Then they fell to chatting about more interesting subjeects, until Florâ€" enee montioned that Mr. Carrol had boen on his way to call upon them, when he so opportunely came to her rescue, whereupon Mrs, Seaver insisted that he must come home to lunch with them, and two minâ€" utes later, they were all rolling on their way toward Portland Sguare, whore the Seaver‘s _ apartments were located.

' Mr. (‘nrr(‘?l deeply regrotted thus losinx sight entirely of the woman. for upon her and the restoration of her faculties has rested his ooly hope of ever being able to discover the parenatage of his pmte’g:‘- l cal But this purplexity was so0N emt"" lowed up by new interests, for some parties whom he had come in{ contact with while settling his father‘s busâ€" incss, impressed by his unfmpeachable honesty and manliness, together with the thorough knowledge which he had manifested relative to the busiâ€" ness, that they proposed to reorâ€" ganizo a new company, giving him a third interest for his â€"knowledge and services. . * This was a very flattering ‘and promising offer, and~ ho immediately although the arrangom>nt would reeâ€" essiate ropoated absonces from TLonâ€" g‘ond'nnd the leaving of James beâ€" m 4 & was somewhat soon swalâ€" coming very fond of the boy, who, in regurn. fairly idolized him ; but the opportunity was one not to be slighted, as it was sure to lead him to even better things, and the separâ€" ation, though trylng: would have to be borne. ; Therefore, he put James into a fine boarding school for boys, and, Obâ€" taining from Dr. Field, who was 2180 deeply interested in him, a promise to look in ufon him occasionally, he was ready for his first trip, which would take him from London {Or from three to six months at a time. Before leaving, however, he made an effort to look up his mother‘s reâ€" latives ; but, on paying a visit to their estate, he found, it deserted and Eo evidence that the place had been occupied for some time. to This was a keen disappointment to him, for he was so alone, he had hoped to establish some tie of kinâ€" ship; but thinking the family might be travelling abroad, he tried to comâ€" fort himself Lwaith the promise of seekâ€" ing them again upon his return from his trip. Nearly two months have elapsed glnce the Seavers, with their ward, sailed for Europe, and=â€"we now find Walter Leighton located in New York City, whither he had returned about the first of September. He had been in anything but; an enâ€" joyable frame of mind since the deâ€" parture. of Florence, for her quiet and decided repudiation of their preâ€" vious relations had warned him that the girl had more strength of purâ€" pose than he had ever given her credit for, and it also enraged him beyond measure to have been so balked in his plans, : e Another cireumstance had served to greatly augmoent his irritation and annoyance. It will be remembered that on his return from his last interview with Florence be had found a visitor in his roomsâ€"a man whom he both hatâ€" ed and feared, and one whom he had believed to be dead and thus helpless ever to rise in the jadgment against him. A A stormy scene had ensued ; but, alâ€" though the man lhad finally departed without â€" having accomplished the object for which he had come, the knowledge that he was still living and might rise again in his path, seeking redress for the wrongs he had suffered, was a constant source of anmnoyance to him. He also hated the ceaseless routine of his life, with its limited remunerâ€" ation, and it was maddening to think how near ho had come to securing a handsome fortune, only to have it slip from his grasp at the last moâ€" ment. a Six weeks passed thus, every day only serving to make tim more and more dissatisfied with his life of drudgery and monotony. One evenâ€" ing, after returning late from his club, where he had been playing a losing~â€"game at poker and drank far more than was good for him, he threw himsel{ heavily into _ a chair to finish his cigar, before reâ€" tiring, and drew a paper from his pocket. k &1e read for half an hour or more, and then turned carelessly to . a page of advertisements, lazity runâ€" ning his eye up and down‘ the varâ€" ious columas. _ 5. All at once his gaze became fasâ€" tened upon an advertisement,.which caused him to almost heap from his chair and every atom of color to recede from his face, aASs he breathlessly read it through.

" What do you mean, Anna?" sharply demanded the young man, who had taken this way to find out how much the girl really knew, She laughed at lhiim saucily. "Oh, you can‘t play that game on me, Mr. Leighton," â€" she observed, flippantly. "Of course, I thought it was you who was being married to herâ€"I believed the knot was tied, far and square, aind I should never have known any different if Miss Florence hadn‘t told methat a strange man had taken your place, and the shock it gave her when she found it out was what made her faint," "Yes, I know that is what she claimed," Leighton â€" returned, still hoiding the girl‘s gaze with his magâ€" netic eyies, "but she was laboring under groeat mental excitement, as we all know, and so, liable to be mistaken. Now, if I with my; two friends and youâ€"which would be four against ono â€" should swear that Miss Richardson was married to me that nightâ€"and I have the certificate as additional evidenceâ€" it would be very gifficult for her, to prove the contrary,.

I am goâ€" ing away and shall not be there any more." CHAPTER XII, On the very day of his arrival in London Walter Leighton proâ€" ceeded directiy to the office of Messrs. Woellington & Hayles, to whom he presented his letter of inâ€" troduction from _ ihe banker and other papers, to prove his close reâ€" lationshinp to thoe late Lady| Laura To his exceeding Joy, it was AD. easy task to make ciear to them beyond question, that his mother, Emily Apthorp Vincent, had been the aunt of the late. Laody Page, and this ,o0f course, establighed his kinâ€" ship, as first eousin and nearest bf kin to her. No other applicants had presented themselves, although the attorneys had been advertising for many months, and had almost desâ€" paired of finding an heir to the Page estate, which, in that case, would lapse to the crown.

They werse very unfortunate with their children," the lawyier observed with a regrotful sigh. "It is a sad story â€"do {you care to listen to it ?" he questioned, bending a searching look upon the youn gman‘s face. "Certain}y â€"of course I am deeply interested," he tried to say) in & proper ‘tone. "Well, they lost their eldest child, a boy, when he was only three montbs old, and nearly thirteen jong â€" years ago," Mr. Wellingâ€" ton resumed. "This was a torriy.e HWow to them, but they were someâ€" what comforted whoen a year later, a daugzhter was born to them. Two years afterward there came another boy, and then life looked yery bright to them again. When â€" this last â€"child was about q year and a ‘half old, Lady Page‘s healith began to fail, and her physicians ordered her to the sowth of France for a few months. The little girl was allowed to accompany her parents, but the boy, who was a robust and very nolsy little fellow, was forbidden to go, lest he worry his mother, and ho was left behind with a > trusty | nurss who had be'le:.n in the ta?lg J any years. ~oy were sen . ‘If-:'sg?tofi"â€"‘-'{v.'flbh is rot very far from ,I woirtaing Towersâ€"to board with a __mod woman who had orco been B9b bousekeeper for Lecy Page, but who had married and located in that place. Lady Page improved rapidiy, and at the end of four months was pronourced able to returs. As they wished to spend a little time in Lopâ€" don before returning to the Towers, Bir Julien, who was eager for a sight of his boy, wrote to the nurse to join them on a stated day at the Arcadia, a hotel where they were accustomed to sojourn during their visits there. On the same day he also wrote to the proprietor of the house, bespeakâ€" ing a suite of rooms for himseell and family. But, as it happened, a.ndukt was an unusual cireumstanceâ€"the hotel was so full they could not be accommodated, and the proprietor was obliged to telegrap» him to that effect. Sir Julien immediately tele graphed to another house and securâ€" ed a suite, then wrote to the nurse at Brighton, telling her of the change be had made. It appears, however, that she did not receive this last communication, but. aecording to the story of the woman wilth whomllhe and her charge had been boarding, she left Brighton on the: specified date to obey the instructions of Sir Julien‘s first letter, and that was the last that was ever geen or heard of either surse or baby, by any of their friends." C s . _ "How strange !* exclaimed Walter Leighton, as the man paused.. ie PC oo LEWCTHE s €NBZ OEA i Ey He had listened with almost breathâ€" less attention to the story; but a feeling of excessive wsreas nessâ€"A gec» ret fearâ€"oppressod him, in view of the mystery which appeared to enâ€" velop the fate of the little heir of Worthing Towers. The Condipion of Many Young Women in Shops and Offices. y Thousands of young women have to depend upon their own efforts to gain a livelihood, and to these, whether beâ€" hind the counter, in the office, the facâ€" tory or the home, work means close conâ€" finement â€" often in‘ badly ventilated rooms. There is a strain on the nerves; the blood becomes impoverished; | the cheeks pale; there are frequent headâ€" aclies; palpitation of the heart and a constant tiredness. If the first sympâ€" toms are neglected it may lead to a comâ€" | plete breakdownâ€"perhaps consumption. What is needed to restore vim and energy and vitality is a tonic, and absoâ€". lutely the best tonic in the world is Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills. They actually make new blood, and bring health and cheerful energy to tired and depressed girls and women. â€" Miss Viola Millet, Robinson‘s Corners, N. S., says: "I was a great sufâ€" ferer from headaches, heart palpitation, and troubles that afflict my sex. My blood seemed almost to have turned to water, and the least exertion left me weak and depressed. I used seven boxes of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills and they have made a remarkable change in my conâ€" dition. I can truly say that I féel like a new person, and I strongly recommend these pills to all weak, ailing girils.”‘ i Wondot sydlt idns dÂ¥h ind ol i o0 ns P LN F4 /9 These pills cure all forms of blood and nerve troubles, but you must get the genuine, with the full name, Dr. Wilâ€" liams‘ Pink Pills for Pale People, on the wrapper around each box. Ask your druggist for them, or you can get them by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by writing the Dr. Williams‘ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. Demand for it Increasingâ€" Building New Curing Rooms. ‘ Judging from the greater demand for cool cured cheese which exists thisâ€" seaâ€" son, the old country merchants are beâ€" ginning to realize more fully. the advantâ€" age there is in handling cheese which has not been exposed during the process. of} curing to a temperature higher than 60 degrees,.

Ruddick, Chief of the Dairy Division, Ottawa, who has this | work in hand, points out that many of the existing curing rooms are large en-‘ ough to allow of an ice chamber being constructed in one end, and still leave sufficient room for cheese. This applies more particularly to the older factories in Western Ontario. ! COOL CURED CHEESE. TIRED AND DEPRESSED. Where improvements are proposed for next season, the work should be underâ€" taken this fall, in order to have the ice chamber ready for filling during the winâ€" ter. Mr. Ruddick has prepared plans showing his system of cooling for all classes of chees factory and creamery buildings, and he invites those who conâ€" template improving old buildings _ or erecting new ones to communicate wit® him, if they desire to have the benefit of his experience in these matters. i h P iscc Aivacet cesb dnt crvigha w : T This question of the cool curing of cheese is one in which the patrons of cheese factories should take the keenest interest, because thy will gain _ more through its adoption than any other seeâ€" tion of the trade. They should be willâ€" ing to bear a share at least of the exâ€" pense of refitting the factory,. The preâ€" sent scale of charges for manufacturing cheese is based on the old plan, and it is too low to secure a good service. Some of the factories with cool cured cheese have during the present season been getting oneâ€"fourth of a cent above the highest price paid for the ordinary cured article, and there is not the slightâ€" FECL POV o ul Wentside Med‘T oA Cw s c o s P D 2y faves & cured article, and there is not the slightâ€" est doubt but the difference will be greater as cool cured checse becomes betâ€" ter known. In addition to the increased price there is a saving in shinkage ef about 1 and a half per cent. *Â¥ 1‘To be continued.) h sc en Department of Agriculture, ] Commissioner‘s Branch, ‘ Attention was recently ealled to the fact that out of some 100 to 200 samâ€" ples of water from farm wells analyzed annually by Prof. Shutt, chemist of the Dominion experimental farms, not oneâ€" fifth are found safe and wholesome. By far the greater number have to be utâ€" terly condemned, and it seems very eviâ€" dent that a great improvement in our water supplies is necessary. This danâ€" gerous condition of many farm wells is undoubtedly due to pollution by unsaniâ€" tary closets, There is no reason why we should have our farmhouses to-dtz in the semiâ€"barbaric condition in whi so many of them are, with their closets and privies a menace to public health. We may talk about bacteriology, saniâ€" tation, and so on, but all that and a great deal more is included in what we understand by "cleanliness." _ The lack of cleanliness is primarily a matter of ignorance, and secondarily a matter of laziness. Ordumrz shallow wells in the vicinity of: the old fashioned privy pits are alâ€" most certain to become contaminated by . seepage. â€" The soil is an excellent filterâ€" ing and clearsing agent, oxidizing orâ€" ganic matter rapidly, and tending to check the development of many of the common ,sutrehctive bacteria. _ But the soil is 0 { liable to dispose of a certain Amount of contaminating material, and such disposal takes time, so that by heavy rains the contaminating matter may beâ€"carried far into the earth below the true purifying layer, and thus soak unchange(fu into the wells _ An old pit which has been c}osed_and‘covvred with earth is almost equally dangerous, as the decomposition of the large mass of' excréta contained therein is a matter of years, unless hastened by the proxâ€" imity of trees whose roots reach the pit. The‘ contents should be removed and spread upon a field, and the pit left open long enough to permit the decomâ€" position of any organic matter remainâ€" ing. If farmers once took time to think of these matters there would undoubtedâ€" ly be a great improvement. _ Windmills are now both cheap and common, and there is no reason why wellâ€"toâ€"do farmâ€" ers should not have a water system in er, , 2 T.

Mr. Ambler reâ€" marked that there was no use of Mr. Westâ€" 8 ingbouse wasting further time or money, @8 | ; he had patents covering every practical idea. | . Mr. Westinghouse realized that the Chicago | : | brake had not reached perfection, and he | . ; set about to find a solution for the troubles | : ‘ of the railroads in some other channel. . i His first plan was to use a steam eylinder ! urder the locomotive tender to draw up the | . chain, and then he thought of a cylinder unâ€" i , : der each car, with a pipe to feed all the eylâ€" |. inders. His brother assisted him, and the two worked and experimented, but found no | | solutionu. Mr. Westinghouse read everything | . | that he could get on the subjct. A descripâ€" | tion of a drilling apparatus in Mount Cais ‘ tunnel, where the compressor was over balf a mile from the drill, suggested the use of > compresed air for braking trains. It was lan inspiration. He set about the task of | placing his idea on paper and he took the ‘ sketches to the superintendent of the New York Central Railroad,. with confused elaâ€" . tion. The Vanderbilt engineer refused to exâ€" ‘ periment. _ He thought the idea was foolâ€" | hardy. Mr. Westinghouse tried the officers 'ot the Erie Railroad. They were dubious, | and declined. But Mr. Westinghouse was inâ€" +‘ sistent. He knew he had a good idea and ‘ he was determined to try it. So he filed papers for patent rights. iC NMr. Westlnfnouse started a steel works at . | Schenectady /in 1867 to manufacture: his car , replacer and other railway supplies, but he had little money, and few friends who had l confidence in him. He happened to come to r . Pittsburg to negotiate a contract with & . Pittsburg steel manufacturing concern in roâ€" lation to hbis railway inventions, and while C | there he interested Ralph Baggaley in 1868 \ in his invention. The latter saw the opporâ€" t tunities from a description, and on the promâ€" | ise of a oneâ€"fifth interest advamced money sufficient to make apparatus ereugh to give f the invention a thorough test of an entire g train. The Panhandle was a rather tough proposition at that time, and it was not' t bery difficult to obtain permission from the e guperintendent to try the invention on the. s nccqmmodnuon running between Pittsburg * and Steubenville.

Galvanized iron buckets, larqer at the top than at the bottom, are also easy to empty in winter. . The nature of the receptacle is largely a matter of conâ€" venience; the essential features of the system are the storing and use of & plentiful supply of dry earth and the emptying oF the receptacle regularly.

RVUPNME MNMT NP OMMMTUOIOTOLCLO Aden j his first plant was completed in 1870, he had a pretty good brake to sell. ‘That was the beâ€" ginning of Wilmerding and the birth of one of the most profitable concerns in the world. Like every Pittsburger, Mr. Westinghouse began a conquest of Europe as soon As he introduced his brake in America. | English roads were more wealthy than American roads, and the desire for safety to passengers on and off the trains was then greater on the other side. But there were so many difâ€" ficulties in the way that it required eleven years for Mr. Westinghouse to introduce his invention. The trouble was that the railroads of Emge were satisfied to brake their trains from a brake ran by hand, leaving the other wagons free from restraint. It was in 1871 when the Pittsburg inventor started, and it was 1882 before he succeeded. _ â€" watched and experimented, and by the time He had been busy in Pittsburg in the meantime, and had invented the automatie rake, which remOoved the danger from parting of trains on steep grades. In 1886 he invented the quickâ€"action brake. This made it practicable to apply all brakes on a 50â€" car freight train in two seconds. This brake is regarded as Mr. Westinghouse‘s masterâ€" plece, and many lives have been saved as & result of it. This gives complete and instant control to an engineer over a train more than a third of a mile in length. _ (Yeâ€"t It is an interesting set of volumes that Mr. Westinghouse preserves in his library. ‘These show his various inventions, and it is« remarkable how many features of safe railâ€" roading Mr. Westinghouse conceived in his search for the right thing at the right time. ‘There are hundreds of patents, covering inâ€" numerable details, and the history of the brake is gradually traced through years of effort. The airâ€"brake was the foundation of the great Pittsburg inventor. It gave him wealth and prestige, and enabled him to ac« complish wonders almost as great in entirely different lines. It was a good thing for Mr. Westinghouse. It was a good thing for Pitts= burg and the entire world, as many thou= sands of lives have been saved through this invention.
