overlooking Bay this Christmas morning there was only sorrow and anxiety The doctor looked grave while llio two women who obeyed his orders moved quickly and quietly A wornans life hung in the balance Downstairs In the large corn- fortable living room a man sat with his arms upon the table and his head bowed resting upon them The time scorned interminable How bo had loved her How proudly they both had anticipated the event which now seemed onl fraught with danger and death The cry of an infant sounded on the morning air reaching the ear of silent man in the sit ting room below lie started to his feet and walked toward the front window overlooking Hay He was a large rugged well built man with face unwashed and haggard from his long vigil He saw no thing of the beauty of the morn ing nor the scenery which had hitherto found a response in his Celtic nature The mountains were clothed snow those stern silent hills which rose in majestic grandeur the green of the spruce and fir intermingling with the panoply of snow so dazzling white in the sunshine he gazed but rfaw not The sound of the booming of the sea as it beat up on the rocks fell unheeded upon his ears How often his

See John Isnt liea darling John obeying saw a red atom of humanity at sight of which his pulses quickened With great cautiousness ho stretched out a light finger and placed it upon the little velvet

early childhood he had been taught of God and righteousness and he had seemed to listen His child ish questions were wonderful to them He was bright and cage to learn and they had rejoiced in all his successes Before they realized it he was approaching manhood and ere they knew had fallen into evil company among whom he learn ed to taste the glass which leads to ruin It was all carefully kept from his parents but there came a never- to be for got ton day when the cruel truth was forced upon them Jack and a companion had gone to a picnic As even ing drew on they saw the horse corning down the road the faithful animal made his own pace and carefully drew the bug gy along for in It unable to sit upright was Jack Words fail to express the sor row the anguish of his mothers heart when she went

had no notion to keep com pany with anyone who had so lit tle respect for her or himself If he preferred whiskey he could go Proud and angry smarting un der the sting of the truths she told him Jack went home an nouncing there his intention of going West His mother tried her utmost to dissuade him his father likewise set his face against it But all in vain He bade the aching breaking hearts in the old farmhouse farewell and set his face towards the land of the selling sun No one knew of the hitter tears shed by pretty Joyco in the se clusion of her own room nor of the remorse she endured lest she bad spoken loo harshly As time passed it was noticed that she had acquired greater sweetness of disposition and a more gravity of manner That was all Joyce kept her own counsel John Mcintosh
