Purchases of silver lead ores are being sought by American smelters, both by the trust and independent concerns, as much as $2 Hat being offered for the Slocan lead product.

I have to get back to town Thank you with all my heart, Kate:—with all my heart. Good- b.ie " He held out his hand to her. She could not but take it; she was compelled at last to look away from the gull, and towards him. Helieved from one anxiety, he was the more free to notice her. Suffering was evident in her fnee, and he could never look on suffering unmoved. His recent experience had made him very pitiful, very tender- hearted; it had also quickened his perceptions. He liked this girl—loved her, in a way: after Mary, she came before any other of her sex in his estimation. He knew that she must be aware of his disappointment, but he had nut intended to make direct illusion to it. Now— prompted by a strung impulse to give help if he could, sine* help was so clearly needed, he said— "Are you, too, in trouble. Kate?" .She tries! hard to force herself to say "nn." She could not. 'Ws." was her answer "I am sorry, slear." he said, so kindly, so gently. "It's a hard world for some of us, Kate, and wo can do almost nothing to help each other over the rough places. But sympathy does give a little help, a little encouragement, doesn't it?" She bent her head. "I have yours. I know Kate: and you have mine." Kate tore her hands from his, and fastened them about her throat. She felt as though rising sobs would strang'e her. She wanted to tiioke them hack. ls*st she should lose one word of what he was saying. "Co on," she gasped, "you help me. Say more, say something more for me to remember." "What can I say. dear'* Happiness doesn't come tu everyone, and those who don't get it have just to make the best of their lives without it. We can do that, can't we?

Kate looked after him while he remain, il in sight. "And there," she said, "goes out of my life the one man 1 have known who couo.d have helped me to rise higher, to make a bettor thing of life. I would have hail confidence in his judgment. Ho would have told me all my faults and helped me to get rid of them. And oh! I am not all selfish—I could have helped him. too. At the least,I Would have beef no hindrance to him—no hindrance " lllinding tears were in her eyes. sin- brushed them impatiently away, but thu roud. when she could see it again, was empty. Mary was at the Manse door,waiting for her return. 'Vou have been away so long; I have wanted you so much!" she said. "Why?" askesi Kate, sinking into the first scat she could find Kor nnswer, Mary burst out crying. Kate was on her feet again instantly, and had caught her cousin's wrist in a tight grasp. "What are you crying for Mary?" she demanded almost fiercely. "Because—because—John has bes.'u lllTO." •W.1I!" "And he says—oh, Kate, be says he is not coming back again." "Well!" "That moans that we iktsUl t see him any more." "1 .suppose it does," said Kate sharply, "llut vou knew we Per- w» you you I ., I Ms business to attend to: did you think he could stay here always?" "Nsj—only it's all so sad. I can't bear to th'nk of his going away and never coming near us again," sobbed Mary. "Mary! stop crying you will make yourself ill if you go on like this. Think of something else! Get the tea ready." Mary was roused: even the gentle Mary could be roused in time. "You are most unfeeling. Kate," she exclaimed with indignation. "You never cared for him as I do. Of course his going away is not at all so hard for you as it is for me. You can't understand!" "No. I can't understand," retorted Kate, at her wit's end "I should have supposed it to be immaterial to you who goes or who stays, so long as you have Mr. Wishart in the neighborhood. Certainly there are some things quite outside my comprehension! As tea is within it, I had better attend to that." She waa almost beside herself If she abated her harshness in the slightest degree she would break down altogether— a disaster not on any account to be ri-ked. Therefore ahe left Mary: poor Mary, who felt so sorely in need of consolation Mr. Ferris returning presently from Glenessle, proved far more sympathetic. He let her cry out her grief on his shoulder, he comforted her by speaking confidently of John's return to Scotland at some later date; Mary had begun to smile again, by the time tea was ready. Nevertheless, it was a gloomy meal. Kate, in one of her unapproachable moods, sat stern and white at her end of the table. At sight of her face Mr. 1-erris. Who had been talkative before, became suddenly silent. He found his eyeglass<*s very much In need of polishing whenever he looked towards her, but his efforts did not in any way improve the dimness of vision he sought to remedy. Mary encouraged herself by surreptitious caressing of the lastr received letter from Glasgow, until the delicious sense of possesion betrayed her into an involuntary smile just as Kate happened to glance in her direction—whereupon, she started guiltily, withdrawing her hand from her pocket in haste. They were all relieved when Bella came to take away the scarcely-touched dishes. Afterwards, Kate retired to her usual seat at a distance from the others. In and out, back and forth, darted her unresting needle. Not one of the many stitches made was visible to her. Years afterwards she found her work of that evening carefully laid away in an old box — a woollen sock, darned ahapelessly, almost beyond possibility of recognition. Mr. Ferris paced up and dowu he room for some time, glancing uneasily, now and again, at the darner. At length he subsided into his own chair by the window; whither Mary followed him. for a confidential chat. "Well, dear," said the old man. "what did you do with yourself this morning?" 'rait of the time I wrote, Uncle ; and part of the time I made plans." "Mary made plans!" he said, touching her golden hair tenderly. "They must have been pretty plans ; were they wise?" "I don't know," sighed Mary—"I don't suppose so, since I made them. But you see. Uncle, I want so much to improve myself now." "Why now?" "Oh, because of Gavin." "Does he think you want improvement?" "I daresay he does. Of course he has not said so, yet; he has had so little time to find out. I have told him not to expect anything." "Then he will have a great many surprises. And what are the plans, Mary?" "There are several of them. I made up my mind to learn book-keeping : that would be useful, wouldn't 't ? Then I thought I ought to learn a little cooking from Bella. And there is a book about servants' duties.and their wages, and how you engage them: I found it in the bookcase here—I mean to read that carefully. But those are all plans for helping myself, and I wanted specially to bf a. help to Gavin. As he is so clever, I thought I had better begin with i little very solid reading: Every day, you know, for perhaps half an hour at first—-I daresay I should soon get to an hour." "But you belong to a reading society, don't you?" "I did, once; but you see, there was a half-penny line every tune you missed your half hour, and it got to be too expssnsive for me That was long ago, more than a year, I should think. 1 am much more ie earnest now." "What 'very solid' books ure you going to attask, Mary?" "Well, Uncle, 1 am not sure whether to try Browning's poetry, or Mendelssohn's Letters, I think It had better be aJeiisielsslion's letters, because Gavin is so fond of music." "And when are these great schemes to be carried out?" "Oh, I meant to begin this afternoon—but John came." Mary's voice grew sad: she put her head down on her Uncle's shoulder. There was silence in the room for a long time. At length the minister spoke Mary never knew whether he meant his words for her, or was talking to himself as was sometimes Lis habit. "Darkness is creeping over us," he said; "thut means that light is rising upon others. So it is always in our lives. Gain involves loss, when happiness comi'.s to me, sorrow fulls elsewhere. "Only I think we often estimate altogether wrongly, the value of gain and loss, happiness und sorrow, darkness and light. For I have known lives that are passed in dark- ness and struggle, grow far more full of light than those passed in peace and sunshine. 1 see joyful hearts centre them selves on the objects of their Joy and look no further: and I see sorrowful hearts stretch themselves out to aid the sorrowing everywhere —a sword has pierced them through therefore the thoughts out of many hearts are revealed to them. "Yel who am I, to say whether the joyful or the sorrowing nre nobler1 God sends to each what is right for each. Those who receive joy, fulfill their destiny as truly as those to whom sorrow is appointed. we have to tread: leave it we must not, glorify it we may!" He ceased speaking. Mary felt awed, almost frightened. Kates needle was still at last, her hands were idle; her work had slipped un- Here, before each of us, lies the path heeded to the door, and lay there at her feet. CHA1TEK VI. As John Cayford traveled back to town, the definite plan of action Which had seemed so hopelessly inconceivable in the morning, began slowly to shape itself before him. Out of tlie confusion in his mind, one determiuatiou arose, powerful, irresistible, bringing order with it: at all hazards, al any cosl, Mary's happiness musl be secured! So eii- Urelj cs.seutial did this appear, that in view of it the idea of violating his oath to Alau bs*c*uie less and leas revolting, became familiar, became an accepted necessity. ■ Alan loved her," he arguei, "lln-refore he would have been reao . to make any sacrifice for her. Had he known the production of these papers must involve her in uiUer>, be would have destroyed them without hesitation: if I can convince Uiy- helf that their production will bfln-* more pain that profit — I shall de- stroy them Be knew that the thought of Mar. ao swayed him as almost to deprive blm of the capability to judge riglu- es.as Judgment. lie tried to put away all recollection of her; to view ths* matter solely as it affected the ini.-r.-st**. of Alan, Mr. Anderson, Ilk-hard Twiss. Over this last name, be pondered long. Kichard's relationship to the accused man surely gave him a right lo tiie knowledge of his brother's innocence. How deeply he had seemed to feel the disgrace attached to him by Alan's supposed misdemeanor! John recalled his own impulsive intention lo lighten the weight of grief that seemed to crush Richard, by naming the real defaulter; he could not be sutticicuth thankful that he had resisted that impulse. on the other hand, he remembered Alan's letter to his brother. There v. as an illusion in it which he did not understand, and on which the papers in Alan's box relating to the sale of the Braehead Btreet property would probably throw some light. He waived the consideration of Kichard's claims until he should have examined these. As to Mr. Anderson: John figured him as a kind-hearted employer, who had been bitterly disappointed in the character of one in whom he had interested himself. Was it worth while to purchase his gratification nt lhe cost of such disaster elsewhere' He had possibly almost for- golten the matter. And Alan? Certainly his main desire had been to have his name cleared in Mar;- 's eyes. He had said distinctly that he cared nothing for the opinion of others, but only for hers. He had died with that eager appeal s>n his lips "Tell Mary." She had been told: poor Alan! she could scarcely remember his name! What good could possibly be done to hiin by the public revelation of his innocence and another's guilt? None. And that other would suffer social damnation And Mary —John realized her nearness again, fi-lt the pressuie of her hand upon his arm, saw ihe love-light shining in her eyes, heard her dear voice saying—"My love for Gavin, is—is me. Il lives with my life, it is my life; nothing can change it." Oh, no, no. no! the pnps.*rs must not b** shewn: at all hazards, at any cost, Mary's happiness must be secured. He had a disagreeable consciousness all the while, that the.se same arguments would have had no weight whatever with bim, but for the crushing conviction that the hope of winning Mary for i.'imse'if was at an end There was still an "If" in the case Wishart'a fate v.as nol yet decided ii v ould not be decided, until his present reputation had been more closely examined. For Mary's sake, John was willing to adopt th,. opinion expressed by Corbett In Ins let- ts r to Alan—that Frosslie had intended no harm, had been In ereat Straits for want of money, bad j ndded suddenly under stress ol temptation hut bad no intention ol per- mitting Mars 'a happiness i" be plor- esl where llii'lv Was r.<> ii"iid ground im belief i:uit ii would bo secure lie Intended to make as thorough isn Investigation of Gavin's character us I.- possibly coulsl, with the means and thu time ui ins disposal He had friends in Glasgow who could nisi him iii tin* matter: ladles win, would probably know I'avin socially, und men who would certainly know bis si.niiiiiig among men lie intended isb apply to these, without loss of i inn-, ihere was iiiils's-d no time to hise. since ids decision must be nr- rivs'sl ni before the prospective interview with Hichard Twlsa t<><sk place on ni. w.ii from the station io the* hotel, he renilnds-.fi himself that there was sutiilrv roiiit'tiihruncos which he had hri>tie,iit with lilm from Melbourne fnr th.**... fi,. mis nf his, and that he had riol yet opened tlm s-nse containing iheiu.

Wlthl". .;. in add if on tis own belouftings. he was dismayed tsi find various parcels, which he had I undertaken to transmit from friends oi his In Melbourne to friends of j theirs in Glasgow, and which he had ' until now completely forgotten. He unpacked them iu haste, that they , might be despatched as speedily as possible together with notes of apol- l- ogy for his very culpable negligence. , One of them, larger than the rest, required force to dislodge it from its place. He lifted it out w-ith difficui- I ty, remembering tbat he had found It awkward to pack, and had thought as he thought now, that ; the kindly Scotchwoman who con- j signed this bulky parcel to his care, was rather inconsiderate. It contained rare and valuable books, she ! had told him; stray numbers of Beethoven's arrangements of Scotch 1 Songs. She picked them up a I sec- ond-hond book stores, and wished i then, to be conveyed to a nephew of hers, who would appreciate the trea- j sure. John looked for thc address: j the parcel was directed to Gavin Wishart. As he deciphered the name, there ' came to hi-ii a transitory glimpse of the haunting recollection that had so tantalized him It vanished instantly, yel not altogether. "Kear of death," he kept repeating to himself "r ear of death—that I was certainly part of it! But where On earth have I heard the words lately? Anil how are they connsjeted With Gavin Wishart?"

Every hotel In New York hns a Hture- I room for uitis'les left behind by guests. It is one of the important departments of the establishment ainl often earns the gratitude of travelers whose un- i fortunate habit of forgetting leads i thetu to look for things that are missing. In hotels a book is kept In which are Jotted dowu descriptions of articles forgotten. When a hotel does a large transient buslines, it is frequent. ly witli difficulty that lost articles ure arranged for idetititi.Mtion. The integrity of servants must be relied upon to a large extent. The chambermaid takes Immediate possession of a room upon the guest's departure. She picks up anything thnt appears to have bi*en left unintentionally. A note describing the article nnd giving the name of the guest, the room munber nnd the time of departure Is taken to the clerk. The property is turned over to the lioiisel;es'|ier and by her to the "lost" department.

At an animal show in this city the wild occupants of the cages get very wild when the hour comes for them to be fed. A truck laden with meat and vegetables ls wheeled nround.

Though they ought to have learned that each will get a share, they both plunge for the great chunk of meat. Once tbey get lt they eat lt with a certain intensity, but deliberation.

A flag was waved aud tliey set off at a terrible pace, ns If they were only racing for a short distiluce. They kept together until they were almost out of sight.

A good story is told of the Russian police, who are very careful lest any literature of an atheistic character shnll fall Into the hands of the peasants. A peasant in the province of Minsk went to a publisher's shop nnd asked for a Bible. Unwittingly the shopman gave him an algebra primer. On opening the book when be reached home, the peasant was surprised to find lt full of mystic signs and hieroglyphics. The peasant showed it to a policeman, w-ho felt convinced that the signs were of an "extremely freethink- ing character," and so arrested the owner. At the trial the peasant was discharged, and the policeman, Instead of being rewarded for his religious zeal, was reprl mn tided. Oil of Rattlesnakes.

From fear that tlie reptile may have bitten itself the dear oil is ts'sted by dropping a portion of it Into milk. If it floats In one globule, lt Is regarded ns unaffected; If, on the oths'r hand.

At this stage 1 wus advised to give her Dr. Willinms' I'ink Pills, and she began this treatment. Almost from the outset these pills heipeil ber, an I as she continued their use, the color came back to her cheeks, her appetite Improved, the headaches ceased ,'o trouble her, and by tne time sho had taken eight boxes she felt stronger and better than she hod ever slone before in her life. I think l>r Willinms' Pink Pills are unsurpassed for all ailments of this kind, and strongly recommend them to oilier mot here."
