The country looked to till Minister.; alone; and tlie Houu did perfectly right in placing the Minister., more particularly the first JCini.tnr, on trial for raiileading, groidj deceiving the Legislature and Um* people anil invol.iijg tho Provindi in ruinous upenditum. If they had not done so, the people would have proved themselves utterly unfit for self-government—incapable of Uf-preserva- tion. But we are told by his paid organs that "Moses am atlswitted of de 'ainuation." Well, aft#r a faahion "D^Rtr,,***. -JWao^m «ik«iu.| he.,. mthi mantteVofffae'rloY.sly "De Rev.

The Walkem administration can hardly be said to have fared as well as "De Rer. Moses Bletlso." An attempt waa made by the accused ministers and their pals to prove that it was Bennett who "stole tie pork," but Bennett hadn't "Moses' cloze" on ! The attempt was cowardly, and altogether at variance with the spirit and genus of respnn sible government. Let the iwder just ivflect for a moment how such u principle, if admitted, would work Under our system of government til. ministers are responsible to the people—individnally.for tlio management of their respective depart ments, collectively, for tit. administration of affairs generally. Tlie Governor, like the Queen, whose representative he is, "can do wrong." The ministers are alone responsible to the people, und hence the designation, "Responsible Government." And of till ministers, tin Premier is the most fully and directly responsible—being in a sense, and a very important sense—responsible for his colleagues, as well as on his own behalf. Weii, just itnagi this responsible minister, the most responsib'e of all the miniates, coming before Parliament and attempting to throw, not upon his colleagues, but upon one of his subordinates, the responsibility and blame of gross mul-administration of his own di partnietit iu matters involving linn- dreils of thousands of dollars of tho people's money—blunders threatening to involve the Province in enormous losses ! But Bennett hadn't ' "Moses' cloze" on. He hadn't even the standing of a subordinate. Ac l cording to the evidence, more especially that of the Hon. Ml'. Trutch, Bennett had ceased to be the em- G ploye of the English engineering i firm who sent him out, and had in 1 reality and in law never become the - employe of tbe Provincial Govern- I went. He was, iu fact, a mere ||, "loose-fish," so to speak, responsible k to nobody and in the employ of no- I' body—yet, strangely enough, draw- i ing a fat salary from the provincial ''. treasury in violation of all conatitn- J tioual law and usage, And yet this ft is the person upon whom the minis- I, ter, tlie first minister, sought to 'throw the responsibility and the ' blame of, not' one act, but a long l';aeries of acts constituting almost the || policy of the Government and in i volving the expenditure, the mis ex i. pniiditurt, of probably fully half a | million of the people's money ! A J more dangerous, a more monstrous idoctrine it would be difficult to conceive. Once admit the principle of vicarious responsibility—the light of a minister to shift the responsibility for his official acts upon a subordinate, and not only does the whole fabric of our boasted Responsible Government crumble to dust, hut with it goes all'clinck, all safety anil itecurity for tha people.

The accused succeeded with the aid uf the police iii keeping his followers together and having two drunken members tn at the division, and even then he had to rely upon the casting vote of the Speaker who is his own creature ; but that in no way affects the merits of the case, The evidence still remains tlie same.

The fact remains that the excessive cost of the dock is" chiefly attributable to the mismanagement, if not something worse, of the Minister. The fact, the damning fact remains that one of Mr. Walkem's very first official acts— crimes—on returning to power, in 1878, was to peremptorily break off negotiations with the Imperial Government— negotiations which would certainly have resulted in the dock being assumed, completely taken off tho hands of the Province, and completed and maintained at Imperial expense I The fact also remains that, later on, he rejected the offer of the Dominion Government to take the work off their hands and complete and maintain it at tho joint expense of Canada and England—his sole aim and object being to keep it in hia own hands for selfish political purposes.

Tbree More Guns I 'Elsewhere will be found tlio text of the Tolnminotii telegruui sent from Ottawa by Mr. DeCosmos—or, to be more accurate, audi portions thereof as it auittd tbe purposes of Ministers to submit to the House. What right these noted gnrblers have to treat public documents in this fashion we cannot understand, any more than we can conceive their motive for so mutilating the present one. The first part of the telegram would, appear to indicate the intention of tht Dominion Government lo dissolve Parliament And go to the country next summer; but surely it could never have been intended that ii. ahould be made public at this time through such a channel, The distinct denial of Sir John Macdonald that any obligation to build the Island railway rests upon the Dominion Government, taken together with his emphatic repudiation of Lord Kimbertey's basis of settlement, constitute cumulative evidence of tbe utter failure of the mission to England, and should, one might suppose, put a final stop to the silly haveringa of the organs. But they prove also that our "speciul agent" at Ottawa ia importuning and pestering the Canadian Premier about carrying the C. P. Railway across the gulf and down to Esqnimalt, and that ho is thereby doing harm instead of good. He purposed writing two mora letters to Sir John. Poor Sir John —or, rather, poor Columbia. But there is to he another appeal to England/ "The rights of the Province "should be maintained at all hazards, "and the Imperial Government "ahould be asked to promptly settle "and conclude the Island Railway "question, with compenstaion for "delays in construction of Pacific "Railway,"—which, being interpreted, means that the "nation-maker" wants another trip across the Atlantic at the expense of tho tax-payers of this Province I "The rights of the Province," indeed 1 The proposition to go to England now and ask the Imperial Government "to promptly settle and conclude the Island Railway question" is simply impertinent nonsense. Why the man has just returned from there, and he announces the fneb that Sir John Macdonald repudiates Lord Kimlierley's basis of settlement; and yet, in the same telegram ho actually proposes another appeal to England! The man must be mad; or else he must think the people of British Columbia are idiots ! The Imperial Government never was in a position to r1 more than make suggestions, fritnu.j recommendations to the Dominion Government in this matter, and to go hnck to London and ask Lord Kimberley to "promptly settle and conclude" the vexed question when Sir John has just repudiated his recommendations undo so very recently, would partake of something worse than folly. Will Walkem and his ten obedient tools dure te send DeCosmos back to London on such and errand 1 But then "The rights of the Province should be maintained at all hazards"; nnd these rights are "A ferry across the gulf and Esqnimalt the ocean terminus of the Cananian Pacific Railway." Two more letters. Another trip to London. "Three more guns! She must be very drunk," wrote Horace Walpole, who was interrupted at frequent intervals by n wild she neighbor's firing out at her window, by way of scaring imaginary conspirators. People do not get drunk now; but'when imaginary conspirators are about some people fire off wonderful guns, Janus. The always consistent and logical local organ describes the graving dock as a costly "gow-gaw," and speaks about "these Island people brutally displaying to tho gaze of the much-wronged mainland tax-payers, tht extent, to which they are to be burdened for a work that will never pay the cost of maintenance, to please Island greed, and which will never be worth a cent to the people of the mainland," and then it predicts that "the period is not far distant when tht mainland will be arbiter, and theat aelfiih tricks of the Islanders will not be forgotten." It speaks of "tlio unfortunate, much- fleeced tax-payers of tlie mainland, the people who were hoodwinked into accepting the dry dock scheme;" and yet, after all this, it actually turns round and denounces the vory men who have taken a stand against this ruinous dock fraud! "If at the present time," it says, "blame can be attached to anyone, it should be to the Opposition in causing needless expense and inconvenience to the public." One would have thought that tlie tricksters who "hoodwinked" the people into accepting the dock scheme under false pretenses ntid who have so shamefully misled tho Legislature nnd mismanaged the affair ever since would at least have couic iu for u share of the blame. But no. It is those who aro trying to stop this terrible dock leak that must bear tho blame. And what is there in the facts of the case to jus tify such an attack upon "these Island people"! Of the twelve Island members, are there not five who, rising above all sectional jealousies, have joined the mainland seven in an attempt to put a stop to this ruinous and fraudulent outrage? And of the thirteen mainland members, are there not seven who are assist ing "these Island people" in "squeezing us in order to pay for this gewgaw of a graving dock"? And nre not the ministers whose subsidized organ our local contemporary is, the very ringleaders who are hurrying the country on to ruin 1 Out upon such drivelling inconsistency—such hypocritical rot I — shedding crocodile tears for the poor robbed tax-payers with one eye, und with the other winking approvingly to the robbers ! Editorial Notes. That the act of President Arthur in vetoing the anti-Chinese Bill, passed by such an overwhelming majority of the people's representatives, will have evoked a storm nf indignation in the Pacific States aud Territories—mora especially in San Francisco—would naturally be expected. What particular form popular indignation will take it would be idle to predict, but it is impossible to believe that those communities most directly interested will accept the situation and quietly submit, after having so nobly fought and won. It is not impossible that an attempt may be made to deal with the Asiatic invader in a manner not recognised by tho constitution. Walkem's constitutional birds appear to bo coming homo to roost. The question of the constitutionality of his own cabinet has been raised in the Supremo Court. Section 3 uf the Constitution Act provides that "the Executive Council of British Columbia shall be composed of such persons as the governor from time to time thinks fit, not exceeding five, nnd in the first instance shall include the following ofiicors, namely: The colonial secretary, the attorney general and the chief commissioner of lands and works." From an inordinate greed of power and patronage, Mr. Walkem monopolised the attorney generalship and chief commisiionership, throwing the empty husks to his colleagues. Tho forensic accumen of Mr. Theodore Davie has discovered that Mr. Walkem does not "till the bill"—that, although he does (nominally) fill two offices, he cannot be two officers. The judges appear inclined to take the same view. Hero will, indeed, be a "pretty kettle of fish!" All that has been done by that most lovely combination of statesmen (!) will have been illegally done! ! When shall the end be ? Tho City Council met on Wednesday evening, and (inter alia) passed a resolution surrendering the Letters Patent and asking for the issue of new letters. The wisdom of this course seems to he open to question. In the first place it is not quite certain that, in this instance, ground for the issue of new letters exists. Section 49 of the Act provides for the surrender of letters patent and the re-issue, "Whenever it "shall be mado to appear te the sutis- "faction of the Lieutenant-Governor "that any irregularity has occurred in "the conduct of any municipal election and that by reason of such "irregularity any reasonable deubfc "exists as to the legality of the constitution of the said corporation"; hut it is doubtful whether these conditions, or any of them, exist in the present case, und it is therefore doubtful whether the surrender nf tho letters patent will be accepted. Such a case as that presented by this city could hardly have been contemplated by the lawmakers. It is one of the "unprovided cases.-1 Jonah refused to leave the ship, and tho crew resolved to scuttle her. It is a humiliating reflection that this community, after some twenty yours of municipal experience, should present such a sorry picture as it does to-day. Instead of being a model for rural municipalities to copy, it has become the laughingstock of its neighbors; and at a time when it is especially important that the affairs of the city should be well and vigorously administered, there is utter demoralization.

Councillor Boyd having given Councillors Shears the lie direct at tlie previous sitting, was called upon to retract.

Why cannot municipal bodies conduct tliaiiMslvis with inoduration and dignity—like our Legislature, for instance j -^..—-—i FlatTbhino.—In noticing the sacred concert which took place last Tuesday evening in thu Methodist church, Victoria, the Colonist pays tins very decided ctmiplimtmt to the two musicians from New Westminster District who took part:—"Tiie organ solo, Marche anx Flambeaux, * * * was charmingly executed l>y the ex-organist.of the church, .Mrs. McGillivray, of Suuius, and in response to au encore the lust strain of tho solo was repeated." * * * "The feature of the first part of the pro- gramme A'aa Mrs. D.

Thu people of New Weaiiiiinstur may well be proud of such an accomplished vocalist. Indeed hut few justly desig tinted queens of mug excel Mrs. D.

Aa the lust s-.ft notes died away thuuder-t of applause rose from all parts of the sacred edifice and continued till the fair songstress was aguiu iu front of the audience. She then very kindly favored it with 'Guide me, 0, Guide ine,' in an equally charming and faultless style." Newspaper Success. And yet another,—until there are now tive steam presses at work iu the Colonist establishment! How is it that, while tho Colonist and the Columrian are expanding their establishments and rolling up their subscription lists, and "boomintf" in the job departments, the two Government organs are as stagnant an a moss-covered frog-, pond? The explanation is simple enougli. While the former are lauding forward public opinion in the struggle for progressive and pure government, the latter are "trying to make water run updiiU''— endeavoring to turn back the hands upon the dial-plate of progressive liberty. The people understand and appreciate this important difference, and hence the steam presses and the ever increasing subscription lists, and tho "boom." Canada Iii England. The Dominion of Canada would appear to be ably represented in the Mother Country by Sir A. T, Gait. At the meeting at Willis' rooms, presided over by H. R. H. the Prince of Wales, in seconding Lord Kimberley'a resolution expressing the desirability of securing the co-operation of the colonies in the proposed fishery exposition, Mr. Gait delivered an able speech. Going back three or four hundred years in the history of Great Britain, he showed how much the nation owed her hardy fltherinen, who hud io largely contributed to the naval strength of the nation. He referred to the four thousand miles of sea coast possessed by Canada- the largest of any nation in the world—and said that she, too, looked to hor fishermen as tho nucleus, the genu of future maritime power. Already the tiah of Canada and Newfmuitlliuirl represented an annual money value of upwards of tive millions aterling a year, and gave employment to U0,000 men and boys. He waa loudly cheered whon ho reminded his distinguished audience of the fact that, although the population uf the United States is ten times that of Canada, yet the shipping of thu latter is now about equal to that of the former. Virtually Defunct. In tho Legislature, on Tuesday, Dr. Ash moved for correspondence relative to the §42,000 claim of Reed Brothers iu Connection with the dock. The Ministers opposed, protested, pleaded, but finally had to yield to an Opposition morally, if not numerically, stronger than the Government and its following. The Government further exhibited its conscious weakness by again postponing, without any other reason than cowardice, the two orders of the day—"Supply1' and "Ways and Means." Seeing that they have lost control of the House and power to go on with the public business, the only proper, manly course for ministers is to resign. As Sir John Macdonald would express it, "There usefulness is gone," and the sooner they get out of the way the better for the interests of the country. "Their usefidness" indeed! Let it rather be hoped that their hannfulneas "is gone"—uieful they never were. Sinoe writing the above we learn that McGilHvray's old trainer has succeeded in bringing him over to the Government aide! _ Ride Match. The rifle match—married vs. single —came off yesterday, and resulted in a victory for the bachelors, much to the astonishment of the benedicts. Considering thst it was the tint shooting of the iiason, the average scores were not bad. Although the weather might have been better, it wai not altogether unfavorable. The match was fired at 200, 400, and 600 yards— 5 shots nt each range. Following are the scores: MARRIED. Jackson 50 Peele 60 Keary 45 Lehman 39 Trew 39 MoNaughtun 33 250 SINGLE. Kennedy 00 McColl 50 Scoullar 43 Reid 42 Trapp 41 Wilson 27 259 ^dlua^r The public are aware that for some time the Provincial Ministry have only held ollice by the Speaker's casting vote. By means of corrupt promises and the police force they had, up till Thursday last, succeeded iu keeping ten followers "well to heel;" but au apparently solid Opposition of twelve deterred them from venturing into Committee ot Supply, Un Wudnes- day, however, tho i'reimer announced the intention of the Government to move the House into Committee ol Supply ou the following day, ami the Opposition, or rather, eleven of its ineiniieia, wondered whence Minister.* had derived fresh coui'ttg-j. Ou Thursday the formal motion to go into Committee of Supply wus made by tho Minuter of Finance, and it was noticed that the anxious, despairing expression which had sai on the uouu- tuiiiinvei of Mim-tters forsuveral weeks had given place to uiie of coiilideucu and defiance. Thu leader of the Opposition, however, moved the following amendment: "The Government "having lost tliu confidence of the "House, his Honor thu Licutt-muui- "Governor can no longer properly "repose truat iu tho advicu of his Ministers." A debate arose, and before tlie House divided Mr. McGillivray announced his intention to "vote for the Government" ! 1 He had "ratted," and thu Government wero saved! Moral: Don't harbor "rats" in your party, "ilo Tor Manitoba!" This would now appear to bo the cry all over Ontario, and to such an ex* tent does the emigtation fever rage that actual depopulation is feared by some nf tho moru timorous Hut there is little danger to be apprehended in that direction. Meanwhile Manitoba and the Northwest are receiving a very desirable class of settlers from the queen province. Such has been the demand for transport that arrangement! have been made for weekly excursion trains leaving Toronto for that "Promised Land." The first of tneae left early last month, taking 250 passengers. These cars ruu right through to Winnipeg without change or disturbance to passengers or baggage, which is an immense convenience —an inducement in fact to "go west!" The Globe (Toronto) says:— Sometime since mention was made of a project to ship portable wooden houses in sections from Ottawa to Winnipeg. White these are getting ready another enterprise is started tn ship tents thither. The National Manufacturing Company, of thii city, will, on Wednesday, send 1,500 heavy cotton tents under care of ex*Aid. J. C. Jamieion. These will be of dimensions of eleven by thirteen feet, and are intended to accommodate eight men each for sleeping purposei. Six monster tents will accompany the smaller ones, which will be erected outside ot the town. These will contain room enough for two hundred bedi, and will be managed as lodging-houses, each tenant paying so much for his bed. • ■». ■ Tlie Legislature. TUESDAY. The greater part of the sitting was taken up with a discussion upon Dr. Ash's motion for papers relating tu the Reed Brother's claim for $42,000, damages in connection with the dock. The motion was strongly opposed by the Govonimen , but they wero filially made to yield, yet with so bad a grace as to excite nunpiciou that there is another "skeleton.'' The bill making a lawyer of Mr. 0. Wilson, of Cariboo,, wal passed through eommittw and read a third time. The Bill admiting Mr. Leamy, of Yale, to the Bar was passed through committee and read a third time. WfiDNEiaUAY. In reply to Mr. Bennett, Mr. Walkem informed the House that Messrs.

Mr. Walkom informed th* House that it would bo asked to go into committee of supply on Thursday. The Laud Bill was resumed in committee of the whole, aud a lengthy discussion arose ou tile area to be sold to any one party, without any progress being made witli the measure. Tho Coroner's Bill passed through Committee. Messrs. Smithe, Wilson and Drum- mond wero added to the private hills committee. Marine Intelligence, Wednesday —Tho Enterprise left for Victoria.

The C. P, R. Syndicate is having no end of trouble with its smart Yankee oiiicers, as the following will show. It is to be presumed that the'' No Canadians need apply" notice hus been taken down now : Winnipeg, March 15,—Chief Constantino went west to-day to arrest a very prominent man formerly in the Canadian Pacific Railway service. The otl'ence is copying level*, etc., the property of the Company. At the Munduy tire the books and papers of tho Syndicate Engineering Department were unaccountably removed from the Bank uf Montreal building to a prominent latid ofiiee, where it ii suspected they were surep- titiously iuflpected. In consequence to-day every clerk was discharged. It is believed that the location of the line will be ch-inged, since the squatters got ahead of the Syndicate on the aite of Brandon. Tiie Syndicate have determined to lay out their stations on their own lands, even if they havo to change the route. At the dictation of the Syndicate, it is openly asserted, the following telegram has been despatched hy the Government to tho Dominion Lands Oflice:- "A. 1.1. Whitchbh: "Withdraw from entry all oven- numbered sections next to and along both aide* uf tlie Cauiida "Pacific Railway and ita braiichua. Warn intending settlers accordingly j and forward certified copy of this denpatch at once hy special messenger tu Nelsonville otlice. "(Signed) Lindsay RiraiBU." This is regarded as a deliberate nur- render te the Syndicate, and a serious check to settling the country, The feeling is bitter against the Syndicate for discharging clerks who have religiously kept the secrets of the ollice. for delays and breach of agreement of all kinds iu connection with Canadian Pacific Railway. He would neither name a sum of money or any sum. This calls for patriotic action on the part of the Provincial Government and Legislature. Tho rights of the Provinco should bo maintained at all hazards, and the Imperial Government should be aaked to promptly settle and conclude the Island Railway question with compensation for delays in con Btruction of Pacific Railway. * * * The fact of the Order-in-Council making Estpiitnalt the Ocean Terminus was repiidiatod by Sir J, Macdonald yesterday, although the Order-in-Council of 1879 reviving the Order-in-Council of 1873 is unrepealed. I purpose to write two letters to Sir .lohn Macdonald to-morrow—one on our right to Island Railway as part of the Canadian Pacific Railway and tho other showing the ground for compensation.

Mr. DeUosmoB (who appears to be still fill in;; the role of special agent of the Province) sent a lengthy telegram from Ottawa un the 31st ult. The following are thoso portions of it which it suited the purposes of the Ministers to place before the House:— "Dunsmuir left for England, via Montreal mm New York, without concluding a bargain with Canadian Government for construction of Island Railway. He received a reply to hia proposal that in no way committed Government, yet the varbul assurance given * * * had impressed hiin with the belief thut an arrangement for the construction of tho Island Railway would be made with him after the general election next summer. He telegraphed copy of a Bill for the incorporation of a company by the Provincial Legislature to construct and operate a railway from Indian Reserve, Victoria, via Esquimau, to Nanaimo, with power of extension to Comox, Seymour Narrows, and Alhiml, and accept oash and land subsidies from Provincial and Dominion Governments, or either. I sincerely recommend the Eassing of the Bill. The associates of hinsinuir aud Biggie, Crocker and Stanford, are a guarantee that the Island Railway will be built if the Dominion Government agree to the subsidies that they may ask. The Central and Southern Paoific Railway can provide a market for coal that will annually increase, and at the same time nut diminish tha supply for the Cana dian Pacific by railway furry to Burrard Inlet. I know no combination that can do so much for the development of island interests and industries as the out proposed, nor do so much for tho general interests of the Provinco. It is a matter of regret to me that no bargain was concluded with them. The * * * Canadian Gov urnment in not concluding an arrangement with this company pontpones for indefinite period tho construction of the Island Railway, In an interview with Sir J. Macdonald yesterday, ho denied that there was nny obligation tn construct it as part of the Canadian Pacific, but intimated that after prorogation the railway question would be taken up with a view to its filial settlement.

They would like to lire In town because there would be libraries there." Scorn unutterable was expressed in the accent laid upon the penultimate word. *•■- j* "L—liberies. But you can bare a library in the country. At least, there's Mudie's. They send all over tho country. Mudie's will send you anything you want." Aunt hor pause, till Mrs. Conisbrough began: "Well, really, in many ways, Mudie's » such a tiresome institution. They sometimes keep you so long " "Mudie's is a delightful institution, but a very expensive one," said Judith composedly. "A box for the country, to be worth anything, cuats five guineas, and then there's the carriage to ■nd from London." "My dear Judith, that won't interest Mr. Danesdale." "Perhaps not; I only wished him to understand." "Ysi,1' said he, "in such a case you want a free library," "Our library consists of fields and trees, and tbe running brooks," observed Delphine, laughing. "Miss Comsbrough has seen something else as well, lie observed looking at Judith, putting down his cup and rising all at once. "Not much else," answered she. "So little else that it will take me a leng time to digest all that I saw and heard in Irkford while I was there," He shook hands with Mrs. Conisbrough, remarking that ho would be just in time for dinner, if ho took the short ciit across tho moor, and then, bidding sdieu to the young ladies, and asking if he might come again, lie took his departure. "Now, Del, I'll go up stairs, and remove the stains of travel," remarked Judith, putting aside Rhoda's renewed demands for news. "Yes, do, and I'll come with you," answered Delphine, as they passed out of the parlor together. Outside, in tbe hall, they stood still, and looked each at the other, thoir bands locked together. Then both bent forward, and exchanged a grave kiss. "Now, I feel ns if I really were at home again," said Judith, in a tone of •itisfaction. "I'll come to your room, Del, since my things have not walked up stairs, and according t<> Rhoda's account, there is no one to bring them at present." "All right," said Delphine, flying up the shallow oaken stairs with a rapid motion, and then arrived at the top, standing still and looking down upon her more slowly moving sister. "You are more like some 'strange bright bird' than ever, child," said ! Judith, her eyes dwelling upon her with deop pleasure. "Don't add, 'with plumage gay,' I pray you," laughed Delphine, "for my plumage. is very old and shabby, and is likely to continue so." ' 'It shows off your beauty tbe better, then," replied the other, as they went arm in arm down a long, light, broad corridor. There was abundance nf room in Yoresett House. If the girls had not many other luxuries, they could each indulge in that of a separate bedroom, and one or two sitting-rooms apiece as well. Tho only difficulty about it being, as Rhoda had more than once observed, that there wus no furniture in nny of them. Delphine flitted about the room, pouring out water for Judith to wash her hands in, placing a brush aud comb for her, and so forth, all her movements being instinct with a grace on which the eyes of the elder girl continually dwelt. Delphine was more like a ray of sunshine than anything else, but not the sunshine that is broad and busy and glaring; rather like those rays of it which come quietly stealing through tress on a summer afternoon, as the sun goes westering. Her hair was of the real golden hue, and alio wore it braided low down behind, and falling in loose aud natural waves about a delicate aud sweet oval face. She possessed, too, the great beauty which does not always accompany such hair and such a complexion, a pair of limpid, golden-brown eyes, which might b« light in their actual color, but which, as Judith had often said, "always behaved u if they were dark." Seen alone, it could not be denied thst Judith Conisbrough possessed grace, as Well as dignity of carriage. Been beside Delphine, the dignity remained, but one wondered where the grace had gone. The girls were aged respectively twenty and twenty-two; and their friendship was as closely knit a bond as could well exist. "How did Mr. Dsuesdalt get hero, Delphine, and where does he come from?" asked Judith. "Hnw long is it since be established himself here in this fashion ? And have I been away four days! or am I laboring under a delusion and been absent four months 1" "Your questinni art numerous, my dear, for you. I will answer the last one first. You left here last Thursday, so that as to-day is Monday, you have been away just four days. Mr. Danes- dale got here by the prosaic method nf pulling the belt, and asking Louisa if Mrs. Conisbrough was at home. Ho performed this prodigious deed last Thursday afternoon—-not many hours after you and Uncle Aglionby had started on ynur travels." "But what brought him here? Tlie Danesdules and we have not had much to do with eaoh other for a long time, now. Surely, he did not deliberately come to call upon us." "He came very deliberately, as he dmi everything," replied Delphine, with asuddon infectious laugh, which began in hereyeB, and ended with her voice. "He came, as I tell you, and was admitted. He introduced himself, and laid he had been shooting, and that In returning, coming through Yoresett, ho had been prowling round our back promises, of course not know- ing whole they were, and that his dog, in a moment of temporary mental aberration, having perceived our cat, had rushed into the garden after her,; and was then planted beneath the big apple-tree, awaiting her descent from it, while she sat aloft and growled. He—Mr. Danesdale I mean, not the dog—thought his personal intervention would be necessary to reconcile the conflicting powers. He bad asked man whose garden it was, and as he know Mrs. Conisbrough's name perfectly well, he had ventured—and so ou. A very elegant speech, but it took him such a long time to get through it." "Well, did you lot him into the garden, then ?'' "We let him into the garden and watched him carefully, and in some alarm, as being a very unusual kind of visitor, for us to have, we perceived him go into the garden, call his dog to him, and administer a cull'to it." "Beat it? oh, horrid!" said Miss Conisbrough, with a red face of indignation. "So Rhoda thought, for she ran to him, and caught hold of his arm, aud in a voice trembling with emotion, cried 'For shame!'" Judith laughed. "He turned round, took off his hat, and said, 'Did you ever t—train a dog V" Judith laughed again at the ludicrously exact imitation of Mr. Danes- dulo's tones. "Rhoda said 'no.' 'Then,'hs answered, with the most inelanchely drawl, 'don't hinder mo in the performance of a painful duty.' Upon which Rhoda blushed violently, though she indignantly denies it to this day." "To this day! it might have happened a month ago to hear you talk." "It does seem quite a long time ago. He gave his dog a slight chastisement, and sent it in a state of abject repentance out. into the road. Then mother asked him to sit down in tho parlor and rest, which ho did: he stayed quito a long time, and told us where he had been traveling, and what he bad been doing, and what he meant to do, now that he had got home." "Evidently under the impression that his family and ours were on intimate terms," interrupted Judith sig niticantly. "Quite so, aud he described the party they bad staying at the Castlo, and, I'm sorry to say, made great fun of some of his sister's friends." "Implying that you were not so dull," murmured Judith. "Perhaps so," said Delphine, who had seated herself on the edge of tbe bed, and who looked pensively across at her sister. "But then you must reflect, Judith, as stum as ho mentioned us at homo, which lie would be almost sure to do, his darkness would be on- lightened, for Philippn Danesdale is not our devoted friend; lie would hear all about us, and about our poverty and our general insignificance." "Yes, of course; and what conclusion do you draw from that ?" "Oh, nothing in particular, only you seemed to think that if he had known at first all about us and our circumstances, he might not have been so polite as lie has been." "So I did think, and so I do." "Cynic! But in that case, why does he continue to come? for he has been several times—nearly everyday—since, on some pretext or other." "True," said Judith, reflectively, stunning still with a hair-brush in one hand, and a hand-glass in the other, and looking with abstracted earnestness at Delphine, who for her part met the glance openly with hor luminous eyes, which seemed to reveal everything, while in reality they concealed nearly all that was passing iu hor mind. "Ho must come then," said Judith slowly, "because ho likes to come." "Or," suggested Delphine, with a shadowy smile, "to amuse himself— young men like to amuse themselves, so I've heard; and speaking from my own point of view as a young woman, I should suppose it was true—and if they have inquiring minds, and are in a strange country, they liko to amuse themselves by studying the manners and customs of tho natives. Now, Mr. Damsdale is in a strange country— I'm sure Danesdale must be very strange to him after tho years he's been away, and we, as natives must be stramie too." "Ergo?" "He liiids amusement in studying T. R. PEARSON 4 CO., —IMPOBTMS AMD DjSALEIlS IS— Books & Stationery, FARCY GOQBS, Pianos, Organs & Music, South Side ot Colombia St., New Westminster, B. C.

"I have only one objection tu make to it." "And what is that V' "That I don't believe, and It would take a great deal to convince ma, that Mr, Danesdale was ever amused at anything in his whole life." "Oh, Judith! Why, be was intensely amused at Rhoda and her goose this very afternoon." "Was he? Well,I beg his pardon, and yours. In the meantime, don't you think mamma will be feeling herself injured at our long absence t" Raid Judith, giving a final shake to her garments. The two girls, arm in arm again, went down the broad, light passage, which, however, was beginning to bo dusk now, and buck again into the parlor. Neither of them had said, "He amies tu see some one," yet the thought had been present in both minds. "Wow," said Rhoda, as they came into the parlor; "draw round the fire, and in the twilight tell us the tale of your adventures at Irkford. Give a sensational account of the meeting at onct." Judith essayed to do so, but succeeded ill, su ill that Rhoda at last said: "Was it enthusiastic ? I can't picture it. Was th* room as large as the whole inside of Yoresett Church ?" (Yoresett Church wuuld Beat 800 persons at the outside.) Judith laughed, "I must have told my tale badly indeed, Rhoda. The room held twenty- five thousand people," "Oh, dear!" said Rhoda, subdued by tbe picture conjured up, "I can't imagine it," she said at last. "One ought to Bee such things, and I never shall. And you went to the play? Oh, how I should like to go to the play! What was it called? 'Diplomacy?' that sounds political too. Mr. Danesdale says be has been over and ovor again to every theatre in Europe, worth speaking of, and he's going to give me an account of his experience." (To I'oConfttiifr..) Pianos & Organs.
