I missed them as 1 came through the trees.â€"What a delightful srening | 1 passed three years in Lonâ€" don, Mr. Digby ; but 1 never saw such an evening as this." He chattered away, as he stepped to the other side of the mule, keeping on without waitâ€" ing for the other‘s reply. * You have had a splendid day, but very hot down by the town. You have felt it cold up the mountain, Mr. Dighy ?" " Yes, very," said Digbhy shortly ; and be felt Helen press his hand gently, s if she were imploring him not to be angry. " But you could not have bhad a clearâ€" er day for the view. Did you feel the cold much, Miss Helen ? Tom Digby‘s right hand clenched, and as Heleon clung to his left, she felt his nerves and muscles quiver with rage. A curious sensation of faintness came over her, and she struggled to be firm, as she told berself that she might prevent some terrible encounter. But there was nothing of the kind, for Ramon came forward eagerly. "Ab, there you are!" be exclaimed. ‘ Had a pleasant day? Why, where are the sthers t*** " Did you not bear them ?" said Digâ€" by roughly. o s s " Noâ€"no," she said quietly. "I don‘t think it was very cold." "Generally is.

" le me give you a light." A match was struck, and by its light Digby caught a glimpse of the Spanâ€" iard‘s face, which was as calm and unâ€" ruffled as could be. Then they went on, and retook their places on either side of the mule. " I‘ve been very busy, too," continuâ€" ed Ramon. "Tired ; but was curious to hear how you had got on ; and yet half afraid that the crater had given way and swallowed you all up." "I wonder whether Senor Redgrave will lest me throw myself upon his hosâ€" pitality this evening? 1 called on my way up, and found that you had not returned. 1 left some fruit ; and there was a fragrance from the kitchen winâ€" dow that was maddening to a hungry man. Ab! here we are." For they bad come up to Redgrave and Fraser, who were standing beside the track. Digby felt tongueâ€"tied ; but Ramon chattered away. " You, Ramon t" said Redgrave, rathâ€" er sternly. $ " Yes, my dear sir, I thought I would go and meet them ; but 1 missed you. My dear Redgrave, I want you to give me a bit of dinner toâ€"night." " Certainly," replied Redgraveâ€"and he told a polite lise: " I shall be very happy." For the rest of the way Ramon did nearly all the talking ; and during the evening his conversation was fluent and highly interesting as be engaged Fraser in conmnvrersation about the antiquities of the place;, smoking cigars and sipâ€" ping his chocolate in the most unrufâ€" fled way. _ "Oh, yes; I have seen that. Why, you wl havre a boatâ€"load of specimens.â€" " You are making quite a collection of our minerals, 1 hear," he said in the course of the conversation. "* Yes; 1 bhave a good many." * Of course you examined the head of the barranco on the west side of the mountaiun $ t * No;, we have not been there yet." ? ‘" Not been! Why, my dear sir, that is the most interesting place of the whols. You should go there.â€"By the way, Redgrave, 1 suppose the nearest way would be right across my plantaâ€" tion $" " Decidedly," said Redgrave, who seemed puzzled by his visitor‘s urbanâ€" ity. "I daresay you Englishmen are disâ€" appointed at the absence of sport," he said. ‘"Very different from Norfolk, where I went on a visit when I was in England. Here we have partridges and rabbitsâ€"â€"that is all." vous 30 dn S " Yes,"" said Ramon thoughtfully ; ‘" that is certainly the best way. There is an interesting mummy cave there, too, about halfâ€"way along ; but you will certainly be delighted with the head of the barranco. There; 1 must say goodâ€"night. Going now, gentiemen?". __*"Yes," said Fraser, rising. "It is time we were back." Digby ross reluctantly ; but it was time t{my left ; so the customary adâ€" dois were said, Ramon making a point of going first, so that Digby had an opportunity to raise Helen‘s trembling hand to his lips. " Goodâ€"nightâ€"my darling," be whispered. "I shall tell Mr. Redgrave all." â€" *"* Marriages are made in heaven," be said to himsel{. "I feel helY- less; _ and perhaps Nelly _ herself may find the wu{ out of the difficulty, .I_I({, somehow, begin to like young Digby." ks The three guests of the villa went slowly down the track toward the litâ€" tle town, with Ramon chatting pleasâ€" antly about the island. . lC " Heaven protect him !" muttered the girl devoutly ; and she stood there at the door lâ€"stening till her father returnâ€" ed ; and then they lingered, each sliflt- ly uneasy, but ashamed to give their fears words, and being content to lisâ€" ten to the voices of the guests, as they came clearly up through the still nightâ€" alr Redgrave felt disposed to speak to his chlid before retiring for the night, bu the remained silent. 4 "We find Jfonty to amuse us," said raser quistly. n 4 t UNDER AN AFRIC SUN.

Digby grow more joyous; the saddemed look was rapidly passing away from Helen‘s face, and that of her father grow puzzled, wnllle iEraser‘s ssemed more sombre and sad. Ramon bhad fetched them _ to his place again and again, and had also begged leave to accompany them in two of their expeditions, finding horses and mules and proving himself a polâ€" ished and agreeable guide, taking them to various puints, whose marvels made Fraser forget his own wrouble in the excitement of discoveries dear to a nuturalist‘s bheart; while, after these journeys, Ramon always insisted upon the travellers accepting his hospitality. They hbad just finished dinner, and Ramon had I‘eft them for a time, one of h.s servants having cailed him away, a summons which, aiter many apoioâ€" gies, he had obeyed, leaving the friends togeiher, when pushing the jug of exâ€" cellent French claret towards his comâ€" panion, Lighy, who was slightly flushâ€" ed exclaimed : ‘‘‘Taste that, my boy, and confess that our host is a charming fellow and a polishesd gentleman." "Yes, I confess to these," said Fraâ€" ser gravely ; and just then Ramon reâ€" appeared at the door, bearing a fresh box of cigars, which he handed to his guests and resumed his seat.

DAUGHTER OF AN EMPRESS CHAPTER VIL (To Be Continued.) ONTARIO ARCHI TORONTO CANADA‘S TRADE IS EXPANDING YEAR BY YEAR. Over Seven Million Dollars Greater in 1896 Than in 1895â€"List of the Articles Which Make up the Aggregate In crease The trade and navigation returns for the fiscal year ending 30th June last are now to hand. With their grand totals the public was made acquainted several months ago, when the summary statement appeared. Happily, the inâ€" formation is of a kind that cannot be communicated to the people too soon. It shows that we are going on adding to our commercial successes, and that we have made a new record in our foreign trade. OUR EXPORTS INCREASING Our sxports amounted to $121,013,852, exceeding by $7,375,049 those of the year before, and scoring the highest mark ever reached in Canadian trade. They close also a great halfâ€"decade in our export trade, of which the figures are as follows:â€"1892, $113,963,375 ; 1893, $118,564,352 ; 1894, $117,524,949; 1895, $113,638,803 ; 1896, $121,013,852. Before that period our exports kept below the hunsiredâ€"million line except in the year 1882, when they rose to $102,137,â€" 203. What makes the progress of the last five years the more remarkable is the fact that it was _ contemporary with one of the worst depressions of the century. Our great gain last year was made in the face of adverse circumâ€" stances. The prices of some of our chief staplesâ€"as cheese, bacon, catltle, horses, and lumberâ€"were low. ° In some of our agricultural products the crops were short, especially so in hay. In spite of these drawbacks, the inâ€" dustry and enterprise of the country rolled up &n export trade surpassing that of 1895 by $7,375.049. Some of the particular increases which make up this big aggregate increase are indicated in the following list :â€" 1895. 1896. Goldâ€"bearing quartz, dust, stc: ... ... ../§ Silver in one ... ...

Another gratifying feature of the export trade of last year is its growth in the British market. The United Kingdom took from us in the last fiscal year produce to the value of $66,690,238, as against $61,855,990 in 1895. For our bacan and hams, as for our cheese, the British demand keeps on steadily expanding. A foodstuff in which the year‘s sales show large in« crease is butter. In 1895 we sold abroad butter to the value of $709,126; in 1896 our butter exports amounted to $1,118,768.

In square timber, too, our exports have increasâ€" ed biy nearly a million, the credit be« ing largely due to the demand of the Mother Country.

When he came down in the morning the purse was gone and there was a big hole in his plate glass window. > The steady increase in England‘s new construction is shown by the, fact that while three years ago $23,840,000 was considered sufficient for the annual conâ€" tribution, two years ago the amount was made $31,155,000 and last year $35,â€" 8253,000. Thus it had increased more than oneâ€"haif in two years. Of course, the full naval expenditures include also the enormous sums for the maintenance of existing ships. & Alejandro Ruiz, a Mexican antiquarâ€" ian and traveller, whose collection of antique curios, paintings, and carvings, fills a private museum at his home in Puebla, Mex., at the age of 70 years is learning the English language as a means of occupying his time.

It is fourteen feet square, with a depth of three feet, and weighs 80,000 pounds. A special car had to be built to transport it, and as no weight above seventeen tons is permitted on roadways and bridges of New Orleans, a special track had to be run for about a mile there from the main line of the railroad to the cemeâ€" try. The slab is a part of a monument which will be seventy feet high. Â¥iews of What it Should Beâ€"What France and Russia Are Doing. Before long the naval programme for the coming year will be considered in the British House of Commons, and in view of that fact the Pail Mall Gazette discusses what is needed. Of the ships now in hand and not completed there are eightyâ€"three in all, nearly half, however, being torpedo deâ€" stroyers, which can easily be finished before iong. In addition, five battle ships of the Majestic class are nearly ready, and should be in commission this year, while six of the secondâ€"class are virtuaily finished. Several other ships are nearly ready. As a whole naval construction in England is EXTRAORDINARILY RAPID and in that respect she is ahead of all the rest in the vorld. The five newest battle ships, however, are little advanced. The Canopus and the Goliath were only laid down on Jan. 4, the Ocean is mot yet begun, and the Albion and Glory have been put out ta contract. England‘s naval work is largely regâ€" ulated by what France and Russia are doing, her principle being always to have as .arge a force available as these two countries combined. Now, in the three years just spoken of, the dual alâ€" liance had laid down only nine firstâ€" class battleâ€"ships to England‘s ten, two small battle ships, the same number of firstâ€"class cruisers as England, four small cruisers, and fewer torpedo boats. So far, therefore, England is satisfied; but the authority quoted thinks that to maike assurance doubly sure, it would be well to provide for laying down five knots building, and Germany has five. We want then, from four toeight of 23 Owing to a coal war, people of Jasâ€" ENGLAND‘S NAVAL PROGRAMME. â€"ail> 0 amm Having Completed our New Factory we are now prepared to FILL ALL ORDERS PROMPTLY.
