on the bill by Mr.. Davis OF Minnesota.
who advocated free trade between the
United States and Porto Rico. His
speech was comparatively brief, but
bis reasoning was so close and cogent
that he crowded into small space an
immense amount OF we'll digested In
formation and careful thought His
principal proposition was that the nee.
essary money to be raised by taxation
should not be raised by duty levied
upon Porto Rican products, but by an
internal revenue tax levied on rum and
tobacco produced In the island This
system, In his opinion, would better
suit the people Of the United States and
those Of Porto Rico than the proposed
tariff. and would be just, equitable and
constitutional.
The amendment offered by Mr.. Car,

lating to the mining for gold under

little of which was applicable to the
bill. Mr.. Griggs created division by
charging reckless extravaganza in the
fitting up of the transport Sumner and
precipitated a lively debate upon Ste
subject. He gave notice that later he
would ask the house to investigate the
subject.

CHAPTER VII.

One day Magnus had come home
from Crag Castle looking strangely
pale and detected. Day was wise
enough, like tactful maiden as she
was, not to ask him anything; but
when she had given him his tea, and
Magnus was leaning back In his chair,
he suddenly said:
Your friend, Mr.. Monteith, was at
the castle when l was there, Day."
Day started, and warm blood rushed
into her cheeks, then receded, leav-
ing them deadly pale.
"With-Miss Stuart?'' she asked, af-
ter long pause.
With Miss Stuart" Magnus replied,
in tone of assumed cheerfulness. He
was silent for a little; then, rising.
walked to his sisters side and laid mis-
hand on her shoulders.
My dear little sister, there is just
one word / wish to say to you, and
then We shall allude to this subject
no more. 1t is about this young fell
low, Evan Monteith. We must remem-
Der that We know absolutely nothing
about him. l do not wish to enter
tain any prejudice against him; but
this We can say in all fairness-he has
preserved perfect reticence with re-
gard to himself towards us.
1t is better, l think, for us both to
treat him as this reticence almost
compels us to do-as a mere chance
acquaintance, stranger, with whom
there can be no question of friendship,
simply because the necessary basis Of
friendship does not exist. Now, little
one, that is all. Put him out Of your
mand, if you ever allowed him to have
any place there; and be my own sweet,
light-hearted little sister once more.
Don't let us speak again of the sub
ject. Now give me kiss, Day, and
let me see you smile and look as bright
as you used to do"
Day held up her mouth to his, but
rush of mingled tenderness and pity
swept over Magnus as he felt the pitt
full trembling of her lips She made a
brave effort to smile, and succeeded
not badly.
THAT is like my joyous Day." said
Magnus, smiling. His own gloom had
disappeared in his effort to render her
cheerful.
Now another cup Of tea, little one,
| am going over to Kirkwall tomor-
row, Day-or, rather, to Scapa. Capt.
Ferguson's boy Is i'll, and he wishes me
TO see him.
| shall have to take a conveyance.
What do you say to coming, too? 1t
woud be nice little trip, and you
could call for the manse folk at Kirk
wall on the way back"
Days heart was sick within her, but
she made another brave attempt to
look delighted, though ne projected
trip held out no attractions for her
now. A fortnight ago she would have
leaped at it with childish delight.
1T would be nice, Magnus," she said,
wondering If Magnus guessed how
hard it was TO make her voice sound
cheerful. Eyes, of course, | shall GO.
1t isn't likely / would miss such a
chance"
So they chatted gaily over the pro-
jected expedition, though the heart of
each was heavy; but love made each
try to hide that from the other.
