Vol* 1.\nSANDON, British Columbia, Thursday, Nov. 8, 1906.\nSingle Copies 10c.\nPETITION FROM\nftnc Men Ask Tariff Commission For Protective\nZinc Tariff.\nThe Zlne Mines or the Slocan Will\nTake a New Lease oi Life if\nPetition Is Favored.\nA petition was drafted last Saturday\nliy tlie principal zinc mine owners in\nKootenay, and forwarded to Finance\nMinister Fielding, who is chairman of\nthe Tariff Commission, asking for immediate change in the tariff. We understand that the case presented by the\nzinc mine owners fairly represents their\nviews as to necesaary change in the\ntariff which will successfully establish\nthe zinc industry in this province. It\nwill be seen that the mine owners are at\nlust aroused to the fact that concerted\naction is necessary to place the zinc industry on a sound basis.\nThe following is the petition:\nHon. W. S. Fielding Minister of Finance,\nChairman ot 'tariff Commission,\nOttawa:\nSir,\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDYour memorialists, who are interested in the mining and smelting of\nzinc ores in the province of Britisli Columbia, have withheld their case for\ntariff changes, awaiting the report of\nthe special commission appointed to in*\nvesti^ate the zinc resources of. British\nColumbia, which has only at this moment come, into our hands.\nDuring tlie year which has elapsed\nsince the collection of the information\nembodied iu that report, conditions as\ntherein set forth have not materially\nchanged, certainly not for the belter.\nThe tariff ruling of the United States\nimposing a duty of 20 per cent on zinc\nore remains in force, and has been\nsomewhat unexpetcdly construed to include duty on the silver as well ai the\nzinc contents of the ore.\nThe Cana I Ian Metal Co.'a plant at\nFrank has produced a few tons of spelter, but is now idle an 1 required in addition to the sum of 1400,000 al-cady expended, a further sum of $100,000 for its\ncompletion.\nThe tendency of the s Ivor-lead mines\nto become zinc mines has become more\npronounced, but owing to the lack of\nmarket either at home or abroad, shipments have almost entirely ceased and\nsuch zinc ore as is necessarily produced\nin connection with lead mining is accumulating at the mines and concentrators.\nThe Frank p'ant has presently installed rive blocks of furnaces, of which\nat least three Mocks must be kept in\ncontinuous operation to secure any economically profitable result.\nThe total capacity of five blocks is\n5500 tons per annum and the chief problem which confronts the company is\nthat of li tiding a market for this quantity\nof spelter.\nThe Canadian market (vide zinc report, page 55) is good for over 8000 tons\nper annum, and is at present supplied\nlargely from United States sources, the\nzinc smelters of New York having a\nfreight rate of 25cts, and those in Illinois a freight rate of 30 cts. per 100 lbs.\nto eastern Canadian points as against a\nrate of 65 cents per 100 lbs. obtainable\nfrom Frank.\nThe principal uses of zinc ore are ai\na constituent of paints, also of brass to\nthe extent of 40 per cent, in sheets and\npipes, aud largely in the galvanic coating of iron and steel sheets, pipes and\nwire.\nThe Page-Herscy Iron, Tub* St. Lead\nCo., Ltd., of Ouelph, Ontario, is a large\nperhaps the principal importer of zinc\nin Canada.\nOutside of Canada the only available\nmarket is the European, to reach which\nwe must pay for freight charges a rate\nol 88 cents per 100 lbs., leaving, with\nspelter at the present high quotation of\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD27 per long ton, a nctt return of $4.95\nper 100 lbs.\nThis figure (vide zinc report, page 100)\ndocs not promise to afford any profit.\nUnfortuualely the prospect for improvement in price is not very favorable\nowing to the expected enormous production of the waste dumps of the Broken\nHill Mines, New South Wales.\nThe production of 5500 tons of spelter\nwill involve the shipment and treatment\nof 15,000 tons of concentrates, and this\nin turn would be produced from 75,000\ntons of raw ore and the fuel requirement\nof the smelter would amount to 40,000\ntons of coal, involving a turnover of\nover half a million dollars per annum\nnearly all of which would be spent in\nthe country for labor and supplies.\nIn aid of the efforts of those endeavoring lo create this new industry in Canada, we beg to request that your honor'\nable body will recommend to parliament\nsuch changes in the customs tariff as\nwill put zinc and its products on the\nsame basis as commodities of similar\nclasses.\nWe beg to submit, subject to such re\nvision as to details as your honorable\nbody may see fit to make, the accompanying schedule which we believe to\nbe substantially equitable:\nZinc and Products thereof*.

He shot a wild duck on\nthe Klondike flats, and subsequently it\nwas found that the birds craw was full\nof sand carrying twelve gold colors. The\nbird with others had been bought from\nLee by Colonel Williams, of the Bonanza basin dredge, and it was Colonel\nWilliams who discovered the gold.\nWhere the duck got the gold is a\nquestion. It is known there is gold on\nthe Klondike River bottom, but probably not so plentiful in any one known\nspot is to permit a duck to pan twelve\ncolors with one cropfull of sand.\nThe duck is a widgeon. It doubtless\nwas on the way south with other birds\nof paasage. Somewhere in the vast\nNorth, it appears, that the duck must\nhave fed on the golden sands which\nwould be a halcyon spot for the eager\nprospector. Colonel Williams thinks\nthat since the ducks craw can hold the\ngold so well that perhaps he bag there\nobtained the idea for a new gold saving\nmat that will beat the cocoa screen all\nhollow.\nIt is verv satisfactory to learn that\nthe zinc mine owners have at las* got\ndown to business. We have no hesitation in saying that the establishment of\nthe zinc industry in Kootenay will mean\nmuch for lhe whole of the province.\nIt will mean also that the zinc mines\naround Slocan will once again be employing large numbers of skilled miners\nand a prosperous era will ensue. To\nplace the industry on a sound basis, a\npetition has been forwarded to Finance\nMinister Fielding, chairman of the\nTariff commission, asking that certain\nchanges be effected in the tariff. The\npetition asks that galvanized barb wire,\nbrass blocks, wire, (galvanized) and\nspelter blocks, pigs sheets, etc., now\nadmitted free, be subject to a tariff of\n25 per cent; that the present tariff on\nzinc white, 5 per cent, be increased to\n30 per cent; that the tariff on galvanized\nplates, now 5 per cent, be increased to\n25 per cent; that the tariff on galvanized\ntubing, now 15 per cent, be increased to\n20 per cent, and that the 25 percent\ntariff on zinc man, of N. E. S. be increased to 85 per cent.\nPest-Office Destroyed, tut Malls and\nRecords Safe. Damage Is\nEstimated at $6,600.\nFire I Fire! Fire in the Post-office.\nThat was the startling cry which disturbed the worshippers of various denominations at their devotions on Sunday\nevening last at New Denver. In a few\nminutes all waa confusion. Pastors\nhurriedly pronounced benediction, and\ncrowds rushed to the Post-office to witness the ravages of the devouring element or lend what assistance they could.\nA few men were near the spot just after\nthe alarm was sounded, and salvage was\nimmediately proceeded with. In this\nthey were successful, as all the postal\nrecords and mails were saved, as were\nalso; the office fixtures, household furniture and safe. Scarcely had these\nbeen removed when the building was\nenveloped in flames.\nThe work of tbe fire brigade was not\nso fruitful as it deserved to be, by reason\nof inadequate hose, as tlie fire quickly\nspread, and in a few minutes the Williamson block with a mighty roar burst\ninto flames. It was seen that further\nattempts to save the building would be\nfutile, and all energy waa concentrated\non the adjoining buildings.\nAll the available hose was ere this\non the scene, and willing hands directed\ncopious streams upon adjacaut blocks.\nIt was feared that several other buildings\nwould go, but the untiring efforts of the\nbrigade, (coupled with the favorable\nrecent rains and absence of wind) were\nrewarded.\nThe loss is approximately $ 6,500, and\nit is partly covered by insurance.\nThere were two stores in the Williamson block, one was recently, occupied by\nCharles Rashdale, and the other by Mrs.\nWilliams as \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-dry a, m \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDsand millinery\nstore.

Cavanaugh, re the\nreduction in smelter charges to $10 per\nton, writes as follows to the ikily News:\n\" As you know I was one of the fighters lor better terms for our producers,\nwhile running the Sandon Mining Standard. A square up and up fighter must\nsink predjudices to the common good,\nand I wish to place before your readers\nsome facts that should allow a more extensive advertising of your resources in\nlead, and which should result in turning\nsome capital your way. You should\nadvertise the facts far and wide, giving\nyour plants and railways full credit.\nPlease note the copy of the contract\nin force in the Couer d'Alenes for lend\nore. This is accurate and Under its\nterms the producer in this region is receiving but little if any more, than what\nis received in British Columbia from\ntho native plants. In other words, the\nprice received for lead ore in British Columbia, is about Ihe same as Is received\nin the Couer d'Alenes, and this despite\nthe (act of high tariff and higher prices.\nTaking this contract as a basis, it is\neasily figured out, using the ore Mr.\nCavanaugh employed, viz..: 60 per cent\npb. 100 oz. ajr. When the question of\nfuel, power, timber, or* richnes, etc., is\nconsidered, British Columbia has away\nthe best ol it. Here they go in for systematic deep mining, That is putting\nthe country on its feet. If the same\nwero done in British Columbia, there\nwould be little doubt of success there\nalso. I want to add my bit of commendation for the reduction of smelter charges.\nAs to fair treatment, well you should\nhear the kicks here.\"\nThe contract referred to by Mr. Huston is too lengthy to publish in full, but\nit appears that the lead miners of Idaho\nare not getting the beat of the deal\nwith th* Smelting Ttust.\n\" Pa, how do they extract ore from\nthe mines?\" asked little Pearl.\n\" Well\" said old Pay Rent, \" sometimes if a mine needs developing, they\nbegin by extracting some coin from the\npockets of Eastern investors, or, in\nother words, tenderfoots.\"\nThe Denver Mining Record in a recent issue carries an illuminating article\non mine salting. The gist of it is that\nno competent mining engineer can be\nled astray by any of the current tricks,\nand that mine buyers should be sure\nthey have a man that measures up these\nrequirements, and have his report before taking over the mine. Theartiele\nalso condemns the practice of buying a\nmine and examining it afterward. The\nsame advice with added emphasis can\nalso be given so those investors who\nget their stock first and their infornia\ntion about its real worth later on.\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ..\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD*.... -,... j, j, *, ,*, A, AA J, A A,,-, ,i, A ft, *, ,t, A ,*\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD J\n<>\n.. \"Rotes an& Comment.\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD' ___^\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\n; ! * By JAY-JAY.\n\" .. i\nTTTTT*rTTTT*rTTTTTTTT\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDTTTTl\nWe have previously mentioned in the\nReview that we stand for the best inter-\nests of 8andon-first,last, and all the time,\nand nothing but the welfare of the\ncity is in our mind as we write the following remarks. We regret the necessity which makes it incumbent upon\nus to refute a statement which appeared\nin the editorial columns of the Nelson\nDaily News of the 6th inst., the full\nreport of which, for our readers' edification, we print below:\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD' BLACK EYE FOR SANDON.\nThe Kaslo Kootenaian publishes a\nsignificant statement from the president\nof the Minnesota Sliver Co., F. R. Ross,\nof Detroit, who recently visited Sandon\nto look over the Ivanhoe mine, one of\nthe properties'.owned by his company in\nthat camn.\nAsked by the Kootenaian what were\nthe prospects of resuming operations at\nthe Ivanhoe, Mr. Ross ia reported to\nhave replied:\n' No, we are not going to do anything\nat present. 21 may tell you, though, that\nI came up here with the intention of\nstarting up the Ivanhoe, on account of\nthe continued high prices for silver and\nlead, but I did not like the attitude predominant in labor circles at Sandon.\nThere has got to ba a change of feeling\nbefore much in the mining line will be\ndone up there. We intended puttiug 76\nor 80 men to work, bat on account of\ncertain conditions from th* cause mentioned, have decided otherwise. I am\nleaving for Detroit to-morrow, and expect to return again to Sandon next\nJune, If a change of feeling in labor\ncircles for a better understanding with\nmany managers takes place before|then,\nthere will be something doing nt Ihe\nIvanhoe, if not, the mine will remain\nclosed.*\nThe foregoing appeared in the Kootenaian of last week and lhe Dailv News\nhas since been at some pains to ascertain the grounds of Mr. Ross* strictures.\nWe learn that Mr. Rons' complaint is\nnot without foundation, but that his\ncriticism of Sandon labor circles is a\nlittle too sweeping. There does exist in\nSanpon an element apparently bent\nupon making trouble and preventing resumption of mining operations in that\ncamp on an extensive scale. This element, however, Joe* not inclnde the\nbulk of the union men, though for obvious reason] these men are loth to\nmake any public expression of their\nsentim nits. The chief fomentor ol\ntrouble is, we learn upon vety good\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDauthority, that thorough-going supporter of the McBride government and recent convert lo socialism, W. II. David-1\nton, M.P.P., who apparenty is more\nconcerned to fabricate some excuse for\nbis continued political existence than\nto serve thehest interests of the constituency be misrepresents in the local\nlegislature.\nThis is a somewhat bald statement of\nfacts, but there are times when it is\nbest to omit the trimmings.\nThe situation ii one that the miners,\nmine owners and business men of Sandon must face tquaielv. They must d \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\ndecide whether or not tbe prosperity of\nthe camp is lo be at the mercy of a few\nsoreheads. We believe a little plain\nspeaking at this juncture is the best\nservice that can be rendered the Sandon\nmining camp, and we have endeavored\nto say what we have to say on the subject in language that is perfectly dear\nand intelligible, however lacking It may\nbe in polish.\"\nWa do not think that the Kootenaian\nacted as diplomatically as it may have\nhave done, but we let that pass. We\ncannot, however, allow the reported\nstatement of Mr. Poss to go unchallenged and unrefuted. The interviewed gentleman may or may not have visited\nSandon for the purpose of putting 75\nor 80 men to work at the mine mentioned. If such were his intentions\nthere was nothing to prevent bin doing\nso. Mr. Poss did not make any endeavor whilst here to ascertain the true\nfeeling in labor circles first-handed.\nSuffice it to say that the labor trouble is\npurely imaginary and that there is not\nan idle man in town. Wo have good\ngrounds for stating that Mr. Poss' visit\nwas concerned more with the sale of the\ncompany's upper tram system to a local\ncompany who wanted it for their own\nproperty. This is en passant, but the\ndeal was made, nevertheless. If Mr.\nPoss had any notion of resuming mining\noperations, it is a most unbusinesslike\nproceeding to tear down the means of\ntransporting supplies up and the ore\ndown. We say we have our doubts as to\nhis reported intentions, and for another\nreason: All or any of the Ivanhoe workings are open for leasing, as also they\nhave been for the past twelve months.\nWe assert that there is nothing to prevent the Ivanhoe or any other property\nstarting up and putting as many men as\nthey desire to work. Some inconvenience has been experienced by the|man-\nagement of the Last Chance through a\nscarcity of labor on the one hand and\nthe result of experimenting with Chinese\nkitchen help on the other, but manager\nPratt informs us that lie is perfectly\nsatisfied with the big crew he has\nsecured from outside points aud that\neverything ia moving smoothly. In\nN\nother words the axiom \" A burden\nwhich one chooses is not felt\" is prac-\ndemonstrated to carry merit. Under\nany circumstances it would be a matter\nof impossibly to secure such a number\nof local miners as Mr. Poss is reported\nto have needed, and the example of\nother mine managers could have been\nemulated bad he seriously meant business. But to our muttons:\nTha Daily NewB goes on to say that it\n\" hns since been at some pains to ascertain the grounds of Mr. ' Ross' '\nstrictures.\" That is a lie, and the D.N.\nconvicts itself and proves its unreliability\nwhen it glaringly shows that it dies not\nknow the first thing about it. If the\nDaily News had \" been at some pains \"\nto secure reliable data, tho very first\nmove would have been to correctly name\nthe gentleman. Poss it is\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDnot \"Ross.\"\nNote tbe \"P\" and the number of times\nthe News prints Ross.\nThe IXiily News would have us believe\nthat it; is prompted by a mediatory\ninfluence for our welfare, but the whole\nfabric is so flimsy nnd transparent that\na more suckling could discern the\neditor's real and sinister purpose. It\nis painfully evident that it is a carefully\nconceived but clumsily arranged article\nin which editor Deane can give vent to\nhis splenetic venom upon the object of\nhis wrath, and opportunity taken to\ndrive in the political wedge. But his\nmethods are a menace to the prosperity\nof the Sandon camp. Mr. Deane may\nfollow up his rabid, lick-spittle, claptrap policy in his own little world just\nso long as he is suffered, but when he\nsmirches the fair name of Sandon\nby his malignant methods\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDhe taps an\nhornet's nest.\n\" This is a somewhat bald statement\nof facts,\" squawks the D.N. editor. We\nask the intelligent reader to analyse the\ndiatribe and digest tbe \" bald \" facts.\nWhat facts has he produced? None;\nabsolutely none! They are so bald\nthere is nothing to gra\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDp; so heaven\nalone knows the mythical depths of tlie\n\" trimmings.\"\nWe hold no brief for Mr. Davidson;\nneither do we expect him to do otherwise than treat tlie scurrilous article\nwith the contempt it doserves. By pos-\ni'ig as a doughty champion of the Silver\nCity, Mr. Deane makes himself vain-\ngloriously ridiculous, for it is too well\nknown he is more concerned in slinging\neditorial mud at everyone whose political\nviews antagonise his own. Therefore,\npolitical significance will always be\nattached to, and capital made out of\nanything which can be logically twisted\nby the political crank who pushes his\nleu for the edification of a few pinheads.\nThe knocker is a human rattlesnake\nwith the rattles off. He never lets you\nknow he is going to strike until he shoots\na bunch of venom into you, and then he\ncrawls off and lets the poison work.\nWe hold no bri f f >r tho -JMiners'\nUnion; we are not hide-bound to any\nparty or clique, and when any danger\nlooms on the horizon from labor or\nother sources, we may be depended on\nto sound tho alarm and report faithfully\nand unbiassed. We believe the small\ntrouble re the Chinese kitchen help will\nadjust itself, and there was no need for\nthe Daily Nelson to probe this minute\nsore and tear it into an ugly gash so\nthat it could appoint itself physician and\napply tho healing salve. The P,N. undoubtedly enjoys a large circulation, and\nwe deplore the fact that the knocking\narticle will be clipped and filed in the\noffice of many a financier to be trotted\nout to the disadvantage of this camp\nwhen opportunity presents itself.\nNow we have broached the subject, it\nmay be as well to discuss the purely\nlocal Chinese kitchen-help trouble. A\nfew of the mine managers have undoubtedly had cause to regret their experience in one or two instances with\n\" white \" cooks. It is a serious matter\nfor a mine manager to discover a big\ngang of his men waiting for breakfast\nand to learn that bin cook is down the\nhill on a drunken jamboree. Several\ninstances have occurred also in which\nthe \" white \" cook, brooding over some\nreal or fancied grievance, lias impulsively tore off his apron, rolled his\nblankets, and quit the job cold. Some\nof the mine managers argue that for this\nreason a C hinaman is preferred. He,\nthey claim, will not leave a body of men\nin the lurch and the manager in a\nserious predicament. \" John \" has always a brother or cousin handj who\nwill fill his shoes on short notice, and\nso Chinese kitchen help has been installed at one of Sandon's banner mines.\nWe believe this matter can be adjusted to the satisfaction of all if a little\ntact i$ displayed. It is not to be supposedfor ono moment that the Miners'\nUnion or any other body of men will\nendorse such actions of their cooks.\nWe believe the Miners' Union should\nbe in a position,\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD1st, to guarautee that\nthe cooks supplied are proficient, industrious and sober; 2nd, that all cooks\ncontract for a Btated period, and 3rd,\nthan adequate notice of quitting be\nhanded to the manager if the contract\nhas lapsed. The union could reasonably adopt such methods, as their\nmembers at the mino are directly and\ndistinctly the '.employers of the cooks.\nIt would be a satisfactory condition for\nboth mine manager and man, as the\nformer would be protected from an\narrogant, inexperienced \"hashsliuger,\"\nand the union would thus weed out\nthose undesirables who are a menace\nto its constitution and a disgrace to an\nhonorable profession. Under such a\ndesired order of things the Chinese cook\nwould be a relic of bygone days, and\na better cla*s of labor would predominate at the mines, for the reason that\ntho ban would be lifted.\nThere is no excuse for the employment of Chinese help to the exclusion\nof white labor other than the causes\nspecified. We can point with pride to\nthe fact that all the dividend-paying\nmines of the camp made the money for\nstockholders when there no Chinanen\nanywhere near tbe camp. It is not in\nour province to show how a boarding\nhouse should be conducted, but when\nthe famous Slocan Star inine was in the\nhey-day of its mining activity,excellent\nresults were obtained from the boarding\nhouse for the very good reason that they\nwere wise enough to contract it out.\nThere were no kicks. Everything went\nalong smoothly. The management\nattended to the more serious business\nof mining, and the caterer ran the commissariat. Tbe latter cleaned up at the\nend of his contract nearly 112,000, and\nthe management had received from the\ncaterer 20 cents per day per man as a\nbonus. The next caterer made the substantial sum of $10,000.\nThere is another point which weighs\nvery heavily with the men. In any\nestablished mining camp in the west a\nregular boarder at an hotel can, generally speak irg, fare like a prince. He\ncan dine in comfort amid pleasant surroundings, sleep in a clean, comfortable\nbed, and all for the average rate of $1.00\nper day. A miner ia taxed the same\namount for his board at the mine, but\nhoar different are the conditions ?

The prosperous and\ncoquettish village, composed principally of rich farms, nestled in the\nshadow of the chateau of the\nMarquis de Saint Pierre, an imposing mass, gray and somewhat somber, standing in the midst of magnili-\ncent gardens.\nThe church, though so small and\nsimple, was pure in form and graceful In poi-portlons; its portico even\nhad pretensions to the Gothic. But its\nchief beauty lay In Its adornment of\nIvy, which, little by little, had climbed\nover the whole edifice. Nowhere did\nthe Ivy seem more tenacious, more Insolent, more flourishing In Its prosperity than In this spot where thousands of birds nestled in its verdure,\nand where the church Itself resembled a vast nest, well protected and\nsheltered.\nThe cure would not have touched\nthis Ivy for anything in the world; he\nwas extremely proud of It and a ttach-\ned to It with a sort of superstition.\nThe Lord had undertaken the decoration of this humble village church,\nand the Lord knew what, he was doing.\nNo church In the neighborhood could\nboast of anything like it.\nOn the morning of the great day,\nthe good priest presided In person\nover the work of tlie sexton. A marriage such as this one was not an\neveryday occurrence, and he must, do\nhonor to it. Loads of plants and flowers had been sent from the chateau\nfor the decoration of the altars; and\nthe cure, with his soutane tucked up,\ndissatisfied with the sexton's tasle,\nwas distributing enormous bunches of\nflowers and tufts of verdure to the\nbest of his ability.\n\"What a pity Marthe could not\ndecorate the altar herself!\" he said,\nregretfully. \"Women\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthough so inferior In many things\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDhave a veritable genius for arranging flowers.\"\nThis speech of unquestionable ecclesiastical gallantry was addressed\nto no one in particular, but rather expressed the embarrassment of the\npriest, who did not feel equal to the\noccasion. It was, however, overheard\nby Dame Franeolse, his somewhat\ntyrannical housekeeper, who looked\ndown on her master with a Bhade of\ndisdain.\n\"Bah! Monsieur le Cure,\" she said,\nseverely. \"The women you love to\nput back in their place, as you say,\ncan take care of themselves. And\nwhere would you be yourself, I would\nlike to know, if some one did not take\ncare of you?\"\n\"I did not mean to offend you, my\ngood Franeolse,\" he apologized. \"I\nwas speaking to myself. Tl-ose flowers don't seem well arranged somehow or other, what do you think of\nthem?\"\n\"I say they will do well enough for\nthe little attention they will attract.\nBesides, I have a vague presentiment\nthat this fine marriage will not take\nplace.\"\nThe priest trembled nervously and\nstumbled down the. altar steps.\n\"You have heard something, Franeolse?\" he asked, tremulously. \"Is\nthere anything new?\"\n\"I don't know just what there is,\nbut I am sure there Is something. The\nbaker has just returned from Villerville, and says tho whole village is\naroused; that on the beach nothing is\nspoken of but\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDyou know what.\"\n\"I was In hopes that those abominable calumnies had died out since a\nfew weeks. To think that we are\npowerless to stop those rumors that\nfloat In the air, as powerless as we\nare to stop the wind itself!\"\n\"It is very queer that they suspect\nnothing at the chateau,\" muttered\nFraneoise. \"If I were in your place,\nMonsieur\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\"\n\"You would cast gloom and sorrow\nIn the midst of their joy. No, I am\nsure those rumors will die out as they\ncame. Why grieve innocent people?\nThey feel that they are surrounded by\nsome secret enmity, but do not guess\nthe cause. Mme. Despois alone seems\nto know, and she is silent. I will be\nlikewise.\"\nBut the good man was anxious and\nill-at-ease. He walked nervously to\nand fro, consulted the sky, a somewhat\nobscure sky, with a few patches of\nblue hore and there, the calm sky of\na September morning. He glanced Inward the village, which seemed almost asleep, the peasants having\nmostly gone to the fields. Nothing, absolutely nothing yet.\nThen he tried to cnlleet his uneasy\nthoughts. The sermon he had prepared\nbeforehand only half pleased him.\nAnd he, also, like Marthe over there\nat Ihe chateau, helping to dross lhe\nbride wilh her artistic hands, repealed lo himself: \"if only everything\npasses well! How I wish it were all\nover!\"\nEleven was striking in the old\nsteeple; the sun, piercing through the\nautumnal fog. shone brightly on the\nnuptial cortege that stopped at the\nchurch door with rare punctuality.\nThe village no longer slept; th\" peas-\nrtnts had returned from the fields, the\nwomen and children Jostled each other,\nend the old people stood on their\nFREE\nMade in Canada and Sold by all\nDruggists\nThis coupon Is good for one ter\ncent (los.)

At that moment she understood, or rather suspected, that\nthese people aeeused Robert of an\nnbominable crime bv which he had\nwon Edmee from a detested rival.\nThis she saw in the malignant glances of the envious peasants.\n\"Look, Marthe, how the people love\nus!\" exclaimed Mme. d'Ancel, who\nwas not of an observing nature; \"our\nfamilies have relieved so much misery!\"\nThis new anxiety had its good effect, however. For weeks Marthe had\nbeen asking herself how she would\ncontrol her feelings at the supreme\nmoment. By the light of her passion,\nshe had discovered bidden recesses of\nher nature, capacities of violent, ferocious jealousies, of hatred almost, that\nfrightened and humiliated her. She\nfelt like an abominable hypoA'ile\nwhen her friends lauded her devotion,\nher kindness, her generosity, her absolute forgetfulness of self. Her affection for Edmee, which still survived,\nhad gone through moments of rebellion, almost of avergjpn, as on that\nmemorable Thursday, while the storm\nwas gathering, the scorching atmosphere had been suddenly shaken by\nan icy brealh. Apd sometimes her passion for Robert terribly resembled\nhatred. All this, however, she had\nsucceeded in hiding under a sort of\ncold apathy. Would she succeed In\nhiding It until the end?\nBut now she was thinking more of\nthe curious hostility of the peasants\nthan of her personal agony. It seemed\nto her that she was still called upon\nto protect, to prove her courage and\nfirmness. She had never been deaf to\nthat cry, and would respond to It now.\nHer true nobility of nature had taken\nlhe ascendancy and would henceforth\nretain it.\nEdmee was by no means a pale,\ntimid, trembling bride. She was radiant with happiness, and this happiness\ngave extraordinary eclat to her\nbeauty. The Marquis, with head erect,\nadvanced to offer her his arm, and\nturned for an Instant, before entering\nthe church, to cast a haughty glance\nat tho surging crowd. The crowd now\nappeared leas hostile. Beauty Is a\nsovereign before which all bow as If\nby instinct, and never had these peasants seen a creature as marvelously\nbeautiful as this blonde bride with\ndark eyes, who smiled so radiantly at\n(he life that opened before her. This\nvision had more influence than the\nMarquis' haughty glance.\nThe ceremony was short and very\nsimple; the few words pronounced by\nthe good cure came from the heart\nand went straight to the heart. All\nthose who had succeeded in entering\nthe church were softened. Martha saw\nor rather felt It. From the moment she\nhad left home to the eud of the mass,\nshe had feared she knew not what, hut\nhad feared, she knew not what, but\nsomething vague, menacing, something that had long been impending,\nthat she had seen for the first time\nthat morning.\nBut a few hours more and Robert\nand his bride would be far from these\nvile gossips' infamous accusations,\nwhich for want of ailment would die\nout and be forgotten. The desire to\nsee Robert, in safety, out of reach, was\nso strong wilhin her that she almost\nforgot her pain; she forgot that this\nmarriage was being consummated under her eyes, that Robert and Edmee\nwere exchanging vows that made them\nhusband and wife, words that united\nthem for life, until death, and she\nsuffered much less than she had often\nsuffered at the exchange of a glance\nbetween them, or a too prolonged pressure of their hands.\nLeaning on her husband's arm, Edmee came out of the church radiant\nas joy itself, smiling on everybody,\nbowing right and left like a little\nqueen, and the faces that turned toward her had lost their sneering, evil\nexpression. A mother, holding a pretty\nchild In her arms, rubbed against the\nrich satin dress. Edmee turned and\nthe baby smiled at her, stretching out\nhis little arms.\n\"You pretty baby!' exclaimed the\nbride, \"I must kiss you. You will bring\nme luck!\"\nA murmur of approval greeted this\ngracious caress which won her all the\nmothers' hearts. The return to the\nchateau was affected without the display of the least feeling of hostility,\nand In the midst of the gay.laughter\nand bantering of tbe young people.\nMarthe breathed more freely. It\ndoemed to her that the battle was\nwon.\nTh vast dining-room. In which the\nformer proprietors had received their\nsovereigns, and which was now rarely\nused, had been opened and decorated\nfor the occasion. In the centre stood\nan enormous table resplendent with\nrare old plate, crystals and flowers.\nAnd yet, neither the dazzling decorations, the brilliant toilets of the women, nor even the two bright fires In\nthe vast chimney places, succeeded In\nremoving the gloom. A little of the\nhumidity and obscurity of the old unused rooms produced a vague impression of sadness, and the laughter of\nthe young girls echoed strangely In\nthe Immensity of this gloomy room.\nNevertheless the breakfast dragged\non,\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDand Marthe, as hostess, was\nforced to smile and do the honors;\nand, as the time passed on, her torture became unendurable. The bride\nand groom, seated side by side, often\nexchanged whispered words. Edmee,\na little paler than usual, smiled and\nseemed perfectly happy, while Robert\nsaw and heard no one but her.\nFinally the guests departed; farewells and good wishes filled the drawing-rooms with almost dizzying noise;\nEdmee disappeared to change her\nsatin dress for a traveling costume;\nIn another quarter of an hour all\nwould be over.\nMarthe was taking leave of the\nMarquis, thanking him once more with\neffusion. As he was about to enter his\ncarriage, he looked at her and Bald,\nconcernedly:\n\"Promise to take care of yourself,\nmy dear child, to rest, for you have\nneed of It.\"\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDreB\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDi ean rest\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDnew\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\" she mur-\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDmurod. with such a sad smile that the\nitlnd-hea<*ted old man drew her suddenly toward him and kissed her on both\ncheeks. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD . \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD .*J\n\"You know, my little friend, he\nsaid gravely, \"that If you ever need\nme, I am, and always will be, at your\nHprvtcv \"\nMarthe thanked him with an Inclination of the head, not daring to\nsp-ak for fear of betraying herself.\nMme, d'Ancel and Aunt Relie now\nalone remained In the drawing-room.\nMartha was hastenln<- awn* for a few\nmoments' respite before the departure of the bridal eouple, when a servant announced that a gentleman\nwished to see Monsieur le baron d'Ancel.\n\"You will find him in the blue room\nwhere I had his trunk placed,\" she\nsaid.\nThen, thinking it must be a friend\nof Robert's who had come late for the\nmarriage and was bringing his congratulations, she went loward the little parlor into which he had been\nshown. As she passed through the hall\nRobert appeared at the top of tho\nstairway.\n\"My brother-in-law will he here in\na moment -\" Bhe began.\nSomething in the altitude of the\nyoung man who bowed respectfully\nbefore her struck Marthe strangely.\nWithout knowing why, she felt frightened.
