Srneme's letter said that in one month
they might he expecti il to appear. At

On receiving the great news I at once
iioked up young Nelson and his sister,

one June night, after long and anxious
lilting for some word from the west,
ny door suddenly opened and Graeme
walked in upon me like a specter, gray
and voiceless. My shout of welcome
was choked back by the look In his
face, and I could only ga.e at hliu and
wait fur his word. lie gripped my
Blind, tried to speak, but failed to make
words come.
"tsit down, old man," I said, pushing
him Into m chair, "and take your

He obeyed, looking op at me with
burning, aWpless eyes. My heart ii
ore for hi misery, and I said: "Don't

bad. You're here safe and sound at
any rate." And so I weut on to (rive

he answered slowly.
"lu liis cotlin''" I echoed, my beauti
ful ii Hires all vaulhln. "How was
it?"
"Thronli my cursed folly," he groan,
ed bitterly.
"What happened?" I asked.
Itut, ltKiriiiK my (lUPHtlon, he said:
"I must see. his children. I have not
slept for four nights. I hardly know
what I am doing, hut I can't rest till
I see Ms children. I promised him.
(Jet them for me."
'Tomorrow will do. Go to seep now,
i i...o
and we shall arrange everything to
morrow," I urged.
No." he said fiercely; "tonight, now!"
In half an hour they were listening,
pale and grief stricken, to the story of
their father's death.
1'oor Graeme wag relentless in his
self condemnation as he told how,
through his "cursed folly," old Nelson
was killed. The three Craig, Graeme
and Nelson had come as far as Victo
ria together. There they left Craig
and came on to San Francisco. In an
"And there
he would sit." paid
Graeme In a hard, bitter voice, "wait
ing and watching often till the gray
morning light, while my madness held
me fast to the table, tine night"
here he paused a moment, put bis face
in his hands and shuddered, but ipiick
ly he was master of himself again and
went on Iu the same hard voice "one
night my partner and I were playing
two men who had done us up before.
I knew they were cheating, but could
not detect them. Game after game

MupMity In not being able to catch

in the corner. I caught a meaning
look, and, looking again, he threw me

but as he (i:vw it Nelson sprung across
the table und bore hi in down. When
th- row was over, three men lay on
t' floor. One was Nelson. He took
lae shot meant for me."
Again the story paused.
"And the man that shot him?"
I started lit the intense fierceness in
the voice and, looking upon the girl,
saw her eyes blaziug with a terrible
light.
"lie is dead," answered Graeme In
differently. . "You killed him?" she asked eagerly.
Graeme looked at her curiously and
answered slowly:
"I did not mean to. He came at me.
I struck him harder than I knew, ne
never moved."
She drew a sigh of satisfaction and
waited.
"I got him to a private ward, had
the best doctor in the city and sent for
Craig to Victoria, l'or lliree days wo
thought lie would live he was keen to
get home but by the time Craig came
we had given up hope. Oh, but 1 was
thankful to see Craig come in, mid the
Joy in the old man's eyes was beautiful
to see! There was no pain at last and
no fear. He would not allow me to re
proach myself, saying over and over,
'You would have done the same for
Hie,' us 1 would, fast enough, 'and it is
better me thuu you. I am old and done.
You will do much good yet for the
boys.' And he kept looking at me till
I could only promise to do my best.
"Hut I am glad I told him bow much
pood he bad done me during the last
year, for be seemed to think that too
good to be true, and when Craig told
him bow be bad helped tho boys in
the eiiuip and bow Sandy and Haptistu
nd the Campbells would always be
better men for his life among them
the old man's face actually 6hono as if
light were coming through, and with
surprise and Joy he kept on saying:
Oo you think so? Lo you think 80?
IVrhaps so, perhaps so.' At the last he
talked of Christmas night at the camp.
You were there, you remember. Craig
hud been holding a service, and some
thing happened, I don't know what,
tut they both knew."
"I know," I said, and I saw again the
picture of the old man under the plno,
upon his knees in the snow, with his
face turned up to the stars.
"Whatever it was, it was in his mind
at tho rery last, and I can never forget
lils face as lie turned it to Craig. One
hoars of such things. I had often, but
hud never put much fnlth In them. Hut
Joy, rapture, triumph these are what
were In his face as be said, his breutb
coming short:
'"You said hewouldn't fall me you

to me I'm glad he told me thank
God for you you showed me I'll
sec him and tell him' And Craig,
kneeling beside him so steady I was
behaving like a fool smiled down
through his streaming tears Into tho
dim eyes so brightly till they could see
no more. Thank him for that! Ho help
ed tho old man through, and he helped
me, toot that night, thank God!"
And Graeme's voice, bard till now,
broke in a sob.

beside his passing friend, and all his
self control could not keep back the
flowing tears. ,

huskily. . I

knew Graeme was waiting for them.
I took up the word and told of what
I had known of Nelson and his Influ
ence upon the men of Black Rock.
They listened eagerly enough, but still
without speaking. There seemed noth
ing to say till I suggested to Graeme
that be must get some rest. Then the
girl turned to him and. Impulsively put
ting out her hand, said:
"Oh, It is nil so sad, but how can we
ever thank you':"
"Thank me?" gasped Graeme. "Can

"No. no! You must not say so!" she

, , ,, , ,
,,otl knows I would," said Graeme
earnestly, "and God bless you for your
words!'
And I was thankful to see the teara
start In his dry, burning eyes.
We carried hi in to the old home In
the country, that he might lie by the
side of the wife lie bad loved and
wronged. A few friends met us at the
wayside station and followed In sad
procession along the country road that
wound past farms and through woods
and at last up to the ascent where the
quaint old wooden church, black with
the rains and snows of many years,
stood among Its silent graves. The lit
tle graveyard sloped gently toward the
setting sun, and from it one could see,
far on every side, the fields of grain
and meadowland that wandered off
over softly undulating hills to meet the
maple woods at the horizon, dark,
green and cool. Here and there white
farmhouses, with great barns standing
near, looked out from clustering or
chards.
L'p the grass grown walk and
through the crowding mounds, over
which waves uncut the long, tangling
grass, we bear our friend and let him
gently down into the kindly bosom of
Mother Karth, dark, moist and warm.
The Bound of a distant cowbell mingles
with the voice of the last prayer; the
?lods drop heavily with heart startling
echo; the mound is heaped nnd shaped
by kindly friends, sharing with one
another the task; the long, rough sods
lire laid over and putted Into plucc; the
old minister takes farewell in a few
words of gentle sympathy; the brother
and sister, with lingering looks at the
t-.vo graves side by side, the old and
the new, step Into the farmer's car
riage and drive away; tho sexton locks
the gate and goes home, aud we are
left outside alone.
Then we went buck and stood by
Nelson's grave.
After a long silence Graeme spoke.
"Connor, he did not grudge bis life to
me, aud I think," and here the words
came slowly, "I understand now what
that means, 'Who loved me and gave
himself for me.' "
Then, taking off his bat, he said ref
erent ly:
"Hy God's help, Nelson's life shall
not end, but shall go on. Yes, old
man." looking down upou the grave,
"I'm with you." and, lifting up his face
to the culm sky, "God help me to he
.true!"
I Theu he turned and walked briskly
I away, ns one might who had pressing
business or as soldiers march from a
comrade's grave to n merry tune, not
that they have forgotten, but they
have to tight.

Defenders of the ScottUh national
fare of oatmeal, scones and haggis
have been few. To the ordinary hill
of fare nearly every nation save the
Scotch has contributed something, hut
Boot'.'h diahes, except at distiuctively
Caledouian f unct ions, are generally es
chewed, says the New York Sun.
A Scotch physician has, however,
come forward recently with arguments
in favor of Scottish cooking. He says,
for instance, that dyspepsia und den
tists are practically unknown in Scot
land outkide of the large cities, in
which the national cooking- of Scotland
is discarded for foreign dishes and for
eign ways.
It is a fact that though distinguished
in the field of medicine, the Scotch as
dentists are litMe known, and wlie
the details of cases of dyspepsia are
less easily procurable, it' is certainly
not a national ailment in Scotland.
The Scotch show no partiality for pies
and pastry, and in the highlands they
are much out of doors two reasons
which might be taken to account for
the absence of dyspepsia, apart from
the wbolesonietiet-s of their diet.
The Scotch are a hardy race, nnd in
one particular at least thev have been
able in recent years to impress their
views upon the people of other coun
tries, namely, in the moral general
use of cereals. The popularity of
cereal food has vastlv increased in the
United States in the lin-t ten years,
ond if the advocates of Scotch et, liking,
or rather of Scotch fare. hae been
unable to get recoiMiit ion for their
views at. the dinner table, thev have
been more fortunate nt the lir.'.-il-fnst

Near the lunil of St. Vincent,

The volcunie eruptions nnd other
disturbing causes have recently pro
duced some material changes in the
bed of the ocean off the coast of St.
Vincent. These will necessitate a
careful resurvey to make navigation
Rate in that neighborhood, accord
ing to Dr. Jaggiir, of Harvard uni
versity, who, us one of the party of
scientists sent to the West Indies to
investigate the recent volcanic erup
tions, haslnade u special study of the
vicinity or tlie llntish island. Where
before the outbreak of La Sofriere
and Mont I'elee there existed Kllltll
land is now deep water, as vet ud-
Bounded, which extends to the base
of high cliffs, bare and vertical, for
merly a considerable distance from
the shore.
It is erroneous, Dr. Jaggar says, to
state that there has been no change
in soundings as a result of the erup
tions. Tremendous submarine dis
turbances occurred, be asserts, and
the breaking of the cables after the
first eruption of May 8 was probably
due to landslides along the bed of the
ocean, the extent of which cannot
be determined. Tlie cables in all
probability were snapped asunder

thrown upon them from the higher
portions of tlie ocean's bed.

only by the member to whom the seat

There were no practical objections
made to the machine, says the Lon

Please find within a drawing of my

it is easy to keep clean, and at the

time ench ben cannot push away her

say that in putting on the upright

in this manner will last for years with
