CHAPTER I.
"So for the sake a a paltry ten,
Pinata note, I must stay oWaY frono
the only ball I ever oared to go to!"
eXciaimed Miss Blount, indignantly.
"Well, I Must I soy I think it hard—
very herd --more than most girls of my
age would bear," coneluding h,er slight-
ly mutinous speeelt with hurried bitter-
ness, and turning aside to the window
ae an ominous riamg in her throat gave
warning that it was high time her elo-
quenee should come to an end.
"Eh? What are you complain-
ing of now, Kate?" demanded the per-
son, addressed, raising his head ab"
stractedly from the paper he was
studying with that far -away look in
his face which most people acquire
when their thoughts are in the clouds,
,and which is, of all expressions, the
niost aggravating to those on the
wateh for sympathy. "Oh, that ever-
lasting ball of the Taunions, ed? Well,
I told you before it could, not be, you
know, and that ehould be sufficient.
Stop that devil's tattoo on the window-
pane, will you, unless you want to give
me a headaehe with your restlessness!"
"But why cannot I go?" the girl
went on, persistently, facing the enemy
once more as she spoke. "I don't very
often ask you for money, as you must
allow, and---"
"It is utterly out of the question,"
interrupted her father, languidly,
"so put it ont of your head once for
all. I could not let you have a farth-
ing just now—even supposing it were
a matter of life or death—being aS
hard up as I well can be; my usual
condition, by the bye. Look here,
Katherine! if Barrington calls while I
am away send him up to the square
field, will you, where I am going about.
those partridges? Come, Belle, Gallant,
get up, you lazy brutes!" disturbing
with his foot, as he finished speaking,
two magnificent pointers as they lay
dozing beside his chair.
The coolness of the refusal, knowing
as she did, how idly, and selfishly her
father's money was spent, together
with this whole bearing, roused. Miss
Blount's quick temper beyond control.
"It would be better for you to give
up your hunters and dogs, and dress
your daughter properly, than to go on
living beyond your means in the dis-
honorable way you are now doing!"
she cried, passionately, 'her fine eyes
flashing.
"That is just one of thekmany points
on which you and I so totally dis-
agree," Archibald Blount answered,
pleasantly, no whit moved from his us-
ual calm, gentlemanly demeanor by
his daughter's vehemence, moving in-
dolently out of the room as he conclud-
ed, and closing the door with almost
womanly gentleness behind him.
When he was gone, the girl clinched
her small hands tightly together to
keep down the rebellious tears, and
leaning her head back against the
shutter, strove hard to suppress the
feelings th.at rose so angrily within
her.
As she thus stood, battlin.g bravely
with her thoughts, the dazzling Aug-
ust sun shone brightly down upon her,
flushing her face and hair and figure
with its gay warmth, so as literally to
frame her in its yellow gold—and a
very beautiful little face it was to
frame, richly tinted, changeable and
passionate, expressing only too clear-
ly at times the secret workings of her
heart., Her eyes were singularly love-
ly, of a fine, deep hazel, , large, and
sometimes touehing in their pathos;
albeit, it must be confessed that she
was by no means angelie in her ten-
dencies, her celestial qualities being
decidedly few and far between, and
heavily blended with our coarset earth
besides. Her mouth was iati
nor was it perfect and her color was an
unmistakable gipsy-brown; but for all
that she was as sweet and loveable and
perverse a creature as ever decorated
the earth or, broke the heart of man.
Numerous were the victims who
cried for quarter to Miss Blount; in-
deed, she hed it very much her own
way with the sterner sex, few being
able to withstand her tender, wild,
childish beauty, even hardy veterans
giving in hopelessly to the little queen
who thinned their ranks so mercilessly.
Old and young, grave and gay, succum-
bed without a murmur to her smiles.
With women, however, she scarcely
got on so well, her exquisite, unsatis-
fied face being no passport to their
favor. They could see no herrn in it
ertY and its attendant eursee.
Leaning back now, with lier head,
agoinst the woodwork of the window,
Wbe. almost swore to herself that no
love dreams slawald come between her
and her hopes of earthly riches; and ea
she thought with bitter earnestness,
her reverie was suddenly broken in
upon by the eutrance of a young man
of about four-and.etweoty, Wile, cool-
ing over to the windove, sank lazily.
into Chair directly opposite to her.,
For e moment he gazed wonderingly
at the girl's half -averted, sorrowful
faee, whereon the recent tears had left
their silent traces, after which ecru-.
tiny he inquired, without any very
great regard to the selection of his
language:
"What's up?"
"Fee' goodness' sake why can't you
speak proper English?" Miss Blount
asked, pettishly, glancing swiftly round
from the window as she epoke, "What's
up—now how anti to understand
what you mean by that,"—With a
short laugh—"you mean my temper?
That is "up to all intents and pur-
poses, I allow you. Did you mean
it ?"
"No, my dear, I did not," the young
man answered, calraly ; "I am only
anxious to learn what it is that has
grieved you during my absence. Will
you tell me ?"
"What is the use ?" Miss Biount
inquired, still with the sense of injury
full upon her. "You cannot help me,
and most probably if I told you my
g•rierance, would only consider Inc
silly. All men consider a girl frivol-
ous if she happens to wish for a, lit-
tle more than the common necessaries
of life." •
"T/aere is an exception to every
rule, so put me out of that list," her
companion answered, getting up from
his seat and possessing himself of one
of the little nervous hands that for
the past few mioutes had. been en-
deavoring most laudably to work a
hole in the handkerehief they hold.
"I do not belong to it, as I could haide
ly think youi frivolous, even if I tried,
or—or anything else, unpleasant. I
fancy; so tell me your misfortune, and
let me assist you if I can."
"Well, it is all shout the Tauntons
bail," the girl murmured, softened by
hfk 'evident sympathy, and reddening
furiously the Nvhile, but refusing,
crimson, nevertheless, to remove her
eyes from his. "I cannot go because
I have no dress nice enough, and papa
wili not give me a new one—that is
all; so now confess at once that you
think me ridiculous and have done
with it."
"Poor little thing!" was all the other
said, but his eyes wandered out to
the glowing 'garden, whither his
thoughts followed, running riot among
the flowers, as he concocted all sorts
of schemes for the express purpose of
gratifying Katherine s last whim. Of
course she should, have a dress, but
who would choose -it for him, and,
when chosen, how should he persuade
ed her to accept it? And then he
wondered what color would be most
becoming to the perplexed little bea.uty
at his side ; after which he got puz-
zled, and fell to wondering about many
other things as Quixotic as they were
agreeable.
Miss W.ount, who was watching
his countenance with furtive anxiety,
guessed quite correctly all the ideas
that were tormenting him, and was
immensely amused accordingly.
"It is of no use, Rackwood," she
said.—"You cannot heti) me. Give it
up, -dear boy, and! I dare say presently
I shall be reconciled to my fate ; "but '
—and here the softness vanished, the
old hard look taking its place "I swear
that, if I can avoid it, I will not end
ray days in, this kind of poverty. I
shall marry riches or not at all."
He dropped her hand hurriedly, al -
Most tudely, and turned away. 1 ,
"Money does not always mean hap-
piness," he said. .
"But poverty is always unhappi-
ness," she retorted, quickly. .
".Tita," he reasoned, after a mo-
ment s pause—she generally went by
the name of "Titan—short for Tit-
ania—with her two most intimate
friends, on account' of her fairy-like
proportions—"Tita, do not. place too
much dependence upon riches they
will fail you in the end, my dearest
—believe me, they will—whereas love
that never dies, and a bare sufficiency,
will carry you through all difficulties.'
"As for indtance ?" she asked, half
mockingly.
But, whatever his sentiments on
the subject of that much-discussed
for their part—voted her "odd —pecu- topic, "a sufficiency," might be, she
liar — horribly fast—barely good look- was never d.00rned to hear them, as
ing," according to each speaker's own at this junction the door was onoe more
view of the case, and sought to "keep opened slowly, to admit Archibald
her down," with all their might,
though to no purpose; for, after em-
ploying all the energy they were cap-
able of to reduce her to the common
level, they were fain to -eonfess that
Katherine heeded them not. She lived
her life alone, careless of their appro-
bation or the reverse, and but for Har-
riet Charteris would, in all probability,
have possessed no female Mena-
33,er father, Archibald Blount — was
cold, worldly, and selfish to the heart's
core. No love for his beautiful child
ever warmed or brightened the stage -
ant feelings of this breast; she was
there—before hie eyes — the living
image of her dead raolher but to him
she was little more than an incum-
bransie, the unwished-for consequence
of a regretted marriage. •
It was small wonder that the girl
should, under the circumstances, pay
but little outward respect to his wishes
or coramands, though in her inmost
heart there lay hidden for him a last-
ing Jena, far stronger than even she
herself believed could possibly • have
existed for the father who held her in
snob slight estitnation, and spent his
time in racing or betting, or gambling
away the small ineotne — a remnant of
of lois once princely fortune—that etif-
fieed to 'keep them from -utter deatite-

well-bred manner until he had reached
the table, whereon he deposited a piece
of crumpled paper.
"I have changed my mind, Kathe-
rine," he said. "Here is a ten -pound
note for you; so you can go to this
much -coveted ball if you wish/'
"Oh, papa," exclaimed Miss Blount,
regretting bitterly now all the hasty
words Wad thoughts she had beea in-
dulging in, "forgive me! I do not de-

what I said to you a few moments ago;
lout, believe me, I am very grateful to

Yet still she did not move forward
to kiss him as perhaps a more beloved

ani even miserably discontented with

"Katherine," said Blackwood, wist-
fully, "my darling, I cannot bear to
hear your talk like this. I wish to
Heaven I had it in my power now to
shield you from every grief and pain;
but at present what can I do? Per-
haps afterward — in time—if you will

"Rush!" Miss Blount • interrupted
him quiekly, eagerly, laying her hand
with unconscious vehemenee upon his
arm, while a spasm of intense pain
shot: across her face. " 'ash, Black-
wood — you must not epees to me like
thatl I will not have it, You are my
Cousin— ray brother—the dearest a
girl could have. but nothing more,
never anything more."
The expression of Blackwood's eyes
changed.
"Do not pretend to make any mis-
take," he said, almost sternly, lone
loosening her fingers from her arm,
and holding them firmly between his
own. "You know as well as I do that
for everything the world contains, I
would not be your brother. You know
also that I will be to you all or noth-
ing."
"It must be nothing, then," the girl
answered, very sadly, though firmly;
but not daring this time to raise her
eyes to his; after. which she walked
away slowly to the door without an -.1
o9aer word. Arrived. there, however,
she lingered — woman-like — with the
handle in her haiad, to see if. he would
not make some answer to her last
cruel speech; but she waited in vain.
Blackwood made no reply; and,
glancing involuntarily toward the Win-
dow, to where the autumn sun was

figure, she could see that the dark
handsome, loyal face was white to the

went, but in reality he had ever been

The British Eurpire Compared With the
Moilter Country.
It is a commonplace to talk of the
British Empire as one "on which the
sun never sets," and. perhaps the gran-
diloquent fact does not convey any
very great meaning to ordinary, ears.
Year by year the British Empire is
spreading and growing. The English
language bids fair to become the one
universal language of `commerce.
Nine years ago the percentage of
each European language spoken in the
world was as follows:— ,
English. .
Russian ..
German. . . .
French. . •
Spanish. . .
Italian. • , „
Portuguese. . . . . . . 3.2
Judging from `the •past rate of pro-
gress one may assume with some eer-
tanty that in 1899 England is even
higher up in the scale than in 1890.
It is our great .Colonial Empire that
we have to thank for this extraordin-
ary prominence in the affairs of the
world. No other nation can boast of
such enormous territories ..as Great
Britain can. Besides the vast areas
which are under the control of the
British crown, the mother country it-
self is an infinitesimal speck.
The area of the British Isles in square
miles is 117,759, India and Ceylon mea-
sure some 1,585,525 miles, Australia 3,-
0a0,77e, and Canada heads the list with
3,519,002. In South, Central and. East
Africa Great Britain possesses 756,704
square miles, New Zealand giebs us
101,027, while the Straits SettIRments
and Borneo can be computed at 1,213,-

THE: GREAT MAN OE GREENLAND.
Something About the " Eskimo Million.
Aire, Kor-ito-ya,P,
When the Anti(' whaling fleet re-
tiorned from' the north hiet season it
broteght word, that Koi:-Iae-ya, had, place
ed a new window in, his house. As a
matter of news in ordinary building
circles this would pass unnoticed, but
Ip those who have traveled where the
altn shines at midnight the intelligeeee
is extremely interesting,
For a decade of years the growing
olaulenee of Kor-ko-ya, otherwise lenovvo
as the "Eskim,o millionaire" has been
watched with great curiosity by the
whalers and the occasional explorer.
He has long been known as a thrifty
man, as thrift goes in the Arctic re-
gions, but it is only of late that his
fortune has assumed really wonderful
proportions.
It i,$) said that he now owns 110 fewer
than 7 kayaks, and a full two -score of
bone -tipped, double -bladed paddies. His
stock a blubber for the winter of 1897-8
consisted of over sixty "paree1s1,"
weighing 100 pounds each. In addition
to thisi he sold to traders' half as mallY,
receiving in part payment the new win-
dow elreeelyimentioned,
HIS 'THIRTY DOGS
are all crossed with the Newfoundland
breed, which makes them especially
valuable for hauling inerposes, and of a
better flavour as an article of diet in
time of famine. Of sealskins, foxskins,
bearskins, raw eiderdown feathers,

reindeer Vides he has enough to keep
him in plenty for some years.
But it; is in wives that h.e is con-
sidered richest. In his lame igloo
u,p, on the western shore oe Baffin Bay,
he has ten, all particularly strong of
jaw, and, able to keep Kor-ko-ya's stock
of clothing ever soft and pliable. The
importance of this veal be understood
when the Eskimo custom of ehewing
skins is understood.
Kor-ko-ya was born in 1841, at a small
native settlement a short distance
north of ;what is now the Danish town
of julianelmeb, in Greenland. 'He left
his home at an early age and crossed
Baffin Bay, making his igloo with
another tribe famous as hunters of seal.
He was known to some of the early
exlorers, and acted as head guide and
chief townsman to them.
He attracted. notice even in his teens
al a thrifty youth, and from that time
becarae prominent among the Eskimo.
Saving is an unknown art to the In-
dians of the Arctic regions, andit is
seldom they accumulate enough to last
them throughout the long winter. Cer-
tain rules of th.e tribes make it incum-
bent upon them to keep
THEIR NEEDY NEIGHBORS,
and. for that reason the individual
members neglect to lay by stores for
the morrow.
Kor-koeya became an exception. He
was a skilful hunter ansi a shrewd tra-
der, and, before The waes 20, his main
igloo became ;the centre of the village.
The tribe to which he had attached
himself was one of the largest and
most influential of that part of the
country, and by his 25th year Ko-ko-
ya was recognized as the head of it.
It is said that men came 200 miles to
consult him in affairs of the chase and
trade.
He became well-known to the hardy
whalers, and to -day his doings forma
subject of ,comment and interest in
more than one country. And that is
whf the news that he ha,d placed an-
other window in hi,s house was carried

croquet is worth reviving. It is a

San those high spirits who rejoice in
the fray it affords more opportunities

A POOR MAN'S DILEMMA.
Rendered Penniless by a Legal Blunder -
Peculiar incident.
An elderly man, named Burt, ap-
peared before the Judicial Committee
of the Privy Council the other day and
told a remarkable story, says the Lan-
don Daily Mail.
Ile said he entered into litigation
in Tasmania and won his case, but
for some reason„ which was not ren-
dered clear by the applicant's explan-
ation, judgment was wrongly entered
for his opponent, the defendant.
Having made the mistake, the offi-
cials of the court declined to set the
matter right, and plaintiff appealed
to the Supreme Court, where he suc-
ceeded in convincing the- judges that
there had been a blunder. An order
was made upon the court of first in-
stance fa enter judgment for peti-
tioner, but this order had not been
complied with, and he could get no
redress.
Having sold his land, and spent all
his money, he became penniless. Under
these circumstances, a number of
people in Tasmania who took an inter-
est in his fate got up a subscrip-
tion and sent him to England to see
if he could get justice from their Lord-
ships.
0 heir Lordships, however, stated that
they were unable to help him, all
they could do was to express sym-
pathy with him.
Lord Watson explained to him that
their Lordships had jurisdiction to
hear appeals only from Supreme
Courts, and as he was not appealing
from a Supreme Court—which, in-
deed, had decided in his favor—they
could do nothing for him. They sug-
gested that he should see the Col-
onial Secretary, warning him at the
same time not to entertain any san-
guine hope that the right hon. gentle-
man could do anything for him.
The old man gathered. up his papers
and departed.
