BERTJL CLAY these two, whilst she was in Lon- don. In spite of Mrs. Erskine's pro - 1 Sessions that she was loo old to lead other than a hermit's life, she f went out pretty often, and once or twice took Georgy. James was al - i sways either out, or hard at work, excepting when his mother received ;in the evening. Her eldest daughter • Alice wass in town now, after having f been for many years abroad; and her 1 two daughters were grown up; so a great deal of work fell upon the grandmother, who took them out, and asked people to her house for their sakes. Georgy thought that ( lone- ! for a hermitage,this was not o e- a t ly house; though Mr. Erskine, too, said that he land almost given up the T world, and had become a solitary. • Mrs. Erskine knew many artists .and literary people; indeed, she was no mean artist herself; and Georgy !:saw all these. people, who spoke a langunge and lived a life that was utterly beyond. her. To grow clever e --to grow clever --that was her de - :sire; and it seemed as if the despera- tion of her volition must effect that I -change. It was a confused desire . that animated her. The abstract love of books she had lost; she look- ed upon them only as a means of participating (living up to and in the i life of tlznso around her. IIow utter- ' ly shut out from them she felt, and ' how jealous she was of their pow- j-ers! It was not vanity which gave Ibirth to this; but the sense of What her own nothingness must be in i !antes Erskine's eyes, as she listen- I'ed to the well trained sparkling talk- '-ers who wore of this world. She saw i.directlr, and felt keenly the difier- I.enco that lay between theta; to talk 1. amongst those people, would have been to do violence to herself, and perfect silence fell upon hor. No one, perhaps, con feel Intellect- ual abasement more than a woman I who loves a man far superior to her - i. self, and may never hope to an- ; preach him but through the life of Iintelligence. In the wife of such a man it is not so. She has more, far more, and can aband(;:t that cold, •.restless strife after intellectual com- mune; she has him in the hours of ! grief and - sickness, trouble and an- lioyance; IS hell he is genuinely hilu- s self. It is through other than clever- . ness that she must keep him, and then she lives her own, her natural life. i Everything for the moment sank in importance with Georgy beside this vicarious love of knowledge. These feelings were not always upon ' her, however; often she seemed to ' have changed places with James, , t who was much graver than he used ,` to be. Georgy luod fallen into the : habit of laughing at nothing, he .- said, and then often ended 1iw fol- . lowing her example. Now and then her vanity was gratified amongst the people whom she stood so much in awe of. Sho was asked to play, and did so; there were not many people there, but they all listened, and all praised her. That was nothing to her; she only cared that James should be there, and know that she could do something. The next night there were some ;.people again at "the hermitage." "You look as if those people - I M- I spired you with a good deal of ven- �•eration, Miss Sandon." "Well, they do; your people," she .answered, dubiously, as if afraid of 1 owning to her weakness. "All those , who conte here are so ---clever, and talk so well, I do envy theut a lit- tle, and wish " "To do clever talk likewise? Well, keep your illusion, as you have not �yout discovered its vanity,. You be - .stow a vast depth of admiration on '.these people, I see." "It is pleasant to hear them." "To hear intellectual slang? Oh!' .you would soon find that good lady out, who is holding forth upon the sofa. When she had used the tre- mendous phrase, 'A glorious intelli- gence,' for the fourth time (having .applied it to three directly opposite People), I made my escape. She imagined that the words implied a most searching analysis of some- ' thing or somebody; and real]y she is a fair type of so many, nowadays." "I like intellectual Mimicry better than nothing, Georgy answered, with fttmloriug gl>sl,ipzacy; "but 1 I d t 1 ash t d I un ors 0(u a you mean, an Clare say in a little while I should feel it." "I do not disparage brilliant con- versation; I love it myself only too well; it is the most enjoyable of all luxuries. But the greatest people aro not always the most lavish of it. Every day 1 the quantity of intellect- ual ual slang increases, assisted by Ger- utanically-turned phrases. It spoils some people so, who would know about a few things, if they: would not embrace everything. All the world has opinions." "Cheap books bring that about." "Yes; and all honor to cheap books; but they have given the,world a sort of fictitious development, which occasionally reuses one's or- gan of combativeness. Everybody judges of everything now." "And you call all that 'intellectual slang.' " "I do; an old Frenchman said, 'I1 s diflicil • > rl' est 1 � de Ia a de quos quo co soit, avec qui que ce soft.' The parrot -like hits of eclecticism. that are the fashion make that truer than ever." "All that edifies me, I believe; but I alit not sure," she replied. "Perhaps, then, you respect any person who has ever written a book, irrespective of what ice contents may be." "Irow did you know that?" "I guessed it after considerable re- flection."

But do you pretend that lit- erature is all vanity? If you lived without it, I think you would soon change your mind," "Well, and what axe Miss Sandon's views respecting it?" he returned, amused at' her vehemence. "That it is something very grand and satisfactory to write a good book." "Yes, to pour out your whole soul, express your life in ono ardent burst of passion and pathos (he was not. laughing).

"Yes; but judge of no one quite by a first book. We do not know the exact proportions of what goes to the making of it; the vast expendi- ture of self, perhaps; some violent feeling may do a great deal, some excitement fed by the mere strength of youth."

"Yes; if we knew everything, we should see, I darn say, that some 1 books are costly to their writers. But you do not believe in all this, and in what Michelet calls 'Les mis- cres du monde parleur et du monde scribe,' " "You have taken refuge with mc, being cynical to -night, because I can talk of nothing, and there is no fear Of my writing -thank you." He did not answer her taunt in the laughing tone in which it \vas made; but said, in a quiet, reveren- tial way, as if he were talking to himself, "You! -I wish all the world were like you." That checked her. If he ever ap- proved seriously of anything she said or did, she was always embarrassed. She knew he liked her sayings and doings, and she would repay any laughing compliments or comments upon her behavior with an usury of gibes. And yet she was often inde- finably afraid of him; and a dry word, or even a serious one from him, could make her stay. One of- ten sees women so; they talk non- sense to a man of whom they are afraid. One evening Mrs. Erskine was out, and James, too. Georgy Was sitting alone in the drawing -room when lie returned. "She had fancied that lie was dining out." "No; Ito had dined at his dub, and was not going anywhere that even ing. Was leis another out?" He knew that she was, else, per- haps he would not have returned. "He Was in Miss Sendon's *ay, and would go down to his own. room." "Not at all." So that evening. they spent to- gether; talked and laughed, then grew serious and moralized. It was almost the- counterpart of one day which she had spent at Mortklands nearly two years ago. It Was the next week that a great ball was to take place, the largest and prettiest of the xeason, given by Mrs. Evelyn Lorraine, who would spend some Seven hundred pounds or ve- in 's upon her e n etlt -fain- so, g e p Ment.

Sho does not know a human creat- ure; besides, I must ask to take her, which I should notlike ike to do; ' itis out of the question." "Why, poor child?" "She must have a new dress, which would be foolish for her." "When is a new dress ever foolish for a woman, pray?" "James, I really think she would not care about it enough to make. it worth the trouble; besides, I must ask, you know." "Oh, I'll do that!" hesaid, care- lessly. "Will you? then, indeed, you might do me a good turn, and get an invitation for Mrs, lvanly and her girl; they would give anything to go." "Thank you," said Janes, desper- ately, moving back a fewsteps from the writing -table. "Any more people to ask for? If Mrs. Lorraine does not forbid me her hour for ever- more, I should not receive my de- serts; she has too many people al- ready. Indeed, 1 could not, mother." "Then what will she ay to your putting a hiss Sandon upon her?" "She is very good-natured, and I'll manage it, if you willonly take Georgy." "Very well," said Mrs. Erskine, laughing at his eagerness,- and per- fectly ready to consent o anything. James went hack to Piss Sandon, to ask her if she would not like to go to Mrs. Lorraine's ball; he knew that moderation would a but affec- tation. She had beenwondering vaguely what it would a like, ra- ther than \t idling to •o; but his words aroused a more active desire, and she looked up, say'it g, "I should like it very much." "Then you have as great an appe- tite for gayety, as the rest of wo- mankind;" and it was 1l settled. CHAPTER XIII. e it u t 0 i i n u A 1 0 0 i 0 S r t Miss n b b R t c a I On Miss Sparrow's return from Brighton, she behaved most kindly to her niece, batt fully concurred. with Mrs. Erskine in thinking it hest that she should go back to Millthorpe ' Orange, and from there, if possible, to Grainthorpe. It was more cheer- ful for Georgy to spend• her few re- maining days with the Erskines, and 1 she would ,not hear of her niece's re- moving to her own dull house. Miss Sparrow had a habit of talking to herself occasionally, and went on: "Yes, dear, yes; it would be a very "Tho feeling must have been a truo nice thing; 01113, of course, you are too reasonable." "What!" exclaimed Georgy, whose (To be continued) thoughts were running upon the ex- pense of journey's, and thinking how, if she went to Millthorpe Grange, and a reconciliation took place, she must return to Grainthorpe. Jour- neying back to her aunt's would be so expensive. "I could not help the other day wishing that you should marry Janes Eeskine; Mr. Erskine, I sup- pose I ought to say; more unlikely things have happened," she said, knowingly; "I think he likes yott very much; though perhaps I am foolish for telling you so. I wish people did not always think so much about money." "Why should they not?" returned Georgy, longing constrainedly. "I do not know that, Mr. Erskine has any intentions of marrying any one at present, either rich or poor." "My dear, you are not vexed, are you)" "No; of course not, aunt," she re- plied, regaining her old manner. "Ah, . Georgy, little girls some- times omatinges think of such things, though they will not own itl" And when Georgy left her aunt, she did think about it, though not of it; that was an impossibility. Her aunt's words went for nothing; but they had tortured her. Oh! she was poor; yet in her own heart she bold- ly compared oherself to Gertrude Stanley, of whom she knew that it was Mrs. Erskine's darling dream that she should marry her son. Miss Stanley was rich and beautiful, but take away the money, and Georgy could hold ler ground against Miss Stanley; but for herself to marry. James, would, in a worldly point of View for hint, be folly. Just then poverty seemed to her to express an- nihilation, and she thought of the words of Faust's Margaret: "Nada Go1dc drangt Ant Goldo hangt Poch Ades! Ach wir Armen!" Many a one has thought that; and not always in direct selfishness. Mo- thers fancy that money will smooth the evils of life for their children.

The crowd was too great to reader denting very pleas- ant, fit, so they walked about, and the young gentleman pointed otit to his companion the notabilities; she soon began to take an interest in the bystanders. The crushing dance was over, and Georgy, standing again by Mrs. Erskine, was still talking to her companion; he was dilating to her on the fatigues and responsibilities which going out en- tailed; and was she n answering him ' with rather ludicrous gravity, try- ing how long he would remain un- 1 conscious of her iutpertinent. slut - PI ici ty ! lut-plicity! lir.

Tarte e and Blairvoted against ted aglain t it. Jebel Robinson supported it. The House then divided on Mr. Puttee's amendment, declaring in favor of Government ownership and operation of railways. The amend- ment found no supporters on the Government side of the house. Tarte and Blair both voted against it, All the support came front the Opposi- tion. Mr. Puttee's amendlnent was defeated on a vote of 135 to 50. As the main motion was about to be put, Mr, Casgrain moved an amendment that confirmation of the agreement be suspended until such time as the House is in possession of the report of the Transportation CotnmIssion and members have had a chance to consult their constitu- ents regarding the scheme. Mr. Casgrain's amendment was de- feated on a vote of 117 to 70. Blair supported it. Tarte voted with the Government. The vote was then taken on the main motion, which was carried by 117 to 71. Tarte and Blair voted against the motion. Otherwise it was a straight party division. Mr. Ilorden's Polley. Mr. F. D. Monk, the Conservative leader in Quebec, in the absence of Mr. Bordon, who is confined to the house through indisposition, last night gave notice of an amendment to the motion for the second read- ing of the bill to ratify the Grand Trunk Pacific agreement, as follows: "That it is not expedient to ratify the' agreement set forth in the sche- dule to the bill no\t' before this House entitled an n t respecting the con- ! struction of a National Transconti- nental llaflway.
