Matters being thus arratiged so ;wet-
ly and conclusively, it followed raturel-
ty enough that the generous originetor
of the scheme should regard It's firtore

It acquired a higher value in his eyes,
there ia no denying, bythis spice of dif-
ficulty in attainment -a value that grew
higher as he began to deem it dimly pos-
sible that the property might never be
his to have to hold, and that the per-
sonal comforts his selfish, mean nature
prized so highly might vanish also. An-
other loss he had also begun to recog-
nize of late -the loss of the woman -
the future -wife-a loss which he felt
wueld cut deeper than all else -a loss
the bare thought of which filled his
greedy animal nature with a subtle
tigerish jealousy. Be had picked her
out, chosen her, set his mind on having
her, though she was "nogreat things
of a beauty to look at" -nor near as
good looking as Susanna Edwarda
whom he might have had for the ask-
ing. Dare any one think of her instead
of him? Dare she think of giving her-
.selfa, or wish to give herself, away to
anyone else but him?
He hinted at this uneasiness of 'mind
fo his to "cousin 'Lezabeth"-that is to
say, he grumbled when. Winnie ran off
gladly to Roseworthy of an evening,
avoiding him and his detested. air of pro-
prietorship whenever she could, saying
that "the young piece didn't seem to
have any great notion of settling
down," and. that "it AWLS sure ,to make
the maid full of flighty, grand extrava-
gant notions, to be keeping company
with fine gentry like that.'
And. "cousin 'Lezabeth" quite agreed
with him, and was fuller of ill -will than
ever against "Winniford's" grand no-
tions and fine lady airs and ways; but,
as both her step -mother and expected

Winnie's presenee from the room.
"Came over to see the lieutenant, I
believe," said Mrs. Caerlyon, with a
slighting toss of her head.
"Hum," returned Mr. Pascoe, slowly,
lowering his brows over his crafty eyes;
"take care, 'Lezabeth; I have my eye
on him, I tell ye." •
'Tor what?' Inquired Mi. Caerlyon,
curiously.
"Oh, never mind," Mr. Pascoe replied,
rteleianed to confess such an unbecoming
weaknees as possible jealousy of Wim-
fred's affections; "there's things I've
noticed Lezabeth. I hope you're not
going to let Winnifred go over to Itoee-•

"Deed, I -don't know, 1 am sure,

"Elizabeth, mydear, call you spars

as he asked the question reluctantly,

Here Lieutenant Caerlyon, in despair,
Closed the sitting -room door with a
crash, and shut himself in, with the ob-
ject of stilling his spouse's noisy burst
of oratory,
"That is a nice wife for ajquiet eort

Captain Tredenniek to himself, as Mrs.
Caerlyon's shrewish ;tones reached. his
ears. "What possessed the Mart to roar-

welcome to the lady of the house, Cap-

her of it and relieve himself.

said, doubtfully, peering down the flag:

bread being cut and buttered on the
white table, and a busy little figure,
covered up in a cooking apron, going
to and fro between it and the fire.
"Good evening, Winnie dear," said he;

He pitied her so much -this pale,
gentle, intelliigont, rofined girl, am-
ongst such uncongenial companions
(they would be her companions'and
others like them, all her life through

silken sheen of her hair, and revealing
the.delicate violet shadows beneath her
deep, earnest eyes, which should shine
for the benefit of Mr. Thomae Paseoe
and the inine-workere of Tolgooth, un-
til her attraetions all faded and grew
gray and wrinkled with the world's

THE BRAVE TURK. •
(Ottawa Citizen)
The Turko-Balkan war is at least re-
vealing the great courage and bravery of
the Turleigh soldier, Though belonging to
a decadent nation, and possessing qual-
ities which do not commend him to favor-
able regard, he has shown in the cam-
paign a surprising courage. Iany ac-
counts have been eabted of the heroic
way in which he has stood calmly by the
guns without ammunition, \vatting for
the inevitable result of the Bulgarian
fire. In the recent great battle thousands
of Turks starved for eight days, en-
deavored bravely to stem the Bulgarian
advance, It IS a pity that so Much cour-
age was wasted tri a hopeless cause.

WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN?
(1ingston Whig)
The horses are 'sole in the -barn, or
Pasturage after dark. So are the cows.
Even the fowls are safely hmsed and
locked in. But where are the child-
ren of the home after dark? Are they
safely housed. Do their parents know
where they are? If asked, inany a fath-
er and many a mother wend say "We
don't know; They ma.y be at a neigh-
bors. they may be at ,chureb, they may
be at a. picture sbow, or they may be on

They may be learning something of what

A ,GOOD PRINCIPLE.
(Ottawa Citizen)
Too much stress cannot be put uPeu
the fundamental principle that all profit
which cannot shew a. corresponding con-
tribution of effort on the part of the taker
does not fulfil the coeditions required of
vainest wealth. Such a principle is revo-
lutionary to -day, but the sooner it is dee
Oared and Insisted upon the sooner will
Canada attain the condition of financial
integrity that otherwise must be imposs-
ible. The recent ruling of the court of
appeals is in direct line with the develop-
ment of this much needed principle.
THE TURK MUST GO.
(Ottawa Citizen)
There can be little doubt that the beat
conclusioe of the war to -day would be
the withdrawal. altogether 3f the Turk
from Europe, and the absorptim of Turk-
ish territory by the rest of E trope, Al-
most any method of partition would be
better than the continuatkin of Turkish
occupation and misrule. And in these
days of uncertainty, when the world's
view of Turkey is obscured by war eJouda
the best wish must be that ut last the
intruder is to take his leave.
