A man can't be expected to keep posted :is to every John Bull or raw-boned Scotehman he meets on his travels." There was ,eomething so vindictive in his tone -something so rude in his words -that Sybil looked tie him in shocked wonder. But her brother was in nowise moved. "Very true," he said, ln his softest voice: "only when the 'raw-boned Scotch - man' suffers to save our life, it gives hint -well, a slight claim to a place in our recollection. But perhaps the street brawl in which he saved. you from a Spanish dirk has slipped your memory too?" "1 was ill of a fever after left Lima," Cyril Trevanion said, with a moody look iejury. "It was at Valparaiso; a very dangerous brain fever, in whieh my life and reason were both despaired of. I recovered, contrery to all expectation; lent a very remarkable change had been wroaght. AR the past was a blank. I remembered nothing of my whole life before that fatel fever -not my own rame." Sybil uttered. an exclametion.

I'll Mention it to Mecgregor; it may save him some trouble. He appeared to have been tolerably intimate with you out there. Most astonishing eftee you ever heard of -eh, Sybil?" There was a covert 'mockery in Char- ley's tone, which his sister was quick to detect. The painful senee of restraint deepened. It wile a relief when dinner was over, and. they returned to the drawing -room. The Etonian. stretched himself upon. a sofa, and wort on with his work of drawing out the returned hero; but Col- onel Trevanion drew out so extremely fine that even Charley was balled. Of his battles In India, and Ruseht, of his travels in South America and Central .Asia, Cyril Trevanion was: strikingly re- served and taciturn. "`On their own merits modest men are dumb," quoted Charley. "My own ease precisely. I've covered myself with glory grime hundreds of times in stand. up figbta with bigger boys; I've had a set-to with a distinguished member of the P. R., Bully Brittles, and I licked Bully, but I never speak of these ex- ploits. Its not a lack of memory, either; it's genuine innate mode.sty, the real, un- adulterated Simon Pure. Let's have some music, Sybil. Talking doesn't seem to be the colonel's forte." Cyril Trevanion took his departure early. He was stopping at one of the Speckluiven hotels. The brother paid sis- ter watched him mount his horse and ride away in the soft summer moon- light He nod agreed, before that leave- taking, to accompany them to Trevanion Park on the morrow, and remain their guest for the present. "Rum sort of ehap, that hero of yours, Sybil," the Etonian said, as the dark horseman disappeared. "Don't reme.m- bdr his oldest friends, or the mat that saved his life a year ago, and eats fish with his knife. But then, that fever. How's your ideal now, my dear, roman- tic, novel -reading &seer? Considerably shattered, eh? if he were anything lass than hero, and the last of all the great Trevanions, who never go wrong, 1 ehould sey he was about the greatest guy and the sulkiest lout I've come rtcross lately. The man who can eat sal- mon catlets with his knife, end drink out of hie finger-ghtse, is cap.thle of any earthly erime." Bet Sybil was gone. She flitted up the dark, polished oaken_ stairway, and dis- appeared in her own room. The eight -hemp burned dial, but the lovely summer 1110011light Streamed in; and put to shame its feeble glimmer. She blew it oat, and sat down by the window, her ehie resting on her band, the dark, deep eyes lookieg thoughtfully out over- the 'silvery groves of fern, the waving trees, the velvet -green glades of Moltke weed WaSt. Ana so the dream or her life was real. heeds -Cyril Trevanioa was come.

One by one the elow tears arose in. the proud eyes and fell, she Was so un.- utterably shoelted: and disappeinted. Her idol of gold was but of potterai clay. Poor Sybil! The home of the genial July night wore on, She had little desire for sleep. 4 sonorous clock over the stabled struck loudly the midnight hour before she Awoke from her painful reverie. With a long, shivering sigh, she was about to rise and prepare for bed, when 6oinething eeught her eye that riveted her to the spot, and set het heart beat- rinagr, wildly with. a. sensation akin to ter - A figure was moving amid the ,shrub- bery -a tall figure wearing some kind of (leek, shrouding garment, not unlike a priestly soutane. Slowly it moved - now stopping, now going on, now lost in dens -e eltadow, now distinct in the brilliant light of the moon. It left the shrubbery and, entered the Prior's Walk. Was it the prior's ghost taking its custotrutry midnight airing, and telling its ghostly beads under the monastic Oaks? No. The vivid moonlight, etreaming full on the lonely figure, ite head turned toward the watcher's window, thawed: Miss Trevanion the handsome face, bronzed and bearded, of Macgregor, the tenant of the Retreat. Sybil drew her breath again; she had been terribly startled. Mr. Macgregor wore a long. loose, picturesque looking cloale, and a broad -brimmed Spanish som- beer°, and was altogether not unlike a brigand in a . play, or a. sentimental cavalier come to tsing his, midnight ser- enade under his lady's lattice. He did nothing of the kind, however. He paced briskly up aud down the long, leafy aisle, in the solemn beauty of the night, for nearly an hour. Sybil watched him tlarough it all, sur- prised, curious, am.used. Then he plung. ed with a. crash into the fir plantation and disappeared.. "How odd!" Sybil thought, languidly, forgettieg all about her eousin thie new sensation. "What a very eccen- tric personage this Mr. Macgregor must be. But then authors are all eccentric, I believe. I shall like to know him, fa.ney, and I must read his books. He has been a great traveller, and is won- derfully eleven I suppose. He has the face for it; and I like clever men." The ex -cavalry colonel and the eceen. trie tenant of the Retreat were queerly enough mixed *up in Miss Trevanion's dreams that night. She awoke from one -a most vivid yieion--in which a glist- ening black enake, with the wide, velvet eyes and silken smile of Edith Ingram; was about to spring upon her with its deadly folds, while Cyril stood by with grimly folded! arms and gloomy faee. She struggled -she strove to cry out - her last hope was gone, when, crashing out of the fir trees came the tall Mac- gregor, and his blackthorn whirled through the air and came down like a stroke of doom on the hooded. serpent head, And Cyril slunk moodily away, and the handsome tenant of the Retreat had knelt on one knee before her on the greensward, his kingly beow uncov- ered, and. said: "Look at me, Sybil. I am-" And just here a sunbeam dart- ing across her sealed, eyelids awoke the pretty dreamer, who started up in bed, laughing and blushing at her very ill - regulated dreams. "How absurd.' The idea. of my dream- ing of that Mr. Macgregor! Well, I leave Monkewoodt-ah, dear old Monks- woodl-to-day; eo the eccentric author and his nocturnal rambles are likely to trouble me no more." CHAPTER XII. Comtin Cyril rode over from Speckhas- en in time for breakfast; then the trio started in the pony chase far Trevanion Park, Sybil driving. "Cut alonif through the west gate, Sybilr Charley observed; "rve a word to seer te Mangregor." Sybil obeyed. 'The tenant of the Re. treat was stretched lazily beneath a big, branching oak, smoking a cheroot and woaching the vivid azure of the blue sky as seen through the glistening foliage. His long, lean wolf -hound lay stretched out beside him, and master and dog made a very striking tableau set in vivid green. "I say, old fellow," Charley called, "I've a message from Sir Rupert Chud- leigh.

"He Ited a fever out ineewboa's the place, colonel? and lost his memory alto. gaiter, Don't remember anything now," maid the Etonian, with a wink of intense significance.

He stood beeeheaded until the car- riage dioappetteed, and still Sybil wore that etartled face. Suddenly she turned upon the colonel. "Cousin Cyril, do you know you very etrongly resemble theft man?" "What! Macgregor! No -eurely not," "But you dol" eacitedly. "It is that made nte stare so. How very rude yoa ore, Charley, to draw attention to it as you did." "Not half so rude as yourself," retort. ed the Btenian. "If Maegregor bad been the Pig-headed Lady, you eciteldn't heve looked him out of countenance more. If you had gazed much longer he might have thought you were falling in love with him, and taking his photograph in your mind's eye." "Nonseusel but the resemblance-. don't you see it, Charley?" "Can't say I do. Macgregor's much the better -looking man of the two if you'll permit me to say so, colonel.

Tre. vanion, with a frigid face; "and a most disagreeable way, I should imagine, your acquaintanees find it." "And Charley, like most other people who plume themselves upon their 'plain speaking' will take plain speaking from no one else," said Sybil. in mighty die - *mare, "Those Eton boys have become a by -word for their itripertinence. SO the tenant of the Retreat visits at Sir Rup- ert Chtidleigh'st" "Quite intimate taere," responded her brother, in, nowise quenched; "and very jolly feeds the old baronet gives. His Lafitte is nectar for the gods, and his Chs,mbertin and Maraschino something to bp dreamed of in one's visions of Par- adise. Gwen's the only drawback with her flaming dresses, and her loud style gemerally; but Macgregor, who is next door to an angel as to temper, finds even her endurable.

Then they go to =tale, and Macgreeor beets him at that, and they part dee:illy enemies -until next time." 4Your Macgregor appears to be a sort of Admirable Crichton, 'said his sister. "Pray, how long has he been in elrese parts to strike up such an intimaes with so very exelusive a gentleman as Sir Rupert? Or did they know ease, cab. er long ago?" "Never set eyes on each other mail about a. month ago," Charley said. "Mae- gregor came down to Speckhaven straight from Suabia, where, as told you before, he had been pig -sticking and boar -hunting, and writing jolly books. He and the baronet 'met by chance, the usual wAy.' Sir Rupert got hold of his work on Central Africa, and his 'Tour Among Volcanoes'-feoutia American travel; you know; eot immensely lighted with them, an6d called upon the 'talented author' immediately. As for liking hirn, once you know him, that'e simply a matter of course. I like him," added the Etonian, superbly; "and can say- no more." "No,t'said Colonel Trevanion, with withering sarcasm, Pshould say not. That c'Omprises everything. Undue charity toward your speeies is not ene of your weaknessee, I fancy." Charley eyed him askance. "Weaknesses I have none, colonel. Fools 1 despise. and knaves abhor. And believe it is a generally admit- ted truism that mankind is dividd in- to these two classes. Macuregor be a knave -I haven't sourided him to his lowest depths yet; but be eertainly is no fool. And of the two, I prefer the knaves." There Was that in the easy insolence of the lad's tone that said, as plainly as though he had spoken, "And you be- long to the fools." But they were at the house by this time to Sybil's in- tense relief; and my iridy, who had got wind in. some way of the new arrival, was at the dor to receive and welcome them. Mrs. Ingram was nowhere visible when the family party entered. the drawing -room; but ten minutes later her silvery voice was heard humming a "Traviata" air, and she came in through a glass door laden with a basket of dewy roses. Very pretty she looked, very youth- ful, very fresh, the bloom, that was not all rouge, at its brightest on her oval cheeks, and the greet, velvety oyes looking longer an ddarker for the artful circles about them. Her girlish robe ef white muslin flut- tered in the light July breeze; pink ribbons and blush rOses lighted her up, and all the rich black hair hung looSe, half curls, half riples, over her bare, plum pshoulders. She looked like one of Greuze's melt- ing beauties stepped. out of ite frame. She stood in the door -way an instant -an exquisite tableau -with her roses and her ribbons, glancing from one lime to the other. Cyril Trevanion, sitting talking to Ladv Lemox, his face partly averted, was the last she saw. As he turned round and their eyes met, the bright color faded from the rounded eheeks and a dull, leaden AVItite- ness passed from brow to chin. She stood quite still, cold and pale, gazing at him with wild, wide eyes. "Sweets to the sweet!" Charley said, taking her basket of roses out of her resistlese hand, "How you de sta,re, Mrs. Ingrain! Yon are almost as bad ns Sy- bil half an hour ago. Is Colonel Travail - ion Medusee head, and is he turning you to stone? Come, and let me pres- ent him. It may break the fatal spell." Ife led her forward, still resistless.

FACHRING PULP -019100 iroreAtry Press Bulletin, No. 52.) Canada's export trade of wood pulp is increasing anuttelly and during 1919 amounted, in value to five million, seven hundred thetteand dollars, aevording to information furnished to the Dominion Forestry Branch by the Department of Trede and Commerce. The three hun- dred twenty.niee thousand tone of pulp expoeted was an increase of forty-eight thousand tons over the amount shipped in 1909. Wood pulp ex. portations in 1910 amounted to seventy. per cont. of the total peoclueed in Can- ada, whereto, in 1009, the proportiou was only sixty-three per cent, Eighty- eight per cent. of the export was mete sulked pulp, and the remaining twelve per cent. wes chemieal pulp. During 1010, over three.quarter s of the pulp exported went to the 'United States, while shipmente to nearly all other cowl. tries deereetsed. The United lifingeloin takes most of the retnaining one-quarter, although exports to these countries have folleit off greatly. Particularly is this so with ementical pul- not one- taeventh the amount being shipped in 1910 as in 1900.
