( EVELYN'S FATE; OR, FACE TO FACE = WITH AN OLD LOVE. / CHAPTER XXX.--(Cont'd) He knew that the law of attrac- tion was sadly wanting between Evelyn and himself--on his part at least--and he was as ready to avow to himself that Lyndall did not love Heathcourt. He did not go toward Lyndall, as he had: purposed doing but a short time since ; instead, he watch- ed her from across the room with lowering brow and gloomy eyes. _. Yes, there was Heathcourt bend- ing over her now, and with such an expression of rapt devotion on his face that St. Leon could have struck him down for it--it so anger- ed him. How was he to dream that Lyn- dall kept him by her side through pique? How was he to know that she answered young Heathcourt's words by such random replies that that young man was puzzled at first, and at last accused Lyndall openly of scarcely hearing one word that he had addressed to her that ev- ening. She was equal to the occasion. She must not lose Horace Heath- court--St. Leon should see that his cruel treatment of her had not quite broken her heart, and more, that she was certainly capable of at- tracting and keeping another lover by her, side. She raised her dark, limpid eyes, heavy with. unshed teara, to his face. "You must not blame me if I con- fess that my thoughts were a little distrait just now," she said sweet- ly, "when I tell you that you were the cause of their wandering. I was wondering just how long I had known you, and where we first met.'" "Have you indeed Lyndall?"' he asked, proach. "It was here at the villa, of course,' she answered hastily, '"'but I was wondering if it was during the first week of my stay here, or later.' "'T can furnish you with every de- tail of the event of all events of my life," he said quietly. "It was on the first day of your visit to the villa; you remember you came into Lenox late in the evening, and as a matter of course, went straight to your apartments, though we were all so curious to see the 'new guest,' of whose charms our hos- tess, Miss Graham, had chanted 80 many praises. I met you in the garden very carly next morning; you had come out to explore the grounds, and in turning a saarp curve in the path, ran ae 1n- forgotten, in keen re- to my arms." MOM AE remember now,' said Lyndall, carelessly, "you ruined the lovely bouquet I had just gath- Yered and was holding in my hands. Poor, pretty flowers !" "You will remember I attempt- ed to repair the damage by gath- ering a fresh one," he said. "Do you know what became of the flow- ers you dropped that morning, Lyndall?"' he asked, in a low, hesi- tating voice. "T suppose they lay in ie path where a had fallen, until the fickle wind chose to make sport of them," she returned.- "Not so,"? said Heathcourt, qui- etly ; "I stooped and gathered every one of them, flower by flower; and, because they had lain in your hands, I saved them. I have cher- ished them ever since. Look, Lyn- dall,'? and as he spoke he drew from his pocket a long leather me- morandum-book, and. there, lying between the pages, Lyndall saw withered rosebuds, broken from the stem, which had been carefully pressed there. He tried to smile. "These flowers," he said, "were yours." He held them out toward her; "you held them in your hands --they belonged to you, and, of course, I'll give them up to you un- less," he added, hesitating a little as he looked at her, "unless you don't care for them again." "No, indeed, I don't,"' Lyndall, gently. "Thank you," he responded ; "then I think I' 4 like to keep them awhile." He tremblingly put them between the leaves of the book again and replaced it in his breast- pocket. Suddenly he became aware that they were attracting a great deal of attention from all parts of the drawing-room--he. must save Lyn- dall from that; yet he must speak. "Tyndall," he said huskily, "will you come out into the conservatory with me? I want to talk to you of something very particular." "About what?' asked Lyndall, in a low voice, almost fearing what the answer would be. "About you and about myself," he responded, huskily. "Excuse me; I prefer not talk- ing about myself,"? she said, with an effort to smile. Her answer disconcerted him; he was not a bold lover accustomed to command. Lyndall knew by the look in his eyes, by | the trembling of the strong white hand, as it accidentally touched hers, what it was that Hor- "? replied eae Domintox current MUNICIPAL RATLROA 7 PROVEN I To yield 5 e THE: CORPORATION LIMITED QUARTERLY BOND A booklet giving complete particulars of our GOVERNMENT BONDS To yield 3.90% To yield 4% to 514% To yield 434% to 5% PUBLIC UTILITY BONDS To yield 434% to 614% BONDS: SECURITIES LIST offerings : DEBENTURES D BONDS NDUSTRIAL Yah to 6% A copy sent on request.

"Will you grant me a short in- terview to-morrow, Lyndall?' pleaded Heathcourt anxiously ; but the answer did not come readily from the red lips. "Will you?" he persisted. "T will see when to-morrow comes,' said Lyndall, with a for¢ed smile. "Your promise would. give me something to look forward to," urged Heathcourt anxiously, casting an adorning look upon her, his whole heart in his eyes. St. Leon saw that look, and he bit his lip with fierce rage as he imagined thé worlds which accom- panied that gaze as oer bent so eagerly over Lyndall. How he longed to stride up to them and hurl Heathcourt back with his strong right hand. He never knew how deep-rooted his love was for Lyndall until that moment, and he almost cursed himself for his folly in loving so devotedly one as false as she was fair. He must not even allow his thoughts to dwell upon Lyndall now, for was he not soon to wed another? Henceforth their paths lay wide apart. He tried to hope that she would be happy with Heathcourt, if she loved him; but the more he pictured it the more «depressed he became. How the rest of the evening pass- ed he never remembered--he only knew that by tacit consent he and Lyndall avoided each other. If, by any chance, they found themselves in the same group, one or the other would immediately break away. "How she hates me," thought St. Leon bitterly. 'I was mad to im- agine that she ever cared for me. Ah, well, as the poet says: " 'He who trusts his love to wo- man trusts to the fickle winds, which blow this way to-day and that way to-morrow.' "' At-length, much to St. Leon's relief, the guests began to disperse; and bidding Evelyn, who. had lin- gered for a last word with him, good-night, he went slowly up to his room. Glancing at the ebony clock on the mantel, he saw that it wanted twenty minutes to eleven, and he sighed impatiently that there was so much of the night to be gotten through with. If he had a book it might bear him company with his cigar, an hour or so at least, and woo him to forgetfulness. With this idea, St. Leon went down to the library, his footsteps making no sound on the thick vel- vet carpet as he walked along. The library door was ajar. He pushed it open and entered. The gas jets were turned to the merest points of light, but the fire--a bed of glowing coals--cast a faint, rosy glow on near objects--the further corner being lost in total darkness. As St. Leon advanced he became suddenly aware that he was not alone in the room--some one was standing before the fireplace--a wo+ man, leaning one elbow carelessly on the marble mantel, her head resting against her palm--the other arm, half-revealed, half-concealed by the flowing sleeve, and which ended in a slim, taper, white hand, hung with unstudied, careless grace at her side. The whole attitude was of one deeply absorbed in thought. When St. Leon was with- in a few feet of the slim figure standing so quietly there, he stood quite still. With a sudden shock he discovered that it was Lyndall. He drew a quick breath, waver- ing, wondering whether he ought to beat an ignominious retreat from the apartment--whether he would be discovered if he drew back. into the dense shadow--and stood there feasting his heart-hungry eyes upon that fair, false face which was still dearer than life to him, or whether he dare approach and speak one word to her. While he stood there deliberating, he saw Lyndall give a quick, shud- dering start, and the next instant, before he could retreat, she had wheeled suddenly around and faced him. Was it some subtile power -- the magnetism of mutual fascination-- that warned ker of St. Leon's near presence? Who shall say? There was nothing for it but to step boldly forward, and this St. Leon did. Ah! how fair and spirituelle she looked standing there in her pale- blue dress in the rich glow of the red-and-gold firelight. St. Leon felt like dropping on his knees before her; but, with a great effort, he restrained the mad im- pulse. "Permit me to turn on the light, Lyndall," he said. "Pardon me for trespassing. I--I did not know you were here."' : "Do not turn on the light,'"' she said hurriedly. "I assure you I--I am going directly.' He drew back hurt, the thought passing through his mind that she must abhor him very much indeed not to want the light turned up lest she must look upon his hated face. How was he to dream that her reason was: in the full flood of light he would detect in an instars that her eyes were red and swollen with passionate weeping, and she would not have that happen for the whole wide world; her pride re- belled hotly against Lt; "Do not go on my account, I beg,'"' returned St. Leon, hastily. "T am the intruder--it is I who must go.

"He might at tcast "ave spared me the insult of telling me to my face that he would not ! ave enter- ed the room had he ksaown. that I was here," thought Lyndall. She turned upon him with the imperious hauteur of a young queen, her dark"eyes flashiag like angry stars. "Tt is of no consequence what- ever to me'as to what brought you in here, Mr. St. Leon," she said, 'not the slightest. Kird'ly allow me to pass." Z (To be continued.) Dt AN AGED PRINTER. Connected. for nearly seventy years with a printing office, which he entered as a "devil," Sir Mac- kenzie Bowell, former Premier of Canada, can be found every day at his desk in the Belleville Intelli- gencer office reading exchanges and writing editorials. That is, when he is not in Ottawa attending to his senatorial duties. When Sir-Mac- kenzie was First Minister he took a trip throughout the West and over the Kootenays on horseback. At that time he visited the office of the Calgary Herald, and, in answer to some bantering, picked up a "stick." Just to show that his right hand had not forgotten its cunning he set up several lines of manuscript which was resting on one of the frames in the composing room. The incident was widely re- ferred to, at the time in the West, but the one which the knightly politician loves to recall the most, is where he walked into a certain #1; butter or bacon fat, one cup dried 41) bread flour, Sir Mackenzie Bowell. country office and asked the pro- prietor, who was not aware of his visit nor the identity of his visitor, for a job. Sir Mackenzie had been travel- ling through the mountains and was dusty and tired after his long day's ride. The publisher, after a num- ber of questions about where he had worked, replied that he was not in need of help just then, but if he could call round later, perhaps he could 'give him a few days' employ- ment. That evening he happened to learn who his distinguished caller was, and hastened down to the ho- tel after supper to tender an apol- ogy for not recognizing him. The two had a hearty laugh over the in- cident. "Suppose I had called your bluff?' inquired the proprietor. '"'What would you have done ?" "Oh, I guess that I could have made good all right," answered the then Premier. "I demonstrated in Calgary that I could still make a living if necessary as a typo."' Co HOW TO AVOID TUBERCULOSIS A Few Rules Which Should be _ Strictly Observed. A healthy body is the best pro- tection against the tubercle bacil- lus or any other diseases breeding germ. Therefore, keep well by ob- serving the following rules :-- Live, work and sleep in rooms flooded with fresh air and purified by sunlight every day. See that your sleeping room is thoroughly ventilated. Use good, pure nourishing food, and thoroughly masticate what you eat. Cultivate cleanly, temperate and regular habits of living. Avoid breathing dust-laden air. In sweeping and /dusting use a moist broom and duster. Don't spit on the floor of the dwelling, shop, school, public build- ing or on the sidewalk. If you must do so spit in the gutter or into a spittoon. If you have a cough do not resort to quackery, but consult a physici- an or go to a dispensary. Make full use of good food, fresh air and rest. Live as much as possible in the open air, and have your sleep- ing room always thoroughly venti- lated. For the protection of oiers when coughing or sneezing hold a hand- kerchief before your face. ~ 4 Z ie See | tire wheat flour to knead. 4 4to burn it.

A level teaspoonful of salt is sufficient for a quart of soup, sauce or vegetables. Salt used once a day is an excel- lent dentifrice, tending to keep off tartar. It is said to retard receding gums. A half teaspoonful of salt added to a cup of hot water--which many! persons take each morning--vwill | make it palatable. Do not gargle with salt water. Throat specialists consider it in- jurious to the tender mucous mem- brane of the nose. To set color in wash materials and embroidery cottons soak them in strong salt water. An excellent tonie for nervous people is take salt rubs twice a day. As sea salt dissolves slowly, some of it can be kept in solution in a glass jar to be ready when needed. The entire salt bath is also good. _ Where a child is inclined to bow- legs or to have a weak back, rub it | night and morning an & strong | salt water. A faded carpet is ated if| wiped off with a wet cloth wrung from strong salt water. Sprinkle floor with dampened salt and sweep well. Bad dyspepsia can be helped by dissolving pinches of salt on the tongue after eating, or when there is a sense of oppression. HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

The most nauseous physic may be given to children without trouble by previously letting them suck a peppermint lozenge, a piece of alum or a bit of orange peel. A simple method of making iron- work proof against rust is to heat it until it is almost red hot and to brush it over"with linseed oil. This makes a varnish which, unlike or- dinary paint or enamel, does not chip off. When lining a basin with pastry for a beefsteak pudding cut a piece of the pastry away from the bot- tom about the size of a fifty-cent piece ; then put the meat in, and the pudding will take an hour less to cook than if there were no hole in the paste. A slice of lemon cut thickly, and with the rind on, if put into the copper when boiling clothes will keep them beautifully white, and get out all the stains from hand- kerchiefs and children's pinafores. Let it remain in the boiler until the clothes are ready to come out. To mend a zinc pain take some putty, put a small piece on the in- side and a large piece on the out- side of the pail over the hole. Press well together, and place in the open air until perfectly dry. The_ pail will then hold water just as when new. © Enamel bowels and basins can be mended in the same way. When baking pies, either fruit or meat, if the pie is placed in a tin with a little cold water it will save the syrup or gravy from boiling out, but do not let the water dry up. A little water sprinkled on 4m: fruit pies, and then a little dry, fi sugar, will give the pastry a pretty brown appearance, Inkstains on garments can soaked out in a mixture of salt and milk. A teaspoonful of salt to nearly a gill of milk is the right propor- tion. This answers for either white or colored fabrics, but if the ink hag been allowed to dry it will be ne essary to soak the stained part the milk for an hour or two. -- There are two ways of prepar. a mustard plaster.
