IV Wt'0n [ Hi As Roland and Alice took up their interrupted conversation, Alice noticed a. change in her companion. He talk, ed no longer in the bright and enter, taining way which so amused her, and seemed absent-minded. "fakt"ltuie,t lay'iiig a hand on his _ aim she said : "Coufi11 Roland, is anything The girl stood and looked after them, and the tenderly mournful expression her face had worn as she spoke of her mother vanished, while the dark eyes fisslsed with a bitter light. Anita came rightly by her dark Spanish beau- ty, which was so different from the milk and rose tints of the maidens of her adopted country. The old squire's mother had spent most of her life in travelling abroad, and while in Madrid had seen and Admired a poor little Spanish girl. To wish was to accom- ‘plish with her, and she had succeeded in, taking the child away with her. Ar ter many wanderings, she had settled down at last at “Dunham Towers." In a course of time the youngy lodge- keeper had loved, “faced and married tbe‘Splapish maiden, ‘and Anita was iflie Mr-sprint of that union. When she was still a babe her father died, and soon after Lady Dunham. her mothef’s benefactress, passed away. I {But the squire, L38); Dunhaid Eon. hid allowéd them still to live on in the lodge house. As the two girls talked, Roland ‘Audrey glanced furtively from time to time at the marked contrast they made. Alice, with her fair skin and golden hair, and the dark girl, with her swart- black tresses hanging in heavy braids below her waist. "I will come and see your mother very soor, NRA,” said Alice, as they rode away. Then Nita told her that she had been very much confined at home, and the great dark eyes fiiled with tears us she explained that her mother had been very sick and was so still. Alice ndticed with surprise her in- tent look, lust asked the question again. _ The girl did not reply immediately, but stood as if fascinated, looking at the young man, who sat indifferently switching the wild~ro>e hedge with his riding whip. ATrhere have you been, Nita T‘ques tioncd Alice. The girl addressed commg to Aliee's side, took the little hand extended. She was a beautiful creature, notwithstand- ing the simple peasant dress. It was strange-to see in an English lane such an olive skin, and such flashing, orien tal eyes. _ "Why, Nita, is it you f It is a long- time since I have seen you." Gayly they conirersed as they camer- ed along, until suddenly at a turn of the road they met usolitary figure. Reining up her horse, Alice stooped and held out her hand. The perfumed air blew softly through the primrose hedges swaying the paly- pink blossoms to and fro; and over'- heard the birds sing nut their little heart bursts in rapturous melody. So, a. year before, Alice Grey had been called from boarding school, and had met her destined husband, Roland Audrey, whom she only remembered as a frolirsome boy. Alice was very young, barely seventpert, and Roland, with his dark haughty face,seemed very handsome in her eyes; and Whether it were true love she felt for him or not, she did not stop to think. She liked his manner of courtly grace, and enjoy- ed his society. So the betrothal took place mud on Alice's little flnger under- neath the riding gauntlet, sparkled the diamond pledge that she was to be Roland's wlfe and the mistress of the "Towels." If not, the estate was to be sold, and and the proceeds to endow an asylum which should hear his name. In his will he left an annuity to his sister, and the "Towers" to his niece, Alice Grey, nnd nephew, Roland And rey, on condition that they obeyed his often expressed desire, and became man and wife. Alice Grey wan the niece of old Squire Dunham. For a. long time the squire had lived in his ancestral I ome, With his sister, Aliee's moth-r. ft 1' his only companion. But the years passing mvay, each left their mark on his fur- rowed brow, and at last one came, and as it closed, the old squire’s life closed too, and he was gathered to his fathers. "Dunham Towers" stood in their gray statoliness, all canopied with ivy, just as they had stood for years , but, down the cak avenu9, instead of the old squire on his easy-iogging mare, there rodetwo gay figures. The sun- light glinrvd through thelvaves and fell carelessly on the girl's form, sitting erect and fearless on the beautiful ani- mal, who seemed as he curveted and arched his glossy neck, as if proud of hislovely burden. Her companion u an a young man in the first pride of Ugesil- hood. They rode slowly through the long avenue of trees, "knee-deep in fern," and at last emerged from the park gates. Truly it was no wands-r that the villagers turned and looked in admiration after the handsome pair. Squire Mlais Will. BY CARL BRICKETT The old church, which had seen , so many .of the, Dunham race anarried, again echoed with 1Lundelssohn's grand march as the wedding party slowly paced up the broad isle. _ _ _ "Bksssngs on her pretty face," was the thought of all- the villagers, as they wronged thamhurch mace them Luna'- Méauwhile the wedding prepara~ tions progressed. and at last the day came. .

Mrs. Grey urged the orphan girl to make the "Towers" her home; but she persisted in her refuse}, and m a little while she left the neighborhood. Alice often met Dr. Howard, and at last came to look back on those passion- ate words as an incongruous fancy. thought "Go, Alice Grey l Leave me with my sorrow. Go l” (wildly) "before I break my resolve and say what I should not -Sadly Alice went, a feeling of intense pity in her heart ; but no anger for her rejected sympathy. .She knew Nita's excitable nature, and she laid her strange manner entirely to her great grief As the girl stocd there, she might have been taken for an avengmg fury. Her black dishevelled locks flowed loosely over her shoulders, and from under their dusky shadow the great eyes fairly blazed with their bitter, scornful look. "My poor Nita!" she exclaimed, mockingly, "Why do you come here, with your fair face and your sympa- thy?" Suddenly casting her eyes downward, they lit on the still form on the bed, and with a thrilling piercing cry she again dung herself upon her knees by her dead mother's side. Again Alice approached a world of pity in hensoft eyes. _ ‘V‘Why,Nita, flowed your mother, too. Why should Inot sorrow for here." The day after her eventful ride, Alice started out to visit the sick occupant of the lodge. She reached the cottage door and knocked. No one replied and she went in. Then through the open bedroom door beyond, she saw a sight which drove the blood back from her cheeks. There, on the low bed, lay the one for whom the delicacies in her basket were intended-dead , and kneeling by the bedside, in an aban- donment, of grief, was Nita. Swiftly Alice went to her side. "My poor Nita. Y' Fiercely shaking the tender band from off her shoulder, Nita sprang to her feet. Involuntarily, Alice cover- ed her face and well she might. But Alice did not forget for a long time the words she had heard when re- covering from her unconsciousness l "Aliee ! darling!" Could it be possible that those words had heen spoken by her grave pastor! But the approaching wedding soon drove all else from her mind, Ever since, when n. little girl, she had spent her vacation at the "Tow- Prs,”ht= had known and loved Alice Grey.

I um sure, and Brown Bess is, no doubt, far on her way home by this time." Merely aclrnowYdging his remark by a. slight bow, Roland placed Alice on bis own horse; but Alice leaned down and held out her friendly hand to the speaker. "I fear, Mr. Audrey,"said Dr. How. ard, “thatmysudden appearance around these bushes was the cause of yourcous» in's accident," Then Roland came up, full of anx ions enlicitude. "I am not hueruCh, Dr. How ard." As if in a dream she heard the Im- pussio‘yvd wnrds,'arld opened her blue ep's. Then recovering from the shock which had only stunned her, she tried, With a deep blush, to rise, saying: Away they went and the two spirit- ed horses each trying bis best to rem-I. the goal, and soon Aliee's fiery little chestnut began to creep ahead, at first only a little; but at last a wide g p opened between them.

It will be seen that in the productive years' of the race this ex- ceeds evcry other disease in fatality.

' Dr. John Ferguson of Toronto con- tributes an interesting article to the October dumber of the Canadian Mag- azine.' , ' And now, as Alice looks up with wifely love into the face of the husband, who still makes the lives and souls of his parishioners as much his care as when he was a poor, landless minister, she spes and recognizesthe Kind Hand which out of evil makes good, and out of darkness brings light. But strange things happen some- times, and Alice and her mother never land to leave their home. On looking over the squire's papers the lawyer discovered a will bearing a later date that which had always been thought a correct one, In it all former documents were revoked and his sister and her daughter left; the sole heirs of the as tate, although he still expressed his desire that his nephew and owe) should marry "Robert, a hub would be a palace shared with you." His motith was stopbeli by a. soft hand, and she answered back: Then Dr. Howard took his fate ‘in his hands and placed his heart at the feet of the young girl he had known and loved so long. "You will be a poor man's wife," he said as he read in her sweet eyes that the love he asked for is his, "for I can never give you the luxury you leave." After a v/at, bud pissed, the execu tors began to take steps towards Bury ing out the squire's will. V Cowed and ashamed Roland Audrey, once so haughty, now so disgracedin the eyes ofall, listened weekly to Dr. Row- ard’s scathing rebuke. At the “Tow- ers" poor Alice lay long in a merciful stupor. It was a cruel experience; but after the first shock was over, she rose the same, cheery, loving daughter and friend, and before long, Dr. How md's heart thrilled with a sweet hope. Our. friends in sorrow are always neat'- est and dearert ever after, and Alice, as time went. on, the more shesxw and came to uruhtutacd the grave, good man, the more her heart was insensi- bly drawn to him. Roland Audrey, much to everyone's surprise, had mar- ried Nita, and together they had left their native Iluee. [ ”Bur tlle poor girl thinking herself his lawful wife had only pretended to yield.

This will be many pounds in your pocket, and will enable you to walk erect as a useful member of socie» ty; while the reverse is the action and the characteristic of a pitiable creature so pulseless, so boneless, so brainless, and so utterly useless, that if he will persist in doing the down grade the sooner he gets to the bottom the bet. ter. This is invariably the outcome of flit1ching, from tiny problems which look difheult when you first see them, but which fall to pieces directly they are touched by a resolute hand. "Here, come and do this for me, Bill; blest if I can do it!" is heard more often than necessary from one workman to anoth- er, and when the same item comes along again, and the same capable and willing help is-given, the delinquent is content to pose as Lazy-bones, instead of endeavouring to profit by the ex- ample of his neighbour, and so learn how to do the thing: himself. Sometimes timid people are helpless, but they do not cultivate the weed; they try to eradicate it, but there seems so much of it that they feel powerless to prevent its spreading. As timidity increases so does helplessness, and as helplessness increases so does timidity Remove either of them, and the other vanishes; and, as it is unnecessary,and useless, and 1onwelcome,by all means vanish it as soon as possible.

Once lose self-re, spect, you may as well throw the rest away If you take the other course it soon becomes expensive; you lose caste among your fellow-men, and you simul- taneously acquire, the knowledge that you must be half a fool, which is not complimentary to one's self-respect. If you go on practising laziness you will soon have no self-vets, so that will cease to trouble you, and will matter not a single jot; and, when a man does not respect himself, can he expect any- body else to respect him?

Although the bachelor merchant, perhaps, has an advantage in respect of his cheaper living expcnscs, says the Merchant’s Preview, yet the prospects of success of the married dealer should on the average, be more pvomismg,oth- or things being equal, on account of the assistance which the wife can rend- er her husband at critical periods,when accurate judgment is needed to steer a right course, and when two heads should be better than one. A man's wife often knows more than he does about a great many things,and while he need not, lower himself in her estimation by admitting her mental superiority, it is sometimes well for him to silently recognize her superior 'intelligence and profit by it. If he is a wise man, he will not be too ready to come into accord with the opinions of his wife, but will affect a great deal of wisdom of his own, even though he knows he has none. It never increas- es a wife's respect for her husband to know that he is inferior in anything, and it certainly does not increase her respect or her affection to have him in- timate by word or look that she does not know anything at; all. The judg- ment of the average woman regarding the disbursement of money is often better than that of the average man, particularly when it comes to spending money for domestic purposes. It takes a shrewd tradesman to get even with the average sensible woman, while the tradesman fhads it 'easy to work off stale goods on the average man; and the most conceited man might as well acknowledge frankly that his wife can attend to most of the affairs of her own household better than he can attend to them for her. Women often have the most acute perception regarding business affairs. -If men would only talk business with their. wives, instead of taking it for granted that women don't understand anything about busi, ness there would probably be fewer failures. Many a successful business man owes his success to the keenness of judgment of a partner whose name does not appear'in the firm or over the shop window, and who is not supposed to have any connection with the busi- HESS, and that partner is his wife, in whom he is wise enough to confide. a self-created discontent furnishes the motive power. first great my“ of civilized man; and have coutrilmLod more than any other 0110 class of mm to our greatness as a civilized neilion.
