I dreamt that enemies by stratagem took thee from me; then came telling me that thou wert in this place and that to taunt me. Wild eyed, my hair hanging down my back and giving loud piercing shrieks of distress, I fcllowed their directions only to find upon my arrival that thou wort not there. Oh, Godfrey, ’twas an awful night! An’ the terror of it hangs o‘er me today.” “Bon Dieu,” he exclaimed, pressing the small hand afiectionately, “how art thou changed from the gay, laughing Margaret who but lately dwelt in Par- is! Away with such megrims, sweet! ’Tis this dull village, filled with scowl- ing Puritans, that weareth on thy nerves, 1 do protest. I’ truth. Marga- ret,” he continued more thoughtfully, “a man whose lot hath been to be much at court as mine hath sees many sides of life. but beshrew me if I have ever before encountered such ignorance, in- tolerance and narrow minded bigotry as doth here exist. 0fttimes when lounging about the inn and perforce listening to the conversations and ar- guments of these sorry wigllts I fain must call for another bumper in an endeavor to raise my sinking spirits lest I do myself harm from sheer de- pression.” He laughed lightly at his jest. and Margaret smiled. “Then the manner of my cousin Jo- siah Taunston and his mother doth grieve me,” she continued softly. “They make their avoidance of me so plain, and Betty, whom I love. is forbid my house. Each day I receive an added slight from them, one day this, an- other that. Only thls morning one of the shepherds brought me word that two more lambs were stricken with the disorder that is spreading about among the sheep, causing much loss and dam- age. So when I was dressed I crossed over to mine aunt's house to ask of her the remedy she bath for ~tbe malady. To my civil greeting she returned a surly nod, did not invite me to enter and replied that she knew of no cure for the trouble among my sheep unless it was constant prayer. Then she ad- vised me with sneers and grim insinu- ations to ask God on my knees to lift the evil out of my heart and to scatter the black and evil spirits that had to all appearances obtained control of me.” “Talked she so to thee, sweet?” Sir Godfrey cried angrily. “Thou goeth there then no more! She hates thee be- cause thou wilt not love Josiah!” “And when I was going down the path,” Margaret continued, “I met Het- ty coming from the brook with the ewers. and when she stopped to give me greeting her mother called to her quite wildly from the doorway to come on at once, as if she feared I would do Hefty harm,” she concluded sadly. For a time La Fabienne sat quietly, maintaining an angry silence; then he said: "Margaret, methought once to go away for the nonce and then come back for thee. But now, when I go. I'll take thee with me, and we’ll re- turn no more.” Margaret slipped her hand into his with clinging fingers. “Godfrey, oh, my love,” she whisper- ed. with tears standing in her eyes. “there is a terror, an apprehension un- defined, hanging over me. The cold looks of these people weigh heavy on my heart. Take me with thee when ithou goest.” “An thou say the word we go to ‘morrow,” he exclaimed sternly, hold- g the small hand strongly in his own. “Right willingly would I.

But cares of the estate, the selection of a perma- nent overseer, which I find difficult; new buildings for the tenants, now in construction, and many matters of im- portance to mine interests will keep me here a few weeks longer.

Margaret exclaimed softly, her lips curving into a smile. “Such high sounding praises to a murder.

La ,Fabienne, who had unfastened the wrapping, was now examining the workmanship critically. “ ’Tis finely wrought and jointed to- gether skillfully, Margaret." he said. “Here, lad,” throwing Christopher 3 gold piece; “here‘s a coin for thy grand- father’s trouble." The boy, much pleased, caught the gold piece, dotted his cap and walked lway. Just then a flash of lightning streaked the sky that by now was thickly covered with black clouds, fol- lowed by a low, rumbling sound of thunder, causing the boy to pause and 100k about him doubtfully. Margaret, who had risen, called to him to remain; to go back and wait in the kitchen with the maids until the storm was over, but Christopher shook his head and, muttering that the gold- lsmitb would be angry if be delayed, i ran down to the turnstile, sprang over it and. hurriedly deciding that the path through the forest would be the quick- est way home, plunged into the thicket. Hardly was be under the shelter of the trees when a pattering sound was heard, and the rain beat down in great dl'OpS. Then the wind rose in a wild “er. the tall trees bent and swayed, tussling with its rough strength. and the grass and vines were swept down 07'” wi‘h the earth. __. M, ,, Christopher, holding his Jacket close about him, with his cap in his hand, walked on quickly, inwardly congrat- ulating himself upon the fact that he had been wise enough to seek the shel- tered path through the woods instead of the open roadway that was unpro- tected by high trees. Little, sharp flashes of lightning appeared almost constantly, and the thunder was con- stant, low, threatening, ominow. In- nocent of his danger and not under- standing the harsh, growling sounds of warning from the heavens, Christo- pher proceeded on his way. Now the clouds had grown so thick and black that the forest was almost as dark as night, and the rain fell in blinding tor- rents. Soon a sharp flash of lightning ran zigzag through the sky, then a clap of thunder louder than the report of a cannon resounded from end to end of the village. Christopher gave a wild scream of terror and stood still, uncertain wheth- er to advance or go back. Although the forest was familiar playground to him, he appeared to lose his way and staggered on blindly until, a long, vivid flash of lightning illuminating his path. he found his bearings, and, remember- ing the cave on the other side of the precipice now near at hand, he resolv- ed to seek safety and shelter there. With the wind and rain beating him backward, he climbed the steep ascent, clinging with his hands and feet to the roots and bushes in his way until he reached the top, where was s precipice. with water rushing in wild turmoil fifty feet beneath. Now the lightning was so near it seemed to be playing through the forest in long flashes of brilliant light, and the dark clouds al- most touched the tops of the trees. Suddenly, with greater intensity, the wind rushed shrilly over the moun- mm. The boy, pale with terror, on the edge of the precipice, wound his arms about the trunk of a tall oak tree. clinging to it for support and protection. He dared not move another step, and all thought of reaching the cave was abandoned. Another blinding flash, followed by two more in quick succession! The poor young lad, alone on this height in the midst of the awful disturbance of the elements, frantic with terror, sent forth scream after scream that the wind and rain defied human ears to hear above their boisterous noise and din. Then the clouds opened, showing light like the blast from a furnace, andâ€"oh. Godtâ€"a peal of thunder so loud that the village people with prayers on their lips fell on their knees, raising their white faces to heaven. ‘ The tall oak tree was struck and rent asunder; flames shot up. were put out by the heavy rifts of rain. and clouds of steaming smoke filled the forest. The large tree staggered, then fell with a sharp noise of crackling branches that drowned the sickening sound of the dull thud of Christopher’s body as it fell lifeless from the edge of the precl- plce into the swirling, tumbling rapids of the angry waters below. Nor was heard the clanking ring of the gold coin as it fell, striking against the rocks with a sharp, metallic sound, from his stiffening fingers. ‘ CHAPTER XV. OON the storm was spent. and the sun, weary of hiding its hot face, burst forth through the .drlftinz clouds that even now were dark and moved away w1tu low. thunderous growls. Margaret, who, with Sir Godfrey, had remained in the sitting room of her house during the awful outburst of the elements. now rose from her out and. crossing to the window, threw open the lattice, saying with a little shiver: “Heaven be thanked! "no out. with no harm done. That last pool of thunder had 3 murderous sound that filled my soul with apprehension. God keep all parted lips.

HOW THE HOLIDAY WAS SPENT BY VILLAGERS. Dominion Day passed without spec-I ial incident. A number of our inhabit» ' ants devoted their time to playing tennis and seeking shady spots about the parks. A party went to Petcrboro, going by Steamer Manita to Chemong, and from there by automobile bus. Many spent the day on the lakes, some fishing, others sailing, and more paddling with their best girls. The boat liveries were taxed to their capa- city. Mr. G. A. Smith, who moved to Petcrboro in the spring, spent the holiday in town. Mr. Jas. Bardeen has purchased the barber shop next the Independent office from Mr. H. B. Hanfortll, and is now in possession. Mr. John Hurst, after a couple of months in British Columbia, has re- turned to Bobcaygeon. The Bank of British North America are having some alterations made in their office here. A new floor is being put down, and handsome fixtures are being installed. Tile Harvey people held their an- nual picnic near the mouth of Nogey’s creek on the holiday. and had a very successful day. present, and all enjoyed themselves. The booth was well patronized, and great quantities of peanuts. ice cream, chewing gum, etc., were disposed of.I During the afternoon a football match between Harvey and Bobcaygeon was played, and the former were victorious by the score of two to one.

PATRIOTIC SERMON DELIVERED BY REV. MR. WELCH LAST EVENING. Rev. Mr. Welch, of the Baptist church, preached a very interesting sermon Sunday morning in Domin- ion Day. He chose for his text 144th Psalm, 15th verse, “Happy is that people in such a case; yea, happy i sthat people whose God is the Lord.” The speaker referred to our Dom- inion Day not being celebrated enough, when on that day the prov- inCes of this beautiful country. which is the example for other countries, joined together. He took for an ex- ample how much more the United States celebrates the 4th July. The reverend gentleman spoke of how the greatness of Canada should be spoken of by those in schools, pul- pit. and press, and every citizen should show that he loves and knows God loves this land, by celebrating it onCe a year at the very least. Then again, one can see how God loves the the land by having it the ruling na- tion, and by the great protection He has given it in the army and navy. The peOple. besides Celebrating. be said, should help to spread God’s word, which is all he asks. The speaker referred to the awful revolu- tions which were going on in Russia. and to think of how much blood had been spilt in that dark country. Ev- ery country is attempting to prevent this by sending the great representa- tive, King Edward \‘II. to try his ut- most to make peace between Russia and Japan, and in this way carry out her part. The speaker brought his remarks to a close by speaking of “love” be- ing one of the greatest and best things which can exist in any nation.
