There was so much to be seen ; the horses in their stables; the stall‘fed cattle in their lon feeding-sheds, looking sleek and sleepy as f. ey waited fontheirmexh-meal or inedi- cated over the last ; the pig cries, with lit- tle pigs and big pigs, ugly, )ut delightfully amusing :the fields that Were being meadow- ed and the fields that ware being -cut ;. and the large waterâ€"meadows in the heart of the valley, where the little herd of Alderneys, General Msckenzio’s ride and pleasure, looked up at you grave y out of their deer- : like ayes. All this was familiar to Milly. On the delightful afternoon when her dear Colonel , Lyndon had begged a holiday for her, she tasted a new pleasure in seeing her paradise through the eyes'of Letty, 'who, on her side, was as pleased as a child with her new ex- periences. All the kind people at the farm made much of her. Janet led the way, showing her everything, and the general pulled them up now and then to listen to his explana- tions ; and Colonel Lyndon, as genuinely happy as any of them, brought up the rear with Milly and Veronica, making various ignorant suggestions about new methods of iarinin -suggestions that provoked the genera s» deep-chested ’ laughter, and. Soon Letty’s blue eyes were sparkling, and her 1 cheeks had grown rosy again. . l Rapidly did the hours of the afternoon; and the long tranquil evening slip away. g Tea was sent at half-past four into the l meadow, and supper was spread out in the ; verandah at eight, when kind Mrs. Macken- ; sic, who took a motherly interest in Letty, ; made her sit by her side, and asked her one or two questions about herself: asked them so kindly and tenderly, that the young girl ‘ had no difficulty in answering. _ _ It was certame perverse of the i colonel. Veronica Brown on one side l ‘ of him, and General Mackenzie on the other, were doing their best to be entertaining, and, as a general rule, the task of amusing him was easy enough. It was, . not so now. lie-neglected twice to answer ! questions'addressed to him by Miss Browne, ' and when he was told by the general of his breach of good Amanners, he was deeply apologetic '; but in a few moments his thoughts .wouldbs wandering off againâ€"“to ; the clouds,” his friends said, which made‘ the honest old‘soldier blush, for lie knew it g was not so far as theclouds that his thoughts ; had gone. ’He was listening, in spite of ; himself, to the low-toned talk‘ across the; table, and hisgreat kind heart was so full of ' compassion and sympathy as to be complete: l ly unable, for the moment to take‘in any- thing else. 7 _ , p Y Supper was nearly over. indeed, whet-ate largely he thought it worth his while to eat at all i had not finished his second plate of straw- - The general, l ermission to get up from the table, and anet had followed her out, and Mrs. Mac- r . kenzie and hetty Were still deep in talk. ; Suddenly Veronica, who had finished! eating, got up, and asked Colonel Lyndon l w to go with her as far as a little group [of g trees above the lawn. There was ‘ a good view of the house to be had from there. I , . ‘.‘ It will. take us five minutes to go, and} analyse her feelings five minutes to come back,” she said, when ‘ ‘r he dcmurred on the plea of time, “ and your trap cannot be put up in less_,'ti_ine, than that.” She spoke with a slightly'imperioug' manner, for she had not been accustomed to contradiction. It was only in this occa- sional imperionsness that Veronica showed herself; the rich and much-indulged woman whom all the world was envying. {r - Hcr‘ object in drawing Colonel Lyndon aside was to speak to him about Letty, in whom, as she had not failed to see, he took 0. warm interest ; but when, in obedience to her request, he set~off to walk with her to her favorite point of view, she felt a difficulty in entering upon the subject, which was altogether new to her. . He opened the conversation by making a simple remark about the beauty of the valley. Veronica answered him absentlv, fora lit-lie conflict was going on in her mind. She might befriend Letty without asking Colonel Lyndon’s advice. Did she really wish for his advice, or was was it only that sin: desired ,to. rocommend herself in his eyes !. It ‘was tlie"first: time the proud .Vcronica had _ever,wished forecommend . herself particularly; funny one, and she cnuldnot altogether understand her feelings. “Colonel Lyndon,” she said abruptly, “ I want to speak to youâ€"to ask your ad- ‘.'ice. The fact is"~â€"so far as she could judge of his expression, he looked surprised â€"â€"-" I can't get that poor little thing, Letty Morrison, out of in head. I want to help her. How is it to done ‘2” A curious feelin of annoyance swept over the coluuel's min [as Veronica asked him, this question. Not being able to answer it after the off-hand manner in which it was put “a fashion which was the result of em- lu‘ iu‘snicnt, and not, as he might have thought. of want of feelingâ€"he was silent, and sln‘ went on hurriedly, ” I am rich, and I should liketo use my ,riches' in making utiu‘t’ people happy.

To Janet’s amazement her light question . was answered seriously. “ Perhaps it is the moors,” said Veronica. “ or perhaps it is a new experience.

It was arranged to build'a'railroad twenty-nine ' miles long, from the mines to the nearest navigable water; that is, to L'utai on the Feb Tan «Ho. It was then, in‘ 1878, that Mr. Kin er went out as a resident engineer. Before the railroad work could be begun the authorities had decided to operate a canal" twenty-one miles long to a point within seven miles of the colliery, and to connect the canal and colliery by a tramway, to be ,warked Ib'y'fmuleg ; this Was done. Fortunately the gauge‘bf 4 feet 85 inches Was, after much difficulty, sanctioned, but it was stipulated’that no locomotives should be used, but before the track was completed this had virtually become a dead letter. The country was ens ,‘ but several‘ sharp curt es were introdiic to ‘avoid graves. Subse- quently, the owners of these graves object- ing to the noise so near the bones of their , ancestors, allowed the -' remains to be removed and “the line was rectified. This track was laid with thirty-pound steel rails, flange section; and " ballssted with broken limestone. - ‘ During the winter of 1880-81 Mr. Kinder built a locomotive in the shops of the com- pany.
