Vane was down again almest immedi- ately, her face nearly as pale RS her outdo's. It Was but a few minutes be- fore the carriage appeared, yet to Stuart they eeented hems. He tried to laugh at the absurdity of the report, yet a pre- sentiment of trouble posseeeed him. "It cannot be, it cannot aei" Vane heard him mutter again and again; and then he approached her. "Tell me once more the messages she Sent," he said hurriedly; aud Vane breathed the tender falsehoods in bis ear, touching his agitated troubled spin. It with their beating balm.

When turning:te his cousin, he said, "Drive 1 it. Vane." With a. puzzled brow Sir Douglas watelied them disappear—he could ,not understand Stuart's apparent attach - Ment to this selfish worldly girl— then with a sigh, turned wearily in -doers. The next day was that fixed for his law- yer to come down from London, and be had much to occupy his thoughts. : He sought the squire's room, and, in a chat over by -gone years, lost for awhile shis anxious, restless expression. Stuart sat silent beside his cousin as they bowled along the lane to the lege; and Vane glanced now and again at his pale, pained face, wondering, when he knew the truth, what, his op- inion would be 'of her. The village reached, he broke the eil- ence by asking Vane to drive straight to the little cottage by the Weald; and, without a word, she complied. She drew up the ponies on the brew of the hill; and Stuart, heedless of bis aching arm and weakness, alighted, and walked down to the gate he knew's° well. It was just such an afternoon as that on which he had parted from Margery, and the me- mory of her beauty and sweetness lent strength to his faltering steps and fed the eagerness and desire In his heart. He pushed open the gate and enterea. The window -blinds were drawn.'the door— pushed with Ids one able hand—defied every effort. He greW faint and cold, and -leaned against the door-poat for a mo- ment, while the roses nodding in the breeze seemed to whisper to him a sense of lila loss in all its bitterness. Margery was gone! But why—and whi- ther? He turned and walked down the garden, his head drooping dejectedly on his breast. Margery gone! What could It meant Why had she left him, with- out a wend to sign] in the very moment of their joy and happiness? The truth did not come to him even then. There must be some mistal.e he tried to con- vince himself. A hundred different ans- wers to the ,strange question came to him He closed the gate behind him and turned away. There was a inan standing at the gate of the next cottage, and at first Stuart determined to pass him; but a sudden impulse seized him, and he stopped and. spoke with forced lightness. "Ah, Carter—lovely v:eather for the elem.! la this true that I hear about Morris t" 'Good afterecion, quire. Hope I see' you better. It were a stiffish fall. as you had. Morris, sir? What?

"Well, sir, it were, rather; but you see the death of his missus fair knoek- ed hint over, andhe made up his mind iii e. minute." "And he las gone alone ir asked Stuart, every nerve in his body quiver- ing. "Oh, no, sir! He's took Margery with him; and right sorry are we to part with her, I can tell you. She were just eweet lass. Have you heard that Sir Hubert and my lady ain't coming home, after all, sir? Perhaps that's why Margery went, 'cos she belongs like to her ladyship—doh't she, sir?" Stuart murmured a few vague words in reply, and then passed on. "Good arternoon," said Carter; and then, as he watehed the young nifth mount the hill, he muttered, "Thet there fall ain't done the young squire no goed; he looks the ghost of hieselLa 'Vane sat ilent as Stuart came to- ward her; even her eold, 'calculating heart was touched at the sight of his aistress.

"This is indeed bad news! 1 am sorry, versorryfor you." "Thanks, Mr. Stuart." Bright loosened Stuart's hand, and with a respectful salute to Vane, passed on, something like a tear twinkling in his eye. Vane loked straight ahead, pretending not to see the quick, hurried way in which Stuart bent his head for a mo- ment. Victory was hers, she told herself —victory! Suddenly Stuart looked up. "Turn round, Vane, and drive home; it is all over now—so much the better!"

The Met essential toward. the Recur - ate use of Englieh is to know the real meanings of words, and then to choose the right one to express the idea, What- ever is expressed to Engliehemealting people should be in the English tongue, with no foreign phrases introduced. It is always better form to the the fa- miliar names of familiar things and ideas, to use shuttle Englo-Saxon words that belong less to literary language than to living speech. and are more readily understood, that the longer words of foreign origin. A short word saves time for both writer and, reader, and, our ordinary speech should. not be burdened with the high-sounding words necessary for the treatment of most subjects remote from ordinary events and simple feelings. Let uattherefore, "read" the morning paper, and let the pedant "peruse" it. Let us "see" the beauties of the sea, and sky, and not "discern" or "witness" a sunset. Let us "build" a "house" and make of it A 'home,' allowing a crown prince to "erect" a "residence." Let us "oversee" our household, not "super- vise" it, Why should we drop so hearty a word. as "kinsman," adopting the vague and misty substitutes of "rela- tion" and "connection," forced upon us by elegant people? Nothing is gained and much is lost, for the latter are both general, terms. Men have relations of various kinds, and connections are of still wider distribution, whereas a man's kinsmen are „only those of his own blood. —New York Times. 0.8 TO MAKE SURE.

TRIED TWO: DOCTORS WITH NO BENEFIT • Then Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Wrought a Lasting Cure Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have made so many remarkable' cures in serious eases that people are liable to over- look their value as a tonic for the blood and nerves in debility and general rundown conditions, That such conditions are the cause of much misery and unhappiness is fully known to those who suffer from them and the ;mad of curing them is ite vital as is relief iron diseases with higher sounding names. We com- mend the following statement to any one suffering from weak, thin blood, or shattered nerves. Airs. Mae Ala- cabe, Gleichen, Alta., says: '-ek few years ago I became run doitn, not seriously itt, but just tired and weak all the time. I consulted our family doctor, who gave . me tonic after tonic, with no effect. I gradually got weaker and weaker until I could not do ray work. Then I went to another &dee, who pronounced. my case one of deoline, and recommended a wann- er elimatg, with complete rest-. This 1 could Tot afford, and I began to worry and fret until I became a complete 'nervous wreck. One day, while visiting a neighbor, an old gen- tleman who was taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pine for partial paralysis re- commended them to me. I sent out and got three boxes, but without much faith that they would help me, kit before they were gone 1 noticed an improvement, and 1 eontinued tak- ing the Pills, constantly growing stronger, until I hall taken seven or eight boxes, when 1 WRS completely cured. 1 could do My work as easily as ever 1 had done iu my lifeaand the doctor told me that he could scarcely believe the change in me, as ha had not had the least hope that 1 would be strong again. Now I always keep the Pills on hand, sad if 1 feel fatigued or weary take them for three or four days, so as not to get run down/', Sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, from The Dr. Williams Medicine CO., Brockville, Ont. et. AMALGAMATION OF FLOAT GOLD A patent Inc a process of amaIgama. tion of float gold has been taken out in France. By a kind of capillarity parti- cles of gold are not wetted in washing, and remain, in spite of their density, on the surfate or hi suspension, and they also resist the action of mercury. To prevent this capillarity it is sufficient to add a caustic su.bstance to the water to clean the gold, moans atamonia, lithia, potash, and soda, or salts of these alka- lies. The gold particles not wetted by pure' water are reached by alkaline li- quids and obey the law of gravity. The solution hag also a favorable influence on the bath of mercury, keeping the sur. face clean. 44 0 SOREST CORN REMOVED WITHOUT PAIN, QUICKLY.

AT ALL GOOD GROCERS T1/40111=1:. EDDY Company, Hull, Canada IN THE PHILIPPINES. One of the Hottest Fights Li General Funston's Career. In order that I might be able to exer- cise some influence on the firing line as a whole, and not get mixed up in a local fight where I could aeci only one or two-etempanies'I remained about two hundred yabehindrds ehind the line for the time being. Here I was joined by the well known correspondent, Mr, Jas. Creelman. I had sent Sergeant-Major Warner and Trumpter Barshfield away to carry orders, and was glad to have company. The noise was so overwhelm- ing that it was difficult to think, for the whole brigade was fighting as hard as it could and the woods were filled with the rear. Oreelman and I sat on our borses for a while, and then unani- mously dismounted, the idea teeming to strike both us at the same time. Com- panies E and H had struck the woret of it, being opposite the most formid- able trench, and Oreelman and I were directly behind them. A natural ten denoy of the Filipino, and for that mat- ter, most people, to ehoot high made our position one of the warmest places I have ever been in. Only once, and that at Caseorra, in far -away Cuba, had I seen bullets thicker. The two companies were right on the river bank, and as the stream was not more than forty feet wide, and the Filipino trenches were on the opposite bank, the two firing lines were not more than fifty feet apart. The river looked deep, but ae yet our people had not overcome the comity's fire sufficiently to allow the matter to be tested. Captain A.dna G. Clarke, now a cap- tain in the regular army, was in com- mand of company H, and I could see him standing erect in order to better direct the fire of his men, who were lying down. In a short time I saw him erumple up and go down with a wound from which I believe he has not fully recovered to this day. Majors Metealf and Whiteman were cicee up to the river bank, their two battalions being most hotly engageti.—From "up the Railroad to Malolos," by Brig. -Gen.

Nature has endowed Norway with im- mense stores of power which were but little utilized before the advent of hy- dro -electric plants, but which are now making el that country an important .centre of various kinds of manufacture. A tow estimate of the total available water -power of Norwayels from 5,000,000 to 7,000,000 horse -power. The manufac- ture of nitregen from the air will this year employ from 170,000 to 180,000 horse -power, and in the course of a few years 11 19 hoped that 300,000 horse- power more will be utilized for this pur- pose. Electric smelting of iron and steel promises to become an important indus- try in Norway. The country has the peculiar advantage of possessing a great number of lakeslying in deep valleys, with contineted outlets whieh render them easily convertible into reservoirs. se. • The flies that are now in your kitchen and dining room were probably feasting on some in- describable nastiness less than an hour ago, and as a single fly of- ten carries many thousands of di- sease germs attached to its hairy body, it is the duty of every housekeeper to assist in extermin- ating this worst enemy of the hu- man race.
