The Chapleau mine, on Lemon creek, ii onee more to the front in a legal sense, as the old creditors,' to- gather with a few new ones, have started action to havo a receiver appointed. John Cholditch & Co., Nelson, are the movers in the action, but thev are supported by the* other creditors. Originally the property owed about $90,000, out payments .since made reduced that amount close to 110,000. Repeated promises of settlement have since been made, but not fulfilled. Ever since the whut down two men and a couple of horses Lave been kept, ou the payroll, but the wages and supply account have not been met, s*o there will be another $2000 added to the old debts. Last year a new company was floated in London nnd Ptiris by Ernest Mansfield to take over the Chapleau ami Gamp Mansfield propel tie:;, but it is now doubted if a real transfer of the claims took place, the idea prevailing that a bold bluff was run to island off the creditors. Judgments were secured against the Chapleau company, so it is not expected there will he much trouble in gaining the siesirod end nt present. H. S. Lcunie. of Kelson, was the solicitor for the old company, but he ha** been superceded by S. S. Taylor, who last week di< charged the men nt the mine, but did not pay them anv wages. Lennie hns iuini-d forces with the other creditors for the payment of his claim:-. J. G. McCallum aud W. H.

If from the first i the Le Roi hast received fair pl'ty, it i would today be the best mine in British Columbia."

CHAPTER X. Kato appeared next. morning with a lu res.** apron tied over her dress, suggestive of work in prospect: .lolin nut iced it at once, his thoughts hnd not lieen so entirely diverted from its wearer ns she supposed. "Now Kn,te," lis* exclaimed,, "you need not think that you will be allowed to knock yourself Dp trguin, just, immediately' Vmi are to walk wiih me to Qarlolgh; we shall lunch inn, and meet Mary at to do," said Kate then: we start nt at tin* old the Station." "1 hnve work hesitnl Ihgly, "It must wait twelve "' Mr. f'erris looked * rather bewildered when this arrangement was explained to" him He had an Indefih- ite idea that things were not going rightly, 'When had Kate absented herself from her work on two consecutive days before? "If it is only a question of meeting Mary," he said, "I can save you the trouble, . J have a christening at Main's of Overton, this afternoon, and 1 can leave word,, as; I drive past the station, thut MaT.v is to wait there till I come for her." "But it is more than a question of meeting Mary, Mr. Ferris. Kate will stop indoors the whole day, if some one does not make her go out.," "Very well, very well: let her please herself." Kate seemed undecided, but at twelve o'clock, she '"ppearcd. cauip- ped far a walk." Life at Carleigh wus rather exciting than otherwise. There was an element of uncertainty about it, due to the fact' that the railway lino was doubled just outside the station, to permit the* train fnmi the North,' to pass the trufn from the South. Whichever came in first, had to retire to the siding to wait for the nlher—it was never quite certain which would come in lirst. Three times .a duy. for fifteen or twenty minutes before ihe trains were "*'-'- pocted" the station master, and tho porter met to discuss probabilities, stimulated occasionally by questions from a passenger or a passing laborer: the detaining effects of various fairs, markets, ami holidays were canvassed, while I.arron dilated upon the semi-burlinric days before thc line was doubled. Barron was fully conscious of the importance of his position. The privilege and responsibility of receiving two trains In the station at the same time, does not fall to the lot of every station master—he cherished a pharisaic gratitude that ho was not as were tho station masters of I'lenesslo and Kirkton. He had his griefs. It was a positive pain to him to see the mail train dash disdainfully past Oarleigh: in moments of great exultation ho imagined himself detaining the mail' train foi; two or three minutes on the siding. . Otner subjects than tho vugarios of railway trains, were discussed on the station platform. Barron, as an elder of .the church, wus an authority on doctrinal points; and, as the first to receive the weekly paper which . was shared by a select few of the village, he wus frequently applied to for information regarding.the doings of the outer world. The information given, he interspersed so freely with comments 'pf- his own, that to tho Garlelglv-mind it r0ma.ln.2d uncertain whether Mr. Gladstone or Barron was responsible for the dictum that Home Rifle wus thi; only right treatment for,the trotter disturbances and the Irish difficulties—evils which were directly attributable --to. Opg- inal Sin-aggravated, by Tory obstinacy. , "•'•' * * .; . "Which train'do you'expert lirifl I to-dny, Mr.. Barron?" inquired K,a,tc,,| as she nndjier companion came-up-' on the "plat(o,rni. , ..f . j The station master held Tip-his hand to command silence, assumed an intent ^expression, hnd renin Inert' rigid for iii. 'few moments daring' which the porter struggled With . a desire to clear Ijis throats. At last Barron's . features' lelnxed,—''.Sho'*s whiislin,' Glenesslcl" he announced.. , "Oh. t'hu'South* traiii f %0 '-shall' have to wait some minutes, John." They Wandered up and down the platform, pending the arrival of tlie South train, which cumc in presently and was, relegated to ..tho siding alter thc guard, the engine driver, ainl Barron had indulged In a le*-*uroly conversation." Then- the Nor'h *.rain came flying round a distant starve at full speedy as though it had not the rcni'otest' in'tcntion. of stopping anywhere: suddenly tlie driver scorned to realize what was expected ot him, steam' -was turned ofl, the brakes .applied, and __the train brought.violently to a stand-still in front of .t|ie .phjctforui. ,( ' ( Mary alighted.

"Have.;. yaujuisbod us?',' returned Kato nervpuslv.

Mary's gay humour infi-cted her company ions: she 'questioned them about their doings,. enlighTened them as to her own, nnd found material for laughter in everything that wns snid. lYI'ttTn they were within half a mile of tho Manse, they were overtaken by Mr. Ferris, who stopped driving as ho reached them. "Lot mo go the rest of the way with you, Uncle," cried Mary. "Como then, you Witch, hero ,aro the reins. Is it only four days since you left'us?" She took her'seat, and leaned forward to kiss him. "Yes," she suid slowly, "only four days: but it seems more liko a year." "So.I think, child; I have missed you." Sho waved her hand to the others, and 'drove away. "Mary is like sunshine!" exclaimed Kate involuntarily. John turned to her at once. . "Ah," you feel that too, Knte. I cannot Imagine how you anil Mr. Ferris get on when she is awuy for any length of time." "We survive " "Yes, of course: but what a difference It must, mnko," "People cannot always have sunshine," said Kate shortly. "Knte, 1 know what you must, be thinking of. I must seem very Selfish . to you: but remember thai, l have had to do without her for seven years, anil you have hail her all that timo. It is my turn now." Kato became suddenly breathless: an aching chill stole over her, she seemed to herself to bo drifting olT into distance, and yet she was distinctly conscious of the roughness of the ground beneath her feet. She heard a vofco, that seemed to come from a long way olf, say, "You know what I want, Kate; wish me well," and she heard another voice, surely not her own, respond, "I huve always wished your happiness with all my heart." Tho rest of the walk was a blank. After tea, it was not suggested that open air exercise would be advisable for Kate.. John and Mnry found their way outside as usual, and turned toward tho rocks. ."Not a word, John, until we are there, and then I am going to speak first," cried Mary. "Bo let us walk as fast as ever 'we can." "Certainly," he said, bewildered by her haste. The.v reached the rocks, and the exceeding • beauty of thc scene spread before, them, held theni silent fsir a littlo. . | . "It - la just aa I "hoped it would, be," sighed Mary, with tightly clasped hands, "such wonderful color* ana the- sea looking so happy, and Arran quite clear Why do you look at s\iran like that, John? Boos it •remind yoii of something?" "* "lt makes me think of Grand Canary-on-an infinitely small scale,'' he answered slowly, "and that reminds me'of—" . . "Of what?" "Oh, no matter: something I had almost forgotten. We did not come here to speak of that." "Of Grand ("unary? no, Indeed I John, T hnve been so impatient for the evening to come." "mi have I. Mury." He helsl out his hands to her, anil she put her own within them, speaking eagerly: "I made up my mind that you should bo the first to know. I would Bot tell any one, not even Kate, before you. You are so dear, and good, and kind to me; you will be so glad when you h'*ar what I huve to tell. It only happened yesterday. I am gong to bo married, John." His lingers closed over hers with a tight grip, so that sho winced with pain. • "1 don't understand you. Say that again." "Ah, I don't wonder you cannot understand,' I can hardly believe it myself.

She. crouched down oo the rocks, and Jooked at tho bunds that still ached with the rough treatment' they had rorelvcd; the stght of thc dark finger marks on them seemed, somehow, to accentu- ato her disappointment. In spite ot herself, she sobbed aloud. John came back to her. instantly. - "Don't cry, Mary. Dear, I can't bear to seo you cry1. What Is the matter?" ' *'6h, T don't know.

Sho rose at once, struck her foot against a stoue, nnd almost fell, Instantly ho had lifted her, and carried her to tho road. There he stood, holding her hands In his, and speaking rapidly. "I am to blame. I had no right to use harsh words, and blind your eyes with tears so that you could not see tho way. And the rocks are too rough for your feet; you should have none but smooth places to walk on, if I—I Mary, don't you understand?

Long before Mary's return to the Manse, Kate had .gono to her room. A headache, Which existed to a small extent and was presently to be intensified, wus her excuse for retiring early. Truth to tell, she shrank from Mary's confidences; to weep with the mournful seemed far easier ln tho present circumstances than to rejoico with the Joyful. She paced up and down her room, starting at every sound, miserable with apprehension when she hoard footsteps in her neighborhood. An hour passed; and she was beginning to reckon upon being undisturbed that night, when her door was gently pushed open, and a low voice called, "Kate!" "Come In, Mary." "I was afraid you might be asleep, dear. I am so sorry about your poor head, is it very bad?" "It has been worse." "Will it hurt you if I come in and talk a little?" "Xo." Mary Stole, across the room to the window where her cousin stood, nnd lenns'd her head against Kate's shoulder. 'I wish you would kiss me,'' she said' Kato stooped down to give the required caress. "Whut does that prelude, Mary?" "Oh, you don't often kiss me, you know, ami to-night I want to feel that you love me. Such a wonderful thing has happened!" "I suppose I know what it is." "You can't, I am sure; you would never guess it. It is thc most unlikely thing you can think of. to huve happened to mo! If he hnd fallen In lovo with you, now, I should not havo been at all surprised; you are so clever and sensible." "So I am to understand that some ono bus I'allon in love with ymi." "Yes. dear," Mary raisesl her head nnd whispered in Kate's ear — "I am engaged to, bo married!" Kale kissed her again. "I hope you will be very happy, Mary. You will have a good husband." "Indeed I shall, far better than I deserve! And if you knew him as 'well as I do, you would be as astonished ns I am. that ho cares for me; but you will see him to-morrow. I havo told him a great deal,' about you, and he wants to know' you better. Ho could not quite remember what you are like, but then he has only seen vou twice." "Only seen me twice!" "I ms-ant you to be the second to hear about it," pursued Mary eagerly; "don't bo vexed with me because I told I'ncle before you Y'ou seo, I found him in the purlor ufter I came back from telling John, so I just told him " " 'Telling John!'

"Hcally-you are very stupid 1o- Bight," cried Mary half petulantly "I have to keep on explaining, and ovplaining! Do . try to understand Kate, I am going to be married to Gavin Wishart." Kate leaned against the window for support; her mind was in hopeless confusion, she wished she could Steady it as easily as she steadied hersolf, "What did he say?" she usked at length. "Gavin?

And William Henry makes this statement concerning Dodd's Kidney Pills, because he hus tested Dodd's Kidney Pills thoroughly, because he has given Dodd's Kidney Pills the most thorough and practical of all tests, he has used Dodd'a Kidney Pills himself for Kidney Trouble, and has been cured by them. Nor la this eminent Englishman mild in his expressions of the satisfaction he feels at the result produced by this remedy. "Dodd's Kidney Pills is certainly a wonderful remedy," he declares.

The old saying that "praise to tin* face is open disgrace" ls still nrmly believed by some people. A young woman who was brought up by her New England grandmother, a notable housekeeper and example of thrift, says that the adage waa a household guide ln her family.

Her heart best high with the hope of a word of commendation as sbe sat ln the kitchen doorway waiting for her grandmother's return.

Marked by Palo Faces, Heart Palpitation Loss of Appetite and Oenaral Lassltnda —How to Overoome Thla Condition. After babyhood, the most perilous time in a young girl's life is when she is just entering womanhood. It is then that she is subject to head- nihos, dizziness, heart palpitation, feeble appetite, and. bloodless cheeks and lips. This condition muy easily develop into consumption, anil to prevent this—tn keep the young girl in good health nnd strength, mothers should insist upon their taking a blood making tonic, such us lir. Williiuns' I'ink l'ills. Mrs. Henry Mclntyre, l'ort Dalliousie, Ont,, gives sound advice to other mothers In cases ol this kind. She say s :— "About, three years, ago the health of my daughter, Bertha, began to fall, she grew weak and seemed1 unable to stand the Iras.i exertion, Sh'o suffered fropi distressing headaches und fainting fits; her appetite . left her and she lust llesh. I spent miiili money on medicines, but they did not help her. Then 1 took her to a doctor, and although bis treatment was persisted In for a lung time, she seemed to be growing worse, and l began to fear she was going Into Consumption. Then I took her to a specialist, but his treatment wns likewise unsuccessful. Finally upon the advice of u lady friend, a doctor practising in Chicago, Bertha began using Dr. Williiuns' I'ink l'ills. and before long there wns a decided Improvement in her condition, and by lhe time she had taken nine boxes she was once more enjoying the best of health and had gained fifteen pounds' in weight. I would strongly advise all similar sufferers to give Dr. Williams' I'ink Pills a fnir trial, as her cose scorned ns hops-less as could be." All weak nnd ailing gills und women, sufferers from backache, headaches, indisposition to work or exercise, who show by their pule and sallow cheeks thnt the.v are in -ill health will find prompt relief, bright eyes, rosy cheeks anil active health in a fnir use of Dr. Williams' I'ink Pills. Voir can obtain these pills from any medicine dealer or by mail, postpaid, at 50c. n box or six boxes for 12.50 hy writing direct to the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Miss AgneSS Laut, author of "Lords of the North," contributes an excellent article on the Hudson's Bay Company in Prank Leslie's I'opulur Monthly for November, .in'tlio course ,.f which she says—When "sin Indian arrives to trade at a Hudson's Bay post, furs in the pack must'be sort-, ed, silver fox worth five hundred dollars separated from cross fox and blue and white worth from ten dollars down, according to quality, and from common red! fox, .worth less. Twenty years ago it was no unusual thing for tho Hudson's Bay Company fsi send • to England yearly 10,000 cross fox skin!-, 7,000 blue, 100.000 red. half a dozen silver. Few wolf skins ure in the trapper's pack, unless particularly line specimens of (jrown arctic and white arctic, bought as a curiosity, and not for value ns skins. Against the wolf the trapper wages war as against .a poet that destroys other game, and not for'its skin.. Next* to- muskrat, Ih'. most plentiful fur will" be that of the rnhbit or. varying . hs>rc.
