dress to which we wish to call espe-
cial attention i, that urging upon the
State the i'm ;ortance Of q Tree Cul-
ture Bureau and liberal sappropria-
ton to secure the planting of trees
The State of Minnesota would get
back, in few years, with 100 per cent.
profit, every dollar appropriated, ii
such a Bureau were created and
placed in charge of some practical
tree-planter to line every road with
trees and plant forty acres Of timber
upon every school section. As
mere matter of business and money,
it would pay the State amply to do
this. The school lands of the State
might be increased two or three hun
dred per cent. in value and the at
Effectiveness Of the prairie to settlers
would be much enhanced. Mr.. H.
says:
Agriculture, prominently the great
interest Of Minnesota, the foundation
and support Of all other interests,
would thereby he enabled to so spread
itself that this treeless region, now de-
pc dent on the bounty Of the State
for "seed wheat" would in a short
period bic enabled not only to return

able to add more than a hundred mil
lions of bushels of wheat to our ex-
ports annually, with proportionate
increase of horses and cattle, butter
and cheese.

CHAPTER VII.
AT EvERSLEY,

The blow which had 50 abruptly and
stunningly fallen upon Cecil Esmond, the
apparent remuneration Of his love by Ev-
cline Berton and all the terrible details of
that eventful day Of ruin and disaster
which had 50 completely Frustrated all his
energies and rendered him fugitive from
Justice, had all been too much for him
Utterly Frustrated by the force of the
blew he had succumbed to it, and blindly
followed the headings of his cousin, Eu-
gene Faber. Scarcely conscious that he
was III disguise, and that he had robbed
his face of all its hirsdte appendaQes, he
went on out OF the great city Of London.
and with the same aimless, daxed mind.
travelled on, reaching Eversley, the small
town to which his cousin had directed
him, early on the morning Of the day fol-
lowing the one which had witnessed his
ruin. He saw the light within the inn,
for it was a tavern which kept open all
night, aud he entered, mechanically tax
ing the seat and awakening the landlord
from a light doze into which he had fallen.
As stages going to and from London to in
terror towns, passed every few hours. the
tavern was kept open turing the night,
and the landlord, considering his early
visitor some transient guest, arose and
rang little bell, in answer to the sum
mons of which very sleepy boy soon
appeared.
"A room and lights, sir !" the landlord
quened a. he hustled about.
Cecil nodded his head assentingly.
The boy will show you TO q room, sir. A"
he said obsequiously, as he hustled about
and handed the boy . candle to light the
guest to his room. "What time shall I
call you, sirr
Not until noon. | am tired and do not
desire to be disturbed, " was Cecil's iistless
reply as he followed the boy up the stairs.
Once in the room to which he had been
assigned, he locked the door, extinguished
the light, and in q wild paroxysm Of des-
pair and mingled anguish, flung himself
lpon the bed without disrobing, and gave
himself up to the most torturing thoughts.
TO his mind became wildly recalled the
Incidents which had transpired within the
1aSt few days and he gr0sned in the deep |
ut anguish Of spirit NJ he recalled the woe |
which stared him in the face. He realized |
he position he was in, and no loop-hole |
he foresaW was open 70 him for escape |
rem the numerous difficulties in which he |
vas involved. Never for q moment did |
he distrust his cousin, Eugene FAber. He
believed all that he had told him, and
without blaming him for being the indirect
ause of all his trouble i'm placing the
'onds in unreliable hands, held himself
lone responsible for the ruin in which he
Eas now involved. No excuse would pal
late his Offensefin the eyes Of the world,
% explanation suffice to reason down the
xisting evidence of his guilt. He stood
4 the Light of q guilty man and he was q
lgitive and felOn.
Finally his tired senses succombed TO
he combined influence Of WEAKNESS and
espair, and he slept restlessly and labo-
ously, but Numbered. Visions, the
Ost exciting thrOnged his over-heated
rAin, and Wild scenes foated through his
vid imagination.
Il was morning when he awoks Ths

Cecil Esmond was siIent. He foresa~
the despair before him, the disgrace of the
past, and his utter inability to remove
himself from the cloud he was under
With u deep sigh he walked on, and
thenceforth until they reached a village q
| short distance from their point Of destln
alton, Liverpool, he scarcely spoke or re
ferred to the affairs of the ruined com
pany.
Here they rested until the shades o.
night had en- veloped all in darkness. Ther
they pursued their way to the city d
Liverpool The harbor was reached, th'
Shooting Star boarded, and at midnight
after a journey long and fatiguing anC
constantly surrounded by officers looking
for Cecil Esmsnd, although never observed
OF suspected, the two men were comfort
ably esconced in the cabin Of the vesse
which had come from Australia few day
previously. The captain was introduced
to Cecil, Forest speaking Of him az Mr.
Raymond, and without any further ex
PLANTATION, it became understood that Ray
mond, cur Cecil Esmond, was to be \ pas

| trip to Australia.
