"How famOns you have becorn, Mr, Macdonald," she said, offering him her hand; "we are ell proud to say that we know you." "You flatter me," said Ranald, bow- ing over her hand. "No, indeed. Everyone is talking of the young man from the West. And how handsome you are, Itimid," sh said, -in a low voie, leanfng tower *m,and flaahng at him one of her oldtime glances. . "I am not used to that," he said, "and -I can only reply as we used to in school, 'You, too.' "Oh, now you flatter me," cried Meirnie, gayly; "ut .let Ole introduce you to my dear friend, Lady Mary Rivers. Lady Mary, this is Mr. Mac- donald .from British Columbia,' you know." "Oh, yea," said Lady Mary,, with a look of intelligence in her beautiful dark eyes, "I have heard a great -deal about you. Let me see, you opposed separation; saved the Dominion, in short." "Did I, really?" said .Wanald, "and never knew it." "You see, he is not only famous but modest," said Maimie; "but that is an old characteristic of his. I knew Mr. Macdonald a very long time ago.' "Very," said Ronald. • "When we were quite young." - "Very young," trplied Remold, with great emphasis. "And doubtless very happy," said Lady Mary. "Hapity." said Ranald, "yes, so happy that I can hardly bear to think of those days. "Why so?" inquired Lady Mary. "Because they are gone en "But all days go and have to be parted with." "Oh, yes, Lady May. That is true and so many things die With them, as, for instance, our youthful beliefs and nthusiasms. I used to believe in every one, Lady Mary." "And now in no one.' "God forbid! I discrimnate "Now, Lady Mary," replied Mannie, "I want my libn to be led about, and exhibited, and I give him over to you." For some time Ronald stood near, chatting to tin° or three people to whom Lady Mary had introduced him, but listening, eagerly all the while to Maimie talking to the men who were crowded about her. Ilhte brilliantly she talked, finding it quite within her powers to keep several men busy at the same tim,e; and as Ronald listened to her gay, frivolous talk, more and more he became conscious of an un- pleasantness in her tone. It was thin, shallow and heartless. "Can it be possible," he said to him- self, "that ohce she had the power to make my heart quicken its beat?" "Tell me about the West," Lady Mary was saying,Ranald came to hi self.' • "If I begin about the West," he re- plied, "I must have both time and space to deliver myself." "Come, then. We shall end a cor- ner," said Lady Mary and for half n hour did Raneld discourse to her of he west ,and so eloquently that Lady ary quite forgot that he was a lion nd that she had been intrusted with e duty of exhibiting him. By and Maimie found them. "Now, Lady Mary, you are selfish, for so many people are wanting to see our hero, and here is the premier wanting to see you." e "Ah Lady Mary," said Sir John, "you have captured the man from Glengarry, I see." "I hope so, indeed" said Lady Mary; "but why from Glengarry? He is frten the west, is he not?" "Once from Glengarry, now from the West, and I hope he will often ceme from the West, and ne will, no doubt, if those people know what is good -for them." And Sir John, skill- fully drawing Ronald aside, led him to talk of the pelitical situation in British Columbia, new and then put- tinna, mtestion that revealed a know- ledge so full and accurate that Ranald exclaimed suddenly, "Why, Sir John DRS.

It did him geed to look into the face of the great Macdonald Elmira once more, and to hear of his deep, steady voice welcome him home. It was the face And the voice of a man who had passed - through many* a sore battle, and not without honor to Ininelf. And 1 it was good, too, to receive the wel- come greetings of his old friends and to feel their pride in him and their high expectation of him. More than ever, he resolved that he would be a man 'worthy of his race. His visit to the manse brought Min mingled feelings of delight and per- plexity and pain. The minister's wel- come was kind, but there was a tinge of sef-complacent pride in it. Ranald was one of "his lads," and he evidently took credit to himself for the yotmg man's success. Hughie regarded him, with reserved approval. He was now a man and teaching school, and before •committing himself to his old-time devotion, he had to adjust his mind to - the new' conditions. But before the evening, was half done Ronald had won hini once more. His tales of the West, and of how it was making and marring men Of the nation that was being built up, and his picture ef the future, that he saw for the great Dominio, uneonsciouslyirevealed the strong manhood and the. high ideals in the speaker, and Aughiefound himself slipping into the old t attitude of de- votion ,to his friend. But it struck It ----- the heart dol' . you mea n to see themarks of many a long day's work upon the Alice of the woman who. had done more for him than all .- the test of the world. Her flock of little children had lain upon her a load of cane and toil, .which added to the burden she was alreaujoe trying • to carry, was. iiroving more than her deli- ..cate frame -could,. bear. There were lineonon her face that only ivearizies often repeated cuts deep; but there were other lines there, and these were lines of heart pain, and as Ronald watched here closely, with his heart running over with love and pity' and indignation for her, he eaught- her frequent glances toward her first born that spoke of anxiety and -fear. "Can it be the young rascal is bringing her anything but perfect satisfaction and joy in. return for the sacrifice of her splendid life?" he said to himself. But no word fell from her to show him the secret of her pain, it was Hughie's own lips that revealed him, and as the lad talked of his present and his future, his impatience of control, his lack of sympathy to all higher ideals, his determination to please himself to the forgetting of all else, his Seeming unconsciousness of the debt heeowed to his mother, all these became easily apparent. With difficulty Ronald restrained his indig- nation. He let him talk for some e- tin and then welted out upon him. "Not at all(, not at alt," replied sir John; and then, lowering bi* voice. to a confidential tone, he added,`You are the first man from that country that knows what I want to know." And once more 'he plied Ranald with questions, listening eagerly and in- teliigently to the answers so enthusi- astically given. "We want to make this Doininion a great empire,' said Sir John, as he said good bye to Ranald, "and we are going to do it, but you and men like you in the west must do yofir part Ranaldrwas Much impressed by the premier's grave earnestness. "I will try, Sir John," he Said, "and I shall go back feeling thankful that you are going to show us the WAY." "Going so soon?" said Maithie, when he came to say god by, "Why I have seen nothing of yotrand I have not had a monteneto offer you my congratula- tions," she said, with a significant smile. Ranald bowed his thanks. "And Kate, dear girl," went on Maimie, "she never comes to see me now, but I ern glad she will be so Ranald looked at her steadily for a moment or two, and thentsaide quietly, "I am sure I hope so, and Harry is a' very lucky. chap.' "Oh, isn't he," cried Maimig, "and he is just daft about her. Must yo go? I am so sorry., I wanted to talk about old times, the dear oid days.' The look in Maimie's 'eyes said much more than her words.' . i said Ranald with an easy, frank simile; "they were dear days, in deed; I often think of them. And now. I must really go. Say good by to De Lacy for me." He canie hway from her with an inexplicable feeling of exultation. He had gone with some slight trepidation 1 in his heart to meet her and it was no small relief to him to discover she had Jost all power over him. "What sort of man could I have been, I wonder?" he asked himself; "an ' was only three years ago." Near the door Lady Mary stopped him. "Going so early, and without saying good by? she said, reproach fully, "I must leave town to -night," h replied, "but I am glad to say goo by to you." "I think yoh ought to stay. I am sure his excellency wants to see you.

"Do you know; Hughie,"- he said, and the fire in his eyes seemed! to burn into Hughie's, "do you know what sort of woman you have for a mother? And dit you know that if you, should a la live to be undred years, and denoted eevry day of your life to the doing of her pleasure, you could not replay the debt you owe her? Be a maneHughie. Thank God for her, and for the op- portunity of loving and caring for her," The night of his first visit to the _ manse Ronald had no opportunity for any further talk with the minister's e wife, but he came away with the re- d solve that before his week's visit was over, he would see her alone. On his return home, howeven he found wait- ing him a telegram from Colonel k Thorp, mailed from Alexandria, an- • nouneing an early date for the meet- _ ing of shareholders at Bay City, so significant self." "Indeed he has. Now, can't you stay for a few days? I want to see more— vee all want to hear more about the West." "You will never know the West by hearing of it," said Ranald, offering his heed -"Good btj," she said, "I am coming." . "Good," he said, "I shall look for YOU.,, Aes Ranald approched his hotel, he saw a inan that seemed oddly famil iar, louhging against the door, and as he drew near he discovered to his as- tonishment and joy that it was Yan- kee, . . "Why, Yankee!" he eclaimed, rush- ing at him "how in the world did yot; come to he here, and what brought von? "Well, I came for you I guess. Heard you were going to be here and were comin' home afterwards, so I thought it weuld be quicker for you to drive straight ocross than, to go round by Cornwall so I hitched up Lisette and came right along," "Lisette! /You don't mean to tell me? How is the old girl? Yankee, you have done a fine thing. Now we will start right away." "All right," said Yankee. "How long will it take us to get home?" "'Bout two days easy goint I guess. Of course if you want it, I guess we an do it in a day and a half. She will do all you tell her." "Well, we will take two days," aid Ranald. that he found it neceitsary to leave immediately after the next day, Which was the Sabbath. It was 'no small disappointment to him - that he was to have no opportunity of opening his heart to his friend. But as he sat in his Uncle's seat at the side of the pul- pit, from. which he could catch sight of the minister's pew, and watched the look of peace and quiet courag,e grow upon her face till all the 1ies of pain and care were quite smoothed out, he _ felt his heart fill up with o sense of shame for all his weaknss, and his • soul knit itself into the resolve that if he should have to walk his way, bearing his cross alone, he would 'seek the samehigh spirit of faith and pat- ience and courage. that he saw shin- ing in her gray brown eyes. After :thee service he walked hoine with the minister's wife, seeking op- portunity for a few last words with her. He had meant to tell her some- thing of his heart's Sorrow and dis- appointment, for he guessed that knowing and loving Kate as she did, she would understand his depth of bitterness. But when he told her of his early departure, and of the fear that for many years he could not re- turn, his Itart was smitten with a great pity fee- her. The look of dis- appointm.ent and almost of dismay he could not understand 'until, with diffi- culty, she told him how she had hoped that he was to spend' some weeks at whoittnhe hini. and that Hughie might be much "I wish he could know you better, Ranald. There is no one about here • to whom he can look up and some of' his companions are not of the best." The look of beseeching pain in her eyes was almost more than Ranald could bear. "I would give my life to help you," he sand. in a voice hoarse and husky "I know," she said, simply; "you 'have been a great joy to me, Ranald, and it will always comfort me to think of you, and of your work, and I like to remember, too, how you helped Harry. He told ine much about you, and I am so glad, especially as he is now to be married.' Says Corns Lift Out : s • Without Any Pam "I guess we had better take a pret- e early start," said Yankee. "Can't we get off to night?" in- uired Ranald eagerly. "We could get ut ten miles or so." "Yes," replied Yankee, "there's a ood place to stop, about ten miles ut. I think we had better go along the river road, and then take down hrought the Russell Hills to the Na - ion Crossing." In half am hour they were off on heir two days' trip to the Indian ands1 And two glorious days they ere. The open air with the sugges- ion of the coming fall, the great oreste with their varying hues of green and brown, yellow and bright red, and all bathed in the smoky pur- ple light of the September sun, these all combined to bring to Ranald's heart the rest and comfort and peace that he so sorely needed.

At the meeting of the shareholders of the British-Americant Coal ' and Lumber Company, :held in Bay City; the feeling uppermost in the minds of those present was one of wrath and. indignation at Colonel Thorp for he still clung to the idea that it would be unwise to wind up the British Col- umbia end of the business. The col -1 ones speech in reply was a triumph of diplomacy. He began by giving a detailed and graphic e.ceount of hia trip through the 'province, lighting, up the narrative with incidents a ad- venture, both tragic and comic, to such good purpose that before he had finished his hearers had forgotten alt. their anger. Then he told a what, he had seen of Ranald's work, emphasiz- ing the largeness of the results he had obtained with • his very imperfect equipment. He spoke of the high place their manager held in the ns- teem of the community as witness his visit to Ottawa as representative, and lastly he tu4ed upon his work for the men by means- of the libraries and reading-room.Heri he was inter- rupted by an impatient exclamation on the part of one of the shareholders. The colonel paused, and fastening his eye upon the impatient share -holder, he said, in tones cool and deliberate:. "A gentleman says, "Nonsense!" I confess that before my visit to the West should have said thc'eame", b • I want to say right here and now* that I have come to the opinion that it pays to look after your men—soul; mind and body.
