It happened because we were all so intimate with one another, I tiaink. , Ever since we could toddle we had gone to each other's birthday parties, and, as LilySeton sold afterwards, "Who'd over thiuk of two. out of such a oloauxisk pet as ours getting oentimental over eaoh other 2 I lort't want any such nonsense in my love tinny; I want a stranger -lover, whose faults' I can have the fun a learianag." Possibly Mies Seton will have the pleas- ure of learuing a stranger's faults, when her turn cornea; this is not her story, but wendoleres. it began long ago; it was as old as herself, Gwenclolen said—not to me —after the Jaallowe'en party was over, and Ocitober'a night was near November's morn- ing. The Hallowe'en party PM lily Seton's idea. "The boys won't be able to come till ten o'clock," she said, when she invited Gwen " They've gob some idiocy on band that they must attered to, -but we'll get along without them for 011Ce "1 should think so," answered Gwen, with suspicious emphasis. "We'll just have a nice, pee ceful time without them." " "Tisn't exactly peace we're after," sold Lily. "Well, we'll have an hilarious time, then. Do you think you could manage to be hil- arious and happy; just for ones, .without boys, Lily?" You mean girl t" Ma seemed to Lily o. suffieient answer, " come then?" "1 shall be delighted," answered Gwen, woeting not of the future—like tlae rest of us. *, * She came, So did "Susan and Alice and Banna"—no, those weren't their names; ex aotly ; t -hey were christened too late for that. They wore celled Maud, and Isabel, and Amy—when they refused to answer to nicknames, Tomight ,was nob such au oc- casion, however, and when Llly. welcomed Maud as "Tommy" it was mere y because her last name was Thomson, aud the young lady in question accepted it as a satisfac- tory equivaleat "Now, gide, isn't that fire perfectly Hale lowe'enisle ? And aren't; you sure a ghost would 'walk in hure—if he weren't afraid of the gas?" Lily made these remarks as she dragged up the lest easymhair, and curled boreal up iu it, completing the semi-eir- ole. "I don't believe in ghosts." Amy said, but in a liberal -minded tone. "Neither do I" Lily answered "Except just toolig.ht. 'For one night only' as' — "Stop her 1" " Don't you quote /dm" " We'd rather have iTarrarree' These, delivered in three separate threat- ening tome, had some oiled on Lily, and ahe refrained from placing her quotation. "Thor° isn't any liberty of speech in thio aesembly," she remarked. "1 won't be squelched'. My foot's on my native heath, and somebody else's name is— "Order 1" " Order:" "It's the healthiest to accept the will of the majority 1" and Idly accepted, it, "roll us te ghost story, then, Isabel" sho Amid. "Not much I won't" responded Isabel, who might have said "No, indeed," if her %Juliette° had not been limited and feminine. "Then we'll meetapples,and—do yon know any Hallowe'en tricks, any of you?" The boys will be here by ten, aud elny'll say we didn't have any fart if they find us talking." Owen wished later that she hadn't bean found talking, but just now she told Lily that boys didn't uncterstand the pleasures of conversation. "If we start a offeme of forfeits," suggest- ed Maud, "well probably have enough noise going when they come to convince oven them that it's fun we're having." The game wasemerry. Lily insisted on giving Hallowe'en forfeits, and sent Amy upstairs backward, to interrogate a helpless mirror as to her true -love's face. She canto down again and painted such a dazzling picture of her future husband that she was promptly reminded of the" ultimate des- tiny of untruthitil persons. Isabel, on pain of getting no husband at all if she tailed, attempted to play a wedding march on the Dian° blindfold, which attempt resulted in o many false notes that Lily, who had a lost unnecessarily correct ear, let her off lireequarters of the performance. But it was when Gwendolen's bracelet was held up to e redeemed that a particularly mischievous dea came into Lily's down.bent head. "The wner of that pretty thing shall make—this ear divides itself by four, doesn't it—shall nio.ke a proposal of xnarriage—wait, it must e addressed to some onminparticuler, even hough he isn't here. Make it to my cousin larence." "Gwen, it's yours!" Maud said, Tangli- ng. Lily lifted her head and settled hor- elf comfortably against Maud's kuee, to vetch the fun, delighted to have caught wen. This latter maiden was scorching er face as she turned an apple before the re and did not rise immediately. She was truggling with a desire to say ' something ude and leave the room. For the hidden hinge in a life sometimes make the outward hinge look horrible. Gwen had the honest umility of sincere minds; she could see lit - le in herself that was worth loving, little hat Clarence,who really deserved an unused ereentageof her good opinion, could care for. laronce, possibly, looked at the matter the ther way, but Gwen's own view of it made ily'sforfeit seem ghastly. However, she saw he wisdom and courtesy of carrying out the est. She tarried from the fire. "Clarence Grey" she said, carelessly, as the name had not sung itself to a dozen unes in her head. "I'm to propose to im, aml? I might make a worse match.. my, if you'll stand over there and look entimental, and pretend you're Lily's luau, 111 try. " .A.my obeyed hestrue. tiotncsiew, go ahead, " she laughed. ,If you wait much longer, you can make it to him in person. " Some things seem as if they could not happen, and Gwen gave this speech no real attention. She dropped gracefully upon one. knee, and held out her hands towards the " false Clarence" "You did not know, mY own hetirt's darl- ing " she began, vigorously. "you did not kno whew all theseyeare your manliness and grace have been growing into my heart, till you seem a part of me. " "Pretty good, for a novice" whispered "But this is true. I hare thought of you; I have watched you as you passed down the street with a thrill of pleas- ure in even in slight a glimpse; have dreamed of you sleeping, ay and waking. I have dreamed of the h miest an loving help two who walk hand in hand. in this world and werle side by side men give each other. have dreamed of eoxaradeship and utter confidence, and in all these dreams have I seen no other—only you." Clime paused a moment, then went on, quiekly. "In fact, youtig man, adore you with my whole heart-; I offer you Illy life and ele fortunes; I ask to share your ; I ask you, Clarence, will you be mine ?" Gwen's face was turned from the door and she did nob • see that Lily's (muslin, :returning oarlio than the rest, had paused. On the throshol of the room, in pardonable estouiehrnent But the moment's silenee, before the girl broke into laughter, made her turn, Sle sprang to her feet, her cheeks blazing.. "Pardee a foolish jest," she said. "We'r playing forfeits, but I must apologize to playing a joke on you when you weren' here." She met his glance cguletly. A Wen of mine has a theory that girls look prattle than ever before or after on their weddin day. I know that Gwen never looked pret tier than she did. at that moment, though for perhaps the first tirne in her life, he thought and swell Were • not inweeord Cllarenoe was dizzy. He thought at firs that he refrained' from teasing her by prompt acceptance because she was .already embarrassed, but he knew before his answe was uttered, thetitwas bemuse he dared not What. he did say, neither he nor she could ever remember, but it was probably no startling, for the mirthful audience heard ft without surprise. Here, °weenie, here's your bracelet you've earned it," said Maud, still laugh ing. " You're prompt, Clarence," she add ed, glancing from Gwendolen's face to the clock's, which was not half so well worth watching. " Oh, I'm none too early," Clarence re joined, slipping into the prevailing mood o gayety, which rode easily enough upon the sea of emotion within him, " If I had wait- ed for the others, I might have been married before I knew it. Besides, bowing gallant- ly, "1 was in a hurry to see you," and Gweraiolen knew to whom the convenieut plural pronoun referred, though much plainer words hied glanced off from her shy- ness and left her unenlightened. Later, when Gwendoleu was playing a waltz, with her hands exclusively, Clarence, relieved te find there was no pertner for • him'went and leaned on the Piano. "Am 1 to hove the houour of seeing -your ladyship home to -night 1" ho asked. "If your lordship will be so good," GNVell answered. The surface of our manner and speech oftira remains the same, through in- ward changes, till wo make a conscious effort, and say what we are thinking and feeling. Clarence madehis effort later, When Gwen assured her hostess thee she had had a lovely evening, and ran down the steps, Clarence went beside her. They wore the last to leave,and Lily, and Maud, who was to stay all night, stepped outside the door end watched them down the street. Then the two gilds drifted. back into the drawing -room and stood by the hearth, watching tbe dying fire. At last Lilysaid: "Who would ever have dreamed of their doing that—such good friends': And. weren't we stupid not to sea ?" "Weal give them our blessing., anyhow." saki Maud, "if they did steal a march on us. Dear Gwendolen Let's go to bed, Lily, it will be November in five minutes," Half an hour later, Gwendolen, brushing her hair, for a moment stopped. smiling at bersolt in the mirror to wonder "How on earth shall I ever tell the gials?" —Cle.

Steven- son, and his associates of the Bloomington Hunting Club had some unique- experiences while after big game in British Columbia. They crossed into the Province through the celebrated Kicking Horse Pass, after being many days on the gray plaine of Alberta. Queer bands of blueish -light antelopes had whisked to the right and left ot them as they came ma and the hunters succeeded in bringing down some of them. They were as yet too far south for the famous wood buffaloes, which they had hoped to see. At length they proceeded south of the Cana- dian Pacifica Railroad, aud in a strange range of oddly tossed -up mountains milled the White Backs they pitched oamp and proceeded to look for some thing worthy of their prowess. It was the region of the gtant deer, known as the caribou, that have feet as large as a eow. They were ' successful, after walking over the rough mountains, in getting six of these creatures. They also killed a number of brown and black bears, none of which wore very savage. Grizzlies and. elks wore looked for. They saw some tracks of grizzlies, but it was a little too early for them. It was the same way with the elks. So they set out down the Upper Okanagan lake. Along that beautiful long and narrow strip ot waterway they saw myriads of wild fowl, and secured all they could desire. They boarded a monster steamer that plies these lonesome waters and still kept southweet A stiff current is in this and the lower lake, both of which discharge some of their water into the Okanagan river. In places there are in fact is rapid rivers and at one point there is a t cascade quite formidable. Into this the 1 frail craft went. lt careered in the mad current, veerel and turned again, while the waters swirled aboub. It looked as though et she would be instantly swamped, and most e, every ono oil board thought it was the last of her. By very skilful work, however, the captain got her about and filially pulled a her through. Here again they found an e abundance of large aud small game. They , enjoyed the wild surroandings so much that fell were loath to leave it, said Mr. Steven- son. There is a queer fowl up t there, called s the -fool hen. .-It is about as big as a good- f sized ehiekemand is splendid eating,its fleeh being much like grouse. We saw myriads f of them. -They are found several together, h and when you tome upon them they sit in 0 the grape or stand and look abyou curiously. b They will hardly stir. I knocked a lot of It them out evith sticks and stones, and I be. •ll lieve everybody in our party did also, This b is indeed a novel* trim. We have made GREAT BRITAIN'S CROP& The Very Gloomy Outlooh for Acrieuitur• fists. A eorrespondent of the Globe, writing from London, says :—Your Peaders have, of course, already heard a good. deal of the very unsatisfactory outlook which lies be- fore Britisb agriculturist% Unhappily, dime ing the pont few -weeka the loom seems to 1 reports have tifying to the have deepened, and athletic/ continued to come to hand serums extent and nature of %present de. preseion. The disa,ppointing harvest and extremely 'oar prices ruling both for grain. and stink, the ecareity and dearness of winter keep, all combine to make the farmer more than ever dissatisfied and de- spondent. Matters have never been so bad as they are now in the farming world, we. are told; for the past fifty years, and one indication of the seriousness of the situ- ation is the fact that the Executive Committee of the Central Chamber of Agrioulture are to meet on Monday next to consider the advisability of con- vening a national conference to review the whole.position, and to suggest any rem. edies winch might be asked for at the next session of Parliament Another sign of the tunes is the formation in different parts of the country of tenant fanners' alliances and associations. Noe° of these new orgeadeetions, so far as I have yet observed, set before themselves so radical programme as that NM made the rtieson d'etre of the old Fanners'Allianee ten and there a good yield was obtained, but in the majority of districts late frosts and cold winds in the spring caused great damage, aud the yield is less than. last year. The first arrivals of early varieties from Canada, • though of somewhet soft and poor quality, met with an active demand at satisfactory prices. Doting the last week or two, how- ever, some very large shipments have come to hand, greatly in excees of any previous record for so early in the season, and the market has been glutted. Moreover, these consignments consisted for the most part of small, immature(' and unattractive fruit, the Beldwins in particular being much below the righb standard. The result, of course, was that low Flees have ruled. Rewever, as the season advances and the qualiby of the goods sent over improves, there is every reason to believe that good end properly matured winter stook will find a ready sale at remunerative rates.

A British Columbian la Ching° in Regard to a New Tratis•Cont 'nonfat Line. Henry Croft, from British Colum- bia, is in Chicago getting capitalists inter- / ested in a scheme to build a new Comedian ' transcontinental railroad. He has already been remarkablysuceassful, anditis expected that over $5,000,000 will be pledged to farther the enterprise. Mr. Croft said that he came to confer with Fink Bakeman and others to arrange for the introduction of final subsidy and land grant measures in Parliament in relation to the proposed new read. It is to be known as the Canada Western, and will be 1,045 miles long, open- ing up thousand of square miles of gond razing, timber, agricultural and mining lauds.
