Alan looked at her and her pretty
slimness of which he had been so
proud, at the beautiful, refined face, at
the eyes through which her beautiful
soul seemed to shine, and when he
looked at it and realized what he was
about to lose great numbness came
over him. He could not speak, he
could scarcely think. 1t seemed as II a
huge chasm yawned before them, into
which they were both to be flung. And
so this awful evening went its way.
They hardly spoke. They sat hand In
hand in the darkness. Life seemed a
blank. They had come to standstill.
II was as IL death had caught them
with their young blood surging In
their pulses.
At last Alan reused himself. Il must

Joyce was quiet; then she said:
There's Veronica's child, Alan. You
should try and be father to it. Poor
little thing, it would comfort you
"If Veronica were dead" said Alan,
T could care for it and cherish it. and
love it; but neither the child will want
for anything nor its mother. But l
could not take it away from Veronica,
and I do not want to come into con-
tact with her. l do not hate her, poor
girl; but 1 might get to hate her when
l thought Of you, Joyce-my joyce
and yet not mine
He rose slowly and painfully. A
great terror came over Joyce. You
will see me again, Alan? This Is not
good-by. l could not bear it-oh,
could not! Tell me you will come TO
me again and kiss me goou-py! on'
I am your wife, Alan!"
He put his arms round her. Sne

AINsLEE's for September has six ex-
haustive articles on the subject OF
Trusts, written by Cyrus C. Adams. 1t
covers the subject under the general
head Of Trusts in Europe, as they serve
as a companion with our conditions at
home. 1t would be difficult to name
an authority more deserving of atten-
ton. Other subjects represented in
the September Ainslee's, or some of
them are: "Cattlemen and Sheepmen,"
by Captain James II. McClintock, late
of the Rough Riders; q fascinating
melodrama of the Far West-the war
of the cattlemen against the sheep
owners. Then there is much about A.
B. Stickney and what he has done and
written, and said in railroads, city and
country life, in the cause of the work.

LADIES HOME JOURNAL for Septem-
Der has articles upon the trials, duties,
vexations, ETC., of ministers wives,
mostly contributed by themselves.
They are all of especial interest to lady
members of all church organizations
and church societies. One of these
contributions is here given: ut is
safe to say, from wide acquaintance
with ministers wives, that they are
not sometimes, but always, imposed
upon; they are laid upon the Procrus-
team bed of fought to be, and anatom-
ical considerations vanish before the
joy most people feel in the cheerful
task of stretching out or looping off
one or other of the privileges which
the majority of the other women in the
parish possess to an unlimited degree. "
Every department of this number OF
the Ladies' Home Journal seems to
excel in interesting articles.

Profits in the slave Trade.

From Pearson's Magazine.
The profits of the slave trade were enor-
nous. and were so tempting that they
often induced the good missionaries who
were sent ont to save the souls of the
heather TO change their avocation 10 the
more prosaic and gainful business of deal
ing in heather bodies. One or two exam
pies will give an idea OF what these prof
its amounted 10. The trade of the Mo-
zambique coast was principally with Bra
Zil, and one venture shows that here 500
men, boys, and women were purchased
at an average of SIS each, or a total of
5000. Four hundred and thirty-five sur
vived the voyage and were sold In Rio
Janeiro, the men at $500, the women $205,
and the boys sl55 each. or a total of
$SS. .i75 leaving on this one transaction a
gross profit of almost $4,000, from which
of course must be deducted the expenses
of the voyage
Many of the slaves imported into the
United States came through Havana
which was a slave emporium when the
slave trade was al its height. A small
venture from that port shows that the
total cost of the outward trip, including
the price of the ninety-ton schooner and
the goods for barter, together with pro-
visions for the crew and slaves, brlbes for
clearance papers. and commissions for
fitting out was so, 142 The return voyage

DR.. Gregory was sixty-three years old.
He had not preached in ST. Stephens for
three Sundays on account of heart at
tacks, but when word was passed around
that he would resume his duties to-day
the church was filed. The service had
progressed to the singing of a hymn
which precedes the sermon. DR.. Gregory
arose and read three verses of the hymn,
beginning: Love divine, all love excell-
ing" While the music of the anthem
filled the church, DIR. Gregory was no
ticed to seat himself, and then fall limp
over one of the arms of the chair. Mem
bers of the congregation went to his as
sistance. and two physicians who hap
pened TO be passing the church were
called in. They saw at once that the
minister was beyond human aid, and in
