that the best thing she eould do. was that lie could not fulfil his mission, raent, end with ruy small brown delf
to take a long rest, and. in the rnorning
she would be able to diseuse the affairs
of the future. Ruth was so weary and
distressed by all that happened within
such a short period, that she yielded to
all her kind hoetess suggested.
Then Mrs, Ware rejoined her hus-
band, and after a long conversation
with him he put on his hat and pro-
ceeded to Cedar Lodge. Be had not
been able to accomplish all that he had
intended to do,but lie resolved on the
On the following morning he would
tell Mr. Cawley very plainly that , he
had been mast unkind to his cousin.
Up to a late hour that evening the
good-natured Vicar half expected, or
hoped, that Mr. Cawley would corae to
hira for some inforraation about Ruth,
if not to ask her to return to the house
which had, been so long her home.
But be put out his lights and went
to bed without having received the
visit he had looked for.
Dr. Mowbray made an early call at
the Vicarage next day to see one of the
young ladies who was suffering frona a
slight cold which she had raagnified
into a severe attaok of bronchitis. Then
he heard something about the rupture
between Ruth and her cousin -not
mtech, certainly, for the girls had been
told nothing roore than that Miss
Hansford was to staa, with them for a
few days. But this was enough, to
make the young Doctor seek a full ex-
plaeation from the Vicar. To the lat-
ter, the position was an awkward one;
he did not know how much of his in-
, formation he was at liberty to repeat
-especially to Mowbray. Ile discover-
ed an excellent way out of the diffi-
eulty.
" Ahem 1 I think, Mowbray, you
ehould see Miss Hansford en your pro-
fessional capacity. She is really very
ill and requires advice. Then, as her
friend, I have. no doubt she will give
you all the particulars which you re-
quire, and Ns'hieh-well, in fact -which
I feel some reluctance to give without
her sanction. I will ask letrs. Ware to
inform her that you are here."
" Thank you. I am anxious to see
her, whether she is willing to make me
her confidant or not.
The Vicar went in search of his wife.
In a few minutes Mrs. Ware appeared,
and, after a formal greeting, conducted
the Doctor to a parlor overlooking the
garden; she was brisk in manner, and.
her expression distinctly suggested that
she was velar sanguine as to the result
of this visit. There are few women,
whatever may be their age, who do not
take an interest in a love affair.
Ruth was seated in a large easy -
°heir beside a comlortable fire. She
was dressed in black, and this rendered
the pallor of her face the more notice -
abbe; but a slight flush for a moment
suffused it when Mowbray advanced to
her. She rose, extending her hand,
which he- seized with more eagerness
than would be requisite if he only in-
tended to feel her pulse.
"Fray be seated, Miss Hansford. I
see that you are very weak, and you
must not task your strength."•
Smiling faintly, she resumed her
seat. He arranged the cushion behind
her with the tenderness of a mother
nursing a loved child; then he drew
back and knew that his own pulse
quickened with pleasure at sight of the
expression of gratitude on the pale
face.
"You must not think that, I am very
111, Dr. Mowbray. It is only -only a
little weakness due to much excite-
ment last night. Will you not be seat-
ed?" she added abruptly.
The Doctor took a chair, and his
earnest eyes examined her closely, -
though no word had. yet been spoken
to suggest anything between them
more than the ordinary relationship
of doctor and patient, both were con-
scious that an important crisis in their
lives was at hand. He saw that she
hesitated to explain to hirn fully the
nature of her trouble; and he hesitated
to attempt to win the secret from her.
B t that the cause of the breach be -
&t the door wise brougham, and in
the hall lie found Dr. Walnole (Pm
most popular physician of the district)
drawing on his gloves and giving in-
structionto two servants who were
listening with an expression of terror
on their faces.
Good morning, Mr. Ware," said the
great physician condescendingly. "1 ani
afraid we have a bad case here. Our
friend Mr. Cawley. has passed a very
restless night,' and is now in a state of
deliriam. The indiestions are tboaa of
smell -pox. I have lett one of my men
with him, and have telegraphed to Lon-
don for properly qualified nurses. Hope
you are all well at home. Excuse me,
I am very busy -good. morning." And
the pompous gentlemen entered' his
carriage and drove away.
The diagnosis proved. to be correct
an epidemic of small -pox had. been for
some time raging in the country, and
it bad seized Mr. Cawley in its most
virulent form, Nurses came and went;
the servants fled in terror from the
plague, and. the millionaire was left al-
most alone. As the delirium slowly
subsided, be wag vaguely conseious of
shadows flitting around his bed; when
the crisis had passed, and he awakened
as from a long and horrible dream, he
saw a slender figure, dressed in black,
standing beside him, and tenderly
moistening his feverish lips with some
liquid. Behind this figure was that of
a tall man was watching him
intently.
" Ruth-Nowbray," said the inva-
lid feebly. And, then, after a long
pause, "What does it all mean?"
"You maY speak," whispered Mow-
bray to Ruth; "I believe he is saved."
"You have been very ill, Cawley,"
said the gentle voice which he had
thought he would never hear again;
"bub you will soon be well now."
He closed his swollen eyes, and triad
to puzzle out the 'meaning of this
strange dream.; then he fell into a
natural sleep. His attendants were
no shadows now; and as he slowly re-
covered, he learned bit by pit how, when
he had been deserted by nearly every
one else, Ruth and Mowbran had nurs-
ed. him through his terrible illness.
On a bright Atte morning, when the
air was perfumed with roses, the bells
in the tower of the old parish church
rang out, a merry wedding peal, and
Ruth, in bride's attire, advanced to the
altar where Dr. Mowbray waited. The
Vicar was in his place ready to make
his two friends man and wifeis...gen-
tleman whose face was deeply pitted
by small -pox was brought up to the
altar in a wheel -chair, and gave away
the bride. Wheu the bride and bride-
groom were stepping into the carriage,
Le shook hands with -the man, he kiss-
ed the lady, muttering, "God bless you,
my child! May your life be long and
happy! I am happy now."
And it was the first time that lel.r.
Cawley ha,d been reallyhappy. His
illness had. proved a blessing to himself,
to Ruth, and to George Mowbray.

tween her and her cousin was a seri-
ous one, he could easily divine from the
effect it had had upon her.
"I may tell you," he said, gently,
"that I kncav something of what has
happened. You have left Mr. Caw-
ley's house owing to some misunder-
standing between you; but surely it
can be explained away? Mr. Cawley is
a gentleman of sound sense, andwould
not I am. sure, eause you unnecessary
distress."
She turned her head aside, and her
lips trerabIed slightly: she could not
tell him why Mr. Cawley had meted as
if he had very little sound sense in-
deed.
" I am afraid_ that reconciliation is
imposeible," she answered, without look-

"None save the Vicar and his wife.
You know that I have scarcely stirred
beyond the village since I was sixteen,
and have, therefore, had few opportuni-
ties of making such friends as .0 might
ask to help me in my present position."
The Doctor himself grew pale now;
and it was evident by his blanched lips
Iand the slight tremor of. his hands that,
he was greatly agitated. At length he
beat towards her, and his voice was
very low and earnest as he spoke,
" Miss Hansford, I am going to say
something that will startle you, and
perhaps. add to your disteese. Shall I
risk doing so? Do yoti. think yeti are
strong enough to hear me?"

Although we are both unmarried, yet

agrees with me in my egtimate of our
mutual cousin's ,character ; therefore I
think I may be allowed. to record it.
The last' generation of IVIissles con-
sisted of four brothers, the eldest of
Whom was Robert's father; the next,
mine; the third, Martha's; while the
fourth, who died childless, had been
the husband of Aunt Purpose.
We of the younger generation had
long been settleclin our parents' native
village of Nettlethrope, happy, to a
certain extent, in. our mutual carpings
and biekerings; when a great excite-
ment. was imported_ into the even tenor
of our lives by the news that Thom-
SOn-the local house -agent -had been
written to by Aunt Purpose, author-
ising him. to take, in her name, a
moderately sized house in our primi-
tive little hamlet.
Now, one word about Aunt Purpose.
Uncle job, her husband, had held. an
official appointment in the East Inclids,
where he had met and married her.
Nothing was heard of them for. some
years; and then news arrived of hie
death. Again an interval of silence
occurred, to be broken by the intelli-
gence that our widowed relative whom
we had never seen, was about to come
and live in the midst of us, actuated
thereto by a wish to end. her days
amongst her hpsband's kindred, as she
had none of her own. The fact of her
being a stranger to us, would have
been sufficent to have awakened a cer-
tain amount of irtterest in her arrival;
therefore, our unusual. excitement may
well be understood when Robert discov-
ered, by some means or other -hg. is
such a terrible* one for sifting and pry-
ing into things, but there! menalways
are so curious -that she was the owner
of a most wonderful and almost price-
less set of brilliants, that had -been pre-
sented. to her by a great Maharajah,
to whose children she had been. gover-
ness. Again, it was said that she was
penurious and miserly in her habits, as
we knew our uncle had been. He had,
left her everything at his death; there-
fore, she ro.nst be, we argued, at least
comfortably rich. East Indians are
never really poor. Their wealth is pro-
verbial. Kithless and kinless, save for
ourselves, her approach filled us with
joyful anticipations; and already in im-
agination each one of us saw himself,
or herself, the owner of her matchless
jewels and sole inheritor of her wealth.
Martha and I were just discussing our
second cup, and speculating as to the
time of the old lady's arrival, then daily
expected, when suddenly my little
maid -of -all -work, whom I had des-
patched to the village on a marketing
expedition, dashed. into the room with
her aims full of packages, and her
tongue charged to its extreme tip with
gossm.
'Well, Mary, what is it?' asked
Martha, who saw that the child was
bursting with news.
'011, if you please, nem, she's come,
and druv all the way in 'obson's one -
'arse shay, with a great screaming

m'm', she added, turning apologetically
to me, as she at length paused. in her
lengthly harangue to get back her
breath, 'but I stopped to see 'ern take
in the luggage arid. things.'
There was no need for any name to
be mentioned. We both knew that
she could only .be referring to Aunt
Purpose. A rigid cross-examination
followed; but all that we could elicit
from our informant was that Mrs.
1Vlissie was a little, shrivelled -looking
old woman, with a very yellow face,
and a pair of bright black eyes just
like a bitd.
' Did you eee Mr Robert there?' I
asked uneasily.

comment as she rose and began to put
on hor shawl and gloves.
I wanted to be by. myself to think
over matters, a.nd decides as to nay Aunt
Purpose, so ' I did not press her to
stay; and I could easily see that she
was quite as eager to leave me.

her usual doubting, hesitating mari-

would be maieb better if we were to

certain to be tired. after her journey.
You might, however; send Mary round
' latex. to inquire after her, and

After Martha had left me, 1 sat
cogitating and tonsidering. TO wait

when we knew ehet Robert was al-
ready, laying siege to Aunt Purpose's
affections, I felt uncomfortable at

ONTARIO'S IRON ORES
-a.-
Beginning, to Atfract the Attention of
Foreign Cap 1 ta I is ta. •
The hematite iron deposits in the
Mattawin range, in North-western On-
tario, are commencing to attract the
attention of foreign capitalists, and
their development will be carried on in
the future with considerable vigour.
The first indication of increased activ-
ity has already been shown,. The Beth-
lehem Iron Company: of South Bethle-
hem, Pa., has sectered an option on
several properties from Messrs. Volger,
of Kingston, Hammond, of Port Ar-
thur, and the other parties interested,
and a party of rainers with an expert
will be sent out immediately to explore
the locations and report upon them,
with a view to a perehase, in which
case work will be vigorously prosecut-
ed. The Bethlehem Company is one of
the strongest in its business ia the
United States. Its works were enlarged
a few years ago in order to enable it
to carry on the manufacture of nickel
steel armour plate for the navy battle-
ships. Heretofore it has brought its
hematite ore from Cuba and elsewhere,
but the proprietors have now turned
their attention to the Ontario fields.
The range. crosses the Matteis -in river
in the vicinity at the Three Falls, and
it is possible that eleetric power may
be obtained from this source, not only
for working the mines, but to operate
the railway branch which will have to
be built. The iron locations of the Mat-
tawen range are situated from twelve
to twenty miles off the lines of the
C.P.R., and the Port Arthur, Duluth,
and Western road. The range was in-
spected by Mr. Archibald Blue, Director
of Mines, during his recent trip, and
be expresses himself as c.onficlent that
development will show a great amount
of mineral which will prove of much
value to the country.

Well, the, Ruby s in;

'No,' I answered with a quiet tri-
umph, for I was glad that he had been
done; 'of course not, because she came
in the Stella. I read the name on her
luggage. I have just come from the
Cottage, -where I was received most
kindly. 1 you had come back by the
express instead of waiting for the par-
liamentary, you would have had the
pleasure of travelling with her.'
'Then, you've seen her ?' he groaned
in an anxious tone,as he mopped the
perspiration from his dusty face, for it
is a good five miles' walk from the
station.
Wen, no -not exactly. The fact is,
she is too tired to see any one to -night;

I knew, however, that he would never
rest without going to the Cottage ; so,
as soon as I got home, I planted my-
self at my bedroom window to watch
his movements. In a short time I saw
hon come out into his garden. His face
had been washed and his coat changed.
First, he picked two or three large
sycamore leaves, with which he lined a
small flat punnet basket that he held
in his other hand; then he advanced to
the south wall, and stopped before the
nectarine tree about which he makes
such a fuss. One, two, three. Oh, how
carefully and reluctantly, he picked the
ripe bruit! I could not help smiling as I
watched him. -I knew the action must
have gone tohis heart. He says that
he sends the produce of his garden to
his friends; but I know better. They
are paying friends, and their address is
