I've been reading about them In those dreadful articles every one Is quoting. Jennie O'Mabs, my grandmother, was a seevant. They say I resemble her; that I have' her eyes. You see. row nothing but a sim- ple girl of the people, without either the Instincts or the antecedents of greatness, and yet I'm to be the rich- est woman in the world, How strange It is and how wrong! That's one rea- son why I'm marrying the duke, Rog- er. dear. As his wife I shall be able to slip out of all this without attracting *ay notice to myself. Even‚papa needn't know it, so the duke says." "Paula, don't say that again," Win. ship pleaded. "You can't marry Wilt- shire. It's out of all reason and possi- bility. I'll go to.your father. I'll take •anything"- , She rose quietly and slipped toward him through the duak. She laid her hands on his shoulders and looked down into his eyes. "I came. Roger, for help and strength. You've given them to me. Just to see you, to hear your voice and to know that you love me still have made me braver. But if I stay any longer you'll take your help away. So I must go." "No, no," he protested, "not yet, not yet." He seized her hands and pressed them to his lips. When he released them ahe stooped and kissed Mm, "Goodby, goodby," she murmured and glided toward the door. Winship Was wise enough to let her • pass out and go her way alone. GHAPTER -XX11.

It is stated that the first pure quill poet that the Province of Manitoba has developed is It. J. C. Stead, who has just left the province which claims him as his own to take up his residence in High River, Alberta. Oth- er people in Manitobaheve written verses but his book of verse, "The Empire Builders," was the first gen- uine product of the soil lemons for No. 1 Hard. For ten years Mr. Stead has edited the Review of Cartwright, Man., but has given up newspaper work to become, secretary of a tom - menial concern at, High River, Alta, He does not intend to stop writing, however, and has on the stocks 'a novel of Western Oanadtalife. It will not be the first of its kind for Ralph Cloutier and others have entered the field before him but he figures that there is, nevertheless, room for it. 'Western readers have no hesitation in saying emphatically that he is the first real poet that the west has de. veloped and therefore theyhytre high i hopes of his novel. He s a native of Ontario hut his life on the prairies began so young that be may be said to be entirely the produet of south- ern Manitoba.

Peterson, Nieboliie Flood Davin, on one wee, - Wen, engaged in a tierce mat -erica encounter with a member on the Lib - *rat side of the House of Common* who, if he could not emulate the Irishman in skill of debate, Ina great advantage in his tbienoy and in the latitude he allowed himself it the diocuseion of Davin's personal qualities. In order to drsive home * Point, he called in doubt not only the soundness of Davin's conclusions, but even his ability to form conclu- sions. "In fact," aaid he, "it seem0 to me the honorable member (Devitt) has rooms to let in his npper storey." Davin was seen to smile, as he al- ways did when he, felt that be bad a word to say worthy of tbe careful training he had given .-himself by study of the world's best orators. When he had an opportunity to re- ply, after dealing with the either points raised • by his opponent, he sold: "Mr. Speaker; the Nan, gentle- man says he thinks I have rooms to let in my upper storey- He cannot complain if 1 return the compliment - But, sir, while we may be alike, he and I, in having rooms to let in our upper storeys, there is' this differenee between us --that mine are furnished." Davin, toward the close of his Par. liamentary career eeemed to feel more and taiore that any time spent by the House otherwise than in listening to himself was time largely wasted. The stentorian voice of. Hon. William Pat - croon, which filled the Chamber as no other voice eould, seemed to partien- batty irritate him. On one occasion, Sir Charles Tupper, then leader of the Opposition, made an address to which, as was generally understood. Mr. Patersbn would reply. Sir Charles, who, in site of his ,aggres- siveness and tremendous fighting power, was always one of the most courteous men la the House, explain- ed that, i1 he did not wait to hear Mr. Paterson, it was 'through no lack of courtesy to that gentleman or to the House, but because he was im- peratively called to leave town by 2. train which was to go in a very short time. "I am very sorry," he said, ."that 1 shall' be unable to hear the honorable gentleman, as I have to go at once to Quebec." Davin interpos- ed, "Oh, never fear, you'll hear him in Quebec." Another of Hon. Mr. Paterson's peculiarities led to a quaint and laughter -provoking remark, this time by Mr. W. H. Bennett, formerly mem-• ber for East Simeoe, himself one of tho "bonniest fighters" on either side. •.31r. Paterson has a fashion of, not exactly pounding his desk as some members do, but hammering it -rat - tat -tat! -- though driving. a point squarely home to be clinched on the other side. But evidently this was, not the suggestion conveyed to Mr. Bennett's mind, for, in the pause just succeediog one of these knockings, Mr. -Bennett shouted, "Come, in!" which . so exactly expressed an alto- gether new idea on the subject that the House was convulsed with laugh- ter, . .

Bees itifa'big6sicin. Prevented froin having a leaky roof reshingled, by a swarm of bees which hived under the eaves of his house two years ago, Mr. James Rosebrook, of Prescott, Ont., isconsideringthe advisability of employing an apiarist to assiet him in getting rid of the, busy invaders.' The bees have not only taken possession of the roof of Rbsebrook's house, but have in- creaeed in numbers to such an extent that part of them have found it neces- saryto move to the house next door, owned by Mr. Wm. Bray, and the other residents in the block are be alarmed. At present no car- penter will undertake the shingling job for fear of getting stung, as was little Miss Gladye Rosebrook, of Ot- tawa, who. was attecked while visit- ing her grandfather last summer, the bees evidently considering her an intruder. . Both Mr. R,osebrook and Mr. Pray declare that .the bees must eithee mdve out this epring er pay rent out of the large store of honey which is • supposed to be hidden between the raftere.
