SENATOR EDMUNDS and other Burling-
ton lawyers express the opinion that
Lawrence Brainerd, whose capture in
Manitoba is elsewhere noted, cannot be
held. Some very inaccurate statements
about Mr.. Brainerd have been published
in State papers that ought to know bet
ter. His chief offence was loaning money
belonging to the Savings bank, of which
he was president, to the Norwood On
W Lumber company, in which he was
the chief stakeholder. in violation of the
banks charter, and thus making himself
liable to five years imprisonment
Twenty-four indictments were found for
otfenses of this sort, bail was fixed in
$4,000 for each-S4S 900 in all-and his
sureties are his brother-in-law, F. S,
Stranahan, and his brother, A. o. Brain.

CHAPTER NLII.

\ CHALLENGE.
On the evening of the day on which
Agatha GemmIll had made her portentous
discovery about the secret interviews be-
tween her sister and Ronald, MIR. GcmmiIl
ii little. red headed mau with shreWd
blue eyes-came home in very good
spirits.
Look here Aggic-heres an invita-
ton for yOu,' he was beginning, when he
SAW that something was wrong. What
is it now p he asked. And then the story
was told him, and not without a touch of
Indignation in the telling. But Mr.. Gem
mill did not seem SO horror stricken as
his wife had expected she began to EN-
phasize the various points; and was in
cllned to be angry with him for his cool
ness.
"Girls have often tancies like that-you
know well enough, Agatha he said.
"All you have To do is to take Il gentle
way with her and talk CommOn-sense to
her, and it will be all right. If you make
"A row, you Will only drive her into obsti-
macy. She Will listen to reason she's not
fool; if You take quiet and gentle way
with her
A quiet and gentle way - his wife ex-
claimed. " ! Will take no way with her
at all-not i'm not going to have any
responsibility of the kind. Back she goes
to the highlands ut once-that's all the
way mean to take with her. see, there's
letter We written to mother.
Then you mean to make hash of this
affair amongst you, said ne. with calm
resignation. You will merely drive the
girl INTO Il corner; and her pride will keep
her there

are so easily persuaded his wife broke

My poor heart is broke in two,

AS for the others of this light-henrted and
Laughing group of young folk, they were
these; Miss kerfoot, fresh olored,
plump, pleasant-lookng girl wearing
much elaborate head-gear rather out of
proportion to her stature: her married
sis'or Mrs. I'Ipr, - cg&~--WidOw who
was Eini ruuE-d to .ly cha Ierun to the
young P"urc. uIIt Whose elective black
eyes had il little trick OF rowing on their
account-pelhaps merely in quest of
joke; DR.. Thomas i. Tilley. an adolcscent
practitioner, who might have inspired n
little more confidence in his patient had

chestnut brown hair; and. finally the
long and lank gent lcman who waited so
humlly on Mss llDdson, ana who was
Mr.. j. &, lIuyse OF the CbiCuJJ citizen.
Miss Carry had at length-and after
abundant meek intercession, and eNpla-
nations, and expressions of remorSe --
pardoncd the repentunt editor for his
treatment of Ronald. 1t was none of his
doing, he vowed and declared 1t was
some young iackaSs whom the proprictors
of the paper had introduced TO him. The
article had slipped in without his having
seen it first. If only her Scotch friend
would write something more, he would
undertake that the ChicdgO CITIZEN would
treat it with the greatest respect. And
so forth. Miss Carry was for long time
obdurate, and affected to think that it
was poetical jealousy on his part for the
long haired editor had himself in former
days written and published sentimental
verse-a fact which was not forgotten by
one or two of the wicked young men on
the staff Of the New York sun, when Mr.
Huysen ventured into the stormy arena of
politics., but in the end she restored him
TO favor, and found him more submissive
than ever. And in truth there was sub
stantial reason for his submission. The
chicago citizen paid well enough. no
doubt; but the editor of that journal had
large views and Miss Hodson's husband
if all stories were true-would find him
self in very onvlabe position indeed.
"Mayn't | carry your cape for you,

most pleading way in the world.

enough; but she did not turn her head
