„AN UNEXPEOTED RESULT.
BY E, P ROE.
(CONTINUED FROM LAST WEER.)
For the next few days Miss Van
Lyne was a puzzle to all except Mrs.
Alston. She was quiteunlike the
girl she had formerly been and she
wade no effort to. disguise the fact.
In the place of her old exuberance
of life and spirits, there were lassitude
and great depression. The rich color
ebbed steadily froiu her face, and
dark lines under her eyes betokened
sleepless nights, She saw the many
curious glances directed towards her
but apparently did not care what was
thought or surmised. Were it not
'that her manner toward Ackland was
not misleading the tendency to couple
their names together would have been
far more general. She neither sought
nor shunned his society, and treated
him as she did the other gentlemen of
her acquaintance. She took him at
his word, He had said he would for-
give on condition that she would not
'speak of what he was,pleased to term
that little episode, and she never re-
ferred to it.
Her aunt was soon as much at fault
as the others, and one day querulously
complained to Mrs. Alston that she
was growing anxious about Eva. At
first I thought she was disappointed
over the indifference of that icy
cousin of yours, but she does not
appear to care a straw for him. When
I mention his name she speaks of him
in a natural, grateful way, thea her
thoughts appear to wander oft to some
matter that is troubling her. I can't
find out whether she is ill or whether
she has heard some bad news of
which she will not speak. She never
gave me or any one that I know of
much of her confidence.
Mrs. Alston listened but made' no
comments. She was sure she was
`right in regard to Miss Van Lyne's
trouble, but her cousin mystified her.
Acklandhad become perfectly inscrut-
able. As far as she could by any
word or act of his be had simply lost
his interest in Miss Van Lyne, and
that was all that could be said, and
yet a fine instinct tormented Mrs.
Alston with the doubt that this was
net true, and that the young girl was •
subject of a sedulously concealed •
scrtifiny. Was he watching for his
friend or for, his own sake, or was he i
in a spirit of retaliation enjoying the
suffering of one who had made others
suffer 2 His reserve was so great that
she could not pierce it, and his caution
baffled even her vigilance. But 'she
waited patiently, assured that,. the
little drama must- soon pass into a
more significant phase.
And she was right. Miss Van Lyne
could not maintain the line of action
she 'had resolved upon. She had
thought, I won't try to appear happy
when I am not. I won't adopt the
conventional mask of gayety when
the heart is wounded. How often I
Have seen through it, and smiled at
the transparent farce -farce it seem-
ed teen, but I now fear that it was
often tragedy. At any rate there
was neither dignity. nor deception in
it. I have done with being false and
so shall simply act myself and be a
lady. Though my heart break u
thousand times, not even by a glance
shall 1 show that it is breaking for
hint. It is a part of my penance. I
will show the higher, stronger pride,
of one who makes no vain, useless
pteieuce to happy indifference, but
who can maintain a self-control so per
sect that even Mrs. Alston shall not
see one utlmaidenly advance or over• -
ture.
And she succeeded for -a time as we
have seen, but she overrated her will,
and underzated her heart, that with a
deepening intensity craved the love
•denied her. With increasing free
galeatcy she said to herself, I must go
away. My only course is to elide my

At lest, after a lonely walk on the

off her guard and her thoughts of him
had been so absorbing that site fel
he must be conscious of them. She
flushed painfully, and at first it seem
ed that she would hurry by with a
slight recognition and downcast faoe
but she had scarcely passed them be-
fore, acting under a sudden impulse,
she stopped and .said in a low tone :
Mr. Ackland- •
-
Ile turned expectantly toward her
and she either forgot or ignored Mrs.
Alston. For a moment she found it
difficult to speak and then her face
beeawe pale and resolute.
Mr. Ackland, I must refer once
more to a topic which you have in a
sense forbidden. I feel partially
absolved, however, for I do not think
you have forgiven me anything. At
any rate I must ask your pardon once
more for having so needlessly and
foolishly imperiled your life. 1
say these words now because I may
not have another opportunity ; we
leave on Monday. And she raised
her eyes to his with an t ppeal for a
little kindness in them which ors.
Alston was confident conld not be re-
sisted. Indeed she was sure that she
saw a slight nervous tremor in Ack-
land's hands as if he found it hard to
control himself. Then he appeared
to grow rigid. Lifting his hat he said
gravely and unresponsively
miss Van Lyne; you now surely
have made ample amends. Please
forget the whole affair.
She turned from him atonce,but not so
quickly but that both he and his cou
sin saw the bitter tears that would
come. A moment later she was hid-
den by the angle of the rock. As
long as she was visible Ackland watch-
ed her without moving, and then he
slowly turned towards his cousin, and
his face was as inscrutable as ever.
She walked at his side far a few
moments in ill concealed impatience,
then stopped and said decisively :
1'11 go no further with you to -day.
[ am losing all respect for you.
Without ,spealiing,, lie turned. to
acci.mpany her back to the house.
His reticence and coldness appeared
to annoy her beyond endurance, for
she soon •stopped and sat down on a
ledge of rocke that jutted: down the
the beach, where they had met , Miss
Van Lyne.
John, you are the most unnatural
man x.ever saw in my life,: she began.,
angrily.
What reason hairs you for so flat-
tering an cepinionl he asked coolly. •
You have been. giving reasons for
it every day since you came here,
she resumed,, hotly. 1 always helirc1

defended you and declared that your
course toward your mother even when
a boy showed that you hacl, mad that
you would prove it sones day. But
I now believe that you are unnatur-

aged you when that alone bid fair to
suffer. But when she proved shelled
a heart, .and that you had awakened -
it, she deserved at least kindness and
consideration on your part. If you
could not return her affection you
should have gone away et once. But
I believe that youhave stayed for the
sole and cruel purpose of gloating over ,
her suffering. -
She has not suffered: more. than i
my friend, or .than I would if-. •
You, indeed ! The idea of you
suffering from any such cause 1 I
half believe you came herewith a deli-
berate purpose of avenging your
friend, and that you aro keeping for
his•inspectiou a diary in which the
poor girl's humiliation to -day will
form the hateful climax.
They did not dream that the one
nnost interested was listening. miss
Van Lyne had felt too faint and
Sorely wounded to go farther without
rest. Believing that the rocks would
hide her from those whose eyes she
most wished to shun, she had thrown
herself dowa beyond the angle, and
was shedding tho bitterest tears that
she had ever known. Suddenly she
heard errs. Alston's words but a short
distance away, andewas so overcome
by their import thee she hesitated
what to do. She Nonld not Meet
them again for the World, but felt so
weak that • she doubted whether she
could drag herself away without be-
ing discovered, especially as tile beach
trended off to the left so sharply, a
little further ou, that they might dis-
cover het. While she was looking
vainly for Seine way of esoape, she
heard Ackland's. words, and Mrs.
Alston's surmise in reply that he had
conte with the purpose of revenge
She was so stung by their apparent
truth, that she resolved to 'clamber up
through an opening. of the rocks, if
the thing were possible„ Panting and
exhausted she Reined the snmmit and
as some wounded, timid creature,
t run to •the nearest cover. Ackland
had heard sounds and had stepped
- around' the point of the rocks just to
see her disappearing above the bank.
, Returning to lays, Alston, he said
impatiently ;
In view of your opinions, my so-
ciety can have no attractions for you,
Shall I accompany you to the hotel 2
No, was the angry reply. I am
in no mood to speak to you again to-,
day.
He merely bowed and turned to
pursue his walk, The moment she
was hidden, however, he also climbed'
the rocks in time to see Miss Van
Lyne entering the grove. With swift
and silent tread he followed tier, ,but
could not discover her 1liditig-place.
At last, passionate sobs made it evi-
dent that she was concealed behind
a great oak a little on his left. Ap-
proaching, cautiously, he heard her
moan :
Oh, this is worse than death 1 He
makes melee! as if God li'tl uo mercy
for rue. But I will expiate my wrong
-1 will, at the bitterst sacrifice which
a woman can make.

Two weeks ago the proprietor of the
Dundas Standard had •its suit at the
division court in that town several
- cases of arrears of subscription. In
one case the man sued swore that
the former owner of the paper had
told him he Was going to send the
paper and did so, that the paper had
been taken by him from the post
office ever since, but that he did not
consider that he was liable for the
amount of the subscription .price.
Judge Muir held distinctly that the
man having taken the paper from the
post offiee and used it, had received
the value and was Babe for the
- full amount of the subscription. If
he had refused to take the paper
from the 'office the postmaster would
hate notified the newspaper proprie-
tor an'cl the paper would have been
stopped,

Mrs Fiellelr; of Clifton, is the oldest
woman in Ontario,. aged 97 years.
Mrs Simpson, of Ottawa, can beat this
as she was 98 years of age her last
birthday. She was the First woman
to step upon the Soil where the city of
Ottawa now stands. She is in the full
enjoyment of excellent health and
unimpaired faculties and able to walk
without the aid of a cane. She eau
read the finest print without specta-
cles. Many years ago she could also
'say : Rise, daughter, and go away to
;your daughter, for your daughter's
daughter has a daughter. Two years
ago her sister died at the age of 103
years. Mrs Nancy Trench Simpson, -
whose death at 10ayears and 9 mouths

the patriarchal class that multiplied

She herself gave the world eleven

A Thrilling Story:
The Kingston ears of last week
gave the following accouitt : A short
time ago is kingston grocer found- oh
tarantula in a barrel of bananas from.
Jamaica. Be thaught he 'had , kiliecl;
it, but it appears leo was mis=taken, us'
shown by his experience the other
night. In going into the bed chane-.
wherq his. tete-venr-olcI son was in,
bed, he saw a horrified expression- on,
the face of the lard. On fo lowing the.
direction of his son's t'yes, he'saw the
fttrantula on his Losom crawling slolvlyo -
towards his his head. 'lite boy :was -

face. The • brave little fellow stilet
remained . calm in this awful dancer.
For fully five minutes the taraintulne
remained on hie cheek and then.ekipp- -
ed on- to the counterpane. As it'
so, the• father rushed forward. ,ands
rolled the fabric round: it and dashed".
it on the floor, crushing the life out off`.
the fearful creature, and afterwards.
threw it into the lire to make sure tiers,
tune that such a deadly viper had'
ceased- to live. The little heroin beet'
hid fainted from the great strain upon,
his nerves but upon. coming, to hie•:
sense was as lively as a ericket, and
;laughed all ]lis late peril. When ask-
ed what his sensations were while the
anitnal was crawling over elfin, he
said : 1 kept wishing that papa would
not try to touch it for fear it might

of this plucky little fellow should not
be kuown, but the father for many, -
reasons wishes it to be.
HOSPITAL REMEDIES.:
There is a new departure in the treatment.
of disease. It consists in the collection of •
the specifies used by noted specialists of ie
Europe and America, and bringing them
within the reach of all. For instance the
treatment pursued by special physicians
who treat indigestion, stomach and liver
troubles only, was obtained and prepared.
The treatment of other physicians, celebra-
ted for curing catarrh were procured, and
so on till these incomparable cures now
include disease of the lungs, kidneys, female
weakness, rheumatism and nervous debility.
Ask your druggist for thein. Those who
cannot procure -these remedies from their
druggist may remit :the price to ' Hospital.
