Was her emotion feigned or was it sincere? Was she a clever actress seeking to throw me off guard, or had I in re- ality deeply wounded her by a false accusiation? I had for so long heen convinced that she was my rival that it was not an easy mditer for me to see her now Im any other light, Yet her anger and chagrin seemed too great to be assumed. If she was 1 - nocent I had clearly dene her a great injustice--one for which it would be impossible for me to ever apologize sufficiently. could not concedl the fact from me much longer. I made up my mind to settle the matter once and for all "Miss Regnier," I sald, "Ihave either done you a great injury or yo are trying to do me a greater one. Which is it? This is no time to mince words. | I have suffered long enough. Put yourself in my - place and tell-me how you would have felt under simflar circumstances, "I left home one afternoon with some friends and while absent I be- came ill. 1 knew nothing fof several weeks. When I came out of my de- lrium 1 discovered that my husband was gone. When he left, under what circumstances he deserted me, where he is, with whom, or if he expects to return, are questions which I cannot R new: er. "Before my illness 1 had reason to believe that he had become infaturat> ed with you. The evening I arrived {in New Orleans he insisted that I go {with him to your home. - I could not do it because I had been injured in a wreck and was unable to undertake the visit. On several subsequent oc- casions he gave me reason to suspect that his love for me had cooled and that he was growing more and more attached to you all the time. "When [ recovered consciousness after the worst of my illness I was told that my husband was in New York in business and was shown nu- merous telegrams which purported to to be from him. For a t{me I believ- ed that these telegrams wére genuine, but circumstances were such that 1 was unable very long to continue in this belief. 1 soon became con- vinced that the telegrams were forg- ed by some one who wished me to think that Mr. Pembroke was only temporarily absent from me and would be home in a short time. "Believing as I did that he was in love with you, it was natural for me to think that he had either gone away with you or that you in some It she was guilty shel way were the cause for his absence. In arriving at this conclusion it did not occur to me that I was doing you a wrong. I do not know yet whether {I am doing you a wrong. When you entered that door I believed that you had come to bargain for his release, I thought that you would make me a cold-blooded proposition to obtain a diypree from me and let him marry you." I could not imagine any other motive back of your visit. "A8 1 sald® just now, this is no time to mince words. If you are not guilty of breaking up my home tell me so. * If you are, the sooner you leave this room the hetter it will be for you. A woman is likely to be- come desperate under some circum- stances." Miss Regnier had long since ceased to weep and sat rigid in her chair gazing at me with wide open eyes, the color alternately leaving and rushing to her face. The torrent of my words had swept her out of all consideration of minor detail and she sat face to face with the naked ques- tion which I had hurled at her! It was some time before she spoke. When she did her voice, which at first faltered, grew stronger, as her own anger mounted to her head. "1 told you that I had not seen your husband for a month," she said. "It is the truth. He did visit= me several times and promised to bring you to see us. It is true that he paid me more attention than a mor- ried man should pay.an unmarried woman. [I permitted him to go far- ther than I should. All this I admit, but beyond this my confession of fault will not go I deny that I intentionally became indiscrete. I did not know he cared for me. I did not suppose his visits were promoted by anything except lonliness because of your absence. After your arrival he came only two or three times, and on each occasion he told us he was just passing by the house and dropped in to speak to us. "I realize now that I. wesshlioud: i should have suspected sooner thu I did that he thought he was attach- ed to me. Had any such thought crossed my mind you may be sure I would not have hesitated for one moment. Our acquaintance would have ceased immediately. It is a dishonor to a woman for a married man to make love to her. "Finally my eyes were opened. He was about to tell me tHat he cared for me. I would not listen. I drove him from the house. Where I had liked and atimired him before, now I hated and despised him. He had insulted me as well as you, and he had dishonored himself."

London, Aug. 24. -- The Dajly Chronicle says that the Royal Horti- cultural Institute of Berlin has heen experimenting with various leaves to take the place of tea, which, at $2 a pound, is too gostly for the ordinary citizen. More than twepty different kinds of leaves have been tried, put cnly three were found to contain in some m re the aromatic sud jn- vigorating qualities possessed by tea. The leaves of the strawberry, black berry and raspberry gave very satis-| factory results. The authorities who! have been brewing these leaves came to the conclusion that strawberry leaves were superior to all rivals, and refined palates which had been regaled with strawberry tea have no desire to return to the "much over- rated and costly Chinese product."

In a recent letter to The Toronto Globe from London the following tri- bute was paid to Lady Drummond's work, which bringa to all who come in contact with her the)marvellous never-failing inspiration that life means service and the spending of self. Lady Drummond's method of ful- filling undertaken attracts not sold, admiration, but warm, devoted love Canada should know that from " hag a8 come one who, amongst the her ay gathered here from diverse countries for the work of the war, is recognized as a leader of large-mind- ed sympathies. 'No soldier in the field, no sister at the outposts, has given himself or herself more wholly at the call of country than has Lady Drummond. When many organizations in Lon- don are approached, a secretary or under-secretary must satisfy the ap- plicant, and only matters of import- ance will secure a personal interview with the head." Not so with Lady Drummond. Whoever waits has her sympathy, interest, and help. The door. is open wide, and he is' received with a smile of genuine welcome, From early morning till gathering dusk Lady Drummond is ready to give her whole mind to him who asks for it, and he leaves her presence strong in the knowledge that hers is an interest which will not fail, and that her belief in his powers must be justified. To leave London--to rest a while in the reawakening 'English country --for this Lady Drummond finds no spare time. Nevertheless, I found a lad of nineteen from a humble home in Toronto, who had been lying in a corner bed of a ward in a military hospital, paralyzed since last May, happy and proud because of a per- sonal visit from her. The boy's mo- ther, his only living relation, was in Toronto, and Lady Drummond desir- ed to bring mother and son together. He had given the strength of his youth in exchange for a bed in a hos- pital, three thousand miles from home, and so Lady Drummond took time in her leisureless life to go to the lad and show him her gracious appreciation. '""Her ways are ways of pleasant. «Who knows how far down the years her work will extend? QUAINT OLD TODMORDEN. A Bit of Old England Set In the Suburbs of Toronto. Past sweeping fields of yellowing wheat, orchards that glistened with the swelling fruitage, fields of dimp- ling cabbage and divers garden stuff ~--with houses every little way--the traveler's buggy hums along the Old Mill road through the village to the hotel~--verandah in front and driving shed to one side, grass-plotted, gay with carefully tended beds of flow- ers. Pacing the picturesque tavern opens the top of the steep-winding road that slants down to the old brick mill and its bridge near the dam, where the boys have their swimimng hole. Fields, houses, gar- dens, orchards--they stretch along the road for a mile, pleasantly alter- nated. The above is not a description of some hamlet in rural Ontario where busses still tie the. inhabitants to civilization once or twice daily, It is Todmorden, the quaint district over the Don, east from the new Government House and the brick yards. "Mill Road" was the old name for Broadview avenue. Probably only one in every thous- and citizens has ever been there, al- though one has only to keep on up Broadview avenue from Danforth, or arrive at the same iBtersection by following the road which ascends the eastern hill from Winchester street bridge. Todmorden is entirely isolated from the city otherwise, ex- cept by a roundabout access from Yonge street at Deer Park, crossing Moore Park bridge and turning down Bayview avenue to where it meets the C.P.R. tracks; a winding hillside road can be descended thence which brings the wayfarer to the bridge at Todmorden's mill. The village is a little bit of Old England set down in York County; it was founded principally by folk from Yorkshire and Devon. Tod- morden's inaccessibility is probably responsible for the fact that--unlike every other adjacent suburb----none of the farms have yet tempted the real estate men to exploit their dinky lots. Increased 'Business With Russia Canada's neighbors as well as other neutral countries are watching very carefully the trend of their ex- ports, and they'are giving particular | attention to making a permanent line of articles now being handled for war purposes. For instance, Russia is taking from the United States a large quantity of steel rails for mili- tary purposes but which it is antici- pated will still be in réquest for ex- | pansion which is looked for in that country following the peace settle- ment. Canada Is participating in the increased export business to Russia, but not to so great an extent as the United States, The latter's eRports for the fiscal year ended June last are estimated as being ten times greater than for the year ending June 30, 1914, whereas Canada's are less than four times greater within the same period, Maples Around Graves.

At the oil plants to-day will be found special appliances for loading wag- ons specially constructed to oil roads, and the treatmeni is becoming more general as a result of the experi- ments of quite recent years. Approx- imately the cost of oiling a sixteen- foot road at present is $425 a mile. This is on the basis of half a gallon of oil per square yard. The frst treatment requires this amount, and the second a quarter of a gallon, which would cost $225. The increas- ed demand for road oil/from year to year is in itself an indication that the difficulties incident to the use of oils for road surfaces have been over- come. Mr. John Jackson, the Super- intendent of the Queen Victoria Park, Niagara Falls, says: "A perasal of engineering maga- zines and the articles published din their road sections of ten years ago, and even less, discloses the remark- ably different attitude displayed by road officials of the present day us) compared with the views then held on the subject of road oiling. As late as 1907 or 1908 it will be observed that for the most part the use of oil is spoken of as experimental, and while it is hoped that the results will be satisfactory, so hesitation and doubt is expressed about anything more than a partial solution of the dust problem. It was soon discover- ed, however, that the cost of oil was very much less than that of continu- ously sprinkling water upon the sur- face of the road during the dry and dusty season, and this fact probably had a great deal to do with increas- ing the popularity of the use of oils; for it is well known that a saving in money values is often welcomed when increased efficiency at the same price is not accepted with enthus- fasm. These early days, too, were not without their difficulties, and one can well remember the storms of protest whieh followed the sprink- ling of oil in altogether - too large quantities per square yard. Suits indeed were often threatened against the municipalities for damage to car- pets, clothing, ete, the history of oil. The difficulties were due very largely to the use of distributing apparatus totally un- suited to the purpose for which fit was being used, the original inten: tion being that of sprinkling water, and not oil." Our Button Market. For the year ended March last buttons imported into Canada were valued at $597,645, or about $31,000 more than for the previous fiscal year, In 1913-14 the imports reach- ed a value of about $880,000 each year, 'of which the larger proportion came from the United States. Be- fore the war the Central Empires of Europe supplied to Canada buttons to the value of about $150,000 an- nually, and this trade during 1914- 16 has apparently been divided be- tween Japan and the United States. From the latter country the increase of the 1915-16 imports over those of the previous year was $102,000, or over 30 per cent., and the button trade with Japan increased 32 per cent. The whole of the United States export trade in buttons in- creased during last year by 79 per cent. Further expansion is expected because of the demand for the but- tons of the United States from for- eign countries, and efforts are being put forward to get'the trade. A re- port from Washington to The Boston Transcript says the United States produces enough buttons to supply nine-tenths of her own requirements and more than half the supply of Canada. In the same despatch it says that all the world except the United States and Canada buys but- tons from the central European countries, Japan and the United Kingdom, This is apparently an error. Canada hitherto has bought | largely from Europe as well as the United States, as already- indicated. In 1913 58 per cent. of our imports came from the United States, and to- day about 80 per cept. It is quite evident, however, that Canadian fac- tories have before them a consider- able home market to conquer.--To- ronto Globe. wns ig Germany. Privates ell and V.
