Clive moistened hie father's lips -with a reetorative that stood on the table, and holding the palsied nand, waited sorrowfully. "You're like your mother, Clive," the labored voice went on again; "the only one who is like her; you take after her in those quixotic notions of hers. She was all for doing good and fuseing about the poor; funny how these weaknesses get handed down to one member of a family while the rest are passed over!

"Of ?ontrse I shall stay with you, father, said Clive. "Thankyou very much." said the old man; with an attempt at his courtly bow, 'It is more than I deserve. There was another pause; during which Olive per- suaded the 'stricken man ' to assume a lower and easier attitude in the bed; then the Earl said in a feebler voice: "There is something I wanted to say to you, Olive -it has 'eeoarped me for the mo- ment; but I dare say I shall remember it before I go. I feel sleepy. I have your promise to remain; and as a boy you al- ways kept, your promises." Clive pressed the old man's hand; and he seemed to fall into a stupor. Clive re- mained beside him for some time; then went down and sent a wire to Adolphus. The reply came very quickly; "Extremelysorry to hear news: hope things are not eo serious as you imagiue- Am too unwell to travel; most compli- cated case.-Adolphuis." Olive, flushing with shame for his bra tater, returned to the sick room and watch- ed he s condi- tion h the night. T Earl' ndi- g g tion did,_not change, :and in the morning Olive sent his telegram to Mina. In doing so he felt some relief from his anxiety on her account, and was free to devote lxim- self in heart . and mind, to hie stricken father. For some days the Earl lay in this state of stupor. 'There was little to be done but wait; but what little there was Clive did. He took up, as well as he could. the tang- led threads of the household affairs; and, as far as he was able, took the place of the eldest song Adolphue. But all the time his mind was divided between hie father and Mina. He had written to, her a lona and loving letter, telling her that he, would come to her as soon as possible, and asking her to write to him, if only a lino or two. He was surprised and disappointed at not receiving any replybut he was not alarmed; his faith in her and her love was too strong for doubt or fear. The end of Dandy Rafborongh cameon the fourth day niter Clive's arrival. The old man roused from the state of coma in which he had been. lying, and his eyes, al- most clear again, sought Olive's. "Here still, my boy?" he said with dif- ficulty, and in i[asping sentences. "You've kept your promise. And you're here alone? No matter; I don't know that I wanted a large audience. Clive, I've never done you justice; rather late in the day to admit that, isn't it? . I eee now that you are Beings. to he a credit to the family. Gad, T shouldn't be surprised if you restored it to its old position! Who knows what may happen?

You'll have no difficulty in marrying money -none of us ever had 1 -you can bull the place together into its old form.

In his wandering mind he thought he was talking to his valet. "Give me the glass." Ile put up his shaking hand and smooth- ed the side curls of his wig; then, with a little chuckle of self-satisfaction, fell hack and closed hie eyed. Suddeniy he looked. up, and met Clive's gaze. A change came over his face; it grew grave, almost so- lemn; he'raieed himself en his elbow. and solidonly one-- earnestly"': Remember! I rely on you -Clive -the Clive was terribly cut up by his father's death; all the more so because of their temporary estrangement. Adolphus again wired to say he was too unwell to travel, and requested Olive to make all the ne- cessary arrangements for the funeral. He signed himself Rafborotigh." There was, of course; a great deal to do; and Clive did it thoroughly" after the fashion of leis kind. The funeral was ` a large one; for, now that he Wal dead, a great many persons found that they had entertained a great.' affection for Dandy Rafborouh, and were anxious to be pre- sent at his burying.

Some months later the House was ver- full, for a morning sitting. There was not a member's seat vacant, and the plane allotted to strangers and visitors were all occupied; there was, moreover„that inde- finable stir of unrest and suppressed ex- citement which indicates that something of more than usual interest is actually taking place or threatening. The session had opened with anything but its usual quietness; for during the re- cces the Tory Government had -at least,, so said the . Liberal Opposition -muddled and mismanaged the entire of the coun- try, and the electorate-eo the ,Opposition, declared -were already tired of, and die - gusted with, the party they had but in power; and the Opposition were on the alert, hoping that the Government would soon make some false sten which would bring about their overthrow, and. in con- sequenoe, the elevation of the Liberals to place and power. In a word, it was thought that the time had come when the , political pendulum should, in the ordinary course of .things,. swing .hook, and sweep the Tories from 'of - .co. So the Liberals were full of energy-, waiting for the auspicious moment in which they might smite their foes hip and thigh. The feeling of excitement, expectation, spread even to the ;lobbies, through which a stream:. of persona flowed to and fro, or stood in detached groups eagerly discus- sing the poeition of the rcepeotive parties, and the likeliihood of the change wlu h the. political barometer seemed to prognoeti-. cafe. In one' of these groups stood Lord Ohes tehleigh and one or two other peers in eager confab with; some other prominent men of them own side. They were all au]1 of hope and in the best of"spirit8:,'"stud every now .and then the conversation was. Punctuated by little jokes and laughter. "Yes, they'll come to a smaeh. Mark MY words!" Lord Chessterleigh ` said: 'They haven't passed half the measures they pro- mised; and those they have passed they have spoiled. It's :always their way. Look' at the 'Housing of the Poor Bill. We told them when we accepted it that,it was only. a half -measure,, that it wouldn't wash, and that when we got in we should'have to lick it into shape.' "Talking, of the Housing' of the Poor Bill," cut in Lord Standen. ;who wee one of the group; 'has any ono seen anything of Olive Harvey? Be:left before: the Pro- rogation, and has not come -back;' and no one has seen or heard anything of hints - at :least, I haven't.” . "No! Where is Harvey? ..He ought to`be here," pried 'another man, ' Lord Chesterlelgh' was silent for a mo- ment, then he said quietly and rather gravely: • Harvey was knocked up -and no: won- der! Ile has been 'working as hard as t nirrsrer. He looked, and wae, worn out. And the death of hie fattier— It was I: who advised him to go away. He has been abroad trav'eiling. Where? I don't knew. Australia and the other colonies, I be- lieve. I've not heard from him." Be ought to be here," said the man who epoke before. "We want a rally in force; and Harvey is invaluable, 'a host in him- self. I shouldn't have thought he would have been'' so_„ knocked up; he looks so strong." 'Be was overworked," repeated 'Lord Ohesterleigh. "But I agree with your he ought to be here: we want everymanj and, as you say, he is a Bost in himself." Almost as he spoke, a tall figure made its- way through the. restleea crowd, and approached the group; and ;Lord Standen. who was the firet to catch eight of it, ex- claimed: • By George!

Measured About Three ' Inches When Its Legs 'Were Extended. It was when I lived in Greytown, Natal, writes. the: Rev. N. Abra- ham in Nature. One day I was catching small fish and acquatic in- sects kr an aquarium, and I was unting a small 'net in a shallow stream, I happened to see' on%he edge of the water- a fine spider, which I captured. On reaching ` home, I placed my specimen : in a ' large aquarium; where 1 had a number of small fish. The ,spider measured about three inches when its legs were extended; the body is small, but the legs are long. After, hiding in the :roekwork of the aquarium for Elope time, it took up a very interesting position. It rested two legs on a stone, and let the other six float on The water, we11 spread out. The ends of the six legs thus cominanded a well,de-_ fined area of water; I merely took notice of its atti- tude, and left it to its own devices. -After a few minutes my servant boy came into my study to say that the spider was eating one of my pet fish. I at once went to see what had' happened. The spider was on top of the roekwork, and it held in its grip a beautiful little fish, about four times its own weight. I was startled. How could this spider, which has no power to swim, catch a lively, quick -swimming fish? It seemed to clutch the fish as a cat clutches a mouse. It soon began to devour its catch, and before long nothing was left of the fish but its bacik-bone. I was now eager to .find out how iThat spider caught the.fish., night about eleven o'clock, I sat down by the aquarium to watch the spider. It had taken up its posi- tion on :a piece of stone, where the water was not deep, and had thrown out its long legs over the water, Their extremities rested on the sur- face, and made little depressions on but did not, break the "water skin." The tarsi of two posterior '•legs firmly held to a piece of rook, just about at water -level; the whole "body was well' over the water,. and the head was about in the centra of the cordon of legs, very near to the surface of the water, After" watching for some time, 'I saw a stall Ash swim toward the stone andpass under the out- stretch legs of the spider. The :lat ter made a swift and sudden plunge. Its long legs, head and body went entirely under the wa- ter, the legs were thrown round the fish with wonderful rapidity, '.and in a moment the powerful fangs pierced; its body, The spider ab once brought its catch to the rocks,• aid began td cab it, 'A.
