British Flag, ,od ox: radon-t You I must. have stared lite a madman. For \ery fear of my own violence, I dared not move or speak. Mademoiselle Ol- tilie, or. to call her by her proper name, Madame de Jennico, very composedly re moved her veil from her hair, pushed tack her hood, and withdrew her hand which i still unconsciously clutched. Then she turned and looked at me as it waiting for me to speak first. 1 said in a sort of a whisper: “What does this mean?" _ “it. means. Monsieur dc Jennico, that, tor your own good. you have been de- caved.” ‘ There was a little quiver in her voice. “as it fear? Was it mockery? i thought the latter. and the strenuous control I was endeavoring to put upon my seething passion of fury and bewil- derment broke down. I threw up my arms, the natural gesture of a man driven beyond bounds, and as I did so fell the figure beside me make a suit- dcn. abrupt movement. I thought that she shrank from innâ€"that she feared lest l, 1. Basil Jennieo. would strike her, a woman! This aroused me at once to a sense of my own position, and at film same time to one of bitterest. contempt for her. But as l wheeled round to gaze at hen! saw that whatoxer charge might be laid upon herâ€"and God knows she had wrought a singular evil upon meBo-the accusation of cowardice could not be part of them. Her face showed white, indeed. in the pale light. her fea- tures set; but her eyes looked fearlessly into mine» Every line of her figue ex- pressed the most. daunttess determinm tion. She was braced to endure, ready to face. what. she had drawn upon hex" self. This was no craven, rather the very spirit of daring. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++H" ‘- Illllllllllllllllllli- ‘HWH+++§H+++++++H++HH++++H++++W “In God’s name,” I cried, “why have you done this?” “And did you think." she said, look- ing at me. I thought with a sort of pity, “mm princesees, out of fairy tales. are so ready to marry lovers of low (legrcv, no matter how rich or how gallant? Oh. I know what you would sayâ€"that you “But this deception.â€"-this impossible, insane fraud.-â€"what is its object? What is your object? You encouragfl xnemynn: incited me. Confusion!” I cried and clasped my head. “I think I am going mad!" are well-born; but. for all thin. princbss- cs do not wed with such as you, sir!" Every drop of my blood revnlled against the smart of Ibis humiliation. Stmnmering and protesling, my “T: :‘h oven-flowed my lips. “Her Serene Highness thought she would like to see me settled in life" said my bride with the old look 0! _derision on her face. lseized her hand. “It was the Princess's plan. than?” I asked in a whisper; and it seemed to me as if everything turned to crimson be- fore my 9395. Shév'met' my lookâ€"and it must have been a terrible nneâ€"wiih the same daunllessness as beforgt and‘nnswered atter a little pause, with cool deutero- lion: “Yes. it was the Princess’s plan.” The carriage drove on through the min; and again there was a silence be- tween ~us. My pulses heat loud in my cars: I saw. as if written in fire. the whole devilish plot to humiliate me for my presumption. 1 saw myself as I must appear to that highlbom ladyâ€"- a ridiculous aspirant whose claim was too absurd even to be seriously dealt with. And she. the creature who had leant herself to my shame. without whose glib tongue and pert audacious counsels I had never presumed, who had "I‘ A â€"- MAIIR mu“... m. -‘ - _ dared In carry out. smiling. so gross a fraud. to wear my ring and front me Simâ€"how was f to deal with her? Those were the thoughts that surged backward and forwards in my mind. fu- tile wreckage on stormy sea. in the first passion of my anger. “You know." I said at fast. and felt like a man who touches solid earth at IasL. “lhaf this is no marriage.” ,,,A_, .1 IL!- ILA kI-‘|-. lIn-v u...» "or countenance expressed at this the} most open amazement and the. most1 righteous indignation. l “llow. sir.” she criedâ€"“has not '.he priest wedded us?

As she spoke she smiled again. and looked at me with that dimple coming and going beside the curve of her lip. As they say men do at the point of some violent death. so I saw in the spa-re 5,! a second my whole life stretched be- fore me. past and future. ‘ I saw the two alternatives that lay to my hand. and their full consequences. l knew what the audacious little de- ceirer beside me ignored-that it rested upon my pleasure alone to acknowledge or not the validity of this marriage.

(To be Continued.) Policemen Were Attacked With Knivest and Pistols. A Kingston despatch says: Twenty Italians are in police quarters, and Vin- ceno Detailn. the ring-leader. is in 8. separate cell with a deep cut over the left eye as the result of a riot wnieh broke out at. the Grand Trunk station on Thursday afternoon. in which knives and pistols were used and a police ser- geant and detective badly handled. The trouble began this morning, when the Italians repairing the G. T. R. trnelts refused to go to Work near Collins Boy, demanding.y higher wages. They grew demonstrative. and the city police were called. but by the time they reached the (ti-pot. quietness reigned. Again in the afternoon rioting was resumed. and the men. who were in a very rebellious mood, \rere ordered away from the station. They refused. and the police attempted to enforce obedience. in the meleee which followed Semi. Robt. Neshitt. oi the Kingston police force. and Detective Mcl‘tae were bad- l; stabbed. Neshitt was slashed down IIu- arm. and deeply cut on the breast tun? on the leg. The doctors fear his lung is punctured. McRac is in vthe Gen- eral Hospital with a bad wound in the groin. with possible injury to the bowels. Mayor Mownt was at once notified, and a hurry call was sent to the artil- lery barracks. In a short time 50 mounted and armed regulars arrived at the slation. but by this time peace had been restored and the Italians had dis- persed to their quarters. Ten arrests were quickly made. and a dozen of {-he rioters who fled were pursued by a de« iachmen! on a handcar. Nine were ar- rested at Cntpruqui. Shortly before 8 o'clock Dr. Evnns brought in another Italian he had cap- tured on the Perth road. He is alleged to be the man who did the stabbing.

A despatch from London says: Jacob Meyers, editor of the Butchers’ Advo- cate, of New York, after u fortnighl‘s investigation here, declares that, the ma- jority of English slaughtering plantszu-e in a Worse Condition than those in New York and Chicago. ‘ “In the United States,” he said on Wednesday, “the ussemhi‘mg,r of cattle, hogs and sheep and their conversion into beef, pork and mutton take place in broad daylight, and anybody may see the whole show. In England the private slaughter-house and petty peek- ing places are hidden away in remote streets and lanes, where the inspectors seldom or never go. The cheapest meats, coming from nobody knows where, are bought in the open nmrl-zet to be ground up and preserved in tin, earthenware and glossy and then sent by the tens of thousands of packages to the small shops throughout the coun- ry. . t “This part of the indualry is of an utterly wildcat character, wilh no sup- ervision. no real knowledge of the sci- ence of meat preservation, and no sani- lation except such as individuals may chance to think worth while. “I am compelled lo believe lhol mosi of lhe outcry in England is made wilh ininied commercial molives. if so, lne insiigalors are incredibly imlish. for the meal-packing business, irrespective of nalional‘rly, will be involved in com- mon disaster. “We fool that. no impartial man, ac- cuslomcd to weighing: mailers carefully. could confirm the sweeping denuncia- tions which have caused so much mix- chicf. The English lmde will get lhc full force of the boomerang before lung. and then the’ people on lhis side will have some conception of lhis loss and suffering needlessly caused America.” Favored Regiment ol the Czar in Dis- graceâ€"(bmmandcr Censured.
