She could not read; her uncle's words
had sent her thoughts back to that first
vivid season of her real life, when she
had drunk so deeply of pleasure and or
pain.
St. John Lisle was within'a few miles.
She might possibly meet him in her
rambles or her drives with her uncle,
and how should she feel if they stood
face to face ? Her heart answered,
"Slightly curious, but quite unmoved."
Yet, to her infinite satisfaction, she telt
a profound conviction that Lisle eould
never again stir in her emotion of any
kind. She might even be amused with
his cool, crisp talk, if he deigned to
bestow any of it on her; she had even
fcfrgiven herself her weak credulity, and
could smile at her youthful folly in ac
eepting Lisle's veiled attentions and ar-
dent though indefinite expressions of ad-
miration, as meaning anything real. It
was all so completely past—though little
xaore than three years had elapsed since
they had met and parted—that she felt
as if she could meet exactly as though
ethey had never met before. The man
sese had loved so shyly and warmly had
vaaished, with the actual St. John Lisle
she was barely acquainted.
Then tlae scenes which preceded Mrs.
NeWburgh's death arrayed themselves
diatinetly before her. How glad she was

Mona welcomed her cordially. It was
refreshing to meet the honest eyes, to
hear the frank, unsophisticated voice of
the simple, natural Highland lassie.
"I am so glad to see you. Uncle Sandy

"It was so good of you to ask me. Ken-

A Great Engineer.
(Chicago Chrinicle.)
Sir Douglas Fox, who has been com-
missioned to prepare the new plans for
the long -talked -of channel tunnel, is re-
garded by the members of his profession
as one of the greatest engineers of his
time. It is owing to his marvelous crea-
tive and constructive genius that the
Cape to Cairo railway has developed in-
to an actuality instead of an impossible
dream of the empire builders, the late
Cecil Rhodes and .Alfred Beit, who has
just left the scheme &1,200,000. The
great bridge across the Victoria falls on
the Zambesi river will always remain
a monument to his great abilities. The
Mersey tunnel, open& in 1885, which
nects Liverpool with Birkenhead and the
Cheshire side of the River Mersey, is
another of his engineering achieve-
ments, as is also the Liverpool Over-
head railway and the Dawarden railway
bridge across the River Dee. Fairly tall,
with clear cut determined features and
businesslike grey Bide whiskers, Sir Dou-
glas was 66 years old in May. ,
