"I have not seen you ao gay these twelve months; and what with the mild, and fear of the watch and monsieur, I am ready to sink. you must have heard fine news down there." But madame did not answer. She was thinking a last Cbrtstraas. Her husband had gone to the revels at the Palate Cardinal, which was then In building. She had offered to go with him, and he had told her, withan oath, that if she did she should re- member it. So she had stopped at home alone -her first Christmas in Paris. She had gone to mass and then had. sat all day in thet cold, splendid house and cried. Half the servauts had played truant, and her woman bad been cross, and for hours together no one had gone near her. This Christmas it was to be dif- feren . Madame's eyes began to shine again amid her heart to beatt a pleasant mea- sure. If she had her will, they would go' to no pageants or merry -makings. But then, he liked such things, and. showed to advantage in them. Yes, they would go, and she woulid sit quiet as a mouse; and listening while they praised him, would feed all the time on the sweet knowledge that now he was hers -her own. She hied not done dreaming when they seethed the house. The' porter was i drowsing in his lodge, the gate was.ajar. They slipped into the dark silent court -yard, and, _flitting a- cross it, entered the house. Two.ser- vents lay stretched asleep an the hall and in a little room to the left of the door they could hear others talk - mg; but no one looked out., ffortune' could not have aided them better. With &little laugh at relief and thank- fulness madame" tripped up the grand staircase and under the great lamp which lighted it and the hall. Margot followed, but neither she nor her mistress saw• who followed theen--whot had followed ahem across the weedy. Greve, through street and la,ne and be -way, even, after a mo- ment's hesitation, over the threshold of the court and into the housle. A servant who hear the stairs oreak as they went tip, and looked out, fancied, he eaw a small dark figure glide out of sight; above; but as there were no thildren in the house, and this was &child, if anytlung, ho. thought hs eyes deceived hen -he was ball aeleep-aad, crossing him weta back, yawning.

The man muttered some excuse, and, kneeling, began to blow the embers, while Vidhoce looked on moodily, He had not taken off his hat and cloak. "Has madame been out this even - he said, suddenly.

The door -ways framed more Loc.+, the staircase rang will1 sounds of alarm. .Everywhere was turmoil and a madness of hurry- ing feet. One ran for the doctor, an- other for the priest, a third for the watch. The house seemed on a sud- den alive; nay, the very court -yard, where the porter was gone from his post, and the doors stood open, was full of staring strangers, who gaped at the windows and. the hurrying lights, and asked whose was the hotel, or answered it was M. de Vidoehe's. It had been. But already the man who had gone up the stairs so full of strength and evil purpose lay dying, speechless, all but dead. They had lifted him on to a pallet which some one drew frora a neighboring room and at first there had been no lack of helpers or ready hands. • One un- tied his cravat, and another his doub-• let, and two or three of the coolest held him in his paroxysms. But the magic word "Poison!" was whispered, and 0110 by one, all, even the man who had been with him, even madame's woman, drew off and left those two alone. the livid body lay on the pal- let, and madame, stunned and horror- stricken, hung over it; but the ser- vants stood away in a dense circle, and looking on with gloora and fearin their faces, some mechanically holding lights, some still grasping the bowls and basins they were afraid to use, whispered that word again and again. It seemed as if the tell-tale syll- ables passed the walls; for the first to arrive, before the doetor or the priest, was the captain of the watch. He came upstairs, his sword clanking, and thrusting the curtains aside, stood looking at the strange scene, which the many lights, irregularly held and distributed, lighted up as if it had been a pageant on the stage. -Who is it?" he muttered, touching the nearest ser- vant on the arm. "Monsieur de Vidoche," the mazt an- swered. "Is he dead?" The man cringed before him. 'Dead,. Or as good," he whispered._ "Yes, sir." "Then he is not de,ad?" "I do not know, sir." , "Then why the devil are you all standing like mutes at a funeral?" the soldier answered, with an oath. "Leav- ing madame alone, too. Poison, eh? Oh!" and he whistled softly. "So that is why you are all looking on a,si if the man had got the plague, is iteetpeetty set of curs you are! But here is the doctor.

'The report cm •the immigration to Ontario for 1899 has been issued. The total number of steerage passengers who settled in Oiltari0 reached 4,015, as against 3,358 in the previous year. These figures take no account of the figures from the United States or cab- in and show an, increase of twenty per cent. In view of the decline of immigration in the decade ending In 1898, satisfaction that the tide had turned is expressed by Mr. Spence, secretary of the Immigration Depart- ment. The demand for skilled farm labour was far in, exceas of the sup-. ply and the wages advanced in con- sequence of an advance in wages in the British Isles„ Many men found em- ployment in railway work in the new or north-western seetions of Ontario. Th,ere was in increase of 118 In Ju- venile emigrants. Mr. Spence is not hopeful of a large increase in immi- gration this season in view of increas- ed cost of ocean passage, resulting • from the diversion of steamers to South Africa, and the unprecedented industrial activity in the Milted King- dom. The cost per capita of immigra- tion to the province, in 1899 was $1.64, as against $2.11 in 1898. Forest is to have granolithie side- walks. • Pobr6. Aft6r.

Although it was quite probable that many rse the soldiers would be- come citizens of ,South Africa, and that others would become permanent officers in her Majesty's service. The Attorney -General also moved the second reading of a bill to authortze municipal grants for the benefit of Canadians on military services in South •Africa..
