Beresford were really the ne'er- do-weel connection of the Earl’s, who had taken the ring thirteen years ago, why, what of that! He had repented of the wild ways of his youthâ€"by the bye, he couldn't have been so very young thir- teen years agoâ€"well, at any rate, he had settled down respectably long since; and if h~ did drop a stone out of his ring in the v silway-carriage on the night of the robbery, mat did not proveâ€" Gerald did not shape the thought further. But again Mr. Shaw’s ceivlction that the stone was a valuable clue to the robber came into his mind to t ;r- ture him with new and alarming fancies. Peggy was still ill, so he was spared the Bin 0 evading the questions she would have u sure to ask. He had been so much preoccu ied by thoughts of her, and anxiety about t e business he had in hand, that the small persecutions and insults of his fellow- boarder, Mr. Hicks, had for the last few days entirely failed of their effect; and when, on the third Sunda after his owu and Peggy’s arrival in ondon, he was told that his tormentor had gone away for his yearly holiday, the intelligence aflorded him much less relief than it would have done a fortnight before. Mr. Hicks, how- ever, never forgot to pay off a grudge, such as he considered he owed Peggy for snubbin; him, and Gerald for tupplanting him in the estimation of all the women in the house by the very simple means of practising ordin- ary courtesy toward them. AGREAT SECRET; I he was the obch*. As soon as {Hey saw t be n_otioe(_i thing, he_ W98 assailed by}? ”I thoughtuit‘would surprise you,” he laid simply. And évery face at the table underwent a sudden change. Miss Simpson, who had spread the report that he knew nothing about the publication of the banns, and had told them all to watch his face when he heard of it, was aghast ; Mrs. W Alton, who had only just got wind of the affair, looked nnutterabl relieved; while the sympathies of m at o the- rest turned at once in the right direction, the laugh raised was at the expense of Mr. Hicks and Miss Simpson; and, with thefieartiness of reaction. real congratulations were showered upon Gerali instead of the mocking sham felicitations of a few minutes‘_ before. He received them with perfect 'self- ossession, and did not even hurry away rom the luncheon-table; but he was much relieved when the party broke up and dispersed in search of nap or novel, and he wasiree to snatch n his hat and dash out of doors for a litt e steady thought. ' fire of nods‘and smiles, half nervous, Kali malicious, of congratulations, of innuendoes, of “ You might have told me i" and “ When is it coming off 3” which made him look from one to the other in a nu zament. ‘Only Miss Simpson remained silent; and this fact awoke his suspicions that some trick had been played upon him. On this particular Sunday, Gerald was lurpriagd at luncheon-time, when the ladies had returned from church, to find that. there was a flutter of curiosity, surprise, and gmpnementnmong them! of which apparent- No one could have told, from the manner in which Gerald received this announcement. that he heard- it for the first time. He had been so well prepared, by the expression of vulgar malice on her face, for some disagree- able news, that he was able to look straight It her and leugh quite naturally. The two following daye, during which he could hear nothing and do nothing. were a time of torture to the young follow; for solitary brooding over the matter brought him to the conclusion thet there was some- thing more than on accidental resemblance between the snappiah old Earl and Mr. Bereaford. Lord Kingsolife was much old- er than Mr. Beresford, and. in spite of the lyeie of the latter, weaker and more in- rm; his face was thinner, more eunl'en, end his voice feebler and less under control; but there was such e strong nndeiinabie like- neee between the two u‘en in speech and manner, that. with A sudden hot flush, Ger- eld felt the question darting into his mind. “ Could Mr. Baree'ord be the relation Lord Kin sclifl‘e meant ?” He felt horribly asham- ed 0 himself the next moment for allowing each a suggestion to take shape; but, in spite of .himeel‘f, it would come back again “ Only that, at the suggestion of Mr. Hicks. who tol’d us we should hear some- thing worth listening to, we all went to the Kris!) church this morning, and heard the nu between you and Miss Bereaford pub iiahod for the third time. ” “ What. does all this mean, Mina Simpson -â€"g_a§ xou t_ell me 2” {18 naked qgietly._ AI soon as Gerald got back to Mrs. Wal~ Don's house, after his visit to Lord Kings- elifl’e. he wrote e long letter to Madame de Lonely, telling her all about it, and asking her whet he should do next: His anger against the perpetrator of the impudent trick soon spent itself; the fol- low was out 'of reach, and there was an end to that side oi the matter. But Peggy, what would she say if the story were to come to her ears? He cmld only hope that she would. not be so dee ly hurt and ofi'ended that she would hrea ofi' her old affectionate intercourse with him. and either refuse to speak to him again at all or be so stiff and prim as to make him wish she had done so. Gerald did not know much about girls, but he understood that they werewiliul creatures, who never saw any matter by the man’s light of common sense, and he thought it very likely that Peg y might refuse to believe that he had no and in the matter, and quite improbable that she shenld treat him as a fellow-victim, He had u out some time in Regent’s Park, end was me lug his way through the throng of young men and maidens with the unmis- tokeble impress of Sunday on their unbe- coming clothes, when it occurred to him that he bod been very foolish not to take the good~natured Mrs. Walton into his con- fidence, and beg her to help him in keeping the affair a secret from Peggy until she should get well. The fever was over new, And there was nothing the matter with her but extreme “mimosa, which kept, her in her room still. Gerald hoped that by the time she came down-Muir: he might enmmnn enoughcnurage to tell her the story as a joke,and at the same time he thoughthe Wee Iuhtle enough to tell, by the way CHAPTER XXII. . OR. SHALL IT BE DONE. She was holding out her hand to him, so he came forward as boldly as he could, and stood' to front of her, without at first daring to meet her eye_s._ “ I’m very'glad you are so much better. We didn’t expect to see you down so soon,” said he, in a stifled, constrained voice. “ Aren’t ou glad to see me down, then, Gerald ? I oped you would be.” It was all right, then ; she had not heard of the trick. Gerald’s head went up with on expression of great relief, and he knelt down beside the sofa and looked at her for the first time. Her face was very thin and very white ; but her eyes were so bright, and the smile about her mouth was such a happy one, that Gerald thought he had never seen her so prett or so sweet before. As, kneeling he bent hi; head to look more closely at her, she stretched out her arms and put them lovingly around his neck. He was astonished. but very much leased, by this tenderness; and, with his heart beat- ing so violently that he was afraid its throb- bing would frighten her and make her draw her arms away, he kept very still under her caress, and for the first moment dared not even lift his eyes to hers.

The first irregular impulse: of his passion had now been fanned into the steady tire of utter devotion, fed by her innocent caresses, by the sisterly kisses he received, but scarcely dared to return. If she had only been some other man‘s daughter, and not Mr. Beresiord‘s, he felt that he, inexper- ienced in woman’s ways as he was, Would have a better chance than any other man with this girl, who, petulant and wayward as he knew her to be, would always be a fairly princess to him. e hurried back to Mrs. Walton’s hoping that it might not be too late to warn her. But as soon as the door was opened by the servant he saw the landlady herself flutter- ing down the stairs, witha bunch of longrib- bone, which she wore on the left shoulder of her Sunda dress, floating behind her: she stopped e citedly and beckoned to Ger- ald, who came up the stairs three at a time, ‘ delighted at having found his opportunity so soon.

Mr. and Mrs. Nesbitt are out, so you can go in here,” she opened the door of the drawing-room, half-ushered, half-pushed him in, and then, instead of following, shut the door and ran down-stairs. Gerald could have sunk into the earth : leaning back on the note, sup- ported by pillows, was Peggy. He could only see the to of her head ever the cush- ions, and, as e 6 did not move, he, after a moment's pause, turned to the door to escape.

He wished to keep in suspicions to himself, however, but Peggy saw that, something was being he tfrom her, and she coaxed, and teased,flan . gueee~ ed, and suggested, until at last Geralff was forced to confess that he held something stronger than mere suspicion :that Smith was an accomplice in the robbery, if not in the murder. 7 “ Stranger than suspicion I Oh Gerald, do m. 513°“ Pwef-i‘. He said these words very slowl , very distinctly, in a low voice, with h s eyes fixed upon her white quivering face and his hand laid impressively upon hers. Both remained for a few seconds very quiet, very still, breathin heavily, and reading in each other’s eyes t e full measure of importance which each attached to the startling an- nouncement. Then both started violently at the same moment, and turned their heads sharply to the screen before the door. Gerald got up and looked round it, but nobody was there. “ Why does Madame de Luxury want you to see Mr. Smith, Gerald ?” asked Peg ggy whgg ghey wort; aitfing by file tire together “ I hzv'e to give hini'a -lettor from Ber, as I told “ V\ (yucouldn' t she send it by post. ’ She must have some other reason, qurald.

As he stoo at the little window of his room in the early morning, watching the first rays of the sun shining on the glass panes of a studio 03- posite, and wishio to goodness that a su - den eclipse woul let him go to sleep, he came to the conclusion that the only course open to him was to go boldly to Mr. Bares- iord as soon as his errand for Madame de Lancry was accomplished, and to ask him to let him take another situation, with a view to getting a position which would en- able him to become a suitor for Peggy's hand. Having made up his mind to this course, he felt madly anxious to get his busi- ness in London over ; and when, seen after breakfast. Peggy came down-stairs into Mrs. Walton's sitting-room, she iound him restlessly wandering about the room with his hat in his hand, not liking to leave the house without having seen her, and yet eager to start on his daily journey to the Charing Cross iiotel. . r “ I thought I heard somebody come softly into the room,’ 'said he. “ I’m sure I did, " said Peg ggy. “ You don't mind my leavmg you for a. minute, P_egg_y_. "’__ She said "”No, " and he went out into the hall. There, talking to the servant, and glancing about him8 all the time with his sharp little black eyes, was Mr. Smith.

Hotels are utillzzd as homes by the peo- ple of the United States to a far greater ex- tent than by any other people. This fact and the rapid growth of the population of the country explain the wonderful in- crease in the number of hotels. It is estimated that on an average forty ho. tela are destroyed by fire every month in the United States, and yet the whole number does not decrease because the average of new ones erected every month is sixty-five.

So far as I have seen, there is not an editor in England who understands the subieet well enough to know whether the treaty is favourable to Canada or not. Car- tainly nobody can be discovered who cares a continental. The solitary desire here all along has been to have the dispute closed, no matter how, so long as there is an end to it. Nothing could be more mistaken than the idea that England was anxious to get the better of America in this matter. There would never have been a voice raised in op- position in the Commons if the whole Cana- dian case had been abandoned. As it is, Mr. Chamberlain is felt to have got through a delicate job very cleverly and successfully, and, I should say, he will return to England with a distinct increase in his political pres- tige.” l' he relationships existing among the members of the various royal families of Europe would puzzle the most expert gen- ealogist, and must be somewhat confusing even to the royalties themselves. As th process of intermarriage goes on the degrees of kinship become more and more mixed and it will not be surprising if, at no distant date, a European king should be able to boast that he is his own grandfather. It is re orted that Prince Albert Victor of Wales is etrothed to his first cousin, the Princess Alexandra of Greece, while the Princess Victoria is betrothed to her first cousin, the Crown Prince of Greece. There is a good deal of truth in the remark of a contempor~ ary that the next generation of European monarchs will be mainly brothers and sisters and first cousins.

Those who at e not possessed of much riches may console themselves in the con- tempiation of the unhappy state of mind of “Bonanza” Flood. Although two or three years ago he was worth $40,000,000. he is now oppressed with the fear that he will die a pauper. Last summer he and “ Bon- anza" Mackey lost between them something like $12,000,000 on the disastrous California wheat deal. and since then they have had a iallin out. In a hufl‘ Flood determined to with raw from business and invest the re- mainder of his fortune in such a way that it would not be liable to further shrinka c. He accordingly dumped all his local stoe s, bonds and other quick assets on the San Francisco stock market, with the result that the market became demoralized, and Mr. Mackey bou ht up such of the securiles as he wants on his owu terms, and the rest, as the Chicago Mail nts it, “went knocking about like loose arrels of pork in the hold of a storm-tossed ship, liable any minute to punch holes through the bottom." The result is that Mr. Flood is losing his sleep o’aights through dread that he will die a pauper, and is said to be in a pitiable state of mind. The old moral can be extracted from these facts. A New Method 01 Steam Heating on the Erie. The Motive Department- of the Erie rail way has invented e new system of steam heating, which does not infringe fon any patent, has given great promise of success, and will doubtless be universally adopted by that company. The new system consists in direct heating by steam from the locomo- tive, which passes through a rubber hose coupling, running from our to car, each of which is filled with radiating pipes placed along the sides and underthe seats. The heat in each car is controlled independently by a regulating valve. The coupling is carried from car to car in a similar manner to that which has been used successfully in Surden for many years. The cars) an be easily coupled and when disconnected the coupling }discounects and closes 06' the steam auto- ‘msticslly. No difficulty has been experi- ‘ enced in keeping the cars at an equahlo tem- p hture in cold or mild weather. A num- ber of cars are already equipped and in service, and others are being fitted up as ’ rnpidlyus possible.
