He lind not uimed at this confession so soon, but he put it not from him now. He gazed a moment into the fair maiden's kindling eye, and as he saw the lovelit tear gathering there and the happy smile working its way about tlie rosy lips and awny in the joyous dimples he opened his arms and clasped the fondly loved one to his bosom. "Oh, 1 am not deceived in this!" he murmured. "Speak, dearest one." "I cannot forget lhe love of the happy times agone," the noble girl replied, gazing up lb rough her happy tears. "Oh. bow many and many nn hour have 1 prayed (o God that tbose days might return nnd that Ibe one Irue heart of earth I loved might he mine once more. Ruric, why should I bide lhe truth or why set il aside? To me thou nrt nil in all. I bave no one else lo love and none lo love mo else save the noble girl wbo hrniighl you hither. ] can tell \ou no more." Happy Kuric! Happy at that mo- nieni. forgetting all else but the love lhat gleamed out upon him then, he clasped lhe cherished object ardently to his bosom. Hut lhe moments Hew on, and nt length his mind came lo the subject of bis visit. "Rosalind," he said, holding ono of her fair hands in his grasp, "you know the Count Conrad llnmonoff?" "Aye," returned the maiden, with a shudder. "He is here very often, and be bas forced himself upon my companionship when, if ho had sense, he must have known I liked it not." "He is a suitor for your hand, is he not ?" "He was, but ho is not now." "Not now?" repeated Rurie, with surprise. "What mean you?" "Why, simply that he has asked tho duko for my hand and that ho was answered in tho negative." "Hid you hear tho duke answer him so?" "No; but so the duke assured me ho had done. But what mean you?" "1 will toll you. Yesterday tho count came to my dwelling accompanied by Stephen Urzen. He had a paper drawn up by the duko's own hand in which I was made to say, or, rather, by which the writer said, lhat he dsclairned all pretensions lo your hand and that ho wished not to marry you; that ho freely gave you up, meaning to seek within the sphere of his own Bocial circle 6ome companion when he wished. And this I wns asked to sign." "By the count?" "Yes, hy the duke's orders." "Oh, it cannot bo!" uttered the fair girl, trembling. "And he further assured me that be dnke had requested him to ob- ain my signature thereto, so that ic migiit receive your hand without ui pediment." "So mat tlio count niigtit receive mv hand?" ""Yes." "But tho duke assured me only yesterday that I should bo troubled no more with tbe count. May there not he some mistake?" "There can be no mistake on my part.. The instrument was in tho duke's own hand." "But you did not sign it?" "Ask me if 1 took my own life— if I made a curse for all I loved." "It is strange," tho maiden murmured, bowing her head a few moments. "And yet," she added, looking up into her companion's face, "1 do not think the duke would be treacherous}." "He-may be," answered Ruric. "Ho knows how lightly our noble emperor holds empty titles, and perhaps ho fears if this matter came to the imperial ear and you should claim the right to marry with whom you pleased Peter would grant your prayer; hence bo wished to get my claim set aside so that ho may have a clearer field in which to move. Do you know how the duke's affairs stand at present?" Rosalind thought awhile ere she answered, nnd then, while a startled expression came to her face, she said: "Ruric, I do remember now that between tbo duko and young Damo- nolT there is Borne matter of dispute. There is somo question of property." "Ah I" uttered tbe youth earnestly. "How is thnt?" "Why, r.s near as I can understand it, there was a dispute between the duko and the elder Damo- tiolT concerning the ownership of Drotzen, the estate on tbo Don, in Kaluga, and since the father's death Conrad has maintained his family claim. You know the duko and the old count married sisters, and this estate belonged to them." "And now," suggested Ruric, "may not the duke mean to compromise this matter by giving your hand to tho count and taking Drotzen in exchange?" "Oh, I cannot think sol'' the maiden returned earnestly. "Tho duke would not do that Ho is kind to me, I am sure. He loves me as though 1 were his own child. 1 know he does, for in a thousand ways he has shown it. He is mindful of my comfort and anticipates my every want. No, no; if lie is deceiving any one, he must bo deceiving the count." Uuric started as the new suspicion flashed upon bim. Had the duko sent Damonoff upon that mission on purpose to get bim into a quarrel ? "By my soul," thought the youth to himself, "the duke knows that I havo taught the sword play, and he knows that the count would in this match for me. So he thinks in this subtle manner lo mako me nn instrument for ridding him of a plnguel" But tho youth was careful not to let Rosalind know of this, lie knew she would be unhappy if she knew that a duel was likely lo come oft between himself and the count. After 6omo minutes of comparative silence Ruric touched upon a point which lay vory near bis heart. "Rosalind," be said, taking both her bands in his own, "there is one point upon which we have never spoken, and 1 know you would have me speak plainly and candidly. You know my situation. My father and your father fought side by side, but iny father fell, while yours returned lo his homo. For his eminent services your father received a title and u noble estate from the grateful l'V odor, while my father was only forgotten; hence our stations are now widely different. Yet 1 am not poor. N'o other man in the empire can compete with me in tho manufacture of arms, and from my labor I dorivo a handsome income. You know it all. And now, if other obstacles wero removed, would you give mc vour hand and become mine for life?" "Aye, Ruric," the noble girl answered, with beaming eyes and a joyful expression of countenance. "Were you reduced to the lowest estate of poverty, so long as your generous, pure soul was free I should only bo the more anxious to lift you up. Oh, my love knows only the heart whereon it is secured, and for my future of joy I nsk only the truth of my husband's love." "Bless you, dearest 1" Rurio murmured, clasping the fair being to his bosom. And for a long wbilo Rosalind's head lay pillowed upon the shoulder of the mau she so truly, fondly loved. That was not the time for bringing forward doubts and fears. Ruric had many questions in his mind concerning the impediments that stood in tho way of their union, but lie kept them to himself now. At length ho arose to take his departure, and ho simply said as he drew the maiden to his side: "You will not allow the duke to give your hand away ?" "Never, Ruric." "If ho asks you for your hand to bestow upon any of his friends, you will tell him"— '"'lhat my heart is not mine to ghe and lhat my hand cannot go without it." "Oh, bless you, Rosalind, bless you! God keep and }'uard you ever." There was ono warm, ardent pressure of lip to lip, and then Ruric Novel turned away and was soon in the open court. Here be entered his sledge and then drove to the barracks in the Khilagoiod, whore he inquired for Alaric Orsa, a lieutenant of the guard. The officer was quickly found, and as he met Ruric bis salutation was warm and cordial. He was a young man, not over five and twenty, and ono of the finest looking soldiers in the guard. "Alaric," said the gunmaker after tho first friendly salutations had passed, "I may have u meeting with Conrad, Count Damonoff. Ho has sought a quarrel—insulted me most grossly—aimed a blow at my head— and I knocked him down. You can judge as well as I what tho result must bo." "Most assuredly he will challenge you I" cried tho officer excitedly. "So I think," resumed Ruric calmly. "And, now, will you serve mo in tho event?" "With pleasure." "I may refer his messenger to you?" "Yes, surely. And how shall I act? What will you do?" "Knock him down again under the same provocation." "I understand. You wish to retract nothing?" "No. Listen; I will tell you all since 16eek your aid." And thereupon Rurio related all that had occurred at the time of the count's visit to his shop. "Good," utiercd Alaric as the gunmaker finished. "Ho must challenge you, and then you'll punish him. lie's too proud now. He can handle somo of his lilytops who associate with him, and perhaps ho thinks ho can do tho same when he comes out among the harder men. But never mind, I will be punctual and faithful." Ruric reached home just as his mother was placing the board for dinner. He often went awav on business, and she thought not of asking him any questions. CHAPTER IV. THE CHALLENGE. In the afternoon Ruric retired te his shop, where he went at work upon a gun which had been ordered some days before. As yet he had said nothing to Paul concerning the affair of the day before since his return from the Kremlin. He asked him now, however, if any one had called. "Only (Iv monk," returned Paul, without seeming to consider that there was anything very important in the visit. "Uo you mean the black monk— Vladimir?" asked tho young man, starting. "Yes, my master. He called here about the middle of the forenoon. He wanted one of tho small daggers with lhe pearl haft." "And did you let him have one?" "Certainly. He paid me 4 due*, ats for it and would have paid moro bad I been willing to take it." "And did he make any conversation?" "Yes. He asked me why the Count Damonoff came here yesterday." "Hal How did he know of their visit?" "He was waiting at tbe inn for a sledge when he overheard tho count and liis companion conversing upon the subject." "And did he ask you any questions touching'the particulars? "Yes—many." "And how answered you ?" "7 told him the whole story, from beginning to end. 1 found that he knew something of their purpose from what he accidentally overheard, and, rather than havo him go away full of surmises, I told him all." "Of the message too?" "Yes, my master. I told him all that happened, from tbe showing oi the paper which the duke had drawn up to the departure of the angry man." "And what did the monk say?" Rurio asked very earnestly. "Why, he said he knew the count and tbat he was a proud, reckless fellow and worth but little to society; that was all. He did not seem to care much about it anyway; only he said he should have done just as you did and that every law of justice would bear you out. He had more curiosity than interest, though I am sure all his sympathies aro with you." "Very well," returned Rurie. "It can mutter but little what the monk thinks about it, though I would rather have him know the truth if ho must know anything, for I would not be misunderstood." "He understands it all now, my master, and I trust you are not offended at the liberty I took in telling him." "Not at all, Paul; not at all." noro the conversation dropped and the work was resumed in si- lence. ft was past if o'clock whon Ruric's mother came and informed him that a gentleman in tho house would speak with him. "Is it Stephen Urzen?" asked the youth. His mother said it was. "Then bid him come out here." Claudia retired, and in a few moments more the gentleman made hia appearance. "Ruric Nevcl," he said, bowing very stiffly and haughtily, "I bring a message from the Count Damonoff." "Very well, sir," returned the gunmaker proudly, "I am ready to reci j it." Thereupon Urzen drew a sealed note from his pocket and handed it to Ruric, who took it and broke the seal. Ho opened it and road as follows : Rurio Nevcl- An Insult ot the most ap-f-ravatlnr* nature haa for th. time leveled .11 dlatinctlona ot t-aate between ua. Your blood alone can waih out tlie stain. 1 would not murder you outright, and In no other way but thia can 1 reach you. My friend, the bearer of thia, will make all arrange* inents. It you dare not meet mc, aay bo, that alt liiuy knuw who la tbe coward. DlHONorr. When Ruric had read the missive, he crushed it in his hand and gazed its bearer some moments in the face without speaking. "Will you answer?" asked Urzen. Ho spoko more softly than before, for he saw something in the gun- maker's face which lie dared not provoke. "Are you acquainted with Alalia Orsa, a lieutenant of the guard V "Yes, sir; I know him well." "Then let me refer you to him. I Io will make all necessary arrangements, and I shall hold myself bound by his plans. I trust that is satisfactory." "Yes, Bir." "Then you and I need have no moro to say." "Only on ono point," said Urzen, with somo little show of confusion. "You aro tho challenged party, and you will havo the choice of weapons. The count has not mentioned this —mind you, ho has not, but I as his friend deem it no more than right to speak of it—I trust yon will choose a gentleman's weapon. In the use of the pistol or the gun he is not versed." "While you imagine I am," said Ruric, with a contemptuous curl of the lip, for he knew that the man was lying. He could see by the fellow's very looks that Damonoff had commissioned him to broach thia matter.. "Of course you are," returned Urzen. "And the count is most excellently versed in the use of the sword, ia he not?" "He is accounted a fair swordsman." "Aye; to I thought. Bnt it mat- tors not to tne. The thought had not entered my mind beforo. rave that I supposed sworia wcvli h: the only weapons thought or. nowever, Orsa will settle it with you. I have given him no directions at all save to serve me as he thinks proper and to act upon the understanding that if I have given offense to the count I would do tho same again under provocation. You understand now?" "I do, sir," returned Urzen in ■ choking tone. "Then wait a moment, and I will give you a message to Orsa." Thus speaking, Ruric went to his desk, and upon the bottom of the missive he had received from tho count he wrote: Dear Alaric—I lend thia to you by the aame hand that bore It to me, and you are hereby empowered to act for me aa you may deem proper. 1 ahall be governed strictly by your arrangement.. Huitio. Having written this, ho showed it to Urzen and asked him if he would boar it to the lieutenant. An affirmative reply was given, and then, simply folding the noto in the opposite way from the original fold, the gunmaker superscribed it anew to the lieutenant and handed it to his visitor. Urzen took it, and, with a stiff bow, but without speaking, ho turned and left' tho place. That evening about 8 o'clock a sledge drove up to Ruric's door, and Alaric Orsa entered the house. Ho called the youth aside and informed him that the arrangements had all been made. "Damonoff is in a hurry," ho said, "and we have appointed the meeting at 10 o'clock tomorrow forenoon. It will take place at the bend of the river just beyond the Viska hill." "And the weapons?" asked Ruric, "Swords," returned Orsa. "Tho count will bring his own, and ho gives you the privilege of selecting such a one as you choose." "I thank you, Alaric, for your kindness thus far, and you may rest assured that I shall bo prompt." "Suppose I call here in the morning for you ?" suggested tho visitor. "I should bo pleased to have you do so." "I will, then. I siiall be along in good season with my sledge, and wo will both reach tho ground together." Thus it was arranged, and then Orsa took his leave. When Rurie returned to his seat by the fireplace, he noticed that his mother watched him narrowly and with more than ordinary interest. Ho had once made up his mind that ho would say nothing to his mother about tho affair until it was over, but as the time was set and the hour drew nigh his mind wavered. When it was over, where might ho be? But he was cut short in his reflections by the voice of his parent. "Ruric," she said, and her voice trembled while Bhe spoko, "you will pardon me for prying into your affairs, but I cannot hide from myself that-something of moro than usual moment is the matter with you. Why are these men calling to and fro? And why aro you so thoughtful and moody ? You know a mother's feelings, and you will pardon a mother's anxiety." "Surely, my mother," the youth returned, gazing up for a moment and then lotting his cyos droop again. At length ho resumed, "1 had made up my mind to toll you all ere you spoke." There was something deep and significant in Ruric's tone, and his motlicr quickly caught the spark. "What is it ?" she tremblingly uttered, moving her chair nearer to her child's side. "Listen," the young man said. And thereupon ho detailed the circumstances attending the visit of the Count Damonoff to his shop. Then he told of his own visit to Rosalind and its result and then of the visit of Stephen Urzen. "And now, my mother," he added without waiting for any reply, "you know it all. You see how I am situated. Remember, our nation has reached its present point by successful war. The soul of the nation is built upon military honor, and "Since our noble emperor has opened tho way of advancement of the lowest of his subjects who are brave and truo tho coward is looked upon with 'disgust upon alt hands. Yet, my mother, I would havo you speak." For some moments Claudia Nevel was silent. But at length she said, while a tear glistened in her eye: "I have given one loved being up to my country's good. Russia took my husband from me, and 1 could ill afford now to lose my son. Yet rather than ono stain should rest upon his namo I would sec him dead beforo me. Oh, Ruric, you know whether dishonor would rest upon you wero you to refuso this chal- lenee." [TO SI OONTIN CED.] '* ■,*,• > Betting; Moody niaht. Among the stories treasured by tba people of New York's east side Is oue about Dwlght L. Moody, who once conducted a revival meeting at the Allen Street Methodist church. At the close of an unusually eloquent talk Moody said to his audience, "Now, how many persons here are Christ* tians?" Instantly there was a mighty stir, and every man, woman nnd child lu the crowded bouse stood upright. Moody was visibly impressed nnd snid In tones of grentest satisfaction, "In all my thirty-live yenrs' experience 1 have never seen such a showing." At the close of the meeting tho pastor of the church took Moody aside nnd snid: "I say, Mr. Moody, you don't want to be too pleased over thut showing. Down here there lire ouly Jews and Christians, nnd the people wauled you to understnnd thc.-o wasn't a Jew among them.". Notwithstanding the fact that tbe exports of high class horses from the United States have been comparatively small, the fact remalus that more of all equine sorts hnve left our shores during the season just closed than during any previous twelvemonth period, says Breeder's Gazette. The reason for this Is, of course, the enormous purchases of cavalry, artillery and mounted Infantry horses hy various European governments. Tlio Rritisb empire has heeu naturally our best customer, taking ns many ns 8,0(10 head out of Ihe country ut one shipment. Germany purchased large numbers on the Pnellle slope early In the year, uud the latest candidate for the favor of American auctioneers was the Italian government, which lirst had a small contract executed for plain artillery animals nud later sent an enlarged order lor both cavalry and gun horses. In addition to the horses taken for the use of John Bull In South Allien tens of thousands of nuiles were nlso purchased with good Hritisli gold so that not only sliould the export of horses prove the largest in numbers, but also that of mules.

According to the fourth and latest of its interesting reports on experiments in tlie tlilugu ot potatoes, tho Cornell (N.V.) station hits arrived at the following conclusions: Intensive tillage ulono is not sufficient to produce a large yield of potatoes. Tho soil upon which the potatoes ate grown should be properly supplied with humus if moisture is to be conserved through a drought. tin a soil well supplied with humus the moisture muy be conserved even through u severe drought and a fair crop uf potatoes produced. Spraying Willi bordeaux mixture hi nunrly every case lias increased tho yield of potatoes even whon blight bus not been provident, Tho practice sliould become more gen- oral. Harrowing potato land after potatoes are planted and before the plants tire above ground is a wise prnel ice. intensive tillage may be overdone. During a drought only so much tillage is necessary as shall keep tbe sulfate mulch loose und thoroughly dry. Tho diler tho surface layer of soil lite more slowly will moist ure be absorbed by lt front the layers of subsurface soil. Spraying with bordeaux mixture sliould he done thoroughly. Pruning potato vines to one main stem was not beneficial. Potato machinery, while not yet perfected, has reached such a degree of perfection that where potatoes are grown upon any considerable area spocinl potato machinery should bo provided. Implements should be put chased which are found adapted to the local conditions, There is no royal road to success with potatoes Methods of procedure which are applicable during one season must be modified to meet the requirements of another season. Treatment of soil might be radically wrong when applied to another soil. Success will only be attained* j by tgorough familiarity with the plant, and its habits of growth, and then conditions must be made to meet ns completely as possible the requirements of the plant.

Some farmers have tin idea thut they must forego this luxury, when"ulinost any stand of tame grass. If the time needed to complete this natural reclamation is too long, the process can be hastened by irrigation to assist in washing out the salt, or salt resisting crops may be planted. ^Asparagus, onions, sorghum and •beets withstand large quantities of S'alt in the soil, and if the soil is | such as to be acceptable to any of ,these crops they will prove profitable. \ Narrow Tlr.-a Spoil Roada.

Out- present icehouse is built us cheaply as possible uud took less than a day's work in construction. Tlte figure shows tho plan of the framework. We used white oak poles set into the ground about two feet. Somo cheap hardwood bill stuff of 12 by 4 uud 2 by (I pieces were used for plates, nail ties, braces and rafters. A fair grade of pine slock boards 12 inches wide wtts used for siding. The siding wns nailed on the inside of Ihe poles horizontally, better to resist lutcrul pressure from lhe packed ice and sawdust. A belter grade of stock boards one foot wide furnished a good roof. Suth u board roof should be made quite stoop to shed water und, with kerfs cut on emit edge, makes almost a perfect roof. The figure shows how tho kerfs are cut. one-half inch wide and three- eighths of an Inch deep. The roof hoards should be dressed on their upper surface, and the kerfs should be cut at least three-fourths of an inch from each edge. The mill operator sets the btizzsaw out of line ou the mandrel shaft just right lo mako a hair-inch wabble. Nail the roof hoards ou each edge, outside the kerfs, and drive one nail in the centre of the board. Our icehouse cost us less than $15 and will last as long und keep ice just us well as one costing S100 or more. TYPICAL HOLST-SIN HEAD. cost and find from the creamery book! how much milk each furnished. It was found that thirty-five of these 100 farmers milked their cows at an actual loss and that every one ot these losing herds consisted of dual purpose cows. "The reason for this," he said, "is ignorance and nothing else." Tbe farmer was trying to dairy without cows suited to dairy performance, and be fed foods not suited to the production of milk. The highest profits In every case came from the herds which were dairy bred nnd dnlry fed. They had dairy form and aptitude and food containing a sufficiency of protein. Mr. Hoard's main contention Is that tbe patron Is In the rear. The cream- erymen and tbe creameries nre reasonably up to date, but tbe patron bas not progressed. He Is In the rear, and so long as tbis Is the case no satisfactory progress can be made, for no creamery can prosper without milk from prosperous pntrons, nnd tbey cannot prosper If the milk pays little or no profit Care of the Dairy Cow. While we believe In selecting for the dairy cows that are of what is called the dairy type, so often described and, wo nre sorry to sny, variously described by the many writers, we must take exceptions to the Idens of some writers who plnce too much stress upon tba Importance of these points. There 1| occasion to observe the Individuality, of the animal, which we think depends very much upon the care given her as a calf and a heifer. If she has been bred ns a dnlry cow either for production of milk or butter, she should also hnve been fed for the same purpose almost from the time the calf Ib dropped until lt reaches the dealer or the dairyman. Any lapse in feeding is almost as bad for tbe usefulness In the dairy as an outcross in breeding. Perhaps wo might say tbat lt Is worse, for we would expect to mako a good dairy, cow from a fairly well bred grade animal that bad been properly fed np to and during the time she was fresh with her first calf than from one of tha best breed that bad been unduly fattened or starved during the first three years ot her life.

Kidney and Urinary Troubles were Followed by Dropsy -— A Perfeot Cure by Dr. Chase's Kldney-Llver Pills. This case of Mr. James Trcneman, tho well-known butcher, of H36 Adelaldo street, London, Out., Is another proof that Dr. Chaso's Kidney-Livor Pills are effective in tho most severe and complicated diseases of the kidneys. Tho double action which this famous prescription has on,both the kidneys and liver io in a large measure responsible for its wonderful curative powers. When there are backache, frequent, difficult or painful urination, dropsical swellings, biliousness, constipation or stomach derangements, you may depend upon it that the kidneys are clogged and the liver sluggish. It Is at such times that Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills prove themselves prompt to give relief and certain to effect a cure. The evidence to prove this fact is simply overwhelming. Mr. James Treneman states:—"Two years ago I wns laid up with Kidney disease and urinary troubles. Besides the pain and Inconvenience caused by these troubles I becatuo diopsieal, and my legs would swell up so that I could scarcely go around ut ail. Hearing of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills I procured a box and continued the use of this valuable medicine until now I can say for a certainty that I am entirely cured. I never took any medicine that did mo Si> much good, and am firmly convinced that if it had not been for this medicine I would not bo working to-day " As a family medicine of tested and known worth, Dr. Chase's Kldi, v-Llvcr Pills have never been approached.

(Compiled from The Commercial) The Manitoba wheat market has been quiet during the week, and trade moves along in a steady way without much demand for wheat, or pressure on the part of the holders to sell it. Wheat for immediate or early delivery is easier to sell than for more distant delivery. Last week prices left off at 74%c for 1 northern, ami 72-%c for 2 northern, in store Fort William, spot or May delivery, and by Tuesday afternoon they had advanced under the influence of stronger outside markets to TGVic and 74%c; but since then they have declined 1c, and at the close of business on Friday the best prices obtainable were 7514--' 1 northern, and 7ll\'kc 2 northern spot or May delivery, in store Fort William.

At country points farmers are getting 89c to 31c for No. 2 white oats. .PAULEY—.Stocks available are very light and the market has jumped to 40 to 48c for seed grades and 40c to 42c for feed grades, in car lots on track Winnipeg. FLAXSEED—Dealers are asking $2.00 per bushel tor seed flax. HAY—Receipts are light, and the market is $1 higher at $8 to $9 per ton for fresh baled. Loose hay is not offering to any extent. POULTRY—Thero is very little poultry in the market. Chickens are worth 12i/2c per pound for fresh kill. ed, and turkeys 12-^c to 15c, according to quality. BUTTER— No country creamery butter has reached this market yet an>l there is consequently nothing new to report.- The weather has not beep favorable for pasture and consequently milk is scarce in most districts. Commission houses are quoting 21 to 22c per pound for choice creamery butter delivered in Winnipeg. BUTTER— Dairy—Butter making is still a slow process for want of milk and receipts of.dairy are \ery light. Commission houses are offcr- ng as high as 20c per pound for best qualities of fresh made butter in tubs, commission basis, and from that figure the market ranges down to l(jc for round lots.

Miss Djdley, operator at Klmberley visited Cranbrook this week*, While in Cranbrook several of her operator friends called on her. Miss Dudley «jys Creston looks good to her. and as a result an entire new school board bas been elected. It seems tbat a short time ago a family living near the school house had b case of diphtheria Dra. King and Green directed Mr. Sutherland, the principal, to close the school as a safeguard to the community, aud ibis was done, with no thought of offending anyone, J W. Kickers and Mr. Neiderstadt were the only two directors then living iu Moyie, aud Mr. Rickers was away Irom the city at the lime. When Mr. Kickers returned he became very indignant over the action of the priiiciij.il, aud swore lie would have his pedagogue scalp. As two directors constituted a majority, ond by their act could depose Mr. Sutherland, the citizens generally uiited upon a move to endorse his action. A meeting was called at which P. 1) Hope, tbe druggist, presided, and J. 11. Hawke officiated as secretary. The ieeling was intense and several speeches were made that were of the warm order, aud a resolution adopted setting forth that the resignation of both of tbe directors would be nccepiable. Last Satuiday was election day, and at .the meeting called for that purpose F. J. Smyth, of the Leader, was elected chairman, and J. H Hawke secretary. The resignations were on hand. Mr. Neiderstadt simply told the people that he was through, but Mr. Rickers could not drop it so easily aud he wrote the following: To the Board of Trustees and Supeiin- tendent of Education; On account of a mob meeting, promoted by A. W. Sutherland and others, for the purpose of intimidating the trustees in lhe discharge of their duties. For the above leason I hereby tender my resignation as school trustee. J. W. Rickers. A resolution condemning the language used was passed by a unanimous vote, and then H. H. Dimmock, John Blackburn and P. D. Hope were elected for tbe three, two and oue year terms respectively.

When an abscess forms in peril,ph.Itls lt is probable that lhe risk to life is at once raised to 3 per cent. Bull found tbe death rale in 67 cases of abscess which were not treated surgically to be 48 per cent. F.tz ln his analysis of 17G fatal cases found lhat the day of death was as follows: . Per cent.

London, Jane *tl. — 10 10 a. m —Tbe bulletin on the King's condition issued at Bickliigham Palace at 10 o'c'ocli this morning, say-: "Ills 11 ij :sty has slept well. The dressing ot the wcilnii gives mud! dlsire-.s, but tbere Is no baa .yraptoms of any klinl. (Signed) Treves, Lulling, D irlow." 3 22 p. m.—No further bulletins will be issued until 7 p. in. In the mean while it has been ascertained that the King maintains his progress and is again occupying bis invalid couch. The following bulletin was issued from Buckingham Palace at 7 p. m.: The King had a fairly comfortable day and the discomfort ln tbe wound has been less. (Signed) Treves, Liking, Birlow." London, June 30.—The noticeable excitement during tbe past we. k outside Buckingham Palace at tbe hours the bulletins were poited was entirely absent this morning. The sanguine lm pression created by the doctors' reports Saturday and Sunday was maintained oy tbe salient pbrase ia this morning's bulletin. "No bad smptoma of any kind." At noon the following official statement was given out at the palace: "There Is no cause for alarm in the distress caused by dressing the wound. This occurs at least mice dally. This wjuud, whlci is of considerable depth, is dressed Irom the bottom, as it Is essential that lt should heal from within outwards. The dreising causes His Majesty considerable pain, which he has borne with great fortitude. Ia fact His Maj-sty's courage and patience call for tbe greatest admiration. Tbe King was much benefitted by tbe change to the couch yesterday, 011 which he stayed for a few hours. The electric fans nave proved of great value lu keeping down lhe temperature of the apartment 1'ue Queen Is In constant attendance in the sick room, but the utmost quiet la enforced. The King occualoually sees uts chl.dreu, but the Interviews are -1 short duration. No mutters of state or business are allowed lu be submitted to tbe King, who Is also debarred from reading his correspondence. Neither Doctors Liking, Barlow nor Treves have left the palace Mi.ce the operatlou ex *ept for an occatioual hour." Tbe statement was Issued with the view of correcting the numerous unfounded stories published with circumstantial detail regarding wbat la alleg ed 10 transpire iu the sick room. The cheerfulness of the pub.lc is apparently fully shared by the members of the loyal family. Tie Prince of Wales went out riding this morning, and iu lhe afternoon the princess witnessed Irom tbe palace windows, with evident Interest, a march-past of the guards. The stock exchange reopened today with a very strong tone, on the satisfactory news regauling the Knj'j condition. Consols Did you ever hear of Sir Boyle Hoche? He was pe.haps the greatest maker of Irish Bulls that ever sat In the K.igll.-h House of Commons, He was the man who ;aUl In one of his speeches in tbe house. ' G.-ntlemen the cup of Ireland's bitterness is ovet'lowing, out lt is not yet full." Here Is a letter he wrote to a firm ln London during the rebellion in 1708. "My bear Sir:—Having now a little peace and quietness. I sit down to inform yuu of the dreadful bustle and confusion wc are in from these bloodthirsty rebels, most of whom are, however, thank God, killed and dispersed. "We are In a pretty mess—can get uothlng to eat or any wine to drink, except whiskey; and when we sit down to dinner we are obliged to keep both hands armed. Whilst I write this letter I hold a sword In one hand and a pistol in the otber. I concluded from the beginning that this would be the end of It, and I see I was right, for it is not half over yet. At present tbere are such gologs on that everything is at stand. "I should have answered your letter a fortnight ago, bul I only received it this morning. Indeed, hardly a mail rriives safe without beiug robbed. No longer ago than y-stcrilay tbe crash with ths mall from Dublin was robbed n*ar this town; the biigs had been judiciously left behind, for fear of ac cldents, and, by good luck, there was nobodv in the coach but two outside passenger*, wbo bad nothing for the thieves to tal e. List'Ihursday notice was given that a gang if reiels were advancing fclthtr, ut-der the French standard, bu they had no colors nor any drums, except bagpipes. Immed- iatediy every man ln the place, Including women anu boys, ran out to meet them. We soon found our f.,rce much too little, and they were far too near for us to tnink of retreating; death was in every fie ; bul tc it we went, and by the lime half our litte party was killed, we began to be all alive. Fortunately the rebels had no guns, but pistols, cutlasses and pikes; and as we had plenty of mu.kets and ammunition, we put tbem alt to the sword; not a soul of them escaped, except some that were drowned iu an aojolning bog, and tn a very short time nothing was to be heard but silence. Their uniforms were of different colors, but mostly green. After the action, we went to rummage a sort of camp they bad left behind Ihem; all we found was a few pikes without heads, a parcel of empty bottles full of water, and a bundle of blink French commissions, filled up with Irishmen's names. "Troops are now stationed every where round tbe country, which exactly squares with my Ideas. "1 bave only leisure to add that I am In gteat haste. "P. S.
