Others\u2014Government Policy in Regard to Grand Trunk Pacific and Other Matters Severely Cone demned\u2014There Was Much Enthusiasm.Bpecial to The Montreal Star.bec, September 7.- Between three four thousand people Irom the city of Quebec and the counties of Levis, Belle chasse, Beauce and Dorchester, assembled at St.Ammselme, on the border of Levis and Dorchester counties, yesterday afternoon, to hear the political issues of the day diecussed by the Hon.Messrs.J.I.Tarte, T.C.Casgrain, L.P.Pelletier and others.Most of the audience from the eounties of Dorchester and Beauce and from the back part of the county of Levis, drove in their own vehicles to the meeting, while a very long special tramn from Levis took several hun s of peuple from Quebec and Levis and the County of Beilechaswe.The weather was propitious, and a band of music enlivened the proceedings.Hon.L.P.Pelletier, who represents Dorchester in the Legislature, opened the lings by propos: that there be our joint chairmen, one from each county represented, namely, Mr.Morin, M.P., of Dorchester, Thos.Dallaire, of Beauce, Pierre Goulet, of Bellechasse, and Coun- dillor Joseph Paquet, of Levis.Thu was agreed to.HON.T.C.CASGRAIN.Hon.T.C.Caegrain, M.P, was first called upon and spoke nearly an hour.He ond that last week a very large meeting had been held m the distriot of Montreal for the purpose of discussing the various questions which were engaging the attention of the House and of the country, and now it wae the turn of the district of Quebec.He reminded the immense assemblage before bim that it was their prerogative to judge between the two parties and the two policres which were disputing for the confidence of the electors.Thev constituted the grand jury of the pation, and it was for them osrefully study both aides of the question and to render a verdict according to their conscience.The question of the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway largely interested the City of Quebec, a therefore the entire district, for if the city it meant much to all the surrounding country.He would not, however, bave them refram from discusang and considering the question as it affects the imeresta of the whole country.It involved the expenditure by the vern- ment of $120,000,000, which meant, not only the increase of the public debt by that amount, but alse a large addition to the rate of taxation which they all had to pay.He contended that the Government was deliberatéiy driving the House and the country into the contract with the Grand Trunk Pacific Company.Even in the matter of surveying the route for the enstern section of the road, no time was fixed.The (rovernment might take five, ten or even fifteen years for ths preliminary work.But the section of the road which was to pass through the rich and fertile Province of Manitoba, thanks to the influence of Senator (ox.as Mr.Blair had said openly in the House, was to be finished within five years of the ratification of the contract.Mr.Casgrain referred to the enormous increase in the grain yield of the North- West, and said it was the duty of the Canadian Government to bring these millions of bushels of grain through Canadian territory to a (Canadian port.We have the great national river of the St.Lawrence available for this route.Some would say that this route benefitted only Montreal and that all the grain brought down by water would stop there.This was quite erroneous, however.If all this traffic came this way there would not he enough Canadian ports to handle it.In order to secure the trade for Can- sdian ports, it would be necessary to expend several millions of dollars for the construction of elevators at Quebec and other ports.This was the policy of Mr.Tarte.who had resigned as a member oi the Government rather than be a party to its policy.Mr.Blair, who had been tbe most capable of the remainin Min- saters of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, had done the same.He had raid to his leader: \u2018Sir Wilfrid, your policy, in the matter of this railway is bad, therefore 1 will go out.\u201d Not only had Mr.Blair.who was the Minister who had charge of the Railway Department.condemned the railway poli ey of the Government, but all the independent papers of the country had done the same.including the Montreal Witness, the Huntingdon Gleaner and the News, of Toronto, which was elected by Mr.Willison, the former editor of the Toronto Globe.Mr.Casgrain argued at length that the proposed railway would not benefit the city of Quebec, though it would fend to destroy the value of the Intercol- onial Railway.upon which 70,000,000 of public money had been spent.Mr.Cas- grain pleaded eloquently the necessity which existed for the proper protection of Canadian industries, for the want of which the United States were so largely Menefiting at the expense of (Canada It is because of the Government's refusal to do its duty to (anada in this matter that Mr.Tarte had left the Cabinet.He congratulated those present upon the success agd immensity of the demonstration, and upon thee fact that their member in the Legislature, Hon.= y Genuine Carter\u2019s Little Liver Pills x Must Bear

a sign of the victory which awaited them.(Loud applause.) HON.J.I.TARTE.Hon.Mr.Tarte, the next spedker, was received with loud and long continued applause.He was in excellent voice and spirits, and rivetted the attention of the meeting by the nature of his opening re marks.\u201cThis time last year,\u201d he said \u201cIl was a member of the (Government.{ retired froin it on the 20th of last October.Often while a member of the Administration 1 had argued an increase in tariff, both in the presence of the Premier and of his colleagues, and also at meetings in Ontario as well ae in Quebec.During the Premier's absence in England, 1 had abundant reason to know that some of my colleagues in the Government were plotting against me.When I saw that the newspapers controlled by them were attacking me I bad almost made up my mind to cable my resignation to Sir Wilfrid Laurier.But from this I was dissuaded by some of my friends.The very day after the Premiers return to Ottawa he did me the honour to call to see me at my house.I told him that 1 had decided to go out of the Government, and offered him my resignation.He begged me to think the matter over and to do nothing till the following Wednesday.This was on a Sunday.The following day 1 had an engagement to address a public meeting at Toronto.On the way to Toronto, having thought the matter over, 1 wrote out official resignation.and mailed it to the Premier.ore going to the meeting.This was on the 20th of October.Judge of my surprise when upon receiving Bir Wilfrid's letter of the 91st October 1 found that he admitted having told the Governor-General that he had been compelled to ask for my resignation and this, notwithstanding his pending request to me to delay action until the followin October last, i solve to resign was fina), because he knew of the cabal that was in progress mst him, and felt that the Premier wou be upable to withstand it.He made the present explamtions to place himself in his proper light before the public, and not for the purpose of bringing charges against hie late leader ing to speak upon the merits of the protection Issue, Mr.Tarte said that the question was not one of politics, not one of red or blue, but one of common sense.He pleaded with his hearers to treat it as such, expressing his belief that if there was one thing which was more dangerous to the interests of the Province of Quebec than another it was an extreme party spirit.For bis part, he was ready to discuss the matter at meet ings like the present.under Conservative auspices.or at Liberal meetings as the case might be.After speaking of the advantages of protection in a general way, he maid it might be asked what good protec tion would be to those who were now before him.You.he said, are all producers.You are all interested in having a good market fr vour products.Protection will cause pew industries to spring up in the cities, and even in the towns and villages.bringing with them\" increase of population with near-by markets, and higher prices for agricultural products of all kinds, gram, butter, poultry.meat, eggs, etc.For want of a proper policy of protection Canada sent anvally out of the country $130,000,000 of good Canadian money.He asked them to imagine what a benefit it would be to the country if only $50,000,000 of the $130, 000,000 paid for foreign products was to be expended in the Dominion.A million of our compatriots are now separated from us and living in the United States because industries cannot flourish here as they do on the other mde of the boundary, where the American tariff is fully double of our own.It is in fact, 49 per cent.where ours is 24 on actual duitable goods imported.So beneficial has the high American tarift proved to the people of the United States that their population has doubled within the last thirty years, while the value of their agricultural products bas inc by 49 per cent.since 1896.QUESTION OF PRICES.Mr.Tarte ridiculed the idea that pro tection involved higher prices to the consumer, showing that altho the tanff on wire had en abolished, Canadians still paid more for the article than the Americans did.American rmanufacturers controlled the market and fixed the prices for Canada, whereas with a fair measure of protection not only would the money sent out of the country for wire be spent in Canada, but useful competition would be promoted, which would result in low er prices to the consumer than now paid in Canada.Mr.Tarte also referred to the fact that three millions of dollars were annually sent out of the country for agricultural implements, which ought to be manufactured in the Dominion, and certainly would be with a proper measure of protection.he boot and shoe trade furnished the honourable gentleman with another de monstration of the loss to the country resulting from the absence of a fair protective policy.Mr.Tarte referred to the fact that he had been hed for having referred to Sir Wilfrid Laurier\u2019s health, and vigorously protested against the misrepresentations which had been made of those references.He could most sincerely say that he only wished the Premier might live 25 years, and might fully regain hus health and strength.e was bound to protest, as he did, against the electoral trick attempted by Sir Wilfrid's entourage.Believing that he would not be able in two ears\u2019 tim» to lead his y to electoral ttle, Sir Wilfrid's colleauges bave not hesitated to urge new general dections, notwithstanding that the constitution provides for the holding of elections every five years, and that mo far only three years have elapsed since the last election took place.Sir Wilfrid's colleagues wished to take advantage of his present state of health to secure for thremselves another five years\u2019 term of office by using his name and prestige during the combat, and subetituting another leader after the fight 1s over.e illness of Sir Wilfrid Lav- rier was the cause of all the trouble in the Cabinet.Mr.Tarte reminded nis heerers that he was not the only Minister who had re signed.Mr.Blair had also dons so, because he not approve the Minsster- ial Policy.Blair was -Minister of Railways and Canals in Sir Wifrid\u2019s Gov- erument.Four days after he had ceased to occupy that position be was treated as if he was y, by the Government organs.His own experience had been the ome.It was difficult indeed to explain why he had been eo maltreated, as he bad been the Ministerial papers.It very complimentary to | rier who for so ! had kept him as one of his Ministers an even offered to recommend him for some of the est honours that came to Canadians.Imagine the title, he said, of Bir Joseph Isread.He sought for none of these things, however, preferring to continue to work as an humble individual as he had dope in the past.He referred te this incident to show how digerent was the estimate formed of him by Sir Wilfrid Laurier and by those who were opposed to him.He was not fearfully sur rised by these assaults, for he had never loyally supported by some of his , though it was well under stood that entered the Government with the seme humble personality which he had hitherto borne, never pretending to be anything more than he really was, never calling himself a Liberal, but like thousands of other Conservatives who joined the Government as allies without repudiating or blushing for his past.He had given of bis time and energy and best endeavour to serve his country and his Natal province, and in accepting a porfolio he had never implied that he was to continue to hold it for all time or to forfer: his liberty of thought ,and speech.THE RAILWAY QUESTION.Turning to the railway question he asked ,whether the Grand Trunk Pacific was necessary at the present time.No matter how much mght be spent upon the road it would never be possible to convey grain by it as cheaply as by the water route.Mr.Wolvin was now bringing grain from the on-the Great Lakes to Quebes for 3, and even À cents per bushel, and 4 cents was the regular price.Quebec wil] always have more traffic by the water route than by rail.sure was he of this that last vear, while Minister of Public Works he had asked and obtained the approval of the House for harbour works for Quebec, which would have cost over a million dollars, and in the estimates of the year he had placed the first installment to be expended, some $150,000, which represented the amount of work that could hye been done that year.He ted to say, however, that since his withdrawal from the Government that vote had been set aside.He presumed that it had been Placed to the credit of the Quebec Bridge.e did not wish anybody to imagine that he was opposed to the bridge, for as a matter of fact he was a member of the first company for its construction.He was quite ready to vote enough to bring it to completion, but not to distribute money among half a dozen le connected with it.It was hi belief that the bridge might have been built without further public aid than the $1,500,000 voted by the two Governments and the City ration.e again pleaded with his hearers not to be carried away by party feeling, but to hear and to read both sides of public questions and to judge for themselves.The questions of transportation and of protection were not party ones and should not be treated as such.He urged that the views of ex-Ministers who had resigned their portfolios rather than share the responsibility for legislation which they could not approve, Vial entitled to as careful.a heari and_ ronsideration as those of the members of the Cabinet.He asked his bearers not to take anything for granted because it proceeded from the party of which Mr.Borden or Sir Wilfrid was the leader, but to weigh there things carefully upon their merits.He hoped that Sir Wilfrid Laurier's fine talents might be long at the disporal of the country.He was a man of talent but he was mortal like the rest of us, and liable to error.Je knew that there were thousands of Liberals both in Ontario and Quebec who were protectionists, and he \u2018drew atten- tiop to the growth of protectionist sentiment in France, Germany and other countries.In Germany the agricultural party had virtually carried the recent elections, which involve the ratification of a high tariff, which would go into force on the 1st of January next.Mr.Tarte strongly supported sn Eng: lish preference for Canadian agricultural products.and hinted that the adoption of a protection policy for Canada might enable us to make a fair exchange, therefore.with the Old Country.He asked his audience to be true to the liberty which they enjoved by using it as men unswayed by the blindness of fanatical partyisms, but as freemen carefully weighing the merite of political utterances, no matter from which party they may have come, Mr.Tarte's remarks were frequently punctuated with loud applause.MR.LEONARD, M.P.Mr.Leonard, M.P., who followed, congratulated the electors of Laval upon the excellence of the work done in Parliament by their member, Mr.Morin.He also enlightened the meeting as to the ignorance of the Government regarding the new railway, having refused all inferm- ation, if they have any, as to the route of the line and the character of the country through which it is to pass.HON.L.P.PELLETIER.Hon.L.P.Pelletier told the audience of the splendid meetings held at Berthier- ville and Lake Megantic last week, and congratulated and thanked those present at the meeting.He favoured the building of railways where they were needed, but not through districts inhabited only b wild beasts.When the Government builds a railway it should certainly own it and pot give it away as was proposed in the case of the Grand Trunk Pace.spected the United States, but he believed in the policy of Canada for the Canadians.The port of Quebec was a magnificent har bour, but we must do without the improvements that are necessary to bring us shipping because a rich man such as Senator Cox cannot wait.Mr.Pelletier eloquently pictured the stern virtues and tfals of the Fremch-Canadian settler, carving out a home for himself and his little family with his axe in the backwoods of this province, who, he said, was to be applauded if ever a man was.But, he said, there was not a man of heart, Liberal or Conservative, who could approve Premier Parent's attitude in rd to our new settled districts.He told the story of the provincial policeman having been seen by him with handcuffs to arrest the settlers of Matane at the dictates of a wealthy lumber company.He also made some very amusing remarks in regard to the negotiations supposed to have taken place between Premier Parent, Mayor Parent and Mr.Parent, president of the Bri Company, concerning the ent of subsidies by the Premier and the Mayor to the president of the Bridge Comm)t- tee, keeping the meeting in roars of awh.ter.e ded the hopes exp by Mr.Tarte for an improvement in

nor and Greene, showing that while the robber of ten cents went to prison, the prison to which our Government sent the robbers of thousands was Chatean Frontenac.They had virtually re-established a system of asylums here for foreign robbers.The meeting was brought to a close hy a stirring address from Mr.Morin, M.P.for the county, at 8 o'clock, but owing to delays on the wiy it was nearly 9

A movement resembling apprehension swept through the company.epigram had been Francis\u2019, the court \u2014a flower-bed of roses\u2014was, in consequence, a thorny maze for a jester to tread.From her chair at the far end of the room, the young woman looked at the new-comer for the first time since his enthronement.Her fngers yet played between the gilded bars; the posture she had assumed get forth the pliant grace of her fig: ure.Above the others, she glanced at him, ber hair very black against the golden cage.her arm, very white, half unsheathed from the great hang- Ing sleeve.\u201cYou are over-bold, she said, à pe culiar smile upon her lips.\u201cNay, | have spoken no treason, mistress,\u2019 he retorted, blithely.\u201cNot by word of mouth, perhaps, but by imputation.\u201d He raised his brows with a gesture of wanton protest, while the face before him clouded.Her eyes held his; her little teeth just gleamed between the crimson of her lips.\u201cI presume you consider Charles the more fitting monarch?\u2019 she continued.Was it the disdain of her voice?Did she read his passing thoughts?Did she challenge him to utter them?\u201cIn truth.\u201d the jester said carelessly, \u201cCharles builds fortresses, not pleasure palaces; and garrisons them with soldiers, not ladies.\u201d She half-smiled.Her hand moved caressingly, sleeve waving beneath.\u201cPoor Jocko! Poor Jocko!\u201d she murmured.Triboulet's glance beamed with de- Her glance fell.the light.She was casting her spell over his enemy.\u201cOh!\u201d muttered Triboulet, \u201cif the king could but have heard.\u201d Perhaps it was a breath of air but the tapestry depicting the misadventures of Momus waved and moved.Triboulet, who noted everything, saw this, and suffered an, expression of triumph momentarily to rest upon bis malignant features.Had his prayer been answered?\u201cA spring without flowers,\u201d forsooth! Dearly cherished the august gardener his beautiful roses.Great red roses; white roses; blossoms yet unopened! Following his gaze, a significant light appeared in the young woman's eyes, her arm fell to her side.\u201cNow to see Presumption sue for pardon,\u201d she whispered to herself.One by one the company, too, turned in the direction Triboulet was looking.In portraiture the classical buffoon grinned and gibed at them from the tapestry; and even from his high station above the clouds, Jupiter, who bad ejected the offending fool of the gods, looked less stern and implacable.An expectant hush fell upon the assemblage, when suddenly Jove and Mo- wus alike were unceremoniously thrust aside.and, as the folds fell slowly back, before the many-hued eurtain stood a man of stately and ma- Jestic mien.A man whose appearance caused deep-seated consternation, whose forbidding aspect made the very silence portentous and terrifying.With dress slashed and laced, rich in jewellery and precious stones, he remained motionless, regarding the motley gather: ing, while an ominous half-smile played about his features.He said nothing, but his reserve was more sinister than language.Capricious, cruel was his face; in his eyes shone covert enjoyment of the situation.Would he never speak?hand he stroked his beard: other he toyed with the lace on his doublet.: With one \u201cYou were talking, children.\u201d he said, finally, \u201cbefore I came in.\u201d \u201cIf your Majesty,\u201d ventured Triboulet, \u201chas heard all, your Majesty will not blame\u2014us!\u201d And he glanced malevolently toward the duke\u2019s jester, The } who, upon the king's abrupt entrance, had descended from the platform.Observing the emblazoned arms of Charles V upon the dress of the culprit, a faint look of surprise swept Francis\u2019 face.Did it recall that fatal day, when on the field of battle, a rival banner had waved ever iilusively; ever beyond his reach?Now it shone before him as though mocking his {riendship for his one-time powerful enemy, the only man he feared, the lemperor who had overthrown him.The sinister smile of the king gave way to gloomy thoughtfulness.\u201cWho is this knave?\u2019 he asked at length, fixedly regarding the erstwhile badge of his defeat.\u201cA poor fool, Sire!\u201d kneeling man.\u201cThose arms, embroidered on your dress\u2014what do they mean?\u2019 said the king, shortly.\u201cThe arms of my master's master, your Majesty!\u201d was the over-confident answer.\u201cWho is your master?\u201d \u201cThe Duke of Friedwald, Sire, the betrothed of the Princess Louise.\u201d \u201cAnd your purpose here?\u201d \u201cMy master sent me to the princess.\u2018I'll miss thee, rogue,\u2019 said he.''Tis proof of love to send thee, my merry companion of the wine cup!

Look to it you serve not yourself ill!\u201d An instant her eyes flashed upward.\u201cMy mistress is at prayers,\u201d she answered, and looked down again as quickly.\u201cAnd you meanwhile prefer the drollery of these madcaps to the attentions of our courtiers?\u201d said Francis, more gently.\u2018\u2018Certes are you gipsy- born!\u201d Her hands clasped tighter, but she answered not, and he turned more sternly to the new king of the motley.5s for you,\u201d he continued, \u201cfor the present the duke\u2019s gift 18 spared.But let the princess\u2019 fool look to himself.Remember, a guarded tongue insures a ripe old age, and even a throne in Fools\u2019 hall is fraught with hazard.Here, some of you, take this \u2014indi- cating the sleeping Rabelais\u2014\"and throw it into the horse-pond.Yet see that he does not drown\u2014your heads upon it! \u2019'Tis to him France looks for learning.\u201d He paused; glanced back at the kneeling girl.\u201cYou, Mistress Who- Seeks-to-Hide-Her-Face, teach that parrot not fo laugh.\u201d be added grimly.The tapestry waved.Mute the motley throng stared wh:re the king had stood.A light hand touched the arm of the duxe\u2019s fool, and, turning, he beheld the young woman; her eyes were alight with new fire.\u201cIn God's name,\u2019 she exclaimed, passionately, \"let us leave.You have done mischief enough.Follow me.\u201d \u201cWhere'er you will,\u201d he responded gallantly.CHAPTER IIL A GIFT FOR THE DUKE.The sun and the breeze contended with the mist, intrenched in the sironghold of the valley.east the red orb began it3 attack.out of the west rode the swift-moving ~ephyrs, and, vanquished, the wavering vapour stole off into thin air, or hung in isolated wreaths above the foliage on the hillside.Soon the conquering light brightly illumined a medieval castle commanding surround- the victorious breeze whispered loudly dt its gioomy casements.À great Norman stricture, sombre, austere, it was, however, brizhtened with many molern features that threatened gradually io sap much of its ancient majesty.\u201cFill up the moat.\u201d Francis had or- drred.\u201c\u2019Tis barbaric! What lover would sigh beneath walls thirty feet thick! and the poricullis! Away with it.Summon my Italian painiers to adorn the walls.We may yet make habltable these legacies from the savage, brutal past.\u201d So the mighty walls, once set in a comparative wilderness, a tangle of thicket and underbrush, now arose from garden.lawn and park, where even the deer were no longer shy, and the water, propelled by artificial power, shot upward in jets.\u2019 Seated at a window which overlooked this sylvan aspect, modified if not fashioned by man.a young Woman, with seeming conscientiousneas, told her beads.The apartment, though richly furnished, was in keeping with the devout character of ita fair mistress.A brush or aspersorium, used for sprigkling holy.water, Nas leaning ?against the wall.Upon a table lay an open psalter, with its long hanging cover and a ball at the extremity of the forel.Behind two tall candlesticks stood an altar table which, being unfolded, revealed three compartments, each with a picture, painted by Andrea del Sarto, the once honored guest of Francis.The Princess Louise, cousin of Fran- cls\u2019 former queen, Claude, had been reared with rigid strictness, although provided with various preceptors who had made her more or less proficient in the profane letters, as they were then called, Latin, Greek, theology and philosophy.' The fame of her beauty had gone abroad; her hand had been often sought, but the obdurate king had steadfastly refused to sanction her betrothal until Charles, the emperor, himself proposed a union between the fair ward of the French monarch and one of his nobles, the young Duke of Friedwald.To this Francis had assented, for he calculated upon tMus drawing to his interests one of his rival's most chivalrous knights, while far-seeing Charles believed he could not only retain the duke, but add to his own court the lovely and learned ward of the king.And in this comedy of aggrandizement the puppets were willing\u2014as puppets must needs be.Indeed, the duke was seriously enamoured of the princess, whose portrait be had seen in miniature, and had himself importuned the emperor to intercede with Francis, knowing that the only way to the lady's hand was through the good offices of him who aspired to the mastery of all Europe, if not the world.Charles, unwilling to disoblige one whose principality was the most powerful of the Austrian provinces he sought to absorb in his scheme for the unification of all nations, offered no demur to a request fraught with advantage to himself.Besides, cold and calculating though he was, the emperor entertained a certain affection for t duke, who, on one occasion, when Charles had been sore beset by the troops of Solyman, had extricated his royal! leader from the alternatives of ignominious capture or an untimely end.Accordingly, a formal proposal, couched in language of warm friendship to the king, was despatched by the emperor.When Francis, with some misgiving, arising from experience with womankind, laid the matter before Louise, she, to his surprise, proved her devotion and loyalty by her entire subniissiveness, and the king, kissing her hand, generously vowed the wedding festivities should be worthy of her beauty and fealty.Was she thinking of that scene now and the many messages which had sub- seq:iently passed between her distant lover and herself, as the white fingers ceased to tell the beads?Was she questioning fate and the future when the rosary fell from her hand and the clinking of the great glass beads on the hard floor aroused her from a reverie?Languidly she rose, crossed the room toward a low dressing table, \u2018when at the same time one of the several doors of the apartment opened, admitting the jestress, Jacqueline, whose long, flowing gown of dark From the : ! green Lore no distinguishing mark of tLe motley she had assumed the night before.That dreamy, almost lcthar- gic gaze of the princess rested for a ; moment upon tle ardent eyos of the maid, who stood motionless be\u2019ore her.\u201cThe duke\u2019s jester.who arrived last night.awaits your pleasure without,\u201d said the girl.\u2019 \u201cPid him enter.Stay' The fillet for my hair.Seems he a merry fellow?\u201d \u201cSo merry, Madam, he mimicked the king last night in Fool's hall.beat Triboulet, appointed knaves in jest to high offices, add had been lLianged for his forwardness but that he narrowly saved his neck by a slender device.\u201d \u201cWhat; all that in so short a time!\u201d exclaimed the princess.\u201cA most pre sumptuous rogue!\u201d - \u201cThe kiag.madam, was behind the tapestry.and heard ft all; his appointment of Thouy as treasurer, be- ! cause he is apt at palming money; Brusquet, governor of Guienne, since he governs bis own home so ill; and Villot, admiral of the fleet, that he might sail away and leave his pretty wife behind him.\u201d \u201cI'l.warrant me the story is known to the entire court ere this,\u201d laughed the lady.\u201cWon't Madame d'Étaille be in a temper! And the admiral when he hears of it\u2014on the high seas! The king was eavesdropping, you say, and yet spared the jester?He must bear a charmed life.\u201d \u201cHe dubbed himself the duke\u2019s gift, Madam, and boldly claimed privilegé \u201cSurely,\u201d murmured the princess, \u201cthere will be no lack of entertainment with this knave under the same roof.Too much entertainment, I fear me.Well, admit the bold fellow.\u201d Crossing to the door, the maid pushed it back and the figure of the jester passed the threshold\u2014a figure so graceful and well-built, the lady's eyes, turning toward him with mild enquiry, lingered with approval; lingered, and were upraised to a fair, handsome face, when approval gave way to wonder.Was this the imprudent, hot-brained rogue who had swaggered in Fool's hall, and made a farce of the affairs of the nation?His countenance seemed that of a courtier rather than a lowborn scape-grace; his bearing in consonance.as, approaching the princess, he knelt near the edge of her aweep- ing crimson garment.Quietly the mald withdrew to a corner of the apartment where she seated herself on a low stool, her fingers idly playing with the delicate carvings of a vase of silver, containing water that had been blessed and standing conveniently near the aspersorium.\u201cYou come from the Duke of Fried- wald, fool?\u201d sald the mistress, recovering from her surprise.\u201cYes, princess.\u201d Louise smiled, and looked toward the maid as if to say: \u201cWhy, he's a mode} of decorum!\u201d but the girl continued regarding the figures on the vase, seeming indifferent to the scene before her.\u201cl hear, sirrah.but a poor account of your behaviour last night,\u201d continued the princess.\u201cYou must have a care, or I shall send you back to-the duke and command him to have you whipped.You have been here but overnight, yet how many enemies have you made?The king; the admiral, and\u2014last but not least\u2014a certain lady.Poor fool! you may have saved your neck, but for how long?Fie! what an account must I give of you to your master!\u201d \u201cAh, Madam,\u201d he answered quickly, \u201cyou show me now the folly of it all.\u201d \u201cLet me see,\u201d she went on more gently, \u201cwhat we may do, since you are penitent?The king may forgive; the admiral forget, but the lady\u2014she will neither forget nor forgive.Fortunately, I think she fears to disoblige me, and, if I let it be known you are an indispensable part of my house- hold\u2014\" she paused thoughtfully\u2014'besides, she has a little secret she would keep from the king.Yes; the secret will save you!\" And Louise smiled knowingly, as one who, although most devout, perhaps had missed a few paters or credos in listening to idle worldly gossip.\u201cMadam,\u201d he said, raising bis head, \u201cyou overwhelm me with your goodness.\u201d \u201cOh, I like her not; a most designing creature,\u201d returned the lady carelessly.\u2018But you may rise.Hand me that embroidery,\u201d she added, when he had obeyed.\u201cHow do I know the duke, my betrothed, whom I have never seen, has not sent you to report upon my poor charms?What if you were only his emissary?\u201d \u201cPrincess,\u201d he answered, \u201cI am but a fool; no emissary.If I wWere\"\u2014 \u201cWell?\u201d : She smiled induigently at the open admiration written so boldly upon his face.and, encouraged by her glance, he regarded her swiftly, comprehensively: the masses of hair the fillet ill-conflned; eyes, soft-lidded, dreamy as a summer's day; a figure, pagan In generous proportions; a foot, however, petite, Parisian, peeping from beneath a robe, heavy, voluminous, vivid! \u201cIf you were?\" she suggested, passing a golden thread through the cloth she held.\u201c| would write him the miniature he has of you told but half the truth.\u201d \u201cSo you have seen the miniature?It lies carelessly about.no doubt?\u201d Yet her tone was not one of displeasure.\u201cThe duke frequently draws it from his breast to look at it.\u201d \u201cAnd so many handsome women in the kingdom, too!\u201d laughed the princess.\u201cA tiny, paltry bit of vellum!\" © Her lips curled indulgently, as of a person sure of herself.Did not the fool's glance pay her that tribute to which she was not a stranger?Her lashes, suddenly lifted, met bis fully, and drove his look, grown overbold, to cover.The princess smiled; she might well believe the stories about him; yet was mot ill-pleased.\u2018Like master; like man!\u201d says the proverb.She continued to survey the graceful figure, well-poised head and handsome features of the jester.- fRo-pa Continue) | a - \u201cBLINKBONNIE,\u201d Day and Evening Classes open WEDNESDAY, SEPT.2nd.\u2014 724 \u2014\u2014 Sherbrooke Street.GC.A.BOTSFORD, SECRATARY.THE MONTREAL CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC (Founded 1888, by Mr.C.Æ.Seifert).835 and $40 Dorchester st.Thorough musical education, from the very beginning to the highest development.Consultation bour 5 to 6 dally.For prospectus apply to Mr.C.B.Seifert, the Musica!

July, £183 10s.; August, £358 ls 3d; September, £282 2s.2d; Uctober, £486 7s.6d.; November, £223 78; | December, £52.The heavy amounts in im w When the | October, af course, do not imply that more { motoring is done in that month than any other; the summonses, it must be remembered, are often returnable several weeks after the committal of the offence.The total for the seven months is no less than £1,844 16s.5d., or an average per month of £263 10s, 11d.; This may be counted fairly -atiff for a start, especialy when it is remembered that nine-tenths of the convictions are for merely technical infractions of the absurd speed limit of twelve miles an bour, which even an anti-automobolist House of Commons bas just raised to twenty.Let us take, however, the figures for the current year.It was a bad winter, and even automobile travelling was correspondingly at a discount, but let the figures spea for themselves, as follows.Jepuery, £88 11s.8d-; February, £34 13s.; March, £90 12s.6d.; April, £273 9s.; May, £608 17s.6d.; June, £992 6s.0d.; July, £921 10s.6d.; A t (first three weeks).£1146 Us.6d.This brings the recorded total for the current year to the enormous figure of £4158 14s.6d.The bulk of this, of course, is levied in the summer months, and the figures for the next few weeks will doubtless be materially heavier.It may be added that the amounts given are exclusive of the large sums paid m costs, save in sundry insfances, where the items for the fines and costa respectively have not been separately named.POCKETING THE MONET.The question naturally arises\u2014to what purpose are these large sums devoted?Presumably to the reliet of the county rates, as in the wajority of cases the convictions do not take place in urban districts.This in a large measure explains the affected hostility of the farming interest to the growing use of motor vehicles; indeed, it is an open secret that the chief constables of more than one county are egged on by the local farmers to harry automo- bilists with a view of reducing the amounts the farmers have to pay in highway rates Overtly they indulge in diatribes against the wicked automebilist; secretly, they bless his advent, and bleed him to the utmost of their power! And it must be borne in mind that the large sums that have been quoted above are not made up from an even distribution of convictions from every district in the kingdom, but are amassed in the main from certain counties where the sport of motor-baiting is most energetically pursued.Huntingdonshire ja, perhaps, the worst example.The chief constable of that county stated several months ago in his annual report that over £400 had been drawn in fines from passing automobolists, This county, it may be stated, is almost depopulated.There runs through it, moreover.a section of our most modern and, for safe and s y travelling, our best highway\u2014vis., the Great North d, which was intentionally built away from towns and villages as far aa possible.For months past a regular system of what may trubfuly be described ag legalized black- jailing bas been adopted in the following ashion: HOW THEY DO IT.A constable stands outside Stilton village and professes to time approaching motor-cars as they pass a building a quar ter of a mile away; on any but the clearest of \u2018days, however, it is impossible even to see à car until it comes considerably nearer.The timing of the village constable in question, bowever, is invariably accepted as accurate, and though there rat tn rn Wage on the stretch of road in question, and rarely a pedestrian from morn till eve, of £5 and costs are regularly imposed.e spe method is adopted on another etreight stretch of road ot the bern limit of de sanre country.ceman hides i the ee ut Alconbury Hill and ig cars as pass a distant point.ot only that, but after he has sto the drivers and taken their names addresses, he times them a second time as they rein the distance.Having found these methods so profitable, the Huntingdonshire police went one better and told off men for motor-catching by night as well.An autemobilist who was making a through journdy to York on a slow car was stop ped at 4 am.in broad daylight by two constables.He bad not met a soul during the previous forty miles, nor did be meet another for the succeeding forty.Fortunately a good deal of this sort of thing will cease when the new Motorcars Act comes into force.Not only will the speed limit be raised to twenty miles an hour, but the magistrates are bound to pay more attention than heretofore to the question of whether any one is endangered.Two witnesses, moreover, will be necemary instead of one, and the expense of providing these st every point where timing is undertaken will somewhat limit the enormous profits which are rapidly being made in one quarter or an- The Zionist Proposal.Special to the Montreal Sar.London, September 7.\u2014The Times in an editorial discussing the Uganda Zlonist colonization scheme, ques tions the advantage of any project tending to accentuate and confirm the Jews in their separateness as a race.It points out that the success of the colony would mean that men worthy [to take part fn the councils of.the -|opsaing: for great talent and ambition.Uganda would, afford: \u201cén \u2018fosuficient VALUABLE COLLECTION - - ~ +OF CANADIAN STAMPS.lan} Aivociated\u2019 Press.is Th Bhs de shaped Newfoundlands, early issues of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island{ Two specimens of five cent stamps known as Connell, are considered, by philatelists the most valusbie, Amongst others are halved stamps of\u2019 New Brunswick, Nova Sco- tia, Newfoundland and Prince Bdward Island.These were the outcome of \u2018he reduction of the postal fee.Pending the issue of fresh stamps the public was allowed to cut existing stamps in halves, and to use each half./ HEAVY PASSENGER TRAFFIC ON BOTH LINES.Traffic is exceedingly heavy on both the Grand Trunk and the Canadian Pacific Railway at the present time.Nearly all the regular traine to Toronto are running in two sections, and the same remark ap- Plies to trains coming from the Queen ity.;
