How slowly ihe hands moved! The minutes seemed hours to her in her anxiety.A newspaper-boy came to offer her newspapers; but she shook ber bead.the dared not buy a paper, lest, she should see what she dreaded in it; she dared not chanoe it, knowing that her strength would not be equal to the shock.If once the hope of being useful to Stephen deserted her, she felt that her strength would fail her.It was this hope which was bearing her up now, strengthening the weak limbs, nerving her to the task she had set herself to perform.One ortwo gentlemen glanced at the beautiful pale face of the weary- looking woman as they sauntered up and down the platform; and, rather nervously, Sidney pulled down\u2018 her veil again, and went back to the waiting- room.\u2018Train after train came in with freights of travellers, and | o porters hurried hither; cabs drove off Joaded, or dashed up to the station with tardy travellers; trains left the station which Sidney looked after longingly, wishing the time would pass and struggling against her anxiety aud suspense as best she could.How slowly the time went bv! The minutes were leaden-footed and crept along, the hours were laggards and would not pass.Would twelve o'clock never come?Why, it would be nignt when she got to Ashford- too late for anything, too late for Stephen to make preparations, too late for safety! Twelve o'clock came at last, and, with a sigh of relief which was almost a sob, Sidney rose and left the waiting room.She was trembling so much that she could hardly steady her voice sufficiently to ask for her ticket, and she fancied that the booking-clerk looked at her suspiciously.as he asked her hurriedly whether she wanted a return ot à single ticket.She had to repeat her answer twice before she made him understand that she wanted a single ticket, and she wondered if he noticed how her fingers were trembling as she took up the ticket, ; It was an intense relief to find herself at last alone in a carriage and the train on the point of departure, She had to change twice, the guard told her, and she would have a long wait at one of the stations; but she was on her way at last\u2014at last! 1t began to snow soon after they left the outskirts of London, and as the day wore on, it came down more and more thickly, At Bishops- town, where Sidney had to wait, the snow lay thickly on the station roofs and on the surrounding country, and her heart sunk with fear as she thought that the train might be delayed by snow-drifts, and that she would not reach her destination that night.She was cold and weary and faint ; but she never thought of obtaining any refreshment, although Bishopstown station was a large one and there was a refresh- ment-room to which most of the passengers hastened as soon as they left the rain.Sidney sat by the waiting-room window, longing to go on her way once more.The train came up, its red lights gleaming, its carriage-roofs white with snow.Sidney hastened, us fast as her trembling limbs would allow her, to the nearest carriage.and got in stumbling- iy and awkwardly in her agitation.One entleman was its occupant; he was eaning back in one corner of the carriage, his coat well pulled up about his ears, and he was reading by the light of a little travelling lamp, which threw its light upon his book, and upon the grave handsome, rather worn face.He did not glance up from his book as Sidney ot into the compartment of which he n sole possessor.Apparently his fellow-traveller had no interest for him ; and it Was only when the door had been shut and the train was once more on its way that Sidney glanced over at the quiet absorbed face, and then à little cry\u2014half of joy, half of fear\u2014broke #from her.She held out both her little trembling hands toward him, uttering his name\u2014** Stephen l\u2019\u2014 and then sunk forward, half swooning half sobbing, at his feet, CHAPTER XXXVL For a moment Stephen Dauht was so overcome with surprise at the unexpected appearance of his wife that, without movin be stared at her over his book, half uncertain whether he was not dreaming, whether he had not fallen asleep in the carriage and conjured up ihe beautiful pale face of the woman who was rarely absent from his thoughts ; but the surprise was only momentary, and gave place to alarm a8 he saw how terribly agitated she was, how the little trembling hands clung to him for a moment and then fell away in their weakness, how the slender form quivered and shook like one stricken and wounded unto death.Stephen Daunt had all a man\u2019s\u2014and\u2019 an Englishman's-\u2014horror of scènes, and since his marriage he had had enough andtospare.Life had been quite atragic business, he thought wearily, ever since that June morning when he had made Sydney his wile,\u201d It was not her fault, poor child, since, 80 long as she had been well, she had been calm and languid and self-pos: as a queen; but there had been that scene in the waiting-room at Ling which bad preceded her serious illness; and now, when he thought her safe in Brighton with his aunt and Dolly, she made an unexpected appearance in a railway compartment of which\u2014tortun.ately, most fortunately-\u2014~he was the only other ocoupant.All these thoughts passed like lightning through hs brain, as, lifting her ten erly in bis 8, he placed her upon the cushions of the carriage, and still holding her within his arm, tried to soothe her with a few gently-spoken words, But all power of self-control had deserted her; the intense relief she felt at sight of her husband safe and free as yet, the self-repression she had exercised so long, which had cost her such an effort, the agitation, the long night's vigil, the anxiety and suspense, had broken her down; she could not have spoken a word to save her life or Stephen\u2019s.She lay back against the cush- lons, supported by his arm, sobbing, gasping, trembling, and exhausted, ghting against her emotion as best she could, poor child, because she knew it woul painful and distressing to him, but utterly Poyeriess to overcome it, She was n weeping; there were no tears in the great burning eyes or on the pale cheeks, and the sobs were great dry choking sobs which shook the slender frame within his arm with a force which seemed as if it must kill her; while Stephen, looking at her with intense Pity and compassion, felt all the help- essness A inan usually feels in presence of a crise de nerts, But through it all one thing struck him, that she did not now shrink from him asshe had done in the waiting-room at Ling, tbat she rather yielded to his arm, and iet her weary head rest against his shoulders.as if it were good for it to be there, and the little hands clasped him with convulsive force for a moment, and that, if they fell away thon, It was from falling power, not from repulsion.And, when at last, from jon the sobs ceased and the gasping breath came more evenly, though very ocr exhaust.bly, sherested t him as a worn out suffering might Tes} Against its s breast.\u201cNow, dear, can tell me what the matter le?\u201d he a after a pause, as they sped onward through the fathering gloom of the wintry dusk.\u201cHow is { ou are here and alone?1s this the care dhey have been taking of you at Brighton?Surely they must have seen and known that you were utterly unfit for such a journay?\u2019 \u201cThey did not know 1 was coming,\" she answered faintly pausing between each word as they fell alowiy from her white and tremulous lipa \u201cHave you run away again then?\u201d be said, in a gently chiding tone one might adopt to a spoiled child.\u201cNo,\u201d she whispered.\u201cWhere were you going, dear?\u2019 he asked, bending his face down over hers as he spoke, and putting his strong hand over the little trembiiug helpless fingers upon her lap.*l was\u2014coming\u2014to\u2014youl\u2019* Her voice was so low and faint that the words were almost inaudible; but they thrilled Stephen Daunt with joy.She was coming to him! Could it be that at last she had learned to love him, to appreciate his love for her, and that a brighter day was dawning for them after the long dark night ot distrust and, ain ?\u201cYou were coming to me, Sidney!\u201d he repeated softly drawing her still closer to bis side \u2018You wanted me then?Why did you not send or telegraph, dear child?1 would have coma to you sO gladly\u2014how gladly you will never know, Sidney.\u201d \u201c]-1 dared\u2014not!\u201d she whispered; and, turning her face suddenly, she did it against him, essing it against his fur-lined coat with a sudden passionate pain.* You darea not,\u201d he echoed, in a voice so full of tender reproach that it almost destroyed Sidney's composure \u2014* you dared not! Why?Surely you were not afraid of me, my child?\u201d .** No, no-\u2014wait\u201d\u2019 she murmured, still with her face hidden.* Give me alittle time\u2014and \u2014I will tell you\u2014if you need telling.1 have no strength Aud yet\u2014I must find strength\u2014or it may be\u2014too Too late! What did she mean?Stephen wondered, with a curious dread.Did she think she was going to die, poor foolish girl?And yet was the thougnt such a fooiish one?She had been so i) and was still so far from strong, tha this great agitation and subsequent exhaustion must be terribly weakening and hurtful to her.Désperately the poor woman at led against her exhaustion, knowing how precious the time was and how she was losing it; but she could not tind strength to speak, to tell her husband of his danger, to confess that she believed him guilty of a dreadful crime.Twa or three times she tried to utter the words of warning and entreat him to fly; but the words died away on her white lips, and she rested against him like a wounded thing, conscious indeed, yet utterly strengthlesa and exhausted.stephen was greatly distressed.Fully an hour must elapse before the train stopped again, and then it would be only for a few minutes; and, looking at the coloriess face against bis shoulder, he began to tear that, 1f no help coul be obtained before then, it would be too late Lo of any use.To his eye inexperienced as he was in illness an its signs, Sidney's face looked like Lhe face of a dying woman as the light from the railwa lamp fell upon 1t and he felt terribly helpless and despairing, Suddenly he remembered that he had his travelling-tlask with him, and that, on leaving Fasthorpe on the previous day the butler had tilled it with sherry; he had had no occasion to use it since, and had forgotton it Now he remem bered it with an almost passionate sense of gratitude; and, gently placing Sidney back in her seat, he took bis bag from the netting, hastily unlocked it, and took out the flask, ** What is 11?\u201d she said faintly, as he held the little silver cup fo her lips, \u2018* Some wine.Drink it, dear child; it will do you good.\u201d (To be Continued.)

- THE MONTREAL DAILY.STAR.SATURDAY.DECEMBER 19, 1892.\u2014TWELVE PAGES.Flour Boys and Girls GRETELEIN AND HER QUEER STOVE.By Rosamond Dale Owen.Far off over the blue waters there is a queer little house, in a queer little German town.In this house there is a very strange tall stove; a stove nearly as high as a wan, nade of white porcelain, gilded with bands of brass which shone like burnished gold when the stream of eastern sunshine gleams through the small paned window.In this house there lives a large family of children, with a dear father and mother to watch over them, \u2014Gretelein Marie, Fritz, and baby Iisette.Grete- lein was an odd young girl, with great, wide ble eyes, and two little yellow plaits of hair han ging straight down her ack and tied with blue ribbons.Une day Gretelein was left alone in the family room, where the porcelain stove was.she louked cautiously around to see that nobody was peeping through the windows, then she crept softly on tiptoe to the stove and suddenly opened a little door in the upper part and peered into a sort of little oven.It was all of white porcelain, and looked like a cunning little white room.Many times before had Gretelein crept up to the stove and peered into her fairy house, as she called it; but it was alwavs empty and silent as now.So Gretelein turned away with a sigh, her blue eyes wider aud more wistful than ever.The next evening when it was almost dusk, Gretelein sat on a little wooden chair close to the window, trying to finish a pair of woollen socks for the dear father\u2019s birthday.No one else was in the room, and Gretelein often turned toward the tall stove standing like a ghost in the pale light.1t Was growing too dark to see, the busy click of her needles stopped, and Gretelein leaned back in her chair to rest.Suddenly a soft noise attracted her notice; it sounded like thie whirring of many wings.Quickly she stole across the floor, crept up to the stove, and with a quick motion opened the little porcelain door.What à strange sight met Gretelein\u2019s gazel\u2014a sight which made her e 08 open wider than ever before.and breath caine thick and fast through ber startled lips.There, in the silent white chamber, thronged a restless mass of little people, each no bigger than her finger.Before Gretelein could recover, the tallest and handsomest of these little elves fluttered through the open door, alighting on Gretelein\u2019s shoul- er.\u201cWell, Gretelein,\u201d shrilled the little man, *\u2018vou have found us at last.She started so violently as the little elf spoke, that he nearly lost bis balahce, and clutched at her dress fo keep from falling.She was dreadfully frightened, and Was on the point of running away ; she did wish some one would come in; she thought she would never go near this dreadful stove again.How could she have been so foolish as to watch for fairies, and to wish that she could see them! \u201cYou are afraid of us,\u2019 squeaked the little man.*You foolish child, don\u2019t you know we lived in this house and this stove long before you were born, \u2014 before your mother and father were born?\u201d \u201cHow could you live so long and not row a bit?\u2019 ventured Gretelein, under er breath.\u201cWe had something else to do,\u2014we bave to make everybody else grow; we are your househola elves; we work, ob, how hard we do work over you, even at night; we have to rack our poor brains to supply you with dreams; you are such an unreasonable set, you mortals, that you have to amu even when you are asleep! Here, Dreams, wakeun! It is almost night, time Lo begin work.Two drowsy little elves rolled froman obseure corner, and sat up rubbing their eyes; one was a dreamy-faced, fair- haired little fellow, the other looked in a surly way from under a pair of black brows, lle had a strange, white, terri.tied look, and crept timidly behind his brother.\u2018\u2019Fhese,\u201d said the elf-king, \u2018are Dream and Nightmare, starting out on their night's work.\u201d (Giretelain was next attracted to a lively group in a corner.Foremost among them stood the queerest little man, with such a comical twist to his mouth, and black merry eyes, that Gretelein laughed in spite of herself.\u201cThat,\u201d said the elf-king, Lo Jokes, and that little chap, next to bim is Laughter, and after Dream and Night mare are through with jou, before your eyes are fairly opened, Jokes jumps into your ear, and Laughter perches himself in the corners of your mouth, and such a whisk as he fives it.The little tellow hiding behind there, looking rather ashamed, is Mischief.But sometimes that scowling group in the other éorner get ahead of this one.That little imp no bigger than your thump- nail is Cross-patch.He 1s dreadfully troublesome and hard to get rid of, when he once fastens on you.\u2019 \u201cIie fastened on Marie, yesterday,\u201d said Giretelein, \u2018and 1 ought not to have blamed her so much, for afterall it was not her fault, but that little imp\u2019s.\u201d *Hoity, toity! not so fast, little maiden; if Marie had resolved that Cross.patch should leave, Cross-patch would have had to go.None of my elves ever stay where they are not wanted.Some are nore easily frightened off than others.The ugher the imps are the hter they hold, but the worst of them.can be shaken off.There,\u201d he continued, \u201cis a set that are hard to get rid of when once they take hold.Thatis Jealousy, and that Envy: that miserable starveling is Selfishness, and that horrid toad is Gluttony.Cretelein shrank in dismay from these wretched little elves,and wondered how anybody could alllow them to fasten on them.Suddenly Gretelein\u2019s attention was arrested by a radiant little elf floating above au the others.\u201cOh, w beautiful, how beautifn! Why said Gretelein; \u201cmy dear mother looks like him, when she bends to kiss me good-night \u2018\u2019That,\u201d said the elf-king, \u201cis Love.He stays nearly all the time with the dear mother; he strokes her soft cheeks and smooths her brow; he looks deep into her tender eyes until they shine so blue; he holds her gentle hands and passes them over Gretelein\u2019s eyes when se Ce dear littl l wh goes \u201cAn e dear © an who hand in hand with Love?\u201d pres ie said the elf-king, \u2018is called \u2018And those \u2018glorious ones?\u201d asked breathless Gretelein.*\u201cPhey are Peace and Joy.\u201d \u201cOh, oh, oh!\" said Gretelein, \u2018how I \u2018do love them! Will they stay \"with me too, these four beautiful ones?\u201d She stretched her arms with a ery of er- treaty, and\u2014woke witha great + start.The supper bell was ringing, Marie and Fritz were standin rout of her laughing heartily, and the mother with baby Lisette in her arms was smiling down at her.Giretelein rubbed her eyes, then, suddenly remembering the fairies, she ran to the stove and looked in.There was nothing there.\u201cOh, they have gone! they have gone!\u201d said Gretelein, the tears in her eyes.\u201cYou have dreaming,\u201d said mother.\u201cLet us go to supper;

if you think of the number of the house and the name of the street whenever you think of his home you will never forget it.It is this habit of tying one idea or fact to another that enables some persons to remember quickly, and any one can fr lls this habit who will persevering.ollow this simple rule.One word here about reviewing what you learn.There is no surer way of finding out how much you don't know of what you think you know than by mentally * taking stock \u201d every now and then, Once or.twice a year merchants go carefully over their stock of goods and learn just how much they have on hand.They know then not only what they have in stock, but what they have soid and what they need.The next best thing to knowing what you perfectly remember is to tind out what you have forgotten or never knew, A peculiarity of memory is that the more it is u the stronger it becomes.Whoever makes proper use of his memory seldom has occasion to find fault with it.Youth is the time when it is most plastic, and when the most lasting.impressions can be made upon it.For this reason care should be taken that it is trained and strengthened in a sensible way so that it will prove a ready help in after-lif A QUEER DENTIST.A little Ametican boy who has a vet turtle, made it do a queer thing a little while ago.One day Philip\u2014that's the name of the noy\u2014found that one of his teeth was getting loose.He has never had but one set, and a second crop of teeth is beginning to push the first crap ou Philip's mother was away.He could pot wait for ber to come back.thought it was important that this loose tooth should come out at once.So he went to the maid and asked to have a thread tied around the loose tooth.She did not wish to do it at tirst, but at last consented.Then Philip fastened thre other end of the thread to a hale in the shell of the turtle.\u2018The turtle walked off into the grass.Philip braced bimself and stood stock still.In a minute the queer little dentist had pulied the tooth oat.SOME EBOOY.sormetoo7 és à goiden deed: somebody proved a frtend in peed;

farmers from getting into the markets with ss ik] a it : ê 6 their produce.It le \u2018also the reason whef the country merchants are about taking stock, and do not care to Increase their bold until this is done.However, the condit) of the country is such that with & roads and fine winter weather, there should be a brisk revival in business just before the Christmas holidays.Farmers and others will, no doubt, be to hear of the British Government's action in removing the embargo from Cana~ dian cattle shipped to the British markets.It will hardly be as pleasing to the British agriculturist, Who views the ever-increasing imports of live and dead stock from abroad as one of the main reasons of his present embarrassments and keeping down oi prices.There is no doubt that the outlook for the British farmer at the moment is not a cheer ing one.Enormous transatiantic supplies have had a crushing effect on the stock market, and prices have ruled so low as to almost make cattle breeding as unprofitable to the English farmer as the growing of wheat.The stock and bond markets during the week bave been depressed In all of the world\u2019s leading centres, and to prudent specuiatora the outlook is far from encouraging.The probable failure of the sliver conference Ca! a feeling of deep distrust in London and Europe which is reflected on this side of the Atlantic.Railway securities have felt the depression more than others.In this connection the Railway Age has prepared some very telling statistics which make curious reading to the outsider.Of all the stocks dealt in on the New York Stock Exchange, some seventv in number, only fourteen are ordinarily quoted at or above par.Of the others, only six range over 9U, Only seventeen are quoted as high ue 50 oerts on the dollar,

conciliation, Much, he held, might be gained by representing to the Government the iniquitous nature of the tax and polnting out to them that they might with equal justice tax picks or wheel-barrowe or auy of the necessary tools of the trade.Mr.Jeffrey, however, declared his determination to resist the tax whether the Association decided to do so or not.Mr.Irwin still contended thatthe Government should be Interviewed before litigation was commenced.He, therefore, submitted a motion to this effect.Mr.J.B.Smith held that all conelllatory efforts would be useless.ln fact, they would only encourage the Government to proc with the enforcement of this law.The Association should take a determined stand, as they did againat the Mercior mining tax, and they would auc- ceed now as they did then, He moved in amendoment that a committee be named to collect funds to pay the cost of resisting LtIx (8x In Lhe courts.Finally & comvromise was arrived at veu these itivergent views, ana the ailowing resolution was unaniinously Actornitesd \u2018That a deputation be appointed dy the chair- ma alt upon the Quebec t;overnment and lay etore.it the feeling of this meeting regarding the imposition of the powder tax as applied to mines, With a view of Inducing the Lieutenant Governor-In-vouncil to exercise his right.to ex- \u20acpt the mines of this province, as provided for ib the Powder Act: (hat as an alternative the Government be requested Lo grabt a case Lo test the legality of the Act.\u2019 Messrs.Klein, King, Hopper, Franchot, Smith and Col.Lueke were then named a committee for this purpose.Tue question of arranging for the mining onnvention, Whioh is to be held here next February, was then discussed.The mesting resolved itself into a committee vf arrangements to prepare a programme for the entertainment of the Amertcan visitors.Messers.Stevenson, Gardner and Irwin were named as acommittee to interview the M.A.A.A, with a view of taking concerted action to make the approaching convention and the annual week of sports, which wiil probably occur at the same time, as attractive as possible to the visiting delegates.Before ciosing the meeting Mr.Bail attention to the case of Mr.T.J.Watters, an Ottawa civil aer- vant, who had u censured for devoting his attention to a private mining industry while emploved as a public servant, Mr.Bell held that this gentleman had an abeo- lute right to utilize his spare time as he saw fit Mr, J.B.Smith took the opposite ground, submitting that Do man could serve two masters.The matter was settled by by pointing out + that the question was one betwee aiters and the (overn- ment, and that it concerned no one else.A Btock Broking Case.The law regarding the recovery of debta incurred in stock broking transactions was interpreted this morning by Judge Doherty in the case of Perodeau versus Jackson.Delendant had been employed by plaintiff a3 his broxer in various transactions on the Stock Exchange on margin.Plaintiff placed a sum of money lu defendant's bands, and having discontinued his operations, desired to have refunded thu bal- anoe of the amount, stili in the hands of defendant, alleging that the sum in question had n deposited with defendant as security against possible loss.Defendant, in his plea, contended that as the tran- actions were admittedly of a gambling nature, the law should not intervene.His Honor, in the course of an elaborate judgment, cited several authorities and conal uded by delivering judgment in favor of Danton for the full amount of his claim, 1660.39 with costs, holding that defendant ad no claim whatever upon the money, Business Notos.Marie Diethelm and Henry Haefner, con- feotioners, (Diethelm & Haefner) have dissolved partnership.; Partnerahips have been re istered between L.Lipechitz and H.Eliison (The Kingston Rag & Metal Co.); W.Champagne and J.B.G.Maiepart, proviaion dealers, (W.Champagne & Cie); C.Trudeau, and T.Trudeau, amiths; (C.Truaeau.)
