Not every man is so well able to avoid the evil results of a " strike” among his employ- ees as was Mr. John Walter, of the London Times. Though a man of liberal education, and a graduate of Trinity College, Oxford, he had been trained to the manual work of a printer “ at case,’ and had passed through nearlynrery department, literary and me. chanical, in the priutizeg-cllisc. His father was the founder of Thy. Jimci. But it was a scant little sheet, mostly devoted to adver- tisements ; and the elder Walter was on the point of giving it up as an unprofitable in- vestment, when the young John, then twen ty-seveu, untreated that the little paper be given ono more trial, and that he be allowed ‘ to conduct it. With some misgivings the father yielded to his son's request. The young man had perschrauco, Hurt and on- ergy, indispensable requisites in an editor. He made ’l'lw. 'l'ium, and was the inventor of lire modern newspaper. Iie spared no pains to make the pap r a' success, and to give it a high moral tone. By his dis ernmout and iiberaiity he gather- so about him some of the best writers of the ay. All in: ovations were 1011.in condemned by the older \\'altcr, who regarded them as vagaries of yuuthrul extravagance and fully. ohn Walter knew the value of work, and paid well, but be had little patience with " strikes." Printers in those days, lSlO, were often rrfractory, and took ndvantago of the needs of their emplryors; for papers were then printed by hand-p ‘wcr ; the first steam~ printing was in 1814. ()3 one occasion to pressmtn asked for a r'serin wages, and that all shou'd be paid the same, whether worth tho same, or not. Mr. Waltcr was about t. accede to their de~ mend, when he learned that there was a nombzuation among rho pressmen and com- positors to leave him, suddenly, without warning. and so stop the pubiicstlou of the paper, and do him serious injury if he did not yield ti their demands. indignant at this, be determined to run all risks rather than yield to whit seemed an extortion. The "strike" took place on a Siturdey morning, when all hands left without warn~ lug.

Then he pulled olfliis coat and went to work himself, with the rest, lirst at the case, than at the press, where he was in- cessautly employed for thirtyaix hours.

V. â€" (CONTINUED) Dolly looked on with dry eyes, but ever- , increasing fear and agony in her heart. She 1 know instinctively, before the doctor had uttered a word, what his verdict would be; so, when h vlaicl the head gently brck on the pillow Joe had improvised, and uttered the mono yilable “ dead" it was no surprise to her. “ It isa terrible afi‘.ir l" D:ctor Seymour said slowly, as the three stood gazing down with different emotions upon the handsome features already fast stiffening in the icy grasp that h'rld them. “ Fearfuliy sudd n to be thus cut ( if in the very prime of life, and with such brilliant prospects before him! You Lady Braithwaite ; it will be a sad blow for her and almost as great for Miss Mainwaring ! Smith, I think it would be well for you to go to the Hall as quickly as you can, and ask to see the butler; he will know best how to break the news. Perhaps it would be as well for you to say that the Captain is dnvgeronsly hurt: they will be more prepared to hear the truth, which will be known soon enough. I will remain here and keep watch in the meantime." Joe started on his errand somewhat re- luctantly ; he wished the Doctor had under- taken it himself, and left him free to talk with Dolly. He had something he wished particularly to say to her, and he might never have such an opportunity. He dared not however do otherwise than obey the commands be had received, and therefore set out on his mission without delay. When he was out of sight. Doctor Sey- mour turned to Dolly and laid his hand gen- tly on her arm. " You can do no good here, my child. This foer fellow is beyond all earthly care and consideration, and you must think of your- self now. I‘ake my advice and return home immediately before any one arrives from the Hall. Your presence here would only give rise to remarks and surmises, which are best avoided. Besides, your father doubtless must be growing anxious at your absence from home at this late hour.” ” My father !" she repeated, raising one hand to her forehead in a confused manner ; and the Doctor saw again that curious look in her eyes, while a slight shiver passed through her frame. “ You are right," she added in a more natural tone ; “ he will be anxious, and since, as you say, I can do no good, I will go nowâ€"onlyâ€"onlyâ€"" And. then, before Doctor Seymour could Inter- poso, or was even aware of, her intention, she had flung herself upon her knees and Was coverrng the dead man’s hand with pasc eionate kisses. The next moment she had raison to her feet, and, throwing back her head with a gesture of defiance, she exclaim- ed proudly, “ They say he would have mar- ried Miss Mainwaring; but be loved meâ€" yes, moâ€"â€"I)olly Jarvis, the blacksmith’s daughter 1" Then she turned, and, without one bick- ward lance, moved rapidly away. “ ell, well, to he sure i” muttered the worthy Doctor, rubbing his hands slowly together and staring after the retreating figure a little blankiy. “ It s a stran e worldl The gonlps were right, after all. ' But, being no gossip himself, and discreet as those in his profession unify are, the good old Doctor never divulged to a single soul what had taken place after Joe's de- perturo. Meanwhile, Dolly sped on her way. At first she walked quickly, her feet keeping pace with the tumult of her thoughts, but oy-and-by the high nervous tension began to relax, the excitement which had borne her up in a measure died away, and her steps lagged weerily. A sort of stupor be- g .n to creep over her, the shadows of the trees formed themselves intofantastic shapes, and seemed to her distorted fancy like so many imps dancing round her and gloating over her misery. She wondered whether her father had missed her, whether he would be very an~ gry when he learned where and with whom she had been, whether even he would refuse to receive her into his house ag do. Well, it did not signifyâ€"nothing signified, now that he was dead. 1) -ad ! Oh, no, it could not b- ! They had been talking together, he liel just told her how much he loved her, when someone had struck him from behind. It hlll all been so sudden, the assault and the deadly struggle that followed. She had been so alarmed that she had, after, one feeble protest, buried her face in her hands that she might not witness that terri- -lo fight. She had heard the deep breath- Iig of the men, the muttered imprecetions, a heavy fell, the sound of retreating foot< steps, and then there was silence -e silence that lasted so long that she was feln to look up: and then she had seen that no trace re. mined of the combatantsâ€"only the was down troddsn and the brambles broken where they had fought close-greet Heaven a) close to the edge of those huge boulders !

As the light fell up- on him the girl uttered a little cry of alarm. Could that old, worn. haggard-lookin man be her father, the jovial blacksmith? urer he never before had that stoop in his should- ers, and his eyesâ€"ob, why did they regard her so coldly, so strangely? Had she sinned so deeply as to have alienated his affection and wrought this terrible change in him within a few short hours? " Well, girl, what have you to say 2" Adam questioned sharply. “ 0's, father, father," Dolly cried, stretch- ing out both hands toe ards him, and falling upon her knees before him, “ don't look at me like thatâ€"it will kill me i I have done wrong; I should have trusted you and told you all : but, oh, if I have sinned, I have been bitterly punished l" “ Howâ€" how 2" asked Adam huskily : and the girl shivered at the sound of that strained unnatural voice. “ He is dead I" the girl answered briefly, with something like a wail. “ Dead 1" Had Adam spoken, or was it a groan? Dolly raised her head and glanced fearful- iy up at him. He was standing with arms crossed on his brawny chest, his eyes staring straight before himâ€"unconslcons even of her presence. “ Father ! ’ the girl repeated in frighten- ed tones ; and then her lance fell upon his shirt-front and travelle down to the wrist- bands. What were those dark red spots be- sprinkied here and there? Dolly's eyes grew dark and d‘stended, whilst they looked like hose of some hunted wild animal. " Fa- ther l" she gasped, staggering to her feet and taking a step backwards. “ Speak l “'hat is this, horrrible thing ‘2 Itâ€"it is not true 1 Great Heavenâ€"oh, say it is not true i I was wrong â€"wben I suspectedâ€"ab, tell me that I am going mad 1" Then Adam Jarvis's strained gaze relaxed and his ey- 3, filled with astrange regret and hopelessness, met those of hlsd inghter stead- ily, as he answered slowly and distinctlyâ€" “ You are not going mad, Dolly ; but I was mad when, in a fit of ungoveruable pas- sion, I struck down the man who had dared to wrong my daughter. ’ Scarcely had the words left his lips when, with a cry that rang in Adams cars until the day of his death, Dolly fell forward senseless at his feet. Drn't you know CHAPTER VI. Sir Ralph and Lady Braithwaite were en- tertaining a_large circle of guests at theHail. There were some old friends of the Baronet, and selerai young men, his sons' friends, for this Was the eve of the twelfth of Au- gust, and the sportsmen were looking for- ward to having a fine time of it on the York- shire moors. But the lords of creation were not to have it all their own way. A number of ladies had been invited to share their host's hospi- tality. and to keep Lady Braithwaite and Miss Mainwaring in countenance, as the lat- ier langhingly protested. It had been decided that there should be dancing every eveningâ€"not a regular ball, but just a homely affairâ€"that form of amuse- ment being the most in favour with the young people ; whilst their elders repaired to the smoking-room, or sought refuge in the smaller drawin g-room, where card tables were set out, for Sir Ralph had a great par- tiaiity for whist. Geraldine Mainwaring was in her own room; she had been lying down to refresh herself for the coming festivities. Dinner had been delayed half an hour in deference to the expected arrival of more visitors. The first dressing-boll had not yet rung when a knock sounded at Miss Mainwaring‘s door; and, in answer to that young lady's " Err/rcz," her maid Celeste came in Geraldine was wearing a pale primrose tea gown, in which she had appeared during the I afternoon, and which suited her style of beauty to perfection ; she had loosened her hair, which fell in rich luxuriance below her waist. There was a happy light in her dark eyes, although her thoughts were evi- dently wandering, or she must have noticed the unusual perturbation of the Frenchwo- man's manner. But Celeste needed no encouragement to speak, for hardly had she crossed the thres- hold when she lilted both her hands and I shook berihead fun way that was exceedingly expressive. " But. mademoisaile, this is terrible, n'est r cs pas 2" she cried. "Oh, what unhappi-l noseâ€"the beau momieurâ€"I can hardly be- lieve it i" “ Believe what?" Geraldine asked sharp 1y, resenting the meid’s freedom of speech. “ Then mademoiselle has not heard 3 I am the firsch bring the news so ill 1" " What do you mean? Tell me quickly !" Geraldine cried, a strange fear seizing her. | But it seemed that Celeste either could! m “k luddly’ for now 'he i you surprised that I am disappointed?

IIas anything happened to him 2" asked Geral- the bolts were back. and a voice likeâ€"yet so as the door pened cautiously, and she crossed the FENELON FALLS, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, OCT. 3, 1885 " I-Iâ€"they say that Captain Braith- waits was pushed over the precipice by a girl,’ Celeste jerked out, “the daughter of a smith who is black. She is very pretty, on dit, and Monsieur 1e Capitan'ne used more times to talk to her." The woman having found her tongue, went on giibiy enough now. “ And then it is supposedâ€"for of course no one can tell for certain â€"that she had heard mousieur was going to be married and was jealous." At the last word Miss Mainwaring releas- ed C.leste as suddenly as she had seized her. “ Thereâ€"that will do !" she said, with a harsh laugh, that sounded strange in the circumstances. " I shall not hold your services, Celeste ;so you may go. No"â€" as the girl was about to speakâ€"“I should prehr to be alone.” So the maid bad no alternative but to obey, though she glanced a little dubiousiy at her young mistress as she turned to leave the room. “ .lla/oi, but she shows a strange sang- lroirl ." Celeste muttered, as she truvei‘sLd the corridor. “One would hardly believe that she basjust received the news of her lover's death. And the other girl? Ah. I can understand that ! If he were peijide, what else could she do 2" The girl shrugged her shoulders, and her black eyes flashed, as if in sympathy with that “ other girl.” Meanwhile, Miss Mainwaring, left to her- self, droppsd no her knees, and stretching out her arms on the chintz-coverei couch, bowed her head upon them in the very acme of despair. It never occurred to her for one moment cousin was dead. She accepted the fact un- questioningiy ; but no tears came to relieve her tortured heart. She was stunned, par- alysed, as it were ; but it was not even Har- ry Braithwaite‘s tragical fate that caused that intolerable anguish. she felt she could have born to lose him, had she know he had been true to her. It was the fact of his having been the contrary that was the greatest blow of all. That he was dead seemed to her but a small afi‘air,since he had not loved her -nay, even in her bitter despair and degradation, she was almost glad that it was soâ€"giad that he would never belong to another wo- men. since she had lost him. It was a poor , satisfaction, after all, and it brought but I temporary comfort. The little ormolu clock on the mantelpiece chimed the hour and still Geraldine crouched beside the couch, her dark unbound hair falling in wild l disorder around her; great dark rims cncir- l cled her eyes. her hands were dry and fever- ish, but still she had not wept. Presently there was a knock at the door. It was not like Celeste's brisk little tap ; and, as if in a dream, Geraldine slowly rose 1 and opened it. On the threshold stood Lady Br-iithwaite white and trembling, with traces of exces- sive grief on her pale face and a general airi of abandonment to sorrow. “ Forgive me, my dear, I could not come before," she said, entering at once, and closing the door softly behind her. “ You have heardâ€"” vously and shivered. l “ Who told you 2” ‘ “ Celeste.” After that brief question and answer there fell a silence upon the two women which neither of them seemed inclined to break. ‘ " You will forgive himâ€"oh, Geraldino,.l you must forgive him l" cried the older 3 lady at last, lookin up with eyes swim- ming with tears “ know you are judging him harshly. You said you knew all ; but‘ that is not possibleâ€"nobody knows ! Yet there may be, there must be some explana- tion for his interview with that wretched girl i ’ l “ No doubt he had deceived her, ns-as ' he did me," Miss Mainwariug said bitterly, with no softening of her voice, but with the bard lines round her mouth growing still harder. : “ You are cruei- cruel and unjust!" cried ‘ Lady Braithwaite, bursting into a fit of pas- . slonnte weeping. “ Oh, my boy, my hon- nie boy i” If the sight of her aunt’s grief moved her, Geraldine made no sign. Astatue of Parish l marble could not have been more chill and calm and motionless. She stood with Her hands loosely clasped in front of her, gazing steadily and unseeingiy before her. Lady Braithwaite‘s fit of weeping ended at last- were exhausted. She iayback in her chair now almost as motionless as Geraldine herself. “ Where have they taken him 3‘" It was l’eraldine who asked the question ' in cl~ar unfaltering tones. “ Into the library. If you could see him â€"oh, Geraldine, you loved him onceâ€"you would forget his faults, and-and think of V him more kindly l” l “ Yes; I loved him once," the girl repeat- ed slowly. “ How long ago that seems now!

In to c:ntre of the room, on e hastily inmrovised bier, the outlines of a figure could be clearly defined beneatht 6 white covering. Half adozen wsx can lee were ssndingapale gle-m across the chamber, making the shadows in the corners appear more deep by contrast. Geraldine hd closed the door softly be‘ hind her, and, now set .ing down the lamp she slowly drew near that central object. Her hands were clasped tightly on her bo- som, which was heaving tumultuously, her breath name in thick gasping subs, her eyes were fixed and strained, whilst her face in its ghastly pallor was almost as death-like us those other emotionless fea. tures upon which she was presently gazing. How calm and peaceful he looked ! There was one ugly wound on the left temple, otherwise the face itself was not disfigured. though the hair was in one place clotted with blood, and the left hand was terribly crushed. Death, even inthat cruel form, had not robbed Harry liraithwaite of his good looks; he had been considered one of the handsomest men in the county The fair looks still clustered round his broad white brow;but there was a strange expression on his laceâ€"a little tender smile was frozen on his lips which the ha1f~opeu eyes belied in their startled appe zrance. It seemed almost impossible to believe that he was really dead. Only a few hours ago he had ridden forth at Geraldine's side in all the abandonment of youth and good health. How gully he had laughed and talked, how proud she had been of her band- to doubt thetrufh olCcleste’s statement. Her I some lover ! And now_,,,, w, M; the light of his inanimate form, a wave of tender mem- ory began to stir the girl’s heart. In his presence she forgot all his failings, even that he had been untrue to her; she remenbcred him only at his best, she recalled the time when they were children together, and, la- ter, when he had been her boyish slave and admirerâ€"ay, even the happy days they had passed in each other's society up to a few hours ago. Dolly Jarvis slipped from her memory altogether, or was banished as a hideous nightmare. And, so living over again the past, as she stood there, all Geraldine’s cold, proud re- serve gave way, the ice that bad bl en en- circling her hoart melted sudddenly and her ' bitter resentment was replaced by the old tender feeling. In an agony of remorse and I repentance, she flung herself upon her knees [ beside her cousin‘s still form; and, taking! his cold hand in h -r own feverish palms abs 5 bathed it with tears, kissing it passionately l again and again. “ Oh, my love, my love," she cried, "for- give me that I ever entertained one hard or cruel thought against you i For who am I thatI should judge another 2” I And in that hour of bitter anguish Geral- I dine Mainwaring's wounded self love was : healed. .

We have' little sympathy foe people like “ Bill S'mp- . son’s dartor." A gentiem in traveling from ‘ Toronto to New York city tells the story : _ At Niagara, two ladies, dressed in the ex- ‘ q trcme of fashion, entered the car. TheirI manners indicated great nifectation and con- stquent slrallowness. The only unoccupied seat in the car was directly behind a quite-looking lady, evi- . dentiy from the country. IIsr dress was of calico, her bonnet of plain straw, and her , her gloves were of cotton. She could not- however, have looked neuter, and rho had s. good, honest face. , As the fashionable ladies adjusted their. draperies in the unoccupied seat, one of them said to the other : “ Don’t you think it too bad that there, are now such ‘0)! ac :ommodations on rail- r road trains ?" ’ “ Howâ€"in what way 2" askcd the com- , panion. E " Why here we are crowded with all classes of people, some if them so common. Look at that person in front of in. “IIorrid, isn’t she?" i “ Perfectly dreadful." l “ Looks like a common lainrer.

Stirring Events in the Life of the Biggest Captlve Stephens. Jumb) was about twenty-five years old. He was sold by some Arabs to the Jerdin de- Plsntes, in Paris, when an infant, and when about three years of was exch aged for other animals and given to the directors of the Zoological Gardens, if London. He re- mained on exhibition there until March, 1 ‘ ‘2, when he was purchased by Mr. P. T. Bar- num for " the greatest show on earth." Ten thousand dollars w: rs paid for him, and after some litigation, as to the right of the direct- ors of the gardens to make the sale, he was dragged through , London on a crate on wheels :nd put on board the “Assyrian Monarch" steamship on his passage to New York. Even then, there were legal barriers to be got over before Jumbo be allowed to leave the country. It was discovered that there was not room enough between decks, he being eleven and a half feet high and weighin seven tons, and therefore the Eu - lisli Pufiairrent passed a special act provid- ing for promotions against loss of life by emigrants who accompanied Jumbo to Amer- ica. All these delays of the law and the un- willingness of t‘ is English people to part with their favorite elephant increased the cost of the animal considerably, and Mr, Baileyflir. Barnum‘s partner) is authority for the'statement that the original cost of $l0,000 rose 150330.000, before he left the English shores. iris LIFE IN AMERICA. He arrived at New York on the 9th of April 1832, and from that day to the present has been a great pet of the American people. For some time after his arrival there was considerable speculation as to Jumbo‘s pro- bable behavior in his adopted land. The managers of the L‘ndon Zoological Gardens had not been unwilling to part with him, because he had occasionally manifested a temper that they believed bordered on in- sanity and they were of the opinion that if he remained they would have to destroy him to prevent him becoming dangerous to visit- ors. Mr. Barnum was not of that opinion ; he believed that the London directors had made a mistake in forcing Jumbo to live an almost solitary life, and he thought that if he had an opportunity given him for con. genial society Jumbo would be very happy, very sociable. and not in the least dangerous. Mr. Barnnm’s expectations were realized, and if Jumbo had one trait of his character that was more highly developed than another it was a love for children. Strange to say, however, though he was for five years under the care of Mr. Barnum and his partners, and afforded every facility for a companion- ship that had been denied him in England, he has died childless. Mr. Barnum said yes- terday that in about ten months they expect to have it posthumous child of his, and in seventeen months another, parturition with elephants taking twenty two months.

He was ixtremel anxious that his pet elephant should also have added to his other Virtues that of tem- Jumbo came short of perfection purchase of Jumbo that the latter could drink whiskey by the quart bottle without it producing any intoxicating effect. Jum- bo a preference for whiske was, however, uite under restraint, an he, very early after his arrival in this country. abandoned whiskey as a beverage and became a beer drinker. In this impact, however, he was moderate in his desires, and though he in- sisted on having his beer regularly every night, yet he never drank more than a quart, and generally one half that ( uantity. Jum- bo’s favorite drink, to Mr. arnum's great delight, was water, and of this he drank the contents of five buckets a day. Considering the very great aim of his body and the aqtlvitv of Jnmbo’s mind, he could not be considered an enonnons eater. His daily allowance was 200 pounds of hay. two bushels of eats, a barrel of potatoes, ten or fifteen large loaves of bread, two or three quarts of onions, and all the cakes and gin- gerbread that the children who visited the show took pleasure in giving him. STRONG 1N vnrknrrsriir'. Jumbo formed very strong friendships. This was manifested in his persistent and uniform preference for Scott, his keeper, lwho had been with him ever since he was three years old. Many ineu tried to take I the place of Scott, but Jumbo would never permit at. Scott's rule was that of kindness, I indeed, it seemed as if the fount of her tears one could only exclude one's self from such and Jumbo acknowledged that mode of gov- ernment by a love that was quite surprising one who had an opportunity of ob serving it. Ssott never used a prod upon Jumbo, and ruled him entirely by gentle persuasion, to which Jumbo inva'iably and promptly responded. There was one occa~ sion when the latter had to remind Scott of an oversight, but the reminder was gently but effectively done. Scotthad every night a quart of beer brought to him, and he in- variably gave Jumbo liali of that. One night Scott Was sleepy and drank all of it, forget~ ting Jumbo's allowance. When Scott had made himself comfortable in bed and had gone to sleep Jumbo put his trunk around , him and lifted him from the bed and deposit- ed him gently on the floor. Scott speedily had a realizing sense of his omission and hastened to get Jumbo his beer. This done the animal was quiet for the remainder of the night and allovved Scott to sleep the sleep of the just I Jumbo had ifect health, was never known to have bier) sick, not even having a chill, a complaint that ve few elephants i do not have at some time 0 their lives.
