Romance I By John Strange Winter 41 .Copyright 1899 by iho Author. B9999?999'**9*9*f^«9-t"«9*«P There waa not the smallest doubt that the large vessel was gone, that she waa many fathoms under water. There waa little or no doubt that Captain Conway had gone down with her, and, ao far aa waa known, only five persona of all her goodly company had lived to toll the tale of her disastrous end. Two of these were passengera, two wero ordinary sailors, the fifth was the ship's purser; all the rest of the 800 souls who had Bailed aboard of her had fonnd a watery grave and wonld be aeon no more All through the long hours of watching and auspenae did Mary Conway try to battle down the overwhelming sense of relief which had taken possession of her. She cared not, did not feel tbe very smallest grief for thehpsband who had forgotten hia manhood and her womanhood alike, but she hated herself for not feeling it Her heart waa torn in twain. One half was singing a pisnn of thankfulness for deliverance; the other waa bursting with a sense of her own impotence and helplessness to avert the aword then hanging above the head of her aick mother aa the aword of Damocles hung suspended by a single hair. She waa glad in her heart that her care and anxiety for her mother would naturally account for the absence of any exhibition of great or noiay grief for her husband. The doctor spoke of J the Ion of the Arikhama once or twice, and Mouncey brought her tbe latest details tbat were published in the papers, but Mrs. Hamilton was during those first few daya the object of .paramount interest. Captain Conway waa gonel All the love or loathing in tbe world could not affect him any mora For him •11 waa over; be had already passed among the things that have been and shall be no moro. Bnt Mrs. Hamilton waa still alive and still needed the most minute care and the closest attention. She was, inapiteof that terrible tragedy of the aea, the most important person of that small household. In health she did not improve. At times faint flashes of understanding came back, bnt they were only feeble and flickering efforts of the clouded brain to re-establish its mastery of wbat waa going on around her. If she knew any one definitely, it waa Mary, but of that, even, they were none of them very certain. The nurse who waa in charge aaid positively that Mrs. Hamilton knew no ona Mouncey, on the other hand, insisted that she had seen the poor lady's eyea follow the mistress as aba moved away from the bed. This, however, waa a question which no one conld decide positively, but in discussing it the onlookers, although it ia proverbial that onlookers see most of the game, never realized that in anxiety for her mother Mra. Conway Buffered no grief for her husband. On tbe fourth day after tbe coming of the newa Mary received a visit from two gentlemen. Ona was the managing -I did not know tt," aatd Mary. director of tbe company to which the Arikhama had belonged; the other waa by him introduced aa the lawyer to the company. "You are perhaps," said Mr. Law- son, tbe managing director, "not aware, Mra. Conway, that your husband made • will three daya before tbe Arikhama sailed from London." ' "I did not know it," aaid Mary. "Such, however, waa the case," he said suavely, "and, moreover, his last inatruetiona were that ahould anything happen during either of the*** voyages Mr. Mannington"—indicating hia companion by a geature—"should at once aeek you out and make you acquainted with as little delay aa possible with bis last wiahea with "regard to the property he had to leave." CHAPTER VL TBI BAUD OF THI DEAD. Mr. Lawson ceased speaking and fixed hla attention npon hia companion. Mary also turned her clear eyea upon tho lawyer and awaited what he might s.iy nest To asr tha leaat of it. hia remark waa unexpected. "1 may aay at once tbat I did not make this will of Captain Conway," he aaid in polito and strictly professional accents. "It was made by some person unknown to me and handed to me by Captain Conway, seal- ad aa you see it, with instructions that ahould necessity arise I should at once Seek you out break tbe seals in your presence and make yon acquainted with the content*" "I am quite at your service," said Mary tremulously. The lawyer at once broke tbe seals and drew from tbe long, tough envelope a folded paper. Mary sat, with faanda quietly clasped in her lap, wait- lag Mr. Mannington cast hia eye over the writing, frowned, bit his lip, glanced at the girl widow apprehensively and then "coughed nervously. "You have no idea—I should say—1 mean"— he atumniered. Mary looked up. "Will yon read it ?' she suggested. "I bave no idea what ia in it, but I shall be surprised at nothing Captain Conway had strunge ideaa on some subjects." "Very strange," murmured Mr. Law- son, who gathered from the lawyer's manner that the will contained nothing of pleasant import to the lady. "I will read it." said the lawyer, then coughed again and began '1, Edward Oonvruy, captain of the 8. S, Arikhama, being of sound mind on this th* 11th day of July, 18—, declare this to bo my last will and testament. All und tiny property of which 1 die possessed I givo und bequsmth to my nephew, Howard Conway, to be abso lutely snd entirely at hia own disposal. "Bdwahd Conway. •'In the presence of Benry Challurtou, John Walker.*' For a few momenta tbe widow and tbe shipowner were too mnch surprised to speak. Of the three Mary was the most composed. Mr. Lawson wns. however, the first to break the silence. "You were perhaps otherwise provided for. Mrs. Conway*" he said gently. Mary shook her head. "No; I am entirely unprovided for," ahe replied. "But—but such a will is preposterous. Mannington, ia there no possibility of upsetting it?" "Wills have been upset, of course, and will be again," aaid the lawyer, guardedly "In this case, however, such a course would be costly—and uncertain. Mra. Conway waa living with her husband up to the time of his leaving home, ahe ia living under his roof now, and it would be difficult to prove that the nephew had possessed or exercised any undue influence or tbat the testator was not of sound mind at the time of making the wilL You, for instance, conld not come forward to throw any donbts upon hia sanity from your own observation, for the jury and tbe public would alike ask wbat were you about to send out a vessel like the Arikhama in charge of a person whom you believed to be more or less of a lunatic." "You could not aay it," put in Mary, rising to her feet. "Nor should I wish it Gentlemen, you need not trouble about me—I dare say Mr. Howard Conway will not turn me out of this bonse while my mother ia so ill—or until she is gone where there is no need of any refuga " "I will communicate with him nt once,"said Mr. Mannington. "It is not at all likely, especially as he inherits everything, which mnst be a great and unexpected thing for him.' he added. "Then I need not detain you any longer," aaid Mary, holding out her hand. Mr. Lawson possessed himself of it "Forgive ma my dear young lady," he said, kindly, "but have you means for the moment? If you bave illness in the house, and you spoke of yonr mother"— "My mother is very ill, very, very iii" said Mary. "She was an invalid when I married, but the newa of Captain Conway'a death came upon her without warning and brought on another stroke, a very serious ona We have not much hope of her." Her voice dropped away to wbat waa little more than a whisper. Mr. Law- son kept hold of her hand and murmured consoling little phrases. Mary, however, waa quite dry eyed. Her grief ai-d despair were too deep for ordinary way a of sorrow. "You must let me see you through this." be said at laat "Your husband waa in the service of my company for many years, and you muat not hesitate to take from me what is necessary to tide you over this unlocked for tima Have you formed any Men or plans yet ? But no—of course you have not. Who was. to expect that such a will would be left behind?" ' Mary looked upon him with ber wonderful clear eyea "I earned my living for years before I waa married," she said, simply, "and I aball be able to earn it again. Just now, of course, I am all out of reckoning and can aet about nothing You are very kind, Mr. Law- son, bnt 1 have some money left" "1 will supplement it," he said, hurriedly, and tore himself away, unable longer to bear the dumb pain of her eyes and mouth. At laat ahe waa left alone, alone to think over the end to which her fine marriage had brought her, to think that here ahe wq^^n a house which she had thought has* fiwn. but which had been left away flttn ber to one whom her husband bad alwaya professed to hate fiercely, penniless except for the few pounds which she happened to havo drawn out of the bank before tbe newa of the foundering of the Arikhama had reached tbem. Well, abe had wished, longed, prayed, to be free, and her wishes, longings and prayers had been heard and answered She waa free, ahe was a white slave no longer, ahe would never again realize with a thrill of ahuddering horror that ahe bad sold herself into bondage, into the rorat and most hateful kind of bondage, that aha had sold not only herself, her body, but, to all intenta and purposes, her very soul Well, it waa all over now. She waa herself again, accountable to no one for ber actiona abe waa free of tbat unbearable chain, of tbat hated union. Tbe worldly dross for which she had sacrificed herself had fallen awa*/ like the links of the chain of fate, and she would have to begin at the lowest rung of the ladder again. Still ahe would be content. Every crust of bread that she earned would be her own, and aweet would be the taste thereof—it would be bettor, far better to sweep a crossing and to live contentedly on the pence earned hy sweeping it well, than to live in luxury earned by the loss of all her womanly self respect Tbere came to her mind more times than once a verse out of the Oreat Book —"Bettor a dinner of herbs where love is than a stalled ox and hatred there with." How true, how true! And yet the poor soul above struggling with the rapid8 of life nnd death had never seen the lieanty of the dinner of herbs. She had longed to ho as the stalled ox, believing that the smoothest pathways must always be the most pleasant nnd the best for us. Well, sho hnd enjoyed her brief spell of tho Btnlled ox to the full, and it was probable thnt she would slip away over the greut barrier without ever knowing that there had been hatred ut all. And if that should bo so, Mary Conway felt that she would be ublo to face all tbe rest of her life fearlessly and with a thankful spirit. Lnto in the evening a messenger arrived bringing a letter by hand from Mr. Lawson. Dkaii Mks.

Bin aereiy yours, Hiinky Lawson. Inclosed with this letter waa a check for £100. It would bo hard to describe Mary's feelings thut night Tho kindness, tlie distant dignity of tho few words, impressed her deeply. She never thought of refusing the kindly gift, so welcome to save her from nnheurd of horrors. She only longed fiercely und passionately that she might, nay could, wonld, go nnd tell this man everything, tell him tho whole .story of her mnrriuge nnd the ennse pure nnd simple why Captain Conway had left a cruel und wholly unjust will behind him. u sinister blow to strike her in a vulnerable part and from whieh she hnd no chance of defending herself. She went to her bed thut night with u fixed intention of going in tbe morning to seek out Mr. Lawson and to tell him everything, with a determination that she wonld justify herself in his eyea But morning brought different feelings. In the early dawn a change for the worse came over Mrs. Hamilton, und the nurse called Mary from her bed, believing thut the end was nigh at hand. And aa she stood by the side of that poor, flickering, feeble light, so soon to burn out into nothingness so far aa concerned this world, a voice came to her telling ber to do nothing, to aay nothing—thc voice of a strange, curious, wise instinct, which said: "You are free. Don't fetter your freedom by troubling about the past. With good intentions you did what you thought and believed was for tbe best. The sacrifice was made, served its purpose, and you are released. Do nothing. Accept the kindness of this stranger, take it as it is offered and endure all in silence. At the very worst his suspicion, if he has ona ia only a suspicion. No good can come to yon by blackening the memory of a dead man. If you speak, you will bat save your fair fame at the expense of hia If be has been ungenerous to you, so spiteful as to aim a blow at you from his sailor's grave, do not you retaliate by striking back at him now. Best, far best, to suffer in silence; wisest, far wisest, to cut you raj! f oft as completely as may be from tbe mistaken past, to begin life afresh on your own linea and u8free as is possible from tbe influences which have dominated you, hurt you and poisoned your better self heretofore." Mary Conway knew that her instinct was a wise one. that the strange mysterious voice waa that of a friend in the best sense of tbe word. She made up her mind during those few terrible hours of watching that she would follow the advice which had come to her from her inner self, that she would bury tbe past and begin a new life with the day that she turned ber back npon the home of her brief married life, the house which had been in no sense a home to her. And the following day Henry Lawson received this note - 1 thank you with all ray heart for yonr kind •nd generous gtft. it will be my salvation and will enable mo to start myself afresh. 1 am quite alone ln thu world now. Hy mother died at 6 o'clock this afternoon. Yours with deep gratitude, Mahy Cukwat. CHAPTER VII LIKK ON NKW LINES. As soon as she could be quietly and decently laid away, Mra Hamilton waa carried out of tbe pretty villa in which sbe hud enjoyed ber brief spell of prosperity, and then Mary made ber preparations for turning ber back upon her old life forever. Sho waa not obliged to leave the house with undue baste, for Howard Conway wrote to her aa soon as he heard the news of bis inheritance, telling her that the house waa quite at ber disposal for a few weeks, until indeed she had time to make her arraagementa Mary, however, replied tbat if Mr. Conway wonld send some one to take possession at 11 o'clock on the following Monday morning she would be ready, and tbat abe would prefer to give up possession, aa she would be leaving the house then Greatly to ber relief, Howard Conway did not think it necessary to appear himself, but sent a young solicitor, who treated the outgoing widow with a curious mixture of condolence and admiration such as wonld have made a woman who knew the world better exceedingly angry Upon Mary, however, this munner hud no effeat She hud just passed through the great tragedy of her life, sho was fiu-o to face with n greut uuestiou. "how to five in tbo Inline.' and a flippant young mnn with rather bnd manners hud no moro effect upon her thun she might hnve felt from a gnat humming to and fro in the air. Sho took nothing with her excepting such things as had been absolutely her own, bought with her own money, earned by her own labor. Howard Conway's friend was astonished to find ali tbe little woman's treasures which she loft lying about. "But surely these are your own personal belongings, Mrs. Conway," ho ex- claimed in his surprise, pointing to various photographs in pretty frames which stood on a little table near the drawing room window.

An Irregular string of pedestrians Hung Itself pnst the place, Ignoring for the most part the slight Inconvenience of stepping over the miniature lakes. But one man, when he was confronted with the situation, started back with au exclamation of vexation aud passed around the pools. "Tbat chap bas agoraphobia," said one of two men who had noted the movement. "Haa what?" asked the other. "Agoraphobia. It means simply an abhorrence of open spaces, and It has a grent many victims. Specialists tn this sort of nervousness sny It takes various forms, some of its subjects having an insurmountable dread of crossing from oue side of tbe street to the other, while others have a disinclination to go moro than a few blocks from their home.

Others dread descending Into a well beyond a certain depth, and still others have a fear of getting too blgb ln a building or au elevator.

A Celebrated Itomna Gate*. Touching tbe matter of eating, the stories told by the old chroniclers and historians of the abnormal appetites of certain Roman and oriental men of note fairly stagger belief. Gibbon tells of Solimnu, a caliph lu the eighth century, who died of indigestion In bis camp near Chalets. In Syria, just as he was about to lead an army nf Arabs against Constantinople, lie bad emptied two baskets of eggs and figs, which he swallowed alternately, and the repast was finished with marrow -and sugar. In a pilgrimage to Mecca the same caliph bad eaten with Impunity at a single meal 70 pomegranates, a kid, 6 fowls and a huge quantity of the grapes of Tayef. Such a statement would defy belief were not others of a similar character well avouched. Louis XIV could hardly boast of nn appetite as ravenous aa Sollmnn's, but be would eat at a Bitting four platefuls of different soups, a whole pheasant a pnrtrldge, a plateful of salad, mutton hashed wltb garlic, two good sized slices of bam, a dish of pastry and finish with fruit and sweetmeats.

A Snake Story From Niagara Full*, Out,, Well Vs.usjlis'il Fur. George J. Howard, cashier ol the Bank of Niagara, and Ethan Howard, hia brother, both of Niagara Falls, Ontario, had an exciting experience on a recent Sunday, and one thoy will not forget in a hurry. They spent the duy exploring Foster's Flats and the territory below that famous locality. They had with great difficulty gone down the river from Foster's Flats, skirting the rough and wild edge of the river, and intending to cj-mtj a Dl,nk at a spot farther down. Tho walking was very hard, and progress slow. When they had gone a short distanco from the Flats they ran Into a den of rattlesnakes. The first they know of their danger was the rattling of a large snako immediately in front of them. The men grabbed clubs and despatched the reptile, but hardly was this one killed when others were seen in tho neighborhood. Seven snakes in all wore seen, and of these four wero killed by the Howards, tho body of one and tho rattles of others being taken home as evidence of the fact that rattlesnakes still exist on tho Niagara frontier. Almost anything could live in the very wild region below Foster's Flats, or on tho Flats themselves. It ia by far tho oldest and most unknown ground within hundreds of miles. Reports of rattlers still living there come now and then from travelers, but no etory in years, vouched for by peoplo of well-known reputation, . in, regard to those, snakes, has been hoard. They report that they were very much surprised to lind the snakes, and that there are undoubtedly many more in the vicinity. They consider it unsafe for a man to penetrate to the mysteries of the gorge beyond tha Flats without thick leggings on. The snakes killed wore rather large, three of them being over three feet in length, and the fourth being somewhat smaller. Thoy hud np woapo-ns, save those grabbed on the spot, otherwise they would have got the seven. Nino rattles were found In ono snake, and thsse, with the skin ol the biggest snake and rattles, form an interesting reminiscence or an exciting Sunday morning encounter within a milo of Niagara Falls.

TWO LEITERS WHICH TROVE THE PERMANENCY OF CURES DY DODD'S KIDNEY FILLS. Sam Derroc'hers Cured of Diabetes in . 1808—Had lt For Over Five Years—His Recent Letter Proves That Hip Cure Still Holds Good. Quebec, July 29.—(Special)—Sam Derrochers, of the Fortress City was cured oi Diabetes by Dodd's Kidney Pills in 1898. His case is well known here, it having been published in the papers at the time, and a great deal of attention was drawn to Hodd's Kidney Pills oa its account. Diabetes, however, is known to be an incurable disease, and many of the more sceptical of Quebec citizens expressed doubt as to the permanency oi the euro. These doubts may now be sot at rest. Mr. DciT^ehors himself attests that,in three yt-ars he has had no sign of Diabetes' i.-turn. On May 28, 1898, Mr. Sam Derrochers published the following letter in the Quebec papers : "1 have been a victim to Diabetes for over live years, with terrible pains around my kidneys. My feet were alv. ays cold, and my thirst could not be quenched, no matter what I drank. 1 tried remedy after remedy but received no help. I purchased one box of Dodd's Kidney Pills and found immediate relief. I havo now finished live boxes, and can say I am perfectly cured." Now to clear away all possible doubt that Mr. Derrochers was not (nrsii, to show beyond question that Dodd's Kidney Pills did not merely relieve him for tho time, but actually cured him of Diabetes, aad cured him to stay cured, we publish his letter of April 4th, 190*1. T*tat Sirs,—My cure o* Diabetes by Dodd's Kidney Pills has been per- mancnt. I have not been troubls-d with a sign of Diabetes since my cure three years ago." Dodd's Kidney PiUs cure all diseases of the Kidneys and the troubles arising from weak action of the Kidneys. They nro used throughout the* world. AN EXPEDIENT.

"The amount was a trifling one, and 1 did send him a foreign moHey order.

John Gocttschc, New Denver's brick manufacturer, was here on Friday. Miss E. Stougliton has been elected president of the local branch of the VY.CT.U. Shatford & Co, arc having a large fire proof cellar constructed, next their store. Thc juvenile band serenaded Geo. Ager and bride at the Arlington on Tuesday night. Lifo lias come into the Silverton Waterworks Co. and they will instal their plant at once. The lirst city trades licenses were issued on Friday last, yielding quite a respectable revenue. vV. S. Johnson lias his father visiting him, he having arrived in yesterday from Montreal. J. L. White and wifo returned to Green wood Wednesday evening, after a pleasant outing here. Train service has been demoralized this week, as a result of the strike and prevailing forest fires. Rev. Mr. Stoney, of Trail, will preach in the Methodist church next Sunday, mornin;": and evening. Chas. Dempster returned to town on Friday and has since examined a number of properties in tho camp. One of tho big trestles on the Nakusp & Slocan railway was burned out Sunday evening by a forest fire. Dune Weir came down from New Denver Thursday and went up to work on the Young Boar group next day. A crown grant is being applied for on the Silver Star fraction, near Dayton creek, lt is owned by Tom Mulvey. E. W. 11am had ft, carload of lumber come in Friday from Wlolaw'a mill, to be used for buildings on his new ranch. A special engine came round from Nakusp by Robson Wednesday, the old mill on the Sandon road bavin-* played out. Gr. A. Campbell, freight clerk on the Slocan, lias been promoted to the position of purser on that vessel, vice Fred Wright. Owing to the burning ofthe trestle west of Hosebery, all coast freight for the Slocan is sent round by Robson and this place. Knox church Sunday school picnic, held last Friday afternoon, was an enjoyable affair, though the attend ance was small. Janies Tattersall and wife, Mrs. Shatford and Miss Purdy went down to the Crossing Tuesday evening, on a fishing expedition. Owing to the great heat prevailing in the interior, tlie department, of education has postponed the opening ofthe schools till thc l'.lth. J. Roderick Robertson, genera' manager of the London & B. C. Gold fields, passed through from Nelson to the Enterprise mine on Saturday. The passengers that went north on Tuesday morning hnd to return, being ur.able to get to Nakusp. Tbey were switched round by Robson, H. I,. Fife got ihe contract for erecting the new Orange Hall, on Arthur street. It will be 20x'K)foet in size and finished in dressed cod r. A small building has been erected Otl the back end of W, T. Shatford & Co.'s lot, corner of Delaney avenue jnent of the Increased tonnage of the and Main street, to bo used as a lire According to his own statement, the elevation of K. F. Green to the ' provincial cabinet, much as it is do- elred, is not to be. Iiis appointment Is simply delayed and is bound to come. The price ot lead does not affect the mines in thc local division, and the absence of that mineral is compen sated by increased values in silver. Hence a strong factor in winning favor with mining men. A contract has teen entered into by the Arlington with thc Nelson smelter to ship 1000 tons of ore a month. Think what that means to the camp —and all from one property, too. Thc day of the dry ore belt has arrived. Here is a public spectacle and a national disgrace. On the one hand tho poor trackmen on the C.P.R. are ■contending for a beggarly $1.75 per day, and on thc other the company directors meet and declare big dividends. "Increased earnings" by Canada's octopus are wrung from those unfortunate beings employed in the hardest of services. Mayor York will have the hearty support of the citizens In his under- ' taking toget a bank established here. "The lack of such an institution is one ofthe greatest drawbacks to the pro gross of the place,and were a branch opened an endless amount of annoyance would be avoided nnd general business facilitated. Either one ot two chartered banks expresses willingness to locate here, and tho first one in will be assured of a lucrative business. The division is coming In for a great deal of complimentary cum ment and attention from mining circles by reason of the published Kate- hall. It. will bo noticed by an advertisement that tenders are Invited for thc ore shipments. Developments are being conducted on n more extensive scalo and buyers arc becoming more numerous. Thatiiiwherethe benefit I erection and completion ofa Nil- comes ,„ of having a lMN|«l«r In 8?-^ J^g-y-ll--— n»y the camp. Without it the it the division would be like it was in the lean years following the boom -unknown, Kaslo Kootenaian; Slocan City is agitating the forming of a board of trade for that place and an effort is being made to have a smelter established there Instead of at Kaslo. The 'board of trade will bo a good tUlni*, but why the smelter should be built there instead of at Kaslo bns yet to be 'shown. Yes, a board of trade would indeed be a good thing for Slocan in every '.way. It could educate the Kaslo man in the knowledge that l;la burg possesses nothing to warrant the erection ofa smelter there beyond a a site, while Slocan possesses every requisite for a first-class establishment but a little coke. Nature has a .hand in this business and that is why 'the smelter should come to Slocan. And, by the way, Mr. Man from Kaslo, thc ufetropoli-of the best camp in Kootenay Is legally and officially 'styled Slocan. Don't forget it. The rifles for the Rifle Club arrived on Saturday. A meeting of tho members will be held this (Thursday) evening at the Arlington Hotel, for the purpose of organization. In the case of Thurston vs Weyl, thc application of R. S. Lennie before the. Nelson court for a commission to tako the evidence, of the defendant and another material witness in Tho trackmen In this vicinity have tiot returned to work. I,-.. . ,. Tenders Wanted.

Jack Anderson has returned from his trip to Winnipeg, Brandon, and other prairie points. The cities arc alive with business as a result ofthe big crops, and prosperity is noticeable everywhere. The forest fire in the Nakusp pass is doing a great deal of damage, while another near the Payne mine is making things interesting in that section. The whole country is enjoying a smoke. Fred Wright, purser on the Slocan, has been transferred to the Kokiinee, on Kootenay lake. He left on Monday and will be followed shortly by Mrs. Wright and family. They will reside in Kaslo. On Saturday the M. U, General Hospital received $250 from tbe government, being the allowance for maintenance for the quarter ending Sept. 30. The appropriation to the building fund is expected shortly. Mayor York has called a public meeting in the council chamber, on Monday night, to discuss the advisa bility of organizing a board of trade. There is certain to be a big attend ance. A membership roll will be circulated, and later on a meeting of those signing will beheld for electing officers. Married.—In St. Paul's church, on Aug, 12, by Rev. C Arthur Mount, George Ager to Miss Maud Carkctt, After the ceremony a tasty supper was served to the wedding party at thc Arlington.
