Dr. Clifford kept both carriage and riding horses for all his party, for he thoroughly believed in that glorious ex- ercise, and had been delighted to find Mrti. Errington so bold and acomplished a rider, "No use mounting you on the girls' quiet palfreys," he had said, and had bought for her use a beautiful, very high-spirited bay mare justly named Ficeffoot. The doctor, too, was proud of his stable, and would not have had a second-rate horse itt it at any price. -"Everything good," said he, "or hone at And it was no wonder thnt every one on the road to Epsom looked after the eavaleade—the elegant earriage with its nobles grays, ite twe lovely oecupents. and well -mounted groom following, mei itaetwo outriders.

The riders dismounted, the horses were consigned to the groom and coachman, and the two younger girls, in high de- light, began unpacking the hamper, to see what dear old Roolie—the cook - housekeeper, wife to the coachman, be it sald—had proviaed for master and ser- vants; that for the latter in a separate hamper, with which the two men, after first attending to their four4oOted, charges retired to a little distance. Luncheon was merry enough; even Blanche was almost consoled.. that at present there was no one to flirt with, by the novelty of the gay scene—the very medley of people and sonnds—dis- tent views of Aunt Sallies, Punches, cheap Jacks, ehows, bands playing in and out, red -kerchiefed gypstes, fruit - sellers; venders indeed of everything, from gold (?) watches to penny whis- tles. "We really ought ot make some bets or other on the race!" cried Blanche, when presently they were ,preparing to embark again, as seafaring Christine Isaanidd—r:elon't you think so, Uncle Ro- land?" if you like, my love; after the fashion of tho old Irish song of "Limer- ick Races," rn take you.

"What a' long sight you have got, child!" exclaimed Dr. Clifford. "Are you sure?" "Quite." Her heart was throbbing with joy. "And he sees us. What a splendid Arab he rides-" The doctor threw up hie hand, beckoning, and the rider instantly broke into a hand gallop, and in two minutes reined up, bending to his saddle- bow as be bared his head. • How gracefully supple, how very haadseme he was, and well matched to the mag- nificent Arab horse he rode! . "Now, indeed, I am in paradise!" he said, as he shook hands all round—and how close that clasp on 'hers only his wife knew. "I told Rahmnee to look out for you while he was waiting for me with nty horse when I was ia the paddock." "And didn't he Bet us -there?" asked Blanche, with a coquettish little pout.

"Here espeoially, as you say. Where is Frank?" "I don't know exactly now; but he told me a little while back that after you left"—a glance indicated the word "paddock"— 'Matador went up aw, fully close to Kingfisher." This last was all in a lower tone, under cover of the two girls' eager talk over something that had eaught their attention. He did not care if Mrs. Er- e:intim heard, and he kuew Fate did not. She was a woman of the world, and "knew its ways," as he had put it.

"Then Kingfisher is the winner of the Derby?" said Clifford. "Isu't that it, St. Maur—that signal?" "Yes, doctor." Save for that one glance the man was as cool, as easily unconcerned as if he had lee en as free of the least interest in that race as the Arab he rode, in- stead of having just missedthe very edge of a grim precipice. "And whieh is second, then?" asked Biatche,*eagerly. "Hercules, and Matiolor third," said St. Maur. "Ily Jove! Fele, you were right about it," said Northcote, with a half laugh. "Glad. I followed your lead. I wonder what your Indian thinks of it all." "Do ask him,' said Miss Leroy. His master turned in the saddle. "Well, Rahmnee, and what think yiau of the Derby day?" The Hincloo's whole face lighted up at his master's voice. "Burra salaam, sahib; it is grand in Rahmnee's eyes." "Now we are going," said the doctor. "I don't know what you young fellows intend."

IMP COMING TO- CANADA, Advent of the Olivers an Argument Against keelprocIty, One of the otrongefit argumezite against reciprocity with the United atatee is punished by A well-known American writer, Inert Hubbard, who instances the mie of the Olivers, of t4outlt Bend, Indiana, in the presenta- tion of his -contention. Thia firm of plow manufacturers has recently bouglit a large tract of land at Hamilton, Onta- rvielnfloeVafeetral4l-ani)d13,111Lseel8;gtell-,6 bftitriltaign; and machinery feting over $1,000,000. This is only a mere beginning, for be. • fore the shipping of plowe commences the investments for materials, etc., will increase, according to the writer, about twenty-five fold. Thai means that the firm will build. up and maintain a popu- lation equal to it city of 25,000 people, The tendency of trade is towards deecn. tralization, he claims, and as a big fee - tory gets so big, when It is enlarged, it must be enlarged as a unit—that le, an 'entire new plant must be built, devil - eating the first, The Olivere had to duplicate their South Bend plant, and while its location would naturally be at their home town, where they control an iramense water power and. own 1.000 acres of land adjoining their preeent site, 'Air. Hubbard points out tbat, for emin. ently sound and safe reasons, a site In • Canada is choeen instead. Thee° are that while Canada has only one-tenth ot the population of the United States, its available agricultural area is fully as large as that of the Republic. Canada needs plows, and has the money to buy them. But she ean't buy the South Bend make, on account of the prohibit- ive tariff. • While the plivers never before eater - ed. to Canadian trade,"because they could net, they had a very large bust. ne44 'With South America, Europe and the Orient. The Canadiaft manufac- turer, ?Sir. Hubbard says, is very much better situated to take care of a for- eign trade than the American manu- facturer for two reasons; First, the *United States has no mercbant marine, and, second—to quote Mr. Hublbard's words—"Wa have barred the products of the world in it good. many instances, and the countries that we bar in turn bar us." This the writer defines as commercial reciprocity. It is contend- ed that Illuesia, for instance, is, in Can- adian .custom house parlance, "a favored nation," and tht goads made in' Can- ada tater Russia free, but that a high Russian tariff bars United. States goods. The writer also poipts out that in the making of ploughs six ingredients enter: Wood, iron, paint, labor, enter- prise and capital; that the United States is getting short of wood, of which Canada has plenty, aud that the • Canadian lumber'which is needed across the line, is kept out by' the Am- erican tariff. Canada, too, it is held, • has large iron beds, practically un- touched, and. the coal to smelt it. Foodstuffe, too, are •cheaper in Canada than, in the United States, and this is a cheapening factor in the labor mar- ket. Mr, Hubbard finds that the hard- headed business men who are comtng here with capital and enterprise are not dreamers or theorists and are sim- ply following the American invasion of • our fertile agricultural regions, and he reaches the conclusion that: "Your capitaliet and man of enterprise knows what he is doing..e.e.He figures that with the tariff 'between Canada and the 'States as it is, the natural re- sources of Canada practically untapped, Cnadian investments are eminently wise and safe. 'Next, in ease of any disturbance or change in tariff relations either up or down or wiped out entirely, with free trade between the countries, he is eta; .safe, "The °livers are not politicians, lob- byists or lawmakers. They are finan- ciers and manufacturers. "They accept things as they are anti they adapt themselves to them. "And the fact is, the Olivers could hold theft own against the world. When Andrew Carnegie said that American iron interests did not require protee. tion, he invited a laugh and the obvious statement, 'you didn't say that untii af- ter you sold out.' But Andy is right, Just the same. "And what do you say about Ameri. can tariff laws that drive capital and enterprise out of otir country?" • "Well, then," replied gay Tommy, while his smile grew broader yet— "The very largest size, as you'll al- low, Is out there in the barnyard, all fasten- ed herd, and tight — The hooks end' eyes that grow upon the cowl" At the Yarmouth Y.
