All at once tho Unlit In tho voitrywas nxtlngttlshed. and tho minister, aman about fifty years ot age, appearedoti the threshold, wrapped In a heavywinter cloak and carrying a thickstaff.

"Look up, Solomon, my man." hosaid.

Solomon obe)cd. turning tho key Inthe Inner door, and then that of thoouter one of solid oak, whllo tho mln-I- f

ter stood waiting on tho path. Thentho two. side by side, and with muchtho muno kind of mechanical trot,

(panned noross the churchyard, pausingnow nnd again to struggle with thoflorco gusts, and to hold on their head-(ge- ar

tho nexton his Sunday "bonnet,"and the minister his broiid-brlmmc- dclerical hat.

Reaching tho Iron gate which wasrattllng ntTd creaking In the wind, thoy(descended throe moss-grow- n steps, nnd.reached tho hlghwr-y- . Hero all waspitch dark, far tho shadow of tall yow-'tre-

fell from tho other side, deepen-.lin- gthe nocturnal blacknoss; but.

crossing tho road, thoy oponod another,gato. crossed the garden whoro tho(yew-tre- grow, nnd reached tho door

f tho manse.Standing hero In completo shelter,

they heard tho "sough" of tho blastoverhead among the tossing boughs,(like the wild thunder of n stormy son.

The manso was a plain two-stor- ybuilding, as old as the times of tho

(Covenant and containing numberlesscheorloes chambers, the majority ofwhich were unfurnished. Horo theHovorcnd Sampson Lorraine hadtlwolt In solitude foryears. Ho had come to tho placo asa shy young bachelor, a student, nnd

. a bookworm; and despite nil the a I egosthat had boon laid to his heart, as wasInevitable In a place whore marriage-able men were few and spinsters many,a barholnr lie had remained over since.1'coplo said that a lovo disappointmentHi oarly life hnd mado him thereafterInvulnerable to nil tho chrirm of wom-en, but nt (Irst his single conditionmode him very popular. Presently,however, as his position as a Imolielorgrew mora continued, uud his eeeeutrl-citie- s

Increased, he ceased to awakenmuch Interest.

Opening the door with n lateli-lie- y.In entered a bare lobby, and strikingu light, led the way Into a large roomon the ground Hour. It was scantilyfurnished with an old carpet, an old- -fashioned circular table with drawer,and several elm Irs; but on the wallswere numerous shelves, covered withlmoke. The room had two large win-dows looking on the back lawn whlohsloped down to the river, but whs with-out curtains of any kind.

A Are burned on the hearth, and aruilv box of peat fuel stood by theflieslde. Our side of the table waspritd with a clean eloth, on which

stood a tray with bread, oatcake,i heeee, and butter, and a large stonewater-Ju- a Muck-bottl- e, and someglasses.

"Sit f down. Salomon," said theminister, placing a llghtati eaudle ohtho table.

tfoloituiii mood, Jint In hand, ltverySunday ewuing for many a long yearhe had entered the haute In the, samewh, at the tame hour, and veifejTtsIthe same Invitation.

Seen In the dim light of the room,i he sexton was a little wizened, white-hair- ed

man, with hoary, bushy cyu-i.ro-keen gray eyes, and sunken,

tanned elieeka. He was d'eeeod In de-cant bluek. with a white shirt, and thekind ot collar known In Scotland as

stlck-ops.- " The minister, on theother hand, was tall and somewhatportly, with a round, boyish fare, gentie blue eye, and mild, good-humore-

ituoutb. His hair v. as wAft at sw,an! fell almost to hif sfruHsltis.

"IU J9 down, alt ya ,'' a r

PRESS ASSOCIATION,prated: "and take a glass the nightIs cold.''

Solomon placed his bonnet onrofullyon the edge ot the table, and seatedhimself respectfully on nno of thoceno-botlom- chairs. Then, leisurelynnd solemnly, he poured out a glass ofraw spirit. Meantlmo air. .Lorraine,having divested himself ot his cloaknnd hat, sat down In the arm-cha- ir bytho fireside.

"Here's fortune, sir," said Solomon,drinking off tho whisky; then, wipinghis mouth with his sleovo, ho sat bolt-uprig- ht

nnd oxpeotnnt, waiting to seeIf his superior had anything nioro tosay. Mifa as the minister romnlncdclient, Sermon rose to go,

"Are o mlndln' the funeral thomornt" the soxtnn asked, taking uphis bonnot.

Mr Lorrnlno nodded."Can I bring yo anything before I

gang to bed? I maun rise at five tofcenlsh the grave."

"No; go to bed. I shall alt up androad n little."

"Wool, good-nlgh- t, sir.""(lood-nlgh- t, Solomon."Thereupon Solomon left tho room,

closing the door softly behind htm.Lighting a candle In tho lobby, homade his way quietly to a chamber Intho upper part of tho hoiiso, whereho slept, and which was, Indeed, theonly chnmbor In the manso, oxceptlngthe minister's sitting-roo- and adjoin-ing bedroom, which contained any fur-niture.

Many years before Solomon hndtaken up his abado thore, on tho min-ister's Invitation, nnd It was his onlyhrmo. Hostdos performing the dutiesof sexton and clerk, ho acted generallyus factotum to Mr. Lorraine, attendedto tho garden, aud groomed the ponyon which the minister mado his vlslta-tlcu- s

about tho country. An agedwoman, Myslo Slutpson. cumn In everyday to clean and cook, but Invariablyretired to her awn dwelling at night-fall. So tho two old men were prac-tically nlono togcthor, and despite thodifference In tholr social positions, re-garded each other with a peculiar at-tachment.

Tho minister sat for some time mus-ing, then with a sigh he took n bookfrom tho shelves anil boguu to read.It was n volume of old sermons, writ-ten by n south-countr- y clergyman,Impassioned, wrathful, nnd In the imrrow sense Calvlnlstlc. As ho read, thewind roared round tho house, nndmoaned In tho chimneys, nnd rattledtlio ahuttorlcss windows; but as thowind rose tho darkness decreased, andthe vitreous rnys of tho moon beganplaying on the window panes.

Mr. Lorrnlno III his pipe tho onlyluxury In which Im Indulged; fordespite his plump figure, which he Inhorlted, he was. abstemious and a teetntnlor. Thon, with another sigh, horose and wnlkod thoughtfully up nnddown tho roam; paused at one of thewindows, and looked down tho moon-lighted lawn whloh sloped to the river-side; talking all tho time to himself,ns was his confirmed h.iblt.

"Ay. ay. a wild night! and snowcoming. Solomon says! Iterlt. eerie.Is the sough of the wind In the trees.It minds me ever of her, and when themoon's up It is like the shining of herfane out of the grave, wee Msrjorio!my bonny duo! Thirty long yeara agoshe diet), and I'm still here! stillhere!"

Team stood In the old man's eyesas he looked out lit a drwttu. Throughthe long years of lnnellnew and poverty for his living was Indeed a poorone lie had cherished the memory ofone who had gone away from him toQod when only In her eighteenth year.

Suddenly, there came a loud singleKnock at the front door.

The minister started, listening, andthe same moment a gust of unusualforce shook the house to Its foundstloii.

"Illees me. what's that?'' he exclaimed. "I thought I heard a knock at thehull door, but maybe my ears dic-lve- dme. It was ttttly the wind. Ira thinking."

And he placed big precious reliesback In the drawer, looking It carefullyand placing toe key In a worn leatherpuree wlileli he enrrlwl In Ills pocket.

At that moment the knook was re-peated.

"Dear me!" he erled, "there1 gomeone hnoeklng after all. Muybe It's asick call."

Lifting the candle from the table, hetrotted from the room, arotsod alongthe Jobby. and opened the hall doorAs he did so the wind sprang In likea Ugjtf. ?M the light wus blown out.but mh frMU garden was Hooded withmeMtttat under the ery shadow

; of Um trees.

He saw nobody, howeveri whoeverhad knocked had disappeared,

"Who's thcret" he cried, lookinground on every side.

There was no reply.I'erplexed and somewhat startled, ho

stepped out Into tho porch, and In-stantaneously the door was bangedand closed behind him. He took an-other step forward, and almost stum-bled ovor something like n dark bun-dle ot clothing lying on tho doorstep.

"llless my soul!" he murmured,"what's thlsT"

At tho same moment a faint orycamn upon his car. Stooping down Ingreat agitation, ho lifted the bundleand discovered to his consternationthat It contained tho form ot a livingchild.

C1IAPTKK II.0 0 A It BU PaUleyahawl was wraptround tho Infant,covering all but aportion of its tinyfare. As It lay llkoa mummy In Itswrappings. It con-tinued to cry loud-ly, nnd tho crywont at onco to thom I n Ister's tender

hoart.Hut In a moment the old man guosi-c- d

tho truth that tho hapless crea-ture had been loft thore by some onewho had knooked and fled. Still hold-ing the child in his arms, he ran outIn the garden nnd looked on everyside.

"Come back!" ho sold; 'whoever youare, come back!"

Hut no one responded. The windmoaned dismally in tho tree thatlifted their black branches overhead,that was all. Ho ran to the gate andlooked up nnd down tho road, butcould seo nobody. As he stood In per-plexity the child cried ngalu loudly,and struggled In his arms.

"Illoss mo!" he murmured. "I musttnke It In, or it will die of cold!"

Ho ran back to tho door and knockedloudly again and again. It was xomotluio before ho was heard. At last,howovor. he lenrd footsteps comingnlong tho passugo, and redoubled hisknocking. Tho door opened, nndSolomon Muoklelmcklt. half dro3se"d,npppcarcd an the threshold. Withouta word tho minister ran Into tho lobby,

"Losli mo, meonlster. is It youraol'"ejaculated Solomon, In amazement. "Ithought you wore In bed."

"Como this woy quick!" shoutedMr. Lorraine. "Ilrlng a light!"

And still carrying his burden, heran Into the sitting-roo- Solomonclosed tho door, struck a match, andlighted a candle, mid followed him Immedlatoly. Then his amazement deopenod. To see Mr. Ixirralne standingby the (Irosldo with a crying Infant InMs arms was Indeed enough to awakenperplexity nnd wonder.

"My connoloi.ee, moonlstor, what haeyo gotten thoroT"

"A child! Soma ono loft It In theporch, knocked, nnd ran away, nun.!Solomon, search up and down tho road,nml soo It you can II ml thorn. Blmmeupon them, whoever they arc. Don'tstand storing, but run."

Perfectly liewlldored, Solomon stoodgaping; then with ono harror-slrioku- rilook at tho Infant, left tho room, andrun from the house.

Left alone with the ehlld, tho min-ister seemed puzzled what to do. Hoheld It awkwardly, and Its orles con-tinued; then, to still It. ho rooked Itto and fro In his arms.

Finding It still troublesome, hoplaced It down In the arm-chai- r, andsoftly loosened tho shawl In whloh Itwas wrapt, freeing Its little arms.

Its crlM aeased for n time, nnd Itlay with oyee wide open, sproadlng Itslittle hands In the wnrm twilight.

The minister put nu his glasses andlooked at It with solemn curiosity.

It was a tiny Infant, about twomonths old; IU llttlo pink faeo wniplnehed with cold, ami its great blueeyes dim with crying. A eoiiinionlinen oap whs on Its head, and Itgown was of eoarae linen. Hut it wasto small, to pretty, that the minister'stender heart melted over It nt ogee.He offered It hi forvAngor, which Itgripped with Us Uuy hands, blinkingup Into hit face.

"Poor wee mite!" he murmured, "Iwonder who your mother Is? A wick-ed woman, rm thinking, to oust yoiiuway on such a night at this!"

As if In answer to his worta. thechild began to cry again.

"I can see iwebody." erled Solomon,the room: "I hae search it

up and doon. as far totitnvnya ns MytiaSlrapeon's i!jor, nnd bayunt to thewaterside, and Uiere'a Imiji stirring.It's awfu' strange!"

He looked at the olilld, andscratched his heads he looked at thominister, and nodded It ominously. Acurious oonjeeture, too Irreverent forutteraure. had passed aerosti his nat-urally suspicious mind. ,

of customs of Alaska, who Is atpresent nt Hksguay. three miles belowhere. The Skaguay trail is tho mostlargely used overland route (thoughby no means the best), to tho Klon-dike. Mr. Ivey Informs me that thereare now between tidewater and thoInko something like 4000 peoplo andabout 2000 horsmt. The commander otone of the vessels now nt Skaguaystates that sixteen vessels aro charter-ed to Innd cargoes at that place be-tween now and September IS and thattho number ot passengers will aver-age 200 to each vessel, making 3200more people who will attempt to go Inthis fall.

"I have talked with some of themost experienced trailers and minorsIn this vicinity and they are unani-mous In the prediction that not ovor20 per cent of this vast number willget tliroiiRh to Dawson bofore wlntorsets In. The other 80 per cent will becaught on the trail and tboso who sur-vive end get back to tldowater willhave to winter In Hkagusy or returnsoma. If the rush continues for twoweeks longer hundreds will Inevitablyperish on the trail, which Is extremelydangerous after October 1.

difficult to suggest a way to stop thisInrush ot people, but Mr. Ivey Inti-

Inever knew whero he cnmfl from, nordid I ever see- - him until I looked upsuddonly nnd found him bosldo me.Another peculiar fact was that ho al-ways carried an odd Instrument,similar to n harp, and wo would sit aidel side for hours, ho playing, t. listen-ing entranced, until suddenly the mu-sic would cease nnd l would look upto find the player gone. Then 1 wouldgo Into the hotlso and play the musicover again on tho plnno. This wont onfor years and people considered moquoer.' If not qulto eraxy.

Paul Flicher was n spirit nnd was thoante llttlo boy with whom l had been

acquainted In my childhood. I wastold iilso mat ho was born In Alsace-Lorrai- ne

and had never been outsidet of his own country. I treasured the

portrait 1 had obtained. It had a greatfascination for me, but so mush occupied my thoughts that I had notime, as a rule, to think much of thooriginal Six years passed by andfound It necessary to go to a Strangcity. I reached tho town early In themorning and, hunting up a boardinghouse at onre, I settled down foruood rest before eomrnenelng the bustnew which had brought me to theiitare.

t "Aa I was going to dinner that nightI came face to race, in the hall, with

' Paul. 1 tftarted and so did he. Thenwith, 'I beg your pardon madam.' howood aside to allow me ta paw. I wastoo much disturbed to bo able to eainuoli, and I felt his eyes were watchlng mo all tho time, so I soon left thetable.

"In the evening Mrs. Porter, thewoman at whose house I wns staying,(mocked at my door and asked mo tocome Into the parlor. I hesitated, butwt-u- t and was Introduced to 'Paul

On our wpddlng dny Paulbrought out a portfolio and naked meto look through It and toll him what1 thought of his drawings. Tho firstsheet I picked up showed n portrait ofmysolf. I was represented silting at atable sketching n man's hoad, and the'date was tho same on which I haddone my first nnd only drawing sixyears before, llut Paul must ten youthe rest."

Whon I was a little boy. In theold country (I was born In Alsace-Lo- rraine), people regarded me us Doingvery peculiar. I would wander on

by myself for hours where no onecould find me, carrying ry harp along,

nd when I returned I would havo npicture In my mind of n little, brown-eye- d,

brown-haire- d girl, who listenedto my mtlslc nnd reproduced every-thing which I played upon an Instru-ment different from any 1 had overseen. I know now It was a piano, nuithon 1 hnd no knowledge cnnoernlngIt. Sometimes I would hare longfainting spells, nnd while I wns tin- -conscious would babble away aboutthe llttlo maid who oottld not understand what I said, because sho talked adlffcreut lnngungo from my own.Finally It began to bo whispered aboutthat 1 wns possessed of n devil and my,father wns forced to solid mn nway inoruer to prottet mo.

Tho longer I talliedwith her tho more convinced I beenmothat sho wns tho ono woman In nil theworld whom I could love. I was curious to find out whether she hnd anyconception of tho peeullar circumstances which drew mo to nor and Iquestioned her adroitly In regard tothe matter.

'Thon, she, who hnd puzzled herlenr llttlo head In vain over tho mnt- -tor, told mo nil her exporlonce andwhen wo comparod notes wo deridedHint, ns henvun had meant us for oarhother from the boglnnlng, there wns noreason why we should wait for ourhappiness.

Hailing- - I'ratne. Still In tfta.Plaiting whole skirts and bodleos

has been highly fashionable for sometime and It Is still done on fine newdresses. Indeed, this revival of plait-ing has been confined to rathe. expen-sive drosses from the start. It cer-tainly Is not an economical method ofemploying any sort ot goods. In thedress shown here, which was salmonpltfk silk veiled with blaek crepe dochine, both skirt and bodice weroplaited. The top of the skirt was dec-orated with Russian laeo that formedpoints In baek and front, nnd similartrimming appeared ou the bodice, thepoints, however, turning upward. Thosimple collar and belt were black sur-ah, and draped laee epaulettes cappedthe mousquetalre sleeves.
