 "Nell, could you ever learn to love me?" he asked abruptly.
 Miss Royston apparently needed time to gauge her capabilities in that respect, for she gave Graham Daglish no reply for minute or two, and while she hesitated two strong arms stole around her and voice whispered:
 "Are you pine, to be my darling, cherished wife ?"
 Miss Royston seemed to be afflicted with difficulty of speech, but she suf- fered without opposition or even re- monstrance the bondage in which she was detained.

The Kind of Men who Fascinate Women

A newspaper correspondent says :- A curious stndy is the consideration of the kind of men who fascinate women. I have known man, fellow with the head and hair of tramp, and the dress of 8 doctor with & lean practice, per son who wriggled like snake when he walked, and had Q clammy hand, yet this person was perfect woman killer. One girl was betrothed to him for three years, and then he tilted her coldly for 0 new flame. The new love affair ended with tragedy, for when in turn he shook the new love off, the restless, grief-str1cken girl ended her troubles for ever in neighboring river. There were other women who loved the fellow al- most as desperately, although they con- soled themselves more easily. What they could ever see in the man to fall in love with passeth understanding.
 There was another great lady-killer, too, who seemed to melt women's hearts as hot roll melts butter. He promised to be one of the great men of tho coun- try, and women bowed down and wor- shiped his supposed intellectual pow CTS. There were five romantic school girls in love with him at once, if re- member. Friends, relations and enemies alike prophesiedafutureo of extraordinary brilliancy for him, and he could have his "pick and steal of all the young ladies in the country. Well, the man who was to stand upon the topmost pinnacle of intellectual greatness is now schoolmaster, and Q second-rate one at that, with an insignificant wife, who is the merest stlck-in- the-mud. Proba- bly, he thinks about his old flames.

ble objection to Arthur Young, who was an honest, handsome young fellow, and heir to good property. Beforehand, though, he could not have supposed him the kind of man to attract bright, original Belle Royston. Her preference, however, was clear enough; in fact, with the encouragement Youngreceived the only marvel was that he did not urge his suit more boldly.

Burned to the Waters Edge-Terrible
 Fire on a Steamer-OnIy Five of the
 Passengers Lost.
 DETROIT Aug. 30.-The steamer Marine City, on the way down from Mackinac with a load of freight and passengers, left Alcona at 3:3O yesterday afternoon. About o'clock, when off Sturgeon Point, fire was discovered in the hold of the steamer, and before effect i've measures could be taken the flames be- came unmanageable. The efforts of the crew were at once directed to saving the passen- gers, of whom there were a large number The tug Vulcan was fortunately in sight and hastened to the relief of the steamer as did also the boats of the life-saving station at the Point and several small boats from the shore. These picked up large number of persons in the water, chiefly from Detroit, Port Huron and up shore ports There were 135 passengers on board of whom only the following lost Richard Shultz, Toledo; James Griffin, Toledo; Frank Elm met, Toledo; Guy McElroy, Toledo; Dr. Pomroy, Ottawa, Ohio. Captain Comet and the crew of the Marine City acted with great coolness, every man standing to his post until driven overheard. Captain Hackett and crew of the tug Vulcan rendered great assistance o1oO cued are now all at Alcona The Marine City was a fine passenger boat, fourteen years old, valued at $3O,0OO and insured for $15, ,OOO. She was owned by Gallagher & Warrener, of this city.
 The hull of the steamer has f1oated ashore burned to the water's edge. Three bodies have been recovered, but their names are not known. On one cuff was found marked Watson" The names of the other two re- ported lost are Miss Jennie Muser of Al coma, and an Irishman who boarded the ves- sel at Point Stegnace and was bound for De- troit.
 LATER-Martin T. Watson, of Detroit, late of Thedford, Ont, is another of the lost by the Marine City disaster. It is believed that two others are also lost. The hope that some had been saved at Sturgeon Point was vain one. s. H. Davis, a wholesale fish deal CT of this city, was on board and unable to swim, but he foated out to sea for two hours and was picked up by the steamer Metropo- lis. He is in a critical condition.

ARo.eate View ofLoufstana.

CHICAGO, August 3O.-Governor Wiltz of Louisiana, said to reporter at the Palmer House to-day that business affairs in Louis jana are in better condition to-day than at any time since the war. Leading merchants of New Orleans state that their sales have in creased 30 to 100 per cent. The business of to-day was as good as that of January, which is something very unusual in the South. Large manufactories have been started in the city and in different parts of the State, and the people are devoting themselves more than ever to industries rather than to politics Governor Wiltz believed this to be the case not only in Louisiana alone, but throughout the South. There has been a large increase of population and he had no doubt of the re- turn of prosperity. The best of feeling is expressed toward Northern men who make their homes in the South. The colored peo- pie are in better condition than ever and contented, that their children attend public schools with the white children and such in- stitutions are teeming with the youthful pop ulation.

 Tornado in Jamaica.
 NEW YORK, Aug 3O.-Fresh news of the recent severe tornado on the Island of Ja- maica was received yesterday upon the arriv- al of the steamship Alps, which gallantly bat tied with the hurricane for ten hours. Pur- ser Wigg said that the storm was regular cyclone. The sea was like seething caul- dron, and the roar of the wind, rain and waves deafening. It was almost impossible for the officers to make their voices heard above the din. Although the Alps came out of the storm all right, it is feared that other vessels were not as fortunate, and consider able anxiety is felt among shipowners for the safety of their property. Two or three ves- sells that left Jamaica before the Alps sailed, bound for New York and other North Ameri- can ports, have not yet arrived, and it is fear ed that they may have been lost in the storm The storm continued only few hours. It was the most severe about midnight. Before morning it had nearly abated, and on the 18th the sun came up in an almost clear sky. MT. H. E.
