"I might have known of it days ago if I'd been bright enough to take the hints I've had and catch the mean- ingL of the remarks I've overheard. Bu I didn't dream of such a thing.” Parauentets went in and sat down. It was apparent that Charley did not know what had ju-t happened. and When he entered his room, he found Charley Lee seated at his table. Cert- ainly no meeting could have been more opportune for trouble. "I've been waiting for. you,' Charley said, quietly.

It was plain that Charley had not told his fa, ther of the hazing. Van Loan must, then, have broken faith.

Parmenter fresh from his extorted confession of hazing, went back across the campus with his mind in a tumult. Half-a-dozen students spoke to him on the way, but he did not answer them. He could see nothing but Professor Lee's white, strong face ; he could hear nothing but his terrible wads of condemnation. WHISPERING TONGUESJ‘ A STORYOF COLLEGE. LIFE Bk HOME“ (AIKIZEA'E. CHAPTER IN he It soon became known among the students that Parmenter and Lee had been before the faculty in conneC< nection with the Van Loan case. The matter was discussed at the dinner: tables, on the campus and in the sec- tions, and opinions were many and varied as to the form and severity of the punishment and would be meted out to the offenders. "No, nothing-exeertturning for a moment; toward his father, who sat dumb with amazement and grief, "ex. cept that I am very sorry indeed, es- pecially on father's account." - Then his lips trembled, his eyes filled with tears; he turned to leave the room, and would have stumbled and fallen had not Tutor Delavan taken him by the arm and led him away. That, evening, as Parmenter sat alone in his room, Tutor Delavan came in with to letter. for him. He delivered it with a few courteous words, and re- tired as quietly as he had come. Par- menter opened the letter and read it. It ran as follows: "Dear Sir,-The president and members of the faculty have taken into consideration your acknowledged connection with the haz- ing of Benjamin E. Van Loan, on the night of April 12. We greatly deprecate such a serious breach of college discipline' We desire to be as lenient with you as possible ; but it is our duty and wish to banish this class of offences from the college by any and every means in our power. The president leaned forward in his chair. "We thank you, Mr. Ike," he said, ' for coming to us with this vol- untary statement. Is there anything else you wish to say about the matter -any explanation I" "Mn. ALFRED B.

"You did, Mr. Lee l" said the presi- dent, interrogatively. The professoré and tutors stared at him in open-eyed astonishment. Charley walked rapidly up the steps and across the hall, and knocked at the president's door. He was hidden to enter. The members of the faculty were still in the room, discussing Par- menter's case. They looked up in cur- iosity and surprise. He advanced to- ward the president and said: “Doctor: Mather, I desire to say that I took part in the hazing of Freshman Trap, Loan/n April." He passed on across the campus with such a burden of sorrow and anger on his mind that he took no note where his steps were tending. He looked up finally and found himself in front of President Mather's door. By some connection of ideas a new thought flash, ed into his mind. He stopped to con- siders it. "Why not l" he asked himself; "why not? It is right; it is just; there is no reason why one should suffer and non both. I will do it, and do it now, while I have strength, and then he cannot taunt me with going free whiie he suffers alone l" Charley went down the section stairs and out on the cmnpus, shocked and dazed. It was the cruellest blow his Iifehad ever known. He would never have dreamed that Parmenter could say any such things to him, or he such things to Parmenter. The next nimnent Lee was gone, and the friendship that had grown close and sweet between these two young men through two years of college life had become a shattered and pitiful wreck. “I éthlI not attempt to detain you Good morning, sir l "I take nothing back !" shouted Purmenter, angrily. "Do you hear me 'l Nothing I." "Then you are a coward and an in- grate, and I shall not stop to quarrel with you !" "Take am back, Fred!" he said. "You know it's not true, and I won't stand it !” and Parmeulvr knew it; but his rage was running away with his conscience and his tongue. "Oh, it was Van Loan, was it? I had my doubts whether I am indebted to Van Loan uryou for that disclosure." This wax cruel : besides it was false, "Fred, bscareful I” Tee's voice had n. ring of danger in it now.

He was too deeply moved to speak. Robinson werthuruiedly, on .' "Oh, I dor1't know, and I don't care now," replied Partnenter, impatiently. Robinson rattled on : “I hear he denies it, but there was no other way for it to get out, and he's such an all-round liar you can’t believe him. Say, Fred, when you’re sure of it just let us know , and if that Freshman don't suffer for his peprfidy, then-Oh, excuse me ! There's the last bell." -e Pérmenber passed on wearily to his room. And so Charley had confessed and had been out! Parmeuter won- dered what motive had prompt- ed the confession. Was it weakness or bravery 2 Robinson, who was an expert run- ner, shot across the campus and entered the chapel on the heels of the last group of attendants. Well, there was some satisfaction in knowing that he himself was not the only one to suffer. He did not know that he had much sympathy to waste on Charley, after all. He was sure he had none for Charley’s father. He picked up a book and tried to study, but he read the pages over and over again without remembering a word that was printed on them. Deep "Well," he said, as if Parmenter already knew about it, "you and Char- Iey are out.” The bell was already tolling the final strokes, but Robinson stopped to speak to him. He did not need to be told what it was. Instead of going to be gazed at and commented on, he decided to pass directly to his room. When he was nearly across the campus, he met Rob- inson hurrying over to chapel exercis- es. Coming back up the hill from a late breakfast that morning, and turning the corner of South College to go into the chapel, he saw a crowd of students at the bulletin board reading and dis- cussing some notice posted thereon. After the blow had fallen, Pal-ment- er had not cared to leave his I'0Cu11 till night, nor to converse with anybody, and he had not yet heard of Lee's con- fession. As for Charley, Parmeneer felt that it was all over between them now. The quarrel of the day before had settled that; and while in his own mind, he knew that he had provoked it, yet Charley had said some things in his anger' which he could not forget. a When he awoke on the following morning his heart was as hard and bit- ten' toward Professor Lee as before; this feeling, 1angely enough, em] overshadoivihgr his resentment against Van Loan. ing scene as this. His lips began to quiver and his eyes to fill with tears. He turned back into the room, laid his head down on his bed, and gave way, for the first time in years, to a prolonged fit of weeping. - Butr%wmentev's Hana of tears had not the effect to clear his mental sky. At home there, was a western porch where he had often sat with his mother and sister to watch just such an even- Still he sat looking upon the west- em sky. One star was glowing in the clear expanse.

The economy which is too strong to be disturbed by grief or bereavement is so akin to avarice that no one feels any self-reproach for holding it up to ridicule, although the circumstances may have to do with the saddest of events. There was once an eccentric old lady who lived in one of the seat port towns of New England, and who was known alike for oddities and for what her neighbors called her "near- ness."

The patients are more tractable and are generally on their good behavior. As the Hamil- ton Asylum, the second largest institu- tion of the kind in Canada, and admit- edly one of the most efficiently managed asylums in the world, the patients look upon Dr. Russell, the kindly-hearted superintendent, with a regard that is pathetically touching. They have been made to feel that the asylum is not a jail but a home, and that the superin- tendent is not a harsh master but a considerate friend who sympathizes and who understands, and who, with the other physicians in charge, is doing all that can possibly be done to lead them out of the unfortunate mental maze in which they have lost their way. The Hamilton Asylum is a great object les. son in the political value of kindness as an investment in the care of insane: ~Hauzil/on fferald. An asylum is simply a hospital for sick minds, and the insane are en- titled to considerate and kindly treat, ment. Their misfortune should com- mand them, indeed, to the kindly care of those in charge of sthem, and it is a sign of the development of the world’s ideas that in the ideal modern asylum the patients are allowed a great deal of liberty and are made to feel that they are responsible beings with rights and privileges which they will be permitted to enjoy as long as they do not abuse them. The chains have fallen from around them, the Padlocks are off their doors, the spiked walls about the en- closures wherein they once exercised have been tumbled down. Few res. trictions are placed upon them or their. movements, and care istaken that these shall bear es lightly as possible. Insanity, terrible misfortune that it is, is not a crime, but the doctors of the old school never seemed able to bring themselves to realize that fact. For years the insane were treated as if they were the vilest of vile criminals. They were loaded down with chains, kept in close confinement, indignities were heaped upon them and revolting cruelties practised. Even at this late stage of the world's history the gates of some asylum are occasionally thrown wide open and the light of day is let in upon a state of affairs that brings a blush to the face of cisulization. Bat this only happens when the official in charge is lazy or incompetent, when he is defieient in humane ideas or lacking in common sense.

The facts of the case are brieftr these :--Violet Buckingham, a. young woman of 21 years of age, was born in Ireland, and some years ago came to Canada and located permanently in London Ont., where she made her home with friends. A little more than eight- een months ago she was introduced to a young man named Vezzy, who had shortly before arrived in the Forest City from New Zealand, and who had been a soldier in the Second Enniskil- lcn Fusiliers, stationed at Seeundeaw. bad, in India. The. friendship ripen- ed into courtship, and the young man, proposing, was accepted and eventually the, couple were duly wedded. After coming to reside in Brantford for some time the young woman sent a photo, graph of her husband to an uncle, who is the superintendent of one of the lar- gest public charities in the city of Dab. lin. The picture so strikingly resem- bled this gentleman's nephew, and Violet’s brother, whom she had not seen since she was nine years of age, that feeling of horror struck him. Be. ing in an influential position in Ireland, he had no difficulty in securing the Government's assistance to locate the retired or time expired soldier, whose name was Leopold Buckingham, and who at the present time would be about 25 years of age. He was trac- ed to Brantford, and the young- wife found that her husband was her broth- er. Vezzy’s real name was, of course Buckingham, but when he enlisted in the army he adopted the other name in order to hide his identity from his friends, who would have been enraged at his enlistment. The couple have not lived very happily tog ther, Vezzy being of a very passionate nature. The young woman, who is almost crazed with grief, has stated to her neighbors that she did have the most extraordin- ary suspicions that all was not right- particularlyduring the last few months, but never did she dream for a moment of her position. The matter has been placed in lawyer's hands. The latter declines to give any particulars of the case. Vezzv, or Buckingham, as his real name appears to be, has suddenly left the town and cannot be found. A ltrnntfonl " onmn lblseovt‘rs “or Husband To Be "or Brother.
