It is the first lllllt' since she has given up the world that she has pcrmiiled hersclf to talk on the subject which drove her into retirement. aiitl she finds she can- not hour it yet; the old wound still winccs at a touch.

But there-don't fash yourself; I dare say it was none of your doing "â€"a little mollified by his evident distress. "Indeed, I hope not. Heaven knows. I would not willingly add to her suf- fering.’ The words are so low she does not hear them. I "Likely enough she was worrying about the boy," she goes on. musingly. She turns to the sideboard to cut some bread. and so does not notice; the undue excitement he is betraying. Then as she comes back to the table, she sees for the first time how pale bet is, and. with the privilege of an old servant. comments upon it at once. .” You are not looking well yourself. srr.’ she says. with some concern. “ It is nothing. 1 have a liille headâ€" ache. perhaps. Want of fresh air. I suppose,” he answers lightly. "There's the. park. \Vhy don‘t you walk out sometimes 3" " Would Lady Leigh care about that? There would always be the chance of our meeting, and I do not wish to be an annoyance to her." "I forgot that," says Tabitha. but in- wardly resolved to speak to her lady on the subject at once. C I t 3 Colonel Dare is just putting down the lamp preparatory to retiring for the night, when the goodâ€"natured but blunt-spoken woman servant putshcr head in at the door. "My lady hopes you will walk in the grounds as often as you feel inclined. and there’s a library downstairs. if you care to go sometimes."

It is some days before Colonel Dare sees Lady Leigh again. thlher it is that she guesses at what time he will be out, and so avoids him. or whe- ther she has ceased to care for out- door exercisc. it is difficult to de~ termine. but certain it is that neithâ€" er in the park nor on the stairs does he meet her. Not the'less does he think of her. however, and Rollo forms a strong link between them, the little fellow repeatâ€" ing to each what the other has said in childish ignorance of the interesttha‘t one at least takes in the recital. It is evening when chance brings them together again. The tutor is walking up and down, before thi house. looking a little wistfully at the. window. where a subdued light is shin- ing. as he smokes his afterâ€"dinner His gaze is still directed upward. when a slight. shock runs through his frame, and he finds that Lady Leigh is almost. in his arms. Coming sudâ€" denly round the corner of the house. she had not seen him unlil too late. For so elderly and staid-looking a man, he is singularly confused by this encounter. and by the halfâ€"amused smile that flickers on her lips as she notcs what it is which so attracts his gaze. [listily flinging away the cigarette. he raises his hat and murmurs some inarliculal‘c apology. ' -“Yo-u were looking at: lhe stars, Mr. Dare 2’" ' "Yes, I was looking at the stars." Lady Leigh smiles at little conscious- 1y; she- is too beautiful not to know of her beauty, and to guess at least a part of his presumption. yet too gracious not to forgive it. She has wrapped a shawl round her and come out directly her solitary meal is ended. ' - In the clear moonlight Colonel Dare! can note the soft. silken robe. the glitâ€" I tor of jewels. and the gleam of lth snow-white throat and arms. In spite oi sorrow. men of despair. she has reâ€" tziincil sufficient womanlincss lo love pretty things for their own sake. and to care. to look well even if there is~ no one to admire her. "What- a 'ovely sighing. Colonel Dare acquiesces. and, turnâ€" ing round. walks by her side. l “Tabitha tells me that you haveI been keeping in all this lime for fear of annoying me." She says again. pres- ently; “[ am very sorry that you, should have done so." ‘ “Is it a false report. then. that re-l presenis you as being wedded to 39â€"; clusion. so averse to meetingâ€"â€"â€"" "No; ii. is lrue. .‘lIr. Ihre, if you' knew my story. you would not wonder that I should hale all men for. tile sakei of one." He does not. answer, being amazed at the. audacity of his own question and the warmth of her reply; but. Somehow, she seems to know his silence ' is from sympathy. not coldness, and does not resent it. . They have come to a rustic seat. and Lady Leigh. with a gesture of fatigue. sinks down on it and motions her comâ€" panion to do the same. Nothing loath, he complies. . “It is the. anniversary of my wed- ding day." she says. presently, in a dummy voice. only half aloud. “It is nearly seven years since I came to this gloomy risen." “You 0 not like the place." he asks. in some surprise. "Other places are worse. Here at. least I am free from the insults of pitying contempt and curiosity."

Always impulsive in words or deeds. l [PREPARATIONS FOR THE GREAT MARCH T0 KHARTOUM. â€"â€"â€"- Lady Leigh’s lips are opened new bl' frown“: ‘0 can”, 0“. Seniors om the unexpected encounter; her confi- deuce is won by the lutor’s gentle voice and evident admiration for hcrself, and Perhaps not a little by the halfâ€"clerical garb he has adoptedâ€"women are SO prone to religious influenceâ€"besides. tonight the past seems so near that she feels she must speak. She goes on after a pause. “ I was nineteen when I married. per- haps younger than my years, and be- fore I had been a wife three months. my husband told me. with cruel canâ€" dor, that he had never loved me, only married me from pique. \Vith equal frankness, he informed me of the name of the woman for whom. alone he cured. and half begged, half commanded me to invite her to our house. But why do I tell you all this i" " Because you know I sympathize. and because it is good sometimesto un- burden one’s heart, lest it sh’ould be- come over-full and break." The shawl has fallen back from her head in her ex i sweat, and the moonâ€" light. streams 0 or her uncovered hfllrv encircling it like a halo. Her eyes are glittering and hard. but she smiles a smile so bittersweet that it is more pitiful than tears. , “ If my heart had been breakable it would have broken long ago," she an- swers sadly. “ I was too hardened from the first. Six months after our mar- riage we were separated; he to follow up the attachmcnt to which he had so long been a slave, and I to wander about the Continent striving in vain to hide myself from the sight of men. Nearly every town I visited contained somebody I. had known before. The bestâ€"informed and least censorious pit- ied me as the woman whose husband had left her without a given reason; others, not so merciful, condemned me as a faithless wifeâ€"for my case had not come before the public, and where there IS mystery the woman is always blamâ€" ed. Oh! it was very, very hard to bear.“ " You have indeed suffered,” he whis- pers gently. and it is well that his eyes are hidden by spectacles, for they are burning with an indignation which might. have betrayed his secret. " The worst was yet to come. It; was at Rome. in the papers 1 had seen that she was there with her husband, al- ways admired and sought after. And further down the column I read of Lord Leigh’s prcscnce in 'the city. I meant to leave at once, but that: same. afternoon I met them driving. He lift- ed his hat with a illefiant, mocking smile, and sheâ€"~cut me dead; I, the. in- nocent, injured wife, and she, the guilâ€" ty woman, only countenauced by the world because her husband was still with her, blind or callous to what should have Leon his shame. I could bear no mbre then. 'l‘hat night my child was born. and directly l. could travel, I came in Lciigh Park, and have never left it since. ,- "Yes, I guess what you would say; society no longer blames me; it knows . all the truth at last; When my husband died so suddenly he had not prepared for death. and papers loft; undestroyed had rendered further concealment of his sins impossible. A reaction set in. and l was besieged with letters and cards of condolence, but can you wonâ€" der that l did not again trust a world which had once treated me so ill? My parents were dead; [was an orphan when I married, and in all my life I htzLi'e only know none true friendâ€"Tab- l a.” " And me I” he answers rapidly. "For Rollo’s sake. Lady Leigh, count me, too. I would do much to serve you.” " You are very good,” is the rather stiff reply. as Lady Leigh suddenly awakens to a sense of her indiscretion in having said so much to a more out- sider. " Or very presumingâ€" vhich?” he asks. a little sadly. ' She is at once rcpentant. feeling that it may seem as though she had twitted him with his position as dependent in her house. "No. I mean what lsay. It has not been my lot to meet with so much kindness that I can afford to rcfuse it when offered." "Even from me.” bitterly. “Least of all from you. You have been so good to Rollo; that alone should make me grateful,” “I did not ask your gratitude, Lady Leigh, only your friendship. Taking care of Rollo has been a very pleasant task." i " And he is looking so well now. so well anl strong. Before you came he was getting sensitive and delicate. im- perious. too. as all womcn-bred child- dren will. nol nowâ€"â€"â€"" The mother‘s words fail her in des- cribing all that her boy has become under his new gu:.rdi:in=hip, how manly andryei gentle, how intelligent, but always ready for play. or to listen to those stories which the tutor often tells him in the twilight. " :l‘hen your ladyship is satisfied with me. "Quite." is the cordial reply. and she holds out her hand. Then suddenly it strikes her how sci- dom he addresses her by that title: not that he is disrespectful ever, only inâ€" dependent. and perhaps unconsciously speaking. as though they were equals, not employer and employed.

The British newspapers are now re- ceiving despatches almost daily from their correspondents with the columns under General Gatucre and Sir Her- bert Kitchener. The force under the latter which leads the advance is principally compos- ed of Egyptian troops officered by Bri~ tishcrs. . i The following from the correspondent .of the Daily Chronicle dated \Vady 'Halfa gives'an interesting glimpse of the situation and the probable course of events: ’ Long before this can reach you the decision of the Government of Down- ing street will have been made pub- lic concerning the principle of help to the Government of Egypt in this com- ing campaign, though the amount may not be made known until later. But it is more clear than ever that help must be found outside Egyptian re- sources if the Khalifa Abdullahi is to be beateh out of Khartoum. And I should not wonder if England is asked to find a million for this purpose. I could tell what it is necessary to find the million for, but: it has not been my habit to blurt out official secrets unless it is for the public good that they should be made known. And here it is not in the public interest that there dar’s plans, much as some of us might like to summarize them for the benefit of our readers. ‘And really there is cause for saying that ageneral’s intentions are not and should not be PUBLIC PROPERTY. There is especial cause for saying so in the present instance. There are plenâ€" ty of people in Egypt who make it their business to supply the Dervishcswith information of proposed Angloâ€"Egyp- tian movements. Abdullahi gets the Cairo and Alexandriic, Arabic papers which watch the European and especi~ ally the British Press very carefully in ’the interest of the man whom they regard as an arch-heretic and yet as : a Mussulman who stands infinitely su- perior to all Christians. Let me give you an instance. Last year it was announced on good enough authority that Sir I-I. Kitchener had been advised from London not to adâ€" vance beyond Berber. When he sent the gunboats under Colin Keppel up beyond Metemnch, almost before the course of peaceful post could have tak- l len the papers containing the semiâ€"ofâ€" ficial announcement as far .as_ [shar- . toum, the Khalifa exclaimed in intcnse {surprise and indignation: " \Vhy the, fellow is disobeying the orders he has msson known she said she would be I -..â€".â€"-â€"â€"â€"- t ready on more than one occasion told the home-staying reader all that would really interest him as regards plans. and that Sir H. II. Kitchener holds the Khalifa and the Dervishes in the hollow of his hand. bar a few isolated raids of no importance. Strategically. he must fight one. or at the. most three. losing rattles if he fights at all on a big scale. Michaelmas Day will see Khartoum once more with British rulers. whether the. flag be tho crescent and star or the [Tuion Jack. lircn allowing the widest conceivable margin for delays and casu- alties. there never was a series of oper. ations contemplated of which the ro- . suit. could be mbrecusily foreseen. Ru- mors reach me from Berber about. the increasing signs of hostility among the l§,000 inhabitants of that slxâ€"mile-long' City. At first. the sympathisors with the ” English “ appeared to far outnum- ber the admirers of the Khalifa. Now I am told of officers being‘insulted.’ in the streets. and that they are advised never to go out without. their revol- vers. Ono officer goes so far as to say, “ Berber is a volcano." HEART DISEASE. A TROUBLE NO LONGER REGARDED AS INCURABLE. An Orangevllle Lady Who [Ind Sum-red Severely Sprain of Her Illness and Tell: llow .ihc Found a Cure. From the Sun. Orangevillo. Out. A- remarkable case recently came under the notice of our reporter. and for the benefit it may be to some of our readers. we are going to tell them about it. In the soulh ward of this town lives Mrs. John Hubbard, alady much esteemed by those who know her. Mrs. Hubbard has been a grcat sufferer from heart trouble, and ultim- ately became so bad that it would not have surprised her friends to have heard of her death. But a change has come and she is once more rejomingl in good health. When our reportar cull- ed upon Mrs. Hubbard and made his delighted to tell him of her "miracu- lous cure ” as she styled it.

Many of us have been inclined to scout the peasibility of barbarians like the Mahdists being able to get or to make use of such information. But the fact remains that; they do get it. and that it is very valuable to them occasionally in'cnabling them to avoid an impend- ing blow or to pause in tho delivery of one likely to rebound on thcmsclves. EFFECTS OI“ MODERN AR'lTlllLEltY. 'l‘hat visit of the gunbozits to' Metem- neh has produced a piece of evidence of the effect of modern shell fire on earth- works, which has not yet. to my know- ledge, been made public. Commander lKeppel has reported that aflcr he had passed beyond Meteinneh he dclermin- ed in returning to lead his litlla squal- dron of three. The Dcrvishes fired on him vigorously. and he more vigorous- ly replied. His slicll in a very few rounds so smashed up the cmbrasurcs (of the Dcrvish farts that they could lnot see the lcading gunbozit for the '. clouds of dusl. or sland to their Weap- lons unler the iron hail. ’l‘be conse- quence was that the second and third gunboals not. only had no need to fire, but actually could not effectually fire ’ by reason of the invisibility of any thing on which they could have laid llioir guns. I think that incident will bring home very forcibly to thinking mcn what is the. power of modern artillcry. even in the case of mins of small (':Il~ ibre.
