"I was thinking of a certain moriung some three and a half years ago, when this man vowed that he would crush rae and every- thing else that stood in his path," the young man explained, "and I was wondering how he might feel if the situation was destined to be reversed." Then he told her the little story about the beautiful rose, which Al- lison had playfully thi."own at him on that lovely summer day â€" how John Hubbard had afterward pur- posely knocked it to the floor and ruthlessly set his heel upon it, and warned him that it was typical of his own fate. "But I have it even now," he ccaitinued, opeuing a, tiny locket that was attached to his watch- chain ; "I carefully gathered up every leaf and petal, and, later laid them incased in this, vowing that it should be my mascot, in- stead of the sj'mbol of my defeat and ruin." "Put these safely away, Gerald," she said, as she placed the certiA- cat<»s in his hand; "then read your aunt's letter â€" you do not half-know your own history yet â€" for, doubt- less, it contains a great deal that will interest you, and, possibly, some othsr important 'nformation." (To be contibuod.) â- niEE PLANTING IN HOLLAND. EIiuH and Lindens the Rest, but the Kim iH the Uai-dlcr. There is perhaps no other well populated country in the world which has eo many well wooded | towns as has Holland. Most of the I streets and grachts or canals havej avenues of trees. Utrecht has two! rows of tre^s on either side of its â-  quajnt canals. Its canal bank.s arc. coustructed as if in two stories. The lower story, almost flush with: the water level, is lined with ware-) houses ami vai»t«, while the upper story has dwellings and shops. Both levels are planted with trees. So many avenues of trees make a Dutch town exceedingly pleasant, especially on a hot d.ay. The foliage tempers the glare of the sun and the vistas of green are refreshing to the eye. These abundajit growths in thickly populated towns' are highly useful as well as orna- mental. It is recognizM that from a hygienic point of view they are' valuable to the citizens. I In Holland these useful services^ are gratefully recognized and the trees are carefully tended by the; municipalities. The cost of this! care per capita in the different! towns varies somewhat. La-st year, | for example, Utrecht devoted 21 1 cents (Dutch) to its trees for each inliabitant and The Hague 28 cents, for each of its 259,000 citizens. It! takes 2jj Dutch centr to equal aa, American cent. About ten years ago the annual cost of caring for the trees of The Hague was 19 cents (Duteh) per capita, but since i that time many new trees and shrubs have been planted through- 1 out the city and new parks havei been laid out. j I It has been found that not every kind of tree will thrive in the streets of a town, for trees have, many enemies both above and bo- low ground.

"But who was Miriam Harris?" queslioncd her ladyship, still study- ing the certificate. GcraUl turned beck to the table and gathered up a couple of other paperx lying there. "Miriam Harris, according to these documents, was the only child of Martha Wincliestor, who married « certain Arthur Harris in 18â€", â- ome twent>five years previous to the date of those slips that you have. Hhe must have been a youn- ger sister of Aunt Honor's, which He sprang to the door, and was gone before she could detain him many years !

Gerald was abi>ent fully ten min- utes, and when he returned he was startlingly pale, while there was a look of stem deteimination written upon every line of his face.

"Well, it is all very, very •trange," thoughtfully observed Lady Bromley, "but 1 wonder why the knowledge of it has been kept from you ! Why, if you are Adam Brewster's son, were you not under your father's cari to profit by the advantage and position which he was to strangely removed, marry ing that other girl, who appeared as the own and only daughter of the banker â€" all seem to point to that as the goal he was seeking." "Yes; those are my views exact- ly," said Gerald; "and his union with this Miss Anna Brewster was the cleverest move of all, for to him it would prove a bulwark of safety for all time- providing no other flaw was discovered in his work. If he had simply employed those women as accomplices, and then let them go, after paying them a certain price, he would al- ways have been in danger of ex- posure.

"I believe I have found my peb- ble in those papers which you hold in your hands," he conclude<i, as he pointed to him with a finger that trembled visibly.

What is anything in life to me now that I have lost you?"

PIRATK8 OF THE AlE. the Little Danger of a RaM on Bank of England. The Bank of England has at pre- sent £40,000,000 of gold stored iu its vaults. This is not a record amount, but it has not often beeu exceeded. As a prominent finan- cier recently suggested that some steps should be taken to protect the nation's treasure-house from possible raids by toreign dirigibles or areroplaues, it may be interest- ing to estimate just what the dang- er from this source is. Assuming that an airship might float over the Old Lady of Thread- needle street and throw out a bomb which would wreck the traesure vaults below, of what benefit would it be to the elevator? Sovereigns run about fifffty-six to the pound, avoirdpois, so that, roughly, the £40,000,000 in the bank would weigh 320 tons. Zep- pelin's airship, the most formidable by far of a > dirigibles, has never yet attempted to carry more than 26 passengers, whose combined weight would probably be no more than 4,000 pounds, or two tons. It would require a fleet of 160 of these aerial monsters to carry off the bank's gold. One of them could not possibly take away more than £250,000, and most airships could not make an ascent with a fifth of that amount. A passenger-carrying aeroplane may be said to have a cargo-carry- ing capacity of 280 pounds â€" rough- ly, £14,000 in gold. It would toke 3,000 such machines to get away with the £40,000,000 in the bank. NATURALLY SO. "I wonder what man on record called the biggest bluff t" "I 'gueis It was the man who named Qibraltar." TOE HUTTO?r BlADS. Trapping Them Only Means of Livelihood of InbabKants. Some time back a party of twen- ty-five interested m nature study and kindred subjects formed them- selves into a parly to make a sea tour among the islands lying be- tween Australia and Tasmania and off the coast of the latter place, says the Sydney limes. One of the party on ills return said there are hundreds of islands in the locality mentioned which from a distance look like mere barren rocks, but on closer exam- ination prove to be fertile terri- tory, many of the islands being in- habited by white communities or native and half carte people who have occupied themselves for many years as trappers of mutton birds for export to Tasmania and for their own consumption. The aver- age cateh on one island is about 1,- 500,000 birds a year, and the in- come from this source amounts to between £5,00 and £6.000. The dark skinned people who oc- cupy Cape Barren Island are of all shades, from the mere oug^restion of tint to pare black, and they have been of this variegated skin color for nearly 100 years. There is a school on this inland attended by sixty or seventy cLiiuren, the teacher being pat*, hy the Tasman- ian Government, which Katisfies its conscience in respect to these un- fortunates by merely givintj them instruction in "the three R's" and takini^ no further trouble to help them to put their eiucation to prac- tical account when they have fin- ished their perioa of school. They are naturally nomadic in their in- stincts and do not know how to organize their affairs, hence as soon as they leave the school tliey take on thT mode of life of their elders, living wpII when the birds are plen- tiful and going short to a greater or less extent in the off season. The touring pa.ty concerned it- self lartrely with the Hird life found UDon t'lc various islands, the speci- mens ineludin!? albatross, frannet, gulls, dotterelB, oyster catchers, pelicans, geesf^ and mutton birds. On Albatross Island, tlie bird the place is named after, hatches its young, and it is saiif that this is the only known place in the world where the bird makes its nest, an old theory being that these myster- ious creatures hatched out their young on their bucks, a theory no doubt absurd, yet forgivable in the early days whou nobody had dis- covered their hutching place. Mutton birds flock on v.».riou8 is- lands iu the vicinity in myrai<ls and the eggs of various birds abound in such huge numbers that ship- loads of them oould bo gathered with comparatively little trouble. It is said that numbers of eggs from these islands find their way into market and a-t gold as duck eggs, which tl ey resemble in ap- pearance and davor.

Not only thi», but also the regulations in the Act, are being violated. Seedsmen just- ly protest against farmers who pro- duce grass and clo\er seeds, Bcft- ing them to neighbors, when tko standard i.s lower than the law al- lows them to handle. Farmers seem to forget that thtfy are liable under the heed Contral Act. The only exemption is th^t the farmer is not obliged to have "each and every receptacle, pack- age, sack or bag containing sueb seeds, or a label securely attach^ thereto, marked in a plain and ip- delible manner," showing name and address of seller, kind of seW contained, and conunon na^mes of weed seeds present. Instaiices axe known where those who deal in seeds refused to purchase lots of seeds from growers because of the preienc© of foul seeds, and whei'o the farmer tlieu sold the same seed to his neighbors. Seed represented as being number one, must nojj contain more than one of the fol- lowing weed seeds per 1,500 of tho seed represented : Wild Mustard; 'i'umbling Mustard, Hare'e-eap Mustard, ball Mustard, Field. Pennycress (IStinkweed or Frenc.*!.

For the general trade in seeds, the following section applies to all : "No person shall sell or offer, ex- pose or have in his possession for sale, for tho purpose of seeding in Canada, any seeds of timothy, al- sike or red clover, or any mixture ciintaiaing the said seeds, if the Boeda of the weeds named in this Act aro present in a greater pro- l»ortion than five to one thousand o( the seed sold or offere<l, exposed or held in possession for sale.' Every intelligent faimer realizes kiiat ouly '.'lean farming pays, and that, in order to keep down weeds, strict core must be taken to avoid introducing the pests through grain, grass or clover seeds. Pro- tection is afforded against all ven- dors, whether seedsman, general «tore'u<^ppr or farmer. In order to be fair to those who handle seeds, the Act stipulates â-  that complaint must be made with- in seven days. The section relat- ing to this reads: "Any sample of seeds taken from any seed found or Buspecteil t<j be sold in violation of the provisions of this Act shall be taken and forwarded to au ofii- cial seed analyst : (a> From seeds tnat are sold in sealed packages, sacks, bags, or receptacles, at the time of breaking the seal thereon; and (b) from veivds thit are not sold in sealed packages, sacks, bags or receptacles, within seven days from tho date on which tho seeds entered into the personal possession and became the proper- ty of the purchaser." Samples for official analybis are to be drawn in the presence of the vendor or two disinterested witnesses, and for- warded with a certiliod statement, accompanied by name and address of the vendor, and particulars re- lating to the seed. Those making purchases of seed would do well to examine it care- fully at the time of purchase. If there is ground for complaint, write at once to the Seed Commis- sioner, Ottawa, Ont. It is his duty to make investigation, and do everything possible to protect tho purchaser from undue contamina- tion of his fields with foul seeds, and, if circumstances warrant, to prosecute the vendor of such seed. Four conditions form exceptions to the Act. viz. : (a) Any person growing or selling seeds for t.ho purpose of food ; (b) auy person sol- ling seeds direct t< menhauts, to be cleaned or graded "before being offered for sale for seeding purpos- es; (c) seed held in storage, to be reclaimed before being sold for setding purposes; (d) seed marked "not aosolutoly clean," and held or sold for export only. All seed held for salo in Canada for seeding pur- poses, comes under the Act, and offenders are liable to prosecution. During the past few^ weeks sam- ples have been collected from stock sold by farmers, and if there is proof of violation of the act, the offenders are liable to prosecutiou. In the interests of Canadian agri- culture, those farmers who are guilty of selling low-grade seed should be dealt with just as promptly as they would have other \endors treated.â€" Farmer's Advo- cate.
