The long drouth had interfered somewhat with the development of vegetable?, dmd the plebiscite and lack of sports prevent* ed many from visiting. Nevertheless, in many ways the show was a success. The farmers and 'heir ��������� familes were generally present from Comox Bay to Black Creek, and Cumberland and Union contributed quite a number of visitors, but not nearly, so many as o������������ j A1' 1 v' ft tomary. . In the yard there Snere horses, shetp (some very good ones), swine, chickeof, ���������' * '1 ducks, geese, turkeys, and a fair lot,of cattle, perhaps the best' seen here since . j- - * . / first exhibition. Once inside the [ exhibition building there was much to attract \"attention. 1 < ��������� , y - > The di jplay of butter was the largest and finest ever exhibited here, and that is saying a good deal. Thc exhibit amply maintained the reputation of Comox District as one of the very be*t dairy ace* tions of the province and if there had' been nothing else would have compease- ted for the trouble of a,visit. A cheese mariufactured.by Mr. A. Ur> quhart was much and favorably commented on. It was a No; 1, and il is to be hoped he may go into the business of cheesemaking on an extensive scale. 1 The vegetables left' nothing to be de-'' 1 \" \" 1 * ������ V b> sired in that line, except quantity; still there was sufficient for a good show. One long table was filled with fruit, large, shapely, and of. fine. texture���������ap- ������������������' /v ��������� pies, pears,, plums, etc -,.:��������� . - _ Bottled fruit and jams were' not extensive, but the exhibit was good... The disr play of bottled fruit by M rs. Duncan ******* was es pecially worthy of mention. Plants and flowers were, as usual, attractive, and the large box of roses exhibited by Mrs. Little were admired not only for their beauty but more especially for their fragrance, which wf������ noticeable for quite a distance. The splendid exhibit of bread, cakes, tarts, etc., artistically arranged was tbe subject of much praise and well deserved it. . H. C. Lucas exhibitor. Of ladies' work there was much quite- creditable. Among , the useful was a specimen of darning by Mrs. ��������� Berkeley, It would hive been a feather tn the cap of some single lady had she\"* carried off* prize for this kind of work. Mrs. Ostrander, milliner of Cumberland, exhibited two pieces of embroidery ���������not in competition���������which were greatly admired for skill in execution. The designs were wrought out so as to be quite effective. And the fine arts! The specimens exhibited were honored with; considerable attention, and richly merited A fruit piece by Miss Sarah Lewis, consisting of oranges, \"lemons, arranged on a 1 able with glass of lemonade standing near, and a second piece representing a work table. These were true to nature, showing Miss Lewis possesses not only much natural artistic ability but has also been admirably trained. It is needle-s-to say she took first prizes���������for drawing and also for painting. Mr.-Gardiner, first mate on the Cjrty of Nanaimo, received first prize for a pastel nnd was honored with second prize for drawing. The drawing might be called \"A view of the beach near Beacon Hill n Those who have been there would instantly recognize that most pleasant spot. His. second piece-Tpastel���������might be denominated, \"A view taken at Sunset.\" Mr. Gardiner appears to be a natural born artist, as be has never been under an instructor.

Larry, who endures* the pain of his broken arm with the grim heroism of a martyr. Meanwhile, since it is Avis who carries the precious packet,it is eminently proper that wo follow her in thc brave endeavor she makes to mold circumstances. The conductor leads her to where the engine awaits them. Jn the gray \"dawn the scone is most distressing, of the wreck presents nn aspect of ruin, though in reality it is the freight that makes most of the debris, thc cars of the lightning express being simply 'derailed, blocking all tracks. , ; No one has boon killed, as far as known, but many arc injured. It ,is strange that an engine is clear of the wreck, but so it happens This 4s the locomotive about to be sent to,.Harrisburg for assistance, running about on the time of' the express.. ' ; The conductor speaks a few 'Sentences to those ou board tho huge engine,-and tlie hearty,.ypice of the driver is heiird. \"Mako way here, boys, for Doctor Jack's wife. It isn't a pleasant ride for ;\\ lady,'but'since she must reach Harrisburg, we'll take, hor there.\" Thus the works of Jack' Evans bear ���������fruit.\"- He is known to this engineer by reputation. .. What lie has clone .abroad'to win his' wife has not been hidden under a bushel. . '.- , -.',���������. -a ''���������'������������������' Avis is helped aboard, and given a seat beside.the fireman, who has one arm in a rude sling, as though he received������some damage in the wreck. They are off! The great iron-engine rushes down the track like'a monster of life. To Avis it is a. new and decidedly novel sensation. Under other circumstances she might experience something of alarm, but now as they'seem to \"fairly leap forward through space, the only feeling she has is one of exultation at the thought of annihilating distance. Every mile which they, leave behind brings her so much closer to New York. --��������������������������������������������� ;��������� -She sits there, holding on firmly, for the engine jumps, and rocks until.; it seems to be almost on the point of turning over. That wild ride Avis Evans will never forget so long as she lives ner neart up.-.. were the dangers of her ���������venturesome journey twice as numerous, yet- wouldishe proceed. .< ; . -��������� . 1 As tho morning draws, on .apace, ,and darkness disappears she can see\" the wide Susquehanna on hftr left. *,The air ns frosty,and yet in the engine cjjb, with the windows' closed, it is very comfortable. t \"Avis'looks'around. Up to^thisttime.she has been , wholly engrossed % with ( her thought's,'while'her gaze has������������������ been-* fas;\" teneel outside. _,.,',' - .- ** , ��������������� ' t ! She discovers that she is not the only passenger who goes to* Harrisburg ,by special engine. , Several men are aboard, and* her eyes fall upon* one''after another iwith a'somewhat uneasy feeling. * ��������� ���������' .The firs,t face,she sees is the red One of ^Lord Rackettr who bows and smiles, yet .does not'come to speak to her. |, Beside him is Colonel Garcia, the agent of the syndicate, 'against'whbm \"Doctor Jack, has pitted himself. Two others aro .present, and Avis conceives a suspicion 'that, judging from their black looks and 'general,-appearance, they,.-, are ,,Chilians. JThis sdrprises her, because Jack has felt j confident'that' all'their enemies,-save the\" \" Briton and the South American ^colonel, had been left far behind in the mad iace /against time. - . 1>fL ��������� The more she watches' these men th'e stronger becomes her belief that there lhas been some-miscalculation made. She sees Garcia, look at her closely, and speak to one of these fnen who, in turn, probably communicates the intelligence to'his companion. ,..,,< ^ . . Doctor .Tack;s .wife . is quick to recognize'tho gravityJof the situation.' She carries on her person documents that -,it would be worth a million dollars' to' the syndicate these men represent, could they 1 secure them. That'is what Colonel Garcia, the unscrupulous Chilian, has - come thousands of nifles to accomplish���������rthat is why he is hero.;> Four men against one frail woman. It looks as though the packet might be in greater danger now than ever before. Doctor Jack's wife carries on her per son. however, an antidote for this evil. Sho is armed, and her husband has taught her how-to use a revolver in an emergency. Witli one hand she holds to the rail. The other is lost amid the folds of her\" dress. * Thus they plunge on toward Harrisburg. Every mile left behind lessens the dahger she feels hovering over 'her. It seems to_ nerve the men who plot against her to desperation. Their 'progress is such that in less than an hour they will cross the long bridge spanning the Susquehanna, and enter the capisal. Whatever is to be done must be accomplishec.' speedily. Avis knows a crisis is near. She sees one of the Chilians move up until he is just behind the engineer. Tho second fellow is talking with the\" fireman. Lord Rackett holds back as though he would have nothing to do with the matter, having washed his hands of it at the time of the wreck. Hence,it devolves upon Garcia to take the leading part. ' The warning whistle sounds Yery often as they sweep down the grade like a whirlwind. Men rush to the doors of cottages, nestled under -the hill sides, to gaze in wonder at the remarkably swift passage,of the .wild-cat engine. They do, not understand what . it means, for, of course' no news- of the wreck has as yet been-sent along the line. When the Chilian colonel 'L crosses to where Avis sits,, she knows the time has come- He will demand the packet, and threaten, violence in case it is refused. As he has apparently the power at hand to carry out his words, it looks at though triumph might at.last come to his * banner. . - He counts without taking one tiling, in to'reckoning)/and this the fact that tlie woman he. intends to rgb is Doctor Jack's wife. Long association with that daring mail has given Avis some of his spirit. Now Garcia is in front of her Upon his face, can be seen a mocking smile, and back of this the strong passions he strives to control. \"Senora, you sec that fortune has placed you in my hands. I control this engine. You carry something I have come from \"Valparaiso to secure. I must possess it. Avoid trouble, then, and hand it over to me. I will give you my word to leave you at oboe.\" BEETHOVEN'S \"BIRTHPLACE.. '\"',5 ifi\"?/ An American Biography of the Compos**. ,s K -;t JFlrst Awakened Interest in Bonn. ' ' Mr. H. E.
