You don't get '47 port every day, you know, and there isnt much of it left now in the old bin. Fill up your glass, and then we can talk over this matter comfortably." . l ' - sh ded lam threw a is to become of Dane and Trichetl Are subduggâ€"sr‘z‘idlilaice :ver 8. 8138.11 round l we to allow this splendid inheritance table in the dining room of one of the largest houses in Cromwell Road. 'Ihe wine decanters, of antique cut glass, stood on the table, and some old china. dishes, filled with nuts and winter fruits. There was a glitter of silver, and of colored Venetian finger-bowls; whilst a few rare hot-house flowers, orchids and eucharis lilies in a silver bowl, in the centre of the snowy cloth, that was of an exceeding fineness, completed the perfect decorations of the small table. A chair, half push- ed away at one side, denoted the re-. departure of a lady; the ser- vants, too, had retired, with velvet footsteps, softly closing the double doors behind them, and the two men, friends and partners, were alone. Matthew Dane, the master 'of the house, and head of the ancient and prosperous mercantile firm of Dane and 'l'richet, sat with his .back to the fire-place. A strong, Vigorous old man, with a hooked nose, and .niany seams and wrinkles in his wellâ€"marked somewhat highâ€"coloured features, but without a white hair in his almost coalâ€"black, stramhbfalling locks. Mat- thew Dane was a man born to rule and to command. Ready of wit, clear of brain, untiring in energy, he had, C(‘Dl. by his sole exertions, for many years} piloted the great house safely through all the storms and dangers of bad sea-n sons, depression of trade, and failing commercial impulse. Where others had sunk, submerged in the remorse- less stream, Matthew Dane had kept' up his headâ€"preserving, unbroken, the credit and the prestige of the splen-a did business which, nearly half a cenâ€" tury ago, he had inherited from his grandfather. As to "Trichet," he had had no personality since those remote ages when the French branch, at Lyons, had joined hands lwith the Lonâ€" don firm, thereby consolidating. and strengthening it to an extraordinary degree. 'l‘richet, save in the person of one clerk, representing an almost unheeded junior branch of the old family, had; now no existence. As in London, so in Lyons, Matthew Dane was the head and mainspring of the whole business. He was, in fact, a demiâ€"god, not only to the firm, but, unfortunately, to himself too. It seemed to him that he had but to speak, and his word became law; only to command, and servile obedience Was instantly rendered unto him. He was master of all that came into contact with him, for the heads of other great houses, at home and abroad, with whom he (lid business, and who, when Matthew Dane recommended such and such a course of action, were at once convinced of its infallibility, simp y beâ€" cause he advised it, of Joseph Halliday â€"-for long years his managing clerkâ€" whom by his own good pleasure, and for his own advantage, he had trans- ferred, with one stroke of his pen, into his partner, without in any way al-l toring his position as his inferior ofâ€" ficerâ€"master too, of his clerks and his servants, of his dependents, of every kind and degree, and last, but not least, he was master of his wife. And yet, curiously enough, it was in the person of Mrs. lJanc that opposition had met. that proud and domineering spirit in the most: obstinate and ag- gravated form. ' Mr. Dane, had married a wife, not as ordinary men marry, and from ordi- nary motives. He had not fallen in love with the lady as ordinary mortals are wont to do; neither had he sought her for her fortune, for she was portion-- less and he was wealthy; nor again had be chosen his bride from any worldly inducement, of high birth, or influential family, for she could not boast of any aristocratic connections, eilhcr mushroom or ancient. He had simply selected her out of a large family, because she was young and healthy, with a clear, wholesome skin, and a. robust and hearty appetite. "Here," had said Matthew Dane to himself, “is the fitling mother of my children; the person who is most apâ€" propriate to give an heir to the house of ‘Dnne and 'l‘richet.” So he mur- ried her, and Mrs. Dane fell into ill- health shortly after her marriage, and was childless. For the f irst two years of their marâ€" ried life he surrounded her with af- fectionate solicitude; for the third and fourth the solicitude remained, whilst the affection puled; for the fifth and sixtli,:in angry reprtxichfulness against duty unfulfilled, and obligations tin- redeemed. had supervened; and then, after that, he let her alone, recogniz- ing that she was ii failure, and that she had ruined his ambitions. He al- mtst hated her for her delicacy. and at the Very bottom of his heart he wish- ed that she were (lead, so that he might try his luck once more. such was the man. clean-shaved, strong-featured. hawk~cyed, young yet. in spite of his seventy years, who sat at his table in Cromwell Road. and passed round the tawny-coloured ‘47 port to his partner. A very dif- forent man to himself was Josrph flailiduy, his partner. A good ten years younger than his superior, he was, nevertheless, much older in perâ€" sonal appearanceâ€"lib: hair and whis- kers were absolutely white, his fore- hand inclining to baldness. his features sharpened and pinched. An habitual deference. of manner characterised his intercourse with Mr. Done. a weakness 9f aspect, a ready scquiesconce of word, that was yet not wholly free from a certain amount of running and “madness in the expression of pale ed at him keenly and sharply. It was, perhaps, not an easy thing to doâ€"thus to define the physical and mental pecularities of his children. But Joseph Halliday held in his hand the key to the situation. He was not a great man, like his senior, but he was a very shrewd oneâ€"he knew exâ€" actly why Mr. Dane wanted to know all about his girls, and their natures, just as plainly as though he had heard him say: "Which of the two is the most suitable for my purposeâ€"which can I'easiest mould and govern, so that. in the event of her becoming my nophew's wife, I can still rule both huh and, her ‘2" I _So he set to work to answer him diplomatically and cautiously, for, afâ€" ter all, it was upon Geoffrey, and not upon hJS uncle, that the decision would finally rest. 1 “My two daughters are both, I thank God. In very good health, both are tall comely-looking, they have brown hair, and nice complexions. As to their characters, Angel, the eldest, who is twenty-two. is of a gentle and retiring nature, whilst her sister Dul- me, although equally tractable, is, nevâ€" ertheless, rather more impetuous in disposition and impulsive in manner.” "Humâ€"Miss Angel is a fool, I sup- pose." muttered old Dane. “Not at allâ€"not at all," replied Mr. Halliday, considerably nettled by the remark. "Angel is by no means deâ€" ficient in talent and character; all I meant to imply was that she is less easily carried away by her feelings than Dulcie." "What in the name of fortune, my good fellow,” here broke in old Dane, Diamond____.. OR. "Fill up your glass, man," said old Dane, in his full strong accents, "and let me hear your own views. “is are two old men. I am childless, you are sonless.

Phillibut has four isons," added the great man meditaâ€" tively, with 3. suddenly falling v01ce, and then he was very silent, tapping against his finger bowl with his alâ€" ;mondâ€"shaped finger-nail. _ i "It seems tome, Mr. Dane,” here said 1the juinor partner, with a. covert glance at the fixed and dreamy face.

"Speak up, Halliday.

And Mr. Halliday setâ€" tled his chin into his collar with a litâ€" tle conscious pride. Matthew Dane gave him a. swift and. sudden glance, sharp as a. needle, out of those keen, hawk-like eyes.

Mr. llallidiiy sipped at; his port with in. face of resignation, and looked inâ€" ltenscly uncomfortable.

Mrs. Henry Gifford. at Kenivlue. Proves the Value of Dr. “llllaxns' l‘lnk Pl". In lhls t‘omllllon. From the. Acudien. \\'olfville. NS. 'l'he case of Mrs. lltnry Gifford, of Kcniville, who some time ago was cured of a distressing malady through ihe medium of Dr. \Villiams‘ Pink l’iils, is of peculiar value as illustrat- ing ihe rapidity with which this re- in-irkable medicine operates. A repro- sentaiive of the Acudien who called llpull Mrs. Gifford the other day to cli- cit information, Concerning her cure, found her to be a very intelligent lady, and a hearty advocate of the use of Dr. Williams“ l’ink Pills. Upon learning the objrct of his call hire. Gifford expressed herself as pleased at fhe prospect of having an opportune ity to give piibliciiy to her rcnnrkable cure. "I h-ive told all my friends about it," she Slld, " but have often felt that it was my duty to hive a statement o‘f'my 0156 published in the papers."

In this condition 1 was attacked by a haivy cold. and an enlarged ionsilof greit size and extreme painfulness was ihe result. For 9 weary months Iwae unible to turn my head. and my health became such that I could not exert myself in the least. Several physicians were consulted. but without the slight- est benefit. ’l‘he swelling was finally lanced but the operation only aggraâ€" vated the matter as my blood was so impoverished that the incision did not heal but developed into a running sore. Despondency seized me and at times I almost wished that I was dead. At last by a happy chance I was advised to use Dr. \Villianis'Pink Pills. After using a. few boxes the swelling dis- appeared and perfect health and buoy- ancy of spirits returned. clince that time Mrs. Gifford h IS had implicit con- fidence in Dr. \Villiains' Pink Pills. end his used them for any physical disorder of herself or children with the same happy results. Dr. Willianis’ l‘ink Pills create new blood, build up the nerves, and thus drive disease from the system. lnliun- dreds of cases they have cured after all other medicines had failed, thus estab- lishing the claim that they are a marvel among the triumphs of modern mud- icnl science.
