ute there was a rush to the foot of the
stairs to see Pamela come down in ber"go•
ing-away" gown. She wore a three -corner-
ed hat and a long green cloak. Pulling one
side of her skirt and cloak out of the way
of a dainty little foot, she stepped slowly
.
down the stairs, such dignity in the upward
poise of her lovely head that, instead of
crushed compliments and tearful embrac-
lugs, the company stood still to look at her.
The carriage drove off in a shower of rice
and heelless satin slsoes. Pamela, leaning
out of the wipdow, kissed her hand to her
mother. As she did so, a face in the crowd
caught her eye. She withdrew her head
instantly, and,the horses stepped on out, of
the square, swung round the corner of Park
Lane towards Paddington Station.
After the incident which I have describ-
ed, it was not to be supposed that such
company as gathers at a fashionable London
wedding should not talk.
Henry Mortimer was fifteen years older
than his bride, Pamela Churchill. He was
well known in two worlds, sporting and
dramatic. Tall, well bred, and easy-going,
there was no sensation he had not experi-
enced. The announcement of his marriage
provoked considerable surprise. It was the
subject of endless conversation, nor was the
interest in any way diminished by the oc-
currence related above. Some time after
the wedding a lady told the story to a few
very intimate friends after 'dinner, thus :
"Of course every one knew why Henry
Mortimer was in love with Pamela. She
was not a bitin love with him. I knew from
her greatest friend that she has always
cared for one man ; I do not know his
name, her friend was too loyal to tell mo
that, but I know he is a wretched creature
full of debts, and with an awful temper.
He had great influence over her, and
every one knows they were most
intimate. She was madly in love
with him. At the wedding, I was
told by the cousin of a woman who was
there herself and saw it with her own eyes,
a wretched -looking man, but a gentleman,
of course, made himself most conspicuous,
going right up to the altar and staring at
the bride so intensely that she turned and
shuddered whenever she caught his eye.
A group of guardsmen pushed him back,
but this made him wild. He slipped down
the side Lisle, and as Henry and Pamela
were going to get into their carriage he
placed himself in front of the door, and
took a letter, which some swear was in
Pamela's handwriting, out from under his
coat and thrust it into Henry Mortimer's
hand. Pamela, with r., slight cry, tried to
get it away from hies, but he pushed her
roughly into the carriage, and with a rigid
face put the letter in his pocket and got, in
after her. My friend's cousin only just
had time to catch Pamela's expression as
she leant back in the carriage. Wasn't it
terrible ? And it is quite true, for I have
heard much the same story from one or
two very ungossipv people. Fanny says
she will never forget that wedding. She
kept the menu of the breakfast."
"Has no one heard anything of the
young couple since ? It would be a strange
thing if, after all this, the marriage should
turn out well,"
"Let me relieve you," said a somewhat
cynical listener to the lady speaker. "I
met a man last night at the Turf who had
seen the Mortimers at Monte Carle. He
was gambling most, recklessly. From this
you will surely infer the worst."
Let U8 go back to the church door.
The footman touched his hat, and jumped
upon the carriage beside the coachman,
who drove them rapidly away from the
gaze of the crowd. Henry Mortimer
caught his wife's little hand, and, powerless
to speak the passion that he felt for her,
looked silently into the depth of her eyes.
"Oh, Harry, at last we are alone 1 Must
we go back to the house ?"
And she pouted playfulry, drawing the
least thing nearer to him. He put his arin
around her, and touched her hair with his
lips.
"What a strange man that was that came
up to US at the door, Henry."
"Yes, poor devil. Let us see what his
paper says. 'Venue Soap --saves rubbing.'"
Henry laughed, and said, "They might have
gone a step further, and said, 'Saves wash.
ing.'"
That Which Counts„
It may be true that it is the first step
which' counts, but not that it is the one
which costs the most. There are times
when the first step is esteemed rather a
'ioroism. It is attended with the waving
Df banners,and the beating of drums, and the
"hip -hip -hurrahs" of the comrades assembled
al give you a good "send-off." They may
not comprehend your earnestness, but for
friendship's sake they cry you "good luck."
Your energies aro fresh, your enthusiasm
strong, and you step off bravely.
But if the counting is calculated accord-
ing to cost, the first steps may not add up
the highest at the final reckoning. It is the
succeeding steps which are the hardest; the
3teps which are taken after the first glow
sf decision has faded and doubts begin to
:orment the soul ; when friends hay
grown tired of hearing of the matter,
ind are busy attending to their own affairs,
with which yours may conflict ;
when the observer is apt to sneer at the
seal he cheered, in company with the
:rowd, awhile ago ; when each step must
oe argued out and proved, and taken de.
;erminately and despite opposition; when
t takes every faculty of your mind and
body to "go ahead" at all.
Those are the steps which cost. Heaven

A SKENDIB
The }Ion. John lizzgeart, Miliinti'r of
Railways and Canald, does not often
speak. He is eoeeutially a business
man, thoroughly informed and prao•
tieal, as his splendid wanegement of
the Intereolonial Railway has demote
etrated ; but Mr. Haggart is, at the
saute time, a gentleman of liberal cul-
ture, and possesses a splendid know
ledge of Carradian public affairs, and
these facts, together with great strength
atid earnestness of speech, alwaye
make him heard with deep intermit by
the members of the 'louse of Com
mons.
The other night he followed Sir
Riehard Cartwright in the budget
debate, and made one of the hese
addressee that has been made in
the House for a long time. After Mr.
aggart got through, Sir Richard
Cart wright'e speech of forty-eight
hours previoue, was a thing of "ehrede
and patches," indeed. The knight
front South Oxford can neither take a
joke nor a porreding pleasantly, and as
Mr. llaggart preserited the various
contradictione and atieurditieri to be
found in his different public utterances,
Sir Richard got exceedingly cross.
TIIE TESTS OF PROSPERITY.
Sir Richard had contended, in hie
recent speech upon the budget, that
the increase in the savings banke'
depoeits, the circulation of the banks,
and the amount of loans and discounts,
were no indication of increasing trade
or proeperity. Mr. llaggart turned
up the budget speech of Sir Richard
Cartwright, when that gentleman was
Finance Minieter, and, much to the
amusement of the House, quoted Sir
Richard's words declaring that these
(sante things afforded the best evidence
of the country's progress.
The lIitslsiter of Rail %rap then
showed the position of the banks, sav-
inge banks 11(1 life insurance business
of the Douir,ion in Sir Richard's titne,
and compared their condition then,
with their condition under Conserva-
tive rule, He showed that in 1874
the banks deposits were over 878,000,-
000 ; isi 1878 they had decreased to
$71,000,000, and in 1891 they were
$149,000,000. Ho then took up the
queetion of life insurance, which Sir
Richard Cartwright, when he was in
power, declared to be probably the beet
teat of the people's prosperity, and this
was the showing : In 1875, which was
the first year for which figures can It&
the total life insurance in force
Was over $85,000,000 ; in 1878, it had
gone down to $84,000,000 ; and in
1890 it had risen to the enor-
mous sum of $248,000,000, Then
the Alinister took the amount
effected each year. In 1875 the
amount of new insurance effected
was over $15,000,000 :in 1878 because
the people were impoverished it was
only $12,000,000, and in 1890 it was
$40,000,000. Comparing 1892 with
1891, the Minister showed from the
etatistics that, notwithstanding the low
values, the increased business and 1.,ros-
perity of the country had made the de-
posits in the banks increase over 819,-
000,000; the increase in the banking
Jenne, as between the same years, was
$7,500,000, and then he took the aver.
age year.in which Sir Richard Cart-
wright was in power, and compared it
with 1802, and this was the result : the
bank deposits in 1892 were greater
than the deposits in the average year
of Sir Richard's time, by $97,000,00o;
the banking loans and discounts were
greater by 885,000,000,
SPECIFIC DUTIES.
Sir Richard Cartwright having stated
the other day that specific duties
were a curse, Mr. Ilaggart road his
budget speech of 1873, in which, as
Furtive() Mi niater, ho anti ounce d the
imposition of specific duties himself,
and declared that, though tiro theory
was practically against specific duties,
the pratice seemed to be in their favor,
and he fortified himself by showing
that the Australian colonies had adopt•
ed specific duties 111 mony Ca6e8, and,
asked Mr. Haggart, "What were the
articles upon which Sir Richard Cart-
wright placedspesi fic duties?
Among them were to be found tea and
coffee, articles used by all classes, the
taxation on which was so arranged by
Sir Richard and his colleaguee, tl.at
the poorest laboring man, who purchas
ed the cheapest quality of tea and
coffee, paid just as much taxation as
the millionaire', who used the finest
qualities that could be had.
T110 M'E1NLEY Bad.,
Sir Richard Cartwright had declared
that the Couservntive Government
were responsible for the McKinley 13111
which,as is well known, increased the
-duties upon Canadian farm products
going into the United States. This
is an old falsehood, that every Grit
clacker has repoated in every consti-
tuency in the country, That Sir Rich•
ard Cartwright would repeat in the

REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE.
Mr. Haggart challenged Sir Richard
Cartwright to place his finger* upon a
single subqantial reduction that could
be made in the expenditure of the
country. Ho paused for an answer
but Sir Richard was too busy writing
to his constituents in South Oxford,
informing them for the hundreth time
"that the Government was tottering to
it\h
sfall.
What
at are theitetnsof our expenditure?
First there is $12,000,000 for interest
on the public debt, oext $4,000,000
for subeirlies to the provinces and if
Mr. Lerier'e policy and the bargain
ho made with Mr. Mercier were carried
out, that would be $2,000,000 more.
Then for jlest offices and other
collections of revenue there was
$9,250,000, uot a man on the opposi•
ton could show where that could be
decreased. Thon for the administra-
tion of justice there was $700,000 ; for
civil government $1,300,000; for In,
dian affairs $1,000,000; for peniten-
tinries $350,000; for legielation $1,000,•
000 ; for militia $1,300,000 ; for
light -house end coast service $500,000;
for maintenance of public works $1,500,-
000 ; there wee $31,000,000 a year and
there were a host of expenditures aim
lutely neceeeary, yet remaining. He
challenged Sir Richard Cartwright, or
any of his associates, to shove where the
expenditure could be made leas than
$35,000,000; it could not be done.
That amount of money had to be raised.
It could be done in different ways
The money might be borrowed, aa Sir
Richard Cartwright had partly done
When lie was in power ; direct taxntion
might be levied on the people as Sir
Richard Cartwright wants to do now
or by indirect taxation, under which
system the wealthy people, who con
e sume the finest wines and who wear the
h votee finest fabrics pays a greater portion of
ted the it, and under which the farmer, who
moved raises his own living and who wears
1891, and uses the products of Canadian
tempts manufacture, pays a very small portion.
