It seems mean and treacherous of me. But all last night I dreamed of Mrs. Revelsworth. It seemed to me that she stood at the foot of my bed and said to me, ‘Betty, you must tell the truth!’ I would have spoken be. fore, had they not declared at the m- quest that Victor was drowned. But since then, only last night, something else happened which made me certain you ought to be told." â€". .. 9 I. “‘Told! Tol'd'what? Betty, is it something about my brother Vicpy?” “Yes.

Read this letter. I myself gave it into Mrs. Revelsworth’s hands on the after« moon of the day she died.

That night she died.” “What do you mean ?” “Read that letter.” Dudley read it, frowning, twice through. Then he gave it back to Betty. “Where did you find it?” he asked. "Between the leaves of a novel Mrs. Revelsworth had been reading.

By Jove!” He paled beneath his sunburn, and stared straight before him for a few moments without speaking. Then he turned to Betty with abrupt sudden- BESS. “What has all this to do with my brother ?" he askvd. "‘On the day of his death Victor told me that Francesca had p. nnised to marry him on his return from France. But made me swear I would never tell her that he had confided in me. With- in twenty-four hours, he said, every one would know of the engagement.” "Sheâ€"Francesca promised to marry Victor!" Dudley erclaimed incredu- lously. “Why, she was always requo mg him.

It was when I went back froAm_ths_regatta to vv "v... see how he was. And, Dudley. I have something more to tell you." In low accents and with trembling lips she proceeded to describe to him ‘ minutely every incident which had' taken place. from the moment when she had entered the quiet house in the absence of the women-servants, to the time when she and Heremon returned to find Victor flown. And Dudleyr lis-t- ened with frowning brows and firfnly- compreased lips. drawing his breath through his teeth as she reached one point of her story, but never once in. terrupting her. “Is that all?" he asked in low hoarse tones, when she was silent. “All but this. Last night Joe Well- don had evidently been drinking. He came to me in a frightened maudlin state. and began talking in a confused way about the inquest.

Dudley reappeared at dinner, and Francesca was startled by his changed appearance. He looked like a man ot eight-and thirty, or even more, and there was a steadfast look in his eyes, as though he was putting some violent constraint upon himself all the time. His manner towards Francesca was gentle, and even tender, while he al- most appeared to r ore Betty, so that the latter could not help feeling a little hurt, until she recalled his words of a few hours beforeâ€"“Whatever line of conduct you see me take, you must not questionâ€"you must "0t even wonder.” So tenderly dispos'wl did the young man appear towat'rls others in the midst of his own grief that he sent up a message to ask whether Mrs. Harold Revelsworth would see him, and let Francesca lead him up to the close gar- lic-scented apartmrnt in which her: supposed mother 51?. at her days and ---£---A The old Italian woman was protuso in her sympathy. “I do not wonder you wanted to see me. my dear Dud‘eri” she murmured, as she leaned back in her chair, with her small, yellow, (w-like hands laid upon the arms, at: her black eyes fixed upon him. “er trouble we know -â€"something tells lyeâ€"whether others are real friends r‘ho have suffered too and who am. in sympathy with us.

There was a look in his face which she had never seen before, and which she wholly failed to understand. But the increased hardness in his expression attracted rather than repelled her, and she clung to him with tender demon- trativeness. raising her face to his, and hoping that he would kiss her.

'(To be Continued.) profuso The New Objections to Legislation for Protec- tion of Wool Growers. The objections to the proposed Government Bill are rather strongly put by the Textile World, a paper judging from its name. which has its sympathies mainly with the manu- facturers. They state that if the Bill becomes law no fabric containing the slightest proportion of wool will come into the United States, for there is no method known to man of de- termining how much of the wool in a fabric has been and how much has not been. subjected to a manufactur- ing process before it reached the mill where it was last converted into cloth. This, I am informed. is incor- rect. The Bradford Conditioning House can determine what any fabric is made of by actual percentages. B. MCKINNON, It is stated that the Custom House officials can distinguish corton. linen, silk. and certain other fibres from wool and woollen shoddy; but. they will be forced either to refuse admis- sion to the goods or accept the state- ment of the importer as to how much wool shoddy there is in the cloth. The next objection has reference to the enactment that all goods manu- factured prior to the passage of the Act. and which had passed out of the hands of the manulacturer and the ingredients of which are not known. shall be labelled ” Manufactured prior to the Pure Fibre Act; compo- sition not known.” The article in question contends that the manufactured gcods thus placed under a - haAn _would approach in value 850,000,000 (1013.. and by labelling them they would be cast under snapicion regardless of merit. This, I take it, could ne meninised to a great extent by postponing the Bill coming inco operation until a year or so had elapsed from its becoming law! When margarine was sold as but' ter a great hue and cry was raised» and rightly so, because the {at of an ox was being sold as the product of the cow, and now. iorsooth, because a simple nicroscopic examination (as is the case with margarine) will not disclose the fraud, we are told in this article that no attempt must be made to protect the public and ensure their being able to purchase a pure woollen garment. Difficulties were made to be overcome, and we should not be content to sit down and take it as an accepted fact that there is no solution of this problem. Another dificulty that the writersl see is that honest manufacturers of‘ goods containing 900/0 of wool would tag them as mixed or shoddy goods, whilst the dishonest manufacturer of goods containing 90% of shoddy would tag them as all wool. This difliculty may arise. but I am under the impression that to work up 90°/o of shoddy a considerable amount of cotton must be used, and the dishon- est manufacturer would probably find himself muloted in a‘heavy fine. By Alfred Manse”, Shrewsbury, Eng. As before stated, undoubtedly some shoddy is far better, and would make a better cloth than some sorts of for- eign, lowograde Kempy wool, but these aione, and not adulterated. would not make a cloth to deceive anyone, and therefore would not compete with any except the adulter- ated goods. That there are many difliculties in the way of getting practical legisla- tion on the subject cannot be denied. 1 but the importance of promoting‘ honesty amongst manufacturers and protecting the peeple from imposition demands the serious attention of the Legislature of all civilized countries, because as a matter of fact, it really concerns the masses of the people more than the sheep men who are di- rectly interested. because under pres- ent conditions all the poorer classes .are entirely clad in the adulterated There can be no question that the For all kinds of Agricultural and Domestic Implements visit the large Warerooms of majority of men and women who go into a shop to purchase woollen goods have no knowledge of the extensive fraud daily perpetrated in selling them goods largely composed of sub- stitutes for wool, and that 9070 of the buyers have no idea that when asking for woollen goods they are too often purchasing an article from which raw wool is conspicuous by its absence. This presses heavily on the labour- ing and artisan classes, who practi- cally never get anything except so- called cheap goods. but which would be more truthfully designated it called low-priced goods. It is con- tended that even if the price were somewhat enhanced. the genuine woollen garment would give greater comfort and health, wear much long- er, and in the end prove much more economical than adulterated goods In conclusion.
