He paused and sighed. "That is all, my dord. I will not insult these gentlemen," he waved his hand toward the jury, "by asking them to give no credence to the statement of the woman, Fanny Inchley. There are some lies which recoil, even as they are uttered, upon the lips which spawn them. _ Miss Deilaine has told you all she knows; it is all! You may have your doubts as to my innocence; you cannot have the shadow of a doubt of hers." There was a murmur of applause. The judge held up his hand. "Have you finished ?" he _ asked. solemnly, C fls d R The marquis made a motion of assenut. The sergeant sat looking hard at Gerald. The crowd grew restless in the moment or two of suspense; then it was known that some one was approaching the witâ€" ness box, and as Luigi was reâ€" cognized a thrill of excitement viâ€" brated through the people. The judge signed to the clerk to administer the oath; and Luigi, in a low. clear voice, and to the amazement of the marquis, gave an exact account of all of which he was cognizant on that aw{ful night, his tone perfectly steady until he described the scene between him and the marquis, in which the latter expressed his determination to sacâ€" rifice mmself, if need be, to save Elaine from even the suspicion of baving committed the crime. Then Luigi‘s voice faltered, and an anâ€" swering sob rose from Elaine‘s parched throat, and was echoed by every woman ln__ court. 3 4 g The sergeant rose but the jadge, motioned to him to remain seated. "Do you wish to give evidence ?" he asked. s â€" Luigi turned his sightless eyes toâ€" ward the bench.

"Lady Scott and her maid will prove that Miss Deâ€" laine lost the bottle of perfume from her room on the Thursday previoue." "It may have been some other scent," said the judge. Luigiâ€"«miled sadly. "My. lord, I am blind," ho said sigâ€" nificantly. "By Hoaven‘s law of comâ€" pensation, the blind man‘s senses of hearing and of touch and smell are more acute than those of his fellows who enjoy God‘s great boonâ€"sight! It was tho scent I have named. I have never smelt it before Miss Elaine‘s visit, and twice only since." "When?" asked the judge, amid an intense silence. . _"The woman who stole that letter stole that scent and it is she who should stand there, and not the Marquis of Nairne!" and he ‘llltted his hand and pointed to the ock. A roar, sharp and swilt, like the sudden bay of hounds, rose [rom the crowd. The wsher shouted for silence; the policemen pushed the excited mass this way and that ; an indesâ€" cribable scene of confusion ensued; and in its midst stood the marquis, calm and composed again, his eyes fixed on (Elabne, as if he saw her and her only. 6. "In the whole course of my experâ€" ience," he said, gravely, "I have nevâ€" er known a more intricate and comâ€" plex case ; but it is my duty to ask a verdict from the jury. For now, mark, we have the motive for the crime. Who can doubt that the priâ€" soner, maddened by the loss of the woman he loved, slew the man who had separated her from him? For the evidence of the witness, Fanny Inchley, I care nothing. . What she said she has said to _ screen herself and _ actuated by spite. To Luigi ZLanti‘s far fetched theory I attach no value. Whether it was Miss Delaine or Fanny Inchley who passed him in the shrubbery is of little consequence. The person who dealt that fatal blow must have been the prisoner in the dock, for it was he alone who could have desired the death of the man he confesses he reâ€" garded as nis rival and the destroyer of his happiness ; the man who had revealed the secret of the former marriage." * ; d "No, my lord. No!" responded Luigi promptly. "One was the deâ€" teciive who has charge of this case against my dear, dear friend. He shall say whether he used the newâ€" mown hay. The other was Gerald Locke; it was not his handkerchief that bore the scent. I borrowed it of himâ€"it is here," and he drew it from his potket. Silence was at lagt restored, then the sergeant rose. In a masterly speecit he used every word that had been said as so much evidence againet the marquis. Gerald Locke started; the crowd stirred exoitedly. In rapid tones Luigi described the ecene. "Nay, when the perfume was waftâ€" ed toward me it came like a reveâ€" lation. The woman whose handkerâ€" chief was perfumed with the newâ€" motwn hay was the woman who had rushed past me that night, who had dropped the dagger which the marâ€" quis picked up!

Intense sllonce for a moment, then the judge said, slowly, solâ€" emnly : 4 t "Do you forget that there were two other persons standing beside bher when you noticed the scent ?" "It was passod to the jury and the judge. Point by point he went over the evidence against the marquis, and as he proceeded the silence grew more intense, and as he sat down a sound like a moan rose from the crowd. Gerald Locke was white with reâ€" pressed emotion when he got up. "I call no witnesses, my lord," he said. "I have no speech to make. The witnesses have spoken for me. I do not call Lady Scott to grove that the botile of scent was missingâ€"stolen ; that Miss Delaine had not used it for days previous to the fatal one. I have not to delend her innocence; no one doubts it," and as he raised his voice a murmur o{f appiause broke from the crowd. "It is for my client, the prisâ€" oner, I alone am concerned. Had I ever for a moment doubted his innoâ€" cence of the crime with which he is charged, the evidence would have disâ€" pelleu that doubt from my breast, as it must have dispelled it from yours.

A shriek rose as the last words dropped from his stern lips, and Lady Blanche was carried out of the "Two days ago, my lord, when Fanny Inchley stood talking to Mr. Locke, Mr. Saunders and myself in the shrubbery.‘ tal He sank back, and the judge began to arrange his notes. "The summing up will do it," imutâ€" tered one lawyer to another. The summing up was over. The jury left the box ; the judge rose slowly and wearily, and passed through the door at the back of the bench ; the bhum and buzs of the crowd {ollowed the «ilence in which every word of the judge‘s had beaen listened to. _ _ t A warder touched the marquis on the shoulser. He turn>d, and as he did so looked toward Elaine. She rose, trembling in every limb, and stretchâ€" cheek on her hand, blushed and ‘*"RHKEUMATISM® CURED. _ Treated Through the Blood.

There is a prevalent noâ€" tion also, that if a person once conâ€" tracts rheumatism it is bound _ to return in cold or damp weather. This is a mistake. Rheumatism can be thoroughly driven out of the sysâ€" tem, but it must be treated through the blood, as it is a blood disease. Rubbing the i#ffected joints and limbs with liniments and lotions will never cure rheumatism, though petâ€" haps it may give temporary relief.

Guilty or not guilty! The words fell on Elaine‘s tortured ears, rang on her aching heart. $ The foreman rose. ‘"Not guilty, my lord." A cheer that seemed to shake the wormâ€"eaten timbers of the old court house rose from the parched throats, a cheer which drowned the words in which the judge calmly told the marquis that he was a prisoner no longer, but a free man; which drowned the faint cry which leaped from Elaine‘s white lips, as she rose with outstretched hands. ‘"The jury ! No !" he uttered hoarseâ€" ly. "I‘m waiting forâ€"â€"*" He stopped. The sergeant smiled grimly. "It seems to me you have been waiting for something all through the casme," he said, sarcastically. Saunders glanced up at him. "That‘s true enough," he retorted. "But don‘t you be hard, Mr. Leslie. You‘ve never had such a case as this tefore." The marquis stood for a moment as if bewildered ; then he sprang over the dock and seemed about to rush to Elaine; then he stopped, as if some bitter memory had arrested him, and the next moment he was surrounded by the crowd making wild dashes for his band, and, failing that, excited attempts to touch him, as if words were powerless to convey their delirious joy and satisfaction.

ONTARIO aARCHIVES ~*~*= TORONTO VEGETABLES AND FLOWERS Care in Growing and Selection of Scedsâ€" TESTS OFf SOME COMMON SEEDS For many years all the seeds used in this country were European grown, although as early as 1785 some attention was given to their growth in the United States. In that country the trade grew, steadâ€" lly until about 1860, when, owing to the interruption in trade due to the civil war, people began to look for a home enppiy and home producâ€" tion was greatly stimulated as a reâ€" gult. The increased demand encourâ€" aged growers to produce reliable sceds and kinds suited to all conâ€" ditions of growth. A fair trial of humeâ€"grown seeds convinced people that they were as satisfactory as lImported stocks, and in some cases gare better results. In 1879 there was estimated to be 7,000 acres deâ€" voted to the production of garden seeds, but at that time the California seed trade was but beginning, and since then it has grown to enorâ€" mous proportions. _ _ The labor involved is a serious objection to the homeâ€"growing of seed, which is practised by some gardeners. Very frequently, too, the quality of seed produced is inferior to that grown by professionals, unless proper precautions are taken. ‘The greatest dangers encountered are the crossing of varieties and deteâ€" rioration of stock. To obviate the first difficulty small growers will Iind it necessary to grow only one variety of any one species ; to overâ€" come the second, constant care in selection wi‘! be required. Only those plaonts which are vigorous and apâ€" proach the ideal conformation for that variety should be allowed to ripen their seed. Vigor of growth and productiveness in individual plants are qualities that are transmitted from one generation of plants to the next, so that it is unwise to allow any but the most desirable plants to mature. Turnips and radishes that are not suitable for table use are much less suitable for seed producâ€" tion. Not all the seed of even the best plants should be sown, as there are invariably present small and thrivelled soeds, and only the large, plump seeds should be used. By folâ€" lowing this system of selection a gardener may sot only maintain but constantly improve a variety, but if he is not willing to exercise such care ho would do much better to prchase his seed from a reliable seedsman. It should be unnecessary to urge upon the growers of garden crope the importance of using thoroughly reâ€" liable seed, or to defend the pracâ€" tice of testing seeds before sewing them. > Much of the work in connection with the growing has to be done &y hand, so that labor is an importâ€" ant consideration. The system of "rogueing" practised by all reliâ€" able growers is necessary in order to maintain the type, and consists of removing by hand all plants that deviate from the required standard. Cultivating, â€" harvesting, threshing and cleaning are largely hand operâ€" ations. There is no guesswork about the results obtainable from Dr. Chase‘s Ointment. . While it is true that to secure genuine garden seeds is a more imâ€" portant consideration than to have seeds that show a high vitality, it is evident that a person sowing seeds ehould know _ approximately whiat per cent. were likely to grow. In order to obtain some definite information in regard to the qualâ€" Ity of our vegetable and flower seeds, the seed division of the Deâ€" partment of Agriculture collected upwards of five hundred samples and tested them for vitality. ‘The samples are secured at about twenty different points in the Doâ€" minion, and were considered repreâ€" sentative of the seeds on sale. About one hundred of the packages bough‘t _ were of seeds held over from last year. ‘The most approved method was used in making the tests, two hundred seeds being used for each single test and each beâ€" ing conducted in duplicate. Where the number of seeds in the packâ€" age would not permit of this, all thio seeds were used. Tke following table gives a sumâ€" mary of teste of a few of the common With all medicines taken internalâ€" ly: there is more or less uncertainty, as to the effect, because the condiâ€" tion may not be exactly as indicated by the symptoms, but if you have a sore or wound and apply Dr. Chase‘s Ointment and beal it you can see wlith your own eyes the definite reâ€" gults. 6 Beed. _ No. of Tests, Min.

The samples of extremely low vitality doubtless were principally old seed held over from year to year. Some kinds of seed depreciate in value very rapidly and in a fow years are valâ€" ueless, so that the practice of some seedsmen of leaving seed packages in the hands of retailers year after year cannot be commended. a It is important that a buyer of seeds should know at least approxiâ€" mately what per cent. is vital, but owing to tho limited amount of seed, It is impossible for him to make a test. The case is different with the wholesale dealer, who has seed im bulk, and should know within at least five or ten per cent. the viâ€" tality of the seeds he handles. To stamp the vitality on each paohg would entail some little trouble seedsmen, but not necessarily any riek, as no objection could be raised to a reasonable margin. Such a pracâ€" tice would be of inestimable benefit to the users of the seed. Yours very truly, /4 W. A.
