Carl’s words. “ But we shall dieâ€"mamma and I shall soon die tOgether.” Else’s strange sleep, her husband’s unusual emotion, all ‘ filled my mind with a. tumult of con- flicting conjecture. The following evening, table d’hote lbeing over, several of us, including the Coninghams, were outside the hotel watching the sun in his royal descent behind the mountain range. I never remember a. more beautiful sunsetâ€"ex- cept one ; and it may be that the clasp of a hand now cold made all the differ- ence. How boldly the Matterhorn stood out against the rosy gold of the sky ! How lovimgly the flush of light lingered about the summits, as if loath to leave it! “ The mountain will loom the more darkly for this memory when the sun is gone,” I think to myself. “ Alas that suns should rise in this life only to set 1” I had unconsciously spoken my thought aloud, and Mr. Coningham, who was next to me, replied to it. ‘3 M A1. “uv Hun-J n.v--- V, “Still, Miss Thompson, one would not banish the sun.

A group of guides were also watch- ing the sunset, and discussing .the weather in relation to climbing. Suddenly one of them exclaimed in German, “ Herrgott, but this is the lady we saw yesterday all alone upon the mountain!” and he plainly indicat- ed Else. eu 1.2135.

Directly in front of the hall lay a large sheet of water, beautiful enough to look at with its island and overhanging willows, and the green sweep of lawn which lay between it and the house; but it could not be very healthy, I thought. It was on an Adgust evening that I first saw this lake. The setting sun was flooding it with rosy light. The silver swans looked dazzling white as they moved majestically over the glow- ing water. I stood still a moment to admire, and to think with pleasure of the surprise I was going to give Elsa, for I was not expected till the next day. As I looked my mood changed. A feel- ing of fearâ€"almost of terrorâ€"took hold ‘upon me. So beautiful a scene should be productive only of peace, and I heard no sound 3 yeLâ€"I affirm itâ€"I could have cried aloud in my nameless terror. I felt as if under a powerful control outside myselfâ€"-that I was helpless in its invisible grasp. I moved with rapid steps to the very border of the lake. I knew not but whas I might be compelled to enter the waterâ€"I had no pow er to 1csistâ€"â€" I was being driv en 011w a1d.

I tried to run to her to take her awayâ€"whither I hardly knew, but she must not, should not see what I had seen. But I could not move a step. The air seemed full of the soft hum of insects, and I was descending slowly from a. height. I struggled not to lose my senses, and then gave in. The next thing I knew was that an old servant was bathing my head, and that Mr. Coningham was standing ‘ over me with a wineglass in his hand. I was in a low-ceilinged drawmg room hung with faded amber silk. “IA. “-4.

As we were entering, Mr. Conningham rJd me that she had been in one of her <t range sleeps, and this time it had last- did. “Jesus called a. little child to him,” she said, still with that joyous smile i1- luminating her beautiful face. “My husband,” she then said, bendirg a lov- ing look upon him, “I shall not be dif- ferent from others tlzcre; I shall be only spirit then, and two worlds will not contest for my soul. Good-bye, my husband. Good-bye, Joan.” It was all over then; little Carl’s words had come true. The local paper styled Carl’s death from drowning an} instance of the carelessness of superior“ servants. It Spoke of the death of the child’s mother as one from shock. The world of print knew nothing of the strange reality of the tragedy. I my- self did not obtain much more informa- tion than I have already given, for Mr. Coningham shut up the Hall and went to the east as soon as the last sad duties were performed. 1 could not question him at such a time. This much he volunteered. Elsa had fron childhood been subject to strange sleeps, during 5 which she was seen by friends in other places.

Sir Hector Langevin had no strength in Ontario, and was weak in his own province, and besides had none of the qualities of a popular leader. Mr. Chapleau could be led but could not lead. Mr. Abbott, however was a man of unusual ability and of the sound- est judgment. He could speak both languages fluently. He was popular in Quebec, and could hold the party to- gether in Ontario. He was the only possible leéder for the Conservatives , after Sir John Macdonald. It is whis- l pered that there are a good many Con- : servatives thinking in the same direction. One of the most remarkable escapes! ever made was made by M de Chateau-l brun during the Reign of Terror in Paris.

A French crowd is very curious, andthe people kept pressmg forward to i see the man arrangihg the guillotine.

Thin, soft dry hair needs tender care, but with either the first step towards 1mpr0\ e- ments is thorough washing of the scalp and hair, whichg collects dust: its entire length. To cleanse it the various alkaliw borax, ammonia carbonate of potash and washing soda are used: and the strong hair will hear them, but they burn the life out of thin, dry hair. The Venetian ladieswdrew‘f their :hair through a. crownless hat::txid let it stream over the brim to dry, and you may follow the example, sitting in the sun if possible an hour. Light is a great stimulant and preservative to hair, and it is well to up- en it when dry and let the Wind blow through. The sun will cause the natural oil of the hair to flowâ€"or the head may be held to the fire till the dry hair feels moist. A smart brushing night and morninn', carefully braiding before sleep, and an‘hour spent once a month clipping all forked ends, will insure a. rapid growth of hair, if the general health isgood, with- out other treatment.
