She gazes at me, and I fancy that there is a longing in her eyes. Snpcrlatively dowered though she is, she yet lacks that which crowns and blesses my life. I kiss her, and ut baby into her arms. Her pale face is idden by the rosy one. \Vhen she raises her head Will's checks are wet, and she wipes away the tear-drops nervously.

Ah, that is itl lam slow to reply, not knowing what answer to make. With 'pain I have watched Will and Judith lately. They have persistently avoided each other. \Vill, who thinks it right that Judith, heiress of Na inc and Ellerslie, shall not be driven by 01 recollections into an engagement With him, is positively cold and haughtyfo her. She, deeming that his manner implies that he has ceased to care for her, is careful not to seek him. They are drifting aOart, scarcely knowing wherefore.

If I am quick I shall be at the Vicarage by luncheon. time ; and while I eat and drink I can scold Will as he deserves. I walk brisklyâ€"it is stinging coldâ€"and arrive at the Vicarage sooner than I anticipated. only however to find my walk has been in vain. \Vill isont, is not expected in till night ; thercfore it is useless my waiting to see him.

I dried my eyes, and thought that would go for a stroll, for my head schod, and I thought that the wind would drive it 3 away. I stole from the house, not wishing to be seen. I wanted solitude, and if I were observed I should lose all chance of it. Taking the high road, I wandered hocdlessly alon . By-and-by I found myself by the broo whore \V'ill onco saved my life. It was summer-time than, winter now. Then the fields were in bloom, and the skies were blue and sunny; now sunshine was but a memory.

For my- self, I preferred brown-bearded, hroad-shoub dared men, like one I had once met; but this, of course, was a more matter of taste, and Rose, had she had been present, would probably not have agreed With me in the least. Herbert took a photographic album all the table and began playng with it nervously. ” You are offended with inc, Cathie 2 " he said. \Vhy should you be! I cannot bring 'our sister back to life again.

I followed the direction of his eyes, and there, leaning against the window-sill, in the night, was the man whom I had urged to consider in the light of a suitor for my handâ€"Cyril Vane. CHAPTER V. Seeing that he was observed, Cyril step- ped in through the open window. I intro duced him to Herbert, and the two men looked one another over somewhat coolly and distantly. As far as I could judge, it appeared to me as if Cyril was not in the most amiable temper. I retreated to the firr place, and Herbert followed me. The large photo ph of Rose above the mantelpicce looked owu at us. I remember everything that passed during that evening with the utmost distinctness, for it was one of the last of my days of freedom. The chains were fast being forged which were to hold me captive for many a weary day. I had not yet accepted Cyril Vane; on the contrary, I had given him to under- stand as plainly as I could that his atten- tions were distasteful to me; yet he obsti- nater persisted in forcing them on my notice. It is quite true that I had not yet said " No ” to him in plain words, simply because he had not given me the chancetodo so. He had with admirable diplomacy applied so far to my father and not to myself. I had some fl)WCI3 in one hand, and _I began to arrange them mechanically. “ Do you remember," I asked Herbert softly, "how fond Rose was of these, and how constantly she wore them 2 " I held up a spray of creamy white rose- buds as I spoke. Then still softly, I addedâ€" “ Mr. Vane met her while she was in town, and thought her over-praised." My words were spoken almost in a whis- per, yet Cyril at once caught them. “ I thought her beautiful," he said, with a sudden flash from his fierce black eyes which astonished me. “You are mistaken if you think I did not admire her." "Every one admired her," said Herbert stiflly. “ But I was not aware that you were acquainted with her,” he added, still in a constrained tone. “I do not recollect having had the pleasure of meeting you any time when I was with her." Cyril laughed softly to himselfâ€"it was al- most a sneer. “ I think she had many acquaintances of whom you knew nothing,” he said. “ Every one thought her handsome,” re- turned Herbert, in his languid way. “ But I had no occasion for jealousy, I assure you.” "Handsome!" repeated Cyril scornfully, flashing out again in a burst of admiration, fierce in its passionate intensity. “ Hand- some is no word for her. She was ” ‘A daughter of the gods, divinely tall And most divinely fair.” “ Thank you,” I said, turning to Cyril in- voluntarily, with almost the first smile I had ever given him. “That is a compliment which is worthy of her." He did not reply ; his eyes fell before mine, and he moved a step or two away from me. I felt that for some unaccountable renew the atmosphere was getting stormy. The two men were gazmg at each other with disdain and hatred in their glances; they seemed to be on the brink of quarreling about a girl whose youth and beauty were now only a memory to us all. ” Who will open some of these English papers for me 2 " I asked, in order to create a diversion. “'lhe mail is just in, and I have not had time to look at any of them at." y Cyril at once took up a paper knife and hastened to obey my request. He showed an eager desire to please me, and I felt half troubled that I could not respond more grate- fully to his desire to make himself agreeable to me. Herbert rose to go. “I am going to have a talk with your father, Cathie," he said, as he moved away. As he passed my chair he stooped a little and whisperedâ€"- " If what I hear is true, I confess I pity you. He seems to have an‘wful temper." I took no notice of the words, and Her- bert went out, hummingâ€"- “ If she be not fair for me, What care I for whom she be?" 0 C Q Q Q At lastâ€"how can I bearto write it2â€"'â€"they wrung from me a reluctant consent. The steady daily pressure brought to bear upon me both by father and Cyril Vane broke down my poor defences one by one and forced me at length to come to terms With the enemy- I need scarcely add, after say- ing this, that I did not love Mr. Vane, even though I had at last consented to become his wife. But then I did not love any one; I only felt a little more interest in one man whom I had once met than in any other; that was all. I had no one to take my part in declining to accept Cyril Vane, and it was this which eventually compelled me to agree to his pro~ posal. My father's was the iron hand in the velvet love; he was not unkind to me, yet he won d not allow me to have any will of my own. If Rose had lived, she would have stood by me, even against my father, and never would she have allowed me to be forced into a marriage that was distasteful to me. If llose had lived! But llose was gcne. " To where, beyond those voices, there was peace.” My father and Cyril hastened on the mar~ rings. My father was anxious to sell his property and leave the Colony for England as soon as possible; I was an obstacle in the way to this, and the sooner I ceased to ob- struct his path the better. Mrs. Hollandâ€"oh, how she and I cried at the thoughts of parting lâ€"was to stay for a time with some relatives of here in town, and then she was to look out for another sit- uation for herself. She was too clever and superior a woman to have much difficulty in procuring one. I had wanted to take her with mo to my new home, but Cyril, on being consulted, at once said “ No." I might have endeavoured to carry out my point, but my father considered that Mrs. Holland was addicted to spoiling and humoring me too much, and that it would be hotter she should be parted from me, for a time at any rate ; so I had no choice but to submit. I fancy he thought that I should make Cyril a lnure obedient and docile wife if I had no one to uphold me in any faint at~ tempts at rebellion I might feel disposed to ofler: so with many tears Caroline Holland and I made up our minds to say farewelL This ’however was the only request of mine that Cyril ever dreamed of refusing. In all other requests be consulted my wishm to the minuteat item. Gladiator was to be sent over to Peru Brookâ€"which was the name of Cyril's stationâ€"dome days be- fore the wedding; he was to haves luxuri- ous loose box, and the utmost care was to be lavished on him in every way. Cyril bad entirely refurnisbed his house in accordance with my taste, as faras he could gather what that was. He often brought me costly pres- ents. Sly father constantly praised his devotion to me, and told me that be was a model lover. At last the day drew near; I could make no further excuses for any longer delay. My father was to leave on the very day of my wedding, and to be on board the vessel the same night ; his boxes as well as mine were ed and in readiness for a journey. Mrs. olland had completed all my sewing, save what was done in town, and, with much scr- rowonbothsides,sbe and I hadparted. Herbert Tempest had sent me a beautiful mid brooch studded with diamonds.

The Tupi word piranha is a contraction of pira sainlia, meaning “toothed fish." The same word is used by the Indians to describe a pair of scissors. of these savage piranhas, some being more There are several species than two feet long. They make nothing of biting an ounce or so of flesh from a man’s leg. People are sometimes killed by them. Hence Brazilians are shy of going into these lakes and streams if they suspoct the pres- enco of these fish. The fishermen claim that piranhns will gather in schools against the larger fish and attack them. If one of their own number is at all wounded by mis- take he is mercilessly set upon and devoured by his companions. It is useless to try to use nets where this fish is found. They would spoil it not in a few minutes. Another dangerous fish of these waters is the sting-ray. He lies flat on the bottom, his dark upper surface being hardly seen through the muddy streams. If left undis- turbed the creature is harmless enough. But a careless waderin the shallows may etc on the flat body, and then the great bar ed sting inflicts a wound that benumbs the whole body and makes the sufferer speechless with pain. Persons have been lamed for life by such a wound. A curious fish called Anubleps tetroplith- almus is often seen there. Its eyes are divided, so that each has two pupilsyof these the upper pair are for the air and the lower for the water. This singular fish swims near the surface and near the shore, and if chased does not dive. A large fish named caruanais mostly taken at night. Men go out in boats with lighted torches and spear the fish with great skill and rapidity. . It is said you may (ftcn see a native with his bow and arrow standing like a statue on some overhanging bank watching for a fish to pass. \Vhen a fish comes near the bow is drawn quick as light, and the arrow hardly leaves a ripple as it cuts through the water. It requires the keenest skill to ob- tain fish by these means, and the fisherman must also allow for the refraction of the water, or he will certainly miss his mark. Yet many of the large iraulias are procured in this way. Good ishiug de ends, first, upon the flooding of the river, w ich fills all the valley lakes and channels with water and entices the fish out of the greats streams; then, second, such a falling of the floods as leaves many of these channels and lakes separated from the river. Thus the fish are imprisoned in shoal water and nar- row quarters and more easily taken. Other- wise the present confrivances for procurio cod fish by these native fishermen would 6 entirely inadequate. “'allace, Smith, and others who have made recent explorations of the Amazon all speak of its prospects as a future highway of commerce. They also dwell much upon the abundant and even luxuriant natural ro- sourccs of the entire region with which this great river and its tributaries are connected. " The Collector." It is always the fate of a man who tries to collect an old bill to get snubbed. Now we think of it, the old bill collector who trudges painfully through the streets from day to day, trying ever to find the man who is over trying to dodge him, ought to have more sympathy. His only business is to - suade delinquents to pay their just debts, and yet everybody looks on him very much as a sailor looks on a craft that has raised the black flag of piracy. I’oor follow I He has ahard time of it trying to catch sight of the man who has just gone round the comer, who will be back in five minutes, so the clerk says, but who never comes back until the old bill collector has gone.
