B? LAWRENCE C. LTXCH. (CONTINUED.) Constance had loved Sybil Lainotte as a sister; she thought and sorrowed not a little over the strange freak Fate had played with her friend's life, and she .wondered often if Doctor Heath had really lost all regard for her; she knew, as -what-woman does not, that a -warm ''regard had once existed; and she assured herself that whether he had or not, was a matter of no consequence to hex*. \"She had not the slightest ^iiiterest in Doctor Heath,\" so she told Mrs. Aliston, and, like him, she never sought nor avoided a meeting. It is singular, however, that a man who possessed for her \"not the slightest interest\" should so often present himself . to heir thoughts, and certain it is that at this period of our story, her mind had a most provoking habit of running away from a variety of subjects straight' to Clifford Heath, M. D. But women at best are strange creatures, and subject to singular phenomena. Mrs. Aliston just here experienced , some dissatisfaction; Clifford Heath was with 'her a favorite; Francis Lamotte was her pet hatred. To see the favorite made conspicuous by his absence, and have his name, like that of a disinherited daughter, tabooed from the family converse, while the obnoxious Francis, because of his provokingly good behavior, made rapid strides into the good graces of the .queen of the castle, would have exasperated most good, maneuvering old ladies, \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 but Mrs. Aliston maneuvered ' principally for her own comfort, so she sighed a little, regretted the present state of affairs in a resigned and becoming manner, ceased to mention the name of Doctor Heath-, and condescended to receive Francis graciously, after that young - man. had made a .special call, during which he saw only Mrs. Aliston, and apologized amply and most humbly for rhis unceremonious ejectment of that lady in fa.vor of Constance, on the day when the former undertook, \"as gently a9 possible, '' to_ break to him the news of his sister's fight. To make an apology gracefully \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 is in itself, an art; and this art Francis Lamotte was skilled in; indeed but for a - certain physical weakness, he. would have been-an ornament,to the diplomatic service. Alas, that there must always be a \"but\" in the way of our moral complete- '\"ness, our physical perfection and our . life's success. Days and weeks passed on, and the household of Wardour remained in utmost' quiet; that at Mapleton, shrouded in gloom and sorrowful seclusion.-, Mrs. Lamotte saw no one.

She seemed to hear anew Evan's words: .\"Do your part,'I will do mine. I, Evan Lamotte, worthless, black sheep, sot; 1 will find a; reason that will not be questioned, and that will spare Sybil.\" And he had found a reason. The black sheep wns offered up a sacrifice.

Henceforth he woula appear in the eyes of the people doubly blackened, doubly degraded, the destroyer of hin sister's .happiness, the blight upon her life, and yet, he Avas innocent of this; he was a martyr; he the ne'er-do-well, the inebriate. Constance was strangely moved by this self-sacrifice, coming from one who was so morally weak; if it had been Frank, but here her lip curled contemptuously; instinctively she knew that^such self-sacrifice was not in Frank's nature, any more than was such self-abandonment to weakness. Constance began to wonder if Frank' and his parents knew she truth. If they had permitted the weakest shoulders to bear the burden; or, if Evan had deceived them too, and then she murmured, almost in the language of the tramp detective:\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 \"It's a thing for time to unravel.

It was many days before she saw Evan, for, although in true woman fashion, she longed to scold him first for so sacrificing himself, and praise him after for liis generous true heartbdness, she knew that lie would only be distressed by such an interview, and would obey a summons from her reluctantly if at all. But. one day, just as'she was1 driving hor ponies Out through the gates of Wardour Place, she saw a horseman riding furiously up tlie road, and a nearer view revealed Frank Lamotte's fine horse and mounted by Evan. His oyes wore flaming with excitement, and there was a burning spot of red on cither cheek as he reined up his horse beside her, and Constance saw at a glance that, again, he was perfectly sober. . \"Conny,\" he cried breathlessly, \"it has come.\" ; _\"What has come,1 Evan?\" '''The day we hoped for; wo have heard from Sybil.'\"' \"A letter!

Dr, Walkem, M.P.P., declaied in the House that he stood where he did last winter, an Independent, when Mr. C. F Colton, M.P.P., of Vancouver enquired '- if he was quite sure. This was a little i strange, considering the senior member of Vancouver's position was such at that tww that his party friends insisted on a wniun pledge that ht would not desert them. Wi notice some papers attack the United States because a few papers there attribute the terrible tragedy of the Maine to the Spanish. It is true the cause of the disaster is not kuown. But these fiery journals no more represent thit country than does the Weekly Province, British Columbia. The U. S. government is making a rig_ id investigation into the cause of the disaster. If it shall appear to be the work of an enerry, Spain will be held to accountability, and such demands made upon her, that in the present temper of her people, she may not be able to meei. Then war will follow. The U. S. gov eminent is already taking active steps for such an emergency. It is to be hoped the disaster will be found to be ef accidental origin.

Every British Columbian may justly feel proud of them and also a sense of proprietorship. .It's all Klondike in Victoria. The opening of parliament, was but a passing show. Everybody looked at it and then turned to the more profitable business of trade.

With ifc we may expect a good growth, an early maturity, a good egg yield.and a fine carcass; without it we cannot depend upon any of these results with certainty. Health and prime condition go hand in hand, and both mean the best results obtainable in poultry. The healthy hen is the egg type,and the showroom specimen. Condition should be the first consideration. Where can be found a healthier, stronger and more reliable breed than the Barred Plymouth Bocks? Glimatic conditions do not affect them. They are bred in .all sections of our country. -They are alike indifferent than a vvell fatted, three'pound Leghorn cockerel. ... , To conclude, therefore, we may consider that \"the great business team of all the ' breeds'' is the Plymouth Rock and the Leghorn. * *.
