Mr. Fletcher, on behalf of the town-
Bite company, had made a demand on
the city for 11600 for the transferring
of 46 lots jo the mill company. Mr.
Fletcher, in tsayiiig he would gbjre the
land, had exceeded his powers as trus-|
tee of the townsite. He could sell but
not give away property, Ilie owners
wen* willing to deed over block F, but
Fletcher had refused to sign the deed
when it was presented to him until he
had heard from his co-owners. Coif*
sents hail been forwarded to them to
sign and all woultl be ready in ten W

Tli.' mayor next addressed the council ui length and said thev were up

pleasant.   It looked very much like a
hold-up game on the sawmill site for
$1600.   Fletcher  bad   exceeded   his
powers from the townsite company
anil lhe citv would  have to purchase
15 lots.   These were listed  at $100 a j'
lot. but tin* owners had agreed to put '
them in for less than St'l each, or an .
aggregate of $1600.   Fletcher would
forego his quarter interest •so reducing
the amount  to $1200.   That moneyy

take it out of the freneral finals of the ^iy
city, as it would cripplethe city work. Jk
Rather would it lis- better to add it on | W
to the loan bylaw, making the amount
17000.   Mr. Gait, inspector  for the
financial company, had  been in the
citv and examined the bylaw, and
hail stated it must be revised, consequently ii must  again go before the
peoplo.   The agreemeni with the mill
company must be separate from the
bylaw, but the former Btands,   The

Thomas Jones, representative of the
Lanyon Zinc Works, of Iola, Kansas,
hns succeeded in gecuring a ruling
from the United .States customs appraisers, admitting Canadian zinc ores
free of duty into the United States
for treatment. Some weeks ago he
contracted with a number of Slocan
mines for 1000 tons of zinc on*, to lie
shipped to his works as an experiment.
A portion of the ore went forward, but
$7 per ton more profit thnn if the ore
were sent to Antwerp. Belgium, The
railways bave given u special rute of
Sll tier ton oh the ore to Iola, enabling the producers  to win on a safe
margin,
Mr. Jones is in the field to secure
all the ore available, and his actions
will Ixi followed by other buyers. All
the Slocan properties possessing
bodies of zinc are preparing to mine
everything in sight. There will be
many more men ndded to the working
forces and the output promises to be
heavy. As a first result of the Washington ruling, the Payne on Friday
ss'tit out U18 tons of zinc, and will follow this up with regular shipments,
These will be followed by others from
the Slocan Star, Ivanhoe, Lucky Jim,
Bosun, Wakefield, and other mines,
Several idle properties are likely also
to be put in operation..
To better handle the output, Mr.
Jones' company will establish sampling works nt Kaslo, or some other favorable spot, and so expedite shipments. The demand for zinc will have
a direct influence on this portion of
the Sloean, affecting principally the
Enterprise, on Ten Mile. There zinc
has previously been considered more
or less of a  nuisance, but now it will

objections lo the bylaw and a lotter
from the latter was read.   The main
object ions weret that to raise money
and exempt from taxation cannot be
grouped under one head, bul required
two separate bylaws; thai the agreemeni iini*i be separated from the by*
I iw: that the purchasers of the debenture's were insufficiently protected;|t>,
and that failure on the part or the
sawmill company to carry out their
agreemeni rendored the bylaw null
and void, which nogativ*3d the raising
of the  mouev.    The  recourse  was to
ash the lieutenant govornor to cancel
the present Inlaw, which had lieen
requested, ami submit twonewbylaws
to the ratepayers.

was detained ai Northport pending a
ruling by the customs authorities as
whether it could pass without pay
in'* duty. Zinc ores were not specifically mentioned in the customs schedule, but the officers would not pass
the shipments till the  Washington
people gave a ruling. Mr. Jones went
to Port Townsend and interviewed
Qol. Heustis, the head of the American customs in the state of Washing
ton, bv whom the matter wns referred
to the federal authorities at the city of
Washington. The latter took the ease
under adviseni'iil and O'l Thursday
decided the ores could pass into the
country free.
The news has been most gladly received in this country, as it means
much brighter davs lor the Slocan, as
a large number ot mines contain /•iu'',
an article that is in growing demand
on the other side. Silver has fallen to
nothing and there was a dismal outlook before the mining community.

Those startled looks of pained surprise, with which in the earlier days
of their acquaintance she had greeted
some sneering remark of his, haunted
Iiis memory until he begau almost
unconsciously to shape his words nnd
thoughts Into conformity with what
In* believed to be her Ideal. And this
he did. not only when he "as reminded of his monitor by he:' presence. A very tender conscience had
been begotten in him, which ii was
becoming daily more Impossible to
violate. Aleo, ho wns awakening to
a seme of his neglected duties, For
months ho had been content to enjoy his wealth in Idleness, but u
to'inpathetic commonplace regarding
the weight of anxiety tbat must be
Ins on account of his possessions, fell
from Mary's Iiis ono day and Ilium-
initeil the subject for him. When the
girl had spoken, he turned impulsively to her. and took her hand.
"Miss Mary." be said, "I think l
should never do wrong again, if you
were always near to advise nie. Vou
h.i vi- shown me a hundred things that
1 was blind to before. I have certainly ne.'leitetl work that old Mr. Wishart expected me to attend to. but I
shull not neglect it any longer."
How .Mary's heart I eat. how her
fine, glowed! Was it possible tint her
advice waa of value, her suggestions
were of use? Ko one at the Manse
ever thought of asking her advice;
Kato always treated her suggest.ons
with amused tolerance. How sweet
it wns to be appreciated, and appreciated by Gavin Wishart. Bhe wrote
h.'s words on her heart, and brooded
over her hidden trcausre; she. she,
was actually influencing the life of a
man!
On the present occasion, Qavln'S
thoughts ha,ving wandered from admiration of Hichard Twiss' devotion
nnd energy to the contemplation of
hs own dilatory habits, he surprised his companion, after an Interval, by u sudden question.
'What do you think of Argentines
as an investment?"
"Excellent counters to gamble
with." replied Mr, Claverton. "Why
do you usk""
"1 have a. few thousands to In
M2*t. I want your opinion."
"Well, If 1 had the spare money,
and required a little excitement, I
should buy Argentines, and keep
them — for a very short time."
"They are safe enough, aren't they?
I hold soiiis* already for the Prisoners' Aid scheme, and thought ot buying o here for the Indigent Fund ."
"Invest trust money in Argentines!"
exclaimed Mr. Claverton, "J should
not care to huve you for my trustee.
>o, no. Take rn) advice — sell out
whut you hold uml think yourself
lucky io get out without loss. There
will be a big rs urt ion presently. As a
trust io it is not your business to
taku risky securities for ths* sake of
making largo prulits; a moderate,
steady return is nil you have to
look for. Sell out. 9ell out. if you're
wise."
They were close to tht* solicitor's
otlice. "Will you come In?" he asked,
but ("avin shook his head, nnd began
slowly to retrace his steps
lie had implicit faith in Mr. liiv»-
erton'S Judgment in money matters,
and his mind was now considerably
disturbed. Only a day or two liefoie,
he bad all but authorized Itichard
Twiss to in\e-t still morn of the
Trust money iu Argentine Bonds, owing to that gentleman's warm recommendation ol tliiin; now lie Wished
with all his heart, either that his
benevolent old relative had not sail
died him with this troublesome trus
teeship, or else that he had been freo
from tho doubtful advantage of Hie)
ard Twiss' co-operation anil advio
Ho recalled wiih some misgivings
that Twiss had counselled him to
rely in thoso matters on his own
judgment, und ov. ni •"•count to be
influenced by the timidii. of some
advisers he could name, whi thought
tho proper way to invest money was
to lay it up ln an old stocking.
"It would lie so different," Twiss
had urged, "il you yourself were entirely without cxpericnci'. With your
sagacity, foresight, and knowledge of
the world, you need not be de|iendent
on any one."
As he recalled this speech. Gavin's
face tingled. He knew perfectly well
that he had neither sagacity, nor
foresight, nor Wide cxperiencs*. but.
w'as in plain truth vacillating and
easily led, with sufficient wit to bo
aw-aro of his weakness untl sutlicient
vanity to desire to bide it.
"There is still timo," he rcllected,
courageously, "I shall put a stop to
this!"
lie begun to arrange a conversation
between Twiss and himself, in the
course of which he was to evince a
good deal of sagacity. He heard
himself allude to a probable big re-
aetisin in Argentine*!, and hint at the
considerations that should influence
a trustee in his choice of Invest*
meats, 'n a fervor of determination, he reached tho lawyer's ollico
and went us usual to his private
room.

t.uvin approuched ho looked up—Ills

sentences  from  hig mind.
"Vou uru terribly ill I' * he exeluun-
ed. "Can 1 do anything? .Shall I

Unable to speak, Twiss motioned
with his band low/*rd the structure
of pigeon iisiii.'s surmounting bis

thi'se a small mirror bud been fitted,
Qavio divined thut it wus the door
to u  rocsas,   he opened  it ui.d  found
a spirit Husk within the compartment. To pour out brandy aiidliolil
it. to tho sufferer's lips wus tlie work
of a moment; Twiss drank, gasped,
and begun to breathe more freely;
tho livid hue died away from bis
face, he wiped the dampness from
his forehead, Presently he looked
up with nn attempt at a smile.
"I am better. That was not so
had. Vou can't guess what u relief it is to huve lhe pain go. 1 am
sorry to have alarmed you."
"Vou aro surely seriously 111,"
Ravin saisl,  much  concerned.
"T have these attacks occasionally!
it is heart com plaint I havo been
doing too much." He turned over
the papers on his desk listlessly.
"Pray sit down, Mr. Wishart, Vou
wanted something?"
"I hud better come at another
time.''
"No: I assure you I am all right
now."
"Are you really   able to talk?"
"Quite uble."
Uavin made un unsuccessful attempt to collect bis seutouces,
"The fact is," he said, "I have
been reconsidering matters.    I think
it will be US well, on the whole, not
to invest tluit £2,000 in Argun-
tines."
"Noll I understood we were to!
purchase at once. I did so. The
bonds came by to-day's mail"—]
Twiss feebly lifted one pile of papers, nnd then •another, as he spoke j
—"I thought I had theni here, no, s
I must have locked th.in up." He |
rose, steadying himself by a chnlr.
"Oh, slon't trouble," protested Gavin, alarmed to see how much the
pain had weakened him, "I can
come again."
"They are here." said Richard.  Tie1
had    unlocked   the  safe,  uml  handed;
the parcel  of bonds to Oavin,     who
turned it ovor mechanically, noticing |
that they were neatly done up in the i
lawyer's usual methodical  manner-
tied    round    with red tape and conspicuously labeled   "Indigent  Gentlewomen's Fund"—also that some  care-;
loss  person  had  splashed  them  with ;
Ink  in a  way thut    6eemed  vaguely j
familiar.
"Of course it you wish it wc can
sell out to-morrow," continued
Twiss, "but it seems a pity. Hold
them for a time, at any rate. They
ure rising steadily, und safe to go
higher "
"Well—perhaps—" Gavin half assented
The lawyer returned the bonds to
his safe, aud  seated himself again.
"I think we are lucky to get tbem
at the price," In* said wearily "We
have shared three per conl on them
since yesterday." His voice became
faint "1 shall have to asJ< vou to
go. after ull, Mr. Wishart. 1 am
not lit for moro work just now."
Oavin  left at once.
On his way home, it occurred to
him that, In the circumstances, it
might not be very long before the
Wishart Charitable Funds Were
transferred to Mr. Claverton's management: but ho dismissed the
thought hastily. He felt unaccountably remorseful because he bud distrusted such a sufferer even for a
few minutes. The ugoni/.ed look in
the poor man's fuce had made a most
painful Impression on him. He
could not rid himself of the remembrance; it. haunted bim the whole

fsiunsi himself sitting bolt upright in bed — strangely wide
awake, overy nerve quivering, every
faculty on the alert. He looked
down at his bands half expecting to
lind them full of papers: for he had
been dreaming of his interview with
the lawyer and sif the parcel splashed
by ink which, in his dream, had
poured over the paper in a rude re-
gemblance to a map of the Park Continent. Siislils'tily the explanation
Bashed upon him. "1 have seen that
parcel liefore," lie cried aloud. "1
bad it in my hands in Twiss' ofliee,
three months au.s I could swear to
the sha|* of the stain, oven to tho
smaller blot thut busked like Madagascar. Did Twiss u'ive them to me
bv mist ake? No, for they wore labeled tsi-sluy us securities for the Indigent Fund. Three months ugo whom
lie lirst shewed them io me, they
were Prisoners' Aid securltiea. Very
queer, to say iho least of it. What
can it mean?"
He aji,'enled t'l the darkness: und
when his voice ceased, it seemesl 10
him that thc darkness surged with
sounds which carried confusion into
ins brain. The extraordinarily vivid
impression with which lio had.awakened, was clean gone from him. He
pressed Iiis hands against his eyes

peiirunco of lhe bonds—he co ill see

but the most trivial iv.'iiis of the
day crowded Into his mind, making
consistent thought impossible.
"I shall see theni again. I shnll

the .'.cm of (lowers.     Two of tho inmates   of   Hie   .Manse,   found   the   time
pass ull loo quickly. They tool-
long walks to favorite and almost
forgotten haunts. Thoy paid long
visits to various old folks In the village, who hud known John Cayford
from his boyhood, and who insist..*d
an his partaking of tea and scones
and Ayrshire cheese, while they told
hint of relatives of their own in Australia and produced sundry Well
worn Is'lters from abroad fsir his Inspection. Mary was his constant
companion, ready at any hour for
any exclusion he liked to propose.
Together they sailed out to Ailsu
Craig, and walks-si to l.endal Foot,
and revisited all the places that hud
been dear to Alice. Kale was occasionally asked to join them, but she
excused herself, she wus too busy,
she said. Shu was busy: not only
in waging war against material
foes, (for it pleased her at this particular period to have tho Manse
thoroughly cleaned from attic to
basement—a proceeding which bewildered her uncle, wearied herself,
unsl gave John and Mary every reason to remain out of doors,) but
also in waging war against certain
devils who took up their abode in
her heart, and refused, for the time
being, to be driven out.
Kate—whose soul had so lately
been thrilled to its depths by tho
most overpowering und inspiring
emotion she hud ever experienced, so
that, for a brief space, she seemed
to herself to have attained to the
knowledge of all good—had now attained to the knowledge of much
evil; was, in fact, a prey to jealousy, anger, hatred even. Throughout the day, she iserformed
such miracles of energy, that the
stolid llella was amazed at her mistress' ardor; and at night, she sank
wearied upon her bed, to be tormented through Ion*,' hours by thoughts
which sho had not the strength to
banish. Sho would rise in the morning, heavy eyed and lanquid, with
that numbness and apathy about her
heart, which is pleasure in comparison with the pain of feeling; it did
not, unfortunately, outlast the
breakfast hour, The kindly sun tanned her cheeks to mask her pallor;
but nothing could di9guisc the un-
romantic fact that her temper suffered.
"I wish some one would go to
Raeden, for me," said Mr. FerriB one
morning. "There is a message I want
taken to your old friend Morison the
weaver, Kate; I should like him to
have it to.day."
No one responded to this appeal;
Kate, to whom it was more particularly addressed, studisnl the contents
of her coffee cup intently. Tiaeden was
a village five miles distant, the road
to it was dusty, shadeless, and uninteresting; Kate not Infrequently went
there, but to-day she felt weary and
unequal to the walk. Mary glanced
hesitatingly at her cousin, and then
spoke.
"I am so sorry, Uncle, that I have
promised to lunch at Doune Hoiisi.
With John. I am afraid th.'s-e would
not be time to do both, unless indeed, I left directly after lunch; then
I might manage it."
"Why, Mary," said John, "Doune
House must be two miles in the opposite direction. You could not walk
so f„.r."
"Well then." continued Mary, anxious to solve the difficulty, "suppose
I go to Itaeden instead of Dtiune
House. You must, go there, John,
but the Craigs can see me at any
time. I don't believe they would
mind."
"Certainly I should mind. Will tomorrow do, Mr. Ferris? we can go
for you then. Even if Mary were to
break her engagement, llaeden is too
far for her to walk there alone; don't
you agree with me Kate?"
Kate bad listened apathetically to
tho conversation; she did not. care,
sho told herself, how they sett lest the
mutter. This direct appeal affected
her strangely. Why should John apply to her, to sanction his own plans
—to acquiesce with the absurd consideration With which Mary was
treated? She (lashed a quick glance
al. him from her dark eves, nntl con-
veyed in her tone all the sarcasm at
her rnmmund, as she answered. "De-
oidedly I agree with you. Considering
Marys age, it is quite out of the
question fur her to walk five miles
along a country road in broad daylight, without a companion. I have
tho goosl fortune to be three years
older, f'ive ine your message, Uncle,
I can take it this afternoon."
Sho hntl the satisfaction to see
amazed looks exchanged by her companions, and she struggled desperately with an inclination to cry.
"Oh Kate, dear," exclaimed Alary,
herself almost in teurs, "do let me
go for you. or else, say that I may
go with you."
'"thanks," rejoined Knto. icily,
"there is no need to niter any ar-
Fangments, 1 shall enjoy tho walk. I
prefer to bo alone "
After thla, the subject was dropped.
Kate went to itaeden in slue Course,
Wrestled With her enemies all lhe
way, and got the better of them be-
foiB! her return.
John dismissed this little episode
from his mind, with the reflection
that Kato must be a most unsympathetic companion for Mary; but biter
in tho day, It recurred to him. He
and Mury, had accustomed themselves
to end every dny with a si roll along
tho solitary sea shore They had a
favorite re-ting plnce among the
rocks, and samo to it evening after
evening, to watch the sun Bulk down
behind the sea while the grey twilight crept across the sky. This evening, while they sal there, Mary

On the cornerstone of tlmt fabric

Cyril Moore, lawyer, was not noted
for the suavity of his manner nor the
mildness of his glance. Both were unusually severe this morning, and he
was not Inclined to deal gently with
bis disturber. He hud been interrupted
In the consideration of nu Important
matter, but Dorothy Dale's brown eyes
never flinched before his deep set gray
ones.
"Please, may 1 talk to you a few
minutes?" she asked lu her soft little
voice.
"I am very busy," he returned, "and
gave orders that I was not to be disturbed."
"The elevator boy showed mo your
office, aud there was no one In the other room, and so I came In," suid Dorothy.
The lawyer made au Impatient movement mentally resolving upon the censure which Wilson should receive for
leaving the entrance to the otlice unguarded.
Two little red spots hud crept Into
Dorothy's face, but she went on bravely:
"You see," she began, "I"—
The lawyer again moved Impatiently
nnd frowned, but his smnll visitor persisted.
"It Is so Important, you see." There
wns a keen uote of anxiety in her
voice, but the brown eyes never wavered. And what was there iu their
depths which brought to the lawyer's
mind a vague memory and made bim
look nt bis visitor with a stirring of Interest, then hesitate nnd finally push
aside the papers over which tie had
been absorbed and say shortly:
"What Is lt? I can give you u few
mluutes."
"Oh, thank yon," snld Dorothy politely. "It Is sbout thnt position In the
Hilton school."
Cyril stared In surprise. What could
tbls little, old fashioned girl have to
say about thut? It would be Interesting to know. He pushed bis papers
farther away and leaned back in bis
seat.
"Sit down," he snld, pointing to a
chair. Dorothy obeyed with a grave
"Thank you," settllug herself comfortably in tbe chair which was so high
that her feet were quite u distance
from tlie ground. Her blue felt sailor
hat was pushed buck on her bead, nnd
several soft brown rings of her hair
had found tbelr w-uy to iter forehead
She lifted ber clear eyes to the lawyer,
nnd again their depths vaguely stirred
his heart.
"You see, auntie lost nl) ber money
lu Boston, and so we hnd to come bere
to live. Auntie owns a little house here,
and she says thut is better thun nothing. And yesterday Mrs. Prudcu told
her they wanted a teacher in tbat
school and that auntie must try to get
it right nway."
"Oh, indeed," ejaculated Cyril.
"You see." she went on In a confidential tone, "auntie knows n lot of tilings
She belonged to ever so many clubs iu
Boston. Every one says Unit sbe is so
clever."
Dorothy paused to seo If the lawyer
wns properly impressed with tbe im
portance of her mint's acquirements.
"Yes," said Cyril politely.
"Mrs. Prudeu told ntintie that you
could let her teach thut school, but
Inst evening a letter came from Mr.
White In Boston to say auntie must
come to see him right off. You see, he
attends to ull of her business. So sue
had to go on tbe early train this morn
ing." Here Dorothy stopped, out of
breath.
Cyril uttered nn interrogative "Yes."
Dorothy smiled up at blm, "And 1
was ufrnid she might bo too late when
she came back, nnd then It will be
such a nice surprise for her wben she
does come bnck for me to tell her I
enme to see you about it"
"Then she doesn't know what you
ore doing?" queried Cyril.
"Oh, no.  I waited till she was gone."
"Where do you live?" questioned
Cyril.
"Over on Pose Crescent"
The lawyer did not recognize the lo-
cnlity, but there hud been many
changes in the old town during those
years In which he hud beeu nbseiit
fin ui it
"Auntie will be s splendid teacher.
You see, she's so sweet. Won't you
please try her?"
In her eagerness Dorothy arose and
stood beside Cyril, placing her hand In
its woolen mitten on Iiis nrm.
The little action thrilled blm. a sudden realization of tlie loneliness of his
life smote him, nnd again (he child's
brown eyes awoke thnt memory.
"Please, won't you?*' urged Dorothy,
with au unconscious pressure of Ills
mm.
Cyril looked down Into the eager
fuce with nn expression In his own
thut few bad seen tbere during Inter
yeurs.
"I'll see whnt I ean do. I must know
more of her qunlltlcntlons. I iiieiiu,"
he explained kindly, "If she knows nil
tbe things that the person who tenches
lu that school must know I'll do my
best"
"Oh, thnnk yon. I'll go now." Doro
tby slipped off ttip mitten nnd gravely
teudered ber bund to the lawyer. He
rose nnd bowed over It with more ceremony than be hnd for muny yenrs
shown any other member of her sex.
Dorothy flushed a confiding smile nt
htm und tripped Jauntily awuy through
the outer oltlee, much to the surprise
of Wilson, who wus now nt bis post.
WUsM was still more surprised thut
afternoon wben on going Into tbe law
yor's private room ho found Mm putting his dook In ordor and was waved
„wav   with:   "Don't   bother  nie   willi
tbat now, it's such n Hue nfuTiioon
think I'll take U walk und look at that
Dorren property."
Wilson went buck to his desk, lie
furtively watched the lawyer as the
latter put on overcoat hut and gloves.
It was the tlrst time within his knowledge lhat Cyril hud set aside an iiupor
taut matter. What had happened?
The lawyer wulkeil ou witb rapid
stride. Tbere wus in the air u sugges
Hon of the spring which was not yet
neiir.
On the corner tin organ grinder was
playing popular nlrs. A little farther
on n (lower vender wns offering bouquets of violets for sule. The scent
of the flowers llouts'd up to hlin, und
the memories awakened earlier lu the
dny by a pair of childish eyes were
nguln stirred. Cyril bought one of the
fragrant purple clusters, fastening It
In the lnpel of his eont with a smile.
When had he done such n thing?
As he walked nlong his glance fell
upon n lamppost bearing the name
"Rose Crescent."
A sudden remembrance enuie to him
of his little visitor or the morning,
That wns where she had said she
lived. lie recalled Ills promise to do
what he could for her tiunt. Why not
call upon her and lind out her tltuess
for the position? Ile paused to glUUCS
up and down the street
But thc child had not told him her
aunt's mime or their number. Then lt
was useless to consider It further.
Still be would like to please that Child.
He wus walking on wheu he heard
u flying of small feet bell lud him and
bis name called. He turned around to
see his little visitor of the morning.
"Oh." she exclaimed. ''1 was at tbe
window and saw you passing. 1
thought perhaps you were coming to
see us."
"Well," snid Cyril, smiling, "you did
not tell me your number."
"1   forgot,"   she   laughed,     "It's   tn
here."    Tliey had been walking back,
and  now  she stopped  In   front  of  n
modest house stniuling back from the
I street
"Come In," she said. "Auntie's Just
! got home. I didn't tell her about It yet."
! Cyril followed her up the garden
path and into the house. She led hlm
I into a room opening off n small hall
I A lady seated before an open tire rose
I nt Iiis entrance. She was not very
| young, and she was very sweet look*
' lug. with great brown eyes.
"Madam," began Cyril, "I"—
He bioko off abruptly, looked bewildered, then ejaculated, "Rebecca Pow*
ers—you!"
"Cyril:  Why"-
"Yoii ss'e. auntie, I went to ss*e Mr.
Moore ubout that school. I Was afraid
you'd be too late, and"- began Dorothy.
But neither her it nut nor the lawyer
seemed to bear her. Tbe latter was
saying. "She lias eyes like yours."
"You see, auntie," began Dorothy
Once more, but Stopped ns Cyril spoke
again. "To find you bere!" His face
was flushed, and Ids eyes were shining. There was a bright color in the
cheeks of Dorothy's aunt too. Dorothy
was looking ut her In surprise. Why,
she knew Mr. Moore. Then she would
surely get that school.
"Are you still Rebecca Powers?
Wben I saw you last, 1 thought that
yon were going to marry"—
Miss Powers Interrupted blm quietly.
"You were mistaken, but 1 remember
yon bad u bad ha bit lu those days of
Jumping ut conclusions."
"'1 hai isiie hus cost me dear—all these
lonely years." he said.
He took the bunch of violets from
his coat, "i remember you were always fond of violets, Rebecca, Are you
still'.'" He held Hie fragrant blossoms
toward her, and Miss Powers, after a
glance Into his fnee, took them from
his hand. She lit hi tbem to inr lips a
moment, then fastened them ears fully
In her bosom.
Dorothy was becoming Impatient'
but to her great amazement Just then
Cyril stooped down uud kissed her
mint
Then he turned to Dorothy. "I nm
going to nsk your mint to take charge
of one pupil." be said—"one who needs
tier very much."
"One pupil!" exclaimed Dorothy,
"Why, I"-
But ugain tail her her mint nor the
lawyer seemed lo henr her

Only those who hsive suffered from
the pangs of rht'iimutisiii know how
much agony the sufferer bus ul times
: to endure. The symptoms often vary,
but among tbem will be found acute
pains in the muscles und joints, tIk*
latter sometimes much swollen.    At
times the patient, is unable to dress
himself, mid tha slightest Jar ring
sound aggravates the pain. Liniments and outward applications cannot possibly cure rheumatism ; lt
must be treated through the blood,
and I'or this purpose there is no medicine yet discovered run equal Dr
Williams' I'ink Tills. When given a
fair trial theso pills ncVer fail to
cure even the most Stubborn cases oi

of L'Avenir du Nord, offers Strong
proof of tlie value of Dr. Williams'
I'ink l'ills in cases of this kind. Mi
Rochette says:—"Kor nearly throe
years I wus a great sufferer from
rheumatism. The pains si's*:ned at
times to affect every joint, anil the

Canada's drink bill is yearly increasing. So are tho St. Andrew's societies.
The department of mines claini the
mineral output of the province will
show a 25 per cent increase for 1902.
Every railroad grafter in the country, big and little, is gathering at Victoria. Where the buzzards assemble
there must lie picking in sight.
Wonder how it was the American
tariff framers overlooked zinc? Blocan
mineowners for onee may be deemed
fortunate. For the nonce they can
smile at the smelter trust, which Ixit-
tled up their lead.
It takes an exceptionally hard blow
to entirely kill the Slocan. Lead may
decline and silver drop into the sump,
but it has still zinc to fall liack on and
it will prove tbe salvation of the camp.
Blessed are the zinc owners,
The Grand Trunk railway, like the
other professional paupers in the transportation biusine-is, is seeking huge
subsidies for its proposed Pacific extension. Don't give them a blooming
thing. Let the government extend
the Intercolonial.
Reading between the lines of an article in last Saturday's Tribune, the
fact becomes apparent that John
Houston's support in the legislature
will not be with the Prior government.
John says the people want party politics and a general election without
further dallying.    John's right there.
The Slocan should hereafter celebrate the American thauksgiving day.
It was on that day word was received
of the Washington ruling admitting
zinc free into the United States. That
ruling means more to the camp than
a bumper harvest on the prairies.
Grain is good, but to a hard hit silver-
lead camp zinc is better.
Ex-Lieutenant Governor Mclnnes is
to contest the Burrard constituency
for the Commons in the interests of
the Progressive party. As an old-time
Liberal he denounces the Lilscral
party as recreant to their promises
aud the trust reposed in theni. They
have failed to keep the Mongolians
out of British Columbia and s*stnlilish
a mint, The doctor says the Grits are
not to lx* trusted.    He should know.
Hon.  Denis  Murphy's  resignation
has lieen a severe blow to the Prii r
government and  they are up against
an apparently Insurmountable dilli
ctilty, as indicative of the  feeling of
the electorate of the province. Wullii
Mclnnes has taken Murphy's place tv
secretary, but there is no one in sight
to fill Mile's shoes. Capable politicians assert the government will hav<
but a short life, and that a general
election oo party lines must eventuate
