She knew he wanted. to marry her, as a woman knows who is wise in the ways of men. The thought af the life she might lead if she married him, a life in the big farmhouse, sunshiny' in Ssmmer and secure in winter. Then she thought of her life with her uncle' in the dark apartment in the streets af the city. She knew that in & way, it was a false idea of duty that would take her'back. ' Yet she had to go, same foree that was in her seemed impelling her. The wind blew in great blasts against the little house, the. snow had drifted up to the window' sills, and white lines of it pointed secross the window pane like ghostly fing- ers. Dragging footsteps came up the path. Nell listened. It was not Jack Norton; these were the steps of an old man. From the door a volce quavered, '""Are you there, Nel)?" ""Unele," she said fearfully, did you come here? "lI met a young man down. the road," he said. "I wanted him to guide nie to the MeGregors. He. told me you were here.' "You didn't answer my. letter," the old man went on, when she had made him sit down. "Are you going back with*me?" Now that she was face to face with his meanness it seemed to Nell that she could never go with him. "I don's know," she faltered. "Here's a grateful girl," the old man stormed, and just then the sleighbells jingled and, if" another moment, Jack Norton was in the room; his arms full of bundles, his eyes beaming. "So this is your uncle," he "I thought so when I directed bere. You'll stay and have supper with us, won't you, sir? We are go- ing to see the old year out and the new year in.": "Who are you?' the old growled. "1 7" Jack's eves flashed from Nell's cowering figure to the grimness of the uncle. Then 'suddenly. he took things in his awn hands. "I'm the ynan your niece is going to marry," he said, "What ?"' the old man shouted, "I'm the man your niece isi goir to marry," he said securedly. He had seen the joy in Nell's face "But she is going home me." Jack shook his 'head going home with me whenever vou wish, sir The old house is big enough for twenty uncles, or if you like it better, there i» a cottage at the.edge of the farm where you can stay if you wish." The 6ld man glance at him. "Would anything ?"' he asked. "Nothing," said Jack, "Then marry her," said. the old uncle, "and I'll come wand live ip the cottage alone." Nell"s face was in her hands, and as Jack bent over her she whispered, "Oh, I can't let you do it." "tis the only way that yow can make my New Year happy," he told her, and as she looked up into his face she knew that what lie said was true.

Moreovar, éuch separate title is taxed, and for this reason certain ntéembers of ancient families on which a number of titles have ae- cumulated, drop some. in order to save money, Owing to the system long prevalent in Spain by which women of noble 'birth transmit their title not only to their children, but to theif husbands--so that a plebian marrying a duchess becomes a duke, Spanish titles rarely become extinct unless the holders deliberate- ly discard them --Pall Mall Gazette.

No. country in the world, however, has profited from war, at any rate during modern times, so nuch as Germany, who sent in a ecord bill te France tor $1,000, 100,000 after the war of 1870, and got every penny of it. -It was the reat Bismarck who arranged the terms of the treaty, and though he 'huckled mightily at the thought of getting $1,000,000,000. from the war (of ourse, making a huge profit), it is said that he was sorry when he saw how readily France .sgcraped the amount together, that he had not asked for $2.000,000,000. And it was not lang before this war with France that Germany squeezed an indemity of over $40,000,000 out of Austria, after only a month of fight- ng. Other countries, however, have found war a very profitable busi- aess, notably Japan, who, after the war of 1894-5 with China, arising out of the State of Korean, made the Chinese pay her an indemnity of $185,000,000. As the war cost Jap- an-only $30,000,000, - she. -made a profit of $155,000,000, in addition to which she gained certain towns and territories. But Japan gained little profit from the war with Russia in 1904-5, in spite of an' indemnity of $500,- 000,000 which was demanded; for the cost of that campaign to Japan alone wad estimated at $600,000, oy Russia has never found war very profitable, Her encountgr with Tur- key in the seventies cost her an en- ormpus amount of money, She would only have been a little out of | pocket if she had received the $250,- 000,000 indemnity whieh she asked for in her bill.

The loss to Japan's navy and mercantile inazine along amounted to. $250,000 000. This was tiie' fourth campaign up- on which Russia had entered within three-quarters of a century.

HERR BALLIN DID HIS REST TO AVERT WAR German. Shipping Head Entered In. to Personal Negotiations With Great Britain. A page that has escaped attention in the fateful history of the past few weeks, was the effort of Herr Ballin, the chief figure in 'German shipping and the personal friend of the kais- er, to avert war. He interrupted a cure at Kissingen and cams to Lon- don on July 23rd ostensibly to con- duct megotiations for the acquisi- tion of oil fields in California. 'In reality his visit was to consult with Lord Haldane, Sir Edward Grey, and Winston L. S. Churehill. He discus- sed the situation with them, and en his return to Germany a special meos- senger from Berlin was sent. through the German lines with a despatch} for Lord Haldane. y No one realizes more than Herr Ballin the critical condition in wkich the 'German mercantile. marine mow is, because even with the cessation of hostilities, it w!l be many years before it recovers ils recent pros- perity, if evar it does so. On the German register there are 2,019 steamers of 4,743,046 tons gross, most of thém of modern construc- tion, the tonnage owned by the Ham- burg-American Line and the Nord- deutscher Lloyd being just about half, of that aggregate, while mno fewer than twenty-five liners were being built for them.

Hamilton Herald Lord Rosebery has said satirical- ly that British military inefficiency in' a great crisis has always been ow- ing to 'the British nation's strong confidence in its ability to "muddle through somehow." It is true that in the past it has had a Knack of "muddling through'---but usually. at a tremendous cost which might have been spared through the exercise of foresight and prudent pfeparation. Perhaps the terrible experience of this war will pound home the lesson that Lord Roberts and others like him have been vainly striving to .im- part. mma Phone 454, Potritt Girdge Co., Limited 1160-114 Wellington Street.
