"Good-night, my darling," 'returned Miss Trevanion, suddenly, kissing her ssith rapid, =expected warmth. After this they separated for the night and got to bed, and dreamed their several drams of joy or sorrow, as the ease might be. Sir George and his Wife, in their rbone at about the same time as the foregoing conversation had been held, were having a few words together, on the same subject. "Well, Carry," said Sir George, "you svere wrong, I think, my love; I don't believe Denzil Younge ie as much taken with Mabel as You gave me to understand, eh?" "No, but he is dreadfully in love with Mildred," his wife said. "Well, nothing could be better," "Nothing could be worse, you mean." "Because lase will refuse him." "In the name of patience, for what?" demanded Sir George., explo- sively. "Is it because he is rich, hand- some and prosperous?" "No; but simply because his father has sold cotton." 'Paddle -de -dee" exclaimed Sir George, with great exasperation, and he strode up and down the room twice with rapid, hasty footsteps. "Look here, Carry," he then said, "something must be done. My attain altogether are in a very critical state. Bolton told me so in as many Words the other day. He said that I could not weather the storm much longer—that I had eot, in fact, a leg to stand on (these were his own words, I assure you)— that money must be got somehow and so on. And where the deuce am I to get ready money, do you zuppose? Every method of procuring it that I know of has been used up long ago. I see nothing but absolute ruin star- ing me in. the face. And here is this wilful girl actually throwing away fifty thoneand pounds a year—every penny of of it, as sure as my name is 'Trevanion!" illy this time Sir George was greatly excited, and was pacing up the carpet and down again, with his arms crossed, under the tails of his dress coat Lady Caroline had • subsided into silent weeping. "Well, well, there is no use in an- ticipating birils," continued her hus- band, presently, who having isucceede'd in raising the stormwas now equally desirous of laying it; "perhaps—who knows?—affairs haay brighten." "If she would even encourage Load Lyndon," said poor Lady Caroline, dolefully, still weeping. "Ay, just so," returned Sir George; "but how she could throw over Younge for such a heavy substitute as Lyndon passes my comprehension. I declare I should prefer 'Denzil with no ante- cedents than that fellow with all his aneestors. Besides, Lyndon's rent roll is barely twenty thousand a year—not even half the other's." "Still, I think that would do very aieelY," Put in lady Caroline, meekly, "If she Could only be itideced to look kindly tn. any one, I should be otitis - tied." "So should I, so long as the 'some ern' had Denzil's money," observed Sir George, and Went back to his dressing -room to finish his prepara- tions for bed -time, and think over the incoesistent condeet ,of his daughter Mildred. CHAPTER XT, The Yotingee' visit was drawing to a close. Nearly a 'month had elapsed since their arrival, and Mrs. Younge began to sspeak sericeielY et the day that should see theist depart. Tiiis she mentioned with reget—a regret aide- bly shared in by most of the young Treennions With Whom the elder pair and Denzil" were Iminen00 favorites.

"No," said Mab; "he always comes In by the kitchen way, or by his study.

The "Stockholm system" of allowing each citizen only a fixed quantity of spirituous drink, which has inaugu- rated just after the war started, has now • been extended to thirty-one of the hundred districts in Sweden. The system which is now in operation was devised by Dr. Ivan Brett. It allows every citizen in good standing to buy one liter and no more of spirituous liquor every five days. To make, this elan feasible each per- son is provided with a small book re- sembling a commutation railroad tick- et, froxn which a coupon is torn every time the consumer buys his liter of whiskey, brandy, comma, punch, schnapps or whatever kind of alcohol- ic beverage he fancies. At tlie same time his book is stamped with the date of the purehase, so that it is clear to the dealer when he made his lasts pur- chase. Without showing his book no citizen. of Stockholm has the remotest chance of obtaining a bottle of liquor anywhere in the city. It is true that in some cases, how- ever, exceptions are made. If one can persuade the authorities that on acs count of his social position and tho demands of eenstant entertainment one liter every five days is totally he ndequete and if the authorities are convinced that such a person can be trusted with more liquor without abus- ing the privilege conferred upon him he is then given a special license to perches° two, three or more liters, ac- cording to the circumstances. On the other hand, if the person is a drunk- ard, has a police recerd or has in any other Way incurred the displeasure of the authorities he in alloWed no liquor at all. Minard's Liniment, .

(Ottawa Free Press) ieut for one fact, whleh is important, Sir Sam is quite justified in saying that Allison is as much entitled to make money out of the war orders as any Inv- •veyur of "sausages, boots, or breeches," The minister has, however, himself an- nounced on the floor of Parliament that he chose Allison as his "guide and coun- sellor" in the buying of war supplies, and has held him up to our eyes as a gentleman animated only by the sincer- est patriotism without a tinge of cern- inerciallism or personal selfishness. 4.
