She knew that the dogtooth violets were purpling by hundreds the marshy spaces back of the church. She felt safe as she toiled along. She felt fre. The graves companioned her all the way. One side of the winding road was thick with them.

Behind the palings, weather burned a warm grey color, the greyer stones rose up out of the curving young grass. They had a friendly attitude. "Eliza Carton, aged seveuty twP, she read out, in her thin. wcet voice. he lierseJf tumid rommt as many years; but slu had a feeling vas too young to die.

The moments passed. little "Is that you Mis' Holt?" A man and an elderly woman stood out in Church Lane. The scarlet worsted hood the woman wore brought arolor almost like that of August into the lolTnita tnrmir landscape, "Is that you, Mis' Holt!" related the old Juan 'Yes. it is father." said the woman "Vhv. Mis' Holt, how 'd you get back in these parts again?" fra iTi.H ulnwlv nnuroached her gate.

"I iust come a little while ago. I come in the stage." "Just on a visit, I guess," said the other. "No," said Mrs. Holt "no, no. I've come to stay.

She uaicneiL luem going homeward, two disiiuct figures under I he fading liougus, then turned and walked slowly toward her front door.

She unlocked it; the odor of long closed rooms reached her. She glanced about her ith an air of satisfaction. The floors wm as white as a I wo days' course of srrule liing could make them. The lii lie, Ihmss handles on Ihe cuplioard drawers still kept somewhat of their ancient polish. There, in that saee between the mantel and Ihe stairway, had lain in bis coffin.

It was only yesterday, and yet half a year had come and gone. She passed through Ihe first nxvu and into the kitchen, setting the yard door there wide open. She drew be dilapidated rocking chair out of its corner and sat down iu it. A step sounded on the brick walk without. "Is that you, Sabilla?" she called tremblingly.

"It's me, Mis' Holt." Old Mr. Ilar ton apieared in Ihe doorway. I've got some hot tea for you, Mary Ann, and a bowl of soup. Lizzie says she. don't want you to think you haven't any neighbors." "Set them things dow on the stove," said the old woman.

There's sugar aott butter most half a ham. and some Irreod in that bandlxx yonder. Well, you can hand me the tea; 1 guess I'll drink it now." The old man stood and looked down upon her as she sipped the savory liquid out of its tin kettle." "I guess you feel's if you had something to live for," be remarked at last.

Mie maue a strange picture us she toiled across to the churchyard shortly alter. i ne lights had ilied out everywhere, except in the sky. A pearly glimmer in the upiHT air caused the tall trees to look more illusive than ever. Mrs. Holt laid the lilac blooms dow upon a grave that seemed to make a deeper blackness near the church door Josiah had been a kind, but dense soul.

with no recognition whatever ot the more passionate material of which his wife was compounded. One whiff of his old pipe had lieen more to him than ull the green and growing things on the round e.irui. borne remembrance oi this passed mistily through the old woman's mind. She wondered if in that other world an added faculty now made him keen to see things to which be had once lieen blind. "1 gue.ss I'm giving him these be cause 1 so glad 1 in home again Josiah," she culled softly in the soft larkneiss "Josiah, you may have these instead ot your pipe.

"The idea of your running off just, like a child und. oil on account of a lot of old lilacs. I've a great mind to get an ax und chop them down!" "Oh, no, don't, Sabilla." There was downright agony in the appeal. "They're not worth an ax," proclaimed Sabilla Trench, ith a distinct sniff. "I never could see anything de cent about green things except it thev were good lo eat.

I guess I'm as smart at holding out as you. You needn't be afraid I'll break vour door in. The front steps are good enough for me. I'll just spt here and stare at them lilac bushes." She sat down, ierspiring and ronfi dent. A small and half scared fa appeared an instant overhead, then disappeared.

Presently the small liody to which it I elonged tontoed across the empty chamber and down stairs into the empty kitchen. The door was softly opened, there was a flurry of skirls, ana the old woman was hurry. ing along the path that led down to her kick gate, and the meadows beyond.

She went on again, her breath coining in gasiis.

Past the meadows and lievond the lane, that lay a winding strip of red colored earth just in sight, the church steeple thrust up out ol the Ann I liougbs. Once more Mrs. Holt looked back. She had left the houses behind her now; a strelch of solitary land lay liefore. She reached the fence that divided it from Church Lane.

The craves drew cl er and closer. Soon, she was among them and at the church door. It was haif open she made a sudden plunge inlo the dun, cool, dark ralted place and sank down upon one of the cushioned seats. Ibis was sanctuary, indeed. Outside lay Josiah in his last shunlier.

The recollection of this made her feel safer still, (iod and the dead would take rare of her. She settled herself more comfortably in the dusk, and leaned her head against the carved back of the pew.

Holt rose up and moved forward. Bareheaded, quivering a little, her hair falling loosened and grey ulxmt her shoulders, she stood before him.

He waited until thrv were Uith out of the church, und then broke forth gar rulously "1 saw Mis' Trench coming this morn ing. and 1 saw you leave the bouse; anil i watched, and you come here.

"She didn't she didn't cut down them lilac bushes, did she?" quaked Mrs. Holt. He shook his head.

"Sabilla'll keep her word," said she. "Well, I'll have to do all the visiting." A few feet away a mass of dogtooth violets was blossoming. A light leaped up in her eyes. She pointed toward them. "Just look 1" she said, almost reverently.

"They are pretty," said Mr. Barton. used to think a great ileal of them, too. She's lieen gone a year." "And Josiah's been gone just six months." The two old people gazed at each other with a. sudden tenia of kinship.

I nrusu lie loin llair llree.l Hulil 'lave I. 1 hui iI Ibr t.allow lie Sulil Uc Would ItKe timlll. The Detroit Free Prejss publishes the follow iug story W. J. White, who recenlly made a tour of the North west provinces as a representative of the Interior Department of the Canadian Government, tells an interesting story concerning Louis ItieL the leader of the reliellioa that made such a serious disturbance in the North west some years ago, am for which he was hanged by theBritisl Government as a traitor.

Kiel, it may be remembered, was executed on a scaffold at tho Government liarracks, Uegina. N.W.T. Just before the drop fell the condemned man, who was a religious fanatic, declared In a solemn voice, plainly heard by all who wit nessed the execution: "In three days, brethren, I shall rise again." After tho hanging the body was teniiorarLly burled near Heglna. but through the intervention of Archbishop Tache, permission was granted to have the remains removed to St. Boniface cemetery, near Winnipeg, where Riel had expressed preference to lie buried.

The reason he was not first interred there was a fear on the part of the Government that such ac tion ould hi art a. oouulir uprising us Riel was considered to have died a urtvr bv the vast French and ha.r breed noiiulution of the territory, ard it was lielieved that a public funeral would mean a demonstration with vio ence and possibly bloodshed, to it was agreed lietweeu the lioverniiieiic ami tho archbishop to biuy the body loin norarilv at ltegina and remove il se cretly after the excitement had suIh sided TO ST. BONIFACE. The second day after the execution tho Ikx containing the body as disinterred and placed in a lx car on the siding near Kegina. The utmost secrecy was olwerved.

Besides the archbishop and sev, eral churchmen, the only iierson pre sent was James Egan, superintendent of that portion of the Cuuudian I'ucifio llai.wuy. I'nknown, however, to the railroad officials, friends of Kiel had secreted a brother of the dead man in the car with the bodv. the idea being that in case Riel came to life, as all his friends firmly lielieved he would, some one would lie near to minister to his wants and to spirit him eiway where the Government could not again capture him.

This brother, by the way, was almost an exact picture of the dead man: so alike did they look that friends often mistook the one for the other in the days PRECEDING THE RKBELLION. It was on the third day, the day and hour on which Kiel had predicted he would rise again, that the lonely fu neraL car, drawn by a switcn engine, lumbered slow ly across the long bridge just outside innipeg, this round about ann roach to St. Boniface hav ing been selected lo secure the great est secrecy. the train drew up to the gate of the cemetery, and Pat iaraey, of tho Canadian Pacific at Winnipeg, himself a devout Catho lic, and a tieliever in Kiel propnecy to come to life, with faltering step ap proached the door ot the car. itn muttered nravers and trembling fin gers he unfastened the wire holding the door of the car.

Then, with another fervent prayer, he slowly slid the door back, and the next minute jumped back with a cry of fright and ran away, his yells of terror arousing the entire neightiorhoo.l while his shrieks, "It's Kiel! It's Riel I My God. Kiel has come to life again were heard, by ine ASTOUNDED BYSTANDERS All peered fearfully into the car through the half open door, and for an instant it seemed as if the miracle had already come to pass, for there, half concealed by the darkness of the car interior, stoo the exact count part of Riel, the fanatio that had len hanged three days since. By some strange coincidence the seeming appari tion appeared at identically tho hour he was hanged. With the exception of Archbishop Tache, the few people present as wit nesses to the tiurial ot Kiel in sacre.l ground turned and were aliout to follow Farley, whose frenzied shouis could still lie heard echoing in the distance, but a word of command from the archbishon stooped them. "Hlil mv gi.od friends," ho called out.

"Do not. lie frightened. It is only his brother." And sure enough, so it. proved. When I'arley opened the car door the brother had lepM to Ihe opening and in the pxcitnuient ol the moment and intensified by tho superstitious fears ol must ot those present that Kiel's prophecy would cou.o true, they bad mistaken the living brother as the dead LEADER OF THE HF.HKLLIOX.

"The story," continued Mr. White, "soon spread, and it created a rumor, which the Government was put to some expense to disprove, that If was indeed a.lve and at large. It was said that through some collusion with the hangman ut Kegina Riel escaped death on the gal'lows and that the coffin with the supposed body, buried there and afterwards secret removed to St. Boniface contained only a lot of stones. The rumor was that it was indeed Riel who so frightened Farley and the others, but that to divert the Government, the story was fabricated, as told alwve, of Kiel's brother being mistaken for the tlead man.

While the Government am hortative! denied the rumour of Kiel's rejiorted marvellous escape from the gaililows, it is a fact that his lioily was never located, and it is not known definitely, excepting Irhas, to a few friends, where his remains really are interred, while there are some in the provinces who lielieve Riel is still alive ami secretly fomenting another reliellion."
