said the trembling baron, STOPPING
over Imogene, and removing her
bracelets, necklace and earrings. 'I
have no arms to fight for you. Par.
don me-" and he gave the Jewels to
the robber; then, taking one of 1mo-
genes hands, he said
"Now we may 60"
"Not so easy to tell tales. Stand
off there until silence your tongue"
Imogene, glancinS up, saw the pis-
tol glimmering in the moonlight,
knew that the baron dropped her hand
and fled away, and then a new figure
appeared upon the ucene, and voice
exclaimed:
"What are you doing, you villain?"
and she knew it was Harry Hammond,
who grappled with the highwayman.
and forgetting everything else, she
sprang to her feet and rushed for
ward, crying:
"Harry Harry He will kill you!"
and as long knife shone in the faint
light, and seemed to descend upon
her discarded lover she tainted.
When she recovered her conscious
ness she found herself reclining upon
grassy mound, with Harry beside
her, bathing her temples with cool
water from the lake by which she had
stood so recently.
She lay quiet little while, feeling
quite safe and happy, and then begin
ming to realize her situation, she en-
oeavored to arise.
"Where is the robber?" she asked,
looking about her.
ST am sorry to say he succeeded in
making his escape"
"He may come back with others.
Oh, let us get away from here"
Harry assisted her to rise and at
tended her to her home; and as they
were about to part Harry refusing all
offers to enter), he handed her her
jewels, saying:
''1 succeeded in recovering these
for you"
Looking up to thank him, she
noticed that his head was bound with
handkerchief.
"oh, Harry! are you wounded?"
she exclaimed.
"It is nothing serious. Good even
ing" and he went away.
The next morning a messenger from
Mr.. Lacy came to request the pres
ence of Mr.. Hammond to lunch; and
DR.. Mason sent back word that if Mr..
Hammond kept quiet he would prob
ably escape brain fever.

ton that the baron had been made
the recipient of u package containing
his money, which he had so obligingly
allowed himself to be robbed of by
the highwayman, and a grateful letter
and a visit from Mr.. Lacy, assisted
the sick man in his recovery. For
three days afterward DIR. Mason
thought him sufficiently recovered to
ride out, and little perfumed note,
that reached him on his return home,
completed the cure and enabled him
to answer it in person at the dinner
table of the Lacys.
Tmogene was tender and kind, and
before the evening wa. over had an
opportunity to confess her repentance,
and Harry went home that night the
happiest man in the town.
"Well, Harry, you don't look as if
you would like to be crushed by a
rock or otherwise disposed of. How
is it? Shall 1 congratulate you?"

Harry, seating himself in the doctor s
room.
When the autumn months had sent
the country visitors back to Their

away, or an eruption of the earth
would send some huge rock down
upon me, and end it all!'
"On, nonsense, old man! You are
little dyspeptic. Come, face your
troubles like man. 1 know what
the matter is; I've seen it all along,
my boyl Let her go, say, with her
Misunderstanding foreigner"
"Of course you've seen it. Every
body's seen how she has gone on,
and I've borne it all, and said nothing
until last night, when, as had a
right, 1 asked an explanation, but 1
wish I hadn't; I'm sorry she ez-
planned it, for it's all over now, and
she's free to have that confounded
baron; L wish he'd accidentally shoot
or drown himselfp
"That never would do, Harry, for
she would go mourning all her days
after him, in that case, and you
wouldn't stand half the chance you do
now. I wish you would make up
your mind to let her go. She isn't
worthy of you, I'm sure.
"Yes, she is. You don't know her,
Fred. She is gentle and good, but
very ambitious. She can't help it.
You see I understand her. All her
family are very ambitious.
"Oh! that's it, is it? Probably
that's the way she explained her be-
havier to you last night?"
"No such thing, Fred. She doesn't
understand the real motive which has
induced her to do as she has done. 1t
is all owing to her bringing up. She
sees better chance than / can offer
and falls in love with that, and there
stand her father and brothers, ready
to encourage the thing. see how it
is."
"Then what do you intend to do?''
''I'm in hopes she will become dis
gusted with her baron before it is too
late. He isn't much Of q fellow, and
if it wasn't for his title and money his
chance would be small enough"
'Then you don't think she loves
him?"
"No, m sure she does not"
"Well, all I've to say is that Imogene
Lacy is vain, mercenary girl, un.
worthy of the affection of my friend,
Harry Hammond"
"You don't know her, and that is
why you talk So"
"Well, perhaps I don't; however
I've aplan topropose, which will show
you which way her heart turns; an(

erable area of unimproved land, both
prairie and forest, which is suitable
for cultivation, and it brings in a
steady stream of farm immigration.

"The view is very fine there. See
how the soft rays of the moon glim-
mer over the lake, and the shadow of
the overhanging trees; oh, how beau
tiful" and Miss Lacy paused and
gazed in silence at the scene before
her. The baron bent his dark eyes
upon his fair companion, and in low,
soft accents, said:
"You have de great love for de
nature
"Oh, yes. There is so much of
wondrous beauty to worship in the
work of the Divine Master. A scene
ike this fills me with deep Joy, stills
the worldly emotions of my nature,
and whispers to my inward sense
peace be with thee"
"And you listen to de voice of de
nature, and you be still and happy;
but when / look at you I cannot hear
the voice of anything but mine heart
crying forever dat it loves you. Is
there no answer in your hearth"
Imogene stood with downcast look,
and made no answer No light of love
beamed in her eyes, nor blush mantled
her cheek. She was fully conscious
that her heart gave no extra throb,
and yet she was considering how to
answer encouragiugly. She waited so
long that her companion spoke again
'Have you no word for me?"
"You are very kind" she said, softly,
with little sigh.
"And you. Will you be kind to
me?"
''How can be otherwise?"
"And you will be my wife?" he
asked, eagerly bending down toward
her. Imogene extended one hand
toward him. He caught it in a warm
clasp and said, quickly:
81 have your promise?'
eyes" was the low reply, and,
turning away from the moon-lit lake,
she said:
"Let US go now."
There was lonely bit of woodland
through which they must pass to gain
the main walk, and, scarcely had they
entered this when a dark figure
sprang before them.
Your money or your life," was the
demand, in rough accents, and with
a shrek Imogene turned to her com
panion for protection, but he was
quite busy in handing over his ready
money, and paid no heed to her terror.
The highwayman pocketed the
baron's effects, and then turning to
the lady he politely requested her to
hand over her jewels, but she was
quite unable to do so, for, overcome
with fright, she had sank upon the
ground.
The robber presented pistol at
the noble baron and requested him to
rid the lady of her superhuous orna,
ments, and pass them to him.

Domestic Animals Bring Infection


furnished by what we observe among
our domestic animals. Cats seem to
be specially susceptible. Probably they
often bring home rom their nocturnal
rambles those mysterious catarrhal at
tacks which so rapidly run through the
house. 1t is an old saying, ''The cat is
sneezing, we shall all have colds"
Sheep, too, are liable; whole flock
may suffer, and may show that curious
eruption around the lips (herpes labia-
ljs) which we all know only too well as
one Of the most unpleasant accompan-
tments Of bad cold in the head. On
the Australian sheep runs, when the
shearing season comes round, the men
who congregate at the sheds are fire.

catarrhal nature, which rapidly takes
hold of them and often Affects some 80
per cent. Sometimes IL becomes very
serious and may even develop into q
fatal pneumonia. To all appearance it

yesterday from Soydisfjord, brought .
report of q letter written by Professor

bore Andree's own stamp, with the re-
quest that it be placed in the nearest

the letter to merchant, Sveinn Einai.

it is expected to arrive at its destination

Mr. Randolph Williams. OF counsel for
