For instance, that wreck off Itrigaae,n last neptember—over eight months ago. I knew that you were at Brighton that week, and came up to town tee very morning after—for you came to me to meet a bill. I knew you well—that you would be out in the gale and head straight for any dan- ger — also that you woold not choose to be lionized, etc., for a daring sescue, such as the un- known there perpetrated—ergo, between ourselves I've been certain that you are the man who played that part last Sep- tember, Am I not right now?

"I read your thought, and if it had been cor- rect, you would, not have trapped me that way. I know nothing at all about' her, except that else was young, a slight, girlish form in my arms—a lady by her hands; but if that same stewardess stood here now I should not know her. I never even saw her face, and as I went abroad directly, I heard little more of the wreck. You're too clever by half, Ken, I give you my word of honor." "This tithe, perhaps," said Ken Morley, quietly. "Now your name, please, on this bill, and here is the cheque." St. Maur came to the table, bent over, and, taking the pen, signed his name, pushed the bill to its owner, and took the cheaue. "Don't lose hundreds out of that to- night," said Morley, as Falconer put the costly paper into his pocketbook.

"I expect so," said Morley, "for even in the few times he has been here from you it in evident that he half—or quite —worships the sahib. You'll think me a very curious, inquisitive old fellow, but I've often wondered—and meant to ask you—why you keep that darkey inetead of a European valet, and how you picked him up and got such devo- tion.' "Enfin," said Falconer, smiling amus- ingly, though a slight color crossed his bronzed cheek, "you think that thereby hangs a tale—perhaps one of your lines written in white letters. Well, it's simple enough, since you care to know, and your questions are soon answered. Why do I keep Ralunnee?—primarily, because we are attached to each other — he to an extent of devotion and dog. like faith, that I believe even a hint of• parting would break his heart—in fact, he would probably kill himself—or me — 1 don't know which.

Heaven help them both!" CHAPTER IV. Ten minutes to eight, or thereaboute. Pit, gallery and circle at the Vaudeville were filled; but the stalls and boxes, ex- cept the "paper" people—who had come in before—were only just beginning to receive their occupants. One of the stalls in the last row before t•he pit was still vacant, and. for the hold- er of that stall one person. standing up now in the place exactly behind it, watched with an eager anxiety that could scarcely have been surpassed by a girl witching for her lover. It was not a girl, however, but a youth, though the height, relight build of form, and deli. mow of feature were more feminine than masculine from a European standard— net from an Eastern standard, though; for one accustomed to judge of Indian natives would have pr000uneed the young Ilindoo one of the beet types of the higher castes of his race. Erect, weal -built, with that bright look and free,dora of movement and bearing so totally different from the cringing ser- vility and furtiveness of the coolies and other low castes; very handsome, too, this son of India, albeit an even unusu- ally swarthy specimen of a very dark race. His attire was a kind of compro- mise between Duet and 'West, for, though his trousers were, if rather loose, Euro- peen, his headgear was a red fez, and for a coat he wore a dark -blue tinge long enough to cover the knees, ubttoned from throat to hem, and circled round the middle by a shawl -sash of very deep red like the cap. More than one eutious and admiring glance rested on the picturesque figure, as he stood up, with his gleaming, black eyes fived on the st:111 entrance, till sud- denly a quick breath, a flash of light over the swart face, told that he had caught sight of the tall, graceful form he sought, and a man next to him whis•- red to ,his wife on the other side of "See, that's the one he's looking out for—that handsom-e, bronzed fellow com- ing this way. He's been in India, plainly, and this India ngentleman knows him evidently—yes, sure!" Into the vacant stall came Falconer St, Maur, with a smile and a nod as his at- tendant bent forward with a hand to his forehead in salute, and low, glad: "Ah, sahib, time not long now!" "Did you think I was lost, Rahmnee? It is long to wait, but you, chose, this yourself, instead of the circle, to be neat. me.. Seen anyone I know yetc" "No, sahib; not one." Often the two spoke IIindoostanee; but Snowbail eould speak thoroughly good English and French, and was proud of the former especially, only, when much moved or -excited, it was apt to hecome 'rather broken, and helped out with native words. Now the band ceased, the curtain rose, and the audience hus•hed its hyara. tongues, and settled down to attention. The play was a new one, and opened fairly well; but St. Maur had little heart for it now. The interview with the money -lender had opened old, deep wounds, never more than skinned over, all the deeper because self-inflicted; rous- ed up bitter memories, never more than half slumbering, and knawing remorse, never ugite silenced under the most ale sorbing interest or most reckless excite- ment. His physieal eyes were fixed on the actors therein. His bodily preeence was here, leaning beef in the Iliff was here, leaning back in the stall with folded arms; but his seal — the man's own very self --was far away— back, back, through the vista of eight Tong years—back to a time when, far from stainless though he might be, he had still not sinned so deeply against himself and against the yottng life, :scarce numbering sixteen summers, that he had bound up in his owe. And where was it now? What had Iso done with it? The act drop fell, and the man came back to the present, to where he was, with an absolute mental wrench. It was an effort to lift his eyes and look over the house, the boxee; but a mom- ent after his glance was arrested at ono of them near, the stage on the second tier. "By jove 1" he muttered, "what two lovely girls! And fine-looking fellow with them, too—their father?" Ile watthed the party with a half -lan- guid interest—partly because the girls were Be fair and animated as they talked to their father, partly beeause he laughed, nodded, and turned to break to some One on his right, half hid be- hind the lace curtain—a lady, Faltoner could Bee, through that vexing veil, young and slight, and of graceful pose —quite enough in itself to rotate Si aftsur's attention, "You're attentive to her, ray friend," he thought.

He noted that, as the evening wore on, the delicate petals curled, drooped in the incongenial atmosphere, and started when he saw the wearer glance down at Its withered beauty with, ah ! such a sad smile' and a little shake of the head, that for him spoke a volume. He had boon in the east; he knew much of the poetic language of flowers; and it was one more stab of remorse to read this withered moss rose—love slighted, neglected. Had not hers been so, cruelly, and by him? In the interval before the last act, he leaned back, and half turning his head, said very low,_ in Hindoostanee: "Rahmnee„ do you see that box to our left en the second tier, the second from the stage, with that very beautiful wo- man in it?" "Yes, sahib; I saw before!" "Listen, then; Leave before the crowd, get to the grand entrance, watch for those people, and follow them; find out where they live, who they are, every- thing you can; above ell, who and what that lady with the rose is. I must kuow that," he said, 'between his teeth, "or I shall go mad 1" "Rahmnee is the sahib's slave, he will obey," was the Indian's answer; and the moment the last word of the play was spoken, he rose and glided out through the crowd like a serpent. At the same time his master went out, threw himself ink, a hansom, and was driven off to his chambers in South And - ley street, He locked up the cheque in a drawer of his secritaire, task ep some letters which lay on the table, flung them down en - opened, and paced to and fro the spa - poises drawing-room—travelled to and fro. To be still a moment was impos- sible; his blood was at fever heat, his heart on fire. Who was th-at man? His manner had been attentive but familiar—as from an elderly friend to a young and beautiful wonian not - las daughter; or just such as an elderly hus- band some time married, and naturally In public avoiding the sit:video of elder- ly. lover, might show, or so it seemed to this miserable man's tortured brain and heart, • "How dare he treat her so?" he said, fiercely. "Look at him, Myhre' his hand on her shoulder to call her attention— perhaps this very evening he will call her wife, take her In Ms arms, kiss her lips. Heaven above! the very thought maddens me.

"Well?" demanded his master, with feverish excitement, "what news—quick, boy—who are they?" "Saleb, the gentleman is a richretired physician—one Doctor Clifford—and he lives M Hyde Peek Gardens, No. —; the two younger ladies are his daughter and niece; and the beautiful leder, sahib, lives With them to take care of the young ladies—Mrs. Errington she is called.

Comedy and Tragedy are indeed twins, and the nature that is dramatic enough to be fully alive to the latter is also keenly, even painfully., alive to the for- mer. The flash of 'melt comedy in this cool, perfectly meant offer of darkest tra- gedy struck thehearer through all the tempest of peek -ens with irresistible force, and he bike lap laughter.

Don't walk up and down the floor with a cross, restless child. Nothing can be more demoralizing to the little one, and it is a serious tax upon the mother's strength and nerves.

It seems absurd to tell people to keep tile door of the ice chest ehut, but it is a fact that Woe after time, even in careful families, the door of one or more of the compartments is bit on a crack. This, of course, lowers the tempera - tura of the chamber and wastes ice rapidly. It is no economy, for the same -ea- son, to use to little ice for the size of the refrigerator. The temperature rises, 4141ough lack of sufficient ice to keep it down, and hte next piece that is put in goes Much faster than it should, 11 18 better to get a large block of ice several times a week, as large a one as your refrigerator will hold, then a small one every day, . As to ice water, it is not neceseary, no matter what people say, and near- ly all doctors agree that we would be much better without it, It would certainly take a great deal less ice, to abstain from. its IWO. A water tank pieced side of the ice will eturnish water cool enough for healit Where people boil their water, they often place it in bottle in the ice chest, cooling it this way. 4 • THIS HINT MIGHT SAVE YOU MONEY Very often the cheapest and poorest production yields meat profit.

The Idea of flow is generally associatg ed with the of, of liquids and gases, and indeed the term fluid is usu- ally restricted to these two states of matter. Nevertheless it is beginning to be un- derstood that nearly every substance is capable of a movement corresponding to the idea of flow, and that such a thing as absolute rigidity does not exist. The flow of solids occurs in such me- chanical operations as the drawing ot wire, the manufacture of drawn tubing, the production of various shapes M the forming press and In the spinning lathe, and all these are well known to the en- gineer. To the general observer it is ap- parent that vve ,have in the mountain glacier an example of continuous flow of an apparently solid •mass, and that too without rupture or disintegration.— Cassier's Magazine. 4 • -- UNSIGHTLY COMPLEXIONS.

Negotiations for what is undoubtedly the largest milling consolidation that has over effected in Ontario have lust been completed In Toronto, and following them the official announcement is made of the Company, Limited, with a capital of 1,o51:000g70001za.tion of the Maple Leaf Milling The new company has taken over the properties of the Hedley Shaw Miling Company. Limited, and the Maple Leal Flour Mills Company, Limited, and In addition secured from the new interest that became identified with the Company 81,000.000 additional cash capital, which besides permitting of the erection of a. modern 6,000 barrel mill and a million bushel elevator and storage warehouse at Port Colborne wili supply the new Company with additional workirag capital. It is understood that Mr. Cawthra Mul- wilt, Toronto is associated with Me. 1 Wi- ley Shaw of the Hedley Shaw Milling Company, Limited, and Mr. D. C. Cam- eron, President of the Maple Leaf Flour Mills Company, Limited, in the organiza- tion of the new concerti. The share capital of the new Company will be 66.000,000, divided into $2,600,000 01 7% Cumulative Preferred Stock, and $2.500,000 of Common Stock. The Company has no bonds, either issued or authorized. The preferred stock will, therefore, be In a particularly strong position as It is preferred both as to assets and dividends, The ability of the Company to easily earn the 7% Cumulative Preferred divi- dend on 62,500,000, of preferred stock is indicated by the net earnings of the old Companies, as per certificate of Messrs. Price, Waterhouse & Company, which shows that from September 26th, 1908, from which date the plants of the Maple Leaf Flour Mills Company, Limited, were In operation, to August 20, 1909, these net earnings amounted to 6218,843.00, and from August the 21st, 1909, to February 28th, 1910 the net earnings of the Companies amounted to 9160,793.00. This would be equal to over 13% on the preferred stock, and the payment of the 7% dividend on that stock would leave slightly over 61 Lor distribution on the common stock, The New Company's earning power will be greatly Increased once the new mill now under erection at Port Colborne is completed. The entire plant Of the new Com Deny will have at Port Colborne will In the most modern of its kind In Canada, the equipment of the new Mill being fully equal to that of any other mill in the world, Such a site, it is believed by experts will make the Maple'Leaf Milling Company. Limited, an important factot right from the moment the mill is in operation at that point, inasmuch as bY its geographical position, it will enable the new Company to lay down its flom almost at any point in Canada, at all Atlantic Sea Ports, and on the British and Foreign markets, considerably cheaper than tan be done by any othei Milling concern. During the past few years the farmers of Ontario have been getting furthei away from the cultivation of wheat and tieing more extensively into stock raising, and this should give the Port ColbornMili e uactsv.ery ready market for its by. prod All of the old officials who made tho Companies, so auccesful In the past, wilt in addition to retaining their financial positions in the new Company, retain their active Interest in its management.
