how very apparent she had made Th
that she was sombrely. wrapped :n
thought.
Often afterward she smiled to re-
-call how she had broken at last the
discourteous silence which was un-
usual with her.
In the elderly manner she thought
fit to assume, she proffered an inch
of encouragement to the grim -seem-
ing person besider her, alluding affa-
bly to the want of picturesqueness
. around her. Possibly he considered
the fact too self-evident to need die-
•cussion, for he assented in the bald-
est manner.
"I hate flatness," she continued
pensively. "in scenery or people."
Again he agreed, with no embel-
lishment of language.
"Where is Hayrack's?"
The question was perhaps a little
impatient considering the elderly
.style she had adopted; but to all ap-
pearance this did not strike her lis-
tener.
'Very little way ahead of us now."
"Who liven at Ilarrack's?"
"I do."
"Oh'"
He did not look around, so could
.not have been aware of her expres-
sion as the startling fear swept over
.her, that she had made some egre-
gious blunder, or that Sarah Eales
had done so for her.
"Do you mean it -- that it :s
.your house?" she asked, feverishly,
"Oh, no. I ani sorry to have
•alarmed you. I have no house."
She would never have confessed
what relief the blunt words gave
her. She certainly did her best not
to betray it. "Why did not the man
who drove me into Thawdon bring
.este back?"
"Because I arrived in time.
Though you were not aware of it, I
.asked your permissioanc to take his
place. I am staying in Dewring, and
•old Amos had to come and meet ms.
Did ho not tell you so?"
"He ought to have done so, then I
:should not have seemed so imperti-
nent. Still, had you deigned to lis-
ten to me in Thawten you would
have known my name and destina-
tion — not to mention my antece-
dents, and my ambition in taking
this 'seat instead of Amos."
"I beg your pardon for not listen-
ing to you. Who is Antos?"
"The factotum of Harrack's Bea-
con, where I have billeted myself
People call it ITarrack's to save
time."
"I ant going to Ioclge there."
It struck her after'tvard that
she had expected him to say
he was delighted, because it was
such a surprise when he merely in-
quired with tranquility what she
•supposed she should find to do at
Hayrack's Beacon.
"What do you do?"
"I? Heaven knows. Sleep is a
•great resource."
"Indeed it is," with readinods. "I
. am happily a sleepy person. Why is
it called Harrack's Beacon?"
"There used to be a church on the
. spot, and sailors knew its tower as
,one of the Channel Beacons. Long
years ago the reigning Atheling blew
up the old church, that he might
have a pretty site—separate from
•the Tower, yet within reach of it. --
to build a church for an imbecile
child and his attendants.
"There always seemed a curse up-
on the house, though, and at last
.none of the Athelings would live
there, and they sold it. One and an-
other tried it, and gave it up after
sore distress, until Barrack—tvho-
ever he may have been—bought it
and hopefully raised a windmill close
to it All sorts of things happened
to that twill that never happened to
any other, until the sails were gone,
as well as Iiatrrack's business, and
the white mill stood useless. But
then it became a beacon, as the old
church tower had been, and front
tnat time things grew better,, and
• every one knew that IIarraek k,td
appeased the devil by this huivan-
itarian use of his mill."
"Should you have fancied," she
asked, "the devil would have troubl-
.•ed himself to resent the destruction
of a house of prayer?"

soled by this humanitarian use of

bird and fetches hint on her way."
"But their are no Athelings now."
"Not in name, but quite enough of
the old stock still "
"What a good thing we are not
Athelings, as we stay in Hayrack's
Beacon."
"It is good—for you," he said,
looking straight before h.im.
"Who lives --I do .not mean lodges
—at Harrack's?"
"Mrs. Frayd. May we oblige each
other by 'avoiding the palpable pun
and assume, without saying so, that
she .is always afraid—of that thing
of evil, whether bird or devil?"
"Who else?"

whip to where the ivy-covered trunk
of it disused wind -mill stood upon
the height. "We have to turn
abruptly up to it from Dewring. The
gradual assent beyond ie the Tower."
At the mention of that word the
girl suddenly began to be aware that
she had wasted a valuable opportun-
ity.' "Is the Tourer 1 far from 'Har -
rack's?" she asked, her voice act-
ually trembling in her anxiety to re-
trieve the loss of time,
"I thought so until I found • that
on the night of the murder at the
Tower the din of the alarm -bell there
was not heard at Harrack'a. 1 sup-
pose the wind was against it."
"I should think," shuddering, "you
were glad you did not hear it."
"1 canto to Dewring next day."

so briefly that her cheeks burned; yet "She is very lovely, is not she?"
for ell her sensitive pride, she turn-
ed round to him with a look of quiet
determination.
"Do you object to hearing of—
that?".
"Why should I?" he asked, turn-
ing, also and looking her square in
the eyes.-
And
yes.-And there and then she made up
her Mind that this Was a really ugly
man, with 'hollow cheeks and untidy
hair, and eyes that were fierce as
well as melancholy. It was not un-
til she had the sun to aid her scru-
tiny that she discovered how with
all its lines—and they were not a
few for a man of thirty-five—there
was no single line of weakness in the
rugged face, and that at all theses
Steven Basset had that indescribable
air of breeding which no man can
counterfeit.
"Are they a proud family— arro-
gant, I mean, and likely to off:ud
people?" she asked, feeling her way
anxiously, not to waste the precious
minutes they should occupy in
mounting the steep lane up which—
perhaps for the lazy pony's sake,
perhaps for her own, in any case to
the girl's delight—her driver Was
letting the pony••creep as he would.
"Surely you will allow they ought
to be, as they can bear their crest
upon their .cap of maintenance. You
understand?"
'"01 course."
"I am glad of that. I can't say I
do."
"You don't like then?" asked the
girl, gravely.
"Then! Would you sweep the
whole family away in one liking? I
confess to a sneaking affection for
myself; and I ani one of them."
"Oh f"
"That tone strikes me as
pressive; but what does it
if I may ask?"
"I think"—with a brilliant blush
—"it meant to express an apology
for speaking to you of your own
family."
"Oh, you need not mind that. Tho
late head of my family had an ex-
alted aversion to me, and as t never
could bear to be behind Miles in' any-
thing, I- kept up with hint in hatred
too."

There ate times when she is a little
wearisome, but that is not my own

"She does not affect anything. She
is always good and natural," cried
Derry, het eyes .ablaze. "But I de-

tioning of you. She is my sister."

The gate into the mill inelosure
had beon opened for them by a well-
dressed, middle-aged man, who had
been leaning on it, and' who raised
his hat as they passed through, di-
recting an interrogatory glance at
Mr. Baesct,.
"All right," that gentleman . ob.
served. "I will stroll back here and
speak to you."
"That," ho tersely explained to
Derry, "is a detective."
"Oh, I am so glad," she cried.
"Then people are doing something to
discover the truth. It is my one
great, absorbing desire."
"What a pity," lazily, as the ponv
walked to the door; "women -- es-
pecially girls, and more especially
frank girls -- are not cut out for
that sort of thing. I would drop all
thought of it if I were you. Take my
advice -- though why on earth
should you take my advice? . - ani
don't trouble your young }lead with
such horrors."
"I must," she answered with grave
steadfastnese, "It is right."
"On the contrary, it is wrong,"
was the serene reply. "I shall lift no
finger to help those idiots."
"If I were a man, I would never
rest till the murderer is punished,"
she cried, fully aware, next moment
what ample excuse lie would have
for smiling at her impatient, worth-
less words. But he did not smile.
She even fancied that his eyes had an
anxious light in them when he coolly
lifted Tier from the little cart.
"Ole, Miss 'Ope, I have been so
upset," ejaculated Derry's landlady,
leading her in -doors. "I've been
blaming myself for not having told
Mrs. Bales about it, but really she
gave me no time, she was in such a
urry to get back to Miss Ella, You
see Amos had to meet Mr. Basset
by that train, and, as my little car-
riage only 'olds two, of course Amos
had to give up his place. I was so
sorry. It was such a pity to have
you put out so, just on your first
evening."
"But why are you sorry?" asked
the girl, wondering to herself wheth-
er she could really have been put
out, and whether that accounted for
it all.
"Because, you see, Miss 'Ope" —
in lowered tones — "Mr. Basset is
a constant smoker, and I felt you
mightn't like nearly four miles of
tobacco. And more than that" — in
lower, and more concentrated tones
—"he does so 'ate wom—ladies."
"I see," the girl said, with per-
fect comprehension.
"Yes, I see," she said again to her-
self, half an hour later, as she look-
ed from the window. For site saw
Steven Basset, his brown head bare,
and a brown pipe in his mouth, lean-
ing lazily against the gate as he lis-
tened to the detective, evidently re-
veling in the fact that his companion
was not a woman.

Derry's cheeks were blushing tinder
the wintery morning's kiss, when,
• after an early run, .she reached the
top of the steep lane up to ilarrack's

ped at the door by which she remem-
bered leaving hes- room. its upper
half was glass,.serving the purpose
of a window, its lower half painted
in a dingy shade of chocolate, and
she remembered what an obstinate

how she had wrestled with it before

OUR SERIO-COMIC GOVERNORS.
(The following is meant as a slight
suggestion of a possible comic opera.

cerned, the piece is pare comedy, but a

So'o by Sir Wilfii3 Laurier (whose
salary is increased from $8,000 to
$12,000):
On a delicate subject like this
I prefer not to say very vouch—
You would not expect ns, to miss
Such a chance for a treasury touch,
In my own individual case
You'll acknowledge there's some slight
excuse,
For the Premier must go a good pace—
But the rest—they may take their
abuse!
(Exit, with a graceful bow and
apologetio air.)
Solo by R. L. Borden, M. P. (who as
leader of the Opposition gets a salary of
$7,000):
I'm a man of high Ideals, I believe that
right should rule,
And the height of my ambition
little lad at sobool
Was to serve my King and nation in the
old and knightly way,
Never thinking for a moment if it would
or wouldn't pay.
Now I've comes to years of manhood I
have undergone a change,
I know that knightly notions now are out
of date and strange,
And if I can't be Premier
goodly laws and wise,
I'll take seven thousand salary to simply
criticize.
Chorus of ex-Cabiuet Ministers (who
held office for five years and are there-
fore to get a pension of $3,600 each per
year) :
In our time we served the nation,
Or we thought we did;
Laid its sure and strong foundation—
Then put on the lid.
In our years of plane and power
Feathered each his nest,
Still we won't reject this dower
Now upon ns pressed.
We have all enough for living—
Millions more or less—
But a grateful country's giving—
Slowly we say "yes."
(Retiring with a reluctant air.)
Duet, one Touch of Nature, eto., by
Sir Mackenzie Bowell and Hon. George
E. Foster (who draw $0,000 per year
hereafter):
It is strange what a change has
over m two
Since the days of long ago;
Then we bitterly fought and
quently thought
Of the things we might let people
know.
But of late times have changed—we're
no longer estranged,
And to live in sweet peace we began,
For a treasury touch (six thousand's not
mach)
Is apt to make enemies kin.
The Mermaid.
The mermaid cannot skip the rope—
You'll see why at a glance—
She cannot ride astride, or hope
To ever learn to dance.
Her stockings good old Santa Clans
May not expect to find;
But she will never fret because
Her skirt hangs wrong behind.
The mermaid cannot learn to go
Oa roller-skates, or stray
Through pastures where wild roses blow
And frisky lambkins play;
Her case Is very sad, and yet
It might be worse b9 far:
We know that she will never get
Off backward from a car.
The mermaid cannot promenade
Along the avenue,
Or ever atoll in pathways made,
Just wide enough • for two.
The mermaid cannot run to meet
Her love; but, after all,
She'll never have to pinch her feet
In shoes a size too small.

We are creatures of anofent invention—

Of our doings you hear little mention,
But that's not our fault—it's our fate.
We are dignified, very, and stately,
Ornamental, 'tie said, to the state;
In discussion we speak most sedately
And sometimes some of ns speak late.
Our work consists mainly of talking—
No real reason ashy we should exist;
Sometimes we get busy in blocking
