A goodly heritage indeed! it was in one of those glorious moods that, upon a September day. sultry as summer. although there was a touch of autumn decay in the air as well as in the tints around me. I sallied forth. after noon. to tramp on foot on as yet unexplored quarter of my domain. 1 had donned, according to my wont (as icing more suitable to the roughness at the paths than the smailclothes. skirted coats, high heels and cocked hat of Viennese fashion), the dress of the Moravian peasantâ€"l gather that it pleases the people’s heart to see their seigneur grace their national garb on occasions. There was a goodly store of such costumes among the cupboards full cf hereditary habiliments and furs pre- served at.‘ Tollendhal. after the fashion of the country. with the care that Eng- lish housewives bestow upon their stores of linen. My peasant suit was. of course. fine of cloth and natty of cut. and the symmetry of the handsome figue 1 saw in my glass reminded me more of the pastoral disguises that were the courtly fashion of some years back than of our half-savage ill-smelling boors. Thus it was pleasant as well as comfortable to wear. at at that. time even so trifling a sensation of gratified vanity had its I promised myself many a rare day's sport so soon as the time waxed ripe. Meanwhile, my days were spent in rambles over the land, under pretence of making acquaintance with the farms end the villages. and the population liv- ing on the soil and working out its wealth for my use. but .in reality for the enjoyment of delicious sylvan and rustic idleness throurrh which the mem- ory of recent Viennese dissipations was like that of a fever-ed dream.

Then I would resolve that. come the autumn, I would fill the frowning stronghouse with a rousing throng of gallant hunters and fair women such as it had never seen before. Ay. and they should come owr, even from old England, to taste of the Jenico hospitalityt in an unpopular social price. But, although thus freed of the incumbrzmcc of a gentleman’s attire, I could not shake off the watchful tyranny of Janos, the solemn heidurk who never allowed me to stir abroad at all without. his escort. nor, indeed if my whim took me far utteld). without the further retinue of two jagers, twin brothers, and faithful beyond a doubt. These, carbine on shoulder. and hunger on thigh, had their ort‘tm's to follow their lord through thick and thin, and keep within sight, and sound of whistle. in such odd style of state. 011 this day. destined to begin for me a new chapter in life, I took my course; and for a long hour or so walked along the rocky cornice that overhangs the plains. The land looked bare and wide and solitary. the fields lay in sallow lean- ness bereft of waving crops. but I knew that all my golden grain was stacked safely in the heart of the earthfiyvhere. these folk hoard its fruits for safetyr from fire. The air was so empty of hu- man sounds, save the inonotonoustramp of my escorts behind me, that all the murmurs of wind and foliage struck with singular loudness upon my ear. Over night there had, by my leave. been Songs and dancing in the courtyard of 'l‘ollendhall. and the odd tunes, the ca- pricious rhythm of the gipsy musicians. came back upon me as l walked in the midst of my thoughts. These melodies are fitfut and plaintive as the sounds of nature itself. they come hurrying and slackening. rising and mum". with as hue a harmony and as unmeasured a nieasure,-now in a very passion cf haste. and now with a dreamy long- (trawn sigh. I was thinking of this. and on the love of the Empress for that music (my Empress that. had been when I were her uniform, ay, and my Empress still so long as l retain these noble lands). when i came to a field. sloping from the crap; towards the plain, where an aftermath of grass had been left to dry. There was a little belt of trees, which threwa grateful shade; and feel- ing somewhat weary 1 thing me down on the scented hay. it was on the Sites- ian portion of my land. Against the horizon. the white and brown of some towntet. clustering round the ace-of- club-shaped roof of its ehurclrtowor. rose glittering above the blue haze. A little beyond the field ran a white road. So I reclined. looking vaguely into the unknown but inviting distance, musing ”it the extent of those possessions so widespread that I had not as yet been able to ride all their marches, ever and anon recognizing vaguely in the wire of the breeze through the foliage an erho of the music that had been taunting my thoughts all day. Every- thing conspired to bring me pleasant fancies. l began to dream of past scenes and future fortunes. smiling at the tt‘ought of what my dashing friends would say if they saw le bean Jennim in this bucolic attitude. wondering if any of my Court nrqnnintanres would recognize him in his peasant garb. Ah me, how eternally and lovingly I thought of my proud and brilliant self lllenl . . . . I cannot recall how soon this mus- ing became deep sleep, but sleep I did and dreamâ€"u singular, vivid dream, which was in a manner of continuation of my waking thoughts. I seemed to be at a great fete at the Imperial Palace, one of the countless throng of guests. The lights were brilliant, blinding, but 1 saw many faces I knew, and we all were waiting most eagerly for some wonderful event. No one was speaking, the only sounds were the rustling and lrushing of the ladies’ brocades and the jingle of the omcers’ spurs, with over and above the wail of the czimbalom. All at once I knew, as we do in dreams, what we were expecting, and why this splendid feast had been prepared. Marie Antoinette. the falr young Dauphine of l-‘mnce. the memory of whose grace still hangs about the court, had come back to visit her own country. The crowd grew closer and closer. The crowd about me surged forward to catch a glimpse of her as she passed, and I with the rest. when suddenly my great- uncle stood before me. immensely be- stnrred and beribboned in his field-mar- shal‘s uniform, and with the black patch rn his eye so black that it quite dazzled “Na, Kerlchen,” he was saying to me, “thou hast luck! Her Imperial Royal nghness has chosen the young Jennico to dance with . . . as the old one is too old." Now I, in common with the young men about me, have grown to cherish smce my coming to this land a strange enthusiasm for the most womanly and beautiful of all the Empress‘s daugh- ters, and therefore, even in my dream, my heart began to beat very fast, and l scarce knew which way to turn. I was much troubled too by the music, which went on always louder and quick- er above my head, somewhere in the air. for I knew that no such things rs country dances are. danced at Court, and that I myself would make but. a poor figure in such; yet a peasant dance it undoubtedly was. Next. my uncle was gone. and though I could see her, I knew the Princess was coming by the swish of her skirt as she walked. I heard her voice as clear as a silver ell. "Ou est-it?” it said. and felt she was looking for me. I struggled in vain to ansxver or turn to l-er, and the voice cried again: “01: cm. W” upon which another voice with a quaver in its tones made reply: “Par im, Altesse!” “It is a peasant,” said the first voice: that. was the princess of course. There was something of scorn in the tone, and I became acutely and unpleasanfly con- scious of my red embroidered shirt, But the. other made answer: “He is hand- snme," and then: “His hands are not those of a peasant." and. “Regnrdez ma chm-e; peasants do not wear such jewel- !ed watches!” A sudden shadow fen over me and was gone in an instant. There was a flicker of laughter and I sat up. The sound must have been very close tr me. {or it startled me from my deep sleep into, as it were. an outer court (I dreams. And between slumber and consciousness I became aware that I was lying somewhere very hot and com- imtable: that, while some irresistible power kept. my eyes closed. my ears were not so. and I could hear the two voices talking together: and, in my wan- (cring hrnin helievod them still to belong lo the Princess Marie Antoinette and her attendant. During my sleep the shade of the sun had shifted and I lay in the full glare and so. as I opened my eyes, I could see nothing. (To be Continued; Durham and Victoria Standard MILLBROOK ONT..

This makes tour counties which are suffering from fire. The area is 200 square mites. The country swept by the flames varies from pine timber land to barrens.

A number were more or less injured by flying.r debris. hut in no case was the injury of a very stl‘imls nature. The explosion was caused by a forest fire igniting the build- ing in which the explosive was stored. The shock was terrific, and a number of houses in addition to those destroyed suffered more or less, the glass in the windmvs being shuttered. The wildest excitement prevailed for some time, but as soon as the people realized the Iunited extent, of the disaster quiet was restored.
