The engagement of the Earl of Wolvcrholme to Ethel Feth«rEton was not publicly announced for some months; for they both felt that out of respect for Rebekah, they could pursue no other course but keep it tecret. But they were unable to consult her, for the morning after their in- terview, she and her father had gone abroad, without communica- tion with them. Rebekah' s pur- pose accomplished she felt that she would be miserable if she remained. So she determined to seek forget- fulness in change of (cene. Joel vas always with her, and watched her anxiously but never broke the Bilence on which Rebekah had in- â- isted, for she determined as far as possible to k»ep her mind from dwelling upon tfa« man she loved. They were in Paris, and having dejeuner in one of the big rcs'tau- rants on t' e Grands Boulevards. Joel was glancing at a paper, and he suddenly uttered an exclama- tion of surprise, but Rebekah quiet- ly took the paper from his hand. Bhe read an announcement to the effect that a marriage had been ar- ranged between the Earl of Wol- vcrholme and Miss Fethereton. Her father looked at her keenly, but her mind was prepared for it, and ehe gave no sign that it caused her pain. "I hope they will be very happy," she said simply. They were staying at the Hotel Ritz, and that evening Joel was seated alone in the lounge. He was busy with his thoughts when he noticed that a man was eyeing him keenly. He looked up quickly, and saw that it was Ackroyd. The sight of him was disagreeable in the extreme, for it brought back such unpleasant memories. "Wrong. The sum was tv.eiuy- five thousand," Joel corrected him. 'But really, I have no wiih for yoar company, Mr. Ackroyd. Will you go. or shall 11" "It is you that are wrong. You forget the fiv-© thousand your daughter paid me." '•What five thousand 1" asked Joel ; for Rebekah had never con- fided in her father that she had paid this sum to Ackroyd. Joel had thought that he had thorough- frightened him at the interview, but had had the curiosity to make inquiries, and had ascertained that the copper shares had risen, and that Ackroyd had evidently sold out at a handsome profit. "Did you not know that your daughter had given me five thou- sand pounds for the photographs ot the letters 7 That little sum tid- ed me over my difficulties, and thanks to her, I am in a position of comfort, for I have safely invest- ed my money in gilt-edged securi- ties," Ackroyd wound up trium- phantly. "Very wise, I'm sure, but it doesn't interest me in the least. Good evening, sir." "But I am very interested. Why didn't you bring the marriage off? You played a daring game, and you have my sincere admiration. There was not much to choose be- tween us. We acted like a pair of blackguards." Joel made an impatient move- ment. "What was itt Did your consci- ence prick you, and were you moved to repentance 1 If so, I shall be bitterly disappointed, for I thought better things of you." "Go to the devil," Joel said rude- ly, but Ackroyd only smiled. But the smile left his face when he saw Rebekah approaching thein. Ackroyd rose from his chair, and | Joel rose and Ackroyd followed his took a seat near Joel. "You don't remember," he said with an ease of manner that was •bviously forced. "Perfectly," Joel replied coldly. 'Have you seen the paper this example. "Come, father," Rebekah said, and as she spoke she recognized Ackroyd. A flush ro»a to her cheeks but her eyes did not waver as she coldly regarded him. He bowed morning ?" he centinued coolly. "It . profoundly, but she took no no tice, for she slipped her arm through that of her father and led him away. Her silent contempt stung Ack- royd to the quick, and he laughed harshly. It was but a few months after the announcement of the engagement that the marriage of Cyril to Ethel ctrntains some news that ought to interest you." "Indeed!" "Y'es. Lord Wolverholrae is en- gaged to a Miss Ethel Fethcrston," Ackroyd said with a smile that was intended to annoy. "I was aware of that several months ago," Joel replied frigidly. But Ackroyd was not the man to i toot place. They had be rebuffed; and he quite made up'p^remony to be a quiet one, his mind that Joel him a little amusement too bitter a recollection of his ! c^-'-jni^'ny ^^ti\ his finances were fruitless journey to Leightou Man- 1 once more in goi>d order, er, and the scornful way in which I '^he passage of time had Inade he had been treated.

This letter grieved Ethel, for it sho.ved her only too clearly . that Rebekah had not yet forgotten. She did not show it to Cyril, but she looked at him wistfully. j Cyril was periectiy happy, for his every wish had been gratified. He had married the woman he loved, j and she had blessed him with chil- Idren to carry on his nams ; but he i smiiod esAly as the Christmas pro ! seats were unpacked that came ; from abroad, and which f'->. •»hil- ' dren understood had been - '. by their Aunt Rebekah, about ^hom they had heard so much, but whomi they had never met. But t'.me heals most wounds ; ' and it was with a smile of content- . m<ni that Rebeka'i as last felt ihat sue could sit down with a ligut I heart and write to Ethel what sh© was anxiously waiting to hear. "Yes, dear," she wrote. "I can come to you now, if you will have ; ma. May I speed Christmas with i you and your little ones 1 For I â-  can look upon your happiness in | no grudging epirit. Nay, I long to ; share in your joys." And Rebekah r>;turncd to Eng- land once more. In placid contentment she an- nounjed her journey to Wolver- holrae Castle. A heavy fall of snow had taken place, and she was obliged to go by train. Up< n the platfoim of the station Lord i.nd Lady Wolverholme await- ed ker arrival with impatience. As she stepped from the carriage Ethel ran forward impetuously and embraced her. "Welcome, dear. Thrice wel- come," she whispered tenderly. And Rebekah once more met the man she had loved so devotedly. Her eyes calmly met his, and she smiled with ^ncere happiness when he grasped her hand. The children were gathered in the hall, for they were eager to see the aunt of whom they had heard so much. But she turned instinctively to the eldest son, her godchild, and -^y--:^^"; GOWGANDA â€" The Second Cobalt GOWGANDA, with its magnificent silver veins, is being bersilded lar and wide as tl« second Cobalt, and since last fall millions have been invested by Capitalists on the reports of the leading mining engineers of the continent.

Tonal* regret was in Rebekah's absence, and Ethel wrote her a letter of ap- peal to be present at the wedding, that she had done so much to bring about. Her reply was a magnifi cent riviere of diamonds for Ethel (Joel, too, sent Cyril a present), but she made no mention cf their invitation. Ethel understood, and her heart went out to her in sympathy. She remembei-ed all that she had done for them, and longed that time might bring her peace and content- ment. Their life was a full one, for Cyril took seriously the responsi- bilities of -his position. He quickly catered into public life,, and his nama came prominent ty before the public. And then came the seal of their joy, the birth of a son and heir. As soon as possible, Ethel wrote .,..,, ,, ,, , however, to dump individuals or small companies of the ashes in heaps near the trunks to him, but it was not ' without difficulty that he was pullod i into the boat when he had been j dragged alongside.

Manure left in piles about the fields loses nearly half its value be- fore it is spread. It is far better to spread manure as fast as drawn into the field. To those who aro thinking of leaving their farms for the city, we say, keep your home in the country. Don't sell it, for if you do you may regret it.
