a€ _On the Monday morning, quite a gay little cavalcade set forth from Hidden House, at an early hour, in order to be in goO don Gorse "GaTt'i}I}' rode the chestnut, he had mounted Dulcie upon his second horse, a plainâ€"looking bay, whoss somewhat nngw'mly appearance was compensated for by his clever performances in the field. Miles was on a weedyâ€"looking old crock, hired from the livéry stables at Lilmins:er, a thin, rakish thoroughâ€" bred an‘mal, now showing decided s.ins of age and overâ€"work, whilst Ange!l was gr the first time mounted upon The oor. s A " southerly wind and‘a cloudy sky,‘ ° gave promise of all that the hearts of sportsmen can desire, and the little p\;'y set fogh‘in the bes; of spirits. _ Geoffrey had‘returmed/ .from t@wn late on :&!urday night, hiving spent . two days in negotiations, and interâ€"| views with both his senior partners. There had been, of course, what Dulcie called " A Row." Mr. Halliday ran his hands despairingly through his white~; hair and began by swearing by all his gods that nothingâ€"no, nothing !â€" would ever make him consent +o such ; a beggarly marriage for his daughâ€" ter, but after long persuasion and many words he finally dissolved into tears, !, declared himself to be a imiserable, | brokenâ€"down old man, whose daughter ‘ had deceived and defied him ; in apite| of whick statements. he was induced at | _ But it is a serious matter to Miles," urged Geoffrey, " he is engaged to my sisterâ€"inâ€"law, and if he is to be left. in the lurchâ€"â€"â€"*" **Whoever said he was going to be left in the lurch ?" interrupted the old min, testily. " You come and dine toâ€" night, Geoffrey, and we will have a bottle of the ‘47 port." ‘‘I gan‘t come and dine, sir, with an easy mind, unless you will make me some sort of a promise." ‘‘I ain‘t going to make any sort of promise t Tut, tut; how these boys do irritate me!" He spoke, angrily, but Geoffrey could see very plainly that be was not angry at allâ€"he was only pretending to be. He could make nothâ€" ing of him. ~ hi ‘Then Geoffrey tackled his uncle. He found the old man in a strangely mysâ€" terious mood. He would reveal nothâ€" ing ; he would promise nothing. He reâ€" fused to give any reasons for his senâ€" tence upon Miles, at the same time he treated the matter airily, and declined to see anything serious in it. _ h of whick statements, he was induced at last to admit that if his semior partâ€" ner. would take Miles back again and make things generally easy for him, he did not see how he was to hold out any longer. « o s Eventualiy, he did, as he was asked, go and dine at Cromwell Road, and the three partners, the two old men and the young one, discussed a couple of bottles of the famous ‘47 vintage beâ€" tween them; and whether it was oOwâ€" ing to the warming effects of that generous fluid, or to the extreme meekâ€" ness and depression of Joseph Halliâ€" dayâ€"a state of mind in him which alâ€" ways filled the soul of his chisf with a fiendish delightâ€"or whether Mrs. Daine contributed to it by an exhibiâ€" tion of extra tearfulness and nervousâ€" nâ€"ss, due, no doubt, to a secret knowâ€" ledge of the subject under discussion, or whether, perhaps, more than all else, it was not owing to the presence at his table of the only creature on earth who had ever got at that small shrivâ€" elled thing which physiologists would have called Matthew Dane‘s heart, and the sight of the earnest brown eyes which had been able, occasionally, to lefy and withstand him, and the rare flashing smile which always hbad an indeseribable influence upon himâ€"wheâ€" ther all this it was, which produced the muchâ€"toâ€"beâ€"degired effect, I am unable rightly to determine; but certain it is, <that Matthew Dane insensibly thawâ€" ed and softened, and that when dinâ€" ner was over and the servants had left the room, and his wife at the sign of an imperious nod from her spouse had also hastily retired, the old man sudâ€" denly delivered himself of the followâ€" ing remarks: ) the room, 3 an imperiov also hastily denly deliv ing remark " Well, H pigâ€"headed upon havin like people less they c this young married An you know, shall ; she‘s thing, and ways come other girl vixen, I fa better let if she‘s set **I don‘t : on," here ir with a mis " Well, Halhday, 1 understand that pigâ€"hsaded little girl of yours insists upon having ber own way. I rather like people who go there own way unâ€" less they cross mine, you know, like this young scoundrel herse, who has moarried Angel. I like Angel the best, you know, I always did, and always shal!l : she‘s better looking for one thing, and she and Geoffrey will alâ€" ways come first with me. As to this ways come first with me. As to this oth=r girl of yours, she‘s a bit of a vixeon, I fancy, but I thiak you had better let her marry Miles Faulkner if she‘s set upon it "* ‘‘I don‘t see what they are to marry on," here interpolated Joseph Haliliday, with a miserable and rueful expresâ€" sion of countenance, that was not perâ€" haps guiltless of acertain cunning asâ€" sumntion. { " No, I daresay you don‘t," replied old Dane rather crosslg, " but then, you sea, I do !~ " You will take him back, sir ?" creid Geoffrey, eagerly. "Pooh! pooh!! How can I take him back, you young donkey ! when I‘ve just sent him away, and when Trichet is hardly out of the country? I am not such x fookP"® : . .. â€".â€" & " Then it was that despicable hound!" cried Geoffrey, excitedly. H‘s uncle laid his fniger against his nose and there was a sort of twink!le in his eye. No man on earth, for certain, hated Albert Trichet with a more deadly hatred than ha did, but knowâ€" ing that which he had plotted and arâ€" ranged, he was the last person in the world who would have given expression to that hatred. " Albert Trichet is, my dear nephew, a faithfal and valued servant. I have a high opinion of Albert Trichet‘s talâ€" en‘sâ€"here is to his prosperous voyage to America," and he raised his glass to his ligs, then suddenly, as he set it downs again upon the table, his manner chnn'x. " No, I cannot take Milas Faulkner back, and the hundred and twenty pounds a year he has lost with his place would neither make nor mend him. But I am thinking, Halliday. that we want a manager badly at Lyons, the business there has been very slack lstely, that fellow Dupres is no good @®rmtevar: he blunders over evâ€" CHAPTER XXXVIIL, time at the meet at Wilâ€" matter to Miles," s engaged to my he is to be left ce A t Nlags i Whecs. cs c90 tm t Aprmo it P l nA Ne > 4 &A & e |orythingâ€"a foreman hbas not We!ZNDt enough either, we want a managet.

It will be imagâ€" Out of complimenmt to this fime* ofd English gentleman, who paid his fitâ€" ty pounds subscription, and was as keen a preserver of foxes as a hunting neighbourhood could desire, the, meAt at Weldon was an amost monthly 0C= currence: and Lady Weldon invariably gave a hunt breakfast on these 0Ccaâ€" siong, presiding hberself, in her snowâ€" white bair, draped with a black lace Mantitha at Th« tow‘of the table, in white bair, draped with a black lace Mantilla. at ‘the top ‘of the table, in the longâ€"banqueting hall, where an amâ€" ple repast, open to all comers, was.al~ ways laid out. When the party from Hidden House arrived upon the scene, this feast was at an end, and the redâ€"coats were imustering thickly in the tangled holâ€" low that lay between the simooth green glades of the park on the one side, and the opean heath country, beyond the boundaries of the property, on the othâ€" er. ‘â€"It would be impossible to conceive a more charming picture as the horseâ€" men came riding down from the house in twos and threes under the fine old elm trees of the park, the clear, blueâ€"~ grey of the atmosphere making a softâ€" ened background to the sleek, shining coats of the horses, and the brilliant flashes of scarlet flecking the glade with moving points of flame until they united in a mass beneath the shelter of the little wood, beneath which the !l()undpâ€"qg low, level packâ€"were (*10&0!): kept in hand by the bunitsman, and made together a dash of speckled white against the red earth of the bank beâ€" hind them. Very soon, in that nevetrâ€" failing covert, which, within the memâ€" ory of man, had seldom baen known to be drawn blank, a fine fox had been found, and the whole field, an unusuâ€" ally large one for Hilfshire. made as speedily as possible for the widely opened park gates close at hand. Of that run, of how straightly ran the fox, of how gallantly pursued the hounds of what fences were negotiatâ€" ed, of who fell, and who wa‘s in at the death, I do not propose to write in detail. Arse not these things inscribed in the annals of Hillshire Hunt? All that I intend to do now is to describe the career of one particular horse. of one particular rider. The horse is The Moorâ€"the rider, Angel Dane. This was the signal for his rebelllon. He took the fence safely indeed, but with a sort of fury, and at a place of his own selection, not hers; and upon alighting at the further side of it, got down his head, shot off wildâ€" ly at a terrific pace, past Geoffrey, who was hanging back a little to see what had become of him. In short, he fairly boilted, and Angel entirely lost all control over him. * She did not despair for some time of regaining her ho!d upon him, for he took the next two fences well and easâ€" ily, but the second one having landed him into a !ane, The Moor, with apparâ€" ently no further ambition to distinâ€" guish himself in the field, turned short off to the right, and, leaving the hunt far behind, galloped madly down it in a mingled condition of rage and exâ€" citement, which proved far beyond her weakening strength to restrain. S Of that headlong flight, Angel in afterâ€"days, remembered but little; fields, trees, houses, flew by her in lightningâ€"like confusion; ber brain reeled and whirled with the rush of the air, and with the hopeless bewildâ€" erment of her position. Faintly now ind thon she heard the thud, thud, of another horse behind her. that told her that Geoffrey was probably foilowing her. This was, however, but dimiy borne in upon her mind. On‘iy two things, indeed, remained with a vivid consciousn>ss before herâ€"one was her own fastâ€"fuiling strength, and the other a vague horror of a terrible, imâ€" pending doom which must inevitably lie before herâ€"the almost certainty of a violent death. Soon this idea was the only one left in her mindâ€"shes saw nothing, heard nothing, thought of nothing eise. It seemed to her that her whole life came up again before herâ€"all her childish sing, all her woâ€" man‘s weaknesses, small things passed by and unrepented of, words spoken long ago and forgottenâ€"all stood out ‘with a fearful and supernatural disâ€" tinciness out of the rush of everâ€"deepâ€" lening darkness that seemed to be closâ€" ing in about her on every side. _ She never even saw a tall figure that br he was welcomed, pturous thanks he No wonder that the bas not weight rose up suddenly before her in the way â€"never heard the shout of warning in ber path, or felt the sudden swerve that carried The Moor right from one side of the road to the other. Then allat once came a shock and a crash! and Angel was shot over The Moor‘s head right on to the grass by the road; sxde. a.::i. l::-x.e;:. ‘;l;a‘i-era;fd â€" bruised and battered as she was, that she was alive, and that she was saved | Rosgs de Brefour had been leaning upon a stile leading from the field inâ€" to the road ; she was not far from her own little house, and had sauntered out for an afternoon walk. She carriâ€" ed a book in her hands, which she had been reading, although she was not reading it now, and, curiously enough the book.was a novel. It was not usual for her to read novels. She shrank perhaps a little from records of human love and human happfness, since love and bapn‘n‘<s were forever forbidien to her. Someâ€" tim»s, indeed, it gave ber a dull, achâ€" ing ‘psin to dwe.i on ‘these suao}.c.8, soâ€" that wisely site seldom opened books of fiction. The book she had: been reading toâ€"day, bhowever, was One which holds its undying sway alike over every man and woman to whom English literature is dear. A book so grind, so p®#eérful, and so enthralling that it may well deserve to be reckonâ€" ed amongst Lhe\?;irll. if indeed, not the very first itse‘f, of all the novels _pf English . literature. This book _ Was "Jane Eype.‘. Rose had just finished it, and as she leant across the stile, with her ; fingers: loosely slipped amongst its pages, she was (thinking deep‘ly upon the strong, passionale story ;of man‘s rebelliqus love, of woâ€" mn‘s purity and devotion. Thai love, so cufsed eifdâ€"so restrained, so held back by every consideration, human and divine, had, notwithstanding all, had is the end its earthly reward and completion. . The piciure. of | blind RocKester, soothed in his eternal darkâ€" ness by â€"the:love of the woman who comes to lay ber life upon, his sufierâ€" ing heart, is beautiful and touching in the extreme ; but Rose de Brefour, whilst she acknoowledged the poetry of it, to‘d herself that it was not true to life, > Those who have loved in vain avse not thus appropriaiely unitedâ€"no miracle is worked for themâ€"noâ€" providence inâ€" tervenes to bring ‘{hem â€" together, Heartâ€"broken they partâ€"and heartâ€" broken forever they remain apartâ€" only that love grows colder and dimâ€" mer, and passion becomes silent, when Time with his healing touch has deadâ€" ened all under an everâ€"thickening pall of insensibility. And as she stood thinking of itâ€"of the mystery and tiddle of life, of how all toil and struggle for happiness, and of how few gain the prizeâ€"there came upony her a great weariness of soulâ€"a great desire for that ‘"long rest" wherein the probilems of life shall perâ€" plex us no more, and all its sadness be hushed forever in the great sieep which nothing.earthly can break or disturb, â€" Then far, far away, upon hber ears there broke a distant sound thatâ€"as shs took hoed of it and listened, at first balfâ€"unconsciously, then with a rapidâ€" |yâ€"increasing interestâ€"seemed to grow nearer and nearer to her at every secâ€" ond. It was a sound that once beard is never forgottenâ€"a dull, regular reâ€" iterating sound, muffled yet ringing â€"the sound of a runaway horse. _ _ Keenly alive all at once to what this might mean, and what catastrophe it might chance to foreshadow, Rose sprang eagerly over the stile, and strained her eyes with a strange new sense of excitemeut towards the quarâ€" ter whence these ominous sounds were now approaching her with lightningâ€" like rapidity. All at once she saw it, far away in the distance. The wildly galloping horse and the paleâ€"faced rider, coming onwards, ever at that awful paceâ€" soon she was able to distinguish the set features, the wideâ€"opened grey eyes, the white parted lips, the pantâ€" ing bosom and labouring breath, the dishevelled hair flying back upon the rushing wind. One quick shock of reâ€" cognition struck through her very soulâ€" It was Geoffrey‘s wife l There came no fixed or distinct idea into her mindâ€"no swiftlyâ€"formed inâ€" tention, no debating with herself as to what she was going to do or how she was going to do it. Those glorious martyrs, who, from the world‘s foundâ€" ation, to its close, have given, and will give, their lives to save those of othâ€" ers, are not prone, I reckon, to reason about what they do. One grand and splendid instinct is theirsâ€"one Godâ€" like impulseâ€"one unhesitating â€"rush towards the Death that surely crowns them with an everlasting crown. So Rose de Brefour sprang forward to hor certain destruction with all the great enthusiasm of superhuman seifâ€" sacrifice burning in her sou!. A rush across the road, a frantic snatch at the bridle of the maddened animalâ€"a wild jerk with all the strength of her woman‘s armsâ€"and the deed is nccomplished. _ Angel is saved, and The Moor, pitching heavily forward and dragging her down with him in the burricane vehemence of his fall, plants both his knees with the whole force of his weight upon her chest and ro‘ls over the prostrate form stretched before him upon the ground, till the delicate body is crushed, and the woman‘s life is stamped out, and the noble heart is silenced and stilled for evermore. She had died so that he might live to forget herl That had been her prayer, and the Great God had bheard and granted it. Geoffrey Dane lived, and although bhe mever forgot, yet in process of time be jlearned to be happy. c k Th & m During the long weeks of nervous prostration, which for Ange!l Dane folâ€" lowed upon that terrible day, Geoffrey watched over his suffering wife with all the tenderness of a mother. Halfâ€" distracted by his own unutterable grief, he yet learned to silence his own sorrow in order to soothe and comfort ber ; and when she was strong enough to hear his confession he laid bare all his hbeart to ber, knowing that in Death, Ange! would forgive the woman he had loved and who had died to save her. And so time went on, and the gaping wound, that was such an agony at first, closed up, and became in a fashâ€" ion healed. And one day a little Matihew Dane came into this world o~f trouble and brought a great deal of imppiness and pleasure along with him, not only to TORONTO his parents, but to a certain grim, old } gentlieman, now well stricken in years,. who has taken to read his Bible and repenting bim of his sins, since the death of his wife and his own fastâ€"lailâ€" mf health. n truth, since the day that he broke the sad news to his partnels and clerks that poor Albert Trichet bad died of swamp fever in South America, the old tyrant hbad never been quite h‘ mself again. â€" Conscience sometimes wakes up in an unaccountable fashion; and now and then, although human justice fails to detect a crime, the sinâ€" ner himself is brought to a due sense of it by gentles: and more merciful _methods. Geoffrey and Angel live with this old mana now in the great bouse in Cromwell Road, and Hidden House has been sold again, and strangetrs sit in the long,.low library where Geoffrey Dane once long ago told his love in th> gloaming ° Hour ‘to the beautiful : LOus qo olsc s | _ If the House of Commons passes any :hill which the Senate rejects or fails to pass or amends in a way not accepted by .the House of Commons, then, if the ‘House of Commons at the next followâ€" |\ing session again passes such bill and \the Senate again rejects or fails to pass lor amends the same in a way not acâ€" \cepted by the House of Commons, the ‘\Governorâ€"General may, by, proclmaâ€" |tion, convene one or more joint sittings ‘of the members of the two houses for !the further consideration of such bill \or amendments and a question whether ‘such bill or amendments shall pass shall be decided by a majority of the members of the iwo houses present and voting, and the vote of any such joint sitting shall, as respects such bill or amendments, have tne same force and effect as a vote of the Senate unâ€" der the exisiing constitution.

IVES. Sir Charles Tupper referred to the sudden and sad demise of the Hon,. W. B. Ives, in whom the House had lost one of its ablest members, a man who, as a lawyer, a business man, a legislater and an administrator of a public deâ€" partment had snown himself energetic and capable. His loss would be great indeed to his party, and the â€" event tended to impress the lesson how frail and slight is the tenure by which we hold our position here. He was aware that the government would have conâ€" sented to an adjournment of the House to mark this deplorable event had it not been for the position of public business and the time of the session. He was well aware that members on both sides would join in an expression _ of sympathy to the family of the late Mr. Ives, as well as to the family of the late Senator Sanford. The Prime Minister joined in Sir Chailes‘s expression as to the loss which parliament had sustained in the sudden deaths of the late Mr. Ives and of the late Senator Sanford. _ Mr. Ives was a genilem :n with whom he had formed an acquaintance and friendship as a strugâ€" gling young lawyer visiting the same circuits,. He was a man who, from an intimate acquaintance with finances, business, agricuiture and mining, was able to speak on these matters with the authority of an expert, He willingly Sfibscribed to this expression of sympaâ€" thy, PRESERVATION OF EMPLOYEES HEALTH. _ The Prime Minister proposed the secâ€" _ond reading of his bili for the preservaâ€" tion of the health of employees on pubâ€" lie works. The measure was one which the government had largely been inâ€" duced to bring in through the revelaâ€" tions made by the receut commission into the state of health of men emâ€" ployed on the construction of the Crow‘s Nest Pass Railway and would apply to all public works under the Jjurisdiction of parliament.

His object in moving this amendment was to give shippers a right, to prevent the transâ€" fer of their pruper(y' without their consent. ‘He looked upon the bill as a combine of the worst kind. The amendment would not be objectionable in any way, and would remove what he considered a hideous feature of the bargain. _ A . division took _ place and the bill was passed, and the amendment lost on a vote of thirâ€" tyâ€"three yeas to iinrieen nays. The Secretary of State then moved the third reading of the Drummond County Railway bill. Tho Hon.

Mr. Mills spoke in favor of the bill at some length. _ While sgeaking on the consiitutionality of the bill, Mr. Mills was interrupted by Sir Mackenzie Bowell, who asked if the Government would refer the quesâ€" tion to the courts for determination. prnclumation of the Governorâ€"General, The amendment was adopted, and on the third reading Senator DeBoucherâ€" ville moved a six months‘ boist, urgâ€" ing that the government could, if it wished, take the Grand Trunk road via Richmond to get into Montreal. The House again divided, the amendâ€" menit! for a hoist being lost on a vole of thirtyâ€"five nays to sixteen yeas. chieftain, and thougzht no more foreign ore should be recognized by the bounty than is actually necessary for mixing with our own Canadian ores.
