The events already described took place

that Nancy did not feel such keen pleasure

She took good care of Miss Prettyman
during the night which preceded that \dein
but had not yet found courage to tell her
the excellent news with regard to Mrs. Vin-

Miss Prettyman was making rapid strides

" Brave !" echoed Nancy, with a light
laugh. "But then.' have nothing to fear.
My courage has not been put to any severe

"Perhaps you are right," said Nancy, in
a thoughtful voice, but then she added,
" You seem to forget that this sudden reso,-
lution of yonrs will go very bard with
John."
"It is better for him to have, a fortnightni
pain now than to be miserable kill the rest
of his life," a lowered Phyllis.
"It is a pity," replied Nancy, with some
little sarcasm " th t you did not think of
thie when yo force him to ake you to

"Of course it, was, but did I ot tell you
that I am alfweakness and frai ty ?"
" Yes, my dear, yes. Well, I am going

Nancy went off to the hospita , and this
day John Sm th's special nurse hought him
well enough o see her.
" Just Isom in with me," she said to the
girl, "its bee not to prepare him. If you
were Phyllis, t might be better to tell him
that you are c ming. But as you are only a
kind friend, I dare say the excitement will
not be too m ch for him."
So Nancy f llowed the nurse into the
cool, pleasant ward, where, in a corner
nicely sereene off, what looked like the I
wreck of John Smith lay. . •
His face was cadaverous and hollow. His
curly dark hai had been cut off. His hand,
very long and hin, lay outside the coverlet.
He knew Nan y, however, and a smile -
leaped up into is eyes and a faint glow
•euffused his ch eks. He was too weak to
raise his hand, ut his eyes begged Of her to

"Mf dear," fbie said, taking his hand

He tried to speak to her but his voice

• The Egg Situation.
AN ENGLISH DEALER GIVES EIS OPINION Or
• THE MARKET.
• Mr. C. Howe, of the Continental Egg
Company, Glimsby, England was in Mon-
treal last meek on his way borne atter hit
yearly trip to Canada. He has been spend-
ing the past two weeks travelling through
Ontario, visiting the principal egg centres,
and is not at all satisfied with the outlook.
He says that at first he thought the high
pikes of eggs was largely due to a, scarcity
in the crop, but he thinks this view no
• longer tenable. The crop, it was true, was
not very large, but, on the other hand,
there did not appear to be much of a short-
age. Be thinks the whole matter lies in
the hands of the merehante. The season
• was too late to commence with and as soon
as the eggs began to come in the merchants
were eager to get hold of them, and ito the
competition commenced.
Mr. Howe said that merchants did not
appear to fully understand the situation in
England. Prices there were half a cent
• lower than they were last year, while here'
they were a cent higher. Now, England
has the run of all the egg producing centres
of the world,,and would certainly net pity
more for Canadian eggs than for any other
of the same quality. The most highly
valued eggs were the English ones, then
came the French, probably, and afterwards -
the Irish and Danish; Canadians came
next. Canadian eggs were good eggs, and a
good trade could be done in them, but they
had a long way to come, which was; a great
disadvantage; beside. this they were not
quite so large as some of the others. Itwss
the English market that Canadians had to
look to, and if they bought too high for it
they would be likely to suffer.
He found it very difficult to do business
here this year. Prices were too high, end
the curious part of it was that the mere
ehants were determined to fill their vats,
ho matter what it cost. Canadian mere*
ohants, however, usually managed to come
Out the right end, but why they keep up
their present competition in the face of the -
foreign market was a mystery to him.
