AT ALL GROCERS CHAPTER XXII. Back again at Craigdarroch, under the murky December clouds, black with the driving rain, and the wild wind weirdly sobbing among the solemn pine trees and leafless oaks. Winter on the west coast, though less bitterly cold than in other parts of the country, is gloomy . and threatening. There was something grand if oppressive in the stormy, threatening aspect of sky and sea seen through breaks in the swirls of gray mist driven hither and thither by fierce blasts from the broad Atlantic.

Now and then the sun broke through eloud and vapor ,and, dis?‘enlng the fleeck wrack that tried to shut him out, shed almost summer brightness on the wintry scene; while in the lull of the storm, one might imagine that a day had been stolen from April and thrown to the tempestâ€"tossed earth to comfort her amid the glom and stress of winter weather. It was a dreary time for Mona. Mary Black had been recalled to her home." The smaliness of the little group, isolated as it woere on that rugged hiilâ€" side, and the feeling that it was a work of time, nay, almost of danger, to escape to the comfort and companionship of a great city, created a sense of imprisonâ€" ment exceedingly trying to the spirits. AVECITV EmE mpy PCOW CC O E Mona was quite ashamed of her own depression a little before Christmas. She felt as if she was forgetten by everyone. Lady Finistoun bad written a pressing invitation to visit her at her home in Cumberland, when Mona was with Mme. Debrisay, which, under any cireumâ€" stances, she would have refused, and since she had given no sign, neither had Lisle. And even Mme. Debrisay had not written for a fortnight. Mona had sugâ€" gested a few weeks in Edinburgh to help them over the depth of the winter, but somehow Uncle Sandy did "not see it." There was nothing for it but to endure There was nothing f the inevitable routine Breakf{fast at nine, and a consultation with the cookâ€"for "supplies" was a question of some difficulty ; then a long spell of reading to her uncle; an escape to weedlework or music; dinner, after which Mr. Craig slumbered for a couple of hours, and Mona was free, if the weaâ€" ther did not permit of going out; a watk to the farmâ€"yard or round the garden if it did; tea and the newspaper; more work or music on Mona‘s part, more sleep on Mr. Craig‘s; a little talk with Kenneth, then suTr and bed. Day after day alike. Mona did not think she could live through another winter. t 7 Lk ht N6 |concbGires anst i. At last the post brought exritementâ€" eurpriseâ€"an entirely new set of ideasâ€" in a letter from Mme. Debrisay. "My Dearest Mona,â€"I suppose you think me one of the most worthless and ungrateful women in the world! Well, just wait, and you will excuse me.

Alâ€" ways your loving friend., G. ]gebrisay.” Mona read this important communiâ€" cation with sincerest pleasure. She had taken a fancy to the gruff, goodâ€"hearted old soldier, and she thought it very proâ€" bable that her dear Deb, with her courâ€" age and experience would keep him up to a proper pitch of amiability, but, and she gave a little sigh, she doubted that she herself would gain as much as Mme. Debrisay anticipated. "She and the genâ€" eral will grow quite fond of each other and not want me. What a selfish idea. I ought to be ashamed of myself," she thought. "I will go and write a letter of congratulation, and I will send her poor grannie‘s cat‘s eye and diamond bracelet for a wedding present; it is the prettiest thing I have. I wonder will my uncle think of giving her anything." Hore that gentleman‘s stick was heard tpping as he approached after an exyed- ition to the poultryâ€"yard with Kenâ€" noth. ‘ "Oh, Uncle Sandy," she cried, as he came in and threw himself, in his usâ€" ual style into his particular chair, "X have just had a letter from Madame Deâ€" brisay. She is going to be married." "Married. Aweel, there‘s nae fule like an auld fule. Pli be bound she‘s goin‘ to tak‘ some lad that might be her son," he exclaimed, with severe contempt. "You are wrong, uncle; she is going to marry General Ficldenâ€"who must be fifteen or twenty years older than she isâ€"a nice old gentieman, who wants some one to take care of him and make his last days comfortable; so thc{ethink it wiser and more respectable to be marâ€" it wiser ried." E2004 "That sounds mair reasonable. Has the general ony siller. These soldier men seatter mair than they gather. It‘s just a misfortun‘ to the country to have the like o‘ them to support." _ _ "He is not rich," returned Mona, I°AV»~ ing her uncle‘s abstract observation unâ€" answered, "but fairly well offâ€"at least for all they will want. I am very, very glad of this news; for though dear Madâ€" ame Debrisay has worked so hard, I d7 not think she has laid by anything, gad the time will come when she can work "That‘s true, Mona, but it‘s no every young lassie would think o‘t, an‘ it mak‘s me think o‘ yoursel.‘ I‘ll not forget you, my dearie; and I‘ll no put it off ony mair.

A bricf interchange of letters ensued â€"extremely brief on Mme. Debrisay‘s side. _ Then came a pause, and the anâ€" nouncement in the "Times,"â€""On the 20th, at the Rogistry Office, Paddington, General Fieldenâ€"to Geraldine, widow of the late Arthur Debrisay, formerly Capâ€" tain in the Kaisorin marie Theresa Musâ€" sarsâ€"No cards." to see l‘x-;wâ€" the election at Clachenbrig has ganeâ€"I‘m fearin‘ it will be against the Liberals." _ 9 It gave Mona a little additional sense of lonclieness to think that sea and land stretched so widely between "Deb" and herself, for, after all, Deb was her mainâ€" stay . Mr. Craig‘s intention of journeying to Glasgow was postponed because he had caught a very severe cold and was obâ€" liged to keen his bed. This was a very trying time to the household, as the old man thought he was going to die, and demanded endless attention,. . 1t W28 thercfore in the last week of January that, encouraged by a favoraple change of weather, he set out on his traveis. He only intended to be away two clear days, but on the morning of the second Mona received a few almost mllegible lines from him saying that he did not ;expcct to get away till the following Saturday. Of this welcome breathing space Knn-l neth took advantage to pay a flying visit to his Maryâ€"leaving . only one‘ morning and returning late the followâ€" ing nightâ€"an interval of uttsz loneliness which was most depressing to Mona. Saturday broke brightly, full of proâ€" mise for a fine day. Already a breath of spring came with the sea brecze to cheer and invigorate. Before Kenneth and Mona had risen from the breakfast table, where they had sat longer than usual, talking of Mary, and discussing how and when the subject of Kenneth‘s marriage with ber could best be broached to Uncle Sandy, a telogram was put into Mona‘s hands from that potentateâ€""Will bring a genâ€" tleman with me.

She well knew Uncle Sandy‘s pride in his belongings, a pride which _ caused some painful struggles in his soul beâ€" tween the love of a good appearanee and the love of peif. So she put up her rich golden bair in becoming coils and short wavy braids, arrayed herself in a polonaise of soft creamy muslin over her black satin skirt, and tied an oldâ€"fashioned ename!l locket with black velvet round _ the snowy throat which her open corsage ’permitted to be seen. This, and a large spray of red geranium and fern on one iside of her bodice, were her only ornaâ€" ments. She was quite ready, and not aissatis fied with herself, some time before the hour at which the travelers were exâ€" pected, so she sat down to the piaro and played dreamily to Konn»th. who had â€" e e 00 2 tang d tas £, also got himself up with care. ;. |*% .} r d "They are late, are ithey not 1" usaid Mon.ndnsheq»kethemndol approaching wheels made itself heard.

"I‘m awfu‘ weary," he said; "I hope the denner is ready ?" "Yes, quite ready, uncle," she returned, darting a curious look beyond him at a fintleman who was in the act of crossâ€" g the thresholdâ€"a man not much above middle height, wrapped in a loose ulster, the high collar of which almost meeting the travelling cap pulled over his eyes, effectually concealed his face.

As he bowed, the strong light fell upon him, and Mona found herself face to face with Leslie Waring, greatly changed and looking years older, but still unmistakably Leslie Waring. For a moment or two Mona felt blind and dizzy, so great, so sudden was the surprise. Then she recovered herself all the more rapidly, because he seemed perâ€" fectly unmovedâ€"while she could only exclaim in an afitated voiceâ€""Mr. Warâ€" ing!"

Marienbad has or long beeen frequented in summer and early autuimn by Austrains and Poles, but there used to be few of the cosmopolitan herd. The visitors almost all took the waters, some of . various comâ€" plaints with which they imagined that they were afflicted, most because they were fat, sn'fl wanted to become thin. Thty gdt up early and wont to bed early. There were no fashionable toilettes, no dinner giving, and no amusements, with the exception of a pretty little }heatre r!;here operas and | play§ were very fairly performed, and where the performance was always over by about halfâ€"oast pine. Occasionally a foreign royâ€" alty, generally rather a secondhand royalty, or the member of the family of an exâ€"Sovâ€" ereign house, turned up, put no one paid the slightest attention to them, ‘The neighâ€" boring wateringâ€"place of Carlsbad was far grander and tar more fashionable. The waters of the two places are, 1. believe analytically about the same, but at Carlsâ€" bad they are hot and at Marienbad they are cold. Of course, the waters are said to work wonders in regard to many maladies. They: may, or they may not. Their chief repu\e‘ bas always been due to their thlnnlns proâ€" perties, but this, I take it, is rather due to tae regime, and if adopted by a fat person anywhere would have the same result. The literature in the booksellers‘ shop windows consists largely of paiphlets dealing with adipose matter on the human frame. 1 have read some of them. They are all based upon the experiences of the immortal Banting. But they insist that abstention from fat itâ€" self does not conduce to getting rid of it. the fat man, it appears, may eat fat as butter, or in any other form. without adding a pound to his weight, provided that he limits himâ€" self to a reasonable amount. Beyond this amount it fattens bim. I have seen many very fat peopie about who do not seen to diminish their bulk. I asked a local doctor how this was. He said that they could not resist beer in the evening. ‘The hotels and apartments are fairly cheap, | | if calculated on the ordinary waterâ€"placing | , tariff. No one is expected to dine at his hotel if be prefers to do so elsewhere. At all | hotels in the Austrian Empire, the restausâ€" | ant, although attached to an hotel, is run | : as a separate concern. Every one pays in | . cash for what he consumes there. This is |. convenient; but there is one custom conâ€" |. nected with the system which is somewhat of & bore. A tip is expected by the head waiter, to whom the order for the dinner is given, by the waiter who serves, and by the laa who brings the liquor ordered. The tips are very small, but this division of tipping is a nuiâ€" sance. For some reason best known to the subjects of the Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary, the little refreshmentsâ€"coffee, etc.â€"taken in the cafes within an easy walk of the town there are many, and gardens are usually crowded in the sfternoon, for a slight refreshment is permitted after a walk between dinner and supper. There is one large cafe in the town where the gamme of lotto, familiar in British nurseries, is played in a large ball in an evening. Prizes are given for it in the shape of articles of small value, which are sgelocted by the winners from a long table in which they are disâ€" played. A game lasts about an hour, and is shared in by several hundred players, and the excitement amongst them for the.prizes is wonderful. I recomend this game to those who cater for the amusement of visitors at English wateringâ€"places. There is a good deal of motoring at Barlenbad, and the roads are by no means bad. The general opinion seems to be gaining ground that the best motor for a tour is one of comparatively small horseâ€"power and very lightly made. WThese light motors do not go so fast as the more powerful ones up mountaiss. But where the road is zigâ€"zaggy the heavy motor, with its long chassis, is apt to develop seaâ€"sickâ€" ness, and is far more dangerous where there are many sharp turnings with a precipice \ on one side.

Overcoats and overshirts and other articles of clothing are not made in nearly so great variety, but they are made in sizes enough to fill all normal requirements, and some unusual ones, es u.2 T uis . semmcuth e uiter l‘fqllll'l'l.llrllbn, ERERH EoRmR ETT ONCICT so that from the clothing _ regularly made and carried in stock the tactory can supply 95 per cent. of all deâ€" mands. % Some clothing, of extraordinary sizes or of very unusual proportions, is made for the individual users. If such should be required after a vessel has started on her cruise, it can be made abroad, by the ship‘s tailors, enlisted men who are rrmittt‘d, outside of their regular duty ours, to do such work, for which they receive pay from the sailor. All ships carry, besides their clothing stock, supâ€" plies of all sorts of cloths and materials, which can be issued as required. It used to be that many sailors made their own clothes, and there are still some sailors who do this, but the Deâ€" partment discourages this as far as it can, for the sake of securing uniformity. The sailor making hbis own clothes may get the collar of a jacket a little too narrow or too wide, or in some other garment depart from the standard measâ€" urements, and the Department likes to have its sailors‘ apparel uniform in apâ€" pearance, as it turned out at the naval ! clothing factory. â€" LWOW! uit 0 t o o ts e oenniidy ECCCE O Among the odd things turned out by the factory are baseball suits and prison suits,. The Navy Department gives an athletic equipment to every ship. There are made here a)so the rating badges, the various insignia of rank worn on sailâ€" ors‘ uniforms. The naval clothing factory is modern in its equipment. _ It has all the various applianees and apparatus required for the inspection and testing of cloths and other materials used, and the cutting of all garments is done with an electric knife, an implement that does its work with certainty and despatch ._The glectric i:nife has & t‘bin, slender blade, set vertically in the implement and working up and down like a sewing machine needle, but much faster, making 2,000 sarokes a minute. There is a handio at the back, which can be2grasped as easâ€" ily as a pair of shears could be held, and by it the knife blade can be guided in any direction. Eo o oo n i They lay down on a cutting table a large number of thicknesses of cloth, one upon another, with the pattern in which they are all to be cut marked on the top layer, and then the cutter goos at them with the clectric cutting knife, cutting all at once, and exactly alike. They cut eighty thicknesses of deninm, from which working trousers and jackâ€" ets, or jumpers are made, or ecighty thicknesses of white duck; and the knife will cut all at onee sixty thicknesses of overshirt, flannel, forty thicknesses of trousers cloth, or twenty thicknesses of overcoat cloth. _ When tne garments have been cut out they are done up in bundles of uniform numbers, according to the kind of garâ€" ment or the thickness of the material, together with the buttons and buckles and thread and silk and whatever othâ€" er trimmings may be required in the making of them, and then given out to be made; for the garments are not made up in the factory, but br oporatives outside the department who come for the work and take it home and finish the garments there. .

There are on the payâ€"roll of the factory» about 100 operatives, many of whom engage in the work other members of their families, it is probable that the number of persons actually engaged in the work of making these elothes is about 400. When the finished clothing comes it is inspected and then E:ked in boxes for shipment, the num of garments to a bale depending again on their charâ€" acter and the thickness of their matorâ€" ial, while some bales are packed with solid sizes of whatever the article may be and some are packed assorted; but the bales are all made small, and so packed that they will go to any disâ€" tance in safety. The bales are all compressed somewhat in a hbydraulic press, to save space, and each bale is wrapped in a waterproof covering, over which is sewed on a covâ€" ering of burlap.
