Young Cassinove, who felt a deep interest in all these scenes, would have paused to contemplate this venerable ruin, but again the impatience of his employer urged the postillion, to great - fent little town of Swinburne, situat in one of the most picturesque and beau- tiful counties in the West of England. They were standing within the arched gateway, or leaning against the solid masonry of the side walls, that looked strong enough and old enough to have the south gate of the park, guarded by the ancient porter's lodge. They passed under the lofty archway and entered upon the beautiful grounds that lay more immediately arounda the castle. Swinburne Castle was of later date been those of some ancient keep, and than the ancient keep, the ruins of which which, in fact, had done good service they had just passed, and from which it • as defences in the olden time, when took its name.

Yet all of Italy's genius, passion and poetry smouldered in the !(cart of the young secretary, and these.evere kindled into a sudden blaze by the electric spark of love. lliiss Dorton!

Give hien time, and, under the inspiration of his love for her, he would win wealth, distinction, a glorious name, and lay then( all at her feet. If this passion was sudden as it was ardent, remember that Ferdinand Cassinove was of the Celtics race,. Yea; , be would win the world and lay it at her feet. I In the midst of the pleasing pain of this love- dream, the door opened, and the grey-haired servant whom Ferdinand had seen in the hall entered softly, and stepping across the room to where the lady sat, and speaking in the low, sub- dued tone in which royal personages are addressed, said: 1 "Afv lady, Colonel Hastings' respects, was, indeed his castle. By their looks and conversation, it was evident that some event of unusual importance was expected to come off. "The coach will be late; what wull be keeping her?" inquired Broding, the village smith, as he returned, disap- pointed, from one of these surveys. "What do'ee think; wull the bridegroom be doon for sure?" he asked, turning to an ostler, who had left the stable yard for the same purpose. "Wull the young squoir be doon? Of course he wull! Dunnot he send down his groom to speak rooms in the house, with orders to have fires kindled? Why, mun, the young squoir wull never be late at such a. time," replied the ostler, in contemptuous tones. "A good job if un never coo at all.

Behind the castle arose the thick, im- penetrable woods bordering the open chase; before it lay a smiling landscape, diversified by parterres of flowers, groves of beautiful trees and a small, clear lake, shaded by overhanding wil- lows and adorned by a flock of graceful white swans. An exclamation of delight broke from the lips of Cassinove as his eyes fell up- on this scene of exceeding beauty, now lighted up as it was by the gloniaus sun of June. They drew up before the central tran- sept that connected the two long wings of the castle. Two grooms, in waiting without, im- mediately came forward to attend Col- onel Hastings, who alighted first, followed closely by his secretary. One of the grooms dismissed the post chaise, while the other knocked at the door, which was immediately opened ter a footman in the grey and white livery distaff," said an old laborer, from Swirl- of Lady Etheridfe, of Swinburne. borne Chase.

At a writing table near the centre sat Colonel Hastings, who arose with the stately courtesy of the olden time, and set a chair for his ward. Lady Etheridge, after greeting her guardian cordially, took the indicated seat. The old servant retired. ' Ferdinand Cassinove withdrew to a distant Gothic window of stained glass, and stood apparently studying its scrip- tural subjects, but really, with senses preternaturally sharpened by the excite- ment of his heart and brain, compelled to hear and see all that passed at that central table. There they sat, the guardian and his ward, in close discussion. The guardian, with his tall, spare figure, and thin, pale face, in marked contrast with his solemn I suit of black, sat examining a document that lay before him.

The coast belongs to the latter country, but the interior—beyond a line not yet definitely located—belongs to Canada. In 1809 the eastern littoral was given to Newfoundland and the unknown hin- terland to Canada or rather to the Hud- son Bay Company. Com an . As laid down in the documents the boundary is a mistaken one, since it conflicts with an express grant of the coast to Newfoundland. Negotiations are noiv in progress for an amicable adjustment. A refusal of New- fo"ndland to pay royalty to Quebec for timber cut at Hamilton Inlet has brought differences to a climax. Accurate sur- veys are being made with a view to a decision, the last word being with the Privy Council or arbiters chosen by the London Government. At some points Newfoundland's claims extend 200 miles inland, but Canada will not concede a strip along the whole coast of this coast. The latter wants an outlet on the Atlantio without having to pass through a coastwise strip owned by her neighbor.
