The Iwater sparkled like diamonds in the sun. • shine, as it fell over a auccession of stones which barred and at the same time harried its course. A dark ridge, purple. with ling, , rose steeply in front, and seemed to end the valley and bar further passage. A. few Isteps beyond a steep track appeared on the right, leading up to the source of the brook, which came plunging, and foaming down the purple revine. Here the brook parted into two etreams i one rushed on down the 1 valley ; the other followed a path on the I left, which, instead of mounting, turned suddenly and wound round the base of the 1 hillaLuth took this path, and was quickly out of eight of the valley.

A rushing sound gnided her onward; it, was the noise of the waterfall behind which she was to meet her lover. She eaw Mr. Bevington lying on the grass waiting for her. The noise drowned 1 the sound of her footsteps. She went for- ward shyly, though her heart was full of joy. All at once he started up as if some instinct warned him of her presence. "My darling 1" he said, as he clasped her in his arms, "how sweet and good of you to come I" She smiled up at him.

(ro BE CONTINUED,) CHAPTER IV. had purchased the property—that is to say, Appledore and its belongings—and had allowed him to free himself from debt and to farm part of his own land as their tenant. When Philip. Bryant married, Kitty w Stokesay she as only eighteen and she was a,s clever as she was bright and beauti- ful. Mr Stokesay could. not help liking his hendsome, happy -tempered. young son- in-law, but his pride was mortified. He had fondly hoped his Katy would have married into what he considered to be her rightful position. Philip Bryant came of a good old family, but he bad had few ad- vantages; and Mr. Stokesay feared that he inight have inherited his father's extra- vagant habits. The old man refused to live at Appledore, and settled himself in the cottage. A legacy from a relative had enabled him to make it into a pleasant and. suitable home, From the tiMe her mother died little Ruth went regularly to scho ol with her grandfather. Even when his last illness came upon him he still took pleasure in teaching the intelligent girl,and although she had occasionally demurred when her studies interfered with the long walks and rides she loved to take with her father, she had been too sweet -natured to persevere in refusal. Ruth to-diay walked along to the church- yard, thinking how different life had been while he lived. She had learned little since his death. She had read Mr. Clif- ford's books and she had nursed her aunt; and then, as the girl thought over the last three months, she knew she had only be. gun to enjoy lite since she had known Mr. Bevington. She passed the post -office opposite the little inn, and then instead of following the straggling line of houses which called itself the village of Church - Marshfield, she turned into on up -hill road on the right, which led direct to the church. At this leafy time of year , only a part of the old gray tower could be seen between the elm trees that rose above the low stone wall of the church- yard. A little farther a flight of steps with a turn -stile at the top led into the grassed space, with its irregular and lichen -spotted stones. Ruth went on till she reached the east end. There, just underneath the three -sided ancient window behind the altar, was a small neat grave, with a headstone on which were the names of her mother and her grandfather. Rath had been twelve years old when heamother died, but she had never ceased to mourn her. To -day she longed sorely for her lov- ing sympathy, and as she knelt beside the grave she unconsciously leaned against the headstone. Yes, she was sure that her mother would have told. her whether she was doing right in keeping this secreb from her father. A gurgling sound made her start. What was ib? It seemed to come from the grave next her mother's. Rath held her breath in a sort of totter, and then as she rose to her feet she smiled. Close behind the turn -stile, hie rosy, chubby face pressed against it as if trying to squeeze between the bars, was a small boy of about four years old. A pinafore So entirely covered him from bead to foot that he looked like a short brawn holland ' bolster. He had -been pulling so vigor- I °ugly at the brim of his straw hat that he , had wrenched the two outside rows apart from the rest, and had almost, hidden hie tearful blue eyes. Ruth, however, resog. nized him at a glance as Mrs. Voce'S grand. child. "Why. Georgie-porgie," she aid, " is it you? What are you doing here—eh, dar- ling ?" She reaohed the turn -stile as she ended, and bending down elle pat her arm round the little boy and kiseed him. At this, he first screwed one rosy list into his eyes, and thou the other. As %tie teemed by him down the steps, meaning to lift him eater her, he caught at her gown in terror and hid hie face in its folda. " Dwoant 'ee go, dwoartt 'ee I Georgie, porgie canna bide alone. I *owlet," he said eturday, seaming the first person, and lookieg steadily up et the tall lady. Ruth kissed him again, and then toted him down the steps. "Bub how do you come to be here al' by yourself, Georgie—eh, darling? Where's grannie "'Cos I wants to climb the big hill, an' grannie says she's other fish to fry. I's going mi eself, / s," he said stingily, With a rebellious look on his red, chubby facie. Ruth stifled a laugh. ”Little boys can't elimb hills, deorgie; it wouldn't be safe, dear, for you to climb up the hill," always delivered the Appledore letters be- fore the farmer came in. Ruth started and blushed as she event forward to kiss her father; she was so conscious of the letter lying hid in her pocket, a letter from Mr.' Bevington. In the week that had gone by she had be- gun to get -used to the burden of her secret, bat it now weighed more heavily than it did at first. Mr. Bevington asked her in this letter to meet him in the Mill Valley, a secluded place not far from her home, but still not the sort of place she would have chosen for a meeting ; for the part of the valley he specified—the Gutter, as it was called—betvveen two lofty hills, was singularly lonely. If by chance any one saw her there alone with Mr. Beving- ton, she knew there would probably be gossip about her, and she felt she should deserve it. Her father was so silent and preoccupied that he scarcely looked ab her this morning and. her own silence at breakfast was unno- tice,I. When she was alone again she reread her letter. Her color deepened and herheart swelled as she went over the ardent words. She nev er thought of disobeying Mr.Beving- ton s summons. n ee , a ter this' second 1 reading she told herself she was a coward and untrusting. He who loved her so very dee.rIy would not expose her to the slight- est risk of gossip. He mast know the val- ley better than she did, for he had spent hours there fishing; and he had probably made himself sure that the further end be- tween the hills was never visited by way- farers. But she could not shake off a cer- tain shrinking fear -when at length the time he had fixed on, five o'clock, drew near. The way to the Mill Valley opened on the right some way nearer hom.e than her grandfather's cottage. A short road bor- dered by hedges led to a gate. When she had crossed the meadow beyond. the gate the hills began to rise on either side, and 11, little babbling brook came merrily Ilashing along its shallow, etony bed, as if it were in haste to greet At first the valley was wide and the brook ran broadly about half -way between the hills; these were covered with closely cropped turf and dotted with dwarf buehes of golden gorse, which this afternoon had the man on them and seemed to glow with brightness, varied by the occasional cloud - shadows that fell on the crossing hill flanks and added interest to the lovely scene, Here and there, high up on the hillside, were busy nibbling sheep, pale yellow blots among the tufts of brake that shared the side e elf the hills with the gorse. Every now and then, on tbe right, a rift showed between the hills leading upward by a nar- row, ever -mounting path, and from each of these rifts, or "gutters," as the country folk called them, came brisk Tittle streams, hur. twin and foaming ovet the atones in their , course to aveell the brook that ran down the valley from the mill. The mill stood on some level ground nestleddamong treesnn the left side of the nano wing valley. The hugh millveheel stood idle, as if it were taking resb ; and a. group of little children were playing in the mill yard. A little way beyond a single -Plank bridge crossed the little stream, and Ruth went over it. Us- ually she jumped the little stream, or, when recent rains had greatlyincreaseditabreadth, she would spring across front one stone to another ; but today she felt timid and pre. occupied. She was joyful ea the thoughb of seeing her lover, and she shrank from the news which he might have to tell, If, after he had described her to his'perente and they had seen how much he loved her, they still persisted in their refusal to sanc- tion the engagement, the girl thought that, terHble as it would be for both, Mr. Beviagton ought to give ber nen he should not Oleic it righe to persist in any- thing of which het father disapproved, and she ought not to eneourago (ter lover in disobedience , and then elm felt that it was too hard, toosbitter ; she eould not grve up her lovet.

The roll- ing green patenas are cut off sheer and straight from the ericircling belts of jungle as though measured off by human hands, a etriking feature of these elevated regions which has never been satisfactorily ex- pleinecl. The mountain ranges which in- close the grassy plains ate clothed from base to summit with primeval forest, heavily draped with moss, which forms a green fringe hanging from every bough. An appalling loneliness broods over the scene, no song of bird stirs the silence, and ' the deathlike hush which reigns over the gloomy forest is unbroken even by the rustle ota leaf, for noon is the midnight of the tropics, and the black depths of the jungle are wrapped in spellbound eleep.

CANADA -AUSTRALIA LINE. Hr. Madden Interviewed In London. A London special says an interview to -day Mr, James E. Huddart, the pro- moter of the proposed riew Canadian Peelle mail route to Australia, expressed himself as most hopeful of obtaining ali the advent - ages and concessions which were the objects of his visit here. Sir Charles Tupper, Canadian High Com- missioner, said that during tbe kat week he had been approached by repreeentatives of Liverpool, Milford Haven, Southarnpinn, Swansea, Bristol, Plymouth and Cork, who poineed out the advanbages of their respective towns as ports of call for the new line.

Christopher Ward was a member of a well-to.do family living in Caledon town- ship. Early in the sprung of 1875 he made a pleasure trip to England. On the way beck he beeame acquainted with a pretty young dressmaker ou her way to Toronto. Mary, for that was her name, was ooming to the home of her uncle, a gardener at Government house. The acquaintance ripened fast and soon after her arrival in Canada Mary became Mrs. Ward. A lioase was furnished and the young couple went to live on the hue - band's farm in Caledon Township. Ellen Morrison, the daughter of a neighbor, as- sisted in the housework. • PLOTTING run MURDER. Marriage was somewhat of it failure so far as Al r. a.nd Mrs. Ward were concerned, and quarrels were of frequent occurrence. On April 5, 1876, Mrs. Ward prepared to visit her aunt in Toronto. Her husband interposed no objection and drove her to the railroad station at Caledon, but when he got there he told his wife that she had bet- ter wait for a week and he would then ac- company her. He was strangely persistent and at last his wife yielded and went back to the house. Then he requested her to send the Morrison girl away. The night was a stormy one and the wind howled dismally about the house. What happened there, according to the theory Of Government Detective Murray,who worked up the case, backed by the opinionof many experts, is that Ward, while hiewife was sleeping, secured a butcher knife and stab- bed her to death. Then with the skill of a practised butcher he Carved the bleeding form into numberless pieces. The bones were disjointed much in the same manner as the head of the house carves a Christmas turkey. • BURNED THE BODY. • Then, evith the. mutilated fragrnents of what had been his wife, the fiend calmly proceeded with his horrible work. • From the cellar he brought up several jars of tallow and started a roaring fire in the stove. The heat of the fire was so intense that the bottom of the stove was burned out ancl the blazing tallow spread over the pine door. Soon the whole house was in fie MOS. With the cunning of a madmen, Ward seized a burning ember and seared his breast and neck. Then, when nothing could. save his home, he rushed to his father's house aud spread the alarm. When asked about his wife he said be was awakened by the heat of the fire. • He called for his wife, but received no reply.

There is hardly a country in Europe tho.t is emverned exclusively by men of that na- tionality. This peculiar steteofa.ffairs arises from international marriages, the accidents of war and voluntary changes of residence by men wile are "down on their luck." M. Waddington, who though English by birth, rose to be premier of France'is a notable example. Another French statesman, Eugene Speller, bears a German naine and was born of Badanese parents, Gembetta the greatest public man France has had for years, was of Italian parentage, while it will be remembered that Napoleon himself was a Corsioan. France has in turn given Italy several men of ability and prominence, among them Comte de Laimay, the famous diplomat, who hated his own land of France with an undying hatred. England has con- tributed the two admirals named Acton to the Italian cabinet list. On the other hand among the men with Italian blood serving elsewhere there may be mentioned Caprivi, the chancellor of the German empire. Austria is especially rich in powerful aliens. Its prime minister, Count Taafe, is an Irishmen and a member of the British peerage. Frenchmen, Italians and English- men are also 'plentiful in. the .Austrian pub- lic service. Irishmen arevery prominent in Spariish affairs, which accounts for the revalence of Irish names in the Spanish- American republios of South America. Queen Christana's secretary is the Conde di Morphi, which but thinly disguises "the good old Irish name of Marphy." In Eng- land many men Of German descent are pro- minent, among thein Mr. Goschen, Baron Henry Worms, and Sir Henry Drummond - Wolff. Sir Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett is the only American who figures in the list. It is for their wives alone that Europeans come to this country, not for their states- men. De Giers, the man who guides Rus- sia's destinies, is a German, and Grote, secretary of state, is a Swede.- General Melikoff was of Armenian parentage. Al- most all nationalities of Europe and citrate a few of Asia are represented in the Rus- sian public service. Many foreigners are also serving Sweden. But the most curious fact is that numer- ous members of reigning families are un - ab e to speak the language of the countries over Which they rule without a marked for- eign accent. King Christian of Denmark and the queen are of German birth end edu- cation, and their son, King George of Greece, is also a German by birth. There is a faint trace of French in the speech of Sweden's King Oscar, descendant, of Mar- shal Bernadotte. The father of Leopold of Belgium was a German. Even Emperor William, who does not love English habits or the Englishpeople, betraysin his speech the English origin of his mother. It is also tree that the Queen of England was wont to talk in German with Prince Albert, and even uses that tongue to -day in her family. The German' origin el the English royal family is very plain to be observed, and shows the persistence of the Teutonic type. A. TELL-TALE elem. The neigbbors suspected that something was wrong and at once telegraphed tne authorities at Toronto. Detective John 1 Murray was detailed on the ease and he arrived at the house while the timbers were yet on Bre. He saw Ward in bed at his 1 mother's house and questioned him closely. 1 The detective noticed that, while the man was rather severely burned about the neck, his hair was not even singed and he bore no marks of having fought a battle with fire. After the fire had burned itself out the timliters were pulled away. A piece of the seventh vertebras end the fragment of an ankle bone were all that was left of Mrs. Ward. In the ruins of the house was found O piece of bedticking and some feathers saturated with blood, that apparently bad not been touched by the fire. A butcher knife, the point bent as if it had been used much, was found under the spot where the bed had stood. So fierce had the fire been, that the stove had been burned. HUMAN BLOOD EXTRACTED PROM TEE IRON Detective Murray then commenced to fix together a chain of expert testimony on which Ward was finally convicted of mur- der. Prof. Croft analyzed the iron of the butcher knifeand the feathers. His evidence was that human blood was present in large quantities. From the position in which the knife was fgund it was surmised that Mrs. Ward had been killed while in bed. Before Judge Moss the case was tried at Brampton in the spring of 1876. John Hillyard Cameron defended Ward. The late Judge Kenneth MacKenzie and D'Arcy Boulton acted for the crown and were ably assisted by the researches of Detective Murray. The defence pleaded insanity and called not less than a dozen doctors, including Dr. Workman, who said that Ward was of unsound mind. The crown, however, had a preponderance of the medical testimony, and among others Dr. Dixon, of Rockwood Asylum, testified that the prisoner was perfectly sane and respons- ible for his acts. The trial dragged along tediously and Ward was found guilty and sentenced to die on the gelloves on the first Friday in June. Many petitions were sent to the Government asking for clemency and the sentence was commuted to imprisonment for life. RE DIED A MANIAC, Six months after his sentence he showed pronounced signe of insanity and was tient to the Criminal Asylum at Rockwood. Mae years later he died III the asylam. The &inters had had many a wordy war over the question of \Vardle Fatuity, and to settle it Dr. Macdonald of New York, an ex- pert in brain diseases, and another caper tfrom Ann Arbor Cellege made an examination of hie brain and decided that it was cliaeas- It is an interesting feet atilt a son of John Hillyard Cameron, the defender of Ward assisted Mr. E.

An Alaskan Bath. "UP in Alaska the method of taking a bath is soinawhat heroic," remarked a traveller. "Every trading post has a batlahouse and the people are supposed to avail themselves of its priviledges once a week. A person accustomed to living in a milder climate would have a good deal of hesitancy about undressing in one of these places as the temperature is always below zero.

The Horse rsn't Alive, but Ile Can Canter and Gallop. A remarkable inVention to enable people Iso get a good imitation of horseback riding ,in their own homes is displayed in London, according to the Westminster Budget. It is called the "Hercules horse -action saddle." It consists of a series of four platforms, one above the other. Each hits several helical springs, which are adjusted according to their positions for best taking up the strain they will respectively have to sustain from the changing movements of the rider. On the top of all is a saddle secured to it steel spindle. The ends of the spindle are carried through two vertical slotean which they are free to move up and do All the mechanical apparatus is inclosed within a mahogany frame which looks like a small dinner -wagon, about thirty inches in length and breadth, and about four feet high. On each side of,the frame is a foot- board and in front is an iron handle, some- thing like that of a heroic, but fixed. The "horse" may be mounted • by placing one foot on the footboard and throwing the other over the saddle: The action of the legs as in rising in the gimps releases the pressure on the springs, and the saddle moves up and down ac on a living horse. By gripping the knees tightly to the saddle or by the motion of the arms on the handle the action of a horse froni a gentle canter to a hard gallop can be irnitaaed. THE CATTLE EMBARGO.
