K Never had Lady Chevenix felt so hrmbled ; even her magnificent carâ€" rlage seemed to have grown emall and insignificant when she returnâ€" »d to it; while the very servants seemed to know tlat she had been treated with scorn and contumely. she had hbhoped to have heard someâ€" thing of Felix and Evelyn, but if Eve would not see her, why there was an end of it. 1 She had not encountered her old lover once. She wished very much to see him. Why should they not be friends ? _ She had no desire for anythinz more than the most comâ€" mon form of frilendsh‘p She rememâ€" bered his bright, sunny temper, his sweet smile, his wonderful good .r.mor, his cheerful presence. She felt that it would ba a comfort and i pleasure to see him at times afâ€" ter the surllen sllence that often lasted for days to hear, a few bright words. She found â€" herseli often wonderiIng@g when and where she shourld meet him again. At last the time came. Lady Maudo Brambor had been abâ€" sont from home for some few days, and during that time the earl had sent out invitations for a dinner» party. If he and his countess had heard anything of the love story of Felix and Violiet, they had completely forgottem it.

Lady Maude, to whom Fclix had revealed his loveâ€"story, «d not return until the Say of the dinâ€" nerâ€"party, and then it was too lato to sond a note or message anywhere. "They must moet some time," she "‘They must moet some time," she saidl to hersolf, in dismay ; "perhaps It wili b> beiter here than «lsewhere. I shall bo at hand to help him if ho requires help." She said nothing to any one, but awaited the course of events. ‘The dinner was given in bonor of Lord Rayden, a great statesman, who â€" was â€" visiting the earl, and Lord Arlington was both pleased and proud to introduce his young and gifted protege to his friend. _ Col.

As Perbaps in all her life Lady Chevâ€" »nix hbad never felt so hbumiliated. Phere was no poiite disguise about the remark, no conventional veil. ‘She had jilted their best friend, and they did not care to know her.‘" Even Evelyn cried out in wonder when she heard what her aunt had said. "Folix is a host in himscelf," the earl would say, laughingly. He had not the faintest idea, when ho sent out his invitations of having "There is no keeping people inâ€" doors on these fine summer nights," said the earl, "so we may as well boe prepared to spend the evening outâ€"of«tipors." e Felix to tell him who were to be present, but there was not time. sho resolved to Aress early and wait for â€" him. He â€" should not be seen to disadvantage. She knew that ho was coming early ; he hbad some papers that her father wished to se ; and they had arrangâ€" ed it #o. Pn o9 ENE V CCC ECC CR EC OE Thore was a Wwarm friendship beâ€" tween the two. Felix would have done anything fa tho work for the noble, boautiiui woman who had ecemed to him like an angel of comâ€" fort in the darkost hour of his life ; ho had the greatest reverence, the groatest estcem for her ; he knew that ho owe! all his good fortune to hor kinoly bailuence with the earl. And Lody Maudeo was very ford of him. She watchod this career with price and hope ; she had a feeling alâ€" most . of proprl.:«tox_'shjp in him ; b‘.xt No haliâ€"truths for me," said that .ncomprising lady. "If every one told the truth this would be a difâ€" lerent world." Lady Maude looked at him, she thought to horself that there could not be a finer, handsomer or nobler looking man in England t!mn ho was. It was a warm day, and the greon shade of the foliage all about Bramâ€" ber Towers was cool and inviting. The dinner hour was fixed for 7. Lady Maude only hoped the erenâ€" ing would pass as pleasantly . as her father seemed to anticipate. She alone knew, what rival interâ€" ests would be at play. She would have been better pleased had there been time to send a message to for her he might have gone to the | brd.

And once more the two who had parted so tragically stood face to face. CHAPTER XXXI Once more Violet and Felix Lonsâ€" dale stood face to face. They looked ut each other for a moment in silâ€" ence. To Felix there came back, with a keen, bitter pair, the memâ€" ory of his passionate farewell; to Violet there came the sudden, keen conviction that she was looking at the face of the only man slhe bhad ever cared for. Violet wore one of the triumphs of art that she had brought with her from Paris, and nuthing could have been devised to enchance her loveliness more. Her dress was comâ€" posed of some naleâ€"green fabric, soft and shining, covered with clouds of «white face looped up with@<»waterâ€" tilies, and in her golden hair negtled a lovely drooping wn.tt‘r-lil% _ Rhe wore a parure of diamords and emâ€" eralds. Her white shoulders and well, molded arms helped to compose a picture that no _ man could | have seen without feeling his heart beat the quicker for it. Lord Ariington went forward to meet her. Like a foil to her bright and radiant loveliness her darkâ€"browâ€" ed kusband stood by her side. ( Lady Cheverix did not notlce Lady Maude Bramber leave his side and go up to her. When she had exâ€" t'lnn{rgn(l a few words with her shd said & "You are right," â€" said Felix to Lady Maude. "She is a thousand times more beantifual." 8 she saw his hand tremble. She talkâ€" ed on that ho might have time to recover himself. "I would kave prevented it, had it been possibe, but it was not. You have never seen her since her marriage; and I am told that she has grown doubly beautiful. Still, i you do not feel equal to meetâ€" ing her, you shall not." â€". <= _ Maude, earnestly. "And will keep so," he repeated. Then the countess joined them, and presently one or two more entercq the room. , She saw the great effort that he made to recover‘ himselfi. He sucâ€" ceeded ; the color retuened to his face; he stilled the trembling of his hands; he smiled as he answered her : "Look," said Lady Maude, as she touched Felix‘s arm gently. He looked in the direction indicatâ€" ed and beheld Violet, so changed from the lovely laughing girl who had kissed him and quarrelled with him twenty times in an hour that he hardly recognized her. This was an imporially beautifual woman, on whose white breast and white arms shonae jewels worth a king‘s ransomâ€"a woman whose face was so peerlessly lovely that it dazzled one as did the light of the sun. f s $ "You are so good to me, Lady Maude, that I am at a loss how to thank you for giving mo this warning. I needed it. 1f I had met Lady Chevenix suddenly I should have been â€" terribly â€" embarrassed ; now. I am master of myself." "And â€" will keep so?" said Lady Lady Maude Arlington, much as she disliked the brilliant young beauty, felt pleased, after bringing the two together, that she had screened â€" Lady Chevenix from obâ€" servation, for she trembled ; _ her {face flusked crimson and then grew white. q t s Felix was the first to speak. Ho did not hold out his hand in greetâ€" lng ; he simply bowed and murmured some few commonplace words. € "I am very pleased to see you," said Lady Chevenix, and he words bad a ring of truth that touched both listeners. § They sat all three round one of the pretty little tables that were covered with pictures and books., Lady Chevenix turned to Felix again. â€""I should like to see your father and Mrs. Lonsdale," she said. "Aro they well?"" _ NE :9 e "HMe does not care at all about eeeing me," she thought; "he does not eeem in the least degree agitated or â€" embarracsed â€" he has forgotten _ With her usual smiling grace Lady Maude said : "We have a little time to spareâ€" would you like to look at these phoâ€" tographs ? They are quite new, and {iner than anything ( have yet seen." ":""i‘héy?:{r'e quite well," he told her but he made no response to her deâ€" sire of seeing them. * P e ) * e me": and as the thought came to her, ber eyes filled with tears. "Ho never could have cared so very much for me," she said to herself; " he could rot really have grieved about loging me." She looked at himâ€"he was talking In a lively and animated strain to Lady Maude. She wondered to hers self if this calm, proud, handsome man, «o perfectly wellâ€"bred, 10 self« possessed, talking so brilliantly to the eart‘s daughterâ€"if this could rea‘is ly be the same ardent, despairing young lover who had bidden her a passionate farewell. H»e was in no hurry to talk to her. She bad rathâ€" er pictured hersel{ as having to hint something like prudence to him; she cou‘d have laughed at herself for the notion. fal‘s‘s Heo did not 100 at her; she doubtâ€" ed even whether he had noticed her rich dress, her shining jowels. When she spoke he replied with polite inâ€" difference, with woellâ€"bred caimness, but he never once voluntarily adâ€" dressed her. It was all so different from what she had pictured that se experienced a strange sense of deâ€" preksion. Lady M=aude was compelied to leaye av 400 on on o 6 + + 8 Waikerville, Montreal, Winnineg, St. John B2.75 , 5.75 CR them for a few minutes, and then Lady Chevenix turned to Felix. "How strange it seems that wo should meet here," she said. _ _ "Yes, it is strange," he replied. "I am very often here on businessâ€"you, I presume, come equally oftea on pleasure ?" ____ t â€""It is my first visit," she .said ; :mtt he did not ask the reason of hat. "How cold, how indifferent he is to me," she remarked to herself. "No one would ever think even that we had been friends. If he would say something reproachf{ul it would be better than this." But there was no thougcht of reâ€" proach in him. He spoke to her with a smile. He neither sought her nor avoided her. His conduct was such that she might have been a stranger whom he had met for the first time, Then came the signai for dinner, and Lady Chevenix was surprised to find that Felix took down Lady Maude. She wert down with the Earl, and Sir Owen escorted Lavinia _ Rolfe. Violet was so placed at the table that she could see and hear all that passed. as being clever and gifted ; but she had nevor dreamed that ho was really the gonius he was. When with her he had seldom spoken of anything but hersolf and his great love for her. Now, for the first time, sho heard him converse with intellectual mon, who all seemed to look up to him as their superior. Sho was astounded. The great statesman, Lord Rayden, talked much to him, and the earl asked his opinion. " It does me good," said Lord Rayâ€" den, "to hear such ideas as yours, they are so thoroughly fresh, clever and original We must have you on our side,; You must not go over to the eneemy." Felix had a natural wit that made his conversation pqrant and amusing. Lord Arlington de.ighted in it, When any playful attack was made on himâ€" gsell he would look at him and say : _ Never in her lifo had the beautiful Lady Chevenix fclt so surprised. She had always heard Felix spoken of Sir Owen said little. He had ideas otf his own; one was that talking at dinner time was a bore rathor than not; people sat down to eat, not to talk. He certainly did not conâ€" tribute much to the general enterâ€" tainment. He dined well, and more than once Violet felt something like dismay, as she saw how the wine glasses before him were replenished. she could not help contrasting the two men; nor was she the only one present who did so. Felix was so bright, so handsome, so animated, so gifted anrd intellectual; he was a leader of conversation even among older and wiser imen than himself, for he had the gift of picturesque language. Sir Owen, coarse and heavy, his brain dulled with conâ€" stant drinking, speaking little, but when he did speak, saying something almost â€" disagrecable, was â€" doltish and inert, except when he was offenâ€" sive. ‘There could â€" have been no greater contrastâ€"and Lady Cheveâ€" nix saw it. To hersel{ she thought how Felix would be appreciated and understood in London, how eagerly he would be soughtâ€"who would care to remember that he was the son of a country lawyer? Such men make their own mark. Where her husband would not be tolerated, Felix would be received with open arms. All these observations she made to hersoli as she sat by Lord Arlington, her besutiful faco wreathed with emiles. The last words she heard as the ladies quitted the diningâ€"room were from Lord Rayden,. f as she was listening to. Sho looked once at her husband, and sho saw him gazing with undisguised admiraâ€" tion at Felix. " I shall leave you to answer that, Mr. Lonsdale." "The next time you run up to Lonâ€" don, Mr. Lonsdale," he was saying, "pray come and see me. I shall be delighted if you do, and I will show you the very articles in the newsâ€" paper of which we aro speaking." The dinner was a complete success. It was a new thing to Lady Cheveâ€" nix, intellectual â€" conversation such As his lorasnip had forseen, tho outâ€" door attractions proved too much for the younger guests,. The earl himâ€" sell and Lord Rayden sat down to chess ; Lady Arlington, Lady Rolfe, Colonc! Riddell and Sir Owen mado up a whist table; Lavina went i0 the plano; Lady Maude disâ€" tributed her attentions equally, and most of the young people went out through the long, open windows on to the wide terrace. The evening was fragrant, calin and esweet ; far away under the trees the glowâ€" worms were beginning to #hine ; a nightinguale was singing in the garâ€" dons; the faint ripple of fountaing filled the air; the rich odor of roses and lilics ascended like a cloud of perfume. > The pentiemen did not linger long over their wine. Lord Arlington saw that Sir Owen was inclined to drink freely ; ho made a note in his own mind that it snould be some time at least before that gentleman dined with him again. â€"And in her own mind Lady Cheveâ€" nix thought that such a thing as an invitation from the eminent statesâ€" man would be an honor Sir Owen would never attain. One by one the guests went out. Some descended the terrace steps iato the rose garcens below ; some admircd the tinus in the wost loft by tho sunset; leaning over the stoue belustradeos ; others wandered into the beautiful grounds. Lady Maude walked for a snort time with Felix, "You can amuse yoursclf," she said; "you are a man ol "rosource. I must go to that unhaspy young lorcling who is focbly trying to talk to Miss Lioyd." | â€" s Pn "as [ ."'.'x;,‘_il;r-x-liéhé looked up at him with a smile. 6 s uce $# She loft him, and Felix turned down a broad path whore the acacia trees wore in full bloom. _ Lady Cuevenix saw him and folilowod him. She had beoen longing for tha chaneeo of «aneakâ€" ing a fow words to him, and it had come at last. He was startied when a shadow foll over his path and a awoet voice said : "Felixâ€"Mr. Lonsdaloeâ€"will you be friends with me ?"

"I‘m afraid, to uso a _ lawyer‘s phrase, that is a true indictment," he replied. "Lady Chevenix, I must plead guilty. I was thinking of Lord Rayden® "And I was thinking said, gently. m saba fod "You are \5ery kind," he returned, indifferently. "Lord _ Rayden is quite a new type of man to ms; 1 have soen no one like him." They were walking down the path tozsther nowâ€"he had been compellâ€" e tp follow as she led. The white ancacia blossoms fell on them; the evening breeze was full of sweetâ€" ness, Lady Chevenix turned to him with her old graceful impetuosity. Sho stampod ‘her little fcot on the ground impationtly. "Do not b» so polite to me," she criod ; and then she scemed suddenly to rtmember herself. "I beg your pardon, Felix," sho said ; "but I want to know if you will ba friends with "I do not want to talk about Lord Raydenâ€"I do not sare to hear about him; I want to hear of you." § > & â€""You are veory kind," he said again, with i polite bow.}/. css }â€" #.

There comes a time in the life of all women when they| are [face to face with a grave crisis; when there aro distressing backaches, headaches, dizzinees; when even gome women aro threatened with the loss of their reason; when they suffer because they are women. ‘The happiness of women for the rest of their lives ueâ€" ponds upon being safely! tideq over this crisis.

I tried many medicines but none o7 them hoeiped me. ‘Then I was adâ€" vised to try Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills. I am grateful now, for that advice, for after using about a dozon boxes every symptom of ‘the trouble disâ€" appeared and life again seemed worth living.

(To t» Continued.) of you," she fashâ€" ONTARIO ARCHIVEsS TORONTO Report Concerning Canadian Goods in Great Britain. : _ Department of Agriculture, t . Commissioner‘s Branch, ‘The folilowing is the report of Mr. A. W. Grindley, agent of the Deâ€" E‘rtment of Agriculture in Great tain, regarding Canadian Food Products in Great Britain : } Canadian Tood products are often sold in Great Britaim to the conâ€" sumer, as being the product of Great Britain or the product of some other countryâ€"the protuce of which may command a higher prices on the marâ€" ots. The only thing that can be done is for Canadian shippers to brand "Canada" or "Canadian," on â€" evâ€" erything, and advertise freely in the British trado journals. A few Canâ€" wdian firms havo followed this plan and toâ€"day their brands are in geâ€" mand, and aro known as "Canadian produce," but this position has only] been gained by spending a lot of monrey, in advertising. Financial reâ€" turns Are what the average shipper looks for, and if ho receives more money by having his goods sold as the product of some other country, he very| naturaliy pockets the highâ€" er price and says nothing. It is a very, sloOw game, getting the Briâ€" tish people to change theirideas or tastes, to "play the game," one must have lots of time and epend money) freely. This the average Canâ€" adian cxporter cannot afford to do, but Canadian goods are gradually, If slowly, gaining in favor. This gain in favor is chiefly due to the fine quality of the Canadian goods. Inâ€" ternational competition is so keen to capture the British market that there is no room to try| fake games, and I am sorry to say the only way to make some Canadian shippers honest is by act of Parliament. Great good has already) been done by "The Frcit Marks Act" Our dairy products are landing each season in more por{feet conditiouâ€"this is du» to the close inspection kopt in Canâ€" ada over the manufacture of cheese and builter, to ths imp.ovement in the cheose factories and creame:i»s, but also Jlargely duso to the "Govâ€" ernment Cool Curing Rooms" for choese, and the improved "cool" and aid "cold" storage for food _ proâ€" ducts on the various stcamsâ€"h‘n iines rusning fiom Canada to the d Lereat Brilish ports. Canadiin Butter packed ia Danâ€" ish Kicls â€" Mr. Grindley also reâ€" ports as follows concerning the packing of Canadian butter in Danâ€" ish kiels: 6 Canada in the majority of cases does not get credit {ior her food producis. One never sces in British rotall e ps â€""Caradian Chesse," "Canacdian Butter," ‘*Casadian Eags,‘ "Canagian â€" Bacon," o¢.> "Canadina Deetf." A few Canalias firms are edâ€" vertising thcir goods, and in time our goods may be calied for, but as yot the avorago British conâ€"umer doss sot care whers his food comes from as long as it suils his taste and tho price is reasonable. As a gereral rule the wholesale firms buy ard sell goods for what they are, the fusnyâ€"work is done by the retailâ€" or, and the consumers are the only ones who are decived, and they don‘t caro if the quality is good. Under the "Merchandisa Marks Act" of Great Rritain, goods can enâ€" ter the country with no mark or any mark that will not lead people astray as to where the goods come from. For example, if you put Boston on goods, the party conâ€" cerned would be fined, as there is a Roston in England, but Boston, Mass., or Boston, U. 8. A., would be safe. _ "Nova Scotia" on apples from that Province would be allowed, as Nova Scotian apples are classed by themselves. Eggs come from Canâ€" ada packed in the foreign or Irish case, which holds 1440 eags. These aro sold as Irish or Selected Danish, whichever may bring the highest price. _ American and Canadian bacon and hams are sent from port of landâ€" ing to English smokeâ€"houses, and apâ€" pear on the market as Wiltshire, Cumberland, Yorkshire, Berkshire, or any other favorite brand. Of course, if you could prove a caso where marks were forged, the parties conâ€" cerred would be heavily fined, but all this funny work is done in celâ€" lars or behind the scenes.
