:we lie won't turn her head."
Neeturius was talking to Stella of
her father, a theme that thrilled her.
No one until this hour had ever
oken that name since. Hubert Lash -
mar's death, and Lord Lashmar had
ways been reticent upon this; one
subject, shrinkeng from. all question-
-And you really knew him:" she ex -
cleaned with delight. "You were at
the university with bine"
eYe, I knew him well, and admir-
ed his gifts, which were great. He
was an eriginal genius, and in a world
where all things are growing old and
tale that ought to count for much.
Is it. many years since -since yoa lost
him?"
He is not deed, the girl answered
eagerly, paling at the question. "At
least, I ba.vs never heard of his death;
and I always think of him, and pray
far ham, and dream of him as living.
I see his faze in my dreams often.,
though I was such a child when he
went away."
"He went awayi" eepeated. Mr.
Nesterius, wonderingly.
„Yee, very, very far away. He
must have been in trouble of some
kind -great trouble -or he would not
have gone without me. And then
came the fire, and Lofrd-Lashmar sav-
ed ray life and adapted me as his own
little giel."
"Did your father leave lung before
the fire?"
"I can't rermenalaer.. All that part of
my life seems like a. dmayn. I woke
one roomy:jugend saw green trees and
gardens and a river. It was like
waking up in fairyland. That Was
the beginning of ray life' at Lashniar.

"Night after night," said Stella; "I

night. has been always my own."
"And you began to write and you
have gone on ;writing without en-
couragement, help, or counsel of any
kind? Ytra are a. wonderful girl. Go

"Will you really be so good as to

No wonder what?"

CHAPTER XIV.
Lord Laehmair, having it keen and
curious mind, had watched that in-
terview between the statesman and
her ladysblins reader, and had. marvel-
ed much what they had been talking
about. There had been dramatic
action, too, that had puzzled him.
Stellaes clasped hands, and face up-
lifted appealiug to Nestarius, Wlett
eauld it all mean?
Mr. Nestneuts pante le late to after-
noon tea, to find the shooters estab-
lished around the fire.
"Pray where have you been hiding
yourself all day, Mr. Nestariusr ask-
ed Clarice, with an offended air; "ex-
cept for a brief appearance at lunch-
eon, we have seen nothing of you."
"Life is not all pleasure, Lady Car-
rainow," be answered. "I had letters
to write and papers to read all the
morning and I spent tiler afternoon
with my old friend Verner."
"Why is not Mr. Verner asked to
the castle?" exclaimed Lady Carmi-
now, turning suddenly to Lord Lash -
mar. "He is evidently the moat at-
tractive person in the neighborhood.
This is not the first occasion on which
he has deprived us of the society of
Mr. Nestorkus."
"An old bookworm does not gener-
ally exercise that kind of magnetism
unaided," answered Lashmar with a
faint sneer; "but I think to -day there
was a feminine element. Merlin's
cave was enliVened by the presence of
Vivien. Mr .Nestorius has taken it
into his head to be interested in ray
brother's protege and I believe site
spends all her leisure with old Ver -
"She was with him this afternoon,"
said Nestorius. "Yes, I am deeply in-
texested in her. I have nat been so

terrupted Lady Carminow, innocent-
ly.
"Yes; the girl is altogether remark-
able -a creature of exceptional bring-

roust have.a long talk with you about
this girl and her destiny, Lashmar."
"I am quite ready to discus that
thrilling question. But; I believe she
es fairly provided. for in this house;
and as she le useful to my mother, I
do not see any necessity for disturb-
ing the statue quo."
"ThIs is rather a selfish view of the
queetion," said Nestorius. "I should
be sorry to deprive Lady Lashmar of
an admirable reader, but - there are
plenty of medioere young women in
the world who can read aloud, and I
think MiseeBoldwood is a' genius, and
ought not to waste the best years of
her life in dependence and drudgery.'
"Has :she been cona,plaining to

WILLIAM WENT BACK AGAIN
A good stowy is told of a maze call-
ed William, who is engaged as a
window -cleaner at a eertain big
hotel in London. One morning Wil-
liam, instead of doing his work, was
reading the paper, and, as bad hick
would have it, the manager looked in.
What's this? he said. William was
dumb. Pack up your things and go,
said the maoager.
So William went to the offioe, drew
time money whiela was owing to him,
and then went upstairs and pat on his
Sunday clothes. Coming down to say
good-bye to the other servants, he
happened to run across the manager,
who did not xeeognize him in his best
coat.
. Do a-ou want a job? asked the
manager.
Yes, sir, said William.
Can you clean windows?
Yea, air: You look a handy sort ef chap. I
only gave the last man 22 shillings,
but I'll give you 25.
Thank you, SIT, said William; and in
half an hour he was back in the saMe
old room -cleaning the window this
time and not reading the paper.

The King of Denmark, who has just
celebrated his eighty-second birthday,
is the oldest sovereign in Europe, toe-

taken iato account. King Christian
SS lather more than a year older than
Her Majesty Queen Victoria, who was

of Luxemburg was born on July 24
1817. The queen, however, has been
nearly sixty-theee years on the
throne, whereas the King of Denmark
did not ascend the throne till 1863,
the year in which his eldest daughter

Although there is a martkna
crease in the lumber shipments to
foreign raarkets from thie point, an
obvious reason for this condition Is
found, in the fact that, as most Of
the English buyers make their pur-
ohases before the season opens, mach
of tho lumber oonsumed in the great
fire had been sold previous to that
time and as the lumber requires to
be fairly dry before shipment, there
have, therefore, not been any very,
liege shipments this sumna,r. Nearly

There is no doubt that the great
fire of April last has been very bene-
ficial to the lurabeemen in many
ways. Perhaps with the exception
of Mr. J. R. Booth and the Hull Lum-
ber Company, who were burned out,
all the lumbermen of the Ottawa Val-
ley heve profited to a considerable
extent by the fire. All, in conse-
quence, have realized better prices for
their lumbar, and much stock haat
been sold that was coosidered prac-
tically unsalable. Good piio 1 or
