No. 13 FERNIE, B. CM October 30th, 1909 $1.00 a Year I I Hilliard Hotel and Opera House Consumed—No Loss of Life . KMN0RA, Out., Oct. 28—The Hilliard hotel with the opera house adjoin inging caught fire about 11.30 last night and is now a heap' of ruins, tho structure being almost entirely'gutted despite1 the,efforts of tho fire brigade. , Louis Hilliard is tlie proprietor, having built the hotel in 1898 on the site of the old Hilliard hotel which, was burned to the ground In the spring of that year. It is thought that the fire broke out through the 'scenery on the opera house 'stage* becoming ignited. A vaudeville company gave ■ a "* performance - here tonight and about > 7 -**" three quarters of an. hour' after the conclusion of the performance ■ the fire *was discovered. There was a high wind, blowing from the, south, and fanned by this the flames quickly spread until the fire practically enveloped the whole structure. The loss will be total although It is understood that it is mostly ,cov- , ered by insurance. The Hilliard hotel was one bf the best and most mo- dern in town, and was situated in the centre. ■ The opera house annex was erected at considerable cost and it capable of* seating about- six hundred , people. A large quantity, of the be longings ofthe hotel were saved. FATALITY AT REGINA TO THE WORKERS Fernie Oct.' 29 1909 Fellow Workers:: The Fernie Electoral Riding ' has been for the past eight years a strenuously contested sent?' At the provincial Election the workers lost the seat, by some GO votes through the Liberals deserting their; own 'candidate at tlie eleventh hour ancl supporting the present member. The Fornie Free Press, the organ of the Conservatives is at present emitting frantic..squeals of the most pitiful character for the Liberals'' to again come to the rescue of distressed capital. It, is admitted that the seat must fall to the' workers. The (-capitalists will combine forces to prevent a con- o.nnination so undesirable to them. They have money .without end; wp lack that'essential weapon to success; We therefore ask all workers who can afford to do so to send iheir contributions, however small, to Oscar Ertck- son. Box -70, Penile H. C.

Spidell conducted the services both morning and evening at the Baptist church on Sunday, delivering two splendid discourses. At the conclusion of the evening service a meeting of the members was held at which a unanimous call was extended to Mr. Spidell to permanently settle in Fgrnie as the pastor of the church. In' the short lime that Mr. Spidell has been in the city he has seen vividly the urgent need for men in his work, and tho possibilities of Fernie Miave appealed to him in a particularly strong manner. The outcome of the meeting was that the call was accepted. Mr. Spidell left for the East early ^in the week, to'make preparations for"moving his family west before the advent of the winter months. Seldom have pastor and "people come into such pleasant relationships on such short acquaintance, and the membership of the Baptist church are gathering their forces for aggressive work. Mr. Spidell understands western life and ways perhaps better than any other man •■ who could have been chosen. Born in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, in 1866, he spent his early days in that land, com-, ing to British Columbia, in 1888, where for four years he followed with' considerable success the calling of timber cruiser and mining prospector. Even at that time he had his mind on the ministry,'to which he always felt called, and in spite of alluring prospects, he left in 1892 to study for his life's work. He entered the Woodstock College at/Woodstock, Out:, in 1892, completing his course there in the year 1890. Following up his studfes, he entered, in 1896 Newton Theological *Seminar>Tat~Bostoni-Mass.,-hi-whlch. institution he remained until the year 1900. He was. finally ordained into the ministry in 1900. His first pastorate was in West Townsend, Mass., from * which he turned to his 'native land, taking up the work at Boston, Out,, and' later at Ailsa Craig, Ont., in all of which fields he has met. with deserved success. Mr. and Mrs. Spidell and their little daughter of three yeai-s can be assured of a warm welcome in Baptist circles in Fernie, and the Ledger joins In congratulating the denomination in this city upon such a happy choice as pastor as has fallen to their lot.

Lockhart was honorably acquitted of tho chargo of theft of rollof funds on which ho appeared at Nolson lust week. * Tho jury considered tho ovidoneo so ridiculous tlmt they did not even havo to rotiro beforo their verdict of acquittal was arrived at. Tho caso aroused considerable excitement all over tho country and groat intorcst was centred In the verdict.

V. li, in Winnipeg Voice:). It seems strange that so Importune an event us the recent murder of Professor Francisco Ferrer by. the misguided govornment that holds sway in Spain should be allowed to puss almost unnoticed iu the press of this country. Such an event, should, have callod forth world wide condemnation upon the heads of those responsible for so gross an outrage. Had it been the execution of tlie least notable among capitalists, what columns of indignant protest would come from the press. I3ut Ferrer is different. He is only a crank, .lust one of those foolish hated persons, who work their very lives out for the moral uplift and Intellectual enlightenment of tho masses. Hy'pursuing this noble course Ferrer has rendered himself objectionable to the ruling class' in that country. So his work must be suppressed. Aye and he*,hiinself, must be wiped out if the powers of bigotry and religious hatred backed by ill gotten money and political intrigue can accomplish it,. Francisco Ferrer al the time of his death was forty-nine years of age and a native of the province of Barcelona. Spain. In th'e - year 1SSC he was occupying the position of superintendent on one of* the linos of Spanish railway and had to, seek refuge in France owing to the abortive attempt on" the Republican General, Villacampa, that rendered the residence of persons in Spain holding advanced political views unsafe. During this period of political exil£ he lived in Paris as the friend and secretary df a former prime minister and party chier of the Spanish Republicans,, - At* the "death of his _frJeiid_l_.eiiii_!_J_s_ame_iU__p_.ot_isso_iLj)f, Spanish language and literature at the Philotechnic association at Paris. ,It was about this time that be' thrttw o\cr his old belief in the utility of armed force in revolutionary work, and turned all- his energy and atto.n- <*on to the establishment of a n hool to form a model for the institutions already started by tho Radical, Rational and Progressive parties In Spain. At this time also one.of Ills pupils, Mademoiselle Mounter became anxious to convert her professor to Catholicism. In the.ensuing discussions' however, sho herself 'found salvation In the Rationalism of her friend, Heing without relatives she bequeathed to Ferrer some house property In Purls, producing an annual rental of some llfi.iiOO francs for the purpose of providing hi in with the necessary funds in carry out. his educational plans In his native country. To tho faithful dlschaige, of this trust his lunmnlnblc death will over bear lesllniony, The commencement of work based upon the principles formulated by Ferrer was mnile in Augusl, 1001, The school opened wllh'110 scholars—12 girls and JS boys--and by tho termination of Mm school year this number had boom increased to 70 A prlnllng house was oslnbllHlieil, ond primers and text books wrltlon, In simple Inn- gunge woro printed and found a ready accoplance in mnny m-lionlt- throughout.

He wnn hell! a primmer j pealing Iim-lf?" broke out—one of those.un-Christian conflicts which will always be possible until the capitalist class as a dominating powor ceases to exist., The course of this unjust conflict is current news; not yet has Spain found a way out of a war of injustice aud of greed. The more enlightened Spaniards saw through the flimsy veil which covered the proceedings and protested against the unnecessary sacrifice of the poor peasants' lives, for the gratification of a greedy few. The feeling grew and the workers of the land banded themselves together to protest against the war, and to demand the cessation of hostilities. Angered because their rulers turned a deaf ear and ignored their just demands some of thei more venturesome resorted to acts of violence and revolutionary methods to attain theii" end. As a result martial law was declared and under tho slightest pretext all those who had stood' for enlighten- faient and advancement wore cast into prison. Amongst them was Ferrer. 'He had taught the people to see what were their social rights and duties; he had torn down the blinds of ignorance: he had taught, a simpler and a grander religion;- he had established schools throughout the land; ergo; he had been the chief instigator of the revolution.' He .must be tried, yes, and to tlm death. One hundred schools founded by'Ferrer have been closed. The excellent books published from the press of the ISscueUi "Moderna have been seized and tbe plant and machinery destroyed. Reports received state that Ihe prisons contain some nine or ten thousand prisoners ranging from mere children to old men and the land and people of--Spain, iire rendered subject'to the relentless hand of Uie successors of Ferdinand 11. and Thomas de Torquo- mada.

This was followed by a letter of the Bishop of Barcelona sent "in his own name and in I lie name of all the prelates of Catalonia, to the head of tlm government as a respectful protest on our part agalnsl the evils of Italy of July last and against the individuals who, as ,wo maintain are responsible therefor; that, is lo say, lho partisans of Godless schools, the radical press and the anarchist groups.'

War began. It was at a mass meeting arranged on behalf of the black man's cause at which Lincoln was to speak. The meeting was duly advertised but no man came besides Lincoln, his. law partner, Herndon and John Pain. Lin coin's speech consisted of these words "These are sad times and seem out of joint. All seems dead, dead!" This was in 1856, ..when Liiuolh hoped tho slavery question could be adjusted by, peaceable means. As late as 1859, in his fourth'debate with Douglas, Lincoln said "I do not suppose that in-the most peaceful way ultimate extinction would occur ir. less than a .hundred years at least.' That was, two years before the - Jivil War began aiid less * than, a de .ade before the Constitution was,amended lo make chattel slavery impossib.e.

I.presume that it is intended thereby, to defeat the labor party,'under what- ' ever name that party may travel. The Lib 3\ al party lias always claimed ide*-*. tificatlon with labor interests. Whilst somemay argue that this, claim is not clearly established yet one of the basic principles of Liberalism .is its support of the laboring class. Whatever views Liberals rpay take in regard to a third party It'is ex- -tremely" doubtful* If the time will ever come when a fusion such.as tlie Free Press speak of will take place. For, tlie .Liberals to come out and fight labor wojild be a serious blow to the first, principles of that party. The Liberals of Fernie may be numerically weak, but weak as they are I" shall bo much surprised if. they will crucify their hopes by joining the Conservatives In this orjn any other election to defeat a labor, candidate. ' • ,, Yours faithfully, L. P. ECKSTEIN -„ . SOCIALIST WRITES Editor Ledger: Dear Sir: The Fernie Free Press,of. last week informed its readers: "The gong has sounded" and the fight is on,' etc. .Under its editorial notes it says others things .which were received with thanks by, every member of the Socialist party of Fernie. Sure it is im*' portant to have, a government' representative in .Pernio. "Hardly Iv Liberal,' etc., is well, understood by the Socialist members... They are well satisfied that" Conservatism and Liberalism are identical,, hence their anxiety to have a member who will represent their interests, as well as the whole of the working class -in general, which is more than can truthfully be said of our present M. -P. "6 We are told to drop all personal feeling, petty jealousies, party .strife. 7 Now Mr. Free Press editor, the twov former we will leave out of the discussion, the.latter is the Alpha and Omega of our fight. If we leave that out too, Socialism would be- doomed. -The Socialists want their party represented, the Conservatives ditto. We agree" with the Free Press .lliat the election of a So; "ciailsr'"\vouid~b"e~a—"sevcref-blowf-but- we fail to see that it would retard the development of the district. The Socialist party represents the working class, ii-roersls,' una Hi'' v.-»i?.iiig class "is the backbone ot this or-nny other riding. Touching on the last phrase * of the said editorial notes, some men may,feci complimented if they are of- ' fered a drink or n. cheap*cigar, but if there is a spark of intelligence or reasonable tliinking power, no man will let that (excuse the term) bribe, rob hiiii of the vote, which is to his best interest; ,, „ Speaking of the provincial government's expendituijo.in this district, It would bo interesting to know tho exact nmount of Influence (hat* W. It. noss used to got that assistance. Was It not rather their ability to seo the necessity of that assistance through the .destructive fire. That is as it looks to * Yours Truly A SOCIALIST, Socialists,, the intellectual degenerate who holds the.reins of office in the sheet alluded to may be justly, regarded as an atavistic. reproduction , of Ananias graduated in geometrical progression since that marvellous, progenitors of falsehood passed, away. Were it not so he woiild realize. tha,t his strictures are inane as even the intelligent apologists for the'present system are reluctantly compelled tp acknowledge" the^force of, dally happenings in the Kaiser's realm. Last week's press contained the headlines "Saxony practically a Socialist province" and in the Daily News, October 25, Nelson B. C, page four is the following item: '"Cobourg,—The Socialists won another seat in the reichstag * * * iii this city, which had been regarded as a stronghold of the national'liberals." These repeated successes in face of gerrymandering1 and the' fulmlnatlons of Divine sRlght'Bill "such as "Vater- landlos" and other endearing epithets stupify the supporters of the bureaucratic regime*who are-at a loss what policy to pursue In order to down their bugbear Socialism. Crass ignorance is by no means incurable, but any attempt to poison the springs of truth should have the emphatic condemnation of all right thinking minds, and although we might liko to throw the 'mantle of charity over this inksltnging|Swage slave, yet the position he occupies prevents, and we call attention to the fact that his knowledge of conditions in other coun tries may be the result of ignorance hence unreliable, but not so .with what obtains on this continent, ' therefore we should put a brawl on lilm whereby vhe would be tabooed by every self respecting newspaper man. There are Socialist locals both ' iii Japan and Chill, in the former only recently one 'of lis journals was confiscated by ihe authorities. In the Argentine Republic there are Socialist locals at .Tunln, .Tuctunan, Bahia, and at other and smaller places, whilst in the city of Buenos Ayres besides five Socialist,locals, there are two publlcu*- tions "La Vanguardia" if Socialist daily "La Revlsta' Soclalista Internaclonal" a .monthly containing articles which for erudition and' cogency of reasoning compare with such English publlcat-, ions as "The.Fortnightly Review," the English Review, etc., also there Is a library kept up by the party and patronized by the working class, contain- ing 5000 volumes. Take the last two sentences and to anyone who is willing to make a fair and square investigation of Socialist philosophy, but one conclusion can be 'reached and that is'that this'is the jaundiced emanation of an intellect so sadly atrophied as to" verge upon a zero quantity, .'...'.„ Abuse is hot argument, 'tis true, but when yoffknow lnsHaWJpfeTiaTe-d* TALES PROM THE GOLDEN WEST YES We're Certainly* Thankful For Good Things Galore: -J For the Griefs We've been Spared, And for Joys by the Score: For Blessings Received Without Measure.

C. assumes the power to mortgage pos- terlty forever. Is it not a fundamental principle, in democratic government that the people can only be governed with the consent of the governed. If Mr. Ross wishes to earn eternal gratitude from his party, will lie kindly explain this: If Mr. Ross is conversant with history he will no doubt remember that upon the occasion, of William and Mary taking the throne, the .English parliament handed over the English crown, to them and their heirs forever, also, but if he continued his studies he would find that it did not work out. ' We, today, viewing these things,' think that political im- bicllity has reached its apex on that point; but in view ofthe situation in British Columbia, we are obliged to halt until we hear, further from Mr. Ross. -* ,r i With a paternal feeling Mr.* Ross expresses his sympathy for. the unlet ter-" ed0nien and boys in the coal camps; and assures us that he has supplicated the proper quarters for remedy, but that it needs HIM m parliament to insure the additions of the necessary machinery, to place this tremendous reform in motion. I wonder if •'Billy' ever read that before a snake swallows a victim it covers it with its saliva. He should" lieed the moral in Michel well, and cannot afford to do so when sick. This being so, it is dangerous to the mining element that he should "misrepresent" them In the next parliament, and for that and other reasons equally 'good he will be returned on the 25th of .November, not to'Victoria, but to political oblivion, from which he should never have emerged. The workingmen of Fernie riding will pay their, best respects to the Conservatives here, which in essence, is only an.amalgamation of barristers and of bartenders. ' Hoping I have not in* traded too far, upon your kindness,' I am, yours very truly, CHAS. GARNER' ,, Secretary Michel Miners' Union, meted out to the working man by the institution of a park or some such unnecessary expenditure. If you are to ignore the poorer grade, do so in matters that do not directly bear upon their";dire necessities. If nothing is done within the next few days to supply the Annex with water, either from stands erected temporarily along the line or from some other means which may be decided on, the question of seeking a government inquiry into the matter will be resorted to, as, I presume that is the only course open when a municipal body fails tb respond to the appeals of the people. I am sure,' if statistics were compiled to show the number of cases of* typhoid, if not all, directly the outcome of the water question, and the deaths thereby, one would readily see the gravity of the situation. \ The question of sanitation . too, is just as'important. We find that only certain houses in the Annext have the scavenger making his nightly call, while other places .still keep up the old style dump pits. Coming from the G. X. depot and turning to the left one immediately comes across a foul smelling cesspool, an undisputed habitation of the deadly germ of typhoid. These I understand are quite common in certain quarters of the Aunex., These should bo done away with at once. "In conclusion I would say that we are all aware-that diseases caused by bad " sanitation etc., are essentially contageous, and if it were only fo;* the, reason that the inhabitants of these low lying places have to intermix with the remainder of the citizens this should be sufficient to warrant a proper inspection and protection. - L hope the matter will receive the attention it deserves and that immediately.

The Free Press, on the eve of an election, is having ono of its periodical "Tory organ" seasons, when with the election fever running past normal in its,make-up, it proceeds to make a great stand for the Conservative party hoping thereby, to gain some few patronage crumbs which may be handed out to such hirelings. .'

The motive of the assassination was revenge. The assassin was arrested almost * immediately on his arrival here, and just as Prince Ito left the railroad car at the station the attack was made upon him.* The venerable statesman, accompanied by the Russian minister of finance, Mr. Kokov- soff, was starting to inspect the guard of honor drawn up along the platform when a pistol shot was heard. Several more shots were fired in (piick succession, the buliets striking the prince in the .back, and he fell where he stood mortally wounded. The assassin was promptly seized. On being1 questioned he said lie was a Korean. * "I came to Harbin for the sole purpose of assassinating Prince Ito to avenge my country,' the slayer told his captors. He also said he had a personal account to settle with the great Japanese statesman who during his stay in Korea had ordered the execution of several, persons closely connected with the assassin. »»»¥»¥»¥¥■¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥*¥»■¥¥»¥¥¥■» V¥¥V»»»¥»»V¥V¥»¥»¥¥V»»¥V»V $ ■ -•■*,- -'' >■ - . * _ - ■ *•>• •7* :■'^^■'■^^^^^■^^^^^^^■^^■•^'^"■■■■■^■^■■■•"■■'^^^^■"^■■'^"^'^"^■^■■■^b""" I Sunday SchOOl^Questions I #Tr On the Lesson by the Rev.

Who were the others that sailed with Paul? , ' AVhat results are likely to. follow, when a man of God is, compelled to be in the company of criminals? ' AVho was'this man Julius, and what probably induced him to treat the prisoner Paul with such leniency? is there any position in life, how-' ever undesirable, in which God does not give his children special comfort, even when in prison, and can you give some examples of this?* Julius gave Paul his freedom to visit his' friends when the ship touched at Sidon; would it have been honorable of Paul to have made his escape and not "to have returned to the ship, seeing he was an innocent man on parole? Can you tell, or point out on the map, where Sidon, Cyprus, Pamphylia, Myra and the other places .-here mentioned are situated? When the winds are against us, or we are becalmed on the voyage of life, •■ and making" but little headway, is it a hinderance or a help to the soul poised on God? - Arerses 9-11—Why is "the advice of a man of God, other things being equal, more to'be trusted than that of a non-believer? *,■'■• Did Paul give the advice for them not to proceed, but to winter at the "fair havens," from his human judg- men or from God's direction? AVhy • may, or may not, a true Christian always depend that the judgments he forms in the great crises of life' as well as in ordinary affairs, are really inspired of • God and can therefore be depended upon?

AVhy is it" that the courage and good cheer-of one man can save an entire crew from despondency and defeat?- May praying and fasting0 when you ought, to be eating and working, be as great a practical crime as scuttling the ship?

The'attraction was secured at great expense by Brandon Brothers as- the opening attraction of thei\** new opera house in Lethbridge, which is said to , ,be thei finest, theatre between.'-Winnipeg and Vancouver, and the company will play, only a few towns between Lethbridge and Spokane. - Fernie is fortunate lu being one *■ of these. It ,1s one of the recognized* metropolitan successes and'was" written especially for Miss Ethel Barrymore, and is the - play that made Miss Barrymore famous as* a star. With-it she.,had,-a remarkable run bf '350' nights In London and 300 nights in New York with most phenomenal success. Miss Jeanne „ Russell* who Is now starring in the piece, is the legitimate 'and worthy successor of Miss Barrymore, and is surrounded by a New York cast of quite exceptional ability. The play is a delightful English comedy with a beautiful and touching Story. The management have given it a scenic production superior to anything ever seen here and in order that no detail might> be marred they, are carrying their own orchestra, and their special musical programme is an extra fine feature of the 'evening. - P.

AT THE WINDOW OF PARADISE 00 VEAR8' EXPERIENCE J & lUNHftCw .*'»**-'• New York (By Ralph Hpry, Barbour in ",The Western Home''Monthly.)' - . They sat in a; third story window of Hollis. Her name was Grace; his was Hugh; they.had other names hut those don't' matter. They were cousins—in, a way; "the connection was difficult to trace offhand; he couldn't have done it nor she. Her mother would have explained at once, but at present she was conversing with his mother at the other window, and when two mothers get together on Class day evening they dislike being interrupted. The room belonged to Jack' and Billy. Billy was, Grace's brother. Both hosts had class day duties and ever since noon they had been coming and going with flowing gowns and i*ak- ishly tilted hats, very red'iof face and rather breathless, hut infinitely important, .Tack's mother said they made her so nervous she didn't think she could .last' out the dny. Just now they were absent and as a result the study was very quiet and peaceful The gas gets were turned down to mere pinpoints of yellow flame. Over by the door the cut glass bowl and tumblers caught the light in their facets' and glowed wanly. Grace sat on the window seat propped up with innumerable cushions. One bare'arm rested upon the sill, and the palm above it afforded a nestling placo for her chin. None had ever calledsGrace pretty; it would have been sacrilege. She was beautiful, with a beauty that embraced not only ideal regularity of feature, but life- and warmth as well; it was no wonder that the nian at her side' loved her; he* would have felt himself "disgraced if he hadn't. * ° Ho had loved her since he had been a first year student in the'law school and she had been a pink and laughing aiom of hjumanity in ridiculously long garments- that were forever getting in his*way any time he went to' take her in his arms. Just when his love had changed and -intensified—to—the— secrct-adoration-ot the present he 'could not have told; he believed it" was that never lo be forgotten, moment, when glancing idly into the ballroom of tho summer hotel he had, seen her swaying over the floor in Jack's'arms. He had-stolen away, into the darkness and counted bitterly the.,'years separating him and Jack. , Afterwards ho had steeled himself to see her,, surrounded at all times by suitors, realizing the4 hopelessness of his caso and doggedly repeating to himself, llko a litany of renunciation, that so long as sho was happy, thp rest didn't matteiy During three years ho had found lt necessary to repent It very often, sometimes without much conviction. Tonight, seated beside her breathing in tho ch'nrm of her presence and feasting" his oyos recklessly upon hor faco, tho, litany, had entirely lost all its'effectiveness. Bolow thom spread a paradise of soft, swaying lights and stirring and sighing branches, a fairyland'of joyous 'sound and changing colors. From their novlo thoy looked down upon thousands of many lined lanterns nil dipping and trembling In the broozo, whoso ranka crossed and recrosHod In beautiful goomotrlcnl proclslon, The nlr was filled with n goldon hazo Unit Hoftonod dislanl outlines and with tho laughter and chatter of many .voIcch mlnglod with tho strains of music. "CIiihb Day whh rathor dlfforont lu my tlmo," tho mnn was saying with it touch of regret In his deep volco. "Things wore a good deal simpler I hon, Wo had ono hnnd instead of throo.' And wo didn't light iip ovor thoro buck of Wold or In front of Hovor. Wo hnd n lot of old fashioned Chlnoso liuiioniH nnd a lot of buekotK thnt caught flro ovory now nud I hon mid Hinollod awfully, lint wo wore ru- I hor hnpiiy.

"Tonight Is a Htirt of an iinnlvorHiiry you HOO." "Only twonty yonni," Hho rupoiitOil with i\ irncn of Irony. "To honr you CouhIii I High, ouo would think you worn HiioiiUliig of things thnt Imp- prinud In nnothui* existence!" "It wnH itnothur existence, my dunr," lm answered ruc-1'ully. Hho lifted hor hnnd wllh a 111 tie gesture of iri'lin- lion And,, smoothed hor blnoU hnir from hor forolumd. "I roall-zo that fact vory clnarly tonight," ho addod. "Listen!" ' In tho contro of tho ynrd tho hnnd had started thc Uluo Danube waits;. Tho man^ loanod forward until tho upward thrown light from thu myriad BwayliiB lanterns hathod his faco In tho mellow radiance. Tho music stirred old tnomorlf** nnd prosonf. ri*v KrotB, and tlio! fooling of molancholy which hail haunted lilm all tlio ovon- fug grew uudilctily BtratiBcr and brought a crease to the broad' forehead and a little', droop to the firm, well formed mouth. He turned to see her., warm with the glow and clear cut against the dark drapery at her back. Her gray eyes were looking rather dreamily down from under her half closed lids, and her lips, wont to smile in curves, were thoughtfully straight. Hugh thought he had never seen her more beautiful, and he knew that, he had never found his secret so hard to keep. He turned his gaze'from her by a supreme effort as the last strain of music died away on the soft night air. Grace gave a little sigh and faced him. "Wasn't it sweet?" she, asked, gently. ; " --"Yes," he replied. "..They played that twenty years ago." She gave a little laugh that didn't sound quite true. ,. "Oh, hear,"' such a doleful Cousin Hugh as itjs. Did the music make him sad? - Come now tell me all about it; who was she?" v "She?" . - " * "Of ' course! The giri of' twenty years ago;" the one you think of when you hear ,the Blue Danube, - ,1 fear you bachelors * are a sentimental lot, "There was no girl twenty years ago," he answered gravely. She shook her head as though she was not at all sure. **.*■"■■' "Is the memory too sacred?" slie asked in a mocking whisper. "Very well, he shan't be teased." • Then, turning again to the window. -'Isn't it beautiful?" she asked. "Very." H.e fancied he detected something of boredom in her tones. "Perhaps you'd rather dance, Grace? I've a card for Beck you know, and I'm sure your mother would trust you to me unchaperoned." She shook her head slowly without turning. "No, I don't believe I .care tb dance tonight.. But don't, let. me keep you: Jack said he would* be back at - nine." "."It's a quarter of," he said holding his watch to the light.' "If I am not boring- you too much I will stay until he returns." —She-rfrowned-slightljt-*,****—then—laid—a* slim, cool hand on his. "What is it?" she ased wistfully. ; "You're not—the Cousin Hugh*that I like tonight." ■His hand trembled under hers, but he answered steadily, though; "I'm sorry, Grace; don't mind me please, It's just that I'm feeling so awfully out of it tonight.

"I don't think she quite told me," he answered judicially, "but she gave me to understand it." "I see." She turned back to the window and lantern gemmed twilight, without. „"Well she was—premature Hugh." ; "I shouldn't have mentioned it 'anyhow,"- he answered slowly. "I'd rather you didnt yet," she said. I 'don't quite see why that should make you jealous?" "Don't you?" he asked in tones that sounded tired' and discouraged. ''Well, ever since you were two or three months old,and I used to carry you ih my amis* and pretend-I didn't like it—I've always felt—felt a sort of proprietorship, considered myself a kind of self appointed guardian. No one likes to have his occupation taken away of course, and after you are married, why then I shan't have any purpose in life, you sec, I suppose that's why I can't help feeling a little jealous." •" ■ "Is-that all?", she asked. "All? he faltered. "Why, I think so.' i "Oh," she said. She was looking out of the window. He watched her a moment in silence, then stirred uneasily and turned a troubled gaze to the green banked stand whereon the band was still, sending forth the rollicking two step.

"No," he-said gravely, "not all- Grace—I lied to you, there—I—love you.", ' , ' He thought there was a tremor of her shoulders, but his sight for the moment, was untrustworthy. At all events she did not turn, but only asked after an instant and very quietly, too:, "Much, Hugh?' , "Very much, little girl."* His .-voice trembled. "Perhaps I shouldn't have told you, but.it can't matter, can it? You won't let it trouble you, will you? I. think the lights and the music and your beauty, dear are-to blame.

"breaking open" may be cured.by Zam-Buk, as well as recent injuries and ' diseases. If you suffer from some old * sore—hidden perhaps, but none the' less painful for that—don't dally, apply nature's healing essences as provided in Zam-Buk. Mrs. I. 13. Ashton' of 111 Vickers street, Fort William, tells how valuable Zam-Buk is as a family balm. She says: "We first used Zam-Buk for cuts and for bruises etc., and found it. so satisfactory that my husband started using it for a chronic sore. • For a long time he had been bothered with an*old soro on his leg and had used various preparations, yet nothing had permanently cured it. He began applying Zam- Buk balm and was very soon agreeably surprised to notice a great improvement. "It was only a matter of a short time before Zam-Buk liad thoroughly cleansed the sore of all foul matter and healing commenced.' It was now some months since tho sore was completely closed and there is no likelihood of it breaking out' again. "Since then my baby, eighteen months old, has been cured of eczema on the scalp by Zam-Buk. This eczema came in red pimples, and if rubbed or scratched, formed into, sores. The child was very fretful from the irritation of the scalp, but whenever Zam- Buk was applied it seemed to bring the geratest relief. , Frequent applications were effective in clearing all traces of the disease .from the baby's scalp In a short space of time. I feel it my duty to.give the credit where due ando I cheerfully recommend Zam-Buk to all sufferers-from chronic sores, bad leg or eczema." ' , ,. , Zam-Buk is nature's own healing balm; being composed of purely herbal essences. .11 is a sure cure for eczema; ringworm, ulcers, cuts, burns, bruises, poisoned sores, chronic wound bad leg, piles, festering* sores, chapped hands, cold sores, frost bite and all skin injuries and diseases, Druggists and stores everywhere sell at SOc a box. or post free for price from Zvx- Buk Co., Toronto; 3 boxes $1.25.
