"Ha, Fitz," he exclaimed, 9 it truer "What?" said Fitz, flushing. "Whet have you heard? Don't say it's too good to be true; don't cast me down, old fellow; you don't know how iny heart is set upon it!" he exclaimed; thinking that Bettie alluded to the un- dersteading between Violet and him. "What do you meant" • "What do .you?" asked Fitz. "Why, this -this -false report that - that Ethel is to be married to that odious fellow, that miserable young money -bag?" "I can't say I've heard," said Fitz, frowning earnestly. "If 1 tleougat there was anything in it, I'd go for my big whip and thrash Min!" At that moment a waiter put a letter ineo his nand. He opened it, and his face grew red with indignation. "Bead it," he said, and thrust it into Bertie's hand, It 'wan iln intimation from the earl that Mr. Wilhelm Smythe had proposed and been accepted, 13ertie, in his passion, could not speak a word. Fitz tore the letter into a hundred pieces, and threw the fragments into the grate. "Cheer up!

"Fitz!" she exclahned, the warm blood irulimle.iing to her face as she sprang to He held her itt bie arms, but would not show any emotion. "Hello, Eth!" he said, "why you've gone pale again! where's that sunaraer rose? I've heard the news -don't tell me any more -IT congratulate M. Smythe when I see him." Her face went paler, and her eyes filled with tears. She crossed her bander upon her breast. ; "I have done right, Fitz, have I not?" she esed, "The earl has toId me all - haw poor we are, and how necessary it is that you and I should saerifiee our- selves for the house. You will not sac- rifice yourself, though, Fitz, will you? There need be no occasion, You will give your hand where you give your heart. Dear Violet." Honest Fitz turned hie face aside to comesl his emotion, "No, Eth," he said, "that wilt be all right." Then, to avert suspicion, he rattled away to the countess, as she came in, in his old etyle, and actually spoke of Mr. Smythe In a friendly way. It cost him something to be deceit- ful, but he° did it, and Succeeded itt blinding them all. The meet . day lie waff particular in his attentions to the ladies, and allowed himself to be inveigled into a game of croquet -a game he detested. In the afternoon he went into the servants' hall and nodded to Ethel's maid. She came out into the garden, and a conversation took place between her and Fitz, which was concluded by Fitz dropping some old into her hand. That evening be was more merry than ever, and not evea a letter from Mr. Smythe, seevieg that he should be down the day following, depressed his spirits. That night, when the counteee and Ethel were seated in the drawing -room, the formee gloating over the approach- ing wedding, the latter inwardly 13brink- ing from and ebuddering at it, Fitz rode over to Tenby and telegraphed the few sighificant words: "Wheat bas gone up."

Ererything had been smooth sailing. - He had commered, so to speak, the; whole world.

'Wilhelm Smythe was. one of supreme confidence. "Be ealm, my dear fellow,"' lie whis- pered, as they were ushered into the drevring room by the obsequious servant, "You will be the husband of Lady Ethel, and 1 shall win that twenty thousand pounds before a month has passed." As he spoke Lady Laekland entered. Shaking hands with the two, she said, with a troubled look upon her face: "Did you meet Fitz and,Ethel? They have gone for a ride, ana should have gorie your way." "No," said the captain with a smile. "We lost that pleasure." Mr, Smythe sighed. "No" he said.

His face was dark es night, and his Ups working with some emotion; he held a letter itt his amid, and when he saw the two men he, 'by a great effort set hie lips with a rigid smile and tried to conceal the letter with a hasty move- ment. "Something has happened!" eicialined the countess. "Not to Lady Ethel!" alreoet Shrieked Mr. Smythe. The earl smiled with despair, "Reed time" he tried, thrusting the letter into the countess' hands.

"One night in malting his cestoraarY rounds he had occasion to visit the patients in the kitchen, who were preparing the eineer. There were seven of them, all big, (Aunty fel- lows, who were believed to be harm- less. The keeper only looked in upon them now ancl again, teethes that hie constant presence was unne- cessary. "The floater. Unlocked the iron bar- red. door ot the kitchen and went in innong the lunatic's, 'There were five large bollere con- taining Raiding water ready for mak- ing the day's dinner for the patients. l'Orie of the lunatics pointed at the boilers full of hot water and, laY1116 hie hand upon the doctor's shoulder, said., 'Doctor, you'll make a fine pot of broth.' Anil the words had no sooner been utteredltban the other stx • madmen sbouted ewa voice of delight, 'Just the thing,' and Seizing the doc- tor, were itt the very act of putting tine into one of the large boilers of scalding water 'when the doctor had the presence of mind to say; "Capital broth! But it would taste better if I took my clothes off.' • "The madmen, with a well of de- light, said 'Yes,' and the doctor asked them to wait a moment while he went and took his clothes off. But as soon as he got out of the kitchen he turned tbe key in the door and 'ordered the keeper to see to the lun- ettes being put under restraint.

(Montreal Herald -Telegraph) The June fix e los in the United States and Canada amounted to $29,348,000, As compared with $24,942,700 In June, 1913, For the first six months of the year the loses aggregate $133.018.280, against .$118, 245,050 for the first half of 1913. The fact that losses on this continent are so heavy in comparison with those in the old world is probably due to less strict enforcement of building regulations on this side of the Atlantic.
