The Office OF Commissioner has be-
come one of the most important OF the
many county Offices in the gift of the
people, and should be- filled by none but
those whose business ability and gem
eral good Judgment render them cap
able OF attending to the manifold duties
devolving upon them. Every dollar
that is expended by the county must be
paid upon their order, ana they are to
great extent the general supervisors
of all business transactions, hence the
Importance of having good men in
office. These men should he we'll paid,
and when we consider the great re-
sponsihility resting upon the Commits
sioners, together with the labor they
perform, the JOURNAL is OF the opin-
ion that the bill now pending for es-
tablishing n regular salary for the Com
missioners should become a law.

An editor whose soul seems to have
been touched by the first warm rays of
Spring sunshine, gave vent to his feel
ings in the following manner:
Spring is coming over the hills, Sun
light and shadow just a little longer
grow. For all the wintry lakes and
frosts it is summer time somewhere,
and now the haze on the hill, the CLINT
and CLEAN of the dawn, the gentle vest
ment in first green things, with crocus
and daffodill for coloring, point to the
opening day of Natures resurrection
period. Violets will soon be in the val
ley with the blue birds song in the air.
Chilly winds that still llnger only to
blow Easter lily's lips apart. Spring is
coming, and with hurrying footsteps.
1t is magic art indeed, that sends the
tender tendrils up through the moses
and the leaves as messengers from the
underworld. Wonderful doings are
these before the ferns come and the
pinks and the arbutus by the ravine
path. There are blossoms and break
ing buds just ahead.

CHAPTER y.
A sad History.

Mrs. Willoughby had slept but very
little on the night before; she had lain
awake, wondering what there could
poSsibIy be in common with herself
and the elderly stranger, whose com
NC had been so mySteriouSly announc-
I'd to her.
OF what secret could he have to
speak to her?
Certainly there was a secret in her
samily-a skeleton in the cupboard;
but that could be known to no one eX-
cept herself.
And in the morning Mrs. Willoughby
was greatly excited as the hour drew
near which was to bring to her the
man who had this important secret to
exchange with h@r.
Principally to the time which his
nephew had named for his arrival,
came Sir Loghleo O'Meara; and he and
Mrs. Willoughby looked into the lace
of the other, as if they had never be-
fore encountered; and, indeed, they
never before had met, but, for all that,
many evil things had Mrs. Willoughby
invoked upon the baronets head.
Mrs. Willoughby. very early left a
widow, had long resided with her only
child, a daughter, at village not
many miles from the classic city OF
Oxford.
Students from that renowned seat
of learning would occasionally lind
their way to the village in question;
snd it happened that enc of these
young gentlemen saw fair Rosa VII
ioushby. and became. unhappily for
thc Young and innocent girl, enamored
vyith her grace and beauty.

CHAPTER Ix-(ContInued.1

4 Young gentleman had been to Mrs.
Villoughby, on the. previous day, and
had said that an elderly relative of his
own entreated to be allowed to wait
mon her, that he might communicate
TO her a very important secret.
Mrs. Willoughby's visitor, the one
with whom we have at present to do,
was no other person than Stanley
ClaremOnt, who had--we can we'll UNI
dprstand INTERCHANGEABLE to his
uncle the old lady's name and address; ;
having contrived to give a plausible
account as to how he had become ac-
Quainted with them.
And this, perhaps will be the best
opportunity we shall have to state how
it had happened that Abraham Mailer,
the peddler, had been able to impart
TO Stanley Claremont that Sydney
Drummond was the name which the
Raronet was so anxious to learn.
1t happened very simply, and in this
wise-Abraham Mailer had been in
Mrs. Willoughby's neighborhood; had
seen Sir Loghlen's old servant there;
had overheard some of the inquiries
which he had been making; had
seen him conversing earnestly with
Mrs Willoughby's maid-servant, and
had immeditely recognized James
Frampton, when meeting him again
On board the steamboat.
And while James Frampton and the
servant girl had been in conversation
Sydney Drummond had entered the
hot Sc to receive from his brother that
money which was afterWard so fatally
lost at cards; and the peddler had OBJ
served that Mrs Wolloughbys servant
had hastily pointed toward the young
man. and that james Frampton had
then fixed a very earnest and peculiar
look on him.
Abraham Mailer " ordered to himself
| little what all the ''goings on as he
called them, we're about; and there
would have been an end for him, since
he could not hope to make any money
By the affair, but for those letters of
SANKEY'S, which, on board the Dread
aought, he had stolen and read.
And then, guided by those letters,
and by what he had before seen and
heard, the peddler jumped at once to a
conclusion concerning; Sydney Drum
mond, which had proved, as Abraham
Mailer felt assured it would do, most
perfectly correct.

aephew, who had acted, the baronet
said. nobly, and like an honest man;
Tor i[}an1ey had known that it was his
)Wn fate which soon now would be de-
eided, and yet had not hesitated in his
devotion to his uncle. Yes, it was, the
baronet considered, most truly noble
conduct and should be well remember
ed to Stan1ey's advantage.
And Stanley meekly replied that II
he had won his uncle's appreciation he
was already most amply repaid.
And Stanley Claremont had, as he
believed, good reason now to be sat
SIZED with himself and all around him.
He had laid the train the mine would
presently be sprung and Stanley would
liz the treasure, which had been so
aearly lost to him, from amidst the
ruin, which would engulf the hopes of
every one except himself alone.
