CHAPTER L
.
It was settling day on the Melbourne
Stook Exchange, in the -seond week in Jan-
uary, 1894, and at midday old Joe Kinnoms
walked with uneven rapid strides through
his outer office and 'banged to the door of
his private room as he entered. Next
moment his voice was heard, high and rasp-
ing.
" Time !" he called. ' E":11
In response hie shorthand elerk, a cadav-
erous, pale-ch'eeked youth, approached the
door timieny, He returned in a few min-
utes 'looking even more bilioue than ueual.
" The gusdnor's got ittot ! My word i'11
he ejaculated, as he propped himmelf against
the desk. "1 guees the slump in 41The Lone
Star ' has 't 'im a lateen Ile ain't in to
anyone, he scz."
The eleike gasped at each other mourn-
fully. Old Joe Kinnom,s, with his burly,
huge figure, his laughing, rod fade, staring
eyes, and limping leg, had been a friend to
all of them. ,
His luck, till within the !Mt six months,
had been a bywerd of derisiOn throughout
-Melbourne, Then, suddenly, the tide had
turned, His ' prospecting partner Alee
Johnson had stumbled on "The Lone Star "
reef on t'he road to Coolgardie, had pegged
out the whole claim and in less than a
month Joe Kinnoms had been feted a hun-
dred times, and opened a large office in
Collins street, and was in the full tide of
that fortune which had so long Jured and
baulked him. With the statutorY dummies
to form a company, he and Johnson -were
sole proprietors of "The Leh° Star," and
the shares went booming ever up. The Ex-
change experteIhad reported on it in glotv-
ing terms, and there was ,hardly a man in
Collins etreet who did not clap Kinnoms on
his back, swear they had even' thought him
a good fellow, and craved the pleasure of
drinking his health in a bumper—at Joe's
expenee.
On the strength of " The Lone Star," Joe
had _plunged. His liabilitiee wee° heavy,
but they didn't total half the assets of the
tteasuretrove. Then on the New Yearhi
day his telegrams to his partner remained
unanswered ; a whisper got abroad that th
reef had suddenly panned mit. The rumor
_
was confirmed, and from' twenty-seven
pounds a ten -pound share "The Lone Star '
slumped to threepence with !no buyers, an
" old Joe's luck " again became a proverb.
He sat in his sanctum /Aging blindly at
his private ledger. The figures spelt ruin—
inevitable, Overwhelming. As he thought
of his long life struggle, 1)4 late glorion
hope, his ohe daughter, Laura, a grea
groan burst from him, Aa; if in sudde
mockery _of his thoughts - the voice of hi
daughter rese in the outer office. 1
" Daddy \ not in to me, Mr. Tims ?" she
was exclainiinge " I'll watch it ! I'll see
my daddy,when I like, if the governor and
his wife weep with him !" ' •
Next moment the private door was flung
open and the girl rushed in. Juist over th
threshold the girl stopped short, ber hie
blanched suddenly , at the sight of he
father. ,

Yet the end of four onths fon d her

Only Jos Leslie rema ned her artaer
now. The other two, des airing, ha at the
end of two months sou ht further fields.
In old Jos, however, was a strong t read of

"Joe Kinnom'e luck " bound to urn at
his death, and the indomitable corifi ence of.
his fair partner inspired him with a bound-

He would have been almost roe daliged

beginning to despair, and the day's evente
had accentuated her mood. In all t e little
community there was but one man ho had
been able to disturb her calm purpos . The
bank manager, Jaek Harrison, had f the
firrit fallen in love with the girl' lovely
face, bright ways, and plucky, un aunted
character. He was a son of a .1‘,I lbourne
lawyer, dark, with -a rather stern, d mieat-
ing face, a fierce, black moustache ut eyes
whose black depthe grew strangdy loWing
and tender as his gaze rested on La ra Kin-
noms. He had preposed to her wi h firm
regularity once a month since her arrival.
And on this particular evening he h d gone
so far as to plead her own position ith leer.
But the girl, in spite of the insisten clamor
at her heart, had been adamant. I
" Till the Lone Star " she said, pays a
10 per cent, dividend, 'I'll marry n man."
" But, Laura," he had argued, ta ing the
little hands in his, and gathering omfort
frem the restful, clinging way t ey ilay
there, " with me you will only take nether
partner and a bit more capital."
" That's just it, dear !" !she had (allied.
"If it wasn't for the little bit more °spite'
rd take the partner at once."
And Jack Harrison, for all his pe suasive
eloquence had to rest content w th the
answer with its half promise conce led:be-
neath the frankly blushing face an '
fearless smile.
Yet Laura heraelf was far from , ontent.
The spirit of blue devils had seiz d

and with a vivid bluah dropped site, ng

science to hide her blushes, and she eed
have been afraid. But there was n

She could not hide it from hers lf. The
fact was too exultant, knowing is leve.
Yet she had tried with all her soul to turn
from it, knowing in her loyal you g h art

YEARS OF PAIN.
o...go.o.•••••••••••••
The Experience of Mr. William
Smith, of liawkesbui7, who
Suffered for Many Years
from Kidney Trouble.
••••••••••.••••=11
From the Poet, Hawkesbury, Ont.
Everybody in Hawkesbury knows Mr.
Smith, He came here when the
town was yeh in its village days, as one of
the lumber company's staff of mechanics,
In 1881 Mr, Smith was appointed town con-
stable, and filled that position until very
recently. As is well known to many of Mr.
Smith's friends, he has suffered much from
kidney trouble for quite a number of years
past, and at times the pain in his beck was
almost physically incapable of exeition. He
doctored a great deal, sometimes getting
temporary relief, but the cause of the trou-
ble was nob removed, and soon the pains,
accompanied alternately by chills and fever,
returned. At last he oame to look after him
condition as one which no medicine could
permanently iiid. Indeed his condition
might still have been one of much suffering,
had not Mrs Smith ultimately prevailed up-
on her husband to give Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills a trial. " It seemed," said Mr. Smith
to a reporter of the Post, that it was a
uselees experiment , and yet I was willing
to do almost anything that would bring re-
lief. I had not used the pills long before
there was undoubted relief, more in faet
than I had obtained from any other medi-
cine. I continued their use, and soon all
syinptoms of the trouble that had made my
life one of muoh misery for many years was
gone, I feel that I am cured, and have no
hesitation in saying that the cure is due to
Dr. William' Pink Pills, and I never lose
an opportunity of recommending the pills to
neighbore who may be ailing."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure by going to
the root of the disease. They renew and
build up the blood, and strengthen the
nerves thus driving disease from the sys-
tem. If your dealer does not keep them,
they will be sent postpaid at 50 cents a box,
or six boxs for $2,50, by addressing the Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont,

The Little Girl We Didn't Want
A little girl we didn't want
()MO unto us one day ;
We'd prayed the Lord,that he might send
•A little boy our way.
We thought we'd name him after me,
Our plans were knocked sway
The day the girl we didn't want
Came floatirg froni the sky.
The little gill we didn't want
Looked gravely up at me;
When wo had closed her mother's eyes,
And no one etayed to see—
Looked at me from upon my breast
And, trusting, nestled there,
Not kneeing she had scattered dreams,
That we had thought so fair.
The little girl we didn't want
Hee often sat with me
Beside, a grassy little mound
No others stay to see,
And often in the glad old days,
IVIED peaceful skies above,
We've played along in pleasant ways,
Filled with each other's love.
The little girl we didn't want
Forsook me yesterday ;
Another came and won her love
And carried her away
A little girl we didn't want
Caine unto her and me,
And I've a broken beset and weep,
Nor care who stops to see !

Flokda Freeze.
•
" A freeze," said the girl from Floride;
- " isetjust about s depressing a state cf
things as can be magined, To begin was
there is a kn wlodge that it means great
financial loss, which would naturally nip in
the bud the oat glowing optimism. But
evon if a ' freeze ' carried no desolation in
its wake it would still be a harrowing ex-
perience. Without the least premonition,
you waken ep in the 'morning and the mo-
ment you took out of. your window you
know that a ' freeze ' ' has arrived. The
flowers, fruits and leaves are all exactly as
they were the night before, but their bril-
liancy is enhanced a hundredfold, while
each stem end petal stands in icy stiffncsa
There is an uncanny hush in the air, as- if
the whole world, or at least a part of it,
was under a epell. The very birds aro quiet
for a time, as if they too realized the un-
earthliness of it all. The flower's hectic
blot:3m and those rigid twigs and branches
mean death, but it isn't a natural death,
such as usually falls to the share of leaf and
blosscm. It is as if some mighty wizerd
had put an enchantment over them all." •
" When the sun comes out the spell is
broken ; not suddenly, but gradually, ae
the sun slowly gains in strength. Neither
is it a happy breaking of the spell. . As
each bough and stem thaws it turns bleak
and drops to the ground, no loeger beauti-
ful, and all the mystery of its unearthlinees
departed. It is simply decaying vegeta-
tion, And all day long through the still
air comes the sound of dropping oranges.
So steady is this orange dropping after the
sun is well up that it has come to be the
symbolic sound of a ' freeze.' Some persons
—especially now to orange farming—try' to
save some small part of the fruit by harvest-
ing it as it falls and making into marma-
lade. But it is no use. When once phe
wizard of the 4 freeze ' has put his open
upon our beautiful groves there's no getting
the better of him. The fleet touch of his
icy wand seals their doom, and incidentally
ours. It is no wonder we Floridians dr ad
a ' freeze ' ; it affects our -spirits only ess
than it does our pockets."

Two Stories of Royalty.
Not so very long ago the Prince of Wales
was present at the opening of a large chari-
table institution. In the course of the
ceremony the president chanced to raise his
hat to salute the prince, when to the crowd's
amusement, his wig came off at the same
time, leaving a perfecely bald head. That
the prince had taken due note of the nalehap
wa6 evident eeveral hours later at dinner.
When proposiug the president's health he
lifted his glass, " To the worthy president,
who appears to grow younger, instead of
older, every hour."
English people avow that the Duchess of
York is the stiffest of all royalty. They do
admit that she once thawed out, for when
visiting Ireland her highness was gracious-
ness and benignity pereonified. Shortly be -

fere the Duchess of Teek'n death she and
her daughter were attending a charity
bazAar opening, when the provincial chair-
man took the fioor and began to eulogize OD
the merits of their distinguiehed patroness.
After he had exhaueted his eloquence on
" the gaeat charity and large and liberal
views of the duchees, his attention was
directed to the slender lady at her side and
Princess May had a turn. Rememb'ering
the Duehess of Teck's substantial propor-
tions, the ludicrousness of his remark is ap-
parent, when he wound up a flowery sen-
tence by hoping that the Duchess of York
would " develop on the same broad lines as
her mother." The Duchess of Teck, who
never failed to see a joke, was immensely
amused, and joined the audience in a hearty
laugh.—Correspondenee Caluinbus (0.) Dis-

vinegar. An imperturbable calm and reedy
tact are the two important factors in the
making of a model hostess.

Laughing at One's Self.
Men in plenty are to be found who will for-
give wrong, ineult and even pentane' airs-
lence ; bue few who ever foegive ridieele,
To be made a laughing etock to others, twine-
hows cute deeper to tho quick than to I be
convicted of lyieg or stealing ; just as pick-
ing a pocket or robbing a hen roost scone
to set one in a more contemptible light
than raiding a bank, Men are mightily
given to taking themselves very seriouely,
and want to have others take them 1.0.
They pride themselves on their dignity, nd
if convicted at all, prefer to be convicted on
the evidence of bloodstains instead of chi k-
en feathers, on their coatsleevee. Hence it
is that the way iu which a man etands
mile is so searching a teat of character.
Nat without reason has ib been sai —
" Ridicule is the final teat of truth," for he
truth that has gone through the fire of t
martyrdom, and come out so triumphant as
to turn the la.ugh on the laughers themeelises
as the real fools, is thenceforth impregna le.
Therefore, ono of theefiret lessons a sensi le
parent wilt insist on with his children ill
be that of courage to laugh at themselves,
and to join men* in -With the laughter of
others at their expense. Indeed a more
