Japan is becoming quite an import-
ant consumer of Canadian wheat and
flour. For the year 1908, Japan took
from Canada 2,930,874 pounds of wheat,
and 4,444,430 pounds of flour. The Jap-
anese duty on wheat is 21 eents a cwt.
and on flour 55e a cwt. Evidently the
Japanese market is worth cultivating.

Lawyers are made the butt of so many
jokes about rapacity that it is pleasant
to be able to show that there is another
view of the profession. The other day
in New York an eminent member of the
profession, Mr. Untenneyer, was assign-
ed by. the court to defend a penniless
Italian woman charged with murder.
The Woman was acquitted, the jury be-
ing convinced that she fieed the fatal
allot in defence of her otvn life. The
court allows Mr. Untenneyer a fee of
$500, and it is known that he spent at
least 61,000 in preparing the rime. On
the woman being discharged, Mr. Das
termeyer, it has leaked out, turned his
$500 fee over to her. True charity and
generosity have not yet ceased to be
inanifeeted by mankind.

'Even for it few moments?" be asked,
holding the little hands closer and draw-
ing the slender, girlish form nearer to

Norine shook her golden curls.
''It is best not to make a promise,

saki, thinking to herself he little knew
what it hardship it would be to her to
let a whole day pass without seeing
"Then I shall surely see you the day

"Yes," she replied, "I will be here,"
Oliffod Carlisle suddenly bent down
and totiehed the lips that had never
known a lover' kiss before; and. that
kiss burned Norine's lips long after she
bad left him.
"Cold," she murmured, "How could
any one think it cold? Why, my heart
and every nerve in my body are on fire,
throbbing as though the blood in my
vales wore euddenlei tnirned to hot,
strong wine."
Meanwhile Clifford Co.rlisle had walk-
ed rapidly in the direction of the Barri-
son home.
"Thirty thousand in cash!" he mut-
tered. "Now, who will not say that the
devil does not help his own?"
Miss Austin was passing through the
corrider as he entered.
"Mrs. Benison was just asking for
you," she remarked. "I was about to
send up to your rooxn for you, thinking
you were there.
He did not look any too pleased at
the intelligence.
Clifford Carlisle liad not been under
that roof a week as yet, still he had told
himself long sine.e that the 'hardest work
he had ever done was to dance attend -
once on this querulous old woman. He
could. not endure it much longer, even
with the Benison millions in sight;
CHAPTER 'VIII.
"Have you any what, Mrs. Bar-
rison wazts of me?" asked Carlisle,
throwing off his sealskin coat, impa-
tiently. "That is what I hear every hour
in the day, it seems to me."
Miss Austin laughted it sweet littlo
musical laugh.
"I should not wonder if it was to
showeyou her new backgammon set that
arrived an hour since. I—I may as well
tell you a little tiny secret—the dear
'old lady is intensely fond of the gazne.
In playing backgannnon she never real-
izes the flight of time. She would play
from itOW until midnight, ceaselessly,
even forgetting that there is such a thing
as meal time for herself or any one else."
Carlisle groaned.
"I see my finish if she were ever to
find out that I understood the game,
which, by the way, I have a great horror
of," he declared, adding, eagerly: "Will
you not come to my rescue in this affair,
my dear Miss Austin? Say that I have
gone to my room with it raging head-
ache. Indeed, that would not be an un-
truth, you know, for the very thought
of spending half an hour over that most
stupid of games renders me in that con-
dition. Witco her to look for a martyr
elsewhere."
"If I play on the guitar for her that
will cause he to drop to steep at once,
and that would depnve you of her so-
ciety the entire evening," she murmured,
artfully,
"Never mind me; do not consider me
in the matter, 1 beg of you," he An-
swered quickly, "To my mind, sleep is
better than medicine for the indisposed.
Play your guitar byall means, for this
one evening, at least, and I shalt appre-
ciate It, I assure you."
Miss Austin blushed deeply.
He had not said it in so many words,
but she understood front his remarks
that he hoped old Mrs. Benison would
fall asleep that they might have a. quiet
evening to themselves in the parlor.
It is strange on what it light remark,
falling from a man's lips, a woman who
15 desperately in love witit him will
build her hopes.
"I will try to have it AR you desire,"
murmured Floriee, and her heart beat
with feverish triumph.
She told herself that the hour was not
far distant wheu he would declare him-
self.
Already she could see herself in fancy
the wife of this handsome, debonair
young man, the heir of the vast Benison
Wealth,
In. Clifford Carlisle she had raet her
match—the one man on earth whom she
could have loved molly, passionately,
for hinotelf, if he had not had a dollar
on earth—and while he seemed to admire
her as all other men whom she had met
did, he seemed in no great hurry to make
love to her; and this annoyed her visibly.
They dined together, alone in the big,
bleak dining -room, as they had been
aceustomea to do.
But instead of Clifford Carlisle saun-
tering to Mrs. Benison's boudoir, immo-
lating lihnself upon the &Hay of duty
bypassing the evening there, he went In-
stead quiekly to his own apartment.
Miss Austin lost no time in gathering her
musk together; not bright, tunefttl,
spiriting musk, but instead nrowse,
dragging melodiee, that would have the
soporifie effect of puttiug a persoit to
sleep if anything could.
But for the firet time sines the young
girl had, been beneath that roof the old
lady proved perverse.
"Put down your guitav and talk to
Me, Fierier," she exelaimed, petulantly.
"I ani riot in the mood for Mtge ti-
nted."
Miss .Austin bit her lip, and a Attempt
angry gleam came into her sharp, green -
blue eyes that the long yellow lashes
heel shaded AO well.
"Shall 1 read the lateet magazine to
you, ore -or would you prefer Hutt I
should ring for Mr. dnilisle?"
"Don't trouble youreelf to do so just. I
let; he will some to me directly. You '
may rem' until he conies."
Mies Austin read mail her throat
ached. Mrs. Bateleon was slightly deaf,
and she had to pitelt her voice in a very
high key. -Read niere distinctly, fio that

Another page with quite tlui eame re -

"You nuty ae, well stop right where

"You had better lay (IOWA your book

you may ring for Esther to Ammon him
here."
Again Miss Awitin's lieert beet with
silent rage, ' That meant that the quiet
evening elle had promised herself with
Cliffora Carlisle would begin and end tin
her devastated hopes,
A sudden thought .ettizie to her, One

to go to sleep, whether ahe would or not,
She wondered that this way out of
her difficulty had not occurred to her an
hour before,
Of eouree Clifford Carlisle was wait-
ing for her down in the parlor, wonder-
ing with all a man's impatience why
she did not put in an appearance.
Width the noiseless, gliding motion
peculiar to her, Miss Austin crossed over
to the cabinet: at the other end of the
room where the medicines and liquors
were kept.
"Let me pour yon out it glass of wine,
my dear Mrs. Benison," she murmured,
"The night is so cold, it is even percep-
tible in this warm room; I think it will
do you good."
".As you wiliony clear Ploriee," replied
the old lady; "I think myself somothiug
stimulating would not come Andes.
"Perhaps I had better give you it lit-
tle brandy," suggested Miss Austin.
"No, the wine will do. The brandy
might make nae drowsy, and I do not
wi41 to sleep; I have so mita to talk
with Clifford about."
"You shall sleep, and that epeedily,
too, if I can haee my way about it,"
muttered Miss Austin, between her
tightly shut teeth.
She poured out the wine and the wo-
man at the other end of the room did
not see her add a few drops of dark,
greenish liquid to it; but she did no-
tice as she raised it to her lips that it
bad a very bitter, brackish taste to
it.
"That is only your fancy, my dear
Mrs. Barrien," murmured Florice. "The
taste is in your mouth after the bit of
bird you have just eaten."
"Nonsenser exclaimed the other,
sharply; "I say it is the wine. Pleese do
not euggest that I could make it mita
take about liquors.'
"Certainly not. I hope you will par-
don me for intimating such it possibil-
Pet," Ate remarked, with apparent inii0-
enee; but old Esther, who happened
to enter at that moment, detected un-
derneath her words a covert sneer.
"I think I will take advantage of
Bather's presence to retire to my room
to rest a little while, as you advised it
few moments ago, dear Mrs, Benison,"
•she said, gliding toward the door.
Esther did not tell her mistress that
instead of going to her room, she had
distinctly heard Miss Austin going down
the stairs, for they creaked audibly even
under her cat -like tread.
A moment litter she heard her turn
the knob of the parlor door,
"A liar is the last person on earth
to be trusted," thought old Esther, who
by this time had a most cordial dislike
for the strange young woman, who
seemed to do pretty much as she liked
with her mistress.
"What brings you here at this hour,
Bather,' asked Mrs. Bunion, wondering-
ly, for the methodical old servant's ba -
bits were like clockwork. She had never
been known to finish her supper dishes
thus early and repair to her room
"I thought perhaps you saw the fire,
reendwo.uld like to know about it," she
plied
"There has been many e. fire in Had-
ley during the last twenty years, and
have I ever had enough interest in
them to Inquire about them?" she asked,
curtly.
"No, ma'am—no " responded Esther,
"but I happened to see this one its I
was returning from the post -office with
the mall,"
Old Mrs. Benison saw at °nee that
Esther wished to talk with her of the
conflagration. Perhaps it was the wine
she had just drunk which prompted. ber
to humor the old servant,
"Was it much of a firer she asked,
"and what was, it, a house, or a shoed"
"It eva.s the pretty little cottage that
you always admire so muelt from your
window. The house where the young mo.
ther lived who was teaching her little
baby to walk."
"Alit" exclaimed Mrs, Benison, her
euriosity getting the better of her deep
resolve not to allow any of the village
happenings to interest her, "the mother
and infant escaped of course."
"Their lives were saved by almost a
miracle, ma'am," said Esther, solemnly,
"It appears that the young Mother
was subject to fainting spells. One of

was putting loge on the kitchen fire and

quickly again, mutteringi "This does not

Old Esther hastened to obey.
Her prompt action saved tier mistress.
She called no one to her aid, though
Mrs. Benison grew steangely ill dur-
ing the next few minutes, but in half
an hour's time she was so relieved that
she was her old self again.

Long after the door had closed upon
old Esther's bent, retreating forte, Mrs.
Barrison sat in the same position, gaz-
ing into the fire—gazing fixedly, with-
outseeing,
"It is eighteen years ago tonight,"
she muttered, "I --I would give every

Rising suddenly to her feet, Mee. Bar -

that was seemly* discernible to even a

"Warren rose and said that 'my learned

Suspect every mushroom which you do

• The chief poisen itt mushronia are
two in number-- musearin and phallin.
The first of these produces symptoms re-
sembling those of alcoholic intoxication,
followed by convulsions or paralysis,
collapse aed death from heart failure.
These symptoms come on soon after the
mushrooms have been eaten.
In poisoning by phallin the symptoms
do not appear until several hours after
the meal. They resemble cholera., be -
glinting with severe abdominal pain,
soon followed by vomiting, purging and
collapse.
In all cases of mushroom poisoning
vomiting should be induced as soon as
possible, and a large dose of castor oil
may he given to hasten the eliminatiou
of any as yet unabsorbed portions of
the mushroom.
Stimulantare needed to support the
heart, anti milk containing an abund-
