carefully, often stopping long enough to test the particular object with bis teeth, or even to bend it.At the same time lis actions were quiet, and, one might say, reserved.He did not appear to care to be noticed.He was a rather (all young fellow, \u201ccarelessly dressed,\u201d as they say in novels, and had a pale face, like a student\u2019s.One might, indeed, have thought him a poor student were it not for his eyes, which inetead of looking tired and dreamy like & student's, were exceedingly active and restless.On the whole, his face snd his general appearance were not prepossessing, In&çed, the policeman on the beat most frequented by Mr.Callaghan in social life reported him at the precinct house as \u2018\u2018& general tough\u2014suspicious.\u201d Mr.Callaghan, though very young, had already learned the value of exceeding caution.Hence he was almost noieeless, and he inspected the silverware in the very mild light of a half open lantern.A bappy smile played around the corners of Lis face the while, for the silverware he was examining proved to be one of the finest and newest, and bore the monogram of a famous New York family.For that matter, the entire surroundings of Mr.Callaghan at the time were of the richest.The very sideboard at which he labored was worth a emall fortune, and the cut glass upon it looked very beautiful in the mellow light.There were rich tints in some of the glassware, occasioned by their contents, but Mr.Callaghan did not stop to examine them.He did not believe in drinking during business hours.\u2018The time was something after midnight.Mr.Callaghan was aroused from his pre-occupation by a faint click.It sounded very much like the click of a trigger as a revolver cocked.It was a trifle startling, but he did not.lose his presence of mind.He faced around like a flash, and turned off the rays of his dark lantern.He knew it was almost useless to {ake the latter precaution, however, for he was yell informed, and he knew that in the houses of the rich of to day it required but the pressing of a button to turn on a full stream of electric lights throughout an entire floor.The sudden burst of light came just as he expected it would, and as it did so he heard a voice -say, \u2018Don\u2019t dare to move.\u201d He was more startled by the voice than Le was by the sudden glare of electric lights, for it was the voice: of a young girl.Mr.Oallaghan blinked a few times, took a good look, and then his thin face broadened a trifle into a smile.At the other end of the room stood a very pale bul resolute girl in a pink wrapper.She beld a little gold mounted revolver with a calibre so small that Mr.Callaghan, but for his natural politeness, would have laughed st it outright, and she was bitivg her lip, for she was sappar- ently very nervous.The revolver was pointed in Mr.Callaghan\u2019s direction, but, alas !.the hand that held it was shaking very perceptibly.Callaghan grinned.\u2018Isn't it rather late for you to be out!\u201d he asked her.\u201cDon\u2019t dare to move she replied.\u201cI know precisely what to do.Papa told me before be went away.I am going to send the burglar alarm and Lave you arrested.Then you will Le sent 10 state prison.\u201d \u201cWell,\u201d almost laugbed Mr.Calla- ghban, \u201cwhy don\u2019t you do it?I am waiting.\u201d \u201cBecause,\u201d she answered, bhesilat- ingly\u2014*\u2018because you are standing in front of it.\u201d \u201cOh, am I?\u201d answercd Callaghan.\u201cThen I'll move away.I always like to be polite to ladies.\u201d He moved away a few steps.She frowned a little hit.Then she said : \u2018Excuse me.Will you please move a little further ?\u201d \u201cCertainly,\u201d he answered; \u201c\u2018anything to oblige a real lady.\u201d She stepped toward the alarm, which Callaghan had not until then perceived, and stretched forth her hand.She wus about to turn the little handle, when Callaghan said, hastily: \u201cHold on a minute.Do yon think that would be a nice thing to do?\u201d \u201cOf course it would,\u201d she answered.\u201cJust tbiok about it & moment,\u201d Callaghan continued, \u2018If you do that, I'll be arrested, and sent up for fifteen or tweoly years.Fifteen or twenty years in a little coll all by myself, with no one to talk to and nothing to do\u2014except break stone for my health.Now I don\u2019t care anything about it myself.Of course I haven't got away with any of tho silver, and therefore there isn\u2019t any wrong done you\u2014is there?I tried to, but you have got the best of me, and you are awfully brave little girl to do it, too.Just think of yourself during the next fifteen or twenty years, if you had me sent up, Every day you'll be thinking about the poor (fellow who's doing time because vou made him, and every night you'll be laying awake crying because you made him suffer so much for such a little thing, and every time the minister in your charch says anything about forgiving he means you, and\u2014\" She broke in\u2014*I think I'll let you go.\u201d She said it very earnestly.Callaghan laughed aloud.**Thal's right\u201d he said.*\u2018I knew you would, for 1 knew you were & lady the minute I saw you.1 didn't mean what I said.Probably in & month you'd forget all about me.No one remembers a fellow who's doing time but the police and the detectives.I was just trying to experiment.Do you think I was afraid of your little I've been shot twice by real revolvers.IC you bad tried to sound the burglar-alarm do Jou know what I'd have dome?I'd ave made a Jump for you, and I'd have liad my hands about your throat > before you could have winked.1! you had fired the revolver you would have missed me.Girls can\u2019t shoot.\u201d He said this last almost contemptuously ; but Le was sorry a moment afterwards, for he noticed that che was growing very white and very frightened too.Nevertheless, he continued: \u2018\u2018And after I'd got my hands about your neck, and you couldn't scream, or struggle or shoot, what do you suppose I'd have done?\u201d She did not reply.She could not speak.She was trembling violently.\u201cI'd have\u2014l\u2019d bave\u201d\u2014he was em- baraeecd, and be actually blushed\u2014 Callaghan blushed\u2014**I'd have kissed vou,\u201d he said, wilh an cffort, \u2018\u2018and then I'd have gone away.Bul you needn't look frightened any longer.I ain't going to hurt you, nor I ain't going to kise you ; for some day you'd be ashamed of it, and you'd be ashamed to tell your sweetheart that Rocky Callaghan kissed you.And I ain't a-going lo lake anything that belongs to this house, although I could right before your eyes.I'm just a-going peaceably home.\u201d He started to walk toward the window by which he had entered.As he did so, however, be looked at her critically, stopped, and said, \u2018You're going to hold out just about until l\u2019m gone, then you are going to faint.l\u2019il fix it.\u201d He stepped deliberately to the sideboard and poured out a glass of wine.\u2018\u2018Here,\u201d he said, \u2018\u2018drink this, and then go up stairs to.bed as quick as you can.I'll lock the window after I go out.\u201d She took the wine with a frightened \u201cThank you\u201d, and drank it.Mr.Callaghan turned to leave.\u2018\u201cThat brings the red back in your cheeks,\u201d he said.\u2018It\u2019s a good thing when not taken during business hours.Now I'm going, but I want you to remember that I am not afraid of the burglar-alarm or the little revolver.I'm not going to rob you, because\u2014 because you are so brave, and because you are so pretty.I sort of hate to make a failure of a job, and I guess the buys will guy me a bit for it; bat you are too pretty.\u201d Saying which, Mr.Callaghan climbed nimbly through the window and disappeared.\u2014[ Harper\u2019s Weekly.\u2014.\u2014 An Experience with a Burglar.\u201cI bal à queer'expericace wilh a burglar in a Minneapolis hotel during the Republican Convention,\u2019 said Fred E.Wadeli at the Southern.\u2018When I retired I turned the key, but wilhout having the door quite closed, and, es a result, tbe bolt did not enter the lock.About 2 o\u2019clock I was uwak- ened by a slight noise.A street light shone into my room, and I could plainly see a man rifling my pockets.I bad both watch and purse under my pillow but was unarmed.IX at first thought 1 would not take chances of getting hurt by molesting the fellow, but when I saw him coolly appropriate a scarf- pin that my wife had given me I immediately changed my mind and said to him very quietly, \u2018I guess you don\u2019t need that.\u201d He started toward the door, but a spirit of recklessness had seized me, and I ordered him to stop.Evidently thinking me armed, he did so.He was standing near an open window and held a small revolver in his hand.I told him to throw it into the street, and he did so.I then made Lim turn on the light, and he looked surprised and relieved to find that T was not pointing a pistol at iim.He was rather a good-looking young fellow, and did not at all resemble a criminal.He admitted that this was not his first offense, however.He was a clerk in a Minneapolis dry goods house, and had got into a way of living which his salary would not support.He sat down on the foot of the bed and talked it all over with me.He was very pale, and his chin quivered a little, but he did not do the baby act.He said be supposed he would get a couple of years at Still- water, and that he deserved it.I sat up in bed and read him a lecture, then told him to go and sin no more.My words appeared to touch him.He shook my hand, thanked me for my forbearance and leftme.I slept with a clear conscience until 8 o\u2019clock,then I awoke to find that watch, purse and diamond scarf-pir were all gone.He touched me deeper than I did him.I was so mortified that I did not report my loss, but if I ever meet that smooth-faced,

Providence Journal) The moons of Mars wete discovered a few years ago through the telescope of the naval observatory at Washington by Prof.Asaph Hall, He will be actively interested in the observations of that planct and its new-found satal- lites, which will be made in August next by astronomers all over the world.Since the discovery of the moons in 1887, this is the first opportunity afforded for examining them, inasmuch as they are so small as to be perceptible only at close range.Once in every 15 years Mars reaches ite nearest point to the earth.Eight weeks hence it will be within 85,000,- 000 miles of us, whereas its greatest distance is 142,000,000 miles.Great interest attaches to the matter, because this sister world is so much like our own in respect to climate and other conditions that it may reasonably be supposed to be inhabited.There are at least 20 moons in the solar system, Saturn alone has eight, the biggest of them, Titan, being nearly twice the size of our owp, and Jupiter possesses four, ranging in dimensions upward from Europa.just about as large as the orb of terrestial night, to Ganymede, greatest of all known moons, with a diameter of 5480 miles, whereas the moon that belongs to this world is only 2160 miles through.Though our moon is supposed to be dead and cold, similar conditions are not assumed to govern all the satellites of the sister planets.Some of these pertaining to Jupiter are believed to emit light of their own, showing that they are still bot.However, astronomers are usually eager to find evidence of life on other spheres, even discovering on the earth\u2019s attendant orb apparent {races of mighty works of engineering artifice\u2014the imagined creation of races being long extinct\u2014such as the stupendous bridge that appears to span a crate: of the moon volcano called Eudoxus.Eclipses are eyery day affairs on Jupiter.Three of its satellites are eclipsed at every revolution of that mighty globe, so that a spectator there might witaess during the jovian year 4500 eclipses of moon and about the same number of the sun by moons.One of Saturn\u2019s moons called Mimas, about half the size of the earth's satellite, is so close to the planet in its circling that it seems to cross the face of the latter at an astonishing rate of speed.Of the scven others, Titan has a diameter of 3300, Iapetus 1800 miles, Rhea 1200 miles, Dione and Thetys cach 500 miles, while Encelae dus end Hyperion are very little fellows.Several of them in the sky together, with the flaming ring of star dust stretched athwart the leaveuns, must make a gorgeous spectacle by night on the Saturnian sphere.Through the tcloscope it is very interesting to watch the shadows thrown upon Jupiter by that giant planet's moons, observation of the eclipses of which furnished the first data for estimating the velocity of light.Uranus had four little moons\u2014 Ariel, Umbriel, Titania and Oberon\u2014which, funuily enough, rise in the north and set in the south.A single diminutive one, belonging to Neptune, traverses the sky from southwest to northeast.Neither Mercury ner Venus has any eat- eilites.But the most interesting of all moons are tbe two that attend Mars, each about 60 miles in diameter.That planet is just one half the size of the earth ; its surface is divided into continents and seas, having as much land as water ; it has an atmosphere, clouds frequently concealing its face, and its seasons are about the same as here, though the waters are colder.Because oue of its moons travel around it three times as fast as Mars itself (urns, it appears to rise in the west apd set in the east, while the other, really circling in the same direction at a speed slower rises in the east and sets in the west.Thus both moons are seen in thie heavens at the same time, going opposite ways.Oue of the most remarkable guesses on record was made -by Dean Swift, who, a century before the moons of Mars were discovered, made Gulliver say of the astronomers of Lapuia: \u2018They have found two satellites which revolve about Mars, whereof the innermost is distant from the planet exact- Iy three dinmeters of the planet; the former revolves in the spaca of ten hours, and the latter in 21§ hours.\u201d In fact, the latter moon is 10,000 miles from Mars, whereas\u2014tbe diam- etor of the planet being 4000 miles\u2014 Gulliver's estimate would place it 12,- 000 miles.For the outer moon he gives 20,000 miles for the distance, which is really 15,000 miles.The time of revolution for the inner moon is actually seven and a half hours and for the outer one 80 hours.Prof.Hall bas named these moons Deimos and Phobos, after the altandants of the god Mars, who are mentioned in Homer's \u201cIlliad.\u201d

there ie no reason to believe that the disease is not well in band.Itis not pretended that this disease was brought by the Chinese by the \u201cEmpress of Japan\u201d s short time ago.\u2018The disease was known to have existed in Victoria previously ; and early as the end of May last the Minister of Agriculture was applied to in order to allow the hospital at the Albert Head quarantine station to be used for the isolation by the city of a case of smallpox, which, subject to the approval of the quarantine officers, was granted.Since the amendment of the law in 1872 public health has been relegated Lo the several provinces to desl with, the Dominion Government taking charge only of the quarantines, that is, the introduction of disease into the country.It is, therefore, for the local Governments to desl with all questions of outbreaks of disease iu the several provinces; and for the most part the provinces have, Dow well-organized boards of public ealth.GOOD CROPS AT

officials of the department have not said much about the \u2018movements of the Government cruisers on the gulf of St Lawrence, although to a few it was known that the \u201c\u2018Acadia\u201d and \u2018La Canadienne\u201d had been ordcred up the gulf to assial the *\u201cConstance\u201d in endeavoring to catch the smuggler who defied the last named vessel over a week ago.Mr.Gordon feared that the bold Bouchard koowing that the cruisers would be after him, would either land his cargo of contraband spirits at points on An- ticosti island or else tranship to other schooners.\u2018The latter theory has proved correct, for while Bouchard himself bas not been caoght Captain Wakeham yesterday gathered in the sdhoonerant¥¥illie™ ~ of Quebee, with\u201c part of Bouchard\u2019s cargo on board.Capt.Blouin of the Willie\u2019 confessed that he had got the lignor from Bou- chard, and states moreover that Bou- chard\u2019s unknown vessel is the **Busy\u201d of Quebec.The department officials hope that in a day or two to receive the news of her capture.The \u201c\u2018Constance\u201d will call at Rimouski to-night where she will receive orders to proceed to Gaspe to obtain a frrther supply of ammunition,afterwhich it is likely the men of B Battery will return to Quebec.INSPECTION OF CHEESE.Prof.Robertson, dairy commissioner, and Mr.Miall, commissioner of inland revenue, were in Montreal on Wednesday and conferred with the cheese exporters there in regard to the proposed cheese inspection regulations.At Brockville the two gentle- wen met 150 dairymen on the subject, and a committee of five experts was appointed by the Brockville board to confer with the Government represent- stives as soon as the Montreal meet- {ng is finished.> OF INTEREST TO CATTLE SHIPPERS.The Department of Marine has just issued a circular of paramount interest to the cattle export trade.It contains an order in council recently passed, amending section 8 of the Live Stock Shipping Act, as follows : \u201cConvenient and suitable stowage shall be provided under deck for the feed of cattle; but bay to the extent of 50 pounds for each head of cattle for consumption in the river and gulf of St Lawrence, may be stowed on deck properly covered, and must be the first hay used.The inspector must be satisfied as to the quality of the food and water provided for the cattle.Hay must be in balea and the grain in bage, and bales and bags must be marked in a legible manner with the name of the person who ships the cattle for which the feed is intended, and the cattle-shipper shall furnish the inspector with a statement of the quantity of hay and grain supplied by him, and the number of cattle shipped by him for the intended voyage.\u201d Tre WeLsn Toxcus.\u2014The author of \u2018Yorkshire Folk Talk\" tells an amusing story of an English bishop's struggles to master the Welsh tongue.He had been appointed to tbe Welsh sec of St.David, and, on taking up his abode in Wales, engaged a native Welsh scholar to give him instruction in the language.The pronunciation, and especially the Ill, bothered the bishop, and the Welshman was almost at his wits eud to explain the lingual process by which the formidable sound was to be uttered.At lasta bright idea struck him, and, being very obsequious in mauner, he thus addressed the bishop: *\u2018Your lordship must please put your episcopal

be interesting to those of the readers of the JoumwaL, especially the members of the W.C.T.U.who have not seen it as it brings to the front the noble work of one of our women of the Eastern Townships, whose broad work has made a name snd a place for her in the hearts of Dominion Educationists as well as W.C.T.U.workers.It shows more clearly than ever the need of the trains ing in our ecliools of the eflects of nar- cotice, including tobacco.There is still a vast field to cultivate.Mrs.Noyes writes in a private letter that many thousand pages of literature were given away at that Convention.H.M.E.TO SMOKE OR NOT TO SMOKE?But the interest of the session culminated in the discussion of paper on Compulsory Scientific Temperance Instruction in our schools by Mrs.J.P.Noyes of Waterloo, P.Q.Mrs.Noyes is the superintendent of this department of workin the Dominion W.C.T.U., and brings to it not only an earnest purpose but a strong enthusiasm.A trained teacher herself she speaks with a full knowledge of ber subject.She epoke strongly in beginning of \u201cthe accumulated mass of heredity, predisposing the children of this generation to the use of stimulants and narcotics.\u201d Some one she said had compared each individual to an omnibus in which all his forefathers ride, and the craving for stimulants 1n any one of us was to often one of these an- cesters getting the reins in bis own hands and driving the life to destrue- tion.This being the case how great was the need of showing a child the danger.The subject must be taken up io our public schools.The art of imparting scientific temperance instruction, even to the youngest scholar, should be carefully studied by every teacher.This instruction must be begun in the lowest grades of the schools, for statistics show that at least fifty per cent.of oar children left school before entering the higher classes.The books Mrs.Noyes especially recommended were the \u2018Pathfinder Series,\u201d published

moderate use of alcohol was not iuju- rious and quite failing to show how the taking of a little leads to the strong craving for more.At present, in the United States, there were 12,- tific temperance instruction.A good deal had been done in the matter in Canada, and very much remained still to be done.They must not rest satisfied until this subject was on the same footing as any other in our schools.Mrs.Noyes\u2019 déffunciation of tobacco was just as strong and caused not a litlle stir among her sudience as the after discussion showed.The chairman remarked that all gentlemen might not agree with her, but, of course, all the teachers would.Mr.Walton, the secretary, said that the chairman put many of them in a false position when he asserted that the teachers neither drank por smoked.He, himself, smoked, and he hoped the time would never come be would give up bis pipe.He found ita great restorer.Still he had not formed the habit till he was twenty, and he believed tobacco, especially the cigarette, worked some mischief to small children.Mr.Munro, of Ottawa, said he considered they owed a debt of gratitude to Mrs.Noyes for so presenting the snbject, and to the ladies of the W.C.T.U.for what progress had already been mude along this line.He could not agree with the last speaker.Any teacher who used tobacco he considered not fit to aseociate with children.They had not suitable text books on this subject, but he earnestly oped they soon would have.Even in Ontario the teaching was not done systematically asthe W.C.T.U urged.It was only taught when the teacher happened to be in love with his subject.Here a Spanish gentleman rose aad indignantly protested against the sentiments of Mr.Munro.A man who smoked was as much a gentleman as one who did not.Whirling around excitedly, and waving a cigarette held between his thumb and fore-finger, he begged some one to tell him what harm they could find in that little thing! Why, even Indies smoked! He smoked, but he ventured to say that not more than six boys out of the bundrede in his school knew that he did.Mr.Mono ventured to say that there would not be found in that school six boys who did not know that their teacher smoked.No man could smoke, however secretly, without being detected.The smell of his breath and clothes, no matter how careful he was, would always betray him.Mr.McJanet, of Ottawa, declared earnestly ttat this matter had been left too much to the ladies, and he wished here to put himself on record av their hearty supporter.Every teacher, he maintained, should be à living text book on this matter.It was abeurd to think that a man who drank and smoked conld teach this subjoct.One man free from these vices could do more with ove look than could be done by any amount of teaching by one who did not believe what be said.He differed with the gentleman who found such solace in a pipe ; those who did not use it never needed it.The man who smokod was not a gentleman in the highest sense of the term, neither was the woman who used it a lady.A man addicted to an evil habit might advise against it, but hiv words contradicted by his example, would have very little effect.life in his own hands, 20 0 speak.+) » A good man might use tobac09, but be ov 000,000 chldféih under regulaf eciem would be a much better man without it.It soiled the body, and when the body was soiled the soul was smirched too Mr.Watson strongly objected to the sssertion that a woman who smoked could not be considered a lady, but Mr.McJanet maintained that that was bis opinion.Another gentleman considered euch a slatement as that much too strong, but thought that the W.C.T.U.by their vigorous action in this matter bad struck the nail on the head.Every one knew that as the twig was bent so the tree grew.It was almost universally found that no man who smoked wished Lie sos to acquire the habit.A point not yet touched on in the discussion was the fact that tobacco so often led to craving for strong drink.(\u2018\u2018Hear, hear,\u201d deep svd strong from all sides of the house.) It was then moved by Mr.Munro, seconded by Mr.McJanet, and carried by acclamstion that, In the opinion of this association all teachers should use every effort, both by precept and example, to discountenance the use of alcohol and narcotics among both pupils and teachers.A Brooklyn preacher who has been considerably advertised of late related an incident last Sabbath which many people may not yet have heard.He said that a man who had not been to church in a very long time finally hearkened to the persuasions of his wife and decided to go.He got the family all together and started early.Arriving at the church there were yet very few people in it and no ushers on hand, 60 the man led his family well up the aisle and took possession of a nice pew.Just as the services were about to begin a pompous looking old man came in, walked to the door of that pew and stood there, exhibiting evident surprise that it was occupied.The occupants moved over and offered him room to sit down, but he declined to be seated.Finally the old man produced a card and wrote upon it with a pencil : \u201cI pay for this pew.\u201d He gave the card to the stranger occupant, who, the preacher remarked, had he been like many people, would have at once got up and left.But the stranger adjusted his glasses, and, with a smile, read the card.Then be calmly wrote beneath it : \u2018How much do you pay?\u201d To this inquiry the pompous gentie- man, still standing, wrote abruptly : 48200 a year, sir.\u201d ™ The stranger smiled as though he were pleased, looked around to compare the pew with others, admired its nice cushions and furnishings, and wrote back : \u201cI don\u2019t blame you.It is well worth it.\u201d \u2019 The pompous gentleman at that stage collapsed into his seat.\u2014[N.Y.Commercial Advertiser.\u2018From the Prairie City.A recent dispatch from Winnepeg says that a deputy marshall and several Dakota officers attempted to kidnap a farmer named Mills, who came to Manitoba some time ago from Dakota; leaving, it is alleged several unpaid claims.They broke.into his house in the middle of the night, and when the Canadian mounted police came to Mills rescue they opened fire.Warrants have now been issued for these officials on charges of robbery and attempting to kill, and the Dominion Government may be asked to apply for their extradition.The city of Winnepeg and the province of Man{ioba is now entirely given evar to politics and the election excitement is at fever heat.The agitation for the abolition of the separate schools and the establishment of a national system is the cause of a great deal of the bitteruess, but the cry is undoubtedly gaining many votes for Premier Greenway and his candidates.The Opposition, howeyer, bave put forward good men and a close fight may be expected on Saturday.The weather throughout Manitoba is very warm with occasional showers, but just the right weather for growing crops, which are coming up rapidly.The farmers of the country, particularly those who only settled here this year, ars jubilant over the prospects.1t is safe to say tbat nothing can now prevent & bountiful barveet.Found at Last.\u2014Mrs.Means (over the morning newspaper)\u2014\u2018\u2018 What a hidcous name!

highly respectable man and a steady workman, she resolved to give up the anfortanate habit.She kept her pledge faithfully, but on the above mentioned morning, after Mr.Grant had left for his work, she became suddenly insane.She first proceeded to smash the furniture in the house, bot the two eldest children running shrieking into the street alarmed the neighbors.The two younger ones, a boy 3 years

were most brutally treated by tbe rioters, although they were promised good treatment if they would surrender their arms.They farther explained that their men were divided into iwo classes, private watchmen aod detectives.The work of the watchmen was to protect private as well as corporate property when required.Detectives were engaged to ferret out crimes and criminals, in which they bad been very successful.The watchmen class were employed very largely by individuals, baoks and corporations.Both of these employments were honorable and necessary.\u2018They had expected that their wen sent

Mr.Leishman, who had an office adjoining Mr.Frick\u2019s.Suddenly a stranger entered the office and both gentlemen looked up to see who the intruder was.The intruder sprang within a few feet of Mr.Frick,\u201d drew a revolver and pulled the trigger, but the cartridge did not explode ; the second shot entered the back of Mr.Frick\u2019s neck,and glancing downwards passed to the outside below the armpit.Mr.Frick umped to raise a window, but did not- succeed ; tue assailant pressed forward cloge to Frick and fred agaln, the ball entering the muscle on the left side of the neck and passed around under the right ear.At this moment Mr.Leishman sprang upon (be assassin and tiied to take away tbe revolver,and succeeded in turning the muzzle upward as the third shot was fired.With great celerily the assassin then drew a dagger and atlempted to stab Leishman, who was trying to hold him.Mr.Frick, although bleeding profusely, sprang betweco the men aod seized the assailant\u2019s arw.The latter freed himself from Leishman\u2019s bold and plunged bis dagger into Frick\u2019s right side just above the hip, cuttiog an ugly wound three inches long.He then struck another blow bigber up but the blade struck a rib and glanced down without inflicting a dangerous wound.By this time the office boy snd deputy sheriff Mayo entered tbe office and the officer would have shot the assassin but Mr.Frick told him to leave him for the law to deal with, 80 they took him to the police station, where he was locked up.In a few minutes Mr.Frick was in the bands of the surgeons, who removed the bullets and stopped the bleeding, and after taking a sedative soon fell into a quiet sleep.Soon after 7 o'clock he was removed to his home, aod wes resting quietly, the doctors having dressed another cat found ca his leg below the knee.The priscocr was searched and nothing found on Lis person bat à few cartridges aod a wetch.À eurious wovement of hie jaws led the police to examine

manager, Alfred Musy, aseigned on tbe 12th of July, with liabilities of some $60,000 and assets of but $9,800.The company was supposed to be composed of a syndicate of wealthy French capitalists among thew the Baron de Selliere, and some other titled notables.The capital of this syndicate was placed at $4,000,000, and it was to revolutionize the sugar industry of the Dominion.Tbe factory was started near the end of 1889, but was closed down a short time the first year.It produced a granulated sugar called the \u2018\u201cFarpham Chrystalized,\u201d which had a fair sale at a litile below ordinary market values.The business was mostly done in the name of Alfred Musy, who was, it is now said, but tbe figure head, ent out from Paris by the syndicate.His salary and commissions amounted to about $4,000 per year.Baron Sel- liere lived at Faroham at that time and gave close attention to the business, and for a time business was said to be paying.Last year he is credited with baving drawn out some 38000 alleged profits.The account goes on to dip into the history of de Selliere as follows : Baron Raymond de Selliere comes of a very wealthy and titled French family, aud a number of years ago was left a considerable fortune, amounting it is said, to several millions vf francs.He was most extravagant aad lived in 8 style of maganifi- cence in 8 magnificent mansion in the Champs Elysee.He was brother to the Princess Sagan, whose palace, it will be rememb.red, the anarchists attempted to destroy with a dynamite bomb at the time of the Ravachol riots, The Baron went through his money rapidly.He first came to America in 1888, visiting in the Stales, New York and San Francisco.In these cities the Baron cut a wide swath.He moved in the best society, was received and courted everywhere, and spent his money like water.He finally reached Montreal after having got rid of some $20,000 in pursuit of all the fashionable gaieties.The Baron was well introduced in Montreal, and for a while continued his rapid career bere.During this visit Baron de Sel- liere attempted to purchase the Ber- thier beet root factory, aud at that time he claimed that the syndicate who controlled the factory agreed to sell it to hiw, and aflerwards went back on their promise.The Baron became sick here, and returned to France, where he was, by the advice of his family incarcerated in the insane asylum at Melus, a short distance outside of Paris.Here the Baron passed several weary months and when he was finally released an examination of his affairs Jiscovered that the greater part of his enormous fortune had been dissipated.A family council was called and the Baron was advised to return to Americas, and in 1889 he again visited Canada.While bere he took in the prospects for the beet root sugar industry, and returning again to France the Baron de Scl- liere succeeded in floating the company which leased tbe Farnham fac- tore.In 1890 the Barun did invest in the property, which was carried on until its failure the other day.He boomed beet sugar for all it was worth, went to Quebec and interviewed the Government, which gave a substantial bounty on the ouiput of the factory, purchased the Berthier refinery, ob- (aining a bonus of 28000 from the municipality, and for a time things went on swimmingly.During bis travels in the States, Baron de Selliere had made the acquaintance of Mre Livermore, a wealthy New York widow, reputed to be worth four million dollars.Mrs.Livermore visited Paris coce or twice, and the acquaintance soon ripened into an engagement.Before leaving for Paris on December of last year Baron de Selliere gave a dinner at the Vienna Cafe to a number of prominent Montreal gentlemen.Congratulatory speeches were made to the Baron on his efforts to revive the beet root sugar industry.The Baron returned to France like a conquering hero, but on coming to New York to claim his bride was, on the 28th of January of this year, capiased at New York on leaviog the steamer.The claim was for some 84000, and it Look the Baron several weeks to get out of the trouble.However, hie was bappily married, and conveyed bis wife and ber money to Paris, where be at present resides.Since his marriage, however, the Baron's interest in the beet root industry has suffered a decline, and he would no longer put up the money necessary tocarry on the business.This it is claimed, is what brought on the downfall of the Farnbam Company.Had the Baron de Selliere advanced only a few thousand dollars, sll difficulty would have been averted.Now that the failure has come, bow- ever, the creditors learn with surprise that the French capitalists whom the persuasive Baron interested in his venture are not responsible for the liabilities at all.They were not incorpors- ted and not registered io Canada, aud therefore Alfred Musy and the Baron de Selliere only can be held responsible by the creditors.The Farnham factory was leased by the Baron from Gault Bros., with a promise of sale.Some four thousand dollars are dee by tbe Baron to the Gaults for rent and balanos on a promissnry note, ard the Baroo ie being sued for this amount.Sails are to be entered by the Bank of St.Jouns 3790 on promiesory note, and by the Ferrier estate $300 rent of the Bairns oitice in Mootreal.Toe machinery of tha factory, one of tbe chief assets, is Dot expected to bring much, as it is out of date, while there is à good desiof manufactared stock in the factory which at present bas no commercial value.The present proprietors of the mills bope to lease it lo otber parties, so that the business can be carried on.contracts bave been given lo farmers in the surrounding country for some ten or twelve thousand tons of beets, and if work is not resumed these will be practically s dead joss to them.The Baron de Selliere is said to bave invested some $25,000 in Canadian railway securities, and he is credited with having a sum to his credit in one of the city banks.Canada's Trade Last Year the Greatest in Her History, Orrawa, July 22.\u2014The statement of the imports and exports for the wonth of June, which will appear in tomorrow's Canada Gazette, shows that the export trade has been over eight millions and a half more than the heaviest year yet previously known, which was 1881, and nearly twenty millions in excess of the average of the last five years.The figures for Jane are $14,188,961, of which $12,- 617,367 was the produce of Canada.This shows an increase of $3,195,290 over last June.The total for the vear is $15,228,868 over last year, and as already stated ia far above any previous year and greatly above the average of the last five years.AN INCREASE IN IMPORTS.Turning to the imports the goods entered for consumption in June were valued at 811,175,530, divided into dutibie, 85,557,151 ; coin and bullion, $370,245; free good, 85,243,140.This shows an increase of $1,878,148 over June last year.For the twelve months tlie total entered for consumption has been $110,476,444, an increase of $2,922,738 over the previous twelve months, These figures will be slightly altered when the fiinal accounts for the year come to be made up, but the alterations will all be in the way of additions, and wili make the increases copsiderably larger all round.Even as they stand the aggregate trade of the Dominion for the past twelve months amounts, on the basis of exported and entered for consumption, to $221,271,816, which is $9,509,396 wore than last year, and $19,602,795 above the average of the last five years.This has been the banner year for Canadian trade, the total as above shown, and which wil! be considerably augmented Loo, being $48,993 in excess of the highest year ever known, which was 1882, when the imports ran up to the abnormal figure of $132,254,022, caused hy the enormous quantity of rails and other goods brought in for the construction of the Capadian Pacific railway.The duty collected in June was

that he bad not been heard from tor some time, arrived at Tangier yesterday on board the British war-ship Amphion.He and the members of his party were received with the customary cercmobies.It is apparent that the sultan Las re-considered bis determination to negotiate a treaty with Great Britain on the basis of having it all his own way.As already stated, after the treaty had been agreed upon by Sir Charles Ewan- Smith and the sultan and was returned from the palace with the sultan\u2019s signature and seal, Sir Charles discovered that certain of the clauses had been nullified by additions that bad been made to them unknown to him.He therefore demanded an explanation, and one ol the wioisters admitted that the u!térations had been made by the sultan\u2019s orders and he offered Sir Charles a bribe to accept them.It is announce] that the grand vizier and several of the sultan\u2019s ministers are expected to arrive soon in Tangier with the object of re-opening negotiations for a new treaty.\u2014e- Abenakis Springs.The following are the arrivals at the Abenakis House for the two weeks ending July 24th: Montreal\u2014J R Pepin, Miss L Pepin, Mrs E Savage, Miss E Savage, M J

occidental thunder, lightning, bail and rain cyclone on a pretty good scale.Barns were burned, telephone poles struck, trees blown down and standing grain prostrated.The saddest part of the whole thing is the death of Mrs.Jeremiah Rushton, of Rushton\u2019s corners, a lady well and favorably known through this township and county.She was in the act of calling up a peighbor\u2019s house by telephone to ascertain if one of her children were safe when the fluid struck and instant- Iy killed her.Mr.Arthur Morgan, of the Howard road, an extensive farmer, had a barn struck and destroyed, includisg this season\u2019s hay crop and other preduce and implements.Ed.Guyatte\u2019s barn on Talbot street was also struck und pattially destroyed.The thunder and lighting was a regular cannonade for over an hour.NEWCASTLE, Ont, July 22.\u2014The severest storm that ever visited this section of the country passed through here this afternoon.It came in the sbape of a hailstorm.It came from the southwest direction and struck the rich farming country of this township, about balf-a-mile east of this village.Numerous fields of wheat were laid flat and many are completely ruined.On a near farm was a handsome new house belonging to a Mr.Andrew Thomas, which suffered terribly from the storm.The hailstones were so large that they broke every one of the large panes of glass on the west side of the house.The storm, after following its course for about half-a-mile further, turned towards tbe lake aod took to the water.It is said by reliable persons that some of the hailstones were as large as hens\u2019 eggs.At any rate they were large enough to do considerable damage.BroonrieLp, Ont, July 22.\u2014A terrifie thunderstorm passed over this place between the hours of 2 and 3 this afternoon.Rain fell in torrents accompanied with bail and with such force as to completely flatten standing grain.Lightning destroyed the telephone wires and iostraments in P.Burr & Sons\u2019 store.Fortunately they bad water on hand to put out the fire as it blazed up from the bex.A young spruce tree in Mr.John Buil's grounds, and within fifteen feet of Alex.McDonald's residence, was also struck.No farther damage was reported.Sir William Harcourt is \u2018\u2018threatening the Lords.\u201d If during the past 800 years the House of Lords bad trembled every time it was threatened, it

she has been doing the same thing for years.There is tang of suggestiveness about this statement; moreover, it is true: Mise Guthrie is not in the first bloom of youth.\u201cWhy, she must be nearly thirty,\u201d some of the younger girls and younger matrons, who envy her none the less the freshness, the grace, the winsomeness that hover about her mobile face; but those who are in position to know and bave no reason to feel the faintest jealousy assert very positively that Nita is not more than twenty-five.Well, why hasn\u2019t she married?\u201d is the instant query of Mrs.Vance, to whose benighted mind it ever appears that because a woman hasn\u2019t she cannot, \u201cSimply because the right man is yet to come,\u201d is Mrs.Harper's equally prompt reply.\u201cNita Guthrie has had more offers in six years than any woman I ever heard of.\u201d «Then there must be something back - of it all,\u201d responds Mra, Vance, whose theories are not to be lightly shaken.\u201cWas there some early affair?\u201d \u201cMy dear Mrs.Vance, I have no doubt 1 could tell yon a dozen stories, all plausible, all in active circulation when last l visited St, Louis and saw hor in society there, and all as near the truth, prod ably, as any we could invent here.Nobody knows but Nita, and she won't tell.\u201d Now as the autumn sun, all red burnished gold, is sinking to the horizon on this final day of a charming and memorable visit, Nita Guthrie is bidding :.dieu with laughing, kindly cordialicy to the little coterie gathered in her honor.To one and all she has the same frank, gracious manner.Over all she throws the same odd magnetic epell, seeming to im- each and every one in turn with the same idea, \u201cNow, you are just the most thoroughly delightful creature 1 have ever met, and I cannot bear to say goodby to you.\u201d There is tho lingering hand clasp, and yet not the faintest sentimentality.Nita's blue eyes\u2014very blue -gage straight into those of her friends.She seems to advance a step or two, as though eager to meet and take by the hand each newcomer.Even the elders among the women find it hard to go, and as for the girls, they linger spellbound; they cluster about her, watching the sunshine in face, the play of her features, the sparkle of her eyes, drinking in her winsome words, her rippling laughter.«It's just the only chance we've had to ourselves, Miss Nita,\u201d protests Winifred Berrien.\u2018You've been surrounded by men all the rest of the time, and we couldn\u2019t see yon now if it weren't that they had to be in stables.Oh, if you only didn\u2019t have to go tonight!\u201d \u201cIndeed, Winnie, I don\u2019t want to go.It seems to me nothing can be more delightful than life in an army post like this.Certainly no girl ever had a butter time anywhare than you havs given me gaged can only wonder how we found it possible to exist in thosedays.Bocial conditions have changed, too, and in the gathering of our troops in larger garrisons a great many of the unpleasant features of the old life have been eliminated entirely.Indeed, 1 wish you might stay and see more of us.But you are coming ugain, are you not?\u201d \u201cIf wishing will bring it about 1 shall be with you again with the coming summer or early in the spring.1 bave promised Mrs.Holden that I will return to her if only for a fortnight.\u201d The enthusiasm excited among the girls and apparently shared by all the women present when this announcement is made ought certainly to convince Miss Gruthrie that they most reluctantly part with her now and most pleasantly anticipate her future coming.The clamor of voices Is such that for a time no one is conscious of tho fact that out on tho parade the regimental line has formed, and that the band is already trooping down the front.Berrien had taken his position as commanding officer.Several subalterns, whose heads were kept rigidly straight to the front, found thelr eyes wandering furtively over toward the major's quarters.In couples and groups & number of the ladies come sauntering forth, gathering opposite the center nearer the colonel\u2019s house, from which point they generally watched the closing ceremony of the day.But still oblivious to eny music but that of her voice a dozen of their number hover about Miss Guthrie.Even gunfire fails to distract their attention.It is not until the major himself returns, tossing off his helmet and tugging at hie waistbelt, that they realize that parade is over and dinner waiting.\u201cNow, you will come back next spring?\u201d \u201cYou will write?\" \u201cYou won°t forget to send me the photograph\u2014mind, cabinet size\u2014Miss Nita?\" \u2018Indeed if ever I got anywhere near St.Louis you'll be the first soul I shall come in search of.\u201d It is a little flock of enthusiastic army girls surrounding her, maidens whose early lives had been spent wandering from river to mountain, from the gulf to the Columbia, to whom city lifo was alinost a revelation, and city belles beings from another world.Winifred Berrien is the leader of the coterie, a girl whose eyes are as dark as Nita's are blue, and they are ready to brim over at this very instant, «Here comes Captain Rolfe for you now, and we've got to let you go; but we'll all bo down to see you off at train time.\u201d The man who enters at the moment and stands just within the heavy Nava jo portiere, smilingly looking upon the group and quite unconscious of the al most vengeful glances in the eyes of the young girls, is a cavalry officer about thirty-five years of age.He isa tall fellow, somewhat heavily built, yet well proportioned and athletic.His face is tanned by long exposure to the sun and wind of the wide frontier.His brown hair, close cropped, hus a suspicion of gray just silvering the temples.His eyebrows are thick and strongly marked.The eyes beneath are deep set and fringed with heavy lashes, The mustache, sweeping from his upper lip, is of & lighter brown than his hair, but equally thick, heavy and curling, Otherwise his face {8 smoothly shaved, and ia one which jmpresses those who look upon it, even carelessly, ag strong and resolute.He still wears the double breasted coat, with shoulder knots and fourregere, just as he bad come off parade, though he has exchawged helmet for forage cap, which latter headgear at this moment is being dnndled in one hand, while the fingers of the other beat rapid tattoo upon the visor.Comrades of Rolfe would tell you thisis a sign that he is nervous; yet to look at hin there, smiling upon the group, quite as though remarking what à pretty picture they make, no ono clse would be apt to think of such a thing.\u201cReady in a moment, Rolfe,\u201d shouts the major from an inner room.\u2018You ready, Berengaria?\u201d \u201cI am always ready, Richard, as you well know,\u201d is Mrs.Berrien\u2019s placid re- rponse.\u201cI think I never kept you waiting so much as a moment.\u201d \u201cPromptest woman in the army or out of it,\u201d boems the major from his sanctum, his jovial voice resounding through the rooms of the bright garrison home.\u2018Never knew anything lika it, Miss Guthrie, Why, do you know, even when 1 wasn\u2019t half proposing she never let me finish the sentence! \"Twasn't at all what I was going to ask her\u2014that day, at lenst.Meant to eventually, of course, if 1 ever could muster up conrage, but this time 1 had only fuund grit enough to ask for her picture, and 1 was engaged in less than ton seconds.\u201d Winnie Berrien rushes from the parlor into the paternal den, voluble with protestations against such scandalous stories at mamma's expense; but Mrs.Berrien, slowly fanning herself, remains calmly seated, as though impervious to these damaging shots, at which every- Dody else is laughing merrily.«Possibly you don\u2019t believe me,\u201d again booms the major, his jelly red face aglow, as he is dragged forth from the den, still struggling with the sleeve links of his cuff, \u201cWinifred, my child, unhand me.You'll nover bring yout old father\u2019s gray hairs in sorrow to the grave by such unwomanly precipitancy, unless it's a civilian with ten thonsand a year: will yon, dearest?Miss Guthrie, 1 never expect to be a rich man.} hadn't a8 many dollars when I full in love with Miss De Lancy as 1 had buttons, and we only wore single Lreasted coats in those days, and 1 was the junio captain.I pledge you my word I never would have had the cheek to offer myself.Twas the woman did it.I was going away for a week, and I said, \u2018You can give me one thing, if you will\u2019 1 only meant to beg for that picture, and, by Jove! she slipped her hand into mine.I was shaking all over.\u2018I\u2014b-beg pardon,\u2019 I stammered, \u2018I was only going to \u2014beg for your p-p-p\u2014 \u2018My promise\u201d said Berengaria, eweetly, looking up into my eyes.\u2018You have it, Richard.\u2019 Prompt?Why, she just jumped at me.Splendid arrangement, though, Mise Guthrie.She furnished the quarters and all the money, and 1 the vivacity and beauty of the houechoid, until Winnie cae; she contributes a little toward it now.But we're n model couple, aren't we, Berengaria\u201d\u201d And the major bends with playful tenderness, the fun apar- kling in his eyes meanwhile, and kisscs his handsome helpmeet's rosy cag.\u201cWe have few crosses, certainly,\u201d replies Mrs.Berrien, whose own name is anything but Berengaria, that being, as she is frequently called upon to explain, some of the major\u2019s historical nonsense.\u201cWe have few crosses, and those of course I bear.But now,\u201d she continues, with much decision of manner, \u201cif you are partially restored to sanity wo will go, or Keep dinner longer waiting.Miss Guthrie, do they allow lunatics at large in the streets of Bt.Louis?Major Ber- rien spoke of getting a month's leave thia winter and going thither.\u201d \u201cOh, send him by all means, and he shall be treated at our own asylum.Father would rejoice in him\u2014as 1 do, LJ Mrs, Berrien.\u201cAnd shall | get the colonel to detail Rolfe here to conduct me thither and turn me over to the asylum authorities?\u201d queries the major, with a knowing cock of the head.\u201cRolfe hates city life as a thing, but he would accept that duty, I fancy.\u201d «Captain Rolfe will be very welcome.Indeed, 1 only wish you might bring the whole regiment, major.Just think what a good time the girls would have this winter if that were only possible.\u201d \u201cBorengaria says,\u201d bursts in the major again, \u201cthat if Ionly show you prope: attention on this visit you'll be sure tc send us invitations to bring the whole family and spend six weeks at least.\u201d \u201cFather, you outrageous fibber! gasps Winifred, rushing at him and placing one slim hand upon his mouth, while twining the other, with its soft, white arm, about his neck.\u201cIndeed, Miss Guthrie, you must be told thal father is perpetually poking fun ai mother, making her say all manner of things she never thought of.It is ali well enough in the regiment, where people understand it and are prepared for his nonsense, but many stranger: are completely deceived at times, and mamma never so much as remon strates.\u201d Evidently mamma docs not consider it worth while.\u201cIt would be wasting timo, Mise Guthrie, and we are wasting tine as it is, Captain Hazlett will never forgive you, Major Borricn, if you keep dinner waiting another minute.Captain Rolfe, will you escort Miss Guthrie?Come, Richard, march!\u201d \u201cAfter you, Rolfe,\u201d says the major, with 8 bow of oxtra ceremony.\u201cAfter youn.\u201d «Before them, if you please, you blind goose!\u201d whispers his better half.\u201cHaven't you sense enough to see he wants to speak with her and that this ay be the only opportunity?\u201d \u201cWhat! Rolfe wants to talk with her?Why, Miss Guthrie,\u201d he booms aloud, \u201cI hadn't the faintest iden\u201d\u2014 But here the wife of his bosom lays firm hand upon his sunburned ear and fairly marches him forth upon the veranda.Miss Guthrie would indeed have been glad to lead, but Rolfe\u2019s hand, trembling slightly, as she cannot but note, is laid upon her wrist, restraining her.\u201cWhy didn\u2019t you tell me you wanted to talk with Rolfe, Miss Guthrie?\u201d queries the inajor over his shoulder, with every appearance of concern.\u201c1 could hava fixed it all for you.\u201d \u2018Silence, Dick,\u201d steruly murmurs Mrs.Berrien.\u2018\u2018There is no fun in this affair, and I warn you\u2014not another word.\u201d Twilight has fallen upon tho garrison as they stroll across the parade.The men have vanished froin the scene, but the tinkle of gnitar and banjo tells where they have gathered.Most of the officers are at dinner.One or two couples are just entering the gateway of Hazletts «uarters\u2014guests invited to meet the fair visitor on this the lust pvening of her stay.Dr.and Mrs.Holden can be seen among them, Mrs, Holden gazing somewhat anxiously at Nina and her escort, for it is plain that Rolfe seeks to detain the woman to whom he has paid such unusual and devoted attention ever since the hour of her arrival.Sileuco and peace have spread their wings abroad, hovering with the twilight over the broad reservation, and the Derriens, walking rapidly now, as the energetic lady can lead her expostulating spouse, como suddenly upon the sight of the great golden moon rising above tho distant bluffs and peering in upon the garrieon through the wide space that interposes botween the surgeon's quarters and the barracks at the east end.\u201cNow there is something Miss Guthrie really must see,\u201d says Berrien, halting short.\u201cAsoneof her admirers and ontertninors, I feel bound to call her attention to it.\u201d \u201cDickl\u2014stupid!\u2014move on at once.You must not speak to her now, Can't you see?\u201d \u201cSec?Of coursel sce, nnd I want her to sce\u2014that's why I stop.\u201d Again half teasingly, he attempts to turn as though bent on looking back.Sho promptly whirls him about and faces him in the proper dircetion.\u201cOh,\u201d he persists, if it is something about her you wanted to me tosee, can't you understand that I have no eyes in tho back of my head and that therefore I should be allowed to look about.\u201d «You see, sir, and understand the sit- nation perfectly well as it is.You're simply bent on mischief.Yon know that Rolfe has been her shadow all day long, hanging about her to say his say.He knows this to be his last chance.Everybody will be there the moment dinner is over, Everybody will surround her, and unless he speaks now he must let her go without a word.\u201d \u201cBerengaria, you amaze me! Aro you conniving at his capture?Didn\u2019t you tell me you knew she wouldn't have him?\u2019 \u201c] did; I know it now; but he is a man who wants to bear his fate from her own lips and plead his cause, too, like a man, unless l am very much mistaken in him.No, sir, don't you dare look back.\u201d \u201cPoor devil! Why couldn't ho wait till after dinner?she might be in softer mood then.1 always am.That's why you always wait till after dinner, I presume, when you have anything special to ask.Now this will take his appetite away entirely.\u201d \u201cAsif he Lad any in tho first place! Positively, Richard, you have no soul above a dinner.When a man is as desperately in love as Rolfe, do you suppose he cares much what he eats?\u201d \u201cWell, seems to me I was never oft my feed,\u201d is Berrien\u2019s reply with preter natural gravity.looking straight to the front now and refusing to meet his wife's dark eyes.\u201cYou!\u201d with fine scorn.\u201cYou! Why, Richard Berrien, with all your amiable qualitics of heart and weaknesses of head no one on carth would ever asso ciate you and sentiment in the same breath.Of course you and your appe- tito are inseparable; but Rolfe is differ ent; ho is a lover.\u201d \u201cWell, what am I?\u201d \u201cYou are simply a goose tonight.Come, don't stop at the gate now; push right on into the house after the Hold ens.[I'll run up to Mrs.Hazlett's room with Nita.\u201d A dozen of tho fort people only have heen bidden to dinner, for hardly a din ing room at tho post is big enough for more, and on the porch anxiously awaiting the coming of his guests is Hazlett.* Where are Rolfe and Miss Guthrie?asks he as men will ask.\u2018\u2018AIl herc now but them.\u201d \u201cComing at once; only a few stepe behind us,\u201d promptly answers Mrs.Der- rien.\u201cRun in, major; Ill wait fon Nita.\u201d Berrien looks as though he medi tated a mischiovous remark, but some thing in her voice and manner tells hin.that instant obedienco is expected.He gives one quick glance and steps intc the hall.Presently, while chatting with other of the arriving party, ho is consciops of the swish of skirts passing up the stair way.The door to the veranda is still open, and glancing out Berrien can see Rolfe alone leaning against one of the wooden pillars, his head drooping a: though plunged in deep thought.*\u201cPoor old chap! he's got his conge to night, and that's the end of his twc years\u2019 romance.Odd about thai girl She fancios nobody.\u201d Three hours later, the moun being well up in the heavens now, and the whole parade shining revealed almost as bright as day, buth the veraudas and the parlor of Hazlett's cosy howe are thronged with officers and ladies, chat ting merrily together.The lights are still blazing in the barracks.The tru peters in full force are grouped about the flugutafl sounding the lust notes of tattoo.The Holdens have borne Miss Guthrie away with them, that the ladies might stow their evening gowns in the waiting Saratogas and then don their traveling garb while the quartermaster\u2019s big wagon trundles the luggage down to the railway station, Preseutly this lumbering vehicle can be seen slowly rolling away from the Holdens' gate, and everybody at Hazlett's waits impatiently for the return of the party.Mrs.Holden is deservedly a favorite in the garrison, and Nita Guthrie, as has been said, has won golden opinions The evening air is growing chill, however, and of the duzen ladies present only the younger, the girls, remain longer upon the veranda.About this pretty group, laughing and chatting, are four or five of the younger officers, Brewster, \u201cthe swell of the subs,\u201d keeping close to Winifred Ber- rien, and claiming more and more of tho glances of her big dark eyes.Down at tho gate, the moonlight glinting on his polished saber, the officer of the day is exchanging a fow low toned words with Major Berrien.Rolfe, who with silent and dogged resolution has taken his place at Miss Guthrie's sido as she came down the stairs and escorted her to the doctor's, has turned from there and gone slowly across the parade to his own juarters on the other side.Everybody seems to see and know what has happened, and many half whispered comments are being made, not all in sympathy with the willowed lover.Everybody respects Rolfe, yet among the younger officers aro several who feel no warmth of friendship for him, and, as between man and man, garrison girls can only side with the youngsters.Their story of their slight differences is sometimes told again and again; the elders\u2019 seldom, for theirs would hardly bo believed.Little by little the chat and laughter subside, \u201cOh, why doesn\u2019t she come back?\u201d pouts Miss Berrien.\u201cThe ambulances will be here in lese than half an hour, and wo won't sce anything of her.\u201d A cLorus of girlish voices echoes Winifred's views, Mrs, Berrien and Mrs, Parker at this moment come forth from the house and look expectantly up the road.«How long they aro!\u201d says Winnie again.**What can keep them, mamma?\u201d \u201cPacking, I doubt not, my child.\u201d \u201cBut the wagon\u2019s gone, trunks and all, It can\u2019t Le that.\u201d \u201cStill, L would not fret about it, Winnie.Has she not prowised to come next spring and pay us a long visit?\u201d \u201cYes, but who knows where we may all be next spring, or what may happen meantime?Every paper we get is full of stories of the ghost dances among the Sioux, and if there should be another Indian war\"'\u2014\u2014 «Nonsense, Winifred! Don\u2019t think ot such a thing, After all this regiment has had to suffer in Indian battle, you don't suppose we, of all others, would be sent froin hero to a winter campaign in the northern depariment?Wo've scen the last of such troubles, God be thanked!\u201d Major Berrion, his interview with the officer of the day ended, has just started to rejoin the gronp on the veranda when he hears his wife's pious words.He whirls around sharply.\u201cOh, captain, there's one thing I forgot to tell you.\u201d And the saber of the officer of the day clanks against his leg as Captain Porter faces about.The younger officers go on with their blithe chat; but Mrs.Berrien has known her lord twenty long years, and no sooner has the officer of the day departed than she hastens to join him, \u201cDick,\u201d she falters, \u201csurely you dc not Lielieve that there is any chance of the Twelfth going, even if there should be trouble?Dick, tell me.\u201d \u201cDerengaria, beloved inquisitor,\u201d he begins, \u201cI didn\u2019t even know there was a row anywhere.\u201d Dut she rebukes him hy a single glance, \u201cTell me, Dick,\u201d she persists, and clings to his arm.\u201cYou don't think, after all we've been through, that, now that wo are so happily settled here, there is n possibility of such a thing?It isn\u2019 only for myself now.I's\u2014it would mean more to Winifred than either of us dreams of.\u201d He looks at her in silence and amaze, Then\u2014then comes sudden distraction.On the stillness of night there rises a scream of terror\u2014a woman's voice up lifted in tho expression of an awful shock and agony.Then a dash toward Holden\u2019s quarters, every man joining.\u201cMy God!\u201d shouts Berrien, \u201cit's Nita Guthrie.\u201d Following the rush of soldiers\u2019 feet, half a dozen ladies, too, have hastened, Winifred Berrien foremost of the lot.At the head of the stairs, on the landing of the second floor, dressed for her journey, lies the fair guest of the regiment, a senseless heap, with the blood flowing from underneath her pallid face, CHAPTER IL \u201cWhen did you shave off your beard, sergeant?\u2019 Indian summer was over and done with.Tho soft haze had gone, Foi three days the wind had been blowing hard from the northwest and the ai Was ns clear as an Arizona sky, the dis tant outlines sharp as the tooth of the prairie blast.Colonel Farquhar had suddenly broken off his shooting trip, and, without saying why, returned tc theo post.Captain Rolfe had \u2018\u2018cut\u201d the club, once a favorite resort, and was much in Dr.Holden's company \u2014Holden, who was lonely enough now that his wife and little ones were gone.Through- ont the garrison there was one leading topic for conversation and conjecture\u2014 Miss Guthrie's strange adventure the night of her intended departure and her equally strange conduct thereafter, Sho had remained scnseless but a few 2no- ments.Gentle hands had raised and borne her to the bed in tho room she was evidently just about entering when suddenly halted by some mysterious cause, Hero, when restored to consciousness, an almost hysterical attack of laughing and weeping had followed upon her prostration.She insistod on attempting to rise and go to the train, oa originally planned, but this Holden positively forbade.He had succeedod in stanching the flow of the blood from a jagged cut noar the temple, and could suggest ready theory as to the cause thereuf\u2014in falling she had probably strack the edge of the lit tle wooden post at the top of the balus- ters\u2014but beyond this explanation there was absolutely nothing.Nits Guthrie would ouly account fur her sudden tor- ror by the half nervous, half laughing staternent that she thought she ssw a ghost, had played the coward and turned to run.But to the trained physician it was evident she had received a severe shock.Despite her pleadings Dr.Holden had refused to allow her to attempt the journey until three days had elapsed, during which tine, though she laughed at him and laughed at herself, her condition continued so nervous and excitable that he would not permit visitors to see her.\u2018This was pretty hard treatment, thought her many lady friends at the poet, but he was wise and they could only obey.When the evening came for the departure a large contingent, Indies and officers both, assembled to say farewell, and Nita, Mrs.Holden, each of the children and even the nurse could have had two or three escorts to the train.But noone had opportunity to say much to the central figure of all this sympathetic interest.Only at the last moment did she appear, and was ushered almost instantly to the waiting carriage by Holden, who had only summoned her when vigilant eyes hadsreported the headlight of the express visible far up the valley.Rut then down at the dark platform of the station faithful, sad faced Rolfe was waiting, and in the minute or two that intervened before the hugo train came glaring, hissing and thundering alongside he managed to have a word or two with her.Mrs.Vance, had she been present, might have vowed that Nita shrank and clung to Holden's arm, but others who were there saw her extend her gloved hand cordially, saw that Rolfe clung to it an instant\u2014charitable others who could only wave adieu, for the party was hurried aboard, and away went the express, the tail lights of the rear sleeper disappearing in the dripping gloom around the bend, for, as though in sympathy with the mourning of tho post, a drizzling rain had begun to fall just after retreat.Rolfe, gazing after them to the last, wore that look seen on the face of many another man many another tine.There can bp few sensations more dismal than that of watching the disappearing lights of the train that bears away one\u2019s best beloved, especially in thé eyes of him who stands rejected.\u2018Let me drive you home, Rolfe,\u201d said Holden kindly.\u201cTwo of a kind,\u201d was his mental addition.And Rolfe turned slowly away, neither man saying another word until once more they stood at the gate of the now deserted home.\u201cCome in and have a pipe.\u201d \u201cThanks, not\u2014now, doctor.\u201d A long, wistful pause, then\u2014*\u2018 Well, good night.\u201d \u201cGood night, old man.Come when yon will; I'll be lonely now.\u201d And the doctor stood and gazed after him long and earnestly as the captain strode into the darkness out over the parade.Within the days that followed, when he had leisure to think it all over, Holden felt his perplexities increase.Up to tho very last Nita had persisted in her stato- ment that nothing had happened to warrant the absurd exhibition she had mado of herself.\u201c1 was overwrought, nervous, unstrung,\u201d she said.\u201cI had not been feeling quite well.I had run up to the room for my gloves, which I had left upon the table.I had not reached the dur, aud it was just the waving of those white curtains in the draft from the side window.I must have thought I saw a ghost, and, like a fool, I screamed and tripped, and\u2014voila tout.\u201d But Holden had known her for six years and felt well assured she was not of the stuff that is easily stricken with terror.With every confidence in her veracity in general he did not in the least believe her now.The more he studied the matter ho felt that she was hiding something from them one and all, even from Jennie, whom she dearly loved and whom ordinarily she frankly trusted.It was evident that Jennie, too, believed, as did her husband, the doctor, that there was something behind it all.But Jennie was gone, and, except possibly Rolfe, there was no one to aid him in his search after thetruth.Rolfe\u2019s heart was now so shrouded in its own gloom that any phase of tragedy seemed credible.Rolfe evidently wanted to know Holden's suspicions or surmises, and again and again led up to the subject; but of all men in the garrison, much as he esteemed him, Rolfe seemed hardly the man to make a confidant of now.Was he not Nita\u2019s avowed though rejected lover?Of course, no time had been lost in making investigation on the night of the occurrence.Even while the doctor and others were raising the unconscious girl from the floor, half a dozen officers were scouring the premises for signs of intruders and had found absolutely nothing.The room occupied by Miss Guthrie in the doctor\u2019s house was immediately to the left at the head of the stairs, The hall was broad, the landing roomy.It was one of the oldest sets of quarters at the post, and an oddity in its way.Entering the door of the rear room on the east, three windows appeared, two opening at the back and one at the side.The two at the back iooked out over the roof of the rear porch, It was perfectly prarticable for any one with a ladder to have clambered to this roof, and, had the blinds been open, peered in the windows at the occupant.But there was no ladder.What was more, the blinds were tight shut and bolted on the inside.The shades within were drawn down, and tho lace curtains looved over each.[TO BE CONTINUED.] An Electric Bell Call, One of tho
