his eyes. But those were the days of
their early married life --days beforef
the great Barham Case in which he
had'suddenly made his name and laid
the foundation of his great fortune.;
Up to that time he had merely been'
an energetic junior who was regarded
as likely to do something great some
day. He had been earning a steady
three thousand a year. Now he could
earn ten times that amount if he
worked hard enough. But his small'
grey eyes were tired • in the early'
morning, and his massive face, which
would have been ugly if it had not
been for the strength of it, was heavy
and solemn.
He liked to eat his breakfast in
silence, or what he called silence. This
meant that he was to speak when he
wanted to, and that Ruth, his wife,
was to answer him. But there was to
be no chattering on her part—about
trivial matters.
It was queer that Ruth was not in
the least afraid of him in those days.
She was conscious of her own recti-
tude, of the five years in which she
had been a very good wife. She had
sold herself to him There we no
getting over that She had married a
man whom she had not loved. At the
time of the marriage there had seemed
nothing horrible about that. She had
not been in love with any one else;
she had been very poor, and she had
had ambitious. Alexander Bradney, a
rising barrister, had fallen violently
in love with her. She had liked kern—
had admired his strength of purpose
and his honest straightforward char-
acter. She had not been in love with
him, but she had told herself that in
time she would be in love with him.

Not that he was at all the sort of man
to prop up a newspaper in front of
him. Save for a glance at the Causel
List he rarely looked at the papers'
until the evening. On the way to his:
chambers in his cair he would sonie-i
times read the Law Reports, but more,
often be would keep his mind fixed;
on the work of the day.
A successful man, Sir Alexander
Bradney--euccessful in a profession
where it is hard for a man to earn his
living until he has labored :for many,
yeers—a profession wherein success
itself means redoubled toil—a life al-
most of slavery. Alexander Bradney,
used to say that he worked even in
his sleep.
A man often looks his best at the
brealdast table. There is a freshness
Omit him—a clean smartness that
wears off later on in the day. But Sir
Alexander was not one of those men.
He certainly looked healthy enough,
and there was no fault to be found
with his clothes, but there was little
life in him.
Ruth Bradney, sitting opposite to
him at the table on this december
morning, remembered the days—
gcarcely four years ago—when he had

Sunshine All the Year.

the veldt when 1 live the average
number of days per annum without

Landon Daily Mail.
Three hundred and elicty-two days
of sunshine in e. yam.. Those are the
official figures taken over a period of
ten years.
On my farrn, I have often known
one whole week to pass without ones
seeing a cloud.
From the moment that the rim of
the red sun comma up twer. the distant
hills to the moment when one sees in a
naming sky, there has not been one
seeond without sunlight—not half a
second of shade or shadow.
Dwellers In the Dominions are as
a rule a cheerful people, and I am
sure that their happy temperament is
in great measure due to the sunshine
in which they live.
Eucalyptus trees have grown on my
farin thirty feet in four years; and
even Mae trees—and pines aro no-
toriously slow-growing—have attain-
ed a height of ten feet in five years.
And they were only six incises high
when they were planted out.

deep and dangerous wound often

slight surface injury is often intensely
