He meets an Engiimas, Lord St. Maurice, who in love with Adrienne on Leonardo sees his sister ita, who tells him his love pe e is' hopeless. But he eads with her to arrange an acci- dental meeting, to say farewell, be- twéen -Adrienne and him. She consents. That night the Eng- lis] is informed of an attempt being made to carry off Signorina Cartuccio, and Margharita, who are walking by brigands employed by a rejected suitor on a lonely road, He rushes to the scene, and proves able to rescue the ladies. Inflamed by the failure of his scheme, Leonardo sces Margharita who shows him she knows that he was instigator of the attempted at- tack. The Englishman now sees Adrienne often. The Englishman, sitting in the "hotel, finds a dagger at his feet. Looking up, he sees the Sicilian and scents trouble. "We sat_here a week ago," recalls Leon- 0. Lord St. Maurice nods. : Leonardo and the Englishman quarrel, The Englishman at first re- fused to accept a challenge to duel, then when the Italian slaps him con- sents. The two men face each other to fight to the death. . Margharita stops the duel by com- ing just in the nick of time to save the Englishman from his fate, with two officers who arrest the exile ardo. Leonardo vows venge- ance. After 25 years in jail he is again at his hotel, an old, broken man with only memories left to him, At his hotel the proprietor, wor- ried about him, advertises for his friends and Leonardo is first visited by the woman he had loved, whom he shoos out of his sight. Then there comes to him the daughter of his sister, whom he greets in great sur- prise, He learns that his sister is dead. Count Leonardo tells his niece the story of his love for Margharita. She is sympathetic. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Letter from Margharita Briscoe to + the Count Leonardi di Marion, . care of the Princess di Carlotti, Palazzo Carlotti, Rome. "My dear, dear uncle: I am in- elined to scold you for your letter, for it made me very sad. Why should you be so sure of dying just as the vengeance which is your duc becomes yours? You are not very id; and I can nurse vou even as [ did before. Think how lonely I should he without you. Ne, you must not think of leaving me. I forbid it! It is morbid. Banish that fancy for my sake, and try and think of a. quiet happy life together, away in some southern city, where the sea and sky are blue, and the syn is warm, and the breezes are soft and laden with the perfume of sweet flowers. We would never live in this country, would we? I do not like it. It is cold and damp, and it chills me, chills even my heart. Oh! I know just the life 'we could live together, and be very, very hap- py. Write to me no more of death. "I am ting settled down here, waiting. My duties are light, and I do not find them irksome. Every day I realize that I did well in cém- ing here as a governess, and not as one secking a home. They think that it is because of my pride that I have willed it so, They do not know. : "Lady St. Maurice tries to.be kind to me in hér way; but when the honeyed words are upon her lips, 1 think of you and my heart is steel She must have been a very beautiful weman---nay, she is beautiful now! You asked me in your first letter to watch and tell you whether they were happy together. You asked me, and I tell the truth, "Yes! I think that of all the wo- men whom I have ever seen, her life scems to have flown along the most calmly and peacefully. 1 have "ever seen a cloud upon her brow; I hate her for it. She has no right o be happy; she who by such | treachery condemned you to a living rose Up so . Sight, f "death. Once my anger § fiercely that I nearly struck her, and * I had to hurry from the room lest I should betray myself before the time. Truly she deserves punish- ment, and my hand shall not shrink from inflicting it. "Yet, after all, is death the most complete form of punishment? Sometimes I doubt it. I would mar the beauty of her face for ever, and laugh, I would strike her blind glad- ly; I would make her a cripple for life, without remorse, without hesi- J. E.

To see her suffer would please me, 1 should have no pity! "But death, uncle! Tf anything of our zeligion be true, would death be so terrible a thing? Against my will I see that her life is good. She has made her home what it should be, and her husband happy. She is a devoted Christian, and, wet or fine, every Sunday morning before breakfast, she ito the little church in the village and knéels be- fore the altar. She visits the sick and the poor, and they love her. For me, religion has become some- thing of a dream. I was brought up a Roman Catholic. What I am now I do not know! When I vow- ed my life to its present purpose I filled it with new thoughts; I put my religion away from me. I could not kneel with hate in my heart; T could not confess with the desire to kill in my bosom. "Yet let that pass. Supposing there be a heaven, if we kill her for her treachery to you will not that sin be wiped out? May she not gain heaven? And, if so, what cf our vengeance? Death is swift What will she suffer? It will be those who are left behind who will feel the pain; for her, there will be a happiness beyond even the hap- piness of earth. She will be shriv- en for her sin by our vengeance. "Think of this my dear uncle! Do not imagine that I am growing faint-hearted; do not imagine that I am drawing back from the task which. I now claim as my right. Death, or some other sort of pun- ishment, shall surely fall upon her; she shall not escape! Only think what is best. "Write to me all that is in your heart. Fear not to speak out! I would know all. Farewell! Your loving "Margharita." Letter, from the Count Leonardo di Marioni the Palazzo Carlotti, Rome to Miss Margharita Briscoe Ma- lory Grange, Lincolnshire. "Beloved Margharita: I will con- fess that your letter troubles me. If there be heaven for the woman who wrecked my life there is ne heaven for me, no religion, no God. You say that she. is a good woman. She is then a good woman through fear. She seeks 'to atone, but she can never atone, She won a boy's passionate love; she wore his heart upon her sleeve; she cast it away at the moment of her pleasure, She broke the vows of an order, which should have been as sacréd to her as the face of God to the angels; and she sent a Maribni to rot through a useless life in a miser- able prison. The boy whose heart she broke, and the man whose life she severed, lives only to nurse his unchanging and unchangeable hate for her. Away with all other thoughts, 'my vengeance knows but one end, and that is death! Not sudden death, mind! but death-- slow, lingering, and painful. I would see the struggle against some mys- terious sickness, with my own eyes; I would stand by the bedside and mock. I would watch the cheeks grow thin and pale, and the eyes grow dim. She should know me in those last moments. She should see me, the wasted shadow of a man, my- self on the threshold of the grave, standing by her bedside, cold and un- pitying, and holding out toward her a white hyacinth, "That 1s how I would have it, though: thus it may not be. Yet speak to me not of any vengeance save death. Let none other dwell for 4 moment in your thoughts, I solemnly charge you, Margharita. "As to my search, it has not yet alas, been successful, Think not that I have lost heart, or that I am discouraged. Never fear but that I shall find the man whom I seek-- if not, there are other. I give my- selt one month longer; at the end of that time; if Paschuli be not found, another must serve my purpose. "The Princess is much interested in you, and sends her love. She is impatient to take you under her care. [ have told her that it will not be long--nor will it. "Farewell, my child. Soon T shall send you, the good news --Yours, "Leonardi di Marion." "Palazzo Carlotti, . Rome." "Margharita,--Beloved. Success! success! My search is over, my purpose is accomplished. I have found Paschuli. Enclosed in this letter you will find a smaller enve- lope. It contains the powder, "Can you wonder that my hand is shaking, and that there is a mist before my eyes! I am an old man, and great joy is hard to bear; hard- er still after a weary wretched life such as mine. You-will understand, though--you will be able to Hecipher this faint, uncertain handwriting, and you will forgive me if it tirés you. Ay, you will do that, Marg- harita, I know! "Let me tell you how I found him, It was by the purest accident. I turned aside into an old curio shop to buy some trifle for you which took my fancy, and it was Paschuli himself who served me. Thus you see how indirectly even 'your star always shines over mine and leads me aright. If it had not been for you I should never have dreamed' of entering the place, but I thought of you and your taste for Roman jew- elry, and behold, I found myself in the presence of the man for whom 1 was making vain search. My Marg- harita! my good angel! I have you to thank even for the successful ac- complishment of my part in that edict of our Order which you and I are banded together to carry out. "At first, Paschuli did not recog- nize me and it was long before I could make him believe that I was indeed that most unfortunate of men. Leonardo di Marioni. But when he was convinced, he promised me what I sought. That same evening he gave it to me. ; . "Margharita, there is' no poison in the wotld like that which I send you in this letter. The merést grain of it is sufficient, in wine or water, or food of any sort. There is no art of medicine which could detect it--no means by which the death, which will surely follow, can be averted; so you run no risk, my child! Bide your time, and then-- then! ; i "Margharita, I am coming Nay, do not be alarmed, I run no risk. 1 shall come disguised, and no one will know me, but I must see something of the end with my own eyes, or half its sweetness would be untasted, I would see her face and die! I would trace, day by day, the workings of the poison; and in the last moments of her agony I would reveal myself, and would point to my withered frame and the hand of death upon my forehead and ery out to her that the Order of the White Hyacinth had kept its vow. I would have her eyes meet mine as the mists of death closed in upon her. I would have her know that the oath of a Marioni, in friendship or in hate, in protection or in ven- geance, is one with his honor. This may not be, Margharita! I cannot see all this! I cannot even stand by her bedside for a moment and show her my face, that she might know whose hand it is which has stricken her down. Yet, I must be near! Fear not but that I shall man- age it safely! I would not bring danger or the shadow of danger upon you, my beloved. "I leave Rome tonight, and I leave it with joy. You cannot im- agine how inexpressibly sad it has been for me to find myself in the place where the greater part of my youth--my too ambitious youth was spent, All is changed and strange to me. There are new streets and many innovations which puzzle me; and although my friends are kind, twenty-five years have crushed our sympathies. To them I am like a sad figure from a by- gone world, a Banqua at the feast, something to pity a little--no more, I am nothing to anybody beyond that I am a wearisome old man, whose mind is a blank, and whe only cumbers the way. is not for long. he day of my desire is at hand, and God has giv- en me you, Margharita, to accomp- lish it, and to close my eyes in peace. Bless you, my dear, dear child! You have sweetened .the end of a marred and wretched life! Yours has been an angel's task, and you will have an angel's reward. "We shall meet before Jong, but of the manner of our meeting I can- not tell you yet, Till then adieul-- Yours in hope, . "Leonardi di Marioni." "p.S.--I forgot to say that the whole of the poison, or even half a teaspoonful, would produce sudden and abrupt death. Just a pinch, administered twice, perhaps, in or- der to be quite secure, would be suf- ficient." "My beloved Margharita,--Many a time have I reproached myself for my imprudence last night, and the effects which I fear it had upon you. It was thoughtless and rash of me to come near the house at all; but, indeed, I meant only to watch from a safe distance; only, as I crouched behind a shrub npoa the lawn, I saw her face, and the sight drew me nearer against my better judgment. , I met your eyes, and I knew that you were overcome witn fright; but I feared to dinger Jest they might ask what it was that alarmed you, and seek for me.

Press) ----Scientific enquiry is not confin- ed to professional men of Science said Prof. A. C. Seward, vice- chancellor of the University of fo you. Cambridge, in his presidential ad- | dress to the botany section of the British Association for the Ad- vancement of Science to-day, Prof. Seward, who was formerly professor of botany at Cambridge, said anyone of the average intelli- gence, provided he or she has the driving force horn of enthusiasm and the faculty of taking pains, is capable of making valuable con- tributions to knowledge in some departmént of scientific enquiry. "I do not wish to be thought an advocate of extreme specialisation,' Prof. Seward said, 'my desire is to see on the part of geologists and botanists, whether professional or amateurs, of the value of palead- botanical studies in relation to pro- blems of general interest. The lay- man is often deterred from serious application to any branch of science by the length of the road he thinks it will be necessary for him to tra- vel before beoming qualified for research, If it. were essential to master a subject before attempting to contribute to its advancement by original work, none of us could hope to become more than indus- trious seekers after omniscience within a restricted field. Amateurs have taken an henor- able and productive part in ad- vancing geological and botanical knowledge; they have an advan- tage over professional teachers in Right, Admiral Sir Reginald Tyrwhitt, who, so it has been of- ticially d, was p ted by the King to a Knight of the Grand Cross, Order of the Bath, in recognition of his services as commander<in-chief of Far East- ern station. Left, Admiral -Brock promoted to Admiral of the Fleet. Ah, well A they were a few years ago, but the number of men and women who become keen enough to culti- vate any one subject as a hobby is relatively small. It is the passion for, the search that matters. Science should be taught not go much as a preparation for a busi- ness or a profession; it should be presented in form calculated to de- velop an interest stong enough tc make a permanent impression on receptive minds. We need help- ers in the cause of research, and it is for us who are engaged in teaching to make clear to those within our sphere of influence the saving grace of a deeply rooted interest in life over and above our daily duties, which will serve not only as a means of advancing nat- ural knowledge but as a guiding star. Facts are the tools with which the man of science works but to use them to the fullest advantage he must be able to respond to the inspiration that cores to him from the edge of the world." Natural Science In opening his subject:: ical Records of the Rocks" Botfan- Pro- THUNDER BAY LAKE § a Lary waLLl The map here shows areas of Northern Ontario where forest fires are raging at present, and where rain is badly needed to check their progress. Thunder Bay district is said to be dotted with blazing areas, to which high winds have added a greater hazard. fessor Seward remarked on' the question of specialization in mod- ern science, "In these days the average man cannot hope to keep in touch with new developmenis within any one of the natural sciences unless He 1s prepared wholly to devote himself to read- ing the contributions of others. For most of us it is necessary to choose one of two courses; either to remain comparitively ignorant of recent advances of a subject and to employ such leisure as we can command in concentrating at- tention on one small portion of a subject with the determination to make contributions to knowledge which in moments of elation may be called original; or to qualify ourselves for the title of botanists by doing our best to develop the acquisitive spirit and the ability to assimilate inumerable facts, aims familiar to students prepar- ing for a final examination, One may succeed after many years of labor in a restricted field in reach- ing a stage at which the confidence of youth gives place to maturer and less optimistic frame of mind; the longer we question the more difficult it seems to obtain clues which we are capable of interpret- ing with an assured conviction. It is not that the pleasure of the search diminshes; the pleasure per- sists unimpaired! but it becomes associated as the time goes on with a growing sense of ignorance and doubt, We prefer to make sug- gestions rather than to indulge in prophetic utterances. "We whose privilege" he went on, "it is to visit South Africa, some of us with pleasant recollec- tions of former visits, are not un- mindful of the share faken in bo- tanical science by our fellow-work- ers in the southern hemisphere. On this occasion IT can speak for all the vigiting members of the sec- tion and assure our hosts of the pleasure it gives us to take pari in a reunion which symbolises the brotherhood of science and the on- eness of the aim of all whose lives are mainly devoted to the interpre. tation of mature. Our interests are diverse and embrace both the pre- sent and the past; but we are un- ited by common bond---a determiu- ation to co-operate in the search for the best thing in the world the discovery of truth which has been described as the hypothesis that work best. Whether we succeed or not we learn that beyond the ma- terial reward, which may follow sustained effort there is a higher reward that comes from commuun- icating with Nature, a spiritual in- fluence eldom acknowledged though none the less an influence which if we will respond to it, lifts us to a place where the air is 'pure and the petty prejudices and jeal- ousies of life have no place, My excuse, if excuse be needed for speaking in this strain, is that we who love science for its pwn sake resent the implication that thosc who pry into the secrets of Nature are in danger of developing into mere materialists whose vision of the infinite becomes dimmed." The speaker paid warm tribute to the work of the South African palacobotanists, Dr. Rogers, Mr. Du Toit and Mr. Leslie all- of whom were engaged in the Investi- gation of ancient life, He went on to discuss the value of the records of the strata in the determination of the relation in time of the events of psehistoric earth. He quoted the words used by the late Professor Bury in ref- erence to the history of human societies as also applicable to geological history, "All the epochs of the past are only a few of the front carriages and probably the least. wonderful in the van of an interminable procession." The great bed on which the whole of the ac- eumulation of strata was laid was in all probability beyond human discovery, he added. Professor Seward also discussed the use of the presence of the fos sils of plants as a test of ancient climate of a locality. There had been found, he reminded his hear- ers, the fossil remains of plants now exclusively confined ' to the tropics in places of extreme north- ern latitude, proving that at one time the climatic conditions which we now associate with tropical re- gions prevailed within the arctic circle. . There was at the present time no really conclusive explan- ation of this phenomenon.

The treatment of cancer by ra- dium "bombs" was mentioned in the report. The number of cases, sald Sir Thomas, in which radium treat- ment was advised, and in which it was successful, had increased aur- ing the year. He, however, sound- ed a note of warning. "The launching of a fund like the National Radium Fund, especi- ally in association with such a heartfelt sentiment ag the recovery to health of our beloved King," he said, "was bound to attract wide- spread publicity, and in the minds of many people who, while quite intelligent, are yet uninitiated in medicine, there may have arisen an unfounded belief in the complete potency of radium as a cure for cancer. "Such a belief might have un- fortunate results for the patient, if carried into practice in any case in which the growth is completely removable by operation. It may well be that radium will come to equal, or even to exceed, operative measures in efficiency in course of time, and as the result of much further experience of, and improve- ment in, technique, and possibly also in combination with other methods of treatment, MAURICE COLBOURNE TO RETURN TO CANADA Toronto, Ont., Aug, 2--Canadian theatre-goers will again have the opportunity of seeing George Ber- nard Shaw's plays performed by Maurice Colbourne and bis English company, Mr. Colbourne's tour of Canada last year proved so suc- cessful it astonished the Irish dra- matist who had predicted the com- pany would 'go broke™ in Can- ada.
