The automobile which he was obliged to order for the mysterious marquise put other ideas into his head. It seemed at once ab- solutely necessary to give a coaching party in Italy, and. as coaches of the right kind were hard to find there and changes of horses most uncertain, nothing could be more simple and nat- ural than to import automobiles from Paris. Looking into the matter, he found that they would have to be pur- chased outright, as the renting of five machines would put his credit to too severe a test. Accordingly Bertier tel- egraphed a wholesale order, which taxed the resources of the manufactur- ers and caused much complaint from some customers whose work was unac- conntably delayed. The arrangement made by the courier was that they were to be taken back at a greatly re- duced price at the end of six weeks. The machines were shipped at once, five to Milan and one to the address of the mysterious marquise in Florence. It was with sharp regret that Monâ€" ‘ ty broke into the idyl of the villa, for the witchery of the place had got into his blood. But a stern sense of duty. 1 combined with the fact that the Paris chauffeurs and machines were due in Milan on Monday, made him ruthless. He was astonished that his orders to decamp were so meekly obeyed, for- getting that his solicitous guests did not know that worse extravagance lay beyond. He took them to Milan by train and lodged them with some splen- dor at the Hotel Cavour. Here he found that the fame of the princely profligate had preceded him, and his portly host was all deference and at- tentionâ€"all regret. too, for monsieur was just too late to hear the wonderful company of artists who had been sing- ing at La Scala. The season was but Just ended. Here was an opportunity missed. indeed. and Brewster’s vexa- tion brought out an ironical comment to Bertier. It rankled, but it had its effect. The courier proved equal to ! the emergency. Discovering that the manager of the cmnpany and the prin- cipal artists were still in Milan. he suggested to Brewster that a special performance would he very difficult to secure. but might stiil be possible. His chief caught at the idea and authorized him to make every arrangement. re- serving the entire house for his own party. --- - . ‘ A“- ., --A “But the place will look bare.” pro- tested the courier. aghast. "Fill it with flowers: cover it with tapestries." commanded Brewster. “I put the affair in your hands. and I trust you to carry it through in the right way. Show them how it ought to he done.” Bertier’s heart swelled within him at the thought of so glorious an opportu- nity. IIis fame, he felt. was already established in Italy. It became a mat- ter of pride to do the thing handsome- ly, and the necessary business arrange- ments called out all his unused re. sources of delicacy and diplomacy. When it came to the decoration of the opera house he called upon Pettingiil for assistance, and together they super- intended an arrangement which cur- tained of! a large part of the place and reduced it to liva‘uie proportions. With the flowers and the lights. the tapes- tries and the great faded flags. it be- came something quite different from the usual empty theater. the work had been rushed. and it was on the evening after their arrival in Milan that Brewster conducted his friends in state to the Scala. It was al- most a triumphal progress, for he had generously if unwittingly given the town the most princely sensation in years, and curiosity was abundant Mrs. Valentine. who was in the car- riage with Monty, wondered openly Why they were attracting so much at tention. “Perhaps they expected us to ride.or buffaloes." said Mrs. Dan. “with India: captives in our train.” “No.” Subway Smith protuted; “1 seem to see disappointment In their faces.

But Mrs. Dan was very sure. “My dear boy, you can't have things your own way every minute. In another month you will be quite spoiled. Any- thing to prevent that. My duty is plain. Even if I have to use heroic measures, you dine with me tomor- Monty recognized defeat when he met it and graciously accepted her very kind invitation. The next mo- ment they drew up at the opera house and were ushered in with a deference only accorded to wealth. The splendor of the effect was overpowering to Brewster as well as to his bewildered guests. Aladdin. it seemed, had fairly outdone himself. The wonder of it was so complete that it was some time before they could settle down to the opera, which was “Aida,” given with a}: eathusiasm that only Italians can compass. During the last intermission Brew- ster and Peggy were walking in the foyer. They had rarely spoken since the day of the ride, but Monty noticed with happiness that she had on several occasions avoided Pettingill. “I thought we had given up fairy- land when we left the lakes, but I be- lieve you carry it with you,” she said. “The trouble with tbis,”_ Monty re- plied, “is that there are too many'peo- ple about. My fairyland is to be just a little difierent.” “Your fairyland, Monty, will be built of gold and paved with silver. You will sit all day cutting coupons in an otfice of alabaster.” “Pegg, , do you, too. think me vul- gar? It‘s a beastly parade, I know, but it can't stop now. You don’t real- ize the momentum of the thing.” “You do it up to the handle,” she put in. “And you are much too generous to be vulgar. But it worries me, Mon- ty; it worries me desperately. It’s the future I‘m thinking ofâ€"your future, which is being swallowed up. This kind of thing can‘t go on. And what is to follow it? You are wasting your substance, and you are not making any life for yourself that opens out.” “Peggy,” he answered very seriously, “you have got to trust me. I can‘t back out, but I‘ll tell you thisâ€"you shall not be disappointed in me in the end." There was a mist before the girl’s eyes as she looked at him. “I believe you, Monty,” she said simply. "I shall not forget.” The curtain rose upon the next act, and something in the opera toward the end seemed to bring the two very close together. As they were leaving the theater there was a note of regret from Peggy. "It has been perfect,” she breathed, “yet. Monty. isn‘t it a waste that no one else should have seen it? Think of these poverty stricken peas- ants who adore music and have never heard an opera.” "Well, they shall hear one now.” Monty rose to it, but he felt like a hypocrite in concealing his chief mo- tive. "We‘ll repeat the performance tomorrow night and fill the house with them.” lie was as good as his word. Ber- ‘ tier was given a task the next day which was not to his taste. But with the assistance of the city authorities he carried it through. To them it was an evidence of insanity, but there was something princely about it, and they were tolerant. The manager of the op- era house was less complacent, and he had an exclamatory terror of the dam- age to his upholstery. But Brewster had discovered that in Italy gold is a panacea for all ills, and his prescrip- tions were liberal. To him the day was short, for Peggy’s interest in the penance, as it came to be called, was so keen that she insisted on having a hand in the preliminaries. There was something about the partnership that appealed to Monty. To her regret the DeMille dinner in- terfered with the opening of the pet‘-l tormance. but Monty consoled her with ' the promise that the opera and its democratic audience should follow. During the day Mrs. Dan had been deep in preparations for her banquet. but her plans were elaborately conceal- ed. They culminated at 8 o’clock in 1110 Cora. not far from the Scala. and “’9 dinner was eaten in the garden to the sound of music.

In a bum ox enthusiasm Subway Smith suggested a testimonial. Monty complained bitterly that he himself had never received a ghost oi a testimonial. He protested that it was not deserved. “Why should you expect it?" exclaim- ed Pettingill. “When have you risen from terrapin and artichokes to chops and chicory? When have you given us nectar and ambrosia like this?” , â€"_2..--.-‘ Monty was defeated by a unanimous vote, and Mrs. Dan’s testimonial was assured. This matter settled, Peggy and Mrs. Valentine, with Brewster and Pettingill, walked over to the Scala and heard again the last two acts of “Aida." But the audience was difler- ent, and the applause. The next day at noon the chauffeurs from Paris reported for duty, and five gleaming French devil wagons steamed of! through the crowd in the direction of Venice. Through Brescia and Verona and Vicenza~ they passed, scattering largess of silver in their wake and leaving a trail of breathless wonder. Brewster found the pace too fast, and by the time they reached Venice he had _-_ J]-_L a Wisâ€"tfâ€"ul longi'ng to take this radiant country more slowly. “But this is pure- v- â€"â€" 1y 9. business trip,” he thought, “and I can’t expect to enjoy it. Some day I’ll come back and do it ditferently. I could spend hours in a gondola if the blamed thing were not more expensive by the trip.” It was there that he was suddenly recalled to his duty from dreams of moonlight on the water by a cable- gram which demanded $324 before it could be read. It contained word for word the parable of the ten talents and ended with the simple word “Jones." Exception In Favor of Rats. They are very literal in Japan. Not long ago a bridge was built which was so slight that a notice was put up, “No animals allowed to cross.” But it was found impossible to keep the rats off it, and in order to have a rule which could be enforced the notice was taken down and “No large animals allowed to cross” was put up in its place. Contains the Alphabet. There is a verse in the Bible which contains every letter in the alphabet, and it is said there is only one such. It is the twenty-first verse of the sev- enth chapter of Ezra and reads, “And I, even I, Artaxerxes, the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the river that what- soever Ezra, the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall re- quire of you it be done speedily.” Qulte Saving. “1 wish I were a night watchman.” u 'hy?" “I could cheep all day and save my board and work all night and save my lodging.”- The Green Isle In Rich In These Ancient Landmarks. Ireland is rich in castles and ruins. One of the most ancient of these is the Grianan of Aileach, a min that stands on the heights above the Swilly and which was centuries ago the stronghold of the northern princes. IRELAN D’S RU I N ED CASTLES. Around this fort many battles were fought. Hosts swarmed over the ad- jacent hills or fled down the river, and in those deadly engagements scenes were enacted that often cast a gloom over the whole country and wrecked the social life of Erin. As England gained power she strove again and again to exert her influence over the sister isle, but warriors like Strongbow spurned a “foreign" su- premacy and when the battle went against them found a safe retreat in the bogs, the valleys and the hills of that lonely country, only to sally forth to avenge themselves anew upon their enemies. The rock of Cashel, Dunluce castle and many other spots were the centers of these fearful combats. The picturesque ruins of Sligo abbey. built by Maurice Fitzgerald in A. D. 1253, and the more imposing propor. tions of Donegal castle are silent wit- nesses of a progress that proceeded steadily in spite of these disturbances. Vital Heat of Vegetables. It will be a novel thought to many that not only animals. but vegetables also, generate a degree of heat by their life processes. It has been ob- served that the sap of healthy trees is not affected, as other liquids are, by frost; that the inner parts of fibrous plants are warmer than the air on cold days, and that snow melts more rapid- ly at the foot of living trees than around dead ones. Some vegetables of their own accord grow warmer un- til midday and then cool 01! again as the sun declines. The act of flowering has also been found to give rise to an increase of temperature. The stalk 0: an Italian arum may have a daily in- crease ot no less than 10% degrees, and the stalk or another plant has been knowntoheaswarmaslwdegreesl'.

He wanted to know why Jesus didn’t introduce the electric light, for instance. when He was here on earth, when He was such a very great Man. The reason is obvious. The world at that time was not ready for the electric light. All along the people have been furnished with the light that they could understand. First the torch. then the tallow dip, then the diEerent lamps, then gas and then electricity. The Creator has con- cealed his blessings from mankind till man was fit to use them properly. There’s Northern Ontario, as an example. We need no longer sneerl at the base Indian who cast a pearl} away more precious than all his tribe, nor pity the wretched Kaffirs whose children played with the shining peb- bles that were really priceless dia- monds. We did just as bad as that.

From two or three of the induStries Where unskilled labor is employed. comes the complaint that men are clubbing together and buying beer by the live gallon keg and larger guano tities and taking it out to ecluded spots and staying with the beverage until the supply is exhausted. and then tecuring another supply keep up the gluttonous denauch as long as they can carry the kegs and drink the contents. One contractor went down to where he had a gang of men em- : ployed one day last week only to find l the plant idle and the majority of his lmen up in a grove on the east hill drinking beer. One of the men made the statement that in two days five men had drank the contents of {our five gallon kegs. Saturday was pay day at the C. P. R and for a similar .reason it is alleged, only about fifty ’per cent. of the men on the pay roll turned up for work on Tuesday when there was three vessels to load. Other instances were given to The Times and in some circles an effort is being made to attach all the incon- venience to the passing of the local Option measure on the ground that l formerly with the open bar men drank ,individually and though often OE [work for any time from a day to a I week there was not the collective in- idulgence such as at present disturbs the equilibrium of the labor market. True or untrue the report may be. ’ but unfortunately there are few laws on the statute books which are per- fecc and local option is in this respecc Iat a disadvantage if it does not pre- gvent such practice. But even this lwill right itself or be righted. At 'present it is done largely with a view to discrediting the measure and this l was a looked for part of the program. The remedy that could be applied would be the refusal of employers to employ help guilty of such practices which only goes to prove the argu- ment that there is no econonic value in the manufacture, sale or use of in- toxicants. While if legal the prac- tice may be indulged in, now it sug- gests that legisiation ~in some form musc be provided that will check the T evil arising out of the defective clause ‘ in the act. Owen Sound’s experience may demonStrate the fact that legis- lation is necessary. In the mean- ! time the labor market must continue to be disturbed by the beer barrel in- novation unless the employers take steps to stop it.â€"O. S. Times. Take LAXATIVE BROMO QUI'NINE Tablets.
