Never had he seemed so gloriously alive, so radiant in spirit Again she raised her hands to feel the features she had never thought to see again; then drew the dear head, with passionate tenderness, down to her breast, and clasped It there. . . . To both of them, beneath the superficial lightness of talk, this hour equaled in sacredness that of their marriage morning in the dawn. But this held In It also, the half-fearful Joy of a resurrection. The past dark* ness, with the struggle, toward the light, had left ineffaceable marks upon e a c h s o u L . . .

"The fear that we meant brazenly to defy the English law possessed them. They besought me to marry you 'properly, in a church.' Your aunt particularly insisted upon a Protestant church --not a registry office, or chapel." "Just like Aunt Mary!" She laughed rather bitterly. "I couldn't feel-- more married," she added, with the quick shy look he loved. His gray eyes darkened; with a little catch of the breath his arms tightened. "There's one thing, therefore, which bold bad barons must have in their pockets when they chase their victims to Darbury, to prove their good Intent." „ "What Is that?" "A special license. I know a parwon near here. We haven't met for eight years; but I wired this morning to tell him we should arrive at his church to be married tomorrow--" "My dear whirlwind!" she gasped. He bent, with his old violent suddenness, and caught her up so close she could scarcely breathe. All the old passionate, dominating love, which had so often swept her away, poured forth and surrounded her; no that, pantiug and glorying, her individuality, after all its lonely travail, once more transfused, transformed Into his own. "So," he whispered, "we must have another wedding, my Beloved! But It cannot be more beautiful--more real-- than the. other In the dawn--" "With a little sobbing, tremulous sigh, she clung close. . . . "If we had one every year, In every land and every tongue," she murmured whimsically, "they would all seem beautiful to me." •The landlady discreetly entered at last to lay the supper. She cast one comprehensive glance at the armehalr, and her smiling face grew more radiant. "We are to be married In the morning." Alan remarked. Cornish people take life calmly They do not lose their heads or forget their duties In any crisis. "Yes, sir!" Mrs. Tregutheran agreed brightly. "I'm sure I du hope you will both be happy. And--will you have eggs tu breakfast, sir--or bacon?" "Both--heaps!" They smiled at each other when die left the room. "Somebody must teed us." he observed. passing his fingers through her curly hair. "Every little note baa Its niche." • » » » • • • • Hugh sat long over a lonely breakfast, a few days later. The "old people" were away. The London paper, with Its list of marriages, lay upon the table before him; but he stared away absently, through the window, without t u r n i n g t h e p a g e t . . . Presently, with gun and dogs, he stepped out into the raw February air, turning aimlessly down a lane. . . . An hour later, followed closely by six puzzled brown eyes, he walked slowly up the pathway In the little wood where--aeons ago--he and Barhura had discussed their honeymoon. The gun still rested unused within his a*m, the cartridges untouched within their b a g . . . . Underfoot, the flr needles lay soft and damp with here and there froiids of sodden dead bracken drooping upon them. The tall pines swayed a little, whispering their everlasting, murmurous song; dropping, sometimes, splashes from their wet leaves, 'like tears, upon the dreariness below. All the world appeared gloomy, dead, sorrowful. It seemed impossible that, soon, the sap would run in the tali trees, the young green shoot forth upon the hedges, spring--with Its fresh myriad life--awake with the "singing of birds." . . . The unloaded gun dropped unheeded to the ground. . . . The six brown eyes questioned one another wonderingly; then looked back at the tweedclad figure lying face downward, with head burled in his arms. . . . At last Shag, Hugh's favorite terrier, ever the most tender-hearted of friends, approached cautiously; sniffed; then gently licked what was visible of a much-loved cheek. (THE END.) mm of GMtw, Mad* Companion* at Dog* In -Memories <md Notes of Persons and Places," Sir Sidney Colvln gives an intimate glimpse of George Meredith's conversation with his dogs. "The mod characteristic strain In his ordinary manner was this blend of' the most scrupulous courtesy with the frankest raillery, both somewhat elaborate of their kind. He would take and keep the same tone with servants. He would even take it with his pet dogs. I have noticed that the dogs of men of genius love them mora passionately and devotedly than they love ordinary masters,. I suppose feeling in them some extra glow and Intensity of the emotional faculties calling for a response In kind. To the succession of black and tan or pure tan dachshunds given to Meredith by various friends, .Koby fend Bruny and Pete (for *Kobold,' 'Bruno,' 'Peto'), and Islet on whom he wrote his well known elegy-- to these it was a delight to hear him talking eagerly by the half hour together in terms now of caressing endearment how of Irony, or sometimes, when the poaching Instinct had proved too strong in any of them, of pained parental reproof." And in the same chapter Colvin Quotes Sir James Bnrrle's account of Meredith, written after the latter*s death: "He came swinging down the path, singing lustily, ^nd calling, to his dogs, his dogs of the present ahd the past; and they yelped with Joy, for they knew they were once again 4p breast the hill with him." Hatty faying Not f Fault of Eati fhdtdM American salesmen, trained to high pressure and quick-result methods, meet with puzzling experiences when selling In India, where men and women appear to be bunting always for an excuse for delaying a decision to a future date, says a writer in the Ohio State Journal. A New York trained motor salesman learned that fact when be tried to sell a handsome motor to a man of wealth in Delhi. There had been some reductions made public in the price and the salesman assured the man of wealth there could be no more reductions for at least a year,' using that statement for the purpose of closing the sale. It did not bring that result the contemplative resident there merely smiling and saying he planned a vacation for a year and would look over the cars on his returfe. ous Old Thltf year sees the three hundred and •Ixty-fourth anniversary of the demolition of the magnificent Church of St John at Perth, the restoration of which is now contemplated. This Is without doubt one of the most Interesting churches In Scotland, says the Weekly Edinburgh Scotsman. Tradition ascribes its foundation to the Ptcts, but, whoever founded it, It is one of the earliest stone churches built in the country; and. In the Twelfth and Thirteenth centuries, as evinced both by ancient documents and by the surviving remnants of the edifice of that tltne. It was mngniflcent and extensive. The monk of Dunfermline, to whom It WHS granted, allowad It to fall Into disrepair--a state of affairs which Robert the Bruce set about remedying, hut the restoration was stayed by his death.

By this treaty the frontier line between the state of Maine and Canada was definitely agreed to. By this treaty, also, seven-twelfths of the disputed ground and the British settlement of Madugaska were given to the United States and only five-twelfths of the ground to Great Britain, but It secured better military frontier to Canada and Included heights commanding the 8t Lawrence, which the award of the king of Holland, who had been chosen arbiter, had assigned to the Americana. By the eighth and ninth articles provisions were made for putting an end to the African slave trade, and the tenth article provides for the mutual extradition of suspected criminals. Abturdity, of Man Really, when it comes to glory there Is no limit to the absurdity of man. A man will glory in a disease, a vice, the wealth of an ancestor when he is himself poor or the poverty of an ancestor when he Is himself rich; the street In which he lives; the color of his hair, of his eyes; the possession of something which he picked up In the street--even the abuse of some one more notorious than himself. Men will glory in anything, just as the famine-struck will eat anything. Such Is the appetite for glory. And why is it there? I say again, to make men achieve, to make them write bad verse, build hideous houses, put up Impossible monuments, pass bad laws, and in general destroy their kind.--Hlllare Belloc in the New Statesman.

It ' \JL report sent from Baku says that search has been begun by the Azerbaijan Archeological society for ihe treasure of Alexander the Great, which is believed to be burled near tbe village of Andrlevka. It Is rather a relief that the quest for burled treasure has been shifted to thfe neighborhood of Baku, and that It Is the wealth of Alexander which is sought. Search for the buried treasure of Captain Kldd and that of the Louisiana-Mississippi pirate-patriot, Jean Latitte. -has been carried on so extensively that it IS right to give the treasure of Alexander a chance. So much also has been written of the buried treasures of the lncas and of gold in sunken galleons that It is diverting to hear from the region of the Caucasus mountains nn<) the Caspian sea, in old Georgia, whic^ Is now the Azerbaijan republic. Many unsatisfactory results h»ve a tended the search for buried treasu and In the matter of finding the wealth of Alexander one should keep expec| tation and enthusiasm under control. It is believed that the third king of Macedon, in the thirty-three' years of his active life between Pella and Babyion, may have accumulated wealth. In his triumphal travels in Byzantium, Egypt, Persia and other countries lie might have gathered treasure. Whether be buried much of it or qny. near the village of Andrlevka is the qnee> tlon. Treasure of Alexander the Great would be double treasure. The gold would be gold worth so much an ounce, but the gold coins, vases and amulet^ taken from kings, princesses and priests at Thebes and scores of othe* cities would be worth more than their weight in gold. Lovers of antiques* lovers pf things with imperial associations, lovers of things steeped in associations of war, plunder, conquest and assassination would bid against each other. The dispatch says: "Although there are no precise historical data Indicating the existence of such treasure, the archeologists were led to excavate by the statement of an 80-year-old resident of Andrlevka, who says he owns an ancient map stolen from a Turkish sultan many years ago showing the spot where the treasure Is burled. The old man's story. of a stolen map has a reminiscent sound to persons who have been burnt by the burled treasure fever. The dispatch also says that "it Is an established historical fact that Alexander's troops mutinied at one point in the great empire builder's campaign against Persia--2,256 years ago--and local legend has It that he burled all his treasure somewhere on the Caspian littoral to prevent it falling into the hands of the mutineers. The trouble with many local legends of buried treasure Is that ^hey cover &90 ttiucb ground. . ^ ^ ~ Whore Phone Operator Does All the Talking The telephone, which has been gradually reaching out into the dark places of the earth, now penetrates into the remote fastnesses of Abyssinia. Some Interesting facts about the Abyssinian telephone service are given in a recent letter from an American missionary. The construction of the telephone line to the capital city, Addis Abbeba, must have been a difficult task, for the country is extremely rough. It is an extensive country, bigger ' than France and Italy put together. The telephone line Is strong on poles so low that one has to dodge under the wire when riding. The operator receives and transmits messages, shouting them at the top of his lungs and using the instrument alternately as a transmitter and a receiver. The public Is not permitted to use the telephone directly, but messages are given to the operator for transmission. An Interpreter, of course. Is often necessary; but anyone who Is interested can sit at the telephone office as long as he likes and listen to all messages that are being transmitted, whether they are intended (or him or not Got id*a in Dr**m A "dream Invention," making posit ble movlng-plcture shows In broad daylight is claimed by a young bookbinder in Budapest according .to a dispatch from that city, the New York World says.
