It was all the re- ward he got for the moment, Lady Atterton being already in the room, with the butler at her heels. "He's a nice boy, really, and wouldn't be difficult to manage," Mabel reflected as she dodged the black velvet train of her mother, whose plump white hand rested upon Ron- ald's arm, while in truly regal fashion she accomplishell the progress to the dining-room. Ronald too was making comments, which ran somewhat in this fashion: "She's awfully good-looking, and an awfully good sort; but I do wish she wasn't so awfully quick and clever. Never know exactly when she's jok- ing, and 'when she's serious. Makes a fellow feel so awfully foolish." CHAPTER VII, "Oh, that was one, wasn't it?" ask- ed Mabel, projecting the upper part of her person over the boat-edge at a somewhat perilous ungle, in order to keep in view the spot from which a black, shiny head had just sunk out of sight. "I believe it was. By Jove! there's another!" I say, what a pity I haven't my rifle with me," "Barbarian! As if I would suffer harm a hair of their heads, efore my eyes. Don't you now that they're enchanted princes? I found that out the other day, in Scott." "It wouldn't harm them to shoot them dead--at least, it wouldn't hurt them, I mean; unless you make a clean job of a seal he dives to the bottom and clutches hold of the seaweed, and you never see an inch of him again." "That's romantic, and also poetical- ly just. If I was a seal I would much rather rot away entangled in seaweed, my claws stiffening over their slimy stalks, than gratify my mdrjorer y the possession of my skin." The gousins were en tete-a-tete, the swell on the loch having proved too much for Lady Atterton's interest even in the historical grave. Grey and breezy, with more than a touch of Scotch mist in the air, the April day might almost hatve been an October one. Behind the veils of the rolling vapours the shores of the loch seemed indefinitely to recede. All was grey and moist and unbrokenly uniform. "How about a landing-place?" ask- ed Mabel, as slowly they drew near to the island, which, with a tail of smal- ler ones, broke the surface of the loch. "It's rathef a bore having no one to tell one the right spot. Perhaps we ought to have brought a native with us. Oh, Ronald, this is wild!" About its being wild there could not well 'be two opinions." Hard indeed to imagine any more weirdly sugges- tive burial-spot than this morsel of earth girdled with dripping seaweed, tufted with coarse rushes, haunted by the never-resting .gulls--where the wind sung desolately in the tops of the weather-beaten firs, and the waves beat eternally upon the rocky sides with the moan of 'a (wild beast-that hungers after the prey which the earth has swallowed, but of which it would fain have its share, , Upon one or two of the smaller islands a few bleached tree-stumps gave an illugive impression of grave-stones; but that was a mere fr of Nature, a playing at the grave-yard game--for the big island alone held human bones.

They are not dead, they only sleep, For death can vanquish only clay, And kindred spirits should not weep For more than living dust were they. They are not dead, they only rest; So rough the road, so far the goal, God called the halt and He knows best When to relieve the weary soul. 7 So long the march, so fierce the fray And foul the ways of murderous foe, That when they tired at close of day, He gave them rest Who bade them go. Their toil Was hard, their day was long, = But not on earth more envied lot Than theirs, the brave heroic throng 'Who gave to Freedom all they'd got.

The cultivation and manu- facturing of sugar was introduced into Europe from the East early in the ninth century. = Venetian' historians state that sugar was imported by their countrymen from Cicily in the. twelfth centyry, 4 The first European plantation. of note was at Valencia in Spain. Since its cultivation at this time, it has been grown extensively in every semitropi- cal country on the globe. The Manufacture of Sugar The canes are gathered, freed from all loose leaves, and then passed through heavy rollers, which crush them into a lp, thereby extracting all the juice from the cane. This juice is of a sweetish taste and muddy brown in color. It is tlen collected In a reservoir, and there treated by special processes. After this it is run into large caldrons, where the pro- cess of obtaining the sugar com- mences. While the temperature of the juice rises, as heat is applied, a thick scum ccmes to the top. This scum is remov- ed by running out all the cane juice through g spigot. In this way the scum is left in the kettle. The juice is further: processed until the sugar crystals begin to form, when it is into prepared vessels and allowed 14] cool."
