The action of the Southern Cotton
Combine in restricting the, output by
closing down a lot ofits mills is being
imitated in Canada. The president of
tho Dominion Textile Company inti-
mates that the Canadian companies are
"taking precautionary measures to pro-
tect their interests." In other words,
the mills will restrict their output while
raw cotton prices remain high by put-
ting their men on short hours. This
will be a little rough on the men, but
will enable the Cotton Combine to safe-
guard, if tot to increase, its profits.

We have heard a good. deal recently
about the "home work evil," but we
have 'never been able to give our unre-

study, like any. other good thing, can.
be over done, especially in. the lower

is of street walking," Home work has

"I may never see hint again," I re-

She loeked at me with wondering eyes,
and repeated, dreamily: "A mistake!
How could that be? I never thought of
that,"
"I am ignorant of the circumstances;
but I feel sere that what you hold to
have been a crime wes sintply a mistake
--nothing more, and the time will (tome,
I venture to Assert, when you will find
it; so,"
"What faith you leave ia Wen," she
said; and salt that the conversation
ended. I wont, benle some days after
that, and then matters fell into their
old routine. The only change was in
Miss Vane herself. She grew more hu-
man; her one great net of forgiveness
seemed to have changed her whole ehar-
aoter. There was only one thing sae
would not do -she would nob mix with
the world. She took up a lily one day
when talking, end front the deep white
CU p pulled a petal. "Can onything re-
store that petal or make the 1115 whole?"
she asked.
"No," I replied.
"It is the ,seane with. my life," she
said. "A page was torn abruptly from
it -e page on which sweetest hopes
wore written -and nothing cam restore
it. I meld not take up my old duties,
resume my olid pleasures, mix• freely In

"No, I will not." l" replied.
"I am happier than I ever hoped to be,
beeeuse I have forgiven Lord Wynton,
and the blauk desolation has gone out
of my life."
Instinetively I kept two. seorets from
her. I never told her that Lord Wyn-
ton had promised te come to see me,
or that he intended tea call upon her. So
the year pmsed, spring came round
again, and in May I read this announce-
ment: "Died, on the 3rd of May, at Nice,
Isabelle, Lady Wynton. She was interr-
ed in the cemetery at Woe on the 5th."
A lending fasnionarble journal devoted
a small paragraph to the event, and said
that Lady Wynton, after suffering se-
verely for some months, had died sod-
denly at Nice. I took the papers to the
River Haase and showed them to Euldah
Vane. She grew very pale as she read -
her eyes filled with tears; and then she
turned th me and said: "I am very sorry
for him. Poor Clive!"
The remainder of the story I tell as I
heard it some tone afterward, when
the mystery was explained to me, and
all was dear.
CHAPTER XII,
When it svas known In Loudon that
Gerald Asheton, the younger son of a
poor but noble family, had. returned
after thirty years' service in India, a
millionaire. society decided upon opening
its arms to him. A millionaire! Such
exceptional distinction sooiety decreed
ought to he reeognized-must be reeog-
nized, 111 fact -and Gerald Asheton was
received with open arms. He did his
duty as became a millionaire. He pur-
chased one of the most magnificent
manoiona in Belgravia, and furnished it
regardless of cost; then Lord. Bathern's
family estate, Silverwell Priory, came
into the market, and he bought it, and
had it refurnished with the utmost
splendor. Afterward, hearing of a pret-
ty little villa in the Isle of Wight, he
purchased it, also. With three houses,
each one rivalling the other in lemuty,
he began to.consider who -eras to inhabit
them. ,
His friends advised him to marry; but
for that he did not care. His brother
had married, and his wedded life, like
his life generally, had not been a suc-
cess. He had married a gentle, accom-
plished girl, who had no fortune except
her fair face and her noble mind. She
stavived her husband six years, dnring
whites time she was supported entirely
by the bounty of Gerald Asheton, who
allowed her an income quite sufficient
for her wants. At her death, he ordered
his agents to place her only child, Hub,
dah, in one of the beat schools.
He was so deeply engrossed on his re-
turn to England by the settlement of
Ms affairs that he almost forgot the
existence of his Mem. It was not until
lee bevel to wonder hosv Ile was to dis-
pose of his vast fortune that he remem-
bered her, and. then he went down to
Brighton to see her.
Ho found tos his intense surprise a
tall, lovely girl, with a graceful figure
and a 'beautiful face. His delight was
great. Riddell Asheton was at once
taken. from school, installed as mistress
at Silverwell, and everything that
money could procure was lavished upon
her. Gerald Asheton idolized his beau-
tiful niece; he never tired of looking at
her, of listenink to her, he formally
adopted her as his heiress, and au not
Test until he had made his will, leaving
her mistress of his vast fortune.
It spoke well for Huldah Asheton that
her head was hob completely turned by
this Onstage in her position. She had
been happy and eontented at :school,
feeling sure that her editeation and ae.
complishments were to be het fortune,
and that ahe would have to earn her
livelihood as a governess. The result
Was that she had acquired a certain in-
dependence of diameter, feeling that
her suecess in life woula depend on her
own efforts.
At seventeen she found, herself one of
the most beautiful, wealthy and admired
girls in London. She could have mar -
lied just as she would; but, young as
she was, iluldah Asheton had formed a
resolution to Marry only for love. Be-
fore she had been a month at Silverwell

responsible post. A girl of Seventeen,

girlhood met, her heert and soul thrilled
with the vague, sweet poetry of life.
CHAPTER XIII.
The Countess of Ivrington had a
beautiful villa on the banks of the
Thaanes. She deligitted in spending part
of her time there, surrounded by the
very flower of Lendon society, She
had. invitee "Tlae Queen of the Sea-
son," without whom no assemblage Was
complete.
On the morning after her arrival, 'Miss
.Asheton, tempted by the beauty of the
grounds, rose early atel went. out. Life
held many fair mornings; for her, but
none like that. Her white morning
dress, keotted here and there with rose-
colored ribbons, fell in graceful folds
round the tall, slender figure; a wealth
of shining, waving hair rippled over her
shoulders, the moaning breeze had
brought the daintiest bloosn'to her face,
her large, dark eyes shone with light;
the beautiful lips were partecl 111 neen
enjoyanent. •
She .stood watehing a pretty ulnae-
ture water -fall. She Iteld her hand in
the water, and watched the spray run-
ning over her white fingers; then. she
thought she would cross a little rustic
bridge which spanned the stream, and
was about to do when a rich, deep voice
said: "I should advise you not to trust
yourself to that little bridge; it is un-
der repair and is not quite safe,"
She looked round, and saw a gentle-
man come across the lawn. He raised
his hat and bowed, "Pray, pardon me,"
he said; "but I know that bridge is
very shaky, I am Lord Wynton, Lady
EvrIngton's brother. You, I know, are
her guest, Miss Asheton."
Huldah bowed;. not for worlds would
she have spoken Just then.
"I am afrai(II have startled you, Miss
Asheton," continued the musical voice;
"if so, I am very sorry."
"No, you have not startled me," she
said.
He came nearer to her and jhe looked
at his face; it was handsome, noble,
with eyes and lips that could sweeten
and soften like a woman's. Her heart
went out to him -she eould not tell why,
except that he was the hero of her
dreams, the ideal come at last.
Lord Wynton was visiting his sister.
She had tempted him by telling him that
the beautiful Mies Asheton was to be
her guest. He had laughed at first,
telling her beauties were always more
or less failures. He came, however, to
please his sister. But on the morning
that he saw Huldah Ashton, in all the.
sweet simplieity of her beauty, he was
amazed; and, from that moment he
loved her with a love that was his doom.
It was a case of love at first sight,
and everyone guessed it. Preen the mo-
ment that she first saw Lord Wynton
until the day she died, he was the one
love of her heart and soul; she knew no
other; no other man ever had the power
to charm her. Her ideal was realized; be-
yond that realization she never went.
The time came -it was the gloaming
of a beautiful june night -when Lord
Wynton told her the story of his love.
She raised her beautiful face -not to
him, but to the evening skies and thank-
ed Heaven for its goodnees.
"Huldah, my darling," he cried, pas,
sionately, "I am not, worthy of you, I
know. Thetlove of apure, innocent heart
like yours is a treasure above price."
She would not hear it. He went on,
holding her hands in his strong °hum.
"When I was young, Hulelah-quite
young -I committed a great folly. I
must tell you what it was." '
"No," she •objected, "I will not hear
it -or, if you will tell me at all, it shall
not be until after I am your wife. My
faith, Clive, like my love, is boundless.
If, when you were young, some fair faoe
caught your fancy, it was but your fanoy
-your love is all for Mee"
"As Heaven is my witness," he declar-
ed, "all for you I have had no other
love, and never shall have."
So while the nightingale sang they
plighted their troth to each other. Ger-
ald" A.sheton was delighted. His darling
would be Lady 'Wynton; and, besides
that, she would be one of the richest wo-
men in the country. With his cement
the wedding was arranged to take place
in September, and there did not seem
to be eveij the smallest cloud in Lord
Wynton and Miss Asheton's sky.
CHAPTER XIV.
All wenb happily until July, and then
canto a terrible shock. Gerald Ashton
died suddenly of old -standing heart dis-
ease, and Huldah was left Miracle and
sole mistress of hie immense fortune.
She was then only eighteen. Silverwell

and the Belgravia!' mansion; hers also
Were the plate, the furniture, the awe-
mulation of money in the funds, the
jewels. She had been the rage before;
she became doubly the rage
Owing to the death of Gerald Asheton,
the wedding was, of course, postponed
-it was arranged to take place in the
following April. Iluldah spelt the an-
tunte at Byde, where the Counteis of
Evriegton reigned queen. Lord Wynton
was vatting hie sister, so that he bud
Miss A.sheteit met every day.
Ha",dah had expressed A Wit& about
her Marriage. "Let me be married in
ouietness and peace," sho said; " the
Cetemony is for us, not for a ()toted of
idle lookers-on. There can be no prettiet
(lurch than that one at Silverton -let us -
be married there, Clive. 1 de not Want
a great house full of oomparty-only
your sister -no one elate"'
It was well that Lord Wynton seceded
to her request. The preparations all went
011. Lyndmere Park was: made ready for
the reception of the bride, and tho wed-
dingaday was to be the 10th of April,
lard Wynton wart to spend the tight
at the hotel jit Silverton, and to Meet
his beealtlful young beide In Ohneelt•
itelcialt had her Wish. There was no
'ergo party of guests; no one Was invit-
ed to Silverwell except Lord Wynton's
eider and her husband.
The Mb, of April 'claWeed. It was a
fair spring day, Huldah Asheton rem
early; the was tee happy to bleep. The
sky Might Well look to fair, the sun
shineso brightly; it was her Wedding -
day. She. went out for a few muulei to
take a last look for a time at her fair
demain of Silverwell, and then she with-
drew to hor apartments to drese, It Vag
chariseterietie of her that on this, her
wedding -day,' elle should ask her faith-
ful old num and servant to dress, her.
She -the proud beautyt "The (1110013

oss-claiped her agent toend her puree'

ing her beautiful face on the nurse'
shOulder, "to kiss and blees me. Wish
ine godepeee in any life, Lowio."
And jam Lewie blessed her with lov-
ing words, foretelling such happiness
for her as made the girl's heart beat
and her face glow.
"Now come, Lewis," she nide "and flee
all my weddiegetttire; it lies ready tu
my -dressingeroom."
Lewis followed her. Tile wedding -dress,
the wedding -veil, the wreath of oraege
blosamans, the white gloves, the white
sans shoes, the white fan with the Jew -
tallest handle, the bracelet of magnifi,
cent pearls, all ley ready, just as for
years afterward they lay In the clos.ed-
up room of the River Rouse.
"You shall dress me, Lewis," said.the
beautifal bride; "no other hands but
yours because yours have been the kind-
est hands in the world to me."
She wore it wrapper of white silk,
and, juot as she was unfastening the
hand of it, saying, "See how the aim
smiles on any wedding morn," a knook
came at the door. Susanne, the Paris-
ian maid, came in, "There le a lady in
the hall, Miss Asheton, who insists upon
seeing you,"
"-A lady7 1 cannot see anyone. Say
that I am particularly engaged. I have
spent so maul time aut of doors, Lowis,
I shall be late."
'Another rap came. "Lady Eyrington
begs me to say the vantages ale
ready."
"I shall not be tong," said the young
heiress. "Susenne, tell the lady 1 eau -
not see her; whatever message she luts
must he sent by you."
Susanne went away, but returned in
a few minutes'. "The lady insists upon
seeing you; she bade me give you this."
Huldah took a note from the girl's
hands and read: -
"If you yidt to spare yourself untold
shame, anguish and remorse,' see me at
once. If you refuse to do so, I shall
follow you to the chureh. 'When you
have seen me, you will understand that
to -day's ceremony would be a wretched
f
Hulclah Asheton looked up at the ser-
vant who had brought the note. "The
person who wrote this mint be maul,"
she said.
"I do not think so, miss; she looks
sane enough."
"What kind of person ie she?"
"Tall, elegantly dressed and pretty -
looking, anise. She heard something
about the carriages helag ready, and
she laughed. 'You had hotter wait until
have seen your mistress,' she said."
A sudden presentment of evil came to
the young heiress, "I will see her, Su-
sanne," she said; "bring her here."
"Into your dressing roozn?" question-
ed the maid, wonderingly,
"Yes, I have no time to go anywhere
else."
Susanne went away quickly, Miss
*skeleton read. the letter again. What
could it mean -dear heaven, what could
It mean? Her beautiful face grew pale.
"Is it bacl news, any dear?" asked the
old nuree.
"I do not know," replied Huldah, Be-
fore she had time for another word the
door opened, and a tall, elegantly dress-
ed woman entered. Her veil was thrown
back, showing a pretty but somewhat
insipla face, and a quantity of false
hair. The visitor was elegant rather
than graceful. With, it inn:king smile,
she looked round the magnificent dress-
ing room. "I am sorry to intrOde, Miss
Asheton, but my business is Imperative
-it admits of no delay. I hear you are
:to marry Lord Wynton to -day."
"I do not see that the matter con-
cerns you," was the haughty reply.
"Pardon me, I am the best judge of
that."
"I see your wedditig dress is all ready
-the veil and the wreath and the bridal
bouquet, sent by nada loving hands. The
minister stands ready robed at the al-
tar, the ringers are ready to ring the
wedding bells, the carlrages stand at the
door, the servants all wear white f
ors, the bridegroom is counting the mo-
ments. But listen to me -oh, hour of
triumph, for which I have waited and
longed and prayed -there will be no
wedding, there can be no wedding, for I
am Lord Wynton's wife!"
(To he continued.)
The Fallacy of the Fireplace.
While we deeply regret the neoeesity
of disturbing such a hoary end venerable
belief, with so many delightful and com-
forting associations connected with it,
as that of the "perfect ventilation" ole
babied -by means of an open 1ireplace,
candor compels us to state that the oat-
-urea method of ventilation, either by
m,easne of an open fireplace or an ordin-
ary stove, Is neither adequate nor Batts-
factstay. It is not adequate because, ex-
cept in the leakiest of rooms, the am-
ount of change made in the air is insuf-
'Went.
The second and most vital reason is
that the oat ale svhieli name for the

OILED ROADS IN A NUTSHELL.
(Ottawa Journal.)
Oiled roads keep down the dust.
By keeping down the dust oiled roads

Oiled roads drive away flies and mos-

Oiled retitle mean preserved roads
and thereforea saving in annual expen-
diture ts from repairs. ' The oil throws
off the water and as,a result disinteg-

ANY KIND OF SKIN TROUBLE
Quickly Yields to D.D.D. Prescription.
Oil of wintergreen is recognized by
the medical fraternity as one of the
best of all remedies for skin diseases.
But it has been found most effective
when combined with thymol, glycerine,
etc., as in D. D. D. Prescription:
The following letter, written on July
12 last by Mrs. R. E, Purdy, of Condie,
Sask., gives an idea of the variety of
the 'uses of D. D. D. in the household:
"Last winter I sent for one of your
free samples of 13, D. D. Prescription.
I tried it on ilexes that broke out on
a teething baby's head, on cold -sores
and on a mild type of eczema, and
found it worked well, curing each trou-
ble quickly and easily.
This summer we have used it on bad
mosquito bites and it heals them in two
or three applications."
D. D. D. is a wonderfully soothing,
cooling liquid, which instantly allays
the itching caused by skin diseases, and
cures them.
For free sa.mple bottle of D. D. D.
,Prescription write to the D. D. D. Lab-
oratory, Department D, 23 Jordan st.,

Watch the Wiring. •
The entire wiring of a car should be
carefully examined from time to time
for signs of wear in the insulation. Al
certain places the wires are exposed to
coetinualathough slight, friction, which
will ultimately break through the insul-
ation and establish a short circuit. The
timely application of a little insulating
tape will often save much trouble in this
respect. The heat of the exhaust pipe
or muffler, for example, will melt the
insulation of the high tension cable, if
too close and cause a defect.
