slightest response, as If she had heard him.
He made an effort to look into her eyes-then
fell back and disappeared.
Lucy reached her room. locked the door
and sat down. trembling and crying. This
last encounter had been too much for her
nerves. She was full of excitement and
dread. Unconsciously to herself this con-
slant pursuit had worn upon her. Her
strength seemed suddenly to give way. She
sat, sobbing, almost unable to stir, when
there was q knock at the door.
She started at the sound as il some new
summons of evil were at hand but the per-
son who appeared was only a young lady
boarding in the house, with whom Lucy had
O slight acquaintance.
A note had been left ut the house while
Lucy was at school. 1t was her mothers
handwriting:
Come home Immediately. Your father is very III.
Miss Burton delivered the note. but lin
gered, drawn to q plying solicitude by the
sight of Lucy's swollen face. As Lucy
dropped the paper and sobbed more bitterly
than before, Miss Burton gently approached
her, saying, My dear Miss Hutton, you
have bad news!"
MY father is very ill-dying, perhaps I!
But how can ( leave my school ~

school before. And / will go with you to-
night and sec the rector"
This kindness terminated Lucy's mind.
In a few moments she had settled her plans,
and the two sought the Rev. John Archer,
and had the matter satisfactorily settled.
Lucy was to start in the 0 O'Clock train, and

for a while, but soon fell soundly asleep.
II WINS late when she awoke the room was
full of sunshine. Remembering her fathers
state. Lucy overcame Il feeling of languor,
rose and hastily dressed. While doing 30, she
remembered the experience of the previous
evening. A sudden thought came to her.
:" must have locked the cat in the closet
last night. Poor old Prue !"
She unlocked the door. The key turned
with some difficulty. Flinging open the
door, n stiff, dead human figure fell upon
her, crushing her to tue floor.
Those who heard the noise came rushing
up, Lucy was in commissions. The fright
full, distorted corpse had rolled aside and lay
upon its face. The room was full OF the scent
of chloroform.
Lucy was finally restored, but her nervous
condition was deplorable. For weeks they
watched over her feverish. delirious slum-
bers, fearing insanity, and not without
reason.
The dead man was given over to the care
of the town authorities, aud buried by them.
Ii was never known who he was. On learn
ing the story, many thought him insane.
Others believed him to be u lawless and un-
%scrupulous adyenturer. In his pockets had
been found n pistol, a broken vial of chic
roturm, and a sponge. 1t was thought that
he intended to render Lucy insensible, and
carry her away in the night. But he was
dead, and incapable of more harm. Prob
ably when Lucy locked the closet door, he
had been crowded in, and the vial broken.
He had been smothered to death.
1t took years TO overcome this dreadful
experience but now Lucy Grayson tells or
it, without excitement, to her children.

her face, his appearance was repulsive, his
presence frightful. She shrieked and ran
away.
Forgetting the invalid, she had slammed
the sitting room door behind her, when she
heard her name gently pronounced, and
Henry Grayson caught her III his arms.

THE CANADIAN PRES
How the Measage is Regarded By the
 Go-Srnment's Organs,

MONTREAL, Aug. 25.---Surprise and disap poiutment are expressed here owe the Presidents message, Two theories are OK pressed about Bt by the Gazette, ministerial organ. The President may desire, it says, to throw open the hostile majority of the Senate, in the hope that they will decline it, the full responsibility for the rejectiSn of the Fishery Treaty negotiated ey his advice, and of the retaliarory action that he says is one alternative to the plan of conference and agreement which he at first favor ed, and which thay condemned; or he may fully intend re apply the somewhat harsh measures he suggests, and with the object of cOercing Canada into abandoning the policy which he and the United States Plenipotentiarles who signed the abortive convention recognized her right to enforce.
 ''Under any circums tances," the Gdzette maintains, Canada is virtually independ- ent. She has transcontinental route within her territory, rail outlet to her maritime province, and winter ports. These she can utilize much to the gain of 8 section of her own people. Halifax and St. John and hcr own railways will get the trade that now goes to tue United States seaports. She can still uphold her rights. Unless un
 ustifiable retaliation takes a much more aggravated form than is indicated in Mir. C&veland's message, she can, for the sake of her nationality, face the results of the carrying out of the present threat, which in view Of ths large Uuited States trans portation interests to be seriously affected Is not to be regarded as an absolute cer tanty, though quite within the ran ge o1 possibility"
 The Herald (Opposition), says: For tln n~r took unworthy course in the hope o1 making capital against Mir. Cleveland, and he evidently does not lntend to allow that little plant to b.os5 otn. We trust that the whole thing IS an incident Of the Presiden- tiaI election, for the course spoken o1 would undoubtedly bo injurious to both sides and would accumulate an interna- tional difficulty which it IS the duty of statesmen to remove"

Some Doubts to Whether Capt. An

Some Doubts as to Whether Capt. An
 drews Will Reach Queenstown.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-There is much speculation in this city among nautical men as to whether Capt. W. A. Andrews and his 12-foot boat, the Dark Secret, will reach the other side or not. Capt. Andrews started from the Point of Pines, Boston Harbor, on July 4. He intended to arrive at Queenstown in forty-five days, On July his craft was spoken off the Georges, latitude 42o, by the schooner Laura Nelson. On July 12 the steamer Ems of the North German Lloyd line spoke him about 425 miles out in latitude :16 and longitude 64:15 Pilot Murphy of the pilot boat American spoke him 420 miles out on July II. The German steamer Saale spoke him 800 miles out on July 19. On August he was spoken by the steamship India S64 miles out, and on August 10 he was spoken by the steamer Bulgarian. He was then l, 400 miles out, and reported himself ali safe and sound. Captain Andrews is travelling at an aver age rate of thirty-one miles day, and tho distance between here and Queenstown is about 2,S0O miles. As he is out about fifty two days now, it Will take hlm ninety days to mako the voyage, double the time il which he expected. He is provis toned for 100 days

THE ENGLISH PRESS.
How the Matter is Looked Upon By
 Brit ons.

Brit ons.
 LONDON, Ang. 25.-The St. Jd3se5'S Gazette, commenting on President Cleveland's mes- sage to Congress, says:
 "rhe position is awkward and unpleas- ant for both countries The retaliation threatened is 90 illogical and unreasonable that it is difficult to understand it's precise cause and meaning. Two plausible eXpla- nations occur. It may have been intended to influence votes or merely to bluh Cana da into granting the American demands. There is no doubt that the matter Is a se- rieus one for Canada. Not merely focal. fairs are concerned, but imperial interests are also involved. England must and will supply proper safeguards for her Canadian interests. We must await the next step. 1t is difficult 60 suppose that the matter will be allowed to end otherwise than in 8 perfectly friendly manner.
 The Globe says that President Cleveland makes a strong case against Canada, and surmises that Canada willAdoubtless be able to show equally as good & case. If the Canadians had rejected the treaty, it says, it would be easy to unerstand why Mr Cleveland should ask for retaliation. But 1t cannot understand why MT. Cleve- land, generally just man, should punish Canadians for the act of the American Senate. It asks if MT. Cleveland has at tempted bid for the Irish vote. The PdN EoW Gazette suspends opinion upon the real significance of MT. Cleve- lands messag-, but says it looks ugly. The Star (fJ. P O'Connor's paper) says it has no fear oS war over the matter, but IS of the opteSan that serious friction is certain to reSaIt.sE
 The MorntS7 Post thinks that the comity of aStions deSaanded that an invitation be sSHt ee EnglSs.d to reconsider the matter bsfors processing further. It deprecates President Cfv~eland's action, refuses to believe that ese majority of Americans de- sire to act eA an unfriendly spirit, and trusts that 8sss majority of the Represen- ( nk- of reprisais kSremature.

Fourteen New Cases of Yellow Fever and
 Two Deaths.


 JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Aug. 25.-The hope that the yellow fever germs had been stamped out and that Yellow Jack was well under control, has seen dissipated by few days.
 Notwiths tanding the labors of the Sani- tary Commission the fever is indisputably spreading and there is no idea as to where it will stop or whether it will be extermn- ated before cold weather The street. cleaning brigade is out In force daily, scraping and cleaning the streets and re- moving everything which might aid in the propagation of the disease The negroes have partially recovered from their terror, and are aga,n aiding tho Health Board in its work.
 The fumigating stations are constantly at work and immense quantities of disin- fectants are used daily.
 An order has been promulgated by the Board of Health to-day refusing to give the names of persons r.cllcn hereafter. The reason given is that the friends and rela- tives of the afflicted persons would worry over them.
 The latest official bulletin reports 14 new cases and ? deaths-Frank Marini and Mrs. Lucy Post Discharged, Fred Davis. Total cases to date, 7S; total deaths, 12; under treatment 50. It is reported again on good authority that there are many cases yet unreported. This is what keeps the peo- pie unsettled.
