to the very roors of her pretty curly hair and to bringthe tears to her eyes it could not be because jane ann was known to be a truthful girl ah me it was the sad old story of a sin which left not only an ngly lot on susys heart but its memory on the minds of others on one dreadful day way last summer susy had told a lie it had oeen done all in a minute as so miny wrong things may be but the poor child had often wondered with a very bore heart how many days and weeks and months it takes for people to be done thinking of it for ever since when susy was asked about anything aunt heater would look sharply and grandma half sorrowfully at her aa if doubtful whether she were really telling the truth and if the matter was very perplexing indeed annt hester would say if you had never baen known to tell an untruth susan of course every one would believe your first word nothing though had ever looked so much against susy as this breaking of the lookingglass in the best bedroom how do you swing the glass so you can look into it when you go in there askod aunt heater sometimes i take tho hairbrush and tiptoe up and push it back said susy the break ia higher up than she conld make with

aaid grandma 0 dear she said putting a very loving arm around susy if only she never had told a lie 1 thats just it said aunt heate- shak ing her head and setting her lips together the lookingglass couldnt have broken itself you know motaer it oouldnt have been bioken without hands nobody oouii dispute this if tears could wash away a wrongdoing or a remembrance surely suays lie would never be taought ot again but how manjr of ua have sadly found that all the tears in the world cannon do that susy went up to see the dreadful queer lookinp round hole there it was just above the reflection of her tearstioed little face ab ahe looked in she had never seen her face look ao before she scarcely ever saw it in that glass except when she went in on sun day morning her face had then looked very different in ito contentment with her sunday clothes she had worn a straw hat with a wreath of daisies and a blue ribbon a white dress with a full waist a little short and three tucks in the skirt around the waist was a blue sash tied in a bow behind which aunt hester always made with very short loops and very long ends this glass in the beat bedroom was the only one in which she could see down to the ends of the sash and to the lutton boats which uncle gsorge had brought her from the city the first aho had ever had her pride and joy now if sho should ever stand up to the glass so as to see them it would bring her face just where the dreadful hole was but suay felt euro she should never look intoit again there aeemed no prospect of rinding out how it had been broken and no one would ever believe she was telling the truth about it when grandpa wished her good- night he aaid id rather every glass in the house was broken than that my little girl should do wrong that was bad enough but it fairly broke her heart when grandma oame to her bed side and talked to her about her mother who waa dead and who would bo grieved if sho could know urandma begged ahe would confesaher fault promising that every one would forgive her at once and when ahe went away at laat suay could feel the teara on her dear faoo and felt half wild as ahe tnrned on her pillow id better aay i did it ahe sobbed to hereelf then it would be over sometime but oh that would be telling a real lie sho lay thinking about the bitter punish ment she was suffering it seemed too hard for oven such a dreadful thing as a lie but then ahe rjmembored hearing some one say that we are not permitted to choose or to measure our punishments that wo must leave that in the hands of our father who deals with us always in tendereit love and tho thought came like a message of pjaoe to her poor little heart that ahe might ploaao him by bearing patiently this hard punish ment with this reflection after lying awake what ahe thought must bo nearly all night but waa really only about half an hour ahe went to sleep it waa a very gloomy wook which follow ed it waa hard to bear the atom look which aunt heater put on whenover ahe camo near her but that was nothing to grandmas aorrowful face and grandpas never taking her on his lap or watting for hor to run out to the big gate for ride in when he camo home from anywhere but one morniop suaya heart gave a leap when ahe heard that undo george was coming tbat day ho waa always very kind to her and she could not help thinking that if ahe conld only see him before anybody elae told forgiven it only the truth was told susy shrank behind grandma to eacape aunt hesters glance as uncle george tip ped the glass as tar over as he could in order to look at the bacs of it couldnt havebecn done without hands yon know continuedaunt hester i dont knowabout that baid uncle george beginning efjr deliberately to turn the screws which held up the irfass in half a minute he had taken it down and waa carefully examining the thin board whioh covered ita baoli i think his is one of the things which are done without hands the lookingglass haa broken itself susy suay was very much puzzled almost wondering if uncle george was not making fun see here he said pointing to a thin place in the board the unusual damp ness of the season has warped this so as to bring a pressure upon the glass which has broken it it is a thing which rarely hap pens i believe and would hot have happen ed now if the room had not been kept so closely shut then the darling did not do it said grandma taking susy in her arms im glad as i can be susy said aunt heater and susy knew bhe really was what can we do to pay you for having made you suffer for what you did not do 1 susy was ao glad her little self that she thougntshe was going to laugh bnt shecried instead as ahe said oh if youll only only believe ill al ways tell the truth dear little children try always to keep yourselves on tho right side of an ugly ain the uncommitted aide a weighty matter i dreamt the whole thicg out aa i was sleep ing may i confide in yon i spend my days in wailing and in weeping for

because he makes all bis medicines at home and where he was born in 1s25 at the age of 2d he entered theaerviceof the hudsona bay company ta which vancouver island then bslonged and during the next fifteen years he was busily employed in prospecting for coal and bringing his discoveries under notice to him especially the vancouver coal and laud company prosperous as re gards coal but not in i 1 1 land dealings owed ita existence and after ho had assisted in the foundation of that company he started an other practically hia own concern the wel lington coal company which like the for mer has iti collieries some eighty miles to the north of viotoria b c there the flourish ing town of nanaimo has grown up having fino harborage at departure hay and being oonneoted with the capital by a line of rail way of which mr dunsmuir is almost sole owner the yield of the nanaimo coal fields was 81000 tonb in 1874 and 413360 tons in 1887 considerably more than half coming from the wellington colliery laat year waa a bad year however aa business had been hindered by strikes and explosions and besides anticipating a much larger produc tion at wellington mr dunsmuir intends next spring to open another and better coal field whioh he has just purchased at uomox 45 miles farther noith where he tella me he will have work for several hundred fresh handa in addition t the 700 or 800 employ ed on the older property in view of the great increase that ia thus likelysjo take place in the mining industry of vancouver island and of the need of frrsh immigrants a few further detaile may be interesting to some of yonr readers most of the men at present employed by mr dunsmuir have come to him from philadel phia and other mining districts in the unit ed states thoogh there is a sprinkling among them of more bar j- working miners who have coma out direct from scotland and england and also of newlyarrived belgians from 75 to 30 centa i e from 3a ld to 3i 9d are paid per ton and the earnings average from 3 to 6 dollars or say from 12a to 1 a day each man having to load his own boxes or to pay an assistant for doing it this subordinate work was nntil lately per formed by chinamen whose wage was a dollar or a dollar and a quarter 4 or 5 shil lings a day and no difficulty occurred until it was proposed to employ chinamen not only as subordinates in the mines but also as drivers in which case they would be em ployed and paid by the proprietors direct to this new arrangement the white miners objected last spring and after a great deal of friction they got their way so that none or hardly any but white men are now em ployed about tho mines the laborers receiv ing about 2 j dollars or 10a a day and the others twice aa much tho coit of living is of course higher in vancouver island than in england or scotland but this is kept down by means ol the general stores pro vided by the proprietors at which whatever is required can ba bought by tho men at little more than wholesale prioe with each miners oofjige however thero is given a largo garden in whioh vegetables oan be grown and for those who choose to spend part of their leisure in shooting or fishing there ore plenty of birds in the fields and 1 plenty of trout in the small lakea and rivers 1 which are within reach of all thero are practically no gamo laws and no law of tres pass in vuncoaver island the rent of the oottagcaset np by tho proprietors varies ac- ordiag to seizj between three andsix dollars month it mutt be remembered however that these comfortable arrangements are portly consequent on the scaroity of good workmen in these districts if the labor market ia overstocked wages cannot but fall on the other hind there seems no limit either to the supply of good coal procurrhle with very little trouble or to the market for it of the nanaimo coal and the comor coal is said to be better dr ceorgo dawaon says it is true bitnmiaous coal of tho very best quality it waa tested by the war department of the united states some years ago to find ont which fuels gave the best reaulta for steam raising purposes on the western coast and it waa found that to pro duce a given quantity of the ttmm it took 1800 tonb of nanaimo coal to 2400 tons of seattle coal and 2600 tons of oregon or californian cou showing thi t as far as tho paoific coaat ia concerned the coal of tho nanaimo has a marked superiority over all others fourfiftha of the coal produced in vancouver island ia exported to san fran cisco the demand from which ia increasing every year departure bay moreover ia being made a buby port by thonumber of ships that come to coal in it and if the new city of vancouver on the opposite side of the gulf of georgia attains anything liko the commroal importance
