The Government has intimated that there will be no compromise. 4 e* Windsor is the marrying town, In the hot three months 900 nuptial knots were tied there. Ninety-five per cent. of the couples were non.residents, most of them from the United. States. The nineteen principal English rail- way companies operating 13,030 miles of track earned in the first half of this year an increase of nearly 5 per eellt. in net earnings. In 1989 the Pennsylvania- Railroad established a relief fund, and since that time there has been paid. out of it over $31,000,000 And yet it is said that cow porations are heartless! Within the last two or three years copper prices have been cut in two. Sales are .now being made at 1214 cents and 12 cent copper is looked forward to. That will be good news to the elec- tricians. From Mexico comes stories of whole- sale executions and horrible cruelties growing out of the rebellion against Madero's authority. Conditions in Mex- ico are very unsettled, and for a time It will be a good country to keep away from. OW` United States naval officers who con- tend that the battleship "Maine" was destroyed by an internal explosion say that the wreck of the "Liberte" was ex- actly like that of the "Maine," and fur- nishes overwhelming proof of the sound- ness of their theory of accident. , The fire losses of Canada and the United States in September were $11,- 333;250, the smallest for the month in three year. The total for the 9 months, however, is nearly 20,000,000 greater than for the same period of the last three years. Have you made your fortune it Pereu- pine yet?

Among the Chicago market quotations le found one of the price of gallstones, which sell at $100 a pound at the Union Stock Yards. They are in demand by Japanese, who sell them as devil -chasers to the Chinese. Whei carved into, suf. ficieutly terrible shapes, they are said to be an efficient protection for Chinese beset by devils. ' A few days ago a New York judge sentenced a man to a year in peniten- .tiary for earryng a pistol without a per- mit. This is the first conviction under the new State law which makes it a mis- demeanor to have a pistol in one's pos- session without a license, and which makes carrying eoncealed. weapons a fel- ony. Its enforcement will probably dis- courage the habit. The Mayor of Indianapolis resorted to extreme measures to reduce the cost of potatoes to the people. He imported a number of carloads, which were slaugh. tered at priees that made them welcome to the people. Now, however, he finds that he is going to lose money on the transention. But it is probable that if an election be near, he will get many potatoonade votes. The United Kingdom consumed last year 82.43 lbs. of sugar per capita.

The difficulties of the sit- uation seemed to beceme greater and greater as he porulered it In hie ruled lie moved from the whitlow, and Walk- ed slowly uparid down the room. Mar. gery, the girl he had loved, trusted, revered, the girl lie was about to seek in a farolistant clime, was under the same roof with him at that very in- stant, the wife of his host, the Earl of -Court. It was inexplicable, Hie mind could, fead no solution te tbe problem; he eould but wait for morning light,' Stuart was not the only one who was awake and disturbed that night. Mar- gery, clad in a silk dressing gown as white as her cheeks, was piecing the floor of her chamher. She bed pleaded ilineirs, and begged to be left with. Pauline; and, once alone, she sent her maid into the dressing room and fought the hattle with herselt In solitude. If sorrow, despair, anguish, bad crime to her before, they visited her now with redoubled force, it seemed to ber the very irony of fate, a moekisry of her good intentions, that she should be so tried at such a moment—a moment when she had thought heiseifa conqueror over her weakness. Of what avail had, heen her struggles, her earnest prayers, her resolutions? The sight of Stuart's grilse, handsome face, the intoxication of his presence, had left her weak; the memory of his insults, ti e deceit, had banialuel everything but the knowledge that she hived 'him still. She louged for the weary night to pass, yet dreaded, the coming of morning, when she must meet him, speak to him, when his every word would be its a dagger thrust into. her heart Dawn was creeping over tbe sky when, thoroughly wearied and ill, she flung herself 'upon her, bed,' As she lay, her eyes fell On the sapphire ring that she were, and the memory of Enid—her pa. Hence, her suffering, her courage—stole into her heart. Then her mind wandered to her husband, and to all his great goodness; and, rememberiug this, she sent up a fervid prayer for strength to de her duty to this man; and, as the sighing 'plea left her heart, she grew coni- fer ted, "And grief shall endure not forever, I know; As things that are not shall these things he; We shall live through seasons of sun and of snow, .And none be grievous as the; to me. We shall hear, as one in a trance that hears The sound of time, the rhyme of the years; Wresikedrahvope and Passionate rein will g As tender things of a springtide sea," * * * * ..* 4 Stuart left his room early; and, despite the cold, gloomy morning, made his way into the grounds to think, and nerve himself for the coming ordeal. He look- ed pale and wan; hie eyes had neves closed all night, his restless thoughts had never left him, His task was ended, he told himself—his main was found. He must just state the truth, and then go away from her fair, false sweetness, back to the long, straight,path of duty, back to the woman who hea loved ltim no long and so well, back td his pledged word and the burden of life. He was walking to awe fro beneath the leafless trees, his heart almost as dead and 'withered as the leaves beucath his feet, when a cheery voice heeled him, and, turning, he saw the earl. "You are out early, Crosbie," cried Lord Court, as he approaehed, "I sew you front my windows! Then, in a tone of surprise, be added: "But you look ill; IS anything the matter?" "I did not sleep well," returned Shim t, hurriedly, "for I have had a retook. 1 am going to tell you all about it," "A shock," repeated the earl, with a smile. "Don't say the snanbr is haunted. I believe it is most •unorthodox not to hnr a family ghost, but I have never heard yet that we have one." "It is not a ghosti it le a reality. I meant to have spoken to yon last night, bui / Was eo surprised that I email hard- ly realize the truth of what I saw. I will explain now." "Come indoors," said Lord Court, looking a little bewildered; "it is scarce-. ly sultry out here. Now, Crosbie, I am n11 attention—begin," es they entered the house. "You are aware I was about to start for Australia next week. De you know why?" "No,' answered the earl, "and, to tell you the candid truth, I was just it little puzzled as to the cause of your hasty de. pa rture." alt was to fulfill e wish of my dead combo Douglas (levant, Ile left a daughter; it was in search of her I was to sail on Thursday next." "A daughter! 'Why, 1 never knew Gerant was inarried!" "It was a secret," said Stuart; "hut I have the whole hietory in a letter which he confided to my care. Now come' the strange part of the story. Tide daughter was thought to be in Australia, was even traced to that part Of the world, when suddenly, as 1 anaebout to start to find her, by one of those extraordinary turns of fate, f mine face to face with the cousin I seek—here—in your house:" Lord Court stooa still and looked at Stuart earnestly. •"In my home!" he (laded, slowly, as if doribting his ears. "Vilio is it?" -Your wife." "My wife—Margery: You' are jet. ing!" ",Testing!" repeated Stuart, grittily. "I was never sto serious In all my life!

Pauline was tripping down the stairs, "hfiladi is in the south room —MAR would attend the dejeurter," the girl said; and the earl walked quickly down a long .corridor to a door hung With heavy curtains. "We will tell her now," he whispered; and in another moment they were in the room. Stuart's vision was obscured for the first few seconas, then it cleared, and he Balv a slender, graceful girl with fair pale cheeks a.nd a wreath of red -gold earls before him, She had her hand clasp- ed in the earl's; and, as WS senses re- turned, Stuart saw her deep -blue eyes grow dark with surprise, and her face become whiter than the folds of tbe heavy serge gown that draped, her.

Souse of peace stole over him' . mired soothing evords'in her ear, and the fire -light flickered amid the fast. she gradually awoke to the reality. growing shadows. Stuart's head drooped, "He was my father," she said, dream- his eyes closed, and his troubled spirit ily; then, with a sudden rush of remeng brance—"Ale now I understand all!" She sunk into a chair and buried her face in ber hands. Presently she rose, saying to the earl, "Tell me every- thing." Lord Court put his lips to her hand. 'Crosbie will do that, my darling; he Is your cousin now, you must remember. Give him your hand, and bid him 'wel- come to your home as your kinsman and your friend; you were too ill last eel& to do so?' Margery's heart seemed to stand still, then, nerving herself for the effort, she stretched out her hand, "You are welcome, cousin," she said, in a faint voice: Their fingers met for an instant, then dropped apart; and Margery turned away, feeling that the agony of this *meeting was almost greater than she could bear. The earl drew her gently toward him. She was too weak to offer any resist- ance—was even glad of the support; and, standing with her husband's arm around. her Margery heard the story of her father's sorrow and her mother's martyrdom slowly but distinctly from Stuart Crosbie's lips. The words went home to her heart; the despair, the misery,. caused her unspeakable pain; and tears rained from hex eyes. The earl, wrapped up in his thought for his wife, took no notice of Stuart's agitation and pallor. He did not shink it strange that the young squire of Crosbie Castle should have been so sur. prised at seeing Margery. His sister bad told him the girl's history, as she had beard it from Miss Lawson, and, re- membering that his wife had been call- ed a village girl, it was not likely iter aetions would be known at the castle. He only felt a great wave of gratitude and happiness fill his heart. The mystery of ber birth solved, Margery would now be content, and there would be no bar - tier to their complete happiness. .As Stuart spoke of Beecham ',ark Margery raised )ter head. "The estate is mine?" she said, slowly. "Yore are the next heir," answered Stuart. "Therefore you are a great lady," put in Lord Court, smiling. "Beecham Park is one of the finest places in Eng- land. But come, Crosbie; sit down. This has been a morning of surprises, but We roust eat, or we shall sink beneath them altogether. You must pay us a long visit now, for you have no reason to go—has he, Margery? When there was Australia to consider, it was an- other thing." So the earl dratted on, eager to rouse Margery from the areams into which she had Wien; and with a gliterce at Stuart he adroitly turned the conversa- tion andeplunged into other topics. Margery was silent. She could not eat—her brain was in a whirle and at last she ould bear her distress no long- er, and with a murmured apology she went slowly to the door. "Yes, rest, my darling," said Lord Court; as he followed her—"this news has been too much for you; but, before you go. tell your cousin that if he de- parts it will be at the risk of your grave displeasure." Stuart had risen, and their eyes met'. "You will stay," she said faintly; and then the door closed, and she was gone. CHAPTER XXVII. Should lie go or stay? was the burn- ing qtrestion in Stuart's miud. all Hutt morning. Duty and honor bade him tear himself away; yet there was some- thing nrysterbets and altogethet apart from the inthrallment of Margery's presence that kept him. Be spent the long hours 'walking about the grounds with the earl, forcing himself to A's. cuss the all-importaut subject of Mar- gery's birth the: while he was growing faint and weary with the struggle that raged within him. The eurprise, the sleepless night, the agitation at last began to tell; and, as the afternoon advanced, Stuart Was obliged to confess that he was quite exhausted and could evAlk no further. The earl was full of contritioo for his thoughtleness. "Come back to tbe house. Would yen prefer to go to your own room? If not, rest in my alene 1 can answer for its Ocoee and cozineee." Stuart preferred the "den"; the mis- ery of the previous night haunted him —he Tutted the thought of his luxurious bedroom. The earl led the way to the north wing of the house, Aud, going to the extreme end of a orridor, push. ed open the door of an Apartment that seemed to Warrant his etatentent. It was three.cornered and quaint, And at the end branched off into Another room which led through a long French window to the grounds. Lord Court closed .the door between the two root" and, mush. ing a ehair to the fire, made hi a guest eomfortable, handing him at the same time the betel' ef neevepapers that haa just arrived. from London. "Now yen are settled," he said, gen- Jelly.

Are you. eons Yen won't bs bored?" Stuart replied in the negetives Anil, sifter seeing lihn cosily enscoused, Lord Court quitted the room, and made hie woy to the stables. Left to Mason, Stuart leaned back wearily, an gave way to thought. Once again tbe etruggle raged between duty and desire. The love that he had thought was treasured only for his ideal lived for tbe wonaan who had deceived bim, and swept away all memory of tbat other girt who through all her trouble and 'sorrow 'had soothed and helped Irina There was everything to call him awaste yet he felt lie could not go until lie had gazed, once More en the delicate beard:y. that had imenuel to.him the persombeatia of truth, and sweetness in the summer that was gone. There wise eomethiog altogether strange and incempreheneinie in Margeryet mar- riage. The earl had casually mention- ed the love that his dead sister had had for his wife, and Stuart would have fol- lowed up the reniark in order to learn how it was that the village girl had beeome the Countess of Court; but the earl would talk of nothing 'bot Sir Douglas Gerant and the wonderful dis- covery of his daughter. Stuart top up his paper and forced himself to read; but the woe& seemed to run into each other, and his mied refused to be diverted from the mystery and perplexity that tormented me, As be lay back wearily gazing into the glowering coals, he saw his duty clearly—he must leave the manor and put every beerier between Margery and himself. Vane had , been true, faithful, devoted; to her he would was soothed in slumber. The afternoon grew into winter dusk; the fire had settled in a glowing mass of red embers, and not a sound diethrbed the silence. Presently the door Was opened gently, a white Irene. puebed aside the curtain, and Margery stool. In. the chair. - "I was dreaming," he answered, hur- riedly; • "but I am awake now, Lady Court," The color faded from Margery's face. "Your husband has gone to Beverly Town," Seuare connoted, in a voice that sounded strange in his own ears. "He settled me comfortably in his own' 'den' before. starting„ and told Inc that he would be home to dinner' Margery bowed. her heed, and turned toward the door, when Stuart awned forward as if to .arrest her. 'As I shall leave you this evening," he said, hurriedly, "1 wilt take the present opportunity of informing yew tbae the letter and proofs I spoke of this, morn- ing shall be sent to you as soon as pos. table "You are very kind," responded Mar- gery, as calmly as possible; 'thank yell for all you have done." There was a pause.

"How often we have discussed the story of my mother, yet how far we were from the truth! And we were cousins all the time." "What use is there in retailing the past?" asked the young mare hoersely, "It can bring nothing but pain." Margery looked op at his pale drawn face. "Pain," she repeated, slowly. "I won- der if you know what pain I.have suf. fered." She spoke unconseiouslY, urged by the memory of all her sorrow, her girlish de- spair ford her humiliatioa. , "What should give you pain?" cried Stuart' harshly, folding his arms in his agitation. "You have tithes, title--eyou eau do as you will—you are Lady Court." The bitterness of his heart went to her very 'heart. "How cruel yott are!" she muemured, "Cruel!" he repeated, moving to her. side, mad with the intoxication of his. love and the remembrance of her deceit, "Were you not cruel when you oquet. motionless form, her eye ii fell on Stuart's motioules form her heart gave one great leap, then Mile again; she let her gaze rest with unspeakable sadness and ten- derness on her lost lover's feee, then she turned to go.

'I am sorry," she faltered, faintly, "I did not know you were here. I came to find my husband; 1 have distuned you." Stuart's hand fell, and he bowed his head to the arm of the chair. "You are HD" eiargery went on, quickly. "Let me----" Stuart -raked his head and 'rose to his feet, steadying himself with one hand on tea with me, led me on, lied to me, sand then deceived ute?" "Deceived yon! What do you mean?", Stuart nvet her clear blueeyes, startl- ed yet strangely steadfast. 'Wlty do you say sun wicked, sueli cruel things of ate?" she asked.

"TEAISM" Not a New Science, But Pacts About a Favorite Brew, Tea belongs to the Ternstroemiaeae This makes it a first cousin to the lovely camellia. Tea was first eiti ornamental leant. Assam wets the place where tea was first brewed. China did. not adopt it as an infusion until A. 1), 350. It was introduced in Japan in A. D. 805 by the famous Bad. dbist, Dengyo. To -day it is cultivated over * great part of China, largely in Japan, Tonquin, Coachin-Ohina, Assam and other parts of India and Ceylon; Japan boasts of some of the most splendid plantations—none testifying to the triumph of cultivation and poetry of the Japanese better than the vast and beautiful one at Uji. The seeds for this were firet sown by the Buddhist abbot, lifyoe, near the close of the twelfth -cen- tury. There are experimental plantations in Brazil, Australia and in our own coun- try in Carolina, The Bildern fields are enveloped in certain rengious mysticism, for tea was largely "proluoted" by the religious there, The Buddhist monks believed it was specially sent for use as a draught to keep their priests awake by midnight prayers; and there is an interesting le - gent concerning Deruzna's nap with the origin of tea. There may be something in,the en- livening qualities Of tea. Boston had one of the largest tea parties in history, and immediately after it there was sortie - thing doing. The tea plant grows from 13 to 18 feet toll, and its leaves are plucked off carefully,one by one, four times a year. They are dried and lightly rubbed, the process being repeated until the leaves become curled and crisp. Well, ell!
