CIIAPTER VII.
Mr. Clifford's pace elackened en be drew
near aharch.adareddield. He had been
greatly 'upset by itutlee proposed. he had
loved her for yeare,though foreorne time past
his love had seemed hopeless, A Yeas. WI
when Ruth returned from nursing her aunt,
be found the girl oompletely changed. He
bad never beeu able to deckle whether tide
change had been caused by Mr. 13evingtors
or by Kane new friend Real had met at
Mrs. Whishaw's. Clifford liked Mr. Bev-
higton, and they often rode together ; but
he thought the pupil was too full of other
permits, • and also too easygoing,
• to devote himself to Ruth; and
yet he could not help feeling at time
very jealous. a Mr. Bevington's opportuni-
ties. But the farmer had consulted Chi-
fordbefore the pupil's arrival ; and together
they had Arranged the plan of separate
tinsels, and also that Mr. Bovington's even
-
lugs should be spent in the grisly. As a
sensible, practical mem, Mr. Clifford had
felt obliged to acknowledge that the young
people wield not see much of one another.
• Clifford's own experience had taught him
that Ruth was not addicted tc flirting, and
that she had plenty of self-respect. It was
not likely that she would encourage the
attentions of a man in such a totally diffes
rent position. But then, each time he saw
her showed him the,t she grew more and more
lovely. She might be indifferent to Mr
Revington, but could the young fellow re-
• main inhensible to so much beauty and
charm? And he might try to win her love.
With an indefinable perception of his
friend's carelessness, Mr. Clifford had made
up his mind to warn the farmer a this ' clan-
ger, when the news of Mr. ollevington's
sudden departure came as a relief to his
anxiety.
U. Clifford had seldom seen Ruth in the
nine months that followed, He had gone
in Ootober with his invalid sister to the
South of France, She had fallen seriously
ill on her arrival there, and he had stayed
with her, although his business required
Me presence, and he had been compelled to
engage an expensive substitute. When he
returned he paid frequent visits to Apple-
dore Perm, but Ruth was almost always
ont or engaged. She could not have said
why, but since she had known Mr. Beving-
ton she had shrunk from meeting her old
friend.
. The sidea:of Appledore without Rnth had
thoroughly upset hien. Thet so beautiful
and innocent a creature should venture
iaone into the outside world irritated him,
f6r the time, beyond any power of control;
and be felt that his only resource was to
leave her till he had recovered himself. Ile
had. had to take care of his sister Dorothy
ever since he was sixteer. His father had
been a prosperous farmer, and Michael had
expected to help him and eventually to
succeed him. He had had a good edocation
at one of the cheaper public schools, and
had. been set to an argioultural college.
He had there developed an aptitude for
land -surveying, and when his father
died not nearly so well off as was expected,
Michael Soon found a post in an office in
Purley. His talent and steady industry
helped him greatly, but lie had. another
quality which still more furthered his pro-
gress, the rare gift of prompt and also un-
erring judgment. His ielf-reliance in-
spired hie clients with confidence. If
Michael Clifford willed anything it seemed
more than threly that it would come to
peel. The only aubjeoe on which his
wishes and hie self-rellitnad were not in
unison, perhaps, Was the winning Ruth
Bryant's love. He told himself that she
wait youbg, and that he must trust to
tide and to perseverance; but this hope
had a tinge of fear. He had longed for a
more spontaneous love. Ib would hare
helped him if he liad been able to oak Miss
Bryant im yisit Dorothy, whce-oould neither
walk no drive. but When. he iipeke of this
to his sister she said that she dld pot wish

ing ethees. He tocct made hiffself a fine
business, and his reputation had spread far
beyond his own county. She did not want '
him to drag hitasolf down with the burden

of a pretty daughter, who no deu.bb, so
Dorothy argued, had donehex best 'to draw
Michael on.

down and opened it.
"I shall never keep •my accounts to

bow grave Lis friend was, I had for•
gotten all those hills till. yesterday I found
them all together. I wish you would let
me hand them over to Rubh,. She has a

"Very well." Bryant was always acorn-
modatiug, always ready to give up his own
will, except on one or bwo points. " I
fancy Ruth is out."
"1 Ineti Miele Bryant just now on the
Little Marshfield road." •
I exposit she had been to see Sally
Voce."
There was a pause. Mr. Clifford pulled
out a pooket.book r and then, taking. a
couple of notes from it, he placed them zn
the acoount-book. He was so anxious to
save appearances that he had never given
a 01100k to lldr, Bryant. Re looked up with
a perplexed eipression. "I have entered
thorn," be sad; then he rose and stood be-
side the farmer,
"Thank you, very uneOlt," Bryant said;
"I will pay those bills to -morrow."
t ryes..1
Michael's perplexity was gaining ground;
he looked. distressed,
"Iwant to say something to you old
friend. Till saw those ugly bills 1 had
not meant to speak of it. In feet, I meant
to talk about something quite different.
Do you know, I think this continual strug-
gle is too muCit for you."
Bryant's lips parted, and his chin drop-
ped.
"I do not understand," he said feebly.
"1 ought to have said it six months age,'
Clifford went on, as if the farmer had not
spoken, "but I was a coward ; ated,besid,es,
something might have happened to improve
rneeters. Well, it's this: I think you will
be happier and wiser if you give up Apple-
dore."
Clifford's lips had lost color while he
spoke ;he so intensely felt for his compan-
ion. ! he had been an older man he might
have shrunk -from giving him this shook,
but he knew that he had tried to open
Bryant -1e eyes in a gentler fashion, and
that his cheerful optimism had made this
impossibre.
Don't let there be any misunderstand-
ing between us," Miohael said ; "1 am will-
ing that things should be as they are at pre-
sett,so far asfeelings goes, but suppose my
life drops, then what is t� happen not only
to you, but to -to Miss Bryant?
The farmer °hanged color qUickly. • He
stood nervously rubbing his hands to-
gether.
"I -I met leave Appiedore," he said,
in. a confused, faltering voice; "it -it
would kill me."
Clifford. walked away and stood by the
window that overlooked the farm -yard.
He east Ruth comeein by the side gate from
the fields. In his hopelessness of getting,
the farmer to take a real view of his posi-
tion he felt tempted to appeal to his
daughter. '
"There is Miss Bryant," he said. "She
knows, I fancy, that you are in trouble?"
"Yes, she knbws, but what good oan she
do?" he said irritably, "She proposed to
send away a servant, but I said I could not
let her do housework-. What do you say?"
There was a strange longing in Bryant's
eyes. He seemed to wish for something he
dared not speak about.
Michael Clifford came back from the win-
dow. He felt sure tbat Ruth had seen him,
and yet she had gone on to the back door
without notioiog him.
"If I had the slightest hope that she
would listen to me,"'he said abruptly, "1
should ask Miss Bryant to be my wife. I
shoul4 have asked her months ago."
Bryaht's face beamed with his genial,
winning finite.
"And I have always wished for it, my'
boy." He shook Clifford's hand. heartily.
"Why are you so hopeless? 'Faint heart

not feel at all sure when leaked her mo the;

CHAPTER vim
Ruth had seen Mr. Clifford, but she was
vexed. with him for what she considered his
want of sympathy with her plan for help-
ing her father. She was not in a mood to
be civil to him, and she had therefore come
in by the hcluse.ple.ce, and had gone straight
to her own room. She did not think Mr.
Clifford would epeak of her proposal, be-
cause he had -raid her presence was repos.

over her plan till she had become excited.
The idea of holding back from such
a sacrifice because it might displease Mr.
tevington she considered purely selfis h
and she felt that she had, already muoh se 1
&hues to atone for.
She had begun to wonder vehethet Mr.
Clifford had taken his departure, when
Bridget came to say her .father wanted her
downstairs.
Ruth inquired, and learned that Mr.
Clifford had gone mines. She was puzzled
by the sumnrons ; it was so unusual for
her father to mad for her. A dread of
corning evil suede her nervous as she wen
downstairs.

Ruth set squeezing her fingers togethe
She saw that they must leave Appledor
and elle longed to propose that her fathe
should. at once give up what evidently w
no longer his ; but her urgency kept he
silent. She was so afraid of seeming undut

must comfort him to know thab her futur
was secured. Mr. Beving‘ton's last lette
had assured her that he was as devoted a.
ever, and that he only waited for her sum
mons to meet her in the valley.
Her father rose from his chair. He went
up to the high mantel -shelf and aimlessly
fingered sotne china cups thab stood there
He begao to speak without turning round.
"One thing you seem to forget. If you
were to eo that sort of thing you would. oat
yourself off from any chance of a suitable
• marriage,"
A sudden flush spread over Ruth's face.
She was thankful that her father still stood
facing the _mantel -shelf.
"1 de net wish to marry." -
He looked round quickly. Her tone
sounded forced. He noticed her flushed
face, and he thought it promised well for
Michael Clifford.
"Another thing," he said gravely, but
Ruth saw that he had left off frowning, "if
anything were to happen to me -d am not
long-lived, remember -think how I should
feel if I died in debt and loft you behind
unprovided for I"
"Please, father dear, do not trouble
about me !" she said affectionately. "1
have had a good, sound education, and I
am strong and healthy; no one need. trouble
about; me. • And besidea, father, I donot
see why you need talk in this desponding
way. I believe Mr. Clifford's visit has up-
set you. You must come into the garden
with me after dinner, and see how full of
premise the fruit trees are ; I nevee saw
them so forward. The ' Louise Bonne' will
be a sight of blossom."
He shook hiti head.
"You are wrong about Clifford. He does
nee good, not harm, child. I do not know
what I should do without him. Why don't
you come down when he is here, eh,
Ruth ?"
"I had seen him to -day as I came back
from Little Marshfield," she said simply.
"Ah 1 I remember: so he said. He
will call in again before he goes back to
Purley, and leave word. whether he has
found a purohaser for the little bull. Will
you not see him then, Ruth It would
please him so rauch !"
Ruth felt startled. Her father seemed
to be asking her to gee Mr. Clifford as a
personal feta to himself.
"Fes, of °puree, if you wish it; but I
really do not think it gives any, special
pleasure to Mr. Clifford to see me. '
He fanoied this was pique.
"1 thotight as much," he said, smiling
in his old genial way. "The foolish fel-
low has been so afraid of vexing you that he
has overshob the Mark. Why, child, he
loves you dearly -I know ie."
Ruth did not flush now; she looked very
ale indeed.
"How do you know it?" she said abropt-
ly " or do you know He? Perhaps you have
only fanoied it."
Her eagerness for his answer puzzled
him. Instead. of teasing her, as he wished,
he answered her directly.
" I had my newe from headquarters. I
guessed it long ago, but he told me so him-
self just now."
Ruth hung her had. She felt that her
answer would pain her father perhaps as
much as it wodld pain Mr. Clifford, for she
did not believe he loved leer so very much ;
besides, she thonght he must have gnessen
at her intimacy with Mr. Bevington, or
why should he just at that time have left
off coming to Appledore?

One of. the Queer elaiarieie Positions in
the mouse or Commons.
Reverting to the dubies of v. whip and
• patronage secretary,it is an astonishing faot
that gentlemen of birth and social position
can be found to fill the post. The junior
whips' duties are not only onerous, but irk-
some, according to the Cardiff Mail. They
sit or stand in the outer lobby of the house
from 8:80 to 12:30, at night and they ask
eery metnber who passes where he is going,
Whether he is paired, and when ho will be
back. If he is nob paired they have eieher
ee find a pair for him or to prevent hire
from passing out by colleting or threats, the
former for preference, When their parby is
in thesse gentlemen have to abencl to their
offiee from 12 to 3, Their boas of duty are
therefore from 11 eon, to 12 p.m., ot
thirteen hours, with intervals for luneh and
dinner,and this they do for g.1,000 tt. yeer.
Wiletttheir potty is out, they do it, mines
their offibe Work, foe nothing.
• In addition to keeping an eye on hie
niers, the chief whip, who has s82,000 a,
year, dabs with the members op their more

• Mr, Ross moved that the Efouse ratify the
order.in.Counoil providing that the follow.
ing sums be paid out of the permanent fund
of the University of Toronto for the below
mentioned purposessramely; (1) Equipment
of chemical laboratory, twenty thousand
dollars ($20,000) ; (2) completion of gymna-
sium building, eight thousand dollars ($8,-
000) ; (3) glass and iron cases for museum,
twelve thousand dollars ($12,000).
After a brief discussion, the motion was
allowed to stand to allow of some addition-
al information being laid before the lions's:,
nn the matter,
BILLS AnvAsCEL.
Mr. Hardy'rs bill relating to mines and
mining lands and Mr. (Snbson's bill to amend
the Registry Aot passed through their
committee steges, and were reported, with
slight amendments.
After recess the Howie went into Corn-
mittee of Supply.
Mr. Gibson opened the debate on the
estimatee for pnblic institutions mainten-
ance. He said that in deference to the
criticism of hon. gentlemen last year, the
estimates for the current year showed all
allowances for rent, and what particular
officers would receive such allowances.
Mr. Meredith asked why the Toronto
Asylum for the Insane, with 710 patients,
was to receive $99,473, and the London
Asylum, with 1,008 patients, would, reoeive
only $129,354. • .
Mr. Gibson replied that the yearly
amount collected for the maintenance of
patients at the Toronto Asylum was three
times as large as that collected by the Lan-
doll. institution.
Kr. Meredith called attention to the
enormous inorease in the cost of mainten-
ance of asylums, which this year would
amonnt to $800,000. He thought that the
time had come when in the interests of the
country a thorough examination of the
question should be made with a viely to
lessen the enormous expenditure. He asked
whether the Government had not departed
from the original plea with regard to these
institutions, which was that the relatives
of inmates should contributenf not in whole,
at least to some extent, to the cost of main-
tenance.
Mr. Gibson made a somewhat lengthy
explanatien of the policy of the Govern-
ment in connecbion with these instibutions.
He agreed that the amount of this grant
was becoming very large. He, for his
part, -would be glad to see some system
adopted which would throw a portion of
the cost on the munioipalities. The in-
novation „would, however, be a serious one,
and the Government were not prepared to
announce any departure in their policy at
present, but would claim that their admin-
istration of this branch of the Government
had been economical and efficient. The
condition of the institutions themselves,
and a oomparieon of the cost of mainten-
ances, with that prevailing in other prov-
inces, were evidenoe of this,
Mr. Marter oharged the Government
with extravagance in the purchasing of
supplies. From 10 to 25 per cent. might
be saved by the exercise of care in this
matter'and by looking after cash discounts,
as any business firm wbuld not fail to do.
Mr. Harcourt accused the non. member
of dealing in generalities. He denied that
there were any means of economy that were
not baken advantage of in the management
of the institutions.
Mrs- Meredith spoke in support of the
hon. member for Muskoka.
The Language of Ants.
It has long been believed that ants have
means of communicating' with each other,
and Lubbock and Landois gathered from
their researches on the subject that the
insects do so by -means of sounds too high
in pitch to affect the human ear. _ Janet,a
Prenclenaturalist, (Annales Entomologiquee
de France,LX11.),has recently shown that
certain ants make stridulating noises analo-
gous to those of crickets, producecfprobably
by the rubbing together of some of the
many rugose or rough surfaces to be found
on their bodies. These noises, too slight'
toebe heard when made by only one insect,
may be detected by imprisoning a mass of
anti between two ring
of glass in a space
surrounded by a mug of putty, ,; On holding
this to the ear, one may hear, by listening
attentively, a gentle murmur likened by
M. Janet to that made by a liquid boiling
slightly in a closed vessel, varied now and
then by distinet stridulating sounds.
These sounds are hea;rd only when the ants
are disturbed.
