On the receipt of her letter he went without loss of time She was waiting for him in the lib- rary, where they had spent so many hours together. Without a word he held out his hands to her, she clasped them in her own. He tried to speak to her, but his lips quivered, and tears that were no disgrace to his manhood stood in his eyes. "No one ever will,” he answered, hoarsely; " no one will ever love you as I do; no one will ever be so ready to life down life and love for you as He had made all arrangements about the sending of the money to his brother for the care and education of little Oswald, and Gerald had deferr- ed the parting with Vivien until the last moment, he dared not trust him- self with her, but, when the carriage stood at the door. and his luggage was all placed within it, he: went in search of Miss Neslie. So the day came when Gerald Dor- ma-n left all his hupes of. happiness behind him. For long years after- ward the memory of that parting reâ€" mained with himâ€"it broke his heart in the end. There was great wonder expressed on all sides when it was known that Gerald Dorman was going to leave Lane-ewood; but it was generally un- derstood that Miss Neslie did not re- quire his services. as she preferred 'to keep the management of matters in her own hands. Mr. Greston thought it rather a pity that Miss Neslie should lose such a valuable and trustworthy friend, {but did not in- terfere. it must be. He saw that Vivien would never feel happy or at ease with him again. The sound of his voice. the sight of him brought an expression of pain over her faceâ€"her voice took quite another tone in speaking to him. All the intimacy of their friendship was at an end. BetWeen them lay the shadow of sin. He must go. He had imperiled his soul for Lancewood, but Lance-wood was no longer a home for It was some days before Gerald left. and to him that parting had all the bitterness of death. Yet he saw that “ I have done cruel wrong," she re- plied. “And now, Gerald, we have 'to discuss your departure. I have told you this only to show you that you will not suffer alone.” “ It is a cruel decision,” said Gerald, sadly. “Lt will pass to the other branch of the Neslies.

Lancewood will not be the prey of Lady Neslie and her friends.” “ What will become of Lancewood then ?” he asked. “ No, I shall never marry,” she re- plied. “ And you will never marry?” he interrogated slowly.

I shall buy something that will last.” ’ a child without thinking of little Oswald. oA little scene that occurred in the Hydewell Road struck her once like a blow. She was driving along when she saw two boys fighting. One was much older, much bigger than the other. Vivien could never, without remonstrating, pass anything of that kind. She st0pped the carriage, and inquired what was the matter. When the old Abbey looked once more like itself, Vivien began her out- of-door reform. She worked inces- santly that she might have no time for thought. She filled her days with good deeds that the hours might not, as they passed, remind her of her sin, She was not happy; every one remark- ed how changed she was. She had grown thoughtful, sad, reserved. If any one found her alone, there was a strange nervousness in her mannerâ€"a half buried fear, as though she'expect- ed something unwonted would take place. She was kinder, more patient, more considerate-she forgot herself in attending to others. A few months passed, and there was no one left uncured for on the estate. The sick, the aged, the poor, were all relieved. People, speaking of Miss Neslie, said that she was especially kind to children. She never passed It was a work of- time, but Vivien accomplished it at last. It seemed to her that the traces of her ladyship’s residence at the Abbey could never be effaced. The pictures had all been removed and changed; the magnificent old oaken furniture, so thoroughly in keeping with the grand old walls, had been exchanged for modern trifles that appeared out of place. I From that hour she commenced a ilife that was given up to doing good. gNever had the honor of Lancewood gbeen upheld as it was now. As first fshe directed every energy to ;the reforming of abuses. She sent {for all the old servants whom Lady :Neslie had dismissedâ€"she placed the household on the same footing on iwhich it had been during her father’s Mite-time. Order, punctuality, neatnes iregularity, and method once more ;'reigned within the house. Once more :’the bell rang morning and evening for 'the servants to assemble for prayer in the hallâ€"a proceeding at which “miladi” had laughed scornfully. Once more Lancewood took its proper posi- tion; it became the leading house in the countyâ€"the house to which all others looked up. Once more the owner of Lancewood became the great county magnate; carriages stopped be- fore its gates, people looked up to its residents as they had been accustomed ‘ to do. 1 had been done. She would not undo it; but she wouLd do her best to atone [ow it. He went away, and she was left alone to do the best she could with her life. She did the best she could have done. She spent no time in idle lamenztution and mourning. An ill deed “ I shall come again,” said Lord St. Just. " You love me, and you will mar- ry me in time, I am sure of it. These recent terrible events have startled and unnerved you. Vivien, my queen. my darling, I will be generous; I will give you a year to reflect your deci- sion, and after that period has elapsed I shall Come again.” tell me that you have ceased to love me. Ls it so? I know you speak true- ly when you do speak? Have you ceas- ed to love me ?” “ No,” she replied, “ I have not.” “ Will you tell me why you refuse to marry me ?” he asked. “I cannot: but the reason is a grave one,” she replied sadly. “ So do I, my darling, and I would wage-r my whole fortune that you are Lady St. Just before long. I will not take ‘No’ for an answer, unless you “My beautiful, capricious, darling,” he said. laughing, “I shall believe no such thing. Why should I? I know you love me; and I shall listen to no reason, no excuse, no scruple. I shall never cease praying and pleading until you are my wife. You say ‘No’ this time; Ishall come again. You may say ‘ No ’ the next time; I shall come even after that. What is to be done with such a determined lover ?” “ I cannot tell,” she repued; “ but You will find, Adrian, that I mean what I Say.” “It is not that,” she rephed. “I know that you would do just as you say; butâ€"believe me, Adrian, I can- not marry you.” Lanoewood. I will help you to take care of your home. Its interests and its welfare shall be dear to meâ€"nay, dearer than my own.” ' Why, he proposed to me only last evening, returned the girl in pink. Yes; I said he wasn’t a man of much discernment repeated the girl in blue. 4. JUST WHAT SHE MEANT. I don’t think he‘s a man of much discernment, said the girl in blue4 Many a tip do the police constables get for services of this kind. One of them said that he had received scores of small presents for putting kettles on the fire. It often happens at the East End that a strict Jew goes out into the streest and says to some Christian passer-by, “Would you be so kind as to come indoors and light my lamp? The ‘fire-poker’ has failed me." One woman in the East End of Lon- don often has as many as“fifty houses to attend to, and draws small fees from each of. them. Lt is not long since a male “fire-poker” in that quarter died worth more than three hundred pounds. which he had saved out of his earnings. By the Rabbinical law, no Jew is al- lowed to kindle or mend any fire on the Sabbath; and in certain places in England, where Jews are very num- erous, this prohibition makes it nec- essary that persons shall be employed from sunset on Friday to the same hour on Saturday, in going from house to house lighting fires and lamps, and attending to them. is thus described by a London ex- change. and whatever else may be thought of the story, it speaks well for the Jews of England as faithful keepers of their law. Curious Occupation of Some People to Earn a Livelihood. The trades of London are many, and some of them seem very strange. One occupation by which a score of Britons are said to earn their liveli- hood is that of "poking fires.” It So far as human life could be perfect, hers was perfect, with the exception of one blot. With tears and sighs she owned to herself that above all others it was the sin of her life-time; yet she would not undo it or wish it undone. E She was not happyâ€"perhaps in all Ethe length and breadth of the land no Eone “as more unhappy than she. There were hours when she could not endure the memory of her sinâ€"when her proud, noble nature recoiled from it, and she hated herself with an intensity of hatredâ€"when she could not endure the sight of the sunshine or the song of the birdsâ€"when she dreaded the light of day and the darkness of night â€"when life was a. torture, and the memory of her sin a terrible burden that seemed to grow heavier. There were times when, kneeling, with con- trite tears, she begged of Heaven to pardon her, and repented with her whole soul; but the day never came in which she was willing to undo what she had done, or restore what she had unjustly taken. I A year passed, and Adrian St. Just came again; But this time she {refused to receive him; she iwent away to the sea-side to avoid him, and he had to return without having seen her. She told him frankly why she had done so; it was because seeing him gave her more pain than pleasure -â€"she would have had to say “No,” to him againâ€"it was better to avoid the meeting. But his lordship did not give up hOpeâ€"he said to himself that the task of his life would be winning this beautiful, noble woman, who seemed so resolutely to flee from all love. He wrote to her, telling her that he should return the following year, and every year in tact until she smiled upon him. “I shall live unmarried for your dear sake,” he said; “and while I live I shall never deSpair." She would never marry, it was said; she was devoted to Lancewood; she in- tended to spend her-life there in doing good. Those who saw her, beautiful, rich, the mistress of a large estate, the worshipped head of a large house- hold, said to themselves that she, above all others, was to be envied; they lit- tle knew what was hidden under the calm, proud beauty of her face. ous. People thought themselves for- tunate in being under the rule of Miss Neslie. Time passed on, and the beautiful order in which the Lancewood estate was kept was noticed by every one. There seemed to be no poor. The laborers were well paid â€" they had decent houses to live in. Schools were built for the children, almshouses for the aged From between the tufted beautiful church. The farmers were not asked to pay a rent that was ruin. sorrowful face. The words struck her like a. blow. What could she say? On a larger scale, this was just: what she had doneâ€"taken her brothers in. heritance because she could put it to a better use. Then she said to herself that her motives were noblersso noble indeed that they justified her almost in what she had done. She drove on quickly, and never staid to see how the combat ended. POKING FIRES FOR A LIVING. To be Continued. the line of the C.l’.R. in Eastern Al- goma, from Su-dbury to Sault Ste. Marie, is also receiving attention at the hands of the Bureau. A good deal of good land is being taken up around Lake Kipissing. Much land in this di- rection, now accessible with difficul- ty, owing to its distance from the railway, will be more easily reached next season, as wagon roads are con- structed. The growing settlement at the northern end of Lake ’lfemisc'amin- ! gue has also attracted ac-number of home-seekers. French Canadians pre- dominate among the arrivals in the Lake Nipissing settlement, where many of their compatriots are already established, some of whom are thriv- ing and well-to-do farmers. A num- ber of the French, however, combine lumbering with agriculture, and are engaged for several months in the lumber camps, so that they are unable to make much progress in clearing their lands. The French-Canadians have also several flourishing settle- ments in East Algoma. CONDITIONS OF SETTLEMENT. The conditions of settlement under which free gramts are given involve the construction of a house 16 by 20 feet and the clearing and cultivation of fifteen acres of land within the five years that must elapse before the pat- eint is issued. The buildings put up RAIL WA Y FACILITIES. The settlements mentioned and the colony at Dryden and Wabigoon can be reached from Port Arthur, the Spe- cial rate of railroad fare for settlers secured by the Bureau being one cent per mile each way, which very consid- erably reduces the expense of trans- portation. In the territory of the Rainy River Valley the present cost of access is much greater than it will be when the Rainy River Railway is in operation. The line is being rapid- ly pushed to completion and will prob- ably be in running order this season. EASTERN ALGOMA AND LAKE NI- PlSSlNG.

WORK OF THE COLONIZATION BUREAU THIS SEASON. Even in these days we have the fighting nose at the frontâ€"where, of course, it should be. The finest speci- men is the property of Gen. Kellyâ€" Kenny. It is quite Wellingtonian, and gives points to Napoleon. With such a nose Gen-Keily-Kenny ought to go far. From his nose the physiog- nomist would tell you thin. Gen, French is possessed of determination and perseverance. The same ex- pert would prooably describe Gen. b‘ir Redvers Buller’s nose as that of a “plodder,” while, according to Aristo- tle, who, versatile maul professed some knowledge of physiognomy, Lord Kitchener is “insensitive." Of all the Boer commandants in the field, Louisa Botha is the only one whose nose is of the military model. Notwith- standing the reverses he has suffered, he is generally credited with being a very able soldier. Lord Robertsâ€"whet of his nose? It must be confessed that it is not of the “fighting" stamp. The “face reader” would say that its owner possessed great artistic instinct. Quite right! Lord Roberts is an artistâ€"an artist in napoleon, for professional purposes, practised physiugnumy, which was a crime in the days of Elizabeth, when “411: persons Iuyning to have knowledge of L’hisioguumie or like b‘antastical Imaginations” rendered th-cmsch'es liable to all manner of perils. Its Sh:.pv Indicates Your Characterâ€"The Nose. of Fighters. Physiognomists go so far as to as- sert that the nose is the key to the man’s character, the index to his brain, And so many peopleâ€"great employers among themâ€"ehare the belief that it is almost as lucky for a child to be born with a good nose on its face as with the proverbial sliver spoon. in its mouth. There are noses and noses, even among the good specimens. There is the artistic nose, literary men and Painters have it, or should have it; the “constructive” nose peculiar to architects and engineers; and not. the least important is one labelled by phys. iognomists “combative and organiz- ing.” This might also be called the military nose. It belongs to great commanders on sea and land, and is so prominent that it cannot' be mis- taken. \Vellington had it to an ab- normal degree. in this, as in other respects, he huts never been equalled by any other soldier. Wellington was a great believer in noses. Napoleon also admired a good nose, and was personally well endowed in that particular, but nothing like to the same extent as his vauquisher at ‘Waterluo. Both are said to have chosen their men {or important posi- tions by the size and shape of their noses.
