No; the little parlors of Bay View cottage
reveled in their brightness and fragrant
beauty, and fairly glowed with happiness
borrowed from the glorious June weather
and the merry sunshine for the suspicious

known marriage, q birth or q death,
scarcely ever the coming or going OF
friends even, plumed itself and blossomed
at once into Importance as the house where
the wealthy Eng lishman married the heiress
of magnificent sum, from over the sea
also.
No wonder that felt proud Of the hand
some, accomplished couple. The soft, sweet
light shining in those beautiful eyes behind
the flmy bridal vail of richest texture was
enough to fairly intoxicate any soul And
the handsome groom, who gazed with such

smiles: 1--WE will come back to you for

I think I never realized how much had
learned to love the daughter of my dear, dead
friend until now. But that is the fat OF
earth; the cycle of fortune bringing sun
shine to one heart casts it's shadow over an
other, and although miss her / say it is

Allan gave Miriam the jewels and the
exquisite silver tea service he brought
from their far-off dark niche in the Heath
erleigh walls and showed her the portrait
OF his father, which ''the jolly old SQUIRE"
as he called him, was so kind as to give
him from out the collection in the ancestral
gallery.
wondered If the memory of her last visit
to its gloomy solitude came back to her as
she bent reverently over the face SO like
that of tho man at her side. l fancy some
thing of that trying hour fitted through her
mind for she pressed her quiverlng lips to
the portrait and whispered, half aloud: 1--WE
meet again!'' And Allan turned away to
hide his emotion while the woman he loved
hung lovingly over the face of his dead
parent.

on her wedding day, but never know just
what she intends doing until I find myself

Allan caught his breath and put his hand
on the wall for support, looking at me with
the horror he dared not express showing
through those beautiful eyes of his, now
dilated with terrified expression.
Then came Miriam full, sweet voice in
answer, saying in little tremulous tones:
s'No, Uncle Fairfax, can say gladly that

that it is to you owe my life"

Allan Percival's face blanched like death

answer, which meant life or death to his
dearest hopes, and in the same tremulous,

tons of water, whereas, after diffusion.
and crushing in a mill, the crushed

under the boilers 14.5 lbs. of steam
were generated With crushed chips
instead Of megass, only 10 lbs. ut

that the chips are not by a long

burnt This is possibly not q per-

ton, but practical men will re Hdily

vertical boilers arranged around an
elevated platform into which the sliced
canes are delivered by the car
rier, which can be moved from one
to another by u single attendant
with very slight exertion.. This
diffusion battery is the central point
OF the SYSTEM. It is here hat the
entire process OF diffusion is
accomplished. At a first glance,
with its multiplicity of pipes
aud valves aud heat and pressure
gauges, it seems to the uninItiated
an extremely complex and some
what appalling arrangement, but is
really exceedingly simple, the whole
number of boilers requiring only
n man to attend them. And when
the diluted saccharine, or juice of
diffusion as it is called, has once
passed through the series, all trOu-
BILE in regard to it is at an end, its
subsequent treatment being exactly
the same as hat Of ordinary juice.
It will be remembered that when
in June 1887, the process was first
tried in the colony, the machinery
for slicing the couIG not be
got to work satisfactorily, and Mr..
Hogg was at that time %apprenhen-
sive hat the difficulty would prove
