I bear you no grudge ; I play for my daughter's happiness, an' your son's, an' if I crush you in the pro- cess of humbling your pride the blame must rest on you." Not wishing to be questioned: upon what he had said, John Ma- son walked quickly out of the room before Mr. Richwell could speak. He went straight to his little cot- tage home muttering:. "Purse -proud ape, my Kit's worth any thirty gross of sons you could have," over and over again. At the low gate in the high hedge skirting his front; garden, he eame 'upon two figures he recognized immediately. 'Ay, an' what are you doing here now, nay young sir ?" he demanded of the man. "Didn't your father for- bid you to come within a hundred miles of my daughter again, eh 2 An' haven't I jest come away from him after agreeing in the best pos- sible manner that this young wo- man is far below your reach ?

"I have left my father's house, Mr. Mason," said Hugh Richwell, stoutly, and without much regret. "I told him that I had made up my mind to marry Kit, and -he replied that if that were so, I could leave his house at once and never look to him again for a penny or a word. I must make nay own way in the • world, that's all." like your bounce, Mr. Hugh," Mason returned, "but you can't set up home an' live on nothing. Nor do I think either of you'd he really happy unless 'you had Mr. Richwell's consent. A man who defies his fath- er takes a very serious step, Mr. Hugh, I say to you go home an' wait:' I'm going to tiles this show. an' if your father doesn't change his mind within o twelvemonth—" "A twelvennoath !" cried the young man.

"Do you, fancy now, that if you leave home an' start to make your own living, unused as you are to euch a, thing, you'll be in a position to marry, an' keep a wife in than a year ? Because I'm certain Yen; won't." The soundneSs of this argument eondcl not be centested, end lin& and Kit fell in with Mason's sugges- tion. Late the same night it 00e,urred to Mason that considering he bad, to deal with a resoluee and daring man in Mr, Richwell, it. would be wise to removo from the foundry ell traces of the Fecret process of quick -harden- ing steel which was to buy hine his partnership in Wileins' and a • good husband for his Kit - Accordingly he set out for Rieh- well's without delay. He went straight to the "Shop' whicli his master had set apart for Ithe ' to mule his experiments in, and hav- ing gathered together all tbe papers relating to his great discovery, be commented to eestroy all those things which would afford anyone clue os to .the nature of his inven- tion. Ile had almost finished his t,$k, when in turning round towards WindOW he beheld an ashy face preseeel to one of the panes, watch - log with eager eves bis movements.

"Will you clear off my foundry ?" • "I'm going now, sir, but, be baek ngain before long, an' you won't epealt to me iike that then." Next day Mason "went, over" to WilkIns'. * * * * "The naval authorities have been experimenting with some new steel plates which are claimed to be greatly superior to any hitherto produced, and eighteen or twehty per that. cheaper. In consequence of the success of the experiments, the Admiralty have placed with Messrs. Wilkins and Mason, of Resper, a large order for these plates, which will be used ia the construction of the live meneof-war shortly to be put down, and in all repairs to armor in future executed in H. M. dockyards. It is said that the con- tract obtained by Messrs. Wilkins and Mason is one of the largest gieen out for steel plates by the Ad- miralty for many years." Mr. Richwell reed the marked para.- grazh in a tort of stupor. It was contained in a copy of the Rusper Mirror, which had Ince directed to him in a handwriting, he thought he recognized as that of John Mason, who eleven Months before was his servant.' Eleven, months ! Mr. Richwell groaned. it seemed like eleven years so .great was the change that had come upon him and .his fortune in: that short space of time. "He hasn't played a fair game," he said aloudto himself, thinking bitterly of Mason. “I could have fought Wilkins', and held my own, if they hadn't undercut me on every possible occasion.'', ; "There's more in it than that," returned :Colonel Jenner, : his friend and confidant,who had a small: in- terest in Richwell's Foundry. "They produce a • better, hardereemuch harder steel than you Can, in • a third of your time.

Ile would have liked to have given his friend a hint to stay ; he thought ho knew what Mason bad come for ; but. he was too worried, too wretch, ed, to (mite know how to do it with- out giving Willson away to Mason. So the Colonel went. "You wished to see me on busi- ness ?" said itichwell, laying a slight stress on the last word. "Aye, I sent youit paper this morning, with a, ptiragraph mark- ed--" "I had it," saki Bidwell, idly. "I thought it. would help prepare the way for what I bad to say. You ,see we're busy. We haven't room enough at the foundry to turn out a third of the orders coming in, muck • less tackle the Government contract at once, as we want to. We're build- ing as fast as we can:, but we can't run up a city in twelve hours." A cold sweat broke out on Bich - well's forehead. Was Mason going. to oaer to buy the foundry ? It would be humiliating indeed, but it, would enable him to meet his ere-: ditors,. "Well-er, I don't want to make myself offensive to you," continued ltrason, awkwardly, "but you don't seem to have been .up to your throat in -contracts lately. I mean you're -slack, could offer us practically a free foundry. I have put it to my partner, as a matter of form, that your foundry, being- in full working order, yet capable of taking our overflow orders on would be worth a deal Of money to us, as it would let us out of our corner." "You want to buy tine foundry as a going concern." said Richwell, his heart beating like a frightened wo- man's. "No. I thought you and ours might amalgamate. You join us, and we make Ourselves responsible for all your debts. We shall walk as one firm." . Richwell's ashy face quivered, his mouth twitched violently and tears forced themselves into his eyes. "Do you mean that. Mr. Mason ?" "Aye, it's a nosiness proposal." "My foundry is stagnant."

A well-known Englislurinn, who bas suffered from mental depression • that amovuted almost to the di- , 'sense of melancholia, was told by his physician that he must rest his brain- ITe was a very busy man, and scoffed at his dodoes prescrip- , tion of a nap in the middle of the day. Finally, after much persua- sion, he agreed to this experiment: Ile would sit in his easy chair ev- ery- afternoon with his bands on his knem, holding a. dinner -bell in his bands, If he lost consciousness and went tcesieep he would be willing to Sleep for the period that It took for the dinner -bell to fall to the noor and wake him. The doctor who suggested this arrangement declared that the mere mental relaxation of going to sleep, ironIer for a few sec- onds, would suffice to save him_ He invited hia patient to study the ac- tivity of the brain by noticing holy many things he could dreain while the dinner -bell was falling to. the floor. Every 'day for many months the Man sat down after luncheon with the dinner -bell in his hands. Every doer he went to sleep, Slept for half a second, while the bell fell to the floor; and his mental con- dition improved steadily, partly be- cause of the rest his mind got through losing consciousness for a second, and partly because" of his in- terest in the extraordinary dreams which passed through his brain while the bell was falling. STRANGLING IS PLEASANT. One question often asked and which few living persons are able to an- swer us, ';What are the sensations of a men who is being strangled with a rope?" Some of the few who have lived to give an, account of what occurred to them at that critical mo- ment say that after one instant of pain the chief sensation is that of a mass of brilliant colors before the eyes. Professor Boughton, who was one day testing for himself what such an experience would be like, lost his footing, and was accidental- ly diseovered and rescued just as' the • last faint spark of life was about to leave the body. He de- clared afterwards that he felt- no pain, and that the only sensation was that of a fire before his eyes, which finally changed from a bright blue to a black color. tie said that Ise had no fear of the consecpmaces, and that the colors were even • a source of extrete_ple.asure. • Fifty -cute British ports imported 46.1„000 tons of ice last year.
