S; McCarter. city solicitor, accordingly waited on Mr. Taylor at his hotel,-and represented the wishes of the citizens. . .1. W. Bennett, chairman of the school trustees, spoke on behalf of that body and requested that some arrange* merits he mado towards providing free school hooks. *Thc, Board, he said, hac. sent a circular-letter to all the school'trustees in the Province, and, with two possible exceptions, the idea had heen approved; of.^. It was stated that in Toronto such.distribution only cost,on an average, 11 cents per annum for each child. This, on investigation, would he found approximately correct owing to the fact "that,only actual text books were -provided, which had an average life of three years. Slates, scribblers, etc., were provided hy the parents. The matter would be brought to the' attention 'of the Ministet of Education when he visited Revelstoke, and steps would he taken to secure joint action -with other Boards. Mr. Taylor suggested that the Board and City Council should pass a resolution covering the subject whicli he -would be glad to endorse. City Clerk Floyd promised to comply with this request and stated that the objections made came from Nulson and Kelowna. A member of the Nelson board. Dr. Arthur, objected to the proposition us he thought there was danger of infection being transmitted by passing books from hand to hand. The objector from Kclowna thought that the financial position of the province was not such that the necessary outlay was possible. One suggestion ���������was thnt threo or four provinces should combine and issue a joint series. Tho Board had taken stop* to provide scribblers and ink for the scholars,'which were sold at cost and resulted in considerable saving. Mention was made of alleged copyrights, hut did not ' receive serious consideration, us all present thought, this could be overcome. Another matter that needed rectifying, Mr. Floyd said, was the stoppage of per capita allowance when the schojl was partially closed by an epidemic of measles or scarlet fever. The teachers' salaries went on and other expenses. It would be better, under,present conditions, In close the' school altogether and thus lessen the number of sessions which would heighten the average attendance. Mr.'Taylor promised to fake this matter up with the authorities and then matters the City Count il w*te discussed, Mr. Taylor said that the mayor had mentioned three matters lo him, viz., water rates, localising Chinese inhabitants.and the regulation of cattle on the streets. Mr. McCarter said that under the Assessment Act all civic properly was exempt from tax ition. and yet when the city required water power Io inn it's electric light system theie was no similar exemption in the Water Clau-ies -Act, and the city had to pay the same as a private, individual. As the rates for water were regulated by the Lieut. Governor in Council, an Order could easily be passed exempting civic enterprises fiom these chaiges. The electric light was not run foi profit hut as an improvement to the city. There was alos an informal discussion regarding ihe confinement of Chinese to certain districts, it being, in tbe opinion of the city solicitor, impossible to do so without special legislation. The trouble was that 'some of the locations objected to were made before the Act was passed ami might be vested rights. Mr. Taylor also promised to looked into this matter. The question of better communication across the river was also taken up and a lot of valuable infoimillion elicited, As, however, some of the matters .discussed were of a semi- private nature the HERALD, by request, refrains from publication. . - Obituary.

A verbatim report of the interview follows: "After your visit to the Silver Dollar Group, Mr. Pool, will you he good enough to let Hekai.d readers know what yon think of il?" ' ������������������Certainly. The group in question is an extension of the Btati ice, and fuither down the mountain is joined by the (iiiman. The sime niineial belt that has been so much spoken about on the Beatrice goes through the Silver Dollar and consists of two leads of highly argentiferous galena and I wo leads of free milling gold quartz which average 25 and fl feet respectively. The two latter leads, which! examined rather closely, have a similar appearance to thobenf the Ben trice and the other fiee gold leads which assayed very high, and I am J eertainly of opinion that the Silver Dollar group is equally valuable." 9 "What about facilities'*for,transportation?" - - "Thev ai e very good; anil in a short time the product of the Silver Dollar will be easily shipped.

"Taking it all iu nil I consider that, with a moderate expenditure of capital, the group in question should take its place as a regular and valuable shipper."

Strike Settled The coal strike at Fernie was settled on Monday, as the result of n second ballot after the miners had been addressed hy members of the Mining Association's conciliation committee. The figures are as follows: Michel, for liiO, against 15; Morrissey, for 02, against 28; Fernie, for U, against 130, a'total majority for of 58. It is understood that the agreement is fori enough to give a HEKM.D representa tive an account of the matter. It seems that, ns usual, the Mail has misrepresented and abused a political opponent for alleged statements, utterly without foundation. Mr. Taylor said : "It is perfectly true that at n recent meeting at Ferguson I had occasion to refer to Mr. Fred Fraser. government agent here. I ceitainly did not condemn him, but only the methods pursued iu this riding by the present administration. "The condemnation the Mail takes so seriously to heart was simply a comparison of the difference in the administration of appropriations iu this riding compared with the course taken when I was a supporter of the government. "I consider that the local member is the proper man to advise the Gorei'n ment as to the needs of his constituency and that the duty of the government agent is to exercise thc poweis conferred on him by statute and instructions given by departmental heads, f{.this course had been followed during "Jonathan J tho past year. Mr. Fraser could have :_��������� iv,.. _ remained much closer to his office duties. I may further say that as I had taken care to ascertain the public requiiemeuls and represented the same to ihe government, it. has been totally unnecessary for Mr. Fraser, acting on departmental instructions, I pie* sume, to waste time and money which should have been devoted to the public service, travelling constantly round the district. "It is easy for * the - Mail to make unsupported statements.- regarding reckless extravagance; but I defy any- 'body to point 'to1 instances /of ..such a 'character while I: had any .supervision of public expenditure. _ . , ~ ' "The Mail labouis under its usual misapprehension in giving Mr. Fraser credit for the "facilities afforded for shipment of ores in the riding. The only shipments made of -any account Wdre from the Nettie'L. and.Triune in the vicinityof Trout f,ake, and".the road to Thompson's" Landing,* over which these were hauled was built on uiy recommendation and before Mr. Fraser exercised control of the patronage. Since his posilion of government agent has been advanced to that of political adviser the road in question has been in very bad shape. This will be borne out by Mr. Forbes, manager of the Nettie L. and Silver Cup, or any of the teamsters using it.

The craving for seeing a fellow- creature dono to death ou the stage, or for rending about It In a noval, has a strange fascination for many estimable people It is singular how anything unnatural is regarded in this country as verj' correct and proper; white many things that are quite in the ordinary healthy course of nature aro regarded as sinful in the first degree, writs* Arnold Golsworthy in "Ainslee's." If you write an affecting little story about a man and a woman who loves each other very much, but eventually overlooked the customary visit to church before settling matters, many people will refuse to read your book on the ground that it Is sinful, and tlie libraries will push it back at you with righteous indignation. But if you pen a dainty story of a bad man waylaying the little heiress, whe stands between him and tha family estates, and dashing her into eternal rest with a brick, the same goad people will probably scramble over ona another in their haste to absorb th* lovely details. In the first ease, you will have dealt with a phenomenon deliberately designed by Nature; and, as we nil know, Natura Is really painfully ignorant on the subject of how to run thc earth. In the second place, you have unearthed a vile crime, that is so far unnatural as to be happily extremely rare���������und, as we live in topsj'-turvy times, you have provided a subject that good people can read without feeling at all sinful in consequence. If the villain meets the heroine on the cliffs, and offers her a furnished flat on the West Side and five thousand dollars a year for pocket money, respectable peo- file shudder at the idea and speak harsh* y of the book and it3 author. But if tlie villain, with a wild cry of rage, springs at the fair girl's dainty white throat and hurls her over tlie edge of the beetling dill's, so that she is dashed to squash on'the rocks below���������that is all right. Thero is nothing improper there. We eari take, that story home. I saw a play, recently, in which tlie villain of th* pieco was a really beautiful specimen of rascality. Ho bribM tho heiress's grand*: mot';er to bring the little victim down; to the river, and then hs picked the child up in a hurry and drowned it. As 'he- was not able to finish his choice job .be*' fore he was disturbed, he made off when about halfway through, so that the little child could be brought back to die on the stiige. ���������'.'.'.��������� I do not think that anyone with his coat off and both hands free could imagine anything more atrocious than a scene like that. 'I. didn't hear, however, that the public had objected to the incident in any way; though, I believe, soma years-'ago ..they hid objected to a public performance because some of tha ladies had their dresses cut too low in tho neck, or too high tit the knees, or something of that sort.

For the Farmer. Mushrooms may be grown in a cellar and in boxes in a dark paleo, but it is hotter to make a bed, consisting of fine manure, with about one-fourth rioh soil. The manure should be allowed to heat and thoroughly decompose, whan tho spawn should be planted. A temperature of about 70 degrees will then ba required.

A aeries of valuable experiments hat just been completed at Storrs Agricultural Experimental Station, Connecticut, with a tuberculous herd of cows. Tha results of these efforts to oradicate tha disease with a minimum of financial loss are of enhanced importance, in view of the fact that, while heated discussions are going on all around us concerning thc relation of tuberculosis to the publio health, controversialists have too often lost sight of the practical utility of experiments. Here, therefore, we have something tangible upon whicli to act. In 1S90 the Connecticut Agricultural College owned a herd or about fifty head of cows and young cattle. Prior to this date the herd consisted of grade animals, mostly of Jersey and Guernsey blood, but in that year fifteen registered Jerseys, Guernseys and Ayrshiros were purchased. Since that time the acquisitions to the herd have been from the natural increase of these animals, and the occasional purchase of grade cows. Up to October, 1SU7, the entire herd wns untainted; .but in .November, IS',18,-a-cow, which had dropped a strong, ������������������vigorous calf in the previous August, and -.from Xew Year's Day to, the 1st of NovciiiLer in I he'latter year had yielded '..02 pound's nf butter, fell.'suddenly. .Hi, at'd. ns'l.hero were no hopes of rc- rnvory. she was skmahtercd in November, 1SS8. a post-mortem examination showing a g.ner:'..'Jzc!l and advanced ensp of tuberculoids. Tlie herd was then tested with tuberculin, when, twelve ani- niaiij responded, making'.a total of fifteen out of a herd of forty-eight animals' that had contracted the disease in o:ie year. di,mc>i->li.ilirg how remarkably infectious it i=. The following are some of the main practical conclusions .arrived at from these experiments:��������� The elimination of tuberculosis from a herd is a gradual'pmccs*.. One tuberculin test is not sullicieut, as neiv eases will develop from time to time. All the breeds represented in the herd were about equally susceptible.". Twenty per cent, of the Jerseys,' twenty-six per .cent..'.of. the Guernseys, twenty-one per pent, of the Ayrshiros, and twenty per cent, of the Holsteins responded to the tuberculin test. The largest producers in the herd were not more susceptible to tuberculosis than those of thc least productive capacity. The disease was not inherited. None of the offspring of the tuberculin animals, seventeen in number, have developed tha disease. Repeated injections of tuberculin often result in a failure to respond. Sixteen animals that had responded once to tuberculin failed to respond to subsequent injections in ten out of* twenty instances, or 50 per cent. The post-mortem examination of certain animals. which previous to slaughter were apparently in good physical condition, showed the disease extensive, virulent and evidently in the infectious state. The post-mortem examination of certain animaU, slaughtered in some cases sixteen months after first response, showed mere traces of the disease, which had then made little or no progress, and the ency****-ed condition of the nodules misht indicate possible recovery. The slow progress of the disease in certain animals and the Tsipid progress in others took place at the same time i under the same sanitary condition*, ia Tha "Savag-aa' ' Banquet. different onder if men know that so few women that we might almost say no woman who is perfectly happy ever seeks a career?

The Chairman, in proposing "Our Guest," regretted very much the absence of Sir Edward Clarke and expressed his fear that his absence was due to his mixing too much in highly civilized society. (Laughter.���������Sir Edward waa engaged as one uf the counsel in the Hartopp divorce case.) Tlie toast he would couple with tbe nume of Sir Harry Johnston. Sir Harry Johnston said Africnn savagery was fast disappearing under th* influence of a not altogether compensating civilization. One wf his first African banquets was in a wild part of West Africa. He was a very timid guest, because he had been hauled out of hia canoe on the Upper Cross Kiver, nnd his porters were imprisoned. It was a feast "in honor of ancestors," and lie was told that the dinner to some extent consisted of tho ancestors themselves. (Laughter.) " He asked about the composition of one rather agreeably flavored dish ot red paste, and was told it was Man! It was made of triturated relative, which had been previously smoked over a iiro of weeds, and had been mixed with palm- oil, red pepper, and salt. Having consumed this enticmct, he became a member of the tribe. (Laughter.) His last African banquet wns in very dilferent circumstances. It wa9 little more limn a year ago. It was an assembly of blacks, but the menu was in French, and the feast was certainly cooked under French influences, so that in this as in other matters Africa was fast losing its savagery, and would in time become as tnme as much of this life seemed to him. But they (tho elub) were developing a little mild savagery, for they were trying to bring to bear a little more of tho real into our artificial life, and per'-raps in that aspect of savafgery they were doing a very .wholesome work.

The old journalism has its points ot superiority over the new, saya Tho London Star. The Times the other morning hnd a great "scoop" story of tha disastrous defeat of the Emperor of Morocco by the Pretender, and printed it in the usual place for news from Fez, on the foreign page, with the plain heading, "The Moorish Revolt. Sultan's Army Routed." Tho new journalism would have filled a column with headlines alone. The story comes from Tho Times' own correspondent, who got away from Fez just in time, and arrived at Tangier on Saturday morning, having ridden through without change of horse, and the last 90 miles without halting. The correspondent in question is Mr. Walter B. Harris, tho well-known traveller and author, who has throughout kept The Times exceptionally well informed of the progress of this Moroccan trouble, and who has had more than ono interview with the Emperor himself. Mr. Harris was reputed, just a year ago, to have been attacked and 'robbed by Arabs in the interior of Morocco, but that story fortunately proved to be unfounded. He has written several books on Morocco and Western Asia, and accompanied Sir Arthur Nicholson's Special Embassy to Morocco in 1800. He married a daughter of the fourth Earl of Mcxborough, whose second daughter married the Prince Lowcnstein SVer* thein, who disappeared so mysteriously three years ago, and was a f ter ward i reported to have fallen while fighting as an adventurer against the Americans in tho Philippine war.

What "is knr/wn as the "bang" or isolation method i* economical when a large herd is affected, or when a-small herd of valuable animals is diseased. Tlie offspring are removed when dropped, and raised on the pasteurized milk. The disposal of the dincased animals may then bo postponed until their increase shall make good the loss of numbers which would he occa-sioned by the final disposal of the diseased members."' That much has been accomplished within the past few years in the antituberculosis cm-ade statist! s shows that human tuberculosis is on the decrease, notwithstanding the larger consumption of both milk and nvuit. So Contract Labor. Six British workmen, who arrived at Sydney on board the steamship Orontes under a contract with a clothing manufacturer, have been refused permission to land under the immigration act. : A Melbourne correspondent of The Times, referring" to the matter, says -.��������� Sir Edmund Barton says that it was imperative to refuse'.'- permission to the six English hatmakers to land at Sydney because the law forbids the admission of men coming under engagement to labor. This provision was made on the motion of the leader of the; Labor party when the immigration bill was before Parliament. The Government then concurred, the object being to prevent employers from importing men ;. during strikes. The community are surprised at the action of the Government in now enforcing the provision at the bidding of a trade union desiring to prevent new men from entering the territory of the Commonwealth. Their trade apart, the opinion of the Labor party is strongly against excluding fellow-subjects from England, whom Australia would rather welcome.

Stopping Trains, lit a. recent report to'tho State Department at Washington the American Consul at Berne, Adblph L. Frankenthal; mentions a' test for stopping railway trains, which he witnessed at the request of an inventor. Thc Consul rodo in tho cab of a locomotive drawing four passenger cars at a speed of 30 miles an hour. At a predetermined place the Westinghouse brakes wero set without any action of the : engineer. The' stoppage of the train was indicated on a* dial, the brakes were then released, and a whistle, which had already once sounded as a warning, of trouble, now .reported the brakes; thrown on. Two pieces of apparatus arc necessary for this service. One is a lever on the truck, which Is raised into the right position whenever the. signal is set to stop a train., lb does not matter whether the signal itself is operated by a, wire, compressed air or electricity. The lever moves when the signal does. Tho other part of the apparatus is mounted on the engine. There is an arm hanging down in such a position that it will be moved whenever the train arrives���������', at the place where the lever is, if the lever sticks up. Ono might suppose that the shock of contact would hurt either the lever or the arm; but the latter ia mounted so as to awing in such a way a.s lo escape injury, and yet perform' 'the duty assigned to it.. That portion of the mechanism which is up in the cab, when it is actuated by the stroke below, sets the brakes with a degree of rapidity that is variable, and that ia controlled by previous adjustment. ������������������Mr.'.'.Frankenthal-' says that several trains on Swiss . roads have: been equipped with this apparatus provisionally, for purposes of experiment, and the hope is entertained thnt the Government will require its general adoption. On trial trip3 in Switzerland a speed of 37 miles an hour was developed. In Austria test were made at various speeds, the maximum being 02 miles an hour.. One road in Germany, oh which several accidents have happened���������the Grossherzogliche Badische���������has ordered a number of its expresses to be thus equipped. The Brandt Swindle. According to the Marquise de Fonto- noy, Germany, like France, has its Humbert swindle, that is to say, a swindle based on a mythical inheritance to the extent of many millions of dollars. It has just been brought to a close by the condemnation of the alleged heirs to the estate to terms of penal servitude by the Berlin courts. It is known as the Brandt affair, and, as in the case of the Humbert-Crawford sw.indlo in France, has led to ull sorts of prominent pcople=being=di'aggcd'=into-iunwilling*tind- unjustified notoriety. Briefly speaking, it aceniH that fifty "or sixty years ago some peoplo of the name of Brandt, citizen* of the little town; of Acherslehcn, went to thc father of the present Count Douglas, who wits filling lhe office of their Mayor, told liim that thoy wero heirs to n fortune left by an uncestor of theirs at Amsterdam nt the close of tbe eighteenth century, and asked him to help them in getting hold of what was due to them from tho Dutch authorities. Old Count Douglas, whose son is now the most intimate friend and crony of the Kaiser, paid little attention to the affair, warned the peoplo that:hs believed it to be a myth, and paid no further attontion to tho matter. Nothing mora was heard about the matter until in 1888, whicli-lhc Brandts started in to endeavor-to obtain money from the present Count Douglas on tha ground that his father had taken their papers and had milde use of them in order to appropriate'to himself tbo iirnndt fortune tit Amsterdam, amounting, thoy declared, to 8,000,000 florins. Tliey pointed out that in the '00s th* wealth of the Douglases was greatly increased, and insisted that this was due to the Brandt money. Lawsuits- which they brought demonstrated the complctu absurdity of the story. In spite of this they went on accusing Count Douglas of haying wrongfully: secured possession of their mythical inheritance.and obtained loans right and left on the strength of stories thnt the courts would yet forco Count Douglas to disgorge. - "I beg your pardon, doctor," said tho toastmastcr, nfter the dinner was over, "for introducing you inadvertently 'as 'professor.'"

The bare mention of his name was enough to bring the flush to her cheek and the love-light to her eyes: She loved him, and was not yet free enough with Marjorie to speak to her > of her love. . So much Marjorie was quick to un- ! gerstand. *. ' But Madeline was by* no means equally reticent concerning Charles. j Of Mm she spoke freely enough; and, although she framed no word of actual ���������disparagement, it was oasy to see sho . wished to prejudice the girl against j bim. > . A far less -Intelligent person than .Marjorie would have discovered this. I She could not help'a feeling of em* [ barrassment. j It impelled her 'o touch some of tha little.articles which littered MissHyde'a toilet table. j At first she fingered :lhem abstract* end strained, though she was snuggling hard for calmness. Aa to heriace, it was shaded by ha hand. Almost wild with excitement, Marjorie went to do her bidding. The moment tha door had closed ot her, Madeline drew her hand from before her face, revealing it ghastly wltl horror. An awful shudder ran through net frame. "My God!" she cried, in a sort a desperate agony. "Oh! My God." It was three or four minutes heron Marjorie returned. The cherished fragment had been pit* away .so carefully that it had taken hei some time to find it. Those three or four minutes had sufficed to restore Madeline to somethlnf like composure. When Marjorie quitted the room n was with difficulty, Miss Hyde kepi herself from fainting; but she had dipped her face into a ewer of ice- cold water, and by that means ha< brought some slight vestige of coloi Into lt again. It had braced.her nerves, and pro* pared her to think and plan. "See!" said Marjorie, kneeling dowi on the hearthrus In front of her, am! disclosing a tiny fragment of blui enamel in the corner of an Ivory box; "If you put lt on the locket it fits ex* actly." It did Indeed. How strange it seemed that that do tached fragment should meet with thi stolen locket after all those years. "How long have you had it? When did you buy it? Oh, will you tell mo please?" cried Marjorie, still In great excitement. Miss Hyde passed her hand acroa her brow, with a gesture of weariness as" she said��������� "I've been trying to think, Marjorie I have so many articles of jewelry, anc have had this particular locket so long that I am not quite certain for the moment where it came from. Ah! I. remember now. I bought it in London- It was about five years since, I think��������� at a shop in the neighborhood of Ludgate Hill. It was a second-hand shop and I saw the locket one day in thi window, and ��������� went In to- buy it Wi Were living In London, then." "And the shop was near Ludgatt Hill?" .questioned Marjorie; breath le-isly. "Somewhere near there���������in thi neighbourhood of St. Paul's, at an) rate. It is so long ago, I can't h> quite certain as to the exact spot." The look of eagerness faded fron Marjorle's face, to be replaced by oni of sadness. The locket seemed but a slender cluV by which to trace her father's murder er, after all'. "And it was chipped when ..yoii bought it?*' she asked, after a pause. "Oh, yes," said Madeline, wlthou hesitation. After a moment or two she added-*- "I didn't notice that till I had "���������-*: edly, and without noticing what they. were, but after a minute or two sha turned deathly pale, and uttered a Kolne> Rnd ���������**. alQn*t seem worth while jasplng cry. w return It." She held in her hand the locket , Madeline broke ** ������f aayln������������ ver' which had been stolen from her fa- ' ther's escritoire on that fatal Valen* tine morning. Nine years had passed , since that dead father showed it her���������nine years. She was then a child; she was a woman now.

This locket!" ���������^Andsheheldlt out-ln-her -trembling lingers. "What Is the matter with the locket, ilsrjorle?" "I have seen It before. It belonged to my father. He was murdered, and this was stolen from him." Pale as Marjorle's face was, it was ���������careely as pale as Madallne's as she beard these words. She had risen to her feet In hor flrs\ ���������excitement: but now she was too much agitated to'continue In that attitude, Trembling, she sank into her seal again. &T ���������<r ���������is'��������� *** 1 "See!" exclaimed Marjorie, too mud agitated herself to notice the agitation of her friend. "See this little chip ir the enamel! I did that. . My.'-fathci showed me the locket, apd I dropped I' on the hearth���������only'five minutes before he was murdered. Afterwards, mj mother found tho bit of enamel in tin drawer, and I have kept lt over since it Is In my room at this very moment.' . "Go and get it," said Madeline. -*. Her voice sounded strangely hoarsv I "Marjorie, tell me all about lt���������your ���������father's death, I mean." As she spoke she laid one hand on ���������Mnrjorle's, while the other she pressed to her own forehead, half shading her face. "I seldom speak of it," eald MarJ-orie, ladly, Vtor it is very, very painful to me. I was a little child at tha time, and I saw the murderer." "What?" Madeline's Tolce rose almost to a scream, so greatly was she affected by this Intelligence." = Marjorie hastened to explain, that it Iras only the shape, not the features, of the murderer she had seen/and then, very briefly and simply, sha rotated the main Incidents of the tragedy which had cast so dark a shadow over her young life. Madeline, still shading her face with her hand, listened in silence and when the story was concluded she said, very quietly and calmly��������� "Marjorie, I'm glnd you'vo told ma this, because, knowing how much you've had to suffer, I shall be aide to sympathize with you���������and .help you, too, I hope. But I think you are wise J in not speaking of it to every one." "I couldn't do that," said Marjorie, eoftly, "even after all these years, it is'too painful to me. I did love my father���������he was so good to me. Oh, ho was kind and good to everybody. I don't think he ever did an unkind act in his life." ' ��������� A tear:had trembled on her long, dark.lashes; but now she dashed it away, and her beautiful face was very stern, as she added��������� "The man who killed him must have 6oen fiendishly cruel! Some day his crime will find him out I feel it���������I feel It here!" She pressed her hand to her heart. "And would you "wish that, Marjorie?" asked Miss Hyde, with an accent of horror. "You are so gen tlo nnd���������" The look of sternness deepened oa Mnrjorle's face. "If I could trace my father's mur. derer. and give hlni. up to justice, I would most certainly do it," she answered. "I hope I am not vindictive. lfl no other Instance in all my lite Xmve I ever felt the slightest wisn io punish an enemy. But this man���������this murder���������deserves neither pity nor pardon. For the sake of money he killed one of the best and kindest men that ever lived. He has two lives to Answer for. He murdered my father, and broke my mother's heart." Marjorie was standing erect now. The lamplight fell upon her face, re- ���������realing thc firm Iiues about the mouth, the look of steady purpose In tbe lustrous, dark-lashed eyes. All the softness and gentleness had fled from her face. Sho was no longer a soft, tender girl, but a woman with a wrong to avenge. The sight of the Uicket. which was to have been her dead mother's valentine, had transformed her thus. If ever fate delivered that midnight murderer Into her bunds, he would 11 ml this slender, delicate young creature a stern and bitter Nemesis to reckon with. "I cannot wonder at your feelings." eald Madeline, slowly. "If I were In your place perhaps I should feel the same. It was an awful���������a terrlblo crime. But when one thinks of the (penalty the law awards to lt���������to bo hanged by the neck���������" She broke off with a shudder, and eald no more. "It is horrible, but it Is just," said Marjorie calmly, though aha too, trembled. "But If," resumed Madeline, after a pause, "nine years have elapsed, and the police haven't been able all this time to discover the slightest clue, it ts unlikely they will ever find ono now." "And yet yon see I have been dl������ ffected to this locket after all these years." "Yes, hut what goood can that do"!* eald Madeline, hurriedly and with a slight change of color. "This man from whom*I bought It was a respectable tradesman. Most likely it has passed through several hands before it came to him. After all these years, it would be next to impossible to trace it." "Perhaps so. And yet the very sight sf It has given me a strange feeling, as though lt will not be long before tho murderer Is found. I have faith to believe that my father's blood has not cried for vengeance all these years in ���������fain." CHAPTER V. ' The Bit of Blue Enamel. The next morning Madeline found fcerself so unwell that it was clear sha would not be able to go down stairs for breakfast, if, indeed, she were not confined to her room for several days. Marjorie constituted herself her personal1 attendant, nursing her'with solicitude, and feeling her heart drawn towards her in great tenderness now that she lay weak and ill. There was no coldness in Madeline's manner now. She clung to Marjorie as though she Coved herr and wanted to win her love'. And very soon Marjorie did love her, tor, as Madeline unfolded her nature to her day'by day, she found in It a' wealth of generous, qualities such as could not fail to touch her heart. Mr. Hyde was deeply concerned about his daughter, nnd visited her sickroom at least half a dozen times a day. Edgar Hyde,.though he made con- Itant inquiries, did .not strike Marlowe as being overwhelmed with grief. The doctor suid that Madeline was ' ffl a highly feverh'.h ptate. and It jvhk ������������������**. *���������_-������*��������������������������� concluded ��������� she had taken cold ��������� while skating. It seemed unlikely, now that there would; be any torch-light skating parly, as had been suggested, on St.' "Valentine's day. Madeline was confined to her,room for c. week, and although Marjorie de- roted herself to her, yet there were times���������a great many of them���������when she was thrown into the company of the gentlemen downstairs. " Mr. Hyde was extremely fond ot music, and Marjorle's singing so delighted him that he begged her to come downstairs for an hour or two every evening, while a maid sat with Madeline. That both of the young me* admire* >er,_MarJerie_'*������uld_not:_JwiP^_h8intt_ aware of. Edgar would hang over her as she sat at the piano, singing the sweet sacred melodies his uncle loved; and It wus evident he regarded with jealous anger any attempt of bis brother's to oust . him from his place. This troubled Marjorie. In the flrst place, she did not partle- elarly care for Edgar; and on that ue- countalone his attentions would havo been distasteful; in the second place, elie believed liim to be, If not absolutely tbe affianced husband.of Madeline, the man on whom her heart's best love was set, and whose love she had somo right to expect in return. Charles, on the other hand, she.llki-d exceedingly; nay, there Was some danger of net -.liking ripening Into lovo. Ills frank,'pleasant face was fast bo- .coming the most attractive thing lier eyes could look upon. His voice and his smile had power, ta; make her heartbeat fast. One day she went .for a run in. the ffood3 at the .back of the house. Madeline had declared she was grow* Ing pale with her unremitting a'.'encl- ance on her, and had urged her to go out for half an hour to breathe tha clear, cold air. "There are snowdrops in the wood, Marjorie," she said. "Get some for me, please. I think they are my favorite llowera." So to the wood Marjorie went, anil was looking for tho graceful snow flowers at the rcots of the sheltering trees, when Cl'arlea Hyde came aloug one of the paths. His frank, healthful face was glow tng with exercise, and bright with good humor, lie WrtUcu with a brisk, nr.n tread, whistiictc a lively tune. He stopped short at sight of Mar* Jorie, his bright face growing brighter than ever. "Why, Marjorie." he exclaimed', joy** ously, "you here? What a pleasant surprise!" The girl blushed rosily, and stooped to gather a snowdrop that grew at untl feet. How lt had come about that he oe������ tasionally called her Marjorie she her-* self scarcely knew. Perhaps because his uncle, in picas** ant, fatherly fashion, had fallen into this mode of address; perhaps it w*aa elmply because he was an audacious young man, and liked to do lt. However, this may be Marjorie by no means objected to hear lt, and thought her name never sounded so ���������weet as when it fell from his .lips. "Shall we sit down a moment? Will It give you cold?" he said, pausing against the trunk ot a fallen tree. "Oh, no!" \ "Havo yon heard about the attempt* ���������A burglary at Mortimer House?" he asked, a little abruptly, after they had tat for a moment or two. "No; when was it?" "Well, It happened last night. For* Innately some ot the servants heard! a noise, and gave the alarm In time. Nothing waa taken; but, on the other band, tha burglars made their escape In safety. It Is suspected they belong to a wonderfully clever gang, - who have baffled the police for years. They gain entrance into houses In the most skilful manner, and do not atop at violence���������or even murder���������lt they meet ���������With any resistance." Aa he aald this, his eyes were fixed OB Marjorle's faee with a keen, though furtive gaze. It was aa though he wero watching for soma look of suspicion���������as though he were half expecting that his description of the mysterious gang ot thieves would awaken some special in* terest in her mind. And It did���������though not in the wa), lie had expected. Her cheek flushed, and her breath came fast. She uttered such an exclamation of surprise and horror that It startled him. "What is it, Marjorie?" he asked, looking at her curiously. "Mr. Hyde, my father was murder** ed at midnight by a thief who camoto rob him!" He looked amazed���������bewildered. "Your -father? ��������� when? ��������� how long ago?" he queried, in a voice which, try as he might, he could not keep quito free from excitement.. "Nine years ago. We lived in West* tnoreland then���������at rather a lonely house. My father was writing a book, and he always sat up late alone. _ One night���������it was Valentine's eve���������he was murdered���������stabbed to the heart by some villain for the sake of a hundred pounds in bank notes which had been paid to him that day." .Again the young, man cast on her a strange look. "I fancy I remember something- ol that murder," he said slowly. "But the name���������surely it was not St. Clair?" "Oh. no!" And'then Marjorie explained hrieflj, how she had come to change her name. She']told him, too, that her full name was Ethel Marjorie," and that' it was as Elhel Bruce she had been spoken ot in the newspapers at the time of the murder. "Tell me all about* it,, will you?" he said, and she comp-isd, beginning with tier father's mysterious dream, and soncludlng with the extraordinary, coincidence of Madeline's possession ot lhe''locket. So amazed was he nt this that he eoiild not repress a start, and,' if he had not kept his eyes bent on the ground, Marjorie must hnve marvelled at tho suange look in them. She went on to tell him how she had preserved the little piece of blue enamel, and, by that means, was able to prove, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that Madeline's locket -was the one Which had been stolen from her fathei an that fatal night. "That bit of blue enamel Is of the uU ���������aost importance!" - exclaimed Hyde, raising his head far the first time during the narrative. "Take every care of lt. Where do you keep it, Marjorie?" "Oh, It is quite safe. "Ihaven'tkept It all these years to lose It now. I Canada, in 1884. Among a lot ot old newspapers discovered in the cellar of the old Hall of Records building, New York, whiclu is being torn down to make room for the subway, one of tho tunnel laborers the other day found a book printed in London in 1834 and entitled "Manners, Customs mid Costumes of All Nations of the World." One J. Aspin appears on tho title page as the author, and in his introduction he tells his readers that he takes them on a trip round thewoiM without the expense of travel, and in a wny to acquaint them with tlie folks of various binds, "without exposure to the fatigues und dangers of loug journeys by land and water, the perils of tho ocean, the inclemency, of foreign climes, the ferocity of uncivilized tribes, or tho artifices that nmong politer nations aro too frequently practised upon the inexperienced.

These, the author says, are thc two principal foods in China, aside from rice. Of Canada the author says that the Government is free, but "'learning has made so little progress that few of the natives can cither read or write." He announces., also that "at an early period of life the Canadian is healthy and robust, but his strength is not of long duration, and he soon looks old. Accustomed to concern himself only in his own affairs, ho is not remarkable for constancy of friendship, and is rarely liable to be overreached in traffic."

The pas-ion for strong liquors is carried to great excess ,and all the ladies smoke small cigars."

During the last two or three years ft, great deal of interest has been taken in the subject of feeding roots to swine. Formerly a prejudice existed against them on account of an idea that titeir use was responsible for a considerable portion of the soft bacon produced in the Canadian packing houses at certain .seasons of the year. Careful experiment has shown, however, that roots can be fed in moderata quantities ,combined with other feed without any , injurious eti'ects on tbe quality of the pork produced. As heavy root crops can be easily and economically grown in nearly all those portions of Canada where swine- raising is carried on extensively, the fact that roots can be profitably fed without injury to the bacon, and with positive bcnelit so far as thc general thrift of the animal is concerned, becomes of considerable importance to our farmers. ���������li'iglit pounds of mangels or carrots and about the same weight, or a little I less, of sugar beets arc equal in value to one pound of grain.

Alphonse Duhamel ot Paris has made a timepiece that stands twelve feet high, and is composed entirely of bicycles or their component parts.. The framework Is a huge bicycle wheel, around Which are arranged twelve ordinary-sized wheels, all. fitted with pneumatic tires. A rim within the large wheel bears the; figures tor the hours, the figures themselves being constructed of crank rods. .The hands are made of steel tubing, which is used for the framework of bicycles. The minute strokes on the dial are small nickel-plated spokes. The top of the J ���������'lock is an arrangement of twelve ! nandle-bars. The clock strikes the i hours and the quarters, bicycle-bells ! of course making the chines. The pendulum is made of a bicycle wheel, and the pendulum-rod of various parts of a bicycle frame. It Is said that the clock, besides being a curiosity, is an excellent timepiece. It Is to adorn one of the public buildings of Paris.

Although wc ���������must disagree with bis ideas on fiscal matters, still there remains a grout ml mi ration for holiest belief acroin* pxnied by unstinted labor for u conceived right. How different was CobdciiV work for free trade from that of those now in power at Oltnwi. Cobdnn spoke free trade and believed in it; Laurier, Fielding and that ilk lffivc shouted free trade and winked the other eye.

The recommendations of tlie City Council and "Board of School Trustees set forth in their joint meeting with the local member, :is reported in ���������nother column, should receive the approval of every citizen, no mutter whether supporting Mi*. Taylor or not. After any election all hands should join in advancing local interests irrespective of politics, and stand united in pressing our wants before the powers that be. We should, to use a colloquialism, '���������cut out" the present method of procedure in representing our needs to tbe Government. Irresponsible wire-pullers serve tlieir own interests first and those of the city and constituency afterwards and The Herald will in the future as in the past advocate united assistance of the local member of whatever side of politics. Revelstoke has a great future before ~Tc7 as practically tlie geograplHcSl" centreof the Province, and its interests will never be properly conserved while certain classes in the community let political rancour becloud their consideration of public questions, i'nion in always strength, and by united effort alone will our city take its proper place among the communities of the Pi-ovince.

In discussing the Railway Coin- mission Bill at Ottawa the other day, the question arose as to whether the proposed control of. rates would con flict with the rights of piovinces who had made contracts with railways including such control. The Minister was unable.to answer off-hand. It is up to B, C. members to preserve our rights, as if it be held that the proposed Commission overrides provincial contracts, all local railway Acts-of recent years will be valueless in ai. essential feature.

The Vancouver Province, acting possibly as an "inspired'' organ, has started a crawfishing campaign for thn Grits, and now advocates an enlarged membership of the Senate. Considering the fact that a few years ago the Senate was " a monument of obstruction '' and " a menace to the will of the people." Bro. Nichol's position is somewhat humorous. Perhaps he thinks the other new .Senator should lie a good Grit editor, too. The Koss Government has been urged by prominent Liberals to resign owing to the Gamey charges. The request has nothing to do with the morality of the case, but is brought forward merely on the off chance that Lhe voters in Ontario may forget somewhat of the scandal before next Dominion election.

It is proposed, in this column, to give week IA* wi*ok a synopsis of lioUoii cuntnineil in the Kootonny Mail. Tho stulV in question does not iippcar in this "Story Companion" hut, tlio editorial section, evidently the work of tho loenl lyre. The principal pipe dream in last week's issue is it yarn that Price Kllison, 31.P.P., of Vernon, will be to the Government next liec-msii Proiniot* Prior has lo acquire und sub-divide opposed scission, proposed liivjro evtates. It i.s truo that* M. l-'llisnn has a fair sized fiirm, but eouipnred with the holdings of Lord Aberdeen and others it is certainly not a Int-go estate. The humour of the situation is found in the fact that the minister of Piimnee is part owner and iiiitnii(rer of thu largest estate in the province. .U New Westminster last full, when addressing the Forestry Association, Mr. Prentice stated with pride that with his father and father in law lie held no less than 212 square miles ! Whereat one wns disposed to say, "Thank God, his wife, mother urd mother inlaw are not in the grab game too.'* Our contempor.-try also devotes a couple of paragraphs to laudation of ,1. Bullion Ilobson, the Curilioo hydraulic man, terming him "enterprising, skilful and generous.'' Without wishing to detract from the professional qualifications of the gentleman in question it seems rather too much to class as "generous" the man who employs more Mongolian labor than any mine manager in the Province except Dunsmuir,. And of course tl ��������� lately honorable "Jim" is beyond redemption. The Mail also states that during the present strike the C. P. It. has "ap pointed" special constables. Now the appointment of such is entirely within the province of the crown and its law ollirers, as, although the C. P..R. it* paying the men in question; they cou'd not exercise their functions without being sworn in. The trouble both during the present and the trackmen's strike.was'a'nd.is that Attorney-Gen- ernl* El'erts permits - the unlimited swearing in of peace officers. This could any day be prevented by instructions being i.-sued to J. P's. not lu exeicise this power unless specifically requiredjSo to do by the Government.

Old Camden has vividly described the vexation of soul undergone "by nnagrammntlsts when oft-repcateil effort, with nn oft- repeated approximation to success, have tlnally resulted In loss of time and labor: 'Some have been seen,' he says, 'to bite their pens, scratch their heads, bend their brows, bite their lips, beat their board, their paper, when they were fair for somewhat and caught nolhlug herein.' Again, let him comfort himself hy the reflection that no one has yet succeeded In making a trood English anagram on United States. . Anagrammatlsts have been forced'to fall back upon .the more fluent and manageable Latin. It has been discovered that the letters forming United States may bo transposed Into the following Latin words: In te deus stat. "God stands In thee." Inde tutus stat. "Hence thou stand* est .safely." Dentatus est. "He has teeth," the "he" evidentlyreferriwg to Uncle Sam. /Desiste, nutat! "Hands off, he sTiakes!" a sentiment which may have been applicable in 1S61, when It was made, but Is now, thank Heaven, without meaning or point. Slste, nudat te. "Stop, he strips thee," which might be revived to-day by the Anti-Imperialists in their warnings to our new subjects in 'Cuba and the Philippines. A te desistunt. "They keep off from thee," which Is exactly the attitude which the anil's 'wish the United States '- assume towards Cuba and the PitfJ. NOTICE. Tliii-tv dnvs after ilnle I intend lo a)>]ily to tin.

Commenting on the phenomenal sale of some recent novels, a correspondent of the "Book Buyer" writes interestingly-of notable .books that years ago were popular, but since have become practically unknown. He says: There was once a very popular preacher who wrote many books, and for every one there .wtas a large demand, on the day of publication. But most of them passed out of print while he was still living, and I doubt If a single one of them Is now kept in stock-by any bookstore. Not many years ago appeared a book which the laboring classes and the tenement- house population bought so eagerly as to run the sale Into the hundreds of thousands, because they thought It showed how an equal distribution of all property might be brought, about. Now it appears to be dead. Helper's "Impending Crisis" attained a sale' of 140,000 copies, forty years a.go, which was as great an achievement as half a million would be to-day. .That was because of Its bearing on burning political questions and the fact that It was systematically attacked in Congress. Now you can occasionally And .a_etra*f_copy_of_lt_ln_a_second-hand- ehop. Tourfjee's "Fool's Errand," twenty years later, reached about the same circulation. For purposes of comparison, this and "Uncle Tom's Cabin" would seem to be closely analogous, But while the "Fool's Errand" has almost, If not quite, gone out of circulation, -Mrs. Stowe's great novel, thirty years older, still sells largely'in several editions, and at many libraries Is called* for more frequently than any ether book. Mrs. Stephens' "Fashion and Famine" was the best selling novel of its day, and three translations of lt ���������were published "in France. But to-day tt Is difficult to find a copy of It anywhere except in the lumber-room of a public library. Another example may be seen In the midden popularity and subsequent deadness of "Robert Els- mere," the author of which is still writing successful books. ."Were lt not that It might seem like telling tales out of school, something could be said of certain books that have begun life with a phenomenal sale, which has stopped suddenly and unaccountably, as If at some mysterious signal. For the reverse of the picture, the most notable example Is afforded by "Ben Hur." This book had no sale worth mentioning for a year after its publication, and was considered dead. Now lt Is said to have attained a circulation surpassing that of any other American novel, wdth the single exception of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Someone might prepare a curious and entertaining article on three classes of books jn light literature: 1. Those that have had an Immediate large sale, and have then gone to oblivion. 2. Those that have had no sale at flrst, but afterward have met with large success. 3. Those that have been popular at the start and never lost Wtelr popularity. The first class would be the largest. Probably the second -class -would be the smallest. Tlwo that .would shine In the third are the "Autocrat at the Breakfast Table" ���������nd "Reveries of a Bachelor." For Sale.

"Have you bought the clolhes, Tom?" ; "Yes, Mary." "And brought the hill with you?" 1 "Yes, Mary." "Then let me s*~*e lt." Tom Bedson meekly drew a piece ot carefully folded paper from his waistcoat pocket, and with a rueful look handed it to the young lady who had been subjecting; him to cross-examination. And a very imperious young wo- tD.an~.she looked as she leaned back In her chair and regarded the young man opposite with a close scrutiny. Tall and dark, with clear-cut features, n broad, white forehead, and eyes whose steady gaze was nt times almost disconcerting, Mary Branltsome wns n ���������girl in whom any man might feel proud to have awakened nn Interest. That tTom Bedson should have succeeded In doing so was a constant source of surprise to their mutual friends. The announcement of their engagement was greeted with uplifted eyebrows, and unrestrained speculation as to how long lt would last. The two were so ���������different In disposition. Mary Brank- aome took a serious view of life, "while Tom Bedson was notoriously easy-going in a harmless way. His means ���������were moderate but his tastes extravagant. He spent a prodigious amount of money on his clothes, and prided himself on being the best-dressed man In . BColohester. To Mary this characteristic of her betrothed was a source of anxiety. She ��������� .wa* weH oft, and at her father's death ���������would Inherit a comfortable fortune, but she regarded everything from the point of view of a stringently defined principle, and a tendency to extravagance and unnecessary personal adornment, even with unlimited means at command, was distasteful to her. "Fourteen dollars and ninety-eight ���������cents?" she said, regarding the piece ot paper In her hand. "That seems reasonable enough. Do they look respectable?" "Respectable enough," replied tho young man with a dismal laugh. "Too respectable. They are the regular 'Sun- iflay best' style. It's pretty rough on me, you know, Mary." "It's for your own good, Tom," was the girl's reply. "You are too extravagant, and I want you to show that you can be man enough to curb a serious tailing even at the expense of your .vanity. It does not seem to me that I ���������am asking such a wonderful sacrifice. Eurely to wear a ready-made suit of clothes for three months is not such a ���������direful probation. Think of yourself as my knight, and that suit as the armor In which you are to win me." "But It's such a confoundedly badly- flttlng suit of armor," groaned Tom. "Really. Tom, you are ridiculous. Either agree now to do as I ask you, or say at once that you do not think that I am worth the effort. I will certainly never marry any man who will not do as-much as that for my sake." Tom hastily disclaimed any idea of a refusal. At the same time he thought Hejectedly. of .the numerous well-cut ���������ults which reposed: in his wardrobes, and In fancy saw himself, dressed. In reach-me-downs, going wearily along a path 'beset with the smiles and Jeers of his friends. "Then that's settled," said Mary, briskly, when Tom had made due subjection. "You had better wear It for the first time to-morrow at Alma Tres- sllls's wedding."1 "Oh, I say, Mary���������" Tom protested. "Tou will wear it," repeated Mary, Bternly, "at Alma Tressilis's wedding." "Oh, all right then." replied the young man, a trifle sulkily. "I shall not be there myself," Mary continued,-"but that need not make any difference. Think, Tom, how happy I shall be, knowing that you care for me enough to sacrifice your pride for my sake." She spoke in a caressing tone so unusual with her, that Tom was at once eppeased, and expressed himself a3 willing to attend the wedding In his flowered dressing-gown If she so desired lt. When the time arrived for Tom Bed- eon to dress for the Tressills wedding, he unfastened the parcel which contained the ready-made suit, and, after regarding the component parts for a tew moments with extreme distaste, proceeded to put them on. The fit teemed even wor3e than when he had Inspected himself in the store mirror. The young man who sold them to him bad said that it was a most gentlemanly suit. He must have been an ass. No matter what view he took ot himself, profile or full-face, a dozen blemishes manifested themselves to his critical -eye.^and^wrlnk.es^app^ared where no ���������wrinkles ought to be. ---^= "Oh! hang it all," he muttered. "It's too bad of Mary; I simply can't go looking like this." He divested himself of the suit, and put on the latest creation of his tailor. "Just to see the difference." The Improvement In his: appearance was so great that he began seriously to contemplate the advisability ot putting off the evil day, "Mary won't be there," he argued with himself, "and nobody will be likely afterwards to "remember what clothes I wore." liis conscience put up a pretty good flc-ht in b*~h"ilf of th** promise which ha had made, but vanity came out victorious, and, having donned a big overcoat, and kicked the- offensive ready- made clothes Into a cupboard, Tom hurried off to the wedding. *T have come after all, Tom." The young man was just entering thi cloak-room. and. starting violently, turned to meet the smiling face of his betrothed. "I nm longing to ������ee you In your new clothe**-." slit- snid. "I will wait for you. Don't be long." Tom ga.--p*-*d inai tlctil.iteiy and sought refuge in the convenient shel- i ter of the cloak-room. This was a complication for which he hnd not bar- S**\Itic*d. "What a we.ik ass he had r,een. How could he face the look ot cold dl.'ijpproval in Mary's eyes whon Bhe realized that he had failed to keep faith with her? U was quite on the cards that she might see fit to break off the engagement. Anything rather than that. The room was empty, with' the exception of himself and the attendant, and he leaned dismally against a table, undisturbed, a.s these gloomy reflections passed through his mind, 'i he chances of making his escape undetected, by feigning ,- sudden indisposition, were weighed, but the idea wa.s dismissed as Impracticable. "Was there no way out of the difTlcu'.ly? His gaze wandered absently to tho | attendant, who was watching him wiui Borne curiosity, and a brilliant idea flashed upon him. The man was something of his own build, a trifle shorter, perhaps, and he was dressed in a suit of biack which was respectable enough, if a little shiny in places. "What is your name?" he asked abruptly. "Thomas Robinson, sir," was the reply. "Look here, Thomas," said the embarrassed lover. "I want you to exchange clolhes with me." "I beg your pardon, sir," the other replied, in great astonishment. "Change clothes did you say, sir?" "Ves, don't stand staring. It's lm- porinnt. Look here. I'll give you live dollars to do lt, nnd nfter the show we'll change back again, or you can keep my clothes, whichever you prefer. Oh, damn It nil, man, hurry up!" So Impetuous wns Tom's urging, and so eloquent the five dollar bill which ho fluttered, that tho attendant, scarcely conscious of his own movement!*. Buffered himself to be led Into a hidden corner, where he speedily removed his outer husk. "Put 'em on!" cried Tom, thrusting a bundle of his own1 clothes on the man, and rapidly attiring himself In the other's suit. "Quick! before anyone comes!" The exchange was happily effected without Interruption, and Tom hurried out. He caught a fleeting glimpse of his figure in a large mirror, and noticed that fully, half an inch of pink sock was visible above his shoe, and that the general Impression created by his newly-acquired garments was one of extreme tightness. He was too much relieved, however, at his escape from a most embarrassing position to be greatly concerned about his appearance. "Good gracious, Tom!" Mary cried, when she caught sight of him. "Whai a horrible suit. Why, it's not new." "Not quite new," Tom replied. "It's been a) little worn. I thought It better not to get a brand-new-suit; they look so beastly, and this is really very good material. Cheap, too," he added. "I thought I might as well do the thing properly while I was about lt." "your enthusiasm does you great credit, my dear boy," Mary said. "But really, there wa3 no reason that you should make yourself look such a fright." "It was for your sake, Mary," the young man urged reproachfully. The girl's face softened. "Tou are a dear, good fellow," she said: "a true knight. Don't think that I am unap- preciative, but really " ���������'.'.-��������� She stopped as she noticed a stare, and a half grin of surprise, on the faces of a couple Who met them. She was not altogether satisfied with the success of her experiment, and had a dim idea that Tom had carried out her instructions to tills extravagant extreme in order to punish her. She dismissed; the suggestion, however, as ungenerous, and was more than usually tender in her manner in consequence. Although handicapped by a consciousness of his own ludicrous appearance, Tom was nevertheless happy In the smiles of his betrothed. He even began to give himself credit for genuine self-sacrifice, and to feel that he was to some extent deserving of Uie encomiums which Mury bestowed upon him. Mr. Branksome, Mary's father, who had been previously apprised ot the promise which Tom had given, was quite facetious nt his expense, but he Was not particularly well pleased to be identified with -..the ill-fitting suit, and suggested an early adjournment, to which the young people readily assented. "You will come home with us, of course," Mary said to Tom. and tlie young man, who was longing for an opportunity to get rid of liis garments, was obliged to accept the Invitation. "Give me. a cigarette, Tom," Mr. Branksome said, as they drove away. Tom felt in his pockets, and suddenly remembered that he had left his case in the suit which the attendant was now wearing. "1���������I'm afraid I haven't got It with* me," he stammered. "Tom without his inevitable cigarette-case!" laughed Mary. "Wonders will never cease! Don't look so disturbed, my dear boy." Tom's efforts to find his case had disclosed to the keen eye of Mr. Brank- some .the ends of a couple of cigars protruding ..from his waistcoat pocket, and he demanded one, delivering at the same time a brief disquisition on the unwisdom of carrying good cigars in such a careless fashion. "There is one thing about you that I can always trust, Tom," he said, "and that Is your tobacco. For a young man you are not a bad judge." Tom ~~slowl-r~proddced-"one=-of-the=cl was, The paper waa of a florid tint, nnd there was a fine gilt edge to lt. Not at all the kind of paper which people of his class were In the habit of using In their correspondence. He dreaded what might be revealed when the blank space became filled. Mary continued to scribble, occasionally stopping to bile her pencil and think of some necessary Item in ���������"> man's expenditure. Gradually the whole of the back of tlie letter wns filled, and Tom gave an involuntary gasp as the girl with a quick movement turned it over to find more space to continue -her work. He saw a sudden start of surprise, tho red lips droop at the corners with a look of contempt, nnd an expression of pain and aversion cloud the clear eyes. Then he knew thnt he was in for it. The girl's face was very pale as she handed tho letter back to him. "1 am sorry that I should have read your privute correspondence," she said, haughtily. Tom took the letter from her, nnd his jaw dropped as he read It. "Dear Tommy Tlddleums," lt began. What a horrible name! "More than that," she continued, slowly, "she showed me a card-case which you had given her. It was lying on the table in her room; I have brought it with mo." With these words the girl look something from the drawer of the writing- table and held it out lor Tom's inspection. It was his own clgnrette-caso, with his initials embossed in silver. "Our Interview was a short one," Mary continued, as Tom remained speechless. "She said that sho knew but little ot you; that you had made her acquaintance in a very Informal manner a fortnight ago, and that you had represented yourself ns a Mr. Robinson." There was a tone of deep disgust in Mary's voice as she pronounced tho supposed alias. "She also mentioned thnt last night, after you had left me���������oh! Tom���������-Tom���������you told her that you had been at the Tressills wedding. I*���������I did not think It necessary to mention that we had been engaged, and I will ask you not to refer to It when you see her again." The young man's head was a chaos ������������������_,,, ���������. . i of conflicting emotions. "That clgnr- "Dear Tommy Tiddleums-Meet me ctte.caSe-" he began, In a choking -morrow in tho shiha ������������������nlnnn. mul vnlpi* to-morrow In the same place, and please don't have a skate on this time. "Your own, "MOLLIE MULHERN." "Well?" said the girl, after a few seconds' silence, which Tom had employed In staring at the fatal letter, and wondering in a dazed, hopeless way how he was going to get out of It. "Well, Mr. Bedson���������have you nothing to say?" "Look here, Mary!" he replied ap- peallngly; "this confounded letter Isn't mine. I don't know how It got hereupon my soul, I don't. I don't know any Mollle Mulhern; never heard of her in my life.". "You can hardly expect me to believe that," said the girl coldly. "But it's true!" cried the young man. "This Is a second-hand suit, and I suppose the ass that owned lt didn't know any better than to leave his love-letters in the pockets when he sold it." "Give me the letter." Mary took It and scrutinized lt again. "When did you buy the clothes?" "The day before yesterday!" Tom cried, seeing a way out of the trouble. "It's all very simple. The Idiot " "This letter is dated yesterday." Tom felt very much as if someone had thrown a pail of cold water over him. Thore was' evidently nothing for It but to make a clean breast ot th������ whole deception. "Look here, Mary," he began. "Miss Branksome, now, if you please; and I have no desire to hear anything about It. Your love affairs do not Interest me. No, Mr. Bedson, I will not hear a word. I will see this girl���������th*~ address is on the letter���������and thoroughly satisfy myself of the truth. Now go at once! Go���������or I will ring for a servant!" Her manner was so commanding, and Tom's head Was in such a whirl, that he bilntlly obeyed her, and rushed home In a state of mind bordering upon lun acy. That evening and the following morning Tom' spent in a state of utte: despair. Several times he seized papei and pen with n view to writing a'full explanation. Better confess himself a liar than have that other horrible Imputation laid upon hiin. B"ut he forbore. ."She is going to see the girl," ho thought, "and then she will learn the truth for herself." The hours dragged wearily, but at last the monotony was broken by the entrance of his landlady, who handed him a letter. There was no mistaking that firm, almost masculine hand, and he tore it hurriedly open. It contained only one line. "I have learned the truth. Come at once." "Thank God!" cried the"young man, greatly relieved at the thought that he.I had been spared the necessity of making a most embarrassing explanation. "And how I will go up and abase myself. I will throw dust on my head and grovel at her feet. She cannot refuse me forgiveness. After all," he added, with the cheerful optimism of a rather . shallow nature, "I was driven into it, '��������� and she can't be'p^seelng that." When Tom rang the bell at the gars, ot; which he had been previously unaware, and handed tt to Mr. Branksome. That gentleman regarded it dubiously for a few moments, and then lit it. He took a couple of puffs, which filled the carriage with a most unsavory odor, and then, letting down the window, threw the offending weed into the roadway.. "Good heavens, Tom!" he cried, "how much did you pay for that filth?" "Five cents," Tom replied, well knowing, with that awful scent In his nostrils, that prevarication was out of the question. "I am trying," he added, glancing tenderly at Mary, "to cut down my extravagant habits." He was rewarded by a tender pressure ot the hand. Mr. Branksome only grunted and relapsed into a disgusted silence. "You don't know how happy you have made me, Tom," Mary said an they sat alone In the drawing-room, Mr. Branksome having retired to the library to smoke the taste of Tom':: cigar out ot his mouth. "Really, you will get to be quite a thrifty person." "I seem to be getting on that way," was Tom's disingenuous reply. "I should think," continued the girl, "that you could live quite easily on six or seven hundred dollars a year." Tom both looked and expressed his doubts. "Oh, but I'm sure you could," Mary cried eagerly. "Let us make out a list of your expenses. Give me a piece of paper, quick!" Tom mechanically put his hand Into the breast-pocket of his coat, and produced' a paper, which Alary snatched from him. "This will do well enough," she said, nnd immediately set to work to cover It with items, nnd their corresponding amounts. Tom watched her with a growing uneasiness. He did not like the look of that letter���������for a letter It undoubtedly Branksomes' front door it was with the look and sensation of a man who Is "pracing himself for a painful interview with his dentist. He even fancied that the face of the servant who opened the door wore a look of commiseration as he said: "Miss Branksome will see you in the library, sir." "This is going to be a dashed unpleasant half-hour," he said to himself as he .was ushered in. The girl waa standing by the wrltlng- J;aJbXe_when^_he_.entered, arid Tom was chilled by "h^r~TeleliUe;ss~~^expresirionr She motioned him silently to a seat and, dropping into a chair, leaned her elbow on the table, and regarded him for a full minute with a sombre but penetrating gaze. Tom's attitude and countenance evidenced the most abject penitence, as he waited for the storm to break. "I have learned the whole truth," Mary said at last. "I am glad of it," was Tom's eager reply. "You don't know what a burden It has been. Will you���������can you���������forgive me my little deceit?" "Forgive you your little deceit?" The girl regarded the penitent with unbounded astonishment. "Your little de- celt! Are you mad? Do you not understand that I have seen this Miss Mulhern?" "Well," said Tom, "after all, there was not so much harm in lt. Most girls would look on it a3 a sort of joke." "A joke!" Mary cried. "A Joke!'that I should have consented to marry you" ���������she gave a little shiver of aversion��������� "and that you should afterwards ha v.* engaged yourself to another girl���������to this Miss Mulhern!" ';. "What?" Tom almost shouted, In his indignation. "En go gee] to . Come, Mary, you must be crazy. I never saw tha woman In my life." "Oh, Tom���������Tom���������" Mary cried, In deep distress. "Why will you persist in lying to me? Why have you humiliated me?" Tom's Indignation was getting the better of his penitence. "I tell you," he said, "that I know nothing of the woman. What internal', mischief-maker has been telling you that I arn engaged to her?" "She told me so herself." This was such a. staggerer that Tom gaped in bewilderment. "She's a " he was beginning, when Mary raised her hand. "Why deceive mc* more?" the girl said, almost appenllngly. "You remember how troubled you looked when father asked you for a cigarette yester-. day? The reason is apparent, enough now. You had better go now, Mr. Bed- son���������go, and make your peace with Miss Mulhern. But oh! Tom"���������and there was a pathetic little catch In the cold voice���������"I do not think that she Is a nice girl." Then Tom broke out. In an almost incoherent torrent of words he told the story of his temptation and his fall from the paths of truthfulness. He bestowed many hearty maledictions on himself and Mr. Robinson, and incidentally on Miss Mulhern, and wound up with a passionate appeal for forgiveness. Mary watched him throughout his recital with an unwavering gaze, and without the slightest change In her position. "I do not believe a word of It." *���������"��������� The young man was leaning forward, his form rigid, and his eyes bulging with the Intensity of his feelings, but when he heard those words, the tension suddenly relaxed and he sank back in his chair. "You do not believe me?" he cried, as If doubting his own ears. "Not a word. Your story is nn absurd fabrication from beginning to end. Why do you add to your sin by further deception?" Tom was about to enter a violent protest, against her scepticism, when a knock came at the door' and a servant entered. "There's a young man downstairs, miss," ho said, "as says he wants to see you very particular." "I can't see him now," Mary replied. "He said It was very particular Indeed, miss. He says his name's Robinson." Tom sprang to his feet. "Show him up at once, James," he said. "Thank God! it's the man himself!" Both Mary and the servant eyed the sxoited young man with some surprise, and the latter looked to his young mistress for instructions. "I will see him at once," the girl said -shortly. While waiting for Mr. Robinson to make his appearance, Mary stole a. covert glance at Tom, and.noticed that he had now assumed an air of conscious rectitude; the look of one who has been grossly maligned but is about to have his innocence proved before the world. She began to experience an uneasy sense of having possibly been too hard on her lover, and a dim hope that she had been mistaken. When Mr. Robinson made his appearance It was evident that he was ill at ease. He wore a suit of clothes of superfine material and workmanship, but a full size too big for him, and he stood fumbling with his hat. "Speak up, man," said Tom, encouragingly. "I called, miss," began the stranger, "about a matter as is rather important to me. You was to see a Miss Mulhern this morning?" Mary inclined her head. "An" you took away a cigarette-case as you found there?" "It Is here." Mary picked up the Incriminating article, and began absently to trace the outlines of the silver Initials with her fore-finger. "Well, miss; what I want to say Is this: The young woman told you as I had given it to her. I didn't do nothing ot the sort. She hooked it outer my pocket last night, just for a joke like, an' when you seen it this morning she stuck to it that I had given it to her. Js^Mosn^mij^t^B^e.^n^ipn'tyrant to git into no trouble over~It77sO~Tt= thought as I'd better call an' explain before you done anything about It." "How did lt come Into your possession?" Mary enquired. Mr. Robinson hesitated and looked at Tom, who had now assumed a magisterial air. ���������'Make a clean breast of It, Thomas," he said. "The young lady Is anxious to know." Thus urged, Mr. Robinson in a few words described the scene in the cloakroom, dwelling strongly on the suddenness of the demand made upon hlni, and the temptation offered by the sight of the five-dollar bill. "Thank you," Mary said, when the narrative was concluded. "I do not see that you have anything to be ashamed of." She laid an unmistakable emphasis on the pronoun, and Tom looked penitent againl Mr. Robinson turned to go. "I think that is all, miss." , "One moment,". Mary said. "Will you kindly give this, o^ a present from me, to Miss Mulhern. I think sii*-; might like to have It." She laid the cigarette-case, with Which ahe had been playing, In'ths young roan's hand. "And here is something for yourself," Torn cried, laying a ten-dollar bill on the top of the case.' "And for heaven's sake, man, get. yourself some decent cigars!" "Thank you, miss; thank you, air," said Mr. Robinson, greatly mystified by this sudden outburst of generosity. "There Is a letter which Mr. Bedson found In the pocket of your coat, and whlcfti we���������we accidentally read," Mary said. "You will find It in the clgaretto- case." Mr. Robinson was not a person of keen perceptive faculties, but a dim Idea of lhe true stato of affairs dawned on him. However, it was none of hla business. "Thank you, miss," he said ftgafln, and bowed himself out, ,. "Mary?" Tom "-had drawn nearer and was holding out his hands. "Well, Tom?" The ice in the girl's voice was broken, but not altogether thawed. "Can you not forjrive me?" "I am afraid that I have been a little hard on you, Tom." Mary's heart was beating wildly. She had not realized till now how deeply she had become attached lo this light- hearted, improvident lover of hers. "Say .that you forgive me." Ills strong arm slipped about lier waist, his hand gently turned her face towards his, nnd the next moment she was sobbing on Tom's shoulder. "If you hnd only not begun to deceive me," she said, "I know; I know," Tom replied, soothingly. "I nm a beast, nn ass, but you know what somo fellow says: 'Oh! what a tangled something or other.' I didn't mean to do lt, but I couldn't bear to see you look distressed, and, upon my honor, Mary, I meant to wear those miserable rench-me-downs next day. I will never tell you another He as long ns I live." "The truth Is always tho best, Tom, but I forgive you, and see���������hero Is the sen!." and she kissed him bn the lips. There was a pause. "And that ready-made suit?" Tom hazarded anxiously. "I think," replied the girl, laughing happily, "that you mlglit send lt as a present to Mr. Robinson, to wear at his wedding."

Once, "while Daniel Webster waa speaking in the United States Senate on the subject of internal improvements, the Senate clock began to strike, but instead of striking twice at 2 p.m., it continued without cessation more than forty times.

An amusing story is told by a well- known business man of Philadelphia, who recently was introduced to John D. Rockefeller. Mr. Rockefeller's favorite pastime outside of business hours Is pltching.quolts, at which he is said to be very clever, He was speaking of this game when someone asked him lt he ever played golf.

Gouverneur Morris, whose life President Roosevelt wrote and published gome years ago, and whose prefix Is not, as so many Imagine, a title, but a Christian naime, was the senator Who, on being assailed by the Paris Revolutionary mob with cries of "Aristocrat!" probably saved his life by thrusting his wooden leg out of the carriage window, and exclaiming, "An aristocrat?

Mr. James L. Ford, in the course of an article in " Munsey's Maga- tine," sots out to show that in the highest institutions of femalo learning there is one study too few instead of ten too many; and the thing that is needed is a chair of courtship and matrimony. "Te study tho ourriculum of a women's loUege is to become deeply impressed with the fact that no matter how wide ������r deep may bo the rango of learning placed at the disposal of the students, the most essential study of womankind) las been strangely neglected. There is > iot a single women's college in the land Which hns a chair of courtship and matrimony. When I become rich ib is my in-1 tention to establish and endow one at1 tome leading seat of feminine educa- [ Uon. My chair of courtship nnd matrimony is not designed to teach girls how! io attract the male of their species���������, Host of them are born with a fuller com*' prehension of that engrossing art than I jould give them���������but rather to aid them tb the far less understood nnd vastly tnore important matter of selection. I would also suggest a post-grndunto Course of lectures in regard to the best icheme for retaining a husband after he has been chosen. i "I'shall'stipulate in ray deed of endowment that the incumbent of this ihair of courtship and matrimony shall be a woman of nature years, high" native intelligence and great social experience. t should prefer one who had herself been gourtcd and married, and shall endeavor to secure one who has also undergone the experience of divorce. It shall be ter duty to lecture three times a week Bn the perils of modern society, and to Illustrate her discourse, whenever pos- Jible, by placing on the platform specimens of the different types of men that ft. young girl may oxpoctv to encounter when sho leaves college and begins to take up the serious duties of life. "The first thing that I would desire the Incumbent of my chair of courtship and matrimony to impress upon her undergraduate hearers is the fact that to make a really good match in this country it "is j necessary to wed eiUici a pauper or u I multi-millionaire. The man who possesses a small income, and has not sullicicnt energy to work ns if he had nono at all, is to be avoided like the plague, aj he will make a most unsatisfactory husband. "It will he impossible,* of course, for the chair of matrimony to discuss within tlie brief limits of a college course all thc kinds of men that should be avoided, but it can at least sound a warning note in regard to some of those with whom th* young girl graduate is likely to be brought in contact under present social conditions. In the choosing of a multimillionaire she should seek* advice, not from my chair, but from someone who i3 quick at figures, as it is a mere matter of dollars; but in regard >to the others, she should be carefully "instructed during her college course. "There is no variety of the male of our species better deserving of conscientious consideration at the hands of this instructor than that which "the impulsive and inexperienced woman delights to brand as 'interesting.' I positively shudder when I hear a young girl express a preference for a man because he is so 'interesting,' and I know that she is on the .wrong road to happiness when she rejects the attentions of .-anyone on tho ground that, although he.may be honest and truthful and sincere, he.is 'not interesting.' "The Interesting Actor-is a particularly ^dangerous type of fakir, because ho not only carries with him the glamor of his -profession, but also has so many unoccupied evenings on his hands���������thanks to a popular taste that does not always go astray���������that he has better.opportunities , 'than his fellow-players, who are busy on the stage, to make the acquaintance oi impressionable young women, and to con- ���������vince them by his persistent talk about himself and his 'art' that he is as interesting as they would like to.believe him. 'Another type who will serve to illustra te a* discourse is the Interesting Artist who has "never learned how to draw. He pes- . Besses, however, a fine vocabulary of the claptrap of tho profession, and always Keers at anything that is (popular. A vorite- pose of his is that of tho neglected genius who is starving in a garret because his work is too good for ths world to appreciate. The Interesting -Literary Man occurs in endless variety in tie pathway of the young graduate, and requires a special course of lectures tc himself. To begin with, there is the In jteresting Playwright, whe has been writing dramas for several years, and who hopes that an artistic revolution willone day place in control of a metropolitan "theater some manager with a soul above the box-oflirr and a brain capable of appreciating really good work. Tlio Inter- eating Poet is also well worthy of the attention of the incumbent of my choir "~ef "courtship" and'm.i trimonyr" ~IIc~ is~at least true to one anoient poetic tradition In thai he wears long hair, and has always in stock a smile of singularly sweet and sympathetic sadness, which he produces" on special occasions as children produce their company manners. After having listened to'the full course of lectures on the men whom they are to shun, ���������ratli graduating class should have an opportunity to meet some really interesting and accomplished men who can tell them .something about poetry, art and letters." *'Grappling in the Central Biue." (Being "Mr. Punch's" report of thc duel between "M. Santos-Dumont and Comtc de la Vatilx as fixed to take place in the vast inane.) Paris hnd slept uneasily. AU night long the light.! burned mysteriously in the oflices of tho leading papers, and here and there in the darkness could be heard tho rhytlunical "puff! pull!" of gasoline engines. As the first streaks of dawn began to struggle through the mists, the sound of the engines became more noticeable, and presently from the shadows in the North a huge airship slid silently across tho tremulous city. A moment later a dozen were on the wing, waiting for tho principals to appear. As yet the scene of the battle had not been announced, but soon a tense wlusper hissed through tihe chilly air: "The Kin-el Tower." Ah! At last it was known. The first duel of the new regime was to take place above the greatest engineering triumph of the old. By t liis time the air was dark with dirigible balloons nnd dusky airships moving in wide spirals through the silvery dawn. An anchored balloon shot up on either side of the Eiffel Tower, and everyone knew thnt they contained the seconds ' of thc high opposingo parties, who had in this way measured off the distance foi" thc duellists. Santos-Dumont was the first to appear on the scene. There was something falcon-like in the vicious rapidity of his movements, and as he circled about the balloon that contained his seconds nn occasional flirt of the tail-propellers of his airship showed clearly that lie was in tho best of spirits. Your correspondent, who was hovering just above thc scene in an aeroplane borrowed from Mr. If. G. Wells' story "When ���������the Sleeper- Wakes," was constantly sweeping the horizon with liis binoculars, and was the first to descry Comte de la Vaulx as he moved bulkily towards his station at the other balloon. There was need for haste, for the gendarmes were already aware of what was taking place, and were frantically searching for telescopes sufficiently powerful to draw the law-breakers down near enough to be arrested. Just at the moment when the sun touched the horizon with gold, the seconds of Comte de la Vaulx dropped a parachute as a signal, and the duellists swooped at one another with a great rattle of machinery and odor of gasoline; but at that moment a puff of wind struck them unawares, nnd before they had a chance to recover they were, separated by several meters. Santos-Dumont was the first to adjust himself to the new conditions, but he" courteously waited for his enemy to pull in part of his sail acreage and make his airship obey its rudder. As the wind had now become steady from the cast, the duel was drifting rapidly towards the English Channel, leaving the seconds anchored near the Eiffel Tower. Something had to be done quickly, and it was. "Rushing upon his enemy like an eagle upon a swan in mid-air, Santo-i-Dumont punctured his gas reservoir with a quick thrust of his fountain pen, provided for the occasion by a press agent. At tliis, De la Vaulx threw up both wings and sank helplijpsly to the earth.' It had been arranged by the seconds that he who drew first gas was to-be the victor. Was Lady Macbeth a Study of Queen Elizabeth? To tho "Dublin "Review" the Rev, Vincent J. HcNabb contributes a well - thought - out and most interesting argument as to whether or not Shakespeare wrote "Macbeth" prompted by a desire to show a parallel to Queen Elizabeth's treatment of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scotland, to the theater-going audiences of James I.'s reign. After quoting' evidence to prove that Shakespeare was in the habit of holding the mirror up to Nature in his plays, the writer brings forward the friendship of the poet with the Earl, of Southampton, an ardent friend to Mary, who was thrown into prison by Elizabeth and released by James, as an argument to prove- that Shakespeare had cause for a dislike of Queen Elizabeth. And further : "According to Malonc and other competent critics, 'Macbeth' could not have been written earlier than 1(500, three years after the coronation of James, the son of Mary Queen of Scots. Evidently thc play had been recognized as suitable to the circumstances of his nationality and history. Thus we find the king's visit to Oxford in 1C03 marked by a play, or interlude, called) 'Macbeth/ performed in the king's presence." The writer gives six points of resemblance- between -theiplay-and^hislorie'.il events. Of these thc following are the most telling : "It is the only play of which Shake- epeare lays the plot in Scotland. This could hardly fail to please a Scottish \ing ; and we have seen that this fitness With circumstances had already been recognized by the University authorities at Oxford." The play is based on the murder of a kinsman, sovereign, and guest. Mary Stuart was kinswoman, queen (in tlie eyes of her adherents), and guest of Elizabeth. The outcome of the 'vaulting ambition' which overleaps itself is that the sovereignty passes from Macbeth to the son of the murdered sovereign; just as the crown of England passed on Elizabeth's death to James, the son of Mary. And we may remark thas Shakespeare has made many additions to the source of the play, Ilolinslicd's Chronicle. The whole character of Lady Macbeth is the poet's own creation." As the writer very truly remarks, ,r.r*in n fn O+I'/ITI 1������ ft f Ml 1 111 A M f a ltl -Tl IT fl ���������*���������*��������� f\i ! Ctroager Than Death. There is in Gloucester, Massachusetts ��������� perha;* it should be said there ivas not long ago ��������� a captain of a Sshiug-smack who was the hero of as oravo a story as was ever told; and ���������.here is in Philadelphia the office of a it-eirmsliip company \vhere the other side of the story is well known. An ocean liner crossing the Banks in icas that swept the decks sighted a fishing-vessel with the flag flying union iown���������everywhere the recognized signal *>f distress. The captain looked at the rcssel through his telescope, and' saw no ligns of life. It was freezing cold, and the waves rolled m gray mountains which threatened to crack a boat into iplinters before she was fairly lowered. The captain thought a while, and looked out ou the sea and figured his chances ������f getting to the distressed fisherman. He called his crew, rang the engineer's Oell, aud made ready to lower a boat. Tho crew listened to what he said about the danger, but declared themselves ready to try it. Then the captain looked again through fiiis telescope. He rubbed his eyes in astonishment. The ling on the fisherman, which, a little before, had been flying union down, was now flying from the masthead, union up. Here was a strange thing. There were otill no signs of life on board the distant vessel. The captain thought hard, and spoke again to the crew. They were still for going. So they put off in a boat, the first officer and the second mate and men at the oars. The liner meanwhile had gone off her course nearer the smack. When the boat drew near the strange fishing-schooner, the chances of boarding her seemed slight. The sea pitched the ship's boat high on a shaking peak of water, then slammed her heavily into a chasm between two tottering walls. In justice to his men the officer in charge of the boat proposed that thev put back. On the deep hulk that lurched a hundred yards from them-was nothing to indicate that a living man was there to be saved or left to his fate. But the crew and the mate urged that they should try to make fast and swing on board. If that flag had been changed, a livo man's hand had changed it. So they pulled nearer, and, keeping free of the dark hull that tossed and rolled and threatened to smash theni, they flung a rope over the rail, and one by one clambered on board. They found the captain and the crew lashed to the masts, frozen unconscious, took them off, and got them safe back to the steamer. Some of the men were dead, but the captain and several ofi the crew came to life. Whon the captain of the fisherman was able to speak, they asked hiin about the flag which had been first upside down, then righted. This was his simple explanation: He had reversed the flag to summon help. Then when he felt himself going and saw how mad was the sea, he thought that if any came to save hfca, they would run too great a risk, bo with his last ounce of strength he had righted the flag again to prevent good seamen from losiug their lives in a vain effort to save his.

GTTT SCC -������_l sh Jl ��������� SCORE or more of men and .���������ouths, rough-clad and unshaven, booted and spurred most of them in cowboy fash- Ion, were assembled on the platform of a Western railway station.

"Look here, Cal Pooly, yeh ought to be ashamed, beln' so narrow-minded and selfish," expostulated a tall, lank man with a thin, pale whisker. "If yeh wuz the right kind of a public- spirited citizen ye'd be glad to do what yeh can to civilize and populate the to marry I needn't have come so far. There are plenty of men in Giles County, and better-looking and better-mannered men than any I've seen here. How many children have you?" she asked, changing1 the subject abruptly. "Four, ma'am, all boys���������oldest thirteen and youngest five," Mr. Pooly explained. "They're gittin' purty wild, too���������jest like young colts that been runnln' on the range, with nobody much to look after 'em. "Wife died three year ago, an' I ben kind o' bring- In' 'em up by hand since, jest like try- in' to raise a calf on a bottle.

As the wagon drove up before tho one of them was Pedro Nunez, an ugiy cutthroat greaser, easily capable of making trouble.

Winchelsea in company with a friend. When the twain arrived at their destination - they sought a hotel for refreshment.' What took place there is described by the novelist ns follows : "In the coffee room they had a visitors' book, which was full of poetical efforts and sketches. "Some of the pictures were very clever; some of the poetry was very bad. However, the poetry was unanimous in one respect���������the writers had all been very much pleased with the hotel and its fare. It appeared 'suspicious to me that in almost every leaf a jiart of the page had been cut out. I imagine that when anybody wrote anything that didn't suit the views of the proprietor, that gentleman used the closure in the shape of a pair of scissors. My own sentiments, which are probably cut out by this time, were given in a few lines, which, I may ���������daim without being conceited, were the ���������ivorst in the book, always cxeepting those written by my friend. Here they are i " 'It seems to me that those who write The truth about the place and prices, Have what they say cut out of sight, So flatter���������that's whit my advice is. '"We had a plain and simple tea, Very nice, but not extensive ; The price they charged us seemed to be, All things considered, darned expensive.' "I signed this with the plain and noncommittal letter B., after which my friend.-wrote.: . " 'With, Mr. B.

"Yes, and I'll bet a horse, Ted Sanders, you'll be over 'fore breakfast tomorrow spyln*. round to see what thls'n looks like," said the big man, with a sparkle In his small eyes. "But doggone my times! Teh better stay away. I swear I'll git an Injunction on you fellers, and not let yeh come on the place." The whistle of the approaching engine Interrupted this colloquy, and the men scattered in a line along the platform watching with curious faces.' Mr. Pooly stood a little in the rear, inwardly chuckling at a seasonable joke which he felt was about to be perpetrateJ on the boys. As the train came to a stand, puffing and hissing, a single person descended and stood confronting the staring spectators. Looks of anger, disgust, pain and resentment passed from rain to man, looks that said plainly and despairingly, "Is that her? Do you think thet's her? Good Gawd!" The person who was being thus unfavorably received stood for some time looking from one observer to another; then her face reddened angrily. "Well, what are you staring at?" She fired the question point-blank into their faces and put them quickly to rout. "Don't you like my looks? Well, it's not costing you anything to see me, and If you're not pleased you can move Woiseley and Melba. ii/- X"t*i**'V''*W*"**,N������ Courting invcsligation.���������"i-iife." The Programme.

The victor in the little dimicr-table tilt was Mme. Melba, and thc scene of the occurrence the house of a,' member of the aristocracy. Mme. Melba at this dinner was seated at the right of Lord Woiseley, who was at the rigiit of the hostess of the evening. Lord Woiseley at the beginning of tbe dinner asked of the hostess, "Who is the lady at my right?" '���������Whv, that is Mme. Melba." "Who is Mme.

"Hecord.** To had learned his lc-.non. They moved away from her In alarm and huddled helplessly on one corner of the platform, swearing deep oath's of vengeance against Pooly, and keeping their eyes fixed in a sort of fascination on the.stranger. "Where's that man Fooly, or Pooly, or" whatever his name is?" asked the apparition, approaching the group of men. Pooly was at that moment behind the depot jumping up and down and hugging himself in an ecstasy of joy. But at mention of his name he came forward soberly enough to greet the new- comer.- "Good-mornln', ma'am," he said, with hearty politeness. "I'm Pooly, and I reckon you're Miss���������Miss " ~ "Miss Virginia Quigley, from Tennessee, Giles County/Pulaski Postoffice." "Glad to see yeh, Miss Qulgley. Fine day."- "* 1 "I hadn't noticed anything remarkable" about the day," she answered curtly. "Here's my check. Tou better get my trunk and let us be going. "Where do you live?'.* "Tes'm, ten mile out, ma'am, south," responded Pooly. "Wagln's round behind there. Jest climb in, and I'll have the trunk out in a hurry." In the privacy of the baggage-room Mr. Pooly Indulged himself with another brief period of Jubilation, side shaking and thigh slapping. Then, pulling the trunk out, he heaved It Into the wagon. ��������� "Here we are, ma'am. Everything ready? All right, off we go." And cracking, the whip, lie set.the team of mules going at a gallop. As they drove past the saloon many faces peered at them, muttering soundless imprecations, and many fists were raised in Indignation. Pooly succeeded In giving the men In return a * sly, triumphant wink on the side of hia -face that was away from his formidable companion. "Who were those Ill-mannered fellows?" she asked. "Who? Them at the depot? Oh, I don't know; some| of the boys, I "reckon. They're always there, 'specially if they think a woman's comin'." "They didn't seem to be highly pleased," she said, smiling grimly. "Why, mebbo not," answered P.ooly, with bluff frankness. "No, I guess yeh did strike 'em purty hard." He laughed loudly at the recollection. "Lord! Lord! but-"I- reckon-yeh- did-hlt--'em���������hard- enough!" She turned to 'him a face fiery with anger, "I wasn't aware, sir, that there was anything so extraordinary about my looks," she said. "No'ni, oh, no'm!" Mr. Pooly hastened to explain. "Nothln" so very extraordinary, only, yeh see, they wuz lookin' fer somp'n different. I told 'em I had another governess comin' to-day. Tou're the fourth one inside of a year. The others didn't turn out well." "Couldn't give satisfaction?" "That wuz jest the trouble���������they give too much satisfaction. Teh see, they's about a hundred men In .the county, and only half of 'em married, and no women loose, so whenever one comes the boys Jest flock after her. An' these others that I brought out from East wuz young and peart and good-looking, an' the boys wouldn't give 'em no peace. They married, every one of 'em, 'fore they'd been here a month." "Huh!" ejaculated Miss Qulgley in extreme disgust. "Tes'm, that's what I said," continued Pooly. "I got mighty tired of lt, an' when the third one married, I wrote East an' told 'em to .send on another, but doggone it all, not to be sending one that 'ud up an' marry on me inside of a month, but to find one that wuz so blamed ugly no self-re- spectln' white man could stand to look at her." "And they sent me!" said Miss Qulgley, with spiteful emphasis on the pronoun. "Effgznctlj"! They sent you," said Pooly, looking at her wilh the admiration that a man. must always bestow on a perfect typo. "An' I guess you'll do. I don't hardly think you'll be tr.k- in' up with any of the boys right away." "Huh! I guess not!" responded Minn Quigley In contempt. "If I had wanted sprang down without waiting to be ni<- rl.ted. The four yiiuiu*- Poolys dushe ! out with wild whoops to greet her, but 'stopped short, shocked Into speechless silence and stood with mouths agape as they saw what manner of woman she was. The youngest, out of sheer childish sympathy, set up a frantic wailing and ran back Into the house. Mr. Pooly laughed immoderately at the effect produced by the prospective governess, and called loudly to the weeping youngster: "Here; Ben, what's the matter with yeh? Teh ain't goin' to be a baby, air yeh? Come along and see the lady: she won't bite yeh." The aggrieved Bennle came sullenly, rubbing his fists deep into his eyes. The woman stooped down and in a voire altogether different from the one she had hurled at the impertinent gazers at the station, soothed the child till his resentment was so far modified that he allowed her to lead him Into the house. The other boys followed at a safe distance, whispering to each other: "I say, Jim, did yeh see her nose? Did yeh see her nose!" "An' her spectacles. Bob? I bet yeh don't pull her hair and play tricks on her like yeh did the other one." It became evident before many houi ������������������ that the new governess, whateve- might be her superficial defects, had an effective way about her. She had had no previous experience of the domestic economy of a ranch house; but with a few quick, comprehensive glances she took in the whole situation. Her position was school mistress to the four boys, but, she took a large view of her function's. Mrs. Reed, the widowed sister of Mr." Pooly, who was the nominal head of the household, was a thin, colorless creature, who let the boys and the Mexican servants do about as they pleased. She was quite willing to havo some stronger will assume the responsibility of management.' So the new governess, with the approval of everybody whose approval was necessary, set to work to Institute a domestic revolution In the household of Pooly. Before night she came to' the inevitable issue with the juvenile Poolys. She took Jim first, he being the largest. The conflict for a few minutes was fierce and noisy; but when lt^was finished the wild colt was broken; she had only to look at him after that tot have quick and cheerful obedience. The senior Pooly from a safe distance watched the conflict, with various dramatic gesticulations and Inward guffaws'expressive of satisfaction. The following day several of the men who had witnessed the arrival of Miss Qulgley rode out to the ranch. Pooly* went out to the gate to meet them with boisterous good will. "Hello, boys!" Git down an' come In," he said, then added In a stage whisper, with expressive grimaces: "She's in there, right in there! Walk right In an' see her. She noticed yeh yesterday, an' has been wishln' she might see yeh again." "Say, Cal, we want a-know what yeh got agin us," said Ted Sanders in a tired, aggrieved voice. "We ain't never done nothin' to yeh, have we? We ain't killed yer sheep, or run off yer cattle, an' what in thunder yeh want aT-treat us like this fer. Why, man"��������� lie leaned from his horse and spoke In regretful tones���������"the creek down there's already dryln' up; the' won't be a foot o' water In the county Inside of a week, and the grass is all dyln'. What yeh want to do us like this fer? We wouldn't mind her bein' old nnd ugly and havln' a voice like a sawmill, but that nose! that nose!" Pooly leaned on thc gate In a convulsion of laughter. "Oh, yes, her nose! her nose! Git down, boys, an' walk-rlght-In,"-heurged.���������"She's-wait- in' fer yeh. I say It's dog mean of yeh to como an' take every one I get, but I reckon I'll have to stand It fer tho good o' tho community. Which one'll go first? Tou, Ted, you're tho smoothest-tonguod." The melancholy Mr. Sunders looked at Pooly without a smile. "Don't, pardner, don't," he said, "you hurt our fceUu's. Don't make us yer enemies fer life. Box her up an' ship her away to-night; we'll pay the expenses." At this moment the subject of their lamentations appeared at the door and stood frowning nt the six cavaliers. They looked at each other in alarm, then, taking up their bridle retois, rode away. Pooly followed them, calling loudly: "Say, boys, don't rush off like this in the heat of the day. Stay an' take dinner. Can't? Well, come over often, be glad to see yeh any lime." The men called back to him with sundry threatening motions, "Sack lt '��������� up, Cal," "Stave it off." "Try cold buttermilk," and "Cornbrcad an' molasses makes a good poultice." Before the rule of Miss Virginia Qulgley was a month old order and thrift had been Introduced into the Pooly household. Every room and tha verandas and yards were tidy. The meals were served on time by servants who moved deftly and with thc precision of clockwork. The children went to their lessons without murmuring, j intended to and no longer, whon they were free, j saj(i nothln' tho sheep. "An' they say 'at they're comin' up here an' set the barns on Are an' scare us and run off, 'cause I heard 'em," explained the boy, In great excitement. Miss Quigley, with the masterly decision of a general, took things immediately In hand. She put the children wilh Mrs. Reed and the two Mexican women Into one room and told them to stay there. Then she took her stand at the door to await developments. Pretty soon the four Mexicans rode up, yelling furiously. They dismounted and came toward the house, evidently bent on mischief. Pedro had a Winchester and began shooting at the chickens. Fortunately, he was half drunk, so .that most of his shots went wild; but his conduct set Miss Qulgley I & housekeeper, an' one 'at will be permanent, an' the' won't be no danger o* some other feller comin* along an' takln' her away jest when she Is gittin' useful. Understand? Hey? How does it strike yeh?" "But I'm -so ugly, you know, that no* self-respecting while man can stand to look nt me!" declared the lady, her eyes flashing again. "I know���������I know *bout that," responded Pooly, turning red to the edges of his shaggy beard. "An* I ain't say- In' yeh would take any prizes In a beauty contest. But looks ain't everything by a long sight. An' I ain't such a handsome looker myself. So come now, no hard feelln's; what d'ye say? wild with anger. She strode out boldly ] 1 got to go to town this mornln*, an' If yeh say so, 1*11 jest put on my coat, an' while we're down there we'll git hitched. What d'ye say?" Miss Quigley said nothing, but her silence must have been quite satisfactory, for Mr. Pooly blustered noisily out of the loom, stopping at the door and confronted the drunken greasers. "Here, you hombres, what do you mean? What do you mean, I say!" she stormed. "I'll teach you to come round here ������ scaring women and children. Gl'me that gun." The Mexicans huddled together like frightened sheep, not knowing what to ! to call hack to her: do. Pedro had raised the gun, pointing j "All right, rush along now an* primp it at the Irate woman. ! yehself up a little, an' I'll have the "Put down that gun!" she cried, in j buggy at the front catc rn half nn feminine fury. "Put it down, I say, hour. An' say, bring my coat along quick!" j out, will yeh?���������so we won't lose no And as he lowered lt she ran up and, j time."���������"Ainslee's." seizing the end of it, jerked it from his unresisting hands. Then, menacing them with the gun, she scolded and rebuked and threatened until they were thoroughly cowed. They understood little of what she said, but the vigor of her speech gave it all the rower of the most virile masculine profanity. They tried to slip away to their horses ana escape, but she stood before them with the gun at ready, and her finger on the trigger. "No, you don't get away," she said. "Do you see that bench yonder?" She pointed to the front veranda where was a long wooden bench. "Go in there and sit down, every one of you Sabe? I say go and sit down on that bench!'* She put the end of the gun against Pedro and gave him a push toward the house. Meekly as lambs they went In and sat down as she commanded. "Jlmmle," she called then to the boy inside, "saddle your horse and-go for your pa. Hurry, now, and tell him to bring the sheriff. Jail is the place for such outlaws as these." And while the boy went as,directed she sat down tc guard her prisoners.. Mr. Pooly told afterward with a great relish the story of Miss Quigley's victory. "Teh see, when we got there," he said, "there wuz them four greasers slttln' humble as yeh please on the front porch, and -her settin' in a cheer In front of 'em with the gun In her hands guardln' .'em. Her nose wuz red and her eyes still poppln'. An* dog my cats If everyone o' them Mexicans wasn't lollln' back with their mouths, open like they wuz tired to death, fer she'd -been lashln' 'em with that long tongue o' hers fer three mortal hours, so they wuz damned glad to see the sheriff come, an' went along same as If they wuz goin' to feed." This adventure served to confirm Mr. Pooly In a determination that had been slowly forcing ituelf on him for some time. The following day, when Miss Quigley had finished with the four small Poolys and sent them scampering away to play, the lord of the manor, coatless, and booted and spurred, lumbered Into the room set apart for school purposes. "Good-mornln'," he said in a robust voice, for once thinking to take oil his hat. "How's the schoolma'am after the fracas? Feelln' peart and healthy, Is she?" ���������Miss Quigley's unprepossessing features relaxed to a half smile. Indicative of serenity and confidence. Mr. Pooly continued, fingering his hat nervously: "I want to speak to you on a matter. I've about decided that I won't need a governess any longer." He planted himself aggressively in front of her with legs a-sprawl and looked at her with twinkling eyes.

The murderers of Alex- my work Is not satisfactory or my Political Assassinations in Times Past. OLITICAL assassinations were as frequent in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries as in the nineteenth, only the rank of the assassins was different. Philip II. ordered the assassination of the Prince of Orange and of Queen Elizabeth, and advised the Queen- mother of France to have Coligny and tho Queen of Navarre "removed." Elizabeth escaped through her great popularity and the vigilance of "Wal- singha.m. Henri HI. ordered the assassination of the Duke of Guise. Tha Lords of the League ordered in turn that of Henri, and 'one may surmise that the governments of Spain and Austria were agreed as to the expediency of murdering Henri IV. Th* frivolousness of the Diike of Buckingham did not save him from the dagger" of a political assassin. The sex of Mary Stuart did not prevent herbeln*f the accomplice of Bothwell in the murder of Darnley. Ruthven and other noblemen murdered Mary's favorite, Rizzlo, in her presence. Cromwell lived In constant fear of being stabbed or shot. Recently published documents prove that the poisoner was a favorite diplomatic and political instrument of the Venetian Council of Ten. "To go back to the time when the bloom of Italian art was finest, the Borgia wero always assassinating or employing assassins. Going back still further, assassination was a common political expedient in Rome, both as a rrpublii and as an empire. The violent passions that used to move rulers In times past and the dl- reotness of their methods have descended, like their cast-off clothes, to a much lower social stratum. Orders to take away the lives of monarchs no longer proceed from the Escurlal, or the Tullerles, or the Council Chamber ' of Venice, but from dens where Anarchists meet. The monarchs, on tho whole, have been less badly used in our time than the Presidents of North and South American republics. Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley represent the United States in the black list. , Between 1872 and 1877 four South American Presidents were murdered. ��������� M. Carnot, who fell under Caserlo's knife. Is the only President of the French Republic who has been assassinated.

Now when I got you, I thought met.be " "Thought I was so ugly none of the men would look nt me, did you?" cried Miss Qulgley, standing up and confronting him angrily.

"Somp'n like that, ma'am," he replied. "An' I can't say 'at the boys have been quite so anxious as before. No, somehow they haven't been round much lately. But 'tain't goin' to be so any longer. Since what yeh done yesterday with them greasers the' ain't gdln' to be no keepin* the boys away. Looks don't count' much with them when a woman's got grit like that." "So you think 1 had better go before the harm's done," said Miss Qulgley, recovering her composure. "Very well, I can be ready in half an hour." . "Hold on now, don't git huffy," admonished Mr. Pooly, in tones that were I Grandchildren at Edward VII.'s Coro**' j nation. Tt has not been a common thing In English history for the sovereign at the time of coronation to have royifl children gracing the ceremony; and as for grandchildren being present, no j king or queen of England had any at the outset of a reign. Royal juveniles have been conspicuously absent from these grand ceremonies, and It will be a unique feature of King Edward's coronation that some of his grandcliil- . dren will be old enough to witness and j understand the scene. It was a matter ! of regret that the dislikei felt by Kins i William IV. for the Duchess ot Kent made a playhouse of every room. The tired Mrs. Reed rejoiced with many satisfied sighs, and Mr. Pooly thought what he thought, ami said nothing. Then occurred nn affair which might well have changed the even course of events.

I Are at it Hammer and Tongs Regarding the Price of Lumber���������Is the Notice Requiring* Survey of Limits Legal? Over the si-mature of lion. W. C. Wells, the following notice appears in the current Gazette:* "Notice is hereby given, pursuant In the provisions of Section .IO of the 1.anil Ail, I bat iu litliiie no special licences lo cut timber on Crown lnnds will be granted or renewed until after the applicants have bad lhe limit*, surveyeii hy a duly i|tialilied Provincial Laud Surveyor to ibe satisfaction of the 1/iiids and Works Department." Refwicine to lhe section mentioned cli.ils the fact lliut regulation.*, regarding timbei" licences are to be made by Ibe Lieiiti'ii.-uit Governor in Council. There is nothing in the notice loshiiw that such u regulation was approved as rei'tiired by tbe Act, and it appears therefore the notice in tpicslnin is ipiite beyond the powers ol. the Chief Commissioner. If, however, there has been an Order passed, the notice of same should have been given by the Clerk of;l he Council... Il would be interesting to discover whether this notice is merely a bail break by reason of its publication by a wrong authority, tir if il, is a nullity, no Order in Council approving it having been passed. It is up to Mr. Wells io explain. Opinion as lo thu regulation itself is somewhat, divided, coast papers saying it is "viewed with consternation*" hy lumbermen there. .The IIehaLii bad a talk with Theodore Ludgate on tlie subject ami that gentleman staled he considered thu move a necessary one. fn his opinion when a company invested large -stuns in mills, depended for their operation on such licence*,', it was very advisable to have the limits surveyed. In fact, it was bis inleiition, regulation or nol, to have all limits secured bv liim plolteii out by a sui- veyor. He also pointed out tliat a batik would not make advances onilie security of uncut limber unless the boundaries of the claims were ni-cur- alely defined. Mr. 0. F. Liniimark was also seen on the iiiiittdi" and expressed himself in somewhat similar terms. Tbo exchange of opinions between buyers and sellers as to the present price of lumber goes merrily on, Mr. McNicoll, general manager of the C. I?. R., the other day retracted liis previous statement that as soon as rates were reduced lhe pi ice of lumber was raised. He admitted, according to u despatch. Unit be wis "mistaken and uilsiiil'orined." Tbe fact remains, however, that tbe price of-' lumber lia-** risen wit h great rapidity. The inilluieu i-tale thai* tliey are paying much more for.'their help than formerly and that the wages of ni.e'if iu the logging camps have risen equally with thc-pi iie uf lumber. It is known'.'..that,'in some rase.-* al least. such is "the case, but. lhe gist of ihe mallei' is. are the iiiilliuen and lumber dealers reaping an extorlicinate profit '? Humors.-, of royal'.' commissions'.'"ami judicial"'' enquiries are heard Irom all parts'of Manitoba and the Ninth West unci it is very probable 'steps on this line may 'shortly betaken, linn.Thus. Greenway, leader of the Manitoba opposition said in tin interview on .Saturday last that the Western Retail Lumbermen's Association was a combine,'aud therefore illegal. To ttse his own'words',' "They make no bonus of the facs that they are a combination in restraint of trade and therefore oprr- aling in defiance of the l.iw." lie also recommended that the Dominion Government be urged to put dr**������sed lutnliei-on the free list. ''I feel very strongly nn this matter," said Mr. Green way tn conclusion, "and when 1 am east I shall make it my business to make stiong representations to the Dominion government asking them in exercise lo the fall every power that they have in order that the people of the west may be relieved '.from this odious and expensive imposition. Tbe existing conditions are intolerable, and must not continue.*' It must net be lot-gotten, however, that for many years practically all the mills of the Province were operated under very adverseciicuinsiance;, and in many instances at a loss.

Operating Western Star and Copper Dollar in the Fish River Camp���������Mr. Darragh on the Properties Mr. J. A. Dnrragb, manager of the Western Star group. Fish Creek,came to town yes!onlay and leaves in a few days for lhe east. His family arrived today from Camborne and will reside in Kevelstoke in 1'ul nre. The HiiK.vr.n bad an interesting talk with him regaiding the prospects of Fish Creek camp, which fully confirmed other advices regarding tbe richness of this coining disttict. Tbe Western Star group is situated on the southerly side of Pool Creek, about 7 miles from Camborne, and is at pies- ent operated by the Ellivood Tinwork- ersGold Mining Company. Work was commenced late last summer and the development so far consists of 8 tunnels all drifted in upon the lead. At a, distance of lot) feet in the lower tunnel . in a cross cut; 7 feet; to the right a body of oro was encountered which measured about six feet in width, lt is of very high grade, carrying sulphides of gold, together with lead and silver values. Samples of the new strike of ore have been sent' east for assay, the result of , which is uwaited with much interest. Tina strike, which is the largest made so far in the camp, consists of a bi.dy ol" solid galena and has every evidence of being a permanent, veiii. Unfortunately, four daj's iifter the lend wns .���������struck the cabins were destroyed by fire and the contractors,'.Messrs. Ford, .Thompson and ''others lost all ' tli-aii- supplies. This necessitated closing down work for the present until fret.li supplies can betaken in, which will nol be until early in May, owing to the unusual depth of snow. After that active operations on a large scale will be carried on and new cabins and other buildings concerned. Mr. 'Darragh is also operating the Copper Dollar for tbe same company. Tnis property adjoins I he Eva and a force of men are working. The Copper Dollar has the Eva vein running "rhfoT-gh-i t"fbu t=l he-workJs"being=done on another vein. It is n free gold proposition and as soon as work is sufficiently advanced a stamps will be erected. He i.s highly pleased wilh results so far and hopes to have the pleasure of adding another free gold proposition to lhe camp.
