He looked up smilingly as Adrian enter- ed anannoanced, having been always free to go in as one of the family since his days of popUage. •' My dear boy, I haven't seen yon for an age," said the Vicar, holding out his thin i^ht hand, while his left still clasped his book. " What have you been doing with yourself!" " Making some new acquaintances. Vicar, and I want yon to come and meet them next Saturday evening." And Adrian entered once again upon a graphic description of Colonel Deverill and his daughters, finding a more sympathetic listener in the Vicar than he had found in Mrs. Freemantle. Reginald R^ckatoue was a man of pecul- iar delicacy of feeling, not deeply learned, but exquisitely critical, knowing a few authors well, worhhipping a few poets with all his mind and all his heait, and seeing all things from their most spiritual standpoint. •• It must be sad for these youn^ women to be motherless, and with a wild Irish father," he said, gently " and the married girl â€" she is little more tlian a girl, I take it â€"sad for her to be separated from her hus- brnd." ' "She bjust now expecting him home," said Adrian, "and she seems in excellent spirits." The Vicar was a bachelor, and his own master in all things. The living was not one of the plums of the Church, but the income was ample for a man whose tastes were of the simplest, and who had some meaiu of his own. He was a man oLexcellent f am^, a gentleman to the core of his heart. His poor parishioners adored him, his friends among the county poeple- tolerated him as a harmless eccentric. The small professional people, village doctor, market-town solici- tors, considered him stuck-up. He refused I should love a good son but she loves the other one fooUahly, Mindly, sinfullyâ€" »f, in- deed, it be a sin to make an idol of poor hu- manity." „ Ten minutes to eight on Saturday even- ing, and the Vicar, always earliest of Lady Belfield's guests, was luxuriating m the glow of a splendid fire, in a drawing-room full of light and colour, the peifiune of hothouse flowers and the Utter of new books and periodicals. Lady Belfield sat in her fav- ourite chair by the hearth, with her eye on the door. A kind of instinct told her that the DaveriU party would be late, ^aruji hovered about near the door, with a slightly nervous air. " That dear young man looks as if he ex- pected to be arrested," said Mr. Rockstone, and then went on questioning Lady Belfield about the last book she had been reading. He used to say that he had no occasion to read new books on his own account. Lady Belheld always kept him au couraTii. "An intelligent woman's synopsis of a shallow book is always better than the book itself," said the Vicar. Mr. and Mrs. Freemantle and their son Jack were announced as the clock struck eight. With the Freemantle family there was always a military exactitude, they were all well drilled, even Lucy, the mild sheep- faced daughter had nevdr been late for a lesson or a Church seivije in her life. Mrs. Freemantle shook hands with Lady Belfield and looked round for the strangers. Mr. Freemantle was an excellent man with plenty of common sense but no cultivation, and very little memory. He never opened a book, and he rarely listened to conversa- tion, unless it had some direct bearing upon field sports, politics, in which he was faintly interested, or his own affairs. He had nt- that he had been asked to -mm in one wordâ€" Dako«boot. •« Oh. Sophy," "" Fot Adrain most deoidodly dMigarou. Indeed. I believe the mischief is • go»d" done already.

And with this unpoetical comfanson, Mrs. Freemande drew her Canton crape shawl round her shoulders, ordwed her hus- band and son off with a nod, bade her friend good night, and suled out of the room.

Guardians." To Belfield Abbey, therefore, the Vicar always gladly ^went when he was bidden. Lady Belfield's low voice and gentle sympa- thetic maimer bad a peculiar charm for him. So far as that great tender heart of his had ever gone out to a woman, it had gone out to her years ago, in the early days of her widowhood, when she came home to the Abbey with her two boys, a stricken mourn- er, deeming her sorrow inconsolable above all sorrows. Ue, a grave man of seven and thirty, old for his yea^, had comforted advised her, had helped her in the yours. " Are you really expecting anyone," ask- ed Freemantle Innocently, "I thought it was your cook that was behind time." " Lady Belfield's servante are never un- punctual, John. Uidn't I tell you we were to meet Colonel Deverill." " Deverill ah, to be sure, the man who has taken Morcomb. I used to see him in London five and twenty yean ago he was in the Guards, a South of Ireland man." The time-piece climbed the half hour, and the door flung open, " Colonel Deverill and Miss Deverill, Mrs. Baddeley." The matron led the way, lovely, smiling, deliciously unconscious of blame, apelte, and advisea ner, naa neipea ner in tne gleeful, m a tight-fitting ruby velvet gown, bringing up of her sons, »°^^i PJIfJ^^^ j and wiDh only one ornament, a large diamond i ~_ locket which a duchess might not have dis- Helen followed, clad in some limp creamy fabric, with neither them for Eton and coached them for Oxford, He, who had never on any other occasion j ^^^^ ^^„ sacrificed i:hat golden leuure~ -which he prized so highly â€" the leisure to read old books and muse and dream over them â€" had for La ly Belfield's sake toiled at the very elemente of classical education, at declen- sions and conjugations, at Cornelius Nepos and Livy. In Adrian he had found a pupil after his own heart, and at five and twenty Adrian was still his pupil, still delighting to read a Greek play with him, proud to disLuas a tough passage in Plato or Aristotle or to talk about Horace as if they had both knnwn him intimately. jewels nor gold, only a cluster of white lilies on her shoulder. If this was an aesthetic toilet, seatheticism was very becoming to Miss Deveiill. No one apologised for being late. The Morcomb party slipped into their place sin the easiest manner.

The great telegraphic feat performed the other day, when Mr. Henry Norman, the special oommissioner of the Pall AfcUl Oaz- etU, carried on a conversation between Van- couver, B C, and London, has excited the wonder and amazement of a world. At one end of the wire waa Mr. Heant, of the Examiner, San Francisco, and at the other end Mr. Stead, of the Pall Mall Gaz- ette, London. There was an unbroken tele- graph circuit extending from San Francisco to New York, 4600 miles, the distance from New York to London, via CansO, N.S., be- ing 3500 miles, or 8100 in alL The tele- graph lines making up this circuit ran from San Francisco to New York, via. Vancouver, B.C., and Montreal,' connecting at New York with the Mackay-Bennett cable. The telegrams exchanged between San Francisco and London were, therefore, only repeated at New York, Canso and Bristol, England, the latter place bsing the landing place of the Mackay-Bennett cable. The object of this experiment waa to demonstrate the fact that London and Vancouver were prac- tiodkUy within speaking distance of each other, which would, in case of war complica- tions in the East, Oe of the greatest import- ance to the British Empire. This T7MBK0KEN LIKE pF TELSOBAPH also demonstrated the fact that the Cana- dian Pacific company's system of telegraphs could be successfully maintained during the most rigorous season of the year. That the railroad could also be kept open, Mr. Nor- man had just had the very best evidences, as he left Winnipeg at the time the Ameri- can transcontinental roads were suffering from the recent blizzard, and arrived here with but few hours' detention en route. At 1.12 p. m. Vancouver time, but 9.12 Lon- don time, Mr. Norman asked Mr. Stead a question, receiving a reply in five minutes. Then Mr. Stead asked. "How fbr off are you from London " In four minutes the re- ply flashed back. " Six thousand nine hun- dred miles, which, with 1200 to San Fran Cisco added, makes a. grand total of 8100 miles, the longest circuit ever worked and the greatest feat yet accomplished in tele- graphy." The conversation was kept up far a couple of hours, Mr. Norman relating some of his many experiences. Among other things he said "This is something inore than an exhibition of telegraphic prow- ess. The tiip has been such a revelation of the reality of the empire that I greatly de- sired to do something to jxhibit this in A STBIKIKO, CONCKETK FOSIC, and the very kind permission and assistance of the managera of the magnificent telegraph system of the Canadian Pacific railway and of Mr. Ward, manager of the Commercial Cable company, of which all the world knows, enables me to do this.
