Ferguson was not Only a scamp, but, like] most of his class, a coward. He had been bitterly disa pointed in his interview with Alida. As ar as his selfish nature permit- ted, he had a genuine affection for her, and he had thought of little else besides her evi- dent fondness for him. He was so devoid of moral principle that he could not com- rehend a nature like hers and had scarcely lieved it possible that she would repulse him so inflex.bly. She had always been so gentle, yielding and subservient to his wishes that he had thought that, having been assured of his wife's death, a little er- suasion and perhaps a few threats woul in- ~duce her to follow him, for he could not "imagine her becomin attached to such a man as Holcroit had 8been described to be. Her uncompromising princi le had entered but slightly into his calcu ations, and so > under the spur of anger and selfishness he ‘ had easil entered upon a game of bluff. He ‘ ~ knew we I enough that he had no claim upon | Alida, yet it was in harmony with his false ldieart to try to make her think so. He had . no serious intention of harming Holcroft,â€" , he would be afraid to attempt this,â€"but if he could'so work on A_lida’s fears as to in; CHAPTER. XXXII. JANE runs nous: To run Llox. It can well he understood that Jane had no disposition to return to Mrs. Holcroft and the humdrum duties of the house. There opened before her an exciting line of action which fully accorded with her nature and she entered upon it at one". Her first im also was to follow the man oi whom she h learned so much. Not onl was she I! nrred to this course by her cur osit but a so by her instinctive oyslty to Ho croft, and, it must be admitted, by her own in- terests. _ Poor little Jane had been nurtur- ed in a hard school and had by this time learned the necessity of looking out for her- self. This truth. united with her shrewd, matter-of-fact mind, led her to do the most sensible thing under the circumstances. “ I know a lot now that he'll be glad to know and if I tell him every thing he‘ll keep me always. "The first thin he'll want to know is what’s become of t at threatenin’ scamp,” and she followed Ferguson with the stealth of an Indian.

At any rate, he would fin his re- l ven e in making Alida. and Holcroft all the ‘trou 1e possible. Even in the excitement of the interview, however, he realized that he was playing a dangerous game, and when Jane answered so readily to Alida’s call he was not a little disturbed. Satisfied that he had accomplished all that he could hope for ‘ at present, his‘ purpose now was to get back .. “m N» Anunlnn- av ylvuvuv, n.-.â€" r_-r-_- to town unobserved and await develop- ments. He therefore walked rapidly down the lane and pursued the road for a. short. distance until he came to an old, disused lane leading up the hillside into a grove where he had concealed a. horse and buggy. Unless there should be necessity, it was his intention to remain in his hiding-place until after nightfall. Jane had merely to skirt the bushy hill- ' side higher up, in order to keep Ferguson in . view and discover the spot in which he was i lurking. Instead of returning to the house, ‘ she kept rieht on, maintaining a sharp eye . on the road beneath to make sure that H01- 3 croft did not pass unobserved. By an ex- ! tended detour, she reached the highway and ‘- continued towards town in the hope of meet- I in the farmer. At last she saw him dr ving rapidly homeward. He was con- l sumed with anxiety to be at least near to Alida, even if, as he believed, he was no 1 longer welcome in her presence. Whenl Jane stepped out into the road he pulled up his horses and stared at her. She, almost bursting with her rest secrets, put her finger on her lips an nodded ortentously. “ Well, what is it 2” he as ed, his heart beating quickly. ‘ “ I’ve got a lot to tell yer, but don’t want no one to see us.” “ About my wife 2” The girl nodded. “ Good God I speak then.

Sitting down, as if too weak to stand, be buried his face in his hands. He could not bear to have Jane see his distress. “Tell your story," he said hoarsely, “ quick, for I may have to act quickly." " (mess yer will. Did yer know she was married?” “ Certainlyâ€"40 me.” " No, to another manâ€"married by a minister.

By this time, the first gust of his passion was passing and reason resuming its sway. He paced up and down in the road a moment or two, and then sat down as he said, “ I don’t half understand what you’ve been talking about and I fear you don’t. You’ve evidently been listening and watching and have got hold of some thing. Now, I’ll be as patient as I can if on 1 tell me the whole story quickly,” and e turned his flushed, quivering face to. wards her. “ Then I s‘pose you'll scold me for listen~ in’ and watchin' that scamp,” said the girl, sullenly. “No, Jane, not in this case. Unless your impressions are all mistaken I may i have to thank you all my life. I’m not one to forget those who are true to me. New, begin at the beginnin and go right ' through to the end; then may understand better than you can.” | Jane did as she was told, and many “says he‘s” and “ says she‘s” followed in her liter- al narrative. Holcroft again drop ed his face into his hands and before 8 e was lthrough tears of joy trickled through his fingers. When she finished, he rose, and iturned away, and hastily wiped his eyes, then gave the girl his hand as he said, l"Thank you, Jane. You’ve tried to be a ‘|true friend to me today. I’ll show you 5 that I don’t forget. I was a fool to get in r such a rage, but you can’t understand and ‘ ; must forgive me.

At last she saw that it was getting late and that she soon might expect the return of her hus~ hand. She dragged herself to the door and again called Jane, but the place was evi- dently deserted. Evening was coming on tranquilly, with all its sweet June sounds, but now every bird song was like a knell. She sunk on the porch seat and looked at the landscape, already so dear and familiar, as if she were taking a final farewell of a friend. Then she turned to the homely kitchen to which she had first been brought. “ I can do a little more for him," she thought, “be- fore I make the last sacrifice which will soon brin the end.

The new building erected on the corner of Bay and Wellington streets b Messrs. Wyld, Grasett 8; Darling, who esale dry- goods importers, is one at the most complete establishments of the kind in the Dominion of Canada. No expense has been spared to make the warehouse everything that it should be, and the most casual inspection is suiiicient to show that completeness in every detail has been achieved. The firm was re- organized last February, Mr. Wyld who fl 1‘ many years has been identified with busi- ness interests in Toronto, taki ' to part- nershipZMr. A. W. Grasett, a t gh ex- pert in staples, and Mr. Andrew Darling, who takes charge of the office departmen The warehouse of Messrs. Wyld, Graset ' Darling is five storeys in height, the ‘jse- ment is built of Credit Valleygown stone, the first storey of Ohio gre ne 3d the walls above of red brick. he sills, bands and string courses are also oi Ohio stone, and at the corners are heavy round stone pinnacles with conical tops. THE MAIN ENTRANCE consists of two heav dwarf arches, one on each street, while inside the portico rises an interior arch supported upon red granite columns with carved capitals. The roof, above which five walls extend, is of Trinidad asphalt, which is a ve durable material. The size of the various ats are 118 feet by 60 feet, and they are provided with about sixteen windows each. The side wall of the building facing the north on Bay street gives exceptional op(portunities for ample lighting, and in every epartment goods can be seen to perfect advantage just where they lie. The interior fittings of the building are of oak, and everything throughout the struc- ture is of a massive character. The establish- ment wi‘l be ‘heated by steam, the boiler being situated under the sidewalk, and each flat will be illuminated with incandescent ‘light. There are also under the sidewalk lavatories, etc. , and storage rooms. At the east end of the building two elevators run from the basement to the top storey, so that goods can either be des tched or re ceived with the least possible elay. A gran- olithie pavement from the entry room to the shipping hoist is a feature of the base- ment. The COUNTING ROOMS AND OEFICIS, as well as the private rooms of the members of the firm, are handsomely fitted up in ac- cordance with modern requirements. The ceilings throughout the building are of wood, with supporting columns of iron. A passenger elevator finished in oak is conven- iently placed near the main entrance to the building. Speaking-tubes connect every department in the establishment and a telephone room is situated near the front offices. The various floors of the establish- ment are utilised as follows :-The basement contains an entry room and packing .and shipping department, and will also be: used for storing surplus stock; the ground floor contains offices, and is specially devoted to ‘leading staples of Canadian and imported manufacture; the second flat is devoted to woolens and tweeds from all the leadin mills of Canada, as well as fine imported goods of Scotch manufacture, and an endless variety of worsted and “last of England tweeds. This department contains over - thing necessary for a fine tailorin trarl'el The third storey contains dress-goo s, silk, smallwares and haberdashery generally, and the fourth a large stock of hosiery and knit- ted goods. At present the firm, not being yet thoroughly established in their new premises, part of the top flat is used as an entry-room and is crowded with code ready to go out.
