CHAPTER
Ruth found her father smoking by the
light of a single eandle. He did not often
smoke in that room, but to -night he had
wished to be alone, and there was always a
chance that one of the servants Might pass
through the great stone -floored house -place,
which., though it was called a kitchen, was
seldom used for cooking. Mr. Byrant raised
his head and looked at his daughter when
she came in, but Ruth kept in shadow,

over for the day. After high -tea at seven
o'olock her father amok ed. a pipe or two
and semetimes drank a glass of ale. He
usually chatted with his daughter before
she went to bed, but to -night Ruth was
impatient to be alone. Her head ached
strangely; she hoped her father would not
expect her to talk. He rose presently and,
said he was going to bed.

He bent over Ruth and kissed her.
Their faces were so much alike in point of
features and complexion, and yet the ex-
pression was so very different. The frank
sweetness of the girl's mouth was the dom-
inant expression in Philip Bryant's; but
his lips lacked the chiselled firmness of
Ruth's and his chin had not the deci-
sion which made hers so remarkable.
Her forehead was broad and square also.
Her father's forehead expressed benevolence
rather than much power of judgment. The
eyes, alike in form and oolor,were unlike in
their revelation of character; while. Ruth
carried her head, erect and looked frank and
fearless, her father's head was often ben
forwari, and his glance was shifting and
unsteady. Ruth felt sure she should not
sleep, and she wanted to be up early, in
the hope of getting a last glimpse of her
lover. She was, however, so healthy that
her nerves were strong, The excitement of
the evening had tired her witheut creating
that sort of feverislediaturbance whichmakes
rest impossible. She fell asleep almost 'at
at once. She roused early and dressed,
but when she reached the top of the stair-
case she heard her father's voice below, and
she went back again to her room. She felt
that it would vex Mr. Bevington if
she exposed herself to remark. She
had hoped to steal quietly down to the
study and wait there till he Came. She
opened the window and leaned out; she
heard the trap come up to the front door,
and there was a murmur of voices. Ten
mioutes or so passed, and then the wheels
crunched over the road. Ruth did not
hear any leave-taking; she guessed that her
father was driving into Purley with Mr.
Bevingtone The girl suddenly broke down
and she cried bitterly, then indignantly
wiped her eyes and tried to laugh at her-
self; but her heart felt twice its size, and
she was utterly dejected.
"It won't do to go on like this." She
checked a heavy sob. "I'll go and get
some brea,kfast. I'm no better than the
dairy -maid was; and how did' scold her
for crying after Peter!"
She found Bridget dusting the sitting,

woman said, in an aggrieved voice.
"Never mind," Ruth answered cheer-

and butter."
Ruth knew that her lover would have
breakfasted in the old-fashioned room, and
she longed to be where he had been so
lately. She was paler than usual, but she
looked very lovely as she took her place at
the end of the huge table. The sun stream'
ing in through the lattice opposite seemed
concentrated on her as the only ,bit of color
in the room; in its full light her hair look-
ed a warm auburn flecked with gold. The
window wes threenfided. The lower part of
the bay was filled by a deep ledge on which

close her eyes and call back the sweet
memory.
Only one fact troubled Ruth—the aoret

Out into the mystic and ever wonderful

our mind contrasting conditions. Within,

without, the cruel, beating waves, theswift

commonwealth. In fact, in whatever part
of `Canada one may travel he observes that
the virtue of hospitality is prominent, end
nowhere is iG more striking than in the city
of Halifax.
This is the first thing that impresses a
visitor there. Distant hills and further dis-
tant mountains shelter one of earth's most
peaceful cities and most beautiful harbors.
From the summit of the citadel, which,
towering high above the city,overlooks not
only the plan of the wle- city but also of
the landscape for miles around,one canhave
a complete bird's eye view of the harbor
reaching into the northern basin and south-
ward twenty miles toward the, ocean ; and
the beautiful northwest arm of the harbor
as it breaks away from the main channel
and running in a north westerly direction
forms, in conjunction with the harbor, the
picturesque Point Pleasant. We might
give greatest praise to Haligonian scenery
were it not that Canada in nearly every
part of her vast dement is possessed of the
grandest displays of natural phenomena
that defy the pen of the topographer or the
brush of the artist.
The citadel is in the centre of the city;
and, viewed from the harbor, suggests the
presence of a stranded modern ark, upon a
modern Ararat, with its three high spars
reaching into the heavens. Within is a
Spartan city. Here high walls encompass
one and the gay and unrestricted are for-
ever excluded. Men here must walk, talk
and act " straight" ; and if they wish to see
feathered bonnets or eat with the "mote
gentle" sex it must be seen andeenjoyed
without.
It is a city of magazines, of offices, of
posts, of "quarters" and squares, and the
cleanest of cities. The place may be visited
on special occasions, but a few of its wonders
are never seen. No one knows whether the
tunnel from the citadel under the harbor
to Dartmouth is a reality or a myth.' From
this commanding position looking in a north
easterly direction we can see one or more
'nano -war ships in port. Usually there
are two; sometimes there are five, including
visiting admirals. They look harmless as
without motion these great Leviathans rest
their snorting, screeching, thundering in-
ternal forces. On all national occasions
peaceful citizens who never go to battle and
only know what thunder southis like get an
idea of what a naval battle might be.
Every night the citizens, these who have
a mind to leave the hum of the city, may
enjoy listening to the best band music and
that played on the water.
Di have this privilege they may ascend
the citadel and there, amidst silence, with
stars twinkling above and below them,
rest and drink in the silvery strains ; or
they may launch out from the ducks any-
where along the harbor in any sized boat
and, sitting there, without tide or wind to
disturb, delight themselves. But in neither
plac e can an enemy be hidden. There is
focussed upon him a flaeh of the brightest
and most searching light imaginable. This
electric search light often fells upon
the friendly city ad the most hideous,
screeching thing that could be invented
often disturbs the most restless soeiety in
the city. Halifax is occasionally treated
with a ceihs,m naval contest," while a
"fight" between land forces on the large
commons is e common thing.
Point Pleasant is now to our rightmemost
due south. This is one of the most pleasant
of places and is a natural park. Many
"summer shelters" adorn this cool retreat.

struggling as if endeavoring to tear away
the navigators' only hope, it reaches Zeit
from "Gibraltar the second" or properly
named York Redoubt for half a mile. In
a south-east wind the breakers upon this
reef are immense Bald the whole mouth of
the harbor is walled by them. Here is
where the wreck of the majestkileritish. ship
"Le Tribune" occurred.
Here is where Capt. Barker exclaimed
"Not a soul quits this ship as long as two
planks hold together" and as a result the
lives of two hundred' men were thrown
away to save the reputation of one.
Opposite is Herring cove, Made immortal
in the minds of men as the place where the
ship finally laid herself to rest, sinking
with all on board.
"La Tribune was a captured French ship
and was taken to England as a prize, but
she learned how inhoapitable are the coasts
of Nova Scotia.

the Lake Erie tugboat Stauffer," said a
welf.knowo commercial traveller,the other
day, " has a diamond ring which, astde

singular manner in which it came Auto his
possession. Capt. Peternon is one of the

come as long as he Byer, One night a year
or so ago the Captain's 'wife awoke some,
where along about midnighe, arid heard
some one in her room. She sea -earned a
scream that awoke her husband wide open,
and he saw a man hurrying towards the
window of the room. The Captain jumped
out of bed and got to the window in time
to grab and recover his wife's $300 sealskin
coat which the burglar had under his arm.
But the thief got away. Next morning the
Captain, discovered, that his gold watch and
chain were gone. The timepiece was worth
$1.10, and Capt. Peterson went out on the
leke that morning feeling blue enough.
"Time business that called him out on the
lake that morning was to haul in a number
of seines which had been dragged by a heavy
storm three miles from where they had
been set, He felt so bed,over the loss et
his watch that he tried. no get some other
tugboat master to take the job off his hands,
but everybody was busy and the Captain had
to go himself. When the last seine had
been hauled in he saw something sparkle
in the sun on one edge of the net. He
looked to see what it was, and was aston-
ished to find a ring entangled in,the cords.
It was black with mud all but in one spot,
and that sparkled like an electric light.
When the Captain came ashore he took his
singular find to a jeweller and asked him'
what it was worth, When the jeweller
told him that the sparkle came from a dia-
mond and the ring was good for the best
$500 bill that was ever turned out, Capt.
Peterson forgot all about being blueeiver the
loss of his watch. The jeweller said that the
ring had undoubtedly been many years at
the bottom of the lake. It might have be-
longed to some one who went clown with
one of the numerous wrecks that occur
every year on Lake Erie. Capt. Peterson
has had several offers of more than twice
the market value of the ring for it, but he
refused them all."

Wall Pocket.
This wall pocket although not new to a
great many will be a help to those who
have the fineribbed palm fans whose edges
are broken and are on the pine of being
thrown out. The edges may be "cut and
fine chenille or Japanese gold cord drawn
to each notch, and the edges touched with
gold. A soft pocket is pieced on the Brent,
haring something at the top to keep it in
place, as half a smell hoop or bit of steel.
Sir Frederick Leighton,t e greet English
painter, is 'a stalwart, long -nosed man of
pompous manner, with curly heir and a
flowing grey board, and always wears a
voluminous silk tie, • loosely knotted, the
ends flowing superbly over his shoulders.
He is a profoundly ornate speaker, but his
period, like hie paintings,sinell too strong-
ly of the lamp, and the art etuderits, Whoni
he addresses with watittese suavity ones a

This one is of green silk, and green velvet
of a darker shale, with two shades of green
ribbon. This makes a convenient recepta-
cle for the silk or chamois piano duster.

What Electric Power May DO.
In Sweden electrical Mese has already
been successfully applied to the smelting of
ore. In Germany and the United States
appliances for the transmisson of electrical
energy over Jong distances are approaching
perfection.
Pile these two facts together and then
apply them to the situation as it exists in
Algoma. From Sudbury to the Sault is one
of the richest mining districts in the
world. Iron and nickel, as well as more
precious metals, are there to be found in
abundance. There is, also, all through tide
district waterhpower, of almost unlimited
extent, constantly running to waste. If
this power can developed into ele °trio force,
carried by wire for several miles and ap-
plied to the crushing of -ore, smelting and
transportation of material from the mine
to the smelter, the future of Algoma
is assured. The absence of coal, so great a
drewback now, will no longer be felt and
the enormously rich natural products of
the country may be prepared on the spot
for the ultimate market.
The useful and beautiful are never separ-
ated.
