The weather suddenly ()hanged ; the gray wering sky had es eudelexily lifted. A r-ofe blue, powdered here and there with my white vapor that imemed to preemie at, had taken the place of thoee heavy, ooding clouds. As 'Ruth, stood at thee to waiting for her father, she had to ade her eyes from the glare of the sun- ine ; it was so brilliant. Ruth felt very strange. She had not me to herself since she parted from Mr. evington ; and just as the body faints hen ,some an Men ithock Arrest's the course f the blood and jars the nerves so in like anner the mind, when over -tried, will inetitress wander from the guidance to hich it hes been accustomed to submit self and its powers, Ruth was at war ith herself and with everyone. Faith and ope were alike wreeked, and love roamed her a mere mooking mask, hiding base tentions, Feeling was dee.d in her, exe ept the one feeling of dread—a dread of erself and of what she raight be tempted o d�; and with this dread was an alreoet erce longing for proteetion. . Ruth's life had been so quiet and retired at she had lived in ignorance, as go many f her sisters do, of the strength of her own elings ; till tbis sudden wrench had roused them into active struggle she hard - knew she had them. For the time she had become eaelous. he sent off a messenger to her father, ask. g him to mime back to her and telling eim e could not any longer do without him. he now atood watching the carriage that 'aa bringing him. home as it drove slowly own the lie. She had not made any plan to what shn should say to her father. er mend was Still too much disordered for herene thought, She tould net, but she d not m even try to think ; and it may be at unconsciously she longed for her thee's presence as much for the abstrac- n from self, *bleb. the very sight of him ust bring, as from a real belief in his wer to protect her. Philip Bryant, looked fondly at his daugh- r as he was helped oub of the carriage d then into the sitting -room. He was denten stronger, and Mrs. Voee asserted she helped him that "he did not lean so avy by one-half as he did afore he left." Bryeaat smiled, but he did not talk to Ily ; he seemed anxious to find himself one with his daughter. "Well, my lass," he said when Sally at st departed, "you've had a dull time, m thinking. It would put new life in on child, if you could have such a Via as 've had. Miss Clifford has been as kind nd as pleesant so if I were an old friend, eking such dare of me as would make you mile ; it did me sometimes. As to Michael when my time eomee to know that my Via is We with each a men es Miehael afford.'" "Did, you say that to Mr, Clifford an Well as to hie eister 8" He thought she spoke defiantly, and his voicte was sad AS he anewered, No, my girl, I had not foigotteo a hint yon gave roe about some one else." He gave her a yearning, wistful look, aa if to entreet her to spare himthis diaappointment of his hopes. "Eh, Ruth '1" he said tenderly. The girl rose abruptly and walked up and down the ronin; her face was wrung wieh poem At lest" with bent head and finshed eheeks, she stood still in front of her father., " Would you be really homey, dear, if I were to,say 1 vrill marry Mr. Clifford ?" His eyes glistened as he looked at her; thera were tears itt them as anewered "More happy than words ce.n tell, my darling; because I should feel your own happiness was oaf°. I should not have a sorrow or a cue. But I fancied there was some one in the way." She moved her head restlessly, as if his answer waa beside the queation ; and then she said slowly end without raising her eyes: "You are roietaken ; but look here, father 1 I cannot force myself. I have no love to give Mr. C/lifford ; and you must tell him ao. If he likes to take me for his wife on those terms I will marry him. But understand, father"—she spoke so harshly that be stared at her in some alarm, and the intense gaze he met was not reassuring --" understand," she repeated, "you and Mr. Clifford moat arrange it between you ; I can't have any love scene, Or nonsense of that leind," Philip Bryant's sudden joy was crushed, and yet he did not venture to remonatrate, lest she should withdraw this very unex- pected consent to his wishes. "Time will alter her," he thought • " will do the beat 1 can, he said."Won't you kiss me, darling, and let me thank you for your goodness ?' She bent down and let him kiss her ; but she was glad to make an excuse to leave him. "You are tired," she said, "and you need rest. I will not let you talk any more till you have had a nap." She arranged his cushions and told Sally not to disturb him, and then went into the garden and began to tie the crocus grass together with a BOr t of fervish haste, as if her days were numbered. She soon gave up her employment, however; her head ached and her mouth was parched. She wanted a refuge from thought, and this raonotoua use of her fingers encouraged its presence. She went resolutely back to the house. It seeined to her that a list ought to be made of the furniture and of her father's possessionsbefore he leftAppledore. She could not bring her mind in its confused tate to grasp anything clearly, but she clung to any occupation that -presented itself, as a shelter from the consideration of the promiee she had. made. She did not hope to free herself from this marriage; noth- ing mattered now, she thought; all that had made life dear had. auddenly died. Ruth felt as, if her youth had died with the lose of her faith in her lover; it could not rnatter now what became of her. well, there Pet best not speak about dos, lest I should xnake a baby of =pelf." "I am so glad, dear 1"—she bent over im and kissed him ; she felt such comfort a his presence—"ro very glad 1" she niter- ured, as she placed herself beside hint. "Yes, I wish you could have been there oo. I bad no notion that Michael was so ooked up to and respected. Why, only esterday there was my Lord leoscobel rode n to see Mtn, a matter of ten miles or so; ad I saw that he shook hands both with blichael and with MissClifford as if he bought much of them. And not only that here's the archdeacon and all the people bout take notice of them. It's a wonder nd a pleasure,, too, to see how he's looked p to. "Iain very glad," Ruth said. Her fath- r's news seemed tojuatify the strong trust he had always bed in Michael Clifford. 'His sister must be very proud of him," he added. Philip Bryant sighed end looked wistfully t his daughter. "Yes, poor soul!" He sighed again. "I m sorry for Miss Clifford. Not for her valid state; she makes a joke of that; she as such lively spirits. We had many a water laugh together, I can tell you. She as a rare way of eeeing through her eighbots, though no one ironed suspect it ofher." "Why do you say you are sorry for here" nth aeked. • "Well my girl you have something te do with that, I fancy. Miss Clifford loves her brother' dearly. There's another brother n Scotland, it seems ; but he's nothing to er, she says, compared with this one; and et the poor soul told me she could no make Michael happy." Ruth listened with a. heart -tick conscious- ness of the meaning of his words. it seem ed to her that Fate stood behind her, driv- ing her en with an iron rod to an inevitable future. MiSS Clifford seems to have got very confidential with you.

"Is Miss Bryant at home?" Clifford eeked. • "Well, no; she has gone to Little Marsh- field. Rather a het walk to -day P' 4 'There is a* storm in the air," Clifford said. "1 foamy we ales going to have quite a lot of rain." Another pause, he which Bryant's per- nteeity so greenly increased that he felt tongue-tied. At last he said: "It appears that your sister is willing" that—thet—I mean in regard to your wish- es about Ruth." "She told you so, did she ?" His eyes sparkled with joyful surprise, and Bryant at once: uuderstood that her brother was not entieely in Dorothy's oonfidence. He cleared tits throat with a feeling of relief. • "Yes Miss Clifford was very frank. I fancy she could not bear to give you up, bub she said she wanted you to be. happy your.own•way, and she hoped you would marry Ruth, because she knew you wished "My wish is only half the battle," said Clifford slowly. "My good fellow, you do not expect a woman to fall into yOur mouth before you have even told her you care abeut her— much less asked her to have you?" Love is blind but it is also very sensitive; and something in the farmer's tone seirred Michael. "What do you Mean ?" he said abruptly; but Bryant saw how his eyes sparkled. "Gan you give me a hope that your daugh. ter will listen to me? Are you sure that she does not care for some one else? " "1 am, sure of that, my boy; I have found that out for you. Last time I spoke to you I was .still in doubt myselt ; now I am clear about it, If you ask her to be your wife, I am pretty sure she will have you." "1 shooed probably meet her if I walked , on to Little Marshfield?" he said eagerly. "I am not aura •, she might go round by Watling Street ; she visits a poor woman who lives, in the muddy lane they call by that grand name. If she does come that way; ten to one you Would miss her. I say, old chapl why do you try to see her? Why don't you write? • If you take my advice yon'll write. Ruth is so uncommon shy, you, know." Micheal Clifford sat thinking. "I could certainly write," he said, after a pause, "though I should prefer to speak. If I come to-morreev, I might find her at home, No, by the by, I cannot come to- morrow." Bryant put his hand on his friend's shout - der, looking very much in earnest. "Look Yon here; Michael !don't let there be any delay. I have done my best for you, and I say strike while the iron is hob; end. I have another reason : I want the matter settled. I want to feel that Buell is safe in your care ; and then, old fellow, I shall be ready when my summons comes. It won't be long, firsn you may melee sure of that." "ton have been very frank with me, old friend," he said, "and I Will be equally frank. You are over-anxious shout your- self. I hope and believe we shall keep you with ua many years. Well, then, I should like to be len hurried ; I ohould like to try and win my preeMus girl's love little , by little. I know how undeserving Iani of it" Bryant looked very grave; he had seen that this was the very thing from which Ruth shrank, and yet if he said so he might enlist Miohael's pride againstthe suddenness of the engagement. Heshook his head as be answered,. - -"I'm sorry, but it can't be. I couldn't stand it, man. .1 want it settled off -hand. Do you supPose I could have lived all these years with such a daughter as .. Ruth has been without knowing beforehand what the wrench will be of giving her up, even to such a husband as I know you will make her? No, Michael ;'either wait till I'm out of the way, or else take her with as little delay as possible. If I had my way I should wish the wedding fixed in a fort- night or so." Clifford stared at him. The man's eager. nese and the flush of excitement on -hits drawn face ahowed how deeply he was in earnest "That must rest with Miss Bryant," Clifford said. "Whatever you: and she may determine will &Deady me, He paused. and' a genial, happy smile overspread his face. "I can't believe in it yet; it seems too good, much too good to he true." And as he rode back to Purley Michael's heart seemed to brim over with his thank- fulne se for the great joy that had so une expectedly ecene into his life. It was not yet quite sure—he knew that—that this ardent, long -cherished wish would be gratified; but he could not think so hardly of Philip Bryant as to believe that: he would mislead him about Ruth's consent. He was almose sure thatshe did not yet love hini; but then, he argued, A mocleet girl was not likely to keen, her own mind about a man who had hidden his feelings as he'd tried to hide his. She might, perhaps, have guessed his attachment; but Michae was old-fashioned enough to . be high-toned about women, and he thought it was only due to Ruththat she should have a fit amount of courting before she could be ex- peeted to say she cared for him, Bryant's wish for a hurried marriage had seemed qtate out of keeping with the revereen worshipping oharaoter of the younger man's love. Before he reached Purley, Michael began to think differently; he resolved that no time should be lost It seemed tohim that still now Ruth had been out of reach barred away from him by the distance whieh he felt between them So beautiful A Woman, if she only could be seen by other men, would, he thought, attract a crowd of admirers; and her refinement would enable her to adapt herself to any statiou. Why, then, should he run the risk of hieing he? Why shoold he hesitate when such a heaven of happiness 'Wee put within his reach? "It is a mere question of vanity thee makes me hesitate," he said to himself, as he rea.ched. the end, of the long, (ley high reed and San' the tall towee of Parley Churoh on the top of the height before him "I want to be married for myself, and I am efraid thee deer eitl is only willing to take ,nie for her father's sake, awl wants to $!..Ve hint tletine of etiled teapot:tag her, N ell I tweet take my cnettoe.

It was a. relief to Ruth when Mrs. Voce told her that she had sent for her daughter- in-law and for little George to occupy her empty cottage and keep it aired in her absence. -Lucy -would "take it very kind," he said, if Miss Bryant would go and see her. Ruth felt sure that Michael Clifford would come over to inquire for her father, and she determined that she would not be at home. Her father was sitting in the porch sraok- ing when she went out. am going to zee poor Lucy Voe," she said, as she passed him. Bryant looked uneasy. "11 Michael Clifford comes over, what am 1 to say to him?" He heaitteterl as he spoke. "It would be much better for you to meet, / could let him know that you will listen to him." "I will keep my promise, father; you need not fear that I shall go back from it; but I ask you to spare rrie any kind of a scene with Mr. Clifford." "Suppose he says he must see you?" Bryant's voice sounded fretful. Ruth looked at him frankly and tried to smile. "You see, lather," she said, "1 am not quite what you think me ; I am not a saint, only a very imperfect woman, and I must have my own way on some points. If you insist on my seeing Michael Clifford I shall probably affront lum by my coldness. If he writes to me I will answer his letter ; that seems the easiest way ; ordyit must be clearly understood that I do not love him, and that he is not at pre- sent to expect me to do so." Philip Bryant/ sighed at the hard task that lay before him. He thought, as he watched the girl's firm, graceful walk up the lane how much pleasanter and easier this matter would be if she would look at at it from his point of view. She evidently did not care for any one else, as he feared she did or ahe could not 'e6 quick- ly have promised to marry Clifford. It would be in every way so much better if she would stay &theme thisafternoon and let things take their natural course,and give the poor (kap a chance of winning her. The after- noon grew warmer, and Sally Voce came out and suggested that Mr. Ileyant go in- doors. He was atill unable to use his foot, but he could move easily new with the help of a crutch and Sally's strong arm; and the had placed him comfortable in leis easy - chair some timebefore Mr. Clifford's arrival, Sally had been on the lookout for him.. Both father and daughter had been very silent, and the shrewd old woman had felt that something unusual had been diecuesed between them. At. first she fended that this related to Mr Beviegton's visits, but when she overheard Ruth's parting words ariehe left her father, Sally's long -cherished hope abottt Mr. Clifford took fresh life. She became excited as AO saw him tying up his horse at the gate, and welcomed him with a beaming emile as she threvit the door open to its widest extent ant watered hirn into the sitting -room. It woald be difficult to say which of the men felt the more nervona as they elidek hands.- Philip Bryant's keen perception taught hint that Clifford would be utteeillieg to &wept a wife on the terms which Beth had proposed, and rt he dared not say more than she authorized him to gay. Ile began by aeltifin after' Mho Clifford. Michael smiled ea he aesweteci ; this question had smoothed the foe whet he wetted to riay, 4Werothy is all right, thank you. You were kied enottgit to my you should be glad to see her at Appledore, and I wee to tell "Well, no; she was not very friendly at first She was very polite, but stiff, I fancied ; and I felt shy. I thought she was perhaps angry that her brother had done mo mime for me; and then, whether Miehael saw ie and spoke to her, or what happeteed I cannot say ; but she tittered all at once, and we had long talks together." He paused and seemed to hesitate, but Bath sat silent. It seemed to her time she knew wheb his next words would be, and that she had better hear them. Her father looked away from her when he spoke again. "Miss Clifford told Nhe that bet beother cannot be happy without you, Ruth. Slit teed she had hoped he Weida get over hie love, and she gave that as a yeasonwhy she bat avoided making your toquaiutance; but she has now come to a decision. If you will liaten to Michael she will go to Scot- land and. live With her brother David, whit lis,a lose his wife, it appeate, and hail two motherless girls." There Was a pease; then she said: "And what olid you say, father t" Her voiee sounded so weary that he turn- ed. to leek at her ; she was very pale, and there WM a restleal eXprotaion in her eyea which struck him as unuetel.

They Are Nowl,sgzin yaIlOptilriera of the RAS - 4 The barriers reared by the Maoris of New Zeeland against the outside worldarewho hoat last proetrated. It will surprise j lenoYe their strange story to hear the news that Mr. Seddon, the Premier of New Zea- land brought to Welliugton a month ago. He had been travelling through the King Country, which for many years was forbid- den gronnd to.all white men. Chief after chief told him that hereafter there would be ,for them only the law ot the Qoeen of England. Tawhiacr; the Maori King, alao wrote, asking for an interview and saying that he wished to follow the example of the chiefs; BO the King and the most important men in the big Maori district have been invited to visit Wellington during the next session of Parliament. Forty years ago, when the Maoris drew the Auleati, or sacred boundary line, the English in New Zealand were not desirous to , incur the opposition of over fifty thou sand natives. Exclusive possession of their lande had -already been promised to the tribes; and the Europeans made no protestwhen the natives drew their bound - try line around a large part of this eserve named :ib the King Country, declared that the white men should make no roada within the area, and forbade them, under penalty of death, to enter the land. Until quite rectently the Maoris conducted themselves as they pleased in the King Country. Eleven years ago this large distriet ill the North Island had not been surveyed, its remarkable geographical and geological features were almost unknown, and the maps of it were merely outlines. Then the Englishman Kerry -Nicholls was bold enough to enter the country in spite of the prohibition of the Maori. 'King. After a joorney of 600 edge, during whioh he col- lected. a great deal of fresh informeneon, he returnedunscathed. After this the *Gov. ernmene secured permission from tne native chiefs to survey a route for a railroad through. the King Country. Maoris are widely scattered over the North Island; but for many years thousands of the natives have confined themselves to the region from which they have wholly excluded the white race that has pressed closely around the forlAdden, area. It is not until this late day, -when. the white population of New Zealand numbers about 700,000 souls, when it is no longer, possible for any of the native tribes to maintain the role of semi -independence, that the proud Maoris have at last bowed to their inevit. able fate of complete subjection to the will of the white couquerors. We are inclined to think thab the latest phase of the Maori questionwill only hasten their extermination The finest specimens of the Polynesian etre, they, like all their kinsmen scattered over the Pacific-, are hastening on the way toward total extinction. All of them, out- side the KingCountry, are nominally con- verts to Chirstianity, and have adopted many of the ways of Caucasian civilization. Those who have been enost influenced by contact with the white newcomers have most rapidly diminished in numbers; and now the last stronghold of the old Maoris will before long be permeated by the influ- ences of civilization, which seem to have upon the henelese Polynesians the effect of a poisonoue atmosphere in which they can- not live. Australian Beef in Austria. The first shipment of Australian frozen beef ever received in the Vienna market re- cently arrived in good condition. Inas- much as some purohasera, after cooking the beef, complained that its frozen state had robbed it of the fine flavor that fresh meat has and. Masi -null as it is difficult to pre- serve, it is doubtf ul if the price of Australien beef will euetain itself; but still another shipment is under way. This shipment took somewhat over one month to reach its destination. It was shipped via London, where it Was repacked and sent in bagging by water to Harabueg and thence by rent° Vienna. The consignment which arrived was sold et about 12e cents per pound. If Australian meat eau be sold there for a profit why should not Canadians be still more able to open there a market for their prodtict? ' ..
