CHAPTER =XVIII.
"Now, ladies and gentlemen;" Mr.
Leighton observed, with a sweeping
glance that incleded his whole aud-
ience, "sou all understand the mean-
ing of the words which I uttered
as I entered the room. I asserted
that If Miss Richardson was the wife
of any one, she was mine; bat she
is no m'an's wife—she is as free as
the air; that ceremony was only
the rankest farce, and I have al-
ways deeply regretted my share in
it. I ought to have revealed my Iden- •
tits and openly denounced the im-
poster the moment I realized the
great wrong he was doing; and there
isas been no time since, when, if I
could have learned who the unfor-
tunate lady was. I would not have
sought her and frankly confessed the
whole story. Miss Richardson, I
humbly hope that you will forgive
me for the cart I played in the

.sacrilege," lie concluded, 'turning re-
gretfully to her.
She looked up brightly at hint.
"Bather let me thank you a thous-

on hien way to London, and to pris-
on.
Two hours afterward nearly every
guest had departed, only the Seaver
party, with Mr. Leighton and young
Sir Arthur and the attorneys, Wel-
lington & Mayes, remaining In the
great house. The child had been a
wondering listener to all that had
been said, and the fact that he was
the lord of Worthing Towers was al-
most more than he could compre-
hend.
"Do you mean that this great, big
house and everything in it—all the
horses and carriages, too, are mine—
really mine ?" he questioned gravely,
and with wide eyes, when during a
quiet interval, his friend tried to ex-
plain tho situation more fully to
him.
"Yes, everything that you see for
miles around you, besides a great
deal of money ; and you are a baro-
net now—you are Sir Arthur Vin-
cent Page, and those portraits over
the mantel are the likenesses of
your father and mother."
"It all seems very queer," said the
lad, with quaint thoughtfulness; '`and

"Yes—at least some time; WO don't

"Yee, my boy, for a good many

"Then I want Uncle Carrol. I will

eerted young Sir Arthur, with some
excitement, and clinging appealingly
to bis friend.
"1 am Inclined to think that is
well thought of, if—you will accept
the trust, Hr. Leighton," said the at-
torney, turning inquiringly to the
3 dung man.

"Sir—" began his companion, in a

"Well—yes; there's no sense in

rupted Mr. Seaver, in his blunt way.
"You're making a fair income al-

and is the synonym for
strength and purity. It is sold
in almost all the civilized coml.,
tries of the globe.
If the cod fish became extinct
it would be a world -Wide calam-
ity, because the oil that comes
from its liver surpasses all other
fats in nourishing and life-giving
properties. Thirty years ago
the proprietors of Scott's Emul-
sion found a way of preparing
cod liver oil so that everyone can
take it and get the full value of
the oil without the objectionable
taste. Scott's Emulsion is the
best thing in the world for weak,

people, and all conditions of
wasting and lost strength.

Blossoming Water Plants.
Anyone who hall ever been at any of
the lakes in the middle and north of the
United States will know that a certain
time of July or ;august they are said to
"flower." Fislhra:Men are particularly
well acquainted with title iaet, for at
such times very few fish can be induced
to take the Maui,. In some lakes nothing
• can be seen when they are "flowering"
eeeept by the natives, who know front
the ap tear:lnee of the water. But in
-.other lakes the water becomes pulite
thick and yellow, seeming muddy or
tawny in some parts and clear gold in
others.
This "flowering" of the lakes is just
what the mule denotes, although malty
of the inhabitants of lake sheave do not
know what it is and cannot explain it
except by the vague statement that at a
certitzn truce of midsummer the lakes
"seem to work." The "flowering" is a
real flowering. It is due to the blossom-
ing of a water plaint, which lives under
the surface alt year long till the time
for flowering', when it rises towards the
top and throws off myriads of small
golden yellow spheres which fill the wa-
ter. -.-Boston Traveller.

DOLLS IN BABYLON'S RUINS.
•
Children of Ancient Greece Amused With
the Playthings.
The first dolls of which there is any
knowledge were found among the treas-
ures unearthed from the ruins of Baby-
lon,
abylon, They are small figures in terra
cotta and ivory, beautifuly carved and
must have been fascinating playthings
for the little Assyrian children.
The little girls of Syria had mechanical
dolls. The arms and legs were moved
by pulling strings much after the fash-
ion of Jumping Jacks.
Tho dolls the classic Greek chit Iron
played with were made of wax and clay
decorated with bright colors. One kind
had movable limbs and its clothes were
made to take off and put on. Every
doll had a bed of its own. These dolls
represented gods and heroes, but what-
ever they meant to represent, they were
dressed with loving care .by the little
Greeks.
As these children married when they
were very young they played with their
dolls until just before their wedding day.
Then they made a sacrifice of all their
toys, dolls end clothes included. They
.dedicated them as a pious offering to
some deity. If the little girl died before
she was grown up her dolls were buried
with her.
Thus it happens that the kind and
fashion of dolls which comforted these
ancient childran is known. All the speci-
mens which are kept with so great care
behind. glass doors in various museums
were taken from some tiny tomb.

A Letter From Home,

Dear Jim, the crops is doing well,
The calf 1s big enough to sell;
I've traded oft the brindle cow
And we ain't got but one just now,
The bosses all 1s fat and sleek
Except that Bob is rather weals,
Mit still that isn't nothing queer,
We've had him nigh on 20 year.
I think I'll put the bottom field
In corn and oats; it orter yield
A heavy crop. The land is rich
And just the thing ter oats and sich.
There is no news to speak of, Jim,
Miss Susie Jones is just as trim,
As when you saw her in the fall.

Just 60 years had o'er him rolled,
And so, I much regret to say,
We chloroformed poor dad to -day,
And that's 'bout all the news- until
I write agin. Your brother, Bill.

OKINGOS UR. ,..
The Mailed lleeord indulges in hood -
natured banter at the axpeuse 0f the
distinguished Dr. Osier, whose recent
assertions that men do their best work
before reaching the ago of forty, and
should be retiretl—not chloroformed ---
at sixty, have attracted more attention
than they deserved. ta has merely 1w pro-
ceeded
n -
seeded to elaborate his old -tine vtti-
cism, remarks the Record. And, it con,
tinues, the subtle Inunor becomes appar-
ent when we remember that Harvey WAS
baro in 1578, and published his word.,
"Exeseitatio de Motu, Cordis et sangu-
iuis," in 1628, when he was fifty years
old; that Lister was born in 1827, and
was close on to fifty years of age when
he began to convert the medical world
to the principles of antiseptic surgery;
and that, whale Koch was born in 1843,
and was within one year of forty when
he discovered the tubercle bacillus, even
the least appreciative of his admirerswill
admit that he has done some good wont
since 1882 These are may a few in-
stances. The list might ue continued
indefinitely.
Dr, Osler states his theory, applied to
a career in his own profession, thus:
"The teaeher's life should have three
periods—study until. twenty, -five, inves-
tigation until forty, profession until six-
ty, at which ago I would have him re-
tired on a double allowance." Now the
Medical Record thinks that maybe this
portion of the address was not meant
for a joke at all. "The last paragraph
quoted certainly contains the sugges-
tion of a hint to the Oxford House of
Convocation that in four years from now
(Osler was born fifty-six years ago) the
retirement of the regius professor of
medicine (one double allowance) would
be the correct thing." That is probably
an accurate diagnosis of the case.

recommended by the medical profession as

Twenty Tons of Klondike Gold.
(Detroit Tribune.)
Twenty tons of gold have bean produced
by the 'Klondike proper, the district within,.
a radius of fifty, miles of Dawson, since
Jan. lst of this year. In other words, the
output of the Klondike since the first of this
year is $0,200,000. The royalty collected on
the gold by the Canadian Government for
the year is $230,260. The banner year in the
camp was in 1000, when the Output was plac-
ed at $20,000,000. Since that the cream of the
riohest claims has been taken' and lower -
grade areas are being worked.
t
Definite information is to hand that
negotiations are progressing favorably
for the appearance of "Dan Patch," the
famous racing stallion in Canada this
year. Last year "Dan Patch" lowered
the world pacing record, previously held
by hilhself, at Memphis, Tenessee, from
1.56M to 1.56 flat.
The most remarkable part of this per-
formance was a fact which shows the
wonderful vitality oh the animal. Six
weeks previous to the lowering of the
record, "Dan I'ntch" was taken so seri-
ously sick at Topeka; Kan.,'that his life
of. He was soon able,
despaired,
however, to be removed to International
Stock Food Farm and under the careful
care of Mr. Savage, his owner, he was
'quickly re -conditioned to the form neoes-
eery to, perform the feat of lowering his
own world's .record.
Horse lovers in Canada will be glad to
learn of the prospective chance of see-
ing this wonderful beast. He is a mag-
nificent black. A fine color print of )nim

Municipal Clocks.
An extensive system of municipal insur-
ance and municipal time for the entire, ulty
has been .organized in Glasgow.
All over the city electrically controllea
clocks, regulated at short intervals &ru m
the stellar clock at tho observatory, have
been fixed. A monster regulating clock,
also controlled from the observatory, has
been placed in the town hall, and this in
turn controls the public clocks within a
certain radius. The Corporation hope to
erect about three hundred clocks at vari-
ous points in the city, and also control the
timekeeping in offices and large private
houses. Within five years Glasgow trans-
formed its tramways from borne to elec-{s'e
trice without adding a penny to the rates.
Although the fares have been considerably
reduced, the yearly profits have increased
by nearly $500,000.
