It was after five in the afternoon when Mr. Barnett returned.' " Confound Morgan I" he said to Jenkins, who was his head-obnkt and who had wait- ed.behind the others, in case of anything being required. "1 could nob get away earlier. It will be 'after ten before I get to Mr. Monkton's house, for 1 will he.veto wait till the eights o'clock train now.

"Alt right, sir," answered Jenkins; and then Mr. Barnett departed. He left Boston Station at eight o'clock en route for Eldergate, which was distant from bha Metropolis about two hours' journey by rail. Mr. alonkton'e carriage was in wait- ing at tho station, and he was soon being driven up the avenue to the house. Mr.Barnett followed the loquacious old lady into the room, where supper was im- mediately brought in. "I am surprised to see you, Mrs. Crawford," he said. "1 dil not knew you were here. Miss Ashley did not mentioe you in her leeter this morn- ing." "Beoause she didna ken I was ooniing. I'm staying in London wi' my son Peter now, and I came down her this morning on a visit by chance. I found everything at sixes and sevens, and that puir lassie greet- ing like to break her heart; so I just stayed on till ye would come." "You were quite right.

I have been often here before, you know." Oh, I'm in no hurry," said Mrs. Craw. ford. She had dismisaed the servant, and had herself waited to attend to Mr. Bar. nett's wants. He had scarcely begun to do justiee to the supper, however, when she suddenly bent forward and whispered almost into his ear: " He's here." "Whoa here? Whom do you mean?" asked the solicitor, almost dropping his knife and fork in his surprise. "Who should I mean but Henry Monk - ton, of oourse ? Came here in the middle o' the afternoon, and infende waiting,till after the tuneral, he says. But he may spare himsel' the trouble, for onything he'll got, I hope."

" Mter all, it may be in that old cabinet or In this desk; but I shmile ilibak he would not keep anything' hut let- ters or things ot that kind in either of these two places." He happened to turn round after closing She drawer, and the bundle lying on the eme attracted hie attention.

Now, if you will look up the reoords von will see that the' range of tem. perature here is ono ot the narrowest to be fonnd anywhere on this °oath:amt. Here are the extremes that have been renord- ed here, and though the tango between :sem is nob wide, it is wider than may be reoorded again for thirty years, On Jan. 9, 1886, the mercury here fell to 15 ° above zero, and on June 22, 1881, it rose as high as 970, giving a range between ex• tremes of 820 bub, as every Louisanian knows, the former figure is one to which the meroury is not likely to fall once in thirty years. . "Now if you compare this range -82 - with those recorded in other portions of the United States you would nob find any less, except it might be at some of the seacoast statione in middle and southern latitudes oa the Pacific. "Bat when you come to look for wide ranges between the minimum and maximum temperature go into northern Dakota and Montana. What do you think of 1090 ? "I was 'in that country from 1878 to 1881, and on Dec. 29, 1880, saw the temperature 59 ° below asro, and in July of 1881, saw it at 110 0 . These temperaturen are from standard insbrumente used by the Signal Service and 'to prove thee the record is corrathe stations at Fort Benton, M. T., and Pembina, D. T., recorded the same minimum temperature on the same day, making it appear as though there were a belt of country about 600 miles long and 150 miles wide along the forty-ninth ,parallel that has a temperature lower than that re. corded elsewhere in the extreme North- west, In conversation with any Southerner re- garding low temperature Bismarck, D. le, appears to be the zero of his calculations. If Bismarck has a temperature below zero, be it 10° , 15 ° , or 20* below, the cry is 'look out for a cold wave.' Now, in that stretch of country north and northwest of Biamarok, where the minimums occur, the temperabure is invariably 100 to 150 lower than at the latter place. "The =miner temperature ideo appears to be somewhat higher along the forty-ninth parallel. At the time the maximum was 110 0 where I was located in JOY, 1881, Bismarck had but 1020 as a maximum for the same date. These are the extreme occurrences of heat and cola. itt the Northwest, but the average range is probably futly 150 0, and an additional range of 19 ° would not make much difference. "The Pacific coast is nob usually a hot place, but 'exceedingly high temperatures have occurred in California. on several came Mons. On June 17, 1859, the temperature at San Francisco registered 1330, risiog suddenly from 77 ° ; a bnzning northiveat desert wind prevailed for Several hours, and at 7 P, M. of the same date, the temperature had again fallen to 77*. At Sena Barbara, on the same afternoon, a strong burniog desert wind blew for a few hours, destroying all fruit, and animal life exposed to the hot wind died from the effect. The temperature at Santa Barbara is also said to have regis- tered 133 . On the same day the tempera- ture was 102° at San Diego and 117° at Fort Yuma, Cal. " In June, 1887, from the 8111 to the 12th, excessively high temperatures occurred in California, ranging from 93 ° at San Diego to 114 0 at Yuma, and 122 0 at Spring Val- ley. 15 18 an-interenting fact that ice fornied within 600 miles of this temperature, at Cheyenne.
