C. ST. EUGENE WILL CLOSE Manager Cronin Says Lead is Too Low to Ship. ANOTHER VICTIM OF THE LEAD TRUST Min ers Can GetCredi t fcio W rfc Done on Claims in Excess of Assessment* MINIM. NEWS OF liENERAl. 1N'I1:KI:ST The Moyie Leader snys thnt an important strike was made in the St. Eugene mine last week when between eight and niue feet of solid ore was struck about 6oo feet in from the 100 foot level of the shaft on the Lake Shore claim. This is on a cross lead between what is known as the south vein and tbe main lead. All the development work done from *lhis level goes to prove that tbe enormous bodies of ore encountered in the No. i workings maintain their size as they go down, and in out- place the ore has reached the width of 33 feet. And yet, notwithstanding the fact that today the St Eugene is one of the best lead mines on the American continent, Manager Cronin will close it down. While in Spokane recently he bad the following to say to a representative of the Spokesman-Review: "The lead situation in British Columbia offers so poor an outlook th.it we have decided to close the St. Eugene indefinitely. For months since shipments were stopped, we have been keeping a force of about 30 men ou development, steadily opeuiug up the ore body, so as to have it iu shape when the price of lead should advance enough to give us a market. Tbere ii so little cheer in the outlook, however, that the crew on development will be laid off, probablj within tbe next mouth, nnC the mines will be left standing idle until conditions change. We have decided tbat it is needless to keep on putting money In development when it is so uncertain as to the length of time until we shall be able to ship. Lead in Loudon now is Xu 2s Od, and ou that basis the producer tn British Columbia is paid only about $t 30 a hundred lor bis product, as against $3 50 which is the contract price agreed upou by the Coeur d'Alene mine owners with the American Smelling & Refining company. This difference in price puts a fatal crimp in us. -There is a duty of a cent aud a half a pound ou lead ores, aud if we could market our output in the United States and pay the duty we would still get $2 a hundred for our lead, or more thau 30 per cent above the market price now iu British Columbia. However, we are barred from entering the American market, even by paying duty, because the American Smelting & Refiniug company will not buy our lead at any price until its surplus is worked off, ami the smelters outside the trust-are so busy they cau• not take our ores." This hotel is now open and ready for guests. II. D. McMillen, formerly with the Cranbrook Hotel, is the proprietor, and he proposes to have A FIRST CLASS HOUSE Hiring Men In Pennsylvania. The press committee of the Miners' union at Ferule bad the following printed iu the Free Press of that town: "The following telegram has been received from L-D. Nicholl, president of District 1, of the U. M. W. of A.: "-'Scrautou, Peuu., Aug. 18.—To the Sec. of the local uuiou of VV. F. M, Fernie, B. C.: Agents getting meu for Michel, Morrissey and Fertile.

Aud it is further ordered that this order shall take effect from the first day of June, 1902." Mining Notes. The Noble Five, owned by James Dunsmuir, is now working with a small force. Late shipments of ore from the American Boy, Slocan, give $800 net to the car. Center Star and War Eagle, Rosslaud, are to resume shipments to the Trail smelter. The LeRoi main shaft is to be sunk to the 1400 foot level. At present it is down to ia-Bo feet. Returns of $3677 net were recently received from a shipment of 15 tons of ore from the Silver Glance, Bear lake, Slocan. The newly erected Vulcan smelter at Ferguson had its trial run last week, which is reported to have been most successful. The first shipment for 1902 from the Consolidated Cariboo Hydraulic Mining company has been received, amounting to $100,000. A concentrating plant is to be installed on the Blue Bird at Deer Park, Arrow lake. The owners claim to have 1200 feet of ore exposed. •Charles Haskius and Josiab Lobb, two miners employed in the Josie mine at Rossland, were drowned last Saturday morning while working iu the bottom of a 900 foot shaft. A disused shaft some 250 feet away filled with water, aud it worked a hole through to the shaft where Haskins and Lobb and two other meu were working, and a vast volume rushed down the shaft, filling it for 60 feet. The Boundary country smelters have blown iu again, since they were able to secure a supply of coke. The LeRoi mine at Rossland seems to bave struck a winning gait. A Clerk's Union. Cranbrook Herula; The clerks of Cranbrook met on August 13 and formed a union, to be known as tbe Clerks' Union of Craubrook. Officers were elected as follows: President, I. Gillis; Vice President, S. Mc- Kim; Secretary.Treasurer, L. S Mur- dock. Oue of the leaders in the movement said to The Herald: "Our object is social as much as anything else, and to promote as far as it is ln our power both the interests of the clerks and the employer, uot to antagonize in any way. We realize that our employer's interests are our interests, and every clerk, if he is worthy of holding such a position, is striving to promote the interests of the man or company that employs him. This is the kind of a feeling that should prevail. An employer should not aim to get all the work possible out of a clerk for as little money as possible, nor should a cierk try to see how little work be can do for the 111 oeuyhe rceeives. The relations should be reciprocal. Clerks are not machines; when they become so tbey are poor clerks. The clerk who is encouraged is always tbe better clerk. He will exert himself more, and make his employer's business his busiuess. A clerks' union, properly managed, is a good thing for both sides."

The townsite company is clearing off its ground, aud building a bridge which will be done this week, when lumber can be gotten into the new town with ease. Tuesday morning over 150 men got off at the new town to work. Mr. Greer says that everybody is talking of Morrissey, aud he looks for a lively place there this year.

Cranbrook Herald: Last January A Leltch, of the Cranbrook Lumber compauy, left for the east to lay the foundation for a new lumber company that would include several of the mills of South Kast Kootenay, and ample capital to meet the growing demand for lumber. Last Saturday tht* matter had reached the Btage where the promoters of the company met for the purpose of perfecting the organization* The session lasted that day and Monday when the final details were arranged, and the East Kootenay Lumber company became au accomplished fact. The capital stock of the new company is $300 000, divided into 3000 shares ol $100 each. Oue hundred thousand dollars of thl6 amount has been subscribed by the members of the Craubrook Lum ber company, the McNab Lumber company and theoPark, Mitchell Co.. the three saw mill companies that are included in the combination, and other parties largely connected with western interests. On Saturday the general meeting of the shareholders was held, and tbe following board of directors elected: A Leitch, Cranbrook; M. Leitch, Oak Lake, Man.; Jas. Ryan, Cranbrook; C. D. McNab, JafTray; VV. Culpman, Leth bridge, Alta.; James Park, Grand Valley, Out., and G. R. Muir, Moyie. A meeting of the newly elected board was held and the following officers elec ted: A. Leitch, president and manager, C. D. McNab, vice president. James Ryan, chairman board directors. W. Colpman, treasurer. A. Moffat, secretary. fhe head office 01 the company will be at Cranbrook and tbe new company assumes charge of the business of the three mills ou September 1, and begins its official existence. The company has obtained very important franchises from the C. P. R. aud other corporations, and also has tbe supplying of all lumber, ties, piles, and other material required by the C. P. R. in the territory covered by the lumber company. Tbis in itself means the employment of several hundred men. It is the intention of the new company to manufacture all classes of lumber in tbe latest and most economic manner, and without increasing the cost, will increase the market or demand for Kast Kootenay limber generally. Iu addition to the three spleudid plants already owned and in operation by the compauy, it is tbe intention to erect at some central point a Urge mill, equipped with tbe latest and best iu the way of modern mrchiuery, and have it ready for operation by next spring. This plant will include a dry kiln, sash aud door fucloiy, aud all machinery necessary to place tbe output of the company ou the eastern markets in the best possible manner. The capacity of the company's plant, with the new mill, will be not less than 25,000,000 feet per year. The new company occupies a most advantageous position from a business standpoint. At tbe start it bas three well equipped mills, already crowded with orders, and jot less thau £30,000 worth of dry lumber ou hand to meet Observations by P. E. Simpson Cranbrook Herald. Dave Newell, Mrs Griffith, Mrs. Galbraith and Mrs. Clark, of Fort Steele, were in town Saturday making purchases. Tbese three ladies are the pioneers of South Kast Kootenay. Mrs. Griffith came to this couutry in 1857 and Mesdatnes Galbraith and Clark were among the early residents of Fort Steele when that town was the only supply point for a vast territory. It is a treat to enjoy the acquaintance of any of the three and listen to the reminiscences of the old dayB. And, what is more, what a lesson their physical condition would be to the average woman of these days. Although years have passed, and in the case of Mrs, GrifHith, tbe three-score mark already a memory, yet they all are bale and hearty, aud took the 25 mile ride as easily as it it had been a little* walk in tbe park. It is such women (hot materially assist in making a new couutry. Tbey inspire courage and cul tivate energy. The Herald wishes all three of the ladies many years of happiness among their legion of friends in Soutb Kast Kootenay. 0 © tf Mr. Gr He of Fort Steele was in town last week He likes to come over now and then *$ it was in Cranbrook one day last 1 inter that he saw a railroad for the fn-t time in 17 years. He is now iu the go- ?rnment offices at Fort Steele and once .n a while loves to take a day off for a B'uort trip with his friends. Mr, Armstrong the government agent, says that Mr. Goldie, although he has been iu the west for years, ls perfectly familiar with the east and is a regular repository of facts ou the early history of Ontario and the eastern provinces. Recently when the Hon. E. G. Prior, minister of miues, passed through this country he met Mr. Goldie. The minister, iu the all ble manner characteristic of him expr -ssed great pleasure in meeting oue of the pioneers of the west. "Oh. this is not the first time we have met," said Mr. Goldie. ■'It is r ot?" replied -the minister, "No. About 30 years ago when you came to Canada from Scotland you slopped in Montreal for a few days and was a guest of the leading club. I was secretary of the club at that time." It was auother illustration of Mr. Gol- die's wonderful memo, y and was quite a surprise to Mr. Prior. W m m James Ryan, of the Cranbrook hotel, loves a joke, especially if it has a New Brunswidk flavor. He was raised in tbe land of lish and naturally cherishes fond memories of bis old home. Oue day last week he handed the Old Man the following from the Nelson News, saying as he did so that it was well enough to know the man before tbe argument v,as presented: Judge Barker of the supreme court of New Biuuswick, spent a few days in town this week. During his short stay iu the city the judge ran into the one enthusiasm ic member of that lackadaisical organization known as the Nelson tourist association, and the latter at once took the judge to task for making so short a stay in Nelson as he contemplated. As to the reason for making a inoie extended stay the Nelson man enlarged upon the local attractions, and dealt especially with the fishing available- This appeared to Interest the visitor aud he at once warmed up. Fishing evidently had greater interest for him than anything else, and be listened to tbe story of the catches he would probably make if he consented to stay over. Wheu the Nelson man had finished the visitor remarked that he had some fishing befoie leaving his native province. He and three others spent au afternoon ou the Bouaveuture river. Tbeir cat■ h consisted of 134 salmon of an average weight of 20 pounds, of which number the judge landed 30 off his own rod. The judge did not stop over for ' te fishing iu Nelson and the local man has uot mentioned the subject since* F biug in the Kootenay is good but the K jotetiay does uot harbor all the fish in tbt: world that are worth catching. BIQ FIRE AT ROSSLAND. The Loss Is Estimated At $75,000 and May Be More. Rossland, Aug. 25 —In two hours this afternoon fire did $75,000 damage in the business and residential sections of Rossland. Earlier 111 the day it was believed that the loss would be substantially greater than this, but close scrutiny of the facts indicates that the lesser estimate is as nearly accurate as cau be obtained for several days. The fire broke out precisely at 3 o'clock, in tbe establishment of P. Burns A. Co., butchers, two doors south of First avenue on Spokaue street, where a fire was in use for rendering lard. The blaze was not discovered until it bad secured considerable headway, and by the time the alarm was turned in flames were issuing from the roof. The department was on the ground quickly and water was playing on tbe flames two minutes after tbe alarm sounded. In 20 minutes this building was gutted aud the blaze, fanned by a stroug southeast breeze, had spread north aud east, jumping First avenue to a row of three story business houses. Shortly after the flames jumped Spokaneslrcet to the west and wiped out half a dozeu stores, tben extending up Center Star gulch destroyed many residences and the Columbia brewery. About 4 o'clock tbe wind veered from southeast to northwest and this saved a solid busiuess block from certain destruction. By 5 o'clock the fire was uuder control At 4:30 o'clock the Trail fire biigade arrived on a special train and with the well organized War Eagle mine fire brigade assisted in quelling the flames. Chief Guthrie was prostrated by u live wire, but assumed direction of the firemen half an hour later. Testimonial lo Mrs. Smythe. Cranbrouk Herald; Mrs. J. W. II. Smythe, formerly of Cranbrook, intends to remove this week from Greenwood back to Cranbrook. During her residence iu Greenwood she made many friends, as is evideuced by the following communication, under date of August 23, from that city: Yesterday afternoon in the parish ball the Ladies Guild of St. Judes Church of England, Greenwood, eutertaiued Mrs. J. W. H. Smythe (younger sister of Mr. W. S. Keay, sub-collector of customs at Fernie) at a valedictory tea. There was a numerous attendance of members of the guild and other friends of Mrs. Smythe, including meu also desirous of taking part iu this expression of the es - teem in which that lady is held, ancHu assuring her of their regret at her impending departure from Greenwood lo reside at Cranbrook. The tuuetion proved a veritable surprise party for Mrs, Smythe, who had not received any inkling of the intention of her co-workers in the guild to make ber a little presentation. This took the form of an address, tastefully engrossed aud illuminated by Messrs. A. E. Ashcioft and E. W. M. Lysous, aud sigued iu colored inks by the ladies contributing toward the purchase of au accompanying silver bon bon dish. Prettily arranged iu ornamental borders aud fancifully lied up with the address were several interior aud exterior views of the church. Tbe silverware was beautifully embossed and the initials of the recipient were engraved ou It. The address read by Miss •dinkier voiced the appreciation of tbe signers of the personal worth of Mrs. Smythe, of her devotion to the work of the guild aud other church work, aud the sincere regret fett at her removal from Greenwood. Mrs. Smythe feelingly acknowledged the kindness of her friends aud reciprocated their regret at having to say good bye. Tea followed and after au hour had beeu spent in social intercourse the assemblage dispersed. Mrs. Smythe, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Keay, will leave for Craubrook next week. any demand that may be made, Tli supply of timber under its control is I sufficient to meet all demands for the | Jame8 :'nrk- of lh« Park-Mitchell hext jo or 15 years at least, and the men dumber company of Moyie, who has In charge are practical saw mill men, j been '» town tIlc Paat ftiW ,la>'» '» co»- roughly familiar with the conditions | Oeotlon with tbe organization of the new tho in ibe west.

"Is ho dead?" asked liuric, starting quickly forward. "Hold, my son," uttered the monk, laying his hand upon the young man's arm. "Surely you have nothing to fear. It was none ol your work, no more than if you bad run your sword to the heart of a wild beast that bad attacked you." "But 1 did not touch bis heart," quickly returned the youth. "I was careful of tbat. I would bave struck him upon tho head with tho flat of my sword, but I feared I might break his skull." "lie is not dead yet," answered the surgeon as Ituric pressed forward nnd asked the question a second time. "He has only fainted from the shock of tho blow, coupled with bis own fears and passions." "But will ho die?" Ituric asked, kneeling down by tbe fallen man's side. "I cannot yet tell," the doctor said,, at.the.same time wiping the blood awav, wliielf'was flowing freely* ' .- ■. "But why not probe the wound now?" suggested the monk. "Now is the best time, for the place is not yet inflamed, nnd while he is thus insensible be will be free from pain." The surgeon nt once saw the truth and propriety of this, and he proceeded to act upon the suggestion. Having selected a probe wbich appeared applicable, he examined the wound. Huric watched him eagerly and with a painful expression. "I do not think this wound is mortal," the surgeon reported as he carefully felt his way along the course the steel bad taken. "It has passed below the right lung and only severed somo of the smaller blood vessels. I think, with proper care, he may recover." "Thank Clod!" fervently ejaculated Ituric, with his hands clasped. "But why so anxious?" asked Urzen. "You were ready enough to accept his challenge." "Ave, else you would havo called me coward," returned the gunmaker, with a flashing eye. "Had I refused to meet him that fatal word would have met me at every turn. I knew that such a man as he was no cope for mo at any game where strength of arm and sleight of hand were required. So I meant to disarm him and then givo him up his life, believhig that such a move would end the combat. You know how I labored to spare him. But I could not. Yet I would not have tho life of a fellow being, a countryman, upon my hands in such a quarrel. My father died fighting for his country, and so would I die if my death must como from the hand of man. But to die thus would bo a curse upon my name, and to inflict such death upon another would be a curse in my memory." "I believe you, my son," tho monk said. "Only if the count dies you should not allow such feelings as you mention to overcome you. In no way are you to blame for this." "True, father. Y'ou speak truly," added tho surgeon. "Tho young man has acted most nobly, nnd no blame can be attached to bim." liuric seemed somewhat relieved by these assurances, and, having seen the count's wound dressed and assisted in bearing the insensible form to tbe sledge, he took Alarie's proffered arm and proceeded to his own team. "Who is that monk?" asked the lieutenant as they entered their sledge. "I only know that ho is called Vladimir," returned Ituric. "I have only 6een him once before. Have you ever seen him ero this?" "Yes: several times ahout our bar racks. He has been there when some of our poor fellows have been sick and dying. lie seems to be a good hearted man and, I judge, quite intelligent." "I agree with you there," our hero said. "I think he is a good man, but there is nevertheless a mystery about him whicll I cannot solve. His countenance is familiar lo me, and yet I cannot tell where nor when 1 have seen him." "Aye," added Alaric quickly and eagerly; "that is precisely the case with me. I nm very sure that I have fcon that man under different circumstances. And others of our company have thought the same." The two men watched the movements of the monk while they thus spoke, and they noticed that lie entered his sledge and drove off toward Borodino. "Jturic," snid the lieutenant after tbey bad ridden some little distaneo and at the same time gazing won- doringly into his companion's face, "you handle the sword like a magician. By my soul, I'd give all I own at this present moment, my commission and all, if I could handle the sword as you can." "I do understand tho weapon passing well," returned tho youth modestly, "but I have worked hard to gain the science." "Ah, 'tis not all science," the officer added. "That wondrous strength of yours is a host in itself." "And yet," said Ruric, "I have seen weaker men than myself who would overcome me easily or, at least, who might overcome me." "But they were not in this city," suggested Orsa, with a peculiar shake of the head. "True, Alaric. I am not in the habit of mentioning my own powers, but yet 1 may say that there is no man in Moscow wbo is my superior in the uso of any sort of offensive arms." , The lieutenant readily admitted the truth of this, and then the conversation turned upon the subject of the count and. the course he had pursued with respect to the event which had just transpired. This conversation lasted until they reached (he door of Ruric's residence, and, having thanked his friend for bis kindness nnd expressed the hope that at somo time he might have opportunity to return some adequate favor, the gunmaker entered the house. The widow sat in her great chair by the fire. She was pale and anxious. Her brow was supported by her hands, and at every sound from without she would start up with a frightened expression and listen. At length the sound of bells struck upon her ear. They came nearer and nearer, and they stopped nt her door. She would have arisen, but she could not. With her hands cJasped she bent eagerly forward and listened with a frantic interest. Soon the door opened. Surely no one but ho would enter without knocking. She started to her feet. Tho inner door opened. A male form stood before her. "Mother!" "Buric! My boy! Safe I" She tottered forward and sank upon the bosom of her noble son, and while she wound her arms tightly about bim she murmured her thanks lo God. Hy and by Ihe widow became more calm, but still there was an earnest, eager look of fear upon her face. Rurie saw it, and he knew well what it meant. "Mother," he said, "the count is not dead." "Nor wounded?" she uttered quickly and eagerly. "Yes; badly. But, listen, I could not help it." And thereupon he related all the circumstances connected with the conflict. When be bad concluded, bis mother pondered a few moments, and then she snid: "Surely, my son, 1 will try to suffer nothing from this, even should the wicked man die. In all you acted upon the defensive. I'rom tho first ho has only been intent on attacking you, aud on tho battleground ho would have killed you if he could." "Most surely he would, mother. Aye, bo would not have hesitated to 6lab mo in the back could ho havo gained the opportunity. Ho was mad beyond all self control, and his eagerness to kill me was only equaled by his chagrin at being overcomo by ouo whom ho had hoped easily to conquer." After this Ruric went to his shop, but I'aul manifested no great emotion upon beholding bim. "Y'ou seem to take it as a matter of courso tbat 1 should return alivo and well," said tbe gunmaker, with a smile. "Why, of course," returned the boy composedly. "What would a 6core of such men ns he bo to you? Conrad Damonoff hold a sword bo- fore Ruric Nevel? No. 1 only smiled when I beard his challenge. 1 should have as soon thought of being anxious about your return from a marten bunt." Buric smiled at his boy's peculiar bling. ami informed him that he was i wanted by tbe emperor's ollicers. "Ob," she groaned, with clasped i hands am! tearful eves, "they will j take you from mc now!" "Kciir not, my mother," the youth \ confidently returned. "The emperor I will nnt blame me when he knows all ihe particulars. But come, let us go in." liuric found (he officer*, three of tbem. iu the kitchen, and he asked I them if tbey sought him. "We seek Ruric Nevel, the gun- ; maker," replied the leader. "I am the man, sir. May I know \ what is wanted?" "Cannot you guess?" "Why, yes. I suppose if must be on account of the duel which was i fought this morning." "Kxactlv." "And who wants me?" "Who sliould want you but the ' emperor?" "Ob, they will not take my noble boy from me I" cried Claudia, catching the ollicer by the arm. "Tell our good emperor that Russia has . taken my husband from mc; that ho fell in his country's cause. Tell him my boy was not to bin me"— "Hush, mother," interposed Ruric. "Fen r not yet." "Come," said the leader. 'Tt is growing late, and Peter will not brook delay." "But they will not harm him I" the mother frantically cried, clinging now to her son. "No, no, my m»ther. Best you easy here until I return." And then, turning to the guard, he added, "Lead on, and I will follow." "Now rest you easy, my dear mother." And with these words Ruric gently set her back into her chair and then hastened out after the ollicers. In tbe entry bs put on his bonnet and pelisse and then followed his conductors out to the street, where stood a double sledge, with two horses attached. "Y'ou seem to look upon tbe killing of a Russian noblemen as u very email affair." said one of the officers »Iter tney had started on their way. "Is he dead, tben?" liuric quickly asked. "The doctors think his case a critical one. But that is not tbe thing. Y'ou would have killed him if vou could." "No, no. By heavens,'tis not sol All who were present will swear that I tried to spare him." "Very well," returned tbe officer. "We shall see about that when we come lo the palace. Perhaps you may go clear; but, upon my soul, I would not willingly occupy your place." Buric cared not to argue lhe point with those who knew nothing about the circumstances, so he remained silent during the rest of the ride. It was near sundown when they reached the imperial palace, and Ruric was conducted at once into the emperor's presence. The Kmperor Peter was in one of the smaller audience chambers, sitting at a largo table covered with purple velvet heavily wrought with gold, and upon cither hand stood some of bis private attendants. He was n young man, not yet so old as Ruric by some three years, but his face already wore a mature look. His frame was solid, but not large, being rather slight than otherwise in physical bulk. His dress betrayed negligence and carelessness and was in marked contrast with Ihc rich garbs of his attendants. Such was 1'eter of Russia, yet a youth, small in frame and careless of those graces which go to make up the sum of court life, but still able to benr the affairs of a great nation upon his shoulders. Within that head worked a mighty brain, and in'that bosom beat a heart thirsting more for the good of Russia than for self or kindred. Ruric saw Stephen Urzen and the surgeon there, aud he also saw the Duke of Tula there. He met tbe duke's eye, und a peculiar 6cnsation of fear ran through his mind as he saw the stem, threatening expression that rested upon Olga's face. "Sire," spoko tlio leader of those who had conducted the prisoner (hither, "Ruric Nevel Btands beforo you." "Ah," uttered Peter, casting his eagle eye over the forms before him. "Novel, advaneo." With a bold yet modest Btep Rurie advanced to tho table, and, with a low bow, bo awaited the emperor's pleasure. There was a shudder perceptible in the frames of those who wished tbe prisoner well, for well they knew their mighty ruler's iron will and sternness of legal purpose. CHAPTER VII. A STARTLING TRIAL In order to understand the circumstances under which Ruric was brought before the emperor it will be necessary to go back n few hours. Tbo autocrat had occasion to send for the surgeon, Kopani, who had uttended at the duel, and as he was some timo in answering the summons he was questioned when he did come concerning his tardiness. His answer was that he had been attending the Count Dnmonoff. "And what ails the count?"asked the emperor. "He was well yesterday." "Yes, but be met with an accident today." "Look re. KoDani." the vouni* "Hal Wns be challenged ?" "No, sire. He was the challenger." "So, so. And who was tbe other party?" "A humble gunmaker, sire, named Ruric Nevel." "Nevel, Nevel," soliloquized Peter. "Tbe name is familiar." "His father was a captain in the last war with the Turks. He rose from the ranks under Feodor and was one of the bravest of the brave." "Captain Nevel. Ah, yes. 1 re- mem her now. He nnd Valdai were the two who first mounted the ramparts at Izium. So the old dispatches read." "Yes, sire. Poor Nevel was shot n month afterward while leading his brave company against a whole squadron of Turkish infantry, while Valdai came home aud got a colonel's commission." "And afterward received a title," ndded Peter. "Yes, sire." "And this gunmaker is this captain's son ?" "Yes, sire." "And methinks Valdai left a child." "lie did, sire; a daughter, who is now with Olga. She is liis ward." "Yes, yes. And the count fought a duel with young Nevel and got hen ten, eh?" Before the surgeon could answer a page entered the chamber nnd nn- nounccd thnt ''ic Duke of Tula wished lo see his imperial master. The emperor directed tbnt lu should be admitted, and ere long afterward the proud duke entered tlio apartment. He was a tall, stout man, with light hair and blue eyes, nnd not far from five and forty years of age. His bearing was haughty, though he was forced to a show of respect now that he was before his master. "Sire," spoke the duke nfter the usual salutations had passed, "I have come to demand justice at thy hands. My young friend the Count Conrad Damonoff has been mosi brutally murdered." "Hal Say ye so, Olga?" "Yes, sire." "Buthowt-nsit?" "Thus it was, sire: On the day before yesterday i sent the count with a message to one Rurie Novel, who is a gunmaker in Sloboda. He went as I wished, nnd while there the gunmaker, who is a huge fellow, provoked a quarrel and knocked the nobleman down. Of course the count was offended, and ns the ruffian threatened to repeat the offense and as he furthermore grossly insulted a noble lady whom the count held most dear ho could hardly help challenging him. The fellow accepted tbe challenge and has succeeded by tbe most cowardly maneuvering in inflicting upon him a mortal wound." "This is a serious affair," said the emperor, who bad not failed to note the astonished look of the surgeon while the duke was telling his story. "It is most serious, sire, and surely the ruffian should be at once executed." "But did you not sny that the count challenged him ?" "I did, sire, but you must remember that it was an instinct of self preservation with tbe noble count. The fellow would bave undoubtedly murdered bim had he not taken this course." "Were you present at the duel, my lord ?" "No, sire, but I have a friend without who was present." "Then you may bring him in." The duke departed, and when ho returned Stephen Urzen bore him company. "This is the man, sire," Olga said ns he led his companion forward. The emperor gazed upon Urzen a few moments in silence and then said: "You were present at this duel, were you not, sir?" "I was, sire," the man answered, bowing low. "And he wns nt their first meeting also, sire," interposed the duke. "Ah, yes. Then you know all about the affair?" "Yes, sire," answered Urzen. "Then tell me nbout it." "First, sire," commenced the man, casting a sort of assuring glance at the duke, "the count went to the gunmaker's shop to get him to— to"— fTO II CONTO1UXD.J The Zulu Ilrlu>.

This thing will not be so rare after awhile, for the farm conducted along sclentlflc lines Is In the near future goiug to offer better financial promise than are nny of the so called professions. The skimmilk calf has come to stay. Men have lenrned by experiments nud by careful feeding that skimmilk is the cheapest and best feed for a calf, especially for tbe dairy calf, says J. L. Smith Id Kansas Farmer. Tbe greatest trouble is the danger of overfeeding. Most people seem to think thut becauso skimmilk Isn't very rich tbey must give the calf lots of It, so they pour it down him by the bucket without stopping to think whnt a calf's stomach is like, and the result is that they soon have a lot of "potbellied" calves. When tbe calf Is a few days old, he Is taken awny from the cow nnd put Into a pen or shod to be taught how to drink skimmilk. Then tho fun coin* trwnces. If the calf will uot drink the milk right off nud Is a little stubborn, the fellow who Is trying to feed him usually gets mad, jumps straddle of the calf's neck, backs blm up Into n corner, grabs hold of the calf's head with both hands anil rnnis It down lu the milk to the bottom of the pail. Then the calf gets mad nnd bawls and tries to get away, gets strangled and finally succeeds lu spilling the milk. It Is best to have a little patience with the calf and remember thnt It does not have very much sense at first After It has sucked the cow two or three times It should be taken awny nnd put in a good clean pen and fed on Its mother's milk for a week or two. Then begin to gradually reduce the whole milk nud add a little skimmilk each day until within a couple of weeks It will be on skimmilk ttloiic. A good substitute for the fat removed Is a little eornmenl given after drinking. This will also keep them from sucking each oilier. Overfeeding, irregular feeding or feeding cold, sour milk Is very apt to cnuse scours with the calves. To feed skimmilk fresh from the hand separator on tbe farm Is the best way, because It Is always warm and sweet The skimmilk from the creamery Is all right, but In warm weather It will not keep sweet very long unless It ls sterilized well nnd thoroughly cooled when brought home. If the milk Is fed wltb a little meal and clean bright hay, calves can be raised on skimmilk. Would you try to fatten twenty 100 pound sbotes tbis winter with corn at I 50 cents a bushel?

"We nre reminded that tbe ways of the world are fnr more humane than they were In the good old days.

If milk is to be used for butter making, keep It ns warm as possible and set It to rest for creaming at once, says a Pennsylvania dairyman In New England Homestead, The warmer the milk wben set the moro complete will be the separation of tbe cream from the m'lk at any given lower temperature, and tho more rapidly the temperature falls the more rapid will be the separation of the cream from the milk.

This Is a lesson which needs preaching over and over. Milk Need! Cnrefnl Handling. I am very careful when milking my cows to have them clean ns well as to keep my bands nnd those of my hired mnu clean, snys M. Dickinson ln American Agriculturist. My stables arc always In the best of condition. The milk Is run from a baud separator directly Into the milk cans. Each skimming Is kept separate and hauled to the creamery by Itself. We are asked about the fall sowing of clover seed—for instance, on n field of rye In middle September. We hnve never known a full sowing of clover north of latitude 42 to be a success. The plant Is too tender to endure the extreme cold of the winter. We have known clover to be sown among corn nt the time of the Inst plowing In July und come through ull right, but In thnt case the plant had time to get better rooted and stronger. The best time to sow the clover seed is iu the spring OS early as possible. A noted western man riding across the country nnd noticing thousands of acres of cornstalks standing ln the field from which the enrs had been jerked said, "The farmer ls conducting the only business ln the world thut allows a man to lose 45 per cent of his capital stock and at the same time to live." Out of our great corn crop of nenrly 2,000,000,000 bushels annually only n very small part of the fodder is tarued to mueh account, says Kansas Farmer. At the very lowest estimate the stalks yielding one bushel of corn nre on an average worth 10 cents for feed, even including the great corn regions, a total of $200,000,000 lost. In the south generally little value Is attached to cornstalks ns fodder. In the west ninny farmers let their cattle roam in the fields nnd pick off some leaves, cat n little of the stalk and | trample the rest down. Nearly the whole of a cornstalk except n very little of the thin, bard outside eontlng affords nutritious fodder If It Is cut nt the proper time and well cured. It needs to be cut when uot so green ns to mold in the shocks, but not so ripe ns to lose nil its succulence nnd become woody. Experience and observation will generally liullcnto to every ono tho proper time for cutting It Plant Fodder Corn. Fodder corn ls a cheap and valuable food to retain the milk product during July and August, wben the pastures dry up nnd cuttle lose ln flesh nnd milk. It may bo cut up and mixed with feed, fed whole or used ns ensilage. Every farmer keeping cattle lor dairy purposes should raise a largo field of it each year for summer and winter use. Sow upon good land In drills nbout three feet apart and keep well cultivated. If seed corn especially adapted for that purpose be used, n much larger yield per ncre can bo hnd than by using field cui u. Tllrn.liliiK Corn Fodder. Haul tbe shock corn to the barn and run It through the thrashing machine. This cuts and silts tho stalks all line, shells and separates the corn and beaks up the cobs. This process leaves the fodder in fine shape for feeding stock, as there is no waste, nml If managed so as to run It from the machine Iuto tbe barn ls certain!;/ ■i grent saving. The man '-who last August wns cussing Provldeece nud bewailing his bad luck as he looked at bis withered cornfield and offered to sell It nnd In not a few cases selling It nt the rale of $;! or $4 an acre, In Novem- j ber found that the field yielded forty bushels of good corn to tbe acre, worth $20, nud ii ton and a half of line fodder, worth $12, or more than one-half what his farm was worth at $00 per ncre. This wns really the worst case of agricultural grunting aud eusslug that we ever came across. It was n most lovely November day, coining after frost and snow and grim wintry weather, a belated piece of October softness aud loveliness, nnd as we met our old frleud be snid, "1 wonder whnt sort of weather we nre going to get to pay for this." We corrected him by saying that It wns not true Hint the good things which the Lord sent to us always had a penally connected with them; that it wus uot true thnt such n benutiful day must needs bo followed by some climatic convulsion. Such gifts are complete Iu themselves, nml only the pessimist will Ignore the fragrance nnd beauty of the rose In his diligent search for the thorns on the stem. About the best product which ls being turned out from the cornfields of the country Is the boys who plow nnd cure for the crop; who husk It when ripe nnd graduate from the cornfields Into legislature, senate chamber nnd Judicial bench! who become the brainy, forceful managers of grent business enterprises und make history for their country. So rare a thing Is It that the portrait of a young mnn wbo graduated with honor from oue of our western agricultural colleges nud went straight from the college back to his farm is A marked chnnge Is In progress In the agricultural methods of Kansas and Nebraska. It has been demonstrated Hint winter wheat Is one of the surest nnd best crops which can be grown, especially In all tbnt portion of tbose stntes which nre at all subject to midsummer hot winds nnd drought.

MOLDY OR WORMY CORN, A Cnn.e of Disrate In Hor.e. In Kiiu.ua ontl Adjoining; State.. Serious losses III this and adjoining slates are occurring nt the present time as a result of feeding wormy, moldy corn, either when It Is fed as a grnln rntlon or when obtained by picturing In the stulkficlds or when fed upon the cut corn fodder. The disease Is un influuimatlon of tbe brain or spinal cord and Its coverings (meninges;, associated with a breaking down of tlie nerve tissue of the bruin. It is popularly called "staggers" or "mnd staggers," because of the prominent symptoms shown. The symptoms nre those of a brain dlsense. The animal appears blind and only partially conscious. Tbere ls often u tendency to turn In a circle to the right or left and a staggering or a straddling gait There ls usually a trembling of the muscles. As the dlsense progresses the animal becomes delirious and easily excitable. In many cuses the animal will stand with tbe bead or breast against a wall or manger nnd push. Animals will often eat wheu badly affected apparently from force of habit, not because tbey are hungry. In some cases animals will die in a few hours after they are first noticed ailing. Most of tbem die within a few days. A few live a week, rarely longer. In a few eases the spinal cord Is diseased, while tbe brain remains nearly normal. In these cases tbere ls inability to control tbe muscles or tbe animal may be unusually, sensitive, the least irritation of tbe skin, even by touching tbe animal, often causing it to kick violently. Where the spinal cord only ls affected the animal frequently recovers. Laxative food should be given, and Iodide of potusb ln one drum doses dissolved ln wuter can be given once daily for three or four days. Mules are rarely affected by this disease. "Practically all cases where tbe brain ls the seat of the disease die, and nil methods of treatment so far bave proved of no value. The animal should be placed where it will be comfortable and cannot injure Itself or otber animals and supplied with soft laxative food, such as thin bran mnshes. The only treatment for tho disease Is pre> ventlve by avoiding the wormy, moldy corn. Care should be exercised In handling a horse to avoid Injury, as tbe animal Is irresponsible and often 111 ■ delirious frenzy. In some eases horses do not begin td die for a month after being turned Into the stulkficlds, nnd they mny contract the dlsense a week nnd In some cases ten days nfter the moldy corn has beets withheld. Moldy or wormy corn does not seem to be Injurious to other animals and ran be fed to cattle and hogs without dunger.—U. S. Mayo, Kansas Station. Protection Asaln.t Wind nnd Cold.

American Agriculturist finds thst several years ago alfalfa was tried In Louisiana by the experiment station and gave satisfactory results. When sowed in October on well prepared land at the rate of fifteen to twenty pounds of seed per acre, ■ first cutting can be secured In March or April. As much as eight cuttings a year may be expected. This legume seems to do. fairly well In certain sections of Ontario, but as a rule it is not generally -satisfactory. Tbe hairy vetch yields a mAich greater amount of green fodder and **V Ar ma*fl.. ways more desirable.' It ls much mora profitable thfln tbe common spring vetch. Alfalfa grows well on various kinds of soil, provided tbe subsoil ls open and porous. A rich, somewhat sandy loam, with a deep and loose or gravelly subsoil, well supplied with lime, ls most favorable. Alfalfa in New Jersey was best cured by leaving lt ln tbe swath long enough to become well wilted, then putting into shocks to complete the curing process. Alfalfa will last four to ten or more years, depending upon tbe character of the soil, methods of manuring and cutting. Tlie Working Cow. In some parts of Europe, they make a practice of working cows ln the yoke as wo do or used to do oxen, excepting that possibly as tbey want milk tbey are careful to feed well and not overwork. This led to a series of experiments at Stockholm, Sweden, In testing the milk of cows so treated, and they found tbat tbe milk was reduced in quantity by tbe exercise, but Its quality was so much richer ln butter fat Hint tbe working cows actually produced more butter than cows equally good that had no other exercise than tbey found In gathering their food ln tho pastures.

We went Into one great room In the old building in whieh there were 200 desks Inclosed iu wire cages, all empty at Ihe moment I asked what these were for. "The»« cages are for oar city collectors," I wns told. "When n small merchant borrows from the Bank of France, ho does not, ns with you in America, borrow n bunk credit and have his loan merely added to bis balance on the books of the bank. With us the merchant, when be makes a loan, gets the actual money and takes It nway. He probably has no bunk account with us. lie writes no checks. When the loan Is due, he does not, as would be the ease in your banks, come 'n nud pay bis Indebtedness with a 'cheek; Instead of Unit we send a collector to blm, and that collector is repaid lhe loan In actual currency.

These collectors were uniformed men, carrying leather pouches, In which they hnvo the matured notes mid which are later filled with currency as the collections uro made from the batik's borrowers.

Palms and ferns should never be allowed to stand ln a draft When moss is seen on fruit trees, lt may be taken as evidence of lack of thrift in the trees. The Ideal soil in which to set a plant Is one that Is moist, without being water soaked, neither too dry nor too wet Dust is a great enemy of window plants ln connection with dry beat. Curo must be taken to keep the air moist. In India the tea plant ls naturally a tree, but by means of pruning It is kept so small that lt seems to be only a bush. For setting ln a dry soil tbe plant should be well rooted and stocky, as It must depend on the roots lt already bas to make a start. Vines of all kinds flower and fruit freely only after they have reached tbe top of tbelr support When they have "arrived," they set about blooming. Peonies should bo planted ln October. Once planted they should not be disturbed, but should be allowed to form strong clumps. Thus treated tho flowers Increase ln size and beauty with each succeeding season. Health is nature's choicest gift to man and should be carefully guarded. Ill health is a sure sign that' the blood is either insufficient, watery or impure, for most of the discuses that afflict mankind are traceable to this cause. Every organ of tho body requires rich, red blood to unable it to properly perform its life-sustaining functions, and at the lirst intimation that nature gives that all is not well, the blood should be cared for. Purgative medicines will not do this—it is a tonic that is needed, and Ur. Williams' i'ink Pills have been proved, the world over, to surpass all otber medicines in their tonic, Strengthening and health-renewing qualities. From one end of the land to the other will be funnel grateful people who cheerfully acknowledge thai they owe their good health to this great, medicine. Among these is Mr. El/ear RobldoUX, u prominent young man living at St.. Jerome, Que. Ho says : "For some years was a great sufferer from dyspepsia. My appetite became irreg-ular and everything 1 ale felt like a weight ou my stomach. I tried several remedies and wus under the care of doctors, but to no avail, and I grew worse as time went on. 1 become very weak, grew thin, suffered much from pains in the stomach ami was frequently seized with dizziness. One day a friend told me of the case of a young girl who had suffered greatly from this trouble, but who, through the use of Dr, Williams' rink pills had fully regained her health and strength, and strongly advised me to try these pills. 1 was so eager to find a cure that 1 acted on his advice and procured a supply. From the very lirst my condition improved and after using the pills for a couple of months 1 was fully restored to health, after having been a constant sufferer for four years. It is now over a year since I used the pills and in that timo 1 have enjoyed the best of health. This 1 owe to that greatest of all medicines, Ur. Williams' Pink Pills, and I shall always have a good word to say on their behalf.' Through their action on the blood and nerves, theso pills cure such diseases as Rheumatism, Sciatica, St. Vitus' Dance, Indigestion, Kidney Trouble, Partial Paralysis, etc. Be sure that you get the genuine with the full name "Ur.

Being Meet- Capi- Ottawa, Ont., May 26.—(Special)- To say that the miraculous case of George H. Kent, of 809 GHlmore St., had shaken medical circles to thier very foundation, is putting it, mildly The facts of the case have been so thoroughly and satisfactorily established by Mr. Kent's sworn statements as to leave no room for misunderstanding or mistake *in themat- ter. Mr. Kent had Brightjs Disease ; he had been in bed for mouths, gradually getting worse; physicians could do nothing for him. His case had reached that stage when his body was terribly bloated. lie was so low that he had convulsions, which were rapidly growing more frecjuent. In tho interval between these convulsions he was almost entirely unconscious. In this extremity the physicians at last told his wife that he could not live until morning. .While watching by his bedside Mrs. Kent chanced to pick up a paper containing an advertisement of a cure of Bright's Disease by Dodd's Kidney Pills. It was then midnight, and ull drug stores were closed, but the devoted wife determined, that oven at this extremely late hour she would make one more effort to save her husband's life. Accordingly she despatched a messenger, woke up the nearest druggist, procured a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills, which she commenced to administer at once. Mr. Kent did not die that night, for from the first dose of Dodd's Kidney Pills he commenced to improve. All other treatments and medicines wero discarded, nnd the use of this remedy carefully continued. Gradually yet surely this wonderful remedy arrested tho progress of the dread Bright's Disease. It took Dodd's Kidney Pills about six or seven weeks to restore Mr. Kent to good health. This is seven years ago, and he has never lost n day's work through illness since. For every time he fills a pip medium sizo a smoker blows smoke-clouds.

Tbe Herald bas received from the Weekly Free Press a picture In colors of King Edward VII, tbis being the supplement wbich they are issuing to tbeir readers for August ln connection witb their monthly distribution of pictures. The picture, which is io by ioyz inches, is printed in four colors, and shows His Majesty in the sttiklcg uniform of a field marshal. Out of the window of the old wooden bridge, whose hooded tunnel threw a dark bar ncross the moonlit mountain stream, a man nnd a woman stood looking Into the pine clad amphitheater of the cliffs, which lay ln stillness beneath tbe spell of a September night. The black hollow ot the bridge, with Its ono moonbeam sharp across the floor, contrasted with the awful splendor of the gmulte gorge, buttressed and pinnacled In every rising tier, under the flood ot ghostly light, and If the only object of the couple lu coming here was to see the view they were amply repuld. From their conversation since they left the hotel, which now lay behind them hidden by a fringe of the forest, it would have been difficult to say that tills was not tbelr only object The small talk of acquaintanceship, friendship nnd even love Is within certain limits and among people habituated to each other's conventions practically Indistinguishable. Frequently it Is difficult to decide why the degrees should be of so much consequence to the parties. It was knowledge of the world and the good temper of experience that kept Mrs. Hugonin and Arthur Kin- nnird on perfectly unruffled terms with each other. The conviction that be bnd long ago forgiven her, gratifying as It once hnd been, was now of such long standing that it hnd become confused with her earlier and less justifiable conviction Hint be ultimately would forgive her. Thus secure In vindication, the lust for which the dying Eva bequeathed to nil ber sex, Mrs. IIu- gonin could without the slightest reflection upon her widowhood accept once more the companionship of a man who tolerated life as comfortably as Arthur Klnnalrd. The imminence of the climacteric which she knew to be threatening him wns not to be read from his figure. Ills step was alert, his cheeks were bronzed, his tastes were rational, and what more could he desire? She pushed back her dark hair under Its somewhat youthful cap, nnd, leaning her elbows on the ledge, gazed without speaking at the haunted detile. Klnnalrd gave a little laugh behind her. "Margaret," he said, "upon my word, lt seems as It we were boy and girl again." "Why, particularly?" she asked, without turning her bead. "Oh, all this summer," he replied. She did not ask him to be more explicit "It Is certainly an ideal place," sho said with a half sigh. "Yet It is foolish to say that the beauties of nature restore one's youth. One may feel young again, . ut one Is not really any tbe less dispassionate." "I am not so sure of that" Bald Klnnalrd. "I should like to argue the point with you—If lt could be argued." "l'ou men are all alike," said Mrs. Hugonin with an inconsistent shrug ot her shoulder. "You give up to logic whnt was meant for conversation." Klnnalrd stroked bis mustache thoughtfully for a moment "And so you think me dispassionate?" he observed. "You?" said Mrs. Hugonin, turning with a delightful laugh. "Why, Arthur, there Isn't a sentiment or a conviction to whose support society could order you to contribute!" "It you mean that" he said slowly, "It Is quite ns I feared." "As you feared?" "You still believe the capable of as much mistaken Belt control as I once was. And," he added calmly, "I don't wonder." Though there was no bitterness apparent In his tone Mrs. Hugonin was startled. "Really, this Is unlike you, Arthur," sho said gravely, but yet with a sense of amusement "You petulant with your past? You provoked with your recollections? Indeed, I have mistaken you." He laughed, but gently. "Come," he said, "you have no right to be Ironical. Though I onco let you go, lt was becauso I thought you wished to be released." "Upon my word, Arthur," said Mrs. Hugonin, "I did not know you were serious or I should not have Uken this as a joke." "I am entirely serious." "Really?" said Mrs. Hugonin, and the spoke with some Irritation, "I thought nil had been forgotten and forgiven years ago." Then sbe drew herself up proudly. "Can It bo that after all this time you bave conceived the childish whim of forcing me to a—to ■n apology?" "No-hnrdly thnt" "1 am ready to make tt," sbe went nn. "But if 1 do"— Klnnalrd moved to the window beside her and laid a hand on her arm. "You are much mistaken," be said, In the undisturbed voice which so provoked ber. "You must Indeed think that I am taking leave of my years. I never bad much vanity, I think, but what I had when I wns younger I never made a pet of. Look over there at tbe rocks, and wbat do you see?" "Rocks —and moonlight But, Ar* tbur"- "The rocks make me recollect," he went on, unheeding, "that one day when you were about seventeen you and I climbed Lone mountain together. And when we reached the ravine you Insisted on going first, and I let you. Now, 1 did tba t because I reflected that If you fell I could catch you." "Well?" "Yon see, tbat was tny first mistake. I should bave gone first and made yon cling to my—pardon me—conttalls." ,/y-jrj! likely," t»ld Mrs. Hugonin, half laughing. "But I can't think* 11 does us any good to talk lt over now." "After tbat," said Klnnalrd, pursuing his BUbject "I acted consistently on the same mistaken theory. And when lt came to the question of giving you up I thought always of you first That was why I gave you up—which you naturally considered a weakness." It did not escape Mrs. Hugonin that a dormant weakness of ber own was reviving under the continued stress of this absurd conversation, a weakness for sentiment. But It was checked by her vexation with her friend for breaking their tacit understanding, and by tbe feeling of half contemptuous pity that stole over her as he spoke. Were she a mnn, sbe thought, she wonld never confess at forty to the Incompetence of twenty-flve. Thnt Klnnalrd did so, but absolved ber again. Also, she reflected, she had had a headache yesterday, add therefore It was very lucky this conversation had not been started yesterday or she would have been much more provoked than she was now. "I shall not stop you," she said In a half mischievous tone. "Go on—I won't be angry. You will perhaps admit that if there Is anything rankling it ls as well for you to abuse me and have lt over, even after all these years, whose obituaries you have written." "My dear, my darling," be said, bis strong hand clasping hers so quickly that involuntarily her arm struggled like a bird's wing to wrest Itself away, "it Ib well for me to tell the only woman I ever loved that I love her still and do not mean to let her go again." "Arthur!" "Margaret, I love you mora than ever." "It Is Impossible!" :>■ !; j 1 "I love you I" "You cannot, cannot be In earnest," she stammered, "Why, you havo never told me." "Never—Until now," he laughed. "I learned something wben I lost you the first time—my dnrllng!" "This," said Mrs. Hugonin, partially recovering herself, "Is folly, Arthur, and It Is most unfair." "Unfair," he said, "to want you for my wife? No; you menn unfair to take you off your guard. I will not quibble with your words," be said, smiling. "May the bour and the scene suggest lo you all that they will; may they bring you back to—lt wns twenty that •you were—when It all happened! Margaret, when you were twenty-six I -went awny from the city of all my hopes, but before I turned my back on It I did as many a refugee bad don* Ibefore me—1 sealed up my trensures land hid them, and my store ls where I left lt Tbat Is why I want you to snnrry me. All thnt I had looked forward to telling you—whon you were twenty—all that I hnd to say to yon, the secret hoard that I bnd been piling up for our married life, ls Intact and now I want you to shnre It with me," He paused a moment and then went on: "My dear, I have simply had to wait; thnt Is all. But, please heaven, we will begin again." Poor Mrs. Hugonln's breath enme and went, an unwilling messenger of passion—or, It might be, of sentiment "Perhaps I was in the wrong," she snid. "But why did not you think more of yourself?" "I am thinking of myself now," said Klnnalrd. Suddenly, as Mrs. Hugonin hung distracted and ln doubt the cliff before tbem rang faint and sibylline with nn echo. It was the town clock of the village striking over beyond tbe trees. Tbey could not bear it, but sent from ledge to ledge ln the still night air, It struck silvery and remote on tbe granite facade. As It sounded they both started, he at Its elfin suggestions, she at Its material reminder. "Good gracious!" she exclaimed. "It Is 11 o'clock!" "It is," said Klnnalrd. "And we must positively go back to the botel at once. We are a scandal, Arthur—and you know It for I saw you start too." She began to smile. "Do you see nothing in the augury?" she asked. "The augury?" "We are two old fools," she said. "Think ot my boy ln hts bed, Arthur. "Think of my thirty years—be quiet, if you please. I choose to be thirty for formality's sake. It ls only tbe night and the moonlight When 11 o'clock strikes, we recollect tbat we ought to be respectably at borne. It is only an echo. Ab, my denr old friend, we have had our past, and lt Is over. Yours bas been unhappy, and I am, oh, so very sorry I But you are contented now and, what ls more, you are kind and strong—It Is better as lt ls. Take me back to the hotel—and we shall beware of echoes In future." "I thought you said you bad grown old," said Klnnalrd. "It is only, youth tbat refuses the echo." And be took her ln his arms and kissed ber. Lord Kelvin's Inventive FCrreUaa. Soon after Lord Kelvin had assisted In laying tbe Atlantic cable, when he was yet known as Sir William Thompson, bis mind was greatly troubled In devising some method for perfecting the ordinary telegraphic apparatus used on overhead wires, as the old method, or tbe one tben ln vogue, was not suited for the varying currents passing along the cables. The laying of the electric current bad the effect of making tbem run together ln one bottom current,. witb surface ripples. The difficulty which Lord Kelvin had to overcome was to Invent a means of clearly distinguishing all the delicate fluctuations. One day the great Inventor's eyeglass dropped off and swung ln front of the magnet The glass deflected Its movements, and from tbis simple and unexpected Incident the "mirror Instrument" was Invented.
