greatest pleasure life can give, when
the hope of positive satisfaction is
..abandoned.
I -fere was an exceptional nature,and
.the circumstances in which she had
been placed somewhat exceptional
• from their great loneliness. A11 the
feelings, which had never ]mown
.father, mother, brother or sister,
to p g ur themselves upon, had been
-cent ad in ono person, and he had
.failed her.
Passion cannot last forever; that
• was past and gone long ago. It was
an inner dream, that recollection of
her girlhood; a feeling entirely apart
from her actual • life. We all love
beauty, and the only time it had
ever practically approached her was
then ; she had not forgotten, but
there was no sharp grief in the ro-
•.collection, She did not love any one
much, perhaps; for she had given all
.,she had once, and now it was not
.in her power to give it again.
She had not many dispositions to
.make concerning her worldly goods;
'only of some valuable ornaments of
her mother's, she said—
"My baby will never want them
mow; you shall give them to Con -
:stance Everett."
"To whom?" they asked.
"To—to—James Erskine's wife ;"
.and so they gave them.
When the funeral was over, and
that last distribution of things which
..always goes on began, °Aunt Jane
,asked the simple nurse what she
would like as a remembrance of her
mistress.
"She would like a book," she said;
"the mistress was aye great reader,
..and I'm keen after books myself :
I'd like just one of hers, poor
'body."
Nurse's literary attainments were
not great, and Aunt Jane judged it
best to give her a Bible. She dis-
• approved on principle of the lower
-classes reading, but made an ortho-
• dox exception in favor of the Bible.
It was not the one which Georgy
. generally used, but a purple book,
• which Aunt Jane did not much ex-
. amine. The nurse valued it exceed-
ingly, and was generally unwilling
that it should be too nt.uf?h rend "for
fear it should take harm." There was
writing in the beginning, "not they
.utistress's name, but some one's
that's dead, likely, too, for she
prized that book always; and it's a
good remembrance of her, poor wo-
.n1an, she was a good body."
'Yes; all that that book was con-
. netted wiCh was dead, past, and
gone.
She had expressed a wish to bo
buried not near her home, but in the
London church where her old aunt
' lay. Her husband religiously follow -
:.ed our; that desire, and it was done.
She had often yearned in thought af-
-ter that resting -place. There, where
her young fancy had attired all
things in stfch gorgeous colors; there,
where she had loved all, and em-
braced a"1l in imagination; so near
-to where her little happiness had
been lived through; and where,
.amongst many passing footsteps,
:his must surely fall. Her thought
was realized. Tlioy had been so ut-
terly separated that he never knew
•who was buried in that church he
passed so often: so near to where
•Constance was playing with his
..children. He never knew where
.:she. lay. Did he still remember her?
After a due time given to grief,
Stephen chose another wife : 'a rosy,
good-humored person, with a rather
jealous disposition. She believed
Stephen to be the first of men; and
because of that perhaps, and because
of the natural perversity of human
•nature, it was long before he believ-
s ed. her to be Georgy's equal. when,
iu time, his house was gradually fil-
ling with children, and her. jealousy
`had developed itself, he reflected that
it was perhaps well for Goorgy's
child that she had gone With her
mother.
Once in Mr. Erskine's house, long
after his marriage, a fair-haired lit-
tle girl came running to her father
to beg to go out with him, and to
• show •what her mother had just
brought out of her treasure -box and
given her. It Was a. heart and cross
of massed turquoise, and as he bent
.down to see "the beautiful' thing," a
Most Dreadful
of Skin Diseases
. A chronic case of Eczema of 30 years' stand-
Ing cared by Dr. Chase's Ointment.
That Dr. Chase's Ointment is a thorough
,,cure for the most aggravated forms of itching
skin disease is proven in hundreds of cases
similar to the one described in the following
. letter. .
MR. G. H. McOartaatt, engineer in
Fleury's Foundry, Aurora, Ont., states: --"I
believe that Dr. Chase's Ointment is worth its
freight in gold, For about thirty years I was
troubled with eczema, and could not obtain
any cure. I was so unfortunate as to have
blood poison, and this developed into eczema,
• the most dreadful of skin diseases.
"I was so bad that I would get up at night
. and scratch myself until flesh was raw and
• flaming. The torture I endured is almost
beyond tidal/tion and now I cannot say
anything too good for Dr. Chase's Ointment,
rt has cured me, and 1 reeommend it because
1 know there is nothing se good for itching
skin."
Dr. Chase's Ointment, 6o tents a bot, at
all dealers, or Edreartson, Bites end Co.,
Toronto. To protect yon against imitations
the portrait and signature of Dr.
the. famous receipt book Imhof, axe en
vision came quickly across him of the
room where he had given it, and of
a wistful, loving face which looked
up at him. It was a sad recollection
and he took the child's hand,,
and pressed her close to hint.
to dispel it. He was not
much changed in appearance;. only he.
smiled seldomer, and his mariner was
sometimes rather sarcastic, wliicli
formerly it never was. He had re-
membered her: more perhaps than
than any one knew of. Many a time
he had thought of her as she was
that night, and oftener still as he
had seen her as she was !that morn-
ing. when he saw her for the last
time, and she had turned quietly
away; and her low tong, "Yes,
Janies," came back to hini; he had
never heard her voice again,but he
remembered it well,
Those who knew hien said that he
had grown older in heart, of late
years. He was a tender father, and
Already was looking forward in
thought to what his children might
be to him. It was early, pei'liaps,
for a man still young to be looking
forward so directly to his children.
"Here's mamma," said the child,
ns a quick, clear voice called out."
•'f:hildy, are you ready?"
It was James Erskine's wife. She
was still unchanged; time and the
world had not fretted her, and as the
bright winning lady came lightly ie•to
the room, a sunshiny presence filled
it.
"Constance, where has this come
from? Don't give It to Consy."
"Why? Does a tale hang thereby?"
she said, laughing; "it was amongst
the things Mrs. Anstruther left me so
strangely."
"Mrs. Anstruther!" he :opetted to
himself.
"1)o you remember it?"
"Yes; I gave it to her."
"Alt ! James, -- poor fairs. An-
struther! X often thought how it
would have interested me to have
rnet her again. Poor Georgyl it is
not good to have such a nature,"
she said, drawing back as if the ex-
change was offered to her, and look-
ing musingly into the distance. "It
may do in books, or for a great ar-
tist, but for hard practice—"
"Z 'alaresay s!Te was very 1C.tl1p, ,
he said, quickly; "how you do run
on!"
"No, she was not; I read her when
I first saw her, and I know what a
cold, strange woman those who saw
her afterwar'ds thought her; and it
was your doing," she laughed. "And
so you gave her that; was it on the
day when you picked me up at the
station?"
"Yes," he answered, laying his
hand on her shoulder, and looking at
her lovingly; she noticed neither the
touch nor the look juste then.
"Are you coming?"
"No, I cannot."
"To -night, then?"
"No," and Ice wanted to take the
cross.
"Now, do let Consy have it; her
heart is set upon it, unless yours is
specially, too; and think over your
own misdeeds, James, instead of
over looking at mine."
Constance and her child went
laughing off together, and her hus-
band heard her beautiful voice sing-
ing snatches of a song, as she went
down the staircase. Ife still kept
the trinket, and his eye fell mechan-
ically upon the church, where the
woman who had loved him best was
buried. Forgive her! you who are
wiser and stronger: if she had loved
him too much, she had suffered yet
more before she found her rest.
Ile had grown great, now—she had
never from the moment when she had
first seen him, doubted that he was
'to be so. Was he not great already,
if the world cold only see it? And
she had crowned hint with that halo
of glory which a woman throws
around the man which site rever-
ences. Fie shall rise; but she ignores
all the recognized means by which
ho must make his way, amongst his
fellows, and immediately dreams for
hint a crown. Her certainty, was to
be realized: only she who had gnown
it was not there to watch the man
of genius.
There is a wondrous equality here,
if we did but know it. Ho had gain-
ed his desire, and she had lost hers,
and there was no great difference be-
tween then now. The sternest irony
of fate may lie in the fulfilment of
our wishes. M she stood there,
worn and tired to the heart's core,
his noble head bent down, and his
eyes fixed upon the building, which
he did not see, a stranger might have
said, that, if any man could have af-
forded a justification for the great
passion with which be had been wor-
shipped, Seines Erskine did; and it Is
seldom that we can Iodic coldly upon
another and see in him the excuse for
such a lavish love.
We are all revenged some day; and
she, if she had ever wished for re-
vel -Igo, had found hers now.

The issue of a now series of German
stamps is announced for the begin-
ning of the century. They will be ob-
long in shape, like the American Co-
lumbus stamps, and at the suggestion
of the Emperor, they will illustrate
the history of the Hohenzollern favi-
fly. One of the designs represents
the union of North. and South Ger-
many. In the centre there are two
warriors, a Prussian and a Ilan arian,
grasping hands, with Germania hov-
ering over them. The whole is en-
circled by a landscape representing
the Fatherland from the Alps in the
south to tho Island of Itugen in the
'north. Other stamps represent the
national monument to the late Em-
peror William and the opening of the,
first Reichstag of the present reign by
Emperor 'William II. They will be
issued front the Imperial Printing Of-
fice. The Postmaster -General, being
unable to find a native artist capable
of designing the stamps, engaged the
services of an Englishman, who stay-
ed in Berlin for about six months and
received a remuneration of 10,000
marks.
Talking in the Clouds.
Experiments are being made in Vi-
enna, says Casinos, under the direc-
tion of Professor Tume, aided by of-
ficers of the garrison, on communica-
tion between balloons by wireless
telegraphy, and they have met with
some ' success. A captive balloon
takes the place of the tall mast used
by Marconi, and a copper wire is
stretched between it and the earth,
where the transmitting apparatus Is
placed. The second balloon, which
ascends freely, carries the receiving
instrument and is furnished with a
wire 60 feet long, hanging down-
ward from the basket. This balloon
receives messages very well up to a
distance of about ten kilometers
.(six miles) and at, a height of 1,600
meters (about onmile). Unfortun-
ately this is but half of the problem,
for it has been found impossible at
present to establish a transmitting
station in a free balloon, both on ac-
count of the weight of the necessary
apparatus and because of the danger
Of discharges from a powerful con-
denser so near the inflammable gas
of the balloon.
Physics of Air and Sunshine.
In the current number of the Tem-
ple Bar the Rev. Mr. Bacon says
that the best preventives of disease
are cleanliness and the access of sun-
light and fresh air as being the
agents most powerful in the suppres-
sion of bacteria. Large towns in
Britain have each their true west
and, for, the western and southwest
winds being those that mostly pre-
vail there, it follows that during a
large portion of the year the smoke
and fog drift tt,way to the east and
northeast, leaving the west clearer
and purer. The writer claims Brit-
ish weather is at once the most cap-
ricious and at the same time the best
adapted to vigorous and healthful
enjoyment of life. The Briton is a
stranger to the long ordeal of un-
varying southern skies, the breath of
pestilential air and the stroke of sun
or argue. Tho face and physique of
the typical Britisher are the true
weather marks of his climate.

"In my opinion," writes Mrs. Philip
Collins, of Martindale, Que., "There is
no medicine can equal Baby's Own Tab-
lets. Before I began the use of the Tab-
lets my baby cried all the time with
wind colic and got little or no sleep, and
I was nearly worn out myself. Soon
after giving baby the Tablets the trouble
disappeared, and sound natural sleep re-
turned. I have also proved the 'Tablets
a cure for hives, and a great relief when
baby is teething. I would not feel that
my children were safe if I did not have
a box of the Tablets in the house."
All mothers who have used Baby's
Own Tablets speak just as highly of
there as does Mrs. Collins. The Tablets
cure all the little ills from which infants
and young children suffer, and the
mother has a solemn assurance that
this medicine contains neither opiate
nor any harmful drug. Sold by all rne-

Awnd,trund'a English Syndicate
I w,re Now Sixty bays to Pay
Off the Mortgages.
Sault Ste. Marie, Oct. 20.—Tho
contest over the possession of the
plants of the Consolidated Lake Su-
perior Go., which had hem in pro-
gress in and out of court for weeks,
carpe to an end yesterday at two
o'clock when James Bicknell, repre-
senting B. T. Fackenthal, the receiv-
er, was given the keys of the office
and all of •the subsidiary factory
buildings.
The peaceful surrender of the pro-
perty to Speyer & Co., which the
company had hitherto declined to,
make, is the result of an agreement
reached in New York last Friday,
whereby all of the directors and offi-
cials of all of the subsidiary com-
panies resigned, and their places were
filled by Speyer & Co., who selected
Benjamin T. Fackenthal, the receiv-
er, as the president of all the com-
panies.
Names of the other directors and
officials are unknown here. In coir -
sideration for this surrender of the
property, Speyer & Co. have agreed
to postpone the sale of the securities
until Dec. 15, thus giving the stock-
holders time to got funds ,to repay
the loan and restore the big concern
to its feet.
It is expected that as soon as pos-
sible all of tae plants of the com-
pany that are profit -producing will
be put into operation again by Mr.
Fackenthal, These include the pulp
mills, the saw mill and the veneer
works, which would employ a large
number of men.
The' action at the Soo yesterday by
which James Bicknell, IC.C., acting
for Speyer & Co., took possession of
the works of the Lake Superior
Consolidated, is in accord with the
plan by which Senator Dandurand
and his English clients are to have
sixty days in which to pay off the
mortgage. This possession of Speyer
& Co. includes all the industries but
the Algoma Central Railroad, against
which the injunction is not dissolv-
ed. This leaves Mr. Bicknell in
charge of all the subsidiary compan-
ies except the railroad, and gives the
English syndicate until Dec. 15 to
secure the necessary funds to take
charge of the property.
DISSOLVED TUE INJUNCTION.
Judge Johnson of Algoma Cannot Grant
Order Nor Possession.
Toronto, Oct. 20.—In the judge-
ment handed out yesterday by Jus-
tice Britton, the temporary injunc-
tion restraining the Central Trust
Co. from taking possession for Spey-
er & Co. of the works at the Soo,
was dissolved, as was also the in-
junction restraining Judge Johnson
of Algoma from granting an order
for possession.
The judgment says in part: "It is
certainly contrary to the policy of
the courts as law is now administer-
ed to . permit an action for eject-
ment and afterwards an action for
sale. This suit is not for foreclosure
or sale. It is for a declaration as to
the plaintiff's rights, and if I am
right in deciding that the action in
the district court is only for recovery
of land, and is within the jurisdic-
tion of the court, I ought not to re-
strain further proceedings there mere-
ly because the plaintiffs could have
their complete recovery in the pre-
sent action.
"The mere question of immediate
possession cannot under the special
and unfortunate circumstances, now
existing, matter much to either
party. The plaintiffs are mortgagee
in fact and roust account for their
dealings with the property if the de-
fendants aro able to redeem; and the
defendants in the present action have
the right to attack the mortgage if
open to valid legal objections."
This decision does not, however, af-
fect tate Algoma Central Railway.
as, bythe temporary injunction
granted, Messrs. Connreo and Bow-
man, the Central Trust Co., Speyer
& Co., and all others are prevented
from taking possession of tho rail-
tvay. The 'railway are, moreover, by
a similar injunction restrained from
delivering the property to Speyer &
Co., or any other creditors.
