APPLEDORE FARM,*
OHAPT1IR XVIII. (CeeariNliEl?).
Se wrote his letter ; he pleaded hie love
as he felt ib, strongly and simply. He
told Ruth how long and hopeless it had
been. He did not epoak of her father's
encouragement ; he only said that lie could
no longer bear this uncertainty, and that
unless she could give hint a hope of wiuning.
her he must avoid the chance of seeing her.
In reference to the haste enjoined by Mr.
Bryant, he said that if she was good enough
to listen to him he thought, for her father's
sake, that a long engagement should be
avoided, as Mr, Byrant was anxious to
avoid delay.
He went out and posted his letter ; but
he could not at once go in and tell Dorothy.
He felt strangely excited, and he walked
rapidly away from the broad street and
then across the market -place, till he reach-
ed the massive grey walls that surround
Purley C;tstle.
He did not go in through the frowning,
low-browed entrance gate, but, turning to
the left, took his way outside the walls,
and then through a couple of arched open-
ings, till he paused on top of the wooded
hill from whioh the castle rises, There
was a wooden bench here, just out-
side the dark gray walls of what may
have been in the old days some fair
lady's bower ; and seating himself he rested.
his back against the rough stone -work,
while fax below him, between the trunks of
the stately elms that clothed the hill and
almost hid. the old gray towers from curious
eyes, he could see the lovely river, winding
its way between the slender birches that
bent aoroes it from either side, or foaming
over the weir of the fulling -mill on the
opposite bank.
Was it really true? he asked himself; and
in a few weeks should he be sitting here
with Ruth, his own dear wife, beside him?
It was an almost bewildering joy to look
forward to, and yet he still could not help
wishing that it might be delayed a little.
He pictured to himself the delight of watch-
ing the growth of Ruth's love. He knew
she would be reticent at first ; the very
strength of her character warned him that
she could not be otherwise. It seemed a
robbery to both of them thatthis sweet
wooing -time should be swept out of their
lives. All at once he remembered Apple -
dors and the new tenant with whom
he had been in treaty, and who was
ready to take possession as soon as the Bry-
ants had left the farm. Yes, he must give
up this wished -for sweetness, for Ruth's
sake as well as for her father's ; it would be
best to avoid delay. Michael expected as
a matter of course thate Bryant would
share his daughter's home, and he fancied
that the relief which the marriage would
bring to his friend's anxiety might soften
the pain of leaving the house in which he
had been born and in which all his life had
been spent.
Michael Clifford was always happier
when he could find that the source of his
own satisfaction was not wholly selfish. He
rose up and went home to Dorothy.
He seated himself by her sofa and asked
if she had had any visitors in his absence.
She kept her eyes intently fixed on his
face as she answered :
"No, I have not seen any one ; I have
been thinking—thinking very hard Mich-
ael." Then, with a sharp change of tone,
"How did you find Mr. Bryant, and what
has he been saying to you?"
Her brother started.
" I often say you are a witch, little one,"
he said tenderly ; "you have such a faculty
for guessing one's thoughts. I wonder"—
he bent down and kissed her—"whether
you know how full of gratitude I feel to-
ward you for what you told Mr. Bryant?"
The flush of pleasure that had come with
the sight of her brother suddenly faded,
and left her paler than usual.
" I told Mr. Bryant a good many things,"
she said coldly ; " but I know what you
mean, Michael." She raised herself and
sat upright. Have you come to tell me
you have proposed to Miss Bryant ?"
" Yes, I have written to her ; she was
out while I was at Appledore."
" Ah 1" She looked keenly at him, and
then she put her tiny hand on his arm.
" You poor dear fellow 1 I do hope you
will be happy, but I can't help fearing."
He drew his arm roughly away and rose.
That extraordinary spice, of contradiction
which seems to possess a man at
any mention of the woman he loves
had seized on Clifford. Be stood very erect
in front of his sister, ready to disagree with
her next remark.
"I fancy your fear is quite unnecessary,
Dorothy."
Her eyelashes quivered with the keen
pain she felt. Ruth Bryant had then come
already between them. She could not re•
member that Michael had ever before
spoken to her in such a tone. She was
inclined to keep silence, lest she should
make him still more angry ; and then that
longing to do her duty by speaking out, a
longing to which so many good women yield,
and thereby stir up needless strife over-
came Dorothy's discretion.
"I hope so," she said ; "but think for a
moment what it would bo for you to find
yourself married to a girl who does not
love you."
It was probably the presence of his own
fear, the fear he had thought cast out,
that made Michael feel suddenly beside
himself with anger.
" We had better not discuss this sub-
ject," he said. " I used to think you were
superior to other women, Dorothy, but I
see women are all alike, hard -judging and
prejudiced."
He turned away and left her, without
even a gIancreat her imploring face.
Poor Dorothy hid her eyes in her little
hands,
" Yes, I am all he says, but it is so hard
to hear him say it," she thought, while
tears trickled slowly between her fingers
"and I am a fool besides ; I ought to know
by this time that men are not quite the
same when they are in love."
She sat thinking ; suppose when she saw
Ruth and her brother together the girl's
manner should confirm her fear? What
could she do? She could do nothing to
help Michael, for she knew that his infatua-
tion would increase with every fresh meet-
ing with his fiancee. She clasped her
hands together in a kind of hopeless despair.
She had spoken her brother's love to Mr.
Bryant because she hoped to find out that
Ruth really oared for Michael, but Mr.
Bryant'e uneasy manner, and his silenc0
jjust when he should have epoksn, soon
told this keen observer that he alts as
anxious on this point aa she wale ; and it
seemed impossible to the devoted sister that
any one could know her brother as well as
this girl knew him and yet remaiuinsensible
to him. Dorothy had felt confirmed in
the opinion that Mra. Buchan's story was
true, and that Ruth Bryant had loved her
father's pupil. Ib was quite natural, Mies
Clifford thought, now that everyone knew
of Mr. Bevington's intended marriage, that
Miss Bryaat should be willing to marry the
Ord man who asked her; but oh 1 that it
had been any other man than Michael 1
Surely every one must admit that he de-
served best stlovet that woman
h man
could give him ; and although Dorothy
tried hard not to be prejudiced, sill
could not bring herself to admit that a girl
who met her lover secretly in the Mill Glen
was quite good or even nice. Why had she
hereeif been so weak and foolish as to tell
Mr. Bryant that site wished Michael to
marry his daughter ? Her feelings sudden.
ly changed. "I am growing horrid,"she said,
full of nasty prejudioe; if I stay here I may
perhaps spoil Michael's happiness. I will
leave him in peace; I will write at once and
announce my coming to David ; he will not
spoil me, and he will find me plenty to do.
I have been spoiled by my darling Miohael,
and in return I have wounded him just
where hefeels it most keenly ; bub I will
make it straight with him before I go away."
CHAPTER XIX.
Michael's letter, written so fervently and
snowing how entirely his happiness hung
in doubt till it was favorably answered,
gave Ruth a feeling of nausea. She had
gone up to her room to read it, for she
knew it would contain this declaration,
and now she stood leaning back against
the dark -panelled wall of her bedroom, her
clasped hands pressed on her lips.
"I cannot do it," she said to herself ; ".I
cannot—I ought not to have promised."
She felt too weak and wretched to argue
with herself. Going quickly downstairs
she found Mrs. Voce clamoring for help.
Bird had been making a final clearing of
the raspberry harvest, and had also brought
in a huge basketful of shining red currants.
Sally was spreading the bright, downy
raspberries out on cool -looking, blue-green
cabbage -leaves. Her face almost matched
the color of the fruit ; excitementhad given
it a purple tinge.
"Drat the man I Much as I can do," she
muttered irritably, "to get the sugar
crushed an' the fruit boiled ; betime its
stripped an' ready it will be dinner -hour.
If a man be not a crab, he's safe to be a
meddler."
Ruth went swiftly into the house -
place and took her work -apron out.
of a cupboard . beside the chimney -
piece ; she was soon back in the kitchen,
deftly stripping the glassy scarlet currant
berries from their slender, tender green
stalks into a huge yellow -lined dish which
Sally had meantime placed ready for her.
Possibly Sally's company was a help,
though at the time the girl did no appre-
ciateit ; she would rather have been Ieft in
peace but the running string of talk in
which Mrs. Voce relieved her own mind
and damaged the reputation of her neigh -
bore prevented her young mistress from
dwelling on her trouble. As the heap of
fruit gradually became smaller Sally's tone
sweetened and her face resumed its usual
serenity.
" Thank you, miss," she said graciously,
as Ruth strung the last few bunches. " I
will say o' you, Miss Bryant, what can't
be said of many another—yon doesn't
offer, you does. I shall get that there
jam done first-rate ; no thanks to Bird, all
the same, for not taking me into counsel
beforehand. My word, the men is all on
the same pattern—don't ye find it so, miss?
—fro' little George uppards ; they acts on
their own idees a deal more than's needful,.
so to say." '
"You bane spoiled George, Sally ; it
seems to me he must have been masterful
before he was shorb coated. He's worse
than ever since he's had that -sailor suit I
caw him in last Sunday."
"Don't -he look winsome in it, miss?
But that were no doin' o' mine; no, Mise
Bryant,'twere Mr. Clifford gived it me for
him, just because I chanced to say as you
fancied the little lad, "
• Ruth turned away : she seemed to be
hemmed in by this one subject. Her com-
mon sense, however, had returned ; she had
made a mistake in calculating her mental
strength and she must suffer, but she told
herself she had made this offer to her father
and she was bound to act up to it. Michael
Clifford must have received some encourage.
ment from her father or he would not have
written to her. Well, then, she had no
right to disappoint him and fling his hopes
back in his face.
She went into the sitting -room. She
could not write to accept Clifford as her
husband from her own little desk upstairs
on which she had written such tender let-
ters to Reginald Bevington, and in which
she still kept those he had sent her. It was
the first time since his visit to Appledore
that she had allowed herself to see him, as
it were, full length. Hitherto, at the first
thought of him, she had turned away to
something likely to blot out the pain of that
woful memory; now, with a consciousness•
that this was her last opportunity, that
in future she must put away from her every
thought of that past so exquisitely dear—
although she felt it had never truly -been
which she fondly fancied—she sat leaning
back musing over that first avowal of their
love under the, branching apple -trees, and
then the happy meeting in the glen. Her
lover had meant truly by her in those early
days. Oh, yes 1 she was sure of it. She
was yielding to her father's influence, and
consenting to marry a man whdm it seemed
to her she could not love; why, then blame
Reginald Bevington for having obeyed his
parents' wishes with regard to Miss Stret•
ton? She forgave him the wrong he seemed
to have meditated against herself, partly
from her generous nature, partly because
she could not be certain that he would
so have deceived her, and more than either
of these two reasons, because she felt that
she was going to do him such a wrong, in
bestowing herself on another man.
Suddenly the window was darkened in
front of which the writing table stood, and
she saw her father looking in at her. Ho
smiled at her and passed .on, his orutohes
orunohing into the gravel with so raepieg a
sound that Ruth felt a little ashamed of her
self-absorption, for she had nob noticed his
approach. She took up her pen, and after
a few minutes' thought she bean her answer.
It was lamentably stiff and formal, but the
girl felb mire that Michael Clifford under-
stood her well enongh to know that she dtd
nob love him, She sighed next minute.
"Poor fellow 1" she thought, "perhaps he
does not know as much about it as I do."
She left her letter in the hall,so that her
father might see she had written; she could
nob bring herself to tell him in so many
words that she had a000pted Michael Clif-
ford's offer, Bryant" seemed greatly de•
pressed when he same in, and when he was
alone with his daughter after supper the
evening panned almost in silence. Ruth
rose at the usual time to summon Sally to
help her father to his room,:but he stopped
her.
"Stay, child," he said, " I have a word
to say before we part to -night.' 1 have first.
to say thank you for being as kind and
sensible as I think you have been, and next,
--he saw she shrank from him, and:he
wanted to fix her attention—" I—I wanted
to give youthis." Ile put an envelope in
r
her hand. Not worth thanks, ohild," he
said huskily, "only a fraction of the awn
that should have been yours; it's thirty
pounds for clothes."
She looked at him and then at the enve-
lope ; she could not understand how he
came to possess such a sum, still less oould
he understand whygave itto her,
a dor ds g h v ,
Before she oould utter the question on
her lips, her father said eagerly,
" You need not think the money came to
me from -from any one ; it is my own. I
put it away a long time ago for my funeral
expenses,"
Ruth burst into sudden tears ; she so
seldom cried that her Lather was greatly
distressed ; he patted her shoulder.
" What is it ? IN hat is it, dear heart ?"
he said tenderly ; then seeing that she was
drying her eyes and trying to hide her agita-
tion, he went on, " I want you to go so far
as Purley to -morrow, my lass, and get your
shopping over ; I want you to spare me all
the delay you can."
"I cannot go to Purley," she said cheer-
fully ; I will get what I want, but I would
rather go to some place where I don't know
people."
There's Newbridge," he said, " if you
don't mind going so far. You must take
either Sally or Faith with you to help carry
parcels and so on," The easily pleased
man looked radiant with the idea that he
had planned a pleasant excursion for his
darling, "You'd best go from Church -
Marshfield," he went on when he had said
good -night, "then you can leave your heavy
parcels at the station and get them sent
out."
The weather was so bright next morning
that Ruth started -on her,eu.ney -soon -after
breaktabt. She took Faith with her instead
of Sally Voce ; she felt that she was not in
a humor for the old woman's comments on
her purchases and the inquirres to which
they would give rise.
They left the station at the foot of the
bustling, busy High Street of Newbridge,
and came up the steep hill past the ancient
grammar sohool, now turned lute the town
library, past the flourishing hotel with its
old sign -board projected over the entrance,
while nearly oppeaite,though stauding back
and partly hidden by a square of its own,
was the venerable parish church. Along
the street were plenty of thriving shops,
many of them with quaint sign -boards, and
and above these the ancient gabled and
half-timbered houses ; these became more
numerous as the street seemingly tired of
its ascent, began to go down hill as steeply
as it had mounted, to the modern market.
house below. A quaint street of old houses
crossed it here and led down on the• right
to the river. •
It was Wednesday, market -day at New-
bridge, and Ruth saw how longingly Faith
lcoked at the people as they disappeared
into the market house.
"We will go through," she said, and
Faith looked radiant.
Ruth could not have said why she went
in, for she had little time to spare, and the
crowd within made passage slow. On one
side were ranged long lines of fruit and
vegetable stalls, behind which the sellers
were chiefly women ; on the other side
was a great and varied display of
poultry and eggs, butter of varied
yellows. set off by cool green leaves ;
while here and there was the pale primrose
of a cream cheese, displayed for a while as
a bait to a passerby, and then again care-
fully shrouded in muslin. Ruth smiled and
sighed as ehelooked at the rosy, eager faces
of the market women, some of them evident.
ly farmer's wives, who had come in to sell
their own farm products.
"1 might have earned something for
father if I had been brought up to do this,"
the girl thought; "we only get half price
from the shop at Purley, compared with
what these people are asking; and we might
sell far more than we do."
She sighed again; it seemed to her that
she had been brought up above her station
in life, and she was in fact very useless
compared with the girls, young women,
and matrons, some of whom, nicely and
neaJy dressed, sat behind their chickens
and their dairy produce.
It was too late now, she told herself, for
regrets ; that part of her Iife was ended
she should even have to give up her favor-
ite employment of gardening. She knew,
from what Mr. Clifford had told her, that
there was scarcely any garden to the house
in Broad Street.
"Come along," she said briskly to Faith;
and she turned to leave the market -house
by the way they had come. Faith wonder-
ed why Miss Bryant suddenly stopped;l
looking up at her mistress the maidsaw that
she bad turned pale ; Faith • thought Miss
Bryant was going to faint, her paleness was
so ghastly. She took firm hold of Ruth's
arm and led her back to the lower end of
the market, which was fur less crowded
than the entrance had been. Tnere was a
drinking fountain, and the girl asked if
Miss Bryant would not like a drink of cold
water. "Twos the heat what made you
faint -like, miss,"she said.
"1'm all right, thank you," Ruth said
slowly; and she went up a street that led
to the shop she had been making for when
she turned aside into the market -place.
She had walked briskly up. the hill from
the station, but now, though she was on
the level, her feet seemed leaden; she felt
as if she had been stunned by a blow, and
truly she had received a blow that for the
time had stupefied her.
She had seen Reginald Bevington stand-
ing just within the market; he was with a
tall, fair lady, his mother, Ruth believed.
The sad, gloomy expression on his face had
gone to the girl's heart; but for Faith's
prompt action she might possibly have
stood still till the pair came up to her, for
they were moving in her direction.

Business Situation Shows a Slight
Improvement.
The imports of grain into the United
Kingdom were unusually heavy last week.
There is at leset one industry in Canada.
whioh is not over done and that Is carpet
manufacturing. During the quarter ended
March 31, our 5,000,000 of people imported
more carpets from Great Britain by £10,-
000 worth than the 100,000,000 inhabiting
Germany, Holland, Belgium, Prauoe, Spain
and the United States. Our total imports
a i
of carpets for that quarter, aocor l ng to
the Textile Mercury, aggregated £S9,000.
Those countries use carpets, though cer-
tainly not more in proportion to populatiou
than we do, but they manufacture for
themselves.
The Nicaragua Canal Construction Com -
pony, which has been in the hands of a re -
other for a short time, has been sold by
him to Mr. John R. Bartlett, chairman of
the Reorganization Committee, for $297,-
525, This represents all liabilities of the
old company, and therefore gives the Com-
mittee full legal title, and possession of the
property and eonceesions. The plans which
will be followed by the Committee have not
been made known, but it is stated by its
chairman that arrangements are being made
by which the Company will be placed on a
secure financial footing and work pushed
forward, even though the bill now pending
in Congress does not pass.
Just at the time when the Legislature of
Prince Edward Island has put a tax on
commercial travellers, a United States
court has decided that such tax is uncon.
stitutional in the Republic. It is not im
probable that this deoision would serve for
Canada as well as for the United States. In
both countries the regulation of commerce
is vested in the federal goveruments, Is
this tax an interference with commerce ?.
In the Republic it is held so to be ; and if
this be true then why not in Canada ? The
legal question is worth considering, and it,
might be reasonable to test the constitu-
tionality of this Prince Edward Island law.
The general business situation shows a
slight improvement, but much of it is mere-
ly spasmodic. There has been, however, a
very fair increase in the volume and distri-
bution of merchandise reported at a number
of the leading distributing centres. Labor
is more fully employed and the very fine
weather has stimulated business, especially
in summer
goods, which have beenphenom-
enally backward in movement. Neither
the exports and imports, the bank clearings,
nor freight receipts show much expansion,•
but quantities are larger than values indi-
cate. Prices, compared with last year, are
from 5 to 10 per cent. lower and sometimes
more. The value of wheat is always a
most important factor in general commerce.
The late phenomenal depression is, in the
firat place, attributed to over production,
then followed the general panic and ianau•
cial disturbances practioally all over the
world, during which many lost fortunes,
and with them their nerve . and pluck, so
that a demoralization was inevitable. • The
situation was still further aggravated by
the appreciation of gold in the Argentine
Republic to a premium of 300 per cent. It
was absolutely necessary for them to get
English gold, and as their credit was ex-
hausted they sold their wheat so as
to realize only 60e. a bushel in Liver-
pool. The question now is how long will
these conditions last. The visible supply
is being gradually reduced, and it is gener-
ally believed that on account of the hard
times the invisible supply of wheat is very
much less than for many years as farmers
were forced to market their grain. Aocord-
ing to intrinsic worth wheat is at present
the cheapest of grains. It is scarcely dearer
by the pound than coarser grains, and this
will undoubtedly influence the consump-
tion, and tend to reduce the surplus more
rapidly as the prices stay below the relative
value. Coupled with this the fact of the
wheat area on this continent being less
should be considered. The United. States
Government report shows that their next
year's crop may not exceed 400,000,001)
bushels, in which case they will not have a
great deal for export. Yet in the fact of
these conditions the bear element is strong
and good authorities predict a still further
reduction of wheat ,considering 55c. as the.
probable minimum price. The movement
in Canadian stocks has been more active,
and there are many good reasons for tak-
ing a cheerful position regarding the
future of the stock markets. Con&
duce, though short lived as yet, seems
to be reviving._
