"Learoyd, did you say?" asked Virgie, calmly stepping between her sister and "«Yes ; I wonder if you ever knew Frank?

"That is right. O, I forgot to tell you why we are giving a large party so early in the season; our cousin, Frauk Learoyd, who had just arrived from Europe, and Mrs. Learoyd, my cousin Frank‘s wile, will be here next week. Clara and Virgie laughed, their kind friend‘s ruse was so transparent, and proâ€" mised to attend if they could make their dresses at all presentable. "Then you must come! If my guests don‘t like your gowns they can go home. leally, I have a selfish imotive in insisting," said Mrs. Harmon (who had not a seliish bone in her body), in a confidential tone. "If you do not come those gossipping Chutterton girls will say I did not ask you because, having hired musicians, 1 did not need your nimble fingers to play dancing music for us." «‘No, they are not with a white over dressâ€"" "We should disgraco your guests! We don‘t care as far as we are concerned, butâ€"" "The truth is, neither Virgie nor I have a decent dress to wear," said Clara. "Durâ€" ing the warm weather our plain lawns answered very well, but we are positively destitute of party dresses; even our black silks are shabby." "No, indeed," exclaimed the sisters earnestly. "I hope not!" "1i you really thank me, you‘ll say yes," interrupted Mrs. Harmon. â€" "Have you any resson for your no? Surely neither Julius nor I have offended you?" Mrs. Harmon did not like to have any of pet plana marred ; in fact, it was someâ€" thing to which she was quite unused.

Mr. Ormsby had lived close up to his large income, and his sudden death left his wife and daughters penniless. The two girls strugzgled foraliving in New York Learoyd, of whom she had been so fond. In the midet of his wrath he was stricken when Clara refused to tell him her reasons for so suddenly, at the eleventh hour, "I have just learned the shameful secret of your life. Can you wonder that I feel too bitter towards you to wish to see you ? Of course our marriage can never take place. A thousand divorees would never excuse the fact that Letitia Rundell could toâ€"day call herself Mrs, Learoyd. Weâ€" you, Virgie and Iâ€"can keep our own counsel. I shall simply tell my parents that I have decided not to marry you. You need never write to or call upon me ; from henceforth we are strangers." Mr. Ormsby flew into a terrible rage Clara took no one but Virgie into her confidence; her father was a proud hotâ€" tempered man, and she feared for Frank‘s life if he heard even a whisper of a strange tale. The two girls went to Brooklyu, where the minister and witness referred to resided, aud were convinced that the woman had spoken the truth,. Then Clara wrote to Frank. 1 **What eare I who believesit! You beâ€" lieve it; he knows it. Marry him, and in less than twontyâ€"four hours he will be arâ€" rested for bigrmy. It rests with you to keep this matter quict, for I am too much disgusted with him to proclaim myself is deserted wife unless necessity compels. I see you hardly credit my tale. Here, copy the address of the officiating minister and the witnesses; now see thetn and decide for yourself whether you will aid him in committing bigamy." "But no one will believe it unless they see your letters and the certificate. I must have them." _ "O, you are mistakenâ€"" ) "Am I! I think not. You are encnced ‘ to Frank Learoyd, son of Gustave Lear« yd, of Fifth Avenue and Foityâ€"sizth Street. That is the young man whom J claim as busbaud. See, here is his photographâ€" here is my marriage cortificateâ€"here are letters where he calls me ‘wife.‘ Are you convineed ?" "I must show these to my fatherâ€"" "No, they do not leave my hands. I hate the fellow now as I once loved him; he woed and won me, a poor farmer‘s daughter, and then cast me off because hs was ashamed of my humble origin and of my ignorance. Ask him if he remembers Letitia Rundell." _ ‘"Don‘t blame the man, Miss Ormsby. I was determined to see you, and I followâ€" ed him. You expect to be married to Frank Learoyd, toâ€"morrow, I hear?" "Yes," Clara roplied briefly. "I regrct to be a spoilâ€"sport, but must interfere." "You? What rightâ€"" "The best right in the world. I am his wife." "O, you are mistakenâ€"" ‘ Six years had elapsed since those garâ€" ments had seen the light of day. Clara Ormsby, the youngest daughter of doting parents, able and willing to make their children‘s life one long festal day, was sitâ€" ting in her father‘s librery writing one or two notes, one sweet June morning when a servant ushered in a stranger. Clara looked up, as much annoyed as any one of her sweet temper could be, and was about to reprove the man for bringing a guest in there, when the latter said : What emotions filled Clara‘s heart as she lifted out the dresses that had lain away so long, or how much courage it reâ€" quired to gaze upon the unused veil, wreath, gloves, slippers, etc., Virgie could only guess. Her sister‘s face was calmn and impassive. "Awkward! No. Five years of toil and , absence from all fashionable gatheringa | could hardly make us that. Shabby! Well ‘ â€"" said Virgie laughing, _ ®The trunks that I locked on what was to be my wedding day eontained finery enough, I think. My pale blue silk can be mnude over for youâ€"" "0, Clara, 1 cannot take it !" "Yes, you can, dear, rnd you must, i shall wear my white silk." "Your wedding drese ?" "Yes ; I shall never need it in that caâ€" pacity: He is nothing to me, why should I treasuree that dress any longer? Come, l‘ let‘s go now and examine the dresses." \ "That I had not strength to meet Fâ€" her husband. They shall seo of what stuff I am made! And poor as we, are toâ€"day, I, a daily governess, you a telegraph operator, they shall find us neither shalby nor awkward !" "Just as you say, dear Clara. I think myself, that it is better for us to go; otherâ€" wise Mrs. Learoyd might sayâ€"" Virgie, we must go to Louisa‘s party. If the Learoyd‘s remain long with her, we cannot help meeting theim, and the sooner our encounter is over the better." Late that evening, while Virgie was wondering what effect the return of Frank Learoyd, Clara‘s first and only love, would have upon their lives, Clara said : "Yes, I did know the family, I think. You say he is your cousin?" continued Virgie. "He is my husband‘s cousin, andâ€"" To Clara‘s relief other visitors entered and Mrs. Harmon went away. mensely wealthy, and this Frank was the only son; therefore, andâ€"" "Dear Louisa, this dress was made sis years ago for my weddingâ€"dress but was locked up ever since." "O, I beg pardon ? I didn‘tknowâ€"I bad no intention. How brilliant the moon is ! "How delightfully cool you look! I deâ€" clare, Clara, you and Virgie, are frauds of the first magnitude. You said you had nothing to wear to my party, and here you are in the loveliest creamâ€"whnite silk I ever "If I wished to! Clara, unless you loved me as I loved you, you can never know how I suffered! Remember, too, that your note was vegne; you did not say that you supposed me to have married her, I thought you felt the family dirgraced by Frank‘s action, as we did, and scorned to ally yourâ€" self with it." "O, Frank, how could you think so ?" "Frank! Clara! are you here?" and Louisa Tarmon, with her usual unintenâ€" tional maladriotness, interrupted their conâ€" versation. Clara explained all the cireumstances which eaused her to credit it, adding: **Why, did you not explain matters then? You might as easily have done soâ€"If you wished to." "Before the one that was to have made me the happiest man in America but which did make me the most miserable, our wedâ€" ding day," said Frank, utterly ignoring the last figure of the moonlit verandah, where, sccording to all rules, she ought to have taken asevere cold, but she did not. "How could you have believed such a ale, Clara 2" "‘The day beforeâ€"" and Clara hesi tated. "So, so! She took her vengeance that way, did she? She told that 1 was her husband 2 When ?2" "So she is. You surely have heard of Frankâ€"you forget," persisted he, secing that she looked puzzled, "it was his cursed folly in marrying that Letitia Rundell, thatâ€"" "Was it he! But she showed me your picture !" "I certainly understood Mrs. Harmon to speak of her as Mrs. Frank Learoyd," anâ€" swored Clara, in surprise. "Myâ€"O, you mean Sophie! Yes, her father was a German. But you have made a slight error; she is not my wife, but my cousin‘s," said Frank. "Her husband, who is in the navy, is now in the Mediterâ€" ranpean." "I think your wife has one of the sweetest faces I ever saw. Surely, she is Germanâ€"she is such a perfect blonde." After a little such desultory chat as might have taken place between the veriest strangers, Clara said : _ Virgie found a moment in which to reâ€" late Frank‘s history to Clara before the dancing commenced, and the thought that he might have claimed her and did not, nerved Clara to such a degree that she moved through the lancers without one particle of the selfâ€"consciousness, the emâ€" barrassment she had expected to feel. "And in those three years of freedom Frauk never once thought of poor, dear Clara! Inconsistant creature!" said Virgie to herself after her hostess moved away. Clars and Frank both laughed ; the latter «No harm done, Louisa. No ghost of a "No; that would have made the scandal too public. Fortunately for him, the creaâ€" ture died (of delirium tremens) about five years ago." "And then he married again." **Yes; but not immediately. He and Sophie have been man and wife scarcely two years." "Hush?" exclaimed Mrs. Harmon, lcnutioualy, "you are thinking of my cousin Frank‘s first wife, a dreadful creature! I !c:‘.n't imagine how you ever heard of her. HMe married her when he was a mere boy and in a fit of intoxication ; she was a low, vile woman and imarried liim for money. His relatives came to his reseue, and not only bought her off, but so thoroughly openel his eyes to her character that he never saw her after his unlucky wedding. day. Why do you know she was so wicked, so desparute that she not only vowed venâ€" geance on the uncle and cousin who were foremost in Frank‘s defense, but actually tried to kill them ?" "Louisa," said Virgie Ormsby, when the two were alone together for a moment, "did you not call your cousin Sophie?" "Yes. Why?" said Mrs. Harmon. "I thought she was a tall, coarsefeatured brunette, with a deep voice and tragic manâ€" ner, and I am sure that her uzme was Lotitia."

At dusk they @pprosched the mill, which stands near the bank of the river Nottawa. At the mill the officers found John Still, jr., and his brother James, engaged piling lumber. On being questioned regarding the suspected whiskey distilling, the brothâ€" ers stoutly denied all knowledge of anyâ€" thing of the kind. Seeing that there was ’ur-thing to be got out of these men, the ofâ€" ficers at once proceeded to make a search. Between the taill and the edge of th« river is a large mound, composed, to all outward appesrance, of sswdust. On jumping on this mound, however, the ofâ€" ficers thought it gave out a sort of hollow sound. Proceeding on this supposition a search was instituted in the mill to see whether an entrance could be found leadâ€" ing to this mound. Such a pgssage way could not be found at first, buthe omccâ€"rs‘ made a discovery that couvinced them that there was a distillery in the mound. While engaged digging among Ahe sawâ€" dust they found eight jars of yeast hid close to the engine, which occupies a poâ€" sition about the centre. Feeling confident that they were on the right scent, the offiâ€" cers sounded the walls of the mill, the floors, and every other place where they thought a passage might be socated, but they were mpw‘m They then "srocked" whiskey had been conveyed from that neighborhood last Friday. How correct these suspicion were will be seen in what follows :â€" (From the Globe of Friday.) One of the most extensive seizures which has been made by the officers of the Inland Revenue Department for some years back took place on Tuesday night last, at a eawâ€" mill occupied by John Still, jr., on a farm owned by his father, John Still, sr., part of Lot 15, 1st concession of Mono, about ’u mile east from the village of Camilla, on the Prince of Wales‘ Road, and distant ahout seven miles from Oranceville. ‘The seizure was made by Chief Inspector Godâ€" son, and Collector Morrow, of the Departâ€" ment in Toronto, assisted by officers Relâ€" ’dan and McPherson. The district when‘ this last seizure was made, is somewhat notorions in connection with the illicit disâ€" tilling of whiskey, as seizures of distillery apparatus have been made before in the neighborhood, and particularly some three years ago in the township of Adjala, which lies to the east of Mono. At one time also a still or some cther picce of machinery used for the purpose of manufrcturing whiskey, was found in the barn of the olâ€" der Still. For havingthis in his possession he was brought before a Magistrates‘ Court in the district but was discharged. Becruse of the notoriety attaching to this district, the Revenue officers in Toronto, when it was hinted that an illicit still was in ful} blast somewhere theréabout, at onee prickâ€" ed up their ears and proceeded to make enquiries. â€" Suspicion attached to the sawâ€" mill above referred to more especially as it had been stated that two barrels of EXTENSIVE AND TMPORTANT s®IZURE LAND REVENUE OFFICERS, "Dear afrs. Harmon, you are always so successful with your entertainments. Mrs. Harmon‘s party is with us a synonym for all that is delightful." Manufacture of "Crooked Whiskey" in Mono. The few solomm wotds were uttored, the ring that had been in readiness six long years, was slipped on Clara‘s fioger, and when the twain was made one, Frank pushed aside the flimsy veil, creased and yeilow with six your‘s waiting, and pressed a husband‘s kiss upon her lips. This pleasant episode did not spoil Mrs. Harmon‘s party, you may be sure. Everyâ€" body exclaimed : ""Thevery thing! Louisa, you‘re a trump!" exclaimed Frank. "I haven‘t parted with woat was to be the weddingâ€"ring; here it is on my watéhâ€"chain, ready for use." #T‘ll warrant Clura‘s saved her veil," said Lonisa. Frauk pleaded so ably, and Virgie and Louisa, not to say Clara‘s own heart nided him so nobly, that about two hours later Mrs. Harmon‘s guests had a surprise. Just before supper a whisper ran around that ‘something, no one could say what, was going to happen. Suddenly the band struck up the familâ€" inr weddingâ€"march; the bishop, in full canomicals, entered the parlors, followed by Mr. and Mrs. Harmon, Mrs. Learoyd and Virgie Ormsby, and Frank with Clara in Bridal nttire, leaning on his arm. vOf course notâ€"how absurd! laughed Clara. "O, what a pity to waste such a lovely dress! You couldn‘t ntilize dear? Bishop Episcopus, who has just come in to look ai our merriment, and be married now, could you?" suggested she, half in jest. Then ensued an ;xpl;nllio'z;in which Louisa was almost as much interested as the parties most concerned. romance disinterred.

So Frank and Clara Learoyd thinks were on An immense volumn of evidence was taken, and although theâ€" dicision of the Commissioner bas not been made public, any person who has read the evidence may saufely perdict what the dicision will be. After careiul purusal of the evidence, from beginming to end, we have no hesitation in saying that there was not the slightest shadow of a foundation for the charges to ‘ rest on. On the contrary it was clearly and conclusively proven that the members of the Comumittee had neted with thorough indepengence and honesty so far as the transactions complained off are eoncerned, and that the charges had for their busis only malevolence, iealousy, and disappointâ€" ed ambition. In fact the inquiry places the accused in a more favorable and enviâ€" able light before the public. The result is that the reputations of these men have been made to shine all the more brightly by the searching ordoal through which they have passed, and without forestalling the dicision of theJudge, we would say, that the charges are unfounded ; that the men who bave been accused are innocent. of the charges made, and that the action of the Central Committee will be sustained in evrything that they have done.â€"Guelph Lagislature at its next session is given by the Credit Valley Railwry Company, to legalize byâ€"laws granting municiple aid to the Company, and for consolidating the Acts relating to the Company. Beveral hundred women whose familes are suffering in consequence of the stopâ€" page of the iron works in the Forest of Dega, which belongs to the crown, have peâ€" titiened the Queen for assistance. The Contral Comumittee 1s composed of several of the lending educationalists of tue Province, such as Professor Young, Mr. McLellan, Inspector of High Schools, Mr. Hughes, and Mr. Glashen, Inspector of Public Sehools, &¢. The dutirs of the Committee are to advise the Minister of Education respecting the conduct of the educational | system â€" of the Province. Among other things the Comumittoe reeâ€" eccmmended text books for authorizetion and its members prepare the exnmination papers for enndidates for pullic school teachers certificates. The investigation as to the doings of the Central Committee in connection with the Educational Department closed last week in Toronto, and we may eny that the inquiry wes conducted in the fairâ€" est spirit by Mr. Justice Patterson. The charges which were brought under the noâ€" tice of the Commission were (1) that there is within the Central Committee a "ring," the members of which have improper reâ€" lations with the pullishing house of Adam Miller & Co, of Toronto ; and (2) that there has been collusion between the memâ€" bers of the Committee and certain parties interested in the work or results of examâ€" nations they are appointed to conduct.
