Uhal i.p.-ct kuti', this morning?" he OBKed, as the outcome of these rejections. "Uh, John, we ure to blame," cried Mary, lo,\al to Kute. "1 don't Know exactly what we could have done, but we ought to huve done something I hiue felt vexed about it all day. Knte wus too tired for such a long walk: to-night, she looks us though she could scarcely stand, ^he hns been doing ever so much, this week, and 1 have not helped her at all, 'there isn't much that I can do, but I might hnve offered to wash the china in the druwingroom, the other day, instead of going with you to Ailsu Craig. 1 only thought ol it after we had sturted." "Roally, Mary, I don't see why you should feel bound to assist, whenever Kate chooses to make work." "Well," admitted Mary, with a gay laugh, "I do not know why the house is being turned ujiside down just now. It does not seem long since it was done Inst time. Still, 1 never do anything but enjoy myself. Do you know, John, it sometimes frightens me to think how happy my life hns been. Kate has a great many worries: almost every one I know has hnd trouble of some kind X have had none. Uo you think it is all coming?" The eyes she raised to his had a look of terror in litem. "No, dear," he said gently. "Why should it come? If I can keep tt awuy from you, it shall never touch you, Mary." "Vou! Ah, but you will be going away again. When you are gone, I menu to write to you. 1 shall send you a letter once a month: you won't mind if they are rather stupid? Kate writes clever letters, but 1 don't." "Mary, I want to speak to you about the future." "Not to-night, John," she Interrupted hastily. "I hate lo think of what is coming. This has been such a nice evening, don't let us be gloomy and spoil it all. The 'future' means, you out in Australia, and I—I don't know whero! No, no: we will not speak of lt." "But, dear, you are going away to-morrow." "Only for four days." "I wish you were not going, Mnry." "Oh, I must. I promised Undo Forester, ever so long ago, that I would spend his birthday with him. 1 shall be back on Tuesday." "Well then, Mary, make a bargain with me. On Tuesday night, we are to come out here, nnd discuss our future. Promise that, and I will not speak about it now." "Very well, if you wish it," she assented; "though why you choose to think about such disagreeable sub- jests, I don't know. Do listen, John, thoso waves are laughing." The.v walked hoinn together in silence: he, intent on the thought of Tuesday. It was not so very far ofl —only four days How inexpressibly dear to him Mary had becomet The time they had spent together, had been more full of happiness than he had imagined possible; and this wae merely a foretaste of what the future held. Always Mary should be thus perfectly happy, sheltered by his care from tho remotest approach of trouble or distress; always hs should find perfect huppiness, in thus caring for, and worshipping her. He recalled Mr. Ferris' commendations of Kate, nnd smiled — Kate was so unworthy to bo mentioned in the Same breath with her beautiful, simple-minded, pure hearted cousin. Mury, walking by his side, let her tliout hts wander Idly where tboy would, now to the sky, now to the sea, now to the wild flowers on the dyke; her mind pervaded by a vague sense thnt it was a delightful thing to be alive, and that the world was a beautilul place to live in. CHAPTER IX. On Haturduy morning, Mary Forester left I eldrossun to join her cousins. Kute Watched the departure, and suddenly realised that for three duys she would have the undivided companionship of tho man she loved. A wild ie klc sness took possession of h r. John hud gone with Mary to ('arlelgh, antl when he returned — groaning at the thought of tho Irk some time that must be passed ihrough somehow — ho found a lively, brilliant companion awaiting him. Xo one could be more entertaining than Kate when sho chose to exert herself; sho exerted herself now. She mado John laugh all through dinner, nt her droll tiles of the villagers; she revived a hundred reminiscences of doings liefore lie left Scot land; and she wiped out the lust trace of the disagreeable impression she had mush* on him lately, by Baying in a tone balf-jesting. half-appealing. "I have to po on a foraging expedition this nf- ternoon, John; I must buy chickens at a farm two miles away, In spite of jny advanced yeurs ond inflrm «<m- l»r^—1 would like a companion I Will you come if you huve nothing better to do?" IK* assented most willingly. Saturday wus invariable passed by Mr. Ferris in his study, in preparation for tlie next day's service; no one saw him I'rnni morning to night, except Kale, who carried his meals to him on a tray Which she placed beside him Without a disturbing word. To-day, when she brought his dinner, she found him standing before the window, absorbed in though*., lie roused himself at her entrance, oame inward her, hold her face tietween her hands and kissed her forehead solemnly. "God bless .vou, my dear," he snid "you are a gootl girl, Kate, a gootl girl!" "Oh, I am not, I nm not, I'ncle!" protested Knte, choking slsiwn a sob. She flow to her room to mnke ready for her walj<, fetched her marketing basket, and joined her companion. They walked considerably flirt her thnn the farm, jesting and laughing the whole way. It was past the usual tea hour, when they ret lined. Kate made .lohn carry Mr, Ferris' tea to him, she would not go into the study herself: afterwards, they strolled down the garden and seatesl themselves in a shaded nook. It was a breathless evening, the air was laden With the scent of roses and mignonette, not a leaf stirred on the trees, the sea murmured indistinctly. That night nnd the two thnt followed, burned themselves into Kate's memory. She made John talk. Ily adroit questions and suggestions, she drew from him an account of his life in Melbourne and tho whole history of his business difficulties nnd struggles. She could talk well herself, b^it she possessed nlso the rarer gift of making others talk well, nnd of making them feel that they did so. Turing a momentary pause In their conversation, they heard the Church clock strike ten. John looked up in amazement. "How the time hns flown! You are rood company, Knte." "Thanh you," she said, with a sudden rush of color to her fare. "We must go in now, however, Uncle likiss early hours kept on PfturdaV." "The walk to-day has done you gootl. Kate: you begin to look like yourself. What on earth mnkes you slave ns you have bnen doing'' You ought to tnke mure rest: come for a Ion'/ sail With nie on Monday." "I will." sn'd Kate. When she had closed her bedroom door, her vivacity left her. "Now I shull have to pay for all this, I suppose," slie muttered be- tween her teeth. Hut she was mistaken. None of the tormenting thoughts she dreaded came to keep her wakeful for hours. The devils who si ill held their ground arrayed themselves as angels of light; th"y laisl BOOthlng hands about her heart, unsl whispered pease in hi-r ear. "Why torment yourself," they whispered, "why think nt nil? *i ou have kept yourself out of this man's way for two weeks; nsiw that his companionship is thrust upon you, you must entertain him, you cannot help yourself. It is not your doing that this duty falls lo vou. it cannot be a sin to be courteous " — the poison worked, Kate was almost asleep — "Moreover," whispered the devils, "he anil Mary are not engaged. You have absolutely no positive proof that they care for e.ich other. It is only natural tnnt he should feel bound to shew every attention to her for Alices sake, if for no other reason. What are lool.s Worth? Vou may be mistaken. And you have only three days" — Kate sls*pt. On Sunday she sat With John in the old parish church. The manse pew was at the far end of the building, with a high partition in front of it which almost hid the occupants when they were seated. Mr. Ferris preached a remarkable sermon that dny. His instinct hail misled him on some points, but not on others; he hail once thought that John loved Kate, now he knew thai Kate loved John. He understood her impulsive abandonment of herself to hard work. For her sake he accepted, witli mute resignation, all the discomforts attendant on an unnecessary house cleaning. He hud watched her most anxiously throughout tho past fortnight; fathoming the meaning of her weary looks and her little outbursts of temper, and longing to convey some comfort to her. He debated whether he should speak to her directly, but he dared not; Kate's proittl spirit would not tolerate a word from him. Finally after much prayer he decided to preach to her from his pulpit. His sermon from beginning to end, was Intended for Knte ulone—and she knew it. The moment he announced his text, "('.renter love huth no man than this, thai u man lay down h:s life for his friends," Knte divined what had been in his mind vs hen he had kissed her so Solemnly: and though she could not prevent, the words he spoke from piercing her ears, she steeled her heart firmly nguinst them. The stolid congregation was amazed ul the unwonted eloquence with which Mr. Ferris unburdened himself of his fervid utterances; those who wero usually inclined to sleep through the discourse found themselves unaccountabh wide awake; even the consumption of peppermints ceased, except among the very juvenile members of the Hock. He shewed his audience that tho words had a spiritual significance abovo the niatcriul meaning they were accustomed to attach to them; that Hie spiritual lifo to which they referred, wns the life of tove: thnt the life sif love involved self-sacrifice. He shewed how mothers and fathers sacrifice themselves for their children, how husbands utul wives Bncrlllco themselves for eueh other, und how theRo sacrifices are appreciated ami reciprocated in after years; and then he spoke of tho sacrifices made by men for men, and, more often still by women for women- sacrifices unappreciated, unseen perhaps by any human eye, but felt, known, treasured, by the heart of love, by Ood. He admitted the darkness of the path the.v were called upon to tread who made such sacrifices; he did not dony the agony involved, the awful Buffering to be endured, but he painted those, who were, tempted lo shrink from the Buffering and give up the battle, to One who having stilTered temptation Himself, knew how to rescue all tempted ones now. And then, his voice troubling with emotion, the old mun ended his discourse, fell upon his knees, and said. "Hrethern, we will plead with <!od oa behalf of all who ure templed, that their faith fail not. Let us pray!" 'Iho devils in Kate's heart rose up [ undisguised, and prompted her to | pray for line Weather on lhe nior-1 row, "Eh man! volt's a gran' ora toi!" said tho fishermen to one another as thoy left the church. Throughout lhe afternoon. Mr. Ferris contrasted iho subdued galetj, I the gentleness, tho tenderness oven. la Kate's manner now, with tlioi brusquorio she had shown before; he : said to himself gratefully, "Praise bo to God, my sermon has helped the poor child already." John and Kate started early for their sail next duy; there was a tine breeze blowing, but tho weather . looked unsettled. Their boat Hew '■ before the wind, culling through tho | water with a swiftness thul gave: Kato an odd sense of elation; rapid movement of any kind had a fosclna- , tion for her. Sho seemed as though sho had never known care, her eyes wero brilliant, her face glowed with color, her laugh of pure enjoyment was pleasant to hear; John wus astonished at her gaiety. Time (lew as swiftly as the boat. Towards five o'clock, the sky became overcast nn.l tho wind dropped; they were by this time not far from home, they lowered the sail and John took the oars. "Confess now, Kate," he said, ufter looking at her for a little, "all this rest and fresh air has brightened you wonderfully." "Yes," she said, "it makes me sleep better, I am less wakeful at nights." I "Were you very wakeful?" . "Very." "What kept you awake, I wonder?" "The devil." "Kate!" j "Don't look so shocked," she said, With a reckless laugh: "that was a statement, not nn exclamation. Besides, I am not Mary, vou know." "Xo." ! She thought she detected an accent of relief in his voice, and her anger | rose. "People like Mary, draw goodness Into their souls ns readily as they draw air into their lungs; others — don't. It must be easy enough to be good when one gets everything one wants." "Does Mary?" "Yes." "And you?" "Never." "I am sorry, Kate," he said, touched by the bitterness that looked out from her eyes. "What is it that you want now? Cnn't I help you to get it? I would like to?" "Yes, you can;" she said deliberately. "(Jive me the oars first, and look about for the fishing tackle, I put it somewhere. There is bait in that jar over there — or wns, beforo we had luncheon! lt will rain in fivo minutes. What I want just now, is to have my larder stocked with fish." Following her directions, he had excellent sport, for the next half hour. Kate watched him furtively. "It is easy to divert a man's thoughts." sho reflected; "what strange things satisfy men! Uncle used to whip Ihe Stinchar hour afler hour, quite happy, apparently. Suppose a mnn were out fishing, and heard a rumor that his wifo were dead, untl felt, a bite ist the same moment — would he stop to land tho fish before going home, I wonder? I think lie would; especially If Ihere wore nothing but tho fish to remind him of public opinion." "What is lhe problem now, Knte?" said John, turning to look al her. "I was wishing," Bhe sighed. "Ihnt I could find il BOOthlng lo kill fishes." "Vou should lind it BOOthlng to have so many killed for you; we shall never eat all these. Is Ihere a basket here?" "No. line of the men will take them to the house for us." "Change places, ihen, Kate, Good- ness! you uro quite wet; I never noticed how heavily it is raining." fill BS fONTINUED.] "Mamma," suid B-year-old Tommy, "I'll bet my pony can bent you."

Interposition of n Humble German, . Chicago, Nov. 15, Some weeks ago Ur, <>—. a very reputable and widely-known physician, living on C Street, wus colled tsi attend u very complicated case of Rheumatism, Upon arriving nt the house he found a mini ubout forty yours of ngo, lying in n prostrated and serious condition, with his whole frame dangerously affected with the painful disease. He prescribed for the piUienl. but lbs' mun continued to grow worse, and on Sunday evening lie wus found tO be in u very alarming condition. The knees and elbows and larger joints were g!eatly inlluuteil, and could imi be moved, it was only Willi extreme difficulty that the patient could be turned In bed. with the aid of three or four persons. The weight of the clothing was bo painful that means had to be adopted to keep it from the patient's body. The doctor saw that his assistance would be of tn) avail, and left the house, tho members of the family following him to the sloor. weeping. Almost Immediately tho grief stricken ones were addressed by an humble German. He had heard of the despair of the family, and now asked lhem to try his remedy, and accordingly brought forth u bottle of St. Jacob's Oil. The poor wife applied this remedy. The lirst application eased the patient very much: altera few hours they used it again, and. wonder of wonders, the pain vanished entirely! Every subsequent application improved the patient, and in two slays lis- was well and out. When the doctor called a few days after, he was surprised.

Notice to Municipal Voters. The Grand Trunk Railway officials who were down to Victoria to coax a "small" subsidy from the government in support of their proposed Pacific Pacific extension, announce their mission iis successful. Of course it was and there is nothing to brag about in that. Any old sort of a scheme would find support at Victoria, A failure in that respect would be something very unique. The Prior govetuinciii will gain nothing from the three bye-elect ions. West Yale is conceded to ex-Premier Seinlin as an oppositionist, North Victoria will return T. Patterson as an independent oppositionist, and Williams appears to be the stronger man in tho Nanaimo district. Even should Mclnnes carry the latter constituency, the general result will be such as to show the government thai they have not the confidence of the people. Col. Prior woultl have gained more by a prompt dissolution of the house, as time to think has convinced the electorate that his government is merely n perpetuation of the old fam Uy compact.
