THE SPEAKER WAS JOHN BAlsLoW.
1 might almost say surreptitiously,"
she began.
81 dunnot know what surreptitiously
means, but if it means that Kate Gra-
hame did anythin' to shame her, wun-
not believe it of the lass-so, there
you've got it,"
II mean that she left unknown to
me-"
"An' hadna thee done nothin' to make
her think her biding wi thee wasna
agrecablc?"
I'VE certainly had little trouble,
and perhaps my manner was not as
cordial rs usual"
"May be bold enough to ask the
cause of the trouble?"
"You may. Mr.. Colburn, the emf
uent solicitor of Lincoln's inn, had
taken great trouble to secure position
for her in CANADA, and ut the last mo-
ment, she fatty refused to start, or &c
give any explanation Of her obstinate
conduct"
Sensible lass! Old England was
good enough for her; bless her little
heart. like her ten times better for
scttin' her pretty face agen journey to
Turin parts
"But you forget. Mr.. Barlow, that
Kate Grahamc had to make her way in
the world, and"
"Ah, marin. scc-thce made her feel
that-an' that's why the sweet maid
left thee"
"Oh. Mr.. Barlow, how can You be so
cruel to nc? I tell you | loved the girl
like my own sister, and, though was
angry with her and might have said
some unlsind words in my veXation, !
never thought"
"That herd had the spunk to take
thy sneers in earnest. Like woman,
thee did ma think that word can cut
as sharp IS n whip-thong-but, tell me,
did thee hear nothin' Of the poor lass
since her went away nigh on twelve
month agonc?"
"Ycs, about month ago my maid
met her in Kings road, Chelsea, and
she gave her an address in the neigh
borhood. She said that the poor child
was looking so wan and miserable
that"
THAT what?"
THAT / got the better of my pride
and wrote to her imploring her to re-
turn to my roof"
Thee did, marin! Well, that was
hearty o. thee, an more like what I'd
thought Miss Balderstone 'ud u done.
Well, what did the maid say?"
"Shc never answered my letter, and
of course after such contemptuous treat
ment could not"
sOf course thee couldn't! My! what
a heap Of dignity goes to the makeup
of even the best of women. But will
thee give me the address, for mayhap-
pen / shamot be SO easily angered by
her."
"Willingly, Mr.. Barlow, and / hope
You will be moro successful in restoring
the young lady to a proper frame OF
mind than have been. Perhaps, after
what has passed, you may deem it inn
pertinent if l ask after your wife and
daughter"
This was in Miss Balderstone's highest
style of MincrvaliSe dignity.
"Thee knowest will not. Wife De-
borah be fair to middlin', an Nellie, my
little Nellie's goin' to be married"
How exultingly the farmer gave this
latter piece of information.
aye" he added, ito be married to
two hunderd an forty acres Of the best
arabic land l. the county Of Surreyl"
Surely" Miss Balderstone said,
smiling through her chagrin. lyon are
not making sacrifice ofyour daughters
happiness-you speak 20 strangely
about her marrying the land?"

IN ARCADE.

In Arcade $50 II 10 said,
Whcro dwell oil lovers true,
Tho paths within the woodland shade
For lovers wandcrings arc made
Just wide enough for two.
I long have tried the golden gates
That shut out Arcade,
Dut he who 1T tho portal waits,
Obcdicnt to higher iatcs
Is blind-or claims 10 be.
He cannot see single soul:
Yet when maid and youth
Come by tho grca. gates open roll,
And Eros as passing toll
Claims but one word OF truth.
What that word Ia / cannot tell
Yet think that can guess:
No other word holds such spell,
No other word would do as well,
1t surely must be "Yes."
My lady, will you come with me-
Ono whispered word from you
Unlocl;s the gates OF Arcade,
Where care and sorrow may not be,
And paths trc made for two.

MET IN THE WILDERNESS.

"Campignon"
"Dunbar!"
Both men spoke simultaneously.
Yes, it was indeed Campignon, though
Arthur might have been excused from
recognizing him in his present state OF
squalor, his only costume n straw hat
and O sleeveless tunic. There was
hardly spot on his body that was not
discolored from blow or n scratch OF n
thorn, but his eyes blazed with fierce
ness which showed the fury that was
raging in his breast. There was some
thing tragic in his manner us he said,
pointing to his weals and cuts:
THAT ficnd, Archer, shall pay dearly
for this!''
"Archer!"

All that ask is that you will give me
arms to defend or avenge myself: quick,
there is not moment to be lost"
Arthur glanced ut the baronet. He
had relapscd into his former air of Ian
guild Indifference, not even looking Mt
the strange scene being enacted in his
presence.
Dunbar was always quick in action.
"Follow me to my chamber" he said,
1.-The last place they will ever think OF
looking for YOU"
In the retirement OF the room which
Arthur occupied, which was by q good
chance at the very back OF the long,
low bungalow, separated from the main
body of the building by passage, the
exhausted man briefly told his adven-
lures.
II was on guard at our camp in the
wood when you missed me" he said, as
he threw himself into Dunbar's bed.
"And doubtless my absence caused you
much surprise and anxiety. Well. it
oil came about in this way. Just before
dawn, heard voices in the distance.

Dunbar's eyes were moist with tears.

Campignon continued, II fired n re-
volver and made n dash for the woods,
crying aloud, us though urging others
to flight. Ny ruse succeeded. In min

them q long dance before / finally fell
into their clutches"
"How brave! How gcncrous!" was
all Dunbar could say.

THE officials of the Union Mutual Life
are inclined to account for this large in
crease of their business in the idea that
the day for the smaller and more conserv-
ative companies has arrived. Our view
is: That in the past ''the dread of for
feituren has been the worst drawback
against life insuring, and therefore the
splendid and most satisfactory record
made by the Union Mutual Life the last
ID years in protecting it's policy-holders
for unprecedented long terms against
forfeiture from inability to continue to
pay premiums, is, year after year, be-
coming more generally known among
life agents, solicitors and the insuring
public, and in their appreciation of this
record dispelling this dread of forfeit
ure'' in life insurance, not only has there
resulted this large increase in the bust
ness of the company these few years
past, but that as the non-forfeiture fea-
lures of the Union Mutual policies be-
come still more universally known, there
will follow still greater ratios of increase
in the transactions of this organization
in future. Philadelphia Intelligencer,
April, 1892.
