He had. taken a step, however, which

ly on to the end. Like a man engaged
in the commission of a crime, he resolu-
teirevaded reflection on the course he
was pnrsuieg, though be could not pre-
vent his thoughtfrom ptayiug at
distance, as it were, round the forbidden
point. In incessa,nt labour he endeavor-
ed to escape self examination, indem-
nifying hitnself with long evenings of
delicioute companionship, when con-
science, which should then have stung
the sharper, was laid to sleep by the all-
powerful blandishments of the hour.
•
After a while the marriage day *as
fixed, and the preparations were begun.
The fact wee whispered about, and
reachedthe ears of Philip's housekeeper;
but, strangely enough, that ready tongue
of hers for once was mute, though her
feelinga were anything but placid, to
judge from her stormy face.
One evening, after a laughing dispute
about Home intended matrimonial ar-
rangements, the bride elect suddenly
remarked—
"By the way, Philip, what was the
nature of that promise yon made your
late wife? I have received a curious
anonymous letter about yon, which I
suppose I ought to show you."
Philip's face grew white; he was not
able to affeckeinconcern, the onset was
so unexpected and so deadly. He re-
mained silent, breathing hurriedly, like
a man in pain.
Miss Westwood. was startled when she
observed the effects produced by her
words, and said—
“I am sorry, dear Philip, if I have
grieved you by roy question, but I have
indeed received a letter containing some
vague summation or other against you.
I give not the slightest credence to it,
however ; neither do I ask you to ex-
plain anything, if to do sowould be dis-
agreeable to you. I can trust you,
Philip.”
nYoti have trusted me, Harriet, more
than I deserve," said Philip; "let me
look at the letter,"
She handed it to him; it contained
but a few words, penned evidently by
an illiterate person, and ran thus—
"You are about to be married to Philip
Stourtore I bear. You have no right to
hien. Ask him about the promise, the
oath he took to his wife who is dead.
God will visit you both."
There was no signature. Philip read
it thrice, and lingered over it, as though
endeavoring to take some resolution in
hie -own mind. He looked at Miss West-
wood at last, and said—
"Could 3 ou marry me! Harriet, if you
knew I had broken a promise such as
the letter mentions ?"
She trembled alittle; hut after it short
pause, smilingly said—
"Well, perhaps I could, provided it
were not a very bad case."
"A death -bed promise—an oath?" said
Philip.
The lady was silent for a moment,
and her eyes began to fill with tears.
"What have you been doing, Philip?
What do you mean ? Must you break
an oath in marrying me ?"
"I moat," groaned Philip. "I promis-
ed my wife on her death -bed not to
marry egain. She had no right—I feel
it now -oto impose Finch a burden upon
me. I bad no right eo to pledge myself;
but I did. It is irrevocable; no one can
relieve me of it."
eI will not mitery a man who has
perjured himself. You have been cruel,
very cruel to tempt me so far as this.
I cannot marry you now, Philip," she
repealed ; *and covering her face with
her hands she sobbed bitterly and left
the room. Philip, to, stole away,
crushed and miserable ; in his own
eyes, hopelessly dishonered.

If Philip had been less scrupulously
honorable, if in his heart he had attach-
ed as little weight to the promise made
to his wife as his recent course implied,
he need not have seen his hopes fall in
rain about him as they now appeared
to do. it was not that he lacked the
ingenuity to avert it. It had crossed
his mind, of course, to deny the vague
accusation contained in that miserable
scrawl, to impute malice and falsehood
to the writer. Who was to know what
transpired between him and his wife at
snch an hour ? ' And -Miss Westwood
would have been a lenient judge, al-
thongh in her secret heart she believed
him. guilty ; but when confronted with
his offence, conscience reasserted itself,
and constrained him to admit the
truth.
Philip went straight home to his
study, and there set down. By-and-by
he got up hastily, unlocked a secretaire,
and drew out something which glittered
in the dull light of the lamp. It was a
pietol. He placed it on the table at his
elbow, and turned his pale cheek and
absent eyes towards the fire. Did he
see faces there, as we all do occasional-
ly when imaginatien is busy and
eridgment in abeyance ? Perhaps he
did. The gentle face, it may be, of his•
dead wife— earnest, loving, deprecating
the evil deed he meditated. The faces,
perchance, of hie children, touched. with
dread and wonder, appealing to him
not to leawdthein helpless to the scant
mercy of the world. However that
might be, a change came over his face
before long which argued a better
mind, and he put the shining,loathsome
weapon back.
On the morrow, though his reflections
were bitter enough, the despair which
had given birth to the dark thoughts of
the previous night no longer haunted
him. It was true there was an end
forever to his hopes for Harriet West-
wood, but now at least he could face

date gives a detailed statement of Win-
nipeg's growth in 180. From that
statement we learn that the„ imports—
that is the imports from Great Britain
and foreigti countries, have increased
from $2,537,431 in 1881 to 08,222,128 in
1882. The imports from the edstern
'provinces have run up toild 0Q0,000,
making a showing of inter -provincial
trade which illustrates the great value
of the Northwest to the older proitinees.
The exports are as yet confined to furs,
and amount to about half a utillion.
But next year this will all be changed,
and the eiport of wheat and flour will
be large. The inland revenue has in.
creased from $131,863 to $185,276. The
transactioris in real estate have amount-
ed to between ten and twelve millions
of dollars, one firm of real estate agents

investors,. no less than it quarter of a,
million of dollars. The buildin.g opera-
tions during the year have reached the
large figure of $4,147,712. The post -
office figures . are simply marvellous.
The emount of money orders paid'
reached $650000, against $215,213 in
Toronto and $183,b61 in Montreal, while
ehe postoffice has reached the position of
third in the Dominion in point of
revenue, the sale of stamps amounting
to $70,000, against $53,139 in Hamilton,

Butler on Woman Suffrage.
Governor Bntler, of the United
States, recommends a partial experi-
ment in the woman suffrage line, by a
law allowing ladies to vote in municipal
elections. But as the question after all
must depend on the wishes of the ladies
themselves, he proposes that as a pre-
liminary they will be given the oppor-
tunity to decide whether the y will ac-
ceptor reject the right to vote.
He does not desire, even in this ex-
pressioreof sentiment, to subject the
fair voters to the annoyance and vul-
garity of primaries and polliug places.
So he gallantly suggests that all above
21 shall be registered, and shall send
their votee through the pest office to
the regulat election officers.
This is a good proposition. The only
objection is that the votiug lady may in
her own home be under undue influence
from her husband. By tile way, in the
proposed registration, we couclude
General Butler's meaning to be that
the registered lady shall be simply gen-
erally described as "over 21," and that pries or to Seaforth P.O. ALLAN 110138oN. 774
