PORK PACKING IN BOND.
A petition is in circulation among
members of the. House for presents
tion to the Guvernmeut requesting
that the representatiuus of the pot k
peckera-of Ontario for a relaxatiou of
the quarantine regulations fur the ail•
mission of hogs from the "United States
to be slaughtered in bond,be not
granted. It is pointed out tht if this
privilege be allowed it will injuriously
affect the values and business of the
Canadian farmer in hug riiein.. ns
well as destroy the reputation Canada
now enjoys of producing hug product:,
much superior to those exported from
the United States, It is strongly
urged that the reprosontations of the
pork packers be not heeded.

MR MASON'S VIGonous LETTER TO AN
OBNOXIOUS AGITATOR,
J. Herbert Mason, of the Canada
Permanent, has written this letter to
Eraatus Witnan :
" I have received a circular to which
your name is attached on 'The Con-
dition of Canada' accompanying a long
letter from Dir. Farrer, of this city,
both referring to ' ' the unrest' existing
in this country.
"Permit me to say that in my judg-
ment this 'ninth magnified unrest is
very much more attributable to you,
Mr. Ferrer, and a few others of like
tendency, than to all other causes com-
bined.
" I do not propose to discuss the
question with you, but I take the op-
portunity of, expressing the deep ro-
gret I feel that one, whom in many
• respects I esteem, can find no better
Ir use for his activity than embroiling
his native country in an .agitation
which, if successful, means civil war,
and the destruction of its prosperity.

" \\'ILFITL MURDER."
THE FREEMAN BROTHERS INDICTED
BY THE CORONER'S JURY FOR THE
MURDEROF CONSTABLE RANKIN.
Chatham, Ont., Feb. 3.—The inquest
over the murder of Officer Robt. Ran-
kin was concluded here to -day after a
long and tedious session, the whole
wek.
The most important witness to -day
was Detective Alex. McDonald. He
entirely corroborated the testimony of
Officer Dezelia, and vividly showed to
the court, with an axe in his hand,
how he saw Alex. Freeman butcher
poor Rankin's head. He identified
William Henry and George Freeman
as the two who in a fiendish manner
▪ afterwards cut the officer's face and
head in the horrible way it was found.
George, he said, used the cordwood
stick to hatter in the skull, and Wil-
liam Henry a grubhoe to complete the
murderous work. He also identified
Lemuel Freeman as being in the serape.
The blood -bespattered club and axe
found at the Freeman ranch were pro-
duced and McDonald identified them
as the instruments the murderers used.
The other evidence to -day was un-
important.
The jury retired about 4:30 and after
being out 25 minutes returned with a
verdict of " Wilful murder" against
the trio, George Freeman, Wrn. Henry
Freeman and Alexander Freeman, and
against Lemuel Freeman as being an
accessory tanotike murder.
The verdict has given entire satisfac-
tion, and when the jury returned, the
large court room was jammed to the
doors, hundreds being turned away.
The accused took the matter cooly,
and never evidenced the slightest
emotion.
Lucinda Freeman, the mother of the
murderous trio, was (10001ssc•c1, and
JerryFreeman, her husband, released
in $000 bail, to appear on Monday for
his preliminary trial. The prisoners'
preliminary trial before the magistrate
is to be pushed on rapidly. They
will appear before the P. M. on Mon-
day morning, when they will be coin -
milted to stand trial at the Spring
Assizes, April 12th.

HER SENSATION.
"I wonder if I am never to have a sensor
tion like other people ! The theatres are
full of sensations and so are books, but I
am exactly like one of Howells' heroines ; I
do nothing but eat and tie my bonnet
strings, varied by buttoning my gloves—of
course one must wear glovea.'
Miss Blenkinsop was speaking to "Dear-
est," and "Dearest" was Sophia Higgin-
bothem. She and Miss Blenkinsop wore
just coining home from the )matinee one
foggy afternoon.
"Dear, if I had your bonbons and your
checkbook and your roses, I wouldn't be
sighing for a sensation," Sophia answered.
"All the sante I get desperately tired of
it. It's just what mamma did and grand.
mamma did, and I shall have to do for
ever and aver, I suppose. The heroine in
the play this afternoon had a perfect pleth-
ora of novelty. Of course I don't want
ridiculous things to happen, but, on, for
something besides Anstey Beverley's bou-
quets and having to decide what dress to
wear !"
The two girls had reached the steps of
the Jacquerie, an up town family hotel, de.
servedly popular in San Francisco and
somewhat informal. Here it was that Miss
Blenkinsop had come when site bid mamma
and papa good -by, They had sailed for the
continent with her invalid elder sister, anti
so the big house on California street was
darkened and shut up..
"Dearest" could not be prevailed upon to
enter, so they stood talking for a moment,
Then Bliss Blenkinsop, with her unfailing
regard for the conventionalities, thinking
they ought either to come in or pass on,
stooped and kissed Sophie ever so lightly
on the cheek with that graceful, inoffen•
sive and positive hint that she knew how
to give to perfection and turned in at the
doorway. Then the weary look settled
down upon her face and. the tired stroll, so
habitual with her, took the place of the un-
usual animation she had shown a moment
before.
In the idiomatic dialect of to -day Miss
Blenkinsop was "a thoroughbred"
Miss Blinkinsop never dreamed every one
was envying her her money and her lot in
life. She'supposed people had everthing
they wanted anyway. If they hadn't, why
didn't.theyl,get it somehow ? She was tall,
with R clean length of limb, a low sweep of
bust. long lines to her back and a quiet
dignity of carriage. Her features had that
aristocratically pinched look which is the
envy of the •'composite" American girl,and
her small, well shaped head was set like a
racing filly's. Tito noiseless fall of her
skirts, the dull, old colors that she wore,
the unpretentious yet faultless "fit" of her
clothes were all characteristic of her. Mrs,
Morgenstern had called her hands "clawy,"
but then Mrs. \lorgenstern's own were
pudgy and broad—the trade hand—and
were covered all over with sparkling rings
for breakfast, and Mrs. Morgenstern dress•
ed in green and yellow, like an omelet garn
ished with parsley.
Miss Blenkinsop stopped at the desk in
the lobby of the Jackuerie and asked with
her inimitable and slightly drawling accent,
"Is there any mail for me, Timothy?"
"No, ma'am," answered Timothy. And
there was about this brief dialogue some-
thing of the red tapeiness that there is
about a court presentation.
"If any comes for me kindly bring it to
rry room," and Miss Blenkinsop lowered
her tired eyes and passed on. She had
reached her own room when she noticed to
her surprise that her door was partly open.
The key, too, was in, the lock, and Miss
Blenkinsop was positive that she carried
the key in her own pocket. It was just
possible that the chambermaid was there,
but the rooms should always be in order
by 10 o'clock or half an hour after she was
dressed and had left them, and it 'was late
in the afternoon.
Miss Blenkinsop's step was naturally
noiseless, for the pile of the Jacquerie care
pets was deep and 'soft. She advanced
slowly at first without any thought of eau•
tiousness, Then Miss Blenkinsop sudden-
ly stood perfectly still upon the doorsill as
her astonished eyes saw a Chinaman stoop-
ing over a drawer in her dressing table.
There was the brass buttons, the loops of
braid, the dark blue blouse with its labs
rinthine pockets so convenient for a thief,
and the long, sinuous sweep of pigtail:
It did not take Miss Blenkinsop long to
make up her mind. She felt in some way
that there was a judgment on her for hav•
ing given way to that contraband thing, a
desire for sensation. Bitterly would she
have cursed her folly, except that she was
not a bitter or a cursing person. She was
only aware of a distinct repulsion for what
was in store for her.
She had a vague idea if she sprung to
the door and shut it suddenly, violently,
the thief would get up the chimney of let
himself out of the window, as the robbers
did in plays, and if she did it at all she
wanted to clo it well. If she called for help
out of this most disagreeable of situations
he would shoot down the tangle of halls
and vanish before she could be answered,
and what was infinitely worse than all if
she gave the alarm she might have to go
into the police court. It was melodramatic
and horrid.
All at once Miss Blenkinsop made up
her mind. She had never "crept stealth-
ily" before in her life, elle had never am-
bushed anybody, she had never done con-
spicuous or dreadful things,but she must do
this'
She inwardly thanked heaven that she
still had her gloves on as she reached in
after the cue of the kneeling Chinaman.
Then she picked it up deftly, softly pulled
it out toward her and slammed—yes,
slammed—the door upon it, turning the
key in the lock, and gave a little hysterical
laugh and wondered why her cheeks were
so hot.
There was a muffled, squirming sound on
the other side of the door. "Perhaps it
would he just as well if you kept still,' said
Miss Blenkinsop. "Please don't say you
don't 'Babe,' for you do, you know."
An angry voice cried through the panels,
"Lotee glo 1"
"1 can't, really," said Miss Blenkinsop.
It took all the presence of mind Mies
Blenkensop could summon to her aid to
hold the gre0ay half yard of braid in her
hands. She was afraid to let go for fear it
would slip into the room, where she had no
doubt that the baf}ledChim,man was pulling

ho.

and pained reproach that she mused about

only to come to the mortifying conclusion
that "they" were too subtle for her.
The fact, that she had let a criminal out
at large on society did not sit with any
great uneasiness upon Miss L'lenkinsop's
conscience. The great thing was that
affairs had been so beautifully simplified.
Perhaps, too, this would teach him a lesson
in regard to the mutability of human exist-
ence, especially in the line of stealing.
"lt certainly was rather nice of me to let

"Who is it ?" Charlcote stopped to ex-

He was sitting, sad and sorrowful, in his
studio that evening, when the door softly
opened 'and Patty carte in. He looked up.
"The very person I was wanting to see !"
said he. "What do you think, Patty, of
our giving up this expensive studio floor
and moving around the corner to the Cib-
bals Flats ?"
"Of giving up your studio, Charlcote?"
"It's too expensive to Keep up, child," he
said, impatiently. "Times are hard ; busi-
ness is dull. I daresay 1 can manage in an
ordinary room, with a respectable north
window to it, and a few draperies."
"Haven't you any money, Charlcote ?"
He shook his head.
"But I have 1" cried Patty, with a little,
gurgling laugh. "A whole hundred dollars
--enough to pay the rent awhile longer ;
and there's a fair prospect of earning more.
See 1" and she held out a roll of bills,
"A hundred dollars !" echoed TVilley,
looking earnestly, to make sure that the
little greenish -grey things were not fairy
money to melt away under the human gaze.
"Why, where on earth, child, did you get
a hundred dollars ?"
"I earned it," said Patty, quietly. "I
have sold some pictures."
"Some of mine—without my know-
ledge ?"
"No—some of my own pictures,"said she.
"I am Bellamy Bellaire. I have a little
mite of a studio on the top floor of Mrs.
Garuett's house, next door, where I have
been secretly working and toiling, when
you thought 1 was visiting my mother or
shopping down town. To be sure, I made
a bungle of it at first—you saw one of my
'early attempts' in the closet, a few weeks
ago—but I kept resolutely on , and now I
can sell the pictures as fast as I cut paint
them, At good prices, too 1"
He looked at her as if he were in a
dream,
"You 1" he repeated, "you Bellamy Bel-
laire 1 Why, you insignificant little dar-
ling 1—with a forced laugh—"I have even
been talking of imitating your style—of
copying your pretty mannerisms, to • catch
that shy fish, the Public Taste ! You, the
girl I laughed at—you, whom I considered
barely up to cooking -stoves and crochet -

He walked once or twice up and down
the floor ; then he stopped in front of her.
"Fellow -artist," ho said, formally bow-
ing his head, "I salute you ? Dear little
guardian angel of a wife," kissing her, ten-
derly, "I thank you for this aid in time of
need. Never before have I known how
deep and how precious was w woman's
heart 1"
And happy Patty scarcely knew whether)
to laugh or to cry.
"Can you spare me a little money,
Charley, dear?"
Into the dim, artistic light of the studio
came Patty Willey's head like a gleam of
flax•gold sunshine. Mr. Willey roused
himself with an effort and an impatient
frown,
"Money ?" repeated he with a mirthless
laugh. "How strange it is, isn't it, that
money should be such an important factor
in the world? No, Patty; 1 haven't any
this morning.
The artist's wife came a step or two
further into the room.
"Hasn't Mr. Framer paid you for that
'Berry Gathering' yet?
"Paid mo, child? He has concluded not
to take it at all 1"
ty Willey signed softly and creitt back
into the kitchen.
She would not buy the partridges now.
Cold beef, with a salad, would do very well
for dinner. And the oranges could be dis-
pensed with. She would have liked to pay
the fish man's bill, but there was no hope
for it—he must wait a little while longer.
Tap ! tap ! tap ! again at the studio door.
Once more Charlcote Willey started from a
reverie.
"It's the model, Charley," said his wife.
"Shall you want her to -day ?"
"No; not to -day."
"Tomorrow then?" -
"No," with another impatient shrug.
"I'11 let her know when to come. How
is a man to afford models, at a dollar
an hour, when he isn't selling any pic-
tures?"
Patty came back to the studio present-
ly. She put her hand on the artist's shoul-
der.
"Charley 1" she hesitated.
"Well ?"
"Couldn't I pose for you ? I would keep
very still."
"Yost ! Well, upon my word," he jeer-
ed, "a little chickadee of a woman like
you ! \Vhat sort of a Roman empress
would you make ? No, Patty, no. I'm
obliged to you, all the same, but it won't
work."
"Charley," cried the little woman. in de-
spair, "why did you marry me?"
"Because I felt in love with you, I sup-
pose."
"No, but—why didn't you marry an au-
thoress, or a designer, or a prima donna --
or someone who could help yon earn
money ?"
He smiled.
"Run off', Patty, and rock the cradle,"
said he. "We'll have money enough and
to spare when once my style of art is ap-
preciated."
Patty stood a moment, as if there was
something else that she wanted to sat to
him ; but he hon turned toward his easel,
and her courage failed her.
Half an hour afterward Mr. Willey went
up to his wito's room. He was painting the
interior of a money -changer's shop, and
chanced to bethink himself of a string of
old-fashioned gold heads which her grand-
father had bequeathed her.
"It will be the very gleam of old gold
which I want," thought ho.
He knew that she kept it in a Japanese
box on the closet shelf, and—
"Goodness me 1" cried Patty, taking her
