CHAPTER IV.
For three day. after the' return of the
family to Avondale Castle nothing of any
moment occurred; life went on evenly
tnd pleasantly enough to the young, while
. burden of sorrow seemed to fall upon
the shoulder, of one woman alone th
mistress of the house.
Since her return to Avondale Castle
lira. Meason bad been a changed wsman;
from no apparent cause her strength gave
way; she spent moat of ber time in her
room alone, dispensing even with the so
ciety of Mi. Greybrook.
"Leave me to myself," she said, wear
ly, to Constance; "if I husband my
itrength now, I shall be the better able to
entertain my guests."
"Constance," said Alice one, morning,
'I am going back to France."
"Alice!"
"Your grandmother does not requir
ne; in n few days the house will be full,
mid uiy presence can be easily dispensed
with. There is an opening in the convent
for a nursing sister; I am going to take
it!"
"And you can sacrifice yourself so! Oh,
Aliire. it is dreadful, and if yon wiuhed
four life might be a happy one!"
"And will it -not be happy?" returnee,
the girl, "is it not the life I have longed
for. to minister to the sick, to soothe the
orrowful, to give help to the needy?
Donstnuce, dear, I want you to promise
me liefore I go that if ever you are in trou
ble or )n need of help you will seek it
at my hands? You saw awhile ago thnt
I was sad. I was; but it was on your ac
count; not mine.
"On uiy account?"
"Yes; there is some trouble in store fo.
ion. I know it, for I have had such a
itrange dream! It haunts me, and all
lay I hear a voice whispering in my ear.
'Save her! save her! "
Her face wns growing deathly pale, aun
ihe trembled violently. She pressed her
thin white hands upon her eyes, as if tf
ihut out some terrible vision.
As Coustance turned to answer her
.'riend she was amazed to see that Alice
was as pale as death; her eyes were fixed.
sot upon Constance, but beyond her, and
Constance, turning quickly, started and
turned pale, too.
Close to them stood a short, powerfully
railt man, with a awarthy skin, piercing
alack eyes and bushy eyebrowa. His fig-
are, though powerful, was elegant, aud his
Ireas that of a gentleman. He stood
smlllna, hts eye. fined with aa admiring
look upon Constance.

Two daya later Alice Grey brook tool
her departure from Avondale. and return-

the station. On her return to the castle
' she was informed by the footman that
her grandmother wished to are her ia

I the Duke d'Axxeano.

receiving you aa my gueata, he said,

I am a resident tn Avondale. I bar.
taken Lord Foley, house."
This visit to the Castle was the prelude
! to manT others. During the few day.
' which followed the duke found aeveral
opportunltie. of presenting himself at
Avondale Castle.
Its doors were thrown open to him. Ha
was glad. Whenever he entered those
doors he wa. pretty ure to find Mmsell

1 Constance.
(To be continued.)
Think of the Future.
Despite all that baa been urged in be
half of sensible forest supervision In
this country, the ruthless destruction
goea on almost unabated. Only about
a quarter of the timber cut year by year
haa Its place supplied by new growth.
t this rate la to continue it is easy to
lee bow short a time will elapse be
fore the land is bare and the streams
dried up.
Mr. Fernow. chief of the Forestry
Division of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, estimates the
value of our timber land at a thousand
millions of dollars. Surely this la a
property worth caring for.
Two plans for helping to put things
on a sound basis have lately been pro
posed. Mr. Fernow advocates a law
establishing an American college of
forestry.
Irofeasor Sargent of Harvard sug
gests the establishment of a chair of
forestry at West Point with the view
of ultimately using the army tn part
to preserve the forests.
Perhaps both Ideas might be carried
out independently with good results.
Certainly all possible educational
means should be used to place our
people on a level as tn Information
with those of France and Germany.
Forest fires alone are said to destroy
zen million dollars' worth of timber
annually. Intelligent forest wardens
could prevent much of this. Waste
the greedy cutting of large and small
trees at one sweep destroys more than
fires.
If we are to have any forests left at
all. the United States Government and
the several States must push vigorous
ly the policy of founding and maintain
ing forest preserves.
Large Knoogh.
A foot traveler through one of the
nllly regions of Ireland came one day
upon a curious little cabin, so small as
to seem hardly large enough for a hu
man habitation. While she was whim
sically considering as to whether it
might not be the abode of the famous
"good people," about whom so many
loving superstitions cling, the figure of
a short, stout old man emerged from
the cabin, and stood confronting her to
smiling silence.
After salutations had been exchanged
ihe traveler laughingly told the old
man that she had half-fancied his
dwelling the home of fairies. -
"No, lndade, ma'am, but It's a good
warm place, God bless It," replied the
olu man.
"But surely you cannot stand up la
it?" said the traveler, curiously.
"An fwhat nade to shtaud. ma'am?"
returned the owner of the tiny house.
"Shure, an' Ol can come outside to do
that same, an' whin Oi'm Insoide. it's
mesilf that can either go to bed or ait
down, ma'am!"
There was such warmth In the smile
with which this cheerfnl philosophy
was propounded that the traveler was
not disposed to pick flaws In it, and
amtled acceptance of its truth.

age lees than three souls each, brought by
us into tne Kingdom ot uoa, to nave tne
whole world redeemed. Certainly with the
church rising up to Its full duty, no Chris
tian will be willing to bring less than three
souls into the kingdom ot God.
- I hop. and pray Almighty God that I may
bring more than three. I know evangelists1
who nave already brought 60,000 each for,
the kingdom of God. There are 300,000 poot
pie whose one and only and absorbing bind'

you take these things into oo moderation,
and that the Christians will have to average
the bringing of only three souls each into
the kingdom ot onr Lord, all impossibility
vanishes from this omnipotent crusade.'
Why, I know a Sabbath-school teacher who
for many years has been engaged In train
Ing the young, and she has had flv. differ
ent classes, and they averaged seven to a
class, and they were all oonvorted, and five
times seven are thirty-five as near as I can
ealoulate. So that she brought her three
into the kingdom of God and had thirty-two
to spare. My grandmother prayed her chil

' grandchildren, and I hope all her great
' grandchildren, for God remembers a prayer
seventy-live years old as though it wert
only a minute old, and so she brought her
three Into the kingdom of God and had more
than 100 to spasa. Besides that, through the
telephone and the telegraph, this whole
world, within a tew years, will be brought
Within oompass of ten minutes. Besides
that, omnipotence, omnipresenoe and omnis
etenoe are presiding in this matter ot th
world's betterment, and takes the question
ot the world's salvation out of the Impossi
bilities into the possibilities, and then out ot
the possibilities into the probabilities, and
then out of the probabilities Into the-oertain-ties.

' ABOUT RED HAIR.
It Ilaa Long Been Held la Hl-Reputat an.
m Indicating Villainy.
For centuries the popular notlona
throughout Europe associated hair of
this unlucky color with villainy, nn
trut worthiness and deceit. In Henry
Hotel's "Collection of Proverbs," pub
lished in 1512, occurs the following:
"Proud arc the short, untrustworthy
the red-haired."
An old French proverb, which Is
known to be over five hundred years
old, says: "Salute a red-haired man
or a ticarded woman at thirty feet off
with three stones in thy fists to de
fend thee if need be."
In very early times all pictures of
Judas, Christ's betrayer, were shown
with great shocks of red hair falling
down welf on the shoulders. This
and the fact that the Judaa in the
Miracle Plays' was provided with a
red hirsute worked the superstitious
people of the middle ages np to suoh
a degree that It was actually unsafe
for a red-haired person to appear In
company, beelng that things were
coming to a serious pass, writers of
all classes began to rebuke and de
nounce "the senseless prejudice
against those of lively colored hair."
Cyrano de Itergerac, In his "States
and Kmplres of the Sun," boldly
praised and glorified the despised
color in the following words:
A brave head, covered with red
hair, is nothing else but the sun In
the midst of his rays, yet many speak
ill of It because few have the honor
o Ve sa"
Theadjective, "Judas-colored hair,"
anl many similar allusions are often
met with In writiogs of the older
authors. In "As You Like It,"
Rosalind says of Orlando, "Ills very
hair Is of that dissembling color," to
which Cell a replies, "Something
browner than Judas'."
lryden in writing of Jacob Ton-
son, a publisher whom he thoroughly
despised, says:
He ha. leering looks, bull-faced aad freok
led fair.
Two left legs aad Judas-colored hair.
Hundreds of other citations to this
popular prejudice could be given,
but the above are sufficient to prove
that the red-haired person's position
was nt an enviable one in the years
gone by, Republic
