Mrs. Garvock pondered a moment,
and then said outright that Mrs. Sil-

noon with the astounding nevus.

"that I was awfully sorry when it hap-

was quite powerless. It, was a case
of -love at first sight, if ever there
was one!"
Lucy rose up suddenly, and her
mother observed her lips, whitenun .
g
"I spoke very straightly to Carlotta,
and told her she couldn't expect to
prosper after what she had done. It
was a shame to treat a decent, honor-
able gentleman as she treated Mr.
Peter Garvock; but there! What was
the use of -talking to Carlotta? Why,
just none at all! I don't believe there
will ever be a marriage'. between her
and Alan Rankine. If he was so des-
perate •about her, he ought to have car-
ried her off with him. I know what
London is. And Carlotta has looks!
She, may do much better for herself."
Mrs. Garvock, smiling somewhat
painfully, rose then, and said they
must not detain her any longer.
"I thank you again for writing that
kind little letter to me. I showed it
to my son, and though he did not.„say
anything about it, I am sure it pleased
him.”
A gratifiedsmilecame on Mrs. Car-
lyon's face.
"Did it? I should like to have seen
him—only once, to tell him I had no
hand in it at all. He was always very
kind to me, Mrs. Garvock, and like. a
son to the Professor; and .I don't •care
though Carlotta should marry a duke
—which, indeed might happen;" she
added, -with a little conscious smile,:
"but he never could be better nor kind-
er than Mr. Garvock was, in the time
he came about this house."
They parted most amicably, and, as
it happened, were not the last -visitors
from The Lees to call at the Clock
House on that eventful day.
Peter himself heard in the town that
'the pantechnicons were before the
Oleo's House, door, and, knowing that
Carlotta had gone, he walked quite
deliberately down the Sandgate, and
into the house, just as -his mother had
done. a -
But Mrs. Canyon shrank back a
little at sight
of him, both
because he
seemed very much changed, so thin
and shrunken, and also because it was
a very different thing discussing Car-
lotta with Peter's mother and with
Peter himself.
"Oh, how do you, do, Peter?" she
said, in tones, which her discomfort
made a little shrill. Then she redden-
ed furiously. "Mr. Garvock, I ought
to say, but I forgot. Odd; 'that you

Peter'shook his head;

said Mrs. Canyon hastily; and at the

see how he would take the news. "She

Potatoes Make Ireland Poor.
All through modern history Ireland
has been more or less poverty stricken,
a condition brought about by the fact
that the` chief food of' the Irish has al-
ways been potatoes. One acre of po-
tatoes produces twice as much food as
one acre of wheat aiid•at less expense
and less trouble not only in the field,
but in she cooking.
As .a natural result there has been
no reason for the Irish to labor hard
and as a natural sequence the popula-
tion of Ireland has 'always i re
$ increased
twice as rapidly as .that of England;
This -brings about -a sur,phis of labor
with the result.that, as in Indian and
other . countries of a similar nature,
very.: few of the•people have ever be-
come possessed. of much wealth.
The Irish have had no use for money.
By working a few'weeks in' the year
they could sustain life 'for the whole
year, and this continued'£o"be the con-
dition in Ireland up to 1846 wheii'a dis-
ease attacked and destroyed the crops

numbers and it became a; habit which
has lasted until the present day.
These conditions were aided by mis
government which gave•. the Irish a
chance to be born fighters, while the
intervals of peace left them free to
dream of fairies and imps so that to-
day Ireland has more quaint songs and
superstitions than'all the rest of the
world combined.

- Why Bread and Butter?
Until recently no one was• able to
say just -why' bread and butter are al-
ways associated as articles of our diet.
It has now been shown that there is
such a substance as. an. "anti -vitamin,"
or good property, which nullifies the
nfluen'ce of the bald` property in bread
and other cereals.. •
Thednew discovery shows, for ex-
ample, why the people' of the cold
north eat blubber and animal oils,:
while people of the south use olive and
vegetable oils. Animal oils, it has
been found, have properties that ore,
possessed by the, sun's 'rays. In the
Arctic regions sunlight is compana•:
tively rare,' and so fat is eaten: in its
place. Vegetable fate, on the other
hand, do not contain"this property.

Fraser and I were playing a game of

A Lost Continent.
Does the Atlantic Ocean roll over a
lost continent? Le Plongeon, who de-
ciphered the hieroglyphics among the
ruins of Yucatan, in Central America,
came upon inscrlption.a describing a
Catastrophe which submerged -the old
