(HA ITER \ LVI.—(Cont.'d) "Ah! child! child' what a reproof you have been to 1114' from the very first c•( my acquaintance with you!'' exclaimed the women. sadly, when she cuneluded ; '.honor, kindness and charity have been your watch- words, and nobly you have lived up to there. 1 believe but for this very far t. 1 never should have made this cot fession. 1 should have carried my load of sin to the grave. You taught me that honesty and a clear cel:;ciente were more to be desired than all the treasures of earth, and directly after coming abroad, 1 started for Irvington Manor to re- store icy stolen jewel to the man whom 1 had doubly wronged. But Le was dead ---the manor was closed area the property unsettled --so 1 was told; thus niy repentance seem- ed to have come too late, for 1 tole( myself that 1 could never hum- ble myself enough to confess my guilt to the present generation. But when Mrs. Ring told rase the story of your marriage; that you were now Lady Irvington, and heiress to everything, the memory the marriage ref their son with the le autiful lady- of Irvington Manor, who, in their estimation, was it to- tally different person from the de- spised little apron maker of New Y c. rk. Miss Marjorie Dexter was sud- denly recalled (1) to i'hiladelphia, upon the first iutitnat• of Don- ald's plans, and. later, marrit d a wealthy porkpacker of Cincinnati. Mrs. Cushman and Madge were also present at the wedding, strange as it may t•cetus. When Esther tient her petition asking that Daisy and Frank might be allowed to officiate as maid and bent man, she sweetly intimated that, on her wedding day, she %ai t- ed to feel at peace with all the wrld, and so requested that all the flintily of her teethes's adopted brother would be present at her Marriage. Mrs. Cushman yielded, fur the rake of the prestige which would r•snit from the fact of being num- bered among Lady Irvington Lan- caster's friends; but the old bitter- ness still rankled in her heart, and of all your kindness inspired me a fierce jealousy also, because Es - with the desire to tell you all, and Cher had attained a position su far restore to you the long -lost heir- superior to tier own. loom. The knowledge that young r\ brilliant reception followed at Th,al nd Lancaster—who is the son the elegant. residence of the Kings, after wli eh Dor:ald and his wife went away fur a lung holiday, to travel on the Continent and v:sit of the man whom I have loved all my life—is soon to become your husband, has made the task some- what easier, for yon both are very dear to me, and it will be a great comfort to me to know that the Ir- vington heirlooms will be handed down intact to your children. 1 roost earnestly hope -that you will hate a long and happy life.

Steele, fosmerly coturnander of the Strath- cena Hose, and now in command of Military District No. 10, detailed the experiences of the North West Mi.unted Police in the early months of its existence. Suuguinary disorders in Saskat- chewan convinced the Canadian l;uternment of the necessity for proper policing of the unorganized territory Lying between the Great Lakes and the Rocky Mountains. The first corps of Mounted Polies vat organi/ed in 187:1, and left Ot- tawa on October 1st of that year, Major Walsh in command, the pre- sent ('ol. Steele next in rank.

We had several setbacks at the outset. A corral was formed com- posed of all the wagons, and one of the severe storms of the Red River Valley crone up. The horses were inside the corral, tied up with the usual picket lines. A thunder -bolt burst in the corral. The horses brt.ke 0sery'thing, upset the loaded n,rggnns and went through water five or six feet deep. They swam the Pembina Miser and went south with a rush. Those of us who were mounted made after them and brought thou back --one hundred and twelve iniles in twenty-four hours. Haying rested the .horses, we started west with a train of wag- gons two miles long and crossed the Souris River.

We took observations for latitude and longitude. and as there were few- places marked on the map, we struck within five miles of the point we were intended to reach. The 4th of September came and the usual autumn storms. We sat that we couldn't k. e p the hors- es alive, as no oats had been all w- ed We couldn't carry then( sur a long distance.
