Bradshaw, the party nominee, resigning from the candidature. What decision the party will com* to is not known outside of the elect, but it is believed an earnest effort will be made to bring out another candidate. ln any event there is a large percentage of the former Liberal vote lost, having now gone to the Conservatives. Should a decision be arrived at by the convention not to nominate, still more of tho faithful will voto for Bill Hunter, as tho representative of party line polities. In fact, the majority of the Liberal vote ia the various towns will lie east for the Conservative candidate, in the event of their own side failing to nominate. CUM.lNliS.

"Don't fear opposition from my father," said Paul, in reply to Christine's words, "If my father— But he will not—he dare not." ".Iter a pause, he arose and walked to and fro across the floor. He was evidently taking a full estimate of his father's character. "Christine," he at length said, sitting down once more by her si sle, "my father has given his consent to our union. Neither you nor 1 was responsible for the cause which Influenced him thon, nor can responsibility be laid to our doors in this pre? sent case. If lie withdraws that consent, I will marry you without it." "Paul!" ''I am resolved, darling. No power of earth shall separate us?" Christine, who loved him so deeply und so devotedly, and who felt that her ull of life was bound up in him, could only rest her head upon his bosom. Vet he had not lifted the burden from her heurt. She who must, if suffering came, bear the passive purt, had no strength of will but to endure. She hud read her doom in the coldness ol the father, and though the impassioned vow of her Issver wus grateful to her soul, she durid riot accept it us authority Paul, when ho made the vow, had not entirely considered thc power of his futher's will. Yet lis: hud spoken truly—he hud spoken from the uttermost depths of his heart; he had sworn only thut which he had re- Solvsd to fulfill, lie could not then realize to what depths of misfortune u war with parental authority might lead. Had there been parties at hand of Madame Rachel's kin, or had there) been even one strong man, with i-ool and level head, deeply interested enough to demand and pursue investigation without fear or favor, many incidents connected with the closing days of tha deceased, and especially connected with the matter of tha will, which were now suffered to pass lightly away, might have been dragged up to new and atartllng proportions. Christine, the party most directly interested, could not act for herself, Every sense of modesty and decency forbade lt. She knew that ln truth she was but a nameless foundling that she had been all the yeara of her Ufa an humble dependent upon Madame Rachel's bounty, and that, under the question of stem right, aha had claim only to gratitude for fav. ors already received, rather than claim for favors ln the future. In short, when brought face to face with the bare facts of her life, she ahrank from publicity ns the true heart ever shrinks from the exposure of inherited misfortunes. Br. Arkwright, though a true friend, and plainly conversant with affairs at the Hrooksido, wns not the man to institute proceedings at law. He was a spiiet. plethoric Individual, following his prosfssssion from the impulse of long lml.it. and possessing energy for littlo else. TTnd Ohrlst.M appealed to hiin, he might have made nn efforl in her behalf, fur lie was a gallant mini, and really Im s-il tho beautiful girl. But she slisl not. seek his aid. ITon. Nathun Waybrook hud an interest at stake, and he was. moreover, amply qualified for the work Of Investigation; but his pride stood in his way. Had Christine been a legal heir, so that the investigation might have beijun and ended with tho will, he would undoubtedly huve entered into the work; but he saw plainly thut the very first, steps of opposition—should opposition he made— would l.e to question the maiden's inherent right. This would bring tho iruth to the surface, and it would bo published in nil tho papers of tho day that the son of Hon, Nathan Waybrook had been nfbancod to a nameless foundling, and that he, the honorable parent, hud been willing to sacrifice blood to wealth. Of the household there were none to help, did Hagar hud followed Tom to tho silent shore, and Lora was nlone left to boar her young mistress company. But Lora could do nothing toward lifting the vail that darkened tho future. Sho had se*en two old wills destroyed, and knew that Mndame Rachel had ordered their destruction, but sho Itnew nothing of any new will. She had been sent to summon the two workmen from the garden, but she could not declare for what the.v had been summoned, nor did she know that they had been admitted to Rachel's presence. She had only conducted them to an ante-chamber, where Mr. Halford bad received them. .lohn Downey, tho gardener, wus of account only so far as he threw a very uncertain and misdirecting glimmer upon the disappearance of Eben Sanders and Seth Davis. lie told of the coming to his cot of two men who wero engaged in looking up hands for a great work out West. "And I think," he said, "that they ofTereil Sanders and Davis great pay. At ull events, they suid that good Yankee farmers, who knew how to work, were in great demand to (ill the places of directors anil overseers. I famieil that my two men bit at tie bait, and as (hey were under contract with me for the season, they Otiose to slip off on the sly.'' When it came to he discovered that not quite a week's wages were due to the missing men, Madame Rachel h;i\ing paid them weekly, .Ta.lin Downey's hy|Bsitiu"-is seemed entire!.' consistent, the more so as he fortified hi*- opinion with the fancies wl Icb, from his own prejudices, he hnd magnified into facts. And so tlii« rir- cumstnnce, which, under rigid scrutiny, might have led to grave suspicious in other directions, wus, in the end, passed over as of no material consequence. Only one other person remained who was at all interested in, or cognizant of, the merits of tlie case, and that wns Caspar Hugo. Wo would not forget Paul Waybrook, But his interest was not of a kind to be considered under the circumstances. Moreover, his father would not suiter him to interfere. Once the youth had ventured upon tho declaration that he would tnke the law in the case upon his own responsibility. Ordinarily, Mr. Waybrook, senior, would have been wroth at such a manifestation of filial disrespect, but in the present in- stance ho regurdod it simply us an ebullition of precocious obstreperous- niss, und, with an ironic smile, he usi.e.l tlio young man how old he was. Paul guessed that he lucked two weeks of being one-und-twonty; and the reflection came crushing upon him that ho was as yet but a child in the eyi's of the law. .So Caspar Hugo was the only remaining man to whom inquiry o uld be directed. We will pass over tho muny interviews held by other parties, and come to the final consultation with the clerk by the Hon. Mr. Waybrook. Thus far, Hugo had sustained his reputation as an honest, upright and devoted clerk, and Nullum Wuy brook, fancying that ho possessed great tact in reading human charnctor, exprsssi-d himself ns thankful that llalford's business had been left In such capable hands There hud lieen no loophole through which a possible suspicion could nt t.ich to the clerk. The secretion or destruction of a will would not seem to hnvo benefited hiin, not in tho least; but, rother, he should have expected benefit from the presence of a will. Mr. Wuybrook waa welcomed to the ofliee by tho clerk, and ushered to a chair of state, ns though ho bad been n magnate of supreme Oil inence. Do bowed condescendingly, and felt e\idently happy that ho had lo confer With so perfect and proper a gentleman. Mr. Waybrook opened his business. He did not wish to be Intrufivo; but he wished the utmost) possible nmount isf light, with n view to a final settlement of the matter in his own mind. Caspar Hugo bade the merchant to proceed Uo would give all the light he hod to gi\u, and ho would render any assistance lhat lay in his power, And he would slo it ull with the utmost cheerfulness, "Iiai you think it possible," asked Waybrook, "that Mr. Halford could have written a will at Madame Ra- dii'l's dictation without your knowledge? " "Such a thing would huvo been ut- leily Impossible," answered tho clerk/ emphatically, but very politely. "Then it, Is your own private opinion that no now will was made?" pursued the merchant.

Half way between the fort and the Arizona border lies Lindell's Rest It ls a low wooden building, dull yellow like the sun buied plains around, and tbere isn't even a cactus sprout to east a shadow near it. j Saturday uight at Lindell's Is a thing to dream of evermore once one bas 1 lived through It—the crazy, witching i Mexican music; the dancers with tbelr lithe, southern grace; the violet smoke rings curling over all; I.indell himself. j tall and thin, with his happy eyes and j everlasting cigarette—and Lollta. She was seventeen the summer Lln- j ds'U came to San Luis; a slim Mexican i girl, with long lushed, teusing eyes of j velvety brown and dusky balr curling amtind her small, piquant face. I.indell was merely a gentleman , tramp In those days, one of the crowd of boys who drift here and there once the spirit of the gypsy is upon theni, accomplishing nothing, caring for ( nothing, but happy and true hearted nnd quick to lend a helping hand when 11 call conies. He and Ted Xorris came , down together, with plenty of grit, but I neither cash nor credit, except at the low. yellow half way house where old Msinut'lo kept ogen Inn with his daughter. Lollta. I Those things happen of themselves— moonlight on the little rough veranda, Lollta singing comical little snatches of American songs in her soft* broken English, under Lindell's tutelage, with her small brown lingers playing lightly on her mandolin: "1 cant tell why I love you, but I do-0-0; There lotta girl ln town so swes*t liko you-o-o, But there BomothlnR I can't tell, 8s'em to hole me In It spell. I can't tell why I luve you, but I do-0-0." I.imi i'U would smoke and smoke and look up at her as she snug, lazy and happy and full of a joyous, don't eare Irresponsibility that comes to one, somehow, with the climate down there, and tlie music aud the white, strange moonlight. One Saturday I.indell and Norris rods.' away to town, seventeen miles away, with n pr, 111 lse to ret urn In time for the slaiiec. Lollta watched them out of sight, and Maiutclo laughed when he beard her singing. She was the prettiest girl tliis side tlie border. Tbe American boy was clear eyed nnd young nnd quick to laugh. If lhey loved, why not? There were the house and a good bunch of money when he was gone, and little Lollta would slug evermore. lie smiled shrewdly. Maybe, perhaps, qiiien sulie? At 7 the mull conch from Ban Luis drew up nt tlie yellow house, and a girl alighted. Lollta was Bring a hot shot of smiles and repartee nt the driver, Billle Slogan, when she saw her and slopped short. The stranger was fnlr and blue eyed, and, though the Indian Bummer day had been hot and dusty, sl 1 e looked cool and elmrming. Lollta was dressed I'or thu dunce. She wore yellow and had wound a long red silk scarf about her shoulders, crossed It and tied It below her waist on one hip. Billle luul just told her she looked like one of the little dark red roses lhe ladles wear lu their balr over nt San Luis on the plaza when she caught sight of this oilier girl, und sill' hoped I.indell would not seo her. Tilers' wns n difference. Mr. I.inilell and Mr, Norris? Oh. yes, Lollta told ber The.v were living there. Thoy had gone for 11 ride, Just II short ride, she lii'ougbt 11 chnlr out on ilu veranda and talked with the stranger after the couch had gone. She called I.indell Allan, thi*; girl, nnd Norris Ted. and she hoped tin.,' would return soon. "Vou have not seen hlin for n long time, yes'/" snld Lollta, her eyes full of a half frightened suspicion. "Not for a yeur," said tbe otbor softly. "We bad only lies'll niurried 11 few months when he went away. It seem- i ed better, you know. He was so . young, and he thought he could make a fortune out here. I guess he hasn't. though." Lolitn laughed. It was comical to : think of Lludell making a fortune or anything else. It was growing dark. and already a few couples had made their appearance and passed indoors, with a gay greeting to Manuelo's daughter. The strange girl looked at them curiously. •It Is the dance," said Lollta shortly. resenting the amused surprise In the other's eyes. She would show her she was not afraid to speak his name as she had. "Al-luln. he like to dance lots with me." "Yes":" The stranger looked at her kindly. "1 do not wonder at it. You nre 11 dear, with those big brown eyes. Anil the other-does he dance too'/" "Who—Ted? No, 110. He Is not one hit like I.indell. He Is still and nil way off somewhere. He uever eare to dance." , The music had begun, and tbe bine eyed girl rose hesitatingly. "I wisli I could go and meet them. I want to surprise him, you know. Could I?" i Lolitn rose, too. In quick, hot anger. They would meet and he would take her iu his anus and kiss her. Sbe thought of last night and the night before and tbe nights before for weeks. Was It for this Lindell hnd sung and laughed witn her and told her her lips I were the sweetest In nil the world? I "Suddenly she looked nt the fair, ealin face beside her, aud n flood of wild, unreasoning Jealousy swept over her. She pointed southward. "If you walk that way straight on to There the ground slips and the cacti •w tall you will meet them." sbi told her. "It Is only a short way. lou cannot miss them. It is only two or three miles to the uext house, and they may have stopped there." After the girl had gone she went In to the dance, laughing, with the lie fresh on her lips. There wns no house for thirty miles thut way, and once she hud passed the giant cacti sbe would go down Into Death valley, that terrible wilderness whero only the snakes and the 011a monsters and tarantulas could dwell in safety. One nlgbt spent tbere, aud Lindell might cull and cry for his wife in vain, Never was' tbere such a dunce at Manuelo's as thut Saturday night. Lollta danced and sang with feverish gay- ety, her eyes ever on tbe door, watching for Lindell. Then suddenly, nt tbe very height of the merriment, she was missed. Out Into the clear, bright night she went silently to the shed where tbe horses stood, and, choosing her own rough little mustang, she mounted aud rode away towurd Deuth valley. If Lindell loved this fair, blue eyed girl, he would hate her for sending her to ber death. The thought terrified ber. Anything but his hate, she thought; anything but tbe look ln bis eyes when be knew. And was It not right? She wus fulr like him and gentle voiced. She was not a Mexican girl to smoke a clgnrettsj wltb and sing to In th* moonlight and laugh wben her lora was won. She caught her breath In deep sobs, uud the teurs fell ou the mustang's brown neck ns she urged him on over the miles tbat lay between them and the valley, and nt lust there were the giant cacti ahead, guarding the em- trance to the valley like grim Bentinels. Shi' turned toward (hem bravely, but before the mustang hnd gone a dozen paces past them he reined und backed nwny from something that lay upon lhe ground. Lollta knelt nud en light ber breath as her hand touched the bnnd of the strange girl. It wns warm, and she raised hor head upon her lap. The blue eyes opened wonderingly. "It wns sueh a long wny, nnd I could not find thom." she said faintly. "You did not know It was so fur, did yon?" Lolitn pressed a kiss on the band she held. It wns a white, dainty hand. No wonder Lindell loved It. She helped her up to the saddle, and with one arm around her for Support she guided the mustang blicll user the long stretches of sand nnd mm baked nlkull on through the ulglll until the lights nt Manuelo's showed like (hollies against the sappnire dnrfenewi of the skive. Miinuelo could tell you the rest- how the two Americans returned at midnight, and Just as they were to lend the search for Lollta there came tbe thre-e figures through the moonlight, and Lolitu fell at Lindell's feet. "I bring her back to you." she said pleadingly. But It was Norris wbo sprang to tbe stranger's side wltb a glad cry. and Lindell held the Mexican girl I11 bis anus there before them all and told her she wns all In all to blm. .So that is wby lt Is Lindell's Rest now. and if you stop there on yopr way to tbe fort or to San Luis old Miinuelo will tell you how It hnppened over n little glass of tbe deep red .Mex- Icnn wine be loves nnd bid you sliuke hands with his handsome soil-In law. And If you nre courteous and pleasant Lolita will flash a smile up nt you from under her long, dark lashes. And Lindell? He is perfectly trappy and full of a gay. careless content that comes but seldom lo a man In ths world. It cotues with the moonlight and the music dowu there—nnd Lolitn.

"I wns over at Allegitsh tbe other dny for the lirst time In four years." said the Kohnrk philosopher. Just a hit sarcastically, "and 1 found my nephew Lntber nnd his estimable wire still squabbling over the same question they were quarreling about when I was tbere before. The only change that 1 wus able to detect was that, while In the first place tbey npp»ured to know whnt tbey were jangling nbout. by this timo they seemed to have forgotten what tbe original bone of contention was. and tbey were quarreling mouotonously nlong without any wny of knowing wben tbey had finished. "Well, when my appearance interrupted tbem Luther was sttirtsiod to see how much thinner I had grown lu four yenrs, nnd his wife wos astonished at the wny I had growu fat. And at It they went, quarreling over that, and the original question was shelved for good and all. I came away feeling amply repaid for taking the trip. It is a satisfaction to know that you have done a helpful act. und I expect I did them a great favor by breaking the monotony and giving tbem something fresh to wrangle over."—Smart Set.

Faddy told "bis 'onner," were as thick aa leaves In autumn, but tbey could not be found. At last he sold angrily, "Are tbere many rhinoceroses on tbe estate?" "Shure, yer 'onner," drawled Fnt very slowly, "not many, not mnny," but brightening up, "you may put up two or three round the lake In tbe summer." Long before the summer, of course, the tenancy would be at an end. "You confounded rascal!" roared the tenant. "Wbat do you mean by telling me all these lies?" "Shure," said Pat. with a true Hlber- ninn grin, "an' wouldn't 1 be glvln' yer 'onner a pleasant answer?"—London Tatler. __^ Different How.

He decided to leave for the country on Monday, before his , lust dollar was gone. it happened that some acquaintances of hla landlord, who called on Sunday, tohl him of nn office where a compos* ltor was wanted. Greeley went there Monday mopning before the place was open, His appearance was bo uncouth thai he would huve been rejected there also if tlie foreman had not hud .difficulty in getting a compositor for a piece of work he wanted done. This was setting up a Biunll New Testament with narrow columns, the texi Interspersed with references to notes marked In Greek and other tm- ii-.ii.il characters, So complicated was Ua" tusk and so lit tlse could the com- I" ultor earn at It that several men had ni miiloned the work almost us soon ns they hud begun it. The foreman offered the work to Greeley, believing that In half a duy the boy would prove himself incapable of performing IL When the proprietor saw Greeley at work he usked the foreman why he hired thut fool and said, "Pay him off tonight."

Evi*i*y Art nnil Insln^try Ilppreaented in the Clilncm* City. The merchants' alleys are the para- disc of the Btranger who visits Canton, China, The simps have open fronts on either sliUi the narrow lane, and every art and Industry, the homeliest trade ami the most fascinating pursuit, thrives In the dark passage. Black swinging signboards proclaim the business in characters of red or gold. Pandemonium triumphs In a series of yells as the chairmen scream for pass room. The poles hit the ps'tli'strHn In the eye, and the mandarin joggles the stranger. The native tilts his lutjre hut sidewise to avoid ii crush, and ofts-n the coolies swing aslant In the alley or duck Into u store to avoid a catastrophe. The Chinese as a people are modest ln their dress. The person is rarely exposed. Women wear double breasted sacks which tit ti'..lit to the throat, band men are usually covered. But under the stress of hard labor the man at the forge Is stripped to the waist, nnd In the foundry a tii'iirly nude workman strides the iron seesaw like a horse in the treadmill. The butcher cleaves his ileshsr on the block amid dried rats and skins of fowls stretched taut on the rack. Next door the gold healer hammers in his cave. Beyond [he kindling man piles high bis forest of fagots. Near by the miller is beat ing tin* meal through course sieves Iiis neighbor skins fish and hopes to seh tbem from the box where they float under a feeble spurt of water.

DIZZY SPELLS AND BODY WEAKNESS Toil of a Run-down System anil Exhausted Nerves-Strength Comes With the Use of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. To many people peculiar spoils of dizziness and weakness ore a. source of a >si 'oily annoyance und distress. Sc . see flushes ol lieht before theni, and become blind and dazzled ; others experience severe attacks of headache. The cause is exhaustion of the nervous system and deficiency in the quality and quantity of blood, in all such cases Dr. 1'tuise's Nerve Food is thc most certain us well as the most thorough cine obtainable. Mrs. SymonSi 43 Ht. Clair street, Belleville Ont., states: "Some weeks nun I began a courso ol treatment wiih Iii Chaso's Nerve Food, and found it n very satisfactory medicine l was tormorl> troubled wiih nor.'otis exhaustion and a weak, fluttering heart, Whenever nn heart bothered ma' I would have spells of : weakness and dlvxiness, which were j very distressing. By means ol tln-- | treatment my nerves have become j strong, nnil tin* action of the heart ' seems to be regular. 1 can recommend Dr. Chase's Nerve Food as an excellent medicine." Mrs. .1 iin. s Clancy, 714 Water Street. I'll,.i lioroiigll. Ont., BtatOS :— I have used four boxes of Or.

I would not think of being without Dr, Chase's Nerve Food ln the house, und would strongly recom* mend anyone suffering as I did to give it a trial, it succeeded in my en*!' after a great many remedies hud failed." To the thousands of women who ure victims of nervous headache this letter should prove of tnostim- ahle value.

KlUiOltlil. -JUOl'FINUS. Neil McCallum, tin* Grit noniinoe in the Grand Forks riding", has had enough of the game of politics and quit. He know enough to get in out of the wet. there are no appeals to he heard on the new voters' lists, they Beak the earliest opportunity possible to secure the people's judgment on their policy. They will )>» sustained without a shadow of a doubt, and it will be the best thitig that lias ever happened the pro- viace, for it will restore public* confidence. The Grits howled at first, that the Conservatives were holding ollice by su (Trance, and were delaying the elections; now tliey are whining like spanked children because the wicked Tories have anticipated their -irislias. The people, however, welcome the change, realizing that the sooner the turmoil is over the bettor. Conservatives have no fear of the issue. Tliey have a solid platform, a clear cut pol- 'icy, and able candidates in the various constituencies in support of their cause. The Slocan riding comes within that category, for in William Hunter the party has a candidate in whom all circles of the community place the utmost confidence. He is a man ol his word and will <lo as he Kays. Give him your support and you will never have cause to regret it. The British war office has decided that no South African war medals shall be given men who did not see ssrvice at the front. A law is on the statutes, promoted by the Conservatives, making election day a holiday, and ensuring all workingmen timo and opportunity to exercise their franchise. Vote for Hunter and endorse his party's legislation. Should the Laurier government again disallow the B.C. act, passed on the lines of the Natal statute, for the exclti-sion of Mongolians, the Conservatives stand pledged to re-enact it. A vote for Hunter shows you endorse that stand. That the Conservatives will control tbe legislature after the election is a ' foregono conclusion. In supporting and electing Hunter, the electors know • that his promises can and will Im fulfilled. A vote given to his opponents is simply thrown away. *■ The Conservatives will navar consent to the C.P.K. securing the disputed land grants in East Kootenay, beliating that they should lie kept for tha people. William Hunter will support that policy, and it behooves the peoplo to vote for him. Ex-ministers Blair and Tarte votsd against the Laurier government last week on the Grand Trunk Pacific deal. Tho former's constituents have endorsed hiastaud.as do Liberals generally iu thc maritime provinces. Iu dependent thinkers predict the railroad scheme will prove the deathblow to the Laurier government. Timber Notice.

Nondescript governments have been a curse to the province, and we want no more of them. Vote for Hunter, the Con Kervativc candidate, who stands for a purer and better order of things. DRILL POINTS. Labor day was generally observed as a holiday. The local shingle mill shut down for Labor day. A heavy fall of Show occurred this week in tlie hills. The rifle club celebrated Labor day with a shoot at the butts. Most of the prospectors to Poplar creek returned ou Monday. Martin Isaacson had a brother arrive last week from Finland. A war of extermination is j-oing on among tho grouse in this locality. Mrs. H. Beck and family returned on Friday from their trip to Europe. Fred Johnson has made arrangements to keep the Blocan Hotel running* It would appear that Jim Wardncr instead of lieing dead is very much alive. A direct mail service has been er- tablished between Nelson and the Lardeau. The Imperial Limited train service on the C.P.R. will be discontinued thi* mouth. » W. Bullock lias been selected as the Conservative candidate in the Islands constituency. G. R, Payne, representing the Mining World, of Chicago, was a visitor here on Monday. Several young people wont up 11 Sandon on Monday to attend the br.!' given by the union. A car jumped the rails at the wharf on Monday, delaying the train to Nelson a couple of hours. The Conservatives of Cariboo have nominated Wm. Adams and S. A. Rogers as their candidates. Harvest Thanksgiving services will bo held in .St. Paul's church on Sunday, Sept. 20,to which all are cordially invited. Capt. Fitzstubbs, at one time gold commissioner of Kootenay, died a few days ago at Santa Monica, Cal., aged 70 vsars. Lord Minto, the governor general, made a speech iu Montreal last woek preferential trade within the wm- tttie. His remarks were manly and a credit to kim, but he overstepped his position in entering upon a political question, and the Liberal press art* mailing him a lesson on propriety. He evidently touched a sor.'spot in their political anitomv. The Lib'ial maalfosto issued last wie't has fallen flat, because of the inclination shown by its fraurrs to shunt the party platform to tlia* hack ground. The manifesto deals with matters that have been the recognized doctrine of the Conservatives, and the electorate cannot bu blinded to that fact. Moreover, the electors believe the Conservatives will put their arcti cles of faith into practice. In the Dominion house last week, tliii Grit majority voted down these thru*, resolutions on the Grand Trunk Pacific scheme—extension of the In tereolonial.govci'ntncnt ownership and operation of the new road, and delay . in construction till the transportation committee reported and the members consulted their constituents. Actions count and hereafter Grits should draw a heavy blnck mark through thia ilatin in their political creed dealing with government Ownership. They preach one thing and practice another.
