" of the Irish students, it says that it is really painful to think that these "young fanatics' will one day be the ruling class among the Irish Catholics of Canada. The prej- udices against the French Catholics are not being dissipated, it contends, and 'in order to remedy this condi- tion of affairs «it suggests that the Irish students should take a course jor lessons in the respective histories of Ireland and Canada. "They will then learn," it says, what Protest- ant England has done against Catho- lie Ireland to humiliate her, to ruin i'hér, to persecute her with kicks and On che other hand, a short cgurse in the history of Can- ada will make these young Irishmen reflect on the generous treatment ae- French-Canadians to county and were received like bro- thers, . "The times are Certain sons forget too soon the debts of gratitude contracted by their fathers. Do we not see now- adays the Irish descendants of those unfortunates who were persecuted by English Orangeism running to the Canadian Orangeists to make war on much changed i the French language, the tongue of ! their benefactors and their sav- iours?""

London Cortespondence; NN Sun "Don't stop work at seventy; do more of it," remarked Sir Gilbert Parker a few days ago, and Sir James Crichton-Browne, an acknowledged authority on longevity, agrees with Sir Gilbert thoroughly. "If you wan a feeble and miser- able old age, give up working," said Sir James, who, although born as long ago as 1840, is one of the busi- est men in the kingdom to-day. "The most vigorous period of human life in its entirety is obviously between twenty-five and forty yeaws of age," he added, 'but to say that men above the latter age are comparatively use less is to fly in the face of the bio- graphical dictionary. Much of the best work of the world has been done by mgn over forty, and we should by no means stand where we are but be back in the twilight ages it bereft of what these men accomplish- ed.
