A' task lay before him—the news

could be received, andthe answer
was "'Nies."

that the little child brought by the
strange lady to Susan Rivers was no
other than Daisy. They recognized
her. Every shadow in doubt was
cleared up. Lord Lisle's daughter
was found at last.
A somewhat garbled statement of
the case went abroad, telling that a
mistake, now rectified, had been
made, leaving everyone wile read it
quite undecided as to whether the
detective who managed the business
of the late Lord Lisle Was most to
blame. No one understood it clear-
ly—it was a nine -days' wonder, and
then died away, some people think-
ing it as well that the mistake was
not discovered until after the death
of her who had been "Miss Lisle."

She was loved and admired as

was that of a good and refiele wo-
man; The frivolitiea of faehion did
not engross her; gayety did not ab-

the young officers will not svoi.k. un-
less eompelled to do so, that "keen -
pees is out, of fashion" seed that it
is not "Correct form."
HAVE NOT EDUCATION.
The committee declares that malsy
officers do not possess common ele-
mentary education, and plaintively,
protests that officers ought at
least be able to express themselves
clearly and COneisely in their own
language." The report condemns the
systems of both Woolwich and Sand-
hurst, where education le "far from
satisfactory, the instructors having
no inducement to teach the cadets!,
still less to work."
With the view of diminishing tia
expeuses of ofticei's belonging to
cavalry regiments, the report re-
commends that polo to-urea/tents,
regimental coaches and keeping
hounds be forbidden.
ABILITY SHOULD COUNT.
Perhaps the penultimate pare -
graph is the most importatt of all:
So long as mediocrity is permitted
to pass muster," says the committee
and signal ability meets with no
substantial recognition, it is useless
to hope for any valuable reeults
from verbal amendments to tam re-
gulations. Nothing but inducemente,
in the shape of certain reward for
good work, either in peace or war,
can raise the standard of knowledge
through. the eornmissioned ranks."
The cominittee, therefore, recom-
mends an "honest system of promo-
tion by melt, following up on tests
honestly eondected and honestly re-
ported on."
COLONIAL COMMISSIONS.
The,report plainly bints that offi-
cers eat hardly be expected to work
so long as the present system of ad-
vancement through soeial influence
is in vogue, or so long as efacieteel
has nothing whatever ina do with
the selection of officers fox' desirable
a•ppointeuents,
The committee recommewas among
other things that more" conunissions
be offered to the colonies, and that
officers be compelled to know either.
French or German,
shade of sorrow fell over the fair
face of Lady Lisle. Her husband
looked at her and gave a deep sigh.
"It was sortie one we knew long
since," he said, gently—"someone
who was very unhappy, and who
died,"
Lord and Lady Lisle never told to
their children the story of the un-
happy girl who for so short a time
henborne their name. They never
forgot her, even on that bright Jame
evening, when the sun shone epon
the blooming Revilers, when the birds
sung gayly, and the rippling waters
of the pretty fouataina told of the
fair summer, when the air, full of
fragrance, whispered of youth, love,
and happiness—even then her mem-
ory fell upon them like the shadow
of a. passing cloud.
Lisle Court is a happy home now.
Fair children bloom there; Lord
Lisle is beloved and- etteemed by all
who know him. Earth seems to
have lavished her most precious
treasures, Heaven its ehoicest gifts,
upon, Lord Lisle's daughter. ,
