There are mingling sceuta of pine, of flr, of cedar, or wank, moiat-laden earth where tb« sun has been so flnely alfted by the leevea as scarcely to panerijte at all; to be dissipated in plan .â-  by the closely woven screen of . the !i-.ify sieve, to become Intangible, ' lnvlB.b:o; yet entirely palpuble at noon { of a c't ar day, when the forest Is tnore | green than dark, with an immutable,! eternal greenness. j The lilttDg fragrance of the earth ! that delights the senses Is the frnnk- , incense and mj-rrh of a Northwestern forest, the fine flower of a summer day , amid vast trees that stretch tall spind- , ly summits from thick brownish col- 1 umns towards the fleeting clouds. ! There la scarcely a bloom, merely | leaves, of every Kbape and style, yet the air Is redolent of earthy scents, of lingering treasure of faint wood per- fume unrppressed and undistllled. Green leaves are fluttering on the trees; brown leaf mould and the flla- gree of leaves, lacy outlines, are on the ground. Little pools of sun: little ponds of shadow. Everywhere beyond the swirling breeze that scampers the ripples along the beach and the wayward leaves of the short, there is a majestic stillness, the silence of growing trees under a western flrniament, that is lighted by a sun that only penetrates faintly a portion of the anug woodland.

A graceful act to a great memory has Just been carried out under Dritlsh auspices at UJiJI, In Tanganyika Terri- tory, Africa. Here it was that fifty-four years ago H. M. Stanley found the great explorer, Livingstone, who had roached the place in a state of great exhaustion after Ave years' travelling in "the Dark Continent." Llvmgstone had then been lost to sight for months. Stanley's laconic greeting, "Dr. Llv- ingstonc, I presume," when he finally met Livingstone face to face In the far-off African vlllagn, has gone down to history. This meeting took place under a mango tree, where the fired Living- stone was resting, and around the tree the Hrltlah administrative ofllcer In charge of the district has now place(^ u simple rail and stone fence to pre- serve it aud to commemorate the event.

Across the long music-gallery â€" across the patch of bright moonlight â€" ! she thought she saw the slender out- 1 line of a woman's figure; a woman in a loose gray robe of some thin, soft | material; a woman who walked with her white hands before her face as if , to hide it in shame or sorrow. It was but for a second that Mary i saw it, and then it had gone â€" melted i away into the oaken walls. And then the icy hand and chain of fear that had held her a prisoner seemed to release its hold, and she ran â€"ran screaming sobbingly across the rrom. David had left her â€" she was shut in here alone, forever. She would have to die in this empty, silent room, with only the gray ghosts for com- pany. CHAPTER XXXVIII. david'.s suggestion. "David!

It waa a letter with the Argentine atamp, addre.sted in DoIIy'a handwriting. f CHAPTER XXXIX. I DOLLY'S LETTER. ' Miss Vamey was not very discern- ing.

She kissed her aff^ptionately, and went on with her eternal knitting, quite unconscious of the tragedy in I Mary's heart aa ihe sat down on th* bed behind her lock«d door, with Dolly's letter clutched in her hand. I In th* last few days she had for- I gotten all about Dolly. Her old life I s<:emed to have slipped away from her i to utterly since she came to the Red Grange; and now, like a menacing voice from the past; came this letter from acrosfi the sea. She felt a curious repugnanc* In opening the envelop*, but she forced herself to do it, and slowly drew out the many sheets. Dolly began: Dearest Mary â€" and the writing w*« ve;y scribbled and blurred, as if sW had written in a great hurry â€" I haven't written to you for some time because we have been in such fearful trouble. Oh, Mary, it seems as if my luck will never change; just when I was so happy, tool Robert has had a bad accident, and they say that he will never walk again. We haven't a shilling in the world except what he had saved, and that won't keep us for more than a few weeks. So I am going to write to David Bretherton. After all, I have some claim on him, and he was always stingy with us even when Nigel wa:- alive, and he has so much money him- self. He can't refuse to help me a little â€" even a hundred a year would l)e better than nothiivg. I don't know if he has found out that I am married again, and I don't very much care. I always loved Rob- ert, and I still love him, though I sup- pose he will be an invalid all his life. I am sending this letter to the old address, and hope it will find you. Write to me as soon as you can, and say what you think about my chances with D. B. Have you ."sesn him? I haven't heard from you at all since I left England. If you sold our furniture and things, you might let me have the money for them after all, as I really am most fearfully hard-up ; and it's terrible being out here amongst strangers, though they have been very kind to us through all this trouble. Write to me, Mary. Whatever has happened to you all this long time? Your poor unhappy Dolly. Mary let the letter flutter to the floor. Her chief feeling at the moment was indignation.
