The man In the wagon laughed. "Say, stranger," he observed with a chuckle, "you 'mind me o' the feller that got full an' wandered round for a spell till he fetched up to n house an' sed to the man that cum to the door, 'If you will tell me who I nm or whar I am or whur I want ter go Til give je a dollar.'" Page had to laugh ln spite of his plight, for the humorous twinkle ln the old man's eves as he uttered his Joke was Infectious "I'd like ter 'commodate ye," ho added. "but as I'm cnrryln' Uncle Sam's mall nn' must grit home an' tend the light, an* as ye don't know whar ye want ter go. ye best Jump In an* go down to Saint's Rest, wbar I live, an' In the mornin' we'll try an* hunt np yer boat." It seemed the only thing to do, and Albert availed himself of the chance. "Can you tell the spot where you found- me?" he said to the man as they started on. "I'd like to go back there tomorrow and find my cushions." "Waal," was the answer, "as I've druv over this road twice a day for nigh on to thirty year, I'm tolerable familiar with It. My name's Terry, an' I'm keeper o' the light at the Cape an' carry the mail to sorter piece out on. Who might ye be?" "My name's Page, and I'm from Boeton, and a lawyer by profession," replied Albert Uncle Terry eyed htm rather sharply. "I wouldn't 'a' took ye fer one," ha said. "Ye look too honest. I ain't much stuck on lawyers," he added with a chuckle. "I've had 'sperence with 'em. One of 'cm sold mo a hole la the ground onct, nn' It cost me the hull o' twenty years' pavlu's! Ye'll 'scusa me fer beiu' blunt?It's my natur." "Oh, I don't mind," responded Albert laughingly. "But you mustn't judge us all by one rascal." They drove on, and as they jogged up and down the sharp hills he caught sight here and there of the ocean, and alongside the road, which consisted of two ruts, a path and two grass grown ridges, ho saw wild roses In endless profusion. On either linnd was an interminable thicket, in the little valleys grew masses of rank ferns and on the ridges, interspersed between the wild roses, clusters of red bunchberries. The sun was almost down when they reached the top of o long hill and he saw nt its foot a small harbor connected with the ocean by a narrow inlet nnd around it a dozen or more Drown uouros. Jtseyond was a tangle of rocka and, rifling above them, the top of n white llghthoune. Uncle Stood there unconsciou*. Terrj?, who had kept up a running Are of questions all the time, halted the horse and aaid: "Ye can now take yer first look at 8alnt's Itest, otherwise known as the Cape. We ketch some lobsters an' Ash hero n ' h?v upovnr mootin'a Anna a ? ?- , J ? week." Then he chirruped to the horse, and they rattled down the hill to a small store, where he left n mall pouch and then followed a winding road between the scattered houses and out to the point, where stood n neat white dwelling close beside n lighthouse. "I'll take ye Into tlie house," said Uncle Terry as the two alighted, "an' tell the wlmmln folks to put on an extra plate, on' I'll put up the hoss." "I'm afraid I'm putting your family to some inconvenience," responded Albert, "and as It is not dark yet I will walk out on the point. I may see the yacht and save you all trouble." The sun, a ball of fire, was almost at the horizon, the sea all arotind lay a* unruffled expanse of dark blue, undulating with the ground swells that caught the red glow of the sinking can is they came In and broke upon the rocks. Albert walked on to the highest of the shore cocks and looked about. There was no sign of the Gypsy, and only one boat eas visible, and that a dory rowed by a man standing upright Over the still water* Albert could detect the measured stroke of his oars. That and the low rumble of the ground swells, break hi? almost at hla fast mi tit iBtr mtti Xt vu lJJa a dream of solitude,' far removed from the world and nil Its distractions. For a few moments he stood contemplating the ocean alight with the setting sun's red glow, the gray rocks ut his feet and the tall white lighthouse towering above him, nnd then started around the point. Ho had not taken ten steps when he saw the figurcwof a girl leaning against a rock and watching the setting sun. One elbow was resting on the rock, her face reposing In her open hand and finger* half hid In the thick masses of hair that shone In the sunlight like burnished gold. A broad sun hat lay on the rock, and the delicate profile of her face was sharply outlined against the western sky. She had not heard Albert's steps, but stood there unconscious of his scrutiny. He noted the classic contour of her features, the delicate oval of her Hps and chin, and his artist eye dwelt upon and admired her rounded bosom and perfect shouldere. Had slio posed for a picture she could not have chosen a better position, and was so alluring and withal so sweet nnd unconscious that for n moment he forgot all else, even his own rudeness In standing there and staring at her. Then he recovered himself nnd, turning, softly retraced his steps so as not to disturb her. Who Bhe was he had no idea and was still wondering when he met Uncle Terry, who ut once Invited him Into the house. "This 'ere's Mr. Fage, Llssy," he said as they entered nnd met a stout, elderly and gruy haired woman. "I found him up the rond a spell an' wantin' to know whar he was." Albert bowed. "I am sorry to Intrude," he said, "but I had lost my boat and all points of the compass when your husband kindly took mo In charge." Being offered a chair, Albert sat down nnd was left nlnne. He snrveverl the plainly furnished sitting room, with open fireplace, n many colored rag carpet on the door, old fashioned chairs and dozens of pictures on the walls. They caught his eye at once, mainly because of the oddity of the frames, which were evidently homemade, and then a door was opened, and Uncle Terry invited him Into a lighted room where a table was set. The elderly lady was standing at one end of it and beside her a younger one, and as Albert entered he heard Uncle Terry say, "This is our gal Telly, Mr. Page," and as he bowed he saw, garbed in spotless white, the girl he had 6een leaning against the rock and watching the sunset. CHAPTER XX. T"""""""" IIE appealing yet wondering glance that Albert Page met as lie bowed to the girl standing beside the table that evening was one he never afterward forgot It was only one, for after that and during the entire meal her blue eyes were kept veiled by their long lashes or modestly directed elsewhere. "It's a charming spot down here," he remarked boou after the meal began, "and so hidden that it is a surprise. I noticed the light as we came In, but did not see the village." "Waal, ye didn't miss anything," responded his host. "None o' the houses are much for style, an' mebbe It's lucky they're hid behind the rocks." "I thought them quaint and comfortable," observed Albert, "but what fln odd name you have for the place! Why do you call It Saint's Rest?" "Chiefly 'cause none o* the people have any chance to iJceomo slnnere, 1 reckon," was the answer. "It's a trifle lonesome in the wluter, though." "I suppose Ashing Is your principal occupation here," continued Albert, seeing that sentiment was not considered by Uncle Terry. "Your land does not seem adapted for cultivation." "There ain't much chance for tlllin'," he replied. "The land's wuss'n whar I was brung up, down in Connecticut, an' thar we had ter round up the sheep once a week an' sharpen thar noses on the grln'stunl We manage ter raise 'nough ter eot, though." When the meal was over Uncle Terry said: "It's nice an' cool out on the rocks, an' thar's some seats out thar. If ye enjoy smokln' we best go out while the trltninln ara rlftln' Uw dishes." The moon that Frank had planned to use was nearlng its full and high overhead, and as the two men sought congeniality in tobacco out on that lonesome point Albert could not curb his admiration for the scene. Ills offer of a cigar to his host had been accepted, and as that quaint man sat quietly enjoying an odor and flavor he was unaccustomed to Albert said: "This experience has been a surprise to me from the moment I mot you. I had an ugly hour's scramble over the rocks nnd through a tangle of scrub spruce and briers until I was utterly lost and believed this island an impassable wilderness. Then you cnme along nnd brought me to one of the most beautiful spots I ever saw. I should like to stay here all summer nnd do nothing but look at this magnificent ocean view and sketch these bold shores." "Do you paint picture too?" queried Uncle Terry, suddenly Interested. "TeUy's daft on doin' that, an' is at it all the timo she can git." Then he added with a slight reflection of pride, "Mebbe ye noticed some o' her picture in the sittin' room?" "I saw a lot of pictures there," answered Albert, "but it was too dark to ce them well. I should like to look ut them in tbe morning." "Ye'll Lev plenty o' time," was the reply, "I must pull my lobster traps fust, an' after that I'll take ye in my dory an' we'll go an' find yer boat. I guess she must be lyin' in Seal cove, tbe only openin' 'twlxt here an' tbe bead she'd be likely ter run Into." "And so your (laughter Is an artist, is she?' asked Albert, Indifferent now ss to where the Gypsy was or when be was likely to return to her. "H?? to taken Ihtsongf' "No, it conies nat'rai to ner,~ repnea Uncle Terry; "she showed the bent o' her mind 'fore she was ten years old, an' she's pestered me ever since ter Kit her cnnvao an' paints an' slch. But then, I'm wlllin' ter," he added in a tender tone. Telly's a good girl, an' Llasy an' me set great store by her. She's all we've got In the world." Then pointing to a small white stone just to the right of where they were, he added, "Thar's whar the other one's been laylu* fer mor*n twenty years." "This one has grown to be a very beautiful girl," said Albert quietly, "and you have reason to be proud of her." Uncle Terry made no reply, but seemed lost in a reverie, and Albert slowly puffed his cigar and looked out on the ocean and along the ever widening path of moonlight He wished that this fair girl, so quaintly spoken of, were there beside him, that he might talk to her about her art. How it could be managed and what excuse to give for remaining longer than tho morrow he could not see. He looked toward the house, white In the moonlight with the tall lighthouse and its beacon flash Just beyond, and wondered If he should see the girl ngain that night. He was on the point of suggesting they go In nnd visit a littlo with the ladles when Undo Terry Bald: "I believe ye called yerself a lawyer, Mr. Page, an' from Boston. Do ye happen to know n lawyer thar that has got eyes like a cat an' rubs his hands as if he was wasbiril 'em while he's talkin' r Albert gave a start "I do, Mr. Terry," he answered. "I know him well. His name la Frye, Nicholas Frye." "An* as ye're a lawyer, an' one that looks to me as honest," continued Uncle Terry, "what Is yer honest opinion of this Mr. Frye?" "That is a question I would rather not auswer," replied Albert, "until 1 know why you ask it and what your opinion of Mr. Frye is. Mine might not flntter him, and 1 do not believe in speaking 111 of anybody unless forced to." Uncle Terry was silent, evidently revolving a serious problem In his mind. "I am goln' to beg yer pardon, Mr. Page," he said nt last, "far speaklu' the way I did regardln' lawyers In glneral. My 'sperence with 'em has been bad, an' naterally I don't trust 'em much. I've had some dealln's with this 'ere Frye 'bout a matter I don't wnnt to tell 'bout, an' the way things Is workln' ain't as they slyuld be. I b'lieve I'm robbed right along, an' If ye're wlllin' to help me I shall be most tarnnlly grateful an' will give yo my word I'll never let on to anybody what ye say?an' Silas Terry never ylt broke his promise."

Waterlogged Servian*. n English woman traveling In Serrla thus gives n striking glimpse of |er own prejudices and tastes: "The Bervinus drink too much cold water, and they drink it till they are pulpy. An average Serb drinks enough cold water for an English cow. I doubt whether the language contains an equivalent for 'bad training,' for when I tried to explain the idea ft created surprise. A doctor told me he had never heard the theory before. To him It seemed a natural and wholesome hubit. Moreover, he added, 'there is plenty,' and seemed to think It was rather wasteful to leave any unswallowed. To me It explained the lack of activity. The natiou Is waterlogged. I All day long and every day the Serb ; calls for a glass of cold water, and when he has drunk it he calls for another. Perhaps owing to this he has little space for alcohol. At any rate, I never saw a drunken man, even among the peasants." ~ l Where Wliltc Ant* Are Vietnl. A white ant's nest Is about the last thing in the world one would expect to be of practical service to mankind, yet in Western Australia white ants and their uests are put to a vuriety of economic uses. In the first place, the uborigines sometimes eat the ants, and there are even a few white residents who have i tasted them for the sake of experience ! and say they are not bad. But it is not a habit with the aborigines to eat the insects. They prefer to devour the mold out of which the ants build their , nest Capital ovens are frequently Improvised by the Australian prospector out of these white ant mounds. They make a solid floor, almost like cement, for the settlers' huts, and In the township of Derby, in Western Australia, they have been turned to profitable use by^ being rolled in as a top layer on the public roads. Her Early Resolution*. This story is told by an Englishman who lived a century ago: He was dining cnt in London and sat by n lady whom he did not know. Their conversation turned upon early resolutions ?uu uun wry st'iuuiu iuey were Kept, and the lady said: "Well, when I was a girl I made three resolutions?first, I determined that I would never marry a soldier; secondly, that I. would never marry an Irishman, and, thirdly, that I would not be long engaged. And all those three resolutions I broke. Whom do you think 1 did marry? The Duke of Wellington! He was a soldier and on Irishman, and I was engaged to him for twelve years." This was Lady Katherlne Pakenliam. It was an unhappy marriage, and the couple mostly lived apart. Making Sore of It. The colored janitor of the flat next door approached the grocer and handed hliu a paper containing some white powder. "Say, boss," he asked, "what yon fink dot is? Jes' taste it an' tell me yo' 'pinion." The grocer smelled it, then touched it to his tongue. "Well, Jake, I should say that was soda." "Dat's Jest what I say," replied the Janitor triumphantly.

' The year 11)04 promises to l?e one of unusual importance in the annals of engineering progress on the North American continent. In all human possibility Ave will see inaugurated during the year several grc.t engineering works, great not only i*i the magnitude of the operations involved, hut in their prospective influence upon cominercc^nd Industry, both national and international. The first of these great tasks to be undertaken is the construction of the Isthmian canal. The dimensions of this problem are vast as measured by similar enterprises in other parts of the world, and the ipportunity will now be given to Aim rican engineers and American contractor^ and builders of machinery to utilize nil that knowledge, skill and experience In conducting pub.11c works that have already done so much to make our own country great. The economical solution of the. problem calls for mechanical appliances to n degree almost unprecedented, and for this machinery we confidently look to our own engineers and to our own shops. Another great engineering enterprise, already started, hut to be energetically pushed this year. Is the plan of the Pennsylvania Railroad company to connect its system with the cities of New York and Brooklyn by tunneling under I the Hudson and lOnst rivers Hore ' ' again, is n problem that in Its solution ' includes new and practically untried , engineering methods. In the stnte of New York the popular vote technically approves of the expenditure of a hundred or more millions upon the thousand ton barge canal connecting the great lakes with the Atlantic seaboard. In many of the inland states the companies controlling the great railway < systems have an enormous volume of work either in progress or conteinplat ed which has for its object the cren- * tion of new works to take the place of those planned and executed by a past generation of engineers. The enormous traffic developed by the growth of our domestic commerce hns brought into use heavier locomotives, larger cars and stronger bridges, and the resulting saving in operating . expenditures now warrants nn outlay for reduction in distances, gradients and curvature that would have been deemed wasteful extravaganee by the ( preceding generation. ] Northward, in the Canadian posses- " slons, the coming year will doubtless t see a notable beginning made in what < will become another great transcontinental railway. This Grand Trunk ?,111 ?? - AAA A ttVlUV llUMYilJ Hill UU Ilt'Uny f,WU I * miles long and will connect the At- I lnntlc seaboard at Halifax with the shores of the Pacific ocean at Port Simpson. It will be the most northerly railway line of importance on the continent, practically following for much of Its length the great divide separating the waters of the St. Law- ^ rence basin from those of Hudson bay. j Its purpose Is to open up to population, , trade and commerce vast areas of , wheat land, timber land and mines that are now valueless by renson of ] the lack of transportation facilities.

Doan'a Kid ney Pills cure all kidney ills, and are endorsed by Union citizens. W. B. Pitt, shoemaker on East Main ( street, residing on West Main street, says: ''My work is very hard on the hack, and it has been weak for years. On many occasions I could scarcely get up from my seat, and when I did vet up < I could scarcely straighten on account of the kinks and pain in my back. At night, I could scarcely rest in any position, the kidney secretions were very dark and full of sediment and very disagreeable^ odor. I tried any number of remedies, liniments of ail kirds and plasters for the kidneys, but never gut relief until I got Bonn's Kidney Pill- at the Holmes' Pharmacy. The very first ' dose benefitted me, and since taking i them, I have had no pain, my back is , stronger, and 1 can go to bed at night, sleep like a log, and get up in the morn- ' ing rested." 1 For sale by all dealers.
