else about him. beyond the patent facts
that he had been charmingly jealous in
her service and THAT his manner had
been precisely what the manner of
gentleman should be under such cf9cum-
stances, deferential and wholly unpre-
suming. That she should ever meet
him again she was altogether too pr'ao-
tical to imagine; but the picture Of
him which had remained with her, for
the very vagueness of it's outlines, had
always had strong hold upon her fancy.
In the extravaganza of youths delight
in adventure, she had liked to magnify
the romance of the episode by endowing
the hero with every grace, until uncon-
sciously to herself he had developed to
an ideal, altogether transcending the
common run of men.
And now in a moment the fair goo
was rudely topp4ed to earth. He was
Harvey Neil, an ,unprincipled adven-'
turer, who by Misrepresentation anc
fraud and by clever play upon the falli-
bility of the law would strive to despoil
his neighbor. He had dared to accuse
her father of stealing a fortune out Of
the Mascot mine; he would brand him
as common thief, simply to attain his
own iniquitous ends. "Aregular bunoo
game" her father had tersely charac.
terized the suit which had been brought
against him A bunco game! and de-
vised by him who had been idealized in
her mind as a very Chevalier Bayard,
without fear and without reproach.
Youth resents so fercely it's disillu-
sionments! She could have wept angry
tears for the sense of loss, of cruel griev-
ance, in this ruthless shattering of her
ideal.
She had nearly reached that point
far down the hill where the road lead
ing up to the Grubstake branched away
to the east in an acute angle, when her
eyes fell upon the handkerchief still
bound about her wrist. With little
inarticulate exclamation she brought
the horse to an abrupt stop, while, hur-
riedly undoing the damp folds, she
looked back. She would not have ad-
mitted TO herself that she expected to

had left him, absorbed in sentimental
contemplation of her back; but her i'll
humor was not little augmented by
the fact that he had wholly vanished
from sight, while nobody appeared
whom she could call to her assistance.
Acting upon the first impulse: she
turned to 60 back up the hill, but with
second thought she stopped again,
perplexedly studying the situation.
One small cabin, somewhat apart from
the other buildings of the mine, she in
stinctively settled upon as Neips pri-
vate quarters; and she was half disposed
to ride up to the door forthwith and
boldly tender him this bit of his equip
ment, of which she so keenly longed to
be rid; but with reflection appeared a
dozen reasons why she should not do
that, not the least of which was her
nervous dread of again encountering
Neil himself. She must return the
handkerchief by some messenger, she
decided. with sharp dislike for the very
sight of it, thrlsting It down into her

dith."
The girl rode on for couple of min
Utes in silence, with a little scornful air
of ignoring his existence; then, as
though of a sudden bethinking herself,
she looked around, her cheeks flaming
red, her eyes shining with brightness
which seemed perilously akin to tears.
II suppose it would be waste Of time
to discuss the point of honor in tho
case," she said, tartly. "And am sure
need not trouble you to come any
farther, Mr.. .- Nel," bringing out the
name with evident disrelish.
"All right" he acquiescently re-
joined, checking his horse at once.
"But-1 wish we could part friends,
Miss Meredith"
Can you not see that?"
There was. an odd flash in Harvey
Neil's eyes as he leaned forward, intent
ly regarding her averted face for an in
stant, and his voice was exquisitely gen.
tie as he impetuously exclaimed: "Ibe-
ieve' you are almost as sorry to say
that. Miss Meredith, as am to hear
you. And if that is so, we are friends,
in spite of everything"
''Never!" she vehemently retorted,
giving the horse a smart touch with the
whip; and without another word she
dashed away down the hill, leaving him
looking blankly after her.

ROSEBERY ON FREE TRADE.

Matter of Colonial Commercial Reference
Not Sanctioned.
Manchester, Nov. 2-Lord Rosebery
addressed q large meeting here this even
ing in connection with the centenary Gel.
ebration of the cham Der of commerce.
He reviewed the history of free trade.
deliberately eulogiZed what he described
as its advantage to England
Lord Roseberry contended that the
condition of agriculture abroad, despite
bounties and protection, was little bet
ter, and in some cases worse, than in
England. He quoted Sir Wilfrid Laurier,
the Dominion premier, as ga most illus
trious authority, sustaining the view that
it is free trade which has preserved and
consolidated the British empire"
He fully agreed w tn Sir Wilfred Iau-
rier, he declared, that any deviation from
absolute polite cal and commercial free
dom would weaken the bonds holding the
empire together, and that anything in
the direction of an imperial zollverein
would weaken the empire internally and
excite permanent hostility of the whole
world, already seriously excited by Brit
ish prosperity under free trade ~
He said he would tread softly in the
presence Of the idea OF zollverein," for
he believed it already dead. 1t behooved
them TO walk strongly and warily in the
path of the empire, but such zollve.
rein would form permanent menace of
war.
