Gillanders Found At this Office Notice Wm, B. Townsond Notic* Fred, Heimerle Corporation of Delta Wm. McKee lb glvitish Columbian. Wednesday MoruliiK, lYbnitirj- 8, 188?. Journalistic Morality. A case occurred recently in San . Francisco which presents a phase of journalistic morality that must strike many persons as decidedly new. The San Francisco Chronicle had flatly declared that the Call nnd the Bulletin had sold thair editorial iti- fluenco to the Contra) Pacific Hail- way Company for the sum of $30,- 000. For tliis the two panerts entered actions for libel against the Chronicle, and tlie case was lately hoard btfore tho Courts. The presiding judge held that the charge was not libelous, because a journalist had a perfect legal and moral right to sell his talents and advocacy to whom ho pleased. ''Is it morally or legally wrong," asks the judge, "for a person to advocate a project, matter, or claim, for pecuniary or valuable considftration 1" Whatever may be the law in such cases, we fancy tlit-ve aro few peo pie who would not Unhesitatingly pronounce it a great moral wrong for the conductor of a public newspaper to dispose of his independence in any such way. But the California judge thinks differently, ami this ia the specious logic by which lie seeks to maintain his position : Talent ia as much the capital of the advocate, the lawyer, r;.id the editor as merchandise is of tnc merchant; helm'' as much light to sell his talents as the merchant his merchandise. The lawyer, the minister, the parliauicnUu-y advocate, the lecturer, the ac.tho., sells his taleut, and he is not less respected fo.* so doing. The greater his lcar.ii.ig i idust y, eloquence, arid the estee a hi vhieh he is held, tlie g*caier his poor '.ia ■;* compc ».- Mitiou. It scums to mc taut ii is .'o more libelous to accuse o -e of selli 'g for gr.f i t'*e support and r.i'.voe.*.cy of jf\ ;>etvs- pa let* than ii would be to accuse the merchant of selli.ig for gain lii±> mer- chandUe. Now, it must lie quite evident that if such a doctWre as thin is to prevail, journalistic uae'ulness, in its higliost sense, is gone. The very fact that a rewspaper may be paid for its advocacy of any measure must at oi:ce destroy the influence of that advocacy. The puulio faith in a journal of necessity rests upon % belief that it is honest aud independent of mercenary motives, and when that fa Mi lies heeu destroyed the joui'iicl's advocacy of a measure ceases to cfi'ry nvy moro wei;;ht than n priUuavy advet'tu.e- mont which lies heo'i paid for nt so much a lbe. This is niacin ie journalism, pure ard Kimjile. It degrades un hororable and noble profession, aud brings it into supreme contempt. If the Sun Francisco Bulleiin receive.! §30,000 to advocate tho interest:! o' the Ce - tral PuciSc RaUvay, a:id the people know it, ca.i ifc be expected that any ve'ianco will bo placed upon the statements aud arguments by which it seeks to peiform the conditions of ha-'gain and sale? If the people do not k*oow Unit its advocacy is paid for, then surely it is guilty of a g.'eai moral wt'or.g; for it uses its assumed i-idepede.ice and disintere:^edi*er»s as a mask behind which it deliberately deceives the public, If the California judge's lingular code of morals bo worthy of adoption, every journal should frankly declare that its influence in favor of a scheme has been paid for. Without this there could be no honesty in journalism. Wo arc- greatly mistaken if tho ethic? enunciated by this judgo meet with any favor among journalists. Iu the newspaper world there are doubtless men who have sold themselves, and will continue to sell themselves, for whatever they can got. These people are tho black sheep of the profession, and they are almost invariable found opposing every iichsmt intended to advance the public interest. But, generally, in this Dominion at least, the public press holds itself above the charge of venality. If it wero not so, the profession would speedily become the paradise of vampires who would not acruplo to levy black mail upon all whose interests it would bo in their power to touch, for no man of independent convictions would care to remain iu a profession where such principles \ prevailed. Thero are a few to whom the new doctrine comes with unmingled favor. They aro to be found scattered throughout the whole civilized world. They have beta practising ftll their lives tho very thing which this judgo declares to be legally and morally right, and his announcement comes to them as balm to a guilty conscience. But these people are generally known, and their influence in the world is generally estimated about its true value. They are parasites who feed upon the body politic until public opinion brushes them off and they sink into oblivion forever. They are always ready to advocate or oppose iu the interests of their own pockets. They attack individuals, whitewash governments, nnd put themselves in opposition to any scheme which does not subsidize their columns. They are worthy constituents of tho San Francisco judge. Editorial Notes, Quite a number uf new comers, including whole families, havo come in lately, most of whom are looking for land upon which to settle. I Jut the laud hereabout is all locked up in the railway reserve, and thus settlers are to a great extent shut out. True, there aro some very eligible lands advertised for sale iu our columns, but incoming settler*! for tho most part prefer getting land at first hand from the Government. Tho Standard of Thursday last says: "We understand that, pending their decisions iu the constitutional points raised in the Thrasher case, the Judges of the Supremo Court have declined to issue summonses or sign orders, and that tho legal business across the Bay, save and excepting matters in the County Court, ia virtually at a deadlock. Litigan ■ aro consequently it to no inconsiderable inconvenience. The precise date when their Lordships will deliver their respective decisions has not yet been disclosed. The sooner the better." It is the first timo the organ - in - chief has been brought to make any such admission, and the public may bo quite sure things have come to a terrible pass. It would be altogether too much to expect that the organ would acknowledge that Mr. Walkera has brought about this truly deplorable condition of affairs by his bungling and soitefu! legislation, but tho public do unl need to be told upon whom the responsibility rests; nov will they forget to ;pply tho true remedy when next they come up the balloi-box. With an. amount of zeal worthy a better cause, the local organ labors to teach this community to regard the Cou-mujan in the light of a common enemy. Its attempts in that direction have beon so frequently and so effectually exposed that it seems almost unnocssary to follow it up; and jot a few words in reference to iii ailaok on Saturday may bo oxcusablo. Two distinct charges havo boen brought against us, fl) that of having been "one of tho most active in having the Sappers and Miners sent away from this ciiy;" (2) that of advocating the taxing of the C. P. Railway. As to the first charge, wo have to say that it is pure and unadulterated fiction. We will place full files of the Columbian at tho disposal of our contemporary, and we defy hiin to point out a single article, paragraph, lino or word which we wrote in tho direction of "having the Sappers and Minors sent away from this ciiy." Per contra, tho files of the CotusniiAX of that period will bo found to bristle with laudation of tho corps of Royal Engineers end expressions of regret at their disband- tnont. In reply to tlio second, it will suffice simply to remind our readers that, on the 23'li ult., in a general ariicle upon taxing railways in California and elsewhere, we assumed that the Canadian Pacific Railway would be taxed in this Province as it is hi the others, "although (wo quote from tho article) W should regret to see attempted anything like unduly taxing a wo,k of that Iind." But does Iho organ really desire to be understood as advocating that the Canadian Pacific Railway (taxed in the oilier Provinces) should by free from taxation in British Columbia? Such a policy would surprise no one more than the gentlemen forming the Syndicate, who assuredly expect no exemption from taxation beyond that secured to them by the charter. Certainly such attempts to misrepresent a contemporary do not constitute very dignified journalism. FOUND.

The J'fiLAND It A 'jWAY and ths Ca- hadian Syndicate;.— It is no longer a secret that the negotiations between tlio provincial agent at Ottawa and the Canadian Pacilic Railway Syndicate respecting the construction of tho island railway have come to naught The Syndicate doclino to take hold of tlio work for the land subsidy offered by the sfmJenimeiit. Whon the petition to tho Queen was adopted we expressed grave fears that tho olfect would bo to injure tike cause it was intended to promote. The result of that petition is now before the emmivy.—Colonist. !t It is the impression that tlie Pro- •metal Government and their Agent t Ottawa have succeeded in Idling the Island railway, at least in o far as the C. P. R. Syndicate ii oncernod. In a recent trial at Toronto, the ueition of insanity being raised by Diinsel, somo disturbance caused Judgo lacken/ie to remark, "This is not Washington. No guch nonsense will e allowed here." Our Spallumacheon letter is worthy fa careful perusal. Tho writer is ii oil-informed and careful thinker, and hat ho has to say Is deserving of tho itention of those who determine uestions of railway route. It seems probable that tho hill uirtering tho South - Eastern Rail- ay, tho disallowance of which has ■cusioned very groat dissatisfaction in anitoba, will bo re-enacted by tlio !jislaturo vt that Province.. Coal and jjIlon. —Tho Winnipeg correspondent of the London Free Pees: gives a lon*^ and vory interesting account of Mr. Peter Grants explorations of the Souris coal aud iron fiolds —a stretch of country 100 miles wide and 1,000 miles in length. Coal and iron are found in alternate layers with an occasional division of rod clay. Tho veins of coal are muuh thicker than tho iron and increase in thickness as they descend, from six inches to five feut. Mr. Grain, who is an export and an authority on these minerals, describes this coal lis vory rich and especially adapted for ihn use of locomotives and for something purposes. It is the same as Scotch coal. The iron is of tho hematite variety and of the richest, description and practically inexhaustible. «. Taking Tiikm Away.—-On Saturday afie noon Mr. M. Gillanders (the brother) and Mr. John By dor (the brother-in-law of the late Mr. W. L, Gillanders) arrivod from Chilliwhack for the purpose of conveying to thoir desolated homes the inorial remains of tlio two lamented inun who, iu attempting to cross the river exactly a week before, to tho very limn*, lost their lives. Quite a procession of citizens accompanied the remains to the river. It will bo soon by reference to a card in another column how the sympathy manifested and kind offices rendered by the people of Now Westminster upon this sad occasion aro appreciated by the afflicted relatives of deceased. We hope it may he many a long year before there shall bo occasion for a similar manifestation of sympathy. . — —^. — In Memoriam.—Mnry-Strcot Methodist Church was packed ou Sunday evening, the services having special reference to the lamentable death of Mr. Lewis and Mr. Gillanders. The choir sangaunppropriateauthem, which it is hardly necessary to say was very effectively rendered. The preacher, in the courso of his discourse, alluded to the history and usefulness of tho departed, and to tho fact of their prepared - ness for tho great aud sudden change. Touching reference was made to tlio home associations, and an earnest and fooling appeal was made for the prayers nnd sympathies uf the congregation on behalf of tho bereaved families, while there was duo recognition of the deop sympathy of tho community at largo, as evinced in the universal sorrow, the energetic search for the bodies, tho respect shown to thoso bodies, and tho large attendance at theso memorial services.- The Island Railway.—The Colonist publishes the following dispatch from Montreal, dated the 3rd inst. The syndicate have finally declined to build tho island railway. Thoy say thoy have been mat in a spirit of niggardliness and Mliherality by the British Columbia government, whom they also accuse of a want of business ability. _________ Trade of Burrard Inlet. Wo have to thank Isaac Johns, Esq., of H. M. Customs, Burrard Inlet, for returns showing tho shipping trade of that port for the past year. We can only make room for the following abstract: During the year thirty-six ships, lumber laden, cleared for places beyond sens, as follows: For Sydney, 8; for Melbourne, 7; for Shanghai, 0; for Valparaiso, 4; for Iqr.que, 3; for Adelaide, 2: for London, 1; for Capo Town, 1; for Port Natal, 1; for Yokahama, 1. The aggregate tonnage of these vessels was 29,261 tons. Of these thiviy-six vessels, nineteen received thoir c.rgocs from the Hast-iug's Mills nnd seventeen from tho Moodyvillo Mills. Their aggregate cargoes consisted of 18,937,800 feet of rough lum ber; 2,423,20" foot dressed lumber; 117 spars; 170,426 fence pickets; 1 002,250 laths; 090,000 shingles; 300 cases salmon; 24 naif-barrels uohichuns; 10 bbls. fish oil. These figures do not include any of tlie domestic trade, which would probably double the shipping. They simply cover the foreign trade of the single port for the year 1881. It is proper to mention in ihis connection that, owing to the scarcity of shipping and depression iu tbo lumber marl:cia, iho trade full very much below the syerago last year; but those in tho business look forward hopefully to the approaching nonsuit. Dlsiisiroiis ftitiinwiiji On Saturday afternoon, a pair of horsos, belonging to Mr. W. B. Towu- seud, attached to a light waggon, having been left untied on Cunningham street, ran away. Turning down Douglas street, thoy ran at a terrific rate, so that on reaching Front street it was impossible for them w make the turn, and they went clear into the river, carrying the waggon with them. The water has a depth of aiitiuc thirty feet whore they ivent in, Mid waggon end horses disappeared from view, remaining so. Tackle was brought and made fast tu tho hind end of the waggon, and ifc took a great strain upon the ropo to bring it away. When it did come it was mii horses, the polo having broken, releasing the doubletrees. The theory is that, going to the bottom head foremost, tho pole stuck fast in the clayey bottom, thereby impaling the horses m that it was impossible for them to come to the surface. The luiforfliiii'te animals wore recovered some time after. Tho seam was a valuahlo one, and much tyinpatliy is felt for Mr. Towhsend. Old Government Hou;c< The gay scene presented on Monday night reminded one of old-time festivities. Tho gentlemen composing the Bbftff of C. P. R. Engineers at pro- sent domiciled there took tills community by surprise Tlio Arrangements wero very ooiuploto, the splendid old ball-room looking as well as it did in the heyday of the Seymour regime Supper wits laid in the centre room, tho same which iu General Moody's Lime, was used rs a sitting room, and nothing that could contribute to tho comfort aud enjoyment of the guests was wanting, Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, tint ut tendance was largo, and uvorywhere one hears the enter-jihitneiit spoken of iu terms of the highest praise. The C. P. R. Engineers may well be satisfied with the result of their effort to entertain the people of the "Royal'City," for thoy did it right royally, ISiirnu-rtliilct Items. Both mills are in full blast. The Rowland Hill arrived Monday for Hastiug's Mill. There are now loading at this mill thb Sari of Elgin and Blackmail, At Moody's the French vessel Avener and tho Zonard aro taking in lumber. Tho Dorset, Capt Couves, the discipline on whose ship is "equal to that of the best ordered family,"sailed Tuesday. He will bo missed liy many. On arrival hore he informed Capt Smith of the Ft in White that he had prayed for a fair wind on coming across, and had got it. Rut said Capt. Smith with characteristic irreverence "how about tlie poor devils going tho other way'/" The electric light shono from Moodyville mills Saturday lust for the first time. It is said to work admirably. Tho cost I am told would bo about $4,000. Orr was appointed Assessor and Collector. On motion ,of Coun. Haslam, seconded by Coun. Deane, a committee, consisting of Councillors Deane, Elliott, and Haslam, was appointed fur tho purpose of having the accounts of the Corporation for the past seven years examined and a proper statement of all delinquents made. On motion, the Board of Works were instructed to have desk accommodation mado for the Clerk, and a room iu tho rear of office fitted up for tho accommodation of Cmnjtablo Wiggins. Councillor Deane gave notico of a By-law to regulate salaries of Municipal Officers for the citrront year. Management of ('onceiis. (CnrroBpoaikmcouf tlio Urithli Culm-iuta-i.) It appears strange that tho Press should not remind those managers of Church concerts of their incompetency. They sell tickets of admission, receive them at the door, and leave you to find a seat as best you can. Well, you find a seat aud settle down iu it. There are four managers strutting round with a load of programmes on tlieir arm, but if you ask them for one the answer is stippped out, "They are for the ladies." After awhile a consequential looking individual, with his head thrown back no that it brings his nose and the organ of self-esteem on a horizontal line, walks up to you and orders you out of that seat in presence and hearing of the whole audience, informing you that it is a reserved seat, after refusing you a programme, tho only means of knowing there was such a thing as a reserved seat. When asked to find a seat, he tells you, "Go and look for one." Now it would be much pleas- iinter if ticket-holders were shown to their proper places, instead of being ordered out by such consequential up-stavts. A. N. Langley Soiree* (Corvcs'in-iiiffiico of tiiu IliKIsh Columbian.) Our soiree came off last evening with groat eclat Financially and otherwise, it was a success, exceeding tho most sanguine expectations of its promoters. In tho first place we wero favored by tho weather. The evening was fair and clear and mild, and the roads for sleighing purposes wero everything that could havo boon wished. At 7 o'clock, the hour at which a tempting and substantial tea was served by nn efficient band of young men, the School Hoime, which was tastefully decorated for tlie occasion, was completely filled with peoplo from the liuigley district, together with considerable contingents from Matsqui and Muil Bay. It was computed that upwards of one hundred wore present —old nnd young, tho hoary head and the child of tender age going to swell 'he assembly. Rev. Alex. Dunn occupied the Chstr. Your absence was much regretted; but nf course tho present danger in crossing the river was sulfieient to account for your non- attendance. Mr. Holding." who was tho only speaker besides tho Chairman, succeeded iu no ordinary manner in entertaining tlie audience by a racy and vigorous -speech, admirably combining thy gravo and tlio gay, tho serious and i lie amusing. Humorous readings and recitations wore given in happy stylo by Messrs. llawlison, Slugatt, and MeDougall, A choir, under t'io leadership of Mr. McKee, sang sin table pieces of music at inter- Is. Miss Norris presided at the organ, and both she and Mrs. J. Johnston delighted tho company with several songs, rendered with admirable taste and feeling. Messrs. McKee and Underwood also snng several popular songs, which were well received. The Chairman, in contrasting tho state of Langley to-day with that of Langley six years ago. said that an unmistakable improvement lutd set in; that whilo parties holding opposite sentiments still existed, the old bitterness and rancour and hate, fed by ever re-1 ourrlng law-suits, hud well nigh disappeared; that the cure had been effected partly by tho loss of old blood, partly by the infusion of now life, and partly, it was to be hoped, by the power of Christian inriuonces. At the close, Mr, Innes expressed his great gratification nt seeing such a large and happy gathering, and hoped that good and only good would result from it. Votes of thanks to singers, speakers, A*c, brought the proceeding!* of tho first soireo on Langley Prairie tu a c!ose, at a littlo past 10 o'clock. Lcnglej, Feb. 1,18lV>. reach land ou south side of south arm of Suswap lake can be done cheaply; thence twenty miles west, coasting hike, und round head at mouth of Salmon river; thence right miles north, still on lake shore; thence over divide to main lake; thence along lake, short river and small lake to South Thompson valley. From Columbia to Mr. Chase's place there is very little land fit for anything but lumbering, fishing and bunting, and very probably mining, although bo far nothing has been diScoVored. From Mr. Chase's to Jtttililoops the traveller never tires looking in every direction; every look inspires one with happiness and gratitude. It is destined to bo a home for thousands who can retire from thu busy strife and enjoy life, when in other clinics life would be a burden. Tho air and water arc both pure and invigorating, and the scenery charming. This may he the route adopted; but I think thero are other reasons iu favor of the following route, wliich diverges south from a point on Eagle Pass twelvu or fourteen miles west from Big Eddy on Columbia river. From this point on Eagle Puss there is a pass loading south fifteen or twenty miles to a lake, This pass, I learn, is easy. From head of lake to here, be ginning of settlement, and thence to Kauiloopa, I uin sure is easily prepared for tho iron horse. 1 believe this route may bo a few miles longer; hut thou there is somo country worth tapping before reaching South Thompson river. There is a largo tract of productive soil within easy reach of a railway passing through here; thence by Salmon River Pass to the charming sights and air of the famous Grand Prairie, whore there is room for several more happy and prosperous families, if they get a railway through there. Besides benefitting theso settlements thero are the widely scattered settlements of Okunagaii which have long suffered in consequence of their inland situation; these ull would benefit by the railway coming so near them. With a climate so excellent and a soil producing this year fifty bushels of > wheat to tho acre, tit to make extra Hour, give Okauagau an outlet either by canal, which can easily bo accomplished, or by railway, which would serve'better ends, nnd wonders must | follow. Anothor matter might be agitated which, I believe would help very many, and that is to opou and construct a wide tn.il from here to Bow river, so that our stock raisers might benefit by the vory promising markets iu the Bow river, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba countries. I think the distance is not over three hundred miles, by tho Indian trails, to tho east side of the Rockies. The Columbia river jus to lie crossed twice, and what other streams thero may be I cannot say. A practicable trail through from here would give a chatico for people not only to go east with stock, but other (o conto west iu search of gold. Why compel explorers lo come south by Colville, several hundred miles round, or send our discoverers much farther, when a short cut can he mado. Our cattle princes, the railway kings, and both our Jocal and Dominion parli; ments should see to this matter. Yours truly, A. L. Fortune. Spattumcheen, Jan, IS, i'888.

We need an independent paper that will inform and educate the people, free from the baneful trammels of party politics. In a thinly scattered community like British Columbia it is difficult for a paper to live and not side with one party or another. If the public would study their interests and the happiness of the following generations, they would support those papers aud journals the contents of which tond to enlighten and euoble our race. Believing that you tako an interest in all parts of our province, I will therefore solicit your attention, and 1 hope your aid, in drawing the attention of the public and tho 0. P. R, Syndicate to the following subject, namely, the railway route across the mountains. It appears to he the intention of the Dominion Government and the oarnest desire of the C. P. R. Syndicate to adopt a southern route, instead of the once favored lino by Edmonton, Jasper Pass, aud North Thompson. In 71 tho Eagle Pass was surveyed and found suitnble. If the engineers succeed in finding a route from Row river to Eagle Pass thoy can easily locate aline thence toKamloops or Savons Ferry, Tho Eagle Pass is good. Tho bridging Dkatu in the Coffee Pot.—The public aie cautioned against purchasing imported California ground coffee, Its cheapness is its only recommendation.

If elected, 1 will advocate the early completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway. 1 will urge upon the'Government the necessity of placing the Dominion Lands, now'held in reserve, in a position so they may be made available for immediate settlement. I will endeavor to show P>e C venv meat the benefit which would be derived from the extend n of the Ocean Mail Service to the Mankind, and to obtaining greater mail facilities throughout the Province. As British Columbia has not been admitted to the benefits of the Washington Treaty, I_ will urge upon the Government the justice of allowing an abatement of Customs duties upon all material required for the Fisheries, and will ask for an appropriation for the establishing of Hatcheries. The Agricultural, Manufacturing, and Mining interests will receive my most careful attention, and if the formation nf a Commercial Federation of Great Britain and her Colonies, for ihelr mutual benefit, should come under consideration, it will receive my earnest support. Owing : the transitory state of the Dominion, v..any new questions will undoubtedly arise; in .dealing Wfth these, I will see that the interests ot" my constituents are protected.

David had looked ill and miserable in the morning, and refused to join them in the drive. When they proposed to put it off, so that he night be able to accompany them, he seemed bo unnecessarily angry that they decided to leave him, thinking that perhaps solitude was what he wanted. Amy was longing to comfort him, and yet she felt angry with him too, for he did not even look at her. When they had started she tried to rouse herself to take an interest in the sudden changes from richly wooded hills to barren heath, and to be a lively companion; but it was not easy, and tho effort was not very successful. Her thoughts would go back to David, and his face would come before her with its saddest expression and the wistful look in the eyes that made her heart ache. She had a wild longing to jump out and get back to him, and then a thought suddenly came into hor head which made tho color rise to her oheoks and tier heart beat faster. What was it 1 She was ashamed to look it in the face, and so she suddenly began to be very talkative; but tho fit of scorning gayety did not last long. As they drove home again after the horses had rested, the thought came back to her. Tin's timo it mado tier bo pale that Mrs. Dalrymple wrapped her up in shawls, thinking she had caught a chill. Whon they reached tho inn it was six o'clock. The landlady, who was at the door, said: "If you please, sir, Mr. David has gone to Inverness by the five o'clock boat. He asked mo to give you this letter." When Amy heard this it seemed as if a cold hand had seized her heart. It was all that she could do to keep from falling. Mrs. Dalrymple noticed it, and for one moment her confidence in her own triumphant genius failed her, aud a fear came over her that she had caused some terrible mischief. But tho letter gave a simple enough explanation of his going. For some days his arm had been giving him great pain, and ho lu.d thought best to go to Inverness, now that his pressing work was over, aud havo it s|ieu to. He said nothing about when he meant to return; but asked them all to excuse tho manner of his leaving. This, to a certain extent, satisfied Mr. aud Mrs. Dalrymple; but Amy, thinking of the scene of tho previous evening, and of all his behavior toward her, became at once convinced that he never meant to come back. It was vory terrible to her; sho tried hard, however, to hide her trouble. Fortunately, tho long drive gave her an excuse for feeling fatigued, and she went early to bed—but not to sleep. Sometimes she thought: "How foolish I am! of course ho will come back." At others she was perfectly certain that he never meant to seo her again. If ttiat were so Amy ought to have felt very angry with him; sho could not feel anything but Borrow, for sho was suro he loved her; and, if so, ho too must be suffering. She was conscious of an absurd wish to find him nnd console him for trouble whieh was all of his own making, Sho was not tu bo envied; but— neither was he. Toward morning exhausted nature triumphed, and Amy fell into a sound Bleep. When she awoke the sun was shining brightly, and everything seemed bo cheerful that it was impossible to take the gloomiest view of things. In the afternoon, as thoy were returning from an expedition to tho ruined castle, it was suggested that David might have driven over from Inverness, as the distance was only fifteen miles. He had not come, however, and Amy's spirits fell somewhat. Next day, ns Mrs. Dalrymple was feeling out of sorts, it was arranged that her husband should remain with her in the early part of tho day and go out fishing afterward. Thus Amy was freo to spend some hours out of doors. Now her favorite walk hud always been in the direction of tlie Falls; but this morning, when she stood for a few minutes iu the porch looking up and down the road as if undecided which way to go, she finally went to the left und walked toward the loch. This road led first to the landing pier, and then along the side of tho loch to Inverness. On her left were steep hill Rides thickly carpeted with purple heather, The owner of theso hills had evidently been replenishing his purse at tho expense of the wood, and the white roots of the recently cut trees btight- •ned the dark hill side. To the right was a sloping bank leading down to the loch, aud separated from the road by a stone wall nearly four foot high. For the most part, ono could only got bright glimpses of tho rippling waters of Loch Ness through the trees; but thoro wero occasional breaks, and Amy often stopped to enjoy the view. When she had walked about two miles, sho came to u little mountain stream whieh, having succeeded in descending by modest leaps from tlio top of tho hill, found itself confronted by an inexorable rock. Soohig that it would bo useless to attack it in a straightforward way, the stream had resolved to get around it, ond had divided its forces in order to do this the more effectually, The small bodies of water wero decidedly astonished to iind themselves after a short journey angrily precipitated into a pool about twenty feet below. When thoy had recoverod themselves they had to subdue their pride, and crawl miserably across tho dusty road. Those that escaped, however, soon danced for joy to find themselves with their glittering array of cousins in the loch. Feeling thirsty, Amy tried to catch somo of the falling drops, but could not manage it; so she clambered up the bank at the side, and found a deep pool behind the rock, where tho wators rested a little to take counsel together. Having quenched her thirst, she lay down on the heather, which made a vary comfortablo couch, and watched a little fish that had somehow got into the pool and seemed to bo its only tenant, She wondered whether or not it ever grew tired of its cool retreat, and felt inclined to yield .to the temp tations of the eager drops and go forth in search of adventures. The walk seemed to have made Amy forget her fears; but suddenly she looked up and listened intently, while the color rose to her cheeks. Tho sound of wheels draws near, coming from the direction of Inverness; she gets up quickly, and places herself so that she is almost hidden by the rocks, but can look down into the road. Can it be? As the horse's head becomes visible she gazes down eagerly. There are four ladies in tho carriage. Amy becomes conscious that her heart is beating wildly, and that she is terribly disappointed—she sinks down on the heather, trembling and ashamed. The stream continues iu vain its affectionate murmur—it has no longer power to soothe her. That afternoon; whon Amy was reading aloud to Mrs. Dalrymple, she found it dillicult not to break down. Mrs. Dalrymple noticed tho tears in her voice, but said nothing. She drew her own conclusions, however. The result was tho following conversation with John when he roturned triumphantly with ono half - pound trout: "We must do something about David. Cannot you go to Inverness and induce him to come back ?" "No, Emily; you must remember that I refused to be your accomplice. All I promised was neutrality." (iBe serious, John. It is no joking matter now. I am anxious for Amy's Bake." "Has she told you anything!" "No; that is just the worst part of it, I do not know what has passed between them, and of course it is a delicate matter for a proud girl liko Amy to talk to mo about." "My idea was that a woman always confided theso things to any other woman who happened to be near her." "Yes, but you forget that I am David's relation," "That would malco a difference, certainly. How would it do, now, if I were to disguise myself as a woman and do the sympathising confidante 1 I should like the part, What a fool David is! Amy is far too nice a girl to be sacrificed to his obstinacy. I wonder what makes her liko him. He is much older than she is, and, though ho is my brother, ho is hardly an Adonis—nor even ,1 Hercules." "But then, John, Amy is not quite like other girls." After thinking a littlo, John said earnestly: "Look here, Emily—I'm really as eager about this as you; but take my advice. Give him a week, and then I shall write to him. Tu interfere with him sooner would bo dangerous." "Saturday and Sunday passed wearily enough for Amy. Even on Monday there was no news, but on Tuesday morning there was a letter to John, in which David referred vaguely to somo intended journey; but still said nothing about his return to Drtnn- nadrochit. Now, one of David's peculiarities was that every now and then, after having left his friends lor a long time iu ignorance us to bin whereabouts, he would write to them from Egypt, Palestine, or somo other far distant laud to wliich his studies had attracted him; bo these dark hints of his with regard to travelling alarmed Mr. and Mrs. Dalrymple. Amy's cheeks had already lost the bloom for which thoy hud all praised the mountain air; but as she heard tliis letter read sho grew still paler, und her lips were compressed as if in pain, for sho, too, was aware of David's peculiarity. She had been trying herd to be brave during the suspense of the last two or three days, but her philosophy did not avail her as it had done in her earlier trials. Then her troubles had been inevitable. Nothing that she could have done would havo altered the courso of events, All that then happened to her had evidently been determined by implacable destiny, and she had only to resign herself lo sutler. But now it was different. Resignation did not seem the only course. Thoro was room for action on her ■ part, nnd it was the struggle going on between her pride and love that made her look so ill. At times, when tho tone of his voice und the expression of his faco were moat present to her, sho felt perfect assurance of his hive, and the question aroso within her, Should she give him somo sign that ho possessed hers? Could she do it ? If she answered "Yes," and begun to think out a letter to him, there rushed in an army of doubts. What if bIio should be mistaken I After all, her imagination might havo deceived her. She had perhaps misinterpreted the meaning of his looks and tone. After tho arrival of tho lottor tho struggle was intensified, aud was almost more than she could bear. On Thursday morning she sat down at a little tabic in her room and tried to write. Half a dozen notes wero written and torn up. Two hours iiud passed, und yet it was not done. At last, having sat for half an hour with ''Dear Mr. Dulrymple" on the sheet before her, sho gave it up in despair. The only words that rang in her ears wore—"Como back." Outside it was a wild day, and Amy, who had always liked being out in a high wind, suddenly started up, seized her hat and jacket, and rushed out, feeling that she must bo alouo and in the midst of tho storm. Tho maid servant gazed wonderingly after her, as she almost ran past the few houses of the village, and turned as usual toward the Falls. Tho trees tossed and crcukud as the wind roared through thom, in sympathy with the surging billows of thought that made her brain whirl. Sho hardly paused nn instant till she had reached that summer house where so short a timo beforo life had for a moment seemed so full of peace. The contrast was ton bitter. Sho threw herself down on her knees, rested her head on the rough seat, and sobbed. After somo discussion with his wife, John Dalrymple despatched the following characteristic note' "Dbak David: Don't be it fool and run off to the other end of nowhere without saying good-by to your friends. Emily and I are well. Amy line been ill ever since you left; she seems to miss her daily dose of Greek. Tastes differ. You had better come back. Yours. John." ('io WCmllnnnd.)
