OILY A MONTH;
OR, A
CURIOUS MYSTERY EXPLAINED.
CHAPTER XXXV.—(Cont'd)
At half past four the guests be-
gan to arrive. First, Mrs. Boni-
face and Cecil, with the children,
who helped to light the tree; then
Mine. Leohertier, laden with boxes
of the most delicious bonbons for
every one of the party, and soon
after there came an abrupt knock,
which they felt sure could only
have been given by Herr Sivertsen.
Swanhild ran to open the door, and
to take his hat and coat from him.
Her eager welcome seemed to please
the old man, for his great, massive
forehead was unusually free from
wrinkles as he entered and shook
hands with Sigrid, and he bowed
and smiled quite graciously as she
introduced him to the other guests.
Then he walked round the Christ-
mas -tree with an air of satisfaction,
and even stooped forward and
smelled it.
"So," he said, contentedly, "you
keep up the old customs, I see 1 I'm
glad of it—I'm glad of it. It's years
since I saw a properly dressed
tree. And the smell of it 1 Great
heavens ! It makes me feel like a
boy again! I'm glad you don't fol-
low with the multitude, but keep
to the good old Yule ceremonies.
In the meantime Cecil was pour-
ing out tea and coffee in the kit-
chen, where, for greater conveni-
ence, the table had been placed.
"Sigrid has allowed me to be
lady -help and not visitor," she
said, laughingly, to Frithjof. "I
told her she must be in the other
room to talk to every one after the
English fashion, for you and Swan-
hild will be too busy fetching and
carrying."
"I am glad to have a. chance of
saying one word alone to you,"
said Frithjof. "Are you sure that
Mrs. Boniface does not object to
this new plan as to the partner-
ship ?"
''Why, sheds delighted about it,
said Cecil. "And she will tell you
so when she has you to herself. I
am glad—so very glad that your
&rouble is over at last, and every-
thing cleared up."
"I can hardly believe it yet,"
said Frithjof. "I'm afraid of wak-
ing and finding that all this is a
dream. Yet it feels real, while I
talk to you, for you were the only
outsider who believed in me and
cheered me up last summer. I
shall
me."
Her eyes sunk beneath his frank
look of gratitude. She was hor-
ribly afraid lest she should betray
herself, and to hide the burning
color which surged up into her face,
she turned away and busied herself
with the tea-pot, which did not at
all want refilling,
"You have forgotten Signor Do-
nati," she said, recovering her self-
possession.
"Ah E I must write to him," said
Frithjof. "I more and more won-
der how he could possible have had
such insight into the truth. Here
Domes Mr. Boniface and Roy."
He turnedto the parlor, while
Cecil from the background watched
the greetings with some curiosity.
In honor of Herr Sivertsen, and to
please Frithjof, both Sigrid and
Swanhild wore their Hardanger
peasant dress, and Cecil thought
she had never seen Sigrid'loolppret-
tier than now, es she shook hands
with Roy, welcoming him with all
the charm of manner, ` with all the
vivacity which was characteristic of
her.
"Tea for Mr. Boniface, and cof-
fee for Roy," announced. Swanhild,
dancing in. "Lance, you can hand
the crumpets, and mind you don't
drop them all."
She pioneered hixn safely through
the little crowd, and Frithjof re-
turned to Cecil. They had a com-
fortable little tete-a-teteover the
tea -table.
"I dare to think now," he said,
"of the actual amount of the debts,
for at last there is a certainty that
in time I can pay them."
"How glad I am!" said Cecil. "It
will be a great relief to you."
"Yes, it will be like getting rid
of a haunting demon," said Frith-
iof. "And to see a real prospect
of being free once more is enough
to make this the happiest Christ-
mes I have ever known—to say no-
thing of getting rid of the other.
cloud. I sometimes wonder what
would have become of me if I had
never met you and your brother."
"If you had never sheltered us
from the rain in your house," she
said, smiling,
"It is in some ways dreadful to
see how much depends on quite a
small thing," said Frithiof,.thought-
fully.

And perhaps, .could he have seen
into Oeoil's heart, he would have
been more than ever impressed with
this idea.
Before long they rejoined the refit
of the party, and then, all stand-
ing round the tree,. they sung "Gla-
delig Jul," and an English carol,
after which the presents were dis-
tributed, amid. muchlaughter and
quite a Babel of talk. The whole
entertainment had been given for
a few shillings, but it was• probably
one of the most successful parties.
of the season, for all seemed full of
real enjoyment, and all were ready
to echo Lance's outspoken verdict
that Christmas -trees in model
lodgings -were much nicer than any-
where else,
"But it isn't fair that the model
lodgings should have both Christ-
mas -eve and Christmas -day," said
Mrs. Boxiiface, "so you will come
down to Rowan Tree House this ev-
ening, and stay with us for a few
days, will you not 2"
There wasno resisting the gen-
eral entreaty; and indeed, now that
all was cleared up, Frithjof looked
forward very much to staying once
more in the household which had
grown so home -like to him. It was
arranged that they should go down
to Brixton later in, theevening;.
and when their guests had left,
Sigrid began a little sadly to make
the necessary preparations. ` She
was eager to go, and: yet something
told her that neveragain under the
same circumstances would the little
household be under her care, •
"I will take: in the tree to the
Hallifields," she said: "the chil-
dren will be pleased with it. And
Frithiof, don't you think that be-
fore we leave you had better just
call and thank Mr. Osmond for his
help, and for having been so kind
to Swanhild? He will like to know
that all is cleared up." • -
Frithiof agreed, and set off for
Guilford Square. The night was
frosty, and the stars shone out
bright and clear. ' He walked brisk-
ly through the streets, not exact-
ly liking the prospect of his inter-
view with the clergyman, yet anxi-
ous to get it over, and really grate-
ful for what had been done by him.
Charles Osmond received him so
kindly that his prejudices vanish-
ed at once, and he told him just
how the five -pound note had af-
fected his life, and how all had
been satisfactorily explained, • '
"Such coincidences are very
strange," said Charles Osmond;
"but it is not the first time that I
have come across something of that
sort, Indeed, I know of "a case very
similar to yours."
"If Lady Romiaux is still with
you," said Frithjof, flushing a lit-
tle, "perhaps you will tell her that
all is set straight, and thank her
for having released Swanhild; from
her promise."
"She is still here," said Charles
Osmond, "and I will certainly tell
her. • I think when she,, gave the
money to your sister she yielded to
a kind impulse, not at all realiz-
ing how foolish and useless such a
plan was. After all, though she
has lived through so much, sheis
still in some ways a mere child."
He looked at the Norwegian, won-
dering what lay beneath that hand-
some face, with its Grecian outline
and northern coloring.
As if in answer to the thought,
Frithjof raised his frank blue eyes,
and met the searching gaze of his
companion.
"Will not Lord Romiaux remem-
ber her youth Z" ho said. "Do you
not think there is at least a hope
that he -will forgive her i"
Then Charles Osmond felt a
strange gladness at his heart, And
over his face there came a look 'of
indescribable content. For the
words revealed to him the noble na-
ture of the man before him; he
knew that not one in a thousand
would have so spoken under the cir-
cumstances, • The interest he had
felt in this man, whose story had
accidentally become known to him,
changed to actual love.
"I am not without a strong hope
that those two may be atoned," he
replied. "But as yet I do not know
enough of Lord : Romiaux to feel
sure. It would 'probably involve
the sacrifice of his public life. I do
not know' whether his love is equal
to such a sacrifice, or whether he
has strength and courage enough
to offend the world, or whether, he
in the 'least understands the law of
forgiveness "
"If you could only get to knew
him," said 1! rithi"of,.
`I quite hope to do so, and that
before long," said Charles Osmond.
"I think I can get ab him through
a Mutual friend—the member .for
Greyshot—but we must not be in
too great a hurry. Depend upon
it, the right time will come if wo
- are only ready and waiting, Do
►.you know the old Scotch proverb.,
'Where two are seeking they're
' sure to find V There is it deep truth
beneath these words, a whole par-
able, it seems to me:"
"I must not keep you," said Fri-
thiof, rising. "But I couldn't rest
till T had , thanked you for your
help, and let you know what had
happened."
"The affair has made us some-
thing more than melee acquaintanc-
es," said Charles Osmond. "I hope
we may learn to know each other
well in the future. A happy Christ-
Inas to yotf."

and he grasped the Norwegian's
hand. At that moment it happen-
ed that Blanche passed from the
dining -room to the stairoase; she
just glanced round to see who
Charles Osmond was addressing so
heartily, and, perceiving Frithiof,
colored painfully and caught at the
balusters for support.
Having realized what was the
Norsenla.ri's character; Charles Os-
mond did not regret the meeting;
he stood by in silence, glancing first
at his companion's startled face,
then at Blanche's attitude of down -
oast oonfusion.
"As for Frithiof, in that moment
he realized that his early passion
was indeed dead. Its fierce fire had
utterly burned out; the weary pain
was over, the terrible battle which
he had fought so longwas at an
end, all that was now left was a
chivalrous regard for the woman
who had made him suffer so fear-
fully, a selfish desire for her•future
safety.
He strode toward her with out-
stretched hand. It was the first
time he had actually touched her
since they had parted long ago on
the steamer Balhoim, but he did
not think of that, the past v<hich
had lingered with him wither id like
the raiment of a Viking whose buri-
ed ship is suddenly exposed to the
air. .
"I have just been telling Mr. Os-
mond," he said, "that, thanks to
your note to Swanhild, a•euiious
mystery has been explained; he will
tell you the details."
"And you forgive me 2" faltered.
Blanche.
"Yes, with all my heart," he
said.
For a moment her sorrowful eyes
looked into his; she kne-w then that
he had entirely freed himself from
his. old devotion to her, for they
met her gaze frankly, fearlessly,
and in their blue depths there was
nothing•but kindly forgiveness.
"Thank you," she said, once
more taking his hand. `Good-
bye."
"Good-bye," he replied.
She turned away and went up-
stairs without another word. And
thus, on this Christmas -eve, the
two whose lives had been so
,strangely woven together, parted,
never to meet again till the clearer
light of some other world had re-
vealed to them the full meaning of
their early love..

WHAT SPEED MEANS.
Just How Good Roads Can Afteot
a Nation.
Speed has a distinct and measur-
able value in terms of money. The
"mechanization" of the universe,
to imitate the phraseology of the
German, . has greatly increased the
rapidity and the volume of business
transactions. The mechanical in-
ventor, to quote a writer in the
London Economist, gives as rguoh
greater returns for the same out-
put of energy. If, in spite of this,
we are busier than our forefathers,
the fault rests with us. We could
have more, leisure if we so desired.
"Since the mending of roads in
England forty or fifty .years ago,"
so Adam Smith told his class at
Glasgow in 1762, "its opulence has
increased enormously." Every boy
can perceive that the difference be -
tween a good road and a bad oust
means less strain on the horses, learn
wear and tear for waggons and car-
riages, and above all, an increase
in speed. It means, in short, our
writer - goes on to say, a saving of
time and money in both goods and
passenger traffic.

ON C R ET E watering -troughs and
feeding -floors help to keep your
live -stock healthy.
HORSES and cattle watered from a concrete
trough are , less likely to contract disease.
Concrete rs sanitary, easily .cleaned — does not
rot or leak. Once built, a concrete watering -
trough will last forever. You need never
waste time "petch jug it up." .Like all
concrete improvements, its first coat is its final
cost. -
MANY diseases of hogs are directly due to
feeding from the filthy, unwholesome mud
of the barn -yard. This manner of feeding is also
wasteful, because the grain is trampled into the
ground, in such a condition that not even a hog will
eat it. Concrete feeding -floors, with concrete swill -
troughs are clean, sanitary. They koop hogs in
better health and save feed.
ATERII4G-TROUGHS and feeding -floors are only two of scores of valuable, every -day
improvements that may be made of concrete. All are fully described in our .160 -page,
illustrated book,
