Here the sound of wheels upon the lgruvel drew her to the entrance in time ; to see the phaeton drive up, wherein sat Kenneth triumphant, and Mary Black beside him. l Mona welcomed her cordially. It was refreshing to meet the honest eyes, to hear the frank, unsophisticated voice of _the simple, natural Highland lassie. | "I am so glad to see you. Uncle Sandy has gone out round the garden with a { gentleman, so I will show you your room , at onee. She is looking blooming, Kenâ€" nethâ€"better than when we met in Glasâ€" | row." a # in ca ds She went away to deliver the message, and Lisle followed her. f "Is Donald at the stables?" she added.

Uncle Sandy," she said, opening the door, "Captainâ€"I mean Sir St. John Lisle would like to see the garâ€" dens," "Varra weel. IT‘ll be proud to show them"; and Uncle Sandy Yeaned over the arm of his chair to pick up his stick, which as usual had fallen on the carpet. "I will stay to receive Miss Black, who must soon be here," said Mona, gently, as she took up her work and resumed her seat by the window. _ _ "It was so good of you to ask me. Kenâ€" neth told me all about it, and mother bid me present her best compliments to you." | _'J;L(-g they had a little cheerful talk about the Miost bocoming mode of dressâ€" ing the bair, with i few words on the prevailing fashion of morning frocks; afâ€" ter which it was time to go to the drawâ€" ing room, which they hardly reached beâ€" fore the bell rang. | Mona could hardly repress â€" A amile when Uncle Sandy appeared, followed by Ihis guest. Lisle looked rather grave, but Mr. Craig had an air of selfâ€"satisfaction, which spoke volumes as to the amount of boring his victim had indured. "And this is Miss Black? I am weel , pieased to welcome her to Craigdarroch. ‘ Any friend of Miss Craig‘s, my niece, is welcome to me, especially a bonnie lassie like you, Sit ye doon, sit ye doon." And he proceeded to ask a blessing of portenâ€" _tous length. The midday meal proceeded vyery sucâ€" lcessfully. To Mona‘s surprise, Lisle made himself* very pleasant, listening to all ‘ Uncle Sandy said with interest, and just enough difference of opinion to stimu{ate the old man to triumphant argument. He seemed to enjoy the very simple food set before him, and discussed fishing with ! Kenneth, inviting him to s{wnd a day on ithe river‘s side, occasionally sending a ‘ halfâ€"admiring, â€" halfâ€"defiant glance . to Mona, which seemed to say that he was not to be easily shaken off. Secing that | it made Mary biush painfully to be noâ€" ticed, he kindly left her alone, Directly to Mona he said very little, but he inâ€" quwired if she had seen this or that periodâ€" tcal or quarterly, and offered to ‘send them up to her. "Finally, he was, he said, reluctantly obliged to take leave, and the whole pariy went out to see him start. Lisle cast a backward glance at her as he left the roomâ€"a glance she did not pretend to see. As soon as she was alone her bands dropped into her lapâ€" a grave, almost sad expression crept over her speaking face, which had worn so bright and amused an aspect, while she remembered the sharp pain, the corrodâ€" ing mortification that had caten into her soul, and for which she had to thank the â€"pleasantâ€"mannered, distinguishedâ€" looking man who had just l?ft‘ her. °+ " "I am so glad to see you a bit alone beâ€" fore I meet Mr. Craig," said Mary, as she followed Mona down the long passage to her room; "I am very frightened of him." "But you must not be so," sard her young hostess. "My uncle likes those least who fear him most." "I suppo’se I may give your love to Lady Finistoun, Miss Craig. She will be here toâ€"morrow, I dare say, when she kmows who is in her neighborhood. Many thanks for your hospitality, Mr. Craig. I will come up again as soon as I have seen McGregor. Adieu." A wave of the hand, an uplifting of his hat, he touched his spirited horse with the whip, and in another moment he was out of sight round the curve of the drive. "What style there was about him," Mona could not help saying to herself. "What cool selfâ€"possession and certainty of his own position. Strength is always attractive in a man. 1 almost wish I had never found him out," she thought. "A varra reasonable, wiseâ€"like young mon, for ane in his Eosition, and willing to hear truth from the lips of a thoughtâ€" ful body. But he has his tempers, I‘ll be bound. He was just anither sort 0‘ man the day I went to meet . himâ€"shortâ€" spoken and scornfulâ€"like. But I daursay he sune saw that 'l::::dy Craig could hold his ain with a y. Aha, lad, he‘s changed his tune the day! Come along, my bonnie bairn‘! Kenneth and me are going to our books, so Mona will take you round the gardens and the grounds, forbye the dairy." CHAPTER XIX. Mona felt younger and more like her old self after this meeting with Lisle than she had done since her §randmoth- er‘s death. The encounter had proved to }ws ::o;n;ozxrletely she had cast off ;.he old feeli regret and pain at her disâ€" enchantment, and sho‘wag. her that she was stronger than of old. Still Lisle in a way interestel her. His manners, look at?" asked Lisle, inâ€" With all his radicalism, Uncle Sandy was deeply gratified by the readiness of this fine gentleman to cultivate his acâ€" quaintance, He was remarkably amiable and serene during the whole afternoon and evening after Lisle‘s visit, although he held forth at some length on the folly and evil effect of titles on their possessâ€" ors, as well as on society at large. when he chose, were attractive, though Mona fancied she could preceive the baser metal of selfishness underlying the silâ€" verâ€"plating of his effeetive exterior. His placidity so soothed Mary Black‘s nerves that she was able to sing some Jacobite ballads without much trepidaâ€" tion, and in a voice so sweet and true: that the absence of training was not perâ€". ceived. Uncle Sandy was highly pleased. "Eh!" he saidâ€"a prolonged "Eh!"â€" "there‘s a Scotch song for you, Mona, and a Scotch voice! All the éerman and Italian growling and screeching couldna equal ugat! Even yourself, nooâ€"you have a pretty pipe of your own, but you canna give me a lilt like that." i "No, indeed, Uncle," said Mona, cheerâ€" fully. "One must be Scotch to sing Scotch as Mary does." "Can you sing Bonnie Mary Hay, my lassie?t" And Uncle Sandy insisted on an enâ€" core. “Oh} yes, that I can"â€"with a delighted smile. "It is just father‘s favorite." Then Mona added her share to the conâ€" cert, and Mary hung in genuine pleasure and admiration over the piano. "FEh," she cried, "but you make the "Eh," she notes speak." _ So Mona proposed to give her a few lessons in piano playing, and all went well and happily.

These pulleys are connected with the main driving pulley by a belt which is shifted from side to side, bringing first one and then the other of the boxing arms into action.

The machine is driven by an electric motor, and can be made to rain blows as rapidly as the best boxer can reeeive them, or it may be operated slowly for the instruction of the novice.

THIS DUMY CAN FIGHT. (To be Continued.) ONTARIO ARCHIVEsS TORONTO The fact that few actors and manaâ€" gers leave behind them any fortune apâ€" {e“s to be just as true in other counâ€" ries as it is here. A satistician has reâ€" cently figured out some interesting deâ€" tails as to the estates left by distinguishâ€" ed players and managers in England. Henry Irving left only $100,000 and much of that was realized from the sale of his pictures and other works of art. . The Lfact that Ellen Terry had a benefit the other day shows how much she has saved 'from half a century of work. Unlike Sir Henry she never had any share of ilosses to bear. William Terriss, who was murdered five years ago, in London, was 50 at the time of his gentn, and left $100,000. He had been in all that period an actor unâ€" der salary and bad made few if any ventures of his own. Dan Leno, who was only 45 at the time of his death, got the biggest salary ever paid to any music hall singer in England, and Oscar Hammerstein gave him $1,500 in real money during his stay at the Olympia. Yet he left behind him only $54,000.. WWM‘ Wilson Barrett, who had known many ups and downs in his career, found great prosperity in "The Sign of t he Cross," during tg'e latter years of his life, but none of the plays that he attempted afâ€" tor that time ever made any money for him. _ Probably the $50,000 that he left behind himâ€" came altogether from the royalties that he received from that play. It has been acted in this counâ€" try for six years and is to go on tour again. Augustus Harris, who had Covent Garâ€" dens and Drury Lane, died in the early ‘40‘s, and was so much involved finanâ€" cially that in spite of all his great entcerâ€" prises he left an estate of only $118,000. Lady Martin, who was Helen Faucit, had earned in her professional career $143, The cirenus managers seem to be as }H"osperous in England as they are here. e famous Frederick Hengler left $288,â€" 000, which is a larger sum than any manâ€" ager or actor in England left, but seems small in comparison with the $8,000,000 left behind by James Bailey, and the great Barnum fortune. Some of the American fortunes nave turned out just as smali. It was thought always that the late Fanny Davenuort was a rich woman. . She had acted for years with great success and been a great popular favorite. Yet she left practicalâ€" ly nothing, That was in a measure due to the failure of several productions made just before her death,. Henry E. Abbey died a poor man, alâ€" though he had handled millions, Maurice Grau, on the other hand, retired from business worth $400,009, Tart of which was made from sucecesful speculation. â€"p# & Pievs & u um The rest of his fortune was earned durâ€" ing the last ten years of his managerial ca¥éer. skk. cauke > 2i [ . Augustin Daly had been through sev~ eral years of very bad luck just before his death but his last season was profitâ€" able, because "The Great Ruby" turned out by a lucky fluke to be a great finâ€" ancial success. _ Yet he left very little, His books, his contract for certain musicâ€" al farces from England and his interes: in Daly‘s Theatre in London turned out to be about all that he possessed, Yet he had been for years in harness and had spent thousands and thousands of dollars. A. M. Palmer was practically a peoâ€" gioner on the bounty of Charles Frohâ€" man when he died as manage® of The Merald Square ’l'hehntre. Hayman is said to be righest %a agep toâ€"day.

He left, also, many valuable interests in plays. _ He figured very little, however, in the afâ€" fairs of the theatre, and earned most of his money through his ownership of cerâ€" tain plays. â€" "The Sign of the Cross" was one of these. Lester Wallack died, of course, penniless. Lotta Crabtree, who gave $1,000 for a %rogramme at the benefit for the Saun rancisco sufferers, is said to be the richâ€" est actress in this country, and her torâ€" tune has been estimated at sums varyâ€" ing from $800,000 to $1,000,000. Much of it is in real estate. In that way the largest theatrical fortunes have ‘been made. Maggie Mitchell owns a large block of real estate on the upper West Side and has built several apartment houses there which represent a very comfortable forâ€" tune. She also owns other parcels scatâ€" tered throughout the city. William Florâ€" ence loft his wife $100,000, and half a= much more was disposed of by his will. Joseph Murphy made a fortune out of his Irish plays, especially The Kerry Gow, and kept the money. Some of his colleagues say he still has the first dolâ€" lar he earned in the business. He investâ€" ed it all in real estate in different ciâ€" ties and toâ€"day has more money than any of his profession. 3 $..3%*:. Sol Smith Russell, who died three years ago, was the richest actor in the rofession with the exception of Joseph Rlurphy. Russell, who was accepted in every city in the country but New York, invested his earnings in real estate in Minneapolis and St. Paul. He sold much of that property at a great advance and later put his money into Washington real estate with an equally successful reâ€" sult. _ He left more tlnn $500,000. Danie!l Bandmann, when he died last year, owned a valuable ranch in Wyomâ€" ing which he had bought with the money he earned acting Shakespeare at cheap prices throughout the small Western towns for several {eun. Lewrence Barâ€" rett, on the other hand, left nothing beâ€" hind him, although he had srent. many years in producing worthy plays in the most artistic manner. Edwin Booth‘s forâ€" tune was more than half a million and would have been much more had he invested it in the businesslike way that actors do toâ€"day. Richard Mansfield is one of the richest actors in service and will be well able to retire when he wants to at the end of the three years his press agent has alâ€" lotted to him, He plays long seasons, alâ€" ways draws large audiences and has inâ€" expensive companies, Joseph Jefferson, who did business himself on the _ same meagre scale during the later years of his career, left more than half a million. No woman ever had a greater vogue here than Helena Modjeska, who has been in financial troubles during the _ last few years,. Most of her money disappearâ€" ed through her western ranch and her family. Sie always supported practically in the west a small colony of Poles who lived on her ranch. That has now been sold for $30,000. She earned $25,000 from her tour last year and will keep on actâ€" ing for several years to come, so she will probably be able to retire in comâ€" fort. Hortense Rhea, who had a period of great popularity here, died penniless. Her savings were in a measure exhaustâ€" ed by ill health, but it was a matter of surprise that out of her earnings she saved so little. "It is always a little difficult to tell just how actors do spend their money," a manager told the Sun reporter the other day, "for very few of them live in luxury. They may have a house and a valet, but with expenditures of this kind they stop. They rarely keep yachts or horses and few of them make the least pretence to keeping up an establishment. I‘ve often thought they would be much more sensible if they did. Yet with all their carnings they come to the end of their days without a cent. "One :\'ay they use up money is, of course, through a certain kind of ostenâ€" tation in which they live on their travâ€" els. They take suites in small hotels, have their meals served upstairs when they are, if possible, a little bit worse than they are downstairs and they give suppers to the members of their conmy panies and in other ways that do hl& show but cost a great deal they let their money slip away. *# "I Y&p’ geg p}ar who tra,velflw the niost E&mijts * in # Â¥Gse she enjoys it.

Of course that mal be fun but it is using up ev@y cent she earns. Yet that woman has a very modest house in the country where she spends her summers and no home at all in New York. She never lives with the least pretence to elegance in her own home. All the money is splashed out in life on the road. "It is the same way with most of the managers in this city. They don‘t seem to have much fun out of fheir money. Thay never spend it as other men who made the game incomes would. One sees them around the hotels and chop houses of Broadway just as if they were still nfient_a on a small salary.

Yet in spite of the little fun they have out of it the money goes."â€"NX, Y, Sun. It is not the thunder in a storm that sours milk; it is the lectricity in the air that does it.

Usually, however, he begins the day with one and keeps one close at hand until the sun has passed the meridian:; then he takes to whiskey and socda for thirst quenchers. A Planter‘s Punch is a mixture of lime juice, Jamaica rum and water. First a strong limeade is made with plenty of ice. Enough of the rum is put in to suit, usually about two fingers, and after the punch is stirred nutmeg may be grated over the top, though the connoisseur omits this last ingredient. To the uninitiated & Planter‘s Punch is somewhat insidious. "Lime squash is an English drink and is perfectly harmless. It‘s exactly like a lameâ€" ade, with soda instead of plain water, and some prefer it to its American cousin, lemonâ€" ade, on account of 4t cooling qualities, It takes two limes to each glass, ice and a botile of soda. The limes are squeezd into a gla«s with cpushed ice, a bit of sugar is added and then the soda.
