That was her sin. She was wilfully weak, trading vaguely, hoping teebly that somehow in the end strength might re- turn to her, yet knowing all the while that what she hoped for would be a miracle, and that miracles were not likely to be wrought in her favor, so that she might be enabled to regain the position which her own weakness was flinging_to the winds. . t 'iheat Geoffrey pressed the hand upon his arm.

How much that caring amounted to, only those can divine who have lived and suffered much, to whom joy and brightness have become dead things, whose exist- ence has been emerged into one dark, dreary level of endurance and mono- tony, and to whom suddenly, as by the touch of a. musician's hand, life and love and hope have sprung up again upon the barren tsoil, and things deem- ed tor ever to be dead have burnt up once more into breathing vitality. That was what Geoffrey Dana's weekly visit to her had bedome-tl" main- spring of her whole existence; the very pivot upon which her life was centred. Still, as she walked downwards, her eyes remained fixed as by a magnet upon that streak of white; winding, twisting, now to one side. now to the other, disappearing now and then be- hind a belt of tre_es, barring. itself for a ii"riit"iraiGt- Trier a 'cutvting, but ever growing nearer and nearer across the wide valley below.. ' - Presently she reached the fence which encircled the plantations about her hquse. She did not enter the gate, but skirted the belt of trees until she came out on the rough, chalky road be- low the house. Here. beneath a great bare beech-tree, just bronzing over with tiny arrow-like shoots, she rested, leaning her back against the smooth, whitened trunk, and wrapping her cloak closely about her. From here she could no longer see the advancing train, only tho long chalk road that sloped steeply downwards, and up which the brougham which she had sent to meet him at the little wayside station, short of Coddisham, at which he always alightcd, would presently re- turn. There was the same look of glad expectancy in her eyes, and the) little white terrier sat up against her dress, with pricked ears, and body quivering with sympathetic eager- ness. It was characteristic of the change that had taken place in her that she carried no well-worn volume in her hands. She was. perhaps, con- serous of this wonderful [act herself. for half instinctively her hand felt in the large pocket of her cloak tor some one of her dearly-loved companions of other days.

[ It was now two months ago since. up- on the frozen water meadows below liarliford Hall, Rose, had given to her young lover the reluctant permission that he had craved from her to come down and visit her in her home. Ever since that day he had come weekly to see her.

Generally he went upstairs to Monsieur's room, and a, few minutes' conversation took place between them, in broken English on the one side and bad French upon the other, chiefly concerning the wee- ther. Monsieur, who seemed scarcely to understand who he was, then dis- missed " unceremoniously, for he was not fond of strangers. and he only tol- l embed "Monsieur Geoffrey," as he call- ed him, because he was not required to do anything towards entertaining him. This small concession to Ice convanances over, Geoffrey gladly made his way down again to Rose's library, where the long cosy evenings over the tire-tight flew all too swiftly for them both. As a. rule, he remained till an afternoon train the nextian and then went back to town with a tacit understanding that he would come beck again the fol- lowing week.

I rode on my bicycle from Blantyre on Monday afternoon. Aug. 22, and reached Mr. Stroud'a, Mrs. Bunoe‘n agent's before the sun went down and after waiting for a few minutea started again, just after sunset, any! a writer in tho British Central African Gazette. Br the time I got to the Nan mazi crossing, where my private road crosses tho Bitsntrre-Zombrs main road-beyond Mr. Morkel's plantation, it had got quite dark, except for a lit-, tle light the new moon was giving.) The main road has only just recently been made. and is quite soft and ltugt-. py. besides being very steep for at [out half its length. The rest of it in teirly level, but none of it is in a; condition for cycling yet, except the portion which extends from my first plantation to my house, which was ‘mads some time ego. and is new nice L and hard. When I left the main road 1 dis-{ mounted and started pushing my bitt ole up the hill, but before I had gone far I heard a heavy body pushing its way through the bush on my left. I thought it was some big game, possia bly an elem! or buffalo, but as 1 telt a certain amount of uneasiness I Went to the other aide of the road and pushed away as quickly as I could. When I had gone a short distance up the slope I looked around and almost had a fit when I saw I. full-grown lion steam} Lug across the road, broadside on, with his head turned toward me, and an I looked he started in pursuit. I at- tempted to mount my machine, but owing to the slope and my excitement I failed twice. The third time I sue- oeeded in getting away, and I did pedal tar all I was worth, but the machine kept wabbling screen the road, and I saw that the lion had lessened the div tance between us by about half, though l was still titty yards trom the top of the slope. He kept up a low arowb- in; all the time, and I could hear him more and more distinctly every time as he still lessened the dlstance between us. I think I could easily have outstripped hun lf it had been: level, butlhe mngllmejcept: up a rattle, over the inequalities in the road, and once or twice I was almost thrown off. I did not dare to look back; indeed, there was no need, an the growl plain- 1y told me that he was almost on me. but at last I reached the crest, and flew down the opposite slope. I then suddenly remembered that there was an open tu1ltrertyuiroy the road some 200 yards ahead, but there was not time to dismount. so I rode into it, and) the shock flung me high oat of the‘ saddle. but I fell back on it without being knocked off. Fortunately the side of the drain next the hilt was high and the opposite side low, so that the machine was not struck in the culvert. and though the front fork was twist- ed and the front wheel grated against it, it was not quite jammed, and I was able to ride on. When I reached the smooth part of the road near my first plantation. I was able to get up a good rate of speed, but I no longer heard the growljn the rear. . L Next morning I went back along the road, and I found the lion had come as far as the culvert and had there come to a stand. The chase, than fore, lasted along the whole road from the main line through the forest to my house. a, distance of about two miles. ENVIIIIIO sum of "blue Moral: In Ireland In Iceland there are no prisons, and the inhabitants are so honest in their habits that such material defenses to property, as locks, bolts and bars are not required. Yet its history for the past 1,000 years records no more than two thefts. Of these two cases one was that or a native who was detected after stealing several sheep; but as he had done no to supply his family. who were suffer- ing for want of food, when he bad broken his arm, provisions were furn- ished to them, and work was found for him when he was able to do it, and meanwhile he was placed under modi- cal care; but the stigma attached to his crime was considered sulticient punishment. The other theft was mode by a Ger- man. who stole 17 sheep. But as he was in comfortable circumstances. and 1the robbery was malicious. the sent- lenoe pastedupon him waathnt he should et once an all his property. V --- . ‘. [sr. PM NOE NUMEROUS.
