They went iwiiTled—heaven knows why, as with so many of them—and went to live on Vance’s Island, a long, fertile strip in the river, three miles wide. There were no other inlmhilants, and the hills on the river banks shut away all sound of outer life. If * had been raised in the country, but she was a town lass, and the gas lumps and bustle of the seaport bad got into her blood. Perhaps she never loved him; anyway she was not happy. Kite was au industrious wench. The tiny two roomed cottage he had built was kept scrupulously neat, and she helped him in the fields, when, with her sleeves rolled back from Iter round, brown arms and a cow’s breakfast, as they call the wide straw farmers’ hats in New Brunswick, on her dark hair, he thought her a proper woman enough, with her lithe, strong ligure and gleam ing eye, but never told her so. By and by she seldom talked and grew restless ou the days when they put oil’ in their rowboat to deliver eggs and butter to the river steamers, lie did not notice how eagerly she scanned the dress of the women passengers nor how the captain kept an eye on all her movements. Fall came, tinting the landscape like a splendid sunset, and the red and yel low trees rustled in the windy sunshine of October days. Then he sprained his ankle and had to hide at his doorstep, while she took the boat and rowed out to the steamer for the tyade. She seemed to be gone longer than neces sary, be thought. Perhaps she was* driving a hard bargain. Site was shrewd, and be was lucky to have her. He wished she would liven up a hit, though, and not long so much for the town and shops. What did a farmer’s wife need in town except a market for her wares? But women were all odd. lie was right in his surmise. She had raised the price of the butter and eggs and brought home a few extra cents. So on the following days, when she delayed her return several minutes, he was not impatient. But when the next time for the steamer to pass came and the minutes lengthened into (piar- tc*rs, then hours, he grew disturbed and hobbled to the beach. She pulled a good, strong oar for a town lass, but her father was a sailor, so It came nat ural for her to manage a boat. The river was a treacherous How of water, hut her boat was easy to pull, and she had not far to go. It was strange he could not see lur. Perhaps she had gone around to the sand beach. The rowan trees were there, and she had a fancy for decking up the house with them. He thought it somewhat cruel as well as profitless to rob tin* birds of their winter food, but she laughed at that. He would best go home, he thought, and put the potatoes ou for dinner. It was the lass’ work, hut she had gone to do his, so turn about was fair. He was so honest! At the close of day still there was no sigu of her, and he tried again to walk to the shore, but the In jured ankle would not stand the strain, and he was forced to sit and wait. Night canto, but she did not return. On bis hands and knees be crawled to the beach ami called her name loudly, with u harsh breaking in his volet*. The cries echoed hack mockingly. The moon went down behind the hills and left him groping in the dusky starlight. His hands were torn and his knees bruised with the Jugged stones as he dragged himself, hut ho took no heed, calling out for the woman whom for the first time he realized lu a dumb, heavy way he loved. At dawn, peering out eagerly, he saw his boat ashore some distance up the Island. His heart heats quickened, and sometling warm and tender flashed through him. How he hud missed her! Poor lass! Perhaps she, too. missed her home folk. Well, the work was nearly done, and frost would soon hind the river, and then he would drive her to the town and lake her to the fair; yes, and buy her a warm, red hood and ribbons. He laughed out loud as he drugged himself to the house, thinking of her pleasure. She must have re turned some time buek. The boat was well up on the beach where hours ago had Im’ou the tide. She was home and doubtless wondering where lie was. She had staid out to give him a hit of a frlgh 1 : and had slipped in when he hud gone to search for her, dear lass! He reached the cottage. The door stood open, staring vacantly at him; tin* fire was out, and the gusty wind had scattered the light pine ash hie powder. She was not there. Doubt grew in bis heart as slowly he dragged himself buck to the shore—to the boat. Was she dead? A bitterness gnawed hjip- Hungrily he gazed at the waves which had taken Jkt from him. He D umbled like an old HUG* I’phbed, us tears splashed his face, At last he reached the boat. In the bottom was a piece of cellar chip tied to Iter handkerchief. Leaping at it fiercely, he grasped It with shaking hand. Then he rolled up his eyes, his lingers fumbling with the knot, his lips Uiawii while. Scrawled on the chip With i» pencil was a message: “I've gone for good. Von were kind, but I could not abide you or the country. I’ve gone with one as will take me all over the world.” Wi(h his mouth working tensely he started to drag himself back. His brain was Hying high up and down again. Darting lights played before his eyes. The whirling ground leaped away from him. Crawling ou, he reached the door, where, down tut all fours, like a dog, he Hung up his head and looked around the rooms wildly. Everything in them spoke with a trum pet voice of her. lie let his head fall on the sill. Then a groan came heavily from bis lips, and he was calm. The next week a new captain came on the river steamer. The birds Hying across the river on their way to the south saw n woman, dressed gaudily and in vulgar fashion, making her way from the landing to the little house on Vance’s island. At the door a gaunt man watched her. Willi a dazed stumbling be walked forth a little way to meet her. “1 have come back after these years,” site said, looking up to the little home, which, small and poor as it was, seem ed to bold out hope of peace to her. But he said nothing, only staring at her with eyes in which burned a faint spark. Once he shivered at the croak ing notes lu her voice. Into the house she followed him dog gedly. She picked tip her duties where she had left them years before, touch ing a chair here ami moving something there. She took a broom and fell to sweeping feverishly, until she Hung it down contemptuously and sank iuto a chair with a gasp. He had watched her silently with slow burning eyes. “Why don’t you speak?” she cried. Her rising voice was hard and crac kling. There was a Haunt on her lips. Her hands on her hips conveyed au in solence of boldness. “I have come back to you In kind ness.” she said, her tones going higher ind her voice growing more rasping. “ T know the worth of a woman like L . When my captain tiled, I could have had many a fair chance, but I thought of you, and somehow I wanted to come here. Aren’t you going to make up?” she cried angrily. <!od, what a difference in those ye; rs! IIis lips pressed together stern ly. “Why don't you speak?” she scream ed. “How dare you treat me like— like’ — Site paused and then laughed with her brazen notes. Bin the dancing lights were In bis brain again and before his eyes and around him a boiling fiatnc that roared. The room was whirling. He saw it all streak d and spangled with fierce color —the Poor, the chairs, the flat stove, the utensils of tin. and among them her face, the lips leering, the eyes staring. Staggering to his feet, he groped with his anus. His hands clutched at some thing sof and warm that yielded under his contracting lingers. They closed tightly, gripping hard to stop the whirl ing of the earth. The flame shot up madly, and, blinded in the dark, he fell, lying stretched ou the floor. *•*•*•• Years later, the upper end of the Is land settled, pity still endured among the people for the lonely man who liv ed on the lower end. They told stran gers touching there of the young wife whom he bad ntver seen from the day she ran away with the captain of the river steamer and he was left to his solitude. No one knew the whole until a young fanner wont to ask aid of the old man at the lurrvcstlng. No re sponse coming to his knocks, he lifted the latch and entered. The old man was half kneeling against a chair, his dead eyes thrust out iu their sockets. Before him, where the plunks of the floor were torn up, were lying the bones and skull of a woman.—New York Dress. A Home Gnard. The grosbeak is a pugnacious fellow with birds of bis own sizo, but ho never troubles the smaller ones. A good many birds found the nest from time to time, and, birdlike, stopped to gratify their curiosity concerning it. A iittlo snug sparrow, who had lost his tail feathers, and who led a sort of bachelor exist ence in tho greasowood all the spring time, used to sit aud sing close beside tho nest. So persistently did be flit about that I came to regard him as a friend of the family, but tho grosbeak never molested him. Once when a saucy little tbistlebird (Lawrence’s goldfinch) alighted close by tho nest aud peered iu the head of tho house flew down with a warning “tsip,” but made no further dumoustratiou. Ouo morning, however, a male oriole came down into tho greasowood aud seemed disposed to remain. It was one of tho occasions when the mother bird was ou tho nest. &iio half arose and ut tered a little whistle, their common cal), and her mate was ou the scone iu a hurry, all ready to do battle. The mules seemed pretty fairly matched, but the oriole is not a malicious bird, and the intruder withdrew. Once the gros beak with half a dozen orioles aud flitches made common cause against a California jty that had apparently at tempted to raid the nest of one of the little birds. Tho jay is a thief aud a coward always, aud this marauder re ceived bitter punishment at the bills of (be feathered vigilance committee that hastily formed.—Lipjaucutt’a ItlMinarck Was a Itellirlou* Man, No man could have had less taste for dogmatical discussions than Bismarck, ind yet his was essentially a religious nature.

WHITES EXHIBIT SYMPATHY. An Kvlilencu That Negro Education Is Knvored In tils Sou ill. New York, June 19 —The American Missionary society, through its secre tary, Dr. A. E. Berd, is iu receipt of re ports from many of ns educational in stitutions in tho south, especially those iu Georgia and South Carolina, show ing au iucroasLng disposition ou tho part of tho whites to attend the com mencement exercises of the various schools of tho higher grades for blacks, buch attendance has been made by business men, school committees aud teachers of the whites and public ofli- cials, who have expressed sentiments favorable to the idea that the good and substantial elements of both sides m tho south have identical interests in maintaining law and order aud all that appertains to the good of society, tho church and ihe government; that good citizenship can he obtained and ex emplified only by a people industrious, moral aud iutelhgout; that no race troubles have been or will bo traceable to the schools of tho association, con ducted as thoy are. Attendance ou these commencement exercises, it has been said, is au earnest of white sympathy with tho education of the negroes. These facts are said to he of special interest to Cougregatioualists, because it was iu one of their assemblies in Bos ton Governor Nortkcu recently dis cussed the race question, and thoy show that there is a southern sentiment dif- 'ereut from that which indulges iu race conflicts and iu lynching. TO CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS. If Otis Intimates That He Needs More >I<-n McKbilcy Will Act, New York, Juno 19.—A Washington correspondent of The Herald quotes an influential member of the cabinet as making the following statement: "The slightest intimation from General Otis that he wants more troops iu addi- lion to those he now has with him and those who are to he sent to him under the recent order, will he followed by a prompt call for volunteers. There will be no further parleying with Agniualdo and his followers and no letup in the aggressive campaign which General Otis is couductiug. “The pres.deut stands ready to call for as many volunteers as will he neces sary to subdue the Filipinos aud there is every reason to believe that he can secure without delay all the volunteers he may call for. This is the true situa tion so far as the administratiou is con cerned aud it is unfair and unjust to charge the president with u want of ag gressiveness iu dealing with this sub ject.’’ MODUS VIVENDI REACHED. No Truth In a Story I’liat Canada Had Scut an Ultimatum. London, June 10 —The officials of the colouiul office today were shown a dis patch from Washington saying that Canada had served notice on Great Britain that she mast choose between the United States and her North Amer ican dominion in the settlement of the Alaskan boundary dispute. They declared that the story is wrong both iu substance aud fact, aud that it can bo further reaffirmed that a mydus vivendl was reached early last week, as cabled to the Associated Press at the time. The arrangement, which is a verbal one, deals with it on broad lines. Oue or two minor details are still un der discussion and when they are set tled a final arrangement will he drawn up. Generally sneaking it may be said that the boundary agreed upon follows the summits of the White and Chilcoot passes.
