'â-  £ do not refuse to listen to you, said Gr.ice. " Say whit you have to say, Mrs. Wagner." " 1 wish to say it to you alone. '• That will do no good, as I should tell it at once to Ger ild, be it what it may so you may as well, M s. Wagner, Bay it here, that he may listen to it at once." "Very well. You will not obey me and I shall be forced to find one whom you must listen to but, for you consolation, I can tell you thar yoar Gerald that you make so mu3h fuss with has fired on a king's ship. and so, if anything happens wrong about the Rift, he will he worse off than any one eke." "That is false," said Gerald. " I thought so, dear," said Grace. " Oh, you two wretches " screamed Mrs. Wa "ner. " I will be even with you both be^'re I have done with you. 1 could tell you something that you would like to hear, but I won't- -no, I won't. Y'ou might have made friends wttb me and then I woild have told you, but I won't now. Do you hear me?" "Very well," said Grace. This indifiference to her shouts and to her blandishments raised the ire of Mrs. Wag- ner to fever heat, and going up close to Grace she said tt I know your fatherâ€" ha ha How t Via Well, I Dolan is your my ire starts now â€" ha ha ha don't mind telling you this much. said Gerald. " Then nor your father. " Not heisfather," she is not my â€" " " Sister " gasped Grace. ' ' Nor is Dolan your father, for the matter of that," added Mrs. Wagner. " We may still, then, dear Grace, be brother and sister." " We are, Gerald. We shall ever beâ€" m affectionâ€" in dear affection, if not in fact." Ever and ever," said Gerald. as they went, they made np their minds thoroughly to trust him and to get him to concoct with them some means of saving Captain Mooquet and Marie from the cabin of the Rift. The old sailOT was anxioosly exi»ecting them, and when they appeared, he said " Come right away, as fast as yon mn, on to the plateau, my children; I want to speak to yon both." " And we to yon, Joseph." " Well, then. 111 hearyon first." " No, Joseph," said Grace, " you tell us what you want to say, and then we will make every confidence with yon, for you have a good heart." "^hank yon, miss, for saying that, and God bless you. Well, then, wha*- 1 want to say is, that I think Captain Dolan is going to desert the ship." " Lord bless me I mean the cavern and I don't mean that he is merely going to desert it, but I think he is going to betray the whole lot of us to the preventives." " Indeed, Joseph " " Yes, Master Gerald. I know him pret- ty well, ,yon see, and have had more than one voyage with him Vhen he was only a smuggler. I'm afeard, now, he's something worse." " H% is, indeed " "Just so. Master Gerald, and I think he knows the game is pretty well up here, and he will be off with all he can lay his hands on and the crew will find, before they can say Jack Robinson, that they will all be taken." " Yes, yes," said Gerald, " and that was why he wished so particularly to make me go this one voyage â€" it being his last â€" in order that I should be convicted with them." " That's about it. Master Gerald." " O Gerald Gerald said Grace, " what shall we do " " Licvaut " said Joseph. " What, Josephâ€" what is that?" " Be ofl" miss â€" you, and me, and Gerald, and one more." "Who is that?" " Martin, and here he is." " Well, Bo," said Martin, as at this mo- ment he «time on to the plateau. ',how is the weather " " West by north, mate, and puffy. Here's the two children. I've been a talking to 'em about him.' "Dolan?" " Aye, aye mate, and I've been a saying that you and me, and them, too, had better up anchor and sheer off, with all the canvas we can set to the wind." " I think so, too," said Martin. " Then hear me," said Gerald. " I can- not go without others. There are two peo- ple in the cabin of the Rift that I have promised to stay by, and sink or swim with." Martin nodded. "I thought as much. X^ie Frenchman's Very good," says Mrs. Wagner " and little girl i.s there, is she not? now when you want to know a little more, perliaps you will be civil to me, for I only can tell you and make my terms with you." Mrs. Wagner turned away, and as she did so she muttered something to herself about Dolan being out of his senses and that it was high time she (Mrs. Wagner) looked after herself. ., j Grace and Gerald continued silent for soma time and looked in each other's faces by the dim light that marked the recess where they were and then Gera,ld took Grace's hands and placed them upon his breast as he said "My Grade, on board the Rift is this young French girl whom I saved from the sea. °She is very affectionate, and â€" and â€" I ' thinkâ€" " The color went and came in the fa f (irace and she could only see Gerald through a mist of tears. " You think, dear Gerald, that she loves you. I, too, love you, and so will that â€" thatâ€"" She turned her face away and Gerald feh the little hands trembling on his breast. " Yes, Gracie â€" yes " " That I hope you love her and will be so â€" so very happy all your life with her, and I will love her too, (ierald, for your sake â€" I, too, will love her." The large tear-drops fell from the eyes of Grace and then she made an effort to smile and to dash them from her eyes. Gerald drew her gently toward him. " My Gracie â€" sister â€" you shall be loved with ail a brother's proudest affection. If no sister, there is none other who will ever be to me what you are, my Gracie. I love you â€" you only â€" you now â€" you in the past, when we were both little children â€" you in time to come, forever and forever " Grace covered her face with both her hands and some hysterical sobs came from her. Then a light footstep sounded close to them and a voice said " Ware spies. Master Gerald. She's com- ing to liiten."' I "Ah, Joseph " " Hush, sir Mother Wagner is in the â-  oflJng." I " Oh, Joseph you will help us We will trust you." " Y'ou come to my lookout." " The first plateau." " Y^es, soon." " At once. Speak of something else, Gracie dear The sea â€" the weather â€" any- thing. " And did the ship fire on the Rift " said Grace. " Fie, dear But the Rift outsailed it. The schooner could not keep up with ns," " Bah " said Mrs. W»g°«" as she crept away. "They are bad children yet. I could make something out of him, I fancy, but it wants caution. Dolan is mad about his ghost of a French girl in the cabin of the Rift." Mrs. Wagner finding that there was no- thing to learn by her espial npon Grace and Gerald, made no secret of her attempt to overhear them, but walked' away witiiout the least regard to secrecy in her footsteps. The first platean which the old seaman Joseph had mentioned as where he would be found was that lookout on the faoe of Ute cliff where it was, as a general thmgj his duty to be, and where he had held several conferences with poor Gi-ace, while Ger- ald was nuJiing that enforced voyage in the Rift. They both now sought Joseih'spoBt, and. " Come, detf,' bar wm witiiiB ^oa want xeafe, GenUL**^ It was dfl^ in the nigbt wlMlt little JMurty were assrauued on 1 ^â- tom of the old eUff.

When Captain Morton went from Admirat Clifford so abmpdy for the prnpose of tittk.- ins the woman Wagner, frona whom he now f ^y expected he shoold be able, 1^ fair means or by fonl, to procure the infocnaticm he required, in order to enable him at once to clasp to his heart his long-lost child, he was in that -state of mental excitement that submerges everything in the one dominant idea. Tliat the cottages hd aoqj^t by the sea beach were some distance off on the coast, and lying in a hollow of the beach he had been sufficiently informed, and it at once appeared to him that the best and the easi- est way to reach them was by crnsing round tothem in his own yacht. On board that yacht he had likewise seve- ral men, on whom he knew he could depend in any emergency to perform for him any ser- vice that required courage and address, and how could he tell but wat those qualities might be largely called into action yet in the proceedings necessary to enable him to gain possession of his daughter 'If he could tand that she was at one of the cottages, with what joy would he clasp her at once to his arms, and despite any and all possible opposi- tion that might be offered to him carry her on board the Nautilus, In the noble little vessel that had brought him in safely over the swelling billows of the \nde Atlantic he felt that he had a friend and ah aHy, an tti the few brave hearts who had adventured iihat Wyage wjith him he khew hehsdrtiipBe to -n^lom he hiitd only to say that heart and handjwere wanted in the right and they were- all his own. â-  'â- â- 'â- -" â-  -W Thus was it, then, that Captain Morton felt much more hopeful of the recovery of his daughter, by going to the cottages by the beach in his yaoht, the Nautilus, than as if he had sought them by land and with the whole posse comitatus of Falmouth at his heels. Skimming gallantly over the waves, the Nautilus soon passed the group of cottages, in one of which the old dying â€" now dead â€" smuggler, Hutchin, had made to Captain Morton such important revelations. After that 6p^ was passed there were several bluffs and little headlanks, and there, in a wildly picturesque spot, where the full force Sg-rji*^*^ -:?is. vf-. tar tile " She is, " I thought it by the poor old man's work, but how she got there I can't think. Dolan has told Bowline that he has seen a ghost in the cabin, and that he wouldn't go into it for a thousand pounds. He wants Bowline to go and clear out his lockers for him." "I saved Marie Mocquet," said Gerald. " I saved her from the wreck of the Coquette, and brought her into the cabin, by the help of her father, through the port." Martin whistled. "Hold hard," said Joseph. "There's wind enough." " All right. Bo, Well, Master Gerald, we will do the best we can. A Frenchman, I take it, is, after all, a human being." " No doubt of it," said Joseph. " And he can't help being a Frenchman." " Not a bit, mate." " And this one, I will say,' seems to me as if he had the feeling of a Christian. Now, Master Gerald, we will get him and his baby away somehow." " It is not a baby," said Gerald. "Oh, ain't it? Very good! I propose that we wait quietly till all's at rest in the sea cave, which won't be till after tiie cargo has been taken to the shore. That Mr. Suffles will be there to buy it, as usual and then, when the boats come back, Dolan will go to rest and the Rift will be left to ride out the night with only one man on board, as a night watch." '•' But how shall we get off?" said Gerald. " Can we get to the ravine easily from the sea cave I only know of a way through the large cavern." " Oh you leave that to us," said Martin. " I dare say. Master Grerald, that Joseph and I know a little more of the old cliff than you do." "And now, mate," said Joseph, "when we get away where are we to go to " " Look here," said Martin, " I think that you and I, my.Bo, have had enough of this kind of life. Let us make our way right away eastward till we come to some nice little place, and then we will buy a boat, and set up respectable, and get a living for these two young ones by fishing, and what else, turns tip. I have more than enough money to set us afloat." " That's it " said Joseph. " And do you think," said Gerald, with emotionâ€"" God bless and reward you both â€" do you think that I would.let myself be a burden to you, and my dear iSraoe, either Oh, no-^io I will find, something to do that will help us all."

A brief order brought up the Nautilus on another tack, and she beat up for the little half bay, half indentation â€" ^rugged and unequal in its dimensions as it was â€" on the margin of which were the cottages. Then a touch of the helm and the Nau- tilus rode so lightly off and on the wind that she scarcely shifted her position twenty yards in the water, although she carried one sail and there was nothing to hold her to the bottom of the deep. A boat was lowered from her side and with one of his men only Captain Morton pulled for the shore. That shore presented rather a curious as- pect. The beach was low and level, just before the eight or ten cottages, and looked from the sea like very fine sand, but it was in reality rather rough shingle, mingled with the debris of the chalk cliffs. Lying on the beach were various fishing nets drying for although the men who com- posed the lawless crew of Dolan never gave themselves to so calm and tranquil a pursuit as fishing, yet some of them had families and the children had taken to the nets, and had made a kind of pleasurable business of that which in the first place their fathers had ef- fected to do, as a mere blind for their more nefarious and guilty pursuits. From several of the chimneys of the huts there curled thin wreaths of smoke, and a couple of boats on the beach, both in good order with the oais carefully secured in them and the thole pins hanging by cord, testified that care was taken to have, at all events, the means of readily going to sea from that stop. The boat of Captain Morton grounded oh the shingle and he sprang to shore. A ragged looking urchin, with his trousers curled up to his knees, came into the water to help pull up the boat, but it was not Cap- tain Morton's instructions that it should be " No," he said, " that wiU do." The boy looked at him, then inquiringly and said, as he touched his cap "The spring, sir." "What spring?' " Thereaway, sir. They say it's all rain that's in the water, but I never seed rain that away like, mr, afore." A chalybeate spring gushed out 6f_a huge fragment ef the fallen rock and Captain Mor- ton shook his head as he said " No, I do not come for the spring â€" ^which is the cottage of Mrs. Wagner?" " That one, sir." The boy indicated one of the cottages, from the chimney of which came rather more smoke than from any of the others, and then he added "But I don't think she's at home« «r thongH mayhap, old Madge be." " Who is old JkHidge?" «^e Hunds tte eottace whiW iin. Wagner goes a fishing with Mr. Dolan. I'll go and see if she-be there, though, for a pemay, sir.' ' ' 1 can do that myself.

The women of Toronto are getting up a petition to Mayor Rowland to initiate a a movement looking to ahortor hoxus for saleswomea ia r^ail stH:es. They base their application on the fact that Mr. How- land was supported by women in the late mayoralty contest. Duncan Cameron, of Dunwich, who was sentenoitd for fwgery two years ago has served his term in the Kingston Penitentiary and has returned home. He was visited while in prison by Rev. Thos. Bone, mis- sionary, who states that he has become a converted man and has had'charge of a Bible class in the penitentiary for a number of months past. At the inquest on the body of Michael De- lan J, a section man from Cataract, who was found dead on the Canadian Pacific Railway track, the verdict was that he came to his death purely by accident, no blame be ing attached to any of the railway employ- ees. His left arm was torn off, his right leg fractured, the neck dislocated and the base of the skull fractured. He leaves a wife and family. Ther6 is a big sensation in Frankford over the recent death of a lady and the early marriage of her husband. After the death of the lady, who was beloved by a large number of the villagers, a few days only elapsed before the husband sought another wife, which aroused no little gossip. It is now hinted that the first wife may have met with foul play and her body is likely to be exhumed. A brutal murder was recently committed near the mouth of the Eraser River, B. C. A man named J. A. Harris, not having been seen f* r some days, a neighbor visited his house, found the body on the floor with three cuts on the head and one on the throat, the latter nearly severing the head from the body. There is no clue to the murderer. The knife with which the mur- der was committed was found near the body. The house was ransacked and the door clos- ed and locked from outside. The latest report from the discoverers of spirits on the ship Squando at Bathurst, N. B., is that the spirits are engaged in unload- ing and reloading the cargo every night. Two good men and true swear that the side of the ship opens at midnie'ht and the spirits proceed to move the deals out on the ice, be- ginning with those in the lower hold. After discharging part of the cargo they reload. There ai-e four ghosts in all. One of them has no head, and he is thus enabled to carry deals without making himself lopsided. Mrs. Cooper, whose husband met his death in a gravel pit last summer, has removed to Salem and is keeping house for Mr. Prior. She weighs 272 pounds, and claims to be the largest woman in the country. She is only 32 years of age, and is the mother of two children. Mr. Prior weighs about 135 pounds, is in the neighborhood of three score, and the father of a grown-up family. Rumor says that this female Sampson and this well-known ZachiBus are soon to be made one flesh. One day recently Mr. James Poe, a Bid- dulphfarmer, was driving toward St. Mary's. There was a heavy snowstorm prevailing at the time, and as he approached the crossing he could hear or see no train near. He drove on, but just €is his horses got on the track a snow plough came rushing along, striking the sleigh, and throwing the horses on one side of the track, and Mr. Poe and part of the sleigh many feet distant on the other side. The horses were instantly kill- ed, but their driver miraculously escaped. The sleigh was knocked into pieces. Mr. J. P. Ashley, of Nanaimo, !^. C, writes as follows to the Albany Journal â€" " I saw some time ago an extract from your paper stating that Sergeant somebody, 'I forget the name,' who was with the Greely expedition, intended to make another at' tempt to reach the North Pole. I have made a machine with which I can make the distance from 80 to 90 degree in from 2D to 30 hours' travel and carry two persons be- sides myself and 200 poundJs of baggage.

That which was skinmied last has not had time to get into uniform condition with the rest, and niost oF its butter goes into the buttermilk. It also makes butter come slowly, and after a long time has been needlessfy spent in churning. It is important that laad plaster be sowa early enoueh in the season to have it tiioronghly dissolved by rains. Any time in the winter is better than after dry weather has come in sjning. It is a common, practice in places where it is used larsely to sow it on clover in the winter before other and hurrying work begins. A farrow cow may be fattened by high feedtntr while still giving milk. But unless there is especial use for the milk it is not good policy to do so. DaL^rmen who can make evey quart of milk pay high prices do it, but farmers who rely on turning milk into buttermilk will do better to dry early and fatten all the faster. They thus get the profit of making oleomargarine without its attempted frau£ It is slow, hard work to cut stacks by hand for a number of cattle, requiring one or two hours per day, which, if time ia valu- able, as it ought to be, should not be wasted in this way. For a few dollars a horse-power cutter can be got, which in a single day will cut all the stas to be used daring the win- ter. The farmer is a poor manager who can- not use the time of himself or men thus sav- ed in some better way than competing with horse or steam power. The old-fashioned buckwheat bran is ex- cellent feed for milch cows, as it is very stimulating to milk production. In many families where the old-fashioned buckwheat flour is used the finer portioiis of the mid- dlings are sifted and mixed with it as a measure both of economy and healthfulness. If good old-fashioned buckwheat flour could be nad there would be an active demand for it at half a cent a pound, or even more ad- vance on prices charged for that adulterated with wheat flour. This extra price would about represent the profit that the manufac- turers make by the adulteration of the gen- uine product. Machinery is not labor-saving. The man who works with a threshing machine, works as hard as his father did with a flail, but he produces greater results. To those who think only ofthe price of wages, machinery is a fraud, but to the consumer of manufac tured articles it is a boon. Our mothers used to card their own wool, spin and weave and wear it, and it is no disparagment to our wives and sweethearts that they do not. They can't afford to. If it were not too expensive, the present race of women and girls would do this and more too. Ma- chinery has not obviated the necessity of work, it has only given it a new direction. Good machinery is a good thing, but the man who expects it to do his work will be fooled it helps him to do more work. â€" Ex.

Finely bred, intelligent horses are very often nervous. They are quick to take no- tice, quick to take alarm, quick to do what seems to them, in a moment of terror,' neces- sary to escape from possible harm, from something they do not understand. That is what makes them shy, bolt and run away. We cannot tell what awful suggestions strange things offer to their minds. For aught we can tell, a sheet of whi^e paper in the road may seem to the nervous horse a yawning chasm, the open front of a baby carriage the jaws of a dragon ready to de- vour him, and a man on a bicycle some terrifying sort of flying devil without wings. But we find the moment he becomes familiar wi^ those things or any other iiaA affi:ig}it him, and knows what they are he grows, :lddifferent to them. Therefore, whrai your horse shies at anything make him acquainted with it let mm smell it, touch it with his sensitive upper lip, and look closely at it. Remember, too, that you must familiarize both sides of him with the dreaded object. If he only ex- amins it with the near nostril and eye, he will be very apt tbhcare at it when it ap- pears on his oft sicle. So, then, rattle your paper, beat your brass drum, flutter your umbreUa, run your baby carriage, and your bicycle, fire your pistol, and clatter your tinware on both sides of him and all around him until he comes to regard the noise simply as a nui- sance and the material objects as only trivial things liable to get hurt if they are in his way. He may not learn all that in one lesson, but continue the lesson and you will cure all his. nervousness. LIBEBTY. BT JOHir IHSIE, TOBONTO. Sweet Liberty I-^^ou birthri^t of man- i^ind.
