The attitude was hardly in good taste. accordlng to Lady Mabel‘s law of taste, which was a. code as strict as Draco‘s. - The bells rang on. “The new year has come!" cried the duke. “Let. us all shake hands in the friendly German fashion." On thls 'there was a general shaking or hands, which appeared to last a long time. It seemed rather as it the ycuag people of opposite sexes shook hands with eachothermore than once. Lord Mallow would hardly let Violets hand go, once having got it in his hearty 31737592. . n-_1 -__- ..--_ â€".A “an. I can managcdhat much. at a push. You seem music-mad to-nigm, Ma 91.

Lord Mallow and Lady Mabel Ashboume, who were coming along the terrace towardâ€"them, talking gayly. Lord Mallow had a much wider range of subjects than Mr. Vawdrey. He had read more. and Could keep pace with Lady Mabel in her highest. flights; science. literature, politics. were all as one to him. He had crammed his vig- orous young mind with everything which-it behooved a man panting for Parliamentary distinction to know. “Where have you two people been hiding yourselves for the last. half hour?" asked Lady Mabel. “You were wanted badly just. now for ‘Blow, gentle gales.‘ I know you can manage the bass, Rorie, whemyou like." The bells chimed on wilh their te - der cadence, halt joyous, half sorrowful. ‘l‘he shallower spirits among the guests clmllered about the beauty of the night and the sweetness of the bells. Deeper souls were silent. full of saddest thoughts. Who is there who has not lost something in the years gone by which earth‘s longest future cannot re- store? Only eternity can give back the ravlshed treasures of the dead years. They were standing at the end of the terrace furthest from the orangery win- dows, out of which the duchess and her \isitors came tiooping,r to hear the ngmood chimes. Rorie and Vixen kept quite apart from the rest. 'lhey stood silent arm in arm. looking across the landscape to“ ard the winding Axon and the quiet market town hid- den from them by intenening hills \onder nestling among those grassy hills lies \loyles Court; the good old English manor-house where noble Alice Leslie sheltered the fugitives from Sedgemoor, paying for that one act «'f womanly hospitality with her life. Fur- ther away. on the banks of the Avon, is the quiet church-yard where that gentle martyr of Jeffrey's lust for blood takes her long rest.

To \‘ixen these things were so familiai that it “as as if she could see them with her bodily ex es as she looked across the distance, n. 1th its mysterious shadows its patches of sitter light. That speech was the sweetest com- fort, he could have offered her. Vixen gave his arm a grateful hug. Violet’s lips irembed and were dumb. Roderick saw the tears rolling down her pale checks, and offered no word (I censolation.

The old year is dying. Remember the dour days that are gone when you and I used to think a new year a thing to be glad about". And now, what can the new years bring us half so good as that which the old ones have taken aWay?" She had slipped her little gloved hand through his arm. and drawn very near ta him, moved by tender thoughts Hi the past. He looked down at her with eyes from which all anger had vanish~ ed. There was only love in themâ€"deep love; love such as :1 very affectionate brother might perchance give his only sister: but it. must be owned that bro- thers capable of such love are rare. “No. child.” he murmured sadly. “Years to come can bring us nothing so good or so dear as the past.

A despatch from Ottawa says:-A few days ago an employee of the Militia De- partment named Marlineau appropriat- et. .sonie blunk cheeks of the department. tilled them out for certain amounts, forged the names of the leading oflici- 015 and cashed them at the bank. In this way he obtained some 360.000 to “70,000. and is now serving a term in the penitentiary. It appears that some- one who is not yet known has been tol- luwing Murtineau's daringr forgeries and has been successful to the tune of a. few hundred dollars. It has ust leaked out that over a dozen blank Checks have, been stolen from the Inland Rev- enue Dtj)al'll‘llCJlt here.

There are those who see or profess to see an insurrection of dangerous pro- portions already launched, but the facts, or so far as they have reached the cupi- tat, do not, justify such a deplorable Con- clusion. II, is true that. events in the Midi have taken a much worse turn thun seemed at first likely after the initial measures of the Government Wednesday morning. when Ferroul, ex-Muyor of Narbonne. and others were arrested, but. up to the present writing there is not sufficient. reason for believing that. the Govern- ment. is [ace to face with an armed in- surrection. The motors captured Special Commis- sary Dulest at Nurhonnc and are hold- ing him as a hostage. All circulation on the streets is prohibited. at about 8 o'clock. resulting in six per- sons being killed and many wounded. One man who ‘scaped told the corres- pondent, that he was ’near the canal and saw a crowd driving a detective along with kicks and blows. \\'ith thirty companions he succeeded in getting the detective from the crowd. The chemists being shut. they carried him to the town hall. on the top steps of which were two officers and many soldiers. The man asked the captain to receive the wounded detective, whereupon an order was given to the soldiers and they lined up, ready to tire. The rescuers were astounded and turned to flee. when :1! least. fifty shots were fired into the rescuers and the crowd following them.

The principal fighting took place un- der the windows of the Hotel D'Angle- terre. Several English visitors wit- nessed the struggle, and said the people fought, for hours with sticks and stones against the soldiers, who fired volleys. Women with aprons allied with storms supplied missiles to the men and urged them on. Republican leaders harangued the' people to revolt.

HOSTILITY TO CAVALRY. The crowd's hostility lo iho cavalrx began at the arrest of Ferroul. when the cavalry roughly treated the crowd accompanying the ex-Mayor's carriage. Since then the hotels have declined lo" receive cavalry officers for meals. The butchers are ready to serve the inianhy as usual. but will not sell to the cavalry. The feeling has become so strong that the military authorities are not using the cavalry. but are leaving all the work to the loot soldiers. Gen. Turcas upon leaving his hotel. stopped to speak with some one on the pavement. He was immediately sur- rounded by a crowd which threatencté to throw him into a nearby canal. Th General gave his word of honor that the cavalry should not go out, and he was allowed to leave. A dcspatch from Paris says: Like an electric shock the news ran through Paris about noon on Friday that, 8. mil- itary mutiny had been added to the serious developments of the situation in the wine-growing districts of the south. The report, that 300 men of the 17th Regiment of Infantry had in a. lady marched out of the barracks and; joined the peasantry was received at first. with incredulous amazement, and when soon after confirmed, with feet- ings akin to anguish. Clemenceau sent an immediate reply that he accepted no wnditiom,â€" and that his, colleagues in the Cabinet. fully ap~ proved of his action. HAVOC BY FOREST FIRES. lost
