CHAPTER IV.
Frank Eenf ela stood beside a couch, on
which lay extended the figure of his sister,
on the evening succeeding the day last mein
timed. He had been suddenly recalled in
consequence of the dangerous illuess of his
mother, whose cries, in the height of Jelin-
ium, from an adjoining room, ,pierced his
heart, though they failed to bring any ex-
pression into the face of the marble form ou
which he gazed ; for Mary was past all
earthly emotion—she was dead.
Days passed, and still Hester raved on,
watched and cared for by the husband
she had so dearly loved, and the son
she had so wronged_ At length a change
came, which they hoped might be for the
better --first a glinemeirng of reason, then a
gradual recognition of those about her ; but
the mental shock, joined togreat bodily
prostration, on learning that her daughter
was dead, which they had tried in vain, by
every gentle fiction, to keep from her know-
ledge,was- too great for the little strength
remaining ; and though her mind continued
clear, itbecame evident to thele that her
days wererumbered.
It was during one of these latter days
that, calling Doctor Thornton and her son
to her side, she with much pain and diffi-
culty revealed to them likewise the secret
wbiell had burned hi her heart so long, and
recounted to Fronk all the incidents with
which the reader is already acegnainted,

Her peace was made with all, and in the
sombre twilight, with the gentle loving
heart of old restored to her, Hester was
passing away. "Hark 1 did yon not hear a
voice calling me ? It is my Mary's I see
her now ; she is going to bear me upwards on
her bosom. Dearest husband, 1 may not
stay—Liss me depart. Frank, my dear
dutiful son, forgive me ; let tie clasp you
once morn," and in that close embrace her
last sigh was breathed.
Not many weeks after the events we have
narrated, Frank Benfield presented himself
at General Allenby's to give his mother's
message to Lady Helen, and entreat her to
put oft' his dismissal until he had had time
to make int uuiry father.
respecting his
The only clue he possessed was so
slight, that how to follow it had been
a matter of anxious thought. He had
determined to consult his kind friend
the General, and as he drove to the
house the thought struck hint that
Mardon,ehichwas one of his father's names,
hadalso been lady Helen's—that it was at
any rate a strange coinoidence, if it should
lead to nothing—andelaldon was not a very
common name.
Lady Helen received hien coldly enough,
though her glance softened when she notic-
ed his dress of deep mourning, and learnt
from hitt that he had been absent attending
the deathbeds of his mother and sister.
"My mother, Lady Helen, desired me to
give you this, and to tell you " — Lady
'Helen was looking with a puzzled air
at the card he had handed to her—" and to
tell you that the dying blessing of the wo-
man to whom you yourself gave that card,
and whom you once succoured was yours. I
see you have no recollection of the occur-
rence to which she alluded. When you
were Lady Helm: Malden, do you remember,
on a journey from London about five -and -
twenty years ago, observing in the porch of
a way -side inn a young girt ?"
"I do, I do—I remember all now. I as-
sisted her with a trifling sum, which she un-
willingly accepted as a loan, and to satisfy
her I gave her this card with my address.
I see, I see ; she paid back the money a few
months afterwards, when she found her
husband. It was he she was going in search
off."
" My mother did not find him, Lady
Helen. You were not the only good Samar-
itan Providence cast in her lonely way. An
elderly lady, whom she met in the mail, took
her home, and assisted her in her sorrel for
her husband—my father—which proving
fruitless, after seven years she became the
wife of Doctor Thornton believing her first
husbandtobe dead. Thirteen years ago they
found themselves face to face, and -do not
think harshly of her—my little sister was
dearer to her than life., Concealing my birth
from him, she entered with him into a sol-
emn compact to preserve secrecy on thesub-
ject of their marriage, It was a voluntary
proposal on his part, to repair in a degree
the wrong hehad done her ; for, Lady Helen,
entangled in an attachment formed previous-
ly to meeting my mother, he had intention-
ally deserted her."
"A..sad story, ,Major Benfield. Poorlrl
I remember het well -she was very beauti-
ful ; and your father, is he since dead ?"

joyfully.
"Yes, he is living down in shire, on

again and then Frank saw the white lid
quiver, and tears struggle from beneath the
long lashes.
"I see it all now," she murmured—" poor

gay world, whose taupe wagged so
busily, struggled and fought for the
favour of the young Viscount, and
the vexation which the announce -
anent of his engagement to Alice, and sub-
sequent ,marriage, caused to all its votaries.
It failed, however, to disturb the happiness
of any of the parties concerned, and at

Pure air Rather than Medicine.
It isn't drugs or medicine that is needed
at all ; it is plenty of the purest air that can
be had. Open the windows and the doors,
clear out the cellar and ventilate it
thoroughly, remove the dampness, the
mustiness, the ancient odor, the smell of
decay which greets the nostrils when one
enters from the health giving atmosphere
out of doors, says Good Housekeeping.
Never mind if the outer air bears the taint
of the gas house, the manufactory or some
other unpleasant thing ; it is also mingled
witht he health nd strength giving forces
of nature and is certainly better for the
human system than the same air,whieh has
been shut up and contaminated for an in-
definite period, with no chance for purifica-
tion. Don't mind, even, if a little dust is
brought in ; a few minutes with the duster
will put the whole house in perfect order
again, and even at the worst, dust is not
half so bad as disease. And as for the fear
of draughts, with colds and a thousand re-
sultant evils following in their train, nine-
teen -twentieths of that is imaginary., and
the other twentieth is easily avoidable,
Waste in Stage Dresses,
Parisian actresses go toe very great ex-
treme in the way of costume. Many of
them have to receive immense salaries
simply on account of their dressmakers'
bills. The sum of $6000, which Mlle. Marie
Magnier of the Theatre Gymnase, Paris,
receives annually is insufficient. Her toilets
alone cost nearly $5000 a year, says the New
York . Ledger. In Halevy's comedy,
"L'Abbe Constantin," she wore a beautiful
dress of exceedingly delicate white lace and
gold, costing $1500. Mlle. Jeanne Grapier
receives $100 a night to play " La Fille a
Cacolet" at theV'arieties. Nearly two-thirds
of her salary goes in dress. The dresses
which Mine. Doche wore in the title role of
" Le Dante aux Camellias" cost „600. The
costumes now worn by Mme Sarah Bern-
hardt in the same play will sell for ten
times this sum.
THE RETURN OF TH E BIRDS.
The Robin the .First to Bring Us Spring
Cheer.
The Order In 1t'Ltcb the Feathered. Sous-
stew. Coale Itack to els,
The season has returned when the migra-
tory birds will soon be with us again.
Who can tell the first bird that revisits
Ontario after the stomy winter is fairly
broken ?
The first bird to return is the robin. The
robin is known as wanderer on the face of
the earth, He usually makes his appear-
ance early in February, when the grcued is
still mantled in snow and ice, and when, it
would seem, he could find nothing to eat,
The robin visits every part of the Dominion.
He slakes his mud -spattered nest ou an ap-
ple bough in the orchard. Tile eggs are
usually of a blue-green color, and from four
to six in number.
The second bird to return is the bluebird.
Familiar to all must be this eheeiy bird, one
of spring's earliest visitors, and one of the
most welcome ones withal. All of us who
have ever been in the country can recall
finding the bluebird's nest, usually in some
hollow stump or other artificial retreat. A
dainty nest it is, too, lined with horsehair
and the depositor, perhaps, haat adozen pale
blue eggs.
Then comes back again, next inorder, the
meadow lark. This bird is clumsy in form,
though of rich yet subdued plumage. Its
general aspect is brown, with streaks of ash
over ite crown. The meadow lark flies low
over the fields, its wings rustling ntuehof the
startled fashion of the quail started from
cover. Its nest is a rude affair, loosely con-
structed of stnall twigs, dead wood, oto,
Tho song sparrow follows the meadow
lark. This cheery songster is with us the

y t
n
s i o Who does of knot he son
gr ngtnnn .n Q
sparrow ? A modest bird, of simple, unix•
downed plumage, this• bird is the life of oar
hedges and groves, whistling a soft, aub-
dued note, sweet and tender in its melody.
The blackbirds next return to their
old haunts. Thszeare manyspecies of this
family of birds, such as the crow black bird,
the red -winged blackbird, etc. The black-
bird is, much in demand at the hands of the
amateur hunter or sportsman, who funds this
bird easy game.
Then back again, whistling plaintively and
abrilly iia its haunte in some thick bramble
or copse 1s tt:er;,,.00iril. This son ster is
indeed a familiar oiled our bird life. The
catbird is of a somber, slate gray in eolor,
clean -limbed, spry, graceful, and of aria-
toeratie bearing. There is much dignity
in the carriage of this bird, althouit must
be confessed that its walk is not tyre'h e poetry
of motion. But for this shortcoming its song'
more than counterbalances. Ringing forth
sharp and clear, a peculiarqualityof defiance
is heard in its quivering note. The catbird
remains with us nearlytheentire year.
The tohee bunting is one of spring's ear
liest visitors. This bird is glossy black in
color, with a dash of rich chestnut at its
sides.
One day the swallows return again, and
soon after tile warblers, The first of the
wood warblers is the San Domingo yellow -
throat, of which there aro no less than twenty
varieties. The Maryland yellow -throat is
next in line. This bird takes its name from
the color of its breast and from the fact
that over its head it wears a black hood or
mask. These birds are among our most
sprightly singers.
By the middle of May the woods. are alive
with returned. wanderers in bird land. The
Baltimore oriole retutns to nip the opening
cherries. This bird is the prince of migra-
tory songsters. In plumage it is of dazzling
beauty, its breast glowing like a flame, with
back and wings of glossy black or olive
color.
City people can know nothing of the de-
light of watching the birds come back in
the springtime. That pleasure is reserved
for those who, simple in heart like nature,
are content to pass their days near her deep
green woods and her wild. haunts, beyond
the habitations of men.
The Porcupine.
The Micmac or Shore Indians are very
partial to the porcupine as an article of
fend, the Abenakis not esteeming it so high-
ly, much preferring the flush of the musk-
rat, which the former Indians do not care
about, indeed the Micmacs call the Abenakis
(of St. John River at any rate) muskrat or
musquash Indians.
The Indians make use of the quills of the
porcupine, which they dye to ornament
their birch bark boxes with. Some of this
work is very pretty. When the white
hunters of our forests find a porcupine they
very often make use of his flesh for food.
The black cat or fisher is very partial to the
flesh of the porcupine, and will dare all
the dangers of his quills to secure one ; and
the hunter often finds that the fisher which
he has captured carries some of these quills
in his hide.
The porcupine is very fond of fat or
grease of any kind. It frequents old camps,
and one almost always sees some part of
the deacon -seat on which grease has been
spilled gnawedaway by the sharp teeth of
this animal.
I admit that the porcupine does eat the
bark of trees. I do not think, however,.
that he girdles them so that they die. His
chief food in winter seems to be the leaves
and small boughs of the sapling hemlock. He
is agood climber, but slow; ba fact, he is a very
slow walker and his movements are far from
graceful. As Mr. Flower says the porcu-
pine can strike quick and dexterous blows
with his tail.. Ihave cut a piece of beech
and stirred up a porcupine in his den by
means of it, and on withdrawing the stick
found the hard wood filled. with quills which
had been driven into it by the animal's tail.
With Mr. Flower I admit the damage
one of these animals can do to a field of buck
wheat, but I do not think that they are
especially notorious for trespassing on man's
domain, chiefly confining themselves to the
forest. They are very fond of making their
dens among loose rocks. The interior of
Nova Scotia, which is very rocky and has
little soil, is the best ground which I have
ever seen for porcupines. —Forest and Stream.

A e t personal
explanation on Monday to the electors
at Cinderford, but the conspiracy against
him is so strong that it is doubtful
if ever again he Mill be allowed to enter
public life. There is one man who watches
this development with vivid interest, and
that is Charles Stewart Parnell.
The situation in. Servia, as to which you
have had full and early information, is cloud-
ing over again rather more heavily than be-
fore the recent fall of the Unrnich Clover's-
nient and the accession to power of M.
Patrich. King Milan had abaneioned the
Furpose with which he left London in
ebruary of returning to Belgrade. The
tiurnich (government had assured him that
his presence in Belgrade would impede
rather than advance the settlement of all
the diiilcnities raised there by the presence
of his divorced wife, Queen leatalie, and the
Guruieli Government had undertaken to
carry out the agreement made on King
Milan's abdication in 1$SS, a copy of
whi•:il, now for the first time published,
was sent to you in February. lender
this agreement KingMilan
to
see the complete leality of hs divorce'
eatablished by the Church authorities, and
to have his pension of 360,000 franca a year
permanently charged upon the national
budget. Upon learning et the defeat of the
Quruich Cabinet Ring Milan's anxiety to ace
these matters settled became ungovernable.
The new Premier, M. Patrieh, is regarded
by Ring Milan as hostile not only to him-
self but to the Obernioh dynasty. Two
years ago 31, Patrich mann a visit to Russia,
where lie was received with great distinction
by the Czar, invited to the palace, and de-
corated with an iml rial order in diamonds.
Rightly or wrongly be has been regarded
over since his return, both by friends of
King Milan and of the Servian
as devoted to the interests of Russia, and
therefore as likely to favor the pretensions
to the Servian crown of "the Servian Don
Carlos," Prince learageorgovitclt, now resid-
ing in Montenegro.
Extreme andprceo igcd frosts have Win-
ter -killed the young wheat roots in the
uorthern and western departments of France
and throughout the most of Spain. It is
estimated that at least• third of the 17,000-
000 acres in France under wheat have been
affected, and that the present condition
foreshadows the loss of one-quarter of the
whole French crop. A vast amount of re -
sowing will have to be done, but this can
only be of use under exceptionally and uni-
formly favorable conditions. The threat of
distress is so pressing that yesterday the
Chamber of Deputies voted to remit 6,000,-
000f. of the land tax, beating the Minister
of Finance and the Budget Committee, who
tried to limit the remission to 3,000,000L
Italy* and Austria have fair prospects, but
the outlook in Germany and the North gen-

ing is known yet definitely of the Russian

sia turns up later with an unusually large
surplus, the total European yield will be
lower even than last year.
