0/fA}'TI•'li XVI.
It was a lovely day in the Aret
week of August. The laughing eum-
tner had taken full possmeiiott of the
land; the yellow wheat and the glow-
ing fruit had been kissed to ripeness
by the warm dun. The sky was
blue, without a cloud, and the fruit-
ful earth fair to view. The river
flowed calmly between the green
banks, rustling through the reeds
and ri,-'dgee, stirring the great leaves
of the !thee, rippling over the
drooping boughs.
It was drawing near neon. Bon
of the then had sought the coolness
of the billiard -room; some of the
ladies had retired to the shade of
the great oedur-tree, with bookie and
work. Leah had gone to her favor-
ite spot, the terrace, where the pas-
sion -flowers grew in such profusion.
She had taken theta under her ipecl-
al protection and visited them every
day. She little knew what a beau-
tiful picture) she made while stand-
ing there. Her exquisite face, with
its dainty color and sweet lips, was
bent thoughtfully over the flowers
She .wore a long trailing dress o
pale amber. Every graceful line o
her figure was seen to the greatest
advantage; an artist who could have
painted her ass she stood there in
the shade of the veranda, with the
glorious coloring of sunlight) and
flowers about her, would have im-
uatrta!izod himself. She smiled as
She gathered some of the passion-
flowers, remembering the name given
to her.
Then her thoughts went to IIettie,
who had loved the sweet white lilies
best. How different life would be if
that beloved sister were here, how
doubly precious this grand domain
1f nettle altered it! In the gleaming
light on the river. in the fire of the
scarlet passion -Hower, In the flowers
of the gay parterre, sho saw the
swOE) t fair face with its aureole of
golden hair. Would they ever meet
again? she wondered, sadly. Love,
even of liettie, would help to f111
her life—foe life to her was nothing
without love. Suddenly the wind,
which had hitherto been but a lan-
guid breath, seemed to strengthen.
Was it the quickening bresse that
made her tremble? 1[ad the thought
of netts unnerved her. She found
herself still looking over tho terrace
walls, her oyes fixed on two figures
that were advancing slowly toward
her. A strange sense of unreality
po►ascssed her. She could hare be-
lieved herself in the midst, of a
dream; she could have believed that
the brimming river, the blue sky,
the green earth, the cluster of flow-
ere, were all pictures and not. reali-
ties. For a few seconds everything
seemed to be quite still around her—
etill even as death; then the golden
light deeded her, and a sweet mes-
sage
oo-sage lammed wafted to her on the
summer breeae. She made a desper-
ate effort to rouse herself from the h
curious, trance -like feeling that was w
gradually mastering her, and then
she saw Sir Arilnrr standing close y
• to her, a ensnarer by his aide. -- 1
''Loch," said the general, "our S
nese tor, Sir Basil Carlton, has
beetlilcind enough to waive ceremony so
ann call upon us first. Sir Basil,
my adopted daughter and dear nleoe, s
Mies Hatton." h
She eaw a dark head bmt before h
her. She knew her doom was come;
she had known it when alto saw him
walking between the great rntig'nolia- re
trees. She had glways said to her- lo
self that eche should know at. once, to
and now she knew. ni
For some minutes she did not dare w
to raise her eyes, knowing that she li
was about to look upon the face that ha
watt to hold all the light of earth ha
end sky for her. She did look up
slowly at last, with the PO Me rapt, a
reverent gaze with which heathen as
worshippers look at the eun. A to
great hush, a great calm carne over 00
her. Sho saw a noble face, full of ro

eyed and straight brows, a firm
mouth, dark clusters of hair, and u
darn moustache. Yet beauty- was
not the chief eharm of the s'tranger's
Nee; courage and dauntless truth
shone there. Moat people, when
they first met Sir Basil Carlton,
were struck by his handsome fea-
tures and inunly bearing, but they
were attracted even more when the
eyes took a tender light and the
mouth a smite sweet as any wo-
man's.
With the first direct glaneoo of his
10 eyes, her heart went down before
him. lie had come at last, this
king among men, for whom ahe had
waited too long. How strange that
he should find her here, in the home
that was to he hers, in the midst
of the flowers she loved! How
strange that he should be introduced
to her on this lovely morning, when
sun, birds, and flowers seemed to
vie with each other, and the river
sung the sweetest melody she had
ever heard! She felt inclined to
look up at him and ask, "Have you
. looked for me long? Do you know
f Die?" but prudence restrained her.
f Even the duchess, who loved her, had
laughed at her ideas.
"1 1Ike England better than
Italy," said Sir Basil, suddenly,
after a few remarks. "Here, even
in August, how cool and green every-
thing is! You cannot think what a
picture you made, Mise Iratton,
standing against this background of
foliage and flowers."
"You have been In Italy for many
year's?" she said, quietly.
He drew just a little nearer to
her. A great, trailing spray of pas-
sion -flowers lay between thorn; he
raised it, and she thought to herself
how strange a coincidence It was
that bho (should she him with her
favorite blossoms in his a
I
hand.
"I was a boy of eleven when I
went away," ho said, "and now I
am twenty-five. I have never seen
home since then, and 1 regret it."
"Why?" she asked.
"Because there is no training like
that of an English boy. I was just
getting fond of cricket, and begin-
ning to think about hunting and
shooting; I was a good skater, and
understood something about - the
gloves!"
"Do you know," put In Sir Ar-
thur, "that the ring efences of our
estates meet and touch in what they
call the Thorn efeadow7"
"1 remember hearing that when I
was at home. The Brent woods,
from which this place takes its
name, extend athlete. to Glen. I knew
every corner both of house and
grounds when I was a boy."
"I hope you will come as often
now as you did then" said Sir Ar-
thur, and the young baronet bowed.
"You aro very kintf, h9 said; "I
shall bo only too glad to avail my-
self of your goodness. 'Corning
ome' is a very atelancholy event for tut s you perhaps know,"
"Yes; we have heard the cause of
our mother's departure from Ph)g-
and-and a very painful one it was,
ir Basil," said the general.
Leah looked up at him; all her
u} drone in her oyes.
"Let us help you to forget the
badow which baa fallen over your sh
ouae and your life," e said; and
fs face brightened.
"I shall bo only too happy, Miss

hole face changed. "My mother

ppetteed; but the shock her system
d received kilted her at haat."
Leah's dark eyoe, full of tntereet
rid sympathy, filled with tears; and,
he saw thein, his heart warmed
her. How long it was since any

emptiness of all thing.. It had va

OLD AGE PENSIONS,
How the Victorian Government
Plan is Working Out.
Advocates of old -age pensions will
bo interested in a return which has
been published by the treasurer of
the State of Victoria showing the
experience of his Government of the
system of pensions inaugurated in
1001.
In 1901 the maximuuh rate of pen-
sion was Axed at 10s. a week, which
was granted to everybody who
could make good a claim to it. Af-
ter twelve months' experience the
rate was fined at 8s. a week, and
the children of pensioners were
Icompelled, if nt all able, to con-
tribute towards the i,enaion granted.
Reviewing the threw years' experi-
ence, the Victorian Government
Inds that whereas in 1901 it had
o pay 16,275 pensions, on June 30,
1904, when administration was re-
stricted, the rate generally reduced,
only 11,609 people wore entitled to
pensions. The average rate of pen-
sion, with the maximum at 10s. a
week, worked out at 7s 51d. per
pensioner. The present average rato
with the 8s. maximum is 6s. 8d. per
pensioner.
Some idea of tho closeness with
which tho financial standing of pen-
sioner's re.atives fa examined will
he gathered from the tact that
whereas only £10 2s. was recovered
from relatives within the first three
months, in the financial year seeding
June, 1904, no less than £3,495 was
so recovered. The Victorian Govern-
ment now pays away to pensioners
about £200,000 a year, at an ad-
ministrative cost to the State of
only £17,000.
I1ETUILNING THF. RING.
Not infrequently an engaged couple
find that they are unsuited for one
another, and the trouble is --who
shall break it off? Whichever one
wearies of the engagement, the wo-
ma, should break it. The world,
as typified by Mrs. Grundy, counts it
a entail matter it a man is jilted --
even at the church door—but for a
woman to be thus rejected is little
short of a disgrace. At the first
unmistakable Signe of weariness up -
an her lover's part, the woman
should be careful to offer him his
freedom. Not that she should be
exacting or jealous without rause; 1
but it does not need a clinical ther-
mometer to test love's coolness.
Metz who are strictly honorable
will lose touch rather them go hack
upon their word. Such a tuna, hav-
ing asked a woman to marry hint,
will fulfil the letter of the contract,
even though his vows ugly be a hol-
low mockery.
