The rare voice that sang those vords quite charmed Helen, yet she laughed softly, and a mischievous ight came into her irresistible blue jyes as she threw back her head and sang in her pure soprano voice "The Star Spangled Banner." After she lad concluded she said to herself with i low laugh of sheer fun: "I'll show vhoever it is that there is a Yankee >n this little sea." She had scarcely finished speaking vhen a pretty canoe glided around ;he bend of the Lac d'Amour. Its ocsupant, none other than the tenor iinger, regarded his enemy with a lalf amused, half piqued look of surprise. He was handsome. His lace was dark and vivacious; his smile, showing strong white teeth, vas dazzling. There was a careless jrace and freedom about his movements. The wind had ruffled his soft jlack hair until it half tumbled into lis sparkling brown eyes. Helen looked at the tenor half conlused, half afraid, for she had not sxpected to be discovered in her reTeat?and by such a well-meaning roung gentleman. "Pardon, miss, if I have disturbed rou and your song," the young man jommenced. "You have not disturbed me at all, dr?see, my boat has never moved in inch," Helen replied, with an atempt to look grave, but for some uninown reason she burst into a hearty, nirthful laugh. "You are an excellent singer, miss. Excuse my frankness, it is my misfortune, not my fault," the tenor said, eisurely laying the paddle across the :anoe. "All Yankees are good singers,"" Helen responded concisely, trying to ook utterly sincere. "So you're a Yankee? Yes, I snow so by your song which sounded i good deal like a challenge," the jther said, as he calmly and with jpen admiration studied Helen's proud head, crowned with braided joils of gold-tinted brown hair, her pink cheeks and slender, straight Cor-m.,,. ' "Ye?, I am a Yankee?Miss Helen MacNole, of Boston, Mass," Helen replied. "And I am Lester Lejarn, a French Canadian Frenchman," the young boatman retorted, with equal dignity, rhen both the boaters laughed merrily, it was all so amusing. ' It does not take long for two poung, happy-spirited persons to get acquainted; when Helen's boat grated the shore beside of Lejarn the two had hnrnmo miitp InHmntp T-TpIpm for her part, felt in a childish mood of enjoying the adventure. As for Lejarn, he was very much in earnest; he decided that he would see more of this charming Yankee, this Helen MacNole, of Boston, Mass. Helen found out from Aunt Sophia that Lester Lejarn was the son of an Englishman by birth and claimed his French descent on his mother's side. After the death of Lejarn's mother Mr. Lejarn had come to Canada, bringing Lester, the only child. When Lester was but fourteen his father became blind, and since that time the young Lejarn had worked in a Montreal business house and supported his father. Helen firmly put aside the fact that she was the only daughter of the widowed, prosperous banker, Arthur MacNole, and allowed the French tenor to take her boating, driving and wanting wnen ne was nome irom work. Finally, a message came to the effect that Helen must come home, as a party of wealthy New Yorkers were coming to pass the winter season at the MacNole mansion. At twilight, when the sky was gaudily colored by sunset, and the Lac d'Amour was a sheet of pink crystal, Helen walked slowly, for the last time, down to the shore with Lejarn. "I don't believe I care to go out on the lake to-night," Helen said, her voice rather low and tremulous. "You are sorry to leave this place, that's it?" Lejarn asked kindly. Helen nodded. "Why?" he continued. "I cannot believe you have grown to iov.e the I rHE POOREST MAN IN THE WORLD.

Tall, dark, tangled pines and spruces completely surrounded the beautiful Lac d'Amour; the blue sunly June morning sky smiled at its eflection in the .lake's clear mirror. iVild tuneful notes of hidden birds ningled with the perfumed whis)ered messages of the breezes and ;he musical dip, dip of oars. t j Helen MacNole rested a few monents, allowing the light skiff to drift dly towards the lily beds, while she ;agerly and with extreme pleasure irank in all the uncultivated, primi:ive Canadian beauty of forest, lake md sky. Two whole months at Aunt Sophia's cottage meant a great deal :o this Boston girl, for she had never jefore been in the fair province, and ivery scene was new and attractive :o her. . Helen had half lost herself in a deightful reverie when the sound of splashing paddles aroused her, which Evas accompanied by a mellow tenor roice that was singing with the most enthusiastic, passionate earnestness :he sweet song of "The Maple Leaf." rhe chorus ran: 'The maple leaf, our emblem dear, The maple leaf forever. God save our King and heaven bless TV*r\ monlo loof fnrotrar M Maple .Leaf better than the StarSpangled Banner." "Oh, no," Helen responded, trying to laugh. She leaned against the trunk of a huge maple tree. No particular thought came to her mind, but some strange, cold gloom settled over her heart. Lejarn looked at her very intently. The sunset had faded away, leaving the sky a blue, shadowy expanse, where stars twinkled faintly. The moon was rising above the pines and shone upon the Lac d'Amour with a glorious light. "Helen, it is because you love me," Lejarn Bald softly and convincingly. The tears coursed freely down Helen's cheeks. "Helen, I love you. I've dared to, although you are a Yankee girl," he smiled, "but I cannot claim you?you would not marry a poor Frenchman, would you?" Helen dashed the' tears from her eyes and nodded, saying, in a pained voice: "But my rattier." "Ah, I realize," Lejarn said abruptly, then, "Here, Helen, take this Maple Leaf pin, and when I can stand on an equal footing with you I'll come to claim you. It will take time to build myself up in business, perhaps you may tire of waiting, but remember I will always love you,".and Lejarn pinned the silver token onto Helen's dress; he clasped those strong arms about her for a moment, and only the lapping waves and her sobs were heard. She almost pushed Lejarn away and fled from the lake. ******* Hushed woodlands and tranquil bay met the tired eyes of the passengers on board of the boat which was slowly drifting into the Canadian.harbor. Helen, clad In black, her face rather pale and sad, looked back at the vast extent of ocean behind her and sighed. She would never return. Her father had died, and the heavily mortgaged estate had been confiscated, all within the year that she had spent since she left Canada the previous fall. Helen was returning to make her home with Aunt Sophia. From the time she left the boat until she got out of the pony cart at her aunt's cottage, Helen mused doubtfully, hopefully. Lejarn was in that town yet, so she learned?but had he forgotten her after that brief summer acquaintance? fhof an m q oran ing Helen walked through the woods to the lake. She even donned the same muslin gown she had worn that night when she and Lejarn had stood on the shore, and fastened the little maple leaf pin to the collar. The little boat was still there and she got in. For a time she rowed aimlessly, gazing beyond the black pines, into the brilliant, glowing west. Lejarn had forgotten her, probably, and she must forget him. Helen took off the pin and held it in her hand a moment. At that instant a rustling in the bushes disturbed her and looking, up she saw?Lester Lejarn standing on the gleaming strand of the Lac d'Amour. "Helen!" he uttered; his face grew pale with sudden surprise. With a hasty movement he started to unloose the remaining craft that was tied to the stake, but Helen shook her ueau, auu wnu a lew sirunes uruugui her boat to the shore. "Pardon me, Miss MacNole, I have again intruded upon your solitude? ( and on a sadder occasion." Lejarn glanced at the black riDbon band on Helen's sleeve. Helen nodded and stood silently before the tenor, who looked at her questioningly. "I have not becomewealthy enough yet to claim you?but?probably you had forgotten me?" he began in a choking voice. Then he told her how he had struggled to advance in business and how his father had died, too, and left him utterly alone. Helen told her own grief in a few words. Then there was silence a few moments; Lejarn searched for the pin, but did not see it. Helen, seeing the action, blushed faintly as she unclosed her hand and showed the little pmhlfim. The Lac d'Amour grew dark and | , pine fragrance filled the air. Again j ; the moon shone brightly and the wat ers of the lake lapped a soft, tender ; ! song, not marred by sobs of sorrow, | but a happy silence told the simple | three-worded story more eloquently j ' than ever before. Far across, on the ; opposite side of the lake, children's voices were singing: "The maple leaf, our emblem dear, The maple leaf forever. God save our King and heaven bless The maple leaf forever." And Helen walked through the silent aisles of the forest with Lejarn never more to leave the region of the Lac d'Amour.?Boston Post. Rose That Changes Its Color.

Gaston Ponnier affirms that the ability of bees to fly straight to their hives from a distance as great as two miles is not due, as some have believed, to either sight or smell, but to a special sense of direction possessed by b?es. Monsieur Bonnier bases his belief in the existence of this strange sense, which would be extremely useful to man also, on a series of experiments with homing bees. He does not know in what organ the sense Lg seated, but he says that, at any rate, it is not in the antennae. . ' < After a series of experiments with the California flea, Prof. C. W.

THE "GHOST FLUID." An Interesting Experiment Which Anyone Can Perform. There is an experiment, first made by Dr. J. Maxwell, avocat-general at the Court of Appeals, in Paris, a distinguished magistrate and physician, which may be repeated In any drawing-room. Place a screen covered with a dark-colored cloth in front of a window so that the light falls full upon It. Between the window and the screen put the subject of your experiment; let him hold his hands, palms toward" the breast, finger tips touching, in such a position that they -r, o^ilnof + Vio dart huplr aiC pi Ujcutcu agaiuav vuv ground of the screen. Then bid him slowly separate his hands, keeping the fingers extended widely. Standing behind him you will observe a sort of bluish-gray cloud which seems to unite one hand to the other. Eight people out of ten will see this, says Vance Thompson in a startling article on psychic research, called "On the Trail of the Ghost," in Hampton's Magazine. In three hundred tests made by Dr. Maxwell personally, two hundred and fifty folk of one sex and the other discerned the digital effluvia; about three per cent, saw it tinged a decided blue; two saw it yellow in tone; in one Instance the spectator saw it of a reddish hue. The experiment succeeds best in a warm room. Cold and damp work against it. The duration of durability is four or five seconds. A Voicano That Rose In a Night In Harpers weeiuy Aiexanaer Hume Ford describes a journey to the great Samoan volcano, which, during the four years of Its activity, has sent forth more lava than any volcano of which there Is human record. Every minute, it has been computed, 300,000 tons of lava flow over the edge of the crater and roll on to the ocean, Into which the molten rock plunges, dissolving into fine sand, and building up a new. coast-line along ten miles of shore. "As it pours itself into the sea," says the writer, "columns of water are raised in steam to incalculable heights, and this descending in a fine rain of ' .-ine, destroys vegetation and corrodes the galvanized iron roofings of churches and trading stations for miles around."
