Tlio Simses which have precipitated this crisis are easily explained. Egypt has borrowed immense sums of nion- oy from British and French lenders. But for many years Egyptian Buan- -ces were so hopefeWy mismanaged that the bond-holders received no interest tfii 'tlieir loans. Indeed it . uecame evident from many circumstances that Egypt intended to pay lieither principal nor interest so long as she 'could possibly avoid it. After years of fruitless diplomatic correspondence 'tlio British and French bond-holders succeeded in : 'enlisting the sympathies of their vespective Governments to such an Vixtent that a determined action was taken. The finiuiciitl itffaira of Egypt WWe phreed under control uf British and French officials, who collected the revenue and administered the expenditure. By this menus Egypt was saved from hopeless bankruptcy, and the bond-holders .were enabled to receive dividends \)n their interest account. The present Khedive seems to hnve uOrjui tesced in this arrangement, partly-, perhaps, because it relieved him from the bother of managing his town cash, and partly because he favored a plan which seemed to promise the extinguishment of Egypt's debt without dishonor. Hut Arabi Bey, who is head of tiro military power, had other plans, He is ambitious, talented, unscrupulous, and Very popular with tlie army. Arabi had an idea thnt Egypt wan quite able to manage hor own aflaii-s without the assistance of Europe. He evidently believed thnt the rdldrtest nnd easiest way to pay Egypt's enormous debt was to repudiate it. With that Object in view he has been actively encouraging the apiritof hostility to foreigners which Ike found in various quarters and quietly preparing military forces for any emergency. The situation wns simply this: the Khedive wished things to go tin ito they were; Arabi lley wished to repudiate tlio national debt, seise the reins of government himself, and establish n united Arabia ; tlie Sultan of Turkey wants people to leave Egypt alone, and he will run it liitnstilf; Among .those conflicting policies Arabi's seems to llave prevailed. He had the army Witli liiril and believed lllmself able td bltiff off- the British. But lie lias fotllid out his mistake. Oh the 11th inst Admiral Seymour demolished Alexandria, and Arabi's forts and gllua are battered to ruins. This prompt and decisive action on the VOLUME 22 KEW WESTMINSTER, B.

' *Sho iB a grunt deal prettier than that," replied Bernard amiably, nud Randulf, thanking him, retuniod the cane to him. Now Kmidnlf had a topic vory near hia heart too — a topic which lio thought ho might be able to clisniss with Aglionby. The two young mon had certainly drawn wonderfully noar to each other during .this abort'oVorf- ing of . converfwidon. - The fact was, that each admired IfcMrther's qualities. Aglionby's caustic abruptness; his cool and steady doporttfient> and his imperturbable dignity and eelf-p'osaession under his changed fortunes, pleased Randulf exceedingly. He liked a man who could faco the extremes of fortune with unshaken nerve; who could carry himsolf proudly and independently through evil circumstances, and could accept a brilliant change with calm nonchalance. Randulf's sangfroid, bis unconventional manner* his independence of his luxnrioua surroundings— bis innate hardness and simplicity of character pleased Aglionby. But Bernard's feelings toward Randulf wore, it must bo remembered, uncomplicated; Randulf's sentiments toward Bernard wero vaguer—he felt every disposition to liko hi n't thoroughly, and to make a friend of him; but lie had a doubt or two; thoro were sinne points to bo decided which ho whs not yet clear about. Ho said, after a pause: "I was very cool to ask you to show mo. Miss Vane's likeness. J owe you something in return. Look at thoso I" He rose, aud opening thu portfolio bufuru spoken of,drewout two sketches, and bringing the lamp near, turned it up, and showed the pictures to Bernard. "What dq you think uf those !" he asked. Aglionby looked at them. "Why, this is Danesdalo Castle, unmistakably, and woll done too, I should say, thuut***!. I am no judge. It looks ao spirited.'' "Now look at tho other," It wj.s Randulf and his dogs. Aglionby, keenly sensible of tho ridiculous, burst out laughing. "That's splendid, but you must bo very amiably disposed towards the artist to take such a 'taltb-oll1 Good-naturedly." "Isn't it malicious? Dono by someone, don't you think, who must lmvo seen all my weak pointB at a glance, aud who knew how to make the most of thorn ?" "Exactly," mid Bernard, much amused-, and still more so to observe the pleased complacency with which Randulf spoke of a drawing \Vhich, without being a caricature, made him look so absurd. "Is he a friend of yours—lhe artist ?" ho asked. "Jt was left to my discretion, whether I told tho niuiie of the artist or not. Vou must promise that it goes no further." "Certainly." "They were drawn by Miss Delphino Conisbrough." • Bernard started violently; his face Hushed all over—hu laid tliu drawing down, looking earnestly at Randulf. "By Judith Conisbrough's sister ?" he asked. "The same," said Randulf, ptiSing away imperturbably, and thinking} "it is just as I thought. That little piece of wax-work whose lilruuess 1 have eeou, cannot blind him so that he doesn't know a imblo woman when he meets her." Aud he waited till Bur- nurd said: "You nmuKe mo. Thoro is surely vory high thlont in them; you ought- to Me ii butter judge than me. Don t j'ou think thein very cleverr "I think thein moro than clover. They have the very highest promise in them; The only thing is, her talent wants cultivating." "Hheahduld have somo lessons," said Bernard eagerly. "So I voutuvod to tell her, but sho said—" ho paused, and (hen went pit, in a voice whose tonderness and regret he could not control, "that they wore too poor." He looked ut Bornard. "If he has any feeling on tho subject," ho thought, "that ought to fetch him." It "fetched" Boniard iu a mannor part of Britain uiiiyrest.lt in nilencin Arabi Bey or It- may not Ho has | which Randulf had hardly calc'ul'at'eti the vanity td declare himsolf a second nVm\..He. started up from his char Knpoleoti; nnd ho may possibly per aiat in the foolish attempt to defy flinicessfully tile British nation. If hostilities are continued, the war may be ot tdng duration; for the Egyptians havd tllodes of warfare With which it might be difficult for Europeans to cope on Egyptian soil. ' But the struggle can only end in tho conquet of Egypt and the triumph of British arms. The naval buttle fought before Alexandria on the 11 th itiat. wris" one of the most remarkable tin record, and showed the terrible destruction of whieh modern armaments are capable. On another page will lie found telegraphic despatches containing the cliief incidents of the bombardment. ,-N, A recent paper by Major Hallott gives instances o'f the rumarkublc results which have followed cubrts to improve food-plants by a regularly- contmuod practido of selecting the seeds of the best plants for planting.

Ho had been longing to speak to some one of his griefs connected with his cousins; this was too good an opportunity Hi bo lost. "Too poor!" he exclaimed, striding about tho rouui; "Shu told you that! Good God! will they never havo pun-, ishud me enough 7" The veins hi his forehead started out. His perturbation was deep aud intense. Randulf laid his oigav down, and askod softly: "Punished you—liQwdrtyou mean?" "I moan with their rosentmont— their implacable enmity and contempt, To tell you that sho was too poor— when-—" "It must have been true:" "Ot courso it is tftie; but It is their own fault." "I don't undorfltand." "But I will explain. It it- n mystery I cannot unravel. Perhaps you can help me." He told Randulf of bis dosirC to be just, and how Judith had at first promised not lo opposo his Wishes. Then ho went oh: "What had caused her to change hor mind beforo I spoke to her again, I cannot imagine.

Laying aside the moral and physical aspects, it will be readily conceded that national wealth and greatness should bo the aim of all governments. These conditions imply contentment and prosperity. It becomes one of the first duties of nil public men to enquire by what means u nation's wealth and greatness may be best promoted nnd accomplished. Somo countries are so situated and so constituted that their natural resources are few and limited. They have no fertile hinds, no forests of vahiablo timber, no minerals, no sources of food supply. For them national greatness can only be reached through artificial channels— either by trade or manufactures, or both, Of all the ttntural resources wliich go .to make up a nation's wealth snd greatness thero is none moro important than that of agriculture. We may havo mineral lands of groat richness, hut the mines must in time become exhausted; wo may have valuable timber, but it disappears before tbe five and the axeman j wo may have fish and furs, but they, too, may become extinct or disappear from our coasts; wo may havo a largo artificial trade, but the digging of a new canal or the building of a new railway may suddenly turn trade away from us into other channels. But if a nation's wealth mul greatness aro built upon its agricultural resources, they aro built upon a foundation both safe and,permanent. There may be seasons of cold or wet, of scorching heat or deadly drought; but nature's vital forces are wonderfully elastic, and the equilibrium cannot long remain disturbed. There is nothing in this world of changes more certain than tho fact that if ■we sow we shall nlso reap. Iu this country the conditions are unusually favorable for the agriculturist. Wc have a soil whose capabilities are Acknowledged to be extraordinary ; we have markets where the prices of agricultural products rule higher, perhaps, than in any other civilized land ; we have a climate peculiarly favorable for agricultural pursuits, the. mild winters and long summers extending agricultural operations far beyond the ordinary limits. But in spite of all these substantial advantages British Coumbia is not much of an agricultural country. Peojdc do not come hero to work—they come to dig gold, or catcli fish, or speculate in sites of prospective railway termini. Herein lies an explanation of the fact that, even at this lato date in the history of British Columbia, we( are still importing thousands of dollars' worth of agricultural products. No person can say that farming in British Columbia lias been a failure. There arc times and places in which crops have partially failed, but these blights upon general success will be found in all countries. There are hundreds of farmers in this country who, beginning under circumstances not tho most favorable, aro to-day independently wealthy, We do not know of any instance where a man has intelligently followed agriculture iu British Columbia without accumulating wealth. Indeed, it could scarcely be otherwise. With a rich soil, a working season of nearly twolvo months, and a very high cash market for nll products of the soil, bow- could tho intelligent, in dustrious farmer fail of success? In some parts of tbe country there aro circumstances which undoubtedly stand in tho way of successful agricultural operations, Large tiacts of the best land have remained locked up from settlement in consequence of the dispute between the provincial and national govornments. Many people have been anxious to take up these lands and work them, but could not. Tlio absence of good roads in the interior is also a great drawback. No matter how richly the soil may reward him who tills it, if the means of reaching the market are bad, farming cannot bo very successful. Without wishing to strain facts to make u political point, it must bo admitted that tho present provincial government has been criminally negligent of the public highways. As a class our farmers are not unreasonable in tlieir demands. They do not expect im- possibilitiwi, but thoy lmvo a right to expect tliat they, who contribute so largely to tho revenues of the cduntiy, shall receive fair consideration in the expenditure of those revenues. For years wc have-seen the leading roads falling into ruin, tho bridges swept away without being replaced, and the farmers left to shift as best they could. At the same time the "efforts of the tax collectors havo not abated, and the lands of thoso who have become delinquent through m'tefortune are ottered for salo by public auction 1 It should be tbe first care of a government to encourage and assist that industry which may contribute in tho greatest degree to the national progress and wealth. That industry in this country is agriculture, and the government which does not seriously concern itself about the development of our agricultural interests is not deserving of support. But in the face of some discouraging circumstances no man need be afraid to venture upon going ihto agricultural pursits in British -Columbia. There is big money in it, and plenty room for thousands who In other countries would bo scarcely able to make both ends meet. Editorial Notes. In another column will ho found a communication from Mr. Mara relating to the statement wliich appeared in the Columbian of June 21st;. Mr. Main's own version of his speech on the DeCosmos mission will certainly not bring much comfort to the Standard and its crowd, and it will not help tbo cause of the few persons on tho Mainland who still support the Government. A late number of the Ilawoay Aye states that nearly 5,000 miles of new railway track have been laid down in tho United States during the half year ending ."Otli June. This is main line, and does not include side tracks or double tracks oh the same road, of which many hundred miles have been put down. The length of main track laid fur tho corresponding period of last year was a little over 2,000. Eailwny building at the present moment is being pushed on with unabated vigor, and the result of the year's operations will probably exceed 10,000 miles. The total railway mileage of the United States is said to be over 107.000 miles. American Defences. Washington, July 11.—The situation in Egypt has attracted much attention at the capital to-day, especially at tho war and navy departments. Army and navy officers aro awaiting interesting results of the bombardment. A scientific interest is felt in this contest, as it is believed that it will bo instructive iu determining the lighting value of the latest pattern of ironclads, built with heavy ordnance. Tho British ship Invincible is supplied with thu new eighty-ton rifled gun. The representative here of the largest ordnance manufactory in the country, as he read the announcement lhat the four forts had fallen, aaid: "No more convincing proof -ia necessary uf the great value of heavy ordnance. Fortifications cannot stand against them. Tho same British fleet that is off Alexandria to-day could batter down every fort that we havo from Maine to Florida, and could sail directly under our guns and fire with impunity. That ia thu Iuhhoii of the Alexandria bombardment for this country, aud our government had better bu doing something about it, fur, as A. B, Hewitt said very truthfully in the house tbo other day, it would take threo years to build a single ono of thoso 80-ton guns."

There was no meoting of tho City 'Council last Monday night. Tlio weather continues very dry and favorable for harvesting operations. On Friday there wero three ships at Hastings milts and Tour ut Moodyville. The Moodyvillo mill is cutting liim- W at the rato of 112,000 feet each 'day of 12 hours. Tlio City Planing Mills are cutting 'an order of timber for 0. P. R.oars, *to be'shipped to Emory. JJast Thursday and Friday thero was fl'beavy blow on the gulf, and the str. Ada sought shelter in English Bay. Tho str. Rithet, Cant. Irving, returned from Yale nt 9$0 Monday horning and procundea to Victoria. , The atr.

Insley, returned from Vale on Monday 'evening, bringing pas sen go ra-, freight, -mails and express. The mosquitoes,'which hnveneen father moro numerous than usual of late along the" Lower Frasor, nre showing signs of abatement. , The Rev. W. J. Dowler, B.

Mr. Welsh and family, of Sun Francisco, who have boon spending Mime weeks nt Moodyvillo, left for honlo tin Monday. Hon. Mr. Nelson accompanied them aa far as Victoria. Last Saturday night tho str.

British Columbia, or nt least, New Westminster District, gives convincing proof of the absence of political rancour in the fact that the six candidates for the Local House aro travelling round together—ono hnppy family—speaking at the same meetings, complimenting the same voters and. keeping good- natured during inosqiiitoo season. Personal. — His Honor G. A Walkem-, 'the Mewly-appointee* utiidgc of tlfo Supf*oine Court of British Columbia, .came up by the str. Rithet . Tax Sale.—Tho Colonist of yesterday says •--'•Settlers may rejoice and bo glad. Sir M. B. Begbie has decided that tbe tax sale act is illegal, and the 25 per cent, added is unconstitutional. All the land sold for. taxes must be surrendered to tbe rorhier holders, and the government must refund all the moneys and -pay damages. It is a good thing to have an honest court to stand between nn oppressed people and an unscrupulous government." *♦ : What to Take.—-For so'lne months past advertisements have appeared in these columns respecting a medicine known ao Burdock Blood Bitters, and if half tho testimonials to its merits as a blood purifier nre truo, it must certainly bo a remedy of moro than ordinary merit. The medicine is prepared by Messrs. T.. MillVurn. &Co., o'f Toronto. Their other advertised remedies are Dr. Fowler's Wild Strawberry, which we know is used quito extensively for summer complaints, Still Anothbil—In mil* last issue we noticed the arrival of (.lie str. Joe Adams to ply iu connection with Messrs. Findlaysun, Durham &■ Bro- ilie's cannery. List Monday another new stoaiuor was added to our lleet. Her name is the "Westminster," uud she has just boon buiit for Messrs. English & Co. She is 52 feet long, 10 foot beam, 5 feet hold, IH totr-3, nud has au engine of 15 horse-power.

Fast Time.—Last week tliu str, Rithet mado tho round trip from Victoria to Yale and back in 3G hours, calling at way places and romaiuiiig an hour and a half at Yalo. Wo believe thia Is, the fastest trip ever made on these waters. The CaMi-aiux.— At (J hill i whack, on Saturday evening, tho 6 candidates for this District addressed a large and influential meeting .of electors. Ml1. Oi Ii. Ashwell occupied tho chair. On Monday forenoon a meeting was' held at Sumas, which was fairly attended. The chair was occupied by Mr. MdGilL Hvrfly.

Thia establishment is now being put in order for the fall herring fishery. - ■■ ■- ♦ From Laiiulojt • ii, July 10.—No message Vif surrender has come off shore. Tlie signal has been hoisted for the fleet to clear for action. Inside the luirbor, beginning from Fort Phjirose, will be the Tetperaco and Alexandria, Superb and Inflexible. On board the latter all is ready for notion. Numerous windmills, for ventilation between decks during tho action, form a strange picture, as they lower far from the somber turrets. Wo shall see the hot- tost tight to-morrow. At 11 o'clock the Invincible, Monarch and Penelope moved out and anchored outside the harbor. Tho sceno was impressive iu n high deyree. SloMy idl tlm foreign ships moved from their berths and Bteumed out of tho harbor. The merchant steamers presented no regular order, but the war ships of the various nations steamed out in squadrons, saluting as they passed tho Admiral's flag. Thu bauds played national airs. Scarcely a breath of wind was bltiwing. The various ensigns drooped against tho inaBts. Tho bright eastern sky overhead, tho "deep bliie sutl, the white clothed crews, clustering iu tho rigging, and tho knowledge of the change whicli would sooii take place, rendered tho stately procession of war ships extremely impressive. The merchant steamers wore all crowded with refugees, those who hud held on to tho last in tho hope that matters would not come to an extremity. By half-past 12 the American squadron of three ships, tho Russian ships, oiie Austrian and one German had all gone. ALiiXANmiil, July il.—A correspondent on board the Invincible telegraphs:—At 20 minutes after t» the ships* of the squadron signalled all ready, but a still further delay was necessary. All the Egyptian Jllicera, carrying the admiral's reply to the Minister, will be put nflllore at half- past six. A quiet order was [Iftsned around the deck to load with common shell, and a gleam of satisfaction shone on tlio men's faces, when at 7 o'clock the signal was made lo tho Alexandria to open tho bull by one gnu. Tho heavy boom came across the water. Then there was au anxious pause. Would the Egyptians answer or would they evacuate the forts? No sound camo from the fort, but tin batteries opposite we could see men loading tho guns, Thoy Would light. The order was given to conimoncu independent firing, and the signal was run up for the Hect to bogili a genera! engagement. ..-V deafening salvo from live nine-inch guns went from the sidu of the Invincible, while overhead ten Nord- enfelt guns on tho top swelled the din which burst forth from all the ships. The bank of smoke which at once ai'oSe like n wall from our ship prevented mo froi'ii seeing the results of our fire, but from the tup it was seen that the shells had struck rather" low, and the sight!, wut"o raised from 1,350 to 1,500 yards. The Monarch and the Penelope both had work closo at hand' aud tho roar of their heavy guns and the ceaseless rattle of their gattliugs and Nordenfcldt machines, aud the shrieks of the rockets which (he Monarch was discharging, added to the soulids bf our own guns, made u)i a dc'op, cnutiuus din, which it is impossible to describe, and which was most bewildering to hear. In any momentary interval tho sound of the g from othor divisions of the ih.ut told that they also wore* hard at work. Thu hardy aiuidshipmcn posted in the mu top signalled the direction of (he strt-ke of tbe shells, and their accuracy of (ire was improved. Memilinie the enomy's shots were coming thick ami fast, their aim being directed chiefly against tho Ponalopo ami Inflexible, They wero firing principally round aliot. Twenty minutes after tho first gnu from tlie fart, the royal braces wore shot away. Iniuiediately after a shot penetrated, Hplinte'r wounding a stoker syvetely. At this time limy appeared to have got our range pretty accurately, and round and Conical shot whittled thickly between lhe moats. 1 went around thu ship aud found men fighting the main-deck t'lius, all stripped to (ho waist. Between each shot (hey had to sit down and wait until the smoke cleared. They were very anxious to know thu result of (heir work, and asked eager questions uf me us to what could be seen above, but I could tell them little, for the smoke hung liko a vail between ship ami shore. To-morrow wu go in to engage the forts within thu harbor. Ou the outside of us are merchant ships aud foreign war vessels, the| most of whom will re-enter the harbor when wo have destroyed the last of the threatening forts. Over Alexandria lies a cloud Taxation is inevitable. Revenue is essential. -Built, should be lhe earnest endeavor of a Government to so apportion tiixaiitn as that it shall fall lightest upon the Industrial classes, aud so expend rcvemie'-i.s fHMftfc■permanent interests of the c6Uifti*y snail be promoted. The whole fiscal fabric of the Province needs reconstruction. PUULIC WO--.KS. ,t ' It is admitted on all sides that the Public Works of the country have been allowed to fall into a conditiort little short of disgraceful! Muclj care and attention will be rcquired'to remedy this slate of things. A judi-. doll's, (hough not necessarily heavy,: expenditure ought to take the place of unwise and ni'nous parsimony. EDUCATION. '.' While believing in a comprehensive system of state education which shall nieet tbe reasonable wants of every settlement, I feel bound to condemn sonic things done under the present system—more especially the provisiorj by which the chltttft-n of the wealthiest, and, consequently, least neces*- sitous, community receive a free higtV school education at the expense of the taxpayers, while those of ,'se,trjefs (the most important element) ai;ejn, many instances left absolutely without,aijy provision whatever for the education of their offspring. ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE. Judges are made for the People,— not the People for the Judges; and the Legislature should insist upon such a disposition of the Judges qs will most conduce to the public welfare. " . , ; -j There should also be estabjishea without delay such a scale of remuneration for' petit jurors and crown witnesses as will be equitable and just to all classes of Her Majesty's subjects-. ISLAND RAILWAY. Through the glaring incapacity and inexplicable chicanery of ..those entrusted willi tbe conduct of affairs, Ill's Island Railway question probably never was in a less satisfactory condition than it is to-day. While I feel assured that there fs- no disposition on this side of the Gulf to. sec those on the other side deprived of any possible advantage that might accrue from the construction of tbat railway, yet it is quite certain that any attempt to make it a chargje either directly or consequentially upon the Provincial revenue, or to make it in any way interfere with the completion or terminus of lhe Canadian Pacific Railway, would meet with a very determined opposition. OUR FEDERAL RELATIONS: p. While strongly asserting the Pro>. ' vinclal autonomy, it should oe lhe ainl of our Government and Legislature to cherish and maintain relations of a friendly character with a friendly Federal Administration, and avoid useless and expensive appeals from ils delib-. crate and authoritative decisions, as far as Is consistent with lhe just claims of lhe country. To maintain atcon- siderabl'e expense at Ottawa an "Afeeiit; General" whose services are of doubtful utility, whose eccentricities are liable to 'place tbe Province in a false position, and whose extreme sectionalism must disqualify him asarepre*- sentalive of the whole Province, is; lo say the very least,- unwise. It is contrary to lhe genius of our institu-i tions and unfair lo our constitutional representatives in lhe Federal Parlia1 ment. RAILWAY MATTERS OF.NF.RALLY. The work of constructing tbe Can'- .idian Pacific Railway*, so long delayed', is now making satisfactory progress —although one class of labor employed is anything but satisfactory—and there is every reason to hbpe that, before the Legislature now .about tbbbcon** stitulcd shall nave ruu its natural course, lhat railway will span the continent: Man'.* new measures of a progressive character will .unclmibtedly be nefces--. sary, tb meet the altered and ever improving Condition Of tlie country. Whether one looks to the present extremely unsatisfactory condition of affairs, superinduced by a too long term In bffice of unscrupulous men, or at the not distant future so pregnant with important results and momentous possibilities, one is constrained to admit that, tbe supreme epoch in the history of our Province is near, antl that if ever there was a time when tbtj services of the country's best men were needed to guide lhe ship of state, il Is now. ,.. It will therefore, he your duty and your interest to select such representative'' as possess lhe ability, tbe forethought and the energy lo place public affairs upon such a sound and healthy basis as will lil tbe Province to enter upon the new order of things with advantage lo itself and credit to the great Dominion of which it is destined Id become so important a part. There never was—there never nifty' bean election fraught with such important eousctptcncca — com-euuciircs not only, vitally cl.'eci.ug the present but projecting far into the futuru.; and, adapting to* the present occasion the immortal wordt^ of one of the world's bravest men, British, Columbia expect** that every elector thia day will do his duty!

I reminded her of hor promiso; she flatly told mo she recalled it. Well " ho stood before Randulf, and thero woro tones of passion in bis voico—"I humbled myself before Mifl3 Conisbrough, I entreated her to think again, to use her influence with hor mother, to moot mo half-way, and help mo to repair the injustice. I wns refused—with distress it is true —but most unequivocally. Nor would sho releaso mo until I had promised not to urge tho matter on Mrs. Conisbrough, who, I surmise, would be less stern about it. Miss Conisbrough is relentless and strong. Sho was not content with that. She not only lias a horror of my money, but even of mo, it appears. She made mo promise not to seek them out or visit them, liy dint of hard pleading 1 was allowed to accompany them homo, and bo formally introduced to her Bistors—-no more. That is to be tho end of it. I tell you, because I know you can understand it. For thu rest of the world I euro nothing, People may call mo grasping and heartless if they Choose. Thoy may picture mo enjoying my plunder, whilo Mrs. Conisbrough and her daughters nre wearing out their lives in—do you wonder that I cannot bear to think of it]'' ho added passionately. ''""•'No*, I don't. It is tho most extra- o-rdinary thing I ever heard." *'Yeft think so 1 I am glad you agree with mo. Tell me— for I vow I Am so bewildered by it all that I hardly know whether I am iu my senses or out of them—tell mo if there was anything strange in my proposal to share my inheritance with them—anything unnatural 1" "Tho vory reverse, I should say." "Or in my going to Miss Conisbrough about it, rather than to her •mother?" '"No, indeed!" "It never struck me beforehand that I was contemplating doing anything strange nr wrong. Yet Mis3 Conisbrough mado mo fool myself very wrong. Sho would have it so, and I own that there is Something about her, her nature nnd character tire so truly noble, that I could not but submit. But I submit undor protest." *'I am glad you hnve told ine,'1 said Itandulf reflectively. "Now all my doubts about you have vanished." "Could nothing bo dono through these drawings?" suggested Aglionby. "Could you not tell Delphine that someone had seen them who admired them exceedingly." "I soo what; you menu,'' said Itandulf, with a smile. "She has great schemes for working, and selliiiL' her pictures, and helping them, and so on. But I havu a better plan than that. I must work my father round to it, and then I must get her to see it. She shall work ns much as she pleases aud have as many lessons as she likes— when she is my wife." Aglionby started again, flushing deeply. Randulfs words set bis whole Jjoing into a fever, '"That is your plan I" said ho in a low wice. "Thnt is my plan, which no one but you knows. However long I have to wait, hIio shall be my wife." "I wish you good speed in your courtship, but I fear you success won't accomplish my wishes in the matter." "Miss Conisbrough must have some reason for tho strange course sho has taken," said Randulf, "Bo you think we nro justified in trying to discover that reason, or tire wo bound not t(. inquire into it *■" There wns a long pause. Then Aglionby said darkly: "1 havo promised." "But I have not." Bernard shook his head. "I don't bcUeve, whatever it may be, that any ono but Misa Conisbrough is cognizant of it." "Woll, let tne uso my good offices for you, tf ever I havo a chance. If ever I know them well enough to bo taken into their confidence, I shall use my influence on your sido—may I ?'' "You will earn my everlasting gratitude if you do. And if it turns out that they do want help—that my cousin Delphino has to work for money, you will let me know. Remember, ho added, jealously, "it is my right and •duty, as their kinsman, to see that they are not distressed." "Yes, I know, and I shall not forget you." Itandulf, whon his guest had gone, soliloquized silently; "Tliat fellow is heart and soul on my side. Ho doesn't know himself whither he is drifting. I'd liko to take the odds with any ono, that ho never mar ries that little dressed-up doll whoso likeness ho iB now carrying about with him." At Yoresett Houbo the winter promised to bo a winter indeed; a "winter of pale misfortune." Fur three days aftor her conversation with old Mra. Paloy, Judith had maintained silence, whilo her licnrt felt as if it worn slowly breaking. Sho had revolved a thousand sahomes in her mind. Strange nnd eerie thoughts had visited her in lior desolation, Sho loved her two sisters with nll the love of hor intense and powerful nature. Sho cherished them, and always had done; she was capable of self-immolation for their Bakes. But her reason, whicli wns as strong ns her heart (which combiuati made ho what sho wns), told her that in this case self-immolation would bo vain. Rhoda might be left unconscious and happy for the present, but Delphine must know the truth and that soon. Immolation would be ro- 3uired from hor also. Judith shnd- ered ns she thought of it. When hor younger sisters casually mentioned • Randulf Danesdnle'u name, nnd laughed and jo3ted with one another about him, Judith folt as if somo ono hnd suddenly dealt her n stab, or a blow, which took away her breath. Wns there no help? sho asked herself. Could (his sacrifice by no means be avoided ? If she kept hor lips forever sealed, sacrificed hor own futuro. lot thein go tho'it way, and took upon herself never to loavo, nnd never to betray tlmt mother who—who resolute ly refused, evon to herself, to call hor mother's deed by nny name, repenting, "It was for our suites, I auppM'; it was out of lovo for hor children, ns she thought." Would not that do ? Wore Delphine and Rhoda to bonr tho punishment for a sin which had boon com- uiitted before they woro born 1 Moro than once a gleam of hope crossed hor spirit; sho almost thought that her plan would answer. Then camo tho argument: "No. You must not allow this affair to go farther. * You must not allow ono of 'your family to enter that of Sir Ca- briolle Danesdale, whoso sustained name and unsullied honor nre his pride and delight. You would let yonr sister marry a man, for you know he wishes to marry her-*-slio all unconscious ns well ns he of what hung over her. You might resolve never tu betray tho secret, but you enn never be perfectly certain that it will not leak out. Somo day Itandulf might discover the truth —and what might he not iu his bitterness do or say'l Besides it would be wrong; that is all that concerns you. Do not dully nny lunger with the chimerical, wicked plan." She could see no other solution to tho question. Sho closed hor eyes— closed he* heart and hardened it ugainst tho contemplation of that anguish which was to como; and aftor waiting three whole days, she went to Delphine un thu nftcriioou uf the fourth, when the girl wns upstairs with her painting. Rhoda wns out. Mrs. Conisbrough wns taking hor afternoon rest. Delphine turned a smiling face to hor sister. Of lato, she had bloomed out more lovely than over. Neither cold, nor poverty, nor gloomy prospects had had the power to impair her beauty nnd ita development. In her heart sho carried a secret joy which was life nnd light, hopo nnd riches to her. She wns going to spend a vory happy afternoon. But Judith's presenco never disturbed her. Sho called to her to shut the dour, because the wind wns cold, nnd to como aud look at her picture, aud her voice ns she spoke rung clear as n bell, "Yes," said Judith, "and I have something to say to you whicli it would not bo well for any ono to overhear." She closed the door nnu". Sat down. She trembled and felt faint:- sho could hot stand. It was one thing, and that was bud enough, to hear tlio horrid story from other lips; it wns another —and n ghastly one—to havo tell it with her uwn to her innocent sister. To spunk to Delphine about such things —to lot her see them near—seemed to Judith to be insulting her. But it had to Ire done. Sho gathered up her courage in both hands, as it woro, und began. The conversation wns not a long one. It was begun in low tones, which grow ever fainter, and move hesitating. When Judith at last rose again from her chair, nud looked at Delphine, the latter looked to her former self exactly what a dead girl looks compared with one living—as a lily after n thunderstorm has battered and shattered and laid it low, in comparison with lhe snnie flower in tho dewy calm of an early summer morning. The elder t/irl stood with her white lips, nnd her fixed eyes, and constrained expression, looking upon the other, waiting fur her to utter some word. But nono camo. Delphine—lior face blanched within its frame of waving golden hair, hor eyes fixed ns if upon somo point thousands of miles away, to which something sho loved hnd withdrawn itself—was motionless aud silent. Judith at last stretched out hor hands, nnd exclaimed: "Delphine, if you do nut speak, I shall go mad! Give mu my due—give me tbo wretched consolation of bearing you say that I could not have done otherwise," Delphine smiled slightly, and her gaze came abruptly to earth again. She saw her sister, and said softly: "Poor Judith! Nu. Ynu could havo dono nothing elso. But you don't expect mo to thank yuu for it, do yuu ?' '■Dolphine!'' "You could havo dono nothing. But you see you had nothing to lose. I had all tho world—all the world.'' She turned away. Judith wont out of thu room, awny to hor uwn chamber- seeing nuthing, hearing nothing. She locked herself up, and for tho'first time giving way, cast herself in nn utter abandonment of* unguish upon her bed, and buried her face in the pillow; thinking tbat it'would be good for her if sho could never sue tho sun again. If Delphino had known—but sho did not know—she never should know, But if she had known—if the story of her sister's heart for the last fortnight could havo been laid bare before her—would sho havo turned away with a few cold words, ns sho had done—hugging hor uwn grief—oblivious that others could have any ? 'No, nu! Judith sworo to herself, with passionate fervor, her sweet sister could not have been so wrapped, so engrossed in herself. She should not know- -it would only add poignancy to tho anguish bIio was obliged to endure. Tho worst, surely, had been consummated, but sho did not dure to think of Delphino alone upstairs.* Tho worst, morally cunsidorcd, was perhaps over, but thero wero trials yet to come, which wore hard to boar. They heard, as in u tiny country town everything is hoard, uf Aglionby's do- partuie for Irkford. Then November set in, nud the days became shorter, darker, nud colder. Mrs. Conisbrough grew more nud more fretful and feoble, and still talked soinetimos of consulting sumo other lawyer, of disputing John Aglionby's will, and hold forth ou Bernard's greed nnd injustice in n manner whiuh used to send Judith (lying upstairs to pace nbuutjicr room with evory fooling in n state of tho wildest tumult, It was too cold for Dolphine to pursue her work upstairs. The girls mid nothing to du; nothing on which to spend their energies. When the few domestic things wore arranged, thoy had the whole day before them, with absolutely no pressing occupation of any kind. Tlio situation grow hideous nnd ghastly to Judith, She and hor sisters preserved their physical health by means of tliu regular walks which, so lung ns it did nut actiinllv snow or rain, they took daily. And Delphino had a fitful gnyoty whicli oppressed her sister, whilo neither long walks, riot arduous wurk, nor anything olso, put the faintest flush into Judith's cheek, nor called any spontaneous smile to lior lips.
