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.

A portion of the ore went forward, but $7 per ton more profit thnn if the ore were sent to Antwerp.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Richard sat With his head bent forv aid. reatlnu on bis hands; as* t.uvin approuched ho looked up—Ills face wus grey, was agonised, Ins lips twitched with puin.

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 day through, ami wus with him at night when he dropped off to sleep. In the middle of the night, he 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?

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 in the eilort to recall the exact r.p- peiirunco of lhe bonds—he co ill see nothing but Richard's face, .list.inc.1 with pain.

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.

Windsor > • eAsWTVVVV./Ti/VVVWTV^/rVV o 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 AFTER THREE YEARS MR. JOSEPH ROCHBTTB RELEASED FROM RHEUMATISM.

BWlTOlUAI. CKOrPINUS. 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 After one short blissful week ol cabinet Influence and dignity, lion Denis Murphy funked and resigned his position as minister of education and provincial seeretary. Denis was hasty iu accepting the position, but he was precipitous in throwing lt up, He found upon consulting his constat uents that they did not approve of the company he kept as a minister and, rather than court certain defeat in a bye-election, he resigned, which WW the most sensible thing ho could do He says now that he has quit politic*! forever.

Sainton's ore shipments last week totalled 125 tons. That looks like the days of old. Higher prices for loj*s and wages hnve forced coast shingles up 10 cents a thousand.

The freighters were made happy. Sunday's snowstorm was a severe oue on tlu* railways. Telegraph wires also were prostrated in every direction. Rev. Dr. Herdman. superintendent of Pn sbvterian missions, arrived in Wednesday eve to pay an official visit to Knox church. A little talk is arising over the approaching municipal election.
