Aline, from her superior spread of nevus, was able to
make the most of it. and on coming back to Ryas on her

ing yacht. By this time the Albertan* had taken the second
place, and bad oompleMly shaken off the Madcap. who had

The remains of some mop were sheers le them is which
they detected the presence of hemlock leaves amongst the
herbs used to favour the soup. Remedial agents being
promptly applied the sufferers were relieved Irma a
dangerous symptoms in the coons of a few hours, though
two or three days elapsed before they quite recovered
from the effects of the poises. Further Inquiries showed
that the hemlock had bees gathered le the fami:y's own

ideri when young. The probability is that the two hied*
of goads, which are also in appearance, were mingled
