"The Kootenay Mail was published in Revelstoke, in the Columbia-Shuswap region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from April 1894 to December 1905. The Mail was published by the Revelstoke Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was J. Livingstone Haig. In 1906, the Mail merged with the Revelstoke Herald to form the Mail-Herald, a staunchly conservative paper that eventually folded due in part to competition from a more liberal competitor, the Revelstoke Review."@en .

This establishment at least was irreproachable. A reference lo \" Men ot\,the 'lime\" showed them that Admiral Hay Denver was a most distinguished officer, who had begun his active career at Bomarsuud, and had ended, it at Alexan- ' dria, having managed between these two episodes to see as much service' as any man of his years.

' Had tho unknown builder who erected and owned these new villas contented himself by sim-' ply building each within its own grounds, it is probable that these three small groups of people would have remained hardly conscious of ono another's, existence, and that there would have been no opportunity for that action aud reaction which is here set forth. But there was a common link ,to bind them togother. To single himself out from all other Norwood builders, the landlord had devised and laid out'a common lawn-tennis ground, which stretched behind the houses with lautstrctched net, green close-cropped sward, and widespread* whitewashed lines. Hither in search of that hard exercise which is as necessary as air or food to the English temperament; came young Hay\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 Denver when released from the toil of the city.

And especially to the admiral and the doctor were tnis closer intimacy and companionship of value. Each had avoid in his life, as\"every man must have who with unexhausted strength steps out of the great race, but each by his society might help to fill up that ot his neighbor. It is true that they had not much in common, bus that is sometimes an aid rather than a bar to friendship. Each 'had been an enthusiast in 'his profession, and had retained all bis interest in it. The doctor still read from cover to cover his Lancet and his Medical Journal, attended all professional gatherings, worked himself into'an alternate state oi exaltation and depression over the results of the election of officers, and reserved for himself a gden of his own, in which, before rows' of little round bottles -full of glycerine, Canadian balsam, and straining agents, he still, cut sections with a microtome and peeped through his long ihn=e eyes alone were to many more attractive than all the beauty of her youueer sister. Hers was a strong, quiet soul, \" and it was her firm hand which had taken over the duties of her mother, had ordered the house, restrained the servants, comforted her father and upheld her weaker fiister() from the day of that great misfortune. Ida Walker was a hand's breadth smaller than Clara, but was a little fuller iu tiie /ace and plumper iu the figure. She had lieht yellow hair, mischievous blue eyts with ihe light of humor ever twinkling in their depths, and a large, perfectly formed mouth, with tbat slight upward curve of the corners which goes with the keen appreciation of fun, suggesting even in repose that a latent sinile^is ever lurkingta. tho led'jes of the lips.

Such was the family at number two. A peep into the remaining villa and our introduction1) are complete. Admiral Hay Denver did not belong to the florid, while-haired, hearty school of sea-dogs which is,more common in works of ficliou than in the navy list'. On tlie contrary, he was the representative nof a much more common ,type,\" which is the antithesis of the conventional sailor. He was a thin, hard-featured man, withau ascetic, aquiline cast of face, grizzled and hollow-cheeked, clean-shaven, with the exception of the tiniest curved promontory of ash-colored whisker. , An ,, observer accustomed to classify men might have put him down as a cannon of the church with a taste for lay costume and a country life, or us the master of a large public school, who joined his scholars in their 'outdoor sports. His lips were firm, his chin prominent, he had a hard, dry eye, and his manner was precise and formal. 'Forty years of stern discipline'had made him reserved and silent. Yet, when at his ease with an equal, he could readily assume a less quarter-deck style, and he had a fund of little, dry stories of' the world and its ways which w'eie of interest from one'who .had seen as many phases of life. Dry and spare, so lean as a jockey and tough as whipcord, he might be seen any',day swinging his silver-headed Malacca cane, and pajmg along the suburban roads with the same measured gait with which' ho had been wont to tread the.poop of his, flagship. He wore a good.service strip upon his cheek, for on ono side it was pitted and scarred where a spurt of gravel knocked up by a round-allot had struck him thirty years before, when ho served in the Lancaster gun battery. Yet he was hale and Bound,' and though he was fifteen years senior' to his friend the doctor, he might ' passed as the younger man.

The series tells'the story of the murder of M.- Goull'e in Pans by Gabrielle' Bompard and her accomplice so well that memory' has few gaps to fill in it. The Bompard woman was very ' beautiful and Goulfo became enamored of her. He called upon her iu her room and declared his love. She toid .him to make his avowal on his knees. He did so. She sat, meanwhile,with her back close to the wall. As he knelt she'casually picked up a girdle, and, holding it 'cut toward him, said, playfully (in substance): \"if I thoughtyou, were not telling me the truth I would strangle you with this.\" He, in turn, jokingly told her to proceed. She, still smiling, dropped the girdle over his head, so that it hung around his neck. There the joke ended, for her accomplice held a rope which extended, through the wall'into the next room, and was attached to' the girdle. While Goufl'e was -still smiling at the woman he loved the assassin drew hiB rope taunt, and tlien, jirking the victim up against the wall, strangled him with 'the \"girdle.

Their history is/interesting. A series of mysterious burglaries occurred in London. The robbers never left anything behind except one of these wedges, which, while they were at work, they placed under the,, door of the room they operated iu. This secured them from intrusion long enough to give them an opportunity to escape through some exit which they took care to have always ready. The police were in despair. One night a man was arrested for drunkenness and upon his person^ one of these\" wedges was round. Joyfully they went to his lodging and found not' only another man, but(a laree numbsr of ,the wedges, together with the chair from which they had been cut. An extraordinary circumstance in connection with'this crime is the fact that with the wedges which were already in the hands of the police and those in tiie possession of the burglars the entire chair was reconstructed. Not one was missing. A most interesting case is devoted entirely to infernal machines found in London. , Some of them have Bimply been robbed, of their explosives and are in appearauce just as they'were when in the hands of the anarchists. A few having exploded, are represented only by packages of torn and twisted fragments. The moat ingenious of the former is made so that it exactly reaembles a large ciiunk of coal. That which was found in the house of the Duke of Bedford, is externally, merely a 'tin con. Two braBS bombs were found in a public place. One was ' unloaded and is now in the museum. The other was exploded in the bomb room at Woolwich Arsenal. ' It was surrounded by twelve dummies of human figures, and, after the explosion, each of these was found to have an average of thirty-seven fragments of brass in it. This illustrates the havoc that a very little anarchy may work. The only res.]ly amusing thing in the whole museum'is in. this case. It is a queer shaped affair with a curving neck, and was. found in frout of the house of a very exalted person. ' ' i- ' DISMAY. WAS GENERAL, for it was taken for granted that it was a bomb.

'They were not interfered'with until red-mouthed anarchists' began to secure control of them. Then the police were\"instructed to silence incendiary orators. This resulted in what were erroneously called the '-Free Speech Riots.\" The young man who went up there with the placard and locks and chains was one of the many who believed them, 'the .placard calls loudly for .honest British worsiugmen's right of free speech, and with the chains and padlocks he seourely fastened himself to,a stationary iron railing, (eo that the TIE HUNDRED CENTURIES' in my teens are now DR.

I waa a student first at Bristol iindiiflorwiu-d atSl, Bartholomew's and tho WcntmiiiHlor Hospital. Aa a rule I only worked in tlie winter, and so lost much valuable time. Since I have been in practice 1 have also found that cricket has interfered a great deal with my profession, but it cannot bo helped. \" It was not until 1870 that I took part in my first county match, having played for the first time for the Marylobono C. C. iu the previous year. Ou tho latter occasion Gloucestershire played and beat Surrey, my contribution to tho score being 25 and 26,iwith five wickets for 65 -iu the first innings, and four for 27 in the second. In the return imtcli I mado M3 aud took nino wickets for 35 runs. \" In those days the number of really great exponents of the gaino was comparatively small, and though the grounds allowed considerable improvement on those of the previous generation, they have tiuce acquired a far more coiMiH'out perfection. The bumpy and bad wickotd upou vriiich I were in 1867, when 1 took 39 wickets with an average of 6.21 ; 1874, when,I took 129 wickets with an average of 12 j 1875, when 1 took 192 wickets with auaveragoof )2,and,. 1S77, when I secured 179 wickets'with the flune average, Thobesi means of keeping tit are plenty of exercise and.f' modera-' tion in all things, Do not upend your , winters in idleness with walking around a billiard table as your only form of muscular exertion. In my youth I wag a runner aud jumper, and I find that I am credited with\" having covered th'o 1C0 yards, in 10 4-5 seconds, and high-jumped 5 feet. A man whoplays cricket and does nothing else is not likely to be a good cricketer. If he can't run he can ride, and if' he can't ride1 he can walk. Unless you are in sound training, however,stylishly you may bat at the nets, you are uot likely to make'many centuries iu the course ,of the season. \"This reminds me that my highest in-' uings was that sonred in 1S76 against twenty.two of Grimsby and District for a Uuited South eleven I made 400, not out, the total being 681, und was at the wickets until 4 o'clock\" ou ' tho third day.' When we arrived they grumbled because we had brought,a weak team. After tho match wus over they, kept their sentiments to themselves.
