DAVIS & LAW.RENCE CO., LTD. Proprietors, MONTREAL. frigkia' MY DARLING'S RANSOM, C`HAPTEB Neat day Mr. Starner said to his wife, "1 have quite made upmy mind about young Aubyn. He'll never do any good, and the sooner there are a hun- dred miles between Louisa and him the better.' Mrs. Stainer did not say anything. She only sighed. It must be done, and it must be done at once, Mary,' said Mr. Starner firmly. ' But how is it to be done, Henry? Hoe- can we put a hundred miles be- tween them until he leaves England? I• believe he is to leave England in a few days.' Hann may he done in a few days. He may say something to her, and she may make some foolish promise.' I am Greatly afraid that harm is already,' thought the mother, but she said nothing of her fears, and merely asked, ' How do you propose to separ- ate thein ? You. do not wish me to leave word. that we are not at home to him 'd' 'No, Mary. I do not wish you to do that: Mr. Starner was a truthful man. The very smallest of lies was repugnant ve him. ' No, you need not leave word with the servant in the way you mean. But you had better take the two girls down to l' army for a week. The change will do these and you good,' ' What ! To -day !' cried Mrs. Stainer, taken aback by the suddenness and sweeping nature of the order. ' Yes, to -day. The boys are all gone out now. You can pack up anything you may want, and I'll go and tele- graph to Fanny to be ready for you.' ` But, Henry. this is very sudden, and I have nothing of my own or the girls' ready.' The danger, too, is sudden; and as to not having things ready, that need not stand in the way. You can get anything you want in Leamington or Birmingham,' Mr. Stainer was a man who, when he had once made up his mind in a matter of this kind, did not consider it necessary to devote any great length of time to inducing others to agree with him. He was quite satisfied it would be best for his youngest daughter that she should not meet Walter Aubyn, and that sending the girl away filth her mother and sister would be the surest way of preventing ameeting. His sister's was as good a pisoe as any other for them to go to, and so there they should go, and at once. He was by no means a hard or unfeeling man. Few kinder men ever breathed, And now he was not thinking in any selfish of his daughter, but was simply anxious to get her away from what he believed to be a serious danger threatening her. The result of Mr. Stamer's resolution was, that early in the afternoon of that day he took his two daughters and his wife in a four-wheel cab to Paddington, and put them into a train for Warwick. Although the mother had , not told the daughters the cause of their sudden flight, each girl bad guessed it for her- self, and remained silent over the mat- ter. Loo had no heart to talk, and Liz- zie knew this and kept silent for the time. The aunt to whom they were going was the only sister of Mr. Starner, and the childless widow of Mr. Morgan Wanklyn, who In his time had made money out of lime works, and, being much the senior of his wife, died five years ago, leaving his wife a good house and a comfortable income from house - property bought out of the profits of the limeworks. At the time of her husband's death, Mrs. Wanklya was about forty, so that she had now reach- ed the important age of forty-five. It is the general belief that until a woman bas passed half way through her fifth decade we have no assurance against finding flightiness in her character. But at forty-five a woman ought to have come to the use of reason, that is, unless she is a born fool. Now the widow Wanklyn was no fool about her own affairs, at all events. When Mr. Wanklyn died,or as soon after as was consistent with decent grief, she made up her mind never again to marry. Having so, resolved about her own affairs, she prepared. once mere to devote herself to her old favorite oc- cupation—the affairs of others. During the lifetime of Mr. Wanklyn she had occasionally to take her mind off her neighbors' affairs and think of his. Now she had neither .him nor his affairs to think of, and she was therefore free to give up all her time to those around her. She took no in- terest in her own business. Every quarter her lawyer sent her a cheque for the quarter's money, and there was an end of it. She left all else to him. She left to hha all questions of house repairs, and in order that she might have' the more time for damaging the characters of those who earned her dis- pleasure or disapproval. She knew every ane inthetown, and in Leaming- ton too, and she knew very little good of any one. She had a few favorites, to whom she was more than just ; and chief among her favorites was Stanley Bayless, a low: sized, slender young man, with deep sunken grey eyes, a soft manner, a low voice, "and the reputation of great wealth. He was ablaut thirty years of age. He was reputed the greatest male gossip in the town. If, in the presence of the widow and his absence, any one hinted that if she would the widow might be Mrs. Stanley Bayless, she shook her head slightly, but at the same time, like the 'Pied Piper of Hame- lin,' smiled to herself a quiet smile, as though few suspected her power. Mr. Stanley Bayless was one of thosa mon who have no male friends. He had hinted vaguely at his hopes in the bereft quarter, but the hints were not considered. to indicate any signal sae,- In adIIn appearance Mrs. Wanklyn was far from unprepossessing, notwithstandin. her' forty-five years. She was shoo of stature and pleme, with a bright animated faoa ane dark -brown lustrous hair. She was, to say the least of it, comely, and some held that she wag goodelooleing. Being childless herself, and her bro- ther Henry being her only near rela- tive,' he and his family engaged her foremost regard. It was the ohe weak point in her armour. When she died the houses were to go to the two un- married daughters. She cared nothing The meet prompt pleass.nt and per- fect tare fOr coughs, cows, Asthma.

She loved Mr. Staniar almost as much as she loved the two girls, and that was saying a good deal. She not only never said a hard word of her brother or his family, but it was an article of her faith that no man or woman would, while of sound mind, utter a disrespeotful wordof her rely,- titres. elytines. The travellers arrived in Warwick in lime for dinner. Dirs. Wanklyn was at the station to receive them, and hurried them into a fly she had in waiting. I'm delighted to see you all, my dears,' said the widow, when they were seated, ' I'm. delighted to see you,al- though I haven't the ghost of an idea what I am to thank for your coming. Henry never said. I haven't his tele- gram with me. I left it on the side- board or chunneypiece or somewhere. But it's no earthly consequence, as it doesn't give any particulars beyond the feet that you, Mary, and the girls were coming ley this train, It was as busi- nesslike as if you were three chests of tea or bales of Manchester goods. But never mind, now, so long as you are here. You are looking well, that is as far as I could see by the wretched gaslight at the station. It is, I own, one of the gloomiest stations in the world. How is Henry himself ? Getting old; like all of us, 1 suppose. The stupid man i he has actually passed the Iii a few minutes they were all in the widow's cheerful drawing -room un- der the gaslight, and in the warm glow of a bright prosperous fire. 'And how are you all?' asked the aformiabanleanswerlittle w, omen, pausing this time 'Quite well.; and how are you, Fanny?' '0 I'm quite well too. Only you know, as I said before, I'm growing no younger. After twenty a woman never grows young. A man, if he is only care- ful, my dears, grows young until he is thirty-five; but a woman is old at twenty-seven, and when she comes to my age forty-five or so—yes, my dears, I'm every day of that—when she comes to forty-five, she ought to be killed. Now what good am I that I should be allowed to crawl about earth any longer? Loo, you have your old lovely complex- ion still. You have grown stout since I saw you. last, Lizzie; a short girl like you should grow no stouter. When you are married you may do what you like; it's all the same then, provided you get the upper hand of your husband, which is a thing, of course, every wom- an `Yes, but if you don't get her married to some one you and Henry approve of, some . one you- do not approve of will come and marry her.' In her heart Mrs. Starner did approve oth£ e Aubwidoynw; but she did not wish to tell so, 'It is not very easy,' she said, ' to find all you would like in a young man; those you like laersonally are poor, and those who are rich you don't like person - any.' 'That's, Mary, my dear, because .you haMve snot,Starnelookredsmiin lethed. right place.'

You horrify me ; you , do, in- deed. You will never get either of these girls off your hands if you go on in that way. A woman ought to do the best she can for her daughters.' 'Well, well, well, Fanny ; I don't want either of the girls to marry just yet. They are quite young enough to face the world and all its trials. It will not ydoeears eithmerors at themhome.' any harm to be a few of Mary, indeed you ought not to say sueh things ; and as you do, I must only help you. I have the very man in my mind that will suit Loo. He is young, rich, amiable, and good-looking enough —for a man—come in.' A servant entered. 'Mr. Bayless has: come with the Leam- ington newspaper he promised' to fetch, and he wants to know if you. would like him to bring you down, the Advertiser this evening ?' 'Tell Mr. Bayless,' said the widow, smilingaside to her sister-in-law, 'that Idowshalbe down in a few minutes, and that I hope he will wait until I get n.' The servant withdrew. 'Rather a late hour for a visit from a gentleman,' said Mrs. Starner, returning the widow's smile. 'He is a great friend of yours, no doubt,' said. Mrs. Starner, in a pleasant, significant way. Yes, a great friend, Mary; and I hope he will be a great friend. of yours too. You can't but like him at the first ; and I hope you will grow to love him, for I mean that he shall be your son- in-law; I mean that he shall marry (To be Ccnatinued.) `Henry does not wish that there should be anything,. further between them at present,' said Mrs. Stapler, an- swering the question indirectly. If she had the power she would have given the young people three or four hundred a year and her blessing. el, of COUSSO• Henry's word is law.' There was a pause here in the talk.

I don't want to lose her yet—not for a few yeare, anyway.' , Loo was the apple of her eye, her youngest ,doughter, whom she loved. A QUEER FREAK OF MEMORY. & Ran Suddenly,Loses All Power to Read Without Any Other Affection. A remerkable case of complete loss of visual, memory, depriving an edu- cated man suddenly of the power to read without in any other way affect- ing his raental faculties or sight, is de- scribed in a. recent number of the Lan- cet by the attending physician. The patient is a teacher of Frenoh and Ger- man in Glasgow, 58 years of age, and a man of 'intelligence and education. A year and a half ago he was startled one inorning to find that he could. not read a Frenole exercise given to him. to correct by one of his pupils, though on the day before he had. corrected exercises as usual. Re was puzzled, and, going into the next room, asked his wife to read the exeroise, which she did without difficulty. He took up a printed book' and found he could not read a single word. Then he went to the doctor. On examining his eyes the dootor ,found that he could not read a single letter ; he saw thein .perfectly and was able to describe their shapes, but he no longer knew their names nor what they meant. The peculiar feature in the ease, in which it differs from the few reeorded cases of partial loss of memory like it, is that the man can read figures as fluently as before ; he can also write easily to dictation, but cannot read what he writes. No other detiot could be made out by the most careful examination. Ile spoke as flu- entle' as ever ; his mental powers were aa vigorous as before •, there was no de- fect of memory apart from that of the symbols of speech. His general health heel .always leen good, and was good at the time ; there was no evidence of organic disease. He had had a great deal of mental work and worry before the loss of his reading power. The doc- tor found at last that he was blind in the right half of each visual field, thomell the back of the eye was normal ; the doctor calls it right lateral homony- mous hemianopsia. He prescribed a rest for six months, and. then set the man to learning to read again. The patient began by teaming the alphabet and spelling. through a child's primer, and after nine months he can now slowly spell out printed matter, hesitating and blundering over many letters like a child. His other powers are the same as they were before his loss of reading memory ; figures present no difficulty, and he can still write to dictation, though his handwriting is not so good, and he makes more mistakes in spelling, as a man might who wrote with his eyes shut. The doctor thinks the de- fect in his eyesight may have some- thing to do with his curious mental lapse. CURIOUS AUCIDENTS: Seine Queer Thiuge That Confront At: An accident insurance company re- ports paying losses on some remarkable cases. A man tried to carry hbrne a carving knife on a bicycle. The com- pany paid for the aecident which re- sulted, though it was perilously near "voluntary exposure." A locomotive engineer jumped from hiS engine with a carving knife in his pocket, point up. He slipped and drove the blade into his armPit and died in a few hours. An- other curious ca.se was that of a painter who Started to move a couple of paint barrels from the edge of a platform above the street ; he had shifted one, which, being full, taxed all his strength, and tackled. the other, suppesing it to be full likewise, and, throwing all his force into (the lift. It proved to be empty, and his unresisting tug sent him headlong into the street, striking on his head and shoulders. He was serious- ly hurt. The heaviest indemnity claim the Travelers ever paid was to a raan who was tumbled. into a coal hole while walking along the sidewalk reading a paper. Not long ago/in Cleveland, a man fell from a five -story building, striking a roan walking on the sidewalk. Both wete killed. It is the only case on record where arman was killed by another falling on him. Classifying Him. Didn't you eay Edgar, that you pro- posed to Ethel?

It is that of a man who strips in good hot blood to fight. The whole nation is inflamed as one man at the insolence and defiance of the German Emperor. The mass of Englishmen caught the meaning and the spirit of the Fanperor's note with won- derful quickness and responsiveness, and the matter at once became an af- fair, not of the Government's, but of the People's. There has been no talk of rea- soning with Germany, no dwelling on the calamitous aspect of war, no depre- cating a breach of the peace, nothing in short, to weaken a strong, healthy national war feeling. The Old Land e evidently in the best of heart. But r few days ago the country was inolinee to censure severely the grave fault o. Jameson, 'mil action was condemned both because it was wrong in itself an because it tended to get Great Britain into hot water, But now the guilty and unfortunate Tameson, the man the people of England may thank for pre- cipitating the trouble with Germany, is popularly forgiven and his wrong- doing forgotten, The people have tak- en up the German challenge, but they have no wrath for the man who got the.ra into the unpleasantness. With them the vital point is that British rights and BRITISH PRIDE have been. touched. jameson is now Out of the question. Moreover, his in- vasion probably did no more than hast- en a quarrel which the German Emper- or seenied to think he could provoke with a,dvantage 4ust, now. Indeed, if Jameson% expedition had. entered the Transvaal a month ago, it is unlikely that William would have made himself quite so officious as he has done. The true explanation of his conduct is al- most certain to be found in a desire to take advantage of Great Britain at a moment of difference with the United States. At any time, no doubt, the Empeyor would be glad to humiliate Britain. and establish German influence in place of her's over the Transvaal and British Zambesia. But he would. scarce- ly seek to accomplish such an end. by a direct appeal to war. He was prepar- ed to snatch advantage at a favorable moment, and he evidently believed that such a. moment had come when the war talk was at its height between. Britain and. the United States. Jameson's said gave him his pretext. To no greater ex- tent probably has Jameson been in- strumental m bringing about the pre- sent thre,atening state of affairs be- tween. Britain and .Germany.. The Eng- lish people 'are therefore.as just as they are magnaminous in not loading him with the responsibility for the grave situation which now confronts them. Their min.ds are wholly occupied with the POSSIBILITY OF WAR and with their enthusiastic readiness to take part in it. Any national crisis is usually accurately ,measured by a drop in the price of consols. Since Satur- day consols have fallen awa3r sharply, witnessing to the general belief that the English people are in earnest. The volunteers show their earnestness by their stron.g desire to be er Nilled for is dealing with the situation a thor- oughly business -like manner. Orders have been sent to the troops on passage to and. from India to land at the Cape. A flying. squadron of six powerful war- ships is ordered. to be put m commission and made ready for sea by the 14th inst. Two cruisers of the West African sta- tion, under command of Rear -Admiral Rawson, have received instructions to sail at once for Dela.goa Bay. It was rumoured that German sailors were to have been landed at Delagoa Bay and sent acmes Portuguese territory to help the ,Boers had the latter failed to defeat Jameson. It is now. denied, with what- ever authority, that Portugal *ill con- sent to the transportation of forces through its territory to rriq Ire war on a friendly power. Britain, however, isnot trusting t.o the friendliness of Portugal, and if German forces are brought to Delagoa Bay there will be British bluejackets there to receive them.
